For the surrounding exploration, Ariel divided the group into three teams.
'Lena, you take that side.... And for Leader Ian's side, you two stick with them.'
'Yes!'
Two members who replied to Ariel's words approached Ian's side with smirking smiles.
Ian's team was decided to consist of the Ian Mercenary Group and Frenda, plus two members of the Ranger Circle who had experience entering this [Witch's Forest] several times.
If considering only combat power, the Ian Mercenary Group alone was more than enough. The [Witch's Forest] was not a deep-floor area, so it wasn't a place where powerful enemies appeared.
However, since it was the Ian Mercenary Group's first time entering the [Witch's Forest], Ariel had attached two members familiar with the area to guide them.
Rin noticed one of the members who joined the team was carrying a quite eye-catching, peculiar object and asked.
'What is that?'
'Ah, this? It's a rope.'
