Chapter 54

Intrusion Swordsman specific female (side Merutia) Awokawokawok female

Noah's Forest is a more dangerous place than rumors.

I managed to defeat the gray wolf and move the mushroom at first while advancing smoothly, but when we had to turn around due to the cliff, we were attacked by a large spider.

I managed to kill him by doing a pincer attack with Yuno, but it might be a little dangerous if it was one-on-one.

After walking a long distance, the surrounding area began to darken

Yuno picked up the light-emitting mushroom growing in the forest, and we used it as a substitute for light.

Half a day had passed since we entered the forest, but we had yet to find any clues related to Dorz.

I guess it's just a bad rumor

"Umm, Yuno-chan thinks we've entered a deep forest .." (Yuno)

"Rather than coming here because of that request, I am here solely because of my curiosity. The monster has also become stronger, so can we go back?" (Meruth)

When I answered unapologetically, Yuno glared at me with moist eyes.

"Well, I also think that way .." (Yuno)

As I was about to turn around, I saw something strange in the distance.

In front of the cave entrance, two statues were placed.

One was shaped like a dragon, the other was shaped like a human.

Although there was already a temple between the village and the forest, was this also the same thing?

But I have never heard of a religion that worships dragons in the village at all.

"As I thought, we need to check it out" (Merutia)

When I turned around saying so, Yuno sniffed with a 'sunrise' sound from her nose.

"Eeh ..it smells like meat, no matter how you look at it" (Yuno)

When I looked at the direction Yuno was pointing at, a large amount of meat was pierced into a tree that had no leaves.

Frankly, it's a strange sight.

I was busy and didn't realize it.

"W-there's a big monster bird with this kind of habit, I think I've heard of it." (Meruth)

"really? Did the bird take all the leaves or was it the villagers? The meat too, I think it's cut to a reasonable size, you see." (Yuno)

"We-yes …." (Meruth)

Just when I found a convincing reason based on my knowledge, it was easily rejected by Yuno.

"But still, I don't think anyone lives in the depths of the forest."

I thought for a while after saying that.

Don't tell me, did the missing person decide to stay here after being touched by nature?

But still, why do such a thing?

"A-because I think this request is really strange, you know! Let's cancel, cancel! First of all, it was impossible to conduct a C-rank request with just two people!" (Yuno)

"… a little more, let's get closer to observing the stone statue. Anyway, this is too suspicious" (Merutia)

As I approached the stone statue, Yuno also followed me reluctantly.

"……

When I looked at it more closely, I understood that it was well done.

However, I cannot guess the time of its creation.

It was unnatural as there were no scratches at all, like being inspired with magic to prevent damage.

Therefore, I do not know about the age of this thing.

But what I do know is, by the time this is built, it looks like it will have a very important meaning.

"What's ~? You see it like you're gonna eat it." (Yuno)

"… This statue, no scratches at all. Engraved with a very powerful magic." (Meruth)

"… … …"

When he heard my words, Yuno placed the hammer and the fungus emitting light on the ground

While touching with the sound of 'map map', words like "He ~" or "Ho ~" came out of his mouth in an interesting way.

Then Yuno picked up a branch of a tree that had fallen nearby, and proceeded to crash into the stone statue.

The branch broke and flew, but there was no sign of the statue being damaged.

"Fum." (Yuno)

Yuno said satisfiedly, while lifting the hammer with both hands.

"The weapon may break." (Meruth)

When I suggested that, Yuno regretfully held the hammer in one hand, and picked up the glowing mushroom again.

"So ...... um.. as I thought, we're really going?" (Yuno)

"It is quite possible that this is related to that request. However, be prepared to escape at once in an emergency." (Meruth)

"Fuai ~ ...." (Yuno)

Yuno who was holding the glowing mushroom was leading, and we advanced into the cave.

It doesn't seem too broad.

Halfway through, I felt my feet touch something that felt like a monster.

Thinking it was a monster, I swung my sword to knock it down.

'Can', a metallic sound is heard.

As soon as I calmed down and looked at it, it was just a fur carpet on the floor.

"… A-what. That surprised me a bit" (Merutia)

However, why was the carpet spread in such a place?

When I look at it carefully, it's not in very good shape.

The cleaning process is incomplete, so it is very damaged.

If the cave is slightly warmer, it may attract insects.

Other than stone sculptures, these could not be used for many years.

From what I understand, the person who made this carpet went in and out of the cave recently.

"… … …" (Merutia)

Are those people from the village?

No, is there anyone who can come here alone from the village?

Is it a fight with the village? But still I don't understand why the people from the village would hire us if that was the case

Or rather, was this temple used as a burglar hideout or something?

Really, what's going on here?

No matter which hypothesis, it does not fit very well.

Anyway, let's leave this place at once, and ask Mariel a few questions.
