Taog heaved a sigh. Oh, he would have words for Ateia about impulsively signing what was clearly a magic contract with someone they know practically nothing about. But nothing more could be done at this point. They were committed, like it or not. He could only hope that this would end...

Ateia and Taog shrieked and trembled as the wandering knight approached them.
“P-Please don’t hurt us…”
The armored girl had a heterochromatic eye that appeared to be made of metal. That eye began to glow. Ateia and Taog closed their eyes and hugged one another, gritting their teeth.

It was early morning, before the sun had risen. Ateia and Taog stood over the dining room table, looking over their packs.
“Let’s check one more time.”
Ateia sighed but she opened up her pack.
“Healing potions?”
Ateia reached in and pulled out small bottle filled with red liquid.

NSLICE-00P lowered to the ground after defeating the Ursanus. Rattingtale and Lilussees exited the monster hanger and climbed to her shoulder.
“Wow. Like, good job, boss. There’s not like, any leftovers though, or something? Ah, too bad.”

The forest was dead silent, neither bird nor insect willing to sing their songs. Even the trees seemed to sway and groan.
For the Ursanus Alpha was on patrol.

And so NSLICE-00P traveled around the area, avoiding any large signatures and targeting the smaller dungeons.

The dungeon was not much longer after the fight with the dirt golems. There were a handful of pitfall traps, but no further battles. As a result, NSLICE-00P had a chance to evaluate the Magic Missile upgrade options and made her choice.

NSLICE-00P stood still for quite a while as she conducted her calculations. Rattingtale had gone to sleep, in fact. Finally, after a long while, NSLICE-00P’s robotic eye stopped flickering. She had come to a decision.
