Alfred who was injured them stood up to carry the prince away from the area. One of the guards died on impact while the one covers them as they run away. The three guards that were holding back the snake has already died almost like instantly with its monstrous crushing power.
As they almost arrive at the town, the basilisk killed one the guard that was a guard them. Alfred covers the crown prince with his body from the body while shaken by the basilisk intimidating eyes. As the basilisk tries to kill him, he closed his eyes with the hope of the crown prince's safety and his life is flashing before his eyes.
The wind breeze then calms from the tension of the snake and the sound of hissing has finally ended. Alfred opened his eyes and sees a beautiful lady who defeated the basilisk with an unknown spell in one hit.
"Are you okay? I shall heal both of you but you need to enter the town first so it'll be easier for you guys to rest",
" Sasha! Are you okay? Did you defeat the basilisk?", Gilbert asked me with a worried face. He is like a father that is overprotective over his daughter.
Alfred then passed out with a relieved expression because the crown prince is saved by me.
"I just barely saved them so could you please carry them to the town?", I asked for his cooperation
" Of course", he agreed to cooperate with me.
If I did not sense the basilisk earlier, they would already be its lunch. Thank god that I was able to help them with my half spirit body. This body has monstrous mana and I used a spell that consumes too many mana that any normal human would not have.
[AT THE TOWN DURING NIGHT]
"Ugh, my head hurts",
"Ah, Your Highness, you're finally awake",
" Alfred...are all of the royal knights dead?",
"Unfortunately yes",
The crown prince's expression then becomes sad and the mood then turns to silences.
" Ah, you're finally awake, are you hungry?", I asked them after entering the room to check their condition.
"Yes, we're sorry for the inconveniences that we cause",
" It's okay, it's for our first time customer, so it's on the house", I then went to the kitchen to cook and ready the food for both of them.
Alfred then whispers to the crown prince's ear "Should we tell her about our identity?",
" No, just keep our background as an adventurer, and most of our party members were wiped out by the basilisk", he replied.
When dinner is ready, their stomach is grumbling violently just because of the food scents and appearance. They then try to eat it slowly to taste the food called 'miso soup'.
'Miso soup' is a traditional Japanese soup consisting of a dashi stock into which softened miso paste is mixed. In addition, there are many optional ingredients that may be added depending on regional and seasonal recipes, as well as personal preference.
They were amazed by the food and started staring at me to analyze my appearance. Then they both nod together as if the agreed both of them agreed in something without denying it.
"Is this perhaps the famous restaurant that became a subject various places?", they asked
" If you mean the restaurant that was spread by the merchants and adventurers story, then yes since they always come in here often", I answered.
Then Gilbert enters the restaurant and orders a cup of alcohol to relieve his stress from the problems today.
"Are perhaps the person who rescues me from the basilisk?", he looked at Gilbert since he has a better physique.
" Ah, you're mistaken, the one who rescued us was this beautiful young lady", Alfred corrected the crown prince.
