(094) Ichino’s speech

Translator: Tseirp

The sun had already set and we were wrapped in darkness.

We were acting under the veil of secrecy so we didn’t use lighting such as bonfires.

The light from a fire can be seen from afar. Those lights are probably from the fires used by the Dakyat soldiers.

But I couldn’t really see them clearly.

“The Dakyat soldiers seem to be preparing for dinner.”

“Haru, you can tell?”

I knew that she has good vision but she’s able to tell even in such darkness?

“Yes. The White Wolf race prefer the night. Our night vision will be effective as long as there is moonlight.”

Haru said without bragging about it in particular.

The White Wolf and the moon do certainly seem to be paired existences.

“That sure is envious. I can’t really see much from here other than the lights.”

Maybe I’ll have Haru tell me all about the state of the Dakyat soldiers.

“Master, don’t you possess the skill called Hawk’s Eye?”

“Hn? Ah, oh right, I do have such a skill.”

Hawk’s Eye: Other skills【Hunter Lv60]

Allows the viewing of the land from above.

Able to configure the height up to 1 km at maximum.

Maybe I should give it a try.

Thinking so, I activated Hawk’s Eye.

Then, I felt as if my body was floating.

No, there were no changes to my body. My line of sight was the one rising upward.

When I tilted my head downwards, my line of sight tilted downwards.

Then, I saw my own figure below me.

“It’s as if I’m having an out-of-body experience.”

When I muttered that, the me below also opened my mouth.

The difference to an out-of-body experience would be that my movement was restricted to only either going up or down.

I gradually floated higher and higher.

I could no longer see the figures of Haru and myself due to the darkness.

However, when I looked at the soldiers, I could clearly see scattered fires from the sky.

The distance was in fact further but it was easier to see the movements of the soldiers from the sky.

“Hn? That is ― ”

“Ichino-sama, what did you see?”

“Uwa … Ah, I see, although my vision has floated up, my body is still on the surface so I can hear Carol’s voice huh …”

“Yes, everyone is here.”

When she said that, most likely it was Carol who grasped my hand.

A gentle touch was transmitted through my palm.

Was it Haru who grasped my hand on the opposite side?

… And I also felt a slight tugging sensation on my clothes.

Did Malina read the atmosphere and grabbed the hem of my clothes?

I was all alone in the sky but I was not lonely at all.

Then, I looked at that.

“I see squirming beings from the north-west direction ― it seems to be the monster herd and they have quite a number. Haru, can you confirm this?”

“No, a hill is blocking my view from here … ah, the soldiers are shooting arrows. It seems to be fire arrows.”

“Ah, so those are fire arrows … uwa, fire is spreading across the grass plains.”

Perhaps they scattered oil before releasing the fire arrows as the flames spread in an instant.
