Chapter 59: B011 – A Divine Rain

The next day, early in the morning.

After camping overnight, the convoy packed their luggage and continued their journey. Hecate, who had another four hours of rest before the departure time, had filled her login limit to the fullest.

The moment she reappeared inside the carriage, Kaire and Floire suddenly frozen on the spot.

Their expression were indescribable, mixed with guilt and shame from what happened last night. At first, they couldn't understand why this loli could appear inside the barrier that Floire deployed. If she were to enter by breaking the barrier, Floire would know it immediately. But the barrier was intact and she just appeared inside without much problem.

Now they know the reason.

Touya noticed the awkward atmosphere from the two and asked them worriedly.

"Is there something wrong? You two did not look good." (Touya)

"Ah... it's nothing..." (Floire)

Floire looked away as she replied.

Minami also expressed her worries. Although Floire said nothing, but her expression was so easy to understand that everyone who saw it would  know that something had happened.

"Really? If you're sick, just tell me. We can abort this quest." (Minami)

"No, no, no. No need to abort our quest. It was our personal problem." (Kaire)

This time, it was Kaire who answered.

"Personal problem?" (Minami)

Kaire did not say anything else. However, Minami noticed that Kaire and Floire occasionally stole their glances at Hecate. She could conclude that their weird behavior was involved with this girl.

Hecate, who has been silent from the beginning also noticed their glance. She then said.

"Don't worry about last night. I won't say anything that makes your life difficult." (Hecate)

She paused for a bit, before continuing with a smile.

"You two have shown me such a beautiful view. If there's a next time, I'd like to see it again." (Hecate)

"Ahahaha, it would be our honor if you like it." (Kaire)

Kaire replied with an awkward laugh, while Floire's face instantly turned red from embarrassment.

Touya and Minami who didn't know what they were talking about could only be confused. The three of them were talked so vaguely that it was hard for them to mix up.

Even so, they couldn't help but try to join the conversation.

"Eh, what is this beautiful view you guys were talking about? I want to see it too." (Minami)

"Yes, I also want to know. It's not fair that you guys only show it to her but not to us!" (Touya)

"DEFINITELY NO!" ×2 (Kaire & Floire)

The siblings unitedly answered Touya and Minami's words with their voices of refusal.

It was purely accidental that Hecate had saw their immoral feast last night. But, to show it to others, they could only refuse. They did not have the hobby of showing off their naked bodies to others, not even to their best friends.

Hearing Kaire and Floire rejection, Touya and Minami couldn't help but shocked. They simultaneously looked toward Hecate with a complicated look.

'Since when did this girl get along with the two siblings, even more so than us?'

'They get along so well that they share secrets together!'

Hecate who received two heated glance couldn't help but tilting her head in confusion.

'Why are they looking at me with such expressions? Did I do something wrong?'

But, she did not have the time to ask.

Because, suddenly someone outside shouted with a loud voice, warned them about the battle that was about to come.

♦♦♦

 

One of Georg's guards who observed the surrounding suddenly noticed about the enemies waiting in the bush.

He then shouted with all of his might.

"Enemy spotted! Everyone! Prepare for battle!" (Guard)

Everyone immediately responded to the shout by getting off the carriage.

The convoy had encountered a pack of wolves, and they had been surrounded. It seemed that they had entered the wolves' territory, and as a natural conclusion, the wolves had set up an ambush.

• • Gray Ash Wolf (Lv46) ×25 - HP 3000~4000

During the journey, the convoy always maintained an inverted triangular formation, where at each point was protected by a party, ensuring the safety of Merchant Georg's carriage in the center.

The carriage where Sharp Edge party (+ Hecate) were located on the left side.

And currently, they had to face 8 wolves.

"Eat this fist of mine...! TIGER ECHO FIST!!" (Minami)

-530  -535  -540

"Touya! Finish off this one!" (Kaire)

"DOUBLE SLASH!!" (Touya)

-825  -825

"Flo-chan, I need blood!" (Minami)

"Here I come, Minami-chan! HEAL!!" (Floire)

+500

Touya and Minami each faced 4 wolves, Kaire assisted them by weakening the wolves with poisons, while Floire stayed behind as support.

The vanguard did well, they had good cooperation and fast response. And Floire also did well supporting the vanguard, healing them whenever needed.

But sadly, being 3 against 8, they were outnumbered. It didn't take long for their defenses to leak.

GRAAWWWRRR!!!

One of the wolves went past Minami and Touya's blockade and rushed towards Floire's direction.

"Ah... KYAAH!" (Floire)

"FLO-CHAN!!" ×2 "FLOIRE!!" ×1

Touya, Minami, and Kaire's faces went pale.

Unlike them, Floire was just a weak bunny girl without any combat force. She would likely die in a second if she faced any monster. And with the harsh death penalty, she won't be able to login for 24 hours if she died. But even without that, she would be respawned back to Nerkia City and it would be impossible to catch up.

As a Priestess, Floire was the sole healer of the party Sharp Edge and also their lifeline. She was also the only one to have Resurrection skill in the party. Without her, there would be no one to resurrect them if they were to die.

They had all prepared for the worst, waiting for the gory scene of a bunny being devoured deliciously by the wolf...

...Literally.

Fortunately, there was a loli who prevented that to happen.

 

— DISPERSED WATER BOLT (Lv5)! (All rings removed)

WHUSSH! SPLASH!!!

-6200!

 

Before the wolf arrived at Floire's location, something suddenly flew and penetrated the wolf's head.

"Eh? What was that? Water ball?" (Floire)

Floire who had been resigned from her doom was surprised with the situation. That something which looked like a blob of water most likely was a spell that was launched by someone. She immediately looked at the direction where the bullet came from.

In any case, this person had saved her life and she would like to offer her gratitude. But after looking at the savior of her life, Floire's expression suddenly turned awkward.

"Hecate-chan..."

She couldn't help but embarrassed as she recalled about the deal with her last night.

♠♠♠

 

Hecate was quietly observing the entire battlefield from the carriage roof.

Just before the battle started, with her jumping power enhanced by her Acrobatic subclass, she jumped onto the roof without anyone realizing. Then, she opened her minimap and activated the map 3D view function. The geography, allies, and enemies now has been perfectly described as 3D models inside her minimap.

In that moment, the surrounding area within 10 meters was at Hecate's grasp!

This function shouldn't be available normally, except people with the Tracker subclass. Or more precisely, learned a certain skill called Enhanced Minimap, an exclusive skill of this subclass. As for why Hecate was able to learn this skill, of course it was because of a certain equipment.

A cheaply bought Monocle from a Native shop.
