Day [Life]: Incarnation
Aid Expectancy

"Uh... The war has already begun..."

The recovered Zena now looked into the black smoke. A demonic creature with a lizard head and horns on its head.

After a bit of a look at the war, the three of us then walked in search of an empty tent for us to live in.

"It seems like there are a lot of people and nobles here."

I said while looking at the situation around. Meli and Zena joined hands and walked beside me.

"ah! There's one!"

Meli then pointed to an empty tent that was right in front of me.

"Uwahhhh!!"

After pointing at him he then pulled the hand of Zena who was still holding him towards the empty tent.

A large dark green tent with an additional 1 window made of cloth. Inside it is just soil.

"It looks like we have to prepare the base..."

The three of us prepared the tent. Starting from the pedestal, arrange the bag, and also arrange some decent places to sleep. This tent is made of fabric that has been given water-repellent magic. I don't know what magic is but obviously it helps a lot when it rains.

"Huwah...."

Said Meli who then wiped the sweat on her forehead using her arms.

"It's very busy, huh?"

While saying so Zena patted Meli's head.

"Oh."

A soldier came closer to our tent and gave us a piece of meat.

"Here, share it with your family members."

The soldier gave it to me and then turned back towards the fence that had been installed so that no citizens would run around on the fence.

Some citizens and nobles were given the same meat as ours. But for the nobility they only ordered their maid or sebas to cook it. All the refugees were also given the meat by the soldiers until help from the capital came.

"Vivacious.... Fresh meat..!!"

Meli with a spinning glee like a ballet athlete.

"Must be this?"

I then asked Zena who was watching me carry a meat wrapped in leaves. Looks like we'll move again from here...

"Give it to me. I'll make you something delicious!"

Poking his two fingers near his eyes he then picked up the meat. Meanwhile Meli follows Zena's style like a plain little boy.

Although people see Zena's childish behavior, they focus more on Meli following Zena's behavior. In the view of people it may be like a child following the behavior of his mother.

"I'll help."

I then compiled the firewood from my magic bag and arranged some pebbles on the edge of the array.

"Hm?"

Meli then squatted near the unlit bonfire while touching it using her index finger.

"Meli, don't get close to that just yet. It'll be lit later."

Said Zena who was slicing the meat with a flat stone pedestal near the tent. For water, we use Zena's daily magic, and for fire use my magic.

"Good!"

Meli then answered Zena's words and stood up again and walked closer to Zena who was cutting meat.

After saying that, the wood in the middle of the pebble burned. Magic [Fire] was a shortened version of [fireball]. This magic will only ignite when near flammable objects such as wood. For [fireball] this magic can come out when we cast its spell.

For example when we attack someone using [fire] then the fire will only propagate through the clothes and then burn the person, he said, but for [fireball] they will be hit by a fireball that flies from the direction of the user and will make more severe injuries even though it will disappear immediately. The effect won't last as we spew fire, just one-time use.

"Huf... Okay, the fire's ready!"

After a slight sigh I then shouted to Zena who had also finished cutting the meat.

"Ah, I think we need something."

Zena then went inside the tent and came out carrying some herbs and skewers. He then smeared the meat with a black and white powder and gave it salt.

"Law..."

The eyes of Meli who saw it up close glittered as if it was very tasty. His saliva had come out unintentionally and it seemed like he wanted to eat it.

"Then.. Uth..."

He then thrust some meat into that skewer. After that it approached me who was beside the bonfire and put the meat satay on the edge of the bonfire.

After putting the satay down, he then sat down next to me. Meli who saw him running then sat on Zena's lap. The people around did not care about this scene, they just stared at the grilled meat...

"Hey, why are they all staring at our flesh?"

The whisper of Zena who sat and leaned her head against my shoulder. Meli simply leaned her back against Zena's body and happily closed her eyes. Looks like he's sleepy.

"Stop that..."

I replied to Zena's whisper casually and then returned my head to her head. After that, my eyes closed.

Someone came up to the three of us and said.

"Excuse me... Can you guys give us a little spice?"

Because of the surprise, I then immediately opened my eyes and looked at the direction the sound was coming from. The man looked thin, his eyes constantly looking at the flesh made by Zena.

"Ah, this. Please."

Zena then gave the condiment to him then sat back down with a sincere smile. Are they from a slum village? Thought.

"Thank you very much. I'll take it."

He then turned around after saying thank you then ran towards the tent in front of us happily.

"The conditions are too concerning..."

Zena then stroked Meli's head with her body leaning against my body.

"This is how it is."

I calmed him down and grabbed his shoulder. From then on the victim continued to eliminate the soldiers and adventurers who returned with blood all over his body.

...****************...

The afternoon. The meat that was roasted since noon had been ripe. Meli woke up along with Zena who was groaning. I opened my eyes because I was asleep.

"Hm....?"

Zena then began to rise from me and sat up straight. While I rubbed my eyes, Meli woke up. The smell of cooking. Since we were asleep for 2 hours our stomachs had held it so we immediately ate the meat. Although not too filling.

The smell is very good.. Black pepper and the salt are soaking, For the outer texture Zena adds a little flour? I don't know what it is.

"Wahh... It's yummy!"

Meli licked her lips and then ate it again. Zena just smiled at Meli's praise.

After eating it we stayed outside accompanied by a warm bonfire. While waiting for the sun to set.
