― ― A few days after joining the brave journey.
I was watching my allies fight a little further away from getting caught up.
"One more!"
Everyone answers Lukash's voice.It was a stunning series of interlocking plays.
During the battle, someone was supposed to be on my side in shifts.This time it's Julius. He quickly became acquainted with the party members with his friendly character, but I am still unable to measure his distance.
Dong, the monster falls down with a loud noise.I saw Malta rushing to the corpse and started looking for it, and I understood that the battle was over.
"Good day, everyone."
Thank you, Laura.
Hand over the healing pills and towels to Lukash after the battle.Though I think it is like a manager of department activities in my heart, I naturally don't talk to them because it is a topic that doesn't understand them.
Sometimes it was a pretty tough monster, and everyone sat where they wanted to take a break.I sat at the root of the tree, pulled by Lukash.
"Laura, are you tired?"
"Even if you look like this, you have unexpected health.Come on, let's train in the village of Eme. "
"Ahahah, sure. As soon as I was on my journey, Mr. Vake told me that I only had physical strength."
Born and raised in a rural village, nature and hips become stronger, and you can train your strength in daily life.It's an unfamiliar journey, but so far it's not that I'm exhausted.
Lukash and the others were all natural beings on a journey of demon king crusade.Sometimes I have serious eyes, but when I talk like this, it's the childhood familiarity I know.That's why I think about the weight of the tough titles of the brave men and women on their shoulders.
He was given a little more than the others, and nothing else is different.And yet, I can't believe you're entrusted with the fate of this world.
Fu, the spirits of water that had been sleeping in the bag just now came out.I thought, you know, jumped out of the bag, and...
Waff!
A circle and a spin on the spot transformed the puppy into a wolf.
I stand up unexpectedly. That way, the wolf rubbed his body with his throat ringing.
Blue stone on the wolf's head.Definitely the Spirit of Water.
That means...
Su, have you changed your appearance?
You look like the monster I saw earlier.
Lukash stood beside me and stroked the wolf's fur to make sure.
I noticed it when I was told by my childhood friend.The current appearance of the Spirit of Water was very similar to the monsters that Lukash and the others had crushed earlier.However, the actual monster was about two more times.
It doesn't look like it just grew up.
The green ball of light and the spirit of the wind, Wentor, appeared from nowhere and blinked.
Ah, maybe you're imitating it.
Mimic?
Oira and the others were in their own way.I'm going to find a favorite figure for a place to live forever, but he hasn't found it yet.That's why I think I'm imitating the monster I just saw. "
The Spirit of Water rang with a more playful voice than usual.Do you imitate the sound?
Malta, who rushed over to hear the noise, asked Wentor-sama in an interesting way.The cheeks are red.
Well then, can Wentors be monsters too?
I can be, but I can't be such a big dragon!And it won't do much good to expect in terms of attack!Spirits only exist to protect and bless the land, and combat is out of my field! "
Malta openly dropped her shoulders to Wentor's answer.
"Nah, it would be so much easier if you could take it down with a spiritual technique"
If it's that strong, it's not sealed by a monster.
"Say it yourself?"
Malta laughs loudly.I thought it would be rude to laugh once, but I noticed that Lukash next door was laughing behind my back, and I smiled secretly.
--After that, are you not used to changing your appearance? The Spirit of Water soon returned to the usual puppy appearance.
It was time to finish lunch and rest on the overlooking grasslands.
Diona, Julius brought it to me when I was talking to Malta.
"Laura, use this if you like."
"... Bowgun?"
Julius offered me a small bow gun, as well as a small arrow.It didn't appear in Last Brave, but I remember seeing a character who was weaponized by animation and games.
Receive the bow gun offered.It looks a little painful, but it's not cheap and splendid.
"Bowgun or crossbow...It's a little old, but it's not that heavy because even a young kid could have it, is it?It's less aggressive, but it's better than nothing. "
"Ah, thank you."
I thank Julius honestly, surprised at the sudden acquisition of the weapon.Then he left the words "I can do some repairs, so tell me if it breaks."
I think perhaps this is something that Julius' brother used.I was a little curious about his words that even young children had it.
I can't help thinking about things I don't know, but look at the crossbow instead of the bow gun again.It's like setting an arrow and pulling a trigger like a gun is how it's fired.
Looking at the inside of the arrow barrel, it contained arrows of just the right size.Are they handmade or can they be bought at a weapon store?
I am comfortable saying this even though I have been transferred, but I don't think I can expect to be very effective in terms of attack power.It's just for self-protection in times of need.
So I came up with something.
"... can you fly the poison?"
It's an arithmetic of poisoning a container like an elongated test tube and flying it like an arrow.That should give you a lot of Attack.
I look at Diona and Malta in the face.The two nodded loudly.
It's a lot of noise, but it might be a good idea.
"Come on, Laura!"
Because it is dangerous for both of us to push our backs and suddenly try it with poison, I put water in the container and set it in a crossbow.
I had a hard time setting it because it wasn't a dedicated container, but the moment I pulled the trigger, the container broke and wet my fingers before I fired it. It failed.
I was wiping my wet hands with the towel that Diona brought me, and, um, I roared.
"The container is cracked by the impact.I'm going to have to pay for the container. "
"Is it best to poison the arrowheads?"
Still, it's going to be a bit more aggressive, and maybe it's better than not.
Malta nods to Diona's suggestion.
I also nodded, and when I had time, I was thinking about formulating poison and applying it one by one, and I felt a little distracted.
A water spirit pops out of the bag.
Waffwaffle!
The Spirit of Water turns to us and somehow snorts proudly.
"Oh, you're gonna protect Laura?"
That's very reliable.
In contrast to laughing Malta and Diona, I frowned.
Whatever happens to the Spirit of Water, the path to the Holy Sword is closed.I can't let you do anything dangerous.
Hmm, I can't make you do that much.
"Well, Wentler actually said it wasn't strong."
The three of them nodded at Malta's words and looked at each other.
Now I always have an escort in the battle.That means we're losing a man's strength.
Lukash and the others frequently tell you not to mind, and in fact, nothing should happen to me or the Spirit of Water without an escort.I'm not so frustrated with my guilt because of this situation, but I still feel sorry for it.
I thought I had to apply the poison to the arrow - I saw and remembered the Spirit of Water sitting cleverly in front of me.
Does the Enhanced Spirit Drinking Water work for monsters?
"... could you make this kid an arrow with spiritual drinking water?"
Diona was the one who caught my grunt.
"Oh, I see! That might be good."
"But what kind of arrow uses spiritual drinking water?"
At these times, Malta makes a calm entrance.
I'm stuck in words because I've got an idea.
"Somehow, it's like the arrow itself becomes the spirit's drinking water..."
"Ambiguous ~"
Malta's straight words burst into her chest.But she's actually right, so I can't say anything back.
While I was being beaten, Diona crouched down and called out to the Spirit of Water.
"What do you think, can you do it?"
"Grrr...."
Malta also called out to the spirits of water who tilted their necks and twitched their ears.
She gestured and explained the spirit's drinking water.
"Can you serve the spirit's drinking water? See, your mother?Fontarpune? "
--Apparently, it reacted to the word "fontarpune”.
When the Spirit of Water closed his eyes, he roared.I think a small grain of water appears in the air."Ooh!" we all shouted.
Watch the grains of water floating in the air with hard saliva.It became unstable but gradually bigger - I could play it.
"... you've collapsed."
Diona was the first to open her mouth.Malta responded to her slightly depressed by saying, "That's good!"in an exciting voice.
"Shouldn't we be practicing?Why don't you let them practice to the point where you can't force them? "
"Really, let the Spirit do that...."
Malta slaps me in the shoulder with hesitation.
"I'm trying to save the world, so I need your help!Tell them, Senpai! "
Wentle appeared as a grain of green light in response to Malta's call.
Wentor-sama blinked as she circled around the spirits of water, looking tired.
Hmm, well, it looks interesting, so I'll help you!But they're babies, so I don't think they know what they're talking about. "
"It's good, it's good, it's education."
Malta's suggestion had just been helpful, but Diona and I looked at each other and laughed bitterly at what was too appropriate.
However, even if I put aside the stories of Crossbow, it would be useful if the Spirit of Water could freely manipulate the enhanced version of Spirit's drinking water.I'm sure we can help Lukash and the others.
Apparently, from today, the special training of the power of the Spirit of Water began.
Prepare fire and prepare meals by sharing roles when you are staying in a wild inn at night.With Arnold's magic, we need to hurry and burn the fire, but since it is his burden to keep the magic on fire all the time, we need to gather the branches of the tree that will keep burning.
The clerk who gathered the branches today was like Malta.
Atashi, I'm going to collect some more trees ~
"Oh, I'm going out with you too. Julius, come along."
Yes!
Vake is clumsy and bad at cooking, so he always goes to collect the branches.Cooking was like nothing but diona.
Most of the time, I was removed from both housekeepers and told to rest, but I called Diona to start feeding me.It's too uncomfortable to just wait for a meal to come out without doing anything.
Diona, I'll help you.
"Thank you, Laura."
There's not much I can do to help.As Diona cuts the ingredients carefully, I just watch the soup burn down and taste the soup.
Today's dinner is a soup full of mountain delicacies.The appetizing smell makes a small belly noise. It's embarrassing.
Lukash and Arnold are in a sluggish conversation, alerting the area in case of a monster attack.Most monsters didn't come near if they were on fire before the Demon King was resurrected, but now they're not.
While accompanying me on my journey, I felt like I was creating something.The journeys of the brave don't stop for a second.Always thinking about the worst and being careful.
--Eventually, Diona's cooking was finished and Malta and the others returned with a large number of branches.
I will distribute the soup that Diona has separated to everyone.Lukash smiled gently, Vake sounded his stomach loudly, Malta held the spoon early, Julius still smiled at a distance and received a soup vessel from me.
And then...
Mr. Arnold, please.
"Oh, sorry."
Arnold, who didn't have much opportunity to talk during the trip, received it as usual without expression.
Arnold always takes the lead.I don't even like walking with Malta and Diona behind me on both sides.
Even though I was traveling with him, I felt him farther away than when I was a blender at the royal castle.
― ― The time for a gentle meal quickly passes.After dinner, all that's left is to go to bed.
Malta opened her mouth unexpectedly while cleaning up the dishes.
"Actually, I like Nojuku a lot.It's like sleeping together with three girls at a party, right? "
"Oh, come on, it's not a game."
Unexpectedly, Julius sandwiched his mouth like that.Then Malta hung her eyebrows.
"It's a rough journey, so you should enjoy it."
"Oh, I agree with that.It's not going to last forever. "
"Sasugawake! I understand the story ~!"
With the approval of Wake, who would be accustomed to the journey, Malta made a voice play.
Julius's journey is only about purpose, and I know how he feels.At the same time, however, it was certain that the attitude of Malta and Wake to enjoy would lighten the mind.
And then Malta pointed right under her eyes.
Julius, you need to get out of the neighborhood.
Leaving words like that, she enters the tent of the female team.Julius had an itchy, unspeakable expression in her worried words.
In this world, Malta and Julius were worried that horses would not suit each other, but "last brave" is a little different, but I feel relieved that I can build a relationship that is never bad.
I greeted the men before they went to bed to follow Malta, who had entered the tent earlier.
"Good night."
Good night, Laura.
Lukash answers on behalf of the male team.I went into the tent with my childhood friend for a few moments.
Malta was already lying in the deepest place.The three of us sleep in a river shape, but if we're worried about where to sleep, Diona comes in after me and pushes our backs.
"Laura, in the middle, please. It's going to be cold tonight."
Are you sure?
Looking back, Diona nodded with a gentle smile.
Sleep tight!
Hurry up, Malta will hurry.
In the back, Malta, in the middle, I, in the front, Diona.As she lay down, Malta next to her left hugged her, and Diona next to her right leaned back again.
Warm. I'm sure they're keeping me from getting cold.
I was tired and the sleeping demon attacked me in no time.Without resisting that sleeping demon, I let go of my consciousness-
Ah, I heard a small voice outside my tent.I don't even know the content of the conversation.But there were two voices I could hear.
(Lukash and Arnold....?)
Speaking of which, I think it was those two tonight.
(I wonder what you're talking about....)
The conversation is not so much playing, but it continues uninterrupted and calm.
A little curiosity arose about what they were talking about - but I couldn't beat the sleeping devil, and I fell asleep.
