If it was not for the two of them, then I would not be able to deal with that poison at all on my own, probably because it was my first time dealing with something like that and I was taken by surprise. That is why the thought that I might have been poisoned never even crossed my head and I ended up not taking the antidote, thinking that what was happening to me was just an aftereffect of a regular attack from the NT Ant. If I was alone in here and the same thing happened to me, then I definitely would have been done for, that is how dangerous of a status ailment Poison is. Well, I guess this is just one more reminder for me that the Labyrinths are truly dangerous placed that have to be taken seriously at all times unless you want to end up dead like I would have been if it was not for Roxannes ability to stall the last two enemies and Sherrys timely intervention.
Thank you, master, but there is no need for you to thank us. After all, we only did what was natural for loyal slaves to do: save our master al all costs!
Y-Yes, exactly what Miss Roxanne says!
Roxanne puffs up her chest with pride, while Sherry turned her face away from me in embarrassment. Honestly, I cannot blame her for doing that, not at all. I mean, she basically had to administer the Anti Poison Medicine to with a mouth-to-mouth method, which is a wholly different source of embarrassment than the one coming from your regular kissing.
But, I wanted to do it as well, and Sherry got to do this twice now.
Roxanne muttered in a quiet, barely audible voice. At first I did not know what she was talking about, but then it clicked with me. She was talking about that one time when Sherry was all out of MP after she fused a Copper Sword of Obstruction for me as the very first item in her Master Smith career and I had no other choice but to feed her the MP Recovery Medicine via mouth-to-mouth method because otherwise she might have ended up hurting herself in her depressed state caused by the MP deficit. So if we count that as the first time, then I guess that this really is our second time doing something like this.
Do you want to drink some water while we take a little break? I think we all deserve it, so get your cups out.
Of course!
I take a small tub out from my backpack, and fill it with water with myWater WallSpell.
Roxanne?
Since Quratar was more to the west than Zabir was, the sun has just barely began t emerge from beyond the horizon here, meaning that it was definitely earlier than in Zabir. Judging by the exact position that the sun was in, I would say that it must have been around six oclock in the morning here, and since the Adventurer back at Zabirs Adventurers Guild told me that there was four more hours until noon, it has to mean that in Zabir it was around eight oclock, which would make the exact time difference between Quratar and Zabir the one of approximately two hours.
Considering that there is a time difference even between Quratar and the Imperial City, it looks the distance between them is not that big as I have initially thought, and also that it might be a little more to the north or the south instead of the east.
In any case, the difference of two hours means they are most probably about 30 degrees in longitude apart, which is roughly one-twelfth of the total circumference of the planet, assuming that the planet that this world is located in has exactly the same characteristics that earth had. As for the cost of MP that had to be expended so that I could move from Zabir to Quratar, it was so much that the amount of my total MP has decreased considerably.
If so much of it has been expended for the trip to a town that was on the border of the Empire, then I have to wonder if it is going to be possible for me to travel directly between Quratar and Palmasque at this rate, because honestly, I highly doubt it.
But in that case, what is going to happen if it runs out in the middle teleportation? Will it go into the negative value, resulting in an even stronger mental backlash than in the case of it simply getting to zero? But if it is going to be like that, do I want to take a risk and do so anyway, hoping that nothing too bad is going to happen to me? No, definitely not.
Something like that would have been too much of a gamble even for me to risk. If my current amount of MP is not going to be enough, then it is not going to be enough, and that is that. There is no need for me to needlessly inflict unnecessary damage upon myself if I can just try searching for some other way if it is going to be at all possible.
Oh, you are back already, master? Have you taken care of everything that you wanted to do? Or perhaps you forgot something and came back to pick it up?
Roxanne talked to me when I went back to the house while feeling more then a little depressed and dejected.
No, I did not forget anything, and no, unfortunately I was not able to do anything that I wanted to do just yet, because as it turns out I have to wait for another four hours to do it, so I just came back here to confirm exactly what time it is and wait.
Four hours? Then I will definitely let you know when that time passes, so you can leave that up to me, master!
