Chapter 10 Act V - 2

Libet is the representative who bet on the life and death of Remario Company.It is believed that he must have carried a tightly sealed certificate of purchase on the inside of his coat, which was used to purchase gold, and the amount on the certificate was about six hundred rumiones.I believe that the owner of the firm, Remario, will also put his palms together at this moment, and continue to pray to the gods. "You are different from me. You bear the fate of the firm, so of course it will be like this." After listening to what Lauren said, Libet smiled in relief. After that, the group spent a peaceful night and greeted the dawn.

Most people who live in the city think that eating breakfast is a luxury, so most people don't eat breakfast.People who lead a life of travel, though, consider eating breakfast common sense. Therefore, except for Ribet, the other three moved forward while biting the hard-pressed bread and jerky. The group didn't stop until almost noon. At this time, we came to a slightly steep hill, and the road under our feet stretched straight to the east. When we reached the next hill, the road would temporarily bend to the south.The green grass and withered grass in the vicinity are symbiotic, which is perfect for sheep herding.Grasslands continue to extend in all directions.

However, if you stare at the opposite side of the road ahead, that is, to the north, you can see a green forest that is almost black in the distance, and then slowly pull your gaze to the west, you can see a mountain full of rocks and steep slopes mound. The place where Lawrence and his party were going was the gap between the forest and the steep hills, the grassland where the road was not hardened by carriages or travelers. Sandwiched between rocky hills that cannot be crossed even on foot, and gloomy forests that even knights would shy away from, this grassland is the only shortcut to Ramtra. Nothing wrong with it, but it gave off an air of terror.Anyone with a normal mind would never want to walk through this grassland.Looking at the prairie, Lawrence couldn't help but think that Holo's scornful rumors of pagan magicians summoning wolves might be true.

Yet there is no tomorrow without crossing here safely to Ramtra and returning with gold.everyone looks at each other Looking at each other, they nodded to each other as if they had made an appointment. "In case the wolf appears, please don't panic, I will definitely protect everyone to reach Ramtra safely." It was rare for Nora to be so forceful, and her speech reassured everyone, except for Holo, who seemed a little annoyed. Lawrence thought that Holo the Wise Wolf must have something she wanted to express.As soon as Holo caught Lawrence's gaze, she pursed her lips on purpose, and then immediately returned to her usual serious expression.

"May God bless us." Hearing Libet's prayer, everyone followed him and said the same prayer. The weather on this day is fine. Although the wind that blows from time to time will bring icy air across the cheeks, but as long as you are walking, you will not feel cold. Nora on foot and Ribet on horseback walked first, followed by seven sheep, followed by Lawrence pulling the horse and Holo on the horse. After going all the way to the north, the grassland extended to the south, and the hills to the west gradually approached, pushing the group towards the forest.Because they were worried that the horse would step on the stones hidden in the grass and be injured, the group of people tried their best to move towards the forest. When the distance was enough to clearly see the appearance of the dim forest, the level of creepiness also doubled.

Lawrence thought maybe it was superfluous, but he felt as if he could hear the long howling of wolves. "Hey." "Yep?" "Wolf won't come?" Lawrence couldn't help asking Holo in a low voice. "It's too late, it's already surrounded." Even though he knew that Holo was joking, Lawrence couldn't help gasping when he heard it. Holo smiled quietly with a happy look on her face. "We can guarantee your personal safety. But hey, other things are not sure." "Everyone needs to be safe, otherwise it will be a headache."

"We're really not sure about this, because the forest is currently downwind. If there are wolves in the forest, they should have spotted the sheep long ago and are grinding their teeth to feed them." After being told by Holo, Lawrence couldn't help feeling that there seemed to be a sight coming from the other side of the forest. At this moment, Lawrence heard the unique sound of animals running on the ground, looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, and found Enik, whose black hair was blowing in the wind, running nearby. Enik is chasing two sheep that are lagging behind.

"This dog is so smart." Lawrence expressed his feelings without any other purpose, Holo listened, and snorted softly. "Half-intelligence only invites death." "……What's the meaning?" Lawrence originally lowered his voice because he was worried that Libet and Nora, who were walking ahead, would cause unnecessary trouble if they heard the conversation. Now he lowered his voice even more and asked Holo. Holo, who was sitting on the horse, cast an unhappy look, "That dog has sensed our identity." "Is that right?" "Although humans can be fooled by hiding their ears and tail well, it doesn't work with dogs. From the first time we met, that dog showed a look that would make people angry, isn't it?"

Although Lawrence noticed that Enik would look at him from time to time, he didn't know what was going on. "But, there are more annoying things." Her ears moved under her robes, and Holo didn't seem too displeased. "It's the dog's eyes. The dog's eyes said, "If you dare to touch a hair of the sheep, you will bite your throat at any time!" Nah. " Lawrence smiled wryly and said "How is that possible?" Holo gave him a squinting look, and couldn't help being a little intimidated. [There's nothing more irritating than a dog who doesn't know who it is. ] Holo looked away.

Maybe dogs and wolves are as bad as doves and crows. "However, we are the wise wolf Holo, how could we ignore the dog's provocation." Holo said sternly.Looking at her, it's hard not to laugh. However, Lawrence didn't want to make Holo too angry, so he stopped smiling early. "Yeah, that dog is no match for you at all. Whether it's strength, wisdom, or the neatness of its tail, it's far inferior to yours." While Lawrence's words were clearly flattering Holo, the last sentence seemed to have the effect. The ears under the robe were puffed up, Holo's smug expression couldn't be hidden by her serious and false expression, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Well, it seems that you are getting smarter and smarter." Although Lawrence did have the confidence to know how to deal with Holo more and more, of course he didn't say it directly, he bowed his head deeply respectfully. Just as the two interacted in this way, the surrounding green grass became sparse, and the khaki-yellow bare ground was exposed. The hills stretching to the west like a raging sea are in sight. A group of people are advancing on a road that sometimes has to step over tree roots, not a road. Before long, the sound of trees swaying every time a gust of wind blows comes to my ears. But after that, the group only focused on moving forward, and nothing happened even after welcoming the second night. According to Noela, as long as the weather is clear, the second brother will set off and reach Ramtra around noon.In other words, compared with the normal road, the shortcut distance is not only less than half, but even only one-third or one-quarter long. As long as the road is opened here, I believe it will be easier to make the entrance and exit of Ramtra Business.Thinking about the places I passed along the way, and I didn't find that there were so many wolves, it would make people think that a road should be opened. Moreover, if a road is opened here, it should be easier to attack Ramtra.From the standpoint of Rübinghegen, it is logically impossible to allow a pagan town to exist so close.Reubenhagen will allow Ramtra to exist. It may be guessed that Reubenhagen is to get gold from Ramtra secretly, so it deliberately does not open a road here.After all, those in power can always take bribes. Lawrence thought about these insignificant things carefully, and at the same time tasted the wine that Ribet brought out after barely eating the bland dinner.Because he had no one to talk to, Lawrence was flustered with nothing to do. Holo had already finished drinking the wine, and fell asleep leaning on Lawrence wrapped in a quilt.Ribet, who seemed not used to traveling, also sat in front of the fire and dozed off with a tired face. Lawrence turned his gaze slightly, and found Nora who had just woken up under a tree far away from the fire, stroking Enik lying on her lap.Hear Nora say that if you stay too close to the fire.The eyes get used to the light, so if something happens, it will be too late to react. Nora seemed to notice Lawrence's gaze, and suddenly raised her head to look at Lawrence. Then, Nora looked at her hand, and when she looked up again, a smile appeared on her face. For a moment, Lawrence couldn't understand why Nora was laughing, but after he also looked at his hands, he realized that Holo's body had slipped and fell onto Lawrence's lap.Nora should be laughing at the same posture as each other. However, Lawrence certainly didn't dare touch Holo's head.Because the one sleeping on his lap was a wolf more terrifying than Enik. Even so, seeing Holo let out small breathing sounds and falling asleep defenselessly, the temptation to pet Holo and see it became more and more irresistible.As long as Nora caressed Holo as if nothing happened, it should be fine. Libet was already asleep, and Nora was watching over the seven sheep while stroking Enik. Lawrence put down the rough, uneven wooden cup, and slowly reached out to Holo. Although Lawrence stroked Holo's head a few times, he still felt that she was divine. Lawrence's hand touched Holo, and at that moment—"Tsk." Holo looked up suddenly. Seeing Lawrence retracting his hand in a panic, Holo looked suspicious, but her eyes immediately turned to other places. Lawrence wondered what was going on, and realized that Nora had stood up at some point, and beside her stood a man with sharp teeth. Enik. Holo and Nora looked in the same direction.Both of them looked at a dark, obsidian-like forest. "Mr. Lawrence, step back." Hearing Nora say this in a different tone than usual, Lawrence almost reflexively wanted to follow Nora's wishes and retreat, but was held back by something, making him unable to stand up. Lawrence wondered what it could be, only to find that Holo, lying on his lap, reached behind his back and grabbed his clothes. Not only that, before Lawrence protested, Holo gave him a reproachful look and looked back at him.If you use words to explain Holo's eyes, maybe she is saying "Don't listen to that girl, stay behind us obediently]. Holo seems to have a strong sense of hostility towards Nora, if she disobeys her, I don't know how scary it is. Lawrence thought so, so after Holo stood up, he obediently followed behind her. Nora didn't seem to notice Holo's reaction, she was doing her job as good as she could.She shook the bell at the end of the long stick, instructing Enik to run to the sleeping sheep, and after driving the sheep to the fire, she patted Libet on the shoulder who was still asleep.Then, she threw a large amount of firewood, which was in unlimited supply in the forest, into the fire. Nora moved skillfully and appeared very calm.Lawrence couldn't help but think that Nora's timid appearance when facing people might be the same as his own speech becoming hesitant when facing people other than businessmen. Libet, who finally woke up, noticed the tense atmosphere.He seemed to sense the presence of a wolf in front of Nora's and Holo's eyes. Libet stepped back while holding down the chest that must have been the purchase certificate of six hundred Lumiones, and walked around behind Enik, whose tail was raised upside down and his fangs were bared. After the group completed defensive preparations, the surrounding area There were only the disturbed bleating of the sheep, the rapid breathing of Enik, and the crackling of the firewood. There was no movement in the dark forest.The moon is high, and there is no wind.For Lawrence, who was just a businessman, he certainly didn't feel that there was anything in the forest. Even so, no matter whether it was Nora, Enik, or Holo, they still looked in the direction of the forest and didn't move. Perhaps they caught a catfish swimming in a dark pool right in front of their eyes. However, the strange thing is that the long howling of the wolves was not heard at all.Lawrence had also been attacked by wolves many times during his travels. Every time he was attacked, he would definitely hear howling, but now he didn't hear it at all. Therefore, Lawrence couldn't help wondering if there really were wolves in the forest. Time passed slowly like a thick quilt slowly burning. Still no howling.The reason why Lawrence was not overwhelmed by the nervousness was all because of the seriousness of his trustworthy partner Holo. Ribet's reaction, however, appears to have been different.Because in his eyes, Nora and Holo are just little girls. Libet's face, which had been pale until just now, had returned to blood, and he looked suspiciously at Nora and Holo from time to time. At the moment Libet was about to speak, Nora made a move. After Nora stood the long staff she was holding with both hands on her right side, she picked up the horn hanging on her waist with her left hand.Holo looked a little unhappy when she saw her actions, presumably because horns and wolves were incompatible beings. Just as a wolf howls and a bear rubs its back against the bark of a tree, a shepherd uses his horn to assert his presence around him.The dull sound made by the horn has a unique sound quality that cannot be produced by any animal, and that sound can accurately convey the presence of the Shepherd. A loud horn sounded and was sucked into the forest at night.If there are wolves in the forest, I believe the wolves must know that there is a shepherd here who is very skilled. However, there was still no long howling from the wolves, and they remained completely silent. "...Did you drive away?" Although the howl could not be heard, Libet's voice came instead. "I don't know... But at least the wolves seem to be far away." Hearing Nora's unclear answer, Libet frowned.However, seeing Enik stop baring his fangs and start running after the sheep, he seemed at least willing to accept that the crisis was over. Perhaps Ribet's idea is that "animals know animals best". [The wolves here are like this every time, and their long howls are rarely heard.It doesn't look like it's going to attack, it just keeps staring at it. ] Nora's tone seemed to be describing a corpse crawling out of a grave. Remario's young man heard this, and his face turned pale again.Ribet's personality is different from his appearance, and he seems to be quite cowardly. "It's really strange not to howl." Holo murmured, still looking in the direction of the forest.Hearing what Holo, who looked like a little girl and not a shepherd, said so, Libet didn't seem to like it, so he looked at Holo with disdainful eyes. In fact, this is not because Ribet has a bad personality, because many people living in the city are like him.His reaction seemed to offend Holo a little, though. "Maybe it's not a wolf. For example, it's a traveler who died here and turned into a ghost." When Ribet heard this, his face turned pale.Holo is not a good wolf, she seems to see Libet's timid personality. "But, you." After teasing the poor lamb, Herrola tugged at the corner of Lawrence's clothes and said.Seeing Holo speak in a low voice, Lawrence bent his ear to Holo's mouth. "Half of that is true, we have a bad feeling." This trip is not just a business trip.The trip had to reach Ramtra safely and return to Rubenhagen.In case of failure, whether it is to escape or to let fate dictate, Lawrence's career as a businessman will have to come to an end. Although Lawrence looked at Holo reproachfully, "Don't scare me", Holo looked at the forest indifferently. Holo didn't seem to be joking. "Uh...the firewood is running out." Perhaps trying to ease the still tense atmosphere, Nora tried to be cheerful and said.Lawrence listened and agreed.Holo finally looked back from the forest and nodded.Although Libet also nodded, but that move almost seemed to be a gamble. "Then I'll go collect some firewood and come back." Perhaps Nora said that because she was good at seeing things clearly at night, but Lawrence was too embarrassed to leave it to Nora, so he said, "I'll go too." As a result, Holo heard Then he said, "So let's go too." Libet, who had never helped to start a fire, seemed embarrassed when he heard this because he did not understand the steps of starting a fire. "I, I'm here to help too." Ribet said while coughing.He is probably afraid that he will be left alone. Seeing Libet like this, Holo smiled maliciously. After that, everyone gathered firewood in the forest for a long time, and they always felt that they could smell the stench of animals all the time. Was it superfluous? However, nothing happened afterwards, and the night passed quietly like this. When Lawrence saw the street scene in Ramtra, he couldn't help sighing in relief. On the right hand side there is a gloomy forest, on the left hand side there is a grassland approaching by steep hills, as if forced to walk in an endless alley. However, Lawrence's sigh of relief was not because such a journey was over. He had traveled many worse roads.The sigh of relief is because since last night, the scary sight that I sometimes felt has finally disappeared. Because Holo and Norah looked tense along the way, Lawrence knew that it wasn't because he was careless that he felt the terrible sight.In the forest between Rubenhagen and Ramtra, there was indeed something that even the knights were afraid of. Having said that, since the outbound journey can pass through the forest safely, the return journey must also be able to pass safely.Although the forest is indeed a bit scary, Nora has never been attacked after walking through it several times, so as long as Nora's shepherd skills and Holo's strength are relied on, I believe it will be able to pass smoothly. In this way, the only remaining difficulty is to bring the gold into the city. Since it was pointless for a group of people to enter Ramtra in a mighty way, Libet was only allowed to go to buy gold alone. Lawrence was thinking about these things while watching Libet's back. "Hopefully it goes well." Nora's words should refer to Libet's purchase of gold. So far, this has all been considered a legitimate transaction, so buying gold is unlikely to fail.However, if you correct Noerla here, you will be deliberately picking faults. "yes." However, when Lawrence replied, he intentionally showed a business smile. That's because Nora's tone sounded like gossip. At this moment, doubts and deep regret surged up again in Lawrence's heart at the same time. Lawrence wondered if Nora didn't understand the harsh punishment that awaited her if the smuggling failed.When it comes to smuggling gold, the most dangerous person is the shepherd himself. This time the smuggling was to hide the gold in the belly of the sheep and then pass through the city gate.If any sheep regurgitated the cud and spit out the gold, the shepherd would have to accept punishment, and there was no room for excuse. Compared with such treatment, as long as Libet or Lawrence keeps silent, they may be exempted from punishment. The difference between the two is too great. Does Nora understand this situation? Seeing Nora keeping an eye on the sheep as usual, or stroking Enik who ran back to her after completing a task, Lawrence couldn't help but feel that he had to make sure of it. Luo Lunjin thinks that Noerla has a grasp of what may happen to her, and how the people around her are compared with her treatment. If this is the case, what Lawrence did is almost a fraud to take advantage of the other party's ignorance.Thinking about it this way, Lawrence can be sure that his conscience is already waiting to be digested in his stomach. However, what if this was confirmed to Nora, in case Nora didn't realize that this was the case? Maybe she will suddenly change her attitude and say that only she may draw a wild card and cannot assist in smuggling.No matter what you say, you can't make this happen, so even though Luo Lunjin wanted to ask, he couldn't. "Speaking of..." Lawrence came to his senses when he heard Nora's own voice. However, when Lawrence looked up, he saw that Nora was not talking to him. Holo, who was idly walking around after pulling out a pampas grass, was looking at Norra. "Holo, miss." The reason why Nora paused when she said Holo's name was probably because Nora had struggled to find the courage to speak up to Holo. Even Lawrence noticed that Nora wanted to talk to her several times, but Holo always looked indifferent every time, so Nora was always hesitant. Lawrence cheered for Nora in his heart, but what he heard next took him by surprise. "Do you know wolves well?" Lawrence instantly showed a surprised expression, but Xian Lang was very cunning.Holo's expression didn't change at all, and after a while, she tilted her head slightly. "Ah, no, that... Last night, you seemed to notice the wolves very quickly..." Perhaps the reason Norra acted like she was trying to find a hole to slip in was because she thought Holo had once been a shepherd.Presumably she was thinking that if that was the case, both of them were shepherdesses as rare as white crows, and maybe there would be something in common to talk about. If Nora really thought so, maybe because of this anticipation, she would talk to the indifferent Holo who never gave her a chance to talk. "It's nothing, we just noticed it naturally." "That's right..." "Men are useless after all." Lawrence saw Holo giving him a mischievous smile while glancing at him, and could only answer with a slight shrug. "Are we right?" "Huh? Ah, no, no way." "Oh? So, you mean that guy is useful?" Holo pointed to Lawrence without the slightest hesitation, and Nora's gaze shifted to him immediately. Then, meet Lawrence's eyes. The moment their eyes met, Nora looked away in embarrassment.However, when Holo asked her again, she looked at Lawrence from time to time in embarrassment, and whispered to Holo who approached her. Seeing that arrogant wolf smile so happily, Norah's The answer can be imagined. Lawrence looked at the appearance of the two, and told himself that he had to play the buffoon at this time. Seeing Lawrence waving his hands in surrender, Nora laughed along with Holo. "Speaking of which, for people who travel with men like us, there is no need to ask them if they don't understand wolves." Although Nora appeared to be older than Holo, when the two talked about each other, Holo immediately had the upper hand.Holo put one hand on her hip and raised her index finger with the other hand, and then she said like a theologian explaining, "Listen, if you ask someone like us if you don't understand wolves, you will only hear the same answer." .Why is this?" Nora stretched out her body and repeated, "Why?" "Because at night, wolves will appear. After all, such a cute rabbit is right in front of you. How can a rabbit that is swallowed by wolves every night not understand wolves?" After a momentary pause, Nora seemed to understand the meaning of Holo's words.She blushed immediately and stepped back.She looked first at Holo, then at Lawrence, then lowered her head. "Hehehehe. Well, that's a good response. But, you might as well recall our answer just now." Hearing Holo say this with fun from the bottom of her heart, Nora, whose ears were flushed, raised her head slightly, and looked away as if she was thinking about something. Then, Nora softly called out "Ah". "Actually, our partner is more like a rabbit. If you ignore that guy, that guy will die of loneliness." Although Holo looked like she was whispering, her voice was loud enough for Lawrence to hear.After hearing this, Lawrence could only smile wryly frequently.However, Lawrence couldn't help but feel a little hurt seeing Nora nodding unpreparedly. Lawrence wondered how he looked to Nora. "Anyway, that's what happened. So, we just happened to notice wolves very quickly last night." To the onlooker, this seems like an irrelevant conclusion.However, Nuoer, who had too many things stuffed into her mind and became a mess, listened and seemed to accept this conclusion.She nodded frankly while stroking her cheeks that had finally regained her composure. Nora then took a deep breath and said with a relaxed smile, "I thought Miss Holo was a shepherd." "Because we immediately noticed the relationship with the wolf?" [This is also one of the reasons. ] At this point, Noela stopped.She looked at the master even though she was chatting and joking.A black-haired knight who is still loyal to his duty.Continued: "Because Enik seems to care about Miss Holo very much." "Well, that's because..." Holo, who was so bold as to show her tail in front of others once she knew she would not be seen through, did not waver at all.She even smiled and looked at Enik with her arms folded across her chest. "In front of the owner, it's a bit difficult to say. But, it must be because of falling in love with us." As if hearing what Holo said, Enik looked at Holo and the others for a moment, and then started running around the flock again. On the other hand, the reaction of the knight master was like a bolt from the blue. "Huh? That, that, you mean Enik?" [It's nothing, you don't need to feel sad.If you pamper the male too much, the male will become arrogant all of a sudden.Because you love that dog so much, that dog must think that it will not lose your favor for a while.So nah, that dog must have had the occasional desire to flirt with other people.If you're sitting on a mountain of delicious bread, you'll want some soup once in a while, huh? " Listening to what Holo said along the way, Lawrence couldn't help frowning frequently.However, this remark seemed to resonate with Nora, and she nodded in agreement. "That is to say, it's a good way to control it if you have to be aloof once in a while." Although Nora nodded deeply as if she had heard the truth of the world, she suddenly called Enik's name and squatted down down. "In the future, if this child is not in love again, I will do as you said." "A clear choice." Enik, who was forced to bear false charges, barked as if crying out for grievances, but as soon as Nora hugged it tightly, it immediately - quieted down. "It's just that, while I can still praise it, I want to praise it more." After finishing speaking, Nora kissed Enik lightly on Enik's slightly lowered ear. Holo stared at Nora's appearance, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. When Lawrence noticed Holo's inappropriate, somewhat disbelieving smile, Holo was looking at him. "Because whether this smuggling succeeds or fails, I will have to quit my job as a shepherd." Nora said quietly while hugging Enik tightly.From her words, it was easy to hear that she was very rational and grasped everything before she made up her mind. Nora had already grasped her position and the possible situation. In other words, Lawrence's concern is entirely self-inflicted. Noela, who looks cowardly on the outside, must have gone through all kinds of hard work after being kicked out of the poor workhouse.She is different from the pampered noble girl. In addition to this, Lawrence also rediscovered Holo's power at the same time. Holo could easily read Lawrence's inner voice. By controlling the conversation with Nora, she led Nora to express her determination for this smuggling in a very natural way. However, Holo showed Lawrence a helpless smile of "I really don't care about you". Lawrence couldn't help but think that the saying "men are useless" is not unreasonable. Lawrence showed a disastrous appearance, blindfolded, and then lay flat on the ground with his hands spread wide. Although winter is approaching in autumn, the ground is a bit cold, but the intermittent white clouds floating in the sky give people a very warm feeling. Smuggling must succeed. Lawrence looked up at the sheep that staggered towards him, and murmured in his heart with certainty. After a while, Ribet returned leisurely on his horse. When people carry huge sums of money, they always regard everyone around them as thieves.However, Ribet is worthy of being a young business executive in a big city. In this regard, he seems to be very courageous. Libet bought gold particles that were just the right size to fit in the palm of his hand. After he asked everyone to confirm all the bags filled with the gold, he put the gold in the inside of his clothes with no particular fear, and then patted it gently. Shoot for gold. [The next step is to take these peaces back, and then wait for the opportunity for the sheep to swallow them. " The reason why Libet said that as if he was confirming it was probably to emphasize that the problem was yet to come. [Then let the sheep go through the gate.Regarding how to take over the sheep in the city, follow the procedures discussed in advance.is that OK? " "no problem·" Seeing Nora nodded, Libet also nodded in response, and then he looked straight ahead and said, "Then, let's go. A future as bright as gold is waiting for us." So, the group walked again between the forest and the hills. In the early morning, Lawrence felt something cold touch his cheek, so he woke up. Lawrence thought it was another sheep licking his cheek, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the sky in front of him was covered by a layer of dark clouds.It seemed to be about to rain, which is rarely the case this season. Not only that, the temperature is still very low.Just shifting the position of the head a little bit, the tree root that was used as a pillow immediately felt icy cold.Lawrence looked up and found that the fire had been extinguished.Since there would be a period of time between when Nora fell asleep and before everyone woke up, no one was watching the fire, so it was agreed that Nora would wake someone up, and that the early riser would watch the fire.However, Libet, who was in charge of guarding the fire today, was dozing off, holding a branch that he must have been about to throw into the fire. Seeing Libet's lackluster appearance, Lawrence couldn't lose his temper even if he wanted to. "...tsk." As Lawrence sat up, Holo, who shared the quilt with Lawrence, seemed to wake up. However, Lawrence didn't even have time to say good morning to Holo, and Holo cast an extremely displeased look, and immediately snatched the quilt away forcefully. Holo acted as if to say "Now that I'm up, there's no need to cover myself with a quilt". Lawrence thought that if he resisted, Holo might really lose his temper. Although he was not willing to get up so early, he stood up helplessly.Because when the weather was cold, the sheep would stay close to each other, so Enik, who had no work to do, lay around by the fire.Of course, it was snuggled up beside its beloved owner. Enik kept lying down, watched Lawrence with mournful eyes, made his joints creak, stood up, and threw the firewood into the fire. Enik yawned contentedly as he watched the dry branches ignite and make a "crack" sound.Looking at Enik's appearance, Lawrence couldn't help thinking of Holo, so he smiled. However, the weather is really cold, and it feels like winter has come suddenly. Although you can understand why it is so cold by looking at the sky, but you will be able to reach Rubenheim at noon tomorrow, I hope the rain can last until then. However, judging from the appearance of the sky, this seems impossible thing.Lawrence looked up to the sky with resentment, and sighed softly.He thought about the evening in his heart... It will definitely rain at night at the latest. As long as you walk into the depths of the forest, you can use the lush woods to hide from the rain, but you can't take the sheep into the forest. Moreover, the forest still makes people feel creepy.No matter what, you have to avoid spending the night in the forest. At most, you can only hide from the rain at the edge of the forest. Lawrence watched the flames of the fire gradually burn vigorously, and while thinking about these things, he suddenly felt something hanging on his back. Lawrence thought "what is it?", so he turned his head and found a familiar face beside him. It was Holo with the obvious tree root marks on her cheek. [It's warmer here. " Of course Lawrence wasn't honest enough to just believe what Holo said. Because Holo specially put the quilt on Lawrence's back so that the two could share a quilt.Although Holo snatched the quilt just now, maybe she felt that she had gone too far.Because during the journey, no matter who you are, you will feel hungry and cold. However, since Holo didn't apologize, Lawrence certainly didn't need to forgive her. 虽然罗伦斯没有开口原谅赫萝，但是他一边把原本用来搅拌木炭的树枝也丢进火堆中，一边若无其事地开口询问：「对了，你懂得看天气吗？」 「懂。今天中午过后会下雨。」 赫萝的声音听来似乎还带著睡意。 「不过，这任谁看了天空也知道。」 罗伦斯捉弄著赫萝这么说道，赫萝听了，轻轻用头顶了罗伦斯的肩膀取代皱眉的动作。 「如果可以，真希望可以在下雨前快马回到留宾海根。然后坐在暖炉前面，喝热汤、吃热腾腾的马铃薯，这主意怎样？」 「没得挑剔，还有呐……」 「梳理尾巴对吧？」 罗伦斯把声音压得更低地说，赫萝听了，一边叹气一边点点头回应：「咱也很想尽早回到旅馆，可是……」 赫萝说到这里，露出哀怨的表情看向天空。 寒风吹动赫萝的浏海，浏海似乎碰触到她的睫毛，赫萝眯起眼睛说：「会有一阵雨，这根本不是咱所愿。」 赫萝的话让罗伦斯记起他初遇见赫萝时，赫萝掌控了一大块麦子产地，并且被尊称为丰收之神。因为在秋季收割期落下的寒雨最不受农村欢迎，所以既使赫萝已离开麦田的现在，或许还是会有些排斥吧。 似乎因为发生了很多事情，所以赫萝本人不愿意多回忆起在麦田里的事。不过，或许她骨子里依旧是个丰收之神。 话说回来，就算不是丰收之神，也没有人会喜欢在这么寒冷的时候下雨。看这般寒冷程度，说不定还可能下起雨雪呢。 罗伦斯光是想像下起雨雪的状况就觉得全身冷了起来，於是他毫不吝啬地把大量木柴丢进少堆中燃烧。 罗伦斯心想还要等上好一会儿，大家才会起床。 然而，罗伦斯当时并没有察觉到一件事。 他没有察觉到赫萝不可能说出没意义的话。
