Chapter 307
The sounds of roasting meat . Lively talk and laughter .
It was not what you might expect to hear on the frontlines . Well, the reason for all of it was me, I suppose .
Adlus had all of the Adventurers gather around and we shared the supplies . Today was special, and Adlus declared that we’d have a barbecue . Some of the boxes had wine in them, and so we enjoyed ourselves as the guards who were on watch duty glared angrily .
Daniela’s barrier also meant that the smell did not leak from the area . The unlucky few who were excluded from the party had to stand on the wall and kick the snow .
“Sorry that you have to stay out here in time like this . ”
“Mister Asagi… No, it’s part of the job . ”
“Well, don’t get too sulky . Eat this . I cooked it myself . ”
“…It looks pretty good . ”
“It doesn’t look good, it is good . ”
I went around like the good and considerate host that I was . And before I knew it, the sun had set . It had been a while since we had been able to get drunk . Those who could, went and collapsed in their tents, while others took turns guarding the walls . As for me, I activated Legs of the God Wolf and headed off to Namila Village . I couldn’t help but be worried . And so I decided to check up on them and then come straight back .
I had regained most of my strength . Maybe I wasn’t back completely, but as long as I maintained a normal speed, I could fly for a long time without really getting tired . And so it didn’t take me too long to reach Namila Village .
The chief’s house was a little towards the back of the main square . I could see a dim light pouring from the windows . It was likely candles .
When I got closer to the house, I saw footprints on the snow . They came from the forest and went around the house once before going inside . Marcel and Silket . There were also soft voices and laughter coming from inside . They seemed to be getting on well .
And so I let out a whistle . The voices suddenly stopped and the door opened slowly .
“Good evening . I came to check up on you . ”
“Mister Asagi!”
It was Silket who opened the door . Marcel was right behind her and holding a sword .
When I peeked in, Felz was sitting behind a chair and wrapped in a blanket .
“Oh, it’s Mister Asagi . ”
“Hey . I hope you were behaving yourself . ”
“Yes!”
I tapped my shoes on the ground, shaking off the snow, before stepping inside . Marcel let out a sigh of relief as she sheathed her weapon .
“You gave me a fright!”
“Sorry . I kind of did come without a warning . ”
“Exactly . But I suppose you were concerned about us . Thank you . ”

Silket said with a smile .
“Well, I feel indebted to you . See?”
“Oh…!”
“That looks delicious!”
I opened the hollow bag and took out the grilled meat, vegetables and fish . Of course, they were from tonight’s barbecue . I had brought some with me to show my appreciation to them .
“This is from the stuff your father prepared . I cooked it myself . There’s a lot, so eat up . ”
“Thank you!”
“Thank you!”
Felz and Marcel jumped on the meat . Silket looked a little started .
“Uh, thank you . You really didn’t have to…”
“It’s fine . Like I said, it’s thanks to you . I’ll be watching outside, so you can take it easy and enjoy the food . ”
“Thank you . I suppose I will . ”
I nodded and Silket headed to the table . After seeing her go, I went to the door and stepped outside . It was a clear, cloudless sky . There wasn’t even any wind . Just a comfortable chill .

It was on such nights that goblins might lurk in the shadows . They might gather into a gang and attack this village once again . They would kill everyone . No . I wouldn’t let such a thing happen . Never .
“Phew…”
I sighed and then concentrated, spreading out Presence Detection . Like a crape, it spread out thin and wide .
Through the snowy fields and the forests .
As I was spreading it out so thin, I could not differentiate monsters from animals or people . I only knew if something was there .
“Hmm…”
I inhaled the cold air through my nostrils . It did wonders for waking up your brain .
“…I guess that’s it . ”
After searching for a while, I was unable to find anything suspicious . At least for now, there was nothing in this area . That was a great relief .
On such a cold night, the animals were all in their holes and the goblins were far away . Any that might be on the surface had been killed by the Adventurers…
Besides, things were looking bad in the abandoned city . I doubted they’d be sending goblins out during this time .

“Mister Asagi?”
“Uh, yeah?”
“We finished eating all the food… Is something wrong?”
I hadn’t even noticed Silket opening the door . She was now looking at me with a curious expression .
“No, it’s nothing . There’s nothing around here . So it should be fine for a while, don’t worry . ”
“You’re sure doing a lot for us . ”
“It’s really nothing . I should be thanking you . ”
I chuckled . And it was true .
“Oh, here’s some more food . I’ll leave it for you . Take good care of him . ”
“Of course . It pains me that we can’t be out with the others during the battle . But rest assured that we will be fine . ”
“Yes, I’m counting on you . Well, good night . ”
I left a box with them and returned to the frontline . I was thinking about returning to the abandoned city tomorrow . I wanted to end this battle soon… In fact, if I could launch an ambush, I would do it right away .
For Felz, and the village, and the citizens of the city . And even for the Queen’s Knight Goblin who died .
I wanted to end the goblin stampede .
