Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
11-1: Explorer 2
This is not the viewpoint of the Secilia.
"In that case, we'll go…"
I told Secilia san so and then left the mansion behind…
Secilia san would attend the same Viscount banquet and Totona had promised to teach the children how to cook and read, so they would stay…
This time, there were both female explorers, Iruna and Jenna in the places of the Secilia san and Totona…
Although they were only as strong as ordinary soldiers, they had been given a complete set of ant shell armor, one-handed sword, and shield by Secilia san…
They should be able to fight well against enemies of a slightly higher level…
"Then, during the time Chevalier was not here either, the leader was Cronoa san, right…?"
"The one in charge of the battle command is Lina, making a decision in a complex situation is Tiane, so I tell you…"
"Hee, that's…"
"Please take care of me, Lina..."
I nodded back to Iruna who spoke to me kindly…
His manner of speaking was somewhat similar to the voice of a man…
"Then Lina, what kind of place is area 11 that we are going to visit today…?"
"Ehh.. We're going to area 11…!"
"That's the plan, is there a problem…?"
A black haired woman named Jenna cut herself between my conversations with Lina…
According to Lina, she looks beautiful…
"Area 11 is a place full of troublesome monsters like Horn Hoppers or Rockhead Bees, right…?"
"That's true…"
"You know it well…"
"That's because the place is notoriously bad…"
"There are plenty of monsters in the area, so desperate explorers whose prey they take sometimes go there, but most die or get injured beyond recovery and retirement…"
I get it, it's tough…
I've heard some good things…
I look forward to…
"Horn Hoppers and Rockhead Bee are certainly difficult, but they're easy to handle because they're straight at you…"
"REally…?"
"I think it's easy for the guy who beat the giant『Hunter Mantis』…?"
"That's right…!"
"If you're going to board a big ship, get on now…"
Lina was the right person to remove the anxiety from this party…
However, I wonder where Lina got the information about the Horn Hoppers and Rockhead Bee…
He must have heard it from the Secilia san, didn't he…?
"Pre…?"
"Tiane san, do we not buy oil for hand lanterns…?"
"That's not necessary"
The inside of the labyrinth is quite bright, not a problem during battle and Mia can use her magic to put light in places without the Sign Monument…
In addition, we also have Light Drop…
"Can we stop for a while at the guild…?"
"I wanted to buy hemostasis ointment because we were out of stock…"
"It's not necessary…"
"Mia can also use healing magic and we'll give you some magic medicine after we enter the labyrinth…"
"O.... magic medicine…?"
"B...really…?"
"That's worth one silver coin for one bottle, right…?"
I had used them easily because the Secilia san had given them the finished ones, but I felt that I should be economical in that regard…
"Your life is more important, you know…"
"Secilia san really doesn't like it if someone she knows is hurt…"
"Therefore, do not think that you should keep it, understand…?"
Lina gave a suggestion while sending her gaze towards me with her eyes turned upside down as if she was reading my thoughts…
That's right, Secilia san is that kind of person…
"What about luminescent stone, or smoke ball and flash ball…?"
"Nn... we have the last two of the San Secilia, but what is done with the luminescent stone…?"
"You dropped them at the labyrinth crossing…"
"Although it stops shining in three days, we will not get lost the way back to the original location if we drop the stones…"
I see, since we are usually directed by the guidance of the perfect Secilia san, we never leave a trace behind…
However, this seemed to be a pretty useful item…
We bought the item in the guild and put it in magic bag << Holding Bag >> entrusted by Secilia san…
Secilia san has warned us not to use our Magic Pouch in public…
"Ehh…"
"Does Tiane san have a skill Item Box…?"
"No, this bag is a magic tool…"
"A, there's such a device, yes…"
"As expected of the person employed by the Nobles alike…"
Both are a bit noisy, right…
Please follow Ciel's example…
He was being carried on Cronoa's arm, hanging quietly…
"They came, four Rockhead Bees…"
"You're a worker bee…!"
"You are not good just because you are strong, so I declare…!"
Four Rockhead Bees rushed at Cronoa who set up his great shield…
Rockhead Bees were monsters that had sturdy heads like rocks…
Secilia san is not here today, so I cannot use the magic edge carelessly.…
Let's continue, it's not because of Cronoa's provocation…
"Ciel.. avoid attacking the head hard and point to the gap in their neck…"
"Roger..."
I moved to the side of the flying bee with the Flickering Movement along with Lina and thrust our spear into the gap between her stone-like shells…
It seemed like a fragile monster, its head separated from its body with just one strike…
Ciel had defeated them without any problems as well…
"Cronoa…!"
"Don't kill that one, drop it on the ground…"
"Understand…!"
Cronoa restrained the latter with his great shield and then dropped it to the ground as instructed by Lina…
"Iruna and Jenna, attack that Rockhead Bee…"
"Is that okay…?"
"The sword will be broken if I attack like this…?"
"It's okay, just attack…!"
"You can break a sword or two…!"
The two hesitated at first, but they ended up moving after the second instruction…
As for the Rockhead Bee, Cronoa had stitched his wings to the ground with his magic sword…
Both of them swung their swords with a weak posture, but did not reach…
"Level 10 enemies are really weak, aren't they…"
"No, no, that conclusion is strange…"
"That's right, even a knight with full body armor would suffer a huge wound if he was hit by this monster…"
That knight definitely didn't have enough courage…
"You two listen to me…"
"When many enemies come, eliminate the last enemy that we held as before…"
"You two attacked the enemy that Cronoa shot…"
"Gee…!"
"It's okay like that…?"
"I feel guilty as if I were a [baggage carrier] throwing stones…"
After I told Iruna who showed disapproval of my instructions that it was for the sake of raising their level, she reluctantly agreed…
This kind of high pride of a knight is fun, not…
"By the way, can I ask you something…?"
"What is it [baggage carrier] that throws stones…?"
"Ahh... did you know that every year during the harvest festival, a large number of children from the surrounding villages and towns come to this labyrinth city to become explorers and [Baggage Carriers]…?"
"Yes, I know…"
"Some of them are unwise…"
"There are some [Baggage Carriers] who are secretly throwing stones at monsters that explorers have desperately defeated and have their levels raised…"
"Such an action is called『Baggage carrier that throws batu』…"
"If [Baggage Carriers] did such a thing even once, he wouldn't be hired by explorers anymore…"
I see, it's like grabbing a prey that has weakened…
Lina and I raised our levels with such a method at the beginning, but I don't have to worry because we have received permission from Secilia san for that…
"Ehh.. parasitic people exist in any world, yes…"
"But, our goal this time is to level you two up, so keep attacking, understand…"
"Yes, I understand…"
"I'm very grateful…"
"We will work hard so that we can quickly become useful…"
Then, the time to talk should be over soon…
Ciel had returned from the other side of the corridor while carrying some Hopper…
"Pretend to be a leader just because you have horns, how ridiculous…!"
There's only a monster this time…
It seems like I won't get a turn, but I remain vigilant around him to prevent Mia from being attacked…
Ciel sneaks between Nana's legs. The Horn Hopper excitedly crashed its entire body at the great shield of Cronoa, but it seemed that it was too powerful, its overbearing horn broke and fell to the ground…
This was the same great shield that did not even let a single wound from the Hunter Mantis' great scythe attack…
This kind of result was not surprising in the least…
"No way, it should be able to penetrate iron plate, you know…?"
"Geez, that's a good shield…"
"You two, move your hands instead of your mouth…"
"Yes…"
"Understand…"
The Horn Hopper was even softer than the previous Rockhead Bee…
The sword both did it better than before…
After confirming that the two had injured, I slashed down with my sword for the final attack…
"Tiane san, we'll be late for dinner if we don't get back soon…"
That's a serious problem…
"Sorry once, we almost reached 100 monsters that were defeated with just three more…"
"Hungry stomach…?"
"Yes…"
"Hamburg steak sensei is waiting…!"
It's a hamburg steak tonight, yeah…
This is somewhat unsatisfactory as there is no filling texture, but Totona can also make steaks…
Putting aside the taste, the glut of monster meat we ate yesterday was quite incredible…
I wonder if this monster meat is also like that…?
"Iruna and Jenna, are these monsters edible…?"
"Un. horn hopper and rockhead bees should be edible…"
"The body of a rockhead is said to be sweet and delicious, although we cannot bring it back with us if we cannot peel the skin of a heavy outer rock…"
"I've never eaten it before, but I've heard of someone…"
I get it, it's delicious, yeah…
I kept my sword and spear and then peeled off the Rockhead Bees stone skin using the demolition knife I wore on my waist…
I lined up Rockhead Bee's flesh on the meat cloth to be brought home, Lina also carried and lined up one flesh the size of a body…
These girls must have been fascinated by the conversation…
When Ciel saw that Lina was also carrying Horn Hopper meat, she was also going to bring the meat in a panic, but I caught her nape, stopping her…
Let's eat a lot today…
"Hey, do Lina and the others always fight in this many battle series…?"
"As expected, we don't usually beat this many monsters…"
"That's right, right…"
"Usually only about 30 monsters…"
"That's right, yeah…"
"Your body won't be able to withstand it if you always fight at this speed…"
I felt that the battle with the higher leveled enemies that we usually did was also difficult, but there was no need to tell the truth and make them feel disappointed…
We got four gold coins from the Rockhead Bees meat that sold at quite a price and also from magic cores that had a higher value that I thought…
Horn Hopper meat sold for 20 copper coins of one monster…
There is no purchase notice for the horns of the Horn Hoppers, but it seems that they can be sold for several large copper coins each if you negotiate well at the gun shop…
I was going to sell all the meat from the Rockhead Bees, but I decided to bring one monster worth of meat as a souvenir for the Secilia san…
We had to pay the carrying tax for the Rockhead Bee's meat and the horns of the Hop Hopper, but judging from Lina who was not complaining about it, the amount was probably correct…
As instructed by the Secilia san , we distributed the income according to the number of people, including the two girls…
Lina counted the amount of money…
And I distributed it…
It should be okay to distribute the parts for the horns of the Horn Hopper after we sell it…
At first both of them refused the division of income because they considered it only as a burden, but Lina told them that it was the order of the Secilia san and they were forced to accept it…
"That's amazing…"
"Produce this much by going into the labyrinth for only half a day…!"
"Yes, earning as much as half a gold coin for each of us is like a dream…"
I told the two who looked like they were going to grow wings and drift about plans for tomorrow…
"We'll be hunting at the same speed tomorrow, so eat some good food and rest today…"
"B-tomorrow too, like that…?"
"Yes, Iruna…"
"I wonder if we can return to the labyrinth city tomorrow…"
I left the two girls worried about Lina to consolt, let's go home quickly…
Totona food is waiting…
