In the end, your embrace is home

"H-huh?"

The only thing I could do was stare blankly at the frantic bird, because...what do you mean Natha is here?!

What about the banquet? Ah, well...I guessed that didn't matter anymore. But how? Did he make multi-teleport from there to the realm of nature? Or did he use the elf's intra-realm portal?

Irregardless, what about going inside the forest?! The border guards wouldn't just give him a pass right away--especially not without agreement from the tribe. And no, they would not provide agreement to anyone, not even the Demon Lord, if Amarein said no--which I presumed she would have done when she sent the messenger bird.

Did he enter the forest illegally?!

I glanced at the librarian, who merely looked at me blankly. It seemed like she didn't know anything about this, which meant Natha did not come through the guardpost.
