Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 39: Now, let's depart!

As a result of our discussion, its been scheduled that were going to spend ten days on this request. Two days going there, then about five days for the investigation proper while leaving an extra day just to be sure. At first, we decided to go for seven days, but this time we have one from Grim, three from Fyne and me, having overall five Mages that can all use Storage Spells. In short, since we can bring in quite a lot of food supplies, were able to have a lot more flexibility with our schedule.

Regarding the reward, its split between the three parties, not between the participants. Since Urania and I were the only members of our party, we were a bit hesitant to accept it, but both Grim and Fyne didnt seem to have any complaints about the division, only saying Being partial on the newbies is just natural, so dont think too much about it and just take it. Though instead, its been decided that Ill be practicing Magecraft with the members of Fyne in the next mock battle-???-exchange party. That in itself is no problem, but Im going to have to be careful that they dont notice that what Im really using Magic.

And with that, this times request will be a collaborative effort of the three of our parties. Do you need reconfirmation on the request details? Not really~ I guess~ No problems here, too.

Since this time the three of our parties are teamed together, it looks like Grimhart will be leading us to some extent. Just like what we were told during the mock battle, even if its just temporary or so, in the meantime theres a need to put someone as the leader.

By the way, I hear that Grim and Fyne occasionally accept requests together, and it seems that during those times Girmhart is usually the one chosen to be the leader. Well, Fynes leader is as leisurely as she looks, so if youre asking for someone that can make prompt decisions, Grimhart is probably the more suitable one.

Urania! Dont move out too much! Look closely at Jarvis and Jessicas movements! Lil~y, right now we need to focus more on attack than defense~. Ma~tch up with Emily and Arisa, okay~

Two days after exiting the Eastern gate, were fighting against a pack of Growleus. Though I called it a pack, theres only about eight of them. We have twelve people all in all, so theres absolutely no problem if we fight them normally, but were fighting with only certain members to check our coordination.

Without regarding Grim and Fyne, our coordination is pretty sloppy, so right now were studying under either Grimhart or Audreys instruction.

The ones currently fighting in front are Urania, Jarvis, and Jessica, with me, Emily, and Arisa in the rear, six people altogether. And further behind us are Grimhart and Audrey giving instructions to us. Speaking about the Growleus, being about Rank C as a threat, its higher ranked than our party, but it seems that they dont really pose a problem to the other two parties. Still, they did say that itll be a bit difficult if theres more than ten of them.

By the way, the other members are preparing for lunch. They say that we can only eat delicious food during the first two days so we should prepare ourselves and stuff, but the meat and vegetables in my storage are forever fresh, so let alone ten days, we can make delicious food not only after a year but even ten.

I ask. For the flame that eliminates impure ones. Burn

In the end, Emily and my chants overlap, oh, and Arisas while were at it. Immediately after that, two of the eight Growleus blazed up and three of them die after having holes drilled between their brows. Seeing the sudden decrease of enemies as an opportunity, both Jarvis and Jessica pin down one Growleu each. Urania, who is now fighting one-on-one, slits the Growleus neck.

The remaining ones that were being pinned down by the other two were similarly ended by Urania since shes now able to move freely.

Woah Whats with that Magic Power Control. Although theres not even a single burn mark other than the hole on their foreheads, the insides are completely burned off I really thought Im better when it comes to Fire Spells, though No, first of all, with your sloppy Magecraft, its impossible, you know?

Emily and Arisa closely examined the Growleu I pierced with Burn. Having something you have done being examined so seriously feels really embarrassing.

What I did was extremely simple. Controlling the magical flame produced by Burn into a compact size, I burned off only the Growleus brain. As a result, I can now use it in rapid-fire mode, but since the firepower itself drops, it has its pros and cons.

By the way, the Magic I used in front of the Guild staff Philip was this exact same Burn. Magecraft requires chanting, but naturally, because of the chant, your opponent can guess the spell youre about to use. To prevent that, it seems that each Mage thinks of their own ways of shortening or changing the chants and stuff. It looks like some even prepare Magic Circles in advance to take over the role of the chant itself.

Hearing that, I made up a Magic Circle with the Spell Burn built into it. Specifically speaking, I made a ring with that Magic Circle engraved on it. With this, as long as I point my finger to a target and say Burn, I can invoke the Spell Burn.

Of course, since what I use is Magic, I can invoke it even without doing that, but I still made sure that will invoke practically the same Spell if its actually used by other people. I was a bit uneasy on whether I could make it with Dream Fabrication, but since there wasnt really any complicated mechanisms needed and such, it was a lot easier than I expected.

Nevertheless, its the first time I ever saw a Magical Tool this small. Is it from some Dungeon? No, I made it myself Ehh!? You made this. If you sell this how many thousands No, ten thousands. Y-youll get super rich, you know!?

Arisa overreacted a bit, but a Magical Tool of this level is something you can see just about anywhere, right? After all, if you think about it, this is just about the level of a nice lighter. Besides, its something I made with Dream Fabrication so if it gets even just a bit of a scratch, itll end up coming apart like fleeting dream. Itll be different if it leaves some remains, but putting it for sale as it is now is really scary so I cant.

The main point of this practice is our coordination, you know? Ehh~ Isnt doing this about good enough?

Though I thought that the second half was already good, but it seems like its still not good enough for Grimhart. Good grief, what a strict senior I have. Itd be really nice if we can get good enough to satisfy Grimharts standards within these ten days, though.
