As Leila left the town, she saw Vreskrr blowing a kiss at her from a distance. She had no idea why the demoness did that but it certainly made her feel annoyed. Like she was playing with her, and not taking her seriously at all. She reminded her of those knights that laughed at her when she told them she wanted to join them.

"Hmph, demons and their arrogance..." she grumbled.

Entering the woods, she was glad to see how the forest seemed to be unaffected by the disaster that hit the village. She could still hear the birds chirping on the trees, and she saw some squirrels frolicking around on the branches. Hmm, birds and squirrels. They should be able to use them too for the ritual. But, since she already said she would catch some deers, might as well aim for a deer.

After walking for a good 15 minutes, she finally found her prey. In front of her, nearly hidden in-between trees, was a deer. It didn't seem to notice her, as it was busy eating the grasses growing underneath it.

Leila cast her enhancement magic to her feet. She then leaped towards the animal so fast it had no time to react. And before it could escape, Leila crashed her sword's blunt end into its head, knocking it unconscious. Of course, the attack was enhanced too. She then carried the deer on her shoulder without even flinching, thanks to her strength enhancement magic. She then walked back normally to the village. No sense in wasting her mana for nothing.

Back in front of the statue, she put the animal to the ground. "Here's your deer," she said to the monk girl. "Don't worry. It's still alive. I merely knocked it onconscious."
