Chapter 31 — New Problem New Land
Perspective — Narrator
Expedition HQ
When the party return to the HQ they didn't find the princess, instead, Mueller greets them in her place.
Mueller: Ah, Meisa Guild! How are the expedition?
Diko: Wait, Mueller? Where's Persephone?
Mueller: Her Highness?
Upon hearing that question his expression immediately turns grim.
Mueller: I see, so you hadn't heard. It would seem Her Highness has fallen ill...
Diko: What!?
Mueller: She's currently on bed rest, so I'll be assuming her duties here at HQ in the meantime. Fortunately, I've been told her condition isn't too severe. She should be back to full health soon enough.
Bile: Well thankfully on our side we manage to find the Geomagnetic Pole.
Mueller: What!? You found the next Geomagnetic Pole!? Well done. On behalf of Her Highness, I commend you!
Mueller than gives the party 4000 en.
Mueller: This means we're now well over halfway to Yggdrasil. Once we pass through the next island, the tree should be just within our reach. I'm sure it would greatly please Her Highness if you proceeded to the Isle of Cascades. Head out when ready.
Diko: Of course.
Bile: First is-
Diko: Yeah yeah registering stuff and all that.
Registering some stuff...
Maginia: Town Square
Neigal: It's night right now...
Rolio: Well, let's go rest up for the day.
Lady of the Lake bedroom
Diko: So where are we going tomorrow?
Bile: Well, exploring the Island of Cascades?
Rolio: I don't see other option besides that.
Lacia: Guess that's what we're doing?
Neigal: Like we're going to do something else.
Diko: So that's what we'll do tomorrow then.
Day 8
Perspective — Bile
Lady of the Lake lobby 6 am
It seems everyone wake up later than usual...
Neigal: Bile...
Bile: Hm? You wake up before everyone else.
Neigal: Yeah...
Bile: Well isn't this a recurring trend.
Neigal: What?
Bile: Nothing.
She's the one leaving the group the most often, I hope she doesn't do that during very dangerous mission again.
Neigal: Hm?
Bile: Oh, nothing, so why were you inspired to be an adventurer?
Neigal: No special reason, really.
Bile: Still though, can't I get to know that?
Neigal: Considering you don't even bother answering us earlier, I don't feel like you deserve an answer from anyone.
Ouch, that cuts deep.
Neigal: Why do you not answer us anyway?
Bile: The answer will make all of you rely on me more.
Neigal: ?
Bile: I have a rather unique skill.
Neigal: ...And since this "skill" is so special, we'll feel more incline to rely on you if we know what it is?
Bile: You're catching on quickly.
Neigal: How about you tell me what it is and I'll tell you what my reason is.
That's tempting, but in actuality it isn't a good trade off.
Neigal: I won't tell the others.
Bile: Hm?
Neigal: Well?
Bile: ...I didn't expect you to strike a deal like this.
Neigal: So what do you think?
Well, only one person know about it is fine...
Bile: Sure.
Neigal: You first.
Darn it.
Neigal: What's your deal?
Bile: ...Clairvoyance.
Neigal: !
Bile: ...That's it...
Neigal: ...Guess it's my turn to explain. My reason for becoming an adventurer is simple, I'm a medic, and I help people, so I become an adventurer and travel the world to help others.
Bile: That really is simple.
Neigal: It really wasn't a secret.
Well I screw up on that one.
Bile: Well... Why are you a medic?
Neigal: An ancient legend about a nurse.
Bile: Huh?
Neigal: Her exploit during the war leads to many life saved... And I feel inspired by that.
Such a story existed? Well it's not like I know everything.
Bile: I see...
Neigal: That's all...
Bile: Well it was nice talking to you, hope you can keep your end of the bargain.
Neigal: Don't worry, I will.
