บท 44: Garden 1

Today, the hamlet was finally within running distance. They all packed up their sleeping gear as they prepared to leave.

Anya gave a quick briefing before they started the last section of the journey.

“We’re getting close now. We’ll be in two teams - me and Jay, Kel and Mark. Jay and I will be focus on search-and-destroy, while you two,” she pointed at Kel and Mark, “will be on defense and security of the hamlet. The association knows what monsters they are, but they didn’t tell us so that we’d have to figure it out, getting some real-world experience. Since they sent us, this means we’re capable enough to handle this. If you have any problems, retreat and call us for backup… oh, that reminds me. Here.”

Anya pulled a crystal out of her inventory, handing it to Mark. It was like the one Michael used for announcements at the adventurer association, but smaller.
