Miscalculation
Then a week goes by.
"No, nothing happened."
Every day Tenrei goes out late at night to look around the lake, but nothing happens.
"If nothing's happening, isn't that good enough?"
Rion is right, but...
"If we go back like this, the incident will happen again."
Right
I think it's safe to assume that they're hiding out of fear for us.
"Gnununu..."
Tenrei has been on edge lately.
"…Spread"
"Why?"
"Okay, let’s spread out!"
With that said, Tenrei ran out of the tent.
"Eh? What are we going to do about this situation..."
And so the day ends without things getting any better.
------------
"…I didn't think Lavinia was edible as well."
I murmured that alone in front of the lake at night.
Inside the tent, everyone is enjoying tea time after dinner.
This is surprisingly addictive
The seed pods are picked while they are still young, boiled and eaten.
The taste is a bit grassy, but it is thick and soft, with a meat-like texture.
And Wince had carefully brought spices including fish sauce.
How can I say it... juicy? I was able to enjoy a delicious dinner.
Hmm
This makes me want to eat rice
...Is there one? In this world
I once processed barley for bread into something like rice, but it turned out to be too elastic.
"Maybe I'll look for some when I can afford it?"
I feel like if I ask Lola's people, they'll probably find something for me.
But I can't burden the Empire with that.
I think we should do it in a small way, within our personal capacity.
"Hmm?"
As I was thinking about that.
I saw a shadow in front of me.
No, it was too far away to be right in front of me.
The exact opposite of the lake I'm at.
Approximately 50km in distance
Probably only me and Wince would be able to see it if they didn't use any tools.
And in its hand was a blade of some kind.
"Why is that person smiling?"
The person looks so happy that it is about to start dancing.
It's a little unsettling to see a person like that at night when there's no light and without a torch.
Wince and the others... still sipping tea.
"Let’s go!"
I can't just jump 50km in one go.
I decided to take a detour along the lake towards the figure.
