Chapter 193

Chapter 193. Post-Battle Cleanup

We cooperated with the dwarf warriors to defeat the horde of monsters. Now it’s time for post-battle cleanup.

To be more specific. That involves checking for damage and using healing magic.

First, let’s check the damage from the recent battle.

My HP is now at 210/252, and Griffin’s HP has decreased to 256/350.

That’s 42 points of damage for me and 94 points for the griffon.

We took a hit from Flame Skull’s fireball and 3 blasts of Hellhound’s fiery breath.

I have to note that unlike me, Awakened One who can enhance my combat abilities with equipment, the monsters I’ve tamed can’t do the same.

Also, unlike me, I turn into magic stones immediately when its HP reaches zero.

I’ve grown somewhat attached to this Griffin, and want to avoid that fate at all costs.

Speaking of attachments, I’ve been thinking about giving it a name, but I still call it Griffin.

Kazane-san and Yuzuki call it “Gri-chan”, and if I were to name it, maybe something like “Gri…Gri?”

That would sound like a pair of pet mice.

With the adjustment, maybe Gri-suke, Gri-pon, Gri-rin.

Hmm, none of these seem quite right.

I’ll put that on hold for now; I’m not very good at this.

For now, let’s focus on HP recovery.

I start by using [Earth Heal] on myself to restore my HP fully.

Then, I cast [Grand Heal], a higher-level healing spell, on Griffin, but it only restored 81 points, leaving it 13 points short of full health.

I have no choice but to use [Earth Heal] once more to completely heal it.

Hmm, relying on max HP for healing can be costly.

Griffin didn’t perform particularly well in this battle and was somewhat of a liability.

But [Tame] is a cheat-level skill since it effectively adds an extra member to our fighting force for just one skill slot, so I guess I can’t complain too much.

Now that healing is done, let’s do one more damage check.

I asked my kouhai who was watching nearby.

“Yuzuki, how much damage did my [Stone Shower] do?”

“Roughly speaking, it was about 40 points of damage to each of them. Hellhound has a max HP of 140, and Flame Skull has 90, so considering your magic power, this damage is pretty decent, isn’t it?”

I nod in agreement.

“I see, it’s decent indeed.”

My new spell, [Stone Shower] consumes 9 MP, which is quite substantial, but its area-of-effect damage is reasonable.

I’m not a magic-specialized like Yuzuki, and if I can achieve results on par with Kazane-san’s [Wind Storm].

That’s good enough for me. I’ll continue using it as the situation demands.

With healing and damage assessment complete, some dwarf warriors have approached us.

One of them steps forward and extends his hand for a handshake.

“We don’t know each other, but you saved us, traveling warriors. I’m the acting chieftain of the Dwarf Town Dagmahar, Grunba.”

The dwarf warrior extended his rough and sturdy hand before me. Since Yusefia-san seemed disinterested, I went ahead and shook his hand.

“I’m Rokusou Daichi. I was hired by the merchant Eslyn-san to come to this Dwarf Town, Dagmahar.”

“Eslyn…? Oh, could it be that girl from the human tribe? I’ve heard of her. But I don’t see her. Where is she?”

“We considered this an emergency and came ahead of the rest. She should be arriving shortly. Ah, there she is.”

“Hey, Daichi-kun! Are you okay?”

As I turned around, Kazane-san, Eslyn-san, and the others had just caught up with us, entering our field of view.

At the forefront, Kazane-san was vigorously waving her hand.

However, it seemed they still had a little way to go before reaching us.

In the meantime, Yusefia-san asked the dwarf warriors.

“More importantly, I can’t see Bargamund anywhere. What happened to him? If he were here, that horde of monsters would have been no trouble.”

Yusefia-san’s words were probably her usual manner of speaking, but they seemed somewhat haughty when directed at the warriors.

The frowning expressions on the faces of the dwarf warriors confirmed this.

The dwarf warrior who introduced himself as the acting chieftain responded with a hint of skepticism.

“Who are you, Dark Elf girl? Referring to our chieftain in such a way doesn’t sit well with me. We’ll thank you for your help, but whether we overlook disrespect to our chieftain is another matter.”

“Oh, those troublesome dwarves, as always. They’ve always been stubborn.”

“What did you say…? I know that Elf have been proud from ancient times, but girl, if you insult us, you must be prepared for the consequences.”

“Oh…? Are you suggesting that you can defeat me? Very well, if you’re not afraid to lose your life—.”

“Wait, wait, wait, wait!”

“Stop, stop! Yusefia-san, what are you trying to achieve by treating the people you just helped as enemies?”

Yusefia-san and the dwarf warriors were about to clash, and Yuzuki and I hurriedly intervened.

Why…?

Why did things suddenly escalate to a fight like this?

Until Eslyn-san arrived, Yuzuki and I had to mediate between the seemingly hostile Yusefia-san and the dwarf warriors.

Why…? (′?ω?｀)

Let’s all get along, shall we?

I don’t think we need to uphold the tradition of Elves and Dwarves being at odds.
