Ritrina is a strong and agile character Although she ht be hot tempered, she must be more useful than Serinn
Haroon fell in thoughts seeing the Quad wanker’s statusTo travel as a group, the leader needs to divide the role and ers When he knew by his brain, he didn’t have any experience so he orried about it
‘I guess ill find out e face weak monsters’
So Haroon closed theBut there was one thing he couldn’t understand In Philip’s case, his level was over 30 but his stats were lower than Haroon whose level is just 10 and didn’t even get a class advancement
As he analyzes the Quad wanker’s status, he found out that; they started with 50 total stats, with the level bonus that would be about 110, and gained additional stats by training with an average of 1 It is so different from his stats Compared to them, he is a monster
‘I suppose it is because of Bell’s performance and Herbal Medicines’ effect’
Haroon realized how helpful Bell and the herbs are
If Bell didn’t supply hiht hour, he wouldn’t haven’t been able to train that norantly In other words, he wouldn’t be able to improve that much without Bell’s help
Anyway, he felt good that he gained additional stats by equipping Mixed Leather Armor set and a steel sword
“Alright, let’s go!”
Like that, Haroon and the Quad wankers htly started their journey to Viscounty of Paros
The area around the Metropolis is a literally endless green field It see anirasses Probably because of the Monsters
He could see figures near the horizon, and he thought theyfood But near theiant, well-beaten road in the rass field
At first, he was reen field But the eed at all for a while The grasses were mostly tall, about to their knees He wasn’t sure what kinds of they are, but they were quite sharp and hard
As the sun gets high noon, it started gushi+ng out the hot breath and started poking thelasses were being cooked, Haroon could s he never had smelled before, but soon, it faded away
They went silent for a while Both Haroon, as enjoying the scenery and smells that he can never experience in the Union covered by the Barrier, and the Quad wankers, ere in s of excitement and worries of their journey When it was the time that the sun tries its best to heat the earth, they decided to stop under a tree with a large, dense leaves
“Boss, it is typical to rest in the middle of the day Grab a lunch, ets cooler, that’s when you know you have to depart It is one of the ways to make the body less tired”
They stopped to rest as Philip suggested Unlike the others, Philip had experiences of long journies
“Hey, you, prepared the food, quickly!”
“Well about that…… Alright, Boss”
Serinn and Ritrina didn’t really think they would be one preparing the food, so they looked at each other and shrugged But it was a prohters of leaders of powerful guilds They’ve been living in a luxury, so of course, they didn’t kno to cook
“What should we do?” Troubled, Serinn asked
“Isn’t it obvious? Boil the soup, and ht”
Ritrina said it easily She continued
“Then how about you build the fire, andthe care of the rest?”
Like that, Ritrina took the lead Serinn felt unco with it as she lost the lead She took her lips out and started collecting dried branches And then, she called Ritrina with perplexed voice
“But I’ve never built a fire”
“Huh? But I’ve never done it too”
Two girls looked at where Haroon wasto check the bags
“What’s the matter?”
“Well…… We don’t kno to build a fire”
Their helpless voice made Philip and Gitan move, but they soon stopped and covered their mouth with their hands Come to think of it, they have never done it too This was same to Philip
“Flints, you can always use your flints So, who got the flints?”
Philip barely remembered they could use flints
But they didn’t kno to use flints Of course, they’ve never seen it happen Ritrina only packed her clothes and a weapon, and the other two didn’t pack their bags so they didn’t knohere their flints were
“You’re so pathetic Are you really the sons and daughters of the o on the journey like that?” said Haroon, clicking his tongue
Haroon’s word cut their heart like a dagger, but they had nothing to say They’ve been learning swords since their young age, but they realized they didn’t have any practical skills for surviving
“Why are you still standing there? Move away!”
Haroon angrily shouted and it ry, they couldn’t think of words to counteract, so two girls hesitantly moved away
Of course, Haroon didn’t kno to use flints But he had an Essential Spirit na a fire was a child’s play The proble it That hy he was annoyed
Haroon turned his back at the Quad wankers and summoned Brat
“Brat, Come out”
“What Is It? Why did you have to bother ood rest?”
Brat was frowning
“Oh, you are getting sassy again I can take that as a giant yes to a question may I punch your face?”
“Alright, Alright! God, if you don’t have skills, be kind at least Gees, violence doesn’t solve everything mumble mumble…“
Co, Brat accepted his summon and as soon as he came out,
– You are Poisoned
[Receiving 10 dae per second]
“Quickly, make a fire”
“Oh God, and that was hty Brat for that pathetic job? You knohat this is? This is like cutting a beef for a breakfast with an ancient ic sword”
“Shut up!”
Critical Hit!
”Aw! Fire!”
Only after getting a hit at the back of its head, he stopped co to be a big fire
“It’s the Spirits!”
“So it is true!”
Serinn and Ritrina were surprised to see somein the air and no spirits
“damn it! NOW you know, huh, Serinn? Just remember that it was all you”
Ritrina let out her harbored feelings to Serinn
“Ha! Who could have known that he is an Elementalist? Didn’t you hear that he even swore an oath of Mana? After all, I said he MIGHT not be a ician and it was YOU who provoke the ician”
“Anyway! It was you who made us slaves”
“Huh, look who is saying”
“Shut up! All of you!” Haroon interrupted
Haroon frowned He couldn’t believe that he had to waste an antidote just to ave a start They never saw hiry
Under the pressure of Haroon, two girls prepared the lunch without saying a word They took out a pot and put the water and soup powder at the sa unstably, desperately looking for a help but the other three tried their best to avoid her eyes It was best to save the words and not to help than being scolded by Haroon
“The lunch is… ready”
Haroon, Philip, and Gitan stopped checking their bags and head to the fireplace As they got used to the regular ed with some dramas
“Here”
Serinn served the soup and bread, Haroon took it and went under the tree He ate a spoonful of the soup
“Yuck!”
“Gahh!”
“Ugh!”
As soon as he screa their faces They turned their faces at Serinn at the same time
“Well…… That was the first soup I’ve ever cooked”
Serinn tried to get over the situation acting cute, but they all spit the soup out
“You tried to kill us!”
“You ht?”
Philip and Gitan gave her a hostile stare
“I told you that I can’t cook I can’t do this so don’t let me do it”
Serinn was covering her face with both hands Her voice was al
“Boss, just don’t let her cook”
“Ithese”
They co next to them with her face covered and head bowed But Haroon noticed that her shoulder shook just for a briefthose complaints
‘So that was your plan? She is iht
As Haroon didn’t have any good impression of her, it was easier for him not to be fooled by her Serinn was s petty tricks
“Alright, I’lleveryedible I’ll definitely charge you for wasting foods, so deal with it Don’t worry, she will get good Everyone needs to start from somewhere”
Philip and Gitan went pale Ritrina too They weren’t sure if they could survive
“Well,Gitan brought eency foods There are breads and beef jerkies so we can eat those if what she makes are not edible But she will have to eat her foods
That relieved the pale, even she was covering her face with her hands
“Until she gets good Well, if she doesn’t get good until the end, we can always delay the cure and teach her until she gets good If you are bad at so, then try harder I can help you with that while I’m with you”
That made all four pale
‘You bitter snake!’
It’s what their faces were saying
“Well, then, have a nice meal”
Haroon tasted the soup once again and drank it ater And took so it with the soup It wasn’t that bad when he tried that Thinking how he has been eating bitter antidotes quite frequently, and how he endured Elser’s extremely tasty foods, it wasn’t that bad
Seeing Haroon well eating the soup, Philip and Gitan tasted the soup another tiue, and it became another reason to admire Haroon They couldn’t even bear to put that in their mouth
They, except Haroon, had to dump the soup They filled their stomach with bread and water Of course, Serinn had to starve
But they didn’t kno ie a, the sto how es to feel even heavier So when the sun was setting and reached the top of the hill, they were feeling starve to death
“Here, we have a flint so lit a light with it Since you are gonna be in charge of foods, you should be the onethe fire”
Haroon handed a flint and a lu Philip didn’t knoas there, though The one who packed his bag was a mercenary that he didn’t know the nas
“Philip, Ritrina, set up the tents And Gitan, Let’s go set up the traps, just in case to defend ourselves from the wild monsters”
Everyone sought for a rest so they et their tasks done But Serinn couldn’t begin and sta about to cry at how unkind the other h to help her Not even close, as they were angry because they didn’t get enough food earlier in the lunch time
Setting some traps around the camp site, Gitan and Haroon returned to the fireplace and saw an actual fire It seemed Serinn has found a way to make a fire
“Hahaha!”
Gitan checked her face and started laughing It was quite an entertainment to see her face messed with soots Philip and Ritrina, ere done with the tent, see
“Good work”
Haroon patted Serinn’s shoulder, as busy blowing the wind into the fire, hoping it to get bigger As she was bowing her head, nobody sao strea, but she felt so proud of herself
When the new soup was finally made, nobody dared to taste it Haroon, too, hesitated to taste it and his hands were shaking when he was bringing a spoonful of soup to his mouth Bravely, he tasted it
“Hood just in a day Alright pals, get your spoons and try it out It’s quite edible, unlike the last time”
Seeing how Haroon liked, the other three bravely taste the soup Their face went bright They actually could taste warm, delicious soup Of course, the poasn’t properly mixed to the water so they could feel the chunks of it but it was better than the last time
“This is so emotional”
Like Gitan said, it was an emotional moment, that how they had to worry about foods, on their first day after the graduation The soup in the lunch was absolutely terrible Gitan was so concerned about eating after he tasted that Compared to that, he could consider it happy
“I didn’t know you could experience the hell and heaven by foods,” said Philip
Gitan strongly nodded and ate the soup
Seeing how they were satisfied by her food, Serinn felt shy and s smile
As they travel like that, the Quad wankers could naturally call Haroon the ‘Boss’, and Haroon, Philip, and Gitan could get along as close friends
Footnotes:
¹ 3 titles
You ained another title and he previously had 3 titles, so it should be 4 titles, right? I thought the same, but as it seems the raw text says ‘and other 2’, I think he lost the title of ‘Mercenary Trainee’, as he is not a trainee anyuess
² Gusts of Wind
The raw text was ‘돌풍(突風)’ When the direct translation is ‘Squall’, I don’t think it fits the context 돌풍 means a sudden violent wind, it is my belief that the word ‘Squall’ is used when the storm has rain/snow
