45. Reconnaissance

When the camp was ready, Yumir and I made preparations to scout the bandit castle in Yua. "Well, even if it's preparation, I'm almost ready to fight, but this time it's reconnaissance, so I don't plan on doing that..." With that in mind, I went to Yumir-san to finish my preparations.

"I'm ready, but are you guys ready?"

Yes.

Yeah, I'm fine.

"Well, then, I'm leaving, but you may encounter one of the bandits while you're on your way, so pay close attention to your surroundings." Is that okay? "

Yes.

Then we set out for the bandit's castle.

Then I followed Mr. Yumir along the river.

From now on, we'll check the bandit's castle and scout inside if we can. Do you have any questions?

What if I encounter one of the bandits?

"I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i--i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i If you recognize us, you will be defeated. It may depend on the number of people, but basically I'm planning to fight the main fight.”

So, what do we do?

"If there are one or two of you, you'll get backup. If there are three of you, you may have to fight one at a time, but if there are more, I want you to go back to the base and call in reinforcements."

If so, then why don't you ask Yua to call for reinforcements and I'll help you?

"... that's right. I'd appreciate it if you could, but would you like me to make it a top priority to pass the information on to your base?"

Got it.

“Is there anything else you'd like to ask?”

"I'm fine."

I-I 'm fine, too.

"All right, if you're interested, just ask me."

Yes.

Then we advanced along the river.
