Miss Eisheth, after paying for all of our food and drink, quickly leaves the restaurant. I do the same, and the other succubi tell the restaurant worker to pack our food to go. I thank them as I run after Miss Eisheth with Fie. She's not very fast, so it doesn't take too much effort to run after her while she's talking to the impish-looking demon.

The Dragonewt tribe is angry. Angry and confused because they say that the pregnant mothers of their tribe disappeared without a trace. With nothing solid to go on, it is safe to assume that they were kidnapped, but by whom? As Miss Eisheth explained to me in the restaurant, since they're in a state of anxiety, their minds naturally begin to speculate one thing after another, and somehow they blame Amlethian.

We head to the Adventure Guild as soon as we can. I'm sure Miss Eisheth wanted to find Savel, since he's trusted by the Dragonewt both inside and outside of Amleth. I'm not sure if the Dragonewt have an aristocracy or not, but since all Dragonewt, Dragonborn and Lizardmen respect Savel, it's safe to assume that he can calm down the tribe.

The Adventuring Guild is buzzing with activity as usual. Adventurers are singing praises left and right, telling their glorious tale of defeating monsters, escorting nobles, or simply admiring their technique. A common sight, nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, their eyes are glued to us, especially to Miss Eisheth. Judging from their eyes, they're curious as to what makes a dazzling beauty like enter the guild. Since it would be tedious to ask each of them individually, I simply ask them all where Mr. Savel is, and the man appears. Even my sister is curious as to why I am here, so she starts to join the conversation. Miss Eisheth brings her up to date on the situation. 

"That's strange indeed, but I understand why you're looking for me. It's going to be a long way since Asterion's at work outside the city right now, so I'll head straight there right now itself. Miss Eisheth, could you kindly explain the situation to the receptionist or the Guild Master herself?" [Savel]

"I plan to do just that" [Eisheth].

"Mr. Savel, I'm coming with you! You're staying in the forest, so I'm sure my skill will come in handy" [Diana].

"If you go, I'll follow you, of course" [Dana].

"It will be reassuring to have both of you with me" [Savel].

"I may not be as skilled as Young Lady Diana when it comes to communicating with nature, but, truly despicable if they were indeed kidnapped. An elf is beloved by the forest, so I'll go along" [Elegast].

"Thank you. It's good to have all of you. We should move now. Alice, please tell The Heroes and The Saga that I am borrowing their little sisters" [Savel].

Mr. Savel, Mr. Elegast, Dana, Fie and I move quickly. Along the way, we've suspected the group responsible, of course, but as Mr. Savel and Elegast said, it's too early to speculate without evidence. It might blind us in our search for the truth, but that doesn't mean we should abandon what we've been thinking. 

Of course, as soon as we enter the forest, I begin to communicate with them. I tell the trees, the birds, the ants, the insects, basically any living thing that I can communicate with to help me find the location of the mothers. The forest has agreed to help me. The forest is now filled with the sounds of birds chirping, insects buzzing, and dogs and wolves howling. I can even hear a roar or two. They're all talking to each other, sharing whatever information they can.

"I've seen it several times, it still amazes me" [Elegast].

"I can never get used to this... I will train hard!" [Dana]

"Then I'll train even harder, so I can protect you as well" [Diana]

"You're so sweet!" [Dana]

"Of course I am! I like to eat sweets, so I will become sweeter!" [Diana]

"That's not what she meant, but it's cute, so I'll just brush it off." [Savel]

Since we know their location, Elegast used a spell he said he learned from The Hanging Treant. It's a spell to shorten the distance between two locations using the forest! That sounds awesome! I wanted to learn it too, so I asked him many, many questions, but since it's a difficult technique, he smiled and promised to answer all my questions for next time. Since he said he learned it from The Hanging Treant, I wonder if I can persuade him to teach me as well.

Mr. Elegast said he's nowhere near The Hanging Treant's level, so it doesn't save as much time as he'd hoped, and it uses too much of his mana, but it's still an impressive spell. Somehow I can tell that we have traveled even further away from the city. That does it. I will convince Mr. Elegast and The Hanging Treant to teach me the spell. What should I bring them so that they can be persuaded to teach me? Perhaps I should ask Oreforged what gift would be appropriate for Elegast and as for The Hanging Treant... Sunlight for The Hanging Treant? 

"If it isn't Savel"

"You're just in time!"

"That is Diana!"

"We meet again, these two you don't know are my friends from the Adventure Guild, sorry for the sudden visit, but to get to the point, would you mind telling us what happened?" [Savel]

As soon as we met the tribe, Mr. Savel quickly asked them the question. Given the urgency, the chief among them quickly answered the question
