Light Novel Chapter 13

Pushing the Limits is the thirteenth chapter of the Didn't I Say To Make My Abilities Average In The Next Life?! light novel.

Summary

 * The Crimson Vow is on a request, fighting a fierce battle against about twenty Kobolds. Kobolds are not strong creatures, however the Crimson Vow were finding it hard to kill these "cute" creatures. That night they discuss taking on more challenging requests to see where their limits are.
 * The next day the Crimson Vow decide to take a request to hunt Rock Lizard. The request itself is not a difficult one although the rewards were pretty good, the main challenge is that the rock lizards live deep in the mountains and transporting them to the Capital of Tils before the lizard spoils is difficult for many parties. The Crimson Vow can just use Mile's storage magic to solve that problem however. The Crimson Vow accepted the request and began to prepare for the week-long trip.
 * On the first day of their trip, they left early in the morning and left towards the mountains, using Mile's storage magic to store anything that they would immediately need in case of an emergency. Within hours of leaving the Capital of Tils, Reina points out that a parasitic merchant is attempting to use the group as free escort instead of paying for proper escorts. That night, under the cover of darkness, the Crimson Vow moved far enough ahead before camping for the night to break free from the parasitic merchant, Dewberry.
 * On the second day of the trip, the Crimson Vow woke up early and continued on their journey. During the day they eventually reached the foothills and made camp close to sunset.
 * On the third day, the group started to hunt Rock Rabbits and Rock Wolves as they started to explore the area for Rock Lizards. Eventually the group comes across a rock lizard and begin to defeat it. Reina and Pauline use the ice-type spells Icicle Javelin and Maximum Freeze to restrict the lizard's movements before Mile and Mavis attack it with their swords. Messing up, Mile gets thrown into a cliff leading the others to think the worst although she was fine. Reina loses her ability to control her emotions and uses Hellfire to destroy the lizard. Learning from their mistakes, the Crimson Vow face off again against the rock lizard again, this time easily defeating it.
 * After hunting their fill, the Crimson Vow decide to return home while leisurely hunting along the way. Unfortunately, they become surrounded by Rock Golems, which the group was surprised that they were able to easily defeat.
