Chapter 424: Joint Request 3

「No… noway…」(Mile)

Not only Rena’s Trio was stunned but also Mile.

At the moment the orcs can be seen on sight, Wonder Three cast instant (skip-chant) magic with only the magic name.

The opponents aren’t humanoid who can know the attack pattern from the magic name, besides, it’s a surprise attack from a place far away, it wasn’t necessary to make it instant (skip-chant) which would lower the power.

Yes, if needed, magic can also be released completely uncasted (silent cast), the magic which was thrown out randomly.

… And the second magic that Monica shot, the interval from the first shot was too short. Way too short.

Well, if it was “Red Oath” attacking, the results would have been about the same.

Each of Rena and Pauline would shoot down one by one with their first magical attack, Maevis would damage the 3rd one with “Storm Blade”, rushed in and stab it with her sword or, Rena or Pauline would finish it with the second magic.

…Equivalent.

Pauline aside, Rena has been training with the “Red Lightning Bolt” for many years, worked as a solo hunter, and went through half a year at the training school, worked with Red Oath as a Rank C party for another year and a half.

Maevis has been training by a knight-based noble family, has the talent for sword skill, and worked harder than anyone.

However, they are pretty much the same as some lolis (young ladies) who only learned everything at school

(T.N: I think this is not even counted as the middle school on earth because they graduated at 13 years old)

No, Monika’s instant cast is definitely faster than Red Oath.

「Ku~u…」(Rena)

But now there is nothing to say.

Yes, this is the time to show in action and in results.

「Fu~fu~un, they did it quite flashy. Then it’s our turn (Watashi-tachi no ban ne)!」(Rena)

Saying so, Rena started out walking in front of “Wonder Three”, Maevis and Pauline also followed.

They tried to find the prey before the Marcella’s Trio and hunted it.

「…please wait!」(Mile)

However, they were immediately stopped by Mile.

「What’s that?!」(Rena)

Rena stopped and seemed to be a little moody…

「Do you plan to leave the hunted prey just like that!」(Mile)

「「「Ah…」」」(Red Oath)

「じゃ、これで……」

It’s true, as hunter they should dismantle the orcs, collect as many highest-price parts as possible to bring home. Even the hunting this time’s purpose is “comparing power”, they can’t just bring back all the Orc meat that they hunted.

By the way, regarding the hunted orcs, once the party deems they collect enough valuable parts, Mile will put the rest in storage.

That is the judge’s decision in the exercise.

Red Oath can’t make Marcella’s Trio leave the hunted Orcs behind (which is points of this competition) to go with them or rush them to dismantle the orcs halfway (which will be a tragedy of carrying a mess of bloody flesh)

So no one complained about Mile’s rule.

After a while, all of them continue to hunt again.

Red Oath skipped through the small animals, birds, plants that sell at a low price, and search for big ones.

And then…

「Target sighted! 4 Ogres」(Maevis)

「Alright, I got this cover」(Rena)

As usual, Maevis would be the first one to spot the prey when Mile didn’t use her searching/exploration magic.

Unlike the Orcs killed by Wonder Three, there are four stronger monsters, Ogres.

It was big enough prey to show the power of Red Oath.

「Pattern S-1 (EN)!」(Rena)

Rena issued the command.

Pattern S (EN) is the case that everyone can go all-out without worrying about the eyes of others.

Mile taught Wonder Three things that she didn’t teach them (Red Oath).

So they judged that there was no problem even if they used the “secret of Mile’s family” that Mile taught them.

No, maybe this was just to show off.
