I Can Speak with Animals and Demons

"Hey, you know what" Fantasy Forest "is?

A warrior-inspired man sitting down suddenly says something like that.

"Forest of Fantasy?

"Yeah, I was gonna tell you this story if the joke didn't get that long."

The man on the strong side tells me, holding the jock in one hand.

- Forest of Fantasy

It is about the Great Forest, northeast of the city of Aether, in the border zone between the Kingdom of Adretto and the neighbouring kingdom of Ellia.

It looks like a forest characterized by large trees that can be seen even from afar, but is it a forest that confuses people? Several adventurers challenged the woods, but no one was able to reach Daiki.

"Wouldn't you be able to follow that tree if you walked around? Is that so much of a woodland?

"Nobody's saying that's the Forest of Fantasy. He's supposed to be headed for Daiki, but when he finds out, he'll be back where he belongs."

"So there's a demon living with special powers or something?

There are demons in this world with special powers.

Individuals who use magic, and demons with powers such as delusion, sleep, paralysis, and poison.

Demons with magical and delusional powers are unparalleled troublesome and are even said to be the best way to escape if you meet them.

Not the kind of demon a bronze-ranked adventurer would take on.

"No, it is true that there are supposedly powerful demons near that forest, but no one has seen such demons."

The power of the hallucinogenic system is mostly caused by eye contact, inhalation of powder, etc.

But there was no such thing in the woods.

"Then why the hell is that?

The man smiled and replied to my whining words.

"Isn't that funny because you don't know that?

At that time, the face of a strong man seemed dazzling.

That even looked like an innocent smile like a child, not forgetting his curiosity as an adult.

"…… you may be able to walk freely through the woods."

I decided to go to the Forest of Fantasy with the man on the strong side.

I've been doing a lot of collecting quests lately, so there are fewer quests.

The pharmacist is too busy to wait because I take a lot of ingredients, whether I make drugs or not.

I was happy that it would be a good experience for my apprentice, but when I saw the bear made under my eyes, I wondered if I was feeling okay.

For that reason, I am leaving the city of Aether for the northeast.

Ask them to take a Merchant's carriage to a village in the northeast, but they're going to be on foot from the way.

I took a look at the northeast direction for once, but I can't see the big tree from right here.

So is that. How big is it if you can see it from here?

Sleep and fall in a swinging carriage as you plunge into yourself, etc.

I'd like to see what a strange forest is like to be on the same path if you notice.

What the hell kind of a phenomenon is happening?

I was originally curious, but it's been a long time since I've been excited like this.

Apparently, I've been inspired by the smile and words of that strong man.

Then the carriage rocked me for a while.

The scenery around is as green as ever. I don't see any animals or demons at all.

I can hear the entertaining conversations of the escort adventurers riding in the back carriage.

I'm very free.

I had too much free time to talk to the bird who stopped on the roof for a while.

However, I didn't feel like killing time, so I asked the birds about the Forest of Fantasy.

"Forest of Fantasy?

"Yes, yes. It's like a forest with a big tree."

As I ask, the bird leans his neck and raises an astonishing voice.

I don't know if I know a forest by that name from a bird or if this individual just doesn't know it.

"From me, all the trees are big."

The bird answers without hesitation as he trims his feathers with his mouth.

That seems to be true even from me.

"There's only one big, fat tree out there."

I've only heard it in conversation, too, so I can only pass it on with this much information.

'Cause I've never seen it or been in it.

'Hmmm...... ah! That one! Big, fat tree like that idiot!

But as the bird remembered if the keyword fat hit, the momentum spreads its wings well.

"Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's the woods. I hear it's ahead of us."

I don't know if this is about the Fantasy Forest I want to hear about, but why come here? The only tree that's as big and fat as an idiot should be that forest.

"Uh, that forest? Those woods are nice... lots of water and bait. I go there once in a while."

Answer in a calm voice as the bird narrows his crushed eyes and looks far away.

Heh, is it such a good place? And yet it's too bad no one gets in or anything.

But has this bird ever been in the woods?

I hear no human was allowed in, and did you let him in because he was an animal, or because he could fly in the sky?

I'm not sure yet.

"Yeah, yeah, so?

Even if I wait in silence, I don't have the words to go on, so I hammer and encourage them to go on.

"But it's a rich forest, so there's a lot of monsters."

Uh, that's the same information I heard beforehand.

They have a lot of fierce demons and unusual demons around the forest of illusions.

Even spider-shaped demons and snake-shaped demons. Regardless, I don't feel like I can have a spider or a conversation......

Rumor has it that some people saw a flying horse, but is it true?

Regardless of spiders and snakes, I'd like to see a demon like that.

"Heh, even so, Mr. Bird put him in the woods."

"Yeah? What do you mean?

"I've been in that forest before. There's nobody there."

'Really?

"No matter how much I walk around the tree, I'm going back to the same place. Haven't you ever had a bird like that?

"That's amazing. I've never done that before, have I?

Answer that, the bird walks around the floor with Tokotoko.

Hmm, is it still a phenomenon that only happens to humans?

Maybe if humans go out of the sky just like birds, they will get there?

Well, even if that's possible, it's impossible because you can't fly.

Even if you use wind magic, you will only be able to glide through the sky.

When I'm confused, the bird stops and looks back at me and raises a question.

"Hmm? Nobody's ever been in a forest before, have they?

"Yeah. Yeah, but what's wrong with that?

"But there were humans in that forest?

"Eh? What do you mean -"

I got out and tried to hear more from the birds, but the carriage suddenly stopped causing me to fall ill and my mouth to shut.

'Whoa!? What the fuck!?

"Hey, what? What the hell?"

When I got up to check the situation, I heard a man screaming.

"It's a monster!

Apparently, a demon showed up. How many demons are there?

I'm an adventurer too, so I can fight.

"Demons and shit! I'm sorry, but I'm getting away!

"Ah! Hey!

When I found out the demon had appeared, the bird flew into the sky with a rustle before my still voice could be heard.

He wanted to hear more about the conversation. What the hell is this annoying demon who interrupted me at such a good time!

"Mr. Adventurer! Please!

Using the merchant's voice as a signal, these carriage escorts, the adventurers, grabbed the weapon from the carriage in the rear and jumped out of nowhere.

I got off the carriage because I was concerned, too, and worshipped the annoying demon.

He showed up before us.

"Isn't this the Servel Tiger!?

He was a famous sabel tiger for perseverance.
