“I-I need to go to the toilet,” Olga said, her voice urgent as she looked at Leon with pleading eyes.
Leon scratched his head. “Yeah, I figured you’d need that. Give me a second. Elis, come with me.”
“Yes, Master,” Elis replied, immediately following him as he strode toward the far west corner of the room.
Olga shifted from foot to foot, her face twisted in discomfort. “H-Hey… can you guys hurry up? I-I don’t think I can hold it much longer!”
Leon crouched down, glancing at Elis with a confused expression. “Think you can make it?”
“As you command, Master,” Elis answered confidently as she placed her hand on the ground, and immediately, the floor trembled. A hole formed near the western wall, and three stone walls rose around it, creating a makeshift toilet.
“It’s ready, Master,” Elis said, standing up as she looked at Leon.
“Good. Now, fetch me one of those slimes,” Leon ordered.
“As you command, master” Elis replied as she vanished from the sight.
“Leon… please….. I-I can’t hold it anymore,” Olga whined desperately.
*Boing-Boing*
A green slime suddenly bounced into the room, Elis following close behind it.
“Oh my god! It’s a monster! It’s a monster” Olga screamed, immediately hiding behind Leon as her soft boobs squeezed against his back.
“Calm down,” Leon said, frowning. “Elis, did you explain the task to it ?”
“Yes, Master. Slimes can easily consume human waste,” Elis answered.
“Perfect. Tell it to get in the hole.” Leon ordered.
“Understood, Master.”
“Prrrr… Prrr… Prrr…” Elis immediately relayed the message to the Slime.
*Boing-Boing*
The slime obediently hopped into the makeshift toilet and settled into the hole.
“You can go now,” Leon spoke with a smile as he turned to look at Olga.
“B-But a monster just went in there… I-I can’t go in there!” Olga cried, still hiding behind him.
“That slime won’t hurt you. Go,” Leon said.
“I don’t want to go in there… What if it tried to go inside me through my holes?” Olga asked with a suspicious expression.
“Then keep standing here… I would love to see you pee in your panties.” Leon replied with a perverted smile.
“…F-Fine, I-I will go. But if I die in that toilet, I’m haunting you,” Olga muttered as she cautiously stepped toward the toilet.
Meanwhile, Leon walked over to the nearby potions and swiftly stored them into his inventory.
“I’m heading out. Got a delivery to make,” he said to Elis before disappearing in a flash.
“As you wish, Master,” Elis bowed.
“Hey… I think the slime is eating my pee!” Olga’s voice echoed from the toilet.
…
After exiting the dungeon, Leon noticed it was already noon. Without wasting time, he began heading toward the Kingdom.
As he walked, he spotted a small party of three adventurers making their way toward the forest, their expressions grim.
Passing by them, Leon caught snippets of their conversation.
“Another attack? So soon?”
“I doubt the southern border will hold much longer.”
“All we can do now is pray for the reinforcements to arrive in time…”
‘Another attack? Are the elves hitting the southern border again?’ Leon thought with a confused expression.
Upon reaching the Kingdom, Leon made his way toward the Alchemist’s Shop where he had met the Royal Guards earlier.
After about ten minutes of walking, he arrived at the shop, only to find no guards in sight.
“Huh..? They’re not here? It’s already been two hours,” Leon muttered, glancing around.
*Click*
The shop door creaked open, and the old shop owner stepped out and looked at Leon.
“Oh, it’s you, kid. No need to worry about the potions. They won’t be needed it anymore,” he said in a flat voice.
“What? Why?” Leon asked with a confused expression.
“There’s been another attack on the southern border. The supply wagons already left an hour ago,” the old man replied with a sigh.
‘Damn it… these potions are useless to me now. Even my Minor Healing skill is better than them. And I need that money for dungeon materials…’ Leon thought bitterly.
“What if I deliver them myself?” Leon asked suddenly.
The old man chuckled.
“Kid, even if you took the fastest wagon, it’d still take you at least five hours to go around the Vinceral Forest and the war is going on, right now.
These potions were meant for the frontline soldiers— to patch up small wounds quickly during the battle.
By the time they’re seriously injured, they’re either dead or waiting for healers to heal them. Potions are practically useless at that point and I hate to say this… But, in the next five hours… They will reach that point.”
“But…. couldn’t they still use them later?” Leon asked.
“This is the last line of defense on the southern border. If today’s battle is lost, it’s over.
Reinforcements are on their way, but they might not make it in time,” the old man said grimly before going back inside
Suddenly nn idea sparked in Leon’s mind.
Without wasting another second, he bolted toward the wagon station.
“Vinceral Forest…” Leon spoke as he jumped into an empty wagon.
“Whoa, slow down, kid! I can’t just leave with one passenger —” the driver began but stopped when Leon tossed him five copper coins.
“Move.”
“Can’t say no to money…” The driver smirked as he pocketed the coins, and cracked the reins.
*Stch*
Within ten minutes, Leon arrived at the edge of the Vinceral Forest. He leapt from the wagon and sprinted toward the dungeon.
Once inside, Leon teleported directly to the final floor.
“Welcome back, Master,” Elis said, bowing once again.
“Elis… you said the slimes know all the forest routes, right?” Leon asked.
“Yes, Master,” Elis replied.
“How fast could they get me through the forest?”
“I will find out immediately, master” Elis said before vanishing.
Nearby, Olga approached with a hopeful expression. “Leon… could you bring me a mattress next time you visit the market?”
“Yeah, sure. But don’t you want to leave this place?” Leon asked with a confused smile.
Olga shook her head. “No… I actually like it here. No one yells at me. I don’t feel like a burden anymore. Plus, I can also practice my water magic here-something my family never allowed.
I hope you don’t mind, because I can also clean this place and make you some food if you bring me the ingredients.” she said nervously.
“Wait… you’re a Mage?” Leon asked, blinking in surprise as he immediately used his skill on her.
[Name: Olga]
[Class: Mage)
(Race: Human)
[HP: 100/100]
(MP: 50/50]
(Description: A mage who barely ever used magic and knows every household work.]
Before Olga could answer, Elis returned with a slime bouncing behind her.
“Master, this slime knows the shortest path through the forest,” Elis reported.
Leon crouched down. “Alright, how long will it take without getting me killed?”
“Prrrr… Prir… Prrr…” Elis and the slime exchanged sounds once again.
“Fifteen minutes, Master,” Elis said.
“What !?” Leon spoke as his eyes widened in shock.
