Episode 154: The Second Surprise
"It's amazing that breakfast isn't the rest of yesterday's stuff."
"Really? Nothing, it's normal."
The breakfast Mae prepared for me as a matter of course was a clam-based dish that was easy to get up and out of, unlike yesterday's all-you-can-eat roylops steak.
"Hey, what's with the dough in this soup?
The ingredients on hand are a little meat, potatoes and vegetables. I don't possess dough or anything. Where the hell did he come from?
"I made it out of single chestnut flour from banana imo. It tastes subtly different than potatoes, but, well, I think it made it delicious... maybe it didn't fit your mouth?
This is outrageous.
Speaking of which, a single chestnut flour is originally made from a root of a plant called cataclysm, but they say that what they sell in the store is potato starch, or potato, as I've heard in elementary school family medicine classes, it doesn't seem.
Anyway, with Imo, starch can be extracted and single chestnut flour can be manufactured. It was an idea that I had no idea. And most importantly, he must have succeeded in creating single-chestnut flour because he uses the 'Witch's Cauldron'.
"It's delicious. I mean, it's amazing to even make dough."
What is amazing about May would be her knowledge of cooking and her skill in creating them deliciously, which can be expanded from one ingredient to a variety of variations. A leading cook on TV finishes a delicious one-dish dish with mixed ingredients and the studio is excited. I've seen shows like this. People who are good are good at making tie-in plays.
"This is meant to be herbal tea, don't you think?
"Hmm, it has a unique odor, but I don't think there's anything I can't drink as tea"
"After all, the flavor is too strong. I wonder if this is a bit of a failure."
"But being able to drink anything but water is an incredible advance."
After a meal of herbal tea, I finished a satisfying breakfast since the beginning of my life in the dungeon.
"Well, let's continue our quest."
"Yeah!"
"Gugah!"
With a good reply, yesterday we resumed our exploration of the area around the square, which was interrupted along the way. Exploration, so I'm not going to head to the next square yet. So besides the massive amount of roylops meat, the bathroom is left intact in many witch pots that are turning into Mae's kitchen.
I want to maximize Rem's fighting power, including luggage carrying, and he will still be staying in this square for twenty-three days.
With such a wack, this time we move on the opposite side of yesterday's factory.
This side continues to be cluttered with private house-style buildings that are not particularly noticeable. There are no conspicuously large buildings like factories. At best, enough to have a box-shaped building like a three-story apartment?
"For one thing, let's go somewhere like that expensive apartment"
What stands out from here is a tall building, thought to be the equivalent of ten floors. It looks like an apartment from the exterior, but maybe not at all. Crate, I hope so.
So, five minutes to start walking.
"Oh, there's Jarja, Kotaro."
Discover a small herd of Jarja walking around the corner. Big is mixed with small. Is it a family?
The sight of herbivores walking wide through these ruined cities feels a long but post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Look, zombies come out here, too?
"We have roylops meat, so let's miss it this time"
"But if it's different, it tastes different and it's delicious again, right?
I see, it makes sense. We, the modern hungry, will soon get tired of an irreplaceable meal. Even with the same meat, there should be more variations.
"It's going to be luggage, so if you discover it on your way home, let's hunt one head"
"Well, yeah, I will."
If you get new meat every time you find it, you won't be able to go on exploring it forever. Tendo, with your golden magic formation (item inventory), you can collect as many as you like when you want. It's magicheeto, isn't it?
Continue your exploration while May drops off Jarja with a seemingly unfortunate gaze.
"Kyoaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Shortly afterwards, a loud scream echoed. I just heard this voice yesterday.
"A high zombie!
At the same time, as expected, from the corner of the private house, a red massive-bodied high zombie with rounded muscle fibers appeared. Voices, smells, or magic perceptions, they obviously recognize us, and they're all gone with a successful form like an athlete.
"Just fine, now it's time to try and shoot the wand -"
"Ahhhh!"
"Hey, quick, 'cause you're coming early - yeah,' Wind Blade (Ale Sagitta) '!
To the magic of the first attack in the corner, I didn't have time to cool off. I let go of the Wind Blade (Yale Sagitta) from my wand.
With a slight sense of magic flowing through the wand, an instant blade of brilliant wind is released into thin green. Flying at arrow-like speeds, Wind Blade (Ale Sagitta) hits a high zombie who is not aiming incorrectly and storms in a straight line.
Massive torso cleaved to one letter across, severe blood splash rising. The high zombie turned upside down and the full dash stopped.
"Wooaaaaaa - G, gi, kiiaaaa!
But with deep cuts engraved in his chest, the bloody high zombie began to run again, without falling.
"Wow, are you serious, HP isn't too high!?
I'm also shocked that I couldn't defeat him with one blow, and I'm in a pretty hurry for a fierce dash of high zombies full of energy with a painful scar.
Quick, one more shot, I mean, if you knock it down with two, you can fast pack the distance to the other guys!
"Wogga, ah......"
But before I fired the second shot, the high zombie fell.
On its forehead, an arrow was pierced deep. Headshot.
"Rem!
"Guru, Gugaga"
I'm impressed with my partner's nice assist. [M]
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU -"
And while I was impressed, May buzzed me off a subsequent herd of high zombies who had arrived with martial arts.
A high zombie with a tough macho body, who also withstands the blow of "Wind Blade (Ale Sagitta)," rolled hard on the ground with a threaded bend in a direction that had no neck or hands or feet, if subjected to May's martial arts, and never rose again.
There's too much difference in power between my attack magic and Mae's martial arts.
"Mae, I knew you were going to go back to the guard as a 'magician'."
"Yeah, Kotaro, I'll protect you, don't worry!
With that kind of wack, I got my magic wand and was feeling a little better, and I really wanted to play chicken the way I always do.
While dismayed by the unfortunate power of the magic wand, the search continues.
Encount occurred about twice on the way to the first high-rise apartment I aimed for. For once, the same high zombie as just now. The second time, he was a beastly monster to be called a wolf, bigger than a red dog at a time and fiercer in face. For now, it's called 'The Red Wolf'.
In both fights, I just appropriately "brunette tied" a little bit, and Mae and Rem's dependable avant-garde combination took me down without difficulty.
"Phew, are we finally here"
Get through the null battle and get to the front of the condo.
"At the entrance, it looks like it's collapsing."
For now, the part that touched the front entrance was flashly rubbled, and there was no gap that even the little me seemed to be able to get through.
"Well, the back entrance, or even through the window, as appropriate -"
And as I was chatting, a white line crossed my vision.
Oh, this, Dejavu, it's definitely something I've been through before. Yes, I pinned it right away.
And by the time I pinned it, the white line, the spider thread, was glue-wrapping my body...
"Wow. Oh."
"Kotaro!
"- Oh?
When I was caught in the spider yarn and felt the momentum rising at a tremendous rate, my body stopped, gakung.
May is grasping the root of the spider thread wrapped around me. My body is currently over the window on the second floor of the apartment. Seriously, did you jump and grab it?
"Huh!
At the same time as Mae's temperamental voice, a thousand pieces of spider thread hung me from the noise of Butyri. I was embraced by Mae, and, um, my tits were soft, and I started falling free, and I returned safely to the ground.
"It's Arakune! Don't let them get away with it, Rem!
"Grrrrrr gaaaaaa!"
As if he knew my instructions, Rem had already pulled his bow straight up.
If you look up, there was still Arakune, whose upper body was human and lower body was spider, snapped against the wall near the top floor of the apartment.
I didn't know you lived in this area, too. Some buildings are expensive, so they may actually be easier to live in than forest domes.
Anyway, the arrow Lem unleashed was lucky, and no, by the skill of a definite bow, hit Arakune, who was trying to escape from the wall. Around the man-shaped belly, an arrow was stabbed.
"Kiaaaaa!"
Screaming, Grali and her body leaned and fell as-is - but she quickly regained her position and stepped on the outer wall of the apartment with six spider feet.
"How dare you, Kotaro? - Aah!
Before Rem could watch the two arrows, Mae, with her ambition, was throwing her favorite Halvard.
With tremendous momentum and fast rotation, Halvard flies horizontally through the wall sleigh, pruning Arakune stunningly against the wall with its giant axe blade.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
A woman's throwing suicide, or a sad, tall scream like I think, and thirty meters drops a likely height - Dzung!
Turning up a painful sound, Arakune was slammed to the ground with the momentum of a free fall.
A beat late, Humphung and Sound, Halvard, who slashed Arakune, returns. Whoops, what the hell!? I was the only one who thought that Mae was holding hands up and grabbing them without difficulty, without even looking up. What's that mastery?
"Kotaro-kun, it's okay!? Are you hurt?
Mae turns back to me with a merciful face like a mom worrying about her child, a really crazy warrior's gaze at Arakune.
"It's okay, because Mae helped me fast"
I didn't know you would prevent Arakune from ambushing. It is a tremendous superreaction.
If Mae were to be sniped with a sniper rifle, I wonder if she could handle it.
"Are you sure? Are you sure?
"Because I was just captured by yarn. I mean, I want you to solve this first."
"Oh, I'm sorry!
The thread wrapped around me is intact. [M] For one thing, I'm not comfortable with the fact that you won't untie me.
"Thank you, thank you for your help. If it weren't for May, maybe they'd have caught him just like that."
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't think it was coming from so high... it was a critical place"
Even if you get stuck by surprise, the instantaneous power of rescue in time sucks, doesn't it?
But it really helped. Now again, if Arakune had forced me to leave the party, I might not be able to get back on my feet for a while this time.
"Still, just in the right place, just the right guy showed up."
"Gugaga"
Rem agrees. Arakune's usefulness has already been proven.
"Okay, then hurry up, it's a corpse doll!
With the finished Arakune II, we continue our search. I had to check out the apartment Arakune was in formation, but there was no harvest when it came to this. There were about two crates, but the contents were empty. Perhaps after both my classmates and Gov. bastards brought it up.
But for me, this Arakune II itself is the greatest harvest.
"All right, perfect transporter!
In front of me is a transport-specified Arakune II with two empty chests on the back of two spiders.
This chest probably has the right features to store things for a long time. While the ability to open and close when passed through magic is alive, the storage function will also be maintained.
I mean, even if it's not a treasure, just adding groceries will help enough. Besides the food, the drugs I create, including the 'wound drug A', are basically raw objects, so they are not suitable for long-term preservation. But if we keep this crate, we're going to keep it pretty good.
"Kotaro, you're smart enough to turn a chest into a cooler box."
"Hey, I was just looking for the right box"
I decided to head back to the square for today, deleading myself to May, who praises me betta for trivial things.
"Ah, Jarja! I'm still here!
"We've secured transportation, and you can hunt."
Wow, Halvard, with one hand, I dropped Mae off with a warm glance when she was attacked by a warm herbivore.
Return to Fairy Square with a glue-wrapped jarja with Arakune spider yarn.
When you're just a little bit more ready, it's time to leave.
