"Wow, look at all the different types of plants in this part,"
"Yeah, I never seen some of these even in my hometown,"
"Does any of these can be turned into a potion?"
Alros shook his head at the antics of the three women in front of him.
When he let out Eliana with plans to keep her outside as a guide of sort, some of the women wished to follow him as well.
After much thought put into it, Alros decided to get Fiora to join him, on the account of her understanding of different plants, meaning she would know some of the plants the might encounter, and would allow him to pick one that would be useful for them.
As for Mina, he wanted to have his lover out, so she gets the privilege, much to others' chagrin. However, they could not disobey and have to agree with it.
He did not allow anyone else out, on the account it would be hard if they suddenly found themselves against an A-rank monster.
"Make sure to pick any that of use. We will then try to cultivate it in the space," Fiora and Eliana nodded, as he gave them a basket each.
They readily accepted it before running around, picking up herb, mushrooms, and fruits. Thankfully, they are still sensible enough to not go to far, remaining in his sight.
If they get far enough he could still sense them, but whether he could react on time if the are on danger is another question entirely.
As for Mina, she keep close to him, walking besides him. Out of the blue, Alros put his arms around her shoulder, making the alchemist jolt before she relaxed, slowly leaning to the demon.
While his hands were on Mina, his eyes were on the other two. One, to watch over them. Two, to watch them. Two different things.
Alros leap towards the furthest Or, before doing the same thing and introduce it's head into the ground, knocking it out. Realizing the danger they were in, the rest tried to get jump on him but a single snap of finger cause vines thicker than an Orc's arm to grew around them, trapping and binding them.
As the rest of the Orcs struggled, trying to escape, Alros unleashed his demonic auraz staring down at them. Such action was mkre than enough to make them tremble in fear, their bodies stopped moving for a moment.
"Be subdued, or die," he said. The Orcs did not need to think long before chosing.

"There is an Orc Camp nearby. And from the looks of it, it's larger than what we found so far," he exclaimed, with the others nodding, though only Fiora knew the significance of his words. After all, she is part of war council and knew how big some of the Orc Camp they found at the Inner Region are.
For him to say it is bigger mean there should be a catch.
The stare Fiora gave him more than enough to tell what is in her mind.
"There are Ogres in the Orc Camp, acting as the leaders, but the true leader is the Troll," Fiora's pupil dilated, with the same happening to the other two.
They knew the significance of a Troll in an Orc Camp, as it meant the camp was large enough to support a gigantic creature lile a Troll.
"There should be Goblins as well, right?" Mina asked. Seeing Alros nod, she uttered, "Let's call it Fiend Camp to make it easier,"
The rest look at one another before agreeing. After all, it is the most factually correct word for the camp.
"So, you will attack it," Eliana said, not questioning it, as she already knew it will happen regardless of her opinion of it.
"Of course. But, I'm going to scout first before doing anything. Don't want to be caught of guard," the three nodded before Alros opened the system space, allowing them to enter it before h flew towards the direction of the Fiend Camp.
