I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 23 - I don't think I can be a flyer ~
The snake monster was brought back with the firewood. A five-meter long, poisonous snake named Titan Viper is said to be a dangerous monster who dies within an hour of being bitten. However, I was unable to realize the danger because I crushed the tree and defeated it with a pre-emptive attack.
Whatever the danger, it's just meat for us now. After taking it home and draining the blood, the skin was peeled and chopped, shaken with salt and spices and stabbed into a skewer, carefully baked over high heat and eaten. It was slightly stiff and smells slightly, but it was generally similar to chicken. Almost a yakitori. Salt. I feel like drinking beer, but so far I've never seen alcohol rather than beer. Probably not in the village, but in the city. I wouldn't let a slave drink.
The poison of this snake is almost harmless to drink from the mouth when bitten, rather it seems to be popular as a raw material for strong agents. Like a hub liquor? That's why the village chief was pouring ceramic vials on the cut head fangs and collecting poison. I see, it's time to study.
I put up a tent, ate dinner, and took a bath. There were no service cuts or lucky queues for Anna and the others. It's nothing to spare!
All I have to do is sleep, but how much better than the big forest, this is the middle of the magic. You can't miss the night shift. Originally, I am not obliged to participate as a customer, but I have been allowed to participate in future preliminary exercises. The village chief and Mr Vincent did not participate, and the four guards and five of me took them around. Two people are always awake, and one by one they replace each other. Because I am a child, I am in the first order of rotation. I suddenly fall asleep when I reach my limit.
My partner tonight is Anna. is sitting opposite each other on fire.
"Is that a sign? It's convenient ~"
I can't speak too loudly, but I always have a drowsiness conversation. The events of the day are mostly topical, and I'm talking about the snake I hunted tonight.
"Yeah, I used to only know 'there's something', but now I know the kind of monsters I've seen, and people know 'somebody'.
"Hah, that's amazing. I think you can be a top adventurer with that power alone. How the hell do you know that?
"The intensity of the signs and, uh, the color? I wonder?"
"Color?"
"Yeah, it feels like people and monsters have different colors. The goblin is a dark gray purple, and the snake is a dark, dull green. People are almost white, and it feels like the color is a little mixed.
In fact, if you look carefully at the person in front of you, you can see something like an aura around it. The aura looks colored, but I don't know what that means.
"Hee ~, then, what color am I?
"Was Anna just a little blue and white? You have beautiful colors.
"Heh, heh... fufu, your mouth is pretty good. I'm going to be a bitch in the future.
"Eh! No, I didn't mean that!
I was going to give you an honest impression, but Anna seemed a little overwhelmed. That's why I don't have that kind of skill. I think so.
"Well, you're a magician. No matter how you fall, a woman will come by. It's like you're promised a future.
"Why are wizards so privileged?
"Ah, it's a small number anyway. I've never seen anything but you. And most of them are nobles. It's different from the world we live in.
"But you happen to be a civilian, don't you?
"I hear that kind of talk. I've never actually seen it. Besides, even from what I've heard, I'm surrounded by the lord's kingdom, and I'll never see you again.
"Hmm. What is it?
I don't want to be a dog. I'd like to keep a dog. A single house with a garden.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can convince you by seeing your magic. How many digits are missing?
Mmm, I use it in a fairly restrained way, but is it still out of common sense? It's hard.
"Listen, think of this as guidance from the adventurer's seniors. If you don't want to make trouble from now on, live with that power hidden as much as you can. Strong power calls wealth and fame, but too strong power calls disaster.
Anna suddenly gave me some serious advice. And the content is absolutely true. Even with me, I don't want to get caught up in a futile disturbance.
"Yeah, I got it. Thank you, Anna.
"Hmm, you're certainly strong and smart, but you're still a kid. There are many gaps and it's dangerous. I'm staring at you, and you're making me nervous.
I lived on the border for a long time. There is no doubt that I am ignorant of common sense. Anna is a good sister who teaches me a lot. A bit of lotus leaves would be nice and friendly.
"Ahahah, I'm sorry. I'll do my best to be alone as soon as possible.
"Really, you've changed. Ordinary children get angry when they are treated as children. Are you sure you're seven?
Gyukyu! Sure, ordinary kids want to be treated like adults.
"Really? I don't know because I was the only child in the village.
"Hmm, maybe so. Well, that's fine. Besides, it's about time we took turns. Please wake Lisa.
"Uh-huh, okay!
Hmm, I think I managed to deceive you. It's dangerous. Seriously, it's dangerous, me.
I left the scene to escape and went to wake Lisa.
All the tents are raised three times. If we sleep in one tent two at a time, we are seven, so we have one more. Someone is always awake on the night shift, so this is enough if I sleep alternately, but I am sleeping alone on the carriage. Sometimes someone has to take care of the baggage, except for the tent where the village chief and Mr. Vincent sleep. No matter how many children I have, sleeping with them is a bit distracting.
A child's privilege? It is only in the case of children. My contents are already 30 years old.
As soon as Lisa and Mass called out to the tent where they were sleeping, Lisa came out. They're equipped, and it looks like they've been up for a while. Good awakening may also be a necessary skill for adventurers.
After I give you a turn, I'll go to the carriage. The carrier is full of luggage, but there is a gap for one child to dive in. There are no signs of monsters around, so let's put on a blanket and get some sleep. We'll run a lot tomorrow.
◇
"If you lose your life, leave the money, the luggage, and the women behind!
One and a half days to the city, we're almost through the last forest on the road, and our promise comes true. Bandits. Classic, but I don't remember flagging them. I suppose it means an event that happens automatically. It's annoying.
From what I've seen, there are four in front of the carriage and two behind it, but we know three more are hiding in the woods. I've been caught with signs for a long time, and I've been paying attention to everybody. That's why nobody's in a hurry.
"You guys, don't say anything bad, get lost! I'll miss you now! It would be a shame if you reached out to us!
Anna warns me. This was decided in advance. With me and the village chief, ten or twenty bandits won't get into the threat. It's easy to destroy. Just as a bandit, killing people is troublesome later. If you don't burn or bury the body properly, it can be undead.
In addition, if you encounter a bandit, you must report it to the lord, who will be held for about three days under a backup procedure. Really, it's too much fun!
"Ufufu, you look good. It's not bad to discipline a horse like this. Hey, you bastards! Don't hurt her as much as you can! Suit yourself, kid! Suit yourself!
Yes, negotiations broke down. Well, I thought so from the beginning. If they survive, they'll call you.
Bandits shrink their siege with a head-on bearded man's command. He has an unexpectedly well-maintained sword and spear in his hand.
"Hmm, it's bad luck to let women and children work. I'll come out this time, too.
That's what the village chief came down from the cargo bay. I have my favorite two hand axes in my hand.
"Nah, what, are you still here? Well, don't think we're freaked out by that!
He's freaking out. Gorimacho over 180cm showed up with a terrible murder weapon. It is stranger not to freak out. I was there the other day... that? You're not freaking me out... am I crazy? It's kind of depressed.
"Beet, please look behind you. Anna and I are the four of them. Don't kill him as much as you can. Let's go!
"" "" Yes!
Yes.
With the village chief's call, Anna and the others rushed out. I decided to leave the dent for a while and activate the physical enhancement.
Ah, speaking of which, the village chief has finally been able to strengthen himself. About yesterday. I could not express magic, but my original physical abilities were high, so I was able to produce incredible power. What a luggage carriage (probably more than 1 t) we were able to dive under and float. What a superman o ○ npic! "It's a secret. It can't be activated for a long time, but it's originally an amazing adventurer. It will be enough to defeat the Woodside Bandits.
After activating the strengthening, I rush into the woods. The woods are full of undergrowth, and I can hide enough as a child. Sure enough, the bandits will lose me, but I'm not in a hurry. "A little quick kid ran away." It would be easier for me to think like that.
First, we neutralize those lurking in the woods. The hidden ones are lurking apart. The weapon looks like a bow. I ran away, but I don't see any movement. I don't know if I'm trained or used to it, but it seems to have settled down unexpectedly. Well, it's not a big deal for me.
Once you're deep in the woods, run back on the trees on a skywalk without warning. Bandits' attention is perfect for births, so they're completely blind.
Move upward behind a bowman and hold his right fist flat. With the momentum of jumping, I hit the back of my head as hard as I could.
"Gah!?
"What!? What's wrong!?
The bowman fell facedown and lost consciousness. I'll hide in the womb again before they find me. Repeat after that.
◇
"Fuck yeah, come out, kid! I'll kill you!!
That's not what you're going to say. Around the time the third archer in hiding was defeated, one of the guys who had been showing up from the beginning was clean. With the sword of both hands that I have, I gradually shrug off the fallen. I'm not there. The other one still seems relatively calm and looks around without hesitation. I'll do it from here.
Throw the picked up twig into a distant bush. The noise struck the back of the bandit's head.
"Ugh!?
Like the others, the bandit collapses and loses consciousness.
Yeah, I didn't have to throw a branch. I just wanted to try it once.
The last one looks at us when he hears his fellow man fall. I'm not hiding anymore. You don't have to hide one-on-one.
"Holy shit! I'll kill you!!"
A bandit with blood all over his head waves down his sword. An unexpectedly good swordsmanship. Ex-soldiers?
But what if it doesn't hit me? Half-body, two or three shots to the left and right.
"Damn, you're running around!!
You don't seem to realize that you're getting too angry. Then I don't shake or blur many times.
After a while, the emptiness and fatigue must have accumulated, and the sword speed fell. Should I put a piece on it?
He dives into his nose as he waves down without discipline. Keep up the momentum and slam your right elbow into the bandit's dovetail as you step into your right foot. It's not a game, it's a trick called an elbow.
I don't know how I knew this technique because there was a fighter character when I was making games in my previous life. At that time, I was driven to investigate the fighting moves. Since there was no weapon in this life that could be handled as a child, I used my knowledge at that time to practice a martial arts technique that I could fight with bare hands. I don't know what life helps.
"Uhh... ugh...
Bandits let go of their swords and squat on their bellies. I went into a human emergency with a counter mood. It must be hell's suffering, not crazy to lose consciousness. At least with mercy, I kicked the squatting bandit's head and mowed his consciousness. I'm gentle!
... don't say that on the outside.
