Chapter 312 Strongest Sage, To the South
"The demon at Zadoria hasn"t died off then?"
"Yes . It appears 『Eye of Heaven』 did not hit it . "
The demon is undoubtedly still alive .
This was supposed to be a simple fetch quest . . . But it"s gotten quite interesting now .
"We may end up having to fight a greater demon . "
"Yes . . . However, I believe all is well . "
Grevil replied back to me without a hint of worry on his face .
"Why do you think so?"
"I can"t ever picture Mathias-san losing even if the opponent is a greater demon . . . Ruli-san, Almsan, and Iris-san are with you too . I would like to aid Mathias-san myself, but I am incapable of fighting due to the curse . "
"Eh, us!?"
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
"I feel like we"ve been barely partic.i.p.ating in battles so far though . . . "
"No way I could win against Mathias-san, okay!?"
The three girls expressed their shock at Grevil"s words .
Grevil spoke to them .
"Your individual strength may fall short, but the correct support at the right time can turn the tides of battle . . . This party especially has a nice balance . "
Grevil looks over our party .
Ruli who specializes in a wide array of augment magic and Alma who delivers those magic with her arrows .
And Iris with the strength to brute force through difficult situations .
It"s a very nicely balanced party indeed .
"Grevil is right . . . The battle this time will probably quite tricky if we"re up against a greater demon . . . I"m counting on you with the support . "
"Understood! I"ll do my best!"
"Gotcha!"
"Yes! . . . I"ll be sure to go on a proper rampage!"
We left Second Academy after exchanging words .
Our destination, Gravy Wood--Zadoria .
◇
" . . . It should come into view soon . "
As the sun was setting .
We arrived at a spot near Zadoria .
"It was so far . . . "
"Been a while since we ran all the way till dark!"
"Yeah . . . We haven"t been to the national border for a quite some time . "
Zadoria was located near the border to Raginia Union .
And not in the direction we last went to Raginia, but far more south .
It took practically the whole day even with our legwork .
We could have arrived sooner if I made Iris fly . . . But I"d like to save her power .
" . . . It"s a bit hot even though it"s nighttime soon . Kinda drive the feel of being in the south . . . "
Alma surveyed the surrounding area as she said that .
Indeed . . . The atmosphere here feels southern-like .
There"s a lot of coconut trees around and the people walking down the streets are wearing light clothings .
Many are even wearing aloha shirts .
"Err, should I make some augment magic to lower temperature for us?"
Ruli fetched magic stones as she said that .
But . . . Wearing thick clothings in this town will likely draw attentions .
I"d like to avoid standing out in a town where a greater demon is lurking .
That way it"d be harder for it to sniff us out .
Which means . . .
"No, let"s put on the same clothings as the locals . We should investigate stealthily instead of openly challenging the greater demon . . . Can you make that same aloha shirt from before?"
We could also buy some after entering the town, but that"d invite suspicion .
It"s better to prepare some beforehand if we want to sneak in secretly .
Since Ruli is also pretty good at sewing, maybe she could make some for us .
"Of course, I can!"
