Deep, deep in the forest, there was a settlement of a race known as the people of the forest
As the name implies, the people of the forest have lived in the forest since long ago, a race which had formed their own unique culture
Sih that they can be reen hair and eyes and the pointed ears characteristic of their race, it can be said there are no uish them
They’re a race which interacts with humans, but it’s different only in this settlement
That’s because it’s where their queen lives
A barrier is set up, and trespassing isn’t permitted by anyone
“So, does support see?”
“It’s troublesome; if they can’t escape the northern forest then it’s the best if there’s enough time for the fast children to run away
In the center of the queen’s forest, there’s a house inside a ree tree where the queen of the forest people is having a talk with a single person
“Really, for someone to make their home in such a remote place”
“And a huic, but let’s not say whom that is Oh well, if there’s you and I they can be saved, though I don’t know if this place will survive”

“A-ah Thank you, I was saved”
The person of the forest has soely high tension, but since it doesn’t change that he is his savior, so his thanks was expressed
“Yea yea So where is your horeat trouble to be shown the so-called secret barrier ic I haven’t found it!”
“Eh, ah, …aah!? The barrier!”
The youngto be rolled up in the hu about his words, but he recalled his job with the single word ‘barrier’, and the base of a tree is checked

“What’s wrong?”
The young man carefully looks around the tree
The hu that conduct
“Th-the barrier’s broken…”
“Hohou! That tree’s the barrier device!”
“Yes…”
Understanding a portion of the barrier, the human’s tension beco , drops his shoulders
The contrasting conversation between the two continues
“So what effects does the barrier have?”
“Recognition obstruction,creatures are unable to reach the point of entering inside the barrier…”
“Hohou! That’s aot excited, excuse o, a considerable nuather in time, are you prepared?”

They’re a fundamentally harmless monster when not harmed
But the people of the forest who always live safely surrounded by the barrier have little of such knowledge; the young ic

The queen shook off her retainer as recoe, and nominated the human as a speech partner
Why the queen did such a thing, it’s because the huic poas noticed
As a last hope, the queen was requesting for the human do be added to the defense
On the other hand, the human demands compensation
