I open my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It must be dawn, judging from the faint light shining on the tent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I search for any sign of discomfort, but there is none nearby.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Breathing a sigh of relief, I stretch my arms and relax.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I got up and looked to the side, I saw that Sola was sound asleep, looking very comfortable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I suppress my desire to sleep again and reach for a change of clothes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yesterday, I had gone to the dumping ground partly because of the potion, but also because I wanted to make sure of one more thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wanted to check whether or not I was really being targeted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The discomfort I had felt several times in the plaza was completely undetectable during the two days of travel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wondered if perhaps my unfamiliarity with the atmosphere of the strike team had created an illusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I trust Sola, but I also hoped that I was a little mistaken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But the discomfort I perceived yesterday was also accompanied by a clingy stare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I honestly didn't expect things to happen this quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But now that I know, I have to think about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I am sure that I am being targeted, what should I do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And what about Meera. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ms. Rattlore and Meera seemed to be very close.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Would they believe me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I felt uneasy, but it would be better to tell the truth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if they ...... hate me for it and give up on me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After making sure Sola hasn't jumped out of the blanket, I open the entrance to the tent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Outside the tent, stretch out your arms once more and relax your body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look around and find Rickbert and Borolda asleep, propped up against the ...... desk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They seem to have fallen asleep, drunk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, for now, I think I'll make a refreshing, easy-to-digest soup for breakfast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I believe there are still some herbs left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I want them to listen to me, I have to make sure they wake up first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I made a fire and put water, thinly sliced dried meat, and root vegetables that I was allowed to use for cooking into the pot and simmered them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When the vegetables are tender, add the herbs and the soup is ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The rest can be found at .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Smells good."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Borolda-san, perhaps attracted by the smell, swoops up from his desk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rickbert also gets up and looks around curiously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's that?　Why are you here at ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Borolda, who was watching the situation, sighed loudly and scratched his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She said, "You're such a pain in the ass, ......, for completely erasing me from your memory after getting involved with me so much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah~ ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Their voices are kind of muffled and a little hard to hear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe they have sore throats?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy, good morning!　Sorry I overslept."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oooh, ...... your voice is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Ms. Lattrua's voice came out in her usual tone, Borolda and Rickbert held her head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are you all right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy, good morning." If it's those two, you can leave them alone. They're just hungover."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Seyserk comes out of the tent and hands a paper bag to Mr. Rattler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, yes. I warned you so much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Keep your voice down. It echoes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Rickbert looks heartily disgusted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems to be really hard for him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He looks really uncomfortable. I overslept too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I shake my head at Mr. Seiselk, who apologizes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I was taking the soup into my bowl, Mr. Borolda laid it out on the desk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Rattler seemed to have taken out a loaf of black bread from a paper bag and cut it into pieces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Bon appétit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The two hangover victims hesitated for a moment before reaching for the soup.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, it's so refreshing!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was relieved that the food tasted good enough to eat even with a hangover.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After the meal, we drank tea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What should I do? Is it okay to suddenly start talking here?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe a little more, when you're more settled?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ivy, can I have a word with you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Just as well, because I need to talk to you too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That ...... something, Mr. Seiselk's expression seems to be something very painful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And Mr. Rattler looks somewhat grumpy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Borolda also has an indescribable expression on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rickbert is looking down and I can't make out his expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm at ............, let's see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you can't make it, you can always say no." I want you to hear it on that basis. I want Ivy to help me catch the organization ...... and I want her to act as bait."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... okay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We can't keep running away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I've been thinking about what I should do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Considering my current state, the word "decoy" came to mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Frankly, it scared me, but I felt it was the best way to break the status quo.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ivy, no!　It's that easy!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Rattler grabs my shoulder with a tearful expression on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am sorry to see that face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I am sure that if there was any other way than this, Mr. Seiselk would not be talking to me like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps there is no way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I was going to ask you too. I cannot move as it is. That's why I asked you to cooperate."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All of them looked surprised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'And .......'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My heart makes a sickening sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I tell this, no one may help me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Still, I have to say it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meera and the others from Green Wind might be from the organization."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was making eye contact with Mr. Lattrua, but at the end I looked down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They might not believe me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They might think I am a liar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am afraid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I can't hide this from him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know Ivy was suspicious of ....... And I found out yesterday that ...... Meera is a traitor."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look up at the lonely voice of Mr. Lattrua.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There he was, with an indescribable expression on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'When you were at the defeat squad square, you were trying very hard to hide something, weren't you?　I didn't understand at first. But as I watched, I realized. I noticed that he was very afraid of Meera."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Before that, when you were in the middle of defeating them?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But what was yesterday?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Rattlur asked me to have supper with him, I had heard a reason for it. But I didn't believe him, because Meera is one of us. But when I saw Meera and the others yesterday, I understood who the traitor was."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Borolda's words raise a question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When was the last time we had dinner together?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And did you know there was a traitor in your midst?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But that was a surprise. When we returned to the plaza after the defeat, Rattler suddenly bowed his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps to change the overly dark atmosphere, Borolda's voice is cheerful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seiseluk and Rattler both laugh in response.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The supper at the time of the defeat...... Oh, I think it was the day when Mr. Rattler took a day off from the defeat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meera invited me to dinner with her that day, and when I was thinking about what to do, Rattlua said, "I already have plans with the leader."...... But it was different, wasn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see, you noticed by my attitude and helped me out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you, Mr. LaTrua."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I was skeptical at the time. But after talking to Ivy a lot, I knew she wasn't the kind of girl who would try to fool anyone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Bow deeply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I honestly didn't expect you to believe me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Because Meera and the others are my friends with whom I have shared many hardships and joys.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And yet, they have been protecting me all this time, albeit half-heartedly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tears spill down my cheeks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My head is gently stroked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am sorry," Meera said. I should have told you sooner. But I wanted to believe in ...... Meera."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I shake my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, they are my friends.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thinking about it made my tears spill even more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I manage to take a deep breath and stop the tears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I looked up, Borolda gently wiped my face with a towel.
