Chapter 117 – 117.Last Member (4)
“Thank you. Then, let’s go to the clubroom together first.”
Lucas followed the Fortis group to Busil.
After arriving at the clubroom, the Fortis Group began introducing themselves one by one.
“Let me introduce myself again.” I am Lee Si-han, the manager of the Fortis Group. I am in charge of dealing with monsters using spears.”
“Ah, hello. I’m Pamela. I’m in charge of using magic and weakening monsters.”
“Heh! I’m Atsubal Genedic! All enemies under my magic will be struck by electricity and fall down! With my vast magic, I can wipe out minnows in one go!”
“What Atsuval just said is that wide-area magic is my specialty. My name is Shu Yeonhwa. You may already be famous, but I am responsible for the safety of the party by using the Shu family’s specialty! Protection Department! Of course! I also throw amulets and use this bridge. We fight monsters with this!”
“This is Adelia Raden. She is the second princess of Raden, but please do not burden her and treat her comfortably. With this sword, she uses a sword technique containing the magic of water to kill monsters…”
Atzval intervened during Adelia’s introduction.
“Aren’t you mainly in charge of skill enhancement? State your main role proudly!”
“I am a prosecutor from the beginning! This is my original responsibility! And the blessing of the record is definitely the will of the Raden family, so I cannot talk about it carelessly!”
“Isn’t it obvious that if you go to catch a monster once or twice anyway, it will become known?”
“Sometimes you have to save face.”
“Face…”
“What! Why are you looking at me like that, Atsubal? Even if you are a member of the same group, I can’t ignore that look!”
Pamela moved in front of the trembling Adelia and waved her arms.
“Ah, Adelia! Please calm down. First, introduce yourself! The time for self-introduction is not over yet!”
“Ugh. I’m sorry.”
“Myka, is it your turn?”
“Huh? Ah! I’m Myka! I catch the monster by hitting it with my fists and feet! Please take care of me!”
After the Fortis group’s introduction was finished, Lucas calmed his nervous heart and began to introduce himself.
“He… Is called Lucas Pond. AsMr. Sheehan said, he is capable of continuous recovery and strengthening of attack power. Also, he can use attack skills that mix magical power… And skills that greatly heal people other than sustain. He is still far from lacking. Please take care of my body.”
Nodding, Lucas bowed and greeted the Fortis Group.
“Yes! Please take care of me!”
“Well, please take care of me.”
“Let’s look forward to your future activities!”
“Please take care of me.”
“Ohhohohoho! Welcome to the Fortis Group!”
“Welcome, Lucas Pond. It may be temporary for now, but I hope we can continue in the future.”
“Yes, yes!”
Lucas couldn’t understand why Sihan Lee, the so-called hero, had such high expectations.
However, he performed well enough to live up to the expectations, and his desire and motivation to be helpful was welling up.
‘I can’t believe I’m joining the Fortis Group. Even though it’s temporary, I can’t show a shabby appearance.’
“So what are we going to do from now on? Training or taking on requests?”
“No, neither.”
“Are there any classes after that?”
‘Or are you really just gathering to scout me? It can’t be…’
Atsval gave the answer to Lucas, who was denied everything.
“I’ll do the request later! It’s massage time now!”
“Massage time?”
“Because I wasn’t able to get a massage right after eating, which is what I was supposed to get just because I was scouting you! Hey, Sihan Lee! Let’s get started!”
Atsval couldn’t wait to get Sihan’s massage and enjoy 15 minutes of good sleep.
“Okay. Then lie down in order.”
And what unfolded before Lucas’ eyes was a very shocking sight.
Kuuk!
“Hiaaaaa~!”
Kuuk!
“Haaaaa~!”
Kuuk!
“Uuuuu!”
Kuuk!
“Peck the captain’s hand!”
Kuuk!
“Khuuuuu!”
“What the hell is this… !”
Sihan massaging the Fortis group members one by one.
And everyone who received Sihan’s massage was screaming and smiling refreshingly.
For a moment, Lucas couldn’t understand what was happening in front of his eyes.
‘Could this be the true identity of the rumor that screams can be heard from the club room!?’
Lucas was witnessing the truth of one of the rumors surrounding the Fortis Group.
‘Hot! Why did I keep watching this?’
“Now, wait a minute, everyone! If you do this! If you do this, all the sound will leak out!”
“Don’t worry about that. There is a soundproof magic device, so there is no way it will leak.”
“Soundproof magic pottery?!”
“Isn’t it next to the bed?”
Looking directly at the direction where Sihan’s eyes were pointing, Lucas saw a soundproof magic pottery gently placed next to the foot of the bed.
“Have you even prepared a soundproof magic pottery?”
“At first, of course, it wasn’t there. But we installed it following the advice of Professor Delt, who came to us after complaining about strange noises coming from the clubroom.”
“Well, I see.”
“Okay, it’s your turn next. Get down quickly.”
“Yes!? Me? Why am I…”
“You too are a member of Fortis now. Come on, try my massage.”
“Oh, no. I haven’t really trained like you, so there’s no need to receive it…”
“Ohhohohoho, don’t say things like that, just give it a try.”
“Yes. If you receive it, you will definitely see the world differently.”
Yeonhwa and Adelia grabbed Lucas’ arms as he backed away and led him to the bed.
“W-Everyone!? No, I’m really fine! You don’t have to do this!”
“Then let’s begin.”
Kuuk!
“Ahh—!”
At the same time that an intense coolness came, Lucas ‘back his arched like a bow.
***
After receiving the massage, Lucas rested together in the club room for 20 minutes and then headed to Vitus with the Fortis Group.
‘There are such refreshing massages in the world…’
Even while moving, Lucas could not forget the feeling of Sihan’s massage.
A feeling as if the very root of stiffness was being ripped open.
As Adelia said, the feeling of naturally gaining strength in the body and then melting away like cotton candy a few seconds later was like feeling like the world looked different.
The only time Lucas came out of that dazed thought was after writing down his name, using his transfer thread, and moving to Vitus.
“Wow, this is bitters.”
For Lucas, who had never been to another country other than Raden, which he was familiar with, Vitus was a very exotic and mysterious place.
Rather than having buildings erected here and there like in Raden, houses in harmony with nature, built on trees in a style similar to that seen in Raden, or houses built using only the resources of the forest as if receiving the blessings of nature itself, attracted Lucas’ attention.
As a bonus, the environment is slightly more humid than Laden.
“It’s Bitters! It’s Suzar! We have a house too!”
“You mean Maika’s house is also in Suzar?”
“That’s right!”
“Lucas, first of all, to see your skills, today I will take on a request to subdue a nearby mud goblin. Is that okay?”
“Yes!”
Lucas’s answer was cheerful, perhaps due to the refreshing massage that relieved his usual fatigue.
After receiving the request from the Adventurer’s Guild, Lucas thought he was going straight to the bus stop.
However, contrary to Lucas’ expectations, the place they headed to was a stable.
‘Stall? Could it be that they are traveling as a group on horseback? I heard you had a lot of money, but renting a horse to ride? Ah, but…’
“Hey, Mr. Sihan.”
“What is it?”
“I’m sorry. I can’t ride a horse yet… But I’ll work hard to learn from now on!”
“… ? We are not looking for a horse to ride.”
“Yes?”
“We are looking for a horse to pull a carriage.”
“Pulling the carriage… What do you mean?”
What happened next was beyond Lucas’ imagination.
Perhaps because he had used it several times, the stable owner said, ‘If it’s a horse you usually rent, it’ll be fine, right? Thank you for always using us.’ He said and quickly lent the horses, and Lucas was shocked to see Sihan take out the carriage.
‘The carriage is stored in a subspace ring!’
Moreover, the carriage taken out was large enough to be used only by wealthy nobles.
With a dazed mind, Lucas got into the carriage and, quite naturally, Atzbal took on the role of coachman.
Pamela spoke to Lucas, who was so shocked that he was dazed in the carriage.
“Lou, Mr. Lucas? Are you okay?”
“Huh? Ah, yes! I… I was a little shocked and out of my wits. I didn’t know that they would let me borrow a horse to pull my own carriage.”
“I understand you’re surprised. We’re probably the only ones who actually operate a carriage like this.”
“Ohhohohoho, this is also thanks to Sihan’s luck in having a very large subspace ring.”
“I see… I see.”
“Oh, Sihan. Now that I think about it, I didn’t tell Lucas that. That’s why we need someone who can use divine power.”
“I was just about to say that because I was moving.”
‘Why do we need people who use divine power?’
Lucas’ ears perked up at the topic that was suddenly brought up.
“Lucas Pond. It’s true that I’ve had the intention of scouting you for a while. Actually, I was planning to take it a little more leisurely, but… Circumstances arose and I came to see you today in a hurry. “
“What’s going on?”
“That’s…”
The story that came out of Sihan’s mouth was enough to make Lucas’ heart beat.
The holy water runaway incident caused by the Chaos Church that occurred in Raden.
Similar to that incident, the Chaos Church’s tricks are taking place in Beatus again.
And the existence of the so-called chaos stone that destroys the forest environment and even attracts monsters.
Since the only thing that can purify the chaos stone is divine power, which is contrary to the power of chaos, I heard the entire process that was necessary.
That process was exactly the ‘special’ thing that Lucas had initially hoped for.
Strictly speaking, it is not something special about oneself, but something special about the situation that is currently happening, but it is an incident involving the Chaos Church that denies the Goddess of Creation and is operating in secret in the world.
Lucas was very excited that he could help in that case.
I felt like I had become a character in a fairy tale I loved as a child.
That’s why Lucas shouted with sparkling eyes after hearing the whole story.
“I will do my best!”
