"Why did it turn out like this?"
After saying sothing that made all the soldiers who were on the military expedition happy, I was faced with a strange reality.
"I don’t know what else to say about this."
I gave in to this and let all the soldiers feel excited.
My gaze returned to Alice’s pencil-scribbled copy of the map and to the glass jar samples that had piled up in front of , while I waited for the fiery enthusiasm of all the soldiers participating in the military expedition over.
Srraahh...
While I was looking at the copy of the map covered in Alice’s pencil scribbles, Mio entered the central command tent carrying a trolley filled with food and drinks for breakfast.
Kraatttaa...
Kraattaa...
Mio entered the central command tent with a cheerful smile, as if sothing good had filled her.
"Lily-sama, I have brought breakfast ready to eat," said Mio, showing her respect in front of the military officers and the representatives of the scout troops.
I, who saw her unusual behavior, could only smile innocently at her and answer her in a friendly manner.
"Sorry for making you trouble like this, Mio," I replied while smiling innocently at Mio.
With that innocent smile, I began to understand what Mio was doing, feeling happy.
Judging by the position of her hands pushing the trolley and the warm breakfast dishes, I could only sense sothing unusual about this breakfast.
"It is my duty to serve Lily-sama as a Maid, military aide, and trusted right hand," she replied with a friendly smile as if to cover up sothing she had done.
I tried to find out what Mio had done, but it would make my focus wander.
Mio stopped her hand that was pushing the trolley filled with breakfast dishes and open the lid.
Sniff...
Sniff...
As the food lid opened, I could see a delicious al coming from the kitchen tent, that the scouts had set up.
This ti, my breakfast was going to be mushroom soup, prepared by the scout troops, with its delicious aromas that whetted my appetite.
So of the military officers and my twin sister seed tempted by this.
Sniff...
Sniff...
"Looks like we’ll take a break to have breakfast together," I said after seeing the breakfast dishes that Mio had brought.
Nod...
Everyone inside the central command tent nodded their heads and agreed with this decision.
"Lily-sama, it seems we must return after completing our jar sample report. Does Lily-sama have any other questions for us?" asked one of the scout troop representatives who had completed their task of arranging the glass jars containing the plant, monster, and wild animal samples.
"Nothing, you can go and continue your breakfast break," I replied after giving the sa order several tis in a short ti.
"Thank you, Lily-sama."
With that, thank you, the representative from the scout troops who reported the jar containing the sample imdiately left the central command tent to enjoy their breakfast break.
Coinciding with those who left the central command tent, Mio imdiately served breakfast to all the people in the central command tent, including herself.
"By the way, do you want so too, Aiko?" Mio asked, holding the remaining breakfast dish in her hands.
"Eh? I-I also get to eat breakfast with the Supre Commander, too?" Aiko said in a surprised voice.
"Yes, if you want."
"I-I want it! How could I possibly turn down the chance to eat breakfast with the Supre Commander like this!" Aiko shouted in a cheerful tone.
When everyone in the command central tent received their breakfast, they all imdiately sat around the large round table and stared at as if waiting for permission to eat imdiately.
"Geee..." Alice and Alyssa looked at as if they wanted to pay attention to the permission that ca out of my mouth.
"Geeee..." Aiko and Mio did the sa thing.
"W-What are you all doing? If you want to eat right away, just eat. There’s no need to wait for my permission for sothing as trivial as this," I said after receiving various looks, waiting for my permission.
"Onee-sama, we have to wait for our leader to eat first, as good soldiers know," Alice replied, giving a reason that sounded reasonable.
"Yes, that’s right, Lily-nee. A soldier would feel uncomfortable eating without permission from their leader," Alyssa chid in, agreeing with Alice’s words.
"That’s why Lily-nee has to eat first, so that she gives us permission to eat imdiately, now... open Lily-nee’s mouth wide," Alyssa continued while directing a spoon filled with food towards my mouth.
As if taking advantage of the situation, Alyssa planned to feed in front of everyone. This caused Mio and Alice to panic, their faces turning pale.
"Aaah! That was such a cheating move, Alyssa!" Alice shrieked, looking displeased by this.
"I want to feed Onee-sama too!" Alice continued to shout, revealing her true intentions.
Alice and Alyssa looked like they were at odds with each other, with their main issue being wanting to feed their breakfast.
I sighed and imdiately ate the breakfast that Mio had prepared.
Nom...
Nom...
"Hmmn... It’s quite delicious, I feel like the people who made this breakfast dish were a bit too enthusiastic about it on their first day of a military expedition. It’s good for boosting the soldiers’ morale, though, and I hope their morale won’t drop too quickly after entering the unknown, dense forest," I said after taking the first bite of my breakfast dish.
Nom...
Nom...
When I was tasting that delicious breakfast, so of the things I was thinking about would beco problems in the future.
My gaze imdiately fell on the magic circle formation, which was currently still mapping the area around along with the magic waves I emitted to detect sothing that had been mapped by the incantation of my magic circle.
The small dots I saw inside the magic circle formation map were from all of Marquess Roml’s soldiers, and the stealth sli swarms were scattered across various points.
Thanks to my instructions to enforce a breakfast break, the entire herd of stealth slis that were spreading out stopped and enjoyed their break by talking to each other through the Soul Ta communication channel.
Of all the stealth slis that were actively talking, I could hear the complaints coming from the stealth sli that was tasked with being a spy agent in a noble family that had ford a secret relationship with a heretical sect and the stealth sli that was assigned to the Main Mansion of Marquess Roml.
I didn’t listen to the details because it was just complaints coming from fellow stealth slis who were jealous of each other, especially with all of them who didn’t join this military expedition.
Nom...
Nom...
Tiingg!!
While enjoying my breakfast, I suddenly got a new idea that ca from one of the magic books that belonged to the Great Hero in the past, and my experience when leading the hunting operation for the Golden King Bear.
"Hmm? Is that possible?" I muttered in a questioning tone about what I was thinking about.
"I can try it..." I continued muttering while enjoying the remains of my breakfast.
Nom...
Nom...
I stopped my breakfast activity and reached for my magic staff, which was leaning beside my chair.
After holding my magic staff, which was still actively casting the magic circle formation, I imdiately changed the magic circle formation to sothing that was in my mind at that mont.
What I do will look like what the Golden King Bear did in the past, naly, emitting waves of magical energy periodically to get a response back, like a sound being reflected.
With a certain magic wavelength, I can create a large enough magic radius and can project anything within it onto the magic circle formation that is mapping the area around .
Ping!!
Ping!!
I also tested it by emitting magic waves in a certain radius and triggering the magic reflection with a new wave of magic energy.
Ping!!
Ping!!
With the blessings bestowed by my Goddess and the blessing effect of the three pairs of keychains being close to each other, my supply of magical energy beca overflowing with the endless mana regeneration.
"Onee-sama?"
"Lily-nee?"
Seeing doing sothing using a magic circle formation technique that emits waves of magical energy periodically, it made Alice and Alyssa curious about what I was doing.
Ping!!
Ping!!
At the mont the magical energy wave returned, I heard a scream coming from Mio, who was surprised by the shock of the reflected magical energy wave.
"Hiieek!! W-What is this strange feeling?!" said Mio with her facial expression turning pale quickly.
Alice and Alyssa were still silent, trying to understand what I was doing.
Ping!!
Ping!!
After several beams of magical energy waves were reflected to their origin, I glanced at the magic circle formation that was mapping the area around .
"Oh, my..." I was a little surprised by what I had thought.
"So, it can be done this way, huh?" I continued, drawing everyone’s attention to my magic circle formation.
Unlike monsters that have magic cores inside them and can be detected using scouting magic or detection magic, what I have done is an upgraded version of all of that.
In addition to detecting monsters that enter the radius affected by my magic energy wave radiation, so wild animals and magic plants can be detected after being hit by the reflected magic wave radiation.
I imdiately took a copy of Alyssa’s map and a small paper note containing the magic plants that had been reported.
My gaze shifted from Alyssa’s copy of the map to my magic circle formation that was mapping the surrounding area.
"I think this is pretty successful for a sudden magic test like this," I muttered after seeing the results displayed before my eyes.
I also felt happy about this and smiled with satisfaction.
"Phew... this is a pleasing result."
"ONEE-SAMA!!"
"LILY-NEE!!"
At the sa ti, I could see Alice and Alyssa, who were excited about sothing they had seen.
"WHAT HAS ONEE-SAMA DO?" Alice asked in an excited tone.
"WHAT HAPPEN, CARE TO EXPLAIN, MY LOVELY LILY-NEE?" asked Alyssa, curious about this as well.
My body was imdiately shaken by Alice and Alyssa, who wanted to get a detailed explanation about this, and I smiled resignedly.
