"{Shield Strike!} HYAA!"
*BOOM* *CRASH! *
I can’t help but think about the clues that Ria has given indirectly. After saying that the Hero Queen is still alive, and that she is going to prepare the summoning ritual so that I can sign a contract with a Familiar, does she imply that I can hire the Hero Queen as my Familiar?
If true, that would be fantastic!
I would have the Fairy Magic teacher directly at my disposal. Especially now that the new knowledge about the Circle of Life is really complicated.
I have a feeling that after learning all about the side of death in the Circle of Life, the knowledge of Life Energy will co. In stories and legends of my old world, there are fables where Fairies can create life out of nothing, create unique creatures, both physical and spiritual.
"Vremya, are you okay?"
"ah? Oh~ yes, just a little distracted... I’m sorry"
"That was the last Big Snake here. We ended up on our side!
Shall we go back now?"
Magen asked . Magen and I are inside so natural caves. Strange animals have been seen, and it seems that a certain person has been attacked. The investigations of the -Adventurers- in this town have found large snakes the size of a leg in thickness and about three to five ters.
Although the Village Chief has launched a Quest to exterminate the snakes. The number and strength of these snakes are too high for the level of Adventurers out there.
So there is nothing left but our group will take the Quest. After discussing who will stay on guard in the Town, who will go to explore the surroundings in search of a sign of the bandits and their hiding place, and who will co to eliminate snakes, everyone opted to play and let luck establish the small groups.
But when I thought they were going to do sothing like rock, paper, and scissors. They used a simple set of palms up and palms down...
Since we are eight people, two were going to stay in the Town and six were going to split into two groups to go out and explore and hunt snakes.
Then, in the first ga, sohow Ragna and Destan were left with palms down and the others with palms up.
Then, the remaining six were left with two palms down and four with palms up. From there three gas passed until one was with palms up and three with palms down. I think I’ll take so ti to show them the Rock, Paper, and Scissors...
Then the groups were left with: Ragna and Destan in the Town watching; Xifia, Kara and Tikshna went out to explore the surroundings; Dianeira, Magen and I to hunt giant snakes.
And why am I alone with Magen? The cave was divided into two paths at one point. And we all had the idea of dividing ourselves. But before we decide how to do again with a ga of palms up and palms down, Dianeira just grabbed the left side and ran...
I think I overdid it a bit with the dreams and Dianeira still can’t see without blushing, much less be alone with , hehe.
"Let’s go back and look for Dianeira"
"Yeah YOO!"
After Magen collected the corpses of the snakes, we returned by the unique path of the dark cave. But then I rembered. Based on what I saw in my eyes, this route is longer than the one Dianeira took!
"Wait!"
"AH!"
"Ouch! Magen, you’re very hard~" Magen almost sent flying when she crashed into ...
"EH!? I thought I hid it well!!"
I felt pain in my back from the armor Magen is wearing. But when I looked at her, she was covering that place with her hands!
"Ahem~ I wasn’t referring to that, but to your armor... this, how long have you been like this?"
"I, I..." Magen’s face was red when she realized that she exposed herself.
"I didn’t say anything... I felt a breeze just now, that’s why I stopped suddenly, I’m sorry..."
"mm... No, it’s okay, it’s my fault for not looking..."
I reduced the circulation of mana in my body a little to decrease the light emanating from my little fairy next to . At the sa ti, Magen’s holy shield also reduced her golden light a bit.
I returned to what seed to be the bottom of the cave, it was not a lie about the breeze, which was what reminded of what I had already explored with my eyes of the blank world.
Detecting the place that seed to be the weakest to knock down but without the cave it would fall on us.
"Did you find a secret entrance?" Magen, after passing her embarrassing mont, returned to her usual attitude and approached without concern looking where I was looking.
"It seems that the cave continues... I think here. Magen, can you hit this place with your shield?"
"YES! Leave it to !! {Shield Strike!} YOOO!!"
*POOM!* *CRASH*
A section of the cave wall collapsed. Enough for one person to pass.
"Great! Well done, Magen~"
"Hehehe! It’s easy!!"
"Co on, let’s see how far it goes..."
Although I already know the answer.
Magen and I walked for a long ti. In this section of the cave there are no more snakes. Unlike the path I took, Dianeira went straight to the snake nest, but I’m not worried about her. Under my perception I can see that it is easy for Dianeira to hunt these snakes.
One shot from Dianeira’s moon arrows in the head and the snakes simply die.
In my sight, Dianeira has killed most of the snakes, and to my surprise, she didn’t wipe them all out. It seems that as the archer of the forest that she is, Dianeira has a respect for nature and has not decided to annihilate the entire family of large snakes.
As long as this cave is carefully maintained and the snakes are eliminated from ti to ti, there is no danger to the people or to those who go out hunting animals or gather fruits or dicinal plants.
In addition, the skin and flesh of these snakes seems to be good. They are not venomous snakes, which makes them an acceptable species for human consumption.
Beyond the snake’s nest is a river, that underground river also reaches where Magen and I are headed.
Although my view of the white world can reach for miles, there is nothing around us except a point farther away following the river down.
I can make out a wall. It is an artificial wall and does not appear to be made naturally. In addition, there are ropes tied to the wall. So it’s definitely a point of interest to investigate.
"Vremya! It’s a river in front!" Magen, without worries, ran towards the river as soon as the river ca into our sight.
"Mm! Let’s mark it on the map" I pulled a scroll from my backpack and a special charcoal pencil.
Magen placed her shield on the ground, and as we had already been doing, I placed the parchnt on the shield as a table and began to draw the route we have taken.
Dianeira also ca to the river on her side, took out a scroll and began to draw. Almost at the sa ti we both finished adding drawings to our maps and it was ti to go back.
Going down the river requires another kind of preparation. And we must all take the road together when we et. So without having to communicate with Dianeira, she turned around and went back on her way.
"Ready. Now if we must return, we cannot move forward without preparing. Take a little water in a package to return and analyze it, we must know if it has any type of contaminants"
"Okay!" Magen took out a glass bottle from her backpack and plunged it into the underground river to save water.
Then, now we start our way back.
After eting at the entrance of the cave with Dianeira, who was waiting for us, we ran back to the Town. Thanks to my auxiliary spells, the running speed was very fast.
After returning to the Town, we went straight to the building of the -rcenary Union- and handed over the search. It almost feels like an RPG, but we don’t gain experience or level up.
While Dianeira, together with Magen, claid the rewards and delivered a report. I started to rearrange the map by taking the drawn part of Dianeira next to mine.
This map will be given to the rcenary Union and as the Town Chief too for archive. It seems that after so long, there are still areas near the capital that have not been deeply explored, so maps are very important.
When I finished making three copies of the map of the caves, Ragna entered the rcenary Union with the other girls.
"Little Vremya, if you had already arrived, why didn’t you let know? ~" Ragna, seeing simply hugged and squeezed against her body.
"Squeeze! Loose... I didn’t want to interrupt the training you were giving Destan."
"Little Destan is very strong, he can beco a great swordsman. The first in n in 200 years!"
"Ragna, it’s very sexist the way you say it..."
