Late at night I snuck out of the inn and went to Tiros alone.

I was on my toes as I walked next to the walls.

Unexpectedly I heard a sudden gunshot from far away.

And in the next instant I felt an impact run through my right hand.

?!!

I had already cast Safe Protection so I didnt sustain a lot of damage.

I focused on the place where the gunshot had co from and inside a building I saw a hiding Lucky Rabbit.

Oh guardian of the earth. Envelop and let thou beco an armor to protect Safe Protection

I closed the gap between and the Lucky Rabbit as I cast the chant.

There are no attacks from my surroundings.Since theres only one then everythings fine.

It happened just as the Lucky Rabbit had already loaded the next bullet and pointed the muzzle at .

I pointed my hand towards my feet and cast Black Rush.

A curtain of snow rose up, which concealed my body.

There were no signs of a gunshot. Due to the snow the Lucky Rabbit wasnt able to get a good aim at .

This was an effective thod to deal with long-ranged enemies.

I used this opportunity to close the gap between us.

After I exited the snow curtain I saw the bewildered Lucky Rabbit.

The point where it had missed its shot due to not being able to get a good aim on its opponent was the ti where it had already lost.

Its over.

I put my hand on the Lucky Rabbits body and cast Ti Square.

During the period of Ti Square I cast Green Rush twice.

Double Spell Synthesis Double Green Rush

The sound of tal being crushed rang out and the Lucky Rabbits body warped in a strange shape. It turned into a lump of tal and disappeared just like that. Hunting a long-ranged opponent like the Lucky Rabbit was fun because it had just the right amount of tension attached to it.

Still, without Shirushu its hard to find enemies

It was tireso to have to spend a long amount of ti searching for enemies.

And since Claude wasnt here to assist it was hard to use Steal as well.

Either way, its not bad to do sothing like this from ti to ti I said while whispering. It was then that it happened.

I saw Silverie appearing from one of the street corners.

We both jumped up with surprise.

Whoa?!!If it isnt you S-Silverie?!

Zeph!

I didnt think Id et her in this place and at this ti.

W-What a coincidence Zeph! To think that wed et like this

Silverie sohow seed kind of strange. Her tone sounded really unnatural.

Could she have co here intentionally?

Are you hunting as well Zeph?

Yea. I sotis go out and hunt alone during the night like this.

I knew it Ah, its nothing

?

She really does seem strange.Oh well.Im lucky that I got to et her.

So Silverie, how about hunting together?

Might as well. Silverie responded enthusiastically as I followed her and we continued our hunt.

Kuro. Co out. whispered out Silverie and a black snake coiled itself around her arm.

Silveries familiar Kuro had a top-notch searching ability which allowed it to sense any enemy movents in an area.

Lets go.

Sure.

After exchanging a few words, and Silverie progressed through the snow.

But still, being able to walk side to side with her like this reminds of the past.At that ti, I was still a novice magician, but now Ive probably grown to a point that Im able to stand side by side with Silverie.

While I was thinking that I looked up at Silveries face and noticed that her eyes had narrowed.

A monster.

Kuro faced East and opened its mouth in intimidation.

Before it a Lucky Rabbit could be seen.

It seems like it still hasnt noticed us. So it has an even wider detection range than the Lucky Rabbits that already have quite the big range to begin with

While admiring the level of Kuros detection ability I dashed off.

The Lucky Rabbit noticed and pointed the gun towards , after which it pulled the trigger.

A bursting noise rang out and the bullet grazed my cheek.

Miss. I whispered as I cast Black Sphere.

Blades of wind ford and slashed at the empty space. The Lucky Rabbit had already disappeared and in its place only a single screw could be seen laying on the ground.

In the distance I saw the light of a spell disappear in thin air.

Silverie had cast a spell. Her spell had been able to take down the Lucky Rabbit before mine.

She then put the hand that had cast the spell back into her coat.

However, I could see fresh blood dripping at her feet.

Upon seeing that I unconsciously rushed back to her.

Silverie, are you okay?! Why didnt you use Safe Protection!

Because its not necessary. Dont make such a fuss.

Just let see it!

Silverie seed uninterested as I took out her hand and folded back her coat.

Just as I was about to cast healing my hand stopped. That was because I saw that Silveries familiar Kuro was licking her wound.

And in just an instant the wound closed up.

See, I told you. Sothing like this will heal just by licking it. I rarely suffer any wounds so its fine.

B-But

Safe Protections magic power consumption is great. In this kind of hunting place, its more efficient to use that magic power on attacking. Well then, lets go. said Silverie without letting answer.

In a sense what she was saying was correct. Still what was she planning on doing if sothing bad ended up happening.

She really is careless.

Good grief, dont make worry that much I said quietly. Silverie was walking before when she suddenly stopped.

You were worried about ?

Of course.

About I see she started mumbling sothing. She then suddenly turned towards .

I got it. Ill use Safe Protection from now on.

T-Thats great

Its fine as long as she understands but Silveries not the type of person to listen to my words so easily.I feel like she changed after that accident at the snow mountain.Did she perhaps eat sothing bad?Either way, it will be bad if I ruin her mood, so Ill just change the topic.

By the way, was that thing that you used just now Black Zero?

Yes.

When she defeated the Lucky Rabbit I felt a violent wind blow next to , so I had thought that she had probably used that spell, and it seems like I was correct.

However, there was one thing that I couldnt put my finger on.

Wasnt the activation way too fast? Black Zero usually needs quite the long chant in order to use it

Im decked out with cards that reduce chant ti. After all, if I am to hunt in this place, where there are strong monsters, as well as annoying monsters that can attack from long-range, its more efficient to cut the chant ti and take them out in a single sweep with a single Great Spell. Black Zeros chant usually consists of four bars which each take close to four seconds to chant. However, with the chant reducing cards I can lower that to one bar allowing to chant it in only eight seconds. And if my magic power runs dry I can always drink a recovery potion and fill it back up.

I see, thats indeed so

I always specialize my equipnt for the hunting spot that Im going to. It does cost money, but that way its more efficient, wouldnt you say so?

Silverie unusually beca very talkative when she tried to answer my question.

She was the type that beca very talkative when it ca to battle or magic.

I just kept nodding and listening to her talk excitedly.

In the previous world when Silveries mood had been bad, or when she had grown tired of a certain topic I could always co back to either of those topics to cheer her up.

Until when will you be free today. I asked her.

I dont have anything else to do.

Is that so, well then what do you say about staying with for the whole day?

Okay. whispered Silverie.

I see.I finally feel like I got it.In the past Silverie seed like the type of person that hated people, however now she seems like shes actively trying to get closer to them.Did she change this much because she t I wonder?Now it might be okay even if I call Milly and the others.The sun is beginning to show so Milly and the others should wake up soon. I should try and call them via Telepathy.

Hey, is soone up?

Zeph-kun! Are you hunting alone again today?

Yea, Im in the usual spot. I want you all to co after youve woken up.

Understood.

It seed like Claude was the only one that was up.

Well its still early so I guess its normal.Still, I guess that the others will wake up soon as well.

While I was talking to Claude using Telepathy Silverie took the ti to use Black Zero and take down another Lucky Rabbit.

I used the chance to use Scout Scope just as the Lucky Rabbit died and noticed that it had sustained damage that was just a bit over its total Magic Power.

Silverie was probably controlling her spell in order not to cause too much excess damage.

While following behind her I was thinking that despite her being quite ticulous about those things, her lifestyle was still quite sloppy.
