After a while, the shopping group came back so we decided to once again head for the northern forest .

Us kids and Tricia got on the cart, which was pulled by the Golem . Lyell and the rest also boarded it in turns and had lunch . They made sure to keep the cart surrounded by three people, which was a proof of their skill .

“These kinds of adventures aren’t half-bad . “

Cortina surveyed the surroundings while munching on her preserved food . The fewer people there were, the harder it was to keep the surroundings in check .

However, Queen Blossoms weren’t such hostile beings . If they controlled the area around the mountain, there was probably no need for such vigilance .

Before long, the green covering our surroundings disappeared, gradually replaced by steep rock . At the same time, the cart started slanting more and more, arousing the feeling that we were climbing the mountain . This meant that we were halfway up the mountain .

Incessant tremor a.s.saulted the cart, and our b.u.t.ts and semicircular ca.n.a.ls started to hurt .

“Ugh . ”

“Nicole, again?”

“Sorry, I have motion sickness . ”

“I-It’s no surprise given all this shaking . ”

The cart clunked as it advanced uphill . Being an unexplored region, there was no real road, but Lyell and others chose the path where they thought the cart could pa.s.s .

Maria cast Cure on me since I was feeling sick . This wasn’t like Heal that could only heal injuries, but also mental abnormalities . It showed a decent effect even when it came to a cart sickness like this .

“Nicole, did that help?”

“Yup . Thanks, mommy . ”

It made me feel kinda uncomfortable to be still calling Maria with mommy, but considering my age, it was more proper to do so . Seeing me in such a state, Cortina cast Levitate on the cart .

This simple magic allowed one to float things up to several dozen centimeters from the ground, and it was mainly used to avoid pitfalls and similar land traps . However, using it in our scenario allowed the cart to ignore the unevenness of the ground and advance smoothly, which decreased the shaking quite a bit .

“This should make it a lot easier . ”

“Thanks too, Cortina . ”

“No problem . ”

Cortina answered with a broad smile . It was the smile that had once charmed me . Realizing that my face got flushed a bit, I s.h.i.+fted my gaze and pretended to survey the surroundings .

“I’ve never had an adventure like this . ”

“Such convenient fellows they are . ”

Tricia said something disrespectful without batting an eye . She was a rare kind of person who didn’t cower before the six heroes . Perhaps that’s what allowed her to share such friends.h.i.+p with Cortina .

“It consumes Magic Power, so I’d rather not use it much . ”

“It is indeed useful, but it has its drawbacks when it matters the most . ”

Maria and Cortina explained why she waited so long to use it . Levitate could last long, but it consumed an appropriate amount of Magic Power .

Moreover, while the user’s mind was preoccupied with its control, their reaction to the sudden enemy attack might be delayed . As such, she tried to refrain from using it too much .

But at this rate, both I and Tricia would have gotten exhausted just by riding the cart, so she had no choice but to use it .

“The view is turning smokey . I suppose it’s about time we put the masks on . ”

Lyell who was walking at the forefront noticed the dimness ahead and gave a warning . Just as he said, it gradually turned smokey and our visibility worsened .

We put on our respective Magic Items bestowed with Purify . Although he called it a mask, it wasn’t shaped to cover the whole face, but only the mouth area .

Given how it was almost the end of spring, wearing it made us uncomfortably hot, but that was hardly a matter to address when we were climbing a volcano .

“It stinks . ”

“It’s the characteristic smell of a volcano . It’s bad for the body to smell it for too long . ”

“So that’s where this Item comes into play?”

“Mich.e.l.le, you should keep this in mind too . You’d have more opportunities to climb the mountain in the future . ”

“Okay . ”

Mich.e.l.le had the Gift of Marksmans.h.i.+p . And that had even reached the ears of the n.o.bles in the capital of the northern alliance .

Meaning, she could potentially be taken into the army in the future . When that time came, the knowledge she gained during this adventure would prove to be useful .

“We all have matching pairs!”

She showed no concern to my warning and innocently spoke those words . They were so innocent, in fact, that it could blow away the future I was so anxious about .

“Yup . Not bad . ”

Lyell, Gadius, Maria, Maxwell, Cortina .

Tricia, Mich.e.l.le, Letina… And finally, me .

Everyone found it bothersome to return to their houses for those Items, so we just bought the same one for all of us . It gave us a sense of solidarity, different from being in a party .

I responded to Mich.e.l.le with a smile… but that’s when I noticed it .

“There… Something’s there!?”

“Huh?”

Cortina was the first to react to my shout . Instead of questioning me, she decided to inspect the surrounding presences and noticed what was out of place .

“True… Maxwell, release the Golem . ”

“On it!”

Maxwell followed her instructions and immediately called off the Golem . He then set up his staff and took a stance to be able to cast Magic at moment’s notice . Cortina and Maria also jumped down from the cart and remained alert .

“They are there… Huh?”

“Yeah, we are surrounded . ”

Lyell and Gadius also set up their respective weapons and inspected the surroundings . As if to respond to their reaction, a giant shadow stepped out from the mist .

Aberrations with the withered tree-like physiques that gave off humanoid impressions—Treants had surrounded us .
