'Mr. Druid, I think it's just a normal town.

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

I'm looking around the main street of Hata Tata village, but I don't see any unusual buildings.

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

I was asked to look at the main street and remember it, but to be honest, it is not distinctive.

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

No, I would say that the bright red window frames of the buildings are distinctive.

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

Also, the doors are all brightly colored blue.

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

There is no other .......

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

It's a building you can see in any village.

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

It's just normal."

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 at Mr. Druid, stunned by so many answers.

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

'If you remember, let's go to Hatada village.

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

I don't know what to do, I don't know what Mr. Druid is looking for.

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

At any rate, I've memorized the buildings and such roughly, so it's not a problem.

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

I have no idea what he wants.

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

I guess I'll find out when I get to Hatada village.

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

We had a light meal in Hatata village and walked down the main street toward the gate to go to Hatada village.

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

All the while, there were constant rumors of voices echoing in the forest.

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

I must ask Mr. Serpent to stop that high-pitched voice for the time being. I can communicate with him enough by using my throat to purr."

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

And the way he made the "kukukku" sound was cute, too.

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

I mean, in the beginning, he would throttle me, but lately I haven't heard it.

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

I've been communicating in other ways for the past few days.

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

I don't think you need to worry so much. I think it's just a sound he makes on special occasions.

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

Perhaps, but I think it's the way they sound to alert their distant companions to their whereabouts or to warn them of danger. In this forest, where there are no demons equal to or greater than the Serpent, you don't hear it that often.

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

I see, that's why the sound was so high-pitched, to communicate to distant friends.

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

It's true that with the throaty cry I heard before, you would never be able to hear it far away.

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

'Well, don't worry about it, it will settle down soon.

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

Look at the villagers around you.

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

Some of them are a little pale. ......

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

In my mind, but I'll apologize, 'I'm sorry.

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

'Huh?　Are you leaving already?"

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

When I returned the permit, the gatekeeper gave me a strange look.

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

That's right, we've been in Hata Village for probably about an hour.

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

Since I want to go to Hatada village."

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

Oh, so."

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

What, that's all you need to convince me?

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

When I looked at the gatekeeper's face, he looked happy.

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

It seems there is something going on after all.

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

I'll have to remember what I just saw in Hatata village.

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

Thank you for your hospitality."

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

Please take your time this time. Also, be careful, the owner of the voice is still unknown."

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

Yes, sir. Thank you."

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

I thank him and start to walk in the direction of the dumping ground, but stop.

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

There are signs of people here and there in the forest.

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

What should I do?

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

What's wrong?　Could it be that there are signs of people here and there in the woods?"

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

Yeah. Is this to find the cause of the chirping I heard earlier?"

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

No doubt about it. If they're making more rounds, going to the dump would be a waste of time."

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

I don't think Mr. Serpent will be there.

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

Then let's go toward the village road."

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

Change the plan to go to the dump site to the village road.

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

Once on the village road, I looked around for signs of activity and found that teams of about five people seemed to be working in groups to make their rounds.

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

There are two teams near where we are.

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

Druid, there's a sign of someone a little further ahead.

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

I understand. Just keep walking down the village road toward Hatada village. There's nothing we can do about it."

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

It's true, we can't even tell them what that sound is.

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

If we told them, it would cause more confusion.

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

Thanks for your help."

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

As I was walking along the village road toward Hatada village, I saw some people whom I had felt a presence earlier.

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

From the way they were dressed, they appeared to be members of the Hatata village vigilante group.

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

"Are you going to Hatada now?"

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

We still don't know what that sound is, so please be careful.

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

Thank you."

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

As soon as Mr. Druid thanked me, I bowed my head in a small way.

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

I let out a small sigh as I see the vigilante people off.

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

'Nervous?'

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

Just a little."

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

'Cause if I explained the cause, there would be more havoc.

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

That's what I thought."

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

I laugh when Mr. Druid and I make eye contact.

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

We walk for a while and the signs of people move away.

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

I thought I was safe now, and was about to enter the forest to look for Mr. Serpent when his face came directly in front of me from above without a sound.

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

I was so surprised~!"

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

As I hold my heart area, Mr. Serpent squints his eyes and seems to be enjoying himself.

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

Next to him, Mr. Druid was also taking a deep breath.

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

It seems I wasn't the only one who was surprised.

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

Didn't you find it?"

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

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

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

'I don't care if it's a ...... throaty purr. It was cute."

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

My body falls to the ground with a thud at my words.

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

I had been wrapping my body around the trees.

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

Kukk."

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

Yeah, it's cute.

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

And this makes it easier for the druid to understand.

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

Oh, I forgot about Thora and the others.

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

They'll complain.

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

A little impatiently, I open the lid of the bag.

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

As usual, ...... doesn't pop out.

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

I looked inside and saw that all four of them were sleeping.

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

Sleeping.

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

Both Sola and Ciel are probably tired from earlier. Flem and Sol are, well, as usual.

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

It's true that Sola and Ciel played around quite a bit in the morning.

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

After running around for such a long time and for such a long distance, they must be tired.

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

Flem and Sol were the same as usual.

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

Shall we go to Hatada?

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

My body lifts up at the druid's words, as if it were a matter of course.

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

I was somewhat expecting this to happen, so I was not surprised.

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

As I was lifted onto Serpent's back, the druid was being carried right behind me.

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

Thank you, Mr. Serpent. Please take me to Hatada Village."

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

Kukukk."

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

The movement begins as if sliding on the dirt.

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

After a while, the speed increases rapidly.

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

At this rate, we will reach the village of Hatada by the end of the day.

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

"Kukkukk."

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

It looks like we're getting there.

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

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

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

We really arrived.

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

Searching for a sign, I find a sign of people a short distance away.

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

Perhaps it is the presence of the gatekeepers.

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

Thank you."

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

Kukkukk.

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

What are you going to do now?　Will you still be here tomorrow?"

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

Mr. Serpent shakes his head once sideways at the druid's question.

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

Apparently, they won't be there tomorrow.

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

Thank you, you've been very helpful."

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

Kukk."

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

Mr. Serpent, who mewed shortly, brought his face closer to mine.

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

When I slowly stroked the tip of his nose, his eyes narrowed and he looked happy.

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

I'll see you again. Thank you so much.

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

I see Serpent off as he heads back toward the village of Hatta.

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

I'm kind of sad.

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

He's gone.

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

Yeah, I'll see you around.

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

Before walking to Hatada village, I do some light flexibility exercises to take the fatigue out of my legs.

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

I sat down, but my legs were tired from being in the same position.

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

Okay, calisthenics complete!

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

Let's go to Hatada village.

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

I'm afraid I'll forget the scenery I saw in Hatata Village if I don't hurry.

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

Besides, I'm excited to see what's there.

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

I asked the druid several times before coming here, but he didn't tell me anything at all.

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

I have reached the gate of Hatada village, but I feel a little strange.

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

What's wrong?"

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

No, it's nothing."

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

I wonder, what is it that makes me feel uncomfortable?

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

I look at the gate.

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

It is a gate like any other, so there is nothing special about it.

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

After the formalities were completed and I received my permit, I stepped into Hatada village.
