Night quietly comes...

In this world completely shrouded in darkness, all signs of life seem to have been erased, and even the vast forest that releases vitality cannot escape the engulf of darkness.

The night was completely coming, and Noah also came to the entrance of the forest that was swallowed by darkness at this moment. He looked at the vast forest in front of him and sighed in his heart.

If possible, Noah really doesn't want to perform any mission to disperse ghosts at night.

Although Noah is not afraid of any ghosts, it doesn't mean he likes ghosts.

Therefore, in the face of ghosts who do not know whether they are considered creatures, even if they do not know whether they exist in detail, Noah hopes to perform this task during the day, at least it will be much easier in his mood.

Unfortunately, the appearance of Strauss and siblings disrupted Noah's plan.

To be honest, although the request of Strauss and siblings was a bit unreasonable, Mira was right. For Noah, who is a magician of "Fairytail", even if he gave up this commission, it would not be a big deal. At most, he would just go back to the guild to change the commission.

Didn’t Makarov also say that if the task cannot be completed, then there is no need to force it, just give up directly?

Strauss's siblings seem to have some reason to need this commission. If it were a different situation, no matter how arrogant Mira and the timid Elfman, or Lisanna, the cute little girl, Noah would not mind giving the commission to them.

However, this is Noah's first job in the true sense.

If he encountered setbacks in his first job and had to give up the task, Noah would inevitably feel lost, and even lose confidence in himself, not to mention that he has not encountered any setbacks in having to give up the task now. It was just that a few people came out and said they wanted to grab their job.

What's more, with that attitude.

Looking back, he glanced behind him and confirmed that Mira, Elfman, Lisana, and sisters had not caught up. Noah carried his own strip bag and walked into the forest.

...

The forest at night is very dangerous.

For more than a year in Magnolia, Noah ran into the forest almost every day, going there to exercise his magic control and sword skills.

Therefore, Noah also knows how dangerous the forest is at night.

Not to mention anything else, many truly dangerous monsters only move frequently at night to find prey.

Coupled with the limitations of factors such as terrain and vision, the forest at night is often very beneficial to monsters who are used to these, but on the contrary, it is very unfavorable to humans.

Fortunately, this forest is not like the forest of Magnolia. There are monsters everywhere, and at best they are some beasts.

There is a chance that monsters will appear.

But the monsters in this type of forest are generally foreign, with pitifully small numbers and uneven strengths.

After all, powerful monsters can usually occupy a place where they live, and even take up a whole piece of land.

Only weak monsters will be driven out of their habitat or escape, looking for other places.

In this case, the forest is not considered dangerous. Even the villagers of a small village often come to hunt. Noah believes that he is still able to deal with such a forest night.

Currently, the Kingdom of Fiore is in summer.

However, the temperature in the forest is quite shady, making it impossible to believe that it is the hot summer.

At night, the atmosphere in the forest is different from that during the day, as if there is a cold smell out of thin air, making people creepy.

Noah walked deep into the forest while breathing the cold air here, and a feeling of nostalgia arose inexplicably.

No, that's not inexplicable at all.

Because Noah used to visit Magnolia's forests at night.

The scenery of the forest in front of me seemed to be connected to the scene in my memory, which made Noah feel nostalgic.

However, compared with the forest full of monsters in Magnolia, the forest here is undoubtedly much more reassuring.

For example, there will be no smell of monsters that smell extremely pungent.

For example, there will be no bugs that are bigger than humans here that fall from the trees.

For example, there will be no strange birds singing here.

For example, there will be no fist-sized spiders running around here.

At most, you just run into a crawling snake on the road, or an owl hiding in a tree with glowing eyes.

Thinking of these inexplicable things, Noah, who compared the forests of Magnolia with the forests here, began to move around aimlessly without realizing it.

There is no way, saying that there are ghosts in this forest that will make crying from time to time, but the village chief didn't say anything at all.

This is not surprising. After all, Noah told the village chief that he would only perform the mission tomorrow. In that case, the village chief should have made detailed explanations before he set off tomorrow.

When Noah thought of this, she became a little annoyed. She would have gone to the village chief’s house first.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

Just as Noah was immersed in his annoyance and was about to sigh, such a crying sounded from the surroundings, making Noah stunned.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

Before Noah could react completely, the crying voice became clearer and clearer, awakening Noah who was stunned in the spot.

Only then did Noah notice two details.

First, the voice of this crying voice is very tender. It is preliminary to judge that the owner of the voice must not be more than ten years old, and it is a female voice.

Second, in addition to the crying sound gradually approaching Noah, a footstep was gradually approaching in the depths of the forest ahead. It should be the footsteps of the owner of the sound. It is not difficult to imagine that the other party was crying while walking.

"The sound of footsteps?" Noah tilted his head in confusion.

"Isn't it a ghost? It also needs to walk? Will it make a sound of walking?"

With such doubts, Noah held a strip of cloth bag and jumped up, quietly hiding among the trees beside her, with her eyes turning forward, looking in the direction where the crying sounds and footsteps came.

I don’t know how long it has passed, but deep in the forest ahead, a very petite figure slowly walked over and caught Noah’s eyes.

That was a little girl.

He is only seven or eight years old, and is four or five years younger than Noah.

The little girl has a very striking dark blue short hair even in the dark, and is wearing an extremely thin shirt. It will definitely be very cold in the forest at night.

But the little girl was completely unaware of it and did not see her body trembling due to the cold. Instead, she lowered her head, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and kept crying, walking towards her.

"Woooooooooooo...Grantigne...Where are you...so dark here...I'm so scared..."

Listening to the heartbreaking sorrowful cry, watching the little child crying and walking towards him, Noah was really confused.

Is this the ghost?

It doesn't look like it at all, doesn't it?

Could it be that the truth of the crying sounds in the forest is this child, not a ghost?

Wouldn't that mean that during this period, this child has been crying in this forest all the time?

Noah fell silent and walked outside after a while.

The little girl seemed to notice a strange sound around her. The crying stopped abruptly, then wiped the tears from her face, looked around in panic, and then hurriedly hid in the grass beside her.

Seeing this, Noah is basically sure.

Regardless of whether the little girl in front of me was the so-called ghost or not, the other party must have been in this forest for a long time.

Otherwise, how could ordinary children hide when they hear abnormal sounds?
