Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

Urgas, who was buttered by the heat, got better, so I let the investigation resume.

It was after lunch and the sun was at its harshest hour.

See how Urgas is. Has the captain become cautious too, he says, putting in more breaks in between.

Guys, I was getting hit by the heat.

Sura, Amelia and Stella seem fine. I guess spirits and phantom beasts make different bodies.

Hot makes me sweat. Moisture is not the only discharge to the outside world. Salt, too.

Not even replenishing salt with moisture can cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, and dehydration.

I guess Urgas was short of salt.

After lunch, I gave him something I had made by sneak.

That's candy wrapped in oil paper.

The captain asks with a surprised look.

"Hey, it's not a hike."

"It's not a treat for an excursion. It replenishes the salt."

It's easy to make. Add the sugar and salt to the pan and place on fire. Care should be taken not to burn.

Amber candy pours into a mould made of oil paper. Cool it for a while and it's done.

It cooled sharply in the nix, so it was solidified.

"Salt is sweet..."

"It's light and surprisingly delicious."

It's hard to lick salt one way or another. But this is easy to carry and eat.

I used to make salt water and give it to him after training, and he was very disapproved.

I thought about how I could replenish the salt, and I came up with this candy.

"Captain, go ahead!

"No, well... let's have it"

I know the captain doesn't like sweets. But this candy shouldn't be sweet, so it should be fine. Probably.

The captain picks the candy with his praised face and throws it straight into his mouth.

The expression - it doesn't change.

"Captain, what do you say?

"That's it, not bad. It's not that sweet, and I was wondering if I could eat it better than regular candy."

"Good."

Salt candy was well received by other crew. Now I'm going to get through the heat.

"Is Leezelotte okay? Do you still want to rest?

I was kind of an adult, so I peek into my face.

"No, it's okay"

"Patience is forbidden. When you're tough, say it."

"Yeah, I know."

Even though she is a marquis, Leezerotte is following her expedition with her guts.

He seems to be building strength these days, and less likely to get through the task with his energy and guts.

The expression is dark, so I ask him what's wrong.

"Something's been going on lately."

"That's... that's right."

Something unknown is going on. This heat was also suggested to be possible.

"Hopefully it won't be a big case"

"Yes."

I wanted to talk more, but the captain calls me. The investigation was reopened.

◇ ◇ ◇

Draw the grass and go on through the woods.

I ran into a demon and it also became a battle several times. Quickly crusaded, but captain says ominous things.

"Stronger than before"

"What, what, that?

"It's getting worse."

Even a fatal wound that would have stopped working if it had been before, they wouldn't stop attacking me.

"Until now, I've never fought a desertion like that."

"It's..."

What if the demons you fought also have demonic stones?

To that point, the captain pounds his tongue.

"Hey, Liechtenberger. Do you know if there's a demon stone in the demon?

"Let the magic flow, though I think it will glow... After that, I don't know what the reaction is, so I think we should stop it."

"For example, what happens?

"Explosion... or something"

"Then you'd better stop."

The captain sheaths the great sword, and when he removes a large swing of knife from his hips belt, he kneels in as he is.

"Yes, Captain, what do you do?

"Dismantle (Rose) and Find Out"

"Well, you should stop it."

"But there would be no point in the investigation as it is"

"Yes, sir."

"I'll help you, too."

Zara raises her hand. Neither is Mr. Gull.

"Liechtenberger. If we were to implant demonic stones, where would it work?

"There's a lot of magic in the blood... what if it's in the heart?

"No, you did that before."

The captain grips the knife and pokes the heart part.

"Shit, the meat is hard"

In response to that whine, Lieselotte explains.

"You're starting to be rigid after death. I've heard it hardens faster than people and wildlife because of its intense magic concentration."

"You know what?"

With Zara, Gal and the three of us, we put a knife blade in the heart and scrape the meat.

"Damn it! It's like a stone."

I wonder what it is. How can a captain look good with a knife sticking out......

If you were thinking about that, Mr. Gull's ears would pin.

"Oh, gal. Did you find it?

Apparently, something like a demon stone has been found.

Lieselotte blocks the magic and retrieves the demon stone.

Last time, he was a big demon stone with a big fist, but this time he was a pebble big enough to round his index finger and thumb. Put it in a bottle and bring it back.

A strong wind blows on the lid.

"Que!?

Looks like Amelia sensed some powerful magic.

"Captain, it seems Amelia has felt a strong magic, but what do you want to do?

"We'll have to go"

Hopefully nothing. No, there is.

If you were disappointed to drop your shoulder, you'd be slapped on the shoulder with a pong. When I looked back, there was Lieutenant Berley.

"Squirrel, are you okay?

"Ugh... yes"

"Let's proceed with caution"

Copy that, sir.

thrilled, proceed through the woods.

Just in case, hold Proy Stella in your hand. As heavy as ever.

"Queques?"

'Qu?'

Amelia and Stella ask me if I'm okay.

"Yes, it's okay! If, even if the demon pops up, like this, with a tiptoe, a blow - whoops!

I almost fell forward, but Amelia picked up my jacket headscarf, so I get nothing.

"Oh, thank you"

"Hue ~ ~"

Keep my headscarf in place and ring low. When I mumbled, they said it was forbidden to wave weapons.

Nevertheless, I didn't expect to hear Amelia's "Hue ~" again.

"Hueh!"

"Yes, I'm reflecting"

In the meantime, I decided to keep Proy Stella inside the Knicks because I can't handle it.

Amelia said that the concentration of magic is getting darker and darker?

"Queer, Queer Queer"

Amelia says you might want to stop it.

It didn't seem that way when I realized it, but he said it was more than twice as thick.

I immediately reported to the captain.

"Okay. Let's retreat today."

I'll report it up there, and I think I'll turn to you for judgment.

I switched lines and tried to get back to the King's Capital - Amelia's feathers swelling next door.

"Que!"

"Ku!"

We both lowered our postures and were on guard.

"What is it? Are you close?

Did the captains feel anything, too, and were immediately in possession of the weapon?

Gasari and I came out of the grass...

"Mm-hmm. What, it was your lords"

Master Siel, a swordsman in full body armor.

In my hand, I have a cage. Inside, lots of herbs.

"Look, Lislis! I found some healthy grass earlier!

Weakened, fell off my knees.
