Women's World: I am the man with the most OP auxiliary class-Chapter 169: First Day of Quest; Teaming up with Dianeira, Aliens!
It is mark four of the day and we have been walking for half a mark through this forest of stone and rocks. Or, in the time of my previous life: eight in the morning.
The planning meeting in the morning was just laying out a map on the table and deciding which area to explore first.
After choosing and marking the area where the ancient ruins are believed to be most likely to be, we ate a very filling breakfast, rich in protein and fat.
The ice and snow season is approaching. You can say that we are in the middle and end of autumn. The Human Kingdom shares the northern continent with the -Wood Elves-. We are in the western part of a continent shaped like a shoe, and human territory is in the northernmost part, where the foot enters the shoe.
Therefore, human territory is where the winter season arrives first in the northern hemisphere.
So, although we are not yet in the season of ice and snow, the mountains in this range are already adorned with a white silk loom, and we need a lot of protein to withstand the cold.
And thanks to this I can throw a snowball in Dianeira’s face!
"AHH! It’s cold!!"
"See! And so you want me to wear a skirt in this cold?!" I gave Dianeira a cold look.
We are exploring some mountains. Who would wear a skirt in these circumstances? I don’t know what I expected.
Plus, it’s not like if I wore a skirt it would be noticeable. Aside from a skirt, I’m wearing an ankle-length white trench coat that covers everything.
The trench coat, with the help of the thick denim fabric our clothes are made of, keeps us warm while we look for any signs of a cave or anything that says there may be treasure or ruins.
"But you can buff us to keep us warm~"
"...Maybe you no longer want the cold resistance aura and the cold removal charm..."
"Vremya~! Nooo~!
Sorry, I won’t do it again~!"
Dianeira threw herself at my feet in the snow and hugged me by the legs, looking very pitiful. But of course, it’s all pretend... or her hands wouldn’t be touching my legs and back cheeks while she rubs her face on my belly.
"With you it’s going to be a little complicated to explore the area we were assigned to..." I tried to push Dianeira away with my hands while I said.
I don’t know how Magen came up with the idea of randomly teaming up and pairing us with a drawing of slips of paper with repeating numbers.
There were three 1’s, two 2’s and two 3’s, and Dianeira and I got the 3. And the paper that said which part of the area we would explore was north.
It’s not dangerous to separate ourselves like this. We are an hour from the city (world time), and practically the entire area has already been explored before.
Not only are there hunters who come for prey, there are also gatherers who go out to look for medicinal materials, and there are a couple of iron and copper mines.
So, since there is not much danger, our teacher in charge and -Quest Guardian- stayed in the port to gather information... but we all know that she will only spend it in the taverns of the port...
You would think that being with an explorer would be the best option when the -Quest- is about exploring an area and finding an objective or resource... but with Dianeira...
"Stop playing. We’ve barely gotten close to our target area and it’s already been an hour. We should use the other hour to explore as much as we can before returning to the meeting point..."
The horse-drawn carriage in which we traveled and rented to come to the first search area we could only leave behind and continue on foot.
Before we split up, I threw a couple of buffs at my teammates.
With my magic skills growing, and since there are only a few temperature protection spells, the duration of each buff is long. We have agreed to meet at certain central points every two hours, unless someone finds something or faces danger. At that time, a flare will be used to inform everyone else and run in the direction of the flare. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Okay, okay~ Time to work....Huh?!"
"¡AH! ¡Dianeira!!..."
"Shhh." Dianeira put her index finger to her lips and hissed at me.
Seeing that Dianeira was looking in one direction, I could see a shadow that ran between frozen rocks on the mountain.
I activated my Byakugan (fake), concentrating my perception in that direction.
Not only could I see a pair of -Dune Runners (Zerling)-, who seemed to be waiting to ambush us, but a third was running towards the north.
Looking in the direction is running, up ahead I came across something that impressed me.
A small Zerg unit was besieging a large snow-white Cat with bright blue eyes like a sapphire jewel.
Although the -Cat- was alone, he could fight against five -Zergling- and two -Zantar Snigill-Roach-, but it seems that it is only a matter of time before he loses.
The big cat was already starting to feel exhausted, and his beautiful snow-white coat was starting to become stained with red flowers around him.
But even though it seems like he’s going to lose... why doesn’t he escape? —I asked myself.
"Are there only two -Dune Runners (Zerling)-? Was it necessary to push me into the snow?" I told Dianeira, who is above me very cheerfully.
Thanks to my auxiliary spells, even though we are lying on the cold snow, we do not feel cold. Furthermore, I can feel Dianeira’s natural body temperature through her clothes, as well as her body scent and fresh breath.
Although Dianeira has taken a liking to harassing me, I don’t dislike her. Or who would dislike a youthful girl with a lot of energy, intelligent, social and who also knows how to cook? And that is not being sexist: in this world dominated by women, it is rare to find a woman who cooks for pleasure and pleasure... and who also does it very well.
"Get off! Here they come," I said softly to Dianeira, who changed her expression and, with an agile movement and with great ease, she jumped easily and in a moment she had a bow in her right hand and an arrow in her left hand.
"{Wind Binds!}" Although I didn’t get up as nimbly, with quick movements I stood behind Dianeira and, aiming with my hands, cast a curse-type spell towards the pair of -Dune Runners (Zerling)- who were running towards us.
Some wind currents tied the -Dune Runners (Zerling)- while making cuts in their insectoid legs.
Afterwards, the arrow released by Dianeira seemed to split into two and then four in the air as they flew towards their targets.
Two powerful arrows hit the lower part of each alien’s jaws, stabbing hard.
*GRAAAAAH!!!* x2
The aliens growled in pain and fury.
"{Wind and Water Blades!}"
Casting a new magical incantation, a pair of wind and water blades accompanied the new arrows released by Dianeira.
*GAAAH!*
The two - Dune Runners (Zerling) - did not last longer and fell under the siege of arrows and cutting magic.
"Your aim has improved," I said as I trotted over to the two alien corpses while gathering fire magic in my hands.
It is protocol to burn the bodies of aliens so as not to contaminate the environment. It’s not that they come back as zombies or something like that, but they have a -disease- that infects the earth and is very dangerous.
"There are only two weak -Dune Runners-..."
"Yes, yes, Magen~ hehehe." I interrupted Dianeira’s presumption.
My fire element skills are not very strong for combat yet. Fairies are not very talented in the fire element, generally... although there are fairies with a fiery nature who can easily create small hells. But they are very rare.
So I can only use fire nature in fairy magic to increase stats or as shields against the cold...
But it’s still enough to gather fire mana in my hands to burn a couple of disgusting insect corpses sick with some kind of fungal pathogen.
After I confirmed that they were burning, I ran in the direction of the big cat fighting a small alien unit alone.
"Vremya, wait!
It’s dangerous! Aliens never act alone. There may be a large unit of aliens ahead..."
"Quickly, my dear explorer~!
Launch the flare!" Thanks to my wind magic and space ability, my speed is fast.
Dianeira already had the flare gun in her hand. When she heard me, she pointed it at the sky and fired. A red light shot out from the mouth of the gun tube and quickly rose into the sky.
Despite it being daytime, the red light is easily noticeable from miles away. Before long, the other girls will find us.
The reason why I am running quickly is to catch up and save the big white cat. I just discovered the reason why he stayed to fight instead of running away when she was faced with the possibility of losing.
On one of the walls of the mountain there is a small cave, and inside there are three little white cat cubs.
So the big white cat is actually a big mother cat. I can’t let those kittens be orphaned by space bugs!
"{Strength!} {Defense!} {Heal!} {Heal!} {Speed!}..." As soon as I arrived where the big white cat and an alien team were fighting, I started casting auxiliary magics at the big white cat.
"RAAAAAAWWWW!!!" The big white cat growled loudly. Feeling that her body seemed to recover, she launched herself with more courage and fury towards the -Dune Runners-, tearing one into pieces with her claws.
"That’s a Vorshaan Nivalis Cimeira!?!" I heard Dianeira’s very surprised voice behind me.
