24 Chapter 23: One Year Later.txt (2/2)

She was modest, but second only to Delarosa in magical ability.

She would be a magical genius, Bellamus had predicted.

'Medeiroda! We're playing magic together today!

A......

Delarosa pulls Medero's hand forcefully away from her.

Medero's magic was getting better not only because he was naturally magical, but also because Delarosa was keeping him company.

'I'm sorry every time.'

Medero seems to enjoy playing with Delarosa. No need to apologize for that.

Yeah. Haven't the other guys arrived yet?

Yeah. I've been training a lot lately. I've been getting a lot of demons from kobolds and such, and they look tired.

Oh, my God. So we'll have to cancel today's training.

Lately, demons have been coming around the goblin village.

We're currently investigating why.

We've had to increase our training because the amount of monsters that come in can be rather ridiculous.

I guess there's no need to cancel the training. I think he's here.

The goblins have come to camp.

There they are. Then we'll stick to our schedule.

We do the training.

It usually consists of simulated battles and target practice.

When the training is over.

”Demon da! It's coming from the south gate!

This again, we all thought.

I'll head to the south gate.

The monster that came this time is a giant killer bee.

They don't speak our language, so we'll kill them as soon as possible.

There weren't many of them this time, so I was able to defeat them all by myself.

However, if there were too many of them, the current magical power of Vellum's is not enough to handle them.

The amount of magic it holds increases quickly when it's low, but as it increases to a certain extent, it increases at a slower rate.

The current magic power of Vellumus hasn't increased as dramatically as it did a year ago.

”Nah, Vellum. Why are there so many demons coming around lately?

I don't know. I'm looking into it now.

Bellamus was investigating the woods near the village.

But they can't find the source.

They hadn't traveled far enough to investigate, so something might be happening far away.

I didn't want to leave the village for too long, so I didn't want to go far, but if there's a monster attack like this, you might as well go.

I hope this isn't a harbinger of something bad to come. ...... Bellamus hoped so.
