Expedition (2)

“Ex, expedition?”

For Amelia a sound like a bolt from the blue sky.

Peaceful days were continuing except the bothersome of going out to the training ground and doing walking exercise every day.

Suddenly an expedition.

“Yes, Amelia. The time for you to go on an expedition has come.”

“H, but saintess Frecia, I am still very in, insufficient to do an expedition.”

“In my eyes sufficient. Have a bit more confidence in yourself.”

“May I interject for a moment?”

“Please speak, paladin Paulen.”

“Did a monster of the level that next saintess Amelia-nim personally steps forward appear?”

Expedition.

That means nuns or clergy wandering various areas for training.

Saintess Frecia also left on an expedition once, but that was training and at the same time a journey for subjugating the black dragon the calamity.

Frecia denied Paulen’s just in case worry with a gentle smile.

“Not that. Just thought the time for Amelia to wander various places and train has come. Doesn’t paladin Paulen also think Amelia needs more meetings?”

“Agree to those words.”

“Paulen!?”

“As a saintess have to become familiar with meeting many people.”

“That is... but.”

Amelia could not properly refute and lowered the head.

‘Wait no matter how much expedition cannot necessarily say far.’

Low self-esteem Amelia but that did not mean always thinking negatively.

‘Yes! Even if expedition would not go too far! No way the next saintess me is away from the Holy City, above all there is Buduri!’

“Saintess Frecia, where do I go for the expedition?”

“Not decided.”

“Yes?”

“Go in the direction Amelia wants to go. And when thinking grew yourself return.”

“Th, that cannot be...!”

The second bolt from the blue sky words struck toward Amelia.

The words of leaving without a destination are words but above all return when thinking grew yourself.

For low self-esteem Amelia growing herself was a difficult thing to imagine.

When Amelia opened the mouth wide and was astonished.

The viewers cheered at Frecia’s words.

▶Travel!

▶Finally escaping the boring Holy City.

▶Sparring content got tired.

▶Also boring because not extremely flashy food like the place the human who called Alexandros the 2nd lives ㅇㅇ.

[Just Ram and See]▶Yes! Have to go out to confirm became stronger! Too bland against that human!

[Yarn Lady]▶The appearance of Squishy-nim getting excited already comes to mind~.

[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Hehe, will see various scenery.

Did not understand what the expedition is for, but at least immediately understood to go far to another place.

The viewers who rejoiced that tentacle muscle training and sparring with Paulen is new content, but seeing every day the heart of wanting something new could not be helped.

“But saintess Frecia! Even if I was selected as the next saintess... can such me grow more?”

“I think that thought itself is wrong, Amelia. You will inherit my place... no. Already a proper saintess from the moment god decided.”

“Ugh.”

Frecia’s words are moving but still Amelia could not understand that.

Then Paulen said to Frecia again.

“Saintess Frecia. Presumptuous but saintess Amelia is improving day by day. However strict on herself so just not acknowledging that.”

“P, Paulen?”

“Is that word really?”

“Yes. So rather than an aimless expedition please set a destination. Surely if Amelia-nim can achieve large growth with just that.”

‘Really believing in Amelia, paladin Paulen.’

Frecia made a benevolent smile and nodded.

“Understood. Then...”

Frecia pondered for a moment, then said the destination to Amelia.

“Stay at the Magic Tower for a month and extend the hand of help.”

“The Magic Tower? There is...”

The Magic Tower.

That place was the headquarters of mages and a place that fosters numerous mages.

Learning magic does not have to be the Magic Tower, but to the extent there is a saying that to become a greater mage have to head to the Magic Tower.

That much the Magic Tower was a symbolic place for mages.

“In the Magic Tower there are many people who have high insight yet full of numerous challenging spirits.”

Means there are many who do this experiment that experiment overflowing with curiosity.

“In that process there are also many who need god’s words and hand.”

Means there are many who go crazy in spirit or get hurt from fatigue or accident while experimenting.

“There are also many individualistic people so surely will help Amelia’s growth.”

Means there are also many eccentrics so if looking Amelia’s self-esteem might rise.

“So head to the Magic Tower together with paladin Paulen, and Buduri, Amelia.”

“Understood, saintess Frecia.”

At the words much better than at first Amelia could not refuse.

+++

Inside the forest with trees sparsely.

The Godric Party and Nellin were facing orcs.

“Hey! Went there!”

“L, leave it! Haap!”

The orc that changed direction by Sgol’s check.

Def did not miss that gap and swung the two-handed axe toward the orc’s neck.

Slice!

With just one strike the orc’s neck cleanly separated from the body and fell to the ground.

“Good!”

“Di, did it!”

Around when Sgol and Def rejoiced.

A bit away Godric was facing an orc alone.

-Kuo oo!

The orc that lets out a roar of anger swung the club held in the hand toward Godric.

‘Compared to big sister Marin much slower!’

An attack that if before would have avoided with exaggerated movement while tense.

But now having leeway and avoiding the club with only minimal movement.

“Heup!”

Chaaak!

-Kueeer!

Did not miss the opening and accurately cut the orc’s neck.

The orc whose neck was half cut spouted a large amount of blood and collapsed as is.

And in another place.

“Aim well. If missing will scold.”

“Hehe, will show my skill.”

In the situation Nellin is watching Hawein was aiming at the loitering orc with a bow.

A short while after the bowstring was pulled.

Pyuk!

The arrow flew cutting the wind and penetrated the orc’s neck.

-Keuot!

The orc grasped own neck and collapsed as is.

“Hut, excellent bow skill.”

Taak!

“Ack!”

Hawein immersed in own skill that collapsed the orc in one shot.

Nellin fed a knuckle on such Hawein’s head.

“Did I say aim at the head, did I say aim at the neck.”

“If can collapse in one shot any part does not matter, big sister Marin?”

“Where talking back.”

“Ugh, as expected if only related to bow old-fashioned...”

Taak!

“Ack!”

Hawein squatted and covered the head at the increased pain hitting the same place again.

“Kekek, hey! Got hit again while adding words to big sister Marin?”

“Sgol, you, let’s not laugh too much.”

“Have to laugh! Got hit while adding words trying to look cool!”

“Hawein, no matter how bored don’t pick on big sister’s words uselessly. Only your head hurts.”

The remaining group that caught orcs in other places returned beside Hawein and Nellin.

“Caught well?”

At Nellin’s question the 3 smiled confidently and said.

“Of course! Orcs are not our opponents now!”

“Hehe, easier to catch because big sister Marin taught.”

“Surely if only us could not become this strong.”

“Speaking prettily. Hey, Hawein. How many orcs to catch now?”

“Huhut, have to catch 4 more.”

“Yes? 4.”

Nellin took out the bow carried on the back.

And in turn took out arrows one by one from the quiver, then Nellin changed the body’s direction and shot arrows.

Pyung! Pyung! Pyung! Pyung!

Nellin who carried the bow on the back again said to the Godric group.

“Go and bring the evidence.”

““Yes, big sister Marin!””

The Godric group had no doubt and each moved toward the direction the arrow flew.

A short while later.

The Godric group discovered the orcs collapsed with heads pierced by arrows in each direction advanced and cut a part of the body the subjugation evidence and returned.

“Hehe, still big sister Marin’s bow skill is divine.”

“A, amazing!”

At Hawein and Def’s praise Nellin rubbed under the nose with the index finger.

“How many years my bow career. This much is basic.”

“I also saw elves several times but never saw one with bow skill like big sister Marin.”

“On earth how old to eat to become so...”

Taak!

Nellin fed a knuckle on Sgol’s head.

“Aak!”

“Not guessing a woman’s age.”

“If elf doesn’t care about age!”

“Who said such nonsense? Even our grandma becomes extremely petty if mentioning age.”

“Who is grandma?”

“Our village elder.”

“Even the elf elder cares about age...”

“Puhut, whether elf or human the worries are the same.”

“Of course.”

The group that finished subjugating all orcs returned to the city again.

“Yes, confirmed the spoils. With this Marin-nim became able to take the C rank promotion test.”

“Good! Finally promoting!”

Nellin revealed teeth and smiled.

The process until now was not difficult and not that boring training the Godric Party, but wanted to raise the rank quickly.

“Congratulations, big sister Marin!”

“Hahaha! You guys also worked hard together. Would have been bothersome.”

“Hehe, if bothersome even this while receiving training shameless.”

“This kid! Occasionally knows how to say pretty words! Ah, still will do training today without missing.”

“Big sister Marin, a, after training ends eat something delicious! As commemoration!”

“Def! Good thought!”

When Nellin was sharing congratulations with Sgol, Hawein, Def, Godric asked the receptionist as usual.

“Hey, by any chance still no news or something?”

Talk about whether there is new news about the slime.

“Sorry, still no particular news.”

“Yes...”

Several weeks passed since meeting Nellin, but the talk toward the slime had not yet spread to the Godric Party.

The time when the slime is in the Holy City in terms of timing.

Inside the Great Church the slime had revealed appearance in front of people several times.

But the believers did not actively spread that there is a slime inside the Great Church.

Not only cannot exactly know why the next saintess Amelia takes the slime around, but the talk of a monster being inside the Great Church is reluctant to spread easily.

Also even if there is one who saw the flyer in the adventurer guild inside the Holy City, even more difficult to think that the rare and peculiar slime on the flyer is the slime the saintess is taking.

Because difficult to think the saintess stole the slime someone is raising.

The Godric Party and Nellin who finished training as usual, and ate a more luxurious meal than usual spending a bit more money as planned.

‘Shall slowly bring out words.’

Nellin spat the words thought while training the Godric Party.

“Hey. If I promote don’t you guys think of wandering a bit together with me?”

““Yes?””
