Ch 116 — After All, We Prefer Meat

“I’m seeing more and more signs of people around . ” Fer said at a lunch break, four days after we left the city of Claire . “We’ll maybe get to Doran tomorrow afternoon . ”

“Tomorrow, really? That’s sooner than I expected . ” I looked at the map I had been given by Rodolpho-san, the head of the Adventurer’s Guild in Claire, tracing the route between that city and our destination, the Dungeon City of Doran . Had we really covered so much distance in only four days?

“Yes . I’ve been running faster than usual . ” Fer said complacently . So he’s in a hurry to get to Doran, a city with a Dungeon? I wonder why . Not .

“Doran at last?” Dora-chan commented . “It’s a pretty big city from what you’ve told me, I’m looking forward to seeing it . ”

“I’m looking forward to the dungeon-” Cute battle-maniac Sui-chan chimed in, saying out loud what I suspected the other two were really thinking .

But, a dungeon . . . is it really a good idea to rush headlong towards a place where monsters abound? I sighed . Because Fer, Sui and Dora-chan were all looking forward to going into the dungeon in Doran I’d have no choice but to accompany them . I’d need to be prepared though, safety first after all . I decided I’d need some more of Sui’s Deluxe High-grade Potion in case I got injured . I had Healing Mushrooms in store but Sui’s Deluxe High-grade Potion seemed to work better so I’d get her to make more of that for me . Hmmm, maybe it would be a good idea to make a variety of potions, the basic, intermediate and regular high-grade types too just in case .

“Sui? Can you do something for me?”

“This looks like a good place to stop for today . ” Fer said as he came to a halt . The sun was going down but it wasn’t really dark yet .

“Why?” I asked . “Will we get to Doran tomorrow if we stop now?”

“Yeah, easy . Earlier I figured we’d make it some time tomorrow afternoon but I’ve been going faster than I expected for some reason and even if we stop now we’ll get there before noon . ”

I could guess the “reason” Fer was hurrying towards Doran but had he really cut so much time off the trip? I wondered just how fast Fer could go if he didn’t have me on his back . Anyway if he said we’d be at Doran tomorrow then that was probably right .

“I’m hungry . Flying so fast like this all day long makes me hungry . ” Dora-chan said as he collapsed onto the ground beside Fer . I thought he had eaten his fill for breakfast, and lunch too come to think of it . Was he really hungry?

“That’s right . If you move so fast like this you burn through a lot of food . ” Fer firmly agreed . I suspected he was just over-eating but then again we had been travelling very fast . I’d give him the benefit of the doubt on that since I was simply freeloading on his back .

“Sui also got hungry -”

Sui-chan . . . Sui was also eating a lot but she had missed breakfast and lunch today, asleep in her bag .

“Food . ” Fer declared .

“Food, like the big guy said . ” Dora-chan agreed .
