Episode 43.7 (1/2)
The following morning as Lecan and Julius were about to depart, Toru handed them a letter of recommendation. It's got the seal of approval from the Guide of Palcimo Magic Research Institute, Jiza Morfes, the letter will make it easier for Lecan to find companions the next time he's delving in Dungeon Palcimo.
Lecan accepted the letter, said his thanks and left Palcimo with Julius.
They arrived at Mashajain on th 14th of month nine.
Eda is still in the capital. Norma and Jinga have gone back to Vouka.
Manfrey was busy that day, thus Lecan waited all day.
They had dinner together on the 15th where Lecan reported what they did at Palcimo.
”We got to experience a worthwhile trial thanks to your arrangement. You have my gratitude.”
”I'm delighted to hear that. I take it this won't be the last time you are heading for Palcimo.”
”Yeah. But first I've got to get Julius used to fighting animal-type magic beasts first while we're out collecting herbs. There were also some interesting dungeons along the way from here to Palcimo, might take a look at them.”
”I could write you letters of introduction if you wish. They will surely prove advantageous for you.”
”Thanks. But no thanks.”
”I see.”
”Will you contact Eda.”
”Of course.”
”Then tell her I've gone ahead to Vouka with Julius. She should come back to Mashajain once she's done there.”
”Very well. It shall be done. Would that take place within this year?”
”Probably, yeah.”
”Master.”
”Hm? What's the matter.”
”I would like to go back home by spring next year once.”
”Hou. You're free to go home anytime but are you coming back?”
”Yes. I will definitely return. But, I won't know after that until after I ask father first.”
They left Mashajain on the 16th and arrived at Vouka on the 25th.
Lecan notified Norma before going back to his home. Norma asked him to stay at Goncourt, but Lecan didn't find it comfortable so he went home. His house was well maintained courtesy of Chaney Company.
He took it easy the following day and went shopping the day after that.
Then on the 28th, Lecan and Julius went out of town to collect herbs.
Lecan gathered a mountain heap of Tago Grass.
They also went around looking for ape and wolf-type magic beasts as they went, letting Julius to take on those beasts.
Julius had been taught fighting styles and concepts that are highly specialized on dealing with humans, he seemed bewildered even when he was up against very weak magic beasts.
Lecan showed him the basics of magic beast combat once, then he lured swarms of magic beasts for Julius to fight off.
Julius braved through Lecan's teachings. The boost in his basic strength must have also helped a lot. Of course, this kind of reckless training would not have been possible if not for Lecan's <Recovery>.
One time, Lecan made him fight off 30 Spider Monkeys at once.
Julius appeared to have grasped something in that fight despite getting all worn out in the process.
From then on, his progress was simply remarkable.
It was 10th of month 10 by the time they got back at Vouka.
”Julius.”
