Chapter 48: 48-Episode 47

It was while they were camping on the second night of their journey to Count Goldart's territory.

'Mmm......'

'Hmm? What's wrong, Will?

A bonfire was lit in the forest in the dark of night, with five people surrounding it.

Irene, who was serving soup from a simmering pot next to me, noticed my voice and raised a question.

'No, there was a response to the alert. Three creatures slightly larger than human size.'

'What's ...... alert, is that magic? Does that mean there are monsters nearby?

I nodded at Irene's words.

I'm not sure if it's a monster or not, but it's a possibility we should keep in mind.

Alert is a spell that causes a membrane of probes to stretch around the circumference of a fifty-meter radius centered on the sorcerer.

When someone passes through the membrane of invisible and untouchable magic, the information is transmitted to the sorcerer.

Alert is a spell that half utilizes the instinct of the magician, and only identifies those whom the magician instinctively perceives as 'requiring a certain amount of caution'.

So, for example, even if 'mere ants' that are everywhere pass by, the alert will not detect them.

However, the detection film of the alert does not inform the magician of the identity of the person who passed through it.

The effect of the spell only informs the direction of the target and its vague volume.

This alert spell consumes little mana and lasts for half a day, so I always keep this spell in use on my journey.

The area of effect of fifty meters is not so meaningful in a place where the view is open, but in a situation like the one we are in now, where we are in the forest, I can say that it has a high enough spying ability.

In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

'...... They're definitely there. They're slowly approaching us.

Mee put her hands on her cat ears and made a gesture of listening carefully.

I can't hear the sound yet, but I'm sure it's the result of her good hearing as a beast and her training as a thief.

On the other hand, Satsuki hears it and stands up with her sword in her hand.

I don't know what you're talking about, but you shouldn't be here at dinner time. But Will's magic is still amazing, isn't it? I can't believe he noticed me before I heard him.

'No, the alert information only comes when it passes through the alert membrane. We can't detect any movement once it's inside the membrane, so we'll have to rely on Mee's ears in the end.'

I said and patted her head.

I can't help but do this because Mi's head is at the right height for me, but she seems to be somewhat happy despite her reluctance, so I guess I don't have to stop consciously.

'I wonder what's a little bigger than human size, anyway.

Irene said with a bit of excitement as she put down her bowl and ladle and stood up, ready to draw her sword at any moment.

Whether or not I'm as elated as she is, I'm certainly curious to see what it is.

'Then let's have a look.

I decided to cast a see-through spell.

Even though the consumption of magical elements is rather heavy, obtaining as accurate information as possible is the most important thing to avoid risks.

I completed the spell and turned my gaze in the direction indicated by the alert.

As I pass through the trees that are blocking my view from one end to the other, I see a creature in my field of vision.

It was an obese demihuman, nearly two meters tall.

Their skin was green and their heads resembled those of pigs.

There were three of them.

Three of them, with wooden sticks in their hands as clubs, weave their way through the trees.

'...... Orcs. There are still three of them. They're coming towards us, but they're a little off in their direction. They're not aware of our presence, so it's probably just a coincidence.

Orcs are F-rank monsters.

They have strong arms and vitality, but their movements are slow, and a skilled swordsman like Irene or Satsuki could easily see through their movements and take them out.

When I gave her the information about the target, Irene looked at me in surprise.

'Will's magic can tell that much? All I can see are trees.

Irene knows very little about the magic I use.

I hadn't had much of a chance to see her since I started attending the Academy of Magic.

'Oh. See-through is a spell that allows you to see through any object in the area of effect and see beyond it.'

'Heh, ......, eh? I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

...... What the hell is this guy thinking?

'...... You know what? If you're asking me if it's possible for a spell to do that, it is possible, but there's no way I'm doing that.

'That's right. Hahaha, what am I saying? Hahahahaha ......'.

Irene laughed as if to cover up her mistake.

At all .......
