“Hey, Ein.”

“Hmm?”

“It’s dark – here. Let’s get out of here.”

The monster local internship day awaited is upon us. The Bats, voiced from the middle of the second year, are happy to act as the same team. Although he initially had a stiff attitude, Ain and I were now able to have a conversation like friends. Only Bats became friends who were limited in school and elsewhere, but who abandoned Ain.

“Bats. We’re not coming out, we’re coming out. I would have hunted a few before.”

“That’s right, Bats. You’re already in danger, aren’t you?

Two people, Leonard and Loran, put a scratch in Bats’ words. It’s already in the dark woods, and it’s not weird when demons show up.

“Unless you’re irresistible or something, you won’t get hurt badly. Still don’t forget to concentrate.”

And the last thing that brought attention was Dill. He was a dill who had already graduated, but was allowed to participate, especially because of Ein’s escort. It’s not Chris, it’s the result of being judged okay with Dill.

“Senior Dill. But we’re a team of four…?

“Oh yeah, I’m only following you as an escort. Unless it’s too dangerous, I’m not gonna let it happen.”

Ein and his team are on the run. On the same day, two groups (second) of boys expressed their non-participation and never came to White Rose Station at the meeting point. They say punishment includes downgrading the group, and occasionally students who are scared and offer not to participate.

“You don’t have a problem, Loran. There’s nothing to be scared of by this member, in this realm.”

At times like this, Bats’ attitude felt very reliable. But Bats is right, if the demons in this neighborhood, Ain’t never gonna get behind them.

“It’s time to have a little something to burn. It’s gonna be tough after dark.”

“Leonard is right. The food will be fine with the rabbits I hunted on the road, and then I just want to find some drinking water.”

“Oh, it doesn’t matter if it’s not so dirty water or something. All you have to do is clean up with my magic props.”

“Mr. Loran. It is forbidden to bring magic props…”

Yes, Ain thought so too, but Dill points that out first.

“It’s all right, Senior Dill, we just make it out of the demonic stones that we’ve hunted so far, so if it’s a small water purification function, we don’t even have to make it.”

“Well, I hope so.”

Loran keeps improving its technical skills year after year. Nowadays, he is so talented that he makes simple magic tools on the ground.

“I will prepare the kingdom, Your Highness. Because it’s the only skill I can use in this setting.”

Leonard was a literary figure, but he has a rather rare skill of connecting.

It’s never a high-ranking junction that he can use, but it was still convenient enough to avoid it if it was to the extent of the demons around here.

Ein and Bats serve as the main avant-garde. It was Ain’t team that brought together those who excelled in a show.

They decided to set up today’s camp because it was getting dark.

Demonic local traineeships take place on a full three-day schedule. Between two nights and three days, go through the woods and mountains for a destination.

Even if a demon is not lucky enough to emerge, it is a difficult journey to use a lot of physical and mental strength.

Break up into two pairs at a time and go find what you think you need. This forest was able to collect it immediately, without being crippled by such things.

Set the fire and begin to support the meal.

“Hey, look at this. Fine. I found it.”

“What’s that? It’s purple and it’s disgusting.”

The Bats were on their way to collect in pairs with Loran. The returning bats seemed to have discovered something. Show that to Ain and Leonard.

“It doesn’t look good, but it’s a fruit, Your Highness. Taste is hard to fool around with, but bats. That looks the same, some things must have been poisonous… you know what I mean?

“I don’t know. I thought Leonard would understand.”

“Well, I don’t know exactly how to tell, either.”

“Dill. You know what?

“Yeah, I know you. But I can’t give that kind of advice…”

Dill knew, but it was still hard to get help…. but Ain’t one thing to remember here.

“Bats, give me a break.”

“Ah, ah. It’s okay, but it could be poisonous, so be careful.”

“I know…. Hmm, that’s surprisingly soft.”

It acts on absorption and toxin degradation so that they are not found out. But it didn’t seem to make any difference. I stepped on it that I would have no problem eating it.

“It’s okay, it’s not poisonous.”

“Dear Ein, did you know how to tell?

“It just so happens. Bats did a good job, and I’d appreciate it.”

Luckily, one dish will be added to the menu tonight. I can’t tell you the luxury of eating in the woods. Some teams probably haven’t put it on their diet. I’m blessed to think so.

With Marutai instead of a chair, I sit back on it and finally start taking a breath.

Not long after it starts to get dark, until we don’t know what’s going on around here. With that in mind, it might have been a little quicker to do the camp support, that’s what I thought Ain decided to make it a challenge for tomorrow.

“We’re in a little bit of a traveling mood.”

“Sure. I don’t hate it. Something like that.”

Cool winds pass through the woods and the sounds of the trees swinging. The fireworks are shaken by the wind, creating a unique atmosphere. The smell of rabbit meat blurring on the side stirs their appetite.

I sat down on the whole thing and felt somewhat calmed when I was surrounding the fireworks. From the rally early in the morning, I took the train to a place away from the King’s capital. After that, I stayed on foot and used a lot of my strength.

“Leonard, do you really think you’ve decided on an engagement?

“Hey, what the sudden… don’t be weird, Bats”

“What? I didn’t hear that!? What do you mean, Leonard?

“Hey, even Loran!

Leonard the Great Noble Trail, which is why it is never too late at this age to decide on an engagement.

I don’t know where you bought it from, but attention is drawn to what Bats said.

“Leonard. I didn’t even hear…”

“So, Your Highness! Don’t look so sad!

“Ah. Leonard made Ain cry”

“I thought you were my friend, but you’re terrible, Leonard”

“… Huh! Ah, already! Okay! All right, man!… Your Highness, I will tell you, Your Highness! Please, listen!

“Yeah. What? What kind of person?”

Ain’t got a kellow face and a face toward Leonard.

“Shit… they did it”

Where the conversation has become lively, Loran begins to cook meat among other things.

“Then shall we even hear about Leonard while we eat? Come on in.”

“That’s nice of you, thanks Lorraine!

“Oh… I’ll have it”

“Hey Leonard, cheer up. Not yet.”

“Hello, Senior Dill. Senior Dill, please.”

That’s how Loran handed Dill his meal too.

“Hmm? Oh, no, I’m fine because I get cell phone food.”

“Dill, you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it to be dried meat, eat it.”

Ain’t told me, so I’ll take it. Dill said he got it from Loran.

“Then I’ll give you one too.”

Thus, from the nostalgia, the bagged tea leaves were removed.

“Well, I was wondering if that would just be fraudulent…”

“Leonard, you’re right, it’s this annual routine. The rest of the team brought it in themselves. It’s just you guys, because you’ll forgive me for something as small as this. The Royal Kingsland School doesn’t have many events per event, so even if you bring in some elements of fun like this, you’ll forgive me. With a tacit understanding.”

With that in his mouth, Dill started preparing to brew tea in the dishes they brought in.

“Does that mean we’re the only ones who were being stupid and honest with you…?

“Bats. It’s nothing to be ashamed of… right?

“Loran is right. But… well, about this time. You won’t be punished for having a little fun. Sweet for your words, Bats.”

Having received unexpected tea further enriches the meal. A little prank would also be a student privilege.

And enjoying the meal, then the story about Leonard became the flower in question.

But the conversation was there, and everyone lay down early to prepare for tomorrow.

“You’re foggy.”

“Oh. You’re not gonna be too far from me and Ain, either.”

“I know. Our feet are slow, sorry for the inconvenience”

“If this is the case, I should have worked out already…”

On the second day, the road is walking between the mountains and the mountains through the woods. The fog seems to be getting stronger because of the special climate.

“Bats. What’s the landmark?

“There’s nothing you can do about this fog. I’m treading the ground hard enough to get my footprints on, but only to the point of rest.”

“How about staying here once and waiting for the fog to stop?

“Loran. Probably not much fog in this area, is it, Bats?”

“Exactly. Looks like you’ve pulled a little bit of a hassle course, you’re so damn lucky.”

The way forward for the six teams is all set in pieces. It will all be decided by whaling, and will go down a determined path. It’s not exactly the same difficulty, and sometimes a hassle lottery goes in like this one.

“We just have to move on. I thought I’d go straight in my head, but it doesn’t make much sense. Still, you can be a little careful not to bend over, don’t fall apart.”

Bats the lead, followed by Ain. Leonard and Loran follow. At the end of the day, the guard dill refrained.

“Is the distance between the goals going to be difficult?

“… I don’t know what to say. Depends on how you can get through this mist.”

What made Leonard anxious was that he could tread the distance that was his goal.

There has been a little madness in the plan because I never thought I’d be covered in so much fog.

“Hey Loran. Can you do a magic trick that can defuse the fog?

“What are you talking about, Master Ain…”

“Right. I don’t think so.”

“I can, though. I don’t think I can handle it right now.”

Can you do that?

“It’s not hard to make, and I’ll show you something similar next time”

Loran, who makes it, was a genius. If you have the material, make it and show it. The appearance of a light mouth can shine somewhere.

“Dill. What’s Loran really… that? Dill?”

“What’s up, Ein?”

“Dill! Answer me!

Ain’t realizing Dill hasn’t responded, he calls Dill out loud.

But still, I never got back to you.

“Hey Ain! Stop it!”

“Why not! Dill’s not here!?

“Eh… just keep your voice down. Noticed…… No, is it too late? They’ve noticed! Both of you, stay between me and Ain! Never leave!

“Huh? What the fuck!?

“Loran, calm down. Come here, come here!

Pulled by Leonard, Loran took the form of being sandwiched between Ain and Bats.

And soon. The sound of something called kick-ass starting to rub around.

“Dude… you heard it emerge here. Shh! Hey Ain!”

“What the fuck!

“It’s a raven butterfly! A troublesome demon who plants eggs on people and paralyzes them! You’re not the demon that comes out here! Watch out!

That’s what they say and keep your mind tight Ain. I’m also worried we’re off with Dill, but we’re the ones who’re about to get attacked now.

“Ugh, wow!? What now!?

“If it’s a black, big butterfly, that’s the enemy! Let me know when you’re getting closer!

“Tell me… Hey, Bats”

“What the fuck!

“Recommend Running”

“You suddenly can’t decide if you say that!

Bats who immediately deny what Leonard said. It’s foolish to do that even though you don’t know the situation. Leonard should have known about that too, but he speaks of it.

“Bats! Bats! No! Let’s get out of here! There’s plenty of them!

“Full of… hey are you kidding me!?

Dozens of raven butterfly herds. Such a group is coming from one side to another in an attempt to attack them.

“Bats! We’re gonna run!

“Oh! Hey, we’re both coming! Follow me somehow!

A few or so would have worked it out. But I don’t think we can handle this situation and dozens of them. Though dangerous, he ran out to leave the scene.

I don’t remember how long I ran. I think he kept running for at least a few dozen minutes. The place where your health reaches its limit and you finally reach it is a small hole warehouse. The four of them were hiding themselves there.

“Finally. Are you done… eh. Ain’t no louder than shouting in a place like that or committing suicide!

“… bad. That was my mistake, I got emotional and raised my voice. I’m sorry.”

“Hey Bats. You don’t have to say that…”

“That’s okay, Leonard. Obviously it was my mistake, but… Dill, where have you been…”

As we walked through the thick fog, Dill and the four of us fell off. I was really worried about that, Dill is strong, so you won’t have to worry too much, but still, if you ever get attacked by dozens of herds like you did earlier, it could be in case.

“Ha… ha…”

“Are you okay, Lorraine?

“Oh, oh, I’m sorry, Leonard. I’m just tired… Phew…”

“For now. This situation is strange”

A slightly calm bat starts explaining to everyone that the situation is strange.

“Those demons aren’t the ones that usually appear in places like this. Demons in areas where there are many cunning demons, like the Black Fuorns. It’s weird that you’re not engaged with the level here.”

“… you mean an anomaly?

“I mean an anomaly, as Ain says. I’ve thought about two paths, one being to say we’ll wait for rescue. The other thing is to say we move on, isn’t it simple? But even though there are so many of them, it’s not realistic to wait for rescue, because maybe we’ll find them here any day.”

“You’re worried about Senior Dill…”

“I’m really worried. But there’s nothing we can do about it… Your Highness, is there any way that Master Chris and the others are coming with escorts?

“No. Mr. Chris has been on his way to Magna with his mother’s escort since yesterday. So I don’t think there’s anything to tell you about Mr. Chris.”

In case you were following me in hiding, Leonard thought about relying on Chris. It was a bitter decision because of the anomaly and the emergency that went off with Dill.

“Then I knew it. We just have to keep moving… because there’s no guarantee it’ll help, and now it’s a fool not to do anything.”

“I agree with Bats’ idea, too. Even if you keep your mouth shut, the danger’s just coming.”

“If you agree with me as far as Your Highness, I have nothing against it…”

“Likewise, I don’t think the fight will help, and I’ll do my best to support you at all.”

Everyone’s opinions were summed up. It’s dangerous to move, but it’s even more dangerous to have many raven butterflies nearby.

I don’t know which one is right unless I try. That’s why they chose to act.

Then I kept walking for a few hours. Still a thick fog surrounds them and blocks their way.

From the direction of the sun, the approximate orientation was known, so there would be no turning back.

I heard kick-ass raven butterflies over and over again, and each time they stopped on their feet and got on guard.

Nothing could be found, but the situation with raven butterflies flying around nearby is always the same.

We discovered a small river that flowed thinly, where we decided to drink water and take a short break. Having walked long enough, Ain and Bats have also saved up fatigue.

“Lorraine, I’ll carry the water.”

“Rikai. Everyone drink well while you can.”

“Leonard, you don’t have to tie the line.”

“Why not, Bats?

“I can’t believe you noticed the bond, and when it’s lifted, you’re going to attack me.”

Leonard, who was about to tie the line, told Bats to stop it.

The cunning demons detect the existence of the junction, some at the same time launching an attack as it was lifted.

The raven butterfly is among its cunning demons. That’s why I didn’t want to tie the line.

“You really know Bats. Is that your father’s influence?

“Oh yeah. My father has always fought demons in dangerous places. He has taught me so many things.”

Answer Ein’s question with care, Bats. The area served by Bats’ father is a dangerous area, Bats grew up being taught a lot to deal with and what not to do by such a father. He’s a very dependable man in a place like this one.

Even then, I heard from Bats as he took a short break.

Raven Butterfly’s weakness is flames at its best. And second, it looks like sunlight. Everything seems fine in the fog, but if it hits direct sunlight, he says his body will collapse.

Nevertheless, the current situation is in deep fog. And no one can use the magic of fire. It seemed difficult to make a weakness.

“How are you going to rest tonight, Bats? Without a break, Leonard and Lorraine will have their limits.”

“Take turns sleeping. We’ll be leaving shortly before the sun rises, I want to get through the fog while the sun rises in the morning.”

“I understand. Then we have to find a place to rest.”

“All right, I held the water tight. I can go anytime.”

We finish our break with Loran’s words on the signal and start walking for the goal again. The break also restored some strength, vowing to our hearts to survive safely, moving our legs.
