Chapter 306: Future Plans

“Okay, next up, Sophie! Let’s have a mock battle!”

It’s been a while since I’ve moved this hard, and with the new equipment being so easy to use and fitting in even better with my body, I have plenty of fight left in me. I’m not a fighting maniac, but I’m still up for a fight today!

“I’m very glad you asked me, but that’s all for today.”

“Eh? Why!?”

I was going to continue the mock battle until noon for now, and then after lunch we would have a mock battle until the evening.

“I know you didn’t have any problems in the mock battle just now, but in the meantime, let’s call it a day. From tomorrow, I’ll fight with you for as many hours as you want.”

“….. Okay.”

To be honest, it was quite unsatisfactory, but I decided to do what she said because she had a good reason. Then the five of us went back inside the temporary base.

“Well, now that we’ve confirmed that Nii-sama is okay for today, I think we should decide what we’re going to do.”

Sophie said as we all sat down together in the living room.

“Eh? Aren’t we going to hunt monsters in the deep forest?”

We haven’t heard from Bequa yet. So we were going to continue to hunt monsters in the deep forest as before. We’ve already killed all five demons.

“Im knows where we are hunting in the deep forest.”

“Oh …… but wouldn’t it be better if we moved to a place far away from where we’ve been?”

Even if they know where we’ve been before, it should be no problem at all if we move to a new location.

“Even If we move, it doesn’t mean we can go as far away as on the other side. So, if they search the deep forest where the demons found us, we will be found immediately. And even if we went to the other side, we would be discovered if she went around the forest.”

“Hmmm…don’t you think you’re worrying too much? The reason is that Im can see me at any time, so it’s as if she knows where I am all the time.”

Im can see through me, so no matter where I go, she’ll be able to guess my general location from the scenery around me.

“…What do you mean by that?”

“Huh? Ah…..”

Oh, no. I didn’t tell Sophie that because of my title, I can be seen by Ryu and Im at any time. I thought I had completely told her…

“It’s nothing.”

“…Do you really think that kind of deception will work now?”

“………”

The only one who is being stuffed with words is Sophie, but I feel that the other three are also looking at me coldly, if only from the heart. I gave up trying to deceive them and told them everything honestly.

“Why did you keep such an important thing from me until now?”

“Hee! I’m sorry!”

Sophie was really angry with me. This is the first time in this life that she has been this angry with someone other than her love affair.

“Haa…if that’s the case, we must always act as if your whereabouts are known…”

“I’m Sorry.”

I apologized to the four of them.

“I’m not blaming you for this. I just wish I had known about it earlier so I could have taken a lot of precautions.”

“I don’t mind because it was good practice for me and I’ve raised my level quite a bit.”

“I think you should have told me earlier, but I don’t blame you.”

“I don’t blame you because I know you didn’t mean to hurt me either. It’s not my place to be blame anyone in the first place…”

“Thank you.”

I feel much better now that Sophie, Shana, Elira, and Carina have said that to me. I really can’t think of a better way to thank the four of them.

“By the way, there’s nothing else important you’re hiding, right?”

“No…there shouldn’t be.”

I thought about it for a bit, but I don’t think there is anything important that needs to be said.

“Back to the subject, since it means they will almost certainly know where you are, let’s continue hunting in the same place we have been. For the duration: …… How many levels are Shana and Carina?”

“91.”

“76.”

Shana’s level is 91 and Carina’s level is 76. I was surprised that Shana’s level was higher than I expected. But when I thought about it, Shana had been defeating monsters as an adventurer while I was in the elf village, so it made sense for her to be at that level.

“So, let’s start with the first period of leveling up until Shana is ready to evolve. After that, we will discuss our future plans again, and if you still want to hunt, let’s do it this time until Carina is ready to evolve. However, if any problems arise along the way, we will stop. How about like this for now?”

“I think it’s fine.”

“No problem.”

“That’s fine.”

“No problem.”

No one objected to Sophie’s idea.

“Tomorrow we will have a mock battle to get used to our bodies’ increased status, and the day after tomorrow we will start the hunt.”

Thus, it was decided that tomorrow they would have a mock battle, and the day after tomorrow they would go to the deep forest to hunt.
