129. Contac (1/2)

Regina was sitting on a three-meter tall rock.

Her greatsword resting on her shoulder.

「Xenovia. Master. You’re late!」

「I think it’s Regina who is too fast.」

「You’re making me blush, Master!」

Regina hid her cheek with the other hand which was not holding the sword.

I checked the surroundings again.

There were three piles of ashes. Most likely the carcasses of the beastkins.

The rock Regina was sitting on was probably summoned by the magic of the beastkins.

It must have used something similar to Meteor Strike.

There were many large rocks lying around. Some of them were cut with a sword; the clean cut surfaces were visible.

After that, we moved with the post-processing of the corpses.

I healed Xenovia and Regina’s wounds with healing magic.

Both of them only sustained surface wounds, and no major wounds.

After finishing that, I called down Rubeum.

Soon Rubeum descended to the ground.

「Rubeum. You were very helpful, thank you.」

「Kyuru kyuru.」

When I patted his head, Rubeum cried out pleasantly.

「Even so, you did well in noticing the intelligence unit.」

「Kyuru. I noticed as I was circling over the sky and observed the ground.」

Rubeum seems to be good at discovering concealment magic, after all.

It seems that he noticed it as soon as I started fighting the demon.

However, because the fight was intense, he simply kept an eye on them because I couldn’t afford to deal with it at that time.

And after I defeated the demon, the people in hiding began to move.

Rubeum couldn’t let them escape, so he decided to attack and let us know where they were.

「It would have been too hard to come down and explain verbally. Kyuru」

「Certainly. That was a good move.」

When time is of the essence, it’s difficult to explain the location verbally.

Even more so, when they have begun to move.

They were moving from the position of 50 meters to the south-southwest to the southeast direction.

And he has to explain each of the five’s individual locations.

By the time he finished explaining, the enemy would’ve probably escaped.

When Xenovia heard Rubeum’s explanation, she patted him.

「It was a good decision, Rubeum.」

「Kyuru」

Rubeum happily shook his tail.

Regina also says while patting Rubeum’s body.

「You really helped me as well. Rubeum was really fast.」

「If it weren’t for Rubeum, we would have been much later in our arrival.」

When I said that, Regina also nodded in agreement.

「Dion hasn’t arrived yet, after all.」

I explained to Xenovia that Dion was riding on Dura.
