Chapter 88 Request For Investigation
I, Leaf, work as an adventurer in the capital city.
A new member of the guild I belong to, Divine Gemstone, joined us. Delka-san, a demon.
A few days later, I rode on the back of Tai-chan, a Behemoth, heading towards a certain village.
Tai-chan has transformed into its original form, resembling a cat-like magic beast.
Riding on Tai-chan, who runs at a decent speed, are me and another person.
"How much longer until we arrive, Aerial-san?"
"Ababebebebebebebe!"
"Ababe?"
"I-I-I want you to lower the speed a little bit MOREEEEE!""
Sitting behind me is Aerial-san, also an S-rank adventurer.
This mission pairs me up with Aerial-san as buddies, with Tai-chan accompanying us as our mode of transportation.
The three of us received a request for investigation from Henrietta, who is the Guild Master.
That was yesterday——"SLOW DOWNNNNNN!" Oh, I forgot.
When I patted Tai-chan's stomach, she suddenly stopped.
Pop!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Aerial flew off at bullet-like speed.
WHOOOOSSHHH!
'What's going on?'
"Aerial-san is fast."
'But she's not really going that fast, is she?'
"Hey, wait... Aerial-san? Where did she go..."
I search for Aerial-san's location by scent.
I smell Aerial-san from the front! I command Tai-chan to go there, and there is the tattered Aerial-san!
"Is it an attack? Damn, who could it be!?"
"...It's, it's okay, it's not an attack."
"Is that so. Yes, here's the Elixir! Please take it!"
"Oh, th-thank you..."
Aerial-san receives the Elixir from me.
"You always casually make and give out super rare items..."
"Rare items? What do you mean?"
"Never mind... Phew."
Aerial-san spreads out a map from her pouch.
"At this speed, we should reach the target village in less than an hour."
Now then.
We are heading to the village for an investigation.
This is a quest we received directly from Guild Master Henrietta-san.
It seems that there have been many cases of people disappearing mysteriously in the surrounding villages recently.
It's a phenomenon where people suddenly vanish.
It's said that some dangerous individuals might be involved, which is why an S-rank request came in.
Moreover, the damage had spread considerably, just to be extra cautious, Aerial-san and I have teamed up as an S-rank duo to be buddies.
"We're heading to a small village in the northeast part of the capital city called Shibatashi. It seems that communication from there has been cut off recently."
"Shibatashi, right. Got it! Tai-chan, let's go!"
I hop on Tai-chan's back. However, Aerial-san looks pale and shakes hwe head vigorously.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm a bit... motion sick from going too fast earlier. I got it fixed with Elixir though."
"I see! Then please have this!"
I quickly create a small green candy with my Prescription skill.
"What's this candy?"
"It's motion sickness medicine! If you lick it, you'll have complete resistance to all abnormal conditions for a whole day!"
"Motion sickness... right?"
"Yes! Motion sickness is also considered an abnormal condition, isn't it?"
Aerial-san seemed tired as she let out a big sigh.
"You're really amazing. I always think that the S-Rank title is meant for monsters like you..."
"Monster!? Where is it? Let's go!"
As I prepared myself, Aerial-san let out another sigh and climbed onto Tai-chan's back. Oh no! She looks exhausted!
"In times like this, use an Elixir!"
"..."
"Oh, uh... Are you okay?"
Mercury-san would always jump in to help anytime, anywhere...
It seems like Aerial-san is really worn out.
I have to do something to help him! He's always taking care of us!
