Cap 98: Preparation time
After telling them the plan, it's time to divide the tasks of each one, we have to prepare for it.
We ended up talking until nightfall, but before the day is out I have to give them the preparation list of what each one will do.
"Before I put this plan into practice, I want Kira to return once more to the city of Valen to buy the things we will need for the plan." (I)
"I'm leaving tomorrow, master." (Kira)
"I apologize to you Kira, I'm always making you go back and forth from town." (I)
"Don't worry about me master, I'm happy to help you." (Kira)
"Thanks." (I)
"Now Érica, I want you to continue practicing your transformation magic, as soon as you can use it at will, start training your curses." (me)
"Understood master." (Érica)
"Is this cold girl a black magician?" (Byakko)
"Kira you have dangerous friends, if that dog wasn't enough, now there's this black magician, what's wrong with this group?" (Byakko)
"Stop being disrespectful to them, you shouldn't treat them like that, Érica is someone very affectionate with friends and intelligent, Diana is someone very kind and responsible, they don't deserve to listen to you talking bad about them for their powers and races." (Kira)
"Hahahaha..." (Diana)
"Stupid Cat got scolded, hahaha..." (Diana)
"..." (Byakko)
"Stop you too Diana, don't laugh when a friend is getting scolded." (I)
"..." (Diana)
"Byakko, you can act as you like, but remember that it's the people here who will be by your side and by Kira's side when you need it, so try not to offend your friends, okay?" (I)
"It's okay, I admit it when I make a mistake." (Byakko)
"I'm sorry Demon woman, just Let me give you a warning, don't use malice in your curses, it won't only affect your target but it will also affect you." (Byakko)
"I forgive you, thanks for the warning." (Érica)
"See, it wasn't difficult, you did very well, Byakko." (Kira)
Kira pats the head of Byakko who is sitting on her shoulder to congratulate him on doing the right thing.
"Now back to the subject." (I)
"Diana I want you to take Ibuki monster hunting, find suitable monsters for her to fight alone, I want her to train the martial art I've been teaching her while I'm trapped in this damn room, I also want her to evolve before the plan starts, only help her if she's in danger." (I)
"Alright master, I'll take good care of Ibuki." (Diana)
"Ibuki will become the strong master." (Ibuki)
"I'm sure so Ibuki." (I)
"Don't forget it's only a month before the plan starts, so you'll have the rest of tonight to think about, starting tomorrow we're all going to do what we can." (I)
"Yes Master!" (Érica/Diana/Kira/Ibuki)
"Things will get interesting." (Byakko)
For the rest of the night, we were talking about how they were going to do the things I asked for, they were also excited about the idea of finally getting out of this forest and soon being able to go live in the town of Valen.
-----------
The next morning Kira and Byakko began training in sharing senses, Diana began to take Ibuki hunting and Érica continued her training in demonic magic of human transformation.
As for me, I could only remain trapped in the room, for now, I continued to read some books to learn more about this world.
With that time passed, two weeks later I was completely recovered and I went back to training several skills, I also started training simulated fights with Diana.
Kira had already been to and from the city with everything we needed for the prince's plan, she learned to share sight and hearing with Byakko but is still training her other senses.
Ibuki managed to evolve in the third week, just as we imagined she evolved into an Ogre Variant, her hair is still the same being long black, she got ten centimeters taller and gained some muscle she looks like an athlete, her skin color also changed to a light white color and a small horn has grown in the middle of his forehead, he looks very close to Human.
Ibuki has become even more beautiful, her intelligence has also increased a little, all her stats have increased too, but she still can't choose Jobs, it looks like she's a Lower Ogre Variant, only Higher Ogres can have access to the job system, she needs of two more evolutions.
Érica was already able to transform into a human perfectly and return to her Demon form whenever she wanted, now she is learning about magical curses.
Time has passed and finally, the time for us to take action has arrived, in two days the prince will pass on the road we think must be the place of the ambush.
Kira has already left to go into town and keep an eye on one of the suspects to switch places with him to infiltrate the group of assassins.
Kira already knows her role in this plan, tonight I gathered everyone else for one last meeting before the plan.
"Is everyone ready to start the plan?" (I)
"We are already master." (Diana)
"Ibuki can now fight on her master's side." (Ibuki)
"I managed to learn two master spells, they are simple but should do for now." (Érica)
"You guys look excited, I hope this plan ends well." (I)
"It's gonna be okay." (Érica)
"You and Ibuki are already much stronger, with all the preparation we've done there shouldn't be any problems." (Érica)
"Érica is right, with her plan we should be fine." (Diana)
"Even Kira who is in the most dangerous position should be fine, she has made good preparations for this plan." (Diana)
"She bought the poison I told you about?" (I)
"Yes, you're right, we don't know how strong the faceless brothers or the royal guard are, this poison will increase the plan's chances of success." (Diana)
"My only fear is that they'll notice us hiding in the surroundings, if that happens we'll miss out on the surprise attack." (I)
"With the hooded clothes Kira got us we should be fine, we'll also be wearing masks and the status concealment item." (Érica)
"We are as prepared as we can be, all I can do is hope for the best." (I)
"Be careful, let's get in on the action before Kira is in any danger." (I)
"Érica, I want you to leave all the survivors of the killer ambush incapacitated so as not to intrude when we attack." (I)
"If I'm not mistaken just the faceless brothers' man is going to be a problem, the moment Kira takes care of him I want you to take care of the woman since you're the fastest Diana." (I)
"We don't have anything else to discuss now, I want you all to go to sleep, we haven't suffered any surprise attacks since the spiders, so it's okay to stay unattended overnight, tomorrow we'll be going to call you where we'll be hiding." (I)
"What if we're wrong about the location of the ambush?" (Érica)
"Kira and Byakko know where we are, if we're wrong about the location Kira will send Byakko to let us know, so we'll just adapt the plan." (I)
After we talked some more, they all went to sleep, they are still sleeping in a separate room from me.
As soon as they went to sleep I go outside the cabin, go to a nearby tree and sit leaning against it, I look up contemplating this starry sky, even though there are some clouds in the sky it just makes it more beautiful.
The weeks I was recovering were excruciating for me, going all that time without seeing this sky, going all that time without being able to train, and being all that time depending on the girls for everything.
I don't want to go through that again, in this life I want to be free, I want to travel, I want to eat different kinds of food, I want to see different landscapes, I want to meet different people, I want to fight different monsters and I want to share it all with the girls.
I can say that I'm not alone in this world because of them, the reason for this whole plan is to get the skills I need to end the biggest weakness of my next evolution, I can't have such a big weakness, I know what I'm going to do too. do in the city so no one can find me.
Seeing this starry sky calms me down, I was so worried about the plan, but now I feel better, I get up and go inside thinking about how my abilities got stronger this past month.
I even killed some monsters to train my skills and increase my level, of course, I stopped missing three levels before reaching the maximum.
