Episode 37: The Super Common Hero Summoning 33

“No, Alicia-sama! Isn’t that a bit too reckless!?”

“I’ve already made my decision. Besides, both Glenn and Maki-san agree with me.”

“M-Maki-sama!?”

“It’s not that I agree; I’ve just given up.”

As I smiled and said this, for some reason, Alicia smiled back.

Seeing this, Vil-san covered his face with his hands and sighed.

“Haah… I understand. Alicia-sama won’t backtrack on her decision.”

“Thank you very much.”

“I’m not praising you! …So, are we still departing tomorrow morning?”

The quick change of subject is truly a soldier’s trait. Or perhaps Vil-san is just an exceptional person.

“We should avoid secondary damage, so I think that’s how it will be.”

“I see… Considering that we haven’t returned by this evening, I can’t help but worry. But there’s no helping it.”

“Um, I have a small suggestion. Is that alright?”

As I looked at Ricott-san’s status, which I had been observing since this morning, the two of them raised their heads and looked at me.

“If it’s just a rescue, we might be able to depart immediately.”

“Is that really true, Maki-san!?”

“Yes. They haven’t moved from near the entrance of the Forest of Demons. They’re probably unable to move due to a Dragon that has claimed the entrance as its territory.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t we be unable to help them if we go?”

I hadn’t looked at the Dragon’s status. But since it has a breath attack, it could turn anyone to ash in an instant. So that didn’t matter. The real issue is how to execute the rescue, and I’ve found a method from the strategy that I’m curious about.

“The Dragon moves regularly. However, because the intervals between its movements are short, I think the two of them can’t move.”

“Because of their injuries, I suppose.”

“Yes. Since they were able to get in at first, that seems to be the case. So, we’ll go inside, perform the necessary healing, and then escape from the Forest of Demons.”

“Wait a moment!”

Vil-san, who had been quietly listening to Alicia and me discuss, hurriedly opened his mouth as the conversation progressed without any consideration for him.

“How do you know the movements of the Captain and the others, Maki-sama?”

“Well, I can only say it’s thanks to my profession.”

“Does that mean Alicia-sama believes so?”

“Yeah. I’ve seen it with my own eyes… G-Glenn!”

For some reason, Vil-san trembled at the sudden outburst from Alicia. …Well, if your lucky underwear was found, you wouldn’t have any choice but to believe it.

“…I won’t pry, but I can really trust you, right?”

“Please trust me.”

I replied clearly while looking directly into Vil-san’s eyes. 

For a moment, it felt like we were in a standoff. But then Vil-san suddenly smiled and showed me a salute by tapping his left chest twice.

“I swear on the heart of a knight, I will trust you, Maki-sama!”

“Thank you very much, Vil-san.”

With both of them convinced, I proceeded to explain the strategy.

Out of all the strategies that would ensure everyone survives, this one had the highest success rate. But even then, it was only 10%. The chances were lower than when dealing with the Bullfang. And that was a concern.

“…W-will this method really work?”

“The success rate is low, but I think this is the best we can do.”

“If Maki-san says so, then that must be the case.”

Among the necessary items are tools for treating injuries. And looking at the displayed names, there was one that excited me a bit.

“There’s a high chance they’re injured. Do you have any potions on hand?”

Yes, potions! The kind that absolutely heals injuries!

“Yes, but we need to be careful that they don’t break while transporting them. By the way, didn’t Alicia-sama have a magic bag?”

Yes! This is also a familiar item when talking about another world—the magic bag! It surely has a capacity that exceeds its appearance, a truly otherworldly magical bag!

“I have it with me. I’ll put all the necessary items in it and we’ll set off. I’d like to bring some spare potions if that’s okay?”

“Of course! I’ll prepare them right away!”

Vil-san said this to Alicia, then left the room for a moment.
