The third day heading toward the village of Hatau.

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

It was almost an hour before we pushed on through the forest with Ciel in the lead.

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

"Um, Ivy?"

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

Mr. Druid is behind me, not beside me, because we are walking on a roadless path.

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

The place is crawling with vines, and if we are not careful, we might trip.

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

I reply back in a slightly louder voice, watching my footing.

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

Where are you headed?"

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

I don't know.

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

'...... I see. Ahh, are you always like this?"

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

Like this?

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

What does it mean?

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

Well, I mean...

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

Oh, you mean, even when you were alone, you walked down this road with Ciel in the lead?"

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

This morning, I was still walking toward the village of Hatau in a relatively easy walking area near the village road.

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

But on the way, Ciel changed direction and went deeper into the forest.

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

As for me, I followed him without question, as I always do, but I wondered if there was something wrong.

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

...... Oh, I see.

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

This is the first time the druid has traveled with Ciel, so he doesn't know what lies ahead?

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

I should have explained it to him properly.

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

I failed.

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

Excuse me, Mr. Druid. When Ciel goes deep into the forest, it is in case there is something beyond that point.

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

Is that so?"

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

Yes, sir. There are medicinal fruits and rare herbs. That is why it is better to follow Ciel.

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

I see. But isn't it dangerous to go deep into the forest with such a small group?"

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

Dangerous?

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

I've never had a problem until now.

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

I've never been attacked by demons or animals. Ciel tells me about dangerous cliffs and such.

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

I 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

Nyaun."

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

Ciel, perhaps having heard the conversation, purrs with pride.

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

'Well, you're doing all right.'

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

It seems that Mr. Druid also believed Ciel.

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

Thank goodness.

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

'It's always exciting to see what's in store, isn't it?

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

Ha ha ha, I'm thrilled."

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

Pounding?"

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

Yes," he said. Even though Ciel is here, I'm coming deep into the woods in such an unprotected state.'

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

Dokidoki ...... scared?

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

Anxious?

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

I'll be fine, okay?"

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

Ha ha ha."

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

I follow Ciel, wondering about the druid's words.

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

Then, after walking for a while, we see a large giant tree.

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

Blue fruits on the tree.

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

Ah, these are the blue fruits of the forest that Mr. Guilmouth recommended.

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

I guess so. Don't you know its name?"

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

I couldn't remember it because it was so long. Totora Sera Sera ......"

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

You remember.

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

No, there's more to come after this.

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

Is that so?"

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

Yes, sir." I heard that in some towns and villages, 'Toto' or 'Totocera' sometimes works, but each one is different. The shopkeeper told me that you can recognize it anywhere as 'the blue fruit of the forest.'"

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

Totora sera sera, what is it?

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

It's a name I've tried to remember a few times, but it's a name that makes my mouth run tangled.

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

Nyaun."

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

Ciel sits a little at the base of a tree.

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

I knew she was leading us to the location of this fruit.

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

Thank you, Ciel. I'll do my best to harvest them.

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

He pulls out a bag and harvests the blue berries.

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

Mr. Druid helped me, and the bags filled up fast.

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

'That's a heck of a lot.

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

'Mr. Gilmouth told me that he recommends this fruit because the price doesn't fluctuate, so I'll take a little more.

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

I see."

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

As I was about to pick up my bag, it was quickly taken from my side.

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

"Mr. Druid?"

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

I can handle this much."

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

Are you sure?

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

Hmmm...I'll probably harvest other things, so I'll ask for the blue fruit.

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

'Well then, please. I will hold the next harvest."

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

"Ha ha ha, nice to meet you."

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

After harvesting the blue fruits, we took a short break.

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

It is a little chilly where we are now because of the many trees and shadows.

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

It seemed cooler just a little while ago.

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

But this fruit is so deep in the forest.

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

Yes, it is. These blue berries and yellow berries are deep in the forest.

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

I'm pretty sure the yellow fruit is the one called 'Hakuto'?"

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

Yes. I love those things.

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

I've never had it.

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

It's very sweet and delicious.

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

...... would sell for a good price, too, wouldn't it?

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

Well, the last time I was here, I ate it all up.

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

I see." ...... As I recall, they cost almost the same as the blue berries."

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

Mr. Druid is whispering something but I can't hear him.

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

What's wrong?"

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

No."

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

I wonder, is your face a little drawn?

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

Are you tired?

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

Are you okay?"

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

I'm fine. Well, let's get going."

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

At the druid's words, Ciel immediately starts walking in the lead.

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

'Um, I should follow you, shouldn't I?

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

Yes, sir. I don't know where I am.

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

When I follow Ciel, I never know which direction I am going.

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

So I have to rely on Ciel for everything.

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

In the beginning, I tried to at least check the direction, but it was impossible.

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

I thought, "Yes, that's right. I'm looking forward to working with you, Ciel.

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

Nyaun."

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

I look up at the sky through the trees.

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

It is gradually getting darker earlier and earlier these days.

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

At this rate, I doubt I'll ever make it back to the vicinity of the village road.

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

............

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

Look around.

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

It has started to get dark after all.

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

Ciel, I think it's time to find a place to sleep.

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

Nyaun."

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

Ppppp~"

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

Te ryu~"

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

Whoa, did Flem wake up?

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

When I opened my bag, I found Flem missing.

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

Good morning. It's already evening, Flem."

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

...... Huh?

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

Was Flem missing just now?

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

Had I done that before?

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

Hmm?

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

Well, okay.

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

I'm not sure what a "bunk is. ...... Well, Ivy. You don't know ...... about this area, do you?"

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

Mr. Druid looks somewhat troubled.

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

Mr. Druid is a little strange today.

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

Is he still tired?

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

Then I'd better make sure I get some rest early.

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

Sola, can I ask you a favor?"

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

Ppppp~, ppppp~!"

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

When I ask Sola to do something for me, she squeals happily and looks around.

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

Then he jumps toward a certain direction as if he found something.

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

Let's go."

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

Uh-huh.

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

There's no tension in the druid's voice.

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

She must be very tired.

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

"Ppppp~!"

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

Sola is in a good mood and jumps around.

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

The druid and I follow her.

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

After a short walk, we find Sola swaying in front of a large hole in a tree.

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

It seems to be the recommended place for her to sleep.

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

Thank you, Thora.

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

Gently peeking inside, I found that the space was large enough for Ciel to enter without any problems.

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

There was no sign of recent use by demons.

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

It seems to be fine.

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

"Druid, let's use this as our sleeping place for today."

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

Ha ha ha, something like that. Yeah."

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

What?　What's wrong?"

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

No. Ha ha ha.

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

Funny, I can't have a conversation with Mr. Druid.

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

Are you that tired?

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

I'm only on the third day of my trip.

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

Nyaun."

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

What's wrong, Ciel? What is it?"

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

Nyan."

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

'Mr. Druid, I think Ciel has found something, so I'm going to go. You look tired, so please stay here and rest."

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

What? I'm fine.

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

I'm not okay. You've been acting a little strange since a while ago.

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

No, it's because it was a more amazing trip than I thought it would be. ......

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

An amazing trip?

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

I'm sure there wasn't anything strange about it.

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

When I tilted my head, the druid laughed bitterly.

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

'Well, you should take a break for now.

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

'...... okay. I'll just get my bunk ready."

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

What's that? Wouldn't that be a break?"

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

I'm fine.

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

Really?"　Please don't take it easy. Um, Flem, please."

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

I'm worried, but it's getting dark outside.

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

Let's harvest the things Ciel found early and come back.

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

I'm off."

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

Take care."

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

............

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

Flem, Ivy's trip sounds amazing."

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

Teru~"

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

I had no idea we were going to be this deep in the woods with no gear. Even I was a little scared.

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

Teru~"

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

And you find a place to sleep so easily in the woods. Sola is really amazing.

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

Teru~"

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

From the looks of Ivy, this is normal.

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

Teru~"

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

Maybe I joined the awesome team?"

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

Teru~"

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

Come to think of it, I'm deep in the woods and I don't see any demons or animals. ...... Ciel's presence is huge."

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

Teru~"

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

...... Flem, are you listening to me?"

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

I look at Flem and he stares back at me.

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

Looking into those eyes, I feel calm.

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

Thank you. I'll do my best to get used to it."

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

Ryu-ju."
