"Haha"
Brig brought up a wry smile.
"anyway, sorry to impose but can I join you on the way?"
Brig asked the group along with the commander formally.
"Oh! no worries. How about you join us instead? the knights will now be the forward party and we will be guarding the rear of the carriage. Let me introduce you to everyone first!"
The swordsman introduced him to the group immediately.
"Im Albert, the party leader. This is Warren our tank, that girl over there was Rina, she's a thief, Vetti, our archer and Sharon our mage."
Albert the swordsman introduced his party in the shortest way possible.
"Brig, hmmm mage? meh.. anyway, nice to meet you. "
As he also introduced himself, the commander decided to do a post battle cleanup and decided to leave Brig alone with the party.
"Dear lads, I'll excuse myself. I'll just attend on something, we will depart in hour"
..
..
During the resting period, Brig took out a foldable chair from no one knows where and sat on it, maybe even taking a nap. He put a blanket out on his face to cover it and the revolver on his chest covered along with the blanket. The knights shuddered at his actions, seemingly afraid to move on the premise that they will wake him up. Albert, the swordsman noticed this, curious as to what happened earlier.
"According to the knights, they heard a loud sound one after the other and in a span of few seconds, all enemies are dead. Then he showed up."
Without even a need for questions, Rina the thief told Albert about the incident earlier where Brig appeared and killed all the enemies with a snap of finger.
Albert then looked to Sharon but before he could even inquire she already gave him an answer.
"I don't sense any mana from him."
A knight passing by actually heard her sentence gulped and began walking on tiptoes.
"I actually have a feeling that he's not as scary as you guys make him up to be"
Warren the tank spat out a sentence and began walking towards Brig. Albert was about to stop him but he didn't.
As soon as Warren got close to Brig, he gently slid down the blanket off his face but tightened the grip on his gun.
"Hello there brother, nice chair!"
Brig put the gun on this inventory and took out the 4 seater couch from his grandfather's Home.
"This is okay, but this one's better. Come on sit down."
Seeing this, the atmosphere eased down a little bit and the knights around actually breath a sigh of relief.
"I'll also go!"
Vetti, the archer... leapt out without a warning, she went towards Warren and Brig, her intentions unclear.
"Ehh??"
Albert and the rest of the party was surprised.
..
..
When Vetti reached where Brig and Warren was, she just casually stood there waiting for them finish the small talk. Brig immediately noticed her or rather, her ears.
"Hi!, I'm Vetti. What's that?"
"Elf? oh this?, this is a blanket."
Curious about the blanket, Vetti decided to risk it all and ask if she could inspect or even touch the blanket.
"Can I.., can I touch?"
"Sure?.."
Brig handed the blanket to her, confused why.
"The material.."
Warren spoke.
"The material looks nothing like from anywhere you can see. And also those engravings, you can't see anything out there like that."
"So you're saying, she likes those?"
Upon checking the blanket, Vetti inspected up close the pictures on the blanket. Teddy bears on all sorts of colors were printed all around.
"Are these actually images of bears?"
Warren came to a realization.
"Bears do not look like this, they are killing machines, but these ones... they look cute?..."
"Are you guys like... super strong that you are able to tame bears and make them look like this?"
Vetti asked.
Brig did not reply but he took out his motorcycle key where there are a lot of key chains and gave the teddy bear one to Vetti.
"Here, you can keep this, got this one from an arcade."
"Ar-kade?"
Brig noticed that she might not even know where to put the key chain but luckily Vetti has a quiver with a small ring like hole to have it dangle on.
"It's more of an accessory, it does nothing, but it looks cute. the color actually matches you"
Vetti with her sparkling eyes stared at the keychain and then returned the blanket back to him bowed.
"Thank you Mr. Mage!"
"Just call me Brig. Oh, while you're at it, you can actually call Albert and the rest, I'll treat you to something."
Vetti did not even hesitate and rushed back where her party was.
"Hey Warren, do you know how to cook?"
"A little bit"
Warren stood up as Brig summoned a whole set of kitchen wares and a whole set of chairs from his inventory. And just a few seconds later, Albert and the rest of the party arrived.
"You guys can sit down on here. Warren can help me cut up some vegetables here."
Everyone sat down without a word as they watched Warren cut up some of the vegetables they know of.
"Carrots and potatoes?"
"Oh yes, just cut em up bite size I'll be just making you guys a soup."
On the big pot, Brig sautéed a whole bunch of garlic and onions before putting a lot of water and some brown cubes on the soup.
As the water began to form bubbles, he took out some salt and a bag of pasta along with it.
"Now we just wait a little bit and well put those vegetables on."
"I'm actually quite familiar with these guys so its easy"
Warren was actually proud of himself peeling the potatoes and chopping up the carrots without wasting too much of the volume of the vegetables.
