Dead:Lost 11 Before The Red Dawn: Ominous Aura
"Here's your tea Haru-san." Ayumi she gave me a cup of warm tea."Thanks. As I browse through my storage, I noticed that I still have the lunch that Ayumi made for me yesterday. "Oh, I still have this, luckily it's still hot.""Did you store it on [Time Elemental Magic: Storage] Haru-san?" asked Ayumi"I did, that way, the food won't spoil. I'm sorry…I forgot to eat this yesterday.""Don't worry about it.""Inaaaa…only Haru-chan got the bento (lunch box), breakfast and warm tea…where is mine?""Spider Rapist, eat your own food.""What's your problem Tree-worshipper? Wait, why you eating vegetables? Isn't that a cannibalism?""Haru-san, that's bento for lunch time, not for breakfast. Do you want to waste Ayumi's food again?" asked Luna while ignoring a quarrel on the back."I've wasted my time yesterday until I forgot to eat this…"I ate the whole bento and cleaned it with [Everyday Life Magic] (Simplified: Lifestyle Magic) before giving it back to Ayumi. I also picked the breakfast Ayumi made for me."You are a greedy one Kaichou…" said Yuna."I don't want to waste any food that has been prepared for me." I remember Ayumi once hit my head because I leave some her food behind and it was really hurt."Ishizaki-sama, do you want switch to horse again?""Of course, I can't take command from here. We still have a day before we reach the destination.""Haru-chan, you have Ayumi-chan here, just leave the guard duty to Robert.""I'm sorry Ranisan, but I can't do that." It looks like that Rania and Yavia had resolved their problem. As always, Rania won. She is binding Yavisan with webs right now. Then, I walked to the driver seat."Oh, Kaichou…are you feeling better already?" asked Suzuki."Of course he is, he had the ladies pampered him all night after all.""Please don't tease me Johannes-san. Last night was so noisy, do you any idea what—""We didn't see anything." They quickly replied in a flat tone."Oh…okay then.""Do you want to ride your horse again?" asked Johannes."Yeah because I feel restless if I don't.""Well, it's up to you. But don't act recklessly again like yesterday Kaichou. You almost gave me a heart attack.""That's Kaichou for you Johannes-san ahahahaha…!""By the way, did something happen to the caravan?""Hmm…nothing in particular, we have no problem in communicating with each other. Our only problem is Ridell and Hel's accident a few daesh ago." said Suzuki."Have they recovered already?""Yes. We have capable Healers, so nothing to worry about.""They will go on guard duty again today, if you wish to see them, they are in carriage six.""Okay, I'll be right back." Then I walked back to pa.s.senger seat."Oh Kaichou, where do you want to go?" asked Yuna.
"Carriage No. 6. I wish to see Ridell and Hel's condition." Then I used [Teleport] to go there."GHOST!" a girl run away the moment she saw me appeared in front of her."That's Kaichou, STUPID!""Lichtiash Morning for you two, Kyouko-chan, Margarettsan.""Oh! h.e.l.lo Leader, Tetra Morning! How are you? Feel better yet?""I'm fine Rudrico-san. By the way where are Hel and Ridell?""They are on the top of carriage, sitting with other boys and Aprillichan." Then I climbed to the carriage from the back of the carriage."Oh Leader, Elessa Morning!" Hel greets me."Lichtiash Morning Leader!" said Ridell."Domo (h.e.l.lo) Leader!" said Aprillia with a smile."Lichtiash del Marthelius efter Eigherius!" ("May Lichtiash-sama Blesses Your Life with Safety and Love") I said."Del Illvetriater Ohntheria Estadracal!" ("May The Maker and Dragon G.o.ds Return Your Kind Prayer to You") They replied."Hel, Ridell! Glad to see you are okay! Is your wound still hurt?""No, we are fine. Thanks for asking!" said Hel."Hel got his left arm clawed by the small wolves. They also bit his horse's leg and b.u.t.t. I get injured because I helped him when he fell from his horse, the wolves got me on my back. We are saved thanks to Aprillichan who teleported us back to the carriage." said Ridell."You two were so helpless back then, you should be glad that I was there.""Yeah, thanks to you. But you also received damage from Tim, weren't you?""That boy launched a huge fireball that hit everything but the target. Thanks to him I got burn scar all over my body, after we reached our destination, I'll kick him until death.""I will also discipline him." I said."Hoo…I can't wait to see that. Back then we ganged up on him until he cried like baby AHAHAHA…!""Ahahaha…I think you went too far back then Ridell…""Who cares.""Oh Kaichou, you were so heroic back then, finishing off the Dragon by yourself." said Hel."That's not an ordinary Dragon. But a Demonic Dragon." Hearing that, Kevin spits out his tea."Wh-what?! How the fu—""You are surprised right? Me too, but I'm not joking right now.""…That huge Dragon was a Demonic Dragon?" asked Aprillia. Then, I explained everything what I saw yesterday and what I heard from Robert."Dang…a Demonic Dragon flew above us and we managed to escape…how lucky we are…" said Kevin."More importantly, it enjoys others suffering? h.e.l.l…" said Hel."Well, a Demonic Dragon is ether a corrupted Dragon or Demon transformed into Dragon. That's why it was hard to take down." said Kevin."Yes, and now we keep it in our storage. Then, how do we process it? Holy Elf Kingdoms repel anything related to sins, darkness and evil things." asked Ridell."Well, I think Robert might know something about it, I will also send a message to father as well." It's quite troublesome to handle Demonic Material inside the Kingdoms due to the [Anti-Evil] Barrier. I must find a way to process it.After we chatted a bit, I returned to the first carriage, equipped my equipment and summoned Nida from storage. It seems Kevin, Ridell, Yu and Hel also decided to ride their horses again."This is [White Falcon] Party's Leader Ishizaki Haruhisa von Alexandria reporting for duty. I have also take command from my brother as well." I report to the guild master using [Message] Magic."Alright, you are permitted to command your party again. Be careful." I closed the [Message] Magic."Oh, Leader…you are back. Welcome welcome…" said Arnold."Glad you are okay." said Jack with relief in his voice."Thanks for your hard work both of you. Let's keep going."We were riding until evening without any problems. Robert and Jack also don't have anything to report, this is very strange, we are deep inside enemy seniorities and there is no resistance at all."Hey, Leader…I think something is wrong." said Arnold."Yeah, it's too quiet. There's something off." said Jack."You mean there is no Treant right? Normally, they would ambush us if we get too close." I said."Yeah, that and the atmosphere… It feels... strange.""This is Julio. I report to My Lord, I felt something wicked is watching us. I also felt a very wicked aura lingering this place." We need to keep riding at full speed until we reached an open gra.s.sland. The soil is red like blood and also released a very awful smell."Priests and Paladins, activate your [Protections against Alignment], [Mental Debuff Immunity], [Physical Debuff Immunity], [True Sight], [Divination of The True G.o.d], and any other your Anti-Demon Spells. Don't forget to equip your mask that has imbued with [Light] Elemental Attribute. Lastly, please prepare [Purification], [Blessing], [Enchantment] and [Anti-Undead] Spells.""Ranisan, send some of your underlings to all party members. Put them on the carriages and horses as well.""You got it. But Haru-chan what will we face next?""Demons." I said flatly.
