137-Chapter 8-13 Escape

After I finished my work in the Goblin's den, I decided to return to earth with the Sakharath brothers. I decided to carry the Sakharat brothers and their attendants in my dimension bag, and I was about to return to the entrance of the den and seal the hole with magic when Grandpa and Aguri arrived. They looked at me, then looked around and noticed that the Sakarat brothers weren't there.

"You didn't make it?

I was about to say at the same time and say a silent prayer, but when I heard that they were in my bag, I returned to my relief. However, when Aguri looked into the bag to check on them, Aguri's face was grim because they were sleeping while snoring. As it was, it looked like Aguri was going to drag them out and start lecturing them, but Grandpa convinced him that they had been through a lot, so let them get some sleep, and so Aguri quietly withdrew.

After that, he carefully closed the hole and marked it enough to make himself recognizable before returning to the ground. On the ground, Ted and Wright also looked worried, but both of them also looked at the Sakarat brothers in their bags and said something about them.

I asked Aguri what was going to happen next, and he said that he wanted them to show up at the guild, just in case. Apparently, he had already reported the matter of the Sakarat brothers to the head of the guild, and they were in the process of coordinating the information with the guild. If you don't go soon, the head of the guild may decide to send information to the adventurers.

The information in this case was that a new section had been discovered in the dungeon, and once the information was disclosed, adventurers would pour into the new section at once, and minerals and materials that I had yet to discover would be taken away. I haven't fully investigated, but I brought most of what I could see with me, so I'm not too disappointed that they took away the materials I hadn't discovered, but I felt it was a shame not to be able to monopolize that space.

''With all this Tanikaze stuff going on...''

You must give up. You can't blame her for going to the guild to explain, since she is a member of the Tamer's Guild and she was the one who saved you.

I know what Grandpa is saying, but he's clearly going to do something to Tanikaze. I'd like to give him some advice, but I can't imagine that he wouldn't do anything with all those interesting things in front of him, given his personality. The trouble is, he's my grandfather. It's obvious that he's going to mess with something.

As it was, as we left the dungeon, I left my grandfather, who was going to his master's workshop, and I headed to the Adventurer's Guild with Aguri and the others. The adventurers we passed didn't seem to be getting excited about the new section of the guild, as they hadn't leaked any information about it yet.

When we arrived at the guild, we were immediately escorted to the guild leader's room by a staff member who noticed us. At this time, some adventurers seemed to be suspicious of the staff's behavior, but when they noticed me, they immediately looked back. They thought I was being called out for something about an octopus or something. Maybe he thought I had done something wrong again, but for once, I wanted to thank him for my troubled nature. Just a little bit, really...

As soon as I was shown into the guild leader's room, I was to explain the situation to him. All I have to say is that the Sakarat brothers told me about the situation, and that the new section of the city has been turned into a goblin den, and although there was a Goblin King in there, he was able to get rid of him without any problems. All I know is that they found the remains of an adventurer who was supposedly fed to the goblins. At that time, I advised the head of the guild to leave the remains to the church, but the head of the guild, perhaps because he didn't want the church to influence the guild, said that the guild will hold a mourning ceremony by the main body of the guild, and in the middle of that ceremony, he will leave part of the progress to the priest.

The guild is responsible for this matter, so they can do as they please, but they want me to attend the ceremony. It's a good idea to make sure that you're a member of the guild so that you can get rid of any solicitation from the church. Ostensibly, he was going to participate voluntarily, but in reality, he was going to be paid 100,000 G as a request from the adventurer's guild. However, since it would cause a lot of trouble if this was discovered, it was decided that the payment would not be made as a reward, but as a reward for finding the remains, and a contract would not be written.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about, but it's not a good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about. I'm not a guild chief who doesn't understand such things, so I'm willing to trust him without a contract.

''So, about the new section I'll make an announcement about it. But in ten days time.

They can't keep it a secret for one individual against the new plot reported to the guild, according to the stone. I guess the reason I gave them ten days to do what they want is because they can do what they want until then. We must hurry up with the mining.

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the brothers Sakharat, the source of all this fuss, have to say about it.

After all, the guild has decided that the two of them have acted rashly, and it seems that the sermon will be given by the guild leader in person. And since Aguri will also join in, it will be a truly hellish time for the two of them... If I hadn't healed my injuries, I might have been able to make a little time for the sermon, but I kept quiet because I felt like I would be resented if I said so.

'Good for you both. Two hells will be forgiven once.

It may be less frequent, but it will be thicker...　

Then maybe it would have been better if you split it up into two parts...

Leaving the two of them dejected, I left the guild leader's room and headed for my master's workshop. If I didn't go quickly, the new Tanikaze would give me some strange modifications! With that in mind, I ran through the city as fast as I could. That's why I was able to thwart the ambitions of my master and grandfather at the very last minute.

At the foot of the two of them, there are a number of parts lying around that seem to be prototypes. Probably those parts were just shaped, but they were just before making a device to attach to the body. If they had been made, they would have been installed by mistake.

My master and grandpa were almost tongue-tied in frustration that I had arrived on time and thwarted their plans. Ignoring them, I took a look at the parts that were about to be installed, and found that they had prepared all of them in a very short time.

The first thing that caught my eye was the wings that looked like a pegasus. I don't see how they could be used for anything other than decoration. According to the master, it is intended to have the effect of increasing the magic power of the new Tanikaze, but if I put such a thing on my back, there will be nowhere for me to ride.

Next, this is another cannon-like tube to attach to your back. It was like a horse version of a cannon, with the barrels on both sides of the neck. According to the master, this tube can be used to fire magic. However, this tube seems to be a prototype and has never succeeded at a practical level. The reason for its failure is the lack of precision and quantity of magic, the lack of range and power, and according to the latest experiments, it's no more useless than a child's fireball.... So, what if I were to do it? It seems that they tried to install it with the idea that it would be a good idea.

The last one is a "pile bunker" that is attached to the side of the body, and although it seems to be the most practical equipment, once fired, it doesn't return to normal automatically. Moreover, the range is short, and the recoil when firing is too great, so there is a chance that you could fall off the tube if you're not careful. He also thought I could handle it. By the way, the launch is powered by the recoil from the air compressed by the "magic circle of wind" behind the pile and inside the tube.

'Don't use people as test subjects but I like the pile bunker.

They both looked happy to hear my words, especially the master, but

'I don't need stakes, and the tube doesn't have to be this big. More simply, I'd like to have enough foothold to stand on while riding.

When he heard the rest of the story, he was disappointed to hear his master's words. Ignoring the drooping master, I went over the ideas with his students. We decided to make the tube of the pile bunker that master was going to wear, but with a width of about 20 cm to cover the bottom of the saddle, and a sharp tip of the scaffold to reduce air resistance. If it worked, it would be more sturdy than the stirrups, and it would be harder to lose your balance when wielding a weapon. However, we are going to try it out first, and we plan to tie it to the body with a belt, with stirrups in the meantime.

Grandpa was in on the discussion, and he was the only one who didn't take part in the discussion about the new Tanikaze attachment.

After that, the master, who couldn't participate in the discussion and sulked, started to make the neck part by himself and didn't let anyone help him... I was worried that he might do some strange gimmick, but from what I saw, he seemed to be making it as we discussed at the beginning.

At the end of the day's work, just when it was time to go home, a sulking Amur came into the workshop. He approached me with a pouty face and began to kick me silently in the shins.

I reflexively kicked Amur's leg back, and the tip of my shoe made a critical hit on his shin, causing him to sit down on the ground while holding his shin.

''Are you alright, Amour.........go!

Maybe I kicked too hard? I was about to place my hand on his shoulder, worried, when Amur suddenly started to move and bit my hand. I hurriedly pulled away and looked at the bite and saw that there was a distinct dental mark on my right hand, around the bottom of my little finger. The bite mark is red, but no blood has come out, so Amur must have taken it easy in his own way, but if he made a mistake, his finger could have been bitten off.

This is not a joke! Amur!　

Temma bad.

Even when I'm angry, Amur turns away. I don't know what's frustrating him, but he's puffing out his cheeks and bashing the ground with his tail.

'There you are!'

In the workshop, where the atmosphere is deteriorating, a voice filled with anger now resounds.

The owner of the voice is a hair-raising, angry Blanca. We were very surprised by the sudden appearance, and the atmosphere that had just existed is now foggy. Blanca ignored our astonishment and approached Amur and silently dropped her genkotsu. It hadn't been that long since we'd met these two, but how many times had we seen this scene? I was able to keep my cool enough to think that.

'I'm sorry for making a scene Temma, those hand bites I'm sorry.

Blanca found Amour's teeth marks on my hand and dropped the genset on Amour again.

'So what the hell happened? When I ask Amur about it, he just says it's my fault.

'And that's the thing, you know, your little guy, he followed Tenma into the dungeon, but he kept wandering around because he didn't know where he was, and in the end, he just left me there and ran off at a run. . Thanks to this, I had to go looking for it near the lake I had explored before. I got there and then returned to the surface, but I heard that the young lady had returned from the dungeon first, which is why I came running here.

When I looked closely at Blanca who said that, I saw that she had scars all over her body. He seemed so worried about Amur that he didn't seem to notice his outfit.

Afterwards, when I talked to Amur with Blanca and Grandpa between them, I understood why Amur was angry... well, in conclusion, it was Amur taking it out on me...

To explain it in simple terms, I dive into the dungeon - I'm called by my grandfather - Amur realizes his grandfather went to the dungeon and questions Aguri and his friends to find out why - Amur charges into the dungeon - but he doesn't know where he's going, and he's looking for me in the dark - Amur fends off Blanca, who's been chasing him, and fights off Blanca. Wandering around in the dungeon - managed to get back to the ground, found out I was back and stormed into the workshop - saw me enjoying myself and got angry.......

I don't think it's my fault for listening to him. But I couldn't say anything strongly, because I'm sure I'd forgotten all about Amur. If he bites me again, it would be too much.

'I get the story. There are a lot of things I don't agree with, but let's just say I've had my share of bad moments, so let's get this out of the way. That's fine.

Hmmm.

Amur seemed to be in a somewhat better mood because of the bite and my admission of wrongdoing, and he nodded a little. I thought this was the end of the story.

'That's not how it works. Young lady, we've caused you so much trouble. Let's go back to the village.

Well, all right. Bye, Blanca.

You too!

Three times Genkotsu falls on Amur's head.

'We're already way past schedule. Come on, get home or people will be worried!

Don't worry, I'll live with Temma. So just give me Blanca. Geez!

Before he could finish, the fourth genkotsu exploded for the fourth time. This time, the silent blow seemed to be the most powerful of the day, and a dull, loud sound echoed through the workshop. And with that blow, Amur lost consciousness.

Blanca quickly restrained the unconscious Amour with a rope, gagged him and carried him up onto his shoulders like a bale.

'Sorry, I have to go back first. I'll probably be back tomorrow or the day after, but until then you can assume that your daughter is in this state don't think of releasing her.

Blanca reminded us with that, and then left the workshop without further ado.

''........Is it okay?''

Are you worried about Amur?

'No, it's more of a blanka. If you're carrying a girl tied up in a rope with that face you'll usually get caught.

This concern of mine was true. On the way back from the workshop, there was a great deal of commotion in the air, so I gathered information from a nearby stall, and it seems that an impersonal beastman tried to kidnap a girl not long ago and was caught by the guards.

More than eighty-nine out of ten odds are that it's Blanca and Amur, so when I hurried with my grandfather to the guard's station, he said that the two had already left.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. They said he escaped at first sight. He is still on the run today, and as soon as Blanca was freed, she ran to find Amur.

They never came back that day.

''Well, let's go to the master's again today... but first, let's eat.

I wanted to head to my master's workshop as soon as I woke up to finish my huddle, but since Shiroumaru and Solomon were all sitting at the table, I decided to prepare my breakfast first. By the way, I don't always skip breakfast, but these days when I'm going to my master's workshop, I've made it a routine to finish my breakfast at the food cart.

'I wasn't going to make it again today, so I'll just have something simple.'

I told them both that and took the meat out of the magic bag and yanked it out. I didn't want the smell of roasted meat to fill the carriage in the morning, so I prepared a cold shabu-style salad for Slarin' and the others today. I boiled more meat and made a side dish for me as well, but only a little.

'Come to think of it, I think those guys need to be fed soon.

I opened the spiders' dimension bag to see what was going on, and sure enough, the bait for the spiders was about to run out.

The spiders adjust the amount of food by themselves, so they have been feeding the spiders every few days in bulk. The spiders seemed to be storing them in small portions by themselves. Well, the spiders don't get along with me, so I had no choice but to do it this way, because if I open the bag every day, they might become alarmed and stop eating the food....

Today, however, was different. As I opened my bag to give them a few days' worth of food as usual, two of the three spiders, a golden spider and a silver spider, came up to me. I gave those two spiders the bait in the palm of my hand, and they slowly began to eat the bait in my palm, although they were a little confused. However, the rest of the silver one never tried to approach me and did not try to hide its wariness as usual.

''Do you think we can make this one into a subordinate?''

As soon as they tried it, two of them came close to each other for food and could be turned into their families, but as expected, the other one could not.

It was a bit sad to see them, but it was inevitable as there was a certain amount of mutual compatibility that could be required to be part of the family, so they gave up and decided to make the two that were more familiar to them into their family. Grandpa was listening to my story while Shiroumaru and Solomon took the skewers he had bought on his walk. And when I was done talking.

Since you are here, why don't you make me your family?

He suggested. By in front of everyone, he would mean the guys from the Tamers Guild and Aimee. I heard that these spiders are quite rare, so if I silently make them my subordinate, the rest might be noisy. The only thing that worries me is that Blanca and Amur aren't there, but it's obvious that the two of them who are chasing each other are to blame, and aside from Amur, Blanca's personality suggests that she won't complain about them later on in a nasty way. At best, I think it's a shame, because it's not something we get to see so often, such as subordination. Maybe Amur will say something unreasonable later on, but Blanca will stop him (physically).

So, we called out to Aimee first, and then went straight to the Tamer's Guild (a table named) in the Adventurer's Guild. Aimee was excited because this was her third moment of becoming a member of the family (in any case, this is my fifth moment, so I'm not much different in number from Aimee), but the people in the Tamers Guild were even more excited. Among them, Aguri's level of excitement was outstanding.

''No wonder. We get to see a demon become a family member of a demon that only a few of us can find in the literature! How can you not be excited!

And I was more excited than I had ever seen before. That's why the table we're at is the center of attention for the adventurers and guild staff who have been coming to the guild since morning. They all looked away as soon as I turned my head and pretended to be uninterested, but it was obvious that they were listening every time Aguri and the others shouted loudly.

''Okay, I'll tell you to calm down a bit and I can't concentrate here, so we'll do it after we get under the dungeon.''

The adventurers and staff members who heard my words seemed disappointed, but if we let the spiders out in such a chaotic situation, they could become wary again and we'd be right back where we started. In the first place, I didn't intend to sign a contract with the guild, and the guys around me aren't even close to me, so there's no reason for me to show them how I'm becoming a family member. So there was no point in glancing at us! Guild Master!

Because I want to see it!

The head of the guild understood the meaning of my gaze, and tried to shout a protest, but I ignored him and walked towards the guild door. The head of the guild would never have the power to force me to become a family member within the guild, and he's not someone with a sense of responsibility to follow me around, so he didn't come after me.

And when I was about to dive into the dungeon, Aimee suddenly raised her hand.

Yes, sir! I've only dived in dungeons up to ten levels!

Ah!

For what it's worth, many of the members here are skilled, so I had completely lost track of Aimee because I thought it was normal for her to be at least twenty levels. However, although she probably didn't dive by herself, Aimee also went quite deep, even though she's not an adventurer. Probably as an attendant of a baggage carrier, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still dangerous. After thinking for a bit about who he had dived with, I looked at Aguri and the others, and all of the Taymers Guild looked away.

''Aguri I'm sure it's okay, but we're taking measures to make sure there's no danger, right?''

'Of course. I mainly just take them with me when I'm collecting bait for Amy's family members, and when I go, I take all the members with me. We're not the kind of party to fall behind on the tenth level by mistake!

Aguri says so proudly, but....

'Just like the Sakarat brothers, the unexpected happens in dungeons so keep it to the shallow end. And don't try to dive deep with Amy by mistake.

I said to Aguri a little angrily, and all the members nodded in unison, not just Aguri. If I said any more, this time Aimee would care, so I stopped, but I'll have to remind her later when Aimee isn't around.

'Well, aside from that I suppose I shouldn't really do it, but let's use that method to say it's a one-time thing. That way Amy won't be able to dive twenty levels by herself and we can get to our destination fairly safely.

What's that method?　

I told Amy, who nodded her head, how to do it, and we all used the warp zone to head up to the 20th level together.
