「Then, first, why don’t we split up?」
A large number of people moving in succession was ridiculous, and since we have many people, it’ll be easier to divide the labor.
Everyone agreed with my opinion.
Including me, there were thirteen people.
And including Yoru who wasn’t here, it’ll be fourteen, huh.
Dividing everyone into three teams would be just right, wouldn’t it?
「For now, Amelia, Amaryllis, and the noncombatant group will stay here. As well as you.」
When I said those last words to Noa, she snorted.
I guess she knew without being told by me.
「Am I part of the group staying behind?」
Amelia asked this, pouting a little.
I knew that I was keeping Amelia away from the battles.
I thought that she would say that, so I gave her the reason I came up with beforehand.
「I want Amelia to defend this place together with Noa. if the base is lost, then that would be troublesome.」
When I said this with my hand on her head, Amelia smiled as if bashful, and reluctantly nodded.
Noa probably didn’t have to protect it.
It seems that she’s spirited enough to send the hero and the others flying.
「The remaining people will prepare the materials as well as any similar items specified by Noa. Let’s separate into groups, a battle unit that will acquire it from monsters, and a group that will salvage anything that seems usable from the passages that the former hero and others left behind.」
At least, the hero, Kyousuke, Zeal-san, and I would be in the battle unit.
Then, Ria who could erect barriers, Tsuda who could hold up a shield, Yoru who will be the getaway, and Kurou who will guide and appraise will secure the material in the passages, huh.
There might be less people in the battle unit than the other teams, but it would be better to decrease the number of people who have never cooperated together before.
At the very least, the three people could cooperate, and could make it through this forest.
「Battle unit, let’s go as soon as the maintenance on your weapons has been completed. You guys, I would like it if you waited until Yoru returned.」
「Then, what happened to the person himself. It seems that he hadn’t appeared since before we entered this forest.」
Kurou muttered.
Looking at everyone, it seems that Amaryllis was the only one who hadn’t noticed Yoru’s absence.
For better or worse, other than in the field of pharmaceutics, she was a normal woman.
「Aah, Yoru is currently heading here using a different route than the one we used. The main reason is that it was Amaryllis’ request though….」
When I glanced at her, she shrank back when the others’ gazes landed on her, and hid behind Ria.
It couldn’t be helped, I explained how the reinforced humans who killed Commander Saran were the soldiers who took the “strengthening drug” that she refined, how she was one of the winners of that pageant, and how she was forced by the beastman Gram to make the drug.
I’ll keep the fact that, when I said that, Ueno’s face immediately paled, in the back of my mind.
「Amaryllis has yet to make the remaining antidote for the ‘strengthening drug’, so she came along. It seems that she needs the medicinal herb that grows somewhere further south, so Yoru is going to go get it right now. …since you’re here, teach Hosoyama and the others how to heal people.」
I glanced at trembling Amaryllis who was curling herself up even more, and looked at the hero and the others who were checking their weapons.
「So, can we set out immediately?」
「Of course. What about you?」
I laughed scornfully at the hero who cheekily retorted, and I pulled out “Yatonokami” that had become two daggers.
「I don’t need maintenance, I’m always prepared.」
It’s obvious when in the dungeon, but the monsters never wait for me to prepare.
