Ronald's steps became hesitant.

The first thing that came to his mind was where the few of them were in the Joiz Forest.

If Kostadt is correct.

The caster, called Layton, will die in two days.

When the time comes, the little girl next to her will be left alone...... With her ability to move, it would be a fantasy to get out of the vast Yoiz Forest.

Or even relax the conditions a little more!

Even if the little girl could leave the forest at the last minute.

But even so, she may not be able to reach the human settlement alive, and there is a high probability that there is still no man's land with no human figure on the edge of the forest.

“……”

Thinking of these things.

Ronald frowned, sighed, and then asked the middle-aged spell caster opposite:

"Mr. Leighton, can you tell me where this little girl's home is?"

“……”

Hear the change in Ronald's tone.

The emotion in Layton's eyes was visibly excited.

However, he did not answer Ronald's question directly, but gently patted the shoulder of the little girl behind him and pushed her in front of him:

"Hull, tell this gentleman where your home is."

“……”

The little girl's expression was a little hesitant.

"Hull's home, my home is in ......," he said before she could tell her the location of her home, the child burst into tears, and then turned around and hugged Raytt's legs, "Layton, I want you to take me home!" You don't want to die, okay? ”

“……”

The middle-aged spellcaster's expression was stunned.

He quickly bit his lip, knelt on the ground, and then stretched out his hands to hold the little girl firmly in his arms.

At this moment, Leighton has no way to say his promise.

He just looked at Ronald with a look that was both sad and determined, and the meaning was self-evident.

“……”

Count the age before the crossing.

Ronald is actually quite old.

It can be said that eating sweets will make you feel better, but seeing a tragedy will make you sad.

This kind of scene...... It's fine if he doesn't see it.

But after it really happened in front of him, Ronald did feel like he couldn't walk.

However, this atmosphere of unspeakable grief and indignation does not seem to be contagious to everyone.

As everyone struggled to brew their emotions, Costa, who was next to Ronald, suddenly spoke

"Sir, aren't we leaving?"

“……”

The maid's tone was calm and calm when she asked.

It was as if the scene in front of her was nothing to mention to her.

However, Costadt soon saw Ronald's expression and felt that her speech might be a little out of place, so she immediately changed her tone and explained to Ronald:

"Sir, this is based on practical considerations."

"If the problems in the forest are not solved as soon as possible – then we don't know how many more similar tragedies like this will happen in places where we can't see them."

was interrupted by Kostadt like this, and Ronald's tangled mood was actually slightly relieved.

He knew that what the maid was saying was the truth.

If the problem of the original canon is not resolved......

Not to mention this spell caster and a little girl, under the continuous spread of the power of the original canon, it is incalculable how many lives will be lost in the future, and there is even a high probability that it has caused many tragedies now.

There are few signs of human activity in the Yoiz forest.

But it's also true.

“……”

That's just at this time.

Ronald suddenly remembered something.

Nicole, whom he met in Brunwich, was also a member of the Ocentis' Secret School.

When communicating with the investigator girl, the other party once explained to Ronald about the situation of the Augen's Mystic School and the spell system.

Come to think of it, the current situation doesn't seem to be completely hopeless?

Recalling the information he had received, Ronald immediately spoke:

"Mr. Leighton, from what I know about the secrets of Orgen, your school must have established quite a few camps in the Joiz Forest, and some of you have mastered the unique spell of replacing human organs with plants."

"If Leighton can find his companions in this kind of camp, then it shouldn't be a problem to get the appropriate treatment, rest and then take this little girl home, right?"

“……”

Hearing Ronald's proposal, Layton had a wry smile on his face:

"Mr. Ronald, the Secret of Augen is indeed a school built in the forest."

"But this sudden change is a very serious blow to us. Two months earlier, the casters scattered across the camps had all been summoned back to the Holy Land for a concentrated defense. ”

Answered Ronald's question.

Leighton's mood seemed to change as well.

He let go of the hand holding Hull and stood up, and after taking the little girl, he immediately said to Ronald in a bitter and helpless tone:

"Mr. Ronald, my request was indeed my faux pas."

"Saving Yoiz is the most important thing for anyone, as far as we ...... I'll do my best. ”

A simple apology to Rhonas.

Layton's eyes shifted to the little girl beside him:

"Hull, I assure you again—"

"Leighton, the caster of the Mystery of Augen, will surely send you home safely."

The little girl nodded vigorously:

"Well, I believe you."

“……”

The eyes of a small and a large two people met, and an indescribable trust came from this.

They then said goodbye to Ronald and the two.

Staggering and determined, he walked deeper into the Woods of Yoez.

Ronald watched the two go away.

However, the other party had only walked out of a distance of less than 100 meters, and he suddenly woke up to a problem that he hadn't considered just now - the direction in which these two guys were heading!

Sending people home......

Further into the interior of the Yoiz Forest?

And it even coincided with the path of his subsequent exploration!

At this time.

Ronald looked at Kostadt beside him with a surprised expression.

The maid responded to Ronald's eyes with her own quietness, and even nodded slightly, revealing "Sir, that's it, you read that right." "That's what it means.

“……”

Ronald was silent for a few more seconds.

In the end, he had to accept this bizarre and coincidental reality, and then chased after the two in front of him.

The distance that wasn't too far was crossed in the blink of an eye.

Catching up with the two departing people, Ronald asked very dryly:

"Mr. Leighton, there seems to be a very subtle consistency in our path forward."

"Before I go along, I have a question that I hope will be answered."

Layton heard what Ronald meant.

The middle-aged caster's expression of surprise was mixed with doubt, and then he immediately nodded and replied:

"Sir, may you ask."

Ronald continued:

"If you're going to send this little guy home, why are you heading into the forest?"

Face this problem.

Before Layton could answer, the little girl next to him took the initiative to explain:

"Because Hull's home is in the forest."
