8 Forest of the Lost

“A forest of the lost…?”

“Yes This forest has been called ‘a forest of the lost’ froo”

If I summarise Cynthia-sans story, it’s like this

They appear without any regular pattern One day, a noret lost inside like a labyrinth, turning into ‘a forest of the lost’

Inside, vision groorse, and even walking straight head leads to getting lost Also, without ic tools to point the way, it’s hard to return Apparently experienced adventurers can explore without anya normal forest after 2 to 10 years

“Ah… that’s why I couldn’t meet anyone”

“Yes There was an official notice frouild, so people normally don’t set foot here This forest is relatively safe, so there are no merits for veteran adventurers to explore or hunt here

Then, that means This ‘forest of the lost’ will turn into a normal one at the latest in 8 years Or it could turn into a normal one tomorrow… that’s what it means

“……We were training… hunting right outside this ‘forest of the lost’ Then ere attacked by hard wolves and ended up here while running away”

“I see… that h But do you know the way back…?”

““Ah!””

To ot!

I see… they don’t know their way back However, I also don’t know you know…?

“Ah, it’s alright… I have a ic tool for communication Definitely, onii-sama will come for us…”

“Yes I’ll try contacting him now…!”

Cynthia-san took off her necklace with a red stone and gently clasped her hands over the stone Then, a red light flooded out, with the necklace shi+ning red in response

Then, a panicked voice came from the necklace

“Is it Thia…!?”

“Are you safe…!? You didn’t return even after the pro happened to you!”

He er sister

For so a younger sister is a natural thing to do I thought ofin my heart

“We were chased by hard wolves into the forest of the lost…… But weat our benefactor, Hinami-san’s house”

“Yes, I’…”

Then the conversation ended

But it looks like he’s co

“I just activated the transic tool Onii-sama will be here soon”

“Thank you”

But I have no idea how fast he will come… By the way, Cynthia-san also said that she doesn’t know In a normal forest, it will take about 2 hours by horse At the fastest, by evening… I guess Then I think I should prepare dinner…? They ate all the donuts deliciously after all

Right According to the inforar’s ar is 9:1 So nobles can have them, but commoners don’t havethe past 2 years!

“Ah, right Cynthia-san, your robe… I’ll wash it, so why don’t you head to the bath?”

“Eh?”

I unintentionally asked back A bath isn’t that surprising… right? Right? To ht h-class inns have baths I-I see… But then, how do normal commoners do it? Shower? It’s a mystery But I don’t want the more

“Mn, please, by all means!”

“Thank you very much!”

I handed her a bath towel froave her the clothes I wore 2 years ago, which are a little small for me now By the way, there are many lovely clothes with frills and they are replenished arbitrarily When I asked God why that was, the reply was, “My taste”… Mn, how peaceful

While Cynthia-san was bathing, I headed to the rooftop to do the laundry

There are many herbs in the vases, as well as cute flowers It’s a rooftop, but for some reason I could add a well so I don’t have troubles atering the plants or doing the laundry “I’ll help,” Kiruto-san said and came up, then let out a voice of adh, you can’t see everything but quite a bit of the forest can be seen froer thancan be seen

“A…! To think you can look at the forest of the lost like this”

“Very!”

While heading out to dry the robe, I watered the plants too Next tohis expression, rather than curious, he felt more amazed, I think?

“What’s wrong…?”

“……This is a! There are this many herbs!”

Eh! Are herbs rare…? Mn, there are only 3 kinds of herbs at ht not be a lot of herbs in this world

After I finished watering the plants, I headed to the garden to prepare to make food Kiruto-san said that he’ll help too, so ent out to the garden together to harvest vegetables

“……Eh?”

“Nn?”

When we arrived at the fields to harvest the vegetables, for some reason Kiruto-san was very surprised and stood still on the spot Could it be that he’s surprised at the vegetables this time… If it’s that, I don’t kno to explain it Then, noticing aze, Kiruto-san explained excitedly

“Medicinal plants are growing…”

“No… that’s not it The cultivation of those medicinal plants… are said to be iathered in the forests and row ather them from forests”

“Also… the herbs too are hard to grow, that only high-ranking cherow them Hinami-sama… who are you?”

My I was surprised the most ever since I came to this world

You can’t growcultivated very norrasses, blue-grasses… these four kinds are groell in the garden There weren’t any that really withered either… they were growing very norreat bulk Of course, same with the herbs…!
