Chapter 126 Heart Pounding Vacation ⑤?

Part 2

“Water…… It’s water. We’re, still alive. We surviveddd……!”

I can’t remember whether it was Black or White, but the escort that Sytry hired headed for the lake with steps that looked like they were about to collapse at any moment.

The other two also sat down the moment they reached the lakeside.

Driving the carriage and keeping watch all this time, thank you for your hard work…… I will try to persuade Sytry, so please keep it up a little bit longer.

I take a deep breath while gnawing at the feeling of touching an unshakable ground for the first time in several hours.

The lake at our destination was crystal clear and chilly, it was perfect for camping. It would probably have been a popular spot if it had been near human civilization. There was no one else around and the thought of having this scene all to myself made me feel very extravagant.

.

In a distance, I could see both large and small animals drinking water. Neither Monsters, nor animals were fighting, you could find peace and harmony over there. Yesterday’s commotion seemed like a lie.

Beyond the horizon, I could clearly see the mountain which we had climbed down yesterday, the Garest Mountains. Because we were quite far, I couldn’t tell how the fight between the 『Lost Giant Demon』 and the Monsters ended up, but if rampagings Monsters were headed our way, we would immediately know it.

Liz joyfully shouted, threw down her luggage and started to undress.

As if I was looking at a painting, Liz’s healthy limbs glistened in the sunlight.

“Yataaa, look, look, Cry-chan, it is so clearrr! I’m going to take a dip! Come on, Ti, you are coming too!”

“Onee-sama!? You can’t do that in front of Master!”

The disciple blushed and rushed to stop her Master, but to no avail, Liz instantly striped down to her underwear and jumped into the lake with a huge splash. It is dangerous if you don’t do some preparatory exercise……

Tino turned her line of sight to me, so I gave her a small nod.

Liz doesn’t possess enough shyness, but if you are shaken over a party member only wearing their underwear, you can’t become a Hunter. I was rather shaken at first, but before I knew it, I had gotten used to it.

Tino hesitated for a moment, but then while her face turned bright red, she touched the button around her neck.

“Master, after all, I can’t do itttttttttttttt!”

Just like this, she jumped straight into the lake with great force…… You could at least take off your shoes and belt.

Sytry laughed while muffling her voice.

“How should I say… It is so typical of Ti-chan, but…… Even though her Thief equipment emphasized lightness and directly exposed her bodyline, she still possessed some sense of shame.”

Now that you said it, Thieves’ outfit, like Liz’s and Tino’s, are the exact opposite of Alchemists who are always wearing thick robes.

It was probably made so they can avoid attacks at the very last minute. How to wear those clothes was a mystery for so many years.

And I hope that Tino will forever never forget her sense of shame.

Sytry quickly set up the camp on the behalf of Black-san and his friends, who were too exhausted. She let the horses rest, fed them and made fire.

“Ah right, Cry-san. It is about the campfire, but how about something like this? Turning it like this toward the mountain ――”

“…… This is……?”

It was a strange shape. Not only was it a strange shape, it was also divided into three parts.

Dot, dot, curve ―― A face?

Sytry put her hands together and said with a smile.

“It is a smile! It will be a bit of work, but…… How is it?”

Preparing a campfire is quite a challenge. The time and effort required to make this shape is not just three times the time and effort to do it.

Aren’t you a bit too playful…… Who is even going to see the smile? Well, I don’t have a reason to categorically refuse it……

“Un, un, I think it is fine. It looks fun.”

“I think tonight will be the big climax, so…… I am going to do my best and cook us a feast to enjoy. Let’s enjoy it loud enough, so the whole mountain could hear us.”

What kind of climax are you talking about?1 I think we already crossed the climax last night though……

Just as I was about to open my mouth to check with her, Liz joyfully shouted from the lake.

“Cry-chan! A crocodile! I caught a delicious-looking crocodile! Look, look, isn’t it amazing?”

A crocodile? You said a delicious-looking crocodile, but do you count on eating a crocodile? Don’t you think there are better and more delicious-looking animals living around us!?

When I turned around, I saw Liz restraining and straddling a giant dinosaur-lookalike crocodile of over five meters long. She is way too wild.

Tino’s eyes widened and tried to stop her by shouting loudly. Black-san and his friends were startled.

I was so confused and scared that I made a disinterested comment.

“So there are crocodiles in this lake.”

Nature is full of dangers.

…… I am glad I didn’t thoughtlessly jump in. Crocodiles are impossible, way too impossible.
