"... Huh!?


    It was Aina who raised her voice of surprise to discover its appearance.


    Apparently, he didn''t realize.


    Eyes open to surprise, soma shrugs her shoulders to such aina.


    "Hmm... Lina told me before, but surely Aina doesn''t seem to have enough observation and vignce around her."


    "Instead, why did you notice... Huh? Could it be that I''m the only one who didn''t realize...?


    "No, I didn''t notice either."


    "... Me too"


    "I''m not the only one...!


    "No, no, even if it''s not just Aina, it doesn''t make a difference that Aina''s observation and vignce aren''t enough...?


    And so on, while we were exchanging such nonsense, a ck robe figure came this way.


    Don''t get me wrong about that look...... well, it''s not possible that the contents are someone else because you''re just wearing a ck robe, but you wouldn''t normally think about it.


    Besides,st time I thought it was because Soma and the others were there and the surroundings were even noisier, but this time there were very few people, obviously the person didn''t attract attention from the surroundings.


    I''m pretty sure She has some kind of secret in her robe, or something the person is doing.


    I don''t think someone who can do that would bother to rece the contents.


    Considering you''re the same person asst time, there''s got to be no mistake.


    And I don''t know what you''vee close for, or even have to think about it.


    "Well, so I suppose you brought me a hint this time, don''t you agree?


    "Hmm... it helps to talk fast, but it''s not worth the surprise. And this one seems to be obvious, and I''m scared."


    With that said, there are even signs that I have said it sounds interesting to the voice.


    I shrugged my shoulders thinking how genuine they were.


    "That means... you''re here to teach me something useful about this?


    "Ruri. You need it, right?


    "... I do need it, but isn''t it a little too timing? Or how did you get here? We came all the way here in a carriage...?


    Aina had a clear alert for the person, but, well, that would be true.


    There is no reason not to be alert in this situation.


    That was too convenient.


    "What, because you''re only getting older in vain. With this level of bending, we can handle it."


    Nobody''s going to believe that, but it''s also true that we don''t really have a clue.


    All that''s left is the difference between where and from whom and how much suspicious information you get.


    There is no greater difference there than no one here knows each other, unless it is also from the guild.


    And then listening to someone you might know at all wasn''t a bad story.


    Even if it was obviously more suspicious than the others.


    "So, can I talk to Non?


    "... listen"


    "It''s superimposed"


    That said, the man who showed signs of fright told me that it was not a stand-alone object.


    Instead, it''s like a key, and it''s what you use that makes sense.


    "Keys, hey... well if you ask me, I don''t have to look like that...?


    "… so where are the key things, and where are they? Well, I can imagine somehow."


    "... n, what happened to this was the ruins.... then."


    "Goddamn it, no, it''s really fast talking. Well, that''s the thing."


    "... ha. I mean, you need to travel again. I''m on a journey, so naturally, I guess, but I''ve been traveling a lottely."


    "Well, we have no choice around there, so we give up. And somehow, this is going to end in a paragraph?


    "Um, let''s guarantee that. I don''t know if what you''re waiting for is what you want."


    That''s how the person taught the ce and how to get there, and he just turned his heel back and left.


    As soon as I remember, the ambient stiffness returns.


    "Hmm... well, for now, I guess we should consider that the next purpose has been decided"


    "Isn''t that a little too forward-looking?


    "But it''s true.... by the way, brother."


    "Yeah? What is it?


    "No, I felt a little low on the mouth earlier, so I thought something had happened"


    "... Speaking of which, you haven''t spoken much since the beginning, have you?


    "No, what? I just had a little thought, and I don''t need to worry about it."


    When I said that and shrugged my shoulders, the two seemed convinced once and for all, although I pointed my surprise gaze at them.


    Only one person, She, has been staring at this one jizzily, but Soma smiles back at it bitterly.


    Really, it''s not like I care.


    At least, now.


    "Nevertheless, I think we should leave immediately, and after this celebration, we should take a night off and leave tomorrow morning."


    "Celebration? Even though they haven''t got the treasure this time?


    "Sure, as adventurers, it may be a failure, but as seniors, it''s a step forward."


    "... yeah, sure"


    "Well, if you say so, so is that..."


    "In the meantime, then, I''m asking for a lot of things. Excuse me, it is!


    After eating a little early, the Somas went to bed a little early.


    I simply had nothing to do with it, probably because of the tiredness I couldn''t take away in the carriage or because of the search for the ruins.


    Sleep well, early morning at dawn.


    Soma and the others followed the city that had just moved out, rocked by the carriage again.


    "Hmm... I think it''s time to get used toing to the ruins."


    "Sure. I think I was thinking a little bit more in the beginning, but this time I feel like I''m finally here."


    "Well, if this is all about travel and exploration, I think it''s natural."


    "... um, I''ve never been so repetitive, either"


    And five dayster, Soma and the others stood before it.


    This time, he''s not out of Baron Yodle''s territory.


    It just seems like a long way off ce.


    It is a guess at a time when the nearby city was roughly the same size as Yardster.


    Most of all regarding the guild, Yardster is better...... no, evenparing it feels like being rude to Doris.


    Though there was a proxy for once, he felt very unmotivated.


    I even thought it would be okay when something happened... but it''s not something the Somas worry about around here.


    Anyway, it was like that, so I couldn''t even gather enough information toe here.


    "Just still... this is my first type again"


    "Well when I said that, I''d never seen it all before... but it''s certainly totally different from the two previous ones. I mean, did nobody really notice this? Though there are boundaries, it''s something someone might notice."


    "... n, rather, this is why?... maybe if I didn''t know there was a ruin here, I wouldn''t even try to get close to it in the first ce"


    "Oh, it''s definitely a little creepy, and you might not really like it and want to get close,"


    "Still, if you''re an adventurer, I think there might be people trying to get close to you... but is it because this ce is off, and because of the action of the junction, never noticed?"


    It was a forest, if I may say so in the end.


    The trees are even more lush than the Demon Forest, and I even feel that this one deserves the name Demon Forest.


    But at the same time, it was a ruin.


    Try to assimte it to the forest... No, or it existed there, assimting the facts.


    "I can''t even look at the scale of this... well, what ancient ruins are like"


    "...... hmm. … some of them lookpletely different from the inside"


    "Exactly. Now you won''t have that, sopared to that, it''s better...... is it?


    "Well, in the meantime, I''m just gonna go."


    "Hmm. It doesn''t seem like you can tell from what you''ve been looking at, so go."


    Three people snorted at Soma''s words.


    So the four men set foot in the ruins.
