AS Chapter 212 ~Replenishment Duty~

Happy Monday!

The chapters for this series will be updating until the latest chapter uploaded by the author, which is 7 chapters, including this one, on Mondays and Wednesday. After that, I will wait until there are more chapters before translating it all at once to post. While waiting, you can take a look at the novel Kojiin Tamer, which I had just finished translating, but after these 6 chapters, I will be taking a break until December. Hopefully at that time I would come back with a new novel. 

I hope you enjoy this chapter and I’ll see you on Wednesday.

「In any case, with this, you should understand that even in the sky, there’s the danger of monsters. While the princess over there was focused on the battle, if the magic power stored in the magic stone had run out, then at that time, everyone would fall down into the sea along with the ship.」

Noa started to continue what she had been saying a while ago as if the Wyvern attack had never happened. Because of that, I remembered what we had been talking about, so it was good that we didn’t have to start over, but it would be great if she would stop treating the Wyvern attack as if it were a daily occurrence. Maa, she had probably been fighting every day so that the monsters in the area would not go near the safe house that the previous heroes used.

I made a suggestion, while trying to hold back a sigh.

「If that’s the case, then wouldn’t it be fine if there was a person who fought without using much magic power? Those who need it in combat would be excluded. Just in case, exclude the two recovery personnel.」

I’d like Hosoyama and Ueno to preserve their magic power for when there were injuries, and the same thing could be said about Yoru, the hero, Kyousuke, Nanase, Tsuda, and I. In that case, the candidates would be Kurou, Noa, Zeal-san, Amaryllis, and Waki, huh. Zeal-san was also in a delicate situation, but at present,  the hero, Kyousuke, and I, even Yoru, could also be considered candidates as we had sufficient surplus battle strength. 

「Then, can I be the candidate?」

Among the five people who I glanced at, Amaryllis raised her hand.

Amaryllis, who was stubborn but rather shy and didn’t assert herself much, did something that attracted everyone’s attention, which was rare for her. Amelia and I used the Eye of the World and checked the amount of magic power that Amaryllis had.

―――――――――――――――――――

Amaryllis Cluster

Special Skill: 

Magic Eye (Appraisal)

―――――――――――――――――――

Certainly, the large amount of magic power that she had was outstanding. Perhaps it was because of the difference in levels, as she had less than the hero, but if her occupation level was the same, then wouldn’t Amaryllis be the one to have more magic power. 

From what I’ve heard, one only needed a little magic power when manufacturing medicine, and if she didn’t use the Magic Eye regularly, then she basically wouldn’t consume any magic power. The lifestyle magic using a magic stone was sufficient in boiling down the medicine in the pot, so there was surplus magic power every day.

Then, Amaryllis would be the most suitable person to help Amelia replenish the magic power.

「What, sure enough, Amaryllis has a lot of magic power, huh.」

Noa, who shouldn’t have been able to see other people’s skills, said that as if she knew those numerical values. At those words, Amaryllis looked embarrassed. Zeal-san and Kurou, Ria and Amelia seemed like they knew as well. Perhaps it was the general knowledge of this world.

『It’s an old legend. There’s a phrase that goes, ‘Those loved by magic power would be beautiful’. I thought that it was questionable, but looking at Miss Amelia and Miss Amaryllis, I’ll believe it.』

Yoru, who was on my shoulder, grumbled this.

Certainly, most of the people with a lot of magic power whom I’ve met in this world were of different types, but they were all people who were considered to be beauties. 

「Questionable, huh. Even statistically, it is certainly those who have a large amount of magic power that are blessed with a nice outward appearance. A long time ago, you would look at the face of the child who had been born and guess how much magic power they had.」

Maa, because of that, there was an increase of foolish people who would throw the children away without saying anything more about it. Noa’s brow furrowed. As a parent, it seems that she had some thoughts about it.

「A, anyhow, when Amelia-san is not able to replenish magic power during combat, Amaryllis-san would be the one to do it, so best regards.」

The conversation had deviated and the atmosphere was on the verge of becoming worse, so the hero went back to the original topic.

「There’s no problem with the issue of magic power, right? Then, Amelia and Amaryllis’ main job would be to replenish it, but wouldn’t it be better for each of us to pour an appropriate amount of our remaining magic power into it before switching to take a break?」

Even if it was a problem if there was too little, it would not be an issue if there was too much. Perhaps Noa had the same thoughts as she nodded and approved of it.

「That’s right. …for now, split into these three groups. Before we arrive at the demon territory, which is about three days, you will rest and keep guard in these groups.」

She was saying that it was about three days, but that was probably if the air travel went smoothly. If we were not blessed with good weather along the way, it would, of course, take longer. That was also the case with monsters, but just being in the sky required constant vigilance, which was the same as the dungeons and the “Forest of Death”.

The groups were divided with Noa, Yoru, and I who excelled in detecting enemies as the commanding officers and Amelia, Kyousuke, Zeal-san, and the hero who had high offensive abilities being evenly distributed.

While my team was keeping vigilance, Noa’s group would rest and sleep, and Yoru’s group would pass the time as they liked. If there was an attack, Yoru’s group would be the ones to support us. We would rotate in half a day.

「My group is Amelia, Ria, Kurou, and Hosoyama, huh.」

「Please take care of me, Oda-kun.」

Noa took out a piece of paper from who knew where and read out the group distribution that was written on it. It seems that she had been thinking about this since we were in the safe house.

Yoru’s group was the hero, Ueno, Waki, and Zeal-san. Noa’s group was Amaryllis, Tsuda, and Kyousuke. Yoru’s group had a few non-combatants, but Yoru would probably figure something out and the support group would follow up.

Seeing as there were no other objections, we gathered into our groups.
