V4C93 (2/2)

There are levels that can only be raised through battle.

From this time on, Malina … no, Marina was now able to use the bow and my level also somehow increased.

We considered leveling up Carol’s Temptress job in the daytime but ― well, after taking various things into consideration, we decided to use Carol’s ability at night and level up the ability.

“Carol can also use Charm so I’ll definitely be useful.”

“Ah, I’m counting on you.”

When I patted Carol’s head, she exuded an extremely happy mood.

We failed the previous time but I’ve been thinking of various strategies this time so I wonder if we’ll be able to let her reach a high level all of the sudden.

※※※

There were very little people leaving the town.

Since the people trying to avoid the ravages of war had probably already fled yesterday.

The procedure to exit the town was over in an instant.

The gatekeeper man told us to travel via the east before aiming for north if we’re planning to flee but since we’re not fleeing, I thanked him and we began walking towards the southwest.

We walked for 4 hours towards the southwest direction.

We exited the grasslands and arrived at the rocky field.

I picked up the sand with my feet and tried dropping it.

It dropped slightly towards the northern direction.

It seemed like there was a south wind blowing.

The sun had sunk somewhat into the horizon.

“Amazing … so those are this country’s soldiers?”

I looked towards the north from the rocky field.

I saw a lot of people about 10 km ahead.

It only seemed like the size of a grain of sand from here but a squad of soldiers was gathering.

I couldn’t really tell the figures of the soldiers but I could clearly see war banner-like flags even from our position.

Haru’s vision is apparently better than mine and she could distinguish each and every one of them even from where we were.

Based on the information Carol procured, the scale of the army was about 400 soldiers and it seemed like they were on average about Swordsman Lv20.

If there was a general-class individual as well, he would apparently be about Knight Lv30.

I don’t know how strong that is though.

It seemed like they plan to clash with the monster herd there.

There would be no problems if the human side wins.

If the soldiers seem to have lost, I plan to attract the monsters to our position using Carol’s ability.

Of course, there are no issues in the aspect of safety.

We’ll only fight the enemies with long range attacks and we will shut ourselves in My World if it seems like we’re about to lose.

That’s why we’ll be able to fight with 100% safety.

Since without the permit, even monsters will not be able to enter My World.

This has already been experimented using Fuyun as the opponent.

No doubt about it since Fuyun tried to bite me in anger from being repelled from the rift in space.

“Then, let’s have dinner? Since we have tomatoes, I’ll grill meat and sandwich the tomatoes and meat in bread to make sandwiches.”

I said that and began preparing dinner.

The battle will start soon.

“Master, I’ll help too.”

“Ah, Haru! Those tomatoes have already been cut into slices! Please stop shredding them!”

I cried as I looked at the not so thinly shredded tomatoes. (TL: The author made a play on words here, the Japanese word for thinly shredding/julienning is literally translated as thousand cuts but he remarked that her cuts were the thickness of 10 cuts.)
