Chapter 43: On the Way Home

Chapter 43: On the Way Home

Tatsuro was feeling a bit bewildered that he had gained new possibilities thanks to the book he had read, but it actually proved that the mixing of light and dark was not imaginary.

While he was satisfied with this, he was also afraid to acquire dark magic uncontrollably while he hadnt even completed it at Lv. 1 yet, so he decided to devote his SP to the other magic he wanted to try.

Even though it seems to be a useful magic, its at such a low level, so I think Ill take as much wind magic as I can get first.

Wind magic, what are you going to do with it?

Hmm, I think it would be more interesting to see it in action first.

Well, you can show me then. So, I have no objection to it!

As Ais smile pushed him, Tatsuro acquired as much wind magic as he could with the SP (141) he had at the moment. (120), he acquired a new skill, Wind Magic Lv. 5.

Ive got it now. , its already evening!

Eh!? I was so focused in the tent that I didnt notice.

If we dont hurry, it will be time to go home.

I have to take a look at the lake while I can.

Yeah!

He crawled out of the tent and took a good look at the salt lake bathed in the setting sun.

So cool Its glowing red .

The place was even redder than the setting sun, and the transparent salt bottom glowed like it was twinkling in the wind as the water surface swayed, and there was a fantastic red starry sky.

Is that the salt of the lake itself glowing?

Yes. If not, I dont think it would have that brightness and color.

And so, the two of them again look at the mysterious salt lake in silence.

They held hands without thinking of each other and were mesmerized by the sight for a long time until Zendo came to call them.

Then they joined the artisans, who were all ready to go home, and with bowed heads, they started on their way back, taking up positions in the front and the back as they had done when they hurried in.Gẹtt the latest novels at n.o/(v)/e/l/bin(.)com

How was the lake?

It was amazing, so nice!

Hahaha, I see I see.

On top of Zendos wagon, Ai was talking about how impressed she was with the two faces of the lake she had seen today.

Zendo listened smilingly to her, as if he was a good old man dealing with his granddaughter.

After about an hour of this, Ai suddenly felt something enter her field of vision.

Grandpa, stop for a moment!

I understand! Oi, stop!

Zendo immediately went to the back, urging them to stop with words and gestures.

The other salt workers, all of whom work together every day, showed great coordination, and soon all the carriages came to a halt.

{Ai, whats wrong?}

The chase went well, and the Phalur was finally driven out of the trees and onto the cobblestones by a beam of light.

It had an organ at the end of one hand that resembled a human face, now pierced with Ais kunai, and the other hand had a sharp claw with a return.

The body was shaped like a rugby ball, about the size of an adult man, with a single large compound eye in the upper half, and a round mouth the same size as the upper half, drooling as it flicked its teeth, and supported by four thin arthropods underneath.

ZTOP ET!

It looks creepy too , ya aha!

Ai caught the claw that was released as she reached the front of the phalur with her left greatsword and stabbed the spear with the spiral grooves in her right hand into the compound eye while half-turning it.

Skill: Swordsmanship Lv.2 acquired.

Skill: Spear Technique Lv. 2.

Ztoppp eetttttttttt

Hey, stop, youre gross!

She lifted the spear she had stuck in the ground with her right hand and slammed it into the ground.

Ztoppp

It died with its lower half crushed, staining the cobblestones with its green bodily fluids.

Skill: Spear Technique Lv.3

Ueee

While feeling nauseous from the devastation in front of her and the strange smell, she immediately pulled back the spear and shook it up and down to blow off the bodily fluids, cleaning it up as much as possible before storing it with the large sword in the Item Box.

Next, Ai gave detailed instructions to Tatsuro about the position of the light ball and had him burn it out with a laser, while trying not to look at the crushed farrule in front of her.

{Tatsuro, its safe now. }

{Ai, you dont look okay.}

{Because hes gross, he drooled all over me!}

{Oh, thats tough. Well wash it together when we get home.}

{Yeah. thank you }

With that, she finished her reminder and went to join Zendo.

When she explained the situation to him, he gave her a subtle look of sympathy and said, Ah.

Well, Im glad youre okay, anyway!

Right..

Then, were good to go?

Yeah, no problem.

O-ou

Not knowing what to do with Ai, who was in a rare state of downer, Zendo instructed the others to proceed with the wagon, and the rest of the journey to Obsul was trouble-free.
