Because Sherry intends to stay at home, I pass equipment to Roxanne and Miria: Chainmail, Leather Helmet, Leather Gloves, Iron Shield and Wooden shield. Although there is only one Iron Shield and one Wooden Shield, they are occupying two separate slots in my Item Box. Was buying Iron Shield not a good decision after all?
Should I discard the Wooden Shield and buy one more Iron Shield for Miria to use as well? Because I have used gold coins to purchase Miria, one slot in the Item Box has been freed up, so that might not be such a bad idea.
Miria, for the time being you can just observe and learn how we do things. You do not have to take part in the battles if you do not want to.
After telling that to Miria, I take them to Harubas Labyrinth.
I can smell Minos from over there. The smell is dense, however, which means there is more than one. About three, to be specific, so you should be careful master.
All right, got it. Let us head over there.
Under Roxannes guidance, we proceed to go through the eleventh floor of Harubas
Labyrinth. Because it takes time to find monsters, it is inefficient to look for lone monsters, so we are targeting groups of them instead. Since Sherry is not here this time and Miria is only observing, a group of four monsters is out of the question, however.
NT Ants are not an option either because Sherry has Antidote Pills with her.
It might seem selfish of me to make so many demands, but this is all for the purpose of maintaining our safety at all times. That is why in our current circumstances, a group made out of Minos or Escape Goats in groups of up to two would be perfect.
It is a vague and selfish request, but I cannot help it. I am really grateful to Roxanne for putting up with me despite all of that though.
Next, we hunt a group of three Minos.
I start off with a Rush attack on the first Mino. After I dodge second Minos body slam, I take first one out with another attack. Roxanne is holding down the third Mino, dodging its attacks by a hairs breadth, attacking it all the while whenever an opening for a counterattack presents itself to her.

After we take all three monsters out, Miria says something to Roxanne. From her expression, she looks excited.
She is most probably impressed by Roxannes godly dodging abilities, and honestly, I do not blame her for it. Watching her as she literally dances between the attacks of everything that wants to inflict harm upon her but cannot do so is always a sight to behold, so I can understand that she feels like that from the respectful expression she has on her face toward Roxanne.
Well, I dodged a Minos attack as well, but she did not praise me for it. Well, if you get to see Roxanne dodges, however, you cannot help but to feel in awe, so I kinda get it. That said, you need to be apt at fighting to be able to appreciate Roxannes prowess. And so I look forward to see what Miria is going to have to offer on the battlefield.
It is I, however, who takes the monsters out. But it is also true that I have no power of my own. Everything that I have achieved is thanks to Durandal. However, I am not going to admit defeat that easily!
Can I ask of you to find one more group of monsters?

When we arrive at home, Roxanne and Miria start talking about something. Roxanne moves her body in an exaggerated manner as she explains something to her. She waves her body several times in different directions while explaining, so she is probably teaching her how to dodge properly, but I do not think Roxannes lecture will help her in any way at all.
Roxanne moves in an exaggerated manner as she explains something. She waves her body several times as well. Shes probably teaching Miria how to dodge, but I dont think Roxannes lecture will help her to improve in any way however. As a fellow ordinary person, I empathize with Miria in that regard.
Eh? But wait, whats this now? This is strange. Miria is listening to her explanation eagerly, and she even imitates Roxanne and waves her body around exactly like she does. Roxannes lecture seems to be effective on her?
Miria is suited to be a warrior.
Roxanne seems satisfied with Mirias effort.
S-She is?
Is Miria perhaps not a fellow ordinary person but more of a Roxannes fellow?
All Beastkin tribes seem to be like that.
But they cant express themselves fully because they dont speak Brahim. I divert my eyes from them and look at Sherry. She has same look on her face as me, which is to say, shes clearly puzzled.
She is a fellow ordinary person like me after all.
For the time being, I entrust the two of them to Sherry and head back to the bathroom to heat the water again.
Now that the bath has been properly heated, its time for lemon to do its job. I toss them in there and leave them to float in the bath, grab two more and move to the kitchen. While there, I take a peek at the soup that Roxanne is making.
Yes? What is it, master?
It doesnt seem to be seasoned yet. Would you mind if I had a little?
Of course. Please, go right ahead.
Roxannes soup is in the stage of boiling meat and vegetables together. At this point, it looks similar to bouillon.
I want you to tell Miria to squeeze these lemons. Is it alright?
Certainly.
Roxanne then translates my request to Miria.
