e able to hide and they passed by.
Today as well, we noticed them early, so we were hiding, but we realized that they were different from the usual adventurers.
This was because it seemed as if there was only one person.

「Is it one person?」

「Probably.」

「I don’t think this area is dangerous, but it’s rare for someone to come here alone.」

Me coming to the forest for the first time was an exception, but normally, few people would come because they were not familiar with this place.
Even so, for those who were by themselves, they would normally harvest around the main pathway where there were a lot of people.
That’s why, it was unusual for a person to be on the outskirts by themselves.

「What should we do?」

「As usual, let’s hide and let them pass by.」

「Understood.」

We erased the traces that we left behind and decided to wait until they passed by.
However, this person, for some reason, was walking in our direction.

(Oi, aren’t they coming this way?)

(They’re coming straight over.)

(Do we move?)

(It might be too late.)

「O~i, is someone there?」

As we were hesitating on whether we should move or not, the mysterious person stopped in their tracks and called out to us.

(What should we do?)

(The other side is only one person and we need to answer.)

(It seems that they’ve noticed us.)

(Then I will go out.
Cruz-kun and the others, if anything happens, help me.)

(Leave it to us!)(Be careful.)(Woof!)

As a result of our discussion, I gave them a reply.
This was because I was usually in charge of the negotiations.
The others made preparations in case I was attacked.

「I’m here~, who is it~.」

I spoke as I came out of my hiding spot.
If I was too loud, monsters might come over, so I needed to be careful.

「Aah, great.
I want to talk to you about something, is that ok?」

Saying that, the one who had appeared was a bear.
