“Hmmm…”

He was back inside, and now that there were his future plans on the line, he had to get out of this place before she did something crazy and reached here.

He knew getting past the big forest filled with all those creatures wasn’t going to be an easy thing but after that unique encounter, he had a clue to what might help them get out of there.

“It was fast, like too fast.”

He was searching through the vast encyclopedia on the creatures of the east to find creatures that could move as fast as that creature.

“It had purple eyes and they were different from the simple eyes so that creature might be a unique one as well.

I couldn’t see much of it last time, but it definitely came there for that grass.”

He was just walking around and then he found that grass.

It was glowing and it was small unlike most of the grass blades of this forest.

It was quite unique so he was observing it, however, in that small instance, that creature took the grass blade.

[{ Master… }]

But since Sera didn’t see it herself, she was still not sure if there was some mysterious creature with purple eyes in this forest or not.

“I know what I saw, Sera.”

[{ I’m not doubting you, master. I’m just… worried. Don’t you think there’s a little… too many of them here? }]

“Hmmm?”

He was sitting outside his cave while contemplating like he usually did, and he wasn’t alone today either.

Just like last few days, there were creatures, his friends from the forest here.

They were either listening to him or were playing by themselves… just that, there were a few more aside from those creatures.

“Yeah, I noticed it as well.”

For some reason, there were more creatures around here today.

Some of them were ones that he had seen before, while some were from the darker part of the forest.

There were some creatures from the other parts of the forest that he had seen before, while some that he had never actually met personally but knew about.

“This might also be because of those creatures we saw yesterday, you know?”

[{ … }]

Sera still doubted him.

She had not seen any creatures in that place, and even after she looked around the entire forest more than a few times, she neither found any creatures with any kind of purple eyes, nor did she find anything that would be small and have a silver body or outline.

She didn’t know if the creature existed or not, but the fact that there were suddenly so many creatures interested in them confused her as well.

There were definitely some reasons behind this sudden interest, but since she had not seen that creature herself, she wasn’t yet sure what to think about it, or the supernatural speed that it showed.

“Hmmm. Nope. There’s nothing with such descriptions.”

The data on the characteristics of the creature that he had seen was too little.

He had not even seen the creature completely, just those eyes and that outline.

So, he did not know much.

“You all won’t tell me about that creature at all? Not even a little?”

He was asking creatures around him but these beings knew little about what he was talking about or were unconsciously avoiding giving him even a hint related to the creature that could move as fast as that being.

He didn’t know if it was because of some kind of restriction that these creatures had, or if they simply just didn’t know about it at all.

“Not even you, tiger?”

“Grrrr?”

The tiger was sleeping, but it still nodded its head in denial.

It did not know what these creatures were here, but it didn’t want to waste any of its energy on them since it wasn’t even hungry right now.

Besides, the fish that Elio made for them was something she was becoming addicted to, so eating these bunch here wasn’t going to be anything fun to her.

“Hmmm…”

He wasn’t getting anything from these beings, and there was no information in the data that he had either.

“Alright then…”

So he just got up and threw everything away.

“We will go and look for another one of those glowing grass in the other regions. Perhaps we will get to see it again?”

If there wasn’t anything that these creatures would tell him, he had no other choice but to go and look for something that would surely help him get what he wanted.

[{ But, master. I didn’t see anything like it the last time I was checking there. }]

“You didn’t see anything since you weren’t looking for it, Sera. We just stumbled upon it after my eyes caught it accidentally.”

That grass blade had been right before them from the start.

Sera was there as well and she could have seen that grass earlier than him as well, but she didn’t.

Not even with her special sensing ability.

That creature wasn’t simply something that could move too fast, it had looked back at him in that brief moment that it was there.

He had looked at that creature, but even he did not know whether he saw it when it was taking the grass out, or if when it was cleaning the area from where it had taken the grass.

“There’s definitely something special about that grass.”

If that creature didn’t reveal itself all this time and only came out when they found that grass, he definitely knew there was something more to this grass than just its glowing surface and its unique nature.

Perhaps, it wasn’t grass at all and something else. He did not know yet, but he was sure of one fact: it was something that grew naturally.

He could perhaps tell it because of his affinity for all the elements or because of something else, but he knew it was a natural life form.

And if it was something that grew in this forest, there definitely was more than one of these.

Perhaps there were very few of these and they were somehow important. There was something to it that was different from anything else in this forest.

Elio had inferred that much. Stay tuned with empire

So…

“Let’s try it at least. We might find at least one of them somewhere, no?”

He was going to find it.

There was even something that was going to help him with it that he hadn’t tried yet, but he now had the chance that he was looking for.

So, he sat down on the ground once again, and placed his hand on the ground.

Then… he focused on his eyes.
