"Loriente is one of Libert's largest agricultural and forestry producers...... Especially from early spring to midsummer, the scenery is at its best, and many tourists choose to visit here every year to experience the local food and customs. On the airship, Sherazade told the people who were seated in their seats with their seatbelts fastened because they were about to land, and told them about her second home, where she had almost grown up, and her words were full of nostalgia for her hometown.

"It's a shame I didn't come last time...... If it's just a turnaround this time, I'm afraid I won't have time to stay here for long. Heliga was a little regretful, he still liked this kind of natural treasure with good mountains and rivers, and good scenery, "Estelle, next time I have time to be a guest, you must treat me well." ”

"Hmm...... Eh, wait......" Estelle looked out the window, but the more she looked, the more puzzled she became, "Why is there such a fog outside?" ”

"According to the broadcast, we should have gone down below the clouds long ago...... So it can't be still in the clouds. Shelazard shook her head suspiciously, "Could it be that foggy so big in Loriente?" ”

"I can't see my fingers...... Generally not. The erudite Olivier shook his head, "Judging from the conditions here, there will only be a thin fog in the early morning at most, and there should not be such a dense fog......"

Such a strange weather phenomenon, like the earthquake caused by the association in the Chase area, can hardly be said to have nothing to do with the association in any way - it is also a technical task to make a smooth landing under such a high fog. Fortunately, the captain and helmsman were highly skilled, and although it took some more time, the ship still landed firmly at the anchorage of the airport.

"So...... Plans are definitely going to change? Heiliga asked softly, even the locals said that the abnormal weather they had never seen before, that it had nothing to do with the association, would anyone believe it?

"Ah...... Hmm......" Estelle was surprised at first, then nodded silently. It seemed that she was sorry that she could not get to the Chase area in the first place to find out about Joshua...... But even so, she nodded sensibly.

————————————————————————————

"Sister Aina!" The doors of the Guild were unceremoniously slammed open, and it was only in Lotriente, in her hometown, that Estelle would let go of all her reserve and indulge herself to the fullest.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect you all to come to Loliente at this time. The original plan was to go to Perth, right? Aina, the receptionist of the association in the Loliente area, was a blonde beauty who was very neatly groomed, and she was also looking at Estelle with a smile at the moment, "Are all of you your companions here?" Sheila hasn't seen her in a long time. ”

"Hmm...... If everyone else's words, Sister Aina has basically seen it, right? Here is Heliga and Phyta, helpers from the Empire. ”

"Oh yes...... You're ......," Aina looked a little surprised, "I've been aware of you from Estelle's report...... It's a pleasure to meet you...... And Her Royal Highness the Princess, Tita and Mr. Kim, right? I'm the receptionist for the Loliente branch, and my name is Aina Holding. Thank you for your kind attention. ”

"Hmm...... Indeed, every one of the Guild's chosen hosts is an unassailable presence......" Helliga exclaimed in admiration, turning her gaze to a blonde man who was acting strangely, "but Olivier...... What are you hiding there for? ”

“…… Alas......" The burly Jin sighed, and he couldn't do anything about the big lai who suddenly hugged him and hid behind him, with a steady and honest personality.

"Ha, ha, ha...... Please, please don't care, I'm never, I'm not thinking about what happened that night. Olivier was found stiff, and he didn't know where he was going to be when he usually spoke, his whole teeth were trembling, and he shook his body as he spoke, "No, it's not ......"

"Hmm...... Looking at the appearance, could it be ...... "Even the big guy who has been feeling very speechless all the time, after understanding what happened, Estelle couldn't help but smile: "Are you drinking with Sister Aina again?" ”

"Ah...... Woo......" Hearing this, it was as if he had been shot in the heart, and Olivier lay to the ground with convulsions.

“……？” Heliga looked at the smiling Aina with some surprise, she was able to make Olivier look like this without any gestures or words...... How terrible the woman in front of me is.

"Huh? Olivier has a pretty good amount of alcohol. Jin said suspiciously, "It seems that your name of 'a thousand cups is not drunk'......

"Huh? I didn't expect to add such a messy name to me? Aina covered her mouth and chuckled, "And Mr. Kim seems to be a big lover of fine wine...... If you have time in the future, call Shelazard and Olivier and drink together until dawn. ”

"Well, no problem." Jin made a bold gesture, but he didn't see Sherazade on the side looking at him with sympathetic eyes.

"Anyway, that's all for the greetings...... Let's talk about the situation. Aina, who naturally changed the subject, contained an incredible power in her calm tone, "The fog happened around dawn today, and it was just a thin haze at first, but unconsciously, the fog gradually thickened until it could obscure people's vision. Until now, the whole city of Loliente was covered in a thick fog. ”

"The geographical location of the Loliente region is a basin...... It stands to reason that it is not impossible to be a purely natural phenomenon. Olivier frowned.

"The formation of fog must meet two conditions, one is the moisture content in the air, and the other is that there is a large temperature difference in the short term." "But because of the nearby forests, the climate is very stable, so the Loliente region doesn't have too extreme weather even during the season when the temperature difference is the most drastic. So it must be said that the probability of a natural phenomenon is very low. ”

"Then it's up to you to investigate...... I wanted to ask the guerrillas who are still here, but now that you're here, I'm going to be of great help. Aina smiled and took out a few papers from the cabinet, thinking that they had been prepared a long time ago.

The plan was set quickly - the first step was for two people familiar with the surrounding environment, Sherazade and Estil, to search the streets of Alize to the south, Milk Street to the west, and Maruga Hill Road to the north to determine where the fog had gone. Perhaps because of Aina's thoughtfulness, her suggested route included Estelle's home on the outskirts of Lotrient. So, naturally, Estelle, who was touched by the scene, decided to invite everyone to her home for a short stay.

In the thick fog, the small wooden houses with simple lines are already clearly visible.
