Deep within a forest where no human traces could be seen.
Two mercenaries were wandering through the thick underbrush, pushing their way forward.
Rin, pushing aside tree branches that brushed against her face as she followed behind Ian, asked,
"Are you sure this is the right place this time?"
"Probably..."
Rin had already asked the same question several times, but Ian's answer remained the same.
Rin let out a small sigh as she pushed through the pathless forest.
Ever since they arrived in the area where the Night Tail had been sighted, Rin and Ian had been roaming the mountain paths for several hours looking for traces.
"Wouldn't it have been better to just hire someone with a hunter background temporarily?"
Rin grumbled as she walked behind Ian.
She admitted that Ian had more knowledge than a rookie mercenary should—to the point where his past was suspicious—but surely tracking monster trails was an exception.
Finding tracks in the forest was a skill for hunters.
