My apologies for keeping y'all waiting, Septembers been a busy month for me.

That aside, enjoy the chapter!

The party continuously looked around the subterranean canopy until they found a nest, with Marcile finding it particularly difficult. Finally they found it, strewn with feathers and freshly laid basilisk eggs.

“Are they supposed to be that long?” Marcile concerned to Laios.

‘Holm's diet was taken into consideration so maybe mine won't have too much monster in it,’ Kabru hoped to himself in futility as he stared at what he'd have to be eating next.

He proceeded to handover the squishy eggs to Marcile, saying nothing of it to her before a distant and loud cry alerts both of them of what's approaching.

“It's coming!” Namari shouted telling them to run despite the fact this already happened in the past.

“The cry of the basilisk.” Laios tensed, gaining a serious expression before hurrying everyone to go before it's too late.

It's shown what or rather who the basilisk's been chasing, the party with the grill, an Elf and a tall-man, namely Fionil and Doni. The latter was suddenly slashed in the back by one of the giant chicken’s talons as Fionil watched in shock.

“Goodness, I hope they're safe now,” Said Ms. Touden in concern.

Falin looked slightly worried, guessing the basilisk's next target to be the elf sitting beside her.

Marcile whimpers fidgeting backwards, feeling cornered as she unintentionally catches the beast's attention and it hisses at her. Staring deeply at it's young being held in the elf's hand

Marcile scrambled away from the basilisk in a ridiculous fashion.
Meanwhile, from the safety of the local shrubbery, the three men of her party looked at her doing a variety of maneuvers to dodge the beast such as twirling around and falling to the ground and occasionally having her back picked by the monster's beak.

“Mm, bad escape technique.”
Laios calmly comments over the scene.

“She's just asking to be kicked in the back.”

“Would you just hurry up and save her?!” exasperated Chilchuck, who didn't appreciative Laios's unasked-for critiques.

‘If this weren't such a deadly situation plenty would've started laughing by now.’ Marcile cuffed her ears, its tips red with embarrassment.

Marcile groans as she trips over a rock, the beast soaring over her as it cried out.

Abruptly, Laios swiffs from the side.

KEE-EEEEE-ARR!

The room fills with the abrupt primal scream of one man, with the audience looking on in confusion, even Mithrun's eye twitched slightly.

‘Spread your arms and legs out wide to look huge and do a crazy yell to sound threatening! It'll freak the thing out and keep it back!’

Laios did as he thought, screaming like a bird and startling the beast.
Both Marcile and Chilchuck had iffy expressions while Fionil held the dying Doni in her arms, his face had purpled by this point.

“How about we pretend we don't know him?”

“Hmm,” was all Marcile said to the proposal.

“Did this really happen?” Shuro whispered to himself.
