"Cut...... You're in luck......"

"It's scary......"

Sophia, who had accommodated her dissatisfaction with the wind spirit wolf, yelled and rushed forward.

But the Wind Spirit Wolf sensed that Sophia was running and immediately fled.

"Stop! Don't run! ”

The Wind Spirit Wolf, who couldn't understand what Sophia was saying, ignored her words and ran away desperately.

"It's all said, let you stop!"

If these monsters knew that Sophia didn't have any combat power, would they turn their heads and pounce on them?

"Stop chasing, Sophia-chan!"

"Ahh———h

"Hmph, they must have realized how powerful Nana is."

"Nonsense, I beat them away!"

Then, the two began a quarrel that only children would have.

The final victory still belonged to Hinako, who was laughing with her hands on her hips.

This guy ...... It's really no different from a child......

"Let's go, I can feel Miss Fairy right ahead."

"Really...... Does Hinako-san still have this ability? ”

"Of course, my instincts are sharp."

Such an ability is, of course, impossible.

I want to know that it was Hinako who was talking nonsense, but the simple Nana was deceived by her, and pulled the corner of Hinako's clothes with a look of adoration.

"Ho ho ...... This forest is quite big. ”

"It's said to be half the size of Selivia."

"By the way, are we going to camp here tonight?"

Hinako said on a whim.

"I don't know ......"

"Very well, let's camp here tonight."

"Huh?! But Sister Suzuki ......"

"It's okay, they're looking for the ruins, and we'll just go and meet them in the ruins the next day."

"But ......"

"No problem, no problem, I'll protect you."

Hinako touched Nana's head indiscriminately like an eldest sister's head.

"I don't need the protection of the stupid Hinako-san."

"Let's go, let's go."

Continue your journey deeper into the forest.

The aura of the surrounding demonic beasts has also increased, making people have to pay more attention to the surrounding environment, if they are not careful, they may be attacked by hidden demonic beasts.

"Ahh

Hoshino's scream was covered by Suzuki before he could utter it.

"Shhhh Don't alarm it, let's change places. ”

There was a turquoise snake hidden in the grass in front of Hoshino, and I remember the name was called the Sand Snake Snake, which was a very dangerous snake, with a level of only about twenty. It rarely attacks humans, and as long as you don't provoke it, nothing will go wrong.

Suzuki took Hoshino's hand and slowly moved her to the side.

"Miss Suzuki, we seem to be surrounded by these rustling snakes......"

"Huh? Isn't this kind of snake not going to attack humans? ”

Suzuki looked around and did find a lot of turquoise, but if you don't look closely, you might not really be able to find it, these guys are hard to spot in the grass.

"Wow...... What about Suzuki? How scary are these snakes? ”

"Wait...... Let me figure it out......"

"Hurry up...... They're coming......"

Hoshino hugged Suzuki tightly, and she closed her eyes for fear of bugs.

"Look at me!"

Harina raised her sword and slashed down.

Very nice slash that perfectly cuts the sarsa snake in two.

Sizzle———

"That's amazing, Harina!"

"Hah!"

Haruna transformed into a Valkyrie and swung sword after sword at the sand snake.

The smooth movements made Suzuki wonder if the person in front of him was Haruna.

"Hoo ......"

After killing the last sarsa snake, Haruna wiped the sweat from her forehead and put away the sword in her hand.

"Pretty capable, Hauna!"

"Anyway, I'm also a knight, don't underestimate me so much."

"Huh? Captain? How did you end up here? ”

The movement just now may have been too loud for Hinako and the others to find out.

"Ahem...... I'm following you to keep an eye on you guys so you don't do something stupid. ”

"What, if you want to see Miss Fairy, just say it."

"Didn't you say it?"

"Less pretending, the captain's expression tells me the answer."

Damn, is my expression so obvious......

"Ahem...... In short, before performing the task...... It's not impossible to do something else...... I mean, as long as it doesn't affect the progress of the delegation. ”

"Long live the captain!"

At this time, Suzuki and the others changed from exploring ancient ruins to looking for Miss Fairy.

I guess only Kami-sama will know if there is a fairy lady or not. Speaking of which......

Suzuki had also tried to contact Yukona before, but the phone had not been able to get through, and she didn't know if something had happened, so she could only wait unilaterally for Yukona's contact now.

I don't know what happened to Vivian?

Vivien, who disappeared after leaving a note, is really worrying.

However, there shouldn't be any major problems with her staying with Yukona.

"Let's go, Captain, what are you doing there?"

“…… Sorry, coming right away. ”

Anyway, find a time to call again.

"This forest is so big...... It's the same when you walk around. ”

"Could it be psychedelic magic?"

"How is that possible...... How strong is a person who can conjure up a forest? ”

"By the way, captain, is it okay to talk about camping before?"

"Huh? Bivouac? ”

"Really, didn't you just overhear it?"

"Ah, what about this...... I don't care, just ask......"

"Great! You can camp here tonight! ”

"Hey, you're going to ask the other people's opinions, right?"

"It's okay, they'll agree! Sophia-chan, I'm sure you should have no opinion, right? ”

Sophia, who was just about to raise her hand to object, was looked at by Hinako with ill intentions, and she put down her half-raised hand.

"Look, I said they're all right, right?"

“…… Well, then let's camp here tonight. But we're going to find a slightly better place...... Preferably by the river. ”

"Why by the river?"

"Stupid ......"

"Of course, it's because you can catch fish and eat it!"

One more fool.

"It's not a special reason, if you get dirty, you can wash it off a little bit with water."

"What, why it's so boring......"

"But it's a question of whether there's a creek here."

In any case, there will certainly be no progress going on to stay here.

"Anyway, let's pick up where we left off."

"Let's go! Hina Squad! ”

"Can you not act like a child?"

"You're a child!"
