Episode 71: Divided Ways

A few monsters have attacked me since then, but every time I knocked them out with a piece of cake. Nearly level 400 monsters also appeared inside, but there was no particular struggle.

"It's all about the uto. Oi! Doesn't this mean we're here?

Asta punching dissatisfaction. You sure haven't fought anything but me so far.

"As I said earlier, the Astas have never gone over to keep the MP warm. I don't know what's going to happen next."

"You have limits. Limits! Come on, let me do it, too!

I accidentally sigh out of my mouth. [M]

"I get it. I was just hoping to get some rest, and I'll leave it to Asta for a while."

"Heh, that's how it goes!

I give the lead to Asta. Soon after, a Level 76 monster appeared before us.

"You're hurrying up! I'm sorry, Temei will be sacrificed for me to shine! Spell [Electric Festival]!!"

Asta wears an electric shock and immediately releases a "thunderbolt". That was a brilliant direct hit on the monster, HP went to zero and vanished.

"How did you see it! I got one shot at KO, too! Come on ladies, yellow cheers for my bravery!! And fall in love!!"

"Hey, look, there's flowers blooming here."

"Really. It's strange how flowers bloom in these dark caves."

"Beautiful..."

Asta to pose like a squad hero, but none of the three of them looked at Asta. I put my hands on Asta's shoulder, which is about to cry. [M]

"Don't let it get you down. I've been watching."

"Omei doesn't mean anything!!"

About an hour passed since I caved in. I still haven't been able to discover The Mad Devil's Hand Mirror, and I can't even see the end of it in the cave.

"Lina, are you tired?

"Ah, yes! I'll be fine!

I thought you might be saying that because I couldn't do it for a second, but it seemed really okay to see how Lina was doing. Lina is surprisingly tough.

Still, this cave, how far the hell does it go? It is spiritually tight to keep walking the invisible path of the goal, but the only salvation is that it is a simple main road. I'm not gonna get lost in this.

At the arrow tip I thought, I noticed that the road ahead was divided into two parts. We stop in front of the divide.

"Let's take a break here once. I've been walking all this way."

Everyone nodded at Asta's suggestion. I really just want to get to the sealed location of The Mad Demon's Hand Mirror as soon as possible, but it will also be necessary to rest my body in preparation for the battle ahead. I took the water bottle out of my bag and included it in my mouth.

"So what do we do now? Are we all going either way, or are we going to split up here in two hands? I think you should split up."

"I agree. If we all go one way and don't have the" Mad Demon's Mirror "over there, we'll have to get back here again. If that happens, it'll be a hassle twice."

"... no, I think we should all go one way or the other"

I disagreed with Serena and Asta.

"Why? Besides us, there might be other guys after" The Mad Devil's Hand Mirror, "and it would be more efficient to split it it between two hands."

"That's right..."

My concern is if it was a seven-star angel in this cave. If we split up, I won't be able to protect one member. It would be nice if a seven-star angel appeared on the path I took, but if a seven-star angel appeared on the other path...

"So how do we split up? There are five of us, so it's definitely going to be two and three."

"It's good to have a man and a woman without difficulty."

"No, no, no, it's just girls and stuff. It's too dangerous!

"It's okay, there are three women."

As I think about it, Asta and the others move on in the direction of splitting up.

"Wait. When this happens, it's time for this."

Then Sue took out five chopsticks from nowhere.

"There are three red chopsticks ahead and two blue chopsticks. Those who draw red are on the left, those who draw blue are on the right."

"... Sue, did you bring that?

Sue grips five chopsticks in her right hand, from which Serena and Asta pull one at a time.

"Look, Ute and Lina, pull it off, too."

"... oh"

"Ha, ha."

I had no choice but to pull the chopsticks. As a result of the scratch, Lina, Asta and Sue drew red, and me and Serena drew blue.

"That's settled. Me, Sue and Lina are the way to the left, and Serena and Ute are the way to the right."

"Wait!! Why should Atashi be with this pervert!!"

Serena protests pointing her finger at me. It is a rejection as expected.

"Whatever you say, you can't help it if it's decided"

"This guy touched his chest twice!? I didn't know what he was gonna do when we were alone!!"

"Serena said calm down. You wouldn't do that at a time like this, no matter how many yurts."

Hey, the way you put it, it always sounds like I'm doing that.

"No I will!! I'm set to do absolutely weird things by multiplying the darkness!! I'm sorry to die with such a pervert!!"

"... I disagree too"

When I said that, Serena glared at me.

"Hey, what the hell, you! I just want to say I don't like being with Atashi!?"

"I'm not... Don't you think Serena doesn't want to be with me?

"Well, yeah, but I'm kind of annoyed when you hate me!

What the hell. I don't know much about women.

"I said the opposite, in terms of the division itself. I think we should all go one way after all. In this cave..."

"There might be a seven-star angel, huh?

I said it in such a way that Asta would interrupt.

"... oh. If we split up, I won't be able to help one side. What if Asta and the others run into a seven-star angel?

"I'm sorry, Ute, but I'm not asking you to help me. You told me yesterday what I did to the seven-star angel.

Asta said she was deprived of her best friend's soul by a seven-star angel and became one of Sasha's for revenge.

"I will surely avenge the Seven Star Angels. It's more convenient to encounter a Seven Star Angel, no matter how strong you are, and fight for it without hesitation. Even if there wasn't a" Mad Demon's Mirror "at that time."

"... ok"

That's what I said. [M] Perhaps no matter what I say, Asta will try to pierce her will. Besides, we haven't decided we still have a seven-star angel...
