Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

The next day, we were to take the mill and leave for the ruins.

Wait for the mill in front of the Second Squad building. I was at work early today.

As I followed Amelia and Stella and waited arm in arm as Album and Esmeralda watched me, the mill came on a small run.

"Good morning, sister!

"Morning, Mill"

Wearing an expedition cape from above the Knights uniform, holding a cane looks somewhat crisp.

I used to feel uncomfortable wearing gear, but now I'm getting tight.

I'm sure I've been rubbed a lot during the Knights' training.

"O ~, pancakeno sister Jean!

Album raises his hand and greets Mill with ease.

"Wah, it's Album! Long time no see!"

Mill and Album are hands in hand and happy to reunite. Were you that close?

"It's been a long time since Amelia and Stella have either!

"Que!"

"Qu"

When I met her before, Stella was hiding behind Amelia, but today I was able to greet her firmly across the street.

"Mill, I'm gonna have Stella come with me this time."

"Okay."

Mill is still an apprentice knight. For that reason, the captain decided to have Stella come with him.

"Me, I studied magic and mastered the low-level magic of the four major attributes."

"It is. Amazing!"

In addition to healing magic, they can now use four major attributes - fire, water, wind, and earthly magic.

Normally, wizards can only use one attribute.

Pretty promising knight for the future.

"So, Zito, what happened to the rabbit looking at me with her eyes?

"Oh, that's the Esmeralda of the Demon Stone Beast (Carbuncle)"

"Ka, isn't Carbuncle the creature in the story?

"Seems different"

Although it was an extinct species, it could be discovered this time.

The director of the Phantom Beast Conservation Bureau, the Marquis was so excited that he sprayed his nosebleed, it must be amazing.

"Wow, cute"

"Oh, Mill, no. 'Cause this kid, he's crazy."

"Cuff!!

Esmeralda threatens her hair upside down as Mill tries to touch it.

"Wow, that's dangerous!

He tried to bite at his fingertips, so Mill can pull his hand in haste.

"Maybe this kid has a contract with your sister, too?

"Well, once."

"Su, wow"

Mill took a distance from me and said smudge.

"Something tells the story only around your sister."

"No, no, Mill, because it's impossible to use the four major attributes"

There are rare phantom beasts around, spirits, and fairies just big heroes, and I'm a normal elf myself.

I'm no match for a mill who can handle magic.

"... no, from what I can tell, we're both halfway through the story."

"Ah, Jun, it's you! Good morning."

"Good morning. Lislis Apprentice Soldier"

Soon, it seemed like Urgas was coming.

"That, Jun, after a while of watching, has he grown tall?

"Ah, yes. Just a little."

"Fine, I envy you"

Sometimes Mill is close to his age with Urgas, and he seems to fit the story.

No, although I'm closer.

In older (me) and younger (mill), mill may be easier to talk to.

Then comes Mr Gal and Mr Sura, Mr Zara and Mr Lieselotte.

They ran into each other on the way.

"Zara, sister (huh)...... brother, long time no see!

"Mill, it's been a while. I'm glad you're feeling better."

"Yeah!"

When I milled, it was like calling me "sister" for a moment. I want to think it's my fault.

Mr. Gal and Sura are also reunited, and they look happy.

It's been awhile since I started, so I saddled Stella and tried riding training her.

"Wah!!"

I was worried you'd be okay, but it seemed like you could ride without difficulty.

He's more comfortable riding than a horse.

"Stella, me, isn't it heavy?

"Kwwww!"

"Mill, it's not heavy at all."

"Good!"

While this is happening, it will be time for morning prayers.

The captain gave instructions for the expedition, still with a harrowing face today.

"As I said yesterday, today we will conduct an investigation of the ruins in the western part of the Wang Capital"

Apparently, the magic protection bureau member has said he wants to accompany him, but the captain seems to have dismissed it quickly.

"I'm scared they're gonna do this on their own."

Indeed......

That's why we're headed to the site search with the addition of a mill to the second unit.

◇ ◇ ◇

They tear up the woods behind the king's capital, and there are ruins about half an hour's walk away.

The first time I heard it, I felt incredible.

"Oh, that's it!

At the tip of Mill's finger, something like a stone shed stood secluded.

As we approach, we can see that it is a fairly old building.

This is the entrance and exit, and it looks like it's going down the basement stairs.

"Hey, little squirrel. This door doesn't react to the Wizard's magic, does it?

"Uh-huh, I think it's magic."

Mill, who was a spiritual witch in the village, has quite a bit of magic in his family. He seems to be guessing that he reacted to it.

"Then the door will react to the Great Squirrel."

Greater squirrel, possibly about me? Compared to Little Squirrel, it's not cute...... Now put that down.

"How do you open it?

"Eh, I'll actually open it."

Mill stands in front of the cabin and touches the magic formation that is at the door. Then, the stone doors are gobbly gobbly! and made a heavy noise and opened it.

Get your hands off me. After a while, the door closes.

"I see. Is that how it works? You're not responding to Fore Elf, are you?

"Uh-huh, what do you think?

"Hey, Big Lislis, you try it, too."

"Okay."

Stand in front of the stone door and take a deep breath. Before touching the magic formation, he looked back at the mill and asked questions.

"Um, Mill."

"What, sister?

"This, the moment you touch it, you're not gonna bite, are you?

"It's okay, 'cause I won't"

"Good."

I regained my mind and touched the door.

The magic team glowed, and the door opened, sounding as heavy as the mill did.

"Hmm?

Before it opened, it stopped.

Somehow, the opening was so narrow that my legs barely got in.

When I let go of my hand, I won't have to wait for a few seconds.

"Eh, your sister's..."

"Looks like Fore Elf isn't the only one who can open and close it."

While Mill was choosing the words, the captain made it clear to me.

Thank you so much.

"Your sister, look, because there's a sorcerer's teacher seal or something"

"Right."

Also, it made my sister care......

Let's sneak in later and give him a penny.

When the mill opens the door again and goes inside, the entrance and exit doors close.

I'm kind of nervous.

"─ Ah!!

I wonder if the mill has raised its voice, a magic formation floats at my feet.

"Mill, what is this!

"Transfer formation!!

Oh, my God.

I can't believe the metastasis team suddenly appeared.

"Whoa, whoa!!

We got scattered, we got flown away.
