Chapter 28 - Sewers

Next morning ~

I went to Voclain's mansion. Maid took me to the same study where he and Firuza were having tea.

Voclain " You are here. How was your time?" He asked me.

Usman" How about we get to the topic?" I said sitting on a sofa.

Firuza" See~ I told you." She said with proud look?

Voclain" Seems like it is." He said putting his cup on table.

Maid asked me some tea but I refused.

Voclain " Here is the map of sewers." He said giving me a paper.

Usman' Hmm, it's same as my map.'

Usman " Here! You keep it." I said giving it to Firuza.

Firuza" Do you want me to navigate?" She asked.

Usman" I have memorised the map but in case there are some differences in the sewers, I want you to mark the areas." I said.

Usman ' It's best way to hide my map now.'

Firuza " Got it." She said putting map in her bag.

Voclain" That's a good approach, considering the enemy is unknown." He said nodding.

After that we were taken to manhole where recent incident happened. I went in first. It was like a maize.

Usman ' Just like those animes.'

Firuza " AAAHHH!"

I looked up and she was falling on me. I was barely able to not fall in the sewer water. We fell on the wall side.

Firuza " I AM SORRY!" She said apologetically.

Usman" Please be careful." I said helping her to stand up.

Firuza" I will try..." She said standing up.

Usman ' Man~ She's like those voluptuous ladies in the manga.'

I looked around and it wasn't that bright. I could barely see.

Usman " Do you have a light spell?" I asked her.

Firuza" I can use ' Produce flame ' as a cantrip." She said.

Usman" Alright. Ignite this torch." I said bringing up the torch I progeted instantly.

Firuza " Wow! That was quick." She said using the spell to shroud her left hand in fire.

She ignited the torch but fire vanished.

Firuza " This is amazing! I didn't even feel the heat." She said looking at her hand with a smile.

Usman " Here! You hold it." I said giving her the torch.

Then, I held my bow and ready an arrow.

Firuza " I get it. You will watch out for enemies and I will both bring light and healing." She said seems to understanding my plan.

Usman " It is almost like that but first which spells you have?" I asked standing beside her.

Firuza" I can use 2 cantrips ' Produce flame and Druid craft ' anytime and I can use 2 1st level spell either ' Cure wounds ' or ' Detect poison and disease '. I can only reuse them after a short time." She said thinking?

Usman" Alright. We shall move together and I shall keep a watch for enemies. In case they are in large numbers, can you use produce flame as a range spell?" I asked her.

Firuza" I think, I can." She said with a smile.

Usman" Okay, let's go."

And we started our 'inspection' of sewers.
