「「N~ there~?」」

Because of the Battle Eagle chick’s rescue request, we searched for place of battle of its parents .

They apparently fought the enemy while moving away from the nests, so they weren’t close to them .

Allen and Elena are looking too, but they cannot find the place at all because I am not the target .

「Yeah . My【Detection】gives a big reaction from over there」

I tried searching the vicinity with【Detection】as well, but because monsters are in all directions, I couldn’t clearly tell that “this is the place” . However, assuming that the adult eagles are in a group, I can reduce the list .

The direction I felt was the same Allen and Elena pointed at, so there’s surely no mistake .

『Pii』

《This child is saying that it’s that way》

When we decided on the destination, the eaglet was in agreement .

It would be troublesome if the adults thought we were enemies when we approach the battle, so the eaglet that fell out of the nest had to be brought along .

But well, there’s a possibility that they would think we are kidnappers and attack us anyway~ The eaglet will have to do its best explaining then .

《Oniichan, there are traces of fighting》

Although we have decided on the direction, I decided to search the vicinity for some clues, and Joule has apparently found traces of fighting .

「Oh, you are right . Rather, it seems that there was quite a struggle, but…… I heard no noise?」

I looked at the place that opened out, but there were traces of trees forcibly pushed down .

Moreover, the place was dotted with the same feathers we found before . Unfortunately, most of the feathers here are damaged .

《N~ seems that the Battle Eagles are fighting a higher ranked monster》

《There are scales! It’s surely a snake!》

Feat and Mile who surveyed the surroundings informed me what they found .

《Aniue, it’s serious!》

「What’s the matter, Bolt?」

《The adults apparently had not returned since yesterday》

「Eh! Y, yesterday!?」

《…… Yes》

『…… Pii』

I was shocked by the new information .

There’s no doubt that a fierce fight happened here, yet we didn’t hear any noise . I found it weird…… I found it weird!

「…… Then, the fight here took place yesterday? Of course, we wouldn’t hear the sounds of a battle……」

I don’t understand the present situation, so there’s nothing I can say . But, it’s certain that we should speed up .

「There’s no problem if they guided it away safely, but……」

『Pii, pii』

As if trying to say something, the eaglet jumped up on my head and tapped it .

When I sent a look to Bolt, he immediately interpreted for me .

《『If it’s Tousan and Kaasan then they will be fine』is what it is saying》

Ah~…… my words must have rubbed the eaglet the wrong way or possibly fanned it’s anxiety .

That’s most likely why the eaglet is saying that its parents will be fine .

「Yeah, indeed . When we meet them, you can complain『You are late!』to them」

『Pii!』

When I half-jokingly said that to the eaglet, it gave a cheerful reply .

「First of all, let’s hastily look for them! Joule, Feat, let us get on please . Bolt, you check the surroundings」

《Got it~ Allen, Elena, come here》

「「Un」」

《Niisama is on me then》

《I am off!》

After giving the instructions, the children began moving quickly .

Allen and Elena got on Joule, while I got on Feat’s back . Mile too, tightly held onto Vector’s mane, and we were ready to go .

「We will increase the speed, so make sure to hold on properly, okay?」

『Pii!』

When I cautioned the eaglet not to fall, it gave a cheerful reply once again .

I felt my hair being pulled on a little, so the eaglet must be holding on properly .

Confirming that everything’s all right, Joule, Feat, and Vector broke into a run .

《Aniue, I found them! Straight ahead, about six to seven kilometers》

「Good job, Bolt!」

Bolt who confirmed the surroundings from the skies as usual returned . It seems he safely found the adults…… still, they seem to be quite the distance away .

「You seemed to be up for quite a long time, is your body all right?」

《I’m fine . Also, Aniue, I am not 100% certain, but the opponent seemed to be a Silver Python, the adults still seem to be guiding it away》

Silver Python, huh . Err…… as the name suggests, it’s about a ten-meter silver snake of a B rank .

It’s smaller than Evil Viper and possesses no venom, but its muscly body will strangle you to death if you get caught .

Battle Eagle who is C-rank wouldn’t stand a chance if alone, but they are a group . They have sufficient forces to fight .

『Pii!』

「I know . Everyone, let’s hurry up!」

『Pii!』

Although I said that, I cannot feel completely at ease .

The eaglet also urged to hurry .

《…… Aniue, you seem to be having a conversation with the eaglet…… have you come to understand its words?》

It was a coincidence, but it seems the eaglet and I held a proper conversation .

「…… No, I just had a hunch」

It’s not like I understood precisely what the eaglet was saying . I truly just had a hunch . However, I felt that it was saying「Hurry!」!

「「Onii~chan, ama~zing!」」

「Ugh……」

It was just a coincidence, okay…… Allen, Elena, don’t look at me with such sparkly eyes, alright?
