[Arthur~!]
[Arthur, wake up!]
Hearing two familiar angelic female voices in his head Arthur knew the first one which was comforting belonged to Scarlet the second voice was slightly irritated definitely belonged to Yuki.
[Five more minutes you two!] Opening his eyes slightly Arthur said groggily before once again closing them ready to fall asleep.
[Scarlet, how about we get in the carriage and leave him here. I'm sure that he can find his way back if he isn't eaten by a magical beast by that point.]
[Yuki, you should not say that, Arthur must have gotten quite tired from everything he experienced yesterday.]
[What work, all he did was cast a few spells. It was the others who fought. Scarlet, he's just lazy.]
[... I'm not lazy. Also, if you're going to speak to each other via voice transmission, at least don't include me.] Arthur replied as he got up, he already knew there wasn't a carriage waiting for them. It was just Yuki being Yuki, but he still got up to help the others with cleaning up.
At least he wasn't the last to wake up as he looked at Jiang who had at some point left his sleeping bag (which compared to theirs was a single piece of leaf on the ground with a leaf on top of his body as a blanket) and was sleeping on the floor… face down…
Ren was currently on waking up Jiang duty, which after looking at him Arthur thought it was probably impossible.
Even after being kicked he refused to get up…
At that point Arthur didn't know whether to praise Jiang or not; his ability to sleep was truly commendable.
Scarlet: "Good morning, Arthur! I hope you slept well!"
Arthur: "Good morning to you too Scarlet. It was surprisingly peaceful. What about you? Did you sleep well?" [and Yuki]
Scarlet: "... I-I-It was nice."
Yuki: [Yes, nice and comfortable!]
With a weird ending to his greeting to the two girls done. Arthur walked over to Quan, butler Albert, and Leo who all seemed to be discussing their next course of action.
Quan: "Uncle Albert, I think we should continue staying here."
Leo: "I agree, if we were to move from here we would have to leave the Dragon Empire's armor and weaponry behind. If someone with evil intentions finds it would be bad. "
Butler Albert: "That is true and the people who are scheming in the shadows might come at a later date to check what happened here. Then let us ask what the young mi-"
"Good morning everyone!"
"Good morning!"
"Good morning!"
"Good morning young Arthur, did you sleep well?'
"Yes, surprisingly it was nice. The barrier was a very nice touch. What were you all talking about?"
"Whether we should start making our way towards the Vampire Kingdom or continue waiting here for a carriage."
"We were about to ask the young miss to make the final decis-'
But before Albert could finish Scarlet, who was standing next to the campfire which surprisingly was still lit, or maybe someone had rekindled it, screamed in delight.
"Uncle, there is no need to wait anymore."
"Young miss… then what shall we do about the armor and weaponry?"
"Uncle, do not worry, we can take the armor and weaponry alongside us. I do not wish harm to befall others."
"Scarlet, you do know that there is no way we can carry such heavy equipment especially with there being twenty sets?"
[Arthur, Yuki told me a merchant caravan with my family crest is coming our way from the Dragon Empire ]
[That's great news, do you know the merchant? Is he trustworthy?]
[Yes, he is someone my father and Uncle Edward trust quite highly and is responsible for main trade deals between the Vampire Kingdom and the Dragon Empire.]
Arthur, feeling he was being stared at, realized that to outsiders it looked as though he and Scarlet were staring at each other causing him to blush "There's a merchant caravan coming our way."
Jiang, who was previously sleeping and oblivious to his second brother's kicks, woke up as soon as he heard what he was waiting for.
"Finally, I can go home."
As for the others, they ignored Jiang and wondered how their young miss and Arthur knew a merchant caravan was coming their way.
Especially butler Albert who was the strongest he knew of his young miss's strength very well and it was not above his. So how would she know? Not that he would ever question her. As for Arthur, ever since they met he felt that the boy was very powerful, maybe even more so than himself. Last night when Arthur talked about his origins and how he found himself here in Gaia Forest shows his family background or at least his Grandfather was very powerful. As for how strong exactly, he did not know since he had never heard of Kokonoe Village. Even so, the fact that both grandson and grandfather possess spatial element could potentially mean that the Pendragon family are a lineage of spatial users. If his deduction was true it would be extremely shocking. With this event though he doesn't know how his young miss knows a merchant caravan is coming their way, but with Arthur's confidence when he told them proves that his Mana Sense is above his own.
