The opening and closing of the door seemed to signal the start of the game, and the dense trees immediately wrapped around the door as soon as the four entered, sealing their way out.

In any case, they could not have imagined that this place where the trees had obscured the sky would be inhabited.

The joints that were once covered with green bricks under their feet have now been cracked by the huge roots of the trees that have risen from the ground, and are no longer suitable for walking. In this case, it is not surprising that there are enemies anywhere.

At this moment, Yao said to the nervous Ren and Asuka, "Don't be afraid. There was no one nearby. I understood by the smell. ”

Li Na, who released his perception from "......", also knew that no one was there, but he only did it symbolically, after all, he knew the plot.

But Plan B also has to be prepared in case the butterfly effect it sets off and causes any accidents.

"Ah, is the dog your friend too?"

"Hmm. There are about twenty of them. ”

The gift of Kasugabe Yao is that the more friends the beast has, the stronger it gets. And her physical abilities can be so powerful. That's why. The five senses, such as smell and hearing, are probably even sharper than those of the sixteenth night.

"Can you know the detailed location?"

"Not yet. However, you can't smell it downwind, so there is a high chance that it will be hidden in a private house. ”

"Then let's take a look outside."

The four of them began to explore the forest.

The strange trees seem to be devouring the house and growing, and the house is basically destroyed by the gnawing of the trunk and roots. This residential area, where people lived until yesterday, is in ruins.

Although Black Rabbit said beforehand that "Fores· Garo: "It's impossible to set up a large-scale race, but the power of Juld, who was able to create this magical forest in just one night, should not be underestimated.

"It's a life-saving battle for him. Even if you take out a few trump cards that have been retained, it's not surprising~"

"Hmm. His combat experience has almost always been without a fight. So it's normal to have a powerful unknown gift. Miss Yao, please don't let your guard down when you find Jarde. ”

Unlike the three who searched on the ground, Yao jumped to the tallest tree nearby to guard Jarde.

“…… No, I can't. Didn't find anything like a hint, and didn't find anything like a weapon. ”

"Maybe it's Jurd himself who is taking on this task, right?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Li Na said.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger, although this is true, but without weapons, it will only be unilaterally suppressed. But if you choose a low-risk fight, you can only rely on Yao's power.

"I didn't want to do that, but I had to change our policy. First of all, he used the power of Kasuga to find Jarde. ”

"I've found it."

Hearing this, Ren and Asuka looked at Yao on the tree at the same time.

"......" Li Na had long sensed it, but he didn't expect that he was still endowed with the spirit of a 'ghost' like the original.

However, the absence of anything else due to the butterfly effect surprised Li Na.

Yao, who jumped down from the tree, pointed to the road with the remains of the blue bricks

"It's right in the headquarters. It's just a shadow, but I do see it. ”

The eyes that were different from the usual ones seemed to have turned golden, staring at the headquarters. It seems that this distance is not much for the bird's eyesight.

"Looks like you have an eagle friend too. But Kasugabe was suddenly summoned to another world, wouldn't my friends feel sad? ”

"What do you say......... It's a little uncomfortable. "Yao lost his spirit.

Asuka smiled wryly and patted her on the shoulder. The three of them guarded the surroundings, and Li Na followed the three of them without much sense of presence, and began to move towards the headquarters. The surrounding trees seemed to be ordered to stop the invasion, and the main road was encroached on.

"It can turn so many tree ghosts...... Could it be her ......? A person suddenly flashed in Ren's heart, but immediately denied it.

Because that person can't be here.

"Look. Even the headquarters was engulfed. ”

Four people arrived at the "Fores· Garo" headquarters. The door painted with the tiger coat of arms had fallen miserably, and the windows were all shattered. Even the lavish paint on the exterior walls has corroded and peeled off.

"Jarde is on the second floor. You can go in......"

The interior is really miserable. The most luxurious furniture has been dismantled and falls to the ground in a mess.

Looking inside, the three of Asuka began to have questions about the stage.

"This strange forest stage...... Did he really make it? ”

“……… I don't know. The "organizers" have limited the number of people to only Jarde, and if you ask an agent to make the stage—"

"But even if you ask the agent, you haven't encountered a trap?" Yao asked suspiciously.

"The forest is the territory of tigers. Preparing such a stage in one's favor was supposed to be for a sneak attack...... However, this is not the case. Because if it's for that, there's no point in hiding in headquarters. No, it should be said that there is no need to destroy the headquarters at all! ”

This is the biggest question. This lavish headquarters was built by Jurd to show himself. It can be said to be a symbol of his ambition. Would he have ruined this headquarters so miserably for no sense?

The three of them searched around with a different sense of tension just now.

"......" Li Na still followed behind the three of them indifferently.

I was able to search all the corners in time, but still didn't find any similar hints or weapons.

It may just be a needle, or it may be a piece of iron that you can't pick up at all.

They are playing in such unfavourable conditions right now. Even if there is a sense of incongruity that has nothing to do with winning or losing, it is still necessary to carefully find a way to solve it.

"It's time to go up to the second floor. Renjun, please wait here. ”

"Why? I also have the gift that I won't hold back. ”

"I didn't mean that. Don't know what's going to happen up there, though. So now the troops have to be divided into two ways. We're looking for tips for breaking through the game, and we hope you're here to hold your way out...... And Li Najun, Renjun will ask you. ”

"Hmm......" Li Na nodded.

There is nothing wrong with this, but Ren is reluctant. However, he also knows the importance of holding the way out. Ren, who was embarrassed, had to reluctantly agree to stay down the stairs with Li Na.

Asuka and Yao kept their voices as low as they could, and slowly walked up the stairs blocked by tree roots. The two stood on either side of the last door above the staircase, waiting for their moment. Nodding to each other, they quickly rushed inside————

"Babbling ........."

“GEEEEEEYAAAAAaaaaaaa！！！”

In the room, a tiger monster that can't speak, stands guard in front of a sterling silver cross sword.

Roar at the two girls!
