We prepared to fight the orcs again

“It can’t be helped. I didn’t want to use it too frequently, but...”

“Gazz...go...gugaa!?”

While listening to Mr. Ekenhart’s snoring, which sounded as if something was stuck in his throat, I rummaged through my luggage and took out some herbs.

Of course, they were sleeping herbs.

Not only did they have the effect of healing fatigue by inducing a deep sleep, but they also helped you fall asleep more quickly. If I ate these herbs, I should be able to sleep soundly even if his snoring continued.

I felt like relying too much on herbs wasn’t good, but there was no other way now.

We’d be fighting the orcs again tomorrow, so I couldn’t afford to be tired tomorrow.

“Hmm...gulp.”

I drank the herbs with some water and dove back into my sleeping bag.

The snoring continued as usual, but as the drowsiness increased, it bothered me less and less.

I surrendered to the drowsiness and quietly set off on a journey to the world of dreams...

—

The next morning, I left the tent, leaving Mr. Ekenhart, who was still sleeping, and met up with Liza, who had just come out of Claire’s tent. Leo also joined us as we headed to the river for morning preparations.

Due to being on watch duty, my sleep time was short, but thanks to the sleep herb, I woke up feeling refreshed and didn’t feel any tiredness from the day before.

By the way, Liza still seemed to enjoy watching me shave my beard, but I couldn’t help but feel a little doubtful that it was enjoyable for a little girl to watch an adult man shave his beard.

Well, if Liza was amused by it, then it was fine.

“Good morning, Mr. Takumi.”

“Good morning, Ms. Claire. And Ms. Anne.”

“Good morning...”

“After Tilura, it’s Sherry’s turn. Can you do it?”

“Kyau!”

“Go, Sherry!”

“Grau!”

“Kyau!”

It seemed like today, I was going to be the last one to fight, with Sherry following after Tilura. Well, based on what we decided yesterday, I’ll probably have to fight two orcs, so it’s no wonder I’m last. Sherry responded to Mr. Ekenhart with a bark, determined not to make the same mistakes as yesterday.

“Now good Leo, we’re counting on you.”

“Wuff...sniff sniff...”

“Mama, you can do it!”

I had already given Leo the medicinal herbs beforehand.

When asked by Mr. Ekenhart, Leo nodded and sniffed around the forest for any signs of the orcs.

Leo really did want to show Liza how capable she could be. And it was heartwarming to see Liza cheering on everyone so innocently.

I might also feel more motivated if I were cheered on during my fight with the orcs. However, I had to be careful to not get too caught up in it as well.

“Hmm, it seems like Tilura and Sherry have become accustomed to it, even though it’s only their second time. Perhaps it’s because they’ve been carefully observing the orcs and are able to remain calm...”

After Leo searched for the orcs, Phillip and the others would lure it in, and then Tilura and Sherry defeated it.

They had learned from their mistakes yesterday, and were able to finish it without ever being in danger.

Tilura used her height to her advantage, and targeted their legs. She also might have learned from Liza’s fighting style, as she stabbed the orc in the shoulder to prevent it from moving its arms. And once it was defenseless, she thrust her sword into its chest.

Even if she was getting used to it, it was quite a merciless way to fight for one so young.

This satisfied Mr. Ekenhart greatly.
