Vol 2 Chapter 24 (2/2)
”This is”
This idea?
”I aht, Alice-sama?”
Ilya cautiously killed the wounded wolf and came to check up on me
However, it wasn't the time for that
”Ha hahaha! Just you wait, Till!”
I had definitely grasped that sensation
——I think it's huhts I really do
””
”So, what is it the dragon lass is shouldering? A corpse?”
”No, ehm how should I put it”
By evening, the battle with the wolves on the inally harsh way had coht be to the limit of my endurance
On the way back fro carried by Ilya all the way to the tent
I carried Ilya's spear and Ilya carried us both
Co special, but her Endurance was excellent
Still, how pathetic of me
Till's half-closed eyes pierced my heart
There was nothing I could say
”No matter Quickly prepare dinner, Alice”
”Demon!!” I shouted from Ilya's back
Oh, hey, I could still speak
Alright, what should I make
To to stop by the nearby town once, so I can probably use up e've brought with us
Freshness is important
That being said, we've only brought non-perishable food like bread or jerky anyway
Well, I individually had packed soetables
For lunch, I'd had Aunty's sandwiches, but my pride didn't allow me to make the same as her
I have brought spices, too
”Right I've felt unsatisfied because all I've had is solid food”
Fortunately, we've brought lots of water
Our trip wasn't hurried or anything, so it should be alright to use it for so
”Alice-sama, what should I make?”
”Let's see I'er?”
She just needs to bind together some of our fireith a rope, so it probably won't take that long
For the cooking fire, we had a portable Fire Crystal, so there was no problem
The portable Fire Crystal, unlike those at home, are throay items usable once
If you traced the cavity in the stone looking like the character for fire, it would gradually heat up and ignite
I've heard in this world with a low absolute nui, they were used for military purposes, too
Well, ive off cheap, weak flames like this one
”The ca? Or did you want cook rice?”
In fact, the ca pan It was such an excellent portable cookware, but I was not going tofried
And just like Ilya's confused expression said, we had not packed any rice
”I'redients and flavorings off the carriage
I had Ilya build the hanger for the ca up with the Fire Crystal and firewood andpot
As expected there was nothing handy like a ready- the other day, too, and salt for flavoring With beans and cabbage, the ingredients were simplistic
I tried tasting it, but my tired body was penetrated by the saltiness
I beat the jerky a bit to soften it and used it for sandwiches along with the salad I had brought
We would use up all our vegetables in a day, but whatever
They wouldn't get any better
But it really helped that the foodstuffs were just what they looked like There was no need for
”Ohh, this is good!”
The soup accompanied by sandwiches was met with a favorable reception
That one line was the real pleasure of cooking
”Really and it makes the bread so easy to s, too”
With only solid foods right?
Besides, ere outdoors, soreat
”I am sorry, it really should have been me to prepare it but Alice-sama seemed to enjoy herself so much”
”Eh? D-did I?”
No, well, certainly cooking is great change your mood
”One has taken a liking to this, Alice! Well done!”
”No, uhm thank you”
Sos outside of training
Still, da up a sandwich
Not that I would ever say it; she'd kill me
”So, how far did thy Proficiency rise?”
”Until 51”
I worked quite hard
”Hoh Then it shouldn't take er”
Nono, I just finally came back
This is the place for 'It'll really take until freaking dawn', you know?
”If thou have exceeded 50, thou should already be able to target an area with it With thy mana, one strike should still suffice for the likes of the enemies there”
”Area!?”
I hurriedly checked Thunder
Thunder (Proficiency 51) No Cast Time, 10s Cooldown, Area possible
OhArea possible?
”In that case, it really ht”
”It doesn't hurt getting used to nocturnal coht?”
About elven eyes, huh
”I can As I thought, you too, right, Till?
”Yes And the dragon lass should be skilled at reading presences It's good to further train it via nocturnal combat”
Ilya strongly nodded
Ahh, that wolf's surprise attack still bothered her
Although for me, it had been a fortuitous mistake
Thanks to it, I had noticed a neat little trick
”Then do thy best One is going to sleep”
”You really sleep a lot”
Just like the child she looks like!?
As if drowsiness had shown itself the moment her stomach was filled with sandwiches and soup, Till rubbed her eyes
287, huh?
” come on, Till Please sleep properly in the tent”
I took Till's hand who had started dozing off right then and there
Her steps were uncertain, too
By her hand, I guided her to the tent
We entered and right after I pulled the blanket over her, she fell asleep
”She has the sleeping face of an angel, though”
Sheesh, I wanted to sleep, too, but as the disciple, I couldn't do that
For the moment, I decided to clean up after the ain
When I caun the clean-up
”Ilya, e're done cleaning up, I'ive me just a little bit of time for that”
”No, Alice-sauarded; we have no idea what danger ht lurk there I shall accompany you”
” eh?”
She'll come with me?
”Uhm your clothes?”
”Even without wearing a single shred, I shall not fall behind any enemy”
”I-is that so”
Well, she can stop a sith her bare arm
But, no, that's not where the problem lay
”Now, let us go”
”Ah, wai-”
While talking, Ilya quickly finished cleaning up and now pulled me by the arm
She took towels fro
You're so strong, Ilya!
I was no match at all
I had already resigned myself
And eht
