The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368 House Guests

The group sat and joked for most of the afternoon as the three clerics finished repairing everyone's armour, including the mangled remains of Karl's original suit. It had better buffs on it than the new gear did, but it didn't have the advantage of comfort or being able to be worn under normal clothing. Eventually, the Clerics moved from fixing gear to cooking dinner. This was their horribly overworked day, and Karl hoped that they could at least get a day off afterwards.

It was the great downfall of being indispensable. Everyone needed you for something, and on days like today, someone needed you for everything.

But on the bright side, nobody came to bother them as they ate and relaxed after dinner, until it started to get dark, and Morgana sighed while looking out the door.

"If you would like to stay the night, we can hang extra hammocks for you. We have plenty, so you can stay here the night." Karl offered.

They also had extra blankets from their time on the Frost Giant front, so they weren't short on sleeping gear.

Doug nodded happily and Bob shrugged.

"We might as well, since we're already here. I can make a cute fuzzy blanket for our resident princess if she needs." Doug teased.

Morgana's hand glowed with black magic, and the Nature Cleric just laughed harder.

"Alright, we need to hear this story. What is it between you three?" Karl insisted.

Bob patted Doug on the shoulder, and gestured to Morgana. "She can tell the story, and we will fill in the gaps."

Morgana sighed. "I can see that letting them tell it would be a mistake. It was my second mission, after a single day resource gathering trip. I got paired with these three idiots and two horny morons from my magic combat class.

I grew up in government employee housing in the Capital, I had never been in the wilderness before. I just loved plants and potions. But from the first hour, they were making fun of me."

Doug cut in as she paused. "You should have seen her. She was smaller than Lotus, and she kept getting lost as she went to look at flowers."

Morgana glared at him, and Doug made a zipping motion over his lips to let her continue.

"We were out for three days, and all four of them teased me relentlessly. I didn't know how cold it was going to get in the forest, so I had packed my lucky blanket from my room, a black fuzzy blanket. That's what Doug was referring to.

He called me Princess for the entire trip."

She paused, likely intending to finish it there, but Doug wasn't done.

"Tell them about the next time as well."

"Why do they need to know that?" She replied suspiciously.

"Because if you don't tell them, I'm going to."

Morgana sighed. "Fine. The second time we went out, we deployed by train, and the train was attacked. It wasn't major, but I lost my pack. In fact, all of the students did. We had put our packs in the baggage car while we went for lunch.

Hey, I see that judging look. We didn't know any better, and nobody warned us. Well, the baggage car took a direct hit from a Gryphon, and all of our gear was lost. So, the only ones who had any gear were Bob and Doug, while the rest of us had nothing.
