Chapter 50 : Stone Cold I

Satoru passed through the party and entered the leader's building, noticing Nova stand there at the table with Ignatius being absent.

"Out of nowhere, men fallen and turned to stone in Shiki Forest. It's been reclaimed from the demon eye clan after the purge of Greenthorn but there's more and more of these reports. Missing reports" Nova spoke, summarizing the mission as Satoru walked up beside him and checked the table.

Both their wounds still recovering, flesh returning little by little, they looked at the papers.

"A gorgon?" Satoru questioned "Those are quite rare, should be at least." 

"Hm.. I don't know. Even so, Shiki Forest is in jeopardy so it's worth checking out."

"Okay. When do we leave?"

Nova took the mission and it was of course regarded as a 'A to S' mission. The being F, up to S. A simple yet practical system they had.
