Chapter 129.1 \n<h1>Chapter 129 Used To </h1>\n\nThe streaks of light that flashed across the sky in the night were like giant shooting stars.Its sound shook the air. Although there was still some distance between us, I could tell that the meteor strike was quite destructive as I had tagged along on Lucia’s magic spell trials many times.
…… Is there a Dragon rampaging or something? I am really glad that we went down the mountain in a hurry.
I left Black-san and his friends who were looking at the light in a daze and headed for Sytry.At the campfire, Liz was sitting cross legged and her eyes were *kirakira* shining as she looked up at that light in the sky. Her expression seemed like she was watching some fireworks. It was a stark contrast to Tino’s drawn-out expression who was sitting next to her.
When Sytry saw me, she smiled and offered me the bowl and spoon which was in her hand.I smell stew. It smells good. I suddenly start to get hungry.
“Here you go. It has been a while since I have made stew. The seasonings and potions were limited, so sadly, it isn’t as good as usual ――”
“Aaah, thank you. …… Un, it is really delicious.”
“I am glad. I had a hard time preparing it because Onee-chan kept getting strange meat ――”
Apparently, Sytry doesn’t mind that light. It is true that the stew was excellent, but I can’t help but be bothered by that light.\n
I was sure that Sytry, who knew so many things, would be able to guess what that light was. When I sat down next to her, Sytry made a blank look and for some reason happily leaned close to me so that our shoulders were touching.
A sweet smell drifted from her well-groomed hair. It was a soothing smell.
“………… Sytry, you know, it is about that light ――”
“Eh? …… Aaaaah, it is the usual, right.”
!? …… I see…… The usual…… It is the usual, huh.
The outside is full of danger. Although it was supposed to be a vacation, we had already three near misses with danger in Elan, Gula and Garest Mountains.I wonder how all the peddlers and other people in the world move around safely. I would like to know their tricks.
The lightning-like lights were shining sporadically and showed no signs of ending. Even an ignorant person like me knows that this was not a natural phenomenon. I got a bad feeling about this.
“…… Do you think we should run away?”
“Eh…… Hmm…… I think it is still too early…… And we still haven’t eaten yet.”
Unlike the scaredy cat me, Sytry was calm and collected. She is used to traveling. \nThere were several chunks of meat skewers roasting on the fire. There were stews and also fishes. We wouldn’t be able to load everything on the carriage. So I was planning on staying here for the night.
Â
Abandoning this place meant that we would have to march into the night again. Even though I just told White-san and his friends about not overworking them ―― But the lightning seemed to be slowly approaching us. Is this what it means either you go or not, hell is awaiting you.
While frowning, I put the stew in my mouth when Sytry suggested something to me. Despite the situation, she seemed to be enjoying herself.
“At that speed, it will be a while before it gets here. That’s right! It is only a little but…… We also have alcohol. Shall I take it out?”
I see. It is going to take a while before it gets here………… Why are you already assuming that it is heading here?No, there is another possibility too, you know? I think there is also a small percentage of chance that it isn’t heading here. Before I could answer, Sytry pulled out a clean bottle and glass from her backpack and poured me a drink.
I took it as she handed it to me and gave it a sip. It was probably a very strong drink, a burning heat spread across my tongue like it was on fire.
Sytry squinted and as she looked up at the night sky, her cheeks got hotter.
“However, it seems the output is quite high…… It doesn’t look like a Relic ―― Is it derived from a Material?”
“? Derived from a material?”
\nThe sight of the two of them being entangled was a little lascivious. Their skin was glistening lustrously in the campfire light. To be honest, I think you could make money if you put it as a show.
If they show that kind of appearance it is a sight for sore eyes, but if there was more than this it would be uncomfortable. If Luke or Anthem were here, this wouldn’t be happening though……
