Chapter 15-Their Statement and Izumi Encampment

"Fuu ......!"(Marina)

Marina sits up, covered in blood.

I let out a breath as I watched the headless Zarnag fall to the ground with a thud.

The two people behind me also seem to be releasing their tension.

"Attack complete. Thank you for watching!　　...... 'End of delivery'"(Yuki)

...... It was a pretty dangerous fight.

It was a battle that should not have been given to a novice.

This delivery ...... may have been a tailwind for Marina and her team, but for me, it's video evidence of failure.

The fact that there were no casualties was just a coincidence; Marina could have lost her life with the first blow from Zarnag.

"Thanks for your help but  You three ...... are going to get a sermon later."(Yuki)

"Oh, terrible!"(Marina)

Marina sat up and turned to me.

I'm relieved to see that she's doing well, but at the same time, I'm puzzling over how to lecture this good-natured girl.

"All right. But I'm going to preach to Yuki, too. ......!"(Marina)

"Why will you do that? ......"(Yuki)

"Because you were going to die, weren't you?"(Marina)

Rain stares at me, who hardens as a jerk.

"I'd like to say a few words about the instructions you just gave me."(Rain)

"Me too!"(Silk)

It's three against one.

It's not that I'm outnumbered, it's just that I'm not sure it's worth it.

It is true that the inexperienced three of them may not understand how dangerous the situation was, and my actions may not have been completely clear-cut.

Even though we ended up winning, I should explain that it was a battle that was left to luck.

It's a good thing that the Prismic Missile was effective at that time, but I shudder to think what would have happened if it had been resisted.

"It's a compromise: ...... The four of us should have a review meeting."(Yuki)

"Yes, let's do that. Let's do that."(Silk)

Silk smiled at my suggestion, and Marina and Rain nodded.

I stored the headless Zarnag with his head in the magic bag.

Even though it was burned by lightning, it was not in bad condition. If you sell it off at the guild, you can make a good amount of money.

"Uh ... I feel sick."(Marina)

"You were hit head-on with a lot of force and had a blood bath. ......"(Yuki)

Marina,on  whose body the blood has begun to solidify, drops her eyebrows

In the event that you're an adventurer, you're going to have to deal with this kind of situation a lot more often than not, but it's too much to ask a girl of your age not to worry about it.

Besides, Zarnag's blood is not very good for her.

It would be better to wash it off quickly.

"We can wash it off in the river, but there's a little spring over there. Let's take a break there.

We've already defeated the beast, so we've got a some time to spare, and it won't hurt to take it easy a bit.

Besides, the spring is one of the campsites that we had planned from the beginning.

It might be a good idea to rest there today.

Since there are no more magical beasts, the rest of the day will be just like a casual D-rank request.

"Let's do that. I'm a little tired from talking to the spirits, so I'm exhausted."(Silk)

"I'm also exhausted. I've got no magic left in me. ......"(Rain)

To the three people who are sickContinuous recovery of magical powerRefresh mana> Is given.

Especially, the magic used by Rain

<Lightning strikeThunderbolt> Is the fifth floor magic.

If you use an immature wizard, you can't help but boil your head and turn your eyes. I was quite surprised that Rain was in full control, but in reality it would be quite exhausted. ..

Even if you look at Rain alone, I can tell that they should take the rest of the day off.

"This way. Take your time and follow me."(Yuki)

As the three of us tiredly walked, we made our way to the desired spring.

It's a place I often visit to gather materials for healing potions, and I've already confirmed that it's a relatively safe place to camp.

I had already confirmed that it was a relatively safe place to camp, and I was planning to use it as my encampment even if I didn't encounter the magical beast Zarnag.

After a short walk, the view suddenly opened up.

We arrived at our encampment, where the sound of a small stream was pleasant.

"Wow, beautiful ......!"(Marina)

Marina's eyes lit up in surprise.

I felt a little nostalgic at the sight of her.

I had been surprised by this sight when I first came here.

It was in the middle of a forest, with a flat rock in the middle of the spring that looked like an island.

The water was shoulder-deep at its deepest point, and the clear water was drinkable.

"The water is clear and drinkable. It will be dark soon, so let's camp here for the day."(Yuki)

"Right. Now that we've dealt with the hexenbiest, all we have to do is go to the Yeomen Falls."(Rain)

"Yeah. It's scarier to walk through the forest at night when you're exhausted."(Yuki)

If possible, it's best not to march into the forest while exhausted.

"I'll leave the preparations for the encampment to us, and take your time. Marina, go wash the blood off your hands."(Yuki)

"Yes, sir."(Marina)

After watching Marina's back as she ran off, I pulled out a tarp and sleeping bag for the camp from my magic bag.

I could have used a tent, but a tent tends to delay the first response in case something happens, and it blocks the heat from the fire.

"Hooray!"(Marina)

As I listened to the loud sound of water as Marina jumped into the spring, I proceeded with my preparations for the camp.
