Chapter 250.1 - Drop Out Team 2

Though we were unlucky for an accidental encounter with an army of mantis and ants during hunting, there was no special encounter after that. The result of the hunting was pretty good.

The best spoil of the hunt was the big earth boar. Two fatty snakes. We got some herbs, wild vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, and many other ingredients along the way.

After securing a boar, you could say that we wouldn't starve today or tomorrow, so the result of the hunt was pretty good.

I'd like to start cooking immediately however,

「Let's take a bath first.」

「Eh, what do you mean by bath? What are you talking about, Momokawa? There's no way we can enjoy such luxury in this situation.」

Hayama-kun was looking at me like some sort of delusional child who couldn't accept reality. Oi stop looking at me with that kind of gaze.

「Setting up bathtub ain't a big deal for the survivor of the dungeon, you know?」

「Calm down, aren't you referring to the water fountain over there? We have no choice but to endure bathing with cold water.」

Fear not, I wouldn't do something as pitiful as diving into the water fountain of the fairy plaza, splashing the water around while screaming「This is bath! This-is-bath!」.

Well, it would be quicker to show him instead of wasting my time trying to explain it.

「In short, Randou-san, the usual please.」

「『Terra Alma Shield』!」

Randou-san unleashed her defensive spell right next to the water fountain of the fairy plaza without a shred of hesitation, conjuring a spacious bathtub in no time.

At this point, it was no longer the dull, muddy colored bathtub, it had a stone-like texture on the surface, the testament of Randou-san's mastery after using this skill countless times.

Thus, a huge bathtub, big enough to easily fit ten people, was completed, but since there were only three of us now, a smaller sized one would be better.

「The hole left by Shimokawa-kun is truly big…」

Since the reliable aquamancer wasn't with us, I had to make an impromptu hose using my black hair bind, a skill that I hadn't used for a long time. Since the bathtub was huge, it took quite some time to fill it to the brim.

「After turning this bathtub into my 『Witch's Kettle』, we can easily adjust the water temperature inside, thus completing the wonderful bathtub.」

I explained to Hayama-kun with a proud look on my face,

「W-Woow, you really can make a bathtub… Please marry me, Momokawa」

「E~h, guys who aren't useful in a fight are a little… You know」

「NUAAAAAAAAAAAH! THAT'S HIT THe BULL'S EYES!」

Ah, Hayama-kun was surprisingly sensitive about that fact, huh.

「Then, I'll prepare for everyone's meal while waiting for the bathtub to be ready.」

Let's make preserved food immediately.

I hoped Randou-san and Hayama-kun could take this opportunity to learn how to dismantle food ingredients and cook it. Naturally, I've learned the basics for those skills from Mei-chan, but my skills were still far behind an expert like her, and my repertoire was fairly limited too.

Still, that was much better than not being able to cook anything. According to Mei-chan's teaching, I had to pursue my own path.

===

Well, after Hayama-kun along with Kinako and Co ate the earth boar's hot pot with delight, and the bathtub was ready, I drew an alchemy circle in front of the water fountain.

Though I was exhausted, I couldn't afford to take a break now. Thus, I decided to do some alchemy work.

「Master, done.」

「Good job, Rem, what a smart girl you are.」

Rem acted as my assistant at this kind of a time. Though she had evolved into a shadow doll that now resembled that of a real girl, that part hadn't changed.

Now that she had gained real, human-like body, even if it was only that of a little girl, she should be able to handle more delicate tasks that require finer dexterity. I could have Rem learn various things as we go along.

Anyhow, after I transformed the mud doll that Rem made into 『Witch's Kettle』, the preparation was complete.

「Let's start by making weapon for Hayama-kun first.」

The current Hayama-kun was only equipped with a spear during the battle; he wouldn't get his turn soon.

Despite wielding a spear for close combat, his strength was that of a normal person. He lacked reliable ranged attack despite being a 『Spiritualist』, attack such as basic spell that usually come as the base skill for spellcaster.

According to him, if he really tried, he could unleash fireballs by using a spirit of fire from a lighter, and summon lightning strikes when his smartphone was fully charged.

However he couldn't rely on this power on a regular basis since the condition to invoke those spells were completely dependent on the spirit's condition and mood, meaning that those skills were unreliable. While those skills were truly powerful, it was much better to save them for last resort instead of using it for normal combat.

In short, what Hayama-kun needed right now was a reliable long-range attack method that he could use anytime.

Fortunately, Hayama-kun had a lot of magical power thanks to his vocation as a spiritualist.

Meaning that the weapon of his choice should be a weapon with low rank offensive spell.

「I can make that kind of weapon with 『Curse Alchemy Formation』」

Even if I returned to the class, I couldn't rely on Takanashi anymore. The only one with alchemy skills other than her was me.

After getting my revenge on Takanashi and safely returning to the class, I could finally put the escape plan I talked about that day into action. The main group had to escape by foot, making it a long journey on foot.

To survive that kind of journey without Takanashi, I had no choice but to work hard myself. Of course, at that time, I would impose rigorous training on the other members and the rest of the spellcaster class so they could master more advanced alchemy techniques, so they'd better be prepared. It'll be a death march, surpassing even the preparation to subjugate Yamata no Orochi.

「… I can't waste my time, I have to return to everyone's side as soon as possible.」

「Master.」

Rem called out to me, yet she did nothing at all, all she did was look into my eyes with her pair of large blue eyes.

「It's okay, I have Rem by my side after all.」

I patted Rem's silver hair as I said those words to her, yup, I couldn't get enough of patting her hair.

I tend to be petted on many occassion, but I feel like I understand the desire to pet someone smaller than myself a bit better now.

Not only was Rem useful in combat, I also feel healed whenever I pat her head.

「Ha, she might become silver-haired babe if I raised her well!」

「… Rem going to be raised.」

「Woops, almost lost in my own delusion.」

Even if Rem grew into bombshell beauty, I might not be able to do something sexy with her.

It was one thing if a submissive bombshell beauty appeared out of nowhere, but the same couldn't be said if it was someone I raised since childhood. More like I might feel guilty since she was something akin to a daughter I raised since childhood.

「Well, I'm looking forward to Rem's growth.」

「Yes, Master… Rem will do her best.」

「Rem is such a good kid.」

I couldn't really tell if she understood what I said or not due to the deadpan look on her face, but I wanted to believe in her.

Though Rem was my own curse that manifested, she was a partner as reliable as Mei-chan.

「Okay. Let's turn Hayama-kun into a magic warrior starting from tomorrow!」

I focused on my alchemy job to shake off the solemn air.

===

「Wo~w! This is a really cool weapon, Momokawa!」

Thus, Hayama-kun was happily wielding the red spear in her hands.

Faint flame flickered in the tip of his vermilion spear, then it formed a fireball in the next moment and shot forward.

The fireball hit the wall on the side of the entrance of the ruin, exploded, and left black smoke along with a scorched mark.

「Power, range, and discharge rate are inferior to that of Randou-san's 『Terra Sagita』, but this is enough for long-range attack.」

「Really? It doesn't seem to be that strong.」

「Please don't use ourselves as a standard. You've become much more skilled now, Randou-san.」

「Well, better than nothing.」

Randou-san looked at Hayama-kun, who was really delighted by that level of firepower, with a warm gaze, but men are creatures who would be delighted just by getting a new toy, or weapon in this case. And I became more motivated upon seeing Hayama-kun's delighted look on his face.

「I can finally fight with this 『Red Lance』. I won't lose to you, Randou!」

「You can't defeat me with that flimsy fireball, Hayama~」

Pssh Pssh Pssh!

Randou-san fired sharp, small stones rapidly as she spoke. It was too weak to be called magic, more like a trick. But seeing those pellets explode at Hayama-kun's feet made me realize that it would sting if it hit Hayama-kun's skin.

「Wooah! Stop it, Randou~!」

Yup, there was no way he could be a skilled spellcaster with a flimsy magic tool.
