Shut-in Magician

Hurry back to the cave, Siu grinned bitterly when he saw the faces of Hildegardo, who remained far-winded and who did not know what to do.

"As you can see, you're wandering through the woods, breaking it all over. Fortunately, healing magic seems to have cured my injuries, but I'm tired of being chased by insects, and I'm not eating."

"... well! Okay, I'll get it ready right away. Coke, get me some clothes for you."

"Ah, yes! Please, come here."

Coke, who follows Alice as a squire, seemed to know who Hildegard was. I was in a hurry to show them to the place where the girls had their own little room.

Alice started preparing meals for me with Vivi.

"Siu, you haven't either, have you?

"Yeah. It's already peppery. I'm tired."

When Hildegard was gone, it became noisy as soon as possible.

Everyone gathers at the table and starts talking to no one.

"The students in the first square have already begun to retreat with their escorts," he said.

"They even reached the students who were in the middle of the camp by evening, and they rescued the sick students first. Dr. Matt said he was sorry it was the last time."

"Oh well. Then I wonder if it will be about noon tomorrow. Did it take two days after all?"

"You were right about Siu."

"I really thought it was a little quicker. In a day or so, I thought I'd come at least for an escort."

When I sighed, he gave me the salad first and a platter of weed in a plate made of wood by Alice.

Ferres is also under the table, getting the meat of the beast to eat.

"There was nothing around here?

Asked while eating, Leon replied that there was nothing special about it.

"From time to time, I hear amazing noises."

"Yeah, yeah, like an explosion"

"Oh, that. There was an explosion."

"... at the stampede point?

Leon and Rigdor climbed out and asked.

"Yeah. It's not clear, so I was blasting it to make room for the Dragon Knight's health. There aren't many aggressive wizards in the Dragon Knight. But if that's all you can do, it'll be enough."

"... wow. Did you see the battle of the Dragon Knight with its eyes?"

Always a calm Leon excited and a rough nose. Of course, Rigdor had a red cheek.

"Nah. You saw it!

I had a somewhat unpleasant feeling, so I tried to intimidate him a bit to restrain him.

"Instead, I saw the carcass of a messy warcraft with splashed limbs like a mountain."

Everyone breathed woolly.

And we're looking at each other.

"Some knights were badly hit by the venom of the Warcraft, and the battlefield is nothing."

Saying, I drank soup.

"Ah, delicious. Alice, you're a better cook."

"... Yeah, yeah. More so, Mr. Siu, the"

I complimented her, but Alice's face was a colour that wouldn't float, and she was worried. I was wondering what was going on and Vivi came from behind.

"You can't talk like that when you're eating! Everybody! Siu's tired, so why don't you just leave him alone when you're eating?

Everyone rushed off the table because it was something to put their hands on their hips and anger them.

"Already!... but this way everyone can laugh and talk because Siu is back safely. I'm glad there's nothing."

"Yeah. Thanks, Vivi"

She looked a little lit up, and then she handed me the bread.

"Yes, we need to eat properly. Tomorrow you're gonna go help anyway, right?

"Oh, yeah, I guess. I haven't heard, but it will, I guess."

"Then eat a lot and sleep slowly!

"Vivi, you sound like your mother."

I smiled and said with praise, for some reason, Vivi's face suddenly clouded.

"... Guys, that's what I say, do I look that old?

Apparently, it's become a serious problem.

Siu hastily put the bread down and went into her comfort. Next door, Alice finally started to nibble her grin out of her worried face.

After the meal, he purified and then put Ferres to bed first, and Siu had a meeting with everyone.

Seems like most students were caged this day as well, but Leon and Rigdor, as well as Stans and adult escorts, were looking around alternately for exploring the surroundings and setting traps, etc.

Food surprisingly remained because of the dismantling of trapped beasts and the gathering of wild grass.

Dino of the Barracks Department will manage supplies, so he seems to be saving well as well.

In case you think about it, you think we're all working on it?

That's why the teacher also replied that rescue was the last thing they needed.

"Some students can be purified, and I knew it would be hard not to take a bath, so thank you very much."

"Oh, yeah."

"And the toilet that Siu thought of. That one has a good reputation anyway. You should go to the Merchant Guild as soon as you get back to King's Capital."

And so on, at the end of the day, it was a soothing story.

Incidentally, the owner of rock magic seemed to realize the usefulness of his powers, straining and widening his cave, further enhancing his habitation performance.

I was told that Siu would give me a private room and I tried my best to get him to sleep.

I did get a good night's sleep that day.

Even though it was a private room, it was only big enough for an adult to sleep alone, but it made a proper fuzzy bed for me.

The dead grass is dried, and the purified product is laid down multiple times, and the sheets that were brought for nursing are laid on top of it.

The room was also furnished with a curtain of spreading, and I saw the kindness of being able to sleep slowly. Thank you.

When I woke up in the morning and stretched out, my body felt so good.

When I opened the curtain of the crawl, the curtain opened just about the time the girls woke up too.

The curtains in the women's room were also decorated with leaves and flowers, which were interesting to see in some Asian taste.

Laughing, Vivi tilted her neck and answered honestly because she asked what was going on.

"Because I'm decorating flowers. Girls are amazing."

"Really? But this is the place, so you're depressed. I was just trying to make it a little brighter."

"Right. I think that's a great thing."

"Really? At first, Coke pulled me off, and Alice was stuck."

"But not now, right?

"Yeah, sort of."

Eh heh, and Vivi laughed in the light.

"It's still early. What if Siu was resting?

"What about Vivi?

"I prepare breakfast. I'm used to early mornings."

"I'll help you, too. I'm early in the morning too."

That's what I said, and we headed as far as where it was in the kitchen.

In the large central part, two students on duty sat down and greeted each other in the morning.

"I guess it's time to take turns watching the table. I'm gonna get on guard duty."

That's what I said, and I headed to the room where one of them was in his bedroom. There's only one men's room, it's a big room. However, those on watch were given private rooms. Seems to be due to the consideration not to interfere with sleep due to time differences.

I thought it was something we thought about a lot.

This morning's meal might be the last, and Siu showed it as if it had been removed from his backpack and removed the ingredients of the stock he had kept.

"That, what?

Vivi stared, so Siu laughed and bragged.

"Soup ingredients. It's the same hassle to make anyway, so I left a lot of them there. I solidified it to make it easy to carry. This will make your adventure tasteless."

"... you think funny"

"It's a surprise to be traveling only with grilled bread."

"You're staining yourself. It's like some adventurer's dialogue. Guests who come to us talk a lot about eating, but I wonder if it might be like an occupational disease specific to adventurers."

"I think so. You see, as soon as an adventurer on a long journey returns to the city, I say..."

"" Meat, give me meat!

The two of us laugh face-to-face. It's a passage in the story of a famous adventurer.

"Actually, meat can be sourced locally."

"Oh, the hunted warcraft? But there are a lot of things you can't eat."

"It's poisonous or something. But surprisingly, you can eat anything."

"Hmm. I don't like you. I can't do this."

"Oh, snakes or something?

"Stop. I can't just ask that name."

If I was making a scene like that, the other girls would wake up.

"I'll help!

Alice rushed to join us, so Siu waved fine.

"You've always been the cook, haven't you? I'll do it this morning. Sit down."

"No. I'll help"

No, they gave it back to me clarity.

"Really? So will you cut this bread in half?

"Yes!"

As Alice strained to help, Coke wanted to rest but couldn't, that's how she was going right and left.
