Chapter 26

_________________________________________________

The first two days of the trip went smoothly well.

If a problem is to be mentioned, then it would only be about my sickness. But on the next day, things have changed.

Its from the time when most of the passengers have been reduced and the escort adventurers have settled down, and its also the time when tension has been lowered.

If it is now, then it would be the best time for something to happen.

When the carriage entered the woods were the highway continued, something got caught in my presence detection.

However, there was no sense of hostility to it. It was more of a sense of incongruity that Ive felt.

Nn?

Is something wrong, Nicole-sama?

Nn?

If its like this, they I have experienced something like this several times before.

At that time, the enemy was cautious and didnt show their intent or hostility.

I can feel something. For now just be cautious

what is itcan you grasped their number?

Probably, an artificial life form. I couldnt feel any kind of intent from it

Hearing my explanations, Finia immediately informed the adventurers. It was good that I was able to immediately notice it and help them prepare.

Enemies without any sense of hostility do exist.

Gargoyles, Slime, Golems, other than that would be plant based monsters.

Monsters like these dont show any form of hostility since most of them move by instinct, thats why its difficult to detect them if they are camouflaged in the surroundings.

Well, you could say that you wont be a good scout if you are not able to detect them.

Detecting that there are enemies, are you sure about this!?

After hearing Finias report, most of the adventurers came to me. Suspicion could be seen in their eyes, and their face shows disbelief in my words.

There is a high mortality rate when it comes to encountering monsters with a good camouflage. Adding to that is if you cant detect their presence which adds up to the difficulty.

Thats why I informed them, and with this they would be more cautious about their surroundings.

Un. Its in a bit of distance fwom hewe. Its pwobably hiding in the woods.

Its not that Im trying to talk in childish way, its just that I cant speak properly because Im still not used to talking and my tongue wont move the way I want to. Adding to that is my cute and clear voice which makes it even more childish, the impact it shows is quite the opposite.

As if responding to my words, one of the adventurers looked at a female adventurer. Then as a silent response, she immediately headed to the coachmans seat.

You said that it was in the woods, right. Then its probably something that would be waiting for us to pass by its range

Well, I also wont mind if they only thought of it as a childs prank. But in the two days that we were travelling together, they have certainly recognized my detection skills.

Thats why the adventurers seriously believed what Ive said.

One of the adventurers who went to confirm the situation came back, and after a bit, the carriage stopped.

So, whats the situation?

It was true. There was two slime, they were hiding on a grassy are close to the road

I was surprised. I didnt expect that her detection range would reach that far ahead

Ehhem

My look right now is definitely quite childish, but still, being recognized for your skills is always a pleasant thing.

Even if my nose grows pointy like that of a tengu, it is still a fact that I did great.

A Blobs movement is quite sluggish. As long as you dont get caught, then it wont be a difficult monster to handle. We will get rid of them first, so please patiently wait for us to return.

Is it really okay?

Yeah. Even if we face them up front, they wont be much of an opponent

What if they melt your weapons

Hmm, if that happens, then we still have to use our reserves on hand

A strong acid attack is one of the most common form of attack that Blobs use.

Because that same fluid is something that is contained in its body, the weapons they would use to attack would also suffer some damage.

Also, if they left they weapons unchecked, it would continue to corrode after several hours and would render it useless.

Thats why most adventurers hated fighting against Blobs.

In order to prevent this, they need to sterilize their weapon with strong alcohols. Thats usually one of the reasons why adventurers carry strong liquors.

We still dont know if its a strong one, so it might take some time before you are able to return, will it be fine for us to only stay behind and wait?

If we are not able to return after two hours or more, then it would probably better for you all to leave us and return

Ah, yeah

Dont worry. This is only in the worst case scenario

The adventurers then rushed out after talking to the merchant that was leading the carriage.

Watching over their backs as they slowly disappear from view was Michelle.

Will they really be okay?Hearing their talks, felt like they would be in a dangerous situation

Its about time huh. I think they would be fine but it will definitely take some time for them to return because it is definitely a tough enemy.

If its comparing to my experience, they would be about as strong as those Blobs.

But then, a new presence got caught up in my detection.

Ah

What happened?

Something is coming, and at a great speed. This one is also hostile

Enemies!?

Its probably a wild beast that was aiming for this carriage. I presume that it also has a wider detection range compared to my own, thats why I didnt know until it attacked and entered my detection range.

The adults who heard what Ive said panicked for a bit.

Michelles father also prepared his bow ready to defend his child. Finia also took out her dagger and went down from the Carriage.

I, I will help too!

You dont need to get out of the carriage Michelle-chan. Shoot it from there

Is, is that fine?

Un

After giving her proper instructions to prepare, I also jumped down from the carriage and took out my Katana.
