31 – This is cute – 2

The role of a supporter is also important for mental care. And for mental care, delicious food and a good bed could be said to be essential.

So, while progressing through the main story, these are the things I first and foremost mastered.

“Yaaa~ I heard that, but I heard that staying overnight with the wise man is like sleeping at home.”

“I see. It’s as comfortable as my home? How do you make it like this?”

I put a lot of things like this because it’s difficult to take care of your mental health during battle or during the story because you’re alone with a warrior’s party.

Most adventurers focus on combat and ignore life skills, but this is also a great help in progressing the game.

“Do you think you’re a wise man? Anyway, princess. Are you okay?”

Baltin asked Lucille, who was the first to sleep overnight. Throwing a twig into the bonfire, he asked in a caring way, and Lucille hugged the sleeping bag with an awkward expression.

“Okay, that’s fine.”

“You don’t look all right. If anything, sleep next to Lukendi. Humans like the fur of beasts.”

Baltin’s party mate, a lioness beast archer, waved. As she opened her arms, with impressive fluffy golden hair, Lucille looked at the spot I had made for her and at her, then shook her head.

“Because Master prepared it…”

“Then I’ll go over there.”

Lukendy grinned and headed to Lucille’s side. She looked like she was going to refuse, but she seemed to like Lucille quite a bit, as her hair blocked the cold air at night.

“Your hair is so soft.”

“Whoa. Right? Falling in love with my hair, Baltin every night…”

“Kyaa, kyaaak. That, talking about that…”

“Ah. You’re of a noble class, so you don’t know that? Joatsu. Then, I’m going to teach you sex education for the princess today… No, more than that, princess. Did you have your first love? Huh?”

“That, that’s it. I… I’m Su, Master over there.”

“Ohh~ You say you like the wise man? Sage sir. You kindled a fire in the girl’s heart. He has many sins. But what to do with this? There are many adventurers who like the wise man. Rumors say that he is a eunuch… .”

“Eh?!”

“…what…?”

Lucille and Veronica looked at me in bewilderment, and I cried out in tears.

“Who’s the eunuch! Because he’s so good?!”

“But why? Among the adventurers I know, there seem to be many people who like the wise man.”

“It’s just that I haven’t found a woman I can consider a member of the opposite sex yet.”

“What’s your taste, wise man?”

it’s my taste

Well…

First of all, you must be a normal person mentally.

As soon as I shut up, Lukendy smiled smirkingly and started talking about adults, and Lucille’s face turned red.

Lukendi’s speech is better than I thought. Baltin’s party seemed to know the importance of mental care, probably because it was an S-rank adventurer’s party.

While they chattered away from me and talked about other topics, Galik’s party gathered around the campfire.

“Ugh… it’s cold at night.”

“Because Lizardmen are weak against the cold. Why don’t you use some magic?”

“I’ll ask you a favor.”

I spread worm magic to raise the temperature around me. Only then did the Lizardmen lie down in one place and curl their tails, and after a while they fell asleep.

“How about night shift?”

“I’ll do it, everyone go to sleep.”

“I don’t know if this is too much for you. Are you okay?”

“it’s okay.”

I threw more twigs into the fire and picked up the tin kettle. While making tea with boiling water, the other guys slowly started to fall asleep.

“Master, are you okay?”

“Yes. By the way, is the princess all right?”

“yes…”

It doesn’t look good. However, Lucille, who was trying to fall asleep somehow, ended up getting her face in Lukendi’s fur.

“…Cardinal Veronica looks comfortable.”

“I’m used to it.”

Lying on the seat she had prepared near me, Veronica replied calmly. Well, it’s not the first time I’ve slept with him.

“The sage’s hand.”

“….Aha.”

Again, a strange atmosphere begins to permeate. Well, as long as we don’t grab each other by the neck, there won’t be a problem, so let’s leave it alone.

“I wonder how much you’ve experienced Master’s touch…”

“I do not know…”

Veronica, who was silent for a moment, slowly turned her head. And, after making eye contact with Lucille’s staring eyes, she smiled.

“I think there are at least more than the princess. Anyway, it’s been a long time since we’ve been friends.”

“…….”

Lucille pursed her lips and finally closed her eyes, probably giving up on the idea of saying more. Then she brought her face to Lukendy’s fur, and only then did Veronica turn her head to the night sky with a proud look on her face.

“Because it’s like this, it reminds me of the old days. It was when the warrior party fought the demon king’s subordinates, right? I remember fighting the enemy of the church with me at that time.”

It was probably around chapter 7. It was time to fight one of the Demon King’s subordinates, the Earl of Discord.

The Earl of Discord is a guy who specializes in attacks that make the connection fail as the affinity between party members is low, and at that time, the possibility of party collapse was rather high if I joined.

That’s why I had no choice but to drop out of that boss fight, and then I dealt with other things with Veronica.

“It was great then.”

“Is it?”

Well, at that time, I was able to feel a little more at ease. Because I was able to focus on other achievements other than the main story.

“Even though you’ve been sold elsewhere.”

“I couldn’t help but do it.”

“To have moved so far for the warriors’ party. I was a little surprised. I wondered why they were so important. To be honest, they are…”

Anyway, from my point of view, the warrior’s party was literally just a child who was put on the water’s edge.

It was a party without a healer and lacking in attack power, so if I went wrong, it would be game over, and in the end, I had no choice but to make a deal with Veronica for that cover.

“If you had come under me, that deal could have continued.”

The deal with Veronica was simple. If I help her with her work, I will provide holy relics, holy water, and potions to the warrior party.

Anyway, that’s how I caught the Count of Discord, and I was able to continue the main story.

“It’s okay. It’s in the past.”

“You don’t regret it?”

“what?”

“For helping Claire…”

“Not at all.”

I took another sip of the tea, and she looked at me until my side of the head stung, then gave a small smile.

“But. Well… I’m glad you got away from them even now. You’d be even happier if you came under me. Sometimes I think. If you’re under me… I think you might be happier if you’re under my protection.”

I took another sip of my tea in the darkness where I could only hear the cries of insects. The light of the bonfire crackling swayed in the wind.

While the silence continued, Veronica broke the silence with a single word.

“He’s an expensive man.”

“I’m the only sage in the world, so will it be cheap?”

I snorted, and then Veronica gave a small chuckle.

“It certainly isn’t easy to obtain something precious. It’s the same with following the light. It may seem impossible at first glance, but if you persevere, you can reach the light.”

“Is that so?”

“So it’s a little more reassuring.”

Round and round, Veronica, who was lying down, stared at me with her face down and smiled brightly.

“Because no one can touch you outside of Claire’s party.”

The next morning I turned the moonlight into a trumpet.

-Bah~ bap bar bar~ bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar~! Papa papa~! Bara bara bara bara~! Bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar

After all, the weather trumpet is the best. When I blew the wake-up trumpet that was familiar to me, the fallen guys stumbled to their feet one by one.

“Ugh… is it morning already?”

“I’ve prepared breakfast, so eat it first. After eating, wash up at the stream over there.”

Today’s breakfast is pancakes, fried eggs, grilled bacon and soup. I put the dishes I made on the prepared bowl, and then the people who were fidgeting gathered.

“I’m feeling a little better so I don’t feel like I’ve grown up…”

“Hey. Sage. Princess, it looks like you haven’t woken up yet?”

Lukendi pointed to Lucille, who was hugging him tightly. As Lukendi pondered over whether to shake her from sleep, I stroked Lucille’s head.

“Princess. It’s time to wake up.”

“Oooh…”

After whispering in her ear, Lucille slowly opened her eyes. She stared blankly at me, perhaps still in a daze, and smiled awkwardly in the morning sunlight.

“Good morning… that’s it. I wish every morning was like this…”

“I’ve prepared a meal, so let’s eat it.”

“yes…”

I was worried because it was my first overnight stay, but it didn’t seem to be a big problem. When she yawned cutely and sat down, I woke up Veronica, who was asleep as if she had passed out.

“wake up.”

“Um… Is it morning already?”

“Yes. But don’t you pray in the morning?”

“Whoops. It’s okay to skip morning prayers when you’re around Cardinal.”

“Wow. Such a rogue cleric…”

Stretching lightly, she also goes around the campfire and starts eating. After such a simple breakfast, when the wash was over, we moved right away, and it wasn’t until around afternoon that we were able to arrive near the snowy dungeon.

“It’s good that there’s no battle. Then wise man. We’ll camp on this side and wait.”

“Yes. Please do me a favor.”

The Lizardmen and the Lions began to pitch camps in cooperation. As the adventurers waited in the gin near the dungeon with their weapons, Lucille grabbed her staff tightly.

“Master. Is it okay…?”

Lucille, who was going to a dungeon for the first time, seemed quite nervous. Glancing at the hardened woman, Veronica said calmly after checking her mace.

“If you’re scared, you fall out.”

“…It’s not scary. Master is here.”

“…huh.”

“Gee. I’m not saying you two should be friends, but don’t get into trouble.”

“Heh. How many things have we done together? Do I look like someone who will cause trouble?”

“I have no intention of fighting. Do you not believe in Master’s one and only disciple?”

The beauty and the pretty girl are staring at me. Looking at the two pairs of eyes alternately, I shook my head.

“I’m trusting you.”

Of course, I forgot to prepare just in case.

“Yes.”

“…You always…”

“What. Why. What.”

Averting my eyes from the slightly reddened two, I recalled how to clear the Dungeon of Darkness.

When you enter the dungeon of harsh snow, cold is applied as a debuff. If you cannot use worm magic, your movement speed and attack speed will continuously decrease and your physical strength will decrease.

The enemies that appear are Ice Wolves and Ice Elementals.

And the crystals of the snowstorm.

Most of them have fire as their weakness, so Lucille has to fight them properly.

Also, if you want to use a mage as your main dealer, a avant-garde is a must.

“Five.”

I changed the moonlight into a two-handed sword. When a huge sword that emits strong light was created, Veronica looked at my moonlight as if in surprise, and Lucille’s eyes twinkled.

“cool…”

Certainly Moonlight looks cool with a two-handed sword.

“Master… really… oh, no. He… was just talking to himself. Let’s go. I’m ready.”

“Yes. Then let’s go in. Veronica. I’ll ask you to recover.”

“Leave it to me.”

Holding a two-handed sword means taking on the role of a warrior. As an experienced Veronica, she knows her role in the basic party of warriors, priests, and wizards.

“Then go.”

I immediately stepped into the snowy dungeon, and the moment I entered, a chill began to swarm.

“Worm.”

The chill disappears around me. When I was ready to attack the rumored dungeon, monsters began to appear around me as if I had been waiting.

-Krrrrr…

-Wheeying!

Encounter the enemy as soon as you enter. this is so…

Anyway, for now I’m a tanker so I’ll have to act like a tanker.

-Kwaaang!!

I strongly swung the moonlight and threw the sword wind, a warrior’s skill. As soon as the attention of those who were hit directly by the half-moon sword wind was drawn to me, I immediately used another skill, the clown’s powerful provocation.

“Do you know what happens when the king falls?! King Kong! Knock-knock-knock! Aww, it’s a pear! Bonus humor here! What animal does a cat hate the most?! It’s a meerkat! Aww! Oops! One more here…”

-Kurrr aaa!!!

The provocation, ‘Cold Joke’, was very successful.

To the point where even Lucille and Veronica look tired.
