**Episode 059: Familiar Master Ilk is Watching**
“Chiiii!!”
“Piiii!!”
Lily and Prue shot towards the Harpies at once. With Prue securely fixed to Lily’s body, flying seemed unhindered.
“Pyuiiii!!”
Harpies attacked the two who intruded into their territory.
“Chh!!”
“Pippi!!”
Lily breathed out Fire Breath to distract them, and Prue fired Poison Shots.
“Pyuwa!?”
The Harpies, surprised by the unexpected attack from what appeared to be a single entity (Lily), were caught off guard and suffered the attack. Their faces turned pale, and due to the poison, they became unable to fly, falling to the ground. The Harpy that fell from a height crashed headfirst and died instantly. The effect was outstanding! I was delighted with the results beyond my expectations.
“Chicchicchicchicchicchicchic”
“PippiPippiPippiPippiPippiPippiPippi”
The two passed through the frozen Harpies.
Leader Harpy, attempting to stop them, sent more companions.
“We won’t let you!!”
“Not so fast!!”
“Quu!!”
To prevent interference, El shot arrows, Luna and I cast spells to block their path, delaying Lily and Prue.
During this time, Lily and Prue relentlessly attacked the Harpies, causing them to fall one after another.
Before we knew it, nearly half of the Harpies had been defeated by the combination attack of the two.
Unable to focus solely on ground targets, the Harpies became vulnerable. The leader hesitated on whether to concentrate on Lily and us, and coordination among them broke down. Our magic began hitting them, and they continued to crash to the ground.
At this point, we could say we had escaped from the critical situation.
“Lily, Prue!! Finish off that one!”
“Chiiii!!”
“Piiii!!”
For the final touch, I ordered them to dispose of the leader.
“Pyurorororo!!”
Seeing the approaching duo, the leader Harpy tried to escape but couldn’t outrun Lily, lifted by enhanced magic and encouragement from Lita.
“Pii, pii!!”
Easily closing the distance, Prue’s combination of poison and sleep sent the leader crashing.
With the loss of their leader, the remaining Harpies scattered. Fearing us, they fled in all directions.
“Chii!!”
“Pii!!”
“No need to pursue them! Lily, Prue!”
Despite their eagerness to chase, I stopped the two.
Our main goal was to escort. The most important thing was Pedro’s safety and fulfilling the mission. Our objective wasn’t to exterminate monsters; there was no need to jeopardize the escort.
Leave that kind of job to the knight order.
The two descended to where I was.
Lily rested on my raised arm.
“Thanks, both of you. Great job.”
“Chii!!”
“Pipipii!!”
As I petted them, they happily chirped.
“Good job, everyone.”
“Yes, somehow we managed to survive without dying.”
“Really. When we were surrounded by so many Harpies, I thought I was prepared for death.”
“I’m useless against flying monsters, so it’s frustrating.”
Returning to everyone and addressing them, they responded with expressions of relief. However, no one brought up the topic of familiars other than Lily. Keeping it hidden meant they didn’t want it probed. Investigating mercenaries’ abilities or pasts was strictly forbidden, and I couldn’t help but respect their adherence to that.
“Pedro-san, rest assured. We repelled the Harpies.”
El called out to Pedro, who was crouched and worn out.
“Oh, thank you. Thanks to you, I escaped with my life…”
“Hehehe. The request isn’t over yet.”
“Ahahaha. That’s right.”
As Pedro spoke as if the request had already ended, El teased him, and he scratched his head with embarrassment.
Afterward, without any significant events, we reached the city at our destination.
During the journey, Pedro, with an eager expression, tried to dig deep into my abilities, but I casually brushed it off.
“Well then, we’ll depart tomorrow morning, so feel free until then.”
“Understood.”
We became temporarily free at the inn.
“What’s everyone going to do?”
“After that battle, it’s only natural to take a good rest.”
“Same here.”
“Me too.”
Everyone seemed mentally exhausted, choosing to rest in their rooms.
“What about Ilk?”
“I’ll explore this town a bit.”
“Got it. Be careful, and remember the request isn’t finished yet.”
“Roger.”
While being reminded of the ongoing request, I ventured into the city.
I haven’t explored much outside my hometown and the capital, but the city of Alvesta is quite lively as it serves as a key transportation hub.
“Hey there, sir, would you like to take a look?”
Casually ridiculing the stalls, I was approached by a man.
“What is it?”
“I’m doing a Monster Egg lottery. One try for 50 silver coins. How about it?”
Upon inquiring, I learned that all the eggs displayed at his shop were Monster Eggs, and there’s even a chance to get a C-rank Monster Egg.
The surprise lies in what hatches. Some monsters may become affectionate if raised from eggs, but taming depends on the person’s capacity, and volatile monsters pose a danger.
It’s an interesting business, but I wonder how he thought of doing this. It’s quite expensive too.
“Well, I’ll give it a try.”
“Oh!! Really! Thank you!”
Accepting the offer, the man smiled happily.
“Alright, I’ll choose this egg.”
I paid 50 silver coins and selected one egg.
The man might think he cleverly deceived me, but I didn’t see it that way.
