Forest

In a place where darkness was taking control of the sky, there were a lot of people awake.

Well, it wasn't really sleeping time, but the number of people here was just too many.

Of course, this place was the forest where Falkor and Isobel were together.

In other words, this place was the forest that the Lors kingdom owns.

And the people who were searching here were all subordinates or subject of the Lors Kingdom.

However, if there were some odd facts about them, that would be...they were all women.

Right, the people searching the forest were all women, and that was not all.

The women...were all naked. It was as if they had to be naked if they would enter the forest.

It was then that one of the women shouted out loud.

"There's no one here!"

And as if it were all organized, the women shouted one by one.

"Clear!"

"This place is clear!"

"None!"

"Good!"

"Clear!"

They were so many that the forest seemed like it was shouting. Of course, since there were so many women in here, there was a long line of women.

And at the end of the other side, a woman, who was the leader of all these women, could hear them shouting.

It would be weird if she couldn't hear them as they were so loud.

It was then that the leader of the women murmured as she touched her lips with her index finger.

"Hmm...there's nothing wrong with the forest, but one of the women is missing."

The reason why they were searching the forest in the middle of the night is that they heard something really loud resonate in the forest.

Of course, at first, they thought that it was an intruder. However, no matter how much these women searched the forest, they couldn't even find a single trace of an intruder.

The only reason why they were persistently searching the forest even though they already searched up the whole place is that one of the women was missing.

It was a guard in the forest who was stationed somewhere around here.

What was even more mysterious was that there were no traces of a battle around here.

"This is getting annoying." The leader of the women said as she clicked her tongue.

It was then that one of the women walked up to her as she spoke.

"Squad leader! The area is clean, and no suspicious traces have been found."

"It is more than possible that the missing woman just decided to trash some trees up and flee."

"We have also confirmed that the woman in the forest, Isobel, has not gone out!"

The woman said as she saluted the squad leader with her right hand.

It was weird if one thinks about how all of them were naked, but it seems that they were used to it now.

After all, no one was really that annoyed or affected by it. There was not even one woman who was shy because they were naked.

It was quite a...weird thing to see.

'Hmmm...is it really just a false alarm? As long as she is safe, there would be no problems.' The squad leader thought as she considered retreating now.

After all, their priority in the forest, Isobel, was confirmed to be safe.

What's more, they couldn't find any intruders. Even if one of them died, that didn't matter as long as this place was clean.

After all, they were all here just to make sure that Isobel would be safe.

Of course, that also means they were here to make sure that Isobel...wouldn't be able to escape.

It was weird if one thinks about how she is a princess of the Lors kingdom, but these women didn't care about that.

After all, they were just doing their job.

'There's no point in continuing.' The squad leader thought as she looked at the woman who reported to her.

"Retreat. We'll be going back." The squad leader said.

"Besides, we should not taint this place any longer. I will report to the head general that there was no problem!"

The reason why the women here were naked is that they didn't want to taint this place.

After all, just the fact that they were here was already tainting the forest.

And tainting it any further than this is forbidden. It is one of the strict laws personally ordered by the king of the Lors Kingdom.

That was why, even though some of them wanted to continue the search, they had to give it up.

After all, it was already a miracle that they were able to search for this long.

The time limit for a search in the forest was just a quarter of an hour.

And they have been searching for at least an hour now.

'Really, I don't understand why we have this law.' The squad leader thought.

However, the squad leader soon wiped her head off those thoughts. After all, she just needed to do her job.

"Go back!" The squad leader ordered her squad as she, too, started walking towards the place where they were most of the time.

And it didn't take long for them to disappear from this part of the forest.

It was then that a voice resounded out in this place. It was a womanly voice.

"See, they are gone now." That voice said as the air...distorted!

The air distorted, and a figure appeared from it!

And the one who appeared from it was a woman. It was obvious, but it was Isobel.

Another one also emerged from the distortion in the air, and that one was Falkor.

"Hmm. So, you can do illusion magic." Falkor said as he looked at Isobel.

What Isobel did was just to hide them with her powers, but for Falkor, it was illusion magic.

Well, it was the same, and even Isobel would agree on that.

"Right, let's just continue and you'll be able to go out!"

And when Falkor heard that, he quickly spoke.

"Why don't you come with me?"
