Chapter 33 (2/2)

「Hey Ted, shouldn’t it be lunch soon? 」

「Nn? Aah, it’s already that tins of a Grinder spottedIt ht’ve encountered it but, at the very least, there weren’t any news like that that came to their sideIf there isn’t any news, assureed on beforehandSo, it’s not like they can leave the site on their own

Although it was like that, the subjugation this tiht be that a tea in a battle with the Grinder now but, if there’s no inforo for help

They had agreed to send a snal when they spot it just in case for that but, in truth, if they were thrown into a battle suddenly, there probably wouldn’t be a chance for them to do that

For teams that only have normal soldiers, then it’s possible for them to be totally wiped out in a moment as well

Of course, albeit like that, it’s not like Ardis and the others have the authority to say anything about thatWhat they can do, is to fulfill their role withouta complaint

「Then, let’s rest over at that shade」

Ted pointed to a nearby treeAlthough it’s a grassland, there’re still sohway is the nature’s resting spot, it’s a precious space formerchants

「Say, ArdisSorry for the bother but can you put out some water? My bottle is completely empty」

「Then I shall」

Quicker than Ardis ansater spawned from Nere’s hand

「Mumumu……」

As if frustrated, Orphellia stared at NereFrom her perspective, there’s now a second person other than Ardis who can use chantless icShe probably can’t stay calm because of that

「Hey, OrphelliaYou too, quickly eat」

Of course Ted couldn’t understand so like the frustration born froicianBeside Orphellia as hugging her head with creases on her forehead, Ted and Norris bit into the roast meat sandwiched with bread leisurely

「My Master, the food is heated up」

「NoI will just eat it norht? 」

「Albeit it’s in the wild, it’s sha cold food to her masterIsn’t it awithout saying anything? 」

「Even though no one asked……」

During the break, Nere took care of Ardis ic above ArdisShe would hand out bread that’s heated up, and occasionally offer hi her master

Advertise away his bread muttered in a soft voice

「Well, certainly she looks like a servant doing that……」

「But, it’s the first time there’s such a servant with that kind of tone, at least forthe cold bread

「Huh? This water, it’s nice? 」

Norris said so while peeking into the bottleIn any case, he didn’t want to be the one co treated like a royaltyHe thought, if he wanted to bother, why not direct that excess energy and leeway to so reversely, it just means that they do have such a leeway in this occasionIn truth, if they wouldn’t encounter the Grinder, then this search ht as well be considered a peaceful picnic to Ardis and the others

As they finished their round and tried to 「A Blissful Nap after Meal」, but since Ted and the others were there, he wasn’t allowed that, and the search continues

Albeit so, what they do after that isn’tWhile dealing with the Coyotes and Green Knives that they encounter occasionally, they leisurely walked around the grasslands

Soon, Ardis and the other started seeing the highway on the front

「Let’s head towards the highway and head south a little, then let’s return to the east I guess? 」

「Unn, let’s group up with the main unit and the commander after we head east, then the search should be over for today」

Orphellia responded to Norris

「There’re quite sohway」

As they approached the rendezvous point, Ardis realized there were more people that he expected

「Since there’s the rumor with the Grinder recentlyCould it be that they are just peddlers and caravans who banded up together to move? Since the army is scattered here too, the bandits and thieves can’t make theirwhile looking at theleisurely

「Good grace, finallyWell it wasn’t any big earning but, a relaxed job like this occasionally is nice too huh」

「That’s trueThe weather is nice too, and it was fun after all」

Ardis agreed to that tooBut unfortunately, he has his reasons to not le with the army unnecessarily

「ForWell a day like this is nice too but, if ill be stuck in this job for who kno many more days, then excuse me from thatAnd I’h」

Orphellia coiven up

「Well well, don’t say so like that ArdisHey, take a lookThe warm sunshi+ne, and the cos didn’t appear, looking at the clouds drifting in the blue sky, and the shadow of a bird flying by――An? 」

While circling his arm around Ardis’s shoulder, Ted who talked on his own suddenly furrowed his browsHis gaze was at, a single shadoith the shape of a bird flying high above the sky

「It’s not a 『Killer Bird』 huh……」

「Not an 『Observer』 either right? 」

Behind the both of them who narrowed their eyes, Nere pointed out calmly

「Couldn’t it be the Grinder? 」
