CHAPTER 189: MAKE CAMP

And so the adventure of Happy Friends and Marc began. The destination was the grand labyrinth in the west. It was deemed as the best, but I was insistent on not taking the carriages. It would be too slow and I only had ten weeks of semi freedom.

That is why right now I was flying on Fulgy, Mia was riding atop Byakko, while Vitou brought Sharpbeak and another wyvern that would carry the heroes and Marc. Technically Mia could have come with me, but Fulgy refuses to carry anyone else aside from me, so that is how she got paired up with Byakko. By the end of the day we were a third of the way to the destination. So much faster than using a carriage.

“We’re making camp here, everyone secure the area. Ishikawa, Nakamura clear away the trees. Mia, Naoko set up the tents, Marc, Ryuu and I will patrol around and check for monsters or enemies.”

He easily took command and divided up the work. Immediately afterwards he left to patrol. I turned to Mia and shrugged. She who constantly followed me in Kapitalia and had to retrieve me several times knew what I was hinting and merely smiled.

“Naoko-chan, he doesn’t know, does he? Well since he prepared the tent, we should set it up for him.”

“Nope, not a clue. Well since you kept it a secret you can get in for free.”

Mia and I set up three tents that were given to us. I decided to wait before setting up my own “tent”.

“Maeda-san, do you want to help with cooking? I know you have the skill and I am certain the meal will turn out better if you prepare it. Plus I’m sure others would be thrilled to try your cooking.”

“Food is already done, also stop the formal talk, we’re in the same party now. Besides it’s not like we met yesterday, same goes for you Ishikawa.”

“Then call me Taichi, and I will call you Naoko.”

I nodded and smiled. That way was better. This was not Japan and calling people by names had become more natural for me. I took out the table and chairs from the inventory and then put up several types of meals that were still steaming.

“You had all that in your inventory? Just how much do you keep there? Doesn’t it bother you that you have to carry it with you?”

“What are you talking about, it is the best thing here. Time doesn’t flow and space is infinite. I can carry around everything and not stress about what I can or can’t bring with me.”

“Huh? It’s infinite for you? I only have about fifty slots available, in fact all heroes do. When I looked at your status and saw that you had inventory skill I merely assumed it was the same as us and only had fifty slots.”

Wait, wait, wait. Something is not right here. He saw my status? Where did he see it? I’m pretty sure I never opened it in front of him.

“Where did you see my status? I don’t think you had the privilege to have me open it in front of the two of you, either sober or drunk. So, how do you know about it? The guild isn’t allowed to show it to the third party either and the information that they have is outdated.”

He became flustered. It would seem that he shouldn’t have said that. Somebody leaked my status and I wanted to find out who it was. I had some suspicions with the Archduke, but then again it also could have been Earl Orzak.

“I…umm… it was an accident?”

“Oh-oh, she caught you Daisuke, you’re on your own this time.”

“Taichi, that is cruel. How could you do this to me? We’re in it together, you helped me as well.”

So odd, Taichi seems to know about it as well. I glared at him and the next moment he hid behind Daisuke.

“Spill it out both of you! How do you know my status?”

“Naoko, please don’t be mad. I couldn’t stop myself. It is more of a reflex reaction than purposeful prying.”

Reflex, so it is something he does all the time? Could it be a skill like Appraisal, or like my Heaven’s eye but lets him see the information of people and monsters? I never thought it would be exposed like this. And if he knows and Taichi knows, I can say for sure that Vitou knows about it as well.

“So you know my status? With every skill and title?”

“I do, but I can’t tell others about (/)”&#%$… frick I can’t say it.”

Oh thank god that the curse was still functioning. I can’t have others know about me being a dungeon master. But two of them deserve some sort of punishment. I wonder what I should do?

“I don’t care if it is on purpose or not, but you actively told Vitou about it. I will punish you, both of you. Mia, please restrain them and tickle them. [Darkness, come and curse them. Make them very ticklish.”

It was a cruel method, I knew that very well, but I had no intention to stop it. When the others returned both Daisuke and Taichi were lying on the ground completely exhausted, breathing heavily with tears in their eyes. Mia and I were sitting at the table chatting happily between ourselves.

“What happened here? Well since food is already prepared let’s eat. The two of you should get up already.”

“It’s nothing special, they just decided to do some ab workout and went a bit overboard while competing.”

I gave this misleading explanation and ate. After finishing everything up the order for the night watch needed to be decided upon.

“Marc and I will be in one tent, Mia and Naoko in the other. Ishikawa, Nakamura and Fulgur will share the largest one. The night watch will rotate by tents. Is that okay with everyone?”

“Oh, I forgot to mention this, but Mia, Fulgur and I have different place to stay. That is why you can have all three tents.”

As I said that I moved to the largest cleared area and from my inventory I took out a two storey wooden cabin that I had built in secret while still in Orzak. It was done with the help of elementals and my pets.

“””WHAT!”””
