Chapter 113 - Traveling 2

Before bed, we had put together the list to take our guard.

The first person to be on guard would be Lutrus, after him would be on guard was Sylphe, then it was me, and finally Sheir.

I liked this list because I wouldn't be the first, not the reason, but I don't like being the first to be on guard.

After we decided that, Sylphe, Sheir, and I got in the carriage to sleep, and Lutrus stood outside to stand guard.

We agreed that if he detects something suspicious he would wake us up quickly.

Because if he did that, we would have more time to react to the attack of bandits or monsters.

I don't even know if there are bad guys on this route, but monsters exist everywhere.

So it's easier for us to be attacked by monsters than bad guys, that's a fact.

But of course, I hope we are not attacked.

The easier the job, the better for Sylphe and me.

It had been a while, so it was time for Sylphe to come on guard so Lutrus was waking her up.

As Lutrus was an idiot he ended up waking everyone in the carriage when he went to wake Sylphe.

And after everyone woke up nobody could sleep again, so everyone decided to stay up all night.

The only one who kept sleeping was the trader and the coachman who ran the horse.

"Congratulations Lutrus, you destroyed our night." It was Sheir who said while slapping Lutrus on the head.

These two were very close, I didn't know if they were a couple.

"Are you going to stay up Enld?" It was Sylphe who asked, she was sitting next to me on a rock outside the carriage.

We had the fire burning because it was so cold, so we all sat around the fire to get warm.

Well, if Sylphe wants to know if I'd like to stay up, I'd say no, but since everyone is going to do it, I'll stay up too.

I have no problem staying up one night, as I've done it before in my old world one too many times, and even in this new world, I've been up a few nights.

"Yes, no problem," I answered not to let Sylphe worry about me because she might be worried about my health because I being up all night.

Well, I was 13 years old yet, so in their view, I was still a child so I understand why she was worried.

The night was very quiet, we had no monster attacks or anything.

We were talking but of course we were on the alert because to suffer a surprise attack, for an adventurer this is humiliating.

After dawn, the trader got out of the carriage and found us sitting around the fire that was still lit.

He thought we were up early, but when he found out we didn't sleep at night he was quite surprised.

He also got a little angry because he said don't sleep would make us not fight well.

Well, I can't deny your argument, because a sleepy person doesn't fight very well.

'But I was not sleepy.' This is a fact, I was not sleepy, I think I can go 3 days without sleep without having any problem.

Soon afterward we continued our journey and did not expect to encounter monsters or bandits, but of course, it would not be so easy.

'Let's try to look for signs of life with search magic?' It would be a good way to see if anything is approaching or chasing us.

If someone is stalking us I will notice much sooner then they will not be able to catch us by surprise and it would be easier to deal with.

"Search," I said a little quietly to not anyone to hear.

I don't know if there's anyone who uses magic to detect living things like that, so I think it's good to hide for now.

When the search magic was activated and started to go, I had a surprise.

I felt the sign of several living things walking together.

They were coming at a normal speed, it looked like they were chasing us.

There were about 20 living things, so it can only be one thing.

"Bandits," I said accidentally out loud.

By the time I said that everyone was surprised and immediately on guard.
