Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
14-3: Power Leveling
This is not the point of view of the Secilia
"Thank you for taking care of me today…"
I greet Baronrt Muno's daughter in front of the explorer Guild…
He splashed his luxurious golden-colored hair backwards, tilting his body while looking displeased…
Even if I was referred by the Secilia san, it must have been unpleasant when outsiders suddenly took part…
"Same karina…?"
"It's nothing…"
"Just don't be an obstacle…"
"Sin…?"
"Tsuntsun is not a good thing…"
"Zena is good at wind magic…"
"He won't be an obstacle…"
Karina similarly criticized me with some harsh words, but she reluctantly accepted my participation with Lina and the mediation of others…
My chest ached a little when I saw the same Karina who was flushed red as Secilia san whispered something in her ear…
"Moth…"
"That's Maze Moth…"
The two featherkins fired light crossbows towards Ciel who acted as the vanguard, pointing…
The Maze Moth was hit with two arrows and fell to the ground…
Their shot was as good as Lilio even though they were very small…
They must have undergone rigorous training ever since they were self-aware, no doubt about it…
We only fought with the weak like maze moths and for the sake of goblins during the journey so far as other explorers worked hard (to finish off monsters)…
The same Gina [Moonlight] had told me that there were only a few monsters in the main corridor connecting between the areas…
"Be careful, we will soon arrive at Area 19 of our destination.…"
Everyone including me nodded at the warning of the Secilia san…
We passed through the crevice of the row of rocks that blocked the main corridor…
Ciel first said, “Trap”, and then he went to the corner of the corridor with careful steps…
"Procedure.. Canceled…"
"As expected of Ciel…!"
Quick
To cancel it out with just a slight rustle of such a shadow…
"The monster came from the front…"
"It's needle caterpillar(Needle Crawler)…"
"They can shoot needles that can knock you out, so don't hit you, you know…?"
"It's okay…"
"It's okay if they don't hit you…!"
Despite Needle Crawler's dull appearance, he came to us faster than a man running…
"Zena san, please install defensive magic…"
"Yes…!"
Ohh no…
I should have chanting before Secilia san urged me…
I started chanting wind magic [] in a panic…
However, the Needle Crawler approached faster than magic made a ramming, stopping, then its body spread out and prepared to shoot…
I'm not gonna make it…
But, I can't stop the chanting…
I will stop some of them at least…!
"Caterpillar…!"
"Shooting needles, acting like you're an archer, is ridiculous so I'm scoffing…!"
Cronoa san who was holding a great shield came forward and provoked him…
Countless needles shot out by Needle Crawler rushed towards him…
I felt a chill down my back as the rapier-sized needles flew out one by one…
The dying figure of Cronoa san who had been pierced with countless needles along with his shield threat…
Such hallucinations do not happen fortunately…
His great shield made from materials I had never seen before reflected the needle that struck while leaving a heavy sound…
Ciel skillfully intercepted some needles that had escaped his great shield…
The magic [] which had finally been used held the second needle…
"This monster is a bit dangerous, yes…"
"Sorry but don't use this monster for [Power leveling]…"
"Save it with Cronoa's magic before you get close if you find it…"
"Yes, master…"
A term I do not understand is mixed between the words of the Secilia san…
But I don't think this is the time to talk…
"Ciel, Lina, let's destroy it…"
"Follow me…"
"Don't worry…"
"Roger…"
Tiane and the others rushed towards the space where the third needle flew…
They are too reckless no matter how you look at them…
"Wait…!"
Karina similarly told them to stop, but Tiane and the others did not stop…
But, I misunderstood…
Karina similarly joined the battleground where needles flew around…
With her golden hair fluttering from her helmet, her beautiful limbs danced in the air as if she was the incarnation of the beauty herself…
Secilia san stopped me who was captivated and had stepped forward…
"That's dangerous…"
"The four can handle it…"
As he said, Tiane and the other two people easily defeated the monster…
Not only did spear Tiane, Lina and Ciel's weapons also illuminate the red light, they were definitely magic swords…
Karina similarly swung the Heavy Hammer she shouldered, dropping the entire body of the monster onto the ground…
A tentacle-like whip came out from the head of the Needle Crawler towards Karina similarly…
However, a small shield appeared in front of him holding back the tentacle even though it was cracking because of it…
Is that magic…?
Or a magic tool…?
Secilia san who had noticed my line of sight called out to me…
"Karina is just as fine as she has protection from the Magic Creature Raka…"
It seemed like the embellishments on his neck and limbs were Intelligent Items…
It has a family heirloom that only appears in such fairy tales, as expected of the lord of the territory…
She was rich besides being beautiful, it was truly envious…
"Water Blast…"
My magic cut off the Moth Armor that rushed here…
A little later, featherkin shot out their light crossbow…
Spear Tiane, doeble sword Lina cut through his armor, the stone throw of Ciel made a hole in his wings…
Karina was the same and her two female soldiers took turns to attack once, and lastly the three girls finished the battle…
Even though my magic and the attacks of the girls were reflected by his armor, Lina, Tiane and the others easily cut it…
I think this is the difference between us and the Mithril Explorer…
One needs a lot in strength to stand on the side of the Secilia san...
I feel uneasy about my remaining magic power after doing so many battles, but it should have run out sooner had it not been for the staff I received from Kuro san…
Even though I feel dizzy after using my excessive magic, I will not be able to catch up with Secilia san and the others if I rest…
I will fight with the Magic Short Sword that I received along with this long stick if I run out of magic power…
"Are you tired…?"
"S-I'm fine…!"
I mustered up the courage not to make Secilia san worry…
"Take this and refresh yourself with this…"
I received the small bottle he gave me with worry and drank the orange-flavored liquid…
I felt that magic power was rising from inside my body, easing into dizziness…
Don't tell me it's magic power recovery potion…?
My question was quickly affirmed, but the magic potion I knew was hard to drink with the strong scent of grass…
Moreover, despite being worth several silver coins even for one, he said, “I have many” and give me more bottles of magic potions…
"Recovering magic power with meditation will take time, so please drink it freely…"
Even though he said that, I don't think I can drink this expensive magic potion easily…
Even within the territorial army, it is a precious item given to me only one bottle of magic potion for emergencies...
I feel like this is going to make my judgment feel broken…
I wonder how many monsters we have defeated…
I understand why the eyes of the two Karina guards look just like a dead fish when they enter the labyrinth…
They had repeated the unreasonable way of fighting day after day…
Both guards declared their physical condition bad right after the featherkin, so we rested in a small room called Safety Zone, guided by the Secilia san…
Come to think of it, Secilia san has guided our journey so far, but I have never seen her use a luminance stone to check her path, nor has she checked the map even once…
I wonder if he has memorized all the routes…?
Secilia san had never pulled the mithril sword on her waist so far…
He must be in charge of direction and mapping…
"Zena, a ~ n."
"Thank you…"
I received the honey cake that Ciel served and put it in my mouth…
It was sweet enough to be too sweet, but at this time, this sweetness spread favorably…
I was asleep before I realized it…
I lay on the carpet with a soft feel placed on the ground…
When I looked up, I saw Ciel secretly playing a game that resembled a signal with their hands…
"Are you awake…?"
I received a tureen and a spoon from Secilia san, who said ”You're hungry, right?”, presenting me…
Tureen is warm with appetizing steam…
Steam…?
I saw a hot pot being heated behind the Secilia san…
It seems like he's cooking inside the labyrinth…
The people of [Moonlight] had taught me that it was an act that should not be done because it would gather monsters…
"It's okay because it's a safety zone…"
As if reading my anxiety, Secilia san told me in a calm tone like she was whispering…
When I was with him, I felt like I was hallucinating in the middle of the city…
The thick vegetable stew I ate was more delicious than any other dish I had ever eaten…
That's why, I subconsciously asked for a second dish…
Too good it's not fair…
My body feels light thanks to a deep sleep…
I have a feeling that my magic power has increased…
We continue the same series of battles after the break, but we can now defeat the enemy reliably as everyone has understood their role…
It emerged from the Gushing Hole as if to pierce such recklessness…
Scissor Centipede's…
His extremely long body looked like a tower when standing, the sharp claws on the tip of his countless feet were shaped like swords…
And, the crab-like claw on the side of his head was emitting a cruel red light…
The claw swung towards me frozen on the gigantic centipede body…
Right now we are fighting with nearly 10 powerful monsters…
No one could prevent that fiendish blade…
Even though I knew it was a waste, I held my scepter to hold the swinging claw…
Another enemy will stab me if I dodge to the side…
Just before the claw split the two sticks, two black tornadoes cut through…
After kicking away the swing of the right claw, Secilia san who appeared out of nowhere brought me to a safe location…
"It's okay now…"
Secilia san smiled refreshingly as if to make me feel relieved…
He still looks relaxed even though he just saved me from danger…
Very agile, as always…
"Insolent fools who tried to lay their hands on Zena were the same…"
The left-hand claw that was chasing us was held back by the red spear, making it penetrate the ground instead…
Lina held the red spear in one hand and used her other hand to push the left claw into the ground…
The hand seemed to glow red…
"A mere centipede who tried to fight against Secilia and Zena, you were a hundred years too soon…"
Shortly after Lina's words, the left claw was smashed with an explosive sound…
What magic was that…?
He could use a spear and doeble sword…
"Tiane, I leave the rest to you…"
"Understand…"
The Tiane Spear clad in red light emitted an even stronger red glow, was it the Magic Edge…?
I wonder if his secret skill is [Magic Edge]…?
He pulled back the spear to the limit, and then thrust it towards centipede one way…
This was not the distance that spear could reach, no matter how long…
Ehh…?
Red light protrusions fly from the tip of the spear like a cannon ball, hitting the centipede head…
When the light disappeared, a centipede figure with a large hole in his head appeared…
Is that possible, the [Magic Edge] shooting technique that appeared in the hero stories I had read about in my childhood…
I thought it was just artificial, I never thought it really existed…
However, there was no leeway for me to be distracted from that other matter…
Centipede who had lost its head was split on its joints and came attacking like a different creature…
"Magic Edge Cannon…!"
"Majin Cannon, How many…?"
"More…!"
"Falcon's Phalanx…"
Blown out in a carefree voice, Ciel and Lina smashed Block Pedes with countless red bullets they shot from their location…
I saw a dream, I wondered…
I forgot to support them with wind magic, because I could only see the spectacle, dumbfounded…
I was shocked when I checked my growth in the Explorers Guild…
My level increased from 17 to 24 in just one day…
It's said that growth is fast in the labyrinth, but this is too fast no matter how you look at it…
It shouldn't be strange for Lina and the two other helpless people, to turn into superior explorers in just a few months…
Perhaps, the guidance and orders of Secilia san are extraordinary…
Except in one case of Gushing Hole, I never felt that my life was in danger even after we had fought continuous battles…
When I was in the labyrinth with everyone from the Seryuu City Selected Labyrinth Corps, I felt that every battle risked my life even though we were only fighting a minor enemy…
We need knowledge and experience to cover this difference…
I'll ask if I can get into the Training School that Secilia managed next time…
During the labyrinth exploration, I tried to talk to Karina the same many times, but she only answered briefly, “Ya”, or “You're right”…
One time, we had a conversation that continued a bit with Secilia san as the topic, but her guard made fun of her, making her annoyed…
Although she looked like a striking beauty, she seemed to be very innocent…
I think I want to be friends with him…
During that labyrinth exploration, I remember sympathizing with him who really wanted nothing more than to become stronger, without complaining though…
He may be my rival, but one day I want to talk all night about the Secilia san, accompanied by a drink, with him…
And then, one day, together with the two of us will arrive at the height where Secilia san and the others are…
