V3C81 (2/2)

But, it’s only possible to have such idiotic conversations with Marina.

“Ichino, I have one request.”

Marina looked down towards me as I was lying on the bed and said.

“What is it?”

“I’ll be in your care from now on too.”

” … Ah, best regards.”

I said as I placed my arm forward while still lying on the bed.

Marina strongly gripped that hand.

I announced to Haru and Carol that Marina would once again continue with us in our adventure and the 4 of us enjoyed dinner together.

The dishes cooked using the magic sword kitchen knife was extremely tasty and it blew away the fatigue from yesterday’s outdoor camping.

In that manner, the night in Dakyat grew late.

~Side storyPrelude to the destruction of Dakyat~

“「Slash」! 「Grand Cross」! 「Lion’s Roar」!”

Suzuki’s techniques hit the monster herd directly.

But, the number of monsters didn’t show any signs of decreasing.

“The situation will gradually get worse if this continues. 「Slash」 … tch, my MP … it’s going to be bad soon. Miles, please.”

After Kyanshi released the 「Slash」, she suddenly felt dizzy. She was about to run out of MP.

She requested for Miles to charge her MP.

“「Mana charge」!”

Miles doubled her own MP and sent it to Kyanshi.

It’s one of her trump cards that she was bestowed as a bonus for conquering a labyrinth.

However, Miles was also an Apprentice Practitioner but her MP was definitely not a lot and she only had 3 mana potions.

Her words that the situation was going to gradually worsen was right on target.

” … Curse of Thorns.”

By Schreyl’s voice, shrubs with thorns appeared at the foot of the entrance to the labyrinth.

The thorny shrub entangled the monster’s feet and prevented the monsters from exiting the labyrinth.

But, the monster herd climbed over the monsters that could no longer move with their feet tangled and escaped from the cave.

They were clearly moving towards the Southeast — aiming towards the direction of Ferruit.

“Kyanshi, ride on Pochi and inform the town of the danger.”

“But —”

“Please! We’ll also try to halt them here until the very last minute before escaping.”

” … I understand.”

Schreyl’s 「Curse of Thorns」 was somewhat effective to stop the monsters in their tracks and Miles was required to replenish her MP.

Kyanshi understood that she was the most unnecessary one there.

That was extremely mortifying but she knew that someone had to go warn the town.

She straddled the Wyvern called Pochi who was standing by behind them and flew into the night sky.

Author’s note:

Marina who’s titled in the volume unexpectedly announces that she’s an impossible to capture heroine. And I finished the somewhat dangerous development in 3 chapters of the Side Story.

Even so, I want to allow the protagonist to continue his heartwarming journey.

I apologize for the slight increase in characters but I’ll upload the Character Introduction and Status later today and plunge into Volume 4 tomorrow.
