311-305 shortcut




 Before setting up camp, the amphibian is placed in a magic bag and the backpack carried by Lucielynn to stop the demons that were still alive.
 After that, Paula, Lisian, and Doran join in to dismantle it, and things are moving at a rapid pace.

 At the side, me, Nanya and Estia were preparing the food in detail.
 It was very unfortunate that the faces of the War Maiden Holy Knights were so unfortunate, even now they had no concept of cooking at all, the only way to cook was to bake.

 And it was the same for Nadia and Lydia as well, perhaps because they didn't usually stand in the cooking area, but they had never cooked properly.
 They all thought it would be better to learn to cook from Nahlia and the maids once, but of course, there was no way they could say such a thing, and they continued to cook in silence.

 When I told Lumina-san and the others halfway through that surprised look on their faces when I told them that I was going to cook, I laughed, as expected....

 I thought about asking Lumina-san and the others to help me, but I felt like I was going to cut not only the vegetables, but the cutting board as well, so I decided not to call on them.
 I was relieved when he told me the story of how he had actually cut a chopping board once.

 By the way, I heard that my mentor and Bazak can also cook, but this time I had Lionel and I were in charge of guarding the place.

'So Nanya, how's your body feeling?'
 Nanya had fainted like an anemic due to the effects of her rapid leveling up.
 Fortunately, thanks to Lucy, who was good at recovery magic, it wasn't that much of a problem, but it was a dangerous place to be.

''I'm fine now. But I'm still confused by the feeling of strength flooding out of my body and a great sense of hunger.''
'I've pushed you too hard. And I'm sorry you just collapsed and had to cook. Have a good dinner and get a good night's sleep today.
 I had just finished apologizing for my bad behavior, as I didn't expect to get sick due to the rapid leveling up, and I had just finished apologizing for my bad behavior.

'No, it's not a problem for me to stay awake anymore. Besides, I was just on the amphibian and didn't do anything else.
That's nice to hear.
 Next time I want to travel with people who can cook.

''But then again, was it really that easy to raise the level? I can't believe the level is 118 all at once.
 If I said that in public, I'd definitely get a white stare.

''No, this time it's quite extraordinary. I didn't expect your level to exceed a hundred in one day. You can try running a little later, or you can try flying with gradual effort on the spot.
That still sounds scary, so I'll refrain from doing that.
 Nanya would laugh at that.

 I then call out to Estia, the other person who is helping me with the food.
'Estia, are you tired?'
I'm fine. I'm just wondering about a few things.
What's bothering you?
'Yes. It's that uncivilized forest, but it seems that there was a powerful demon ward that was put in place to keep the demons away.
 Is that why the dragonkind didn't come into the savage forest? It seems a little different.........
''It's the dark spirits? Forenoire didn't say that, though.
 Of course I didn't feel that way either.
 It's not that I didn't believe in it, but a ward that only dispels demons.......there was only one person who had the potential to create one.

''Probably because it's a dark attribute that's common in demons, so I could notice it...''
'I see. The water spirit said there's a real elven village, and I think it's probably related to Lord Leinster. I don't think we need to go that deep, but does it still bother you?
Yes, sir.
'Then we'll do another survey after everything is over.
 And I'd like to visit the place where the World Tree was supposedly originally located.

Thank you very much. Oh, all the preparations are done here. All we need to do now is to slowly boil it down.
 By the way, Esther is a very good cook and a really helpful and capable person.

''You're early. Then could you ask Dolan to make me a chair and a table for you?'
Yes, sir.
 Estia says that and goes to Doran.

 While looking at Estia like that, Nanya mutters her impressions.
''Estia-san, you've become somewhat brighter, haven't you?
'Yeah. Maybe a lot of things just blew over.
I see.
 After that, Nanya and I continued our conversation and finally finished making dinner.
 With so many people, I had to adjust the portions in various ways, and it was a challenge to put the flavors together.

 Afterwards, the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad had a difficult look on their faces as if the food I made was better than expected.
 As expected of Gruger-san, who has the street name of a cooking bear, and Grunz-san, who now teaches cooking to housewives in the Holy City, this is a recipe.

 I hope this will get even one person to wake up to cooking.
 After finishing the dinner, which was filled with such a desire, we decided to turn on the fire, and the rest was free to go about our business.

 Immediately, Master and Lionel asked me to have a light mock battle to get used to the effects of the increased level, but obviously the atmosphere was different from yesterday's, so I asked them to have a mock battle with me.

 They reluctantly agreed, but when the mock battle began, their movements were faster and more powerful than yesterday's.
 I started to think about what the water spirit had said here again, what it meant to desperately train at the foot of the dragon valley.
 In a full strength mock battle, it was enough to make all but a few of us don't know if it was because we both thought we were going to be treated.

 Even if it was a one-on-one match, he watched their mock battle as a recovering officer, knowing that it was going to be a tough match.

 After that, there were no nighttime attacks that we were worried about, and we were able to rest our bodies well, and after finishing our breakfast, we finally decided to head to the cave.
 But before we entered the cave, Master said an unbelievable word to us: "Luciel, we must get to the cave.

''Luciel, have you been told to make sure you go through the cave?''
What's the matter with you all of a sudden? I think it was something like, 'Come to the bottom of the cave without using a giant golem'.
 The cave ahead would be the designated cave.

"Is it bad to jump into this crack?
 The Master points to the bottom of the cliff and says

''Well I can't see the bottom, can I?''
 Maybe it's because there's no light shining, but I can't see the bottom no matter how many times I look at it.
 It would be possible to jump down from here.
 However, if you come back, or encounter a monster, the level of danger will increase significantly.
 I'm not sure if it's a good idea to jump off this cliff with no regard for safety, especially if it's an airship.

''With Luciel's dragon magic, we'll be able to get to the bottom safely, right?
I don't know. Besides, we have to anticipate a situation where the magic power is nullified.
 I don't think they'll be able to seal the demon, either, but just in case.

'I don't mind going into the cave, but I was wondering how long it would take to get to the foot of the cliffs, which are somehow so far down you can't see below.
 I can't help but think that's what my master told me to say, but if I were to use the power of the wind dragon to borrow it, it would be difficult to do so without my partner's approval.

''What do you think, Forenoir?''
'It's interesting. I'm sure they're planning all sorts of traps and strategies, but it's all for naught. Besides, I'm sure they'll eventually get to the bottom and have a lot going on, so we won't be wasting our time.''
........right. What do you guys want to do?
 When I asked, a number of people wanted to fly, and in the end it was decided by a majority vote that we would dare to fly as a group.

 I then activated the area barrier on everyone and got them ready, while I used my wind dragon power to begin the slow descent down the cliff with everyone else.
