Chapter 216.2 - The Ability of Key Player

Who knows, the fortress could be an entrance to the hidden area of the dungeon ri~ght?

Uhm, it's empty

See~

I've told you~.

Bastard, there is only a dilapidated and dusty fortress left.

There was no treasure chest, secret entrance, or anything else that caught my attention. It was just a temple-like room filled with junk and broken furniture. Nothing like the ruin of the city.

Here I expected to find somethi~ng.

You've too much expectation, Momokawa.

We can't find anything, not even a coin.

Perhaps it was hidden very carefully, to the point that not even Natsukawa-san could find it. No, since Souma-kun possessed the same detection skill as Natsukawa-san, maybe there really was nothing here since he didn't say anything.

By the way, Souma-kun was still with Himeno-san.

He~y, can't we leave already? There's nothing to be found here after all.

Shall we try to fight that armoured bastard next?

JuryMary combi, who had already decided on their next target, moved forward as they slapped my rear.

When I sat down on a dusty sandbag-like thing and brushed it, the white dust-like flour scattered in the air.

Eh, wait a minute, what kind of flour is this?

Who knows!

Though they were not that curious, that wasn't the case for me.

At least, I knew that this was not mere dust or white sand, it was genuine white flour.

Perhaps the sack was filled with some sort of dangerous white flour.

The fortress in the outskirts was a suitable place to hide that kind of thing after all. And it was tightly guarded. Could it be that We had hit the jackpot?

LickThi-This is!?

And then, the moment I tried to lick it, I found the missing piece of the puzzle.

EVERYONE, LET'S BRING THIS SACK BACK WITH US IMMEDIATELY! BRING THEM ALL!

No, that's impossible.

Do you know just how many sacks are gathering dust in this place?

Ah, you're right. But let's bring some back, as much as possible.

Turns out we had really hit the jackpot. This was a huge discovery.

I had to go back and tell Mei-chan that we had found the wheat flour.

===

The next day after we found the wheat flour in the fortress located on the outskirts of the Underworld that we thought as an emergency provision.

We were visiting the familiar resort area today.

Blue sea, white sandy beach.

UGYOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I am not sure if it's Satou-san or Shinohara-san, but you'll certainly resent the gomas once you witness how they ate her.

Surely, the reason for my hatred for gomas was because I saw what they did to Satou-san's corpse. Although I still couldn't ascertain myself, it wasn't that far from that reason.

They might be small fry, but it doesn't change the fact that they're humanoid monsters. Am I clear here? They're enemies of humankind. That's why treat them like some sort of cockroach.

You're right about them being akin to a cockroach but

Even if you're not convinced, you've to do your job.

Even if we managed to develop the lite potion, we needed to pay attention to the preparation for healing spells too because we could encounter a situation in which we couldn't use the potion during battle.

And the fact that we only had Sakura as our proper healer was one of my major concerns. Having an untrustworthy person handle such an important matter was the worst thing to do as a manager.

Though we were still within the safety margin thanks to the lite potion, I wanted Himeno-san to raise her healing spell proficiency to increase that safety margin Though that seemingly was impossible since she wasn't a Healer anymore.

That's why, do your best.

Uee Lesser Heal.

Thus, Himeno-san started to train her healing spell on the wounded govu, albeit reluctantly.

I stood behind her to see the effect of her spell while sorting out the gathered ingredients and medicinal herbs around the vicinity and appraising their effect.

Just like that, I spent two hours in this place.

O~i, Momokawa~

Ah, the hunting team has returned.

The experimental site of govu was right beside the fairy plaza of the resort area which happened to be the main area used by the hunting team.

The ones who returned were the Totem Pole Trio and Natsukawa-san.

With Class Rep, Yamada, and Arachne Rem following behind.

Oi Momokawa, can you take a look at this guy?

Said Yamada as he pointed at the prey dragged by Arachne.

The said prey was rampaging relentlessly against the thread of Arachne Rem that coiled around them.

Living raptor, huh. It's quite big, and lively.

Of course it is, capturing it alive is quite a headache.

Thank you very much for your good performance.

What I needed right now was a raptor. While I had Alfa as my main mount, I did want another vehicle.

I mean, a vehicle to be used for another purpose.

Well since everyone is back, let's wait for Mei-chan to finish baking her bread.
