v2c1 (2/2)
Once again at the gate.
“Oh, you had equipment bought for you ojou-chan. You are already a splendid adventurer.”
The gate guard said this as he looked at Sati’s Guild Card. Ah, wasn’t the fact that she is a slave written on the card? So while looking at me, he said,
“As one would expect, someone like the Dragon Slayer is earning quite a bit. Perhaps I should become an adventurer too.”
“Forget it, forget it. As an adventurer, no matter how many lives you have it won’t be enough.”
“I guess that’s also true.”
As I thought, this is what the general opinion is. Before they pour some more cold water on me I take Sati and exit the gate.
After we exit the gate, we leave the main road and go until we don’t see the city wall anymore. It should be alright around here.
First, I will try 【Fire Storm】. Starting the chant. It should only take half as much time because of the High-Speed Chanting, but it’s still long. It looks like it can’t really be used in live combat situations. I finally complete the chant and invoke it.
I finally complete the chant and invoke it.
Go! With that sound, a number of fire pillars rise and start rampaging across the gra.s.s-covered plains.
I was in a daze from the sudden appearance of the fire pillars and their unexpected power. When the fire died down, an about 25m pool sized area of the gra.s.s-covered plains became a burnt field. Thankfully, it looks like the fire didn’t spread to the surroundings. This is too excessive. If I shoot this in a forest it would become a forest fire.
“Amazing! That was amazing, Masaru-sama!”
Sati is innocently delighted. I guess so. I also thought it was awesome. Where would this spell be used, I wonder? If this was used on a group of orcs they would all be turned to ashes.
After I gather my thoughts, I start the chant for 【Large Explosion】 this time. This one also takes a long time. I finish chanting and invoke it. I tried aiming it as far as I could as shot it.
Bam! With that sound, a shock wave, also sand and small stones that were blown away by the explosion, started flying this way.
When I worriedly looked towards Sati she was rubbing her eyes. Her ears were flattened and her tail was standing on its end. The sound was also very loud.
“Sati, are you alright?”
“Yes, just some sand got in my eyes.”
When we went to take a look at the explosion epicenter there was a hole open that could easily fit Sati in it. As we are peeking at the hole, Sati is happily saying ‘amazing, amazing’. As expected, this firepower is overkill. I can’t really think of any use-case other than when fighting with a dragon. If this is how it is with Level 4, I wonder how amazing 5 is. If I think about ease of use, then it’s not enough to simply raise its level.
Now then, next one. I take out the bow. There was a large boulder so I use it as a target. I nock an arrow and take a stance. I put mana in the arrow then invoke Fire Magic.
Hot-.
The arrow I shot while panicking flimsily flew in a different direction than where the boulder was and hit the ground.
I burned my fingers. The bow is also a little burnt. The wooden part of the arrow was burned and it broke.
It should’ve become a magical Fire Arrow. I should be able to make it if the arrow is made of metal and I reinforce the bow so it can’t burn, but even then my fingers would burn. If I wear a gauntlet, then it would become harder to handle the bow and it would also hinder spell invocations. Nn, this spell is a failure.
I had one more thing I wanted to try. I try storing the boulder I used as a target. It won’t go in. I have to raise it up from the ground once.
I use Levitation on the big boulder.
Since it’s so big it’s barely going up. When I poured in more mana it finally lifted up from the ground with a crumbling sound. Now it properly went into the Item Box.
I was thinking after the dragon fight that when we got hit by the Breath at the end wouldn’t it have been fine to take out a bear or troll from the Item Box and use it as a s.h.i.+eld?
I take it out of the Item Box. I store it. I take it out from Item Box once again, then store it.
Sati looks like she doesn’t understand what I’m doing. She is watching with a blank expression.
I open the menu, then select the item from the item list, then I take it out. This takes a bit of a time. It looks like it’s impossible to do it in an emergency. With this I probably couldn’t have made it time for the Breath. However, this looks useful as a s.h.i.+eld. If I put this in the way of an enemy projectile it could most likely block it nicely. Let’s name it the Big Boulder Guard.
Next, I rise to a height of about 5m with Levitation. I choose the big boulder from the menu and take it out. The big boulder goes cras.h.i.+ng down in accordance with the gravity.
Dosun.
What if an enemy was there? Isn’t this an amazing technique that compensates for the fact that you can’t use other spells while levitating? Furthermore, this was just one, but what if I take out 99 big boulders? Mm. Maybe I’ll name this Meteor(Physical).
‘I managed to get an amazing technique!’, as we returned to city with me being happy about this, I got scolded by the gatekeeper soldiers.
“The sounds of explosions reached all the way here. Do it further away.”
I’m sorry.
“Well then, should we start preparing dinner? Can you boil some water?”
“Yes!”
Sati enthusiastically started the preparations, but she looked tired as expected. Her eyes got healed today and I took her all over the place as well.
After putting the water over the fire, we start preparing the ingredients. After I show a bit how to use the kitchen knife I let Sati do it. Wild rabbit meat and vegetables that only need to be diced. Peeling is too difficult for now. Since there wasn’t any peeler either.
Sati is cutting them with an uncertain hand.
We put the ingredients in the pot, then we season it with salt. We add more salt bit by bit as we both check its taste continuously. After this, it only needs to boil and it’s done. As for the other thing, we fry the wild rabbit meat in a fry pan. We make salad by cutting vegetables, then we put out some bread.
Bread, salad, soup, and wild rabbit steak. It was simple, but it’s the completion of a proper dinner menu. Although I would really want some dressing or mayonnaise for the salad…. Let’s experiment with creating mayonnaise next time.
Sati was unexpectedly skillful at cooking. She immediately memorizes everything I say too, perhaps she is clever. At this rate, I can leave the cooking to her in no-time.
“You’ve done well. You’re amazing Sati.”
“Y-,Yes!”
I pat her head and praise her.
“I’ve made this, right……?”
With the finished meal in front of her, Sati is filled with emotions.
“Nn, nn. Then let’s eat. Before you eat put your hand together like this. Right. Then say ‘itadakimasu‘.”
“Itadakimasu!”
After we finished eating, Sati completely reached the very sleepy state. Since she said she would do it, I let her do the clean up after dinner, but she was very unsteady on her feet. I wanted to also take a bath today, but this should be enough for today. When we got home I already used Cleanup too.
I took Sati to the room on the second floor, where I suddenly realized. There is only one futon. I made Sati take only her boots off, then as soon as I’ve tucked her in she fell asleep. The bed is quite big. Should I sleep beside her? After I mulled over it for a bit I took out my sleeping bag and slept on the floor.
I confirmed it before sleeping that Cooking Lv. 1 was added. To me. I wonder when will Sati gain the cooking skill.
Looking at Sati’s status, her Agility and Skillfulness went up. Maybe it’s the effect of her eyes getting healed? It’s hard to imagine it would just suddenly go up, so maybe they went back to their original values? Also, her Loyalty, which was 50 when I first saw it, went up to 85. Isn’t that too much of an increase in one day…..?
