Chapter 82 : Attack

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

"【Clean】Fuuh... Being inside a tent feels a lot cooler than being outside."

"You're right... I wish the air outside could feel this cool..."

After the three of them returned, I cast [Clean] all over our body before we entered the tent. The temperature inside the tent was regulated with magic hence why being inside the tent felt so much cooler compared than being outside. Only good quality tents had this temperature regulation system so I really needed to thank Malik-san for this tent.

I was sweating and sticky from the summer heat but thanks to [Clean], my body felt so refreshed. Magic was really convenient but still... I still wanted to take a bath if I could...When we've arrived at Laserna, I will definitely take a bath to my heart's content!

"Today Chris-san and Sig-san will be keeping guard but we still have another turn tomorrow, right?"

"Yup. Tomorrow Luce has two turns. The first and the last shift. Ren-chan, do you want to keep watch together with me tomorrow?~"

"No, no. Come with me instead."

So tomorrow we got two shifts... There were eight people in the guard team which made four pairs and Luce had four people which made for two pairs. We had five shifts everyday that meant there was one pair free from guard duty.

Both Sig-san and Chris-san, who were on guard duty tonight, asked me to stand guard with them but... What should I do? I didn't want to choose between them...

Ah! I haven't taught them about that yet.

"Umm... There's this simple method on how to sort people into groups that I used to do back in my old world when I was a kid but..."

"That sounds great, isn't it? If neither Sig or Chris would cave in, I was thinking of deciding it through the lottery but if there's a simpler method, please do tell us."

"I taught you guys how to play rock-paper-scissors, didn't I? It's like that but we only use rock and paper here. People who take out the same symbol will be grouped together. If there are three or four people using the same symbol, we need to start over again until we have two pairs. The chant used to start the game varies from region to region but we can use something easy to say like... 『rock, paper, split up!』I think..."

I told them I would be teaching them a simple method to make pairs. I think this game was easy enough to understand and you didn't need any tools either.

Regarding the chant, I've had always used 『rock, paper, split up!』. All the neighborhood kids I used to play with always used that chant too but the people from other cities used different chants than us. I remember watching it on the television. I was surprised since I didn't think there was another chant than the one I used. Though it was interesting to know the different chants used in other cities.

"Okay then! No hard feelings whatsoever here!"

Sig-san exclaimed.

「「「「Rock, paper, split up!」」」」

".... What the... With Fer again?~"

"I can't help it. I take that out of habit after all."

From other people's perspective, the sight of four adults sitting together inside a tent while doing another form of rock-paper-scissors to make pairs with a serious look on their face must've looked incredulous...

I took out rock and turned out Fer-san also took rock out while both Chris-san and Sig-san took paper out. Chris-san and Sig-san were frustrated with the result but since there was no underhanded trick used in this round, they couldn't ask for a do-over.
