When Peaceful Times Cease To Exist : The Fairy And Great Beasts Of The Prairie, Part 3 — Southern Prairie

「The wind has—— changed.」

 

A girl standing halfway across the prairie mutters to herself.

She has a beloved horse by her side and is stroking its mane.

The horse, too, sensed the change in her master’s condition, and the horse, who usually leaves the petting to the horse, looked at her master with concern.

 

「You don’t have to worry—— Is what I would like to say.

Unfortunately, I am anxious too.

I’ve never felt wind like this… What on earth is going to happen to this Prairie」

「Are you worried…」

 

The girl’s question, which could be a soliloquy, is answered by a low voice coming from nowhere.

The girl seems to hesitate for a moment, but then responds clearly in a dignified voice.

 

「Yes, a little.」

「How do you feel about this wind」

「It’s kind of like a wind that pushes everything away… very intense, but also gentle.

To be honest—— I don’t know.」

「I didn’t know you said that.

Do you know the cause」

 

The voice also asks with some concern.

 

「Not yet.

But we, too, will not remain irrelevant.」

「I’m sure you’re right.

However…」

「Yes, everything is subject to the Will of the Prairie…」

 

The girl with her long, beautiful green hair, letting the wind blow through her hair.

It was the middle of summer, but a strong wind was already blowing, as if to herald the arrival of the storm season.

「I–It’s hot~ Miranda~」

「It’s because you’re wearing long sleeves, Alfie.

I told you before… it’s getting too hot to watch, so take it off already.」

「Don’t get carried away and take it all off.」

「Am I a lascivious woman」

「Not much difference, is there」

「H–Harsh…」

 

The group of Alfiris ride through the Prairie on horseback, taking in Lisa’s terrible prodding.

 

「Alfiris-san, please leave Fenna alone to take off her clothes.

I’ll have nowhere to put my eyes.」

「Is there something wrong with my outfit, Kazas-san The Seeker dresses like this in the summer.」

「No, most beastmen are thinly clad, but I’m not so sure about you, Fenna.」

 

Nia’s rush was no help.

Fenna had already changed into very light clothes because it was too hot, and she took advantage of the fact that she was not being seen much after entering the Prairie.

She has changed from the long, somewhat princess-like one-piece dress she usually wears in town to a mini-skirt/tank top outfit.

Moreover, the fabric is quite thin and snug.

The outfit was in contrast to Alfiris, who wears long sleeves to hide her curse mark even in mid-summer.

The Prairie is relatively far north on the continent, and the heat is not that severe because of the cool breezes that often blow from the Pirevos, which is fortunate for Alfiris.

By the way, Fenna, a forest dweller, was not in the habit of wearing underwear, but as expected, Nia and Lisa managed to persuade her to wear only her underwear.

If it had been a women-only trip, it might have been somewhat acceptable, but this time Kazas was accompanying them.

However, Fenna changed her clothes in front of Kazas with impunity, causing Kazas’ nose to bleed and his head to turn in a strange direction when Miranda tried to force him to turn around, making the first time they entered the Prairie very difficult.

Fenna herself took no offense at all, so much so that Euthy was laughing so hard her stomach muscles twisted when she saw the scene.

 

「This is why I didn’t want a guy in this party… well, I don’t think this soft little guy can handle us.」

「Don’t worry, I will declare before I attack.

Please do not underestimate me.」

「I don’t know in what way you are tight.」

 

Miranda and Kazas are not getting along.

Seven days have already passed since they entered the Prairie, and it’s been like this.

As expected, they no longer cuss at each other as much as they used to, but it’s still a bit awkward.

Then, Euthy, who had been out scouting, returns.

 

「How was it, Euthy」

「It was alright~ As I said, there is no sign of fiends for the time being.

We’d rather avoid too many fiends and monsters, and we might run out of food.

We might want to kill some big game and replenish our meat supply before entering the north side.」

「Is that so… I’m sure we’re about to run out of the food we brought in.」

「We have enough food for 3 more days.

We have enough water.」

 

Nia checks on the food.

 

「Euthy, are there any animals on the Prairie that could be used as food」

「Wouldn’t it be okay if we hunted boar-type magical beasts I’m sure there’s a lot in the woods, but there’s a reasonable forest just a day or so from here.」

「That’s where I come in.

I can handle the tracking.」

 

Nia proudly puffed out her chest.

Her tail is also moving well.

Lisa, on the other hand, looks a little depressed.

 

「I’m sorry Lisa can’t help you… Sensors are really not helping here.」

「No~ You are simply not up to par, are you」

「That’s rude!」

「It’s true.

Because there are a lot of people who can use their sensor abilities here, too.

But I guess it still depends on the location.

Like you, the whole Prairie is a no-no, or a novice sensor line.」

「…I’m sorry to hear that, but now that Lisa is useless, Lisa has nothing to say in return.」

「Oh, you’re being honest, but it’s better that way.

You can’t make any progress if you don’t first honestly admit your shortcomings.」

 

Euthy was grinning, but Lisa was seriously considering what to do while she looked frustrated.

 

「(Oh, by the way…was it Lexus That guy also told me I was being naive…that there are still ways to use the sensor ability that Lisa doesn’t know about, I’m sure.

I guess it means that there is a limit to my own style, but how can I improve If only Lisa had someone like a mentor…)」

 

Lisa had been pondering ways to improve her abilities for the past several days since entering the Prairie.

In a situation where her sensors are completely useless, she is just a blind girl, unable to conduct her personal life, let alone fight a battle.

Now that it was discovered that magic could also seal sensor abilities, it was imperative for Lisa to improve her own abilities.

 

「(Here on the Prairie, I am a complete liability to Alfiris… I am reminded of how I was a frog in a well.

I don’t want to just bother these women.

I don’t want to be underestimated or cared for because I am blind.

In fact, I can’t even get rid of Alfiris at this point!)」

 

At the same time, Lisa’s worries may have been an expression of her desire to be friends and equals with Alfiris and her friends, but she was unaware of this.

I guess Lisa was not mentally mature enough to be that sensitive to her own feelings.

It could be said that she is insensitive to herself because she is a sensor that is sensitive to her surroundings and other people’s feelings.

 

***

 

But time passed without Lisa’s worries.

In the end, they killed a boar-type magical beast in the forest, and Alfiris, Lisa, and Nia took on the task of dismantling and gutting it, while the rest of the team went to collect plants and water in the forest.

With Fenna and Euthy, who knows a lot about plants, it doesn’t take much time, and Miranda mainly carries the stuff to the camp, while Kazas takes care of it.

 

「Good grief… Don’t make a frail maiden do such hard labor.」

 

Miranda carries the water, which must weigh at least 30 kg, all at once while complaining.

Today, she intends to use this water to make an impromptu bath.

A hole is dug at an appropriate depth and surrounded by wooden boards coated with a special bark to prevent water leakage.

Water is then poured into the hole and heated with a burnt stone or other object to complete the process.

It would have been fine to bathe in the water, but the night on the Prairie was cooler than expected, so it was difficult to bathe in the water unless it was daytime, and there seemed to be a large number of magical beasts and fiends that gather at that watering hole during the day, so there were quite a few footprints of various creatures.

However, all agreed that bathing was unbearable, so they decided to do something about it: they created a bath.

At a time like this, we were grateful for the presence of Nia, who had served in the army.

The first thing a soldier, human or animal, is usually trained in is how to march.

The march is not only about how to procure food and scouts, but also about how to secure a place to sleep.

Nia did an excellent job of making the baths.

 

「Well, I’m looking forward to the bath.『Onsen Surprise Grand Mission!』I wonder how much nosebleed Kazas get if I stick a naked Alfie in front of him I’m looking forward to it, kyah!」

 

As Miranda was thinking about her misguided plan, the sound that reached her ears suddenly disappeared.

Miranda’s serious expression returned to her face, and she lowered all of her belongings to the ground to warn others.
