Last night, we were able to get through the night without any problems thanks to the sanctuary that I had set up throughout the camp before dinner.

Although I set up the sanctuary, it is the deepest part of the camp where the density of monsters is high, so we took turns taking a nap at night to guard against attacks from monsters.

　However, most of the demons couldn't break through the sanctuary I created and left, and only one of the electric tigers, the electric tiger, came at dawn when I was on guard.


　After that, I was worried about whether or not the sanctuary was breached, and after I finished judging the electric tiger's fangs and fur, the sun came up and everyone who had been taking a nap began to wake up.

　And after a while, a good smell started to come out, and Noelia called out to them.


'Master Flick, I have brought you breakfast. I apologize for the simple things we made from yesterday's leftovers, but please enjoy them.


　In Noelia's hand was a thin slice of dragonet meat, easily salted and grilled, tucked into a piece of bread and a cup of hot drink.


'I'm sorry. I'll go wash my hands right away.

'Then we'll be waiting for you. Please come back before it gets cold.

Yeah, I will.


　I replied to Noelia and washed my hands, which had handled the electric tiger, so as not to dirty the watering hole at the camp.


　When he returned, he received breakfast from Noelia, who was waiting for him, and decided to eat it.


　It was really only seasoned with salt, but the fresh dragonet meat was still superb.

　Successfully bled-out dragonet meat fetches a high price. This is because it is prized by the aristocrats of various regions.


''That's good,''

'Master Fricke did a good job of draining the blood out of it, so it's delicious just grilled with salt. I'm not very good at draining blood, so when I eat it, it's a bit bloody, but this time it was very tasty. But this time it was very tasty.


　I was making a meal and Noelia, who hadn't yet eaten breakfast, was sitting next to me and eating with me.


　The daughter of Lloyd, the daughter of the frontier count Lloyd, Noelia, the daughter of a great nobleman, was an eccentric child who had become an apprentice to a sorcerer in order to learn magic and live an adventurer's life in order to test her magic in a real battle.

　So she has no problem living in the encampment, which a normal warrior girl would sound like.


''Because the small size of a dragonet's body makes it easy for blood to go around its entire body. If you don't pull it out all at once, the smell will get to you.


　As he taught Noelia how to bleed out a dragonet, he thought about Alfine.


　She was too devastated by her cooking skills to make anything edible.

　So naturally, our roles were divided up so that I was the one who went from being an ingredient handler to making the food as well.


　Looking back, after cooking became my responsibility, Alfine started to abandon cleaning, laundry and other household chores and leave them to me.

　Maybe she took it for granted that it was natural for me, who had the ability to do the housework, to do it.

　The one who was made to do it was a pain in the ass. ......


"Master Flick?　How can I help you?

Oh, no. It's nothing. More importantly, if you take your time with your breakfast, you'll get left behind.

'What?　Ah, yes. That's right. I'll hurry up.


　As if to break the bad memories, I stuff the rest of the bread into my mouth and pour it down with my drink.

　Noelia did the same as I did.


'Feast!'

'No, I'm sorry about that. I'll wash my glass, and Mr. Fricke can go on with his own preparations. I don't have much in my pack and it won't take long to prepare.

I'm sorry, so I'll take you up on your offer.


　I handed the cup to Noelia and decided to start packing for the move.


　Today we're going to the Abyssal Pit (Abyss Falls) in order to visit the graves of the war dead in The Great Raid, which is the original purpose of the survey team.

　Since the distance between us is just a stone's throw away, we will return to the Yuguhanotes after visiting the graves.


''Well, do we need to pack this into a backpack?


　In front of me were the materials for the two dragonets I hunted yesterday.


　In addition to meat, scales, wing membranes, tusks and bones are also valuable as parts of armor and weapons, and can be traded to the Adventurer's Guild for high prices.

　It is said that dragons have nowhere to throw away, and the same was true for the child, Dragonette.


　Blitzkrieg tigers, or electric tigers, also have fangs that generate electric shocks, which are popular as weapon components, and their pelts are in high demand as materials for armor that protects against electric shocks.


　I filled my own backpack with these materials and used the weight saving technique I learned yesterday to reduce the weight.


　I put the enchanted backpack on my back and checked the weight.

　It was much lighter than before.


Okay, it's lighter now. It's the same as if I wasn't carrying it on my back.

'Lord Fricke, could you do me a favor?'


　I was getting ready to pack up when the knights in my escort spoke to me.


'Are you asking for a favor?'

"Yes, I wish I could, but ...... if you have enough magic power to spare, could you put that weight savings on our backpack (weight saving) as well?

''Oh, I see. It's good that it hardly consumes any magic power. It's easier to move around if your luggage is light, after all.

No, I'm not.


　The knights in the escort were bowing their heads in an apologetic manner.

　It seems that the knight who carried a weight saving bag yesterday stressed the effect to his fellow knights.


　After the preparation, I put weight saving on the backpacks of the knights who were carried on my back.

　The knights who hadn't experienced it before were surprised to see the weight.


"Boy, are you trying to corrupt my guard knights?


　I was putting a light weight (weight saving) on the knights' luggage when Lloyd, the frontier count, who had finished his preparations, approached me.


'Well, was that bad?


　Lloyd looked sternly at me and my escort knights.


I'm sure it's only the clumsy aristocrats who are holed up in the city. It's a very good idea to have a good time with them. It's a good idea to use it.

Huh, thank you.


　Apparently, he wasn't angry that he used magic on his own to ease the burden of his escort knights.

　Since he was an adventurer himself, he seemed to know the hassle of carrying a load, so he didn't warn the knights, and he may have dared to say it so that the knights would be able to ask for it proactively without feeling guilty.


''Master Lloyd, it's time for us to leave.

I'm sorry I'm late. I'm sorry I'm late.


　Noelia, who had been cleaning up, joined us, and now everyone was ready to go.


''Well then, it looks like we're all ready to go, so let's get going.


　At Lloyd's command, we left the camp and set off for our final destination, the Abyssal Pit (Abyss Falls).
