When we showed up, the phoenix tribe was on high alert.
　We tried to get them to listen to us, but they weren't in the mood for that.......
　I can't find a solution at all.

　It's better to ask for assistance from Sigle again than to persist here.
　We came to such a decision and returned to the internet internet search engine room tribe's village.

The whole thing is a bit of a mess.

　Seeing us returning exhausted, Sigle-san chuckled.

''It's insufferable.......we were warned beforehand and yet this is how it turned out.
I don't blame them. The phoenix tribe is completely hostile to humans. They are treated like demons. How can you be safe?
'At first there was a girl who came out on her own and if we had all been attacked out of nowhere, it would have been a close call.
Well, the girl... what was she like?
'Well she has red hair. Is she about the same age as Kanade?　Also, he had a distinctive collar.
Oh, yes. That's probably Finia's little girl, isn't it? I'm sure that's part of the reason why she was saved. If it was another phoenix tribe, they would have been burned with even more powerful firepower.
Do you know him?
'She's a good friend of Sakura's. I know him well.

　After all this time, what's the relationship between the Netherworld tribe and the phoenix tribe?

　I was in such a hurry that I went straight to the phoenix tribe, but....
　It's possible to find a way to make use of the gasoline in addition to gasoline.
　What's more, what's more, it's possible to find some kind of breakthrough in the search engines.

What's the reason why one's favorite internet search engine is usually the same as the next.

　What I wanted to ask, Chiffon asked for me.

It's not a bad thing, in fact, it's a good thing.
Then....
Could you be the go-between?　That's what I'm talking about. I'm sorry, but I can't have that guy.

　Anticipating Chiffon's words, Sigle-san shook her head.

''I know what's going on with Rain and the others. I'd like to cooperate with them as well. In addition to the fact that it's not easy to find what you need to find in addition to find what you need to find.
'Nya you're just trying to mediate between us and get us to listen to each other, but what are the chances of that happening?
The phoenixes don't hate humans, they see them as the enemy. If I were to use an analogy..... Suppose a human suddenly came to the Cat Spirit Clan's daughter. What would you do if the human had a demon with him and told you that he was a good guy and that you had to listen to him?
"....is extremely alarming.
So that's what it means. To the phoenix tribe, humans are just like demons.

　According to the story, the phoenix tribe was treated badly by people, just like the Heavenly Clan.
　If that was the case, it was a story that I would have to agree with.

　Nevertheless, there was no option to give up here.
　No matter how unlikely it is.
　No matter how little hope there is.
　You have to do everything in your power to save Iris.

'And on top of that, please. Please, could you ask me to act as an intermediary?

　I say with my head down.

　A troubled voice falls from above.

'Oh dear you don't hesitate to say that after what you just said.
Yes, sir.
''Did you conclude that it might cause trouble for us, the entire呀 wolf tribe, as well?
I will do my best to intercede in that case.
I think what Rain says is a child's ideal of wanting this and that, and I think it's a juvenile story.
'I think I know the reality. I understand that it's a bluish idealism. But that doesn't mean I want to give up on it.
"You think you can be a stickler for ideals?
I can't do it by myself. But I've got people I can count on.
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
With you guys, you can do anything. We can achieve the impossible. That's what I believe.
....

　Sigle-san stared at me.

　Her eyes are calm, but the pressure in them is strong.
　If I were to look away, I might be tempted to look away.

　But I would never do that.
　In order to convey our intentions, and to have them recognized.
　I stare back at him.

"...Huh...

　Soon after, Sigle-san let out a breath.
　It was as if he was smiling bitterly.

It's a good thing you're so stubborn. It's been a long time since I've met someone like Rain.
Well...?
'I can't decide whether or not to be an intermediary, yet. It's not a decision I can make on my own, you know. But I promise you that we will discuss it together.
Really?
One of the most important things in life is to find internet search engines. What's more, the whole gang is very weak against an upright person like you.
Thank you!
And you also have a connection with him.

　What exactly is a connection?
　But before he could ask that question, Sigle got up from his seat.

'Well we need to hold an urgent meeting. Sakura, call everyone together and gather them in the square.
On!
'We're going to have to go straight to the meeting, so Rain and the others can rest here. You must be tired from the forced march.
'Well ... yes. Well then, I'll take you up on your offer.

　Me, Kanade and Chiffon could still see room for me, Kanade and Chiffon...
　But the younger group of Nina and Rifa were a bit depressed.
　Let's take a break here, as they said.



----------



　The noise in the square grew louder and the gathering began.
　And how much time had passed?
　I think it's been three hours, but there's still no sign of it being over.

　I head out of the tent.

'What's going on, Lane?'
I'm just checking on him.
I think you should take a break too, Lane...
'I'm fine. I'm not pushing myself, and I'm taking good care of myself.

　I shook off Chiffon's gaze and went outside the tent.
　Then, not long after, I saw Sigle-san.
　He was alone, and there was no one else in the room.

'Oh?　What's going on?
'Well I'm just wondering what's going on, a bit of a look at what's going on...'
Yeah, I see. I'm sorry to keep you waiting. It's been more difficult than I thought it would be but it's time for a break. I'm sorry to take up your time, but you'll have to wait a little longer.
Yes, I understand.

　As it is, Sigle and I somehow get a breeze.
　The wind on the northern continent is refreshing and comfortable.

''........''
....

　There was a moment of silence and then...

Is there something you want to ask me?

　As if he could see through my mind, Sigle-san says something like that.

'How did you know?　Could it be........
It's not like the wolf tribe has any special powers or anything. It's just that Rain is easy to find.
Ugh....

　Am I that easy to understand...?
　I'm starting to get a little curious about this because it's something that a lot of people say to me.

'Um ... why are you being so good to us?'
Well let's just say it's a fate.
