I heard a rattling sound coming from the back of the cave, so I think weâre still working on it, but itâs too late.
Shell, hurry up!
When I came to the cave with my father, I heard Mr. Uruâs voice.
Rattling, Dawn.
Huh?
Somehow I just heard a terrific soundâŠ
Looking at your father, he looks into the cave with a strange look on his face.
In the same way, when I looked into the cave, I saw Sheil and Ms. Ur running behind her from the back.
When I waved my hand, Mr. Url gave a rushed look for some reason.
âGet away from me!â
I ran away from the cave in a hurry, in response to Uru-sanâs impatience.
When Uru-san and Sheil came out of the cave, they ran to our side.
âWhatâs going on?â
âAhh, Iâm exhilarated⊠hahahaâ
Uru-san scratched his head and turned his gaze away from his father.
Shell was looking over her shoulder.
I mean, did you enjoy breaking it?
â⊠well, I wonder if thatâs whatâs going to happen?â Come on, Shell. â
Nah!
In response to your fatherâs sighing, Mr. Url replied with a slightly serious expression.
Shell, who was also swayed by the conversation, had a refreshing expression on her face, but her tail was wobbling fluffily.
We seem to have had a lot of fun destroying them.
Dodoons.\n
When the loudest noise ever occurred, dirt bumps rose from the cave.
âŠâŠ
When I looked at Uru-san, he said, âOh no.â
It seemed like I was a little overdone.
Itâs subtle when youâre told that a runaway monster will do this.
When his father smiled bitterly, Mr. Url also nodded with a bitter smile.
Well, itâs too late.
If you break something, youâll never come back.
âLetâs move. I think the sound of it might have echoed through the village.â
When your father holds a magic bag containing documents, he points to the forest.
âWhich way do you want to go?â
âThatâs right. Huh? It looks like there are three of them a bit further away, but these are the ones that were in front of the cave?â
Mr. Ur nods as he looks at me.
Are they coming for us?
Itâs okay. When I left the cave, I was a little closer, so I was alert, but I moved away slowly.
I was vigilant that I was coming back to the cave, but the three of them were slowly moving away.
Probably wondered if I was going back to the cave or not.
Is it because of the sound now? It is going away with great momentum.
âAlright. The direction theyâre heading is⊠the village.âYouâre not going back to the village, are you?I definitely think itâs better to run like thisâŠ.. â
Uru-san looked at the direction of the three people with a pathetic look on his face.
You want me to run?
I see, not a single monster has returned from the runaway, and the cave was a mess.
Moreover, the older man who would be in charge would have escaped.
When we get back to the village in this situation⊠yeah, I think we should definitely run.
Why did you want to go back to the village?
Well, itâs none of our business. \nHuh.
Uru-sanâs expression changed rapidly.
Youâll be surprised how quickly you can switch.
âWhat? Ivy, whatâs wrong?â
Looking at Mr. Uru in a daze, he looked at him with a strange expression.
He shook his head to the side.
No, itâs nothing.
Is that so?
I nodded and turned my gaze to my father, wondering if he was convinced.
âLetâs take a completely different route back to the village.âIf they think weâre coming from the same direction, itâs embarrassing. â
âThatâs right. Worst of all, one of them.âItâs possible that someone knows the cave. â
Father nodded to Mr. Uruâs words.
Sure enough, it would be troublesome if they thought they were related to the cave.
The cave will be fabulously broken.
Speaking of which, there was someone watching us head for the dump.
âYouâre an adventurer at the gate, arenât you?âSure enough, you felt my gaze. â
Gaze?
Oh, you mean the man who looked anxious.
Rather than checking where youâre going, do you go to the forest at a time like this?I almost laughed a little because it felt like that.
Letâs go around the dump and go home so that you donât wonder.
âThat would be good.âIf you suspect that a little time has passed, you should be honest about the attack on Rabinella.There will be traces left.Does the gatekeeper know Ull? â
Mr. Uru shakes his head at your fatherâs words.
Iâm not here right now.
I see.
âOh, Dad, if youâre headed to the dump, you can take your hidden baggage home.â
When Rabinella chased me, I hid it near the dump.
\nI thought you might be running away because you were running around, but it looks different.
Maybe the runaway monster has disappeared?
My father and I stop at the words of Uru-san.
âAre the runaway monsters gone?âAre you saying you moved? â
Father runs his gaze into the forest.
â⊠it looks like thereâs no monster running around here.âThe way this forest feels⊠isnât it the way it should be? â
Dad canât sense the signs, and he judges by looking at the wind and the swaying of the trees caused by animals and monsters, but he even knows the state of the forest, so itâs amazing.
You mean, the original forest?
In other words, it was a forest where there were no monsters.
Oh, I see. These animals and monsters are back.
Uru-san laughs happily.
Indeed, the feeling of this forest was that animals and small monsters were running around the forest, and there were a few large animals and monsters all over the forest, and there was no sign of anything but a ferocious monster.
Youâre right, your father was right about the woods.
Whatâs that?
Youâre back in the woods⊠the monsters that ran away are gone, right?
Have you moved?
When I look at your father, he has a thoughtful expression on his face.
Then he shook his head to the side.
If you just move, I donât think the small animals will come out alert yet.
Father turns his gaze overhead.
Looking up in the same way, I saw a small animal about the size of a palm running through the leaves.
Maybe you should think that sheâs gone.
Mr. Url nods to his fatherâs words.
Looks like Ull-san thought he was gone too.
If they had told me, all the runaway monsters would have been defeated.
