CH 16

“Yosh. Then, Jou-chan, let’s go and test out various stuff!”

With my hand still being grabbed firmly in a handshake, Frank-san suddenly lifted up my body.

*Dangling* *dangling*

I wonder what it was? I felt like everyone was dumbfounded back there.

Certainly, it was becoming a pattern that the muscle-guy would lift up a small child with one hand, but I wonder what was going on?

“Wait a second, Frank. Our conversation isn’t over yet. Besides, Yuuri is still recovering from using up all her magic power.”

Leon-san pulled me apart from Frank-san.

I’m back, Leon-san’s lap.

“We can just talk later, right? The Monster Flood is closing in. It’s important to quickly make sure what we can do and what we can’t do, right?”

“But it will be troublesome if you ask her to cooperate without knowing anything. Although she’s still a child, Yuuri is smart. Won’t it be better for you to ask her to cooperate after giving an explanation? What do you think, Yuuri?”

When I was asked about it, I thought his words were right.

I understand Frank-san’s feelings of wanting to try out many things, but I also want to hear a bit more to the story, then I’d like to try the things I can do about it.

“Uhm, what about Frank-san trying to request the forming of a party with me? Also, I don’t realy know about Monster Flood1, so I’d like you to explain me about it.”

“…It can’t be helped, then. Right, that. Let’s start with my trying to ask for a party formation. I should just say ‘form a party with me’, right?”

“Ah, please wait for a moment. Before that, we need to dissolve the party.”

I wonder if this works to dissolve the party?

“Let’s dissolve this party!”

After I stated that, the party windows disappeared.

Hoo. It seems like it worked.

“Then, Frank-san, please try.”

“Yosh, here I go. Jou-chan, form a party with me.”

“Please shake hands as well.”

“Ou. Is this okay?”

The handshake we did was such a strong one.

It was so, so strong that it huuuuurttts. Please go a little bit easier on meeee.

“Ah, the party’s formed.”

The party window appeared well. Success!

“Ooh.”

“Do you feel any changes?”

“No, not at all. What about you, ojou-chan?”

“Uhm, the party window opened after we formed a party, but how should I explain this…Let see, there’s an indication that the party’s been formed, floating in the sky, something like that?”

Uuuu…my vocabulary bank is so poor that it’s sad…

I can’t explain it well~.

“In other words, it’s something only jou-chan understands, huh? Which means, I and the other people won’t be able to tell whether the party formation was a success or not?”

“Right…Ah, but if Healing Wind is effective, it means that the party formation succeeds, so you’ll be able to tell as well? But using Healing Wind to just confirm that means a waste of 20 MP consumption, huh? Hmmm…”

When I was troubled over it, Leon-san patted my head.

“There is no need to be that troubled. It will be good to try lots of things from now on, but let’s think about them later after Frank learns about what he wants to try out the most, that is how to hurl a heal.”

“That’s…right. I understand!”

Yeah. That’s right. It’s unreasonable to think about all at once.

It will be good to do the things I can do bit by bit.

“Ah~, not just how to hurl a heal, I’d like to learn how to shorten the heal’s chant. Just how in the world do magic work?”

I’m sorry. I also can’t explain that well…

“Ah, Frank-san. Can you invite Leon-san and the others to try out together in a party?”

“Eh? I’m the one doing it?”

“Yes. Since Frank-san is the party leader.”

Frank-san knitted his eyebrows, making a reluctant face.

Eh? Why does he look so reluctant?

“Saying ‘form a party with me’, then shake hands, huh…? With Leader, Argo, and Amanda…? Give me a break, oi.”

Frank-san grumbled with a small voice.

“Even that feels unpleasant to us, too.”

“I will be fine shaking hands with Yuuri-chan, not Frank…”

Amanda-san said as she patted her own arms. Argo-san agreed with her words.

Eeeh…There’s no need to look that reluctant-.

“Well, that’s it. I don’t need it because I can just recover myself like how it is up until now, even without forming a party! It’s fine with just training to hurl the heal!”

“T-that’s right. We can just have the people who really need protection at all cost to form a party with Yuuri-chan and receive recovery.”

Eh…Amanda-san is that reluctant?

I don’t really get the adults…

Eh? I’m also 18 years old, just what am I saying?

Even though it’s something I thought on my own, I feel a little bit strange.

Huh???
