“Chapter 76: Different Course of Action”

– Mistress, go!

– Gotcha.

Mumuruu grabbed me and flew away while watching Letty fire off her spells.

– Feria, take this!

The elf and the maid were pretty far away, but I managed to hurl a bottle with green liquid towards Feria.

– What was that? (Mumuruu)

– A new potion I made. It has an issue, though.

– Issue?

– Don’t worry about it. Feria supervises every creation I make in the guild. I’m sure she’ll know how to use it.

– I guess we just have to trust her.

Mumuruu took one last glance and picked up the speed.

We were flying at a speed that no human should experience. I didn’t even want to think about opening my eyes, I just clung to Mumuruu’s chest.

Occasionally a whooshing sound would reach my ears, perhaps from a magical beast from the demon world.

– Just a little longer. Hold tight.

– …Right.

– Feria, what is that?

– A gift from Takaya. It’s a potion, but not for us.

The contents of the potion were unclear to Letty.

“Ah, it’s just Takaya being thoughtful once again” she assumed.

But it’s thanks to that thoughtfulness that they were here today.

Takaya might be a bit unreliable, but he always shows up when it’s most needed.

His only flaw is being too humble.

That’s the Takaya that Letty fell in love with.

– You seem to have an idea (Letty)

Letty focused on her opponents.

She’s pretty good at fighting, but she’d rather leave the strategizing to the elf.

– Letty, I’ll leave the offensive to you. I’ll take care of the defense.

– Understood. But, aren’t you a backline fighter too?

– Yes, but I’m a wind magic user. Not very effective when the air is filled with miasma.

Elves are a very non-confrontational race. Even more so than humans.

Feria doesn’t talk much about her past, nor about how she joined Searat, nor about why the president of Searat behaves like her dog.

– They run away. Smart, but stupid.

But none of that matters now.

– Stupid? Rich coming from you. Be it four or two, we can beat you with one hand.

For now, their job was to protect Takaya in the demon world.

And they would blow away anyone who dared interfere.
