Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

Poof, pompous, cold droplets fall on my cheeks.

"Liechtenberger Magic Soldier! Liechtenberger Magic Soldier, wake up!

"Yeah......"

This voice is Lieutenant Berley. When I gently opened my eyelids, I saw blue eyes right in front of me.

"Liechtenberger Magic Soldier! Good. Are you awake?"

"Mmm..."

Me and Lieutenant Berley, who were flown in the transfer after entering the ruins, seem to have been flown here on time.

No, not here. Me and Lieutenant Berley were all wet.

The surrounding area looks like a bell cave made of shredded jade. Was it magical or slightly glowing? The interior is limp and quite chilly.

"Um, why... geho, geho!

I tried to talk to him at the same time I got up, and he coughed up.

Lieutenant Berley will mop my back.

"We were dropped in the water."

"Become!?

In the immediate vicinity, there was a large hole filled with groundwater. There seemed to be a lot of depth, and the moment I fell, I seemed out of my mind.

If it weren't for Lieutenant Berley, I'd be freaked out.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Berley"

"No, never mind. More than that..."

"More than that?

"I wasn't breathing, so I was given a procedure to air into my lungs"

That would mean I had an artificial breath.

Kind of, pretty embarrassing, but I can't help it because it's a life-saving procedure.

"Lieutenant Berley is my benefactor."

"I just did the obvious"

For now, I'll catch a cold as it is. I magically lit the fire and dried my clothes.

Lieutenant Berley even retrieved the cane when he fell into the water.

I can only thank you.

For one thing, get an idea of what's going on.

Apparently, we're the only ones flown here.

Since it fell into the water, I thought that the portable food Mel had given me had been wiped out. The food in the leather bag was in a bottle and was waterproof so that it could be wet in the water.

The leather water bag also has a tight stopper, so it doesn't seem to be zero.

Among the portable edibles were dried fruit with caramel, cheese, dried meat with a behavioral meal, and bread with chocolate bars (sticks). Since the lid was stiffened with wax, there was not even a drop of water in it.

"That's Mel. Wow. But how did you get this far?

"It seems that Squirrel health soldiers have previously fallen into the river with Zara to cripple their food. So I guess this is how they were taking care of it"

"Speaking of which, that happened."

Mel's attitude, which feeds on failure, wants to be apprenticed.

While I warmed up my body with fire, I decided to eat portable food. I'm not hungry, but I chilled my body, so I should be draining my strength, because Deputy Berley told me.

"If it was Mel, you would have invented and eaten the food we have here."

"Right."

How can I think of such a thing? Always, no wonder.

The bread seems to be sliced elongated and baked again. Firm surface and inside.

I guess this is the kind of processing we do to make it more conservative.

Bite hard and drink with water. It doesn't taste bad, but it's a little hard to eat.

Deputy Berley seemed to think the same thing, grinning bitterly at each other.

"Oh, yeah"

Lieutenant Berley groans pompously and takes the cup of metal he was lowering to his belt.

I was wondering what I was going to do, and I was putting the cheese in a chisel. Broil it on fire and melt the cheese inside.

"If you tangle this melted cheese in bread, it might make it a little easier to eat"

Like I was told, I tried entangling cheese in bread.

"Mmm...... oh, yummy!?

Crisp-toothed bread was surprisingly easy to eat by intertwining cheese. I can swallow without having to be with water without getting stuck in my throat.

When the cheese runs out, wash the cup with water and now try to melt the caramel.

"This is delicious too!

"Good."

Deputy Berley smiled and muttered uncommonly.

"Lislis, it was an imitation of a health soldier, but I'm glad I succeeded"

"Yeah, really"

Thanks to Lieutenant Berley, we were able to have delicious bread.

When you're done eating, finish the fire and move on.

He was ordered to walk not too far away, led by Deputy Berley.

Grab the wand and follow the rest.

Unlike usual, my breasts are bothered because it's just the two of us.

I now realize that it was usually front, back, left, and right, protected by other crew members.

If you don't hold on. Yes, I shrug in my heart many times.

Then suddenly, Deputy Berley stopped and pulled out his double sword.

"Liechtenberger Magic Soldier, it's a demon!

"Yeah, yeah."

"If there's a gap in the demon, ask for backup"

"Wow, okay."

At the same time I finished saying that, a demon came out of a hole where the groundwater in the bell cave had accumulated.

"Chu ~ i!!

It was the demon of a rat bubbling out of his back - a water mouse (Switchu) - that peeked into his face from the water and jumped out onto the ground.

It's about a metre in size and looks like a standalone.

Immediately, Lieutenant Berley was slashed by a water mouse.

"Zi!!

The blade of the double sword looked like it had slit the neck muscle, but the skin was thick or it didn't even seem to reach the meat.

A bubble drifts on the back of the water mouse, making a sound with the bread and bursting.

Looks like a bubble containing a shock wave.

"Come on!"

Lieutenant Berley distanced himself from the water rat and put himself in shape.

In that gap, I release a ball of flame.

The flame hit the back of a water mouse and succeeded in breaking all the bubbles.

"Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

The impact frightens the water rat.

In that gap, Lieutenant Berley was slashed again by a water mouse, this time stabbing his sword with his heart in his eye.

"Machu......"

The water mouse died while making a mysterious noise.

"Liechtenberger magician, are you hurt?

"Yeah, I'm fine. Where's Lieutenant Berley?

"I'm not hurt, either"

Manage to finish the fight and move on.

The last thing we arrived at was a square full of groundwater, like a lake.

"This place..."

Lieutenant Berley seems to have felt some sign, pulling out his double sword.

I, too, grabbed a cane so I could shoot a ball of flame at any time.

'Wait, I'm not a demon!

What emerged from the lake was an inexplicable creature whose upper body was a naked plump middle-aged man and whose lower body was a fish.

"O demon!

'I'm saying no. I'm the lake's finest. "

The demon in front of me calls himself a fairy.

I'll meet Deputy Berley in the eye and show him what to do.

"Yeah, I'm telling you, it just looks like a demon."

"But not at all willing to kill"

After discussing it, I decided to admit that it was a fairy.

"I'm Anna Berry, she's my man Liezelotte Liechtenberger"

"Hmm. I am the fisherman who guards this place. They told me to get rid of all intruders in here, but I saw something noble."

What the hell did you see?

"I could fill the cave with water and kill it if I did, but I didn't"

"How could that be?

'Cause I've seen maiden and maiden kissing.'

……

……

Even though it was just an artificial breath, this fisherman seems to be making a hell of a mistake.

"Well, we'd like to join our people."

"I can make a transition formation. But '

I had a bad feeling.

"There are conditions."

……

……

"I want to see a maiden kiss again."

What is this perverted fairy saying?

"If you don't see it, you can't leave."

……

……

If we defeat this fisherman, we may never return to earth again.

What to do. Look softly at Lieutenant Berley.

"Lichtenberger Magic Soldier, I'm sorry"

"Huh?"

Without having to discuss it, Lieutenant Berley kissed me softly on my forehead.

"Awwww!!!!"

I hear fishmongers screaming, not at the kiss.

'Thank you... thank you, honorable...!

Nothing, it didn't seem like it had to be a kiss to the lips.

I'm relieved.

Then the fishermen made a transfer for us.

"Keep up the good work."

We were transferred to rendezvous with each other under mysterious drop-off words.
