Chapter 43: Quasi-disaster hole

Chapter 43: Quasi-disaster hole

Translated by kuronochan

We went to the Guild.

We went towards the bulletin board where information about regular carriage runs is written.

"The west's......what was the town's name again?"

"The desert townーーSea Lake City, desu wa!"

"Sea Lake City, you say."

'That doesn't sound very desert-like', I looked at the bulletin board while thinking of that.

Butーー.

"There's none?"

"Hanyaa?!!"

Licia made a silly voice and looked at the bulletin board.

She confirmed while pointing a finger and checked 2-3 times.

"It's true, there's none......"

"There's no way that there would be carriages going to Sea Lake City right? Brother."

A tan skinhead man talked to us.

There are four other men that seems to be his cronies.

"The Sea Lake City is mostly desert. There's not a lot of guys who'd wanna go there.

Of course, there are no regular runs towards there. Even if you hire them personally, they'd only bring you to the checking station before the city.

Those who'd wanna go there can only hire carriages and change to a sandboat to proceed. That's the basic and the easiest method right?"

"I see."

"Ladykiller, it's through damn strength and wisdom, right boys?"

After the skinhead laughed like 'gahahaha', his cronies laughed 'hahahaha' as well.

"And brother who's only all but looks, I think that they're a little wasteful, don't ya think......?"

The skinhead looked at Rorona and Femil.

It looks like I'm being picked on.

However, there's something that caught my mind.

I asked Femil and Rorona.

"Am I a ladykiller?"

"As far as I know, you are the coolest man in the world......?"

"Since I have fallen to you very, very deeply, I can never say, no......?"

Femil and Rorona said sweetly while hugging my arm.

"W-Well, I believe that you have a likable personality, I think!!

That isーーexcept your naughtiness!"

My impression from Licia was good too.

She crossed her arms and turned to the side, but her cheeks were flushed red.

"You are walking with this great and famously beautiful, bishoujo Goddess, so of course they'd think as such!!"

And, Laura was too bad.

Well actually, that claim is correct, but it's annoying when she's the one saying it.

"You can feel more proud you know, Kehma! About being accompanied by a Goddess like me!!"

The color of jealousy disappeared from the eyes of the punks.

(Is he, tolerating this......?)

(He has too huge of a caliber......)

(With big breasts that are regrettable to throw away, and this intolerable cringe in balance, huh......)

"What rude things are you saying??!!"

"Oh no!!"

"She heard it!!"

" " " Ruuuuuuunn!!!! " " "

The punks ran away.

Really, Laura's attack power against punks haven't changed.

To make the adventurers who cannot hold themselves but to trouble other people turned off, it's not an easy thing to do.

Well, anyways, their information was useful.

I arranged for a carriage.

Rorona was fidgeting for some reason.

"What is it? Rorona."

"T-T-T-T-To travel to a far away land with a carriage, i-i-i-i-it's like a honeymo............nothing!!!"

Rorona became completely red.

Femil silently retorted.

"If you talking about traveling with a carriage, I think we'd done it the first time we met......"

"It means, since the first time we met, Kehma-dono and I were............?!!"

Rorona's eyes turned busilyーー.

"Kyuuuuun?!"

And fainted.

I caught her in an embrace and then carried her like a princess.

"Kuu??n......?"

Rorona who had completely lost her consciousness, but even so, her instincts did not forget, she grabbed to my chest and rubbed her cheeks to me.

She loves me this much even though she's fainted huh......

So cute.

The journey with a carriage proceeded without any troubles.

I mean, Rorona was too strong.

A huge horde of orcs appeared. → "Kehma-dono! Leave it to me!!"

A huge pack of wolves appeared. → "Kehma-dono! Leave it to me!!!"

A huge pack of kobolds appeared. → "Leave it to me!!!!"

Anyways, she would always charge to the front lines and took care of it with some slashing and cutting.

Especially the pack of Kobolds. There were about 200 of them, but she floored all of them alone.

She is also using her elf hearing for reconnaissance.

Her long ears flicking looked very cute.

"Rorona-chan's really such a good girl?......?"

The useless goddess Laura whispered something like that.

I felt like I want her to lick the back of Rorona's feet.

However, that Rorona suddenly showed a solemn expression.

"What is it?"

"I feel an ominous presence, from the sky ahead......"

"Stop the carriage."

I made the carriage stop and looked at the sky ahead.

It looks normal, but Rorona says there's something weird.

I trusted her and waited for a while.

About 300 meters of the sky ahead, it suddenly got very dark.

A hole that has a diameter of 10 meters was opened. It was a dark hole that looked very eerie.

"What the heck is that?"

Femil then said after hearing my mutterings.

"I-I-I-I-It's probably a dimensional hole!!"

"Dimensional hole?"

"A hole opened in a plane! There are those used by Summoners or Goddesses to summon their household retainers from the Demon World or Different Worlds, but there are also naturally occurring phenomena!!"

"Is it that dangerous?"

"It depends on the hole's size and type! From how that scale and color looks......there would be 10-meter class monsters entering from the Demon World!!!!!"

Rorona's eyes widened in her shock.

"10-meter class monsters, from the Demon World......?!!"

A spear-wielding Gargoyle appeared from the dark hole as if to express Rorona's despair.

A spear-wielding Gargoyle, a huge Griffon.

A Dark Evil Dragon, etc.

"The Gargoyle, is so, bad......desu."

Femil silently whispered.

"According to what I learned in the Academy, it is said that Gargoyles have evolved from Goblins. Just like Goblins, there are only males born, and to leave behind descendants......they use the other......race's............"

It looks like Femil had imagined it.

Her petite body trembled and the hand that holds her staff tightened.

"What about its strength?"

"Alone, it is C-Class. But, it is said that from their characteristics, they would be equal to an A-Class if 10 of them gathers......"

"Those guys that appeared from the hole, there's easily fifty of them though."

"In the first place, 10-meter class dimensional holes are phenomena called quasi-disasters......!"

"Quasi-disasters?"

"Although it is inferior to earthquakes and tsunamis that humans cannot defend from no matter how much they struggle, it means that there is a possibility that tens of thousands of casualties would be made if a country dispatch all of its strength......!"

"That's pretty bad."

Licia said after I whispered blankly.

"I-I will......I will be a decoy!!"

"Eh?!"

"It is true that 10-meter class dimensional holes fall under quasi-disasters!

However, that is only when the preparations were too late!

In a case where it is quickly reported, it is not limited to that!"

"But, if we do that, Licia-dono will!!"

"In the first place, it is not a disaster that Kehma-sama and the others would not have met if not for me! Therefore, it is only proper for me to take on the wind!!"

"Regardless whether you were the cue, it is us who decided to escort you! We shall not leave you alone!!"

"Rorona-sama......"

"It is exactly, as Rorona-san, says......!!"

Rorona bravely declared and Femil agreed while trembling.

And, Laura shouts with confidence.

"This is where I come in!!!"

"Do you have a plan?"

"A success rate of 140%! It's diamond steel plate!"

"Get clear okay, it is a diamond or a steel plate?"

"Ehhhhhh?! E?to, diamond then! That hard and sparkling one!!"

"I heard that diamond is easy to break though?"

"Eh?!"

Laura shouts after placing fingers to her temples.

"It's true!!

The diamond's hardness is only towards scratches and rubbing, but it's weak against impact!

It will break into pieces if it's hit with a hammer!!!"

The useless goddess Laura who has a very bad head is a self-proclaimed Goddess of Wisdom.

She is able to access an archive-like place called Spring of Wisdom.

Just hearing that, it sounds amazing, but there are many flaws.

First, its version is old, so there is no latest information.

Although the knowledge from it are many, it is only superficial.

Even if a specific food or food material is written, it is not written how to cook it.

And the greatest flawーー.

The user is Laura.

A not very strong skill was given to someone who has a bad status that would even turn the best S-Rank class ability to trash.

This, it can only be described as hopeless.

If you describe its worth, it is a 『not that good dictionary that costs 20000 a month for maintenance』.

There are also theories saying that toilet paper is better since it can be used to wipe your ass.

"Kehma, right now, did you think of something rude?!!"

"Ahh, sorry. I just thought which one has more value, toilet paper or you."

"What's that, that's so cruel! Apologize! Apologize from the bottom of your heart!!"

"That depends on your plan. If it's a great plan, I'll see you in a new light, and I can apologize while putting a brush inside my anus."

"That's a promise alright?!!"

"Whatever, say it quickly. It'll be too late if you say it after the enemy noticed us."

"E?to, first, Kehma will charge into the enemy lines!"

"Well, I have the strongest fighting power after all."

"Next is, Kehma will defeat lots of enemies!"

"I see."

"Lastly, Kehma will annihilate the enemy and the end!!"

"............ha?"

Haa, how can I say this?

When I was thinking of how to say it, Rorona said.

"In short, leave it all to Kehma-dono......?"

"But, it's not wrong! With this plan, I have 100% confidence that we can win!!"

The useless goddess Laura sharply pointed her finger to me.

"Now, Kehma, apologize! Apologize for making a fool of this greatest, most famous, god-like tactician, dogeza and put a brush in yourーーーfumyeee??????????"

The useless goddess that was saying idiotic things got her cheeks pinched and moaned.

"Kehma-dono! The enemy has noticed us!!!"

"It can't be helped huh."

I took out my magic bag.
