We had left after breakfast and we had come to an untamed forest.

'Forenoir, can you come in?'

　He imagined a door and turned the key with his magic to the hidden key.
　A door appeared there, and inside appeared the stables.

　I was surprised as expected when I used it yesterday to try it out.
　It seems that they had designed many things to prevent the followers from getting stressed out, and they were equipped with food, sleep, exercise and even a massage room.
　Forenoir and the others stuttered at first, but once they realized that it was not a problem to go inside, they gradually began to relax.

　Only Forenoire was too reluctant to enter this stable.
　And this time, he still refused to go in this time as well.

''Well then, you'll have to come with me this time, but can you swear that you won't move without permission?''
　Forenoire nodded.

'He's a smart horse,'
Maybe it's a variant of Battlefield.
　Lionel was impressed, and in the blink of an eye as Ketty said this, Forenoir raised his paw leg towards Ketty.
'Calm down, Forenoire. Ketty, apologize to Forenoire for treating her like a demon.
　He is indeed impatient.
　Forenoire doesn't like being treated like a demon.
　Normal horses don't react this way.
　But Forenoire hates it unusually.

''I didn't mean any harm. I hope you'll forgive me.
Brrrrrrrr.
　I can't blame Ketty for bowing out! He seemed to forgive me for saying that.
　I decided to report it in advance, as there might be more of the same in the future.

'Some of you may be unhappy that I'm taking Forenoir with me, but she's quite good at spotting. That has been proven when it comes to Yenis. I'm sure she won't get in the way, so you can rest assured that she won't get in the way.
"Yes.
　No objection was raised, but I felt that it just didn't come out of my mouth.
　I won the trust of Forenoir, so I whispered to him and entered the forest.


　The members who came to the uncivilized forest were the same as the last time, and the lineup included Hanir-dono of the Hatch tribe.
　I was quite unsure about bringing Milfine and the other elves along, but Keti was very keen on it and allowed Lionel to accompany us as he was responsible for them.


　First of all, they headed to the Hatch tribe's settlement under the guidance of Hanir-dono.

''Then I will report back to you, please wait for a while.
　I watched Lord Hanir and his followers fly off to the nest above and called out to Milfine and the others.
'I'll guide you through the forest ... Lacy, was it? You're not going to show up this time? And the spirit's voice?

We haven't heard from Lacy or the genie yet this time.
　Lisian answers on behalf of the group.
　She and Cressia insisted that they didn't want to be disenslaved and offered to keep an eye on Milfine and the fairies and spirits this time.
　I told them to do what they wanted about it.

'All right. Let me know if you need anything.

　This time the formation is divided into three groups.
　Me, Lionel, Keti, Lord Hanir, and Doran and Milfine's transplant unit.
　Paula, Lycian, and Yalvo's troop of scavengers.
　Kefin's squad and Crecia's search party.

　To be honest, I had the magic stone in mind, but I decided to go back to the beginning and act with my life in mind.
　If you do anything in a hurry, you will fail to make things happen.
　There is even a saying, so I decided to take each thing in turn.

Sage, permission has been granted. Once we have selected the trees for today's transplantation, we will move thirty or forty people from this village, it's okay, right?
　Lord Hanir was happy to report back to me, but he hadn't mentioned the number of people, so it was an after-the-fact report.

''As for the number of people, it's fine, but it's not as safe as I told you beforehand, is it?
''Yes. I hope you will agree to build a nest in the basement of the Healer's Guild there.

　That was the intention from the beginning, and I thought I told him so, but if I said no, where was he going to build his nest?
It's not a problem as long as it doesn't hurt our profits. The increase in numbers is part of our schedule, so you can move on without worrying about it. Just make sure you let them know that the environment is not conducive to frequent travel home.

　We need to create an environment where we can ensure safety, but we haven't decided how to develop that.
　Hopefully, we will ask all the hatchlings to move on.
　But I know that's not possible.
　It is only the relatively young generation that makes its way from this forest to Yenis.
　Many of them have lived in this forest since birth, and many of them want to make a living here.
　Feeling responsible for taking the younger generation with us, and determined to make it work, we get back into action.

　The Hatches choose the trees, Milfine talks to the trees, Dolan digs the dirt, and I collect them in my magic bag.

　When Forenoire reacted, the Kefin squad moved in, and either Keti or Lionel accompanied them.

　And Forenoire's search capabilities were proven and recognized by everyone as excellent.

　Other than that, there were no other events in particular, and we felt like we were shrugged off, but we successfully finished up to the purpose of this time, which was to collect fruit trees and flowers.
'All right, then, Hatchites, I know it's a small space, but you'll have to ride in the carriage.

　The Hatches were given a ride in a carriage and we left for the city of Yenis.

　We made a deal about the production and trading of goods, so there was nothing wrong with me bringing the Hatchis with me.
　It's just that the sweet nectar attracts all sorts of bugs, only honey.
　A voice rises from the side as such a dad gag goes past my head.

'It's not yet dusk this time, so I can't feel the stares.
I hope this continues for a long time.
So what are you going to do tomorrow?

''Starting tomorrow, we're going to dive into the labyrinth to secure the demon stone. We're planning to spend half a day in the labyrinth, but there may be fewer demons due to the fact that we've trudged through the labyrinth, so we'll stay in again then.
Good. Then I'll have to tell Nahlia to remember to prepare a meal.
This time we have a map, and Luciel-sama should try to fight if he can.
Well, if you get a chance.

　They talked about such things on the road to Yenis.

　I remembered something about the water spirits that no one had ever mentioned.
　He remembered that the last time he had come to the Uncharted Forest, he had said that he couldn't have originally come.

　He figured that the lack of contact this time wasn't so easy to see, but in the end, he arrived in Yenis with no answers.

　The entire carriage had been moved to the basement floor.
　The Hatch tribe will not be discovered immediately.
"Thank you, Hutch. We're on the first level of the basement, but we're moving to the third level.
　The Hatches were surprised to find the sky suddenly empty underground, and some of them must have been tricked. Some people even suspected that it was a good idea.
'Everyone's stuff, you'd be surprised if you could get to three levels underground.
　Thanks to what Lord Hanir said, he managed to follow the guidance.

'This will be your workplace and living quarters.
　I told him as I visited the third basement floor.
　I looked at each one of them, but they were in a state of abandonment.
　If there was a pseudo-sun in the basement and a field, would this normally happen?

We are going to transplant fruit trees and sow seeds systematically in the fields so that we can create a safe environment for everyone to work in together.
　Imagining that we are going to transplant fruit trees, the Hatchites united in the thought that we could have our own oasis.
　And I, still called Sage-sama, opened my mouth in unison with my voice.
''Sage-sama, please take care of the Hatch tribe.
'Yes. Let's go for it.
　In a harmonious mood, the transplanting began here.

　Dolan transplanted the trees and Milfine cast spirit magic on the trees to maintain their condition.
　The entire forest soil had been put into the magic bag with more of it, so when the transplanting of the trees was finished smoothly, Dolan went back to his workshop.

''.........Dolan has done so much work, but that many magic stones won't motivate him.
　He gave Dolan seventy percent of the magic stones he had obtained from defeating demons in the uncivilized forest today, but he didn't think Dolan would be satisfied with the magic stones that didn't reach three figures.
''Grandfather doesn't say a word when he's in a good mood and heads to the workshop.
　It was Paula who responded to my muttering, but this one seemed unhappy.

'There's too much exaggeration in what Paula and Lisian want to develop. Think of something that would be useful to everyone first.'
Of course.
　Lisian appeared suddenly behind me and he and Paula headed for Paula's workshop.

'Those two are going to be good friends,'

　As I looked at the rejoicing Hatch tribe, I hoped to secure the magic stones that I would need in the future in tomorrow's labyrinth.


　I headed to the Labyrinth of the Lost Heart, where the next day's flame dragon was, and here I would come into contact with the shadow of the Evil God for the first time.
