âCaptain Ogt! Where have you been! I looked for him.â\n
Block your ears to the screaming voices of your men.
Youâre as good as ever.
Looking softly, I was stared at.
Oh, Iâm serious about this.
Was I getting that much work?
⊠With that said, I havenât been in the captainâs office in the last week or soâŠ
âRight. Ah, letâs get to work. Velivella.â
No, I didnât expect it to take a week.
âHuh. So, did you grab their tail?
Did you notice that I didnât say anything?
âI could confirm the stash of evidence. Now that we know someone a little unexpected is involved, weâll ask for an investigation later. And gather about 20 people. Because Iâm seizing evidence.â
âOkay. Please finish the paperwork properly as I will have everything ready. Right now!
Well, I left it for a week, and I canât help it.
âAh, Captain Ogt, itâs arrived.â
Thatâs a pain in the ass.
One of my men brought it to me. Iâll pick it up and check my name.\n
To Verivellaâs surprised voice, snort.
âApparently, itâs a letter that keeps me posted.â
Careful around me, I was always scared.
I approached him to see if I could help him at all, and he had a pretty cute personality and was surprised.
I did everything I could then, but I was worried I was alive.
Because forests are not a world where children can stand alone.
âWorkâŠâŠ well, even after a breakâ
I can hear the rare words of Velivera.
Iâm going to laugh at that, but bear it, and hurry to the captainâs office.
Sitting on the couch, Verivera sits in front.
âUh, âCaptain Ogt, Deputy Verivera, itâs been a while. Do you remember? For a little while. Iâm Ivy, who took care of you. I thought it might be annoying, but I wanted to let you know how well Iâm doing and Iâll send it.â â
âAs always, sheâs polite.â
Verivella laughs happily.
Thatâs what I cared about her.
ââI am now in the village of Hatau. I could have someone to travel withâ. Now you can spend time with other people.â
It was easy to tell Ivy then that one childâs journey alone was dangerous.
But I didnât know if it was okay to tell her that I was afraid of others and rejecting them.
No matter how you look at it, you wonât be able to spend time with others in a mental state.
If I canât improve on what I told you, I decided I shouldnât tell you.
It can only stir up anxiety.
Iâve just always been anxious to see if that was the right thing to do.
âShe seemed to be able to tour with the good guys by the time we got to Hathau Village.â
Nod to Verivellaâs words Read more. \nâAh. Uh, my buddy says, âIâm the one who says Mr. Druid in All TownsââŠâŠ hmm? All Town or Druid?
â⊠is that the hidden ball of the guild? Youâre kidding, right? That cold, outrageous and famous?
âUh, âMr. Druid is so sweet, he always helpsâ. Someone else?â
Itâs a long way from the Druid I know.
Do you think the all-town druids I know will shudder around with a look that doesnât change one complexion when making ruthless decisions and doesnât even bring any emotions to bear when doing it?
Talks like this can get bigger, but I see him doing his job with these eyes.
I did find my eyes horrible with no emotions floating around.
âIt would be someone else.â
To Verivellaâs words, I snort that it is.
but somehow I can imagine him lining up next to Ivy, the hidden ball of the guild.
âWell, people change, and if Ivy is good for you or someone else, you wonât have a problemâ
Letâs just get confirmation later.
âUh, âIâm a Tamer with skills, but I couldnât tell you that then. Sorry.â â
âIt was Tamer, wasnât it? Does it say why you hid it?
Read more about Veliveraâs strange look.
ââI couldnât tell you why I didnât talk because I couldnât stay in the village because of my skillsâ. Canât you stay in the village anymore? Tamerâs a treasured skill, isnât he? Whatâs this all about?
Tilt your neck with Verivera.
ââMy tasted slime is adorable and the thing Iâm good at is breaking shape. I met him when he was in a broken state stretching out with a sideburn. It was completely broken. It really collapses beautifullyâ. Itâs one star to be able to taste the slime.â
Canât you stay with one of Tamerâs stars?
â⊠the slime that was crumbling?
Something blurs behind Verivellaâs brain.
Slime that was crumbling?
âOh, you mean the collapse slime? The weakest.â
\nâRight. With that said, I didnât confirm it because I wasnât interested, but itâs like the captain said there was a child among the meritoriousâŠâ
âOh, sure they asked for your name then IvyâsâŠâ
âIâll check the name of the meritorious man laterâ
âPlease. You go on. âI forgot. Before I met the Ratlures, I had company. Heâs a very strong and cool fellow. Mr. Druid says heâs the third strongest and coolest, and heâs the third, and Iâm satisfied with the third because I want him to be the first, but I donât want him to be a fool. This fellow is like a dreamâ. Hmm?â
âLooks like thereâs something you canât honestly write about again. Iâve never done anything like this before.â
That makes me laugh, too.
âNow what? Friends? Not like Tame? And third?
âAre you one of us because weâre not taming but weâre together? What do you mean, people? No, you donât have that. Then youâll write people. Iâm also curious about this third one.â
Nodding at Verivellaâs words.
Number three, with that said, going for number one makes you a fool?
âStrong and coolâŠâŠ third. Strength third? No, no, what?
âFools mean âwhat you put your hands on is foolsâ? So thirdâŠâŠ Adandala?
Verivella gives a surprised look and shakes her neck to the side.
âThatâs impossible.â
âYes, though. It says, âThis fellow is like a dream,â and Adandala collapses into a slime without stars?
âI donât know, uh, didnât you read too much?
âRight. Itâs possible.â
Without a doubt, itâs written in hiding a lot, and what I want you to care about is somewhat accentuated.
âI donât think youâll ever know what it means to be read like this, but you have to be careful.â
Verivella thinks it means something, too.
âBut can you decipher it when itâs hidden any more?
â⊠well, thereâs never going to be so much to hide⊠isnât there?
âDonât ask me. Heh. Well, âOh, I forgot again, even though I have to write first. Actually, Iâm a woman. I was fooling around when I heard that boys were safer to travel. Iâm sorry. Uh, Iâve also grown a little tall lately, and Iâm glad'â
I donât care because I wasnât fooled.
