Chapter 41 : I Knew It! That Man Was the Mastermind!

Where is the corpse?
Did it sink to the riverbed?

No, the Slane River isn’t that deep.
Even if it sank to the bottom, we should still be able to see that giant corpse.

「Ehh? Was it evaporated by your light attack just now?」Rozelia

「I don’t think that’s the case. No matter how powerful my skill is, it’s not powerful enough to erase a giant monster like a hydra」Cecil

「So, what just happened, then?」Rozelia

「I don’t know… Oiー! I think the trap you made is defective!」Cecil

「How rude! There’s no gap for it to escape!」Hanna

「Really? There are gaps between each chain tho?」Cecil

「Are you dumb!? Look closely! The gaps were too small even for one Hydra’s head to come out. If you really think that giant monster could slip out of those small gaps, you’re a real, 100%, genuine DUMB!」Hanna

「Haahh!?」Cecil

「Haaaaahhh!?」Hanna

「「Haaaaaaaahhhh!!!??」」both

Even though there was a river between us, as usual, we glared at each other after arguing.

Cecil was still standing on the iron pillar I made. If I feel like it, I could make the pillar submerge, and she would lose her foothold.

Khu, khu. She doesn’t know I can make her sink anytime.

Should I do it? Should I do it nowー!?

「Geezー! Why do you guys always fight even at a time like this? We better find out where the monster went」Rozelia

「Mumumu!」Hanna

「Gununu!…….. Yeah, you’re right, Roze」Cecil

Uhh. Calm down, me! Don’t be swayed by emotions!

It’s frustrating, but this time, Rozelia was right.
We don’t have time to act childish like this.

「Alright, let’s go! That monster is wounded. It shouldn’t have gone so far!」Cecil

Cecil jumped off the iron pillar and landed on the base of the bridge.

The rapier user would acquire skills that could increase their agility as their rapier level goes up.
That’s why she could jump so far.
As for me, the ones that would increase were mainly strength and endurance, so I couldn’t jump that far.

I, I’m not envious, okay!?

Rozelia also used magic to make her body float, and descended behind Cecil.

Without looking at me, they immediately ran along the riverside, heading toward the upstream.

There were only two possible paths for the Hydra to escape to.
Upstream or downstream.

If the Hydra escaped downstream, it should have passed the drawbridge, so some of the carpenters would have noticed.
But, they didn’t say anything, so maybe that’s why Cecil chose upstream.

Well, logically, you will think like that.
However, I didn’t feel like chasing after those two.

In the first place, it’s strange that such a big monster suddenly disappeared.
And I think using logic to solve an illogical situation like this will end up with no result.
