Chapter 13: The Witch Gets Separated from Her Companions

“This is the path to the next settlement,” Althea told us.

“We still have a long way to go before we reach the heart of the forest,” Fauzard commented.

As we followed Althea on our flying carpet, I took in the scenery of the forest around us.

“The elves really put a lot of care into looking after their forest,” I said.

“The air is so yummy here!” Teto added.

Despite the profusion of trees, there was still more than enough light passing through the foliage. The elves must’ve been thinning it out to let some light through. As a result, the trees were all strong and imposing. We would occasionally spot wild critters running between the boughs, which made me feel a sense of peace, and the cool, crisp air invigorated me.

“The villagers take care of the forest around their settlements,” Althea explained. “But if you venture even just a bit outside of the animal trail, you’ll end up in wild, virgin forest.”

“If things are still the same as before, the virgin forest is the monsters’ territory. I would advise you not to venture near those parts unless you know the forest like the back of your hand,” Fauzard warned us.

Apparently, the wilder parts of the forest had evolved into demon dens over the years. From what Althea told us, the elves constantly monitored the main path, meaning that no intruder could trespass unnoticed. This forced any uninvited individual to go through the demon dens, where they ended up as monster fodder more often than not.

“I see... That’s a pretty straightforward, low-effort way to funnel outsiders in through the ways in you’ve prepared for them,” I remarked.

“And fewer entry points means less need for guards!” Teto added.

From what I had seen up until now, the elves’ kingdom seemed to be a bunch of settlements linked together by a main road like dots on a map rather than a standard nation. This meant that you absolutely needed someone to guide you through the forest, lest you end up lost in the woods.

“There are only three entry points to our kingdom. One is in the Gald Beastman Nation, the other in Lawbyle, and the last one in the Sunfield Empire,” Althea said.

I let out an impressed hum and made small talk with Althea for the rest of the day.

At night, we would camp outside, and mythical beasts would sometimes come over to beg me for pets and mana.

Althea told us that the second and third settlements counting from the fortress were part of the forest’s “middle stratum”, which also happened to be the place where a lot of mythical beasts had their territory. This explained why so many of them came to beg me for mana, which I gladly gave to them by petting them on the head and the back of the neck.

“You’re all so cute. But we have to go now, I’m sorry,” I said when it was time for us to resume our trek.
