Chapter 102: Pushing Herself

Chapter 102: Pushing Herself

Having arrived leading the reinforcements for the mercenary company, The White Fang, a warband under the tutelage of Anastasia Hoshin, Julius (whom for some reason preferred to be referred to as "Juli" for this excursion) met with those who were gathered nearby.

Commencing with some light banter with Subaru, it seemed to YN that the Knight's opinion of the self proclaimed variety had changed quite literally, overnight.

It must be due to Subaru organizing and helping to slay the Whale... It seemed to earn him a lot of credibility from Crusch, so I guess it's not a large stretch of the imagination.

But as he left to regroup and assist with the aftermath of the battle, Rem too, was called away for higher purposes.

I gave Rem a good bit of my mana... But she still seemed exhausted...

Knowing the blue haired oni possessed healing magic, Felix had asked for her assistance in healing and treating the wounded. While any injury on site could be easily handled by the best healer in the kingdom, Felix Argyle the Blue, it was time he was most worried about. If Rem could attend to the less serious ones before things like infection or worse set in, it would free him up to work on more serious cases.

And with much needed supply and know-how of what to do in a post-battle scenario, Crusch had called Juli and the rest of the White Fang to assist where they could.

This of course meant that Subaru and YN were left with nothing to do but sit around with their thumbs up their—

Subaru: —Ass. I can't believe he thinks he can stroll in here like nothing ever happened.

Still reserved about Julius' presence, Subaru kicked the loose dirt that had been stirred up by some sort of magical impact from the battle. Having informed YN of what had occurred in the fight, and leading up to it with how he'd managed to gather the forces here, YN was impressed.

YN: Well, think about it this way, Crusch basically gave you free reign on bossing him around later.

Summarizing what Crusch had offered them, they each hoped it would be sufficient in thwarting the Witch Cult attack.

Subaru: We don't know yet if 'half of the remaining forces' means him though. I sure hope it doesn't...

Sour still, YN knew Subaru was going to be thick skinned about this to the bitter end.

But in their silence between words now, a faint, white light made its introductions to Subaru.

Subaru: Whaa—! What the hell?!

Trying to swat it away like a bug, Subaru was unable to match the agility of the spec of white light that danced around him.

YN: Oh, hey, perfect timing.

Subaru: Huh?

Stopping his freak out, Subaru was halfway through bringing his own hand down on his forearm, not unlike he was about to slap a mosquito.

Taking a closer look at the spec, Subaru could recognize what it was.

Subaru: Is... that what I think it is?

As YN held his hand out like a perch, the spirit retreated to his palm.

YN: A spirit? Yeah... It's news to me too. Subaru, this is Algol. Algol, Subaru.

Dancing back over to Subaru, the spirit ran a few laps around his black hair before retreating out of sight again like it had earlier, somewhere behind YN.
