Chapter 78 Formation (2)

FuuIt really was nerve wracking

While sighing, I head towards the guest room where lily is waiting.

But still how could I say I am the leader. Anybody who has a problem with that, step forward.. Ah, Im so embarrassed.

Well, after demonstrating the power, an imposing attitude is needed after all.

Though I still have a great doubt whether how I acted was the right thing to do.

Anyway, rank 4 really are dangerous.

During the battle of Vulcan it might have looked like my one-sided victory, in truth I didnt feel that much difference between our powers.

I was able to win just because I had good compatibility against him.

Vulcan is an power fighter just as he looks. He attacked with the intention of stopping my attacks directly.

Any ordinary magician wouldnt be able to stop his charge and would be knocked out. After all he withstood my 10 magic bullets at point-blank range while suffering no damage at all.

Not only the toughness of his body, but also his power, speed, reaction speed and physical capacity were some levels above my enhanced body.

I doubt if we once again fight, it would go this easy.

For now lets pray for that situation to never come.

According to Lily After becoming a leader never show your weak side or else youll be underestimated.. So I cant show my uneasiness to Vulcan or others.

Well it might be fine for me to maintain my normal expression on face to naturally speak something like Hey, dont you dare slack off!

While thinking that, I reach the guest room and knock at door.

Lily, Im back

Ah Kurono-san, come in

Nh, this voice, is it Fiona-san?

The door opened, and there stood Fiona-san.

Upon entering the room, I find Lily lying down on bed, she must have gone to sleep due to tiredness.

I heard Lily had some business with Fiona-san, is it over?

I casually ask,

Yes, I was told you have a sweet thing called Pudding

She replied with a tilted head.

Ha? Pudding?

You dont have pudding?

Fiona-san stares at me with golden eyes filled with extreme expectations.

No, I dont have it? I didnt go away to cook you know?

Even if you looks at me with those eyes, I cant help with things I dont have.

Fiona-san shows a depressed expression.

Eh, what is this feeling like Im the bad guy here?

If you want to eat it, I will make it later

Is it true?

She suddenly got better, somehow this reaction reminds me of the time I gave her popsicle.

I will make it later, right now it is impossible. I am busy with the emergency quest, I dont have the ingredients and dont expect that it will be very good or not.

It will be fine. Lets work hard to safely complete the evacuation.

Thank you for brave words. I will find a kitchen when we reach Spada for sure.

Then let us think about the name for our party at once.

Eh?

Eh?

Umm, looks like Fiona-san and I are not even on the same page?

What the hell was this talk about? Party? Is it the party for celebrating after the evacuation is completed?

Im a member of Kurono-sans party, arent I ?

Is that so?

Am I wrong?

Hell with this conversation, always ending with a question mark.

Calm down, Dont lose myself, I have to somehow find the hidden meaning behind Fiona-sans completely unrelated words.

Talk with Lily, Pudding, Party member

erm, was your talk with Lily regarding your addition to our party?

Yes

Bingo! Im completely right!

I now understand, completely understand.

Im grateful that you have agreed to it.

OK, now were getting on the same page.

I will ask this just for being convinced but, are you really alright with entering our party?

Yes, according to Lily-san, Im an wild witch who can burn 100 villages in all directions but still, take care of me from now on.

Eeee, what is with that ultra-suspicious self-introduction. I never heard Lily giving that dangerous evaluation to Fiona-san.

Is it alright for me to understand it as that you excel at using magic?

Yes, I have confidence in the firepower of my magic. I can turn enemy and ally both to ash without any concerns.

Not putting in a tsukkomi here, I calm down myself and ask

Cant you just burn only the enemy to cinders?

Im a little clumsy at controlling my magical power. Still I was passionately invited, so I decided to join the party.

Fiona-san snorts and puffs out her chest full of confidence.

I-I see, well Lily is fine with it so there is no problem. Well then best regards from me too, Youre welcome to our party.

I have no choice but to accept her in, though her self-introduction was completely suspicious.

Even I trust Fiona-sans magical firepower, after all she saved me from the rain of arrows with a wall of flame.

And she is also the saviour of my life
