Judging by the direction from which the horse's hooves came from, it came from the camp I had broken down before nightfall yesterday.

Stand up and move your body a little.

I feel the strength come back to my body.

Before leaving, he tied a slipknot with a rope on Tifa's body, and tied the other end to the tree. At least during my absence, I can guarantee that she won't fall back to the ground because of the excessive movement of turning over.

Jumping from the top of the tree, just at the moment when he was about to hit the ground. Grabbing a branch with both hands, he made a 360-degree spin and unloaded most of the force of the fall.

Then, borrowing the centrifugal force of the rotation, jump onto the branch of another tree that is shorter.

Holding the trunk of the tree with one hand, he just squatted with one knee bent.

A cavalryman whistled along the nearby forest path.

......

Due to the speed of the horse's galloping, Nisben, who was in charge of delivering the message, was unaware of the presence of people in the woods on one side. Maybe he didn't expect that someone would be waiting for him to appear in such a ghost place.

The white mist that drifted from the forest made Nisben can't help but whip his horse's ass a few more times. So much so that the mount under the crotch couldn't stop hissing, to indicate that he had run with all his might.

Every time Nisben looked back at the ethereal mist behind him, he felt a sense of panic.

"Damn, why am I the only one doing this kind of thing. ”

Nisben, who had escaped death and was not burned to death, had not had time to rejoice. was assigned this by his immediate boss.,Go to the camp of Constans after dawn to ask for help.。

Nobody wants to walk through the damn woodland over there. Even a small squad will choose to take a detour in most cases.

But he had to go alone.

Thinking of this, Nice couldn't help but complain. even "condolences" his boss and those nobles one by one.

Although, Nice Ben knows. I can just play tricks when no one is around. However, at least by doing so, it can distract his mental power to a great extent.

This way, you won't be too concerned about the fog in the direction of the woodland and do anything exaggerated.

......

In this way, I quietly hung behind the cavalryman.

Until after he crossed that fork in the road.

Flip the marker on the fork in the road and point it to the path we had been busy with all night, and after confirming that it is correct, the original road will be covered up with abandoned tree branches.

At this time, the only thing to worry about is that the smell of blood left from last night's battle is not very strong. However, it has not completely dispersed.

After looking in the direction where the cavalry who delivered the letter had gone. Talking to himself,

"That's all there is to it!"

Use the magic markers you have made in advance to reach the first observation position. This is a habit that I have kept in the long course of reconnaissance missions in the north.

After confirming that it is correct, deepen the magic mark on the tree again.

And then the next one.

By the time I was done and returned to my resting place, Tifa was already sitting up. It's just that she stared at the rope around her waist in a daze, as if she hadn't fully woken up.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Oh?" Tifa yawned as she scratched her hair with one hand. "It's okay!"

Actually, she can't be blamed for this. Tifa's brain circuitry is still in a delay. (It's only a drop in the distance from going down.) ）

Tifa blinked, not even realizing what he had just said. It's a bit ...... to experience this kind of staying up late for the first time.

slapped his face hard, and took out the handkerchief that his senior sister had stuffed into him from his arms. Pour a little water out of the leather kettle and soak it, then wring it out and apply it to your face, rubbing your hands vigorously a few times.

"Ah!!h Then he looked at it with a grin, "Okay!"

Seeing that Tifa was fully refreshed, I snuggled into the dense foliage. To be honest, I hate the sun more when I sleep.

"By the way, it's better not to go down to the ground if it's okay! ”

Before closing the door, I didn't forget to tell Tifa. To be honest, I'm not sure if this girl will suddenly burn out her brain because of a personality cult or something.
