Ch. 195 The Next Day

Feeling a strong light, my groggy mind clears. I raise my head. The sunrise can be seen over the desert’s horizon.

Finally, tomorrow is the date that Nina is scheduled to be executed. Before the day is over, I must get past the lower levels in order to defeat that hero.

For that sake, I have no choice but to attack the red ants’ nest. That C rank monster den, I will completely destroy it.

I feel bad for the red ants, but not killing them would be impossible. I don’t have the option of abandoning Nina.

“…Are you awake?”

Adofu stops swinging his sword and turns his head this way. He was awake the entire time. I’m not sure of when to attack the monsters, but it seems possible to take revenge on the red ants when they are asleep.

Even if they aren’t completely asleep, they can still become stiff from fatigue. This was a tendency from the time I spent as an Evil Plague Dragon.

Even now, has he not stopped swinging that large sword? …As expected, he must have some regrets.

Even with my [[High Rest]], I can’t heal Adofu’s arm. Because it’s my skill, I somehow understand it instinctively. The [[Rest]] skill

line most likely strengthens one’s vitality and accelerates the healing process.

[[Autoregeneration]] could regenerate the damaged body part but… it can heal only me. If I keep raising my level, could I learn a skill to fix Adofu’s arm?.

With a wry smile, Adofu puts his large sword back in its sheath.

…He just made an awkward expression, didn’t he? It’s too much to worry about.

“Guooouuuu…”

In the middle of this awkwardness, my neighbor yawns. T-this person, at such a wierd timing…!

I gently headb.u.t.t my partner.

“Guau?”

My partner, now awake, lightly shakes her head and barks “Guaau!” Her head suddenly s.h.i.+nes with light. She seems to be using [[High Rest]].

Being wasteful again… Well, I guess it’s fine. At least I will have recovered by the time I next need it.

Because of that fellow, I was not able to eat a thing last night. She was agile when she took the food and swallowed it whole. Well, in the end it goes into the same stomach, so there shouldn’t be a problem. Though there is a longing to put something in my mouth which would help in relieving my temper. In any case, I won’t have to worry about having another mouth to feed since our meals will be

be the same.

I’ll leave the support up to her. I’m trusting you. I’m really trusting you to do it. Yesterday’s poison dumplings barely had any effect. This time, Adofu will also not be there too. Although the total number of ants should have greatly decreased, having two heads is a minus to my fighting ability, but it is still sufficient enough to say that it’ll be easy to kill several at once.

The time limit is close. I need to start leveling soon. Ball Rabbit’s MP should have already recovered. Once it comes out, we’ll quickly head towards the red ants’ nest.

“Guau- Guaaau!”

My partner sticks her nose into the ground and starts digging. It’s similar to what I’ve seen dogs do in my previous life…

Moving as if digging up prey, my partner raises her head. Ball Rabbit scratches her teeth with its ears. While being lifted up, Ball Rabbit shakes itself right and left. Its eyes look at me in annoyance.
