Chapter 79 : Road to Laserna ・ Day 1

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

"This time we're leaving from the south gate, right?"

"Yes, because Laserna is located south from Pedrell."

There were four gates in Pedrell. Each of them was located according to four cardinal directions. East, west, south and north. The forest where I had fallen into Alsar and collected lulu grass was located on the east.

We used the North Gate to go to Calhea and this time we were going to use the South Gate. With this, the only gate I had never used would be the West Gate.

"We can't go into our formation while we are still in the city but after we've passed the gate, please stand guard around the Madam's carriage."

Mel-san, who was also riding on a magical horse nearby us, said. Just like what we had discussed yesterday, the four of us would be mainly guarding Francesca-san's carriage.

Well... Judging from yesterday's mock battles, it'd be better if the three of them to be focused on guarding Francesca-san, the most important person in this group.

"Understood~ Leave it to us~ After this, we just need to go into our formation, right?~"

"Yeah... I figured it'd be for the best to leave it to you guys. Sig-dono might not like it but..."

Mel-san said while throwing an apologetic look toward Sig-san. As I thought, Sig-san's dislike of Francesca-san must be plain obvious to everyone but Francesca-san herself...

"A job is a job so don't worry about it and just leave it to us."

Sig-san said reassuringly as he threw a fleeting glance back at Mel-san. True. There would be a problem later on if we cut corners here after all. Despite his dislike, Sig-san will still do his job properly.

"Ren, as soon as we left the gate, could you cast [Magic Barrier] that could hold on for five days to all of us?"

Then Sig-san looked at my direction and asked me for a barrier.

"Ah, yes. I think I can cast it for everyone including Sig-san and the others but... I've never done it before so I'm not really confident I can. But if it's just for the four of us including William and the others, I'm confident I can pull it off."

[Magic Barrier] didn't consume much magic power so the burden on me wouldn't be that great. To top it off, I had a lot of magical power too so I was sure there wouldn't be any problem if I just had to cast it for the four of us including William and the others.

As for extending it toward the rest of the guard team along with an additional eight people we had to escort and their horses, I think... I could pull it off but I've never casted it for that many people before so I couldn't say I was confident I could pull it off....

If only we could see our MP just like in the game, everything would be so much easier....

"Then please cast it only for the four of us including our horses. I'd like Ren-kun to keep your magic power on reserve as much as possible since it'd be terrible if you were to run out of magic power in the middle of our journey..."

Fer-san said while hugging me from behind.

I do agree it'd be better to conserve my magic power as much as possible since we couldn't know how much MP we have for sure in this world....

"I understand. Is that fine with you too, Sig-san?"

Since Sig-san was the first person that mentioned me to cast the barrier, I asked him for confirmation.
