Day 61 Nighttime, Murimuri Castle, Girls-only Gathering
Murimuri Castle actually had a huge womens bath. No matter what he makes and for whatever purpose, bathing space seems to be highly prioritized?
After hearing the gist of what happened from the Stalker Girl that came to join us, we got the general idea of what Haruka-kun had done.
It was the worst. Haruka-kun, unsuitable for fighting humans and dealing with the skills they might possess, of all things, ended up fighting the strongest murderer duelist.
He apparently was an expert in killing techniques, with thorough knowledge and keen eyes for human movements.
And the specialist in anti-human techniques got knocked out in one hit without even understanding what got him. Yeah, as we thought, it looks like Haruka-kun wasnt a human after all.
As he couldnt be confronted with anti-human techniques, the attacker was knocked out with lethal consequences. Yeah, I thought that those movements arent those of a human As expected, that part in his stats about being human is a lie.
It seems even the specialist in fighting humans rejected those claims.
In the end, he was doing something dangerous again, and ended up luring out the most dangerous opponent.
After all, he captured all of the bandits alive, but killed that murderer, in other words, he was that dangerous of an opponent.
He judged that if left alive, there is a high likelihood of some of us getting killed. Thats why he chose to kill him.
I dont think he had any hesitation. Everyone was prepared for this since the time we saw his face when he came back from that destroyed village. Haruka-kun had already resolved himself.
Until then he kept blabbering about being capable of only killing since he had no strength (stats) and no ability (skills) to protect someone.
But he steeled himself. Since killing was the only option, he resolved himself to do it. Returning from that village, Haruka-kun had obtained a strength that couldnt be expressed in stats.
And so he first killed the strongest assassin, and then exterminated the churchs beastmen hunting unit. Killed them to the last to prevent them from killing anyone.
And now he is trying to go on the offensive. Somehow, it looks like he wants to have us stick to the Fake Dungeon defense, while he engages in guerilla warfare.
For a moment everyone was at loss for words. Because the picture of hell involuntarily came to our minds And had us shudder. After all, there is no other more suitable and worse person for an unscrupulous guerilla warfare.
I mean, it would be a nightmare to have such an inconvenient guerilla-san show up.
Delivering those three to the enemy camp, that basically means that the war will start with the enemies having their headquarters destroyed, being penetrated into the very heart of their forces.
Starting a fight when the chain of command has already collapsed, the line of defense rendered powerless, and an offensive force struck in the back Thats over already.
Haruka-kun must want to strike the enemy without allowing them to do anything? Then the very point of all those war preparations might be lost?
Yes, he has no intentions of actually fighting. Only annihilating and destroying them.
Im really glad that Slime-san joined us. For attacking there is Angelica-san, if Slime-san handles defense then it feels reassuring on a completely different level, right?
True, that cant be beaten!
Slime-sans offensive power, evasion ability, and wide variety of attacks tend to draw attention, but his defensive capabilities are also absurdly high. Among the attack specializing group he is the only one capable of filling the defensive role, an impeccable bodyguard.
Even if all of us were to attack him at once we still would lose in an exchange of blows. Our attacks dont get through at all. Even Angelica-san was nodding at that, so its a defensive power that was officially recognized by the Dungeon Emperor.
Well, even if we tried to stop him, he would leave anyway. He always goes off on his own.
Yes, we are going to be left behind again. Now that we have reached level 100 we thought that this time will be the time, but we cant keep up with him again. But we cant leave the frontier unprotected. Someone has to stay.
If Omui-sama goes as well, then there will be no other choice left but for us to stay. And I also have the right to command the Fake Dungeon It was handed to me.
But if Omui-sama stays, then there will be no issue with us going. Even if we cant participate in guerilla warfare, we can at the very least guard him. That alone is enough.
Omui-sama and the Royal Prince must be still in the middle of the discussion. Unless they decide on something there is nothing to build a plan around, but unless we exchange and organize ideas now we wont be able to adapt quickly.
If there is no immediate action, then we should either train or consider challenging some nearby dungeons. Being unable to plan ahead is the most troublesome.
And as soon as we left the bath everyone broke into a run. It was an emergency!
Who wouldve thought that such a thing could happen at Murimuri Castle We were negligent. To think that hed open a Murimuri branch of the souvenir store and sell manju there! He has the Stalker Girl-chan for a salesperson, and the troops from the capital are in a huge uproar.
And manju are all sold out (crying)
He is clearly intending to liquidate the inventory. But if so, why not sell it to us?!
