--A few days after the unexpected encounter with "Last Brave" 's best friend, Chara Julius.
What I was afraid of finally happened.
"... the toxins are getting stronger."
Eh?
Me, Arnold, and Iris, who were in the concoction room whining at Basilio, rushed all at once.
He turned pale and looked back at us.
"More than twice yesterday."
"Oh no...."
Double. Lose word on the report.
Arnold, standing beside me, asked Iris earlier than usual in a hurry.
Is there a limit to the amount of poison that monsters make?Can you double the amount of poison that you produce yesterday, like this one? "
Iris answered Arnold's question in the same tone as he always did.--The voice was upset or trembling slightly.
"It's only natural that there's a cap!I suppose you've done a little less to keep me from getting noticed.If you make toxins at once, leaves will wither and visible changes will occur. "
"If something changes, someone will notice something unusual.So, gradually, it becomes harder to remember the discomfort. "
Basilio guessed Iris's answer.I would have been impressed by the combination of two juniors if it weren't for this time, but I can't afford to hate them now.
Arnold slapped his tongue small and murmured with a sigh.
"You're so smart. Did the Devil notice you?"
That was a very likely story.
Was Julius the cause of the incident, or was it reported that the forest monster had discovered that he was continuing to detoxify?Another possible cause is...
Or is Lukash and the others approaching Lord Rykerland's residence?
He looked up at Arnold and murmured.That way he nodded in my eyes.
"Either way, the enemy is likely in a hurry.Then there is a possibility that the monster will come to us. "
Arnold's words suddenly filled the air in the mixing chamber.I heard someone swallow the saliva.
--Now is the time to step on it. We have to cut through here somehow.
The first person to speak up was Mr Basilio.
"Anyway, we need to dispense the antidote.I will also ask the city's blenders for their help. "
Iris looks at Mr Basilio in the eye.She also nodded loudly and shook Mr Basilio's hand.
Arnold nodded to them, "Please."
"I demand the assistance of the Knights of Chevalier."
I said that in an undisputed tone.
Request assistance from the City's Concoctor, the Knights of Chevalia.Other than that, what I can do...
Hold my fist tight. And he looked up at Arnold and said.
"Then I'm next to Fontarpune-sama's tree.If you take the simplified dispensing equipment, you can dispense it there, and you should always keep an eye on it. "
For a moment, deep wrinkles approached Arnold's eyebrow root.And his mouth opened small - but once, it was pulled.
A few seconds of silence. Then Arnold opens his mouth again.
"... okay, Marta, I'll put Julius on."
Two reliable escorts. I nod with a smile.
Arnold said with a loud roar to tighten my mind with a sharp expression.
"Daiki should be the ultimate destination for the monsters. Be careful."
Say "yes" to Arnold's words.
With more toxins in the soil, it is not strange when Fontarphne-sama's boundaries are broken.Malta, we need to be vigilant, even though we have two escorts, Julius.
"Now is the time to step on it, please."
Everyone looked at Arnold's words and nodded from nowhere.
----It is moving in the wrong direction as expected.But losing here will make it harder for the brave to get the sword.That's all you have to avoid.
We dissolved for each purpose.Basilio and Iris head for the Fralia branch, and Arnold runs to the Chevalier Fralia garrison.
I have to hurry to Fontarpune's Daiki with a healing medicine, poison, and a simple formula that I can carry.All we need is water and food.
And so I remembered the existence of the Spirit Stone that I kept from Lukash.
(Yes, I'll take the Spirit Stone with me.)
I don't know if it helps. But in case you need it, it will be a loss of time to return to the city.
I packed everything I could think of into a big bag and ran to Malta for help.
After that, with Arnold's mouth, Malta, Julius and the other three came to Fontarphne-sama's tree.
Although it gives the impression of seeing it, the branches of the tree are still unbroken and the leaves are not dead.There was no visible change.
Quickly assemble the simplified dispensing tool, with a little relief.Next to that, Malta showed me some big cloth.--No, it's a pre-assembled tent.
"Bye! Look, look, the tent!Isn't it cute? I used it when I was traveling alone. It's quite comfortable.I think it's wide enough for both of us to sleep! "
Fufu, I smiled at Malta without thinking.It is as good as ever to relieve heavy air.
Julius asks Marta, who laughs at me with her arms wide open.
"What about me?"
Malta looked at Julius with frustrating eyes.At Last Brave, the two mood makers were making a scene together, but there are still a few friends in the world, and it seems that they have not yet established a relationship.
Malta threw a round tent from a large bag towards Julius.
"Hey, it's a little old, but it's enough for you to sleep alone."
Julius, who received the thrown tent, spreads it.Malta was right. It looked a little old, but it seemed big enough.
Julius glanced at Malta after thanking her properly once.
I don't know, it's my clutter, right?
"You followed me on your own, didn't you?"
"No, I was asked by Mr. Arnold...."
It seems strange that Arnold's name comes out of Julius' mouth.
Around me in a strange mood, Malta quickly cut up the conversation with Julius and approached Fontarphne-sama's tree.And stare at the leaves and branch tips.
"The leaves aren't dead.Still no visible change..... "
Lined next to the murmuring Malta.And I saw the leaves she was gently touching.
"I think it's too late for a visible change.We have to do something before that happens. "
Malta will look at us. I look up at her, too.That way she nodded "Good luck" with a reliable smile.
--Very comfortable.
Julius shouted from behind as he took a breath.
"Should I stay here and prepare for the monster attack?"
"Yes, good luck, vigilante."
Malta looks back at Julius. That way he raised his thumb and smiled.
"Leave it to me. I was unconscious then, but now I can do it."
Really ~
In Malta's words, "It's true!Julius replied slightly uneasy.With some anxiety that the two horses in this world might not suit me - I began to make up quickly.
I encourage Julius to observe the surroundings, Malta to observe Fontarphne-sama's trees, and I encourage him to concoct.A few hours without losing consciousness as one person.
Phew, the moment someone sighed, there was a rattling noise from the trees.The three of us are looking at you all at once.
"Ampere"
It was Arnold who shook the trees and showed up, breathing all at once.
I rushed to Arnold, laughing bitterly at Julius for saying he was "confused."
Mr. Arnold.
"For today."
He puts the bag on his shoulder on the ground.Looking inside, there was more antidote than usual.I'm sure Arnold, Mr Basilio, Iris, and the city's blenders helped us.
Grab the antidote in his bag and look up at Arnold.
"I'm sorry, thank you."
It was unexpected that Arnold came all the way here, but honestly, thank you for not having to go back and forth with the city.
Now, I quickly got up around Fontarphne-sama's big tree and was called "Hey."
"I brought you some food."
Arnold takes three bags out of the other bag.It seemed that he had prepared three menus: sandwich, bagel and boned meat.
Julius was the first to eat.
"Ah! I like sandwiches!"
Arnold sighs at Julius as he rushes in.And he did not respond to Julius' words, and offered me a sandwich.
I unexpectedly look at Arnold and Julius.
Julius said the sandwich was good, so he looked up at Arnold, not at me, but he sent the sandwich to push it against my chest without saying anything.Unexpectedly, Arnold pushes the remaining two against Julius.
"This is for the ampere.Choose who you want. "
--Besides, did you know that my favorite is sandwich?
Arnold doesn't say anything.It may be a coincidence, but I was a little happy.
Julius, who had received dinner, asked Malta, "Which would you prefer?He leaves us to ask.Apparently, I was rubbing it with meat.
As he gazed at the situation with a smile, Arnold tended to hesitate.
"The Knights of Chevalier are on the lookout.I also sent a request for support to King's Landing.... I don't know if the great men of King's Landing will get along with me. "
Arnold sighs with a bitter tone.He seems to be in quite a position, but he has a lot of difficulty getting caught between the boards.
--But it's not about laughing.Now that the Demon King is coming back, there is no shortage of power anywhere.I honestly didn't have much hope of how many soldiers the monster would split on Fralia.
Gu, hold my fist. I decided to help the brave men in the world by doing what I could, but I still can't help thinking that I can fight monsters at this time.
"I'll come back tomorrow morning. I have to collect the soil."
He looked up at Arnold's words.Even though I wasn't laughing in that way, I saw Arnold with a slightly soft expression between my eyebrows.
He turns his heel back. Slowly walking away, I unexpectedly shouted on his back.
"Good night."
Arnold stops his feet. And I looked back.
"Rest easy."
Stop saying that you're the one.I'm sure Arnold won't nod when he says he wants you to rest.
After Arnold's back was completely invisible, I remembered the existence of the sandwich he brought me. It bumps into a bite.
"Ah, delicious..."
Arnold brought me a sandwich full of my favorite mountain delicacies.
