'I knew it must be substantial because they even put out a contract, but a slime with a magic stone? Is ...... really true?"

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

I'm sure it's true. I've actually seen slime produce magic stones.

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

I've actually seen slime produce magic stones.

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

So, if it's slime, does that mean it's being tamed?

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

What does it look like?

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

Her name is Ivy. She travels with a druid for protection. We met in the village of Hataka and solved a problem together. We have a strange connection and we are still traveling together. Ivy's personality is hard-working and sweet."

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

Ivy probably has a look that is generally considered cute.

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

But it's not just her looks, her personality is cute too.

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

She seems to have a little trouble being sweet to people, but that's cute too.

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

She's also cute in the way she tries her best in everything she does.

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

He's a "protector?　Is he still a kid?"

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

Yeah, he's nine now.

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

Ivy said her birthday was at the end of July, right?

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

It's August now.

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

Huh?

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

Don't tell me that the druid forgot Ivy's birthday, which is so dear to her heart?

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

Were you celebrating in a place you didn't know about?

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

Or did I mishear and it was the end of August?

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

I shake my head at Url's words.

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

'No, I'm a little fuzzy on whether Ivy is nine or ten years old. ......

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

'Nine or ten, it could go either way.

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

'Not good!　If she's 10, we're not celebrating. It's an important day to say, 'Thank you for being born.'"

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

I knew Ivy's birthday was at the end of July.

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

I guess that means the druids are forgetting, right?

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

Ginal, it's all well and good to be bothered, but aren't we getting off track?"

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

...... certainly doesn't need it now.

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

We'll find out when we meet the druid.

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

What was I talking about, again?

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

About Ivy, right?"

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

Ivy's face is a little bit of a mess.

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

Ivy," he said.

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

I'm sorry, Zinal," he said, "but you know what? I know you're a kid and you're less cautious than adults, but aren't you a little too trusting?"

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

I look at Ur and notice that he is looking at me with concern.

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

I'm sure it looks that way to you. I actually trust Ivy. Not just Ivy, but the druid.

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

It's rare that I trust someone so much.

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

It's hard to trust people when you're an investigator.

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

Ivy has saved me twice from being brainwashed.

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 was brainwashed in the village of Hataka, too. Ivy saved me from that.

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

The way she broke my brainwashing was a bit extreme, though.

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

But I really can't thank her enough.

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

The end of brainwashing in Hatakah Village is death.

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

Is that right?

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

Yes, that's right. And she said she just did what she could do without asking for anything in return. That's why I trust her. The druid has never once relied on me for help.

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

She knows I'm an investigator, but she doesn't seem bothered by that.

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

They don't fear me, they don't take advantage of me.

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

It's just like, 'I see.

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

I see." But still, I didn't know there was brainwashing in Hataka Village. I didn't know that."

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

I nodded my head at Ur's words.

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

I've passed the information on to my superiors, but you don't know about it?

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

''Yeah, I guess you could say it's the worst kind of brainwashing, since it's done with magic circles and the nucleus is damaged.

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

'Oh, that's right. Why wasn't that information passed along?"

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

You needed to alert them to the brainwashing, but you hid it from them?

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

That's kind of strange.

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

Ur. Is it possible that you have lost your memory about Hataka village?"

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

I don't think so. Yesterday, I tried to recall as much as I could in chronological order, and I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. I checked with my colleagues, and it was the same.

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

So, if that's the case, are you okay?

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

I heard about the village of Hataca that 'the church tried to take over the village and set traps for the leaders of both guilds, wounding them badly and steadily adding to their ranks while they were stuck there.' ......

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

You only gave them the broad strokes and not all the details.

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

Did something happen upstairs?

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

I'd better call my people later and check.

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

Do you think we'll need to check?"

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

I nodded, and Ur let out a sigh with a grim expression on his face.

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

I nodded, and Ulle let out a sigh with a grim look on his face. I'll leave this one up to Zinal. I don't know, maybe there's something wrong with me.

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

I don't know if I've lost my memory, but there's no way to know for sure if it's real or not.

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

And I don't know if the memories I recall are real.

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

Or brainwashing. ....... That's tricky."

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

I nodded at Ur's words.

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

It's very tricky.

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

If we knew how to do it, we could deal with it, but we don't have a grasp of the brainwashing methods in this village.

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

It is obviously different from Hataka village, but what is the difference?

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

Hopefully my colleagues will come up with some information.

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

By the way, there's one more thing that's been bothering me.

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

By "druid," do you mean the "Hidden Gem of All Towns?"

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

I knew it.

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

He hates it so much, but he's famous.

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

Correct.

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

I thought I'd heard that name before. Oh, yeah, that's him.

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

Urs tilts his head and looks at me, smiling happily.

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

'You know him?

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

'It's a table, but we've worked together before. He's got good instincts, he's relentless, and he works fast.'

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

By "front," you mean you've been involved with him as a regular adventurer.

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

I'd be surprised if the druid remembers.

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

I see. So the druid is your guardian. ...... You know what, is Ivy okay with this?　He's her guardian."

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

I gush at Ulu, who looks at me with concern.

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

"Pfft.

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

Don't laugh, because that druid, right?　I got chills when I saw him fighting.

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

Surely if you only knew the druid from the time of the all-town stash, you'd be worried.

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

He was a man who was also known as a cold-blooded man.

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

The druid now is so gentle ...... that you can't remember the old days, and no, don't go back to the old days as soon as you realize that Ivy might be harmed.

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

Besides, isn't he only nice to Ivy?

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

'I'm a good father to Ivy. Well, I guess I'd better see for myself."

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

I could explain it to you with my mouth, but you wouldn't believe me.

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

And she's still looking at me with a skeptical expression on her face.

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

I bet he'll be even more surprised than he was with the slime.

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

I'm looking forward to it.

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

I didn't ask him anything yesterday because of the brainwashing mess, but were you looking into drugs?"

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

I'm sure Ur and the others are looking into it, since both Guilmouths were looking into it.

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

'Of course.

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

'Well, good. So?"

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

The church in this village is definitely taking the lead in spreading the drugs that can be taken from Carrillo. We have received reports of a gradual increase in the number of addicts, not only in this village, but in neighboring villages as well.

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

Do you have any proof?"

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

'Two of our associates have been entering the church for several years. The documents they brought with them would be evidence, but we are dealing with the church. That probably won't be enough.

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

Documents, huh?

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

They'll probably make a fuss about it being a forgery and get away with it.

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

"That's right. Before I came here, I made inquiries at the Adventurers' Guild, and I heard a rumor that they had disposed of a large amount of carrillos.　I heard that the knights of King's Landing were involved.

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

"Oh, that rumor. Half true, half false.

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

"Hmm? Half true, half false?　Half true, half false.

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

I smile back at Ur, who looks at me with a curious expression.

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

It is true that a large number of carillo flowers were disposed of. However, it was not done by the knights of King's Landing, but by the tree demon that Ivy is taming. It was amazing. A whole field of carillo flowers turning into a withered form in a matter of seconds.

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

Hmm?　A tree monster?　Tree monster is that tree monster that attacks ...... people?"

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

Yes. That tree demon."

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

I look at Ur, and his brow is wrinkled.

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

I've never heard of a tree demon being able to tame a tree demon.

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

What is Ivy taming?

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

Three slimes and a slime-like creature. They're the children of tree monsters.

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

"Kids?　Children?

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

When Ivy gives us permission, she'll show us all of them.

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

Ur nodded in confusion.

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

I'll definitely stand by and watch when you show me everything," he said.

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

I'm glad to hear it, though. My friends at the church told me that all the new drugs are for King's Landing.

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

For King's Landing, huh?

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

If that much of it gets around, it's going to cause a lot of damage.

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

Really, I'm glad we were able to find them.

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

Thanks to Ciel for leading us to that place.

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

Ur. I told you about Ivy and the slime, so I'm sure you're aware of that, but I need you to protect them.

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

I knew it.

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

Ur's "perception blocking skill" should help Ivy and the others if things go wrong.
