Deputy Commander Pisu, perhaps embarrassed by his excitement, quickly takes his seat.

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

He glanced at Ciel, but quickly looked away and left the room.

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

Commander Tableau sees this and smiles wryly.

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

After a while, Deputy Commander Pisu, who was as calm as the one we met at Rose's store, came to bring us tea.

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

'I beg your pardon.

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

The druid is a little surprised at the change in Deputy Commander Pisu.

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

Mr. Priagirmas is looking away, but seems to be suppressing his laughter as his shoulders are shaking slightly.

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

'Well, I talked to Guilmouth for a bit. I hear his memory is a little fuzzy.

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

Commander Tableau, perhaps having changed his mind, spoke to Mr. Druid.

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

The druid nodded in agreement and began to talk about what he had experienced today.

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

He said, "For now, please listen to the end of my story and then ask me your questions. Ivy and I may remember things differently along the way, but please don't let that bother you."

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

Tea was placed on the desk for the number of people, and I bowed to Deputy Commander Pisu.

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

He smiled at me and glanced at Ciel.

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

He seems to be quite concerned after all.

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

He looked at Ciel's pattern earlier and said he had seen it somewhere before, so it might remind him of Adandara.

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

'Today we went out into the woods. It's about half an hour from here."

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 it that close?

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

Mr. Druid, it was about an hour and a half away, okay?

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

Was it?

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

Mr. Druid tilts his head.

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

'Sorry, we'll talk about the location later. Well, I found a cave deep in the woods. The cave was inaccessible because the supposed entrance had collapsed, but there was a new entrance that had recently been built."

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

"The Cave."

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

Mr. Priagilmus responded to the cave.

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

He said the cave where the magic stone was being extracted collapsed, so he would be happy if a new place was discovered.

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

I think there was a magic stone ...... there or not ...... which was it?

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

Inside that cave, a giant serpent, which I believe is the guardian deity of this village, was lying.

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

What?"

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

Surprised expressions on the faces of the three.

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

You wouldn't expect them to talk about a guardian deity, indeed.

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

"But he was unconscious, and I was so worried that I tried to get close to him. ...... what is it?"

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

He feels strange but can't seem to remember.

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

Let's see, that time...

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

Something eerie gray ...... I'm pretty sure it was a magical gray thing that covered up Mr. Serpent.

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

Yes, it should have been something like that.

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

Sola, am I right?"

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

I think I got it, thank God.

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

I couldn't get close to him because of that magic, and Serpent started to suffer.

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

That's right. We couldn't do anything about it, could we? That's when Ciel used his magic to eliminate the magic in question."

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

As the two of us talked, matching memories, the three of us had deep wrinkles between our brows.

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

After the gray magic disappeared, Mr. Serpent returned to normal,...... like something happened before that."

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

As I tried to remember, Mr. Druid reminded me.

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

'It's Flem's magic stone. Flem made a new magic stone, and that's how the Serpent woke up."

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

Ah, yes.

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

That beautiful magic stone from Flem woke up Mr. Serpent, didn't it?

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

So, wait a minute. ...... yes?"

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

Commander Tableau suddenly stops talking and leaves the room.

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

I stare at the door to see what's wrong, but he returns in a few minutes.

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

In his hands are three sheets of paper.

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

They appear to be magic item papers.

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

Then he starts writing something on it and hands it to Mr. Priagirmas and Mr. Pisu, the deputy head of the group.

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

The two checked it and immediately wrote something on it and handed it to Commander Tableau.

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

'Um, may we continue our conversation?

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

'Mr. Druid, I'm afraid a little memory confusion has made you a little less alert.

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

Are you less vigilant?

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

Mr. Druid and I look at each other.

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

'So I'm going to make you a contract that what you hear here is not to be told to anyone else. Here is the contract. Please check it."

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

It seems that the paper that Commander Tableau brought was for signing a contract.

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

The druid is checking it.

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

I am given a piece of paper as well.

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

One, I will not say anything else about what both Druid and Ivy have told me.

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

One, I will not say anything else about the rare slime.

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

One, if I violate the above, I will fall a slave.

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

Also, compensation shall be paid at the other party's price.

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

Also, information that is important to the village must be used while concealing the source of the information.

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

Is this a better contract than ours?

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

Well, all three of us have already written our names down, so I guess it's okay.

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

Mr. Druid thanks me and writes his name in.

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

Next I wrote my name down as well.

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

'Thank you, Commander Tableau. I certainly didn't need to tell you about the magic stone in Flem."

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

Let's see, I'll keep talking. So, a magic circle appeared that surrounded Serpent in a large area. After that, I'm pretty sure I noticed that the rain turned to snow, so I rushed back to the village to talk about the magic circle. And that's correct, right?"

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

Mr. Druid asks me to agree.

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

I nod, because as far as I can recall, I have.

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

But I think I'm forgetting something, what was it?

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

I remember that my memory has changed since I came back to the village. I was in trouble when I realized that my memory was slipping in places, and Priagirmas helped me out."

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

When Mr. Druid finishes his story, there is silence.

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

The three people sitting in the chairs in front of us have grim expressions on their faces and are deep in thought.

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

The air is somewhat heavy.

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

The silence is so long that I become concerned and call out to him.

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

Mr. Priagirmas laughed and nodded at my voice.

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

Thank you, I'm fine. It just took me a while to get my head around it all.

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

Mr. Priagirmas drinks the tea, which has cooled down.

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

Then he took a small deep breath.

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

I have a question for you.

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

Here you go.

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

Mr. Priagilmus looks at the druid with a serious expression.

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

'Can you tell us the exact location of the cave?　Of course, since I am the discoverer of the cave, I will be paid 10% of the magic stone if it is found."

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

After all, it is only Mr. Guilmouth who unites adventurers, and I wonder if he is concerned about caves?

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

But still, what is 10% of a magic stone?

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

I'm sorry. From what Ivy just said, I can't get to the cave myself. My memory is not what it used to be."

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

Mr. Priagilmus looks disappointed.

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

Ivy or Ciel and the others might be able to tell us where it is."

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

I'm not so sure either.

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

So when you look at me with such expectant eyes, my gaze swims a bit.

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

Do you understand?"

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

'That said, I too am not sure of my current recollection. Ciel, can you lead us to the cave?"

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 am relieved to hear Ciel's cheerful voice.

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

It sounds like you can do it. I'm glad."

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

Ciel would definitely be able to reach the cave.

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

I looked at Mr. Priagirmas, and for some reason he was surprised to see me and Ciel looking at each other in turn.

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

'May I ask you a question too?'

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

Deputy Commander Pis raises his hand.

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

Mr. Druid nods.

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

'That slime called Ciel, sir. Is it really a slime?　I couldn't help but notice the pattern. I only saw it in a book, and I don't know the real thing, but it looks exactly like the pattern on an adandara."

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

Deputy Commander Pith, is that a question now?"

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

Commander Toubro's slightly stunned voice.

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

'I have an eye for the rare!

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

Even if you make such a declaration.

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

You see, both Commander Tableau and Priagirmas have their heads in the sand.

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

Mr. Druid is smiling bitterly.

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

Then he glanced at me.

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

Apparently, he left the decision of whether or not to say it up to me.

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

Hmmm...and Sola decided it was okay.

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

Ciel is not a slime, but an adandara."

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

"Nah, yah, d*mn it."

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

Yeah, Deputy Commander Pisu, you are too excited.

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

I'm sorry, I need to take a break. I'll make you some tea. In the meantime, Pisu, calm down. Whatever it is, calm down!"

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

As soon as Commander Tableau stood up, he tapped Deputy Commander Pis on the shoulder as hard as he could.

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

It hurts!"

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

Cool your head," he said. We can't talk if Pith is in that state."
