Cursed Sword Master
Ambush
"You're not here..."
Kill the Tower Wolf threesome instantly and whine unintentionally while Cherry Blossom and Sistina are collecting Demon Stones.
"Not that I'm still here today. Let's just check out all three tiers and lice one tier at a time."
Copy that.
That said, we will proceed to the "Three Hierarchies" at Hotaru's behest.
Yes, it's three tiers. Why are we exploring the three tiers that should have easily broken through with Mr. Spartan Hotaru? The reason goes back about an hour.
"The non-returnee...?
After our first night watch, we had a late breakfast, and we left the mansion to explore the tower.
The Adventurer Guild stopped by to ask if there was any new information on the bandits at that time. This was my first voice after I heard Mr. Will in the room where he was led again.
Mr. Will nods to my words, which is becoming somewhat of a completely guild master positioning.
"Yes, but exploring the tower is dangerous, so of course it's possible that there will be returnees... but this time some adventurers have not returned to the third tier."
"Speaking of three tiers, there are adventurers around where beginners have grown hairs, right?
"Right. The tower of Zatil is a tower with many explorers entering the tower, so high that you still don't know how far up the final layer is. For this reason, the strength of the enemy at lower levels is not as great.
If you manage the equipment and the number of people, three to five layers are relatively easy to get in. In fact, in the last few decades, there has been absolutely no talk of death on less than five levels. "
Still, I feel like it's possible to join the non-returnees for a few things like missed a draw or broken company.
"I know what Master Fujinomiya thinks. But the only people who haven't returned are 11 three parties yesterday. It's a little too much."
"That's... that's definitely a lot"
"Yes... so here's the real deal."
When Mr. Will said so, he took out a piece of paper and placed it on his desk. There is a pattern where Mi and O, written in ink, are combined.
"What's this?
"It was created by listening to adventurers who have reported being attacked by other seekers on three levels."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that there are people in the tower who are doing things like bandits?
"Yes. Unfortunately, there have been frequent reports of incidents that said so. There are those who believe that it is more profitable to deceive and deceive a seeker wearing gear there than to take down a dangerous demon and strip him of his body."
I see, indeed, it would be more profitable in a short time to attack the Seekers and sell off possessions, loot and equipment than to earn an instant of about 2,000 marl a demon stone. But I don't suppose we can keep doing that all the time.
If you were committing such robbery and murder, it would soon be rumored that a stronger opponent would come to crusade. Even this time, the next day, the information is leaking...
"The body of the tower is absorbed by the tower over time. There will be no evidence left if you even take your luggage away. So if you don't miss a single one, you won't discover the crime for quite a while."
"Huh? But this is yesterday, right?"
"The adventurer was attacked in the outer perimeter of the tower."
"Well... you know what?"
He has an invincible grin that Hotaru noticed something in Will's words.
"Mr. Hotaru, what do you mean?
"Don't you see, Souzillow? It's common sense to get into a tower… there's no way out of it."
"Ah!"
Right! All you have to do is jump out the window when you get out of the tower. So if you don't want to leave a witness behind, the raid must be somewhat inside, not outside the perimeter. Because if they jump down near a window in the middle of nowhere, they get away with it.
I checked, and the adventurer who escaped was also jumped out the window while his buddy was being attacked, so he didn't have to die. I can't blame you for everything you've done about abandoning your people and running away, but I can't blame you for bringing that information back.
"You mean the killer doesn't know about the tower because you're robbing him at the tower..."
"Yes, because of that, he said, the adventurer managed to escape through the window. And he said the pattern of this painting was engraved on the right shoulder of the leader in the group that attacked him."
"Oh my God! This looks like a shooting star if you look closely, Master Soo."
"!!... red... meteor. Is that what you're saying?"
I understood what Mr. Will was trying to say. I mean, isn't Mr. Will the red meteor that went north after he attacked the village of Coroni, part of which is entering the tower? That's what he wants to say.
"Looks like there were about twenty of them who attacked us."
"... you mean one of the deputy heads is bringing in all the subordinates"
"Soujiro, if this is true, it might be a good time to think about it."
"Well, if there were twenty of us, we could destroy them if we stumbled into the tower."
I see...... the strength of the opponent is not to have a determined aside and to be a great place. And yet I've never been over there to beat you up if that way would deliberately lessen your power over fixing the hunting grounds. Besides, if you're in the aisle of the tower, it's hard to surround yourself with adults.
Keep your head count down a little and that'll reduce the risk of my mansion or the city being attacked.
"Dear Souzillo. May I have a word?
"Hmm? What sistina"
I feel a slight anxiety about the look on Sistina's face that has spoken to me. What is it?
"Um... there were bandits on three levels, right? I was wondering if maybe Fray and the others were around yesterday."
"Ah!"
Oh no! It's quite possible that the Freys, who were able to easily tread up to two levels, would challenge three levels the day after they gave permission up to five!
"Mr. Will! Did Kensei's disciple put his face on the Alliance today!
"Huh? Oh, yes... I think I did see you first thing in the morning"
"Is it true!...... ha"
Strength falls out of the body I was accidentally embarking on and collapses onto the couch.
"Oh, no! If you're a sow, Tundele."
Damn! Shit. I overreacted. But if you look at the tragedy in that village, you know exactly what Frey and Ari will be treated like when they catch you. I honestly don't want to see that and I can't forgive you.... Ah, nothing. I don't care about Thor.
"Will. Do you have any idea if they were getting a request from the Alliance today?
"No, it was confirmed, but I don't think he got the request."
"That's not good... Souzillow. It doesn't seem like a relief."
"Huh?"
"Leaving the Alliance without a request means you're still making money from the tower this morning and trying to make a request this afternoon."
Ah! So you're exactly in the middle of an admiration tower attack right now!
"Excuse me, Mr. Will! We'll be excused for this. Let me know if you have any new information."
In a hurry to say goodbye to Mr. Will, we run to the tower. We've had the three of them trained as best we can, but it's a week-long burning blade, and if we're surrounded by nearly 20 people, there's a chance we won't be able to outrun them.
We continue to run even without exchanging words, and we reach the tower, and we stop once before entering the lobby, but we even spare a little time to get our disturbed breath fixed, and we step right into the lobby.
"Whoa! Isn't that Souji! I didn't see it yesterday, but what were you doing?
To?......
Thor, with Frey and Earli behind him, waved smoothly as he turned to a voice like he'd heard somewhere.
......... I got annoyed so I hit Tol with a sheathed sunflower for now.
"Oh, my God! What did I do? I've told you many times, I'm older!
"I'm reflecting. But I have no regrets."
"It's you... ha, I don't know... that's enough"
I talked to Frey and the others where it came with Thor. Apparently, he was in the three tiers. But as soon as I went to the third level, there was an unnatural number of reactions to Frey's acoustic opponents, so I was on alert and stayed away.
Besides, he soon found out it sounded like a robbery from some of the conversations he heard.
"I'm going to try three levels when I'm gone, and I was repeating one to two levels yesterday, but there's no sign that I'll be gone forever. Within that time, it was time to take the Alliance's request, so I cut it yesterday."
I was convinced to listen to Frey. Surely it's no surprise that if you have Frey's hearing, you can perceive the danger.
"Good. Frey and the others are safe... thanks to Frey."
I caressed my chest down with my heart and gave her the flat ear of a special medal.
"Hin!... Oh, uh... Lord Fujinomiya, yeah!... Ha..."
What? Frey's face is red, but Moffmoff feels good, so let's just ignore it.
"I went up from one tier in turn today, but I just went up to three tiers and it's still the same... but this time the place was near the center of the hierarchy.
When I was surrounded, I couldn't help but come back today. "
Apparently it was the leader Earli's decision, but I can tell you it was a wise one. It would have been dangerous if the bandits had approached badly because they seemed to have stopped hunting in the outer periphery using their last reflections as well.
"Oh, that! Phew, Fujinomiya... my lord... ha, he... kai... but hmm!
Gong!
"Why don't you stop! I can't listen to Frey."
Oops... sorry, I'm in good shape. It felt so good.
"Excuse me, Lord Hotaru. Helpful. My ears are usually sensitive to irritation because I hide them… I will try to get used to them as much as possible even if they touch me, so Lord Fujinomiya will wait a long time..."
Yabba! I wouldn't say you can't touch yourself while reddening your face, Fray, it might be cute.
"Meet with Souzillow later on in that area. Non wants to hear about thieves."
"Ah, ah. I heard it earlier when I was out of the third tier, but I don't make a lot of money on the third tier, so you want to go a little higher? He seemed to be talking about something targeted."
"I see... is that why they're netting somewhere in the top tier from three levels..."
Mr. Hotaru has a fierce grin. If this happens, I can't stop you anymore, and I'm not going to stop you this time. These guys are the biggest bad guys I've ever known. I'm not going to hesitate if I have a chance to dispose of it.
"All right, no mountain hunting, no tower hunting."
That's why I went from three levels into the tower to where Frey asked me, but there was no sign of being a bandit.
Fluo, as he said, lices within the three tiers with sign perception, and after confirming that he is not there, he defeats the Lord of the three tiers and goes up to the four tiers.
We'll explore all the locations even after we get up to four levels, but we encounter about a few explorers, but we couldn't find any such organizations that would exceed twenty.
"Further up... or have you pulled it up yet today?
"If you're pulling it up, you just have to see me tomorrow. More than that, Frey also said something about giving you a hierarchy.
Let's see how the five tiers go. "
That said, Mr. Hotaru goes up unconstitutionally to the hall with the stairs. The hall with the stairs… yes, that is the boss room.
It was just the same when I was on three levels, but I can't see the Lord in the hall. The invisibility means that there are people who defeated the Lord just before and went up there. There's a good chance they're up there.
The four-level boss has also knocked down the last time he came, but not necessarily the same demon every time, and the main battle is nervous after all. After the previous party defeats the Lord, a new party pops in after a certain amount of time.
This time, demons gush up from under the stairs as Hotaru breaks in. Soon it will spring up, which means it's been quite a while since the party that came here before us defeated the Lord.
What sprung up was "Platoon Leader Goblin (4 tiers) Rank: F" and its surrounding goblins with two "Foot Light Goblin (4 tiers) Rank: H" and two "Archer Goblin (4 tiers) Rank: H." Last time it was a big scorpion demon named Big Scorpio, but this time it seems to be the boss combined in platoon formation.
And even though the goblins I saw before were names to match the weapons I have, this time they seem to be distinguished by the military species. Will it change its name when it comes under the command of Goblin in the commanding class? Well, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't care about the criteria for goblin species or anything.
I just don't like the fact that one of these days there's going to be a squadron leader or a battalion leader.
Ever! Did you get the goblins in formation while you were thinking about that, platoon captain? Goblin follows two feet and packs the distance. Archer Goblin, as his name suggests, is equipped with a bow and is in formation so that he can take a ray at the rear. The two foot lights are approaching as they hold a copper-like long spear, maintaining an interval of about two meters, and the platoon captain is packing a long sword in the middle behind us.
I guess he's going to attack us with two spears while he's holding us with his bow and look at the gap and the platoon captain sticks in, but if it's a beginner's party, it's so-so much if we're going to deal with our new team.
"Cherry Blossom! Bow, please. Sistina! Me and Mr. Hotaru will contain the spear, so ask the Lord. Mr. Hotaru sends his best to the right spear."
"Leave me alone!
"Yes!"
"Uhm."
I run towards the left goblin too, listening to the reliable responses of the women. Goblin sticks his spear out at me as he leaks his giggly, distorted voice. Oh? He seems to be able to use the spear more securely than I imagined. Quite a penetration sticks out at the center of my chest.
I stopped my leg just before the spear hit me and pulled my left shoulder, and when I was slightly half-hearted, Goblin's spear passed right in front of me. Beat the middle of that spear from the top with a sunflower in your right hand.
Spa
Was it a softer spear than I thought or did the sunflower slash taste better? Goblin's spear went from medium to clean in two. I was stunned that the spear was slashed, and for a moment the flash of my left hand slashed the stiff goblin's neck off this again beautifully.
All right! My role is over for now. What else...
Looking around, Mr. Hotaru is already rushing for a different archer than the one who turned the cherry blossom toward him after turning the goblin straight from the top of his head. The cherry blossoms are also scratching and slashing the neck behind the archers at the same time so as not to make them feel the difference in distance.
Then Sistina comes in contact with the captain of the Goblin platoon, and after about a three-in-one meeting, the axe part of the magic break breaks off his hand holding the platoon captain's long sword. And the hammer part of Sistina's demon break from above the platoon leader, who nodded with the pain of losing his arm, is overhead...... Wow, gross.
Well, I hope it's absorbed right into the tower anyway.
"All right, once we recover the demon stone, we're going up to five levels."
Hotaru, who has gently finished the last one, declares Rin as he returns the knife to his body. Whatever you think, the leader is Mr. Hotaru, he looks too good.
"And Souzillow. The command was pretty good right now."
Plus, it's good to 'stand' a man up. I get tense just because Hotaru praises me.
"Your husband. Demon Stone has been recovered."
"Thank you, Sistina. Shall we go then?"
Encourage everyone to go up the stairs to the five floors and exit into the small room. This doesn't seem to change up to any hierarchy. The other thing we have in common is that there is always one door in this room on the outside wall side. This mysterious door, which normally if empty, is going to pop outside, is connected to the lobby door on the ground floor, so the people who come from the ground floor to the fifth floor will also start here.
By the way, the five tiers have passageways stretched to the left, right, and front, but it seems that each of those tiers differs from the starting room in which direction the passageways stretch. Finally, only this room and the secure room meant that for some reason no demons would come in. It is true that when you are ambushed by demons in this room, there is also the possibility that you will be stuffed by explorers. Perhaps he understands that when such rumors spread, the tower itself will starve because people will no longer come to the tower.
We were the only ones in the room at the beginning of the five levels that came up. In the meantime, I will have Hotaru and Cherry Blossom detect everything I can tell from this place, so it is today's course to take a break once.
Removing the water bottle from the backpack moistens the throat and passes it to Sistina. Sistina also receives it normally and mouths it because it is not an intermittent pattern to say this now about indirect kissing. The water bottle itself also has Sistina, but I plan to move it out again soon, so I don't need to unload it for both of us.
"Thank you. Your husband."
Put the water bottle I received from Sistina in my back bag and carry it again. Huo and Cherry Blossom don't always need to be rehydrated, so when they're in the tower, they only decide to give them a water bottle when they're asked for it.
"Don't be."
Yeah, you're here.
Hotaru and Cherry Blossom squirm as they carry their bags, check their weapons and gently flex.
"Do you know how many?
"A little closer and you'll see clearly... but you can't exactly"
"And they seem to be splitting up."
"Okay. Shall we just get a little closer? Show me."
Hotaru nods and steps out into the front aisle concentrating on the signs. Apparently they're netting close to the center.
"If you say so, Aoi doesn't have detective skills."
"This one was just decorated in a safe place. Perhaps the perception of danger is dull. Even cherry blossoms who have not lived the war will remember to detect signs."
Shut up! Mountain Monkey! Because I don't have that skill, I have a unique skill that you don't have either! I mean, you're an elite!
Uh-huh. I'm sure you're right... but I have no idea how to use that key unique skill.
Simple appraisal will not allow you to appraise the status screen items. The results of Aoi's martial arts appraisal...

"Sistina, can you tell me what 'self-respect' means?
"Yes.... 'Being nagging if nothing is as great as yourself. It means there's nothing more honorable in this world than yourself.' Here's the thing."
"That's right..."
Sistina's library of wisdom also allows us to immediately examine the meaning of the Word of Earth. Besides, I recently found out that since it evolved into a library of Ji Zhi, the search terms can be set up to two words.
When I asked [curry] [how to make] when I was in the Book of Ji, the meaning of the words "curry definition and how to make it" poured in separately and I had no idea how to make curry, but now they know everything from ingredients to cooking procedures even in the same word. As a result, Sistina's knowledge is growing at an accelerating rate, and the daily menu of meals is starting to reveal something close to Earth food, which stimulates my grief. Well, I don't really want to go home.
That's what I've been talking about. I don't know what that means because Aoi is arrogant in the end. It's just that I think intimidation, around high-flying cars, has the effect of working on the movement of hostile organisms. Intimidation stops the opponent from moving. High flying cars provoke and take the tage. Like what?
I'd like to try it, but if I use a blade state sunflower skill, it will deteriorate considerably. If I use a high-speed car or something and it doesn't do anything, it's a pretty painful kid, so if I can, I'd like the sunflower to be humanized and then used on the sunflower. I'm somewhat assuming that the only pride I have is the ability to relate to skills around here, but in the end, confirmation is still going to be a long way off.
"Now, leave the fool's shit alone. Souzillow. Apparently it's close."
Mr. Hotaru stops his leg and explores the signs.
"Uh-huh... with ten in front"
"Five... ten, thirteen in the back? Don't even match the number of people Frey said."
"Could there be a room in the safe zone with ten people in front of it?"
"Maybe, yeah. Even before we got here, there was no sign of demons leaning in."
I see… that is, the party aiming for a five-tier breakthrough has a good chance of stopping by a secure room near between the Lord for a final break and various final confirmations.
So if you check the equipment and staffing of the opponent and send it first, the main unit will be waiting for you. After that, if you follow the back and refuse to leave, you mean you'll just slaughter him later?
Maybe it's right for reason, but honestly, chest shit is bad.
"Well, what can I do for you"
"Shall we do the ten in front of us first? Dear Saw."
"Um... that's a bit. I'm not sure if you're a bandit yet."
Honestly, the cherry blossom proposal is the most certain one… is it a little too much to slash someone without question who hasn't done anything yet? Well, with a simple appraisal, it's obvious whether it's a bandit or not, but it's a subtle thing when people say it's currently in progress.
I don't think even bandits used to be bad guys when they switched hearts and worked hard seriously. Of course I'm not going to admit I didn't do it all over again with madness, though I'm dying more than I did that badly.
"Can you flip after being pinched?
"We wouldn't have a problem. Well, you might need to use the magic of cherry blossoms."
"Let the cherry blossoms burn you with cancer."
Oh, my God. Oh, my God, you had magic. Sounds like you can manage to get there if you turn your opponent around with cherry magic.
"Okay. Then if they're the bandits who set the trap, let's eat them from the front.
If you get pinched, I'll do the ten in the back with Mr. Hotaru. Cherry Blossoms cancer the previous organization with fire magic and multiply it by confusion to reduce the number of enemies. Sistina wants me and Mr. Hotaru to support the front line until we clear the back.
When the back is cleared, let's turn to offense. "
