Connecting from previous reports.
The cause of the strangeness in the Ibis Forest that occurred coinciding with the arrival of the third wave of Otherworlders has been known.
The main culprit of the strangeness was a Forest Dwellers who claimed to be the Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender.
She had the appearance of a girl less than 20 years old. With dark purple hair. Has a beautiful character typical of his people. A pair of violet-colored eyes and pale skin.
Due to the characteristics of the Forest Dwellers, I can't guess with certainty how old he really is.
But, from his behavior it can be concluded that he is not a child.
In terms of strength, he is extremely dangerous!
I don't know how strong he really is, but my [Magic Sense] and [Danger Sense] say that he's equal to or even stronger than the Forest Dwellers I fought 15 years ago.
Maybe you already know, from 12 Adventurers who contain 2 S-ranked Adventurers and 10 A to B-ranked Adventurers. There were only three survivors including myself. Without the sacrifice of those two S-rank Adventurers, there might not be a future for me.
Judging from that experience, I concluded that fighting it with the current strength was not a wise thing. Worst chance this whole town will be destroyed.
Here is a list of events from the first time Ibis Forest showed its strangeness until the time I wrote this letter now :
The day the Otherworlders arrived, the trees in Ibis Forest started swaying by themselves without any wind blowing and the Mobs living inside the forest started behaving strangely.
An investigation team of four B and C-ranked Adventurers were sent to see what happened. After that it was known that the composition of Mobs there changed drastically.
Five days after that incident, the Forest Dwellers I mentioned earlier entered the Union right at midnight. His goal was to sell the hunted materials and Potions he made.
From the results of our conversation, it was agreed that he, Lavender would not disturb this city as long as we did not disturb him first. When I thought things were going well, something unexpected happened.
A pair of famous Adventurers love to make trouble, Dan brothers (Which is where you are
who sent them here) is back to cause trouble. They chase and try to eat a (Forest Owl) who turns out to be Lavender's Familiar. Thanks to that they lost their lives.
However, thanks to their sacrifice, it is known that Lavender has [Wood Magic] and [Death Stares].
After leaving Union, there were reports that Lavender visited several shops to shop. Among them: Clothing, Books, Cooking utensils, Gardening equipment, and some cooking ingredients. It could be concluded that he had just moved and intended to stay within the Ibis Forest for a long time.
However, because his mood was bad after meeting with Dan brothers. Making him unable to endure his bloodlust which resulted in the guard or the shop owner who met him was now being treated by the church. No one was physically injured, but they were very fragile mentally.
In the morning, I got a report that Ibis Forest again showed the same weirdness as before twice.
The first one happened just before midnight. The second one happened just before dawn. It can be concluded that this oddity is related to Lavender who came out at midnight and returned before dawn.
The motive why Lavender chose to dwell in the Ibis Forest is still being investigated. However, from our previous talks, I can guess that he was trying to bring the Ibis Forest under his influence.
From all the facts above, we can conclude that :
At the center of all this is the Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender.
I look forward to getting more information on this. Therefore, I suggest not to rashly attempt to get rid of the Lavender Witch.
I've been talking about this with the mayor, Lambert von Gata.
After this I will also inform these information to the Otherworlders through the Headmaster of the Iron Sword Guild, Turbo. Who was also present when the Witch Lavender came into the Union.
All reports from me.
Headmaster of Gata, Alfred.
"Well... I hope the center doesn't act recklessly on this matter"
Union from all corners of the continent is currently busy with various kinds of problems that arise continuously.
Most of them had been dealt with by the Otherworlders and not a few of those problems were also caused by themselves.
Like the matter in Narsist Kingdom recently.
Just because one of the Otherworlders had a face similar to their King, the poor Otherworlder was chased down by the Royal troops.
The worse! The Royal Army does not care about the so-called International borders!
When the unfortunate Otherworlder made it across the border between the Narsist Kingdom and the Sanguine Kingdom, the Royal Army of the Narsist Kingdom continued to attack and even fight with the border guards of the Sanguine Kingdom.
As a result, both kingdoms were involved in a great war.
The Narsist Kingdom forced the Sanguine Kingdom to surrender the Otherworlder. While the Sanguine Kingdom side who felt their pride was trampled on due to the other party's stupidity, replied with a war cry.
While the Otherworlder who became the center of the problem has been secured by other Otherworlders and is currently in hiding.
"Well... The central party must be dizzy with this problem"
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
"Come in"
"Headmaster, did you call?"
"Ohh... Nak Turbo's. Please come in"
Turbo, Headmaster of Iron Sword. Heh, the Otherworlders do like to use strange names.
Nak Turbo is one of the few Otherworlders to come off the first wave. He was like a lamb who knew nothing. But now he was transformed into a good leader and determined to guide the other Otherworlder so as not to become like a lamb like himself.
"So, does this have anything to do with the Witch?"
"Right, first, how did you sleep?"
"Haha... Just having a little nightmare, no big deal"
Even though he said that, I could see eye bags on his face. His skin was also slightly pale and he also looked exhausted.
I'm sure he's having trouble sleeping or not even sleeping at all.
"It's been three days since that happened. I'm also just about to send the latest report to the central Union. Hah, what do you know about Forest Dwellers?"
"Honestly, that night was the first time I heard it"
"Well, it's natural. Now, listen carefully..."
Nak Turbo listened to me seriously, even though his body condition was not fit. He still responds to my calls. It was this serious attitude that made me appreciate it.
"Now, do you understand?"
"That's... Are you sure that he won't endanger the city?"
"That's still not certain. What was clear was that the strength of this city was still insufficient to deal with a Forest Dwellers"
Hearing this, a sense of regret and helplessness appeared on his face.
I know, Son Turbo is the kind of person who cares about other people. Even when there were other Otherworlders making trouble to the Locals, he was the first to advance to solve the problem.
Thanks to his personality like this, many other Otherworlders admired him and tried to help him. From then on, a Guild called Iron Sword was formed. A Guild dedicated to dealing with matters between Otherworlder and Locals.
"Now, all I want you to do is give this information to the other Otherworder. Especially those with high positions in society"
"Okay, I'll try"
The Otherworlders had a method of conveying information that crossed the boundary between continents.
However, this can only be used when they are asleep.
After a little casual conversation, Nak Turbo also resigned.
Seeing him go, I went back to the other problems I had. The world has changed a little.
As a Headmaster, I must carry out my duties and protect what I can protect.
Even when the Witch, Lavender. A threat to this city.
Me, the spear of fire, Alfred. I will give everything I have to stop him. Including my own life.
