Day 4,532

Eina almost got us all killed!

The foolish girl joined us in our mission to find and kill the monster leader, and I had no right to refuse a direct order from Oldrin to take her. It is not that I do not trust her or her skills. But she is young and inexperienced, no matter many monsters she had slain these past few days, and it was proven true when she woke up an entire house full of them after breaking a bowl.

I was so close to finding the leader, but Eina ruined our one and only chance. Fortunately, we managed to make a hasty retreat and return safely without a casualty. However, the damage has been done. The monsters know of our infiltration, and they will surely guard their leader even more.

There is no more chance of repelling them on the streets, so we had no choice but to retreat to Varen’s Hold where we plan to hold out long enough until reinforcements arrive. Even now, my remaining comrades are preparing the fortress for another long night of battle.

I will help them later. But first, Eina needs some reprimanding.
