Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend's group exited the mansion, but just as Olgar was about to use the Golden Plate, a loud voice shouted towards them.

"Olgar!!!"

Cherry came down from the sky and dove towards Olgar. Her velvet-red dress fluttered with the wind.

"C-Cherry!?"

Olgar turned towards her in shock.

"Olgar!"

Cherry embraced him.

"Cherry…"

Olgar returned her embrace. There was an aura of melancholy and yearning around them.

"???"

Lawrend looked at the two of them in confusion. Weren't they angry at each other or something?

"Olgar… I found out that you lied to me."

Cherry pulled her head back and looked at Olgar straight in the eyes.

"..."

Olgar looked away from her when he heard her words.

"You weren't two-timing with any girls! Sir Reol told me with a letter."

Cherry said to him with emotion welling up on her face.

"That bastard of a Guild Master…"

Olgar's face twitched. He couldn't help but curse Reol in anger.

"Ehehe. Tell me, Olgar. Why didn't you want to marry me? You even told me that you were two-timing."

Cherry ran her index finger down Olgar's cheek.

"Ehem."

Lawrend couldn't bear it anymore. He coughed to get their attention.

"Oh my, I forgot we're out in the open."

Cherry giggled, realizing that Lawrend and the rest had been watching them.

"Y-Yeah."

Olgar nodded awkwardly. He felt embarrassed that they were seen like that.

"Why don't we talk about this after I finish my escort mission?"

Olgar said to Cherry. It would take time for them to talk about it, after all.

"Only if you promise me that you will come back here."

Cherry pulled his hand and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Alright. I promise. I won't turn my back from this ever again."

Olgar looked at her with a smile.

"Mhm. Can you kiss me on the cheek before you go?"

Cherry nodded her head before asking him while fidgeting.

*Kiss*

Olgar gave Cherry a light peck on the cheeks.

"T-They are…"

Aleshia looked at the two love birds with a yearning expression. She couldn't help but turn her head to Lawrend.

"What?"

Lawrend blinked his eyes at her.

"N-Nothing, Young Master!"

Aleshia replied in a fluster.

"Let's go!"

Olgar turned around and walked towards them. He acted as if nothing happened just now.

Lawrend's group nodded their heads.

Olgar threw the Golden Plate to the ground, and it grew in size, enough for the five of them to fit together.

They hopped in, and the golden saucer slowly floated into the air.

"Buzu!"

Elena looked towards the ground in amazement. They were floating! When she was in her slime form, she wasn't capable of that much thought. Now, she was excitedly watching as they lifted off from the ground.

"Remember your promise!"

Cherry waved from the ground.

"I will!"

Olgar raised his hand and waved in return.

'Doesn't this feel like a death flag?'

Lawrend couldn't help but think. In his memories, this kind of scene usually leads to the MC dying in a war or something. He couldn't help but shiver after thinking that. Somehow, he doesn't feel that the journey this time would be smooth.

"+Vortex Whirlwind+!" [AN: Spells wrapped with a '+' are insta-casted.]

Olgar cast a vortex of wind to surround them. They then started moving forward towards the northwest.

"Wow~! Big Sister, we're flying!"

Ella exclaimed to Aleshia.

"Yes, Ella. Don't move around too much, or you will fall."

Aleshia nodded her head before warning Ella. It would be bad if Ella falls because of her carelessness.

"Okay~"

Ella replied with a smile.

"Elena, stay close to me."

Lawrend pulled Elena to stand in front of him, and he held her shoulder to keep her in place.

They traveled through the Great Berthan Forest which was north of Lanika City. There were roars of beasts coming from inside it from time to time.

A few hours later, something different appeared from their view.

"That is Hernan Lake. It is connected to the Lani River that runs north of Lanika City."

Olgar introduced the lake to them. It was a really large lake. The water was crystal clear even by looking at it from afar as it flickered from the reflected sunlight.

"Woah!!"

Ella exclaimed in amazement.

"Buzu?"

Elena tilted her head and looked at the lake with mild interest.

"I've heard of it, but this is the first time I saw it."

Aleshia said with a smile. She was the most knowledgeable about the world of the four of them.

"That's a really clear lake."

Lawrend was amazed. He had already seen lakes from the memories of his previous life, but this was the first time he was seeing one in person. It was even so clear, unlike what was in his memories.

"We will stop by here. If we continue directly to the capital city now, we will not make it by sunset."

Olgar informed and explained to them.

"Can't we just fly at night?"

Lawrend couldn't help but say in response.

"That's impossible. We will pass through the Undrasil Monster Forest. We will be live targets for the monsters that fly at night."

Olgar explained to them. The Undrasil Monster Forest is the habitat of High Mage and above, level monsters. As long as you fly above them, they won't really bother with you, but it's a different question at night.

There are hunting monsters that wake up and hunt in the night sky. It would be very disadvantageous to fight against them.

"Besides, it would be hard to fly at night."

Olgar added. There are no landmarks that can be seen at night. It would be more likely for them to pass the capital city and end up lost.

"I see."

Lawrend nodded in understanding. He should really just shut up, and let the professional do his job.

"Get ready. There may be monsters at the side of the lake."

Olgar warned them. The golden saucer flew closer and closer to the side of the lake. After making sure that it's clear, Olgar landed it.

"Garaaahhhh!"

A monster suddenly showed up from the trees and cried out loudly.
