32 - Invitation to Alliance

I'm here for the second training of the Order of the Knights.

I'm currently in the middle of a teamfight with a knight ramp.

I am taking a sword swinging down at me as usual, but it is very hard to take a sword swinging from a two-handed sword, as if my arms are being damaged. Can't I pass it off?

If I take a wrong angle, I might be hit in the brain with my own sword.

I was praised for my fast strike, but I was easily caught because I was following a kata. I should attack him out of kata because of his relaxed attitude.　I can't help but think.

I thought that my arm strength was not strong enough. The training session was over after the E!

I drink a cup of tea in a corner of the training area. I really want to eat a sandwich or something, but I haven't seen anyone eating here yet. Well, the barracks are close by, so I guess there is no need to take food outside.

The lamps were set to come in and explain about the knights in training over a cup of tea.

I'll let you know. The party of Roy, Shillary, Dawn, Kaede, Momiji and Kurau have discovered a special dungeon.

I hereby release this information.

In this other world, there are many dungeons, some of which require two or more parties, and some of which require solo players.

We hope you enjoy exploring the various dungeons.

Oh, Roy and his friends are doing a great job. It's nice to hear a name I know.

Leo has caught the "Thar no Nushi.

Gotta laugh when a name you know is played!

It's rare that Leo is still awake after midnight, he must be having a lot of fun.

While I'm clearing out the drops at the guild, listening to the voices of the world, I get a text message.

>

It was Roy.

It's short!　Where the hell is this dungeon?

>

A follow-up email followed from Claud.

Ochazuke also sent an email and we decided to meet at the temple. The meeting was in two hours, and Leo would be outside. No, can Leo come back?　Sir, right?

<. I buy more than I did last time because I ran out. There is plenty of room in the item pouch, thanks to the transfer of the stuff to storage.

The used bookstore is not open, probably because of the early hour. It has been long after sunrise, but I have a feeling that the used bookstore would not open until the afternoon, perhaps because the owner has an unhealthy image of staying up until midnight reading books. And in fact, it is not open.

Cooking in the kitchen of the production facility.

I roast a lamb from the bazaar, or make a stew of venison in brown sauce, put it in a jar and cover it with a pie.

And a recipe purchased at a restaurant for the goodness of having a sill10,11.

I learned to "pickle" pickles, nuts in honey and berries in syrup, and to "freeze" ice cream, sherbet and popsicles.

She received a rating of 10 for roast lamb and stew in a jar.

The benefit of 10 rating was 2% increase of arm strength for 15 minutes and 4% increase of cold resistance for 20 minutes, respectively. Although I still have some stock, I tried making tea and coffee, and received a rating of 10 for increased intelligence.

It seems that the time is increased by % depending on the level of ingredients and the number of steps involved in the cooking. So far, the best is 4% for 20 minutes for a stew in a jar made from venison stew. The only problem is that it is cold resistant.

There is still a lot of time left, so I drink a cup of tea in the plaza while conducting a one-man appraisal contest of people and equipment. I bought a cup, but it's not useful at all since I mostly drink outside.

I thought that the <> would disappear when I use my skills, but the effects of <> and <> do not disappear even if I use them.

When I got to 5 in concealment, I was able to hide the skill intentionally.

For the time being, I will try to hide only . The hidden skills are not visible even if someone else uses 【Appraise Animal and Plant】, but if you use 【Ganban】 and your level of 【Appraise Animal and Plant】 is higher than 10, you can see the hidden skills.

My [Animal Demon Identification] is still level 5, and I can only see the name, level, and rank of the animal.

When I went to the temple, it was a little early, but everyone was there except for Shin.

"Wasn't Leo Sir?　How did you get back?"

"I'm back dead!"

"Wow. Are you okay with the desperation?"

It's still on!

"They said it would be gone in two hours, so I'll have plenty of time to get to the dungeon."

Ochazuke is a good bet.

"In Leo's case, I'm worried he'll fall asleep."

Shin arrives on time and heads for Hoss, the rendezvous is at the east gate.

"Oh, shit. I didn't think about the travel time in the city of Hoth.

We were supposed to meet Roy and his group in two hours, but it seems that we had set our own meeting for two hours later. At Ochazuke's words, we jumped on the wagon and ran to the east gate, a trap.

Sorry!

Sorry to keep you waiting!

"I'm sorry, sir.

Ha-ha-ha!　Sorry!"

"I didn't calculate the time."

I'm late!

"Oh, there you are."

"Let's get moving!"

""Dungeon, dungeon""

We met up with Roy and the others, apologizing to each other, and quickly moved on.

"Can't we open a new town?"

"Oh, no, I can't find the boss."

Walking and talking with Clau. In the front are the fast, sifu-derived Peter, Leo, Momiji, and Kaede.

...... except for Peter, they are so small that Peter looks like a very loli shorty guy and I can't stop looking at him warmly.

I shivered and Peter turned to me. Of course I smile and crack a smile.

The RORISHOTA

Peter is disappointed and says to Clough.

"You didn't beat Sir's boss, so you're not going to get it?"

I don't remember the boss of Faina being that far away from the capital or in a hard-to-find place, so that's about the only reason I can think of for not being able to find it.

"Oh, I see. I'll talk to Roy later."

"Then again, some professions are more hidden or unusual than others."

"Yes, I was surprised to find myself changing jobs so early.

Clough's occupation, he was told, was . I've never seen this profession before, though I've been checking out the plaza.

I have not asked him how he became a , because the way to become a is a mystery, and if I asked him, he would not be able to become a or he would become a degraded version of . However, I heard that he changed his occupation much earlier. And he has the blessing of Tasha, the wood god, the god of magic, alchemy, and law.

When I told him that it would be very powerful if he became an offensive magician, he replied that it was not in his nature.

On the one hand, I think it's a bit of a waste, since he is probably well-equipped for his first defeat, but on the other hand, I can sense his laid-back, peace-loving atmosphere, which is typical of Kurau, even though we have only known each other for a short time.

It's fun to play with offensive magic, though.

Foss has a lot of forests. After passing through forests and rolling plains, we gradually came to more and more rocks, and the entrance to the dungeon was hidden by the rocks at the beginning of a large hillside. Moreover, there were already people there before us.

"Oh, you found it, but you haven't cleared it yet?　It's not easy when there are only a few of us and we have to work with the weak ones, so let me clear the area first.

As soon as he saw me, he said so and disappeared on a plate.

"I wonder, did you wait for me just to say that?"

"That's too much time, isn't it?"

Sorry to drag you into this."

The room at the entrance to the dungeon had two plates on the floor, and Roy and the others said that two parties could enter the dungeon by getting on them.

"We tried to get in at 3-3 and it was too tight, so we went back to death."

"So that's how you got the invitation."

"Oh, yeah."

"So, the dungeon on the right has Wraiths and Slimes and other enemies for wizards, and the one on the left has Ghost Mushrooms and Skeletons and such, what should the party do?　Shall we shuffle between magic and physical?"

Me → Magical Swordsman (via Mage -> Swordsman)

Ochazuke → Holy law user (via healer → fencer)

Chrysanthemum Princess → Warrior (via Swordsman → Thief)

Shin → Magic fist (via fencer → mage)

Peter → secret agent (via shifu to sorcerer)

Leo → secret agent (via shifu → healer)

Roy → Warrior (via Swordsman)

Shillayuri → Holy law user (via healer)

Dawn → martial artist (via fist fighter)

Clough → Hermit (via Mage)

Momiji → secret agent (via shifu → healer)

Kaede → Archer (via Thief → Mage)

We taught each other our professions and discussed them with each other.

Roy, Ochazuke, I, Dawn, Leo, Momiji

Kikuhime, Shirayuri, Kurau, Petero, Shin, Kaede

This is the result of the above combination.

Kikuhime's party heads for the dungeon where the Wraiths are.

Kurau is enchanted, and Peter, Shin, and Kaede can use magic since they are mages. I'm on the mushroom side, just in case the mushrooms also have wraiths.

The party leaders form an alliance with each other on the plate, and when the plate is surrounded by a white light and the light subsides, we are in a cave that has been manned. The cave was dimly lit with a faint glow on the walls and floor, and the walls were reinforced in places.

"Well, it's not too small for walking, but it's too small for fighting, so if there are rooms, we should try to fight in them. If enemies appear in the passage, please refrain from attacking them until I catch them, take their targets, and make them turn their heads to the other side.

"Yes, sir. It's a little cramped, so I'll probably do my magic in the back."

"Roy, pull over a little to the right. It's not easy with three physicals behind you and a wall, so I'll fight on the side as much as I can.

"Right, Leo, don't be a prude!"

Dawn suggests, and Ochazuke cautions Leo, but I'm rather afraid of the roughness of my magic hitting my allies.

"Hey!　Speaking of which, can Momiji use [surprise attack]?"

"Yes, I can!

"Then good, let's get Homura to cast on us and [surprise attack]!"

Leo seems to have gotten a taste for the power of [surprise attack] in the previous battle on the trip to Hoth.

"Okay, but I want to level up my other magic, so I'll only do it once every other time."

He learned , at level 3 and at level 5, but he has not learned anything since then until level 10.

It is easy to raise the level of the spell by casting it while moving around.

I had hoped that he would learn something at level 10, but he learned nothing. Light learned <> at 3, which also has a silence effect. Darkness targets a field, while Light targets an individual. Darkness is effective against many enemies, but it is ineffective when an enemy leaves the specified field, while Light remains effective even if an enemy moves, but only on a single enemy.

When will they learn the next magic?

Will we learn magic with similar effects for light and darkness in case we can only take one of them?

While I was thinking about that, the battle begins.

Four ghost mushrooms appeared.

Roy runs toward them as they appear in the aisle and passes them by slamming the large shield in his left hand against them, and the ghost mushrooms follow Roy and turn their backs to us.

"[Hide in Shadow]"

"[Tiger] <"

Dawn's kick, despite her large body, reminds me of a tiger, just like the name of the technique. It should be the same technique, but it is very different from Shin's. One reminds me of a large beast of the cat family and the other of the dog family.

I must improve myself.

"Spirit of Water<<>"

"To Leo ."

At any rate, since this is my first time with the three of you, I'll make a declaration so that you know what I'm going to do.

Leo seems to be waiting for me.

Summoning the spirits!

"Wow, what a moon!"

"She's beautiful, but she looks like a bad girl..."

The three of them are upset by the haunted mushrooms that begin to fight each other. Ochazuke-san seems to have no intention of holding back from the start.

"Ha-ha-ha!　[surprise attack]!"

"Oh!　I see...so you can do a [surprise attack] if you put <> on it."

Roy is admiringly fixing the second one's tag, but when the ghost mushrooms [surprise attack] stops them and they fall down, they spew spores all over the area with a bang, and four people in close proximity, including Roy, are poisoned.

"Oof!"

Ochazuke, who was about to throw a projectile, hurriedly casts a poison-dispelling spell on Roy.

"Momiji ni !"

I know why this cave is so bright when I see the spores blown away with a whiff. The spores from earlier were glowing brightly on the floor.

"Uh-oh!"

I killed two more, and Leo, who was still poisoned from the first one, was in trouble. It seems that this poison is multiply poisoned. H!?

H!?,The amount of poison is decreasing. I kill the last one before Leo's life runs out and finish the first round.
