Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai
Episode 198: The Chamber of Secrets
Now, today, the third day of school tower life, it feels like we have finally begun our quest to level up and equip everyone, and have taken the first steps towards the Yamatano Orochi crusade. Hey, it was just a streak of hard work just to get everyone off to a start, right?
Totally, when people get together, it's troublesome with all the more trouble... but human beings are the creatures that show their power when they become a group. If we can truly unite, the power of each of our vocations can be combined to defeat even that Reid Boss stained Yamatano Orochi. Anyway, you're tweaking it so you can take it down, right?
"No way. The difficulty system bugged him, and he didn't, did he?
Let's stop thinking about ominous things.
Anyway, I'm going to really think about the Yamatano Orochi crusade.
"I can't think of anything."
To be honest, as things stand, at the earliest possible time rather than that demon, I can't think of any vision of defeating the giant Bosmons that should be called a monster. This is very unlikely that everyone but Three Tops can grow up and win the positive-offense method as it is, even if they have mastered advanced magic and masterclass martial arts.
In defeating him, there are two biggest obstacles.
First of all, how do you suppress those eight brace shooting heads?
And how do we get to the main core, which is a weakness that can kill him.
"I can't keep half my head down with my current strength, and Mr. Langdo's tunnel seems impossible..."
Um, I got stuck on the fast track.
"In the meantime, I guess I'll just focus on getting my immediate gear ready"
The gear renovation plan, which focuses on the equipped little bird game bird and makes all 18 of us the best we can get in gear as we stand, will only take a reasonable amount of time.
"It shouldn't be too late to indulge in actionable maneuvers after everyone's strength, including leveling up here, and the addition of new equipment, has roughly total combat power"
Besides, if everyone collects demonic material, we can hope for further growth of Rem, and maybe there's something else we can do.
"I have to make enough wound pills to get to everyone, too."
Wait, I think so.
Here, the raw materials of the trusted and proven 'Wound Medicine A' are the shame of a fairy square wider than usual, and a sufficient amount can be secured. Besides, we have all the personnel here who will be sourcing the material in the dungeon if you ask.
And most importantly, there are 'wise men' with advanced smelting abilities.
"Maybe you can do a homemade potion or something, right?
Wound drug A is just an excellent drug. If we can improve this a little bit more, can we get a little closer, even if it doesn't extend to the real potion?
Besides, only two of us can exercise healing magic: Aemon Sakura and Aili Himeno. Among other things, Himeino has a very high demand for medicines to heal wounds because they have almost minimal healing performance.
Cherry blossom healing magic has grown well and they now boast quite a performance...... I can't trust them at all because I'm allergic to them. Even if you have the power to cure it, it doesn't necessarily cure you.
So, as far as I'm concerned, assuming that there are no healers from the beginning, I have to secure a means of healing, such as wound medications and potions.
Um, thinking about it, don't make this a pretty high priority plan, in parallel with the gear renovation plan.
"Hey, Mr. Little Bird Play, how many days can you stay up all night?
"Psst!?
Oh, I got away.
Oh, my God, I just asked you a few questions. Isn't it terrible to run away from tears or something?
"Little bird play, just leave the norm of today's copy behind."
Since I have time until the expedition team collects useful demonic material, I would like Mr. Bird Play to keep a prototype duvet, as well as detailed household groceries, etc. within today. If you really go into enhanced equipment production, you'll be busy. Depending on the progress of the work, it's usually possible to stay up all night, so be prepared.
"Well, now we're finally alone with May"
The chairman of the committee is out today as an exploration unit, and Heavenly Door, you and Mr. Langdon headed to Orochi's nest. The only three people left in this school tower are me, May and Mr. Little Bird Play. So, that little birdie also went into work on the ground floor now, so I won't be traveling until lunch.
"Heh heh, it's been a while since I've felt you two together."
Seeing May smiling somewhere happy makes me a little thrilled. Including this intimate atmosphere.
"I haven't been around since I got here."
Think of it, from the moment I transferred, I didn't have time to stand around fully open and establish my position from ensuring safety and rest my mind. I guess the chairman of the committee resents you, but I think I'm worth the stress, too?
"Now I can finally crack your belly and talk."
Me and May's intimate meeting place is on the top floor of the school tower, on the fifth floor, in one of the rooms.
The first floor of the school tower is used as a transfer magic entrance, as a workshop and arsenal.
Upstairs is Fairy Square. It is also a classroom where everyone gathers, and a dining room.
And the third and fourth floors are their own private rooms, divided into men's dormitories on the third floor and women's dormitories on the fourth floor.
Almost all rooms are made the same. Slightly, just different in size and shape. Although the stone room without windows is so occlusive that I think it might be a shack, it is already starting to get cluttered up because it brings in various materials, hardware, etc., about my room.
"I'm glad you only spoke to me."
"Well, Mae deserves it."
As things stand, Mae is the only one I can trust from the bottom of my heart. Conversely, if she betrayed you, you could die clean now. So to speak, Brutus for me... no, it's betrayed me.
"But for now, you can't even think of any particular mastery,"
"So we're all gonna take down Yamatano Orochi?
"Because maybe that's the only way to break through here. What do you think of May?
"I think I'll just have to take it down, too. But I don't know if I can trust everyone yet."
May, who says so, including her friend Himeno, has become quite clever, hasn't she? Well, with all the experience I've had, naturally it will.
"Not just us. I think we're all the same."
Even that trio up and down that I don't seem to think much about is wacky choosing to follow me with my current profits and intentions. I mean, that's what all my factions look like.
"I hope everyone believes in Kotaro soon."
"Hey, that's why the pressure..."
Now if everyone trusts me like Mae, I'm gonna be a pretty powerful army, but then I'm gonna be the one directing the operation. When everyone heartily believes in the operation I set up and executes it, and I suffer an irrevocable loss, can I stay sane... well, that's why it's worse to have anxiety elements like Aoshi brothers and sisters who are likely to do things on the ground on their own or defy them.
"In the meantime, I want to earn your trust enough to follow Operation Yamatano Orochi. So I guess Mae wants us to prioritize getting along rather than being vigilant now."
"Is that true, with you too?
"Yeah, that's what I'm after."
Yudo Aoi resents me for killing his childhood friend Raina. But not even about Mae, who believes in me the most, who hates me.
The primary reason is that there's no direct connection to Raina's murder, and besides, as far as I can tell from hearing about Mae when she was at the Brave Party, I think Aoi Makoto was pretty concerned about Mae. Plus, I owe you in the Gogma War.
Perhaps Aoi Mae and I would normally like to have a friendship. Blah, blah, blah. Deep psychology wants you to betray me, doesn't it?
"But if I approached Aoshi, would those kids make a scene?
"It would be more convenient for you to make a scene. Because I'm still attracted to May."
Most men swallow what a woman says... but Aeman Yudo has a keen instinct. If someone says something that makes Mae jealous and demeans her, Aoshi will realize it's a bad emotion that comes from ugly jealousy.
I think Aoshi proved that you pushed off the opposite of cherry blossoms and gave Mae Shizuku. Aoshi, you are never a wacko of cherry blossoms and other girls.
He has his own will and righteousness, because that's what the name of the 'brave man' deserves, so if Aoshi himself wants friendship with May, he'll never shake it to the extent of lay such as crap rumors and lies.
"Oh, yeah, right. It's easier for me to kill Aoshima-san when I have to."
"It's enough to stop me at ease if possible, and I'd like to cure that kind of emergency."
At that time when I came across Rayna at the scene of the killing, Aoshi herself had no grudges against May, so it had a very significant deterrent effect on her being my shield.
Because if it was the Upper Middle and Lower Trio or Yamada that shielded me with that, I think they cut me off without question. It was Mae who stood there, so Aoshi couldn't step in any more than that either. Of course, 'Mad Warrior' will also have the power.
"But I'm not sure I can get too close."
"'Cause I don't want you to dictate anything. It's not wacky."
Seriously, don't do color tricks or anything, okay? Stop it, Mae, the NTR Attack works for me. Because it's instant death.
"I think you should just respond with a smile normally. Besides, from now on, we're going to have a chance to fight together, so if you go for a position like one of our friends you can count on in battle."
"That's not much different from before, so it's going to be okay."
"And then, stay close to none other than Aoshi. Especially if it's about me."
"Yeah, I got it."
Then, speaking of my thoughts sloppily, I left the 5th floor room of the secret meeting place within a very short time.
We both came back upstairs in Fairy Square.
May has a job in making lunch and saving meals. Anything, this time you're looking to make preserved foods by freeze drying?
While the culinary repertoire also continues to increase as access to that uninhabited island area is now free and a variety of ingredients can be sourced in a stable manner. Unlike dried or fermented foods, freeze-dried dries only drain moisture from the dish itself, so hot water can revive the dish as it is. If we succeed, we should be able to save a whole range of dishes.
If you think that the dungeon offense will continue even after defeating Yamatano Orochi, the enrichment of preserved food is by no means a bad thing.
I want Mae to work very hard.
I'll do my job, too, with the wax.
"Well, I'm sleeping in that hammock over there."
Rem is paying for everything, but he's in the same Fairy Square as May, so his safety is guaranteed.
"Goodnight."
"Yeah, good night"
Dropped off by a smiling May, I travel my consciousness from the hammock in Fairy Square to the nest of Yamatano Orochi, not the world of sleep.
- Good morning, Mr. Langdon.
"Wow!? Peach River woke up!?
When you wake up, it's hard wilderness ground. I suck at sleeping, but it's what Mr. Langdo stood right around the corner, so even a short skirt is in a great location to view from the low angle.
Oh, you're wearing the spider yarn pants I gave you properly. White suits you, too.
"Well, let's do our best to build today"
"Ugh."
As always, no shards of yall chi. Reply. But Orchido, who somehow and extensively uses earthly magic, is a serious, or very close associate.
This is the end of a rind bowl shaped field overlooking the nest of Yamatano Orochi. It's a line that he won't respond to critically.
I am the Yamatano Orochi Surveillance Officer who maintains the "Double Shadow" on the ground.
Mr. Langtang has just arrived at the scene aboard the Alpha.
Heavenly Tao, you're with me today, but you're not in the mood or fighting. He's sitting back near us, fast, taking a nap. I wonder what you're doing here.
"... Peach River, I knew I couldn't make a building."
"Hmm, looks like it"
Though the trenches are gradually digging, the tortica builders have made no progress at all.
In the hands of Mr. Orchido today, the intermediate-range defensive magic of the earthly attribute, "Rock Wall (Terra Woldefan)," allows us to deploy a dozen earthwalls over three meters high at once... only one wall can be stretched.
A building must naturally have blocked ceilings as well as walls surrounding all sides. Then, naturally, you need an entrance or exit to use it.
It is, however, apparently very difficult to create a box shape that allows people to come and go, even if they can build one large wall.
"Hmm, lack of imagination? Or is it simply a matter of talent... that women are less capable of spatial recognition... and maybe 3D shapes are not good"
"Uh, are you nuts about us?
"Did you like building blocks and blocks when you were little, Mr. Langdon?
"We put it right in his mouth. It was forbidden, you know."
"So, have you ever made a plastic model or something?
"What's so fun about that? It's totally just work. I'm worried I'll do it for $10,000 a day."
"This may not be fundamentally appropriate."
"What's that, it's worse!?
Whatever you think, you don't think Mr. Langdon has architectural aptitudes. Apart from the talents, it's also important to simply like or dislike them.
When I was in kindergarten, I loved the big tree building blocks, and every time I wanted to build a castle during my holidays, I was repeatedly interrupted by time limits and childcare workers' hands.
Other than that, I liked that world-famous block of toys, and Pramo and the like are getting their hands on the crowd as boys. I think you still like to make something, and since you got the Simple Smelting Formation, you've lived a full life of making things.
But I can't help it if I'm fit. Because "dirt magician" is Mr. Langtang.
"Think of something else… If it is, just prepare building materials…"
"Hey, we can build a building block if that's what you want."
"No, not as long as I'm cultivating material in the building blocks now. - No, wait."
You know, just the building blocks, right?
"Mr. Langdon, can you make just one block like a brick?
"Huh? We can afford that now."
And, if she held her hand slightly, a block made of brick-sized sandstone was complete within a moment, as if it had been there from the beginning on the ground.
The chant of the magic name was nashi, and I didn't use a golden revolver instead of a wand.
I guess I can really afford to make one of these sandstone blocks if it's Mr. Langdo's strength right now.
"So can we make another one on this, the same one?
"Ho."
What do you think, the second overlapping block appeared with the doya face just saying.
"This. Come on, I guess we can just build it by blocking it like this anymore."
In the first place, it was a mistake to try to get all the walls and ceilings out in one shot.
Defensive magic is fundamental to creating shields and walls in one piece. The exception is Aoshi Cherry Blossom's "Holy Heaven Conclave (Oracle Field)". Only the arrow is the barrier type that covers the entire body.
With the exception, if defensive magic is basic on its own, if you put out four walls and a ceiling, five surfaces together at the same time, it would simply take five times as long to think about it. So, with a little trial and error, I said, can we get the same magic to five times the output, well, I can't.
But as long as the magic continues, it's easy to use the same magic five times in a row. In short, if you put up four pieces of defensive magic, that's all the walls surrounding all sides can be built.
"Uh, I see."
"I mean, why didn't I realize this was so obvious..."
That's not the first thing to do. It's just an idea. Even trenches in the first place, even though they're just made with a series of 'stone shields (terra shields)' hits.
Hey, I may have prioritized the image of completing it with a single magic shot. Mr. Langdon, too, is bad because he suddenly tries to do it on the sole.
"Let's start with the practice of building walls and columns and linking them together with a wax called"
"Wow, something plain doesn't feel right again"
Unfortunately, Mr. Langtang, at the time you were given the vocation of "earthly magician," you cannot escape the fate of plain. Give up and hone your construction skills in the tunnel!
