Volume 7 - Ch 1.11
With my current set of Bonus Skills I no longer have Chant Omission, which would otherwise allow me to cast my Spells just by thinking about their names instead of saying them out loud, and if I continued to kiss Miria, the magic wouldnt have activated properly. I also chose Water Stormover Water Ballbecause with the AoE Spell, all I had to do was to cast it and its range would do the rest of the work for me, whereas if I used a single-target variant, I would have to aim every shot manually to make sure that it would reach its intended targets.
Maybe I should perform another quick Character Reset to optimize myself better for the combat with magic again?
Allow me to help as well!
While I was thinking about whether or not I should go and support the girls with more of my magic or continue to kiss Miria to help the medicine start working faster, Miria suddenly jumped back on her feet and immediately started rushing towards the Pig Hogs that Roxanne and Sherry were fighting.
I expected her to make a speedy recovery, because I knew that the Anti-Poison Medicine would restore her to her optimal condition from before she was poisoned, but still, she went and jumped back into the action incredibly fast! Shouldnt she take it just a little bit easier and just sit the rest of the battle out?
Well, if that id what Miria herself wanted, and judging by how eagerly she was fighting against the Pig Hogs right, this mustve been what she wanted, then I see no problems with allowing her to do what she wants since there are no more enemies who can poison her so she can go to town against them as much as she wants. The important thing here is that she managed to make a full recovery and that she directed her anger against the rest of the monsters. And since I didnt want to feel useless, I joined in on the beatdown with my magic as well, and destroyed the Pig Hogs with my Water Magic.
So I guess it doesnt matter who ends up getting poisoned, the reactions are always more or less the same: shakes, difficulty breathing and a complete inability to move on your own which is definitely going to throw you in a pinch if youre traversing the Labyrinths alone. Medical Treatment. Other than that, are you girls okay? Medical Treatment.
In addition to Sherry, Roxanne was also attacked by monsters this time. Probably because she was protecting Miria due to the order that I gave her, so I was casting Medical Treatmenton them in order to heal the wounds that they have sustained.
Other than taking some minor damage, nothing serious happened. I feel fine, and you dont have to worry about me, master.
Uh-huh, yeah, okay. Medical Treatment.
Ive been hit a few times, but I dont think that any of the attacks that hit me were too serious or life-threatening, so for the current moment my life is definitely not in danger.
Im okay now, desu!
Each and every one of the girls is so strong. Even though we had such a serious situation on our hands, they still managed to hold the frontline without it falling apart even though we were effectively two members short for a while. Im also impressed that none of them feel unmotivated by what happened to Miria.
And once more for good measure. Medical Treatment.
Thank you very much, master. We should be okay now.
Roxanne and Sherry dont seem to need much moreMedical Treatmentsince the wounds that they have sustained were indeed light and non-life-threatening, exactly like they were telling me. Well, that was to be expected since they were only attacked once or twice by regular attacks.
Okay Miria, youre next. Medical Treatment. It mustve been tough for you to get poisoned like that, huh? Medical Treatment.
I was surprised by it, desu.
Is that so? Medical Treatment. Were lucky that this time this incident wasnt as serious as it couldve been if we didnt have any Anti-Poison Medicine on us, but you have to remember that this is the Labyrinth and that you absolutely cannot be letting your guard down for even a moment and always be prepared for everything or else the scenario from today is just going to repeat itself. Well, that being said, maybe you shouldnt be getting used to always being on your guard, since its going to negatively affect your regular life outside of the Labyrinth. You understand what I am trying to say here? Medical Treatment.
Yes, desu.
Great. As long as you understand that you have to exercise caution whenever we come to the Labyrinths, then thats all that I ask for. Medical Treatment.
Without Chant Omission, Im pretty sure that I have to be looking like some kinda weirdo with a penchant for repeating the same words over and over again, but I dont care about that at the current moment. I What I do care about is getting my Explorer level to Lv.50 as soon as possible so that I could get enough Bonus Points to get Chant Omissionback onto the list of my active Bonus Skills, but since getting that Explorer Lv.50 in order to become an Adventurer is still ways off from me, I feel like getting Chant Omissionback is a good enough of a small goal to start.
However, the only way to increase my level is to fight against the monsters and continue to explore the Labyrinths so that we can face more stronger opponents that are going to be worth even more EXP, but even if Im all itching up to go to the higher floors as soon as possible to continue to explore these more profitable EXP hunting grounds, I just cant do it yet, and it cannot be helped.
So far however, our trip to the Labyrinth today has been successfully completed, except for the fact that pretty much nothing noteworthy happened as well. We couldnt move up to the next floor and none of my Jobs got enough EXP to Level Up, so at the very least, I want to go back home and take a nice, relaxing bath.
We went back home a little bit earlier than usual so that I could start boiling the water for out bath. Since Miria went through the unpleasant experience of being poisoned today, I also want to do something for her so that she could just kick back, relax and forget all about it. Because of that, we ate dinner as quickly as possible without trying to prepare anything too extraordinary, and as soon as we were done, it was off to the bathroom with us, where a nice bath of hot water was already waiting for us.
As soon as we got in, Miria began to float on the waters surface while laying on her back with her face staring at the ceiling. She wasnt doing anything in particular; she just allowed her body to float as it was. Looking at her like that was quite relaxing, in the same way as was knowing that Roxanne and Sherry were at my sides.
Ahh, yes. This is truly a blissful feeling that washes all of my fatigue and stress away.
It was hard today, but the bath feels good, even more so after all of the events that transpired today.
Yes, its definitely the best.
I agree with them, but with one exception. The best thing in this bathtub right now is most certainly Roxannes tail. While we all lay in the hot water, I put my arm under Roxannes body. I like the feeling of her tail brushing against me so much. When I lightly hold her body and pull it closer to me, I can feel the rich swellings of hers pressing themselves against my chest.
Miria, are you feeling comfortable enough?
Yes, desu.
Miria gives me a reply, and it was a happy and carefree one, which made me feel relieved, because I was worried that what happened to her today mightve actually affected her mood. Im glad to see that I was mistaken about that.
Right now, she just floats around in the bathtub freely, without being bound or contained by anything. And since the bathtub that we have here at home is not all that wide, then her tails is touching my feet as she floats around like that.
