I guess a lot has happened today."

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

I guess so."

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

The druid's words make me sigh as I remember today.

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

You can't prevent people from misunderstanding that you might have something to do with the crime, even if they don't know it.

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

Yeah, I can't help it.

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

As I was fretting in agony, I was startled by a sudden burst of laughter from next door.

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

I looked and saw Mr. Druid shaking his shoulder and laughing.

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

It was so sudden that I was a little taken back.

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

What?　Ivy, that reaction is kind of sad."

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

He laughed suddenly. You're scaring me.

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

No," he said. When I thought of Commander Toubroe, I remembered the old Gothos."

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

Mr. Gothos ...... Oh, I mean Mr. Gilmas of All Town.

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

You don't call him Mr. Gilmas, do you?"

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

When you were in town, you called me 'Gilmas,' didn't you?

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

We're so far out of town, I kind of decided to call it what it used to be."

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

The old days?

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

Come to think of it, weren't Mr. Gothos and Mr. Druid childhood friends?

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

Huh?　Am I wrong?

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

Commander Tableau is in the middle of a lot of confusion right now.

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

Lost?"

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

'Oh, what I should do and how I should be as a commander. I look unreliable because I am not sure what to do.

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

Certainly, compared to the other group leaders and guilmouths I have met so far, I felt quite unreliable.

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

From what I've heard, it sounds like this is the first big problem I've had with the Commander. He's stuck in his position because he has a firm understanding that his decisions will cause the people of the village to suffer. Plus, it sounds like there's the whole Gilmouth thing with the commercial guilds."

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

It must be quite a thing to be at the top of an organization.

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

Perhaps even Pria Guillermas, the guildmaster of the Adventurers' Guild."

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

He said he reached the position of guilmouth around the same time.

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

He said, "It takes a lot of determination to get to the top of an organization. When you actually get to that position, you feel lost, even though you were prepared for it. And above all, it is lonely.

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

Alone?

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

I have friends. There are people who can help you. But when I have to make a decision, I am alone. And you have to bear the consequences alone.

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

That's terrifying.

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

Because it means that someone can die because of your decision.

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

Top management can't do it if they are afraid that people will die."

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

I'm sure that's true. ......

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

'Ideally, I'd save everyone, but I'm not naive. So we choose the way more can survive."

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

That's what Mr. Gilmas of Alltown decided to do.

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

He decided that he would help as many people in the town as he could, knowing that some of the adventurers going to the forest would die.

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

He said, "It's easy to put into words. My head can understand it, but my heart can't. Above all, I don't have an immediate answer as to whether my decision was right or wrong."

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

Indeed.

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

You may realize later that there was a better way.

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

I just wish I had someone to support me."

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

I know it's hard."

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

When I put it into words, I felt somewhat light-headed and my face contorted.

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

The druid noticed this and patted me lightly on the head.

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

Gothos was quite distressed in the beginning, too. Whenever he received reports of the deaths of his friends, he would drink heavily and lash out at me and his mentor. But in the end, he always blamed himself. When none of the adventurers came back from a mission, he had a rough time of it. At that time, I hated myself for not being supportive."

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

I guess Mr. Gothos must have been the hardest to deal with, but I guess the druids were hard to deal with too.

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

Even now, they are talking calmly, but sometimes sadness and pain are on their faces.

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

I am sure they are remembering those days.

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

Today, when Mr. Rose was angry with Commander Tableau, for a brief moment.

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

I thought it was my imagination, but for a moment he looked like he was in pain or crying.

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

At the time, I thought I was looking at the wrong person, but that might have been Rose's hidden feelings overflowing outside for a moment.

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

How did Mr. Gothos calm down, or rather, what is Mr. Gothos now?"

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

I got through each one on my own, though we certainly helped a little," he said. I think meeting your wife was a big part of it.

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

Mr. Druid said a little, but I think Mr. Druid was a great support to Mr. Gothos.

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

She was so important to him that he was so happy about the change in Mr. Druid and even thanked me for my help.

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

When I was alone in the forest after my parents abandoned me, the fortune teller stood by my side without a word.

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

When I cried at my parents' words, he told me to live!　Look forward!　I am the former me who sincerely brought my voice to me.

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

Thanks to these women, I was able to move forward, even though it was painful for me.

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

Everyone has their own way of supporting others.

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

Commander Toubro and Ms. Pria support each other, don't they?

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

I got that impression from the atmosphere between the two of them today.

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

That's not good enough."

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

What?"　Oh, you're in a different position, Mr. Rose."

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

Yes, they are friends and comrades, but they cannot support each other emotionally.

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

That's a tough one.

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

Friends and comrades, but not a relationship of mutual emotional support?

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

I guess that means we each have to stand on our own feet. ...... maybe.

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

Hahaha, was that hard?"

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

Mr. Druid poked me between the eyes to see if I had a wrinkle between my eyebrows.

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

'Yes. Do you two have someone to support you?'

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

It seems that Commander Tableau has a Deputy Commander Pis. From the looks of things today, he's ready."

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

Prepared?"

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

He is prepared to continue to support the Commander. I'm sure his eyes will be fine."

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

Eyes?

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

I can't recall what kind of eyes you had, even though it was today.

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

If I get a chance to see him again, I'll see what kind of eyes he has.

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

It is possible that Mr. Pria just isn't here. I felt that he was unstable, different from Commander Toubroe.

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 didn't feel it at all, though.

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

'Well, we're travelers. There's not much we can do.

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

Yeah.

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

As long as they are not from this village, we cannot get involved in details.

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

But if I can help in any way, I will.

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

Okay, that's all I have to say about this. Oh, didn't you forget our promise to make rice balls with Mr. Rose?"

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

I'm going to go to ...... and see if I can find it.　I completely forgot."

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

The druid's words reminded me of a promise I made a while ago.

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

No good, I have been too relaxed since I started staying at the inn.

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

I feel like I've been forgetting a lot of things lately. ......

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

No, I'm sure it's all right. Compared to me, you're better."

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

I don't want to compete with you.

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

I don't know who is more forgetful.

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

Indeed."

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

I've got some rice ready, maybe tomorrow or something?

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

Is it too urgent?

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

Oh, no.

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

I haven't prepared the ingredients to mix in.

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

Shall we just prepare it and go to the store?

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

I'd like to have time to make the mixture.

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

I see. Then let's go ask Mr. Rose about his schedule after tomorrow.

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

Yes. I'd like to buy the ingredients for the garnish on the way home.

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

"Roger that."

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

Just as we are about to make our plans for tomorrow and get ready for bed, Ciel jumps between us.

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

What's up?"

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

What is it?

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

I think he is saying something.

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

Something Ciel wants to say?

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

Oh, are you hungry by any chance?"

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 see, it has been a little while since I hunted and filled my stomach before.

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

If that's the case, I think we should go to the forest in the morning tomorrow, and when Ciel comes back, we can go to Rose-san's store."

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

Ciel swayed happily at the druid's words.

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

'Yes, and while I'm waiting for Ciel, I can collect potions for Sola and the others. Ciel, is that okay?"

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

Good. If you decide so, let's go to bed today.

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

It will be cold again tomorrow, so we definitely shouldn't sleep poorly or anything.
