Chapter 239: 242

Chapter 242 - Encounter

"Damn it. I fucked up. Kyle, reply to me!"

『Don't do that, Ars. Don't shout for nothing』

『What, Thanatos? Kyle is missing. We've got to find him』

『Calm down. What you're doing right now is totally unlike your normal self. Kyle may be little, but he's still a man. He can take care of himself』

『Don't be silly. Kyle has never been in a fight. Besides, we never know when a tree is going to attack us again. Let's find him quickly!』

『Again, calm down, Ars. If this forest is really trying to kill us, it wouldn't suddenly stop moving as it did right now. The forest is quiet now because it has achieved its goal』

『.... Which is...? Are you saying that the trees in the forest attacked us in order to just single out Kyle, or something, Thanatos?』

『Yeah, that's right. In the first place, the other party was calling out to Kyle alone from the beginning, wasn't he? They wanted Kyle to come alone, didn't they?"

『Sure, but ... who would do that? Who or what the hell is in this forest? And still... just because we couldn't hear the voice doesn't mean anything』

『I don't know who is in this forest, targeting us, but we also cannot do anything reckless. Just think through everything first』

　The trees in the forest that had been relentlessly attacking Thanatos and I earlier stopped moving.

　By that time, Kyle had disappeared.

　He seemed to have run somewhere of his own volition, but I doubt that this was based on normal judgment.

　He was being guided by a voice that we could not hear.

　That's why I was shouting so loudly to find Kyle right away.

　But there was someone close at hand who calmly reminded me of some things.

　Thanatos.

　When Thanatos saw that the trees had stopped moving, he immediately changed from his Titan form back to his normal size and approached me.

　I was so upset that he calmly told me to calm down.

　I was a bit peeved and yelled at him, but his calm response helped me to regain some of my composure.

　So I took a big deep breath and cleared my head as I regained my breath.

　I decided to think about the meaning of the words that Thanatos had pointed out to me.

　There is something unidentified in this forest.

　And it kept calling out to Kyle.

　It kept saying, "Come here," or something in a voice we couldn't hear. At least, that's what Kyle told us a bit after our conversation about how he could hear things.

　Then, on our way there, Thanatos and I were stopped, and Kyle was the only one who followed the voice to its owner.

　I see.

　So, as it turns out, Kyle was the only one who went deeper into the forest, just as the unidentified voice had hoped.

　But what does it matter now that I know that?

　If Kyle is going to be used to feed the tree roots, I will be inclined to reduce this forest to ashes.

"Nn? What is this?"

　While I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt something.

　However, it was nothing harmful.

　It was not a gaze from somewhere I did not know where it was coming from, but a presence that I had felt many times before.

"So you followed me all the way here?"

　The owner of the presence came to me and perched on my shoulder.

　It was a bird.

　But it was no ordinary bird, nor was it one of those mamono birds that live only in these woods.

　It was a Barcan flying Familiar, created by Billy; that I knew very well.

　There was a piece of botanical paper wrapped around its feet which I saw while it perched on my shoulder.

　I removed the paper and read it.

　It seemed that Gran had sent a letter to us in distress.

　The letter asked us where we were.

"Well done, Gran. Now, this little guy can track Kyle down."

　But I didn't feel like responding to that letter when I got it.

　Rather, I had other things to do first.

　That was to track down Kyle.

　It would be very difficult to chase after Kyle, who had gone through the forest, now that I had lost sight of him.

　However, with the help of this Familiar, it would be possible.

　It can fly to its owner based on scent.

　And Kyle is holding the Nine-tailed Sword that I entrusted to him.

　If I can get the Familiar to track the sword that has my scent on it, it will be able to find out where Kyle is.

　With that in mind, I ordered the beast to tell me the direction in which Kyle was.

　It flapped its wings over my shoulder, then slowly flew in the direction Kyle had run, matching our walking speed.

『Ars, something's coming』

『Etto? What is it this time? Is that the owner of the Gaze?』

『...... No. I can sense it. The thing is something else. I have a bad feeling...!』

『It's true. ....... I hear a noise over there. Hey, Thanatos. It's getting closer and closer』

『This is not good! He's aiming at us, Ars!』

　The Familiar was leading me toward the direction where Kyle would be.

　Suddenly, Thanatos stopped and issued a warning.

　Something is coming.

　I sensed it a little later than he did.

　In the distance, I sensed a presence that seemed to be something ominous.

　It was coming toward us.

　And it was making a very loud noise.

　What is in this forest, coming one after another?

　I was thinking that when it got to us.

　A monster, its body clad in jet-black mana that was hideous.

　That appeared in front of us.
