All that needs to be said has been said. That was all that was necessary. With such satisfied smiles on them, Sylphy and the others looked relieved as well. "Let's depart. Rudeus-sama please lead the way" "Yes" Anyways, with this we’re contacting the bandits. I will not betray Luke. But anxiety remained. With this conversation, there’s no doubt that Luke is an apostle of Hitogami.
Part 2
Returning to the highway then entering the forest again. I already knew the location of the band of thieves. Enter the forest from a certain mark on a rock, then head straight to the east. The band of thieves in question is located in the east side of the forest. Apparently under a cliff at the foot of a mountain. However, our pace is slow. Since our horse-drawn carriage was disassembled.
Ariel tried to ride a horse at first, but after seeing how high up it was she came down immediately.
Since there is a risk of falling from the horse. We’re moving through an area that’s usually impassable while leading horses. If you clear the way with magic, you won’t have to take a detour. Although in that case, it will be easier for the enemy to track us. However, if we’re fighting against demons on the way, we will leave a trail no matter what. Well I guess we don’t need to care about it too much. Along the way, we rested many times. Because Ariel complained that her feet were sore repeatedly. It’s because she is not familiar with walking through the forest. Fortunately, Ariel did not voice any complaints aside from that. Sylphy repeatedly applied healing magic to Ariel’s feet, and waited for her to catch her breath. "......" There is no conversation in particular. Concerning the Apostles of Hitogami. What made them apostles is the advice given by Hitogami. Luke, Apostle of Hitogami. He has gotten some advice. No doubt about it.
