Chapter 13 - chapter 13 going to war or not?

Arriving at the border entrance/exit, lux and hayato with their swords tried to find Tommy and others' location and it didn't take them long to find their location.

Tommy noticed the arrival of the two and waved at them while calling their names.

Lux and hayato immediately run towards Tommy after hearing his voice.

Arriving in front of Tommy, Tommy asked them why they are late. "Why are you guys late?"

"Said the guy who just suddenly made an unexpected event," said hayato as he was annoyed to hear Tommy's voice.

"What do you mean? I send it on the discord server about what were going to do today and everyone agreed, only two of you didn't reply" Tommy explained.

"What, I didn't receive any-"

"Stop it"

Just when hayato is about to complain, lux stopped him and showed him the screen of his phone. Hayato looked at the screen and realized that it's written on the discord server.

"What? Don't tell me both of you didn't read it"

"....." Lux and hayato did not respond after hearing that.

What if we told you that we were being tortured during that time?

"Anyway, where are the others" asked lux after noticing that Tommy is the only one in front of them.

Tommy immediately explained. "Phil and David are finding a suitable quest for us, takeshi went to the market to buy survival foods while gallahan and Wilbur went to the place where people are selling herbs and potions, and I stayed here waiting for you two."

"Is that so, but, why do we need that much supply if we are just gonna hunt some weak monsters?" Hayato asked. if we were just gonna hunt monsters around the border then we don't need that many supplies.

"As I thought, you two did not read the message, well, whatever, we aren't just gonna hunt some ordinary monsters were going to war," said Tommy.

"War?"- surprised by Tommy statement

"Yes, that's right war, our first quest is to eliminate all goblins that invade the swamp village" Tommy explained the first quest.

"But, that village is way too far, traveling there would take a day," said hayato.

"Yes, that's why Aoki-san and kimura-san members of Yamato clan are coming with us using a vehicle so we don't need to worry about traveling there using our feet, so traveling there will be faster"-he said.

" wow, they actually prepared so much for this," said hayato after hearing Tommy's explanation.

Both lux and hayato finally understand, but lux feels that something is off and asked for more questions.

"If what you said is true, then there are still more quests that were going to finish after the goblins invasion and how many days would it take to finish it all?" asked lux out of curiosity.

"Yes, I don't know how many quests were going to finish but, David said that it would take four days to finish all the quests he's going to take."Tommy Answered.

"....."

Lux and hayato be like:

It's okay for them to go out hunting monsters but, if it takes days then both of them are dead, if somehow their mother found out about this, they are probably gonna get tortured again by that golden belt yesterday since they did not explain or left a letter before going out, and they can't just back out after coming here.

"Your face looks pale as if a ghost is hunting you down," said Tommy after noticing their expression

"Wait, what about school? We are only suspended for three days" said hayato after realizing this.

"We actually don't need to worry about that since it's Saturday and we don't have classes that day." Tommy replied.

"Oh"- hayato as he realized that they don't have classes that day.

After all those questions, the three remained silent while waiting for others.

...

Since they don't have to do something, they patiently waited for everyone to come back while lux is writing a letter explaining that they won't be able to go back for four days.

After a few minutes of writing, lux finally finished writing an explanation and immediately summoned an owl using magic and gave the letter to the owl.

With that, the owl departed shortly after giving the letter and location of the receiver.

They could have just sent it using a phone but, there is currently no wifi in their location.

(I know you can't see messages without wifi on discord but I changed the rules here)

"That animal Is cute, teach me how to summon an animal too," said Tommy after watching what lux did.

"Okay, let's do it later when we have free time." Lux approved to teach Tommy summoning magic.

While both of them are talking, takeshi appeared.

"You guys finally arrived," said takeshi while holding a box full of food, meanwhile Aoki and Kimura are fighting behind him.

"Why are they fighting?" Asked hayato.

"Well, those two are fighting because of a beautiful woman that walked nearby earlier." He replied.

"What a simp," said hayato in disappointment.

"What did you say!" Said Kimura and Aoki in angry voices.

"Stop it now, we need to put these foods inside the vehicle."- takeshi as he tried to stop them from fighting.

Kimura and Aoki decided to follow takeshi order since there's nothing to get if they fight with a kid.

While the three of them busy putting the food inside, David and others appeared and noticed that the two finally arrived.

(The vehicle: just imagine it looks like this)

"Since everyone is here, we have to depart now, I will explain the quests while traveling," said David while holding all the quests.

Everyone instantly nodded as they agree with David.

After putting all the materials inside, all of them immediately departed and headed towards their destination.

As they travel, David started to explain the quest one by one.

"So, our first quest is land retrieving, our goal is to eliminate all the goblins that invaded the swamp village. Goblins are not that strong compared to us but, we still need to be careful, their traps are more dangerous than their fighting skills and we are not the only ones who are gonna fight them, 15 parties were sent to the swamp village that consists of 5-10 people in each group and 1 guild that sent 3 members to defeat the goblins, their skills are enough and knows all information about the swamp village that's why they were sent there. The reward is 1000 gold coins." david explained the first quest and continued to explain about the next one.

'seeing the number of skilled people sent there just to retrieve a land, and the amount of reward, The number of goblins must be around 300 or at least 500,' is what lux thought after hearing David's explanation.

In this case, everyone should have started panicking but, they already know what their group capabilities are, especially david and lux who can annihilate hundreds of goblins alone, that's why none of them are scared about fighting dozens of them.

"Our next quest is dungeon investigation. Our objective is to explore the dungeon found in the deeper parts of the swamp forest. I accepted this quest since it's near the swamp village and this quest is also part of the investigation about the goblin's aggression, this dungeon is supposed to be a C rank but because of this, they rate it a B rank dungeon. There is a chance that we might encounter a strong monster like orcs but since we have some strong individuals with us, completing this task will be much more easier and the reward for quest completion is 5000 gold coins." After explaining the second quest, hayato asked a question."Sorry to interrupt you but, why did we bought so much food?"

"Oh, about that, the money we used for that is not ours, it was from the government given to us to help those people and warriors that need food supply after being trapped there"david answered Hayato's question that was itching his brain to ask out of curiosity.

After answering hayato David continued to explain the last quest.

" For our last quest, our task is just to help the recovery of the village there, the reward is 200 gold coins"

"Now let me give you the reasons why I chose all these quests, honestly these quests would most likely take a month to finish, but, after hearing the information about what's happening there, a strategy came into my mind to win the first quest easily, so let me tell you my strategy"

With that, david shared his strategy with everyone, after hearing his strategy most of them found it ridiculous but lux and gallahan approved David's strategy. Lux as a former warrior who experienced thousands of battles knew that this strategy would work against goblins, and gallahan with his smart brain can tell that it will work, but the real problem with this strategy is to convince the other group, most of them will probably disagree with this, but even if they disagree, they can still finish this quest easily in a day, just add 6-10 hours delayed on it if they disagree.

...

After talking about strategy, some of them fell asleep while others are talking about trivial things, the only busy person is Aoki, he's the one driving the car so he has to focus on the road or else a bomb might suddenly drop from the sky if he isn't aware of the surrounding area.

Lux is busy remembering the way and the entire area they passed by. Lux saw some good and bad scenery but didn't care about it if it was bad or good since it will be destroyed eventually after a long time.
