CHAPTER 253: FRONTIER CITY 3 (1/2)

About the sunset of that day after entering the forest.

We have moved a lot today with two average breaks, and several small breaks.

Lunch is time-consuming that’s why we ate in the morning before departing.

Since we are pretty far to the border, there is rarely any monster here.

We advanced without doing anything so far.

From the calculation, we will meet the monster chased by the neighboring country tomorrow.

There are no monsters or animal dare to attack this group of soldiers and hunters with this number.

Monsters or beasts, they aren’t stupid enough to do that.

And it’s time for camping today.

Read work will start from tomorrow.

『 There’s no need to hurry.

We’d better deal with monsters tomorrow.

For now, we should set up our camp while it’s still bright』(Captain)

It was as the captain said.

Even though we are already pretty deep in the forest, however, we won’t meet any chased monsters any time soon.

And the time isn’t good.

From the time of fighting, the topography of the surrounding and the condition of everyone are really important. It will get dark soon, and it’s hard to move or fight in the dark.

『Everyone! Stop!

We will camp here tonight!』(1st NCO)

The 1st squad NCO shouted back and forth and everyone gathered.

Shouting out loud like this normally isn’t recommended because the animals and monsters will notice us.

But it’s okay with this number of people.

Be it monster or beast, they aren’t stupid enough to head over to a group of more than 50 people.

Besides, if we start preparing for meals, the smell will spread to the surrounding.

And until now, there was no way to conceal the smell when cooking.

Even though he said we will camp, there’s no way to bring a tent or the like to enter the deep part of the forest with a group of only battle personnel.

Everyone just cut the grass, cleared the ground, put a cloak or the mantle on that place and laid down.

They only carried the basic requirement of dried food and hoped it will be enough for 4-5 days expedition.

All the soldiers secured the places and started to mow the grass respectively.

Some place of the surroundings are pretty clear, but it’s still a poor sleeping place.

And when the hunters started preparing for their sleeping place.

The soldiers and the two Hunter parties stopped moving.

And the silence is spreading.

『『『『『『…………『『『』(55 people – Red Oath)

『This… what is this?』(Captain)

Because his men and the hunters became quiet, the captain came to look at the situation.

He was surprised by what he saw and asked Maevis.

『Eh? Can’t you see? It’s just an average tent』(Maevis)

(T.N: It might sound weird but I want to use the joke here)

Because Maevis didn’t know what the captain was surprised at, she opened the entrance part and show the inside to him.

And inside the tent, there are 4 beds, a simple table, 4 chairs, a small chest with everyone changing clothes.

The beds aren’t some luxury lady canopy beds but at least they are still average cot beds.

『But it wasn’t there a moment ago…』(Captain)

『Ah, yes.

It’s troublesome to disassemble and assemble every time, so, we always keep it this way…』(Maevis)

『『『『『Impossible~eeee (Son’nabakana)!』』』』』(55 people – Red Oath)

Loud voices rose all at once from the surroundings.

It’s the voice raised by the soldiers and hunters.

And naturally, it also contained the voice of the Captain.

『You have storage magic?

But doesn’t the capacity of the storage change correlation to the weight and volume of the stored item?』(Captain)

There are only a few storage magic users.

However, storage magic depends on aptitude, you can’t simply use it even if you grow up or train hard for it.

So, if a magician was blessed with an aptitude for storage magic, he could use it regardless of his age.

It’s strange for a storage magic user to do low-earning base jobs such as hunters when countless aristocrats and merchants are seeking for them.

But that is the individual’s freedom.

However…

『 If you didn’t waste your capacity by folding the tent, you can put more things in!』(Captain)

The surrounding soldiers were also disheartened in the cry of the captain.

If they know the girls have such large capacity storage magic, as long as the girls don’t waste that capacity, they can store a lot of necessary things…

Yes. Like blankets, meat and vegetables, etc.

Water as well.

Even though there are magicians accompanied.

But they must save the magical power to fight monsters.

They can’t afford to create so much water.

Other than the minimum amount for drinking and cooking.

As he thought so, the captain couldn’t help but be agony.

They understood that【Red Oath] wasn’t at fault.
