“It’s really strange. We've been walking almost two miles but we have never met a passerby or some people.” While walking, Mareine made a comment.
“Master, shall I use ‘Fire Sight’?” Replied Sebris.
“It is to be expected.” Staz said. “I pre assumed the house was located far east of this country.
So we are placed at the most side part of the country where dense forest or uncivilized places can be found.
And walking to the city, that is why we're heading to the north part. It will take about months to reach the center.
Tsk. Why did you suddenly get placed in this country anyway? This is a nutshit.”
Haruke made a fierce glare with his statement but later on got subsided by Mareine’s understanding.
‘Huh????! Months? Did he just say that and even with s? This is insane! I don't wanna walk for the rest of my life!’ Mareine’s complexion doesn't seem to be alright.
“Master, pale. Are you okay?” Concerned, Haruke asked, offering a jug of water.
“N-no, I'm alright. Thank you...” Mareine responded bitterly. ‘Where did you even got that wooden jug??’ Is what she tried to express looking at Haruke
Having these kinds of depressing thoughts while walking, Mareine was tired out easily.
One of the reasons, after all, was that she has a small body. In short, small legs.
‘I wanna ride a pegasus and just fly by the sky...’ Is what is circling inside her head. But she cannot do it.
Released with over three puppets, her skill would fail if she summoned the Pegasus that was associated with ‘Chamuel’ since only one ultimate skill can work at once. She realized this too when she was at the battle of the Electric PseudoChristos Witch.
According to her theory, there will be a delay of about three seconds if you use a different ultimate skill. When she used ‘Chamuel’ that time, Lucifer was disabled for two seconds and the dress she was wearing did start to dissipate.
And if more puppets were present, a huge amount of mana will be consumed in the next skill or a lethal damage of pain will come to her that not even ‘Peace Alleviation’ can purify.
Now, as they walked in this uninhabitable land mass, three puppets were present. That is, Sebris, Haruke, and Staz.
The gigantic slime was forced to go back inside her ‘World Of Puppets’ due to huge mana consumption and so did the twin dolls.
Recently, Mareine was not summoning the twin dolls of the zodiac. It was due to the fact that it would disappear if the mana got depleted and the cooldown was too long for her, so she didn't summon it. Perhaps if there is an emergency then she will.
Panting hardly as she walks now, “We’ll rest for a bit.” She suggested.
“Understood, master.” Haruke and Sebris seconded.
“Dusk is coming in the next hours.” Staz said, feeling empathetic then later he explained. “It would be safe if we just go ahead of our walk until we find a vacant space, not this crowded tree you suggested to rest.”
Staz made the right point. If they build a camp inside the danger zone crowded with trees, then it would be hard for them since Red wolves and boars will show up when the night comes.
“It is our master’s command, how dare you disobey.” Sebris and Haruke made a deadly glare at him.
“You are right.” Mareine replied with a bitter face. “Then we should probably go ahead in search for a better place to build our shelter.”
Mareine then walked ahead of them.
“What’re you waiting for? Hurry up everyone!”
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
“tsk. Now she's energetic?”
Twilight comes, they finally find a better vacant place. There, they set up their camp and things.
They weren't carrying many things, just a backpack with their essential needs, but a camping tent for shelter was built. It came from Mareine’s ‘World of Puppets’
Two tents were placed. The first tent was for Sebris and Mareine, and the second one was for Staz and Haruke.
Everything was all set, Haruke cut a tree and got a log then placed it on the ground. Now, it looks like a place for a campfire.
Mareine took a seat, and when Sebris saw that, she also took a seat beside her.
So, everyone took a set on the log of tree Haruke cutted.
With fire lightning and sizzling in front of them, the sun finally went to the other side and the night came.
“I hope there won't be bandits here or some barbarian that will attack us.” Kind of anxious, Mareine said while holding a piece of meat towards the fire.
Fire and heat doesn't work on her, so she has no problem touching the fire as she waits for the meat to be fully cooked.
“Worry not. I will protect master.” Haruke rest assured followed by Sebris’ nods.
Just then, Mareine suddenly stopped her movement like a frozen person.
«Are you doing well, puppeteer?»
A serene tone of voice reverberated inside her mind. And because it's serene, only one thing came out to her.
