The Moon Knight

Chapter 8: Lost Contact

This connecting bottle was a bottle-shaped device with a bit of magic thread at its base and tip. The purpose of a connecting bottle is to communicate over long distances.

"Oiya was talking about the cause of the damage to their firearms because of your actions, right Rin?" said Genm Fred.

"I just did what I had to do" replied Watanabe Rin.

"Hahaha as usual well you've always been that jutek. Later if you continue to jutek like that, you will have difficulty getting a lover," said Genm Fred.

"But your personality is very different from the time on the battlefield senior Fred. Your talk was so polite when talking to the enemy, but why do you talk like you do when you're with a fellow guildmate?" coro Ocra.

"Oi oi oi of course in work we have to be professional. After all, no matter how bad our enemies are, we should still respect them right? Hahahaha," Genm Fred said with a laugh.

"Honor them, you say? Don't bullshit. I still remember when you pranked the enemy and let them freeze in the cold before being captured. That happened about 2 weeks ago, did you forget senior Fred?" timpal Ciri Ocra's.

"Hahaha you still remember that? Be past let it pass do not be too tipped off. After all, you during the battle did nothing. Back then, when I was almost pierced by the enemy's sword, why did you just shut up? As if you even want to see my head is dislodged, huh? Hahaha," said Genm Fred.

"Not so, I just don't lust after weak enemies like them. So, I just let it go. Anyway I want to know how you react if no one fends it off, but in the end the new kid takes out the stupid robber" Ciri Ocra said.

"Oi oi oi, how rude of you. The new boy has a name, his name is Lahar" Genm Fred said.

"Hahaha I don't mean it that way, after all the first to call it that name instead of you yourself? But obviously I really like the fighting style of it earlier," said Coro Ocra.

" Haha? I don't remember it much myself. But I did too. I like the sword movement. I don't know why the style of the sword reminds me of someone" said Genm Fred.

"Switch you to who?" ask Coro Ocra.

"I forgot his name, but when I was a kid, I saw him. Yes even once but somehow the fighting style I still remember very much" replied Genm Fred.

Next, the delivery group continued their journey. Lahar, Watanabe Rin, and Coro Ocra. The three of them set out first to accompany the delivery group leaving Genm Fred who still had to wait for the security council to come.

Finally, after about a day of travel, the group arrived at their destination safely. After they were blocked in the Crimean forest, they did not meet with obstacles again so that their journey was smooth to the destination after that.

Now, the troupe and also the guards (Lahar, Watanabe Rin, and Coro Ocra) are resting and immediately entertained with a lot of food and drinks and various kinds. The meal itself looks more like a party.

But until now, there has been no news from Genm Fred, the group's leader in the escort mission this time. Since parting ways in the Crimean forest, Genm Fred has not given any more news.

"Try once, yeah" said Coro Ocra as he tried to contact Genm Fred with a Liaison Bottle.

"Sial still doesn't want to connect" muttered Coro Ocra.

"Then there is no other choice but to go straight back to the Crimean forest again. Or at least we went the route we passed. Good time senior Genm got a problem while chasing us," said Lahar.

"Oi oi oi do you know how far away it is? If we leave now, we will definitely run out of energy. We haven't eaten anything yet either" Coro Ocra said.

"Then, how about we just eat first, after that we go straight back?" lahar.

"It's impossible too, right? How can we eat while our chief hasn't come yet?" coro Ocra.

"Then how is it best? My feeling is that something has happened with senior Genm. If we don't act immediately, maybe he will be harmed" said Lahar.

"Cihhh," muttered Coro Ocra.

"Then try to eat this pill" Watanabe Rin said, giving a pill to Lahar and Coro Ocra respectively.

"What is this pill?" coro Ocra asked as he took the pill from Watanabe Rin's hand.

"It's a pill that will make you forget your hunger, drowsiness, and fatigue for 12 hours. With a note, the maximum you use the pill is one time per two days" said Watanabe Rin.

"so yeah. I think these pills will be very helpful. Yes, it is better to eat these pills first and then we ask for supplies to them. Who knows, Fred's senior hasn't eaten or is starving" Coro Ocra said.

The three of them then directly faced the rich merchant the owner of the goods that had been escorted by them. They then revealed that they seemed unable to attend the banquet. In connection with their mission that has been completed, they also ask permission to leave. But before that, if allowed they also ask for supplies first for their supplies on the way home as well as in case if Genm Fred is indeed in dangerous circumstances.

The merchant then allowed the three of them to return, after all their mission was already completed. The merchant also gave quite a lot of provisions to the three of them. Not to forget, before they left, the merchant also thanked them a lot. The merchant also advised the three of them to extend his greetings to their guild master.

Once everything was ready, the three of them then began their journey back. At this time, when it had entered midnight, they also used the power of Coro Ocra, the fire element, to light the way. Meanwhile, the one in charge of bringing the provision of the merchant was Lahar.

The night passed, the sound of the roar of the wolves kept on pacing each other. The night was getting cold and thick. Right now, they have gone quite far. So far, they haven't been able to call back Genm Fred, or meet him on this line.
