Soon the scouts look around, some even start to walk forward to see their other markings but their leader says “ Don’t disperse, and don’t move too far from each other!”
The leader already brandishing his sword and this makes the others ready to fight!
But what he do next was rather surprising, the leader cut a branch on the tree and it was easily cut like a normal branch.
“Don’t move too far from each other, it's better to stick as close as possible! Come with me!”
And next, he gather some dried branches and leaves while passing them toward his people after all people at leave have some branches and leaves he gathered them into one and start to make fire!
The smoke starts to rise and he hopes that people outside can see them! He can see the smoke rise toward the sky from here but he believes that if it was what he thinks this smoke will be just a futile attempt!
....
From the outside, Rose already furrow her brow! She just send them to scout a bit but until now they have not even come back!
Not even any signal can be seen…
Yes from outside there is no smoke at all!
This makes Rose want to send people to explore but then decided to stop this thinking.
She sighs and waits for a few more times.
And sure enough, they wait for a long time and nothing happened, even a normal adventurer can tell something wrong!
This time Rose can’t help but need to decide! In the end, she wants to send people to search for them!
But it was rather hard to do….
No people want to take that much risk but if Rose doesn’t send someone out they will think that 'What if it was them that lost over there?' they indeed got paid and it was their job just feeling was still some part of humanity so it is not weird if they feel sad if they are just being abandoned, for any reason…
And for every company a reputation was important! It was fine if they die on the battlefield as it was their job, but if they lost when they do scouting… and their higher-up just let them be without any effort… they will not want to sign a contract with said company! so this thing was a really big burden for Rose...
But Garen thinks about something else, he can’t help but come to his sister, “Let Anne and Lila test the water first.”
This made Rose a bit burdened as it was their high-ranked adventurer that will come inside and maybe lose...
But soon she remembers something and just nods.
It was that summoned creature can be unsummoned! So if there is any dangerous thing then they will just retreat, right?
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
But Garen doesn’t know if this is possible or not! It is true that as long as they are summoned into this world once he can unsummon and summon them with just his will but he doesn’t sure if there is something that can make this impossible to do.
So he let them walk slowly, seeing their high-ranked adventurer was the one that was being sent out, the normal adventurer was a bit worried about this but still something inside them feel relief….
Soon Lila and Anne were walking inside that forest, Garen can still feel their connection and they continue forward slowly…
And after some time he can still feel this connection so he sighs in relief and nods toward Rose.
Seeing this Rose sighs too and just waits for them to come back…
Lila and Anne walk slowly, when they come inside the forest Anne took the front while Lila is in the back.
Anne walk carefully and look around cautiously, this feeling make her remember something…
“this feeling familiar..” Anne can’t help but say.
“yes yes, it is so similar when we explore the dungeon!” Lila can’t help but said this, what's more she feels that there will be a treant that will pop out soon!
And who knows it is not treant but herbs!
This time Lila sees the herb, the red plant that usually she picks up in the forest!
“look! it was herb!” subconsciously Lila come there and pick one!
Anne looks at it too and nods, they have at least this common knowledge as a game character, right?
Soon after their journey was smooth and like in the forest of the beginning they pluck herbs, harvest leather from deer, and kill treant!
Yes, that log-like monster was killed by them.. or rather burned to ashes by Lila….
Soon after they do some rounds of exploration, pick herbs, and continue their routine!
But it was a coincidence that Lila was plucking some herb when she heard a voice!
Soon what she found was a group of people…..
It was their scout!
The young scout even starts to sweat “Did I get so nervous that I see our high-ranked adventurer plucking some herbs…. we already walk so long but have not found anything!”
The middle age leader soon smack his back “Now did they still there ?”
The young man was in a daze and nodded.
This makes the middle age man sigh
Lila and Anne look at them and Lila even cheerfully says “We found them!”
Hearing this sound the scout team sighs in relief…
But soon the young scout blink “Wait! Doesn’t it mean we are all trapped here !?”
Hearing this Lila only says “What do you mean trapped? we just need to walk that way!” Lila point in some direction.
But seeing where she point the young man was in despair as it was where they come from!
“What! You don’t believe me ?” Lila can’t help but displeased…
The young man quickly changes his expression into a smile “ uhum no no! You are an expert so of course you can find the way…. “
Lila can’t help but pout “Hum!” of course as she uses a mask no body sees her pout and only make a hum sound…
The young man can only sigh in his heart, ‘This expert act like a kid..' but considering their strange ability with their strange side effect maybe this was not bad…
Soon the whole scout group can only follow these two girls as they are much stronger than them and they have this tiny hope, what if they really come out?
So with that, they start their journey back which makes them baffled a bit…
They see these two girls pick up weird plants, wood laying around… and even a deer? did their eyes play any tricks on them?
Furthermore, these girls pick so many things but their appearance remains the same... they don't know where this girl stores these things, but seeing that even a wood can't leave any trace on this girl baffles them!
When these girls pick up something all they see is them pushing it somewhere and it's gone....
The middle age man can only sigh “What do you look at? it not weird for an expert like them to have a storage bag, it was expensive….”
Hearing this they can only nod, still, they can’t describe how the deer that was being killed by them suddenly turn into leather with a flash...
Seeing these girl's expressions like it was a normal thing maybe it was them that had never seen the world...
With that they keep walking and what happened next was they came out!
Rose can see this group of people being led by two girls, she can’t help but sigh in relief….
The other adventurer was amazed by this, it seems these two girls are super experts, they not only know how to fight but rescue too!
The scout group was so glad that some of them were in tears! Only they know how hard they try to look for a way back…..
Soon the middle age scout comes toward Rose and says “Thank you for sending them to help…. I don’t know why but it seems we fall into something similar with ‘that’ forbidden place…”
Hearing this Rose frown her brow and tell him “Alright it was only similar but to be safe we will pass this forest and try to look for another direction!”
The middle-aged man nods, and they rest for a moment so they can be fit to fight any monsters before they begin to move!
after some time they start to continue forward! they pass the forest area and look for another direction and keep moving straight.
But Garen hadn't realized that a panel had appeared on his phone, reporting that Anne and Lila had finished exploring a dungeon and discovered 7 wood, 4 herbs, and 2 leather!
Garen continues with the other adventurers and walks much further from this forest area, strangely there are a few monsters near this forest.
They did not meet any Cowman here and only occasionally meet one or two, and yes it was not one or two groups but one or two Cowman!
Rose does not even need to freeze them, Lila and Anne already kill them!
Still the farther they went from this forest they start to meet group after group of this Cowman!
