5-8 Shadow Stalker

Satou's here It's nice to have handy tools, but relying too much on it made you unable to notice the oddness with your own eyes, thus unthinkable mistake happens

This happens in daily life, work and even in another world

◇

Just before Liza and Arisa's night watch duty is over, I see enemies on the map

There are three monsters called Shadow Stalkers Since I've never heard of it, I check their details Level 12, it has [Physical Dae Halved], [Stamina Drain] as race specific skills, if I don't have any ht become formidable enemies It doesn't like they're undeads Their speeds aren't that fast, but they would probably get here in 1 hour The ene type s related to battle to be displayed froht that so my chest for a while but as it turn out, it's Pochi and Ta out ,"Gude~", sounds, sleeping there lying on their bellies

I place theet up

"Ara? Master, are you doing yobai?"

"Are you having trouble sleeping? Master?"

Arisa, whose so held on Liza's arms called me out Liza is probably already sleepy, her voice is ithout power I should let her sleep a little before the enee with you, so it's fine for you two to sleep"

"Is it okay? Isn't the next turn going to be Pochi and Taether with Lulu in earlywhile saying, "Let me sleep on your laps~", but I lift and roll her to beside Lulu Arisa is probably tired too, without co Lulu as a body pillow Lulu's painful expression fro by Arisa is cute too I'e to forcibly shake it off

I continue watching the s to the bonfire It's still 50 minutes before the monsters arrive Since back then, the monsters doesn't increase in number

"I'm thirsty"

Mia who has woken up hands me a water bottle After I receive it she sits besidethe water

"Why?"

A sue

"Why aician?"

"Yes"

"As you can see, there's nothing deep to it"

Likely not satisfied with erous"

"Looks like it, a lot of monsters did come out back in the afternoon"

"Mize and even the others died"

Come to think of it, what's the relation between elves and the rat-men?

"The red-helmet(Mize)-san, do you know him from somewhere?"

"Forest"

"Bornean Forest?"

"Yes"

Connecting the story from the feords of Mia, it seems that the red-hel and surrounded by goblins outside the forest 10 years ago The red-hel taught together with Mia various things by Mia's parent, so they beca was a iven by Mia's parent So it exists, mithril huh

The reason the red-helmet called Mia princess, was probably because of this

"Did you get attacked by the ether with hiles, I understood the rough situation Seems that Mia was abducted froician, and held captive in a ician then forcibly made her to be the "Master of Mazes" with a forced contract cere ician, she was forced to sit in theto Mia, the maze's movement is weak, so she's probably some sort of a key or a catalyst

"Did Mize-san come to help you on theher head When I inquire for ency escape command on the Maze Core when there was a chance at the tiician went back to his rooe" Perhaps, she pushed soe

And then she escaped to the Rat-e and reunited with the red-hele was burnt because of my fault"

Mia painfully said so I hold her shoulder and say, "It's not your fault" to console her In times like this anyone would want to be comforted even if it's just ician who cae as a lesson Those subordinates got disposed by the red helmet and his friends in a counterattack, but there were soers who fell victie, so the red hel to escort Mia todown the ht?"

"Yes"

From then on, it's probably the same as we have seen

Meanwhile, the shadow stalkers are stopping at the site where the flying ants were decimated by Arisa's uniques skills in the afternoon

I should wake everyone soon
