Hey, aren't they a little short?

'Well, last time I was here, there were so many honeybees that it was hard to collect the honey.

Thanks to the warding, the honeybees were able to act safely and were increasing in numbers too smoothly. But now I feel that they're reasonably easy to fly around and act. The reason for this is probably because their numbers have decreased, but what does that mean?

Onii-chan, where's Hachitaro?

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is that he left the ward, right? If that's a nesting kind of thing, that's fine, but if it was done by a monster, I'm not sure I can explain it. But Honeybee and the others aren't too sad, so I think it's okay... Well, if you don't understand, just ask. So I asked Honeybee, who was nearby, to call Queen Honeybee.

I can communicate with Honey Bee, but I'm not sure if it's a queen, a higher species? It's easier to talk about the

(Buh buh buh.)

I'm talking to Queen Honeybee who came over. My sister is nodding yes and no next to me, but you can't understand her, right?

"So you're saying that Master has created a new habitat?

I think. I think I got some new queen honeybees in there.

When I asked him about it, the story was simple. They said they moved half of the house because their numbers increased. There is a flower garden some distance away, and I heard that they have put up a ward there and are living in a new house. Apparently he did it while his grandfather was in the port city. We didn't see him after he came back, so it's only natural that we didn't know about it.

"Hey, let's go over there, shall we?

That's what makes me want to go to Cruz when I hear about it. However, I'd like to go too. I don't know much about it because I let them go free except when they come to get honey, but Honeybee and the others are my followers.

'But how are we going to get there? I'm sure the monsters around here would be fine, but I don't even know where they are, okay?

I think about Ilya's question. I wonder if there are two ways? Either Honeybee and the others would show me the way, or I would feel the connection to the squires and find them....

But that problem was soon solved. Honeybee is going to send me there. By a secret back road.

A dozen or so minutes' walk later, we reached a new field of flowers. We hadn't seen a single monster before we got here. It seems that the old man had connected the flower fields with a ward, allowing people to come and go as they please. I'm grateful to him for making the flower garden so convenient.

In the flower garden, honeybees were busily collecting honey. I don't know if they were old-timers or newborns, but they stopped for a moment when they saw me and started collecting honey again.

In the flower garden, there were some hives that my grandfather must have made for me, and when I looked closely, I could see someone who looked like my grandfather.

'Ah, it's Master!'

Then he ran toward his grandfather. We followed him and ran toward him.

What are you doing here?

When the old man noticed us running up to him, he looked surprised and then troubled.

Why do you look like that...?
