63 - The Second Mistaken Palace

"We're going to the bathroom!"

"Yes, yes, have a good day."

Next, me."

We paid the lodging fee and got a room, just me, Kikuhime, Ochazuke, and the three of us.

When I left Kikuhime for the room and went to the dining room, Roy and the others were there. I also saw some unfamiliar faces.

"Oh!　You're here."

"Hi."

He lightly raises his hand to answer Roy and looks at Clough. Who are these people?

"Welcome home!"

"Welcome home!"

They greet Peter and cling to him.

"That's the Lolita killer!"

Shin muttered.

"This is the Flame King, the first person to set foot in the labyrinth."

Clough introduces the red-haired man at the next table.

"He's a representative of the party over there, and he'd like to hear about the strategy with you.

"I'm the Flame King, nice to meet you."

He was short but stout, somewhere between a boy and a young man, with fiery red hair that spread like a lion's bill and reached down to his waist." The name "Flame" fits him well.

"Strategy ......"

"Strategy?"

I had no idea what he was talking about when he said "strategy. Shin looked suspicious.

"You don't think I have a plan?

Roy is surprised.

"The boss usually hid behind a stone pillar, and the fastest person could go to the far stone?"

It doesn't sound like much of a plan if you're familiar with the game.

"No, what did you do on the way, or what did you do to prevent people from stealing medicines?"

We introduce ourselves to each other, pull up a table and take our seats.

The Flame King's party members are at the next table, where they can hear the conversation, but do not seem to join in the conversation itself. They introduce themselves, but I'm not sure I can remember them.

"Me and Chrysanthemum of the Shield haven't [release pain] first of all.

"Oops, that's a bad premise."

Dawn says.

"But if you don't have [pain release], the little things called Nazrul will gather and make it impossible to move, and it's so depressing, so I'm going to go and release Kikuhime and myself from now on."

Ochazuke explains.

"If you haven't [released the pain] of the shield, it's not helpful, man."

The Flame King is so ugly. He's got a bad attitude.

"The healer can heal the person who has [pain release], but he can't heal the person who has not healed before. In the beginning, the pain will disappear even if the H! But if you take a lot of damage at once, recover as quickly as possible.

...... was the fact that the recovery didn't come fast enough in the second half of the game intentional, rather than because the enemy got stronger and they were busy recovering Kikuhime?　A new fact we will learn later.

"What happened to the goblin bandits?　We ran out of medicine and Roy couldn't recover in time, so we knocked him out."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Homura had [anti-stealing] on that side, so I just had Homura keep all the recovery medicine."

"Well, it seems that even without theft prevention, it is hard to be stolen if you are fast. Why don't you ask him to hold it for you?"

"Also, it was a lot easier to take the <>!"

Peter adds to Ochazuke's explanation and Leo gives another piece of advice.

"Yeah, if you recover even a little bit, the pain will be a little less and you'll feel a little more comfortable. It also takes away the fear that the recovery will never come.

"Life activation. I've seen it sold at the pharmacy in the labyrinth city (here), it doesn't heal much, but if it helps, I'll give it a try.

The Flame King crosses his arms, wrinkles his brow, and thinks.

"I guess you have to get used to the pain gradually, don't you?

Shirayuri says ruefully as she holds her coffee cup as if it were wrapped around her.

"I don't know how you guys managed to endure the pain and make it to the boss, even if you're only attackers."

"I had no choice but to do it because the two S's told me to!"

Who is only S!

Kikuhime, who had just finished taking a bath and was approaching before I knew it, put her fist in Shin's side. It's a liver gouge.

"Aaah!　Ouch!"

Shin screams and plops down on the desk, clutching his stomach.

"Oh, [release pain], is the attack effective even in the inn?"

"Dada dada dada dada dada!"

Ochazuke pinches Shin to see if it hurts.　

Apparently, he can't use his skills, but he can feel pain from a normal punch. And the Flame King and Roy and the others are a little taken back. Sorry, sorry.

"Well, I'm going to take a bath."

"I'll be back later."

Ochazuke pinches Shin and leaves him alone to take a bath. Don't worry, it doesn't go this far in the real world.

But in the game, it's business as usual, so don't let it bother you.

"This little thing is a shield. It doesn't look like it can withstand the release.

"I don't like the pain, but I'll give it a try."

You didn't like it that much, Nazr. I'd rather endure the pain than be swarmed by mosquitoes.

"I've got a good title, you know."

Shin slipped up.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

"Nice to meet you, man. I'm the Flame King, an offensive warrior.

"I am a shield-oriented warrior and I am from the earth, thank you very much.

He wears a nearly full-face helmet, so I can't make out his face, but his chin suggests that he is a sturdy shield.

"Krull the archer, hello!

This one is a baby-faced boy with cat ears. His hair is cream-colored, and only the tips of his hair, ears and tail are red.

I'm Gilweitzer, the fighter. Call me Gil.

She wears bright red china, black trousers, and heavy knuckles, and is probably the tallest woman with red hair that is swept back. If she didn't talk, she would look wild and handsome.

"I'm Ochazuke, a holy priest, nice to meet you!

"I'm Homura, the Magical Swordsman. Nice to meet you."

Ochazuke goes through, so I kind of go through and greet him too.

Yes, it's a three-party shuffle search.

The party with Kikuhime as a shield is Recovery A, and Leo, Shin, Momiji, and Wizard B as attackers.

The party with Daichi as a shield has Ochazuke as a healer, Flame King as an attacker, myself, Krull as a bowman, and Gilweitzer as a martial artist.

Party with Roy as a shield has Shirayuri as a healer, Peter as an attacker, Kaede, Clau, and Dawn.

AB is a pseudonym.

I couldn't remember all the members of the Fire King's party whom I had only met at the cafeteria, though I had introduced myself to the members of the party. I think Daichi probably took off his helmet in the cafeteria, but don't underestimate my recognition ability, as I still have trouble distinguishing Kaedemomiji from the others. Well, Daichi's hair must have been red too, maybe other members of the Flame King's party were red, that's all I know.

And I changed my skills in a hurry when I could change the level of my skills at the cloaking level 30.

I had erased all the production, but Roy and his friends knew about the cooking and the medicine, so I hid my specialties leaving the safe ones, and set the alchemy level to 1 so that it wouldn't be strange if my specialties were left blank. I decided to lower the level of swordsmanship to make it look like I'm mainly a wizard.

It is not likely that the players will be able to see this information that I have falsified, and even if the level of [Appraisal] is high, only the information that I have put on my guild card will be shown.

And so we are back in the labyrinth.

I take care of all the medicines purchased at the apothecary, and whenever the <> run out, I give them to each player, and return them all before the boss. I asked them to keep the same number of medicines when they were purchased at the apothecary because I could not remember them.

I also exchanged the patka for the items.

There were also three groups of dominatrixes who had come to take the full brunt of the high goblin attack.

It's a wonder I'm one of them. I wonder if it is because I would never suffer such pain in the real world that I am willing to take on the challenge.

"Woah woah woah! Let's go!

Huh!

"Let's go!"

He looks like a man who is ready for a fight, but he is hot in battle, the Flame King. Daichi seems to be doing his job without a care in the world. This is more of a flirtation thing than a real world thing, I get it. I don't dislike it.

I heal Ochazuke, and now Ochazuke who is out of pain heals all of us.

Of course I am in pain too, but Ochazuke has just been "pain free" and is not used to it, and I am the one who should endure the pain and move.

I will be patient here.

"I have the right to live and die!"

I hit the recovery medicine on the oatmeal while smiling broadly. I wonder if I have the qualities of an "S," as I enjoy hitting them as hard as I can.

"That's essentially my role!　I'll get it back!　I'll make sure you get it back!"

Are you guys always like that?"

I was doing the small-battle act, and the Flame King was appalled. Wait! So your hot-bloodedness is real?

It's business as usual.

Give it up.

"......Well, we're only doing this if we work well together."

The Flame King seems to have given up at my and Ochazuke's words.

"You can't smile when you're in pain like this..."

I'll open up the wound.

"We'll heal them all together, Ochazuke."

I guess that's me, huh?

Thank goodness they have the mentality to laugh.

Of course, there are times when the battle is slowed down by pain, but since this is the second time for both of us, we go on without any problems. < to heal the whole body.

Because I missed the bath.

I was ready to wait for the other members to take a bath, but I didn't have the courage to make the other twelve members of the two parties wait for me.

Let's bring wind, fire, and light to this dank, damp cave!　I was in the mood to use it, but the Flame King convinced me that I was using those three attributes as my main ones and that I was the opposite of Haruna, so it's hard to say that other attributes are as good as Haruna. Haruna must be the magician who went to Kikuhime's party.

And then, they are safely in front of the boss.

I'll return the medicine.

"Oh, thank you."

"Oh?　That's how many I left. Didn't you use some of them to heal us on the way?"

I would have done it even if I didn't have it.

The way he used it while enduring the pain seemed to be quite difficult, so I ended up throwing the medicine to him and he was recovering.

"You recovered quite well in the first half.

"Well, until you get used to the pain, we'll be good to each other."

I'm sorry, it was just fun to throw a flask-like bottle of medicine and hit it. I just took [Throwing] so much. It was on the skill list a long time ago, so I only needed 2 skill points.

"Mr. Homura, the other guys are seriously eating..."

"Oh. Too late."

I felt that way on the road. They didn't stop at the stairs to eat leisurely like our party, and I saw them eating and drinking as they walked.

They were sitting on the stairs to take a break because they were in front of the boss, but the other members were eating their own food according to their occupations. The other members are eating food that is appropriate for their occupations, such as grilled skewers and other things sold at street stalls where you can eat and drink as you move around. On the other hand, Ochazuke and I ignore the effect of the status increase and eat curry udon.

The other members are already looking at us, probably because of the smell.

"Think more T.O.!

"Stop saying that while you're slurping. I'm just as guilty.

"Because it's cold here, and the curry udon is delicious."

"I guess we need a tray, as Chrysanthemum Princess says."

Let's go to the general store later."

"No, if you have enough status, you are free to eat.

The Flame King has a very complicated look on his face.

"It smells so good!"

It sure is a little chilly in here.

Oops, it's rare to hear Daichi open his mouth, his voice is low and nice, though his tone sounds like a self-defense officer.

"I didn't care about that before I was released from the pain.

"You can have some if you want."

"By all means, Nyah!"

The curry udon seems to be well received.
