721 Lesson 667: Caves and Monsters

"Oh, you're back." Did you have a good time? "

When I left the cave, the vigilante who saw me off when I entered the cave waved his hand to welcome me.

"It was fun."

Arielus seemed quite satisfied when he taught her how to move and fight in the cave.

"Haha, that was good." The dropped magic stones can be exchanged for gift certificates here, but what should we do? "

Of course I'll switch!

Leah gave the Vigilante the 13 Magic Stones she had collected.

"Huh? Is there this much?"

The vigilante who received the stone looked at the stone and tilted his neck.

"This much" means that there are more monsters than usual?

Or maybe there were a lot of monsters that dropped on you?

Which one is it?

Is there more magic stones than usual?

The vigilante nodded to his father's words.

"Yeah, it's the first time I've brought more than 10." How many monsters did you see? "

"Eleven to the deepest point of the cave, fifteen to the deepest point of the cave." There were 13 monsters on the way back. And the deepest monster was a little too strong for a low-level adventurer. "

"Eh, so 39 monsters came out?" And a strong monster? "

The vigilante shouts a surprise at your father's reply.

From his words, it seems that there are more monsters today than usual.

Oh, and there was no monster that dropped magic stones on the way.

Huh?

Oh, by the way, I killed 11 monsters by the time I got to the bottom, but I didn't drop any magic stones.

Not all monsters drop magic stones or magic items, so I didn't care.

Is talking to the vigilante unusual?

That's strange. Do you know what a strong monster looks like?

"Ah, it looks like a wild rat, but it was much bigger than that, and it was about 130cm tall." Also, the tail was long, pointed, and fast. "

"It's probably tutal." It was a monster that had never appeared in this cave before. why are you doing this..... "

The vigilante tilted his neck and touched the magic item he had left beside him.

As the magic item glows in response, he immediately releases his hand and reaches into the basket beside him.

“For now, it's 13 vouchers, so it's 13 vouchers. You can use them as $100 a voucher.”

For 100 dal, you can buy two skewers.

The lower level adventurer has a low request fee, so this cave must be a pleasure.

A beginner's cave may be a good place to cheer for the low-earning adventurer.

"Thank you."

Lilia receives the voucher happily.

"Sweet on the meat" is said in a small voice, so you can be sure to go straight to the stall when you go back.

What's the matter?

I looked behind my back at the voice I heard.

It seems that the sign I had been feeling for a while belonged to a new vigilante.

"Oh, there are a lot of monsters." Now that the tuttal is out, please check inside for me a little bit. "

Tuttal? In this cave?

"Yes, it is."

While listening to the vigilantes' conversation, I realized that the new vigilante had come to inspect the cave.

If there is an abnormality, will you confirm it immediately?

It's tough.

"Don't go. I'll let you know as soon as there's an anomaly."

I saw the vigilante go into the cave.

I hope nothing happens.

“Thank you for your report today.”

A former vigilante lowers his head towards us.

“No, I hope it's okay.”

The vigilante nodded to his father's words.

"That's right. The cave looks stable and I'm scared because sometimes I change my face in a hurry." Well, I think it's okay. "

I see. Thank you for your help today.

To your father's words, I bowed my head to the vigilante.

Please come back and visit me again.

The vigilante waved his hand and saw off, so he waved along with Lilia.

Maybe it was because I was dealing with a lower-ranking adventurer.

"All right, meat and sweet soup!"

A little further away from the cave, Lilia glances happily at the voucher.

“You can't buy that much, can you?”

Lilia shrugged her shoulders at Tanras' dazed voice.

"Yes, but I'm free to think."

Haha, sure.

“What should I buy, Ivy?”

Mr. Lilia looks at me.

Huh?

"Fufu, Ivy can decide."

Why is that?

"It's the first time you've defeated a monster by yourself, right?" Because it's a celebration. Well, I'm not the main player.

Oh, did you find out that my father and I were secretly happy?

I'm a little embarrassed, but I'm happy.

“Thank you, but let's all decide what to buy.”

It was a victory for the monsters we all defeated.

Is that so?

Lilia nodded with a smile as she leaned her neck.

Yes.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll buy you two of my favorites and let Ivy decide the other three."

Receive 5 vouchers with everyone's approval.

I wonder what I should buy.

I like what everyone can eat.

From the back gate, return to Okanko Village and walk along the main street looking at the stalls.

What is it?

I think there are a little more people than yesterday, but is it because of my mind?

Wow.

Oh, shit.

The flow of people creates a little distance from everyone.

If you stay like this, you may get lost.

"Over here."

Ah!

When I thought I heard a voice I knew, my arm was pulled.

At a glance, when I saw the one who was pulling his arm, there was Arious-san with a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"I suddenly lost my sight, so I was in a hurry."

"I'm sorry. I was careful, but I was caught in a wave."

"I guess so." Can I connect my hands? "

“Yes, thank you.”

Arielus holds my hand.

Speaking of which, this is the first time I've held a hand other than that of my father.

Walk around, avoiding the waves, chasing Mr. Arielus' back.

You're good at walking away from people, aren't you?

I know you walk with your dad, but you're really good at it.

Is that so?

Yes.

I'm still walking between people.

“If you observe people's movements closely, you will understand naturally.”

My father once told me that.

When I look at the movement of people, I can predict the next behavior, so I can avoid it.

I also observe people a lot, so I can predict a little.

That's why you're bumping into me, even though you can avoid it.

Well, I'll be able to do it eventually.

I hope so.

"Ivy"

Raise your hand to your father's impatient voice.

I wish I had grabbed your father's arm from the beginning.

Next time, let's do it.

Lilia and the others were relieved when they met a little off the main street.

I am worried.

Are you okay?

Lilia nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Arielas came right away."

If it hadn't been for Arielus, I would have lost more people.

Yeah, I'm really glad he did.

It looks like there are more adventurers today than yesterday.

I turned to Lilia's words and turned to the main street.

It seems that I wasn't the only one who felt that there were many.

"Oh, I'm back."

Leah's gaze was on Tannis.

He went to find out what was causing the increase in adventurers.

Okay, it looks like there's a monster around the furthest cave and all the adventurers outside the village have been instructed to return to the village.

The furthest cave?

There were rumors that the cave was overflowing with monsters, but was it different?
