After saying goodbye to Nei, we returned to Grigit.
I didn't want to go back to Northstar right away.
Because of this, I am forced to make changes to my plans.
The original plan was to go to a certain village in Grigit.
We wanted to go to the capital from there, but thanks to our stop at the hidden fairy village, it ended up leading us to a detour that ended up being important.
But it was good.
I was able to save both Nei and the city of Northstar.
Our plans didn't necessitate that we travel in a hurry, so we were able to be flexible in terms of the places we visit.
...Although now I have to speed up the pace.
"Graaaaaaar!"
"The food at the inn yesterday was delicious. I didn't want to eat the internal organs, but when I tasted it, it was tasty."
"The owner recommended it to us."
"Frau is not a big fan of such food, I prefer something simpler."
The three of us exchanged a few words in harmony
"Graaaaar! Graaaaar!"
"By the way, Frau, I've never seen you in that state before."
"Sure! The Lord doesn't care too much about the strength of his companions just because he's strong. You should have more confidence in us, so you'll be able to rely more on your useless slaves!"
"I agree with you on that. Master has a tendency to try to do everything himself, so he has to rely more on us!"
"This is not what I was referring to."
While we were talking I was fighting a tiger. Well, I can't necessarily say a fight, since I was playing with it, but the tiger thought so otherwise.
When I grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up, he suddenly changed his behavior and started making a weird noise, like he was begging me to put him down.
You know you are no match for me when you fail to bite first.
Occasionally, even the monsters are wild and boring.
"I wonder how much a tiger's skin will is worth"... Hearing that, the tiger became nervous.
"Just kidding, but I hope I don't see you around here again."
"Gaur"
I threw the tiger and as soon as it hit the ground, it ran away at full speed without looking back.
Soon after, Panda peeked out of the backpack.
I guess he was hiding because he thought it was too much trouble.
"Hey..."
"Hmm?"
"Look at Frau's stats."
Speaking of which...
Skills
The increase in skills caused them to grow at a frightening rate.
What is this growth prayer?
"Growth Prayer is a skill that works for plants. As the name implies, it accelerates growth and speeds up the harvest time of crops."
"Hey, are you a blacksmith?"
"Yes, because I'm from a blacksmithing family."
That explains why she uses a hammer as a weapon.
So does that mean Papau makes armor?
Maybe I should ask him if he could make me a good quality knife next time.
"Just so you know, my Lord, there's also more to see."
"You mean the part about your age?"
"No! I'm talking about my level! I've improved a lot since the last battle!"
"Well, that's true, Frau-San."
"Please stop, thank you." (It angers her to be called San, since they realized she is older than they are.)
Frau rose from level 130 to 190 in the last battle.
Well, it is normal to happen if you have defeated a large number of demons.
Kaede has reached level 260. Soon she will be on a par with me.
And meanwhile I'm still stuck at level 300. The experience saving skill absorbs everything.
No matter how much experience is doubled, it is difficult to move up when most of it is being absorbed.
This ability is like a parasite.
《Notice: magic saving and skill experience saving have been restored.》
Messages appeared in my field of vision.
I think I spoke too fast. I guess these will suck up a lot of my experience as well.
Haaaah~.
The village was hidden deep within the mountains.
Far from the city, people continue to live their lives as in the past.
Of course, there is no shower, there are no convenient items, there are few wizards, and it is an old town that goes to the trouble of boiling water using wood fire every day.
However, this village is actually one of the best tourist spots that Grigit has to offer.
As proof of this, the town is filled with several inns and is crowded with travelers.
There are carved wooden bears and wild boars sold as souvenirs in the stores.
In one restaurant, there is a sign that says "the famous Patthang village tit bread".
Boob bread: what every man needs.
''By the way, Master, after leaving the village as planned, we'll be heading to the capital, right?''
"Yes, we will wait for Sain and the others there. Nei said that if we go back to Balseille now, we'll just be going around in circles. It'd be better to ambush them at that place to end this."
I will free Lisa and Soara, then I will kill Sain.
