At the guild of the new town, things go as usual but in a more rowdy way. Quests and quests, noisy and bustling.
"So while waiting for our princess, we should not idly sit by. Say, rubble cleaning after deconstruction of an inn?" - Darvic points
"You think that they need 4 four people?" - Mawra smirks
"Then how about this sewage investigation?" - Darvic points another
"Too dirty for me, I rather do searching for a wanted criminal in this town" - Mawra glances
"As if you have a searching spell, the only thing you are good at is offensive spells and defensive spells as offensive move" - Darvic loses patient
"You two are not fitted for seeking for quests. Let's just do a small quest of transporting woods from lumber camps and we should be done with it" - Polwil snatches the paper
"Not dirty, I am fine with it" - Mawra looks away
"Physical works are fine by me" - Darvic looks away too
At the counter.
"You four are fine with this work? It is not very well paid and very labor intensive" - The clerk glares
"We are waiting for someone to come and we will meet them tonight so we want a quick quest" - Polwil smiles
"Fine. Don't have beef with the lumberjacks. They are not in a very good mood" - The clerk smiles
At the lumber camp
"So there are four of you huh? The boys should go ahead and load up the logs. The girls should go deliver the water for the other now." - The foreman points
"Well, it is actually the opposite. The girls will load the logs and we boys will both deliver the water" - Polwil takes the water bags
"So you are saying that you are weaker than those girls who are the backline supporters while you boys, a vanguard and a fighter cannot do those heavy works?" - The foreman chuckles
Tiary lifts two logs four times her size onto the carriage and Mawra reinforces the carriage.
"I take that back. How the hell a white mage lift those things? Is she using a buff or…?" - The foreman is surprised
"That was supposed to be my gift but the old man just had a poor sight" - Darvic frowns
"So that means that is her natural strength?" - The foreman whispers
"Yes, she can lift a carriage with people or two" - Mawra glares
After the loading, the foreman gives them a signature on their paper.
When dusk comes, they arrive at the guild after delivering the carriage back.
At the tavern, during the evening.
"Your highness, what are you going to do?" - Polwil politely bows while sitting
"The reinforcement will come here soon. You and your people are safe here. I talked to the lord of this place this morning." - The princess holds her left eye worrily
"But her highness worries that they will come at a slow pace. They are currently at another continent" - Narva sighs
"I heard that we have the royal wyvern knights to escort them fast." - Darvic looks at Narva
"Even if the knights are available, I don't have the power to control them. They only follow the order who can defeat the captain in a duel. And I am far too weak compared to my brothers." - The princess wants to cry.
"For us Black Sheep party, what can we do now?" - Tiary looks around
"Conquer the southern dungeon. Be the first one to do so. There are valuables to take and much better toys for you all" - The princess shines with hopes
