The town of Mist, as its name suggests, has always been shrouded in mist.

"Did you find anything by bringing us here?"

Ghosn questioned Gio.

"Well, I did find a way to find night cats. “

"Really?"

Hearing Geo's words, Ghosn's eyes lit up.

"What's the solution?"

Linari jumped up with some excitement.

Geo didn't talk nonsense either, and put what he had bought from the alchemy pharmacy in front of everyone.

"What is this?"

Looking at the metal ball in front of them, everyone was a little puzzled.

"This is something I found, which is said to attract night cats, and whether it works or not will be known until you try it. ”

Gio frowned, obviously not very sure about the metal ball in front of him.

"That's right, anyway, at least one way, it's almost dark, just try it. ”

Although there is not much confidence in this thing, at least it is a way.

"Go get ready. “

Ghosn gave the order, and he didn't ask much about how Gio got the metal ball.

Hearing the order, everyone got up and left Geo's room.

"Let's get ready, too. ”

Fran walked over and said.

"Hmm. ”

While the caravan was preparing for the night's move, the thieves were also moving.

"Boss. ”

"How. ”

The leader of the thieves asked, looking at his subordinates in front of him.

"I've inquired about it, and it's basically the same as what the caravan said, and the answers of those transparent people are the same. ”

"Where's the mayor? Have you been there?"

“...... No. “

The thief replied with a shudder.

"That's right. ”

The leader of the thieves, who had his head down in thought, did not notice the abnormality of his men.

"Let's go, let's see. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen turning around and walking out with his weapon.

“......”

The leader of the thieves who turned to leave didn't see it, and the red light flashed in the eyes of the men standing behind him.

In the evening, the caravan gathered at the gate of the town.

"Let's go. “

Ghosn nodded to the crowd and turned away, followed by him.

As the crowd went deeper and deeper, the fog in the forest became thicker and thicker, and it was almost impossible to see each other's faces from a few meters apart.

"That's it. ”

Arriving at one of the few clearings in the forest, Ghosn said to Geo.

Geo nodded, motioning to the group to hide himself.

"Whew~"

Geo took a deep breath and placed the metal orb in the clearing, flipped the switch, and quickly flashed towards the bushes as the orb glowed.

As the light gradually brightened, everyone held their breath and their mood became apprehensive.

"It must be successful. ”

Geo said in his heart, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Huh?"

After waiting for more than 5.6 minutes, Geo seemed to see something approaching.

Without acting rashly, Geo held his breath for fear of alarming the other party.

After shaking a few times, the black shadow seemed to have made up its mind, and instantly rushed towards the glowing orb.

"It's now!"

Geo quickly burst out of the bushes, while Fran and Ghosn were even faster, almost as soon as Geo got up.

Seeing the appearance of everyone, the black shadow froze, and in response, it quickly grabbed the glowing metal ball and ran towards the forest.

"Don't try to run!"

Ghosn let out a loud shout and threw the net he was carrying.

"Wow!"

The night cat screamed in panic and leaped to the side to avoid Ghosn's net.

Although it avoided Ghosn's attack, its speed was hindered, and the people who followed it threw their nets out one after another.

Seeing this, the night cat jumped left and right in panic, dodging everyone's attacks.

"Rub!"

Geo cursed and drew his crossbow, which he could only shoot at if he couldn't catch it with his net.

As the caravan chased the night cat and was about to shoot, a short spear fell from the sky, and the target was the night cat.

Seeing this, the night cat panicked and jumped away, but the moment it jumped away, the spear suddenly burst open, turning into a net and trapping it inside.

Fran jumped down from the tree and looked at the night cat struggling in her net.

The people who caught up were relieved to see this situation, but fortunately, they caught it without being hurt.

"Uh......"

The people holding the torches looked at the girl in front of them and looked at each other speechlessly.

The creature in front of her could indeed be called a maiden, if you ignore her claws and the ears on her head.

"This is a proper cat lady. ”

Geo looked at the night cat in front of him dumbfounded, and said in his heart.

"Hmph~"

Fran was a little jealous when she saw Geo's appearance.

"I was just a little surprised to see the way she looked. ”

Looking at the petty Fran, Geo said with a smile.

"Hmph. “

Knowing that this was the case, Fran ignored him with a petty nature, and Geo touched his nose helplessly and looked at the night cat in his net.

"With her, we can swap for a guide light. ”

Ghosn breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Wait! Don't give me to the demons of Mist, I'll be eaten by it!"

The girl said to the crowd with tears in her eyes.

“......”

Looking at her pitiful appearance, everyone was a little unbearable, but they had no choice but to turn their heads and not look at her.

"Please. ”

Seeing the appearance of everyone, she was a little disheartened, helpless, she could only look at Geo, hoping that he could help her speak.

"Let's stop. “

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the girl in the net pocket, Gio was a little unbearable, and he really wouldn't give her to the demon named Zes in the town.

"It's time to make it clear. ”

Geo thought.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Geo's appearance, Ghosn frowned, he finally found the night cat, he didn't want to make everyone unable to leave because of Geo's momentary kindness.

Hearing Geo's words, the girl's eyes lit up and she looked at Geo expectantly with wet eyes.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to do anything harmful to everyone, it's just that there are some things that need to be clarified to you, and it's not bad for this amount of time anyway. ”

Geo smiled.

Hearing Geo's words, everyone looked at each other, watching as Geo waited for his next step.

"Do you think you can believe what the demons in town say?"

Hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

"What do you mean? It deceived us, but how do you know?"

Ghosn said with a frown.

"It's really lying to you, even if you hand me over to it, you won't be able to get out of here, I can take you away!"

Before Gio could speak, the girl shouted nervously.

"Hehe, I know you have questions, but it's true that she was able to get us out of here. ”

Geo affirmed.

"Then you mean to let her take us away directly?"

"If possible. ”

Geo spread his hands.

"What's going on?"

Fran asked, a little confused.

"Hehe, you may not have noticed, but I found out that everything from the time we found that bad demon to the alchemy pharmacy was arranged by the demon named Zeth in the town. ”

"Are you saying that it gave us all these clues? ”

Fran said with some horror.

"Well, that's basically true, it's actually a kind of habitual thinking, people will always believe what they find, as for why they didn't tell you in the town because I think the whole town is under the watchful eye of the other party. ”

Geo said to Fran.

"Then how did you find out that this was arranged by the other party?"

Linari asked, walking up to Geo.

"Actually, I didn't find out at first, I always thought it was just a coincidence, until the alchemy pharmacy, I began to suspect that everyone in the town had seen it, and they had almost no own thinking, no matter how everyone asked, the answer was the same. ”

"That's true. ”

The crowd nodded.

"Then the doubts come out, why can these people communicate with us and provide props?"

"I see!"

Ghosn suddenly realized.

"If it wasn't at the behest of the demons, then they were freed from the demon's control. ”

"That's right, but the latter is obviously unlikely, the whole town is under the control of the other party, why are there such a few special people, if it were me, I wouldn't allow it, besides, if I were those transparent people who recovered their minds one day, the first thing I would do was to leave here, instead of staying in the town and waiting to be discovered. ”

"That's right. ”

Hearing Geo's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

"And now, let her take us away?"

Linari asked.

"It's not that simple, even if there is a night cat, you still need a guide light. ”

Geo glanced at the girl in the net pocket and said.

"Do you have any ideas. ”

"It's a little bit, but it needs her cooperation. ”

Geo gestured to the girl who had been caught.

"Cooperation?"

Hearing Geo's words, everyone looked at each other suspiciously.

"Hey, hey. ”

Looking at the girl in front of him, Geo smiled a little gloomily.
