14-14. Joint battle

We'll take him down together.

Frankly, I don't think that's a bad idea.

It's okay?

I replied.

Hmmm, I see. I think it's a good idea, but I don't know how strong Tetsuya is," he said.

I told you I'm strong.

He says he has no idea how strong he is. Well, why don't you show me your status?

Is it possible to show people that status?

Well, it comes up on the board. If you want to see it, you can show it.

I said "status open" and showed it to them. By the way, my status now is.

Here's what happened.

Mek looked at my status.

...What's this status...?

I am astonished.

It's a level 1, but all of its stats are of a high standard. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one. As for the skill of 'corpse absorption', I've never even heard of it.

Oh, my God!　All of them have more than twice the status of my own~.......but how can they be level 1?

Meku muttered in confusion, and Lenya was impressed, then wondered about the fact that it was level 1.

After all, in the common sense of this world, it seems to be quite strange to have this status at level 1.

And 【Corpse Absorption】 seems to be a rare skill.

''Lord, who are you?''

No I mean... It's a skill called [Corpse Absorption], right? I've had this from the start, and it's a skill that's quite useful...

I explained the [Corpse Absorption].

"Absorbing a corpse's ability........ It's an ability I've never heard of.

So?　Can you beat it?

Their defense is remarkably high, so they should be able to defend against the enemy's attacks. He's not too fast, either. It's a bit of a problem for me. The enemies are hard. Well, there are all kinds of monsters in the loopholes. It's just a matter of beating them and using your skills to absorb them. If you fight with Lenya, you'll be able to defeat them.

You might not be able to defeat it in its current state, but if you strengthen it, can you be able to defeat it?

Then you can defeat it?　You did it!　I'm finally getting out of here!

Raina jumps up and down happily.

She's so happy that she's going to be able to get out.

Well, I don't want to be in this valley all the time, to be honest.

I don't know how long I've been here, but by the look of this room, it doesn't look like a week or so.

I haven't decided whether I'll be able to leave yet. I'm more worried that you'll be killed in the process. Maybe you should wait until you're a little stronger before you go.

Mek said to Raina.

'Ew!　We're going to get out of here, right now!　I'm getting a little stronger myself!　The reason I got beaten up today was because I let my guard down a bit!

Raina rebels.

As for me, I'd get out as soon as I could.

I'd like to get out of here as soon as possible. Well, I want to get out of here as soon as possible. Well, I want to get out of here as soon as possible, so we'll have to get going tomorrow, shall we?

I'll be fine.

Let's go!

It was decided that we would go to the valley loophole tomorrow.

After that, we were treated to a meal.

It seemed that they had saved the demon's meat, and since Raina could use simple fire magic, we grilled the meat and ate it.

Meku in his plush state didn't seem to need to eat, so he didn't eat anything.

By the way, it seems that magic is a slightly different thing than skill.

Skills can only be used by using skill points and learning them, but magic can be used by anyone who casts a spell.

However, it seems that the MP required to use it is more than that of a skill.

It's a good thing that I'm not the only one who can use weak magic without consuming much MP, like the magic [Small Fire (Small Fire)] that Lenya used this time.

I've learned some useful magic as well.

The two spells I was taught were 【Small Fire】 and 【Small Light】, which can light up the area.

And the spell is very simple, [Small Fire (Small Fire)] is "Fire" and [Small Light (Small Light)] is "Light". As expected, I can learn this one right away.

After we ate our food, we went to bed.

Nya.........tetsya.......I want you to pet me....

Raina asked.

She has a sleepy look on her face.

Then she slid in close to me and offered me her head, saying, "Unya".

I'm slightly annoyed.

The first time I stroked her, I was stroking her with the intention of petting a cat, so I was able to stroke her without any resistance at all, but after all, stroking a girl's head is a bit nerve-wracking, or....

But Lenya.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

He asks me for help.

I'm troubled and I'm looking at Meku for some reason.

Meku doesn't say anything, but geez, he looks at me.

What about this?　Do you want me to pet him?　Are you asking me not to pet him?

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Raina presses her head against me in a frustrated manner.

I can't help but stroke her head.

I stroked Lenya's head as hard as I could.

I stroke her head as gently and thoughtfully as possible.

When I was stroking her, Lenya let out a pleasant cry and after a while she began to breathe in her sleep.

I think she misses you a lot.

At this point, Meku called out to me.

But don't do anything just because you miss them. But don't do anything just because you miss them.

Hey, how's that for a weird thing to do?

Yes, you're right. Raina won't take kindly to a bad guy. You don't look like the kind of guy who would do that, but just in case.

I'm thrilled by the strange suspicion.

In fact, I don't want to do this or that to a girl this young. I don't have the guts to do that, even if they were close in age.

I haven't been a virgin for 25 years.

We'll be in this valley for two years, but will we be able to leave tomorrow at last?

You've been here for two years!　I'm surprised.

I've been here for two years when I've been here for a day and I'm getting pretty sick of it.

Tomorrow, I have to win and get out of this valley.

Something like a sense of duty came over me.

Then sleepiness set in and I went to bed too.
