I knew you were a druid. It's been a long time."

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

Eh?

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

The leader of the group and your father know each other?

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

I looked at my father in wonder, and he was staring at the Commander with a mysterious expression on his face.

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

He looked at me with a mysterious expression.　Don't you recognize me?　Long time ago--"

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

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

I can't help but straighten up at the sound of my father's low voice, which I don't hear very often.

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

Shall we leave this village now?

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

Wait, wait. You're reacting badly to me after all these years, aren't you?"

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

The leader of the group rushed to his father.

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

The sharpness that he had just shown was completely lost on me.

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

The sharpness he showed earlier is completely gone.

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

He sighs, "Huh~"

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

Why do you sigh? We are fellow students under the same master, aren't we?"

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

'Eh!　Are you the master's disciple?"

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

A disciple of that master?

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

Come to think of it, I think he said he trained several adventurers. ......

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

I'm sure he did. Nice to meet you."

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

I'm Ivy. I'm Ivy.

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

Good girl."

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

When the leader of the group quickly extends his hand toward me, my father knocks it away with a snap.

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

Don't touch Ivy.

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

I told you you're being awful to me!"

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

He pats me on the head.

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

It's been a long time. I'm glad to see you're doing well. See you.

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

You're as cold as ever. If you leave like this, I'll chase you around like I used to.

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

At the Commander's words, the father with a tired expression let out a sigh.

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

I didn't know you were the leader of this village."

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

The father, who was ready to talk, grinned at him with a look of satisfaction on his face.

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

'Oh, for various reasons, I took this position from the previous Commander a few years ago.

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

Took it from him?

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

What's going on?"

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

'Who needs a bought-off head?

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

Oh, you mean Guilmouth wasn't the only one.

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

The previous Mr. Guilmouth was bought off by the church.

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

You mean that the head of the neighborhood watch was the same?

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

Yes, yes. The same time Guilmouth and the head of the Neighborhood Watch were replaced. By the way, Guilmouth is Beith. Remember him?

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

Oh, that's him?

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

Yes, yes. I didn't think it was really a druid when I saw his name. I thought druids never leave that town, but the ...... atmosphere has changed, and people do change, don't they?

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

Well, a lot has happened. But still, it feels strange to have Porion as Commander."

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

The father looks at Commander Porion and smiles bitterly.

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

I guess so. I feel uncomfortable too.

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

What about it?

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

'Um~ is Mr. Druid's master the same master as the Commander's?

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

Vice Commander Leah looks alternately at her father and Commander Pollion.

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

He was a fellow student of mine for about five years under a master named Mons.

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

Commander Porion nodded at his father's words.

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

He nodded at his father's words.　The Commander was 45 or 46, wasn't he? Is Mr. Druid in his late thirties or so?"

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

He is ......33 years old.

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

Ah, your father looks a little sad.

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

He's concerned about it.

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

But, he is certainly older than me.

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

I've heard that they have apprentices who are close in age so that there is no difference in terms of physical strength.

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

I'm sorry. He was so dignified. Um, aren't they a year apart?"

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

I smile bitterly at Vice Captain Lear's words.

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

You can't tell me that I look old, indeed.

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

'Me and Beith had a period of slavery. After my prison term, I apprenticed under a master."

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

Slave?"

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

Commander Porion cowered his shoulders at my words.

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

I did something stupid and fell into criminal slavery a long time ago," he said. I was only there for a short period of eight years for a reason.

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

Was that so?

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

'What, those rumors were true?'

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

I guess you didn't know that, since you were surprised by Vice Captain Lear.

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

'It was Maruaru who caught Polion.

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

Maruaru-san was a former teammate of the master, wasn't he?

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

'Polion and Beith robbed Maruaru, a seemingly ordinary merchant, and got him back, didn't they?

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

Yes, that's right. That was a brilliant blow that time. Well, that encounter made me an apprentice.

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

I was with Mr. Beers, who was playing Mr. Gilmouth.

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

'And you came all the way here because you were curious about the name?

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

At his father's slightly stunned expression, Commander Pollion shook his head.

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

'No, I wanted to thank you. No, I wanted to thank you because it will make it easier for us to defeat Forgan from now on.

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

Both my father and I nod our heads at Commander Porion's words.

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

'Didn't the druid wonder about that too?　Did the druids ever wonder why so many fire arrows were used to kill the Folgans?

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

'Oh, I never understood why they insisted on fire arrows.

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

"Commander, it's time for us to sit down and talk. "Oh, I didn't understand why you were so obsessed with fire arrows," he said.　Are you going to stand there and talk forever?

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

Come to think of it, you were talking to each other at the entrance of the mess hall.

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

Both Commander Pollion and his father smiled bitterly at Vice Commander Leah's words.

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

I'm sorry. Can you order some tea?"

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

''It's already prepared.''

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

Vice Commander Leah looked stunned at Commander Pollion's words.

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

Once in the kitchen, he came out with a plate in his hand.

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

'Ivy, please have some snacks. This is a new snack that was recently created in this village. Try some if you like."

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

I sat down at the table recommended by Vice Captain Leah, and my father sat down next to me.

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

The tea was placed in front of him and he thanked the father in a small way.

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

He seems to have calmed down a bit.

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

'So why are you so fixated on the fire arrows?

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

''Because while a high-ranked adventurer's attack with quite a bit of magical power will work, a low-ranked or medium-ranked adventurer's attack will be ineffective except for fire arrows.

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

"What?　It doesn't work?

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

Yeah, I've tried everything, but anything but fire arrows are blocked by the sphere's warding.

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

It didn't look like such a great ward to me.

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

Warding?

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

I don't know, but it seems like it would be tough to beat Forgan.

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

'It looks that way to me. Neither fire bullets nor water bullets made by mid-level adventurers with magic could break that ward. Only the attacks of the higher adventurers were able to break them. Moreover, it was necessary to put a lot of magic power into each one. Only the fire arrows, however, were able to damage that sphere's boundary without much magic power.

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

It's strange. What was the cause?

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

"Unknown. The reason for this is unknown. If we could figure it out, it would be a lot easier to defeat it.

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

It's quite a troublesome demon.

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

The vigilantes and the adventurers were also very concerned about the situation. The vigilantes and adventurers were prepared for it.

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

Preparedness?　There was an adventurer who escaped from .......

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

I've heard about that. I'm sure Guilmouth is giving him a good dressing down right now.

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

"I see. I'm sorry to hear that.

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

Sorry?

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

"So, I'm all prepared, and I'm having a conversation with Guillmas, and one of the vigilantes jumps into the jam and yells, 'I've been cut! ' and he yells, 'I'm cut! I thought he was out of his mind. Well, when I calmed him down and asked him about the details, he said that an adventurer he had never seen before was cutting off Forgan's attack. And there were no reports of higher adventurers coming in. When I sent him to check on him, he said he didn't seem to have put any magic into the attack, and all hell broke loose.

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

I said, "Oh, I'm sorry about that. I'm not an adventurer anymore.

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

"I guess you're right."

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

Commander Pollion glanced at his father's arm and looked forlorn for a moment.

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

'I wondered why he attacked me like that, but I guess he didn't know about Forgan.

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

'Oh, I also learned about the warding on the spheres that Forgan creates with water magic, when I actually saw them.

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

I didn't know about Forgan. I'm sorry I didn't explain it better. I'm sorry, but it seems to have helped this time.

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

Commander Pollion bowed his head, but I don't think it could be helped.

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

I'm sorry," he said. It was me who didn't explain well at the gate, wasn't it?"

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

Vice Captain Lear bows his head.

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

'No, no, it's not Vice Captain Leah's fault. He didn't enter this village as an adventurer when he entered, so it can't be helped."

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

Yes, if I had entered this village as an adventurer, I would have been given a good explanation.

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

In case we were to join in the defeat.

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

But your father and I both entered the village as mere travelers.

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

In that case, it would not be explained to us in detail unless we asked.

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

'More importantly, have you found out what made my sword work?
