<hr class="wp-block-separator">\nThings have been working a lot better than what we expected after I learned [Wind Barrier].\n
Ā It deflects not just the thrown daggers by the black goblins but all possible things that could lead to unexpected situations. Even if something came out all of a sudden, the barrier serves as a single use cushion to absorb it and give us enough time to react.\n
Without having the ability to eliminate the dangers from unknown possibilities, perhaps we wonāt be as at ease as we are right now.\n
In addition to it is its coverage. Ā \n
The layer is enough to cover four people with some space to maneuver. Since itās only the two of us, me and Sybilla, we have lots of room to spare.\n
It was due to it that Sybilla managed to stay within the barrier even if we are moving. Ā \n
When she is nearby, I can easily assess how much injury she has.\n
Everytime she receives an attack sheās spouting things like [Ouch ouch ouch] or [Tsssss] thatās really difficult not to miss.\n
By the time I hear her say those things, I just cast heals and cures on her without even checking.\n
No matter how many times I use them, I donāt feel like my mana is going to get depleted. But Extra Heals are still not going to get its chance to be used. What the heck is up with āJust use normal heals and minimize your usage of manaā when it doesnāt even amount that much in the first place.\n
Weāve defeated quite a number of them. Or so I thought when black goblins appeared along with a monster similar to the one that attacked the village, a scarlet dungeon bat.\n
The two goblins hold their weapons looking at us as they stand to the side to give way to the bat that could come forward at any moment.\n

[Thereās no sign of stairs or something like it around here but this thing suddenly appearedā¦ This looks troublesome.] (Russell)\n
<Transated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Unless we completely wipe out the monsters here in the upper levels, the children from the orphanage wonāt be able to come out and play.\n
Sybilla holds her shield in front as she looks at the bat.\n
<Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[It came out huh. I donāt know why this dungeon appeared but it really is unnatural for this type of monster to go outside. Thatās why unless we wipe them clean, I wonāt feel at ease for those kids and Gemma-baa-san.] (Sybilla)\n
[Then weāll just have to this properly.]\n
[Donāt even let one escape]\n
[Keep those words to yourself.]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Or so I said back to this cheeky mage but I donāt have any means for a long-range attack like Sybilla. Regardless, I still have to prevent the bat from escaping.\n
The monsters in front arenāt that well-coordinated but they launch their attacks at the same time.\n

[Tsk. Your heads are quite good for blackies but arenāt you quite full of your damn sh*tselves when youāre just goblins? <Fire Javelin>!]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Before we discuss what to do, Sybilla already made a move on her own with a high-level magic.\n
Itās far stronger than the <Fire Arrow> we mainly used earlier. A far bigger and sharper flame made out of mana burst out and skewered the center of the batās body.\n
When I saw that magic, I aimed at the goblin who flinched for an instant and cut off its neck.\n
The other one responded immediately and threw its dagger to me as it steps back and escapes. That one indeed has a good head.\n
Just as I was thinking of chasing it down, a streak of red light passed by and pierced its heart. That must have been a fire arrow.\n
ā¦No, wait. Just now?ā¦\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[Nice~ Not bad!]\n
[Oi, Sybilla.]\n
[N? What]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Sybilla replies to me without a care as she cuts off the ear of the goblin.\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[If you can cast fire arrow without chanting then you should have done that faster. Besides, we could have avoided a lot of dangers if you used your Fire Javelin a lot early.]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Upon hearing my thoughts, Sybilla crosses her arms on her chest and plastered a smug face.\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[Fufufu. Youāve leveled up earlier so what makes you think that I wonāt? Thatās the level 10 <Mage> magic! Howās that!]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Ah, so that was itā¦ If I can level up then it should be natural for Sybilla to level up too.\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[ā¦Iām still level 6 and youāve already went up two levels, Sybilla. I canāt say that I can just accept that.]\n
[Well, itās because I have offensive magic, you know? Obviously, the person who made biggest attacks is the one to get more stronger, no?]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Sybillaās answerā¦\n
Thatāsā¦ Isnāt it just common sense?\n
If I recall correctly, the order of levels from the heroās party is Vince, Jannet, Emmy, then me.\n
Emmy is the vanguard, but being a [Holy Knight] whose most abilities are meant to protect others, even if she is the one being close and dealing with the monsters, her level wonāt be higher to Jannet whose attacking in the rear.\n
Even if Sybilla and me are both rearguards, I think this outcome is just natural.\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[ā¦Uhm, well, Russell?]\n
[N? What?]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Sybilla seems a bit guilty of something and looks at me as she tries to squeeze out her words.\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[ā¦I think you know this already but, the [Priest] class is very rare and few in numbers so parties who have them are nurturing them thoroughly due to their importance. But youā¦ I have no idea why the heck did you get a [Saint] class but youāre already ridiculously strong so I got a bit carried away tooā¦]\n
[Sybilla, youā¦]\n
[The truth is as a mageā¦ I should have let you get those kills instead. Iām sorry for not telling you.]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
I see. Nurtured, huh.\n
If Iām like this, how can priests, who are lower than a notch from a Saint, operate in normal parties? I had no idea at all.\n
And the fact there are only small number of people who can use recovery magic. So thatās why they are being taken care of despite not doing much damage in the dungeon crawls.\n
Well, Iāve already lost my purpose in that party butā¦ Knowing this made me feel a bit better.\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[You donāt have to apologize.]\n
[eh?]\n
[Itās not Sybillaās fault. If you think Iām strong then thatās good enough for me. Since thatās the case then itās my fault since I am not strong enough to beat you, right? Besides, you look so unpleasant when you apologize. Your smug face suits you more.]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Sybilla seems taken aback from what I said and turned away from me as she closes her eyes without talking as if sheās thinking of something.\n
She then made a huge sigh and when she opened her eyes, I can now see that she regained her usual mood.\n
She then crosses her arms once again and laugh as she shrugged her shoulders.\n
Really, this side of her suits her more.\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[Well, yeah right. Then, I wonāt hold back and just keep it up, okay?]\n
[Iāll leave it to you. Ah, also]\n
[N?]\n
[Youāve been holding the goblinās ears when you crossed your arms so I can see the blood flowing in your jacket, you know?]\n
[Gah!]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
You thought you look so cool when you cross your arms with that outfit? Look at this pretty girl now getting all flustered.\n
Her disordered manners and helpless attitude are all part of the girl called Sybilla.\n
Watching her doesnāt bore me or make me tense.\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[ā¦.Pu~]\n
Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
When I saw Sybilla wipe the blood from her jacket with her tears, I canāt but laugh a little.\n
And then I came to realize something a few seconds later.\n
āI wonder when was the last time I laugh so naturally?\n
<Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
[aa mou~ I have to wash it laterā¦ N? now what?]\n
[Nothing-]\n
<Translated at Simplyrical.com>\n
Since I was expelled from the heroās party, I wasnāt able to laugh at all and I just noticed it.\n
Itās just that, deep inside me, it felt like I lost my composure to do so.\n
But that is something that this shameless thing canāt know since sheāll immediately get full of herself. Iāll just return the favor somehow.\n
Sybilla tilts her head slightly and immediately lost interest then began on dismantling the bat and prepare to roast its meat.\n
Mage, Sybilla. A person I somehow got to work with who thinks outside the box and has enough power herself. I donāt really understand why someone like her is doing things alone.\n
Iāll understand if it is somehow related to troubles brought by men but if thatās the case then why would she team up with me then?\n
Well, if ever you have these troubles, Iāll help you work it out if you ask.\n
But until the threat to the village is gone, Iāll be the one to gladly receive your help.\n
