Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Alicia went ashore, dried herself, and laid Slakic and Loppel down in the shade of a tree, and the two pets soon fell asleep together.

At the same time, Xu Zhen took the bottle full of water from Lati and drank it in one breath.

"Ah, it feels like it's been a while since I've been able to spend some time leisurely like this."

“In the middle of the wilderness, it’s either hot or dusty and it’s hard to be quiet. And, another thing, there’s something peaceful about being in the forest.”

After hearing what Lati said, Xu Zhen and Alicia nodded in agreement.

Just then—

"Indeed, sitting down and resting is very important."

The sudden sound startled Xu Zhen and others, and they all turned around to look.

A person wearing a wine-red robe had been standing there for some time. Although his face was hidden by a hood and could not be seen clearly, it was clear that he had a suspicious smile on his face.

Xu Zhen, Lati and Alicia blocked their way, trying to protect Slakić and Lopul who were taking a nap. The red-robed man seemed a little surprised to see them.

“Oh, sorry. Sorry to surprise you. Hehehehe…”

Although it looked like he might be trying to apologize, his overly blatant smile made everything look even more suspicious.

Just then, Lati heard the laughter and seemed to suddenly remember something, and responded: "Master. I remember, I seem to have seen this person before."

"Ah, really?"

"Yes, it was after I left Grandpa's house. He suddenly appeared on the riverbank at the foot of the mountain!"

After listening to Lati's words, Xu Zhen's memory was slowly awakened.

Indeed, Xu Zhen had only met him once. He suddenly appeared in front of him, said something this and that, and then left. He never figured out what was going on, and later forgot about it.

"I did see him, actually. I had totally forgotten about it."

"What a surprise. The color of my robe is so eye-catching..."

"Oh, um... I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I looked so resentful. I'm really sorry. Please don't take it personally."

Just as the man said, despite his very special appearance, Xu Zhen had completely forgotten about him until just now. It was no wonder that he had forgotten since he had only seen him once, a few months ago.

"So, what do you want to talk to us about?" Lati asked with a puzzled look, and the man in the robe smiled meaningfully and replied, "Nothing special. I just happened to see you and said hello."

"Really?" Xu Zhen stared at the man in the robe with distrust.

After all, this was the Lost Forest. It was impossible for a person to come to this place, which was almost the deepest part of the northwest, without getting lost and walk from the entrance.

At this moment, Lati seemed to suddenly remember something and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Um... Is your name Lesak?"

“Oh, do you know me?”

"I heard it from Jacklun." After hearing what Lati said, Xu Zhen recalled some things that happened near the Holy City: "It is true... I have completely forgotten it."

"I just remembered it." It seems that Letty has forgotten it too. After the separation from Courtney and the dispute with Sylvia, it is understandable that she has forgotten these things.

"Well... I really don't have the heart to think about that..." The robed man, Lesak, whispered softly. The sound of wind that just happened to blow in perfectly covered his voice, and Xu Zhen and the others didn't hear it at all.

Lysak turned around and walked away as if turning over his robe. "Well, I'll take my leave now. We may meet again. I look forward to that day."

After leaving these words, Lesak disappeared. He left in the same way as when Xu Zhen and the others met last time, suddenly disappearing without a trace. He had completely disappeared, as if he had never appeared from the beginning.

“He disappeared. Who was that person…?”

“…Who knows?”

Facing the dazed Lati, Xu Zhen stretched and took a deep breath. His expression looked relaxed and it seemed that he was no longer thinking about Lesak.

"It seems like he's not interested anymore." Alicia said with a sigh, and Xu Zhen's eyes widened in surprise: "How did you know?"

"...We've been together for a long time. I can feel unexpectedly..."

“Is that so?”

"Yeah. That's it."

Xu Zhen and Alicia walked towards the place where the luggage was placed while chatting. Lati quietly looked at the backs of the two people, smiled for some reason, and flew after them.

————————————————————

The Fairy Spring was flowing with peaceful times. It was as if the commotion of yesterday was fake, as if nothing had ever happened. Those busy at the spring, and those patrolling or scouting in the forest, all moved in an unchanged atmosphere.

Ross was no exception. He inspected the springs, became a playmate for the fairy children, encouraged the young fairies in training, and improved the stagnant flow of magic. It really seemed like it had always been normal.

Some goblins had noticed, however. Ross occasionally gazed at the spot where the rock pillar had suddenly appeared and collapsed a few days ago. And, since that incident, Ross began to re-study goblin history.

Although many fairies have noticed it, no one said anything because they think they can understand Ross's feelings. The sudden appearance of avoiding communication with humans and unknown abilities inevitably makes people concerned.

This is especially true of the people who brought about these changes, who have built surprisingly good relationships.

"Elder." A young goblin looked up at Ross and spoke in an empty spot in the middle of the spring.

“Has anything changed?”

"No, everything is normal. The spring is what it is. There is nothing to worry about." Ross still looked up and replied calmly. What kind of emotion was contained in it, or if there was no emotion at all, it was a pity that the goblin youth could not understand.

The young goblin said "Excuse me" when he was about to leave, but was stopped by Ross: "Leison. I have something to ask you..."

It was that kind of whisper, but somehow it was so clear. The young fairy Lei Song stopped walking, and Ross asked without changing his posture: "What was her expression when Ku left Quan? Did she look reluctant to leave?"

In response to Roz's question, Lei Song shook his head: "No, I don't feel that way. On the contrary, I think she looks very happy. Ku must like that boy very much."
