Chapter 7-49. Preparation

“W-why?”

“I don’t really know. But that’s what I was told by Atrak.”

Houen lied.

However, Alena did not seem to doubt it when she heard it.

I guess we can’t say that we were told the story by the voice of heaven.

However, there is still time.

According to the information that was gathered here thanks to Houen, it might be better to go there early and prepare some kind of countermeasures.

As long as we know they are coming, we can do something about it.

I don’t want them to destroy a place where people live that easily over and over again.

We can’t just stand by and watch innocent people get killed, even if it is an act that is disruptive to the devil.

“Again ……? Is it going to be destroyed again, ……?”

“We’re not going to let them destroy it. That’s why we’re preparing for a fight. We’ll be leaving a little early. ……”

“Okay. ……”

I lightly pat Alena on the head to give her a little encouragement.

That’s what I can do right now.

So, let’s do our best.

I have also evolved and my ability values have increased ……!

Well, even if my stats haven’t changed much, I’m sure my attack power and other things have gone up. ……

Not sure how far I can go in human form, but I’m sure I can manage.

I wanted to confirm it to Irza if she really doesn’t know, however…… it would be difficult since Reizen is still sleeping.

I wonder if he’s still sleeping.

Should I show my face there?

“Houen, shall we?” 

“If you want to get ready, it would be better to go as soon as possible.”

“It’s decided then. I’m sure Lacc will be happy to fly again.”

“Yea. By the way, Jigal said he’d like to meet you, you know?”

“Huh? You met with Jigal?”

“A little bit yesterday.”

I see.

Then, I’ll talk to him when I get Lacc at Roze’s place.

Once we’ve decided to sort out, all that’s left to do is preparations.

Is there any centipede meat for sale anywhere?

If I have that, I can save a lot of money on food for Lacc.

Perhaps I should have brought the crabs I killed in that dungeon.

“Oh, Ouren, Houen! When will the devil be there!?”

“The estimated time is two months from now. But we must head over there and start preparing for it.”

“I understand!”

Alena was getting stronger without me even knowing it. ……

Isn’t this girl pretty amazing to get stronger without any help?

What, I wonder if gravity skills get stronger the less you use them.

Well, I haven’t seen Alena fight much.

No, I just haven’t seen her fight, but she might actually be fighting a lot.

“Is there anything else you should prepare for, Houen?”

“To fight the devil. I’ll go retrieve the best spear I have.”

“……, are you a weapon collector or something?”

“!? N-no, I’m not! I’m really not!”

Mmm, that’s pretty obvious.

He said before that he has a place where he keeps armor and weapons.

Well, I don’t really mind, but does the weapon affect the strength of the person? *

Uh, I don’t have anything in particular to prepare.

The only thing I have to prepare is food for Lacc.

Maybe I should just buy some …….

“Well. I’ll go ahead and get some food for Lacc.”

“Uh-huh. It should take about two and a half days to get to the destination if you fly over there. But I’m going to stop by the Zenki-village first.”

“Is there something going on?”

“I wanted to check something with Hinata.”

“I see. I understand. Well then, Alena and I will go as soon as we’re ready. Are you going to bring someone else with you?”

“Nah. I’m not going to let anyone else get involved in our problems. Only Lize, Reizen, Uchikage, and some of the Oni would be able to help us.”

“Then when you go over there, ask them if they can send reinforcements.”

“I will.”

Good. Then let’s get ready. ……!

To the Bamil territory!

We can’t let them wreck havoc twice!!
