The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 58S

"Hey…"

"What's wrong ?"

While traveling with Buffalo, I suddenly raised my voice and Mei asked me.

“Oh, no, I saw a monster magic reaction within about 500 meters."

“Five hundred meters? That's a long way. I'm sure they'll be gone by the time we arrive."

Lily answered, but it doesn't look like this.

“No, it looks like they have stayed on the road all this time."

"Are they sleeping?"

“I think this is an ambush."

"I think so. That means he's a smart monster, doesn't it?"

There are many types of demons, ranging from slimes, which may or may not even have instincts, to goblins, which have a certain amount of mind. It was hard to imagine a low-level monster like a slime that would stay in one place without thinking. It is better to assume that they are smart enough to know that people often pass by when they are on the road.

“I want to kill them.”

"Lilly?"

Lily raised her hand, looking very curious. I can understand why he wanted to do his first fight with a monster, but isn't that dangerous?

“I have this.”

"So that's it."

With that, Lily created a 30-centimeter-long ice spear and made it float through the air. Come to think of it, Lily had studied ice magic before space-time magic, right?

“I've never seen Lily's magic before. I was curious to see what kind of magic it was and if it was dangerous I would help it from the side, so it was safe to try.

"Yes! That's fun!"

“But don't approach them as close as 30 meters. That's hazardous.

If he has a long-range and short attack like I do, it doesn't matter, but if he can only attack from a distance, it's a problem, he should not approach until he is sure his attack hit the target.

“I'm fine. ...... My arms itch.”

“Yah, just relax.””

Although the reaction was strong, at most it was a C rank. It was not even close to rank A, which was considered an advanced monster, and might not even be rank B, which was a semi-advanced monster. There was nothing to worry about as long as I stood by his side.

"It's about time."

The distance between us and the monster is now less than 100 meters. It is not surprising that they appear sooner or later.

"NO?

“That's a monster that can camouflage."

There are some animals in the world that imitate each other very cleverly. And it's not just animal privilege. Not only were the animals mimicking each other, there were also monsters based on animals.

“Lily, do you know where it is?”

But for me, with my sonar, the position is clear.

"Hmm maybe. In there?"

Lily pointed at the unnatural ground surface. It's hard to tell the difference from a distance, but the mimicry is so bad that if you look at it closely with suspicious previous information, you can definitely recognize it.

"true."

“Then I will deal with it” immediately

“Good, do.”

It would be difficult for Lily, who had never experienced a real fight, to suddenly make an implied shot. So Mei braked slowly and stopped several tens of meters in front of her.

“Shoot and..... let's go! “Spear Es”!"

Lily created several ice spears larger than the one she had just made, and they seemed to be 40 to 50 centimeters long, and launched them at an extremely fast speed.

The explosion! “The flying Es” Spear with a terrifying voice pierced the monster that imitated it with a very ugly stab.

“Gugyoahhhh!"

The monster that was suddenly hit by the shot jumped up and shouted.

But maybe he got hit in the wrong place, and his cries gradually diminished until he finally bled out and stopped moving.

“That's great, Lily. That was a good blow.

“You're pretty good at it.”

No response to my sonar. It was a sign that the enemy had been completely defeated.

“What kind of a devil is that?

I approached the dead monster and did not want to touch it directly, so I used “Armor Generals” to create a magic arm and grab it. A monster that imitates…

"Kadal?"

“Hmm, this lizard.”

Looking at the huge earth-colored lizard that seemed to be almost 1 meter in size, Mei, who was also approaching to the side, said as she crossed her arms.

"A lizard? What'sthat?"

“It was a C rank subordinate monster that imitated the ground. It feeds on soil like earthworms and takes nutrients from insects and other small creatures in the soil. But in rare cases, it can attack large animals, so the adventurer guild has set it as a target to defeat.

“You know a lot about it.”

“One of our workers is a reptile enthusiast. We have reptile enthusiasts in our workshop, and if you ask me, they look pretty charming."

“Yeah, they're dead. And they even eat big animals, don't they? I guess ordinary people can't handle it."

I thought they were like iguanas. I wonder if it's like an iguana. On the face of the earth, there is often news about reptile lovers who were bitten by their pets to be seriously injured on compilation sites.

“It's often a problem if the pet owner gets eaten."

“Hee……. Please others about it...”.

It's not strange that an earth lizard that has eaten its owner to death and learned to taste humans escapes and ambushes people on the street like this…….

“I'm fine with that. We know the reality and regret the fact that we can't keep it.”

As we were talking about this, Lily, who was stabbing the corpse of an earth lizard with an ice spear, asked me a question.

“Hey, can we sell this?”

“Can we eat the meat or something?

"Oh no. Smells like shit.”

“I'm sure, teeth, claws, and scales are used to make armor. The meat, as you can imagine, smells like soil and is inedible, so just throw it away.”

“Should we dissect it?

"Yes. ......"

“This is your glove.”

"thank you. Can I borrow your knife?”

Lily killed him, so he dissected her. It's the first time Lily dissected her prey, so it took a long time, but it's pretty good.

“Ahhhh, it's done!”

This surgery was completed in about 20 minutes, I think a little faster.

“It takes about 20 minutes.”

“Oh, sure. It would be easier to entrust it to the guild. We have inventory with time stop function.”

“Will the guild dissect it for me?”

“With a certain cost, yes.”

“I hope you tell me that first. ……”

Lily whose hands were covered in blood and dirt despite wearing gloves, wailed with a fed up expression.

“This is a good thing you can learn. You will get used to dismantling it to some extent."

"Yes." Yeah."

There is a difference between not being able to do something and being able to do something but not doing it. At least with this training, he had gained more experience. An ordinary noblewoman would not be able to experience this, so in that case, this was a precious experience.

“Then, let's go. Although we have plenty of time, we don't want to get stuck here.”

"Yes." Yeah."

"Let's go!"

Our journey continues.
