Chapter 504
Silvaria, frontier town, airfield…
A lot of airships are here, you can catch a ride on a big airship or a small one . If you’re in a hurry to get somewhere, there are jet-like airships, there are also airships where one can take in the sights while flying in style . It’s the main mode of transportation for the denizens of this world . The airfield is brimming with people and business is booming for everyone here .
But, today, the airfield is welcoming more arrivals than departures . Moreover, the airfield is rowdier than usual .
The people who came here are dressed in a military loadout . They also looked like they are here for work and not to play . They organized themselves and they headed into town .
An airship approached the airfield, landing on their designated spot, the members all disembarked . The ladies who descended are all drop-dead gorgeous .
The people around them stopped momentarily . They continued to work but they kept glancing in their direction .
It’s Mikoto and the others who are here to bust the sister out from their sticky situation .
Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, Ikaros, Astrea, Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, Takitsubou Rikou, and Misaka 10032 formed a group after checking their stuff .
Shokuhou Misaki took a look around the airfield and she spotted the unusually high amount of soldiers and mercenaries . She frowned before making her concern known .
“I feel like something’s going on here…”
The others also looked around and they spotted them as well . They exchanged looks .
Mikoto mumbled .
“Are they setting out for Giant Beast Forest as well?”
“This is the closest human settlement to the forest so I think they are preparing to storm the forest, says Misaka after analyzing their information and equipment…”
Misaka 10032 said . The others concurred with a nod . 10032 and the other clones had been here the longest among their company so she knew when someone is going into the forest just by looking at their equipment .
Kinuhata Saiai glanced around .
“I might be wrong but it looks like a lot of people here are gearing up to enter the forest?”
“In the end…”
Frenda continued .
“Are they here to save their comrades as well?”
“I don’t think that’s the case…”
Takitsubou Rikou chimed in .
“I don’t think our situation is a reflective sample of the population, I doubt these people had comrades stuck in the forest . ”
“I see…”
Astrea stood on her toes as she tried to see into the distance .
“But, the Misaka clones are many in number no matter how he sliced it . ”
The others are surprised that Astrea said something astute like this contrary to her ditzy personality .
“Who cares?!”
Mikoto shook her head, she clenched her fists .
“I don’t care if they have comrades who are trapped in the forest, we are here to save the sisters, let’s get a move on!”
They moved past the airships, they traveled towards the same general direction as the soldiers and mercenaries, into Giant Beast Forest .
The Giant Beast Forest is the only known place in Silvaria that is the main habitat for monsters . It’s extremely wide in area, possibly even bigger than all 3 empires put together . The monsters here are killed and harvested for materials . Materials from these monsters can be made into armaments and armor . There are also tons of herbs and treasures in the forest that can raise one’s power . It’s not wrong to refer to Giant Beast Forest as a giant treasure trove .
Due to the proximity of the frontier town to the forest, the facilities and goods traded here are top-tier . It’s easy to find rare materials that can’t be procured anywhere else . Tourists with money usually stayed in the town for a few days in addition to hunting for valuable treasures .
But, the frontier town had a weird air around it .
The new arrivals didn’t take a gander at the stalls, they all moved towards the forest with grim looks . The folk in town all started spreading rumors .
Exiting the frontier town, the girls arrived at the entrance to the forest .
“What…”
Kinuhata Saiai gasped while pointing in front of her .
“There are way too many people here!”
They set up camps here and the whole place looked like a really busy market area . It’s also loud as hell .
“What the…”
A shocked voice came from behind them .
“Mikoto! Why are you girls here as well?”
Mikoto looked back and Mikoto gasped .
“Sister Fei Fei, why are you here?”
Fei Fei in full armor appeared . She bitterly laughed .
“I thought I was the one asking the question first?”
Fei Fei looked behind her and her eyes widened .
“Even the queen of the school and her trusty subordinates are here . I see you girls are here to investigate the disturbance in the forest as well . ”
Shokuhou Misaki replied .
“So you’re here for the same thing, I presume?”
“Yes . . ”
Fei Fei shook her head in a helpless manner .
“The Forest is a very crucial place in Silvaria, if something goes wrong, something might happen to the beasts and the precious resources in here . It’s going to affect military power and the average strength of a country . ”
“As the greatest noble family in the Ailu empire, we harvested a lot of resources from the forest as well . The disturbances are adversely affecting us, our resource gathering teams are getting forced out of the forest . The patriarch gave me orders to investigate and, if possible, bring an end to the disturbances here . ”
The other girls finally knew why she appeared here, so far away from Silvaria World Institute . Shokuhou Misaki crossed her arms .
“So these people are all from noble or powerful families, I reckon they have the same objective as you . ”
“Yeah . ”
Fei Fei nodded .
“What about you girls? Investigating the disturbances too?”
“No…”
Mikoto shook her head .
“Our comrades are stuck in the forest, we are here to get them out . ”
“I see . I propose we enter the forest together . ”
They gathered their stuff and they entered the forest .
Unknown to them, a big surprise is in the forest waiting for them to find out, and it’s not pretty .
