The Fenity

(Part 1)

It was noon on the sixth day since leaving the Royal Capital when the group, lead by Fiana, arrived at the base of the mountain that had the abandoned mithril e head’s house along with a single ht and adventurer

With their numbers, it would have been difficult to rest inside the se, so everyone else prepared cae

A while later, Fiana and the other three returned and started to help set up tents after finishi+ng their discussions with the villagers By the tian to sink down

Several villagers caroup had finished setting up ca ation

Accepting it along with offering her gratitude, Fiana decided to cook the meat and share the alcohol with everyone

Although er, they were relaxed due to arriving at their destination

Being able to drink alcohol for the first time in a while, Frederica’s mood improved after she drank quite an amount of it

However, feeling as though so was about to happen Fiana tilted her head to the side

This was the intuition that belonged to the long lived elves, and although it was sensitive, it was not infallible

Taking it to be her in her iination, Fiana didn’t pay ither small amount of alcohol

“Hyaah!?”

Fiana, who’d been drinking the small amount so as to not intoxicate herself, let out a wild voice

Suddenly hearing their commander’s voice, everyone looked towards Fiana

“… Sensitive”

“P-p-please don’t touch them!”

Visibly a ears with her sers

Her ears, tinged red due to the alcohol’s influence, twitched as though atteers

The feht have been due to the alcohol’s influence, but rather than watching on with cheeky s and averted their gazes

“Mou… are elf ears that interesting to you, Satia-san?”

“… No, yours tremble, they look sensitive…”

“—D-do they…?”

Setting aside the alcohol’s influence, her white cheeks dyed red from embarrassment

Seeing Satia’s hands start ain, Fiana stood up to escape

“I-I’ to turn in early”

“… Me too, then”

In a sense, Satia was greedy

Even with her poor social standing, she learnedfro his slave

For her ht so that she wouldn’t drag him down Then—so that she could satisfy her Goshujin-sa of sensual pleasures

Seeing Satia stand up to follow her, Fiana’s cheeks cramped

When she frantically looked towards Frederica for help—

“That girl’s going to follow you until she’s satisfied!”

Frederica offhandedly shot her down She went back to her alcohol after that

As for the iven their pink-filledback and forth between Fiana and Satia

They’d been travelling for a week, so they were rather backed up There was no helping the matter, but even so, Fiana cursed about it in her mind

“W-well then… shall we both go to bed?”

“… Definitely”

Now that she was unable to escape the situation after she herself said it, Fiana left the area with Satia acco her

Seeing the aze after them as they left, Alfira scowled at theh she didn’t care at all

“Ahem”

“W-well… let’s drink our fill and get some sleep!”

“Y-yeah!”

After enjoying theh in the sky, the alcohol helped everyone fall into a deep sleep

On theof the next day, Fiana and the rest woke up even earlier than the village’s elders would and put their tents away, as well as the re to ascend the mountain

Now having little traveling it, theaway froh

Frederica and Satia were riding on a single horse, guiding everyone up the mountain

The horse was borrowed froed that it would be safer having the tho knew the way lead them

“How er will it take?”

“I think we’ll arrive there by noon”

The knight that alking together with the adventurers asked Frederica

Unlike the cohtly dressed adventurers, he was dressed in full plate ar on him

He’d trained for h he had unlimited stamina

When she responded to his question straightforwardly, he just continued in silence

As Frederica had said, they arrived the entrance to the abandoned cave at around the saht up in the sky

Everyone’s expressions tensed Noas the real deal Seeing the the previous night’s festivities, Frederica looked over them with cold eyes

“Now then, the adventurers will begin preparing camp The rest of us will look around”

Once they finished unloading their baggage near the abandonedorders As for whether or not the investigation would drag on, everyone believed that it would

This was due to Frederica’s testiave theic metal, excavation had continued well past the point that collapses could occur so long as it could still be found, causing the mine to be rather expansive

After the excavation continued for several more months, once it reached the point that not even traces of mithril could be found, the mine was abandoned

Having been excavated that far, Fiana judged that it would take thehly exailant towards monsters

The other knights and adventurers held the same view… rather, they expected that it would likely take even longer than that

Following Fiana’s orders, the adventurers prepared the cahts went to look around and scout the surrounding area Frederica went around with the knights, with Satia stayed with the adventurers

They wondered if they ht be able to decrease their nuo so simply

As soon as the caether to eat lunch Their meal was comprised of dried meat and some herbs and mushrooms they picked up on the mountain trail

“When you were investigating, was there anything that stood out?”

Sitting next to Satia, as chewing jerky while absent fire, Alfira asked her a question

“… There’s a lot of dust—and it’s dark It’s tiring”

Taking the driedback to nibbling it once again

Sensing that the girl’s attitude was as if she wasn’t interested in the abandoned ation at all, Afira’s mouth cramped a little

“I-is that so…”

Convincing herself that it was due to the girl only having bad aze from Satia

The sa happened with Frederica

Frederica was just lazily watching the fire

The surrounding adventurers called towards her a few tiue responses

“We’ll be heading into thenow… Frederica-san, Satia-san, will you two be alright?”

Wearing her light armor above her clothes that looked like pure white priest vest sword at her waist on the left side, Fiana asked them

The two responded with a nod

The knights and adventurers were all also preparing to begin the investigation A them was, of course, the only fe a woman, she was equipped with hefty ar

The other knights were also wearing full body armor like Alfira

“… If there aren’t any proble then”
