Chapter 74 Plan

"Alright then. What do you want to do for the first step?" Noelle asked to test him.

Nathan raised a finger. "I need a familiar to scout."

"The hole? If we're going into the hole, it'll be better to bring everyone and get ready to fight. And we will also need some stuff like a torch."

"No. I just want to scout the area around here, maybe finding a trace that the villagers haven't seen yet. They are isolating themselves in their houses, so they might not venture that far." Nathan summoned Fenrir. "I'll be sending him."

"What?"

"Your nose is sharp, right? Just find a trace of an alien out there. Even if they can hide their trance, they can't hide their smell," explained Nathan.

"That should be possible. It seems that stupid dog is in the village."

"Yep. How far can you explore?"

"How far can he go?" Fenrir replied with another question.

Nathan knew where he was going. He must not want to lose against Anubis. "Well, whatever. Just go..."

Before Fenrir left, Noelle summoned her familiar. "Bring her with you. She should be able to find the trace as well. I'll remain here in case the aliens suddenly come out of this place."

The familiar that Noelle summoned was actually a dark elf.

"!!!" Nathan widened his eyes in surprise. The dark elf gave out a different vibe compared to Alisha. She was wearing a crop top and skirt, exposing as much skin as possible. There was a robe that covered her back and a hood to cover her head, but there was nothing much other than it to lighten herself as much as possible.

If Alisha gave a gentle and bright atmosphere, this dark elf exuded an enchanting aura.

'Damn. When I thought that getting into this world would be romantic for me. I'm actually stuck with...' thought Nathan while glancing at Fenrir.

She faced a dilemma.

Seeing that reaction allowed Nathan to make a decision. "In that case, let's do it this way."

...

Fifteen minutes later.

Anubis had regrouped with them as they toured outside the village, searching for the trace of aliens.

However, other than the two holes, they found nothing. Nathan chose to stay inside the village and actually do nothing.

Noelle watched him getting along with the villagers and listening to their story as if he were trying to gather more information from each villager.

But Nathan's real plan started at night.

While they were given a place to stay due to the kindness they had shown, it didn't change the fact that the village couldn't continue living this way for a long time. If they couldn't produce anything, they wouldn't have food to eat.

Hence, Nathan wanted to finish this mission as quickly as possible.

After most people slept, Noelle and Nathan returned to the wheat field.

"Please take care. I'm sure it's going to be dangerous. This is just to scout the enemy. As long as we know about their numbers and the location of their nest, please pull out immediately. But if you're unable to do anything within fifteen minutes, you have to come back since it means the underground tunnel is extremely long or complicated."

"Got it." Noelle nodded as she jumped into the hole with a torch.

As soon as Noelle left, Nathan's expression turned serious. He didn't have the power to fight against the mature class, but there was still one thing he could do.

Nathan had intentionally hidden one thing from Noelle. He returned to the village instead of waiting outside as he muttered, "I forget which novel it is, but there is something that I can do to lure them out."

He gathered a bunch of wheat and asked Fenrir and Anubis to carry them to the other hole. He tossed them inside before lighting them up on fire, allowing the smoke to spread inside the second tunnel.
