After a few seconds, Ghilerie turns a bit more conscious of her actions but tries her best to back away naturally, with a visible blush covering her fair cheeks. Still, with a wide smile, she keeps staring at me.
"I don't know how I will be able to pay you back," she says.
I smile back at her. "Just whisper a good word or two about me to your friends and we'll be even."
She chuckles and shakes her head. "I was already going to do that. Anyway, I'll definitely think of something. I really appreciate your help. And yours too."
Ghilerie glances at the rest of the squad and makes a small bow. I turn around to face them.
"I assume everyone is on board?" I ask.
"Do you even have to ask, Sensei?" Shino trots closer and looks at me adorably from below.
Marcia slaps Kamil's head from the back. "This guy needs to beef up so duh. Unless your powers started working on guys and he changed his preferences after you took a dip together."
"Fuck you," Kamil retorts and slaps the redhead on the ass, causing Marcia to giggle.
While Natalie sighs and shakes her head, Paul acts as if nothing is happening. Just your typical day in the Hero party. A small smile paints Teffith's lips as she observes them.
"Alright. First, the situation here seems pretty dire. We'll help you bring whatever you might need from the settlement. Before that, though, I don't mind sharing some of my own supplies. Not sure about the others." I glance at the rest again.
"We should be fine halving ours," Paul answers. "How are we doing in that regard, Shino?"
The samurai girl closes her eyes for a brief moment and dives into her storage ring.
"Won't be a problem, Paul-san. We'll still have enough for a month or so before we'd need to restock."
"Good. That should do it." He nods.
The Elf Elder steps a bit closer with a slightly perplexed expression.
"Are you really going to share your own provisions with us?"
Ghilerie smiles at her softly. "They are not bad Humans, Elder. Please, lead us to the storage."
The woman nods and guides us through the caverns. We walk as a group. It's better to stay together than to split considering the fact that we are inside an elven refugee camp. I'm pretty sure not everyone is as understanding as the Elder and we didn't come here to spark a conflict.
As we pass through a few stone chambers, we notice quite a number of wounded and sick people. I take a peek behind me.
"Natalie?"
"I don't mind," the quiet bard answers immediately.
The Elder looks at us curiously and I explain. "She's proficient in Healing Magic and I have my means too. After we drop some supplies, take us to your most heavily wounded. We can at least help stabilize them and distribute some potions."
"You are even going to give away your medicine?" She raises her brows at me.
"Sensei's wives and friends made a lot for him so we can spare some," Shino answers before I do.
Right. The girls insisted we take a ton of different healing salves, bandages, potions, and all the other useful stuff for our journey. It wouldn't be an over-exaggeration to say that half of my taken storage space is meds and healing items.
We soon arrive in what looks like a makeshift underground warehouse. Shino and I nod at each other and we start bringing out stuff from our massive storage rings.
