In the “acquired” section of the sk

In the “acquired” section of the skills menu I have a skill called 『Search』. It can search for any living thing within a 500 meter radius.
It should activate immediately.
I activated 『Search』 and — my shoulders drooped.
I… Why didn’t I realize it already.
It certainly did find every living thing but…

「I can’t identify an individual person…! 」
Once I activated 『Search』 every living thing’s position within a 500 meter radius rushed into my head and made me a little dizzy.
「I won’t be able to tell where she went with this.」
Meh, it would be better to ask around.
I was reminded of the Black Dragon God’s story… Communication is important!
I called out to a few ladies that were passing by.

「Excuse me! Do you have a moment? I’m looking for someone…」
「I don’t mind in particul… ar, ara? Aren’t you Seiichi-san? 」
「Eh? … A-Adriana-san!?」
What a coincidence. What are the chances that the lady I called out to happens to be the Countess that owned the white “dog”. What a small world.
「What happened? You’re looking for someone…」
「That is… I’m searching for Altria-san… have you seen her?」
「What? Altria-chan? Ya… I haven’t seen her.」
「Is that so…」
「I’m sorry that I can’t be of any help…」
「Ah no! I mean… thank you very much.」
「You’re welcome.」
After saying my thanks I began to move away from Adriana-san.
Judging by Adriana-san’s reaction she suddenly remembered something.
「Ah, that’s right. Seiichi-san」
「Yes?」
「Would you happen to be aware of Altria-chan’s… predisposition?」
「Well, yeah…」
「In that case, can I ask a favor of you?」
The sudden request caused me to respond with a goofy sound which caused Adriana-san to smile.

「Will you be able to get along with Altria-san? Even though she doesn’t look to be delicate, she is on the inside.」
「I am already well aware of that.」
「That’s why just a little is fine. I want you to snuggle with her a little.」
「Snuggle?」
I tilted my head as I didn’t fully understand what Adriana-san wanted.
Adriana-san laughed a bit then continued.

「Even if you don’t fully understand it’ll be fine. Just stay the same Seiichi-san that will diligently search for Altria-chan.」
「…I don’t really understand but Altria-san is a very important person to me. That’s why… 」
Up until now Adriana-san has been just smiling and halting my search.
「In that case it’s fine. So, shall I let you continue searching for Altria-chan? Oji-sama ♪ (old man) 」
「She called me Oji-sama… 」
I unintentionally released a bitter smile at Adriana-san’s words.
Soon after I parted with Adriana-san and continued the search for Altria-san.
「Should I start asking around again…」
I was beginning to think so but switched to wondering if I had a convenient item for this situation.

I took out a silver stone shaped like a compass needle. (TL: I will henceforth call this item the silver needle)
I couldn’t use it in the Black Dragon God’s Labyrinth because it was a closed off space. …well I did just end up destroying all the walls that were in my way.
Well, I’m outside this time.
I could track her from the roofs if I knew her direction!
The Silver Needle began to float and pointed across the street.
Progress has been made.

「I see… This direction huh. 」
The Silver Needle was spinning in the item box and I looked the way it pointed. (TL: honestly I don’t understand what she’s talking about I thought he took it out… it actually say dancing at the item box… IDK goodluck)
「 …That? …That direction is…」
Then, to catch up to Altria-san, I began running in the direction the Silver Needle had pointed to.
