Dropped into Another World…

-Entor Kingdom’s Knight Commander’s POV-

「Break」

I sat down on a nearby rock to make sure the knights around me were taking a break.

A little further away, there is the Emperors Kingdom’s former slave.

-0-

Last summer, slaves from Emperors Kingdom came to our country to ask for help.

-0-

Many people suspected it as a trap but the mages investigated their slave crests.

It was confirmed that the effect of the slave crest had disappeared and the suspicious of being spies were thrown away.

The slave crest is quite powerful and the circumstances of them being released will be investigated.

There, it was discovered that they were hit by the white light in the forest. That white light has been a hot topic in Entor and everyone thought that their release should be related to the white light.

-0-

Even with the efforts of all the mages, nothing was known about the white light.

But now, they have gotten a clue from an unexpected source.

The excitement of the mages was great…no, they were scared.

-0-

The slaves were once again examined in detail.

As it turned out, the white light didn’t come from Emperors.

They had been attacked by the white light while trying to investigate.

However, they still didn’t know what the white light was.

In order to find out, a major survey of the forest was decided.

We are now conducting regular surveys to report any changes in the forest.

Also, about the reported white light.

I look at the forest.

It has definitely changed.

「Commander, monster!」

A monster appeared nearby.

It’s big.

Everyone immediately prepared for battle.

「It’s not moving.」

That’s strange.

Why isn’t it attacking us?

Is it only here to observe us?

Is it trying to catch us off guard?

The stalemate continues.

I look closely at the monster, especially its eyes.

….does it have intelligence?

But there’s no monster like that in the forest right now.

-0-

Let’s give it a try.

My fingers get cold from nervousness.

「I apologize for the disturbance. We only like to check the forest a bit.」

The knights around me got a little noisy but it can’t be helped.

There’s no point in doing what I have done in the forest now.

However, those eyes are bothering me.

In the past, the kings of the forest were defending their own territories at various parts of the forest.

They were intelligent and had good relationships with beastkins and elves.

I have elven blood in my veins so I’ve lived for a long time but I’ve never actually seen any of it.

I’ve only heard stories from my father. He told me about it many, many times.

Whenever I met a monster, I had to check its eyes.

-0-

I heard the monster saying “grrr”.

I tightened my grip on my sword.

However, the monster did not do anything and disappeared into the forest.

「It worked?」

Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at the place where the monster had disappeared.

Was it an underling of the kings of the forest?

If so, does that mean that the kings of the forest had regained their power?

「C-commander…t-that」

「Calm down. I’m not sure about it yet. We have to look at the situation a little more.」

Reviving the forest was thought to be hopeless.

However, this should serve as hope, isn’t it?

I need more proof.

「When in the forest, don’t make too much noise. Once things settle down, let’s start investigating.」

—Scene Change—

-0-

The forest is changing as expected.

The influence of the evil eye has considerably diminished.

In addition, we found countless rivers between the trees which are said to be blessings of the forest.

I’ve been in this place and there was no river here several years ago.

「Ah-AHHHHHH」

「Shut up! We’re in the forest so be quiet!」

「t-t-the-there….」

That’s my vice commander. I want to punch him.

I turned my gaze in the direction my vice commander was pointing….

I did my best to not scream.

-0-

Phoenix!

-0-

Flying with bright burning wings.

I’ve seen its picture before so there’s no doubt it’s real.

That’s a phoenix.

「Report back to the kingdom at once!」

The mages prepared the message.

The kingdom will be informed soon.

I had my doubts about the forest investigation but now, they’re all gone.
