I Will Be Unrivaled With The Skill [Sewing]! They Said It Was A Bad Skill, But With Effort, I will Make It A Hit~ - Chapter 64

Episode 64: Streaks of Light

While keeping the encounter with Nina and the others in the back of her mind, Maior continued the battle.

Even after annihilating the Army of Tick Moths, Radish Onions, and Dark Slime Molds, enemies kept attacking one after another.

“Seneca! Take a break for now! Everyone, tighten the formation. Fabius-kun, assist Nina. Gaia, activate the trap and take down the Ice Chameleon! I’ll handle the Leaf Snake in the back!”

Seneca returned and moved to the center of the formation.

She drank a potion to restore her mana and ate her rations.

Seneca’s rations consisted of shredded dried meat and dried fruit mixed with a small number of nuts, sealed with Great Boar fat.
The flavor was intentionally adjusted to not be too delicious, but it had a deep, nourishing taste that Seneca liked.
Eating it made her feel in top form, so she always stuck to the same thing.

After hydrating and washing her sword, Seneca dashed forward again.

Lately, she often refrained from drawing her sword unless facing a strong enemy.

Lucius’ father’s sword was regularly maintained in the royal capital, but it was starting to show signs of wear.
She was currently looking for a new sword.

Fabius deflected attacks with a small shield in one hand.

His skill, 【Round Shield】, was unique, specializing in parrying and deflecting blows.

He considered himself a shield fighter, but in truth, his swordsmanship was top-tier, even among S-class warriors.

Moonlit Oath lacked a dedicated defensive role, so Fabius’ movements felt refreshing.
The four quickly realized how effective he was—Fabius drew enemy attacks while Nina overwhelmed them with her sheer offensive power.
This was what coordination truly meant.

Moonlit Oath had loosely defined roles, with everyone taking on multiple responsibilities.
That might sound good, but in reality, it just meant their teamwork was lacking.
Managing such a party was difficult, and the burden on the commander was immense.
Maior wanted to improve this, but she hadn’t yet found a good solution.

Monster attacks came in waves.

Right now, there was a brief lull, so Fabius and Maior took their turn resting after Seneca.

With those two stepping out, Seneca and Nina took charge of defeating the main threats, while Plautia, who preferred to act independently, eliminated troublesome foes.

Gaia used this time to set up the next round of traps.

Whenever the enemy numbers allowed, Seneca experimented with different actions to expand her combat repertoire.

Right now, she was mimicking Fabius’ defensive movements.

Though she wasn’t as skilled as him, Seneca was still adept at parrying.
However, because she moved around so much, her positioning overlapped with Nina’s, making their attacks inefficient.

After repeated trial and error, Seneca devised a technique where she anchored 【Needles】 in the air, using them as makeshift barriers.
This could be highly effective depending on the situation, so Maior decided to incorporate it into future strategies.

The strength of these anchored 【Needles】 was proportional to the mana infused into them.

By charging two of her ten needles with extra mana, Seneca figured out a way to stop enemies efficiently.

“Seneca-san’s ingenuity never ceases to amaze,” Fabius commented as he chewed on dried meat.

Watching him, Maior thought, His jaw must be insanely strong…

“She experiments as she fights and somehow always lands on the right solution,” Maior replied.
“Right now, I’d say ‘creativity’ is Seneca’s greatest strength.”

“It certainly seems that way. Even Nina looks caught off guard by her ideas.
Seeing someone generate concepts this rapidly is almost exhilarating…
Alright, I guess I’ll join back in,” Fabius said with a wry smile before sharpening his expression and stepping in between Nina and Seneca.

“…So tough,” Maior muttered in exasperation, watching the three go wild on the front lines.

Then, for some reason, Fabius started wielding shields in both hands, bashing monsters with them.
Meanwhile, Nina used the handle of her hammer as a weapon.

Their strange synergy was working fine, but it made things difficult for Plautia and Maior, who had to adjust to their erratic movements.

After a while, Fabius, Seneca, and Nina’s movements began to slow down, one after another.

They were running out of stamina.

Gaia was also feeling the strain from dealing with the leftover threats, and both Plautia and Maior, who had to keep an eye on everything, were reaching their limits as well.

After squeezing out the last of her magic for 【Detection】, Maior raised her voice and said,

“Let’s call it a day! Everyone, gather the monsters!”

Without missing a beat, she nocked an arrow and fired it toward the left rear.

This was a signal to draw the monsters in the direction the arrow flew.

Seneca, Nina, Fabius, and Plautia unleashed powerful attacks, sending the monsters flying.

Standing in front of Maior, Gaia extended her left hand, channeling her magic power.

Through extensive training in magic control, Gaia had reduced waste and was now able to use her magic more efficiently.

Maior sensed through 【Detection】 that Gaia was ready.

“Retreat!”

Upon hearing Maior’s voice, the four women ran full speed back toward her.

Once the timing was right, Gaia shouted.

“Firing!”

The magic reached its critical point, and Gaia released it from the tip of her left hand.

A streak of glowing light shot through the air, swallowing up all matter in its path.

ZKHBHAAAAAM!

The thunderous sound echoed so loudly it felt like their hearts might leap from their chests, as the blast wave struck Seneca and the others.

Monsters directly hit by the spell dissolved into light, and those nearby were blown away.

Once again, Gaia’s full power had cleared a path for her comrades’ retreat.

At the edge of the Nishiro Jungle, magical tools and powerful repellents were scattered to keep the monsters at bay. Maintaining these measures seemed to be the job of the beginner adventurers in the area. Thanks to this, monsters rarely escaped beyond the jungle.

After walking for a while, they came across a camp surrounded by earthen walls, where adventurers and soldiers stationed to monitor and cull the monsters lived.

“I wonder what’s for dinner today~”

The one who suddenly blurted out such a carefree remark was Fabius.

It was rumored among the S-Class adventurers that Fabius had completely fallen for Nina’s cooking, having his stomach fully captivated by her.

Fabius didn’t seem like the type, and Nina didn’t seem like someone who could cook, so neither Seneca nor Maior believed it.

However, after living together, it became obvious—Fabius was utterly enchanted by Nina’s exquisite meals.

Although Nina, a hammer-wielder, was often seen as rough around the edges, her father was a famous chef in a nearby town. It seemed that Nina had been trained in cooking since childhood and could prepare delicious meals quickly.

On the first night, when Nina had said, “I’ll cook for you as thanks,” Maior, unable to stop her, had been hesitant, but after one bite, she quickly changed her mind. She was struck with defeat, briefly kneeling to the ground, but recovered in just two seconds and asked Nina to teach her how to cook.

On this day too, Nina took the lead in preparing the meal.

Today, they had Jackalope meat, which Gaia had caught and prepped. This meat was a high-class ingredient.

The Jackalope was a rabbit-like monster with antlers and have a quick movements. However, Gaia used its tendency to dig holes to set a trap and caught it easily. Today, they would cook it.

This party also had Plautia, who possessed the 【Plant Gathering】 skill. This skill increased harvesting efficiency and ensured that plants gathered with it were of high quality and stayed fresh longer. Thanks to this, they had fresh vegetables and fruits.

“When you grill the meat, make sure to put on more salt than you think is enough—it makes it delicious,” Nina boasted.

Following her advice, they grilled the Jackalope meat over charcoal, and it turned out to be incredibly tasty.

“Is that your father the chef’s advice?”

“Nope. It’s Fabi-kun’s advice.”

Seneca and Maior nearly fell over in surprise.

“After a fight, strong flavors are the best. I think my dad would scold me if he saw me eating like this…”

As Nina said this, happily biting into the meat like a striped squirrel, she looked content.

Once the meal was finished, it was time to rest.

Since they fought to their limits every day, they often fell asleep almost immediately.

They shared a sturdy tent, which the four members of Moonlit Oath rented. The bedding was simple, but it was comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep.

Nina and Fabius rented a separate two-person tent, but every few days, Nina would also stay in Moonlit Oath’s tent.

Since the two had often gone on training journeys together, neither Nina nor Fabius seemed particularly opposed to this arrangement.

Seneca and the others spent several days fighting from morning until just before sunset, and after a short break, the four of them would venture into the jungle again.

They continued these routines, fighting side by side as they slowly progressed deeper into the jungle.
