Five Shades: Supporting Them In Isekai !

Part 5's

"Undead counter!!"

Suddenly a dazzling light emerged from the ground and formed a circle that surrounded the hedgehog undead.

Slowly but surely, the undead's body became half transparent after receiving something like that magic.

The undead then fled back into the forest. Although not dead, but it was enough to repulse him in the meantime.

"All right, it's done."

A middle-aged woman said that.

Me and Erena approached them to find out what was really going on.

"W...!!"

I know him, I know that middle-aged woman. She's the angler's grandmother I met recently.

I think he's forgotten about me, and that's normal.

Unlike those who train to be strong and famous, everything that sticks from me is low. I'm a real commoner you can meet anywhere.

"We're so helped, it's a good thing you're around here."

"Then, can you explain how a monster turned into an undead like that?"

Mekata then briefly explained while walking back to the city.

From here I can draw one thing of information, if the grandmother used to be a priest who became an adventurer. That's why he can use light magic.

And coincidentally, he was looking for firewood into the forest. Somehow Mekata and Felix were able to meet him and directly ask for help.

As long as I'm safe, stupid time with all.

— Arriving in the city...

The grandmother came back to her house, while we went to the adventurer union to hand over the progress of the request.

"Alright, the ten thorns giant hedgehog request has been completed, please this is the payment... Thanks for taking the quest..."

The guild counter miss paid me a fee.

In the end, I can only bring ten thorns to hand over.

That was because, I had to carry an additional burden while trying to escape from the undead.

Well, it's better than the fruitless Erena.

The pay is very small for a mission that almost endangers lives.

That's just about enough to eat and drink for a few days.

And since I was the good-natured good-natured one, I allowed this girl who had the guise of a dark hero to order lunch.

He ordered the same meal as the one we ordered yesterday at this union tavern.

Yep, a hard but tacky steak blush, at an affordable price.

You could say, this is a debt of gratitude because he saved my life.

"Have you heard it? Rumor about the sword hero who had killed the dragon that attacked the small village."

In the corner of the bar operated by the union.

All right, call it tavern.

(Note Tavern : A kind of bar)

I listened to some people sitting on some tables from my place and Erena's.

They were seen talking while drinking during the day. I think they are a party.

(Note Party: Groups of people of 3 or more, who carry out missions or work together on a job.)

And again, I don't drink beer, but Slimenoid.

What is slimenoid,

I tried it, out of curiosity ever since Alice told me it was one of the customers' favorite non-alcoholic drinks.

You asked me if it was delicious, I answered this:

... Erm.

But I felt the texture of the soda while drinking it.

Alice told me that it was a drink made from slime that roamed a lot in the meadow. Their shape is not much different from sugar slime, but there is a little difference if you have seen it often.

I finished drinking the Slimenoid and put the glass on the table...

"Hum..."

The party seemed to be talking about something bullshit.

Now, many people were chatting in this adventurer tavern and I could hear many topics.

Like now is spring, and soon some kind of slime will move to the area around the city.

Or news of the advantages and disadvantages of some powerful monsters. There were a handful of monsters that hated the fishy smell of fish, so smearing the body with it would keep them away.

I had a hard time surviving since the two days I came to this world, and I immediately thought of gathering intelligence in this way.

Gathering information is the most important stage to determine the route you choose.

It's like you have to understand your job stat in the game, and improve your ability according to that job.

Speaking of jobs, I have one skill now. Although I have not chosen any job because my stat is still too weak.

The skill that made the physical of its users increase rapidly in a short time, but it used up a lot of magic energy, Acceleration.

A basic skill that some people didn't want to learn, but somehow I gained this useless ability instead.

To awaken the ability, you have to do something trigger, so you can learn something.

For example, when you are used to being beaten by people, you will get instant healing ability, or immunity.

Although all of that can be learned just by choosing what job to use.

You just have to arrange everything in the union card as you wish.

Basic knowledge like this I got from some novice adventurers who chatted.

But, none of that applies to the girl in front of me.

From the beginning, he already had the fate of the strength of the hero even without a word of the hero.

Just stay used to it for him, to control his strength so as not to faint like before.

"Hey Junma, why are you so frowning like a dazed person?"

Erena said as she looked at me restlessly.

"...? Uh, I was just looking for some information. Why?"

"Nothing, I just don't feel good if I'm the only one eating, and you're not. Why don't you order food?"

"Oh, it turns out you have some shame too... Thank you for not dying of hunger."

I drank my remaining Slimenoid, and finished it.

"Oh, yes.. By the way, can I see your union card?"

"More..."

Erena threw her card like a worthless item at me while continuing to eat it.

When I look at the cards, there are a few different looks from mine. It was like his empty skill bar was a lot, then a lot of high physical stats.

Not to mention, which capacity of his was so abundant.

Heroes are great. Unfortunately, this one is an idiot.

I thought about that while glancing at the beautiful girl who was eating like a barbarian.

I continued to look at the stat in Erena's cartumilage.

On his skill bar were written some skills that he might not even know about.

Dark style, increase the attack power of dark-type magic.

Then...

Darkness of javelin, firing a magic spear towards the opponent and if the opponent dies in a single strike, he will turn into an undead and obey all the commands of the user.

Up next...

"... A moment."

I realized one thing.

One very annoying thing. The one thing that made me want to smash my head into the table.

"Eh? Mapan perverted...? Why is your face so strange? Wait, what do you want? Hey, Junma..."

"Damn you the hero of abal-abal...!!"

"Huaaaaa, I don't understand you why, but I'm sorry...!"
