Ihoujin, Dungeon ni Moguru

<Chapter 2: Successor of Lemuria> [04]

[04]

The place where I jumped into the red light and landed was a city boulevard.

Forty hierarchies.

It was a vast space that I couldn't imagine as a dungeon, and it contained a whole city.

There is no snow makeup, but it is similar to Lemuria. No, the temperature is much more comfortable than Lemuria. The ceiling lights, which may be fake, are also comfortable. The wind stroking the cheek is the breath of spring. The outlook is good without fog.

The liveliness of the people sounded like a hallucination.

Like a ghost

"Ia"

My head hurts suddenly.

Pain that sharpens the nerves in the head. Especially the back of the left eye and the temple on the left are drawn.

Is the corner crouching? Until now, I was only concerned about the shoulder crystals, but this corner is also abnormal enough. But why at such time.

"Cho, cho!

Voice from above.

Snow breeze falling 4 meters overhead. Contact is immediate as we move.

I took the form of reaching out with my right hand extended,

"Gupia"

Yukikaze screamed like a frog crushed with a stomach bang on my shoulder. Take care of the surroundings while carrying the body that will be the best.

There is no appearance of Melm.

There should be no shadow or shape, though he should have jumped into the portal first.

“……………”

There are various signs and whispers.

This is a dungeon.

Everything you meet seems like an enemy. That said, I can't fight with the snow breeze. I can't fight than before.

"Hey, this is it."

Melm beckoned behind the alley. Signs similar to ripples. As you sneak in, the town dwellers pass by in groups.

what is this.

"If possible, don't find them. They're human, but they're good monsters."

An adventurer often seen in the city.

The only difference was the horns on everyone's heads. The same white corner as me.

"What are they?"

"The Horns, the end of adventurers who couldn't die in dungeons."

"The end"

Then me too.

"You are different"

Melm's voice is gentle and uncomfortable.

"They are violent and unreasonable creatures. If you look at humans, you will be brutally killed.

It's like a beast.

"Do you have any thoughts when you look at them?"

"Separately"

The headache was only for a moment. I feel radiant now.

Rather, it is better than usual.

"One person knows someone similar to you"

"What kind of guy?"

Actually, I have heard a little by rumors.

However, many beasts have horns. It is a rumor that it has been confused and its location has been lost.

"I'm an old friend's daughter. She's a child made with horns. She's just like a normal human, except for one feature. She's like a mother and a beautiful woman. ――

A figure behind the alley.

A female adventurer with an unnatural smile. A beast with small ears, with horns.

"Do not move"

The snow breeze voice and wind noise carried.

A thin black line runs, and iron horns grow on the forehead of the female adventurer. The woman lost her position, but stopped, holding her cane, and received another sword to death.

"Take it down."

Lower the snow breeze as said.

She had an unusual weapon. An elongated tubular weapon that has been deployed. It looks like a black rifle with a trigger, but the bullet is an iron arrow by any means.

"Is it a Gentile weapon?"

Melm casually touches a snow-like weapon.

"No, it's a reinforced crossbow made of this material."

"Where is the string?"

"I have a built-in. I use the processed dungeon pig's intestines instead of rubber and use it for firing. The rubber is rewound by an electric device and at a reasonable firing rate. For convenience, it is called a crossbow But it's structurally closer to a speargun. ''

"A gun?"

"Maybe between a gun and a crossbow."

I'm curious about the elf's habit.

That's surprising. Speaking of elves, there is an image that sticks to traditions and old things.

More worrisome than that

"Yukikaze, don't shoot calmly."

"What?"

My question is, Yukikaze says, "Aren't you stupid? ].

"A monster, but it looks like a human."

"Merm, this is a senior adventurer. It's a bug or something."

"What is an insect?"

"It's a failure of the portal's authentication device. There's no way that such a sloppy person can break through the hierarchy so far."

"It doesn't matter if I'm sweet or spicy."

"Then stop the strange Ichamon."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"strange thing"

Snow breeze supplies bolts to the crossbow.

My mind is complicated.

It is an emotion that cannot be described in words.

It's not like this person. Is it unpleasant to be shown such a thing? What do you think of the person you met yesterday today?

What this.

"Hmm, I found you."

An adventurer with horns and horns from behind the alley. The number is about 12 people on the road.

For unknown reasons, everyone is waving with a smile.

"Is that an enemy?"

My question was ignored by them.

"Yukikaze, is there a blindness I used before?"

"Yes, I always carry it with you."

"Leave this one and let it go"

"Nice idea"

What is that?

"Yes, female enemies"

He was called terribly and was handed a tube.

"What?"

"Go before them and pull out the pins there. It's okay and safe."

"Is it good?"

Trust and receive the tube.

The horned adventurers, smiling, stop waving as I approach and turn back. Metal sound that can be understood by any goofy.

I pulled out the pin.

"Oh, this"

Maybe it's a stun grenade.

Throw and protect your eyes and right ear with one hand.

Flash and roar.

Sound violence attacks the left ear, which was not covered. Pain and tinnitus pulled my body.

"Tsuu"

A terrible woman. Have such a thing before the enemy ------- enemy!

When you somehow hold your sword,

"What?"

It was all over.

Melm pays sword blood. A block of meat that does not retain the original shape at the feet. There is no drop of returning blood, and the face looks like a casual frame.

"I know one thing about you"

"What?"

In Melm's words, snow breeze asks before me.

"This guy responded to a foreign tool. It's something we don't know about here. It's suspicious to say that we have no memory."

"After all, deceive Ally."

"Hey, I don't really know."

Melm is also angry at the wrong reasoning.

"Don't be afraid. If you're a man who tricks a woman, I'm scratching her sleeping neck. I'm whispering about rumors about the city. Gray hair and gold eyes. And horns."

Melm flew my hat with a sword sheath.

Pick up your hat before it falls on the cobblestones and return it to its original position.

"Lie!"

A crossbow was pointed at the snow breeze.

Both me and Melm are now set aside.

"If so, your" I can't remember "symptoms aren't caused by you, but by the outside. Neither the shoulders nor the corners are completely irrelevant."

"Melm, can I ask one?"

"What a snow breeze"

"Is this a monster? A human?"

It is a choice that you can endure.

"Think for yourself, especially if you want to be an adventurer beyond me."

"... I understand."

Snow breeze lowered the crossbow.

While I was relieved, I was able to grasp Murakura for a while.

"Ash. When this request is over and you calm down, she disappears in front of Ally. My party members don't need the troublesome guy you want to see."

"What if I say no?"

Absolutely.

Is this guy not familiar with Ariane's character? Sometimes I'll throw myself away, but I'm sure I'll refuse if someone tells me to do it. He is such a determined person.

"I don't say I'm going to kill you. It's like the same person. At that time, I'll regret my death. Be prepared."

"Really"

It's a pretty threat.

The fight was interrupted.

I heard footsteps. Not one or two.

"Melm, how many people?"

"How many people do you think?"

"It's awkward. About 20?"

"It's good, 24."

No, I think it's 25.

Another group from the back of the alley, from the main street, and from above.

It's surrounded.

"That's the flash grenade you just called for the enemy, right?"

If you emit such loud sounds and lights, enemies will also gather.

"......... Melm, you said you can use it."

"There's no other adventurer in this enemy's active movement."

It's a perfect mistake for Melm.

Is this a really great adventurer? It is crushed by a number or below.

"What to do? Yukikaze is the leader."

Yukikaze responds to my question with a stern glance. I hated something. It is shockingly plain.

"Mermu is the avant-garde, I am the supporter, you are afraid. I will escape behind the alley and scatter enemies."

That's a good decision.

"I'm moving"

"wait"

Stop the snow breeze.

A shadow passed over our head. As it lands, it crushes the previous group of enemies and grinds them to the floor and walls.

A girl with a huge mace.

Unusual appearance, black bikini armor and cloak. A beautiful long-haired semi-long hair with the same beauty as an elf. And this time, the horns were always growing.

This is tricky.

"Melm, enemy?"

Are there any monster strikes?

"Tasteless, more troublesome than the enemy."

"joke"

Raise the mace and the girl attacks.
