"Alright, is everyone ready?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"No problem here!"

Several days after we gave the materials .

We completed our preparation and departed for Melkia .

This time we're traveling by foot .

Iris attracts too much attention and her wings haven't recovered yet, so I'd like to preserve her .

And above all, it takes less than a day to Melkia by running anyway .

There's no reason in using a method that shouldn't be seen by other people just for covering that much distance .

"Umm . . . Shouldn't it take around one week to Melkia?"

"Yes, I think it was around that long too!"

Alma and Ruli said something intriguing .

. . . One week?

"Iris, was that dungeon that far? I thought we should arrive before it got dark if I we left first thing in the morning . "

"I thought we would arrive before today is over too! I think it should be around evening with our pace right now . "

Iris has the same opinion as me .

If ours differ from Ruli and Alma, that means . . . the route we have in mind differs .

Maybe the terrain changed when I wasn't aware .

Iris could survey the ground below by flying in the sky, but her wings were in bad shape until recently and she couldn't have flown .

I should ask them for now .

" . . . It's not even 100 kilometers from here to Melkia right?"

"I think it's less than 100 kilometers if we go straight to it, but normally--wait, don't tell me Mathi-kun, we're going to Melkia in a straight line?"

"There's a road until halfway through, so I plan to use it until then . . . and then we'll hit a forest there right . "

I'm sure the forest had a name when I saw the map at the guild .

It was . . . Cikirisbia forest or something .

"Forest . . . If we're going from here straight to Melkia, we'll have to go through Cikirisbia forest don't we?"

I got it right it seems .

"That's our route . . . . Is there any problem if we go through Cikirisbia forest? Even if there's some wetlands there, we should manage with some magic . . . "

"Not wetlands, but monsters! It's a terrible forest said to make even veteran adventurers run away crying!"

"Not only they're strong, it's said that there are intelligent monsters there . . . "

I see .

Cikirisbia Forest is that kinda place huh .

That means . . . There's only one choice .

"Alright, we should arrive at Melkia City by today's end then . "

I veered away from the road we're running on as I said that .

This should be around the area where we should stray off the road if we want to go there straight .

"Prompt decision really!?"

"A . . . are we really going to have to cross Cikirisbia forest!?"

"Yeah . . . . That said, we don't necessarily have to fight . We'll run away if it seems dangerous . . . Iris, can you do it?"

"Yes! I have absolutely no problem flying with three people on my back!"

I focus on the pa.s.sive detection after hearing Iris .

I'm using it to probe around the surrounding mana .

I enjoy good fights, but thoughtlessly charging into an opponent of unknown strength is just reckless .

You'd meet your end quicker than getting stronger .

That's why you fight after confirming your safety .

"I see . . . Iris-san can fly if worse comes to worst . . . "

"I mean, feels like we've got nothing to worry about Cikirisbia forest when we have Mathi-kun . . . . "

We went forward to the forest while having such conversations .
