29 - The Second Half of the Tour

I told Galahad and the others that we were taking them down too fast and that people might gather to ask how we were doing. They would probably ask us to join them. The three of us thought that would be too much trouble and decided to wait.

Apparently, they had been insistently asked to exchange patkas at Fast's inn, and they were very angry.

Yes, it's a mystery, isn't it? I thought I saw him choosing the three adventurers as the residents whom he could call conveniently and getting involved with them. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused with the cavalry.

By the way, "N!?C" sounds like "residents", "players" sounds like "gentiles", and "management" sounds like "our god". It may be quite embarrassing if you say "operation" or "management". Or maybe it's a case of quarantine, or maybe he's not so dangerous because there is a god in this world. Before that, please don't say "You're a N!

While we were waiting, we sat in the shade of a tree, eating bolognese for lunch and drinking beer with assorted sausages. The distance and the height of the grass are so high that we are not likely to be seen. They would have been caught by the presence detection, but they would not have bothered to look at the players.

The people disappeared from around us, so we started to fight the boss.

After the boss battle, Camilla and I are supposed to shadow the boss.

Hopefully there will be no one around when we exit.

The second boss was a big goat with four twisted horns. His pupils were blushed and his face was quite vicious.

I was sometimes rushed indiscriminately, but it was not a problem. I was surprised that even Galahad used recovery magic, let alone Eagle and Camilla.

The amount of recovery was different among them, Camilla, Eagle and Galahad in that order.

We did not share the same roles as I used to do with Kikuhime and the others. Galahad and Eagle catch and deflect attacks that are directed at Camilla or myself. We do not have a fixed target on either of us.

They look like they are having fun!

It may be safe to fight according to a rigid theory, but it is mostly work. Galahad and his men are free to fight as they please, without the slightest fear of being attacked.

I have an announcement to make. The Sekan has been defeated solo.

I got the title [Beast Slayer] for my first solo defeat.

I got the , the reward for my first solo defeat.

I got Yag Yakul's pelt x4.

I got the cloak of Yag Yakul.

I got 10 pieces of goat's wool yarn.

I got the ring of dexterity.

I got the transfer stone <.

As soon as he leaves the boss's field, he shadows himself and Eagle. Camilla seems to have shadowed herself and Galahad as planned. The members of the party can see each other through the black haze, but no one else can see them.

Fortunately, there seems to be no players, but just as you are saying this, you see two parties coming toward you from across the meadow.

"There really are a lot of people here, even if it's a town.

"It's like when a new dungeon is discovered."

I wonder if all the secateurs are full?

"Let's get out of here and move to Hoss. You can register Homra later.

Yeah, sure, that's fine.

I was a little surprised to find myself in the temple of Hoss the next moment, thinking that I was going to be moved by tiles. I was told that this was due to the effect of an item called a "return stone," which was different from the one registered in the temple.

I thought I would not have time to use my skills since the boss was defeated so quickly, but it seemed that "not having to worry about the surroundings" gave me a lot of leeway and I could try various things. I was able to try many things. I was able to raise my skills quite a bit, and even the magic that I did not use in the battle earlier was also raised. I wondered if it was because a small amount of experience was distributed to those who used the same type of magic.

"Well, let's finish up!"

"I just realized, why don't we just fight a series of daylizards?　And I don't have to move."

I can't stand the thought of consecutive solo defeats.

"Yeah, let's open up King's Landing!"

"Defeating four bosses is a requirement for promotion to C rank."

Eagle explains.

"If I had an old man make me a sword, I'd be stuck in the labyrinth and never come back.

"At first I was thanking you for taking the trouble to get me the information about the and the [mining], but I want you to come to the labyrinth city as soon as possible."

"Oh, I can see Galahad going to Fast for Homra's food and drinks, can't you?"

Camilla teases.

"Because I'm sure Homra will grow up to be very interesting.

"Okay."

I can't say no if you ask me this, and the only way to do that is to be strong.

We fly north on Foss to Faina, the capital of Geers.

Tiles are so cute!

In no time at all, the landscape behind us is a mixture of forests and fields, and it is only when we look into the distance that we realize that it is gently hilly. After an hour and a bit on my feet, a distance that would take more than two days to cover on foot, I could smell the tide. As we crested the hillside, the ocean filled our field of vision.

The scenery is great, the scenery is great.

The boss is not pretty!

"Finally, a rare boss!"

It's a nice way to end the day!

I never knew there was such a thing as a rare boss!

The boss's name is Fire Polyp. It is covered in fire and splits up.

Normally it is a water polyp and fire does not damage it.

The boss looks like a jellyfish, floating in the air like a translucent, puffy, semi-transparent gyuhi.

What's not so cute is that a round ball of splitting polyps chases random targets for a certain period of time.

If you deal a certain amount of damage to the split polyp, it will come back together again, but I'm the only one running away while it attacks.

Not cool.

I'll let you know. Fire polyp in Faina has been defeated solo.

If the name "fire polyp" is mentioned, does it mean that there will be a separate solo defeat of water polyps? If so, there must be solo kills of other rare bosses.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who can conquer a country solo, but I feel too guilty in this situation.

I got the title of "Gerslayer" for my first solo victory.

I got the reward for my first solo defeat, a .

I got Fire Polyp Mucus x4.

I got the glove of the fire polyp.

I got the magic stone of Fire Polyp.

I got 10 fire polyp eggs.

I got the ring of intelligence.

I got the transfer stone .

Two levels up at once, I'm now at level 25.

I am now 25, but I am not strong at all.

I am not strong enough to handle a great sword like Galahad's and crush anything that stands in my way. My goal is to become a refined swordsman like Eagle. And magic like Camilla.

When I catch up to their level, will I be able to say that I have become strong?

I'll do my best.

Return to Foss.

It is just before sixteen o'clock, and I have really defeated the boss in a day. I feel a little guilty because I didn't do it by myself, but after all this time, I'll just rejoice! I'll have to check my loot later!

We move to Fast, have dinner at a restaurant, and go to Luba's house.

"If we go now, we will reach just in time for sunset.

"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing the Tears of the Moon Goddess for the first time.

"I hear it's beautiful."

"It's true that the circle where the grew was beautiful, glowing faintly in the moonlight."

Ruba is riding in the Eagle's Hagar and I am being carried on the tile again as we ride through the forest. I wanted to pick up a loquat on the way, but I couldn't say anything, so we just kept running and arrived at the point.

"It's fantastic, isn't it?

"Yes."

Eagle and Camilla argue.

When I had only been collecting, all I could see was the pale, fleeting silver glow of the , but now I can see a harder, colder silver glow than the . This must be the << moonlight stone>.

"Oh?"

"Hmm?"

Camilla makes a questioning noise, and Galahad, who was stroking a tile, looks at Camilla. I looked at Camilla, too, and then I looked in the direction where Camilla seemed to be looking at something, and there were five black things that had not been there before.

"He's talking to me!

He shouts in a whisper.

"Is this some kind of Homura event?"

"That's the only dark blessing I can think of. At least I don't remember it."

I don't have one either.

"Same here. I was only half-joking, but it looks like you really have met the spirit of darkness."

<

If you ask me to choose: ......

One is a beast, a black beast like a wolf, the color changing from black to purple at the end of its tail and limbs.

One is a humanoid, a beautiful woman with black wavy hair and purplish skin.

One is bird-shaped, with large black wings that turn purple toward the tips and eyes like purple crystals.

One is a beast, a black cat with wings and purple eyes.

One is a bird, a black owl with a hand-held crown as long as its body.

"I wonder if each of you will choose one of these?"

Eagle says.

"Maybe so."

"I've never met a spirit of darkness before, let alone another."

"Bong, bong, bong."

About one person had a different opinion. Mr. Galahad, you're a good man, a good man, but I'm not so sure I can say so.

"You can choose one of the homura."

"Well, for what it's worth, you came out with the blessing of having a homura."

"I'm not sure what I want, so why don't you just tell me what you want? If it's covered, we'll think about it."

Galahad was a beautiful woman, Luba a cat, Eagle a wolf, and Camilla an owl.

"Then I'll have that bird."

"Are you sure?"

"Well, I can use my own magic to attack, so I'm happy with a spirit that can do what I can't do myself. That bird is cool."

"Thank you. The closer you get to a spirit, the more compatible it becomes with your attribute, so you should call on it often to get to know it better. The more compatible they are, the more powerful their magic will be.

Camilla has other spirits with her. Will her magic be more powerful?　...... is a trap where darkness has not yet learned offensive magic.

Each of them was asked to go before the spirit of their choice and name it.

"Kuroyoh, how about Kuroyoh?"

When I told him my name, he happily put his own forehead on mine and disappeared.

"I never thought I'd be a genie at my age."

Luba chuckles to himself.

"I have a fire spirit, but this is the first time I've had a high level spirit with a name.

"I have fire and medium water spirits. I have fire and medium water spirits. I'll have to figure out how to use the M!

"I have been using fire magic because I am a high-ranking fire spirit, but from now on I have to use dark magic too. I'm glad I didn't choose light in the temple when I was just starting out!"

The three of them encountered a fire spirit together. I guess it was like when I met a water spirit with the tea pickles.

After that, they went back to the town with Galahad using the return stone after collecting and mining respectively.

It seems that we can get a lot of things, such as cavalry and other animals, as we go on.

<, only one piece could be obtained in one digging session, and the number of times it could be obtained in a circle was 10 times. Thanks to the bracelet of <>, I have obtained 20 pieces.

I gave and to Luba and we broke up.

The three swords will be ready in six days. As expected, there was not enough < for the three swords, and Eagle's sword would be mixed with the ore called blue mithril that he had brought with him.

I offered him to use the < for my sword, but he refused.

He also gave me a dizzying amount of money for the <>. No, Galahad and the others are N!C, but it doesn't seem so when we are working together.

"They helped us to raise our level and the price is good.

"I've got a high-ranking spirit of darkness, I'd rather not pay more than I have to, wouldn't you say?"

"Yes, the leveling up is the price for having [mining] done. The dark spirits are worth it."

"Don't worry - these men and I are still earning money in the labyrinth city, so take it.

He handed me the sill.

I tried to give it to Luba as payment for the sword, but he wouldn't accept it either, saying that he had obtained the spirit.

He said, "Besides, I'll get it from the redhead over here. You can use the money to buy a spare wand, this sword doesn't convert magic very well.

At least I left some beer, wine, brandy, bourbon whiskey, and a few bottles of my own liquor.

By the way, each cost 1,000,000 shillings.

Galahad and Eagle paid for eight out of the ten Ruba mined and the twenty I mined.

Yeah, I didn't think it would be 8,000,000 shill. .......

Is there a bank anywhere!
