Ack, uh, uff-

-Is Han Se-ah broken?

-So you can torture people with virtual reality games.

-Is this the voice of the female streamer who was doing sexy exercise streams until recently?

-She claimed she wasn't a porter, but now she's become portable*.

-Anyway, it's refreshing to see Han Se-ah in pain.

A strange noise began to flow from Han Se-ah's mouth.

After crossing about three rugged mountains, carried like a duffle bag on my side with my grip on her slender waist, she seems to be completely worn out.

When I first put my hand on her side, she might have imagined being carried like a princess but probably never imagined being carried with one hand while running.

The viewers tease and ridicule her, but she can't even respond due to exhaustion.

Of course, I had an excuse.

My right hand was the one holding her, and naturally, a shield was held in my left hand.

When looking for the girl, I carried Grace with both hands, but now, searching for monsters, how could both hands be left defenseless?

"How about it, Hanna. Can you search with magic?"

"Ugh, uh- Here, no, nothing..."

Nevertheless, thanks to her dazed mind, instead of arguing, she's doing her best to hold onto her sanity and looks at the minimap.

She forgets to even perform the trick of concentrating mana on her staff by casting and then canceling the skill, and just groans.

Continuing like this, it wont just be drool flowing from her mouth but other things, so I momentarily stop my swiftly moving legs.

There's no need to shake and spill everything that's inside.

"Seems like your body can't handle it, should we rest for a moment?"

"Uh, uh."

Unable to properly utter even a word of agreement, I place her on a flat rock nearby, and Han Se-ah immediately stretches out fully.

Her moderately sized chest, not fully hidden by her gear, rises and falls heavily but unusually, the viewers attention is drawn elsewhere.

With the screen split into four due to the teams, three small screens are added to Han Se-ahs stream.

The footage of the other party members appears in a tiny size in the corner of the screen like a minimap but its not small enough to avoid the viewers gaze.

-It seems like Grace found something?

-I can't see Graces stream

-Han Se-ah/Scandal/Sleeping soundly during the stream

-But why is Roland holding Han Se-ah like catching a rat?

-They must have messed around off-stream last night lolol

"Ahem, hoo... son't assume I can't see the chat window even at this moment. They didn't implement hangovers, yet they added dizziness. This game."

Thanks to the features of the virtual reality game, Han Se-ah recovers her breath and quickly regains her senses.

While lying on the rock and squirming, she listens to the viewers' fuss and enlarges Grace's screen in the stream.

We're running north of the village, in the direction of the wasteland, while Grace is exploring the surroundings of the road where the carriage had passed.

On the screen, Grace, who had pushed through the bushes, was crouching on one knee, observing the dirt and scattered branches on the ground.

To us, they might just look like branches, but traces left by orcs or wolves would likely be clearly visible to her.

"Oh, it seems like she definitely found some kind of clue. Do you all remember? When we met her, she identified the location of horned rabbits and foxes in the herb field by observing the bent grass. She said if the grass is bent like this, a rabbit was sitting on it, and if it's bent that much, a fox has stepped on it."

-I was pretty amazed back then

-When you learn a skill, footprints and traces shine so brightly in fluorescent colors that it hurts your eyes

-But thats for players, NPCs might be different

-Why is Han Se-ah interfering with Grace's stream? Is she muttering to herself? Turn her down and increase Grace's a bit.

A slightly serious look appeared on Grace's face as she continued to examine the dirt pile and leaves with her slender fingers.

The usual mischievous smile that always lingered subtly on her delicate features was gone.

In the meantime, Han Se-ah, still pretending to catch her breath, checks the other screens shown on her stream.

Lily, who went west alone, seems to have found nothing and was observing the surroundings from a hill.

Meanwhile, Katie and Irene, who went south, were listening to the stories of the residents from another village.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Huh? Oh, yes! But, since I am a mage, I am a bit lacking in stamina... Can we slow down a bit?"

Han Se-ah, still conducting a fresh new type of streaming called 'rock-napping', threw a question back at me.

It seemed like her dizziness or something like it was recognized as a debuff, only lasting a short while since she recovered in about 5 minutes after being shaken around for almost 20.

Still, she desperately pleaded to avoid being jostled back and forth on the side again.

"Hmm, then lets cross that hill and look around on our way back."

"Hey, cant you put me on your shoulder instead of your side?"

...Hmm, considering her aggressive hidden camera stalking, I'd like to shake her for at least two more hours, but if I do, she might turn off the stream, or even the game.

As an NPC, I can't go too far with a player.

I guess I'll have to be satisfied with this for now.

Roughly crossing over about five hills, we headed north, and after confirming the boundary where even shrubs and bushes disappeared, the beginning of the wasteland, we looked around and returned.

Although the mini-map was further filled out, unfortunately, Han Se-ah's quest window was unchanged, suggesting that north was not the answer.

When we returned, only Lily was in the village.

The rest of the party weren't back yet.

"Did you find anything? I only ran into wandering goblins, killed them and came back."

"Nothing. No visible traces or residual magic. I went up to the initial part of the wasteland, but I didn't see any footprints or anything."

"...And Hanna, why is she like that?"

"I carried her while running over the hills. Seems like her stamina is a bit weak, perhaps because shes a mage."

Han Se-ah, tormented by all sorts of teasing from the viewers simply because she was in my arms, buried her face into the table due to mental fatigue.

If I had known the effect would be this good, I would have used it sooner.

No matter how much I tease, I can't keep up with the thousands of cyber trolls.

While exploring the unknown, I held the shield for protection with one hand, while holding her to my side.

But on our return, since it was safer, I held her with both hands to accommodate her request.

But such reasoning was not important to the viewers.

Indeed, those who tease every day know how to do it better.

"Ah, you're back already?"

"We are. There's another village in the direction we went. ...What's up, did you have to use magic against orcs?"

While I was chatting with Lily, Katie and Irene entered the inn next.

It seems that they collected stories from the residents of another village.

Even if the village was wary of outsiders, they wouldn't dare to be rude to a real nun who could use divine energy.

The fact that both individuals were gentle, soft-beauty types must have also played a big role as well.

"I heard there's a group of traveling merchants who regularly visit, but they said they're late."

"Yes. The residents in that village weave fabrics and such, exchanging them for things like salt and flour, but it's been difficult because the merchants haven't arrived."

"It looks like the merchants meant to go to that village are also missing. As we get more information, it gets more and more suspicious."

Lily nodded at Katie and Irene's words.

It could be dismissed as a coincidence once or twice, but with Lily's party, the trading group in Ertta, the village chief's son, village residents, and now even the essential goods merchants all going missing this week, it's clear something is happening.

As they were sharing stories of exploring the village, Lily was mentioning that she had killed some wandering goblins nearby when the innkeeper quietly approached and placed something on the table.

"Here, enjoy this while you chat. Oh, and this is, um, the rations for adventurers that we were supposed to give. My son just brought them back, saying these rations are good for travelers... But the guests who come into the inn don't even look at the rations, they just want to eat warm food

A flat, square slab emitting a scent of dried grains.

To preserve it, grain flour is steamed, baked, and flattened, like hardtack.

Frankly speaking, its a bit tough and flavorless to eat as is.

It's meant to be dipped in stew.

It's not typically a type of food that guests visiting the village would buy.

Nevertheless, seeing that it was clean and well-preserved without any mold or spoilage, Han Se-ah put it in her inventory without hesitation.

"We can put this in stew and boil it later. Once crushed, it's just grain flour, after all."

"Oh, my goodness! It disappeared?!

-At this point, she's enjoying it too

-Chosen by Forbes, the No.1 streamer at attracting viewers

-But since she's technically the No.1 streamer, you could say it's partially true, right?

-A porter highlighting her inventory due to dissatisfaction with her lighting job

-Fine no more lighting jobs, back to being a porter

Only after all that did Grace finally arrive at the inn.

She rushed in with her cheeks flushed and arms waving.

Was the answer to the East?
