Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai
Episode 130: The Castle of Goma
I started going through the jungle and three days went by. The ruins that stand there, I guess, are part of the dungeon, but I couldn't find Fairy Square in just the right position as before. So on the first and second evenings, watch in turn and stay among the appropriate ruins. Today on the third day, fortunately, by Mr. Natsukawa's inquiry, he discovered Fairy Square, which was behind the ruins on the verge of collapse.
After all, everyone realized on the third night that the peace of mind in Fairy Square was so great. Yesterday, last night, I didn't fall asleep swallowing, just because I was keeping an eye on how much. I've had a lot of experience with Nojuku in the mountains too, but I still had to be pretty careful and admit I was mentally tired.
You're lucky you didn't have to encounter a powerful demon at a time like this. Maybe that flying dragon is coming at me on a whim, something I've been wary of inside. After all, I haven't seen that dragon since I first witnessed it. Was that a coincidence, or have you spent days flying around the territory? The information about the dragon still remains mysterious in its strength and ecology, as it was neither the magic team's email.
As a result, we went this far unharmed while defeating the jungle demons. As we move forward, the rate of encounters with Goma is clearly increasing because we are approaching the Negijo of the Goma Legion. Conversely, other demons were no longer visible. You should think of this neighborhood as completely Goma territory already.
I'm getting tired of dealing with Goma and Gov., but I had a definite harvest.
That is the discovery of the Demon Stone.
A Demon Stone is a crystal of magic that strikes a core and another kind. Essentially, it is divided into attributes such as fire, water, wind, etc., which, by impacting or flushing magic, react to the magic of the attributes put into it. For example, if you tap the demon stone of the fire attribute, the flame will erupt.
Goma's elite warrior Taru Gove used this demonic stone, many of whom came to use a magical weapon of simple structure. Mostly, it is used as an arrow, releasing arrows of fire and thunder. Occasionally, some guys used spear tips as demon stones.
The magic team's e-mail info says that Demon Stone is not a replacement for Core, but it was also worth using separately for us.
"With this, we can practice a lot!
A little birdplay is making me jerk off in front of a bunch of demonic stones that shine like colorful gems.
Apparently, using this demonic stone as an ingredient, he intends to smell a magical weapon.
Until now, in order to create a magical weapon, we needed demonic material with its magical attributes. Produced in the same way with Demon Stone, or, if we can enhance the weapons we have now, it would be quite useful.
"... sorry, I failed"
But it didn't work out very well. With an iron sword and a fiery demon stone, he tried to make a fiery sword, but what was completed was a sword whose fullness was only slightly warm.
Apparently, in one or two demon stones, it doesn't do much good. Unless it's a bigger demon stone, or a more pure thing, you won't be able to bring out the power of the level of action.
or so, if we put in large quantities of small demonic stones, this time the smelting itself failed. Are you saying that at the skill of Mr. Little Bird Play yet, it's not enough to handle high magic?
It is desirable to level up in the future… although it is not instantaneous, it has also opened up another possibility.
"Eh, I can do it!
It was a magical item that was created at the end of numerous failures.
"Just the demon stone, did you smelt it"
"This looks like a red ring."
The first prototype is a red, shining ring, made exclusively of fire demon stones. Like Ruby, it has the texture of a clear crimson crystal, the Demonic Stone of Fire, ring-shaped as it is.
"Yeah, if you put this on, you can just get a little fire out!
Quickly, little birdie puts a ring on his little finger and puts it into practice.
"Haaaaaa... Fire!
A small fire lit up at the tip of his finger, along with a buoyant hanging voice. It's the size of a candlelit fire, and if you breathe hard, it's going to go away.
Hmmm...... more shoddy than I thought.
"Name it, it's 'Chukka Ring'! Hmm, what do you say? Birds, awesome?
For a moment, I'm stuck with words against a confident little birdie. Likewise, cherry blossoms piercing no-comments, they glance at me with a flicker. Come on, just at times like this, don't rely on your brother.
"Um, the"
"What, that's not a big deal. Isn't that enough for a lighter?"
Tomorrow that we were watching together was expressing an opinion that was not abhorrent as a best friend.
"Mmm, that bucker of yours tomorrow!
It was a swollen little birdplay, but everything should start with a small step, by the smelting of this lighter-like firepower, "Chukka Ring," she mastered new magic.
"Demon Coaching Formation": engrave the technique by their own magical powers into the basic smelting. The beginning of an eternal magical quest.
This "Demon Coaching Formation" has made it possible to make the smelting almost as random as it used to be, to some extent, the shape and effect that I wanted. However, due to the lack of proficiency of Mr. Little Bird Play himself, it is still difficult to have powerful magical effects, etc. It is still going to be a while before we can hope for significant enhancements over the previous weapon smelting.
However, Mr. Little Bird Play discovered the astonishing use of The Devil's Training Formation.
"Muffled, this, nah?
Again, with a confident Doya face, Little Bird Play introduces her next piece.
"Uh, smartphone, it just looks like"
I answer what I see. 'Cause what she's got in her hands is nothing more than a smartphone, no matter where she comes from. A smartphone with a cover of minor local characters like Nantka is supposed to be Mr. Little Bird Play's stuff.
"Yes, Aemon, you're right! Yes, it's a smartphone!
"Um, but Mr. Little Bird Play's smartphone said he did run out of batteries - no way"
Phew, and he sounded his nose so well, that Mr. Little Bird Play made a grand declaration.
"Oh my God, when I smell the Thunder Demon Stone, I can charge my smartphone, so - sooo!
"Ooh."
And I honestly admire it. Like me, other members must have honestly found it amazing, watching with intrigue.
Ever since I came to a different world dungeon that had nothing to do with electricity, I thought I could never charge my smartphone or anything like that again, and I turned it off and kept it warm in case, but I didn't know I could charge it.
"It's like one of these little demon stone shards, what a full charge!
Sure, the battery icon on the smartphone is full.
Thunder's Demon Stone is taken many from Gove's arrows. Right now, just for what I have, I'll be able to charge all my members' smartphones multiple times.
"Now you can use your smartphone all you want! You can make all the calls you want!
"No, Mr. Bird Play, I can't call you."
"What?"
Such an idiot, and cute little birdie trick to round her eyes, but honestly, I'm wary of what she thinks if only she had a smartphone, she'd think the phone would make sense.
"'Cause a phone call is..."
Pilrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! and a grand ringtone rings out loudly.
"Your brother's, isn't it ringing?
"What!?
Such an idiot, and it was up to me to round my eyes.
I should have left the power off and left it in my uniform pocket with my usual habits. But without cherry blossoms telling me, my smartphone is making powerful ringtones. In my pocket, I can also tell I'm blubbering.
"Ugh, you're lying, you really do make sense"
Horrible, if you take it out, the bright smartphone screen said big, little bird playing little bird.
"... hello"
"Hello, Aemon! It's a bird. Yikes!
Yeah, I know. You're talking to a smartphone with an innocent smile in front of you.
I can hear Mr. Little Bird Playing directly, but in my ear, I did hear her from the smartphone, too.
It goes through. Without a doubt, I have to admit that me and her smartphone are getting through right now.
"What the hell is this..."
"Maybe the little bird's assumption was incorporated as magic into the smartphone as it was"
The chairman of the committee answered my question seriously.
"No, but is that something that's going to be convenient?
"Then I wonder if you'd be more comfortable telling me that there's a radio base station in this dungeon."
As a matter of course, when communicating on mobile phones, smartphones, telephones, emails, etc., it is not a wacky idea that each other's terminals are connected by radio waves directly. Even if you make a call to the person in front of you, the mobile device flies a wave to the nearest wireless base station, through which you reach the other person's terminal. Distance is irrelevant to each other.
It is the transceiver that communicates directly on the radio.
"Okay, let's just say the magic of the wise."
"Yeah, it sounds better for the little bird to stay like this, to stay mistaken. Weird to understand, it might not take magic."
with a wack of understanding and convincing, and completing a palate with it.
"Awesome, little birdie! Now we can get in touch with everyone! I was wondering if you could charge everyone's smartphone quickly."
"Yeah, I'll take care of this' sage 'little bird game bird!
That's how we got the magic smartphone.
Mr. Little Bird Play is in The Devil's Training Formation, charging his smartphone. In doing so, she thinks it's important that you can probably get in touch with her on your smartphone once you've charged it. Strong thoughts similar to that wish unwittingly engrave magic on the smartphone.
Is that really going to work? It was half-heartedly, but in fact, there was nothing more to it than to make sure that everyone's smartphone was available for phone, email and SNS without any problems and believe in its effects.
"Um, but I can't connect to the internet, and I'm not calling anyone else."
"This is a different world, so it doesn't connect to the original world. But with someone nearby, we can connect because we can get a radio wave."
"Oh my God! That's right!
It was to be firmly established that Mr Little Bird Play's mistake was entirely explained by the President of the Commission in a transceiver's explanation. Her low understanding of communications technology is a lamentable level as a high school student, but nevertheless, we should be pleased here that the assumption of that mistake has helped.
Even if you are in a transceiver state where you can only communicate with close range buddies, having the means to communicate with a remote opponent is a very useful effect. It is a miracle smartphone magic, where vocation is the 'sage' and it was born because it is Mr. Little Bird Play.
In fact, everyone else is thrilled. Except for one, Mr. Twin Leaves, who unfortunately grips his smartphone.
"Kotaro and I should have exchanged addresses..."
I couldn't find a word to say to her to lean down.
Having developed "Chukka Ring" and a magical smartphone, Little Bird Play has since continued to make magical tools, small objects that should be called magic items, that utilize a little demonic stone. Things with awesome effects that make it instant can't seem so easy, but if you keep practicing every day like this, she will soon be able to develop a variety of magic items.
While Mr. Little Birds plays hard, we also proceed cautiously in the jungle towards the castle of Goma, where we will have the next metamorphotic magic formation.
"- Wow, there it is! I knew it, Goma's Nest!
"Bandit" Natsukawa, who always leads the way, finally discovered Goma's residence. When we proceeded carefully, there was certainly a Goma residence ahead of us.
Doesn't seem like a castle that's a destination, just a little settlement or something?
Goma, like Skeleton, is not the kind of demon that springs naturally from the dungeon. I've always expected there to be a nest somewhere, but this is the first time I've seen the real thing.
"Nest, it's more like a village"
"Right. At the very least, you seem to have the intelligence to build it."
In a dense forest full of depressions and trees, it is a place clearly cut open. A tent-like house lined with a thin, dirty, coarse-eyed fabric.
Though unsuitable for the surroundings, they also stretched wooden fences that stuck wooden piles to the ground and fastened them with ropes like a bamboo.
"What do you want to do, brother?
"They haven't noticed, and they're not going to be able to ambush us."
Goma is not so much a menacing demon, but there are many, and if they persist in targeting him, he will wear out, and it doesn't change that he is a troublesome being. As the chairman of the committee said, if we carry out an ambush here, we could all be wiped out at once.
But oh and seeing you live in a settlement, very normally with children, no matter how many demons are against you...
"No, let's ignore this place and hurry ahead"
"Well, I've never done anything to avoid an extra fight."
"So is that. Leaving it alone doesn't seem like a big threat."
Are you aware of my whispering guilt or not? Anyway, the cherry blossoms, the chairman of the committee and the other members were convinced to leave quietly so that they wouldn't find the spot.
Small settlements like this have no problem ignoring them.
It's the castle with the Transition Magic that's bound to stand in front of us. If you get there, it's inevitable to turn it into a battlefield, no matter what the goma of a woman and child is.
"... is that the castle of Goma"
Thus, at the end of a nearly week's walk around the jungle, we finally arrived.
In the dense woods, the giant pyramids soar like mountains. Reminiscent of the ruins of the Mayan civilization.
The stone giant building is clearly beyond Goma's architectural capacity and is part of the dungeon ruins, no matter what you think. The culmination of this pyramid is indicated by the Magic Formation Compass - and the pyramid was transformed into a fortress manned by a large number of Goma soldiers.
Around the Pyramid Castle, the same tents as Goma's settlement, seen during the jungle march, are spread to a considerable extent. As early as possible, this should be more of a castle town than a settlement.
"... brother, what do you want to do?
"It might be a little harsh to attack right over there."
Both the cherry blossoms on the boulder and the chairman of the committee have a dark expression in front of such a massive town of Goma. This is different from fighting because we encountered it in the dungeon as before. Assaulting over there would be a little war.
"But the only way to move on is to go over there. This is the jungle outside, so you won't be able to find your way around like you've been before"
"That's right! I saw it on the tower pedestal, and it was the only place that seemed to have a metamorphotic magic formation."
Mr. Little Bird Play, I strongly assure you.
There's no possibility. I don't think it's a wack, but it didn't catch on to the map feature of the pedestal, which means there's no other transfer magic formations or entrance to the underground dungeons, at least around here.
If we're going to search, we have to get pretty far. And even if you look, there's no guarantee anywhere you'll find it.
"But there's a little..."
"Oh, there's going to be a lot of passives"
Natsukawa-san and tomorrow, it doesn't feel like much of a ride.
"Um, isn't it okay?
But only Mr. Twin Leaves flat out at his usual rate.
"Mr. Twin Leaves, what are your less reckless remarks -"
"'Cause, like always, you just have to take down the boss and transfer, right? You don't have to deal with all the goma over there, so if you go to Sa and knock him down, can you just run away?
"It's that easy..."
The cherry blossoms on her face are half full, but what Mr. Twin Leaves said makes sense.
"No, in the end, there's only one way to do that. Hopefully, infiltrate the castle so they don't find out, quickly defeat the boss and get the core. Immediately afterwards, he escaped with a metastasis."
"Well... there's no other way, so I guess I'll have to do it."
I don't really feel like riding, but once you decide, the conversation is quick. Everyone will have anxiety, but push it away and stand up bravely with the weapon in their hands.
Nevertheless, we are not going to be waxed to infiltrate with momentum as it is. As far as possible, we should look down and be ready.
