18. There are no paladins in this team
"One last check, tents, kettles, cured meats, paddy...... Okay, that's fine. ”
Phyllis, who was waiting at the city gate early for the Sixteenth Night, had to help check Selica's luggage again anyway, in her words, even if it was Phyllis herself who prepared the luggage for Celica on this trip, but considering that Celica's mouth could never stop, she had to check it again before leaving to prevent Celica from eating up the snacks in her bag during this time.
"Finally, Lady Serica, this is the bread I just bought in the morning, and it will get hard quickly, so please eat it as a snack as soon as possible."
Don't get used to her so much...... Because......
"Wow! Excellent! Thank you Phyllis-chan! Celica, whose eyes lit up, immediately gave Phyllis a bear hug and grabbed the bread bag in her mouth.
This idiot...... Although what he said to her was "going out to travel + exploring", this idiot seemed to have completely ignored the word "adventure", coupled with the fact that Phyllis, who was super ~ doting on Selica, kept stuffing snacks into Celika's travel bag, which made this supposed very serious wilderness opening activity become a "outing" flavor before it even began.
After learning a lot about the situation in the mountains from the "Reborn Shopkeeper" in the tavern, first, I was worried that there would be more and more affairs in the city if the time dragged on, and secondly, I was looking for a clue about the "peerless sword protected by thunder and lightning" in the uncle's mouth, and I quickly set the time for taking Serika to the northwest mountains to "open up the wasteland" on the first weekend after the opening of the academy branch.
A little Lori like Phyllis, no matter how much she wanted to follow Selica, it would be impossible for Sixteen Nights to agree. With her physical condition, I'm afraid that she won't be able to keep up with the march of the team at that time, and this time it's to open up the wasteland, not really a "trip", and it won't be strange what kind of monsters she encounters in the mountains, as the "second-in-command" who deals with the city's internal affairs, it's better for Phyllis to stay in the city.
Of course, Sixteen Nights also wanted to go on a three-day, two-night trip with just one idiot, which is why he set the time for the Sorting Weekend holiday. As a result of the previous agreement, Sixteen Nights managed to borrow more than twenty demons from Mira who "the world is too big to see", as well as the branch dean Elune, who was going to follow him anyway.
As the goddess of mascots and trash cans, dozens of flying troops mixed with magic and martial arts, and an adult demon sister whose strength should be "passable", such a combination is more than enough to open up the wasteland.
"This time, because I took Selica to open up the wasteland together, I must do a good job of safety."
Seeing that Celica was already eating "honestly", she couldn't bear to spoil her "outing mood" and quietly pulled Phyllis aside, "After you return to the goddess realm, immediately test whether telepathy can be used normally, and then locate Celica's position from the chessboard, and if I send a retreat signal from my side, I will teleport Celica back to the realm remotely as quickly as possible." ”
The safety of the goddess is much more important than the believer's own life. Believers can be resurrected through the goddess, and when the goddess dies, the believer has to become a lonely ghost. If it weren't for Selica to "explore" this time, Sixteen Nights wouldn't have pulled this idiot on the ground anyway.
"I've reserved enough faith to prevent accidents, don't be reluctant to believe when the time comes, understand?"
Teleporting a specific person in a specific location back to a specific location, such a skill that requires delicate operations is also very terrifying, and this time the sixteen nights are full, and only the amount that can be passed back to the goddess realm is saved. As for his life and that of the demons, Sixteen Nights is really more than enough to do.
But this is enough, Selica can resurrect herself as a believer, as for other demons ...... accidents such as "natural disasters" and "bad luck", but they are not covered by insurance, and then they can only say "sorry" to Mira.
"Well, I'll stay in the realm for the next few days, so call me immediately if you're in danger."
"Very well, so that you can be foolproof." After looking at the bell tower in the Yuanyuan Branch, the afterglow of the sixteenth night also caught a glimpse of "that squad" in the city. The demon squad, whose wings and tails have all been hidden, are led by Mira's "servant", Elune, the branch dean.
In the eyes of ordinary people, I'm afraid this is just a team of students led by teachers who go out to play, but in fact, each of them is a demon who can show decent strength. The opening of the wasteland, or the "expansion of the territory", must be "stepped on step by step" by the goddess herself, so these helpers called by Sixteen Nights are actually to be able to better cover for the stupid man of Selica.
A team of more than 20 people, plus not only one team of your own team entering the mountains, should be able to minimize the danger.
"I've been waiting, Mr. Sixteen Nights."
Since "pulling Mila" before, Elune, who had always had a cold attitude, was finally able to communicate with Sixteen Nights normally.
"These are twenty clansmen selected by the master." Elune turned sideways as she spoke, even though the "children" standing behind her still had a slight childishness on their faces, but in the eyes of Sixteen Nights, they were at least better than the average human soldier.
"Ten of them are mainly cold weapons such as guns and swords, five are good at archery, and the remaining five prefer magic, elements and healing."
This...... It's such a subtle configuration, could it be that Mila's little bean is also a reborn who has played the dragon slaying copy!?
"Well, thank you. As I said before, this time it's just to 'open up the wasteland', that is, to protect Selica from exploring the borderlands. ”
Sixteen Nights said that she took Selikara to her side, this goddess who was so stupid that she didn't even have any common sense, she would do something big by herself if she wasn't careful.
"So far, this mountain has been invaded by adventurers quite a few times, so I don't think it's too dangerous if you're careful. But...... Dean Elune, you should tell them something about what I told you yesterday. ”
“…… That's not what you said when I was with you last night. ”
Feed! Don't say such subtle words! Your students are looking at it with strange eyes!
"Anyway, in short, what is the 'peerless sword' and what 'guardian' may be, please tell the students."
Powerful weapon, terrifying guardian, although it is said that this is just gossip in the tavern, but ......
Who knows if it really exists?
