Chapter 96 - Chapter 15: Sign #2
In-gong moved to the hall at the entrance to the small temple and brought the group together.
The three children of the demon King, Caitlin, Felicia and Silvan, as well as Seira, Delia, Daphne, Carack and In-gong combined to make up eight people.
“Shutra— I smell something different coming from Shutra.”
When everyone had gathered together, Caitlin suddenly sniffed the air. She closed her eyes to focus on the smell and her nose neared In-gong’s shoulder.
Felicia, who was standing to the right of In-gong, laughed at Caitlin.
”Caitlin, that nose... is it a dog’s nose?”
It was slightly rude, but Caitlin was a werewolf lycanthrope.
In fact, lycanthropes generally had a good sense of smell.
As Caitlin continued to smell him, Felicia also seemed to be interested and moved her face closer to In-gong’s shoulder.
“Hrmm? It smells good. It’s like a fruity smell. Is it a gandharva?”
The gandharva were a species excellent in dancing and singing, so they smelled sweet generally. Just as Caitlin was a mixed werewolf, In-gong was also a mixed gandharva. So, it was natural for him to show the characteristics of a gandharva.
In-gong made a strange expression and tried to maintain a steady posture as the two beautiful females continued to smell him.
Silvan looked at him with envy and poked Felicia’s back.
”Felicia, doesn’t Oppa smell good as well?”
”It is too much. Sprinkle less perfume.”
Felicia replied without looking back and Silvan crumbled. She then continued speaking without even moving her head,
”Caitlin seems to be correct? I feel like I smell something different than usual as well.”
Her voice was filled with confidence. Just then, a new voice was heard from behind In-gong.
”Didn’t I erase it?”
It was Green Wind. She took a solid form and rubbed against In-gong.
“Green Wind? Erase what?”
After hearing Felicia’s question, Caitlin stopped sniffing him as well and lifted her head.
On the other hand, Carack interrupted them just as In-gong felt the mood turn strange again.
”Wake up, Prince.”
Carack laughed as he raised the fallen Silvan with his big hands.
”I am Prince’s aide. I can’t afford to let Prince look like that.”
Carack glanced at In-gong who was situated between the two beauties and nodded.
In-gong shouted loudly and organized the situation,
”Well, let’s prepare to start heading towards Sun Lake now. As I said earlier, the first reason is to gather materials for Amita to use. The second reason, everybody should know it already?”
Green Wind stepped back upon In-gong’s order and Caitlin and Felicia also increased the distance.
Fortunately, Felicia followed In-gong’s change in topic.
“It is good. Weren’t there materials in the archive room of Thunderdoom Fortress? In the first place, I had already reported that I was going to make a survey map of Sun Lake.”
She couldn’t make a false report to the Demon King’s Palace, so it was good that they would be able to solve the problem.
”The ruins under the lake... I am really looking forward to it.”
Caitlin had a dreamy expression on her face.
Carack asked,
”But what about Karma? She will come back with assistance in a few days. Is it okay to leave the response to the raccoon?”
Two people had gone to call for support. They had already contacted Robin with no problem using the telecommunication machine on Silvan’s flying ship. However, Karma was already moving to Spider Forest with the rangers, so it was a problem.
He knew her feet were very fast, but she had actually come back in three days. It seemed like she had worked very hard.
They needed someone to stay behind and explain the situation to Karma and the lycanthrope rangers.
It would be fortunate if Amita could fulfill that role, but like Carack said, there were some doubts.
”It is a little too much.”
Felicia came to a conclusion and glanced at Silvan.
”Silvan, can you leave a few crew members behind? We need to tell our party the situation as well as protect Spider Forest.”
”Hmm, the hardest thing to prevent is a sudden raid after everything is over. I will leave a squad behind with Sepira.”
Silvan struck his chest with his fist and struck a pose after talking. Then Carack opened his mouth,
”Is Sepira the deputy captain? The woman with purple hair?”
”Yes, she is Oppa’s aide. By the way, you’ve only seen her once and yet you remembered her?”
Seira’s, Delia’s and Daphne’s eyes sharpened at Felicia’s question.
Carack answered with an unconcerned look,
”Personnel identification is essential. It is important to remember any new faces. Doesn’t it increase the risk if you don’t know all the faces? Spies can mix in. It is better to remember faces than names.”
It seemed like he had remembered the faces and features of Silvan’s crew members.
Silvan watched Carack with a bemused expression and asked Felicia,
”Felicia, is that really an orc?”
”I’ve always wondered that. I want to investigate it just once.”
They didn’t know if Felicia’s words were a joke or a genuine answer, so Delia said with a smile,
”Carack is very competent. He has the sense of an aide.”
“Really amazing.”
Seira expressed herself in a manner similar to Caitlin. Daphne didn’t stay still either.
”Dependable. He’s a really dependable guy.”
Silvan gazed at Carack in a manner similar to when he looked at In-gong. Carack just laughed and scratched his head.
“I have to take responsibility as an aide.”
Delia’s, Seira’s and Daphne’s expressions became warmer. In-gong just laughed and Felicia summed up the situation again.
”The story has finished, so shall we start straight away? Silvan, please.”
Silvan nodded immediately when Felicia asked him.
”Leave it to Oppa.”
He left the small temple and gathered his crew. Felicia laughed as she watched Silvan and the crew move as fast as lightning.
”Oppa is easy to handle.”
In-gong pretended to be deaf as he left the small temple with Carack. Silvan’s flying ship, the Black Flame Dragon, was preparing its anchor for departure.
Then after 20 minutes...
”Black Flame Dragon ho! Start!”
“Start!”
“Start!”
Silva drew his sword and shouted. All the crew members shouted along as well. The sails spread out widely while the magic power engine was activated and the flying ship started to move upwards.
”Good wind! Fly with the wind, Black Flame Dragon ho!”
“Fly!”
“Fly!”
The crew members blushed while Sepira and the squad on the ground felt like they were lucky.
”How shameful.”
