Franz's Home S
"I did some shopping in town and took a break. Mofurun, too."
"You must be tired from the round trip to town. Take a rest."
"I will."
Considering the long distance we ran, fatigue was expected. I let Mofurun rest without any further activities. I lay down at home.
After a short rest, I wasn't feeling sleepy. However, Sui seemed anxious.
"Franz-sama, please wake up."
"Sui? What's wrong, are you hungry?"
"I am, but it's not about food. Something important has come up. A creature in the farmland is complaining about you."
"What? A creature! That's troublesome. Let's go immediately!"
Just when I thought Sui had awakened me, it seemed a creature had come to the farmland with complaints. I couldn't recall ever having a dispute with any creature.
Perhaps it was the Fenrir Tribe's Mofurun who had arrived. With Mofurun and Sui, I went outside the house.
"Are you the owner of this house?"
"Yes, I'm Franz. I'm an alchemist. This is my territory. It's problematic if you enter without permission."
The creature was a large tree-like being, larger than a Trent.
"You entered without permission."
"I did?"
"Franz-sama, this creature is different from ordinary ones. I can sense its magical power. It's a considerably high-level creature. Be cautious."
"Do you know anything about it, Sui?"
"I don't know much, only that it's a tree creature. I'm not knowledgeable about creatures."
Sui may not have known, but she warned me that it was a powerful creature.
"What about Mofurun?"
"I know about it. Master, please don't get involved with this tree creature. Because it's a tree spirit, a Dryad."
"A spirit? Dryad?"
I had heard of spirits but had never seen one. By the way, Dryad was a name I heard when I was in the hero party.
Gratias had been searching for spirits, but their whereabouts were unknown.
"Hehe, why do you know me? Not many should be familiar with me. I've been in this land for a very long time. The reason you know is clear. It's your scent—it smells like a wolf. You're from the Fenrir Tribe, aren't you?"
