camp vargas! ~spring happening~ 5-13 "the basics of survival"

[mandytl]

 

 

Location: Dwarfs’ Mine - Campsite

Ace: Deuce is missing?

Those ghosts and Leona-senpai and I were the only ones who got dragged up into that hut.

Jack: Then where do you think Deuce is?

Ace: Search me.

Leona: … Vargas even muttered something.

“You and Trappola were the only complete imbeciles who dared to miss out on our beloved Camp Vargas!”

Everyone: Wh—… ?!

Ruggie: … Which means Deuce-kun might actually be lost in the mines somewhere.

Grim: Stuck in a place without food or water for almost an entire day… 

I wouldn’t be able to stand it!

Jack: We’ve got to report this to Vargas-sensei right away…!

Floyd: Did you, like, already forget? 

”Everyone’s gotta assemble by the appointed time or it’s disbandment for you.” 

By the time you report it, go searching, and then come back… 

It’ll be way past assembly time and you’ll miss out on the remaining activities.

Jack: What’d you say?! That doesn’t matter right now…!

Floyd: —So… all we’ve gotta do is look for him ourselves.

The guy’s just lost, right? So let’s go find Mackerel-chan.

> I’m all for it!

> He must be feeling lonely right about now…

Ruggie: Floyd-kun… You just want to have some fun, don’t you? 

Floyd: Ahah. Do I need a real reason? I said I’d help, all right? 

Ace: … Welp, I better tag along, even if it’s just to see Deuce scared witless.

Plus, I don’t want him to think I was too chicken to go when you’re all going.

Grim: I’m goin’ too, all to make sure he totally owes me one!

Jack: No surprise that I’m coming, too. I’ll find him for the Track Club’s sake.

Sebek: … I’ll accompany you as well.

I’ve need to pass the details of my missing classmate onto the Young Master.

Floyd: How about you, Remora-chan, Sea Lion-senpai? 

Leona & Ruggie: Hell no. / No thanks.

Ruggie: Might as well pass the message onto Vargas-sensei if you think the situation’s that bad.

Sebek: … Listen well, human rabble. I’ll expound upon the basics of survival that Lilia-sama taught me.

A human can go without food for about three weeks.

… However, the body will start to shut down after three days without water.

Given how far he is, and how he hasn’t come back on his own, even the slightest delay may be fatal.

Ace: … For real?

Ruggie: Nnnh…. But, man…. 

We got at least two hours left until it’s time to meet up, right? 

We should call the instructor, and… there’s no benefit to me helping out, so… 

Jack: … The magic gems.

Ruggie: Come again?

Jack: I forgot to mention it yesterday, but… 

The area Deuce vanished in was overflowing with a ton of huge gems.

They’ll make for a fat stack of madol if you cash them in. 

Ruggie: … Okay. Let’s go look for Deuce-kun.

Sebek: His opinion reverses the moment money is involved. What a disgraceful fellow.

Leona: Well, hey. Break a leg out there.

Ruggie: You aren’t gonna go?

Leona: Obviously.

Ruggie: All right…

I’m countin’ on you to tidy up the rest of the tents and order the club around while I’m gone!

Leona: ……

… Fine. I’ll keep you company. You better appreciate this, herbivores.

Ace: He totally just measured whether cleaning up or searching for Deuce was the bigger deal here! 

Floyd: Yeah, yeah. Anyway, the team’s decided.

Time to go, Mackerel-chan Search Party. 

> So dependable!

> Let's head out!
