Rice for Enoch's Second Expeditionary Unit

It looks like Zara was spreading her uniform near the fire to dry it out during the night.

"Thank you, that was helpful"

The uniform is wrinkly and wrinkly, but I just feel happy with some dry clothes.

I also went to collect the pants I threw yesterday. It was dry as a whole.

Put that in the bag.

It was almost dry in the bag. Is it the effect of a magically made fire? I changed my pants to something else.

When you change into a uniform, Zara makes a suggestion.

"Mel, before this, you said you knew where Amelia was through the engraving, didn't you?

"Yes."

"Maybe you're acting with everyone, so will you look into it?

"Okay."

I'll touch the engraving on the back of my hand.

"Huh?"

Only for a moment, share your vision with Amelia.

What was shown in front of me was the figure of Lieselotte, restrained in the woods.

"Lie...... why!?

"Mel, what's wrong?

Explain to Zara the situation in which Amelia and Lieselotte were placed.

"I see..."

I thought the captain was looking for us.

I can't believe you were in custody.

"Excuse me. I should have checked it out sooner"

"No, there's nothing we can do without weapons, hungry, wet clothes."

"... Yes"

What will we do now?

Ms. Zara put her hand on her chin and was bareback thinking about something.

This would be downstream of the valley, so it's going to be hard just to climb a cliff and go somewhere with a mountain hut. As soon as possible, it will take more than half a day.

The nearby village is about an hour by horse. But there's no Knights garrison. The Knights are deployed in a city that runs for about three hours.

Even if we leave now and get to how well we are, it will be evening or night.

There are so many demons at night that I can't act.

So is it early to be back here, or about noon tomorrow?

Until then, I don't even know if the captains are safe.

Zara talks calmly about whether her thoughts have been put together.

"This is a guess, but it may not be a demon, but a spirit who fought when he entered the mountain."

"Spirit, is it"

"Yeah. Something strange about Mr. Gale, Mel, and Amelia not noticing signs until just before. Besides, demons can't use magic."

I see. Is that so?

But why the hell?

"It... touched the wrath of the forest spirits, or something?

"Speaking of which, you said the Magic Research Bureau had come to investigate before,"

If so, it would be counterproductive to go to the Knights for help.

"What do you think of Zara?

"Maybe we should go together."

"I agree."

But there's also a problem. How can I quell the wrath of the Forest Spirit?

"The way Mel and I are in the village, I don't think you can have a moment."

- Personal confessor (Shinjingi). I give people their lives and their magic and beg for forgiveness.

You shouldn't do that. Shake your head sideways.

Zara would never do that, either, he assured me.

But you won't be able to go with your bare hands.

"Then how about Mel dedicates the food she made out of Demon Stick Gras?

If it is an ingredient made out of my magic, you will forgive me - will you?

I grip the Demon Stick Gras and think nagging.

………………

Yeah, I can't.

The procedure was not activated.

"Maybe hunger is the trigger?

"Perhaps."

Unusable, this ability!!

Disappointed, I poke my knee on the spot and drool.

Waste of time. Moving on to the next agenda.

"Mel, do you know where everyone is, mostly?

"Eh..."

Again, touch the contract engraving.

The location is deeper in the woods to the south than the valley. Then, Amelia's feelings pour in.

- What are you doing, you, Spirit!!

- Don't eat Leezelotte's magic!!

- I'm hungry.

- Grandma Mel... I want to see you...

I hear Amelia's words, and I cry in tears.

I can't believe I'm hungry. Besides, you want to see me...

"Mel?

"Oh, sorry"

I took out my hand towel and wiped my tears - but this, when I looked closely, pants. But I don't care anymore.

I want to see Amelia too. Made me sad.

But I can't help but say I messed up. We need to have a discussion.

"After all, it looks like the Spirit did it. Mr. Zara, what do you think we should do?

"Right."

First, I get advice that it wouldn't be a good idea to go with the Knights uniform.

"Sure, merchants and others through the woods haven't been attacked, so maybe they're also looking at the outfit"

The design of the Knights uniform is very similar to the design of the Magic Research Bureau uniform.

"Then once you get back to the foot, you'd better take your horse to a nearby village and get yourself together."

"Yeah, right. But the problem is..."

Firstly, that Mr. Zara is unarmed. If it comes down to fighting demons, it will be overwhelmingly disadvantageous.

"I'm sorry. With one knife, I can't protect Mel or Sla very well."

"No... I'm useless too..."

What shall I do? Thinking about that, Sla in the magic bottle rocks hard with Gragra.

"Sura......?

"I think I want to tell you something."

I was trying to tell him something last night, but he ended up apologizing and coming through.

"Mr. Zara, do you think it's okay for Sura to let you out?

"What do you think? Mr. Gull is not here... But it's like I'm suing something stronger than yesterday."

"Right"

I haven't been with Sla for long. But it didn't seem like I'd run away or do anything wrong.

After discussing it with Zara, we decide to open the magic bottle.

When I open the lid, Sla comes out plump.

They make things like tentacles, they gesture, they try to tell us something, but they have no idea.

Ultimately, when Sura shudders.

A clear body emitted light and a magic formation emerged. And...

"Huh?"

"This is!

What began to flow as it gushed out of the magic formation was light, glowing water. This is... holy water!

"Sura, this!

"Holy water!

Wow. I can't believe this stuff can be generated.

If you wear holy water from your head, you will avoid demons. When I ask if I can have it, Sla sticks her two tentacles together to make a circle. I guess that means no problem.

Me and Mr. Zara, we sprinkled holy water. Now, the demon problem will be solved.

"Still, Sura, you're amazing. I can't believe you have the power to make holy water."

Sla shudders left and right as she denies it.

"You mean you don't have the ability to make holy water?

Sura made a circle out of tentacles.

"What does that mean?

"Uh-huh. Oh, could it be the ability to take anything you've ever ingested out?

Sla, hang in there, I made a circle out of tentacles. Zara seems to be quite right in her answer.

"Does that mean there's no rest of the holy water?

Create four tentacles from above your head. Four more holy waters, I think I can get them out.

"Maybe even when I was cooking a meal, you were trying to serve me something?

As I affirm, Sla creates a circle with her tentacles.

Moving around, the magic formation floats. Coming out of the inside were two citrus shards and a spoon of salt, thin mint grass (mintze) leaves.

"This is the ingredient for the water that Sura drank yesterday. You were trying to offer me condiments."

"Oh, that's amazing."

In the drinking water of the second unit are added the bactericidal medicinal herbs, squeezed citrus fruit and salt. Apparently, it can also break down the ingredients of the beverage.

"Thank you, Sura!

To thank you, a chest-stretching slut. Such a girlfriend (?), I was to bow my head deeply.
