7.

We couldn’t spend all our time lamenting our loss. If it meant that our situation would improve, I would happily dance the Para Para or the Lambada, but that would be totally pointless.

“The former, by the way, is a disco dance born in Japan during the late 1980s; the latter was born in South America. They were both popular around the same time, but many discos at the time banned the dances for being too provocative.”

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Tiamat. But why was she waving me over? I can’t dance the Lambada.

“You just said you would. What a filthy liar you are.”

“Only if it would... Sorry. I lied. I can’t dance the Lambada or the Para Para. Please have mercy on my soul.”

I begged desperately, yet self-deprecatingly. I mean, it kind of felt like Tiamat would pull all sorts of tricks and solve our problem just to make me do the dance. No? Just me?

“Hm. Think about what you did.”

What a generous gesture of forgiveness. Damn it. Just you watch, one of these days I will make her rue this moment!

“Right. Ruety-rue-rue.”

“Errrrkk!”

“Tracks lead in every direction except due west, where we came in from.”

Disregarding our stupid conversation, Ruey was contemplating our next move, holding a map open.

“The discussion as to which tracks are real may be pointless, Lord Ruey. We have no way of discerning whether they plan to rendezvous somewhere or plan for each team to return of their own merit.”

Hieronymus was the one discussing with him. So sorry. I really am the useless one.

“There are the most tracks headed east, out of the bunch. That’s their main party.”

Even Baze sounded more reserved than normal. We couldn’t help but be more trepidatious after falling for their trap once.

“It could be a mislead to make us think so, or it could really be the direction they went in.”

Ruey shrugged. Someone once said that the most effective traps are set on your opponent’s mind. Determined not to fall for it again, we were being timid. Even though we knew that the enemy did this to buy time, we hesitated to take swift action.

“It would be a foolish decision for us to split up, too,” said Tiamat.

“Yep.”

Since I had no combat skills, I would pair up with Tiamat. Ruey would partner with Baze, and Hieronymus, who had smarts and situational awareness, would go solo. We could have split into three, but what was the point of breaking up our already meager force? Once we split up, it wouldn’t be easy to make contact with each other, either.

“Thought Speech can only go about a kilometer, max,” Tiamat added.

Maybe we could use it while we were in a town, but that was about it.

“Oh.”

“Light bulb, Eiji?”

“Let’s go in the direction with the least amount of tracks.”

“How come?”

“Because it’s probably not their biggest party.”

I needed to explain myself. If we try to catch their main party, we would be disappointed if we were wrong. Then, why not go in expecting one of the decoy parties?

“You go down the wrong path first in dungeons too.
