"Ivy, it looks like we still have the back."

Following Mr. Druid's gaze, the cave does continue in the back.

And I see a slight light.

"Are there people?

Hurry to Mr. Druid's words to explore the signs, but there are no signs of people.

But this is a sign that I know.

I wonder who it was...

"Ah, it's a sign of Mr. Sarpent. This!

"Serpent? Shall we go?"

"Puffy ~"

"Nya-yay."

Before I answer, Sora and Ciel go to the back with joy.

Follow Mr. Druid in a hurry.

"Sola, Ciel, slow down"

It's a cave, so it's a bad foot, and even if it's in a hurry, it can't go that fast.

Besides, I have a flem in my arm.

If I do, I might even get hurt by Flem.

Thrilled, Flem's weight disappears inadvertently from his arms as he moves into the back.

"What?"

"It's dangerous, I'll hold it. Can I have Flem, too?

Looking to the right side, Mr. Druid is holding up Flem.

"Teriyu ~"

Apparently, he looked more dangerous than he thought himself.

"Thanks"

When I thanked him, he stroked my head with a pong.

Follow the two and head back into a wider space than you did earlier.

"Wow."

In front of me lies Mr. Sarpent.

Are you unconscious or not? Pickley and I have no movement.

Is he dead?

When you get anxious and try to get close,

"Pu ~"

"Sola?"

"What's up?

Sora makes a loud noise and alternately jumps at the feet of me and Mr. Druid.

This is Sora's warning that it would be dangerous to go any further.

I've been helped by this many times when I'm traveling alone.

"You mean it's dangerous when you get close, right?

"What?"

"Puffy ~"

Sounds like you got it right, and Sora jumps with Piong Piong happily.

"Thank you, Sola. Mr. Druid, it seems dangerous to approach."

"Wow. Thank you, Sola."

"Puffy ~"

When Mr. Druid crouched in and stroked Sola's head, he shook the pull with joy.

"But why are you here? Could it be this Sarpent that made that hole?

Mr. Druid is standing up and checking Mr. Sarpent with some distance open.

You can see the warmth if you touch your body, but you can only speak so much more than you can.

"Mr. Sarpent! Mr. Sarpent!"

My voice echoes through the cave.

But it still doesn't work.

Is he dead?

"Ivy, the part under your face! It's moving."

Looking in the direction Mr. Druid points, he does move up and down.

"Alive?

"Oh, it'll be fine because it's a steady breath"

"Good."

"But why can't you wake up?

I do speak from so close, but there's no sign of waking up.

I wonder what's going on with Mr. Sarpent.

"Hmm?"

Mr. Druid is looking back on the path he's just taken.

"Shit. It could have rained out."

"What?"

Hurry up to the entrance to the cave and I heard a patter and rain.

Besides, it sounds like a lot of rain because of the noise.

The wind coming in all the time is so cold that it can't be compared to earlier.

"Don't get cold in here, let's go back"

"Yeah."

Where Mr. Sarpent is, the cold should rise because it's behind the cave.

If it doesn't keep raining, it'll be fine.

If it keeps raining, we need to go back to the village even if we can't.

My body trembled when I thought it was going to hit that cold rain.

"I can't help it if I'm in a hurry, let's have a little tea and take a break"

"Yeah, let's do that"

Let's just calm down.

Find a stable location and prepare a glass.

Turn the water served in the pan into hot water with red demon stone.

My magic power is too small to activate the Demon Stone, so I'm afraid I have to have Mr. Druid do it.

One day the amount of magic, won't it increase?

Add the tea leaves to the hot water and place them slightly, and when the tea leaves are filtered with tea broth, they are finished.

"Go ahead, Mr. Druid"

"Thanks"

"How was it?

While brewing the tea, Mr. Druid was checking Mr. Sarpent's entire life.

"I didn't see anything unusual about this, and I don't think I'm hurt."

Is there no injury, that's good.

I'm just anxious not to wake up.

Don't have a bad feeling about it either.

"What can you think of from Mr. Sarpent's condition?

"Right, sick, not injured. Or maybe someone's sleeping."

Sleeping?

That's kind of scary. That.

The feeling of anxiety is calmed by a slow cup of tea.

"Hmm? Isn't it strange to be sick?

"That's right. If I was sick, I don't know why I stopped Sora from approaching me. Maybe if I touched it, I'd say the illness would shift, but I have Flem. I don't think there's anything wrong with Flem's potion."

Does that mean you're likely to have been put to sleep by someone's power?

An adventurer with the power to sleep a demon with as much magic as Mr. Sarpent?

But I don't know what it means to be trying to keep anyone away.

Or can someone with surgery get close?

"Mr. Druid, is there some kind of magic that only the person who put Mr. Sarpent to sleep can get close to?

"Hmm? Oh, I see. Sure, but that must have been magic that needed a magic formation."

Magic formation?

I look around Mr. Sarpent, but I can't find a magic formation or anything on the ground.

Is it possible that it's under Mr. Sarpent because of his large body?

"Is there anything about being Mr. Serpent and not seeing the magic formation?

"No, that's not it. Because the magic team needs to be bigger than the things they want to do."

I see.

Then you won't be hiding.

Again, look around Mr. Sarpent, but I can't find anything that looks like a magic formation.

"You don't know what caused it."

"Oh, I'd like to talk to someone..."

Mr. Sarpent is the patron saint of this village, perhaps.

But if I'm wrong, I could get hunted.

If I were a patron saint, that would be tough.

"I don't know what to do."

Mr. Druid also thinks with a puzzled look.

"Puffy ~"

Looking in the direction in which Sora sounded, Sora and Flem playing with the black sphere.

You're close.

Is that it?

Look around the cave, realizing that Ciel is not here.

Then I was in front of Mr. Sarpent's face.

"... Ciel?

"Is that it?"

Mr. Druid noticed, too, staring at Ciel.

"It's too close, isn't it?

"Ah."

I saw Ciel chong his nose on Mr. Sarpent's nose.

At the next moment, fluttering and creepy magic erupts from the ground.

"Ciel!

The moment the magic erupts, Ciel flies back and forth.

It looks like it's a piece of paper and I didn't have to get caught up in that creepy magic.

"Good."

But what is it?

This magic makes my skin tingle and ache even though I haven't touched it.
