Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?

Episode 16: Give me another chance, please. ①

After school the next day. We were just coming to the labyrinth to find clues to the missing person.

"Is this the labyrinth where Shoko Sato became uninformed?"

As I stepped into the labyrinth, I looked around.

The type of field is forest type. From the gap between the lush trees, the sunset slipped in moderately bright and the view was bright, and the temperature was about spring with a pleasant breeze, a labyrinth that the Enjoy might prefer.

If an accident were to occur in the F-rank labyrinth, it would often be bad weather such as rain in the labyrinth at night.

After all, it's strange that there are missing persons in the best possible environment for this attack, and I have deepened my conviction that this is a case.

"Was it just a week before Shoko Sato went missing?

"Yes, according to Quest... an acquaintance worried about Shoko Sato, who doesn't dive back into the labyrinth alone, sent out a search request two days later, Shapess"

"Sure, that's where the adventurer history is, isn't it?

"Records say it's been a year or so."

One year... Based on my adventurer history, I'll be a senior. Depending on how often you dive into the labyrinth, it would be around the time you're used to directing cards and raiding monsters.

I don't think it's going to be missing in the F-rank labyrinth after a little incident or so.

After all, she was attacked by someone in this labyrinth. Probably... by a houndster.

"... in the meantime, do you want me to summon the card"

It's a labyrinth where the killer might be lurking, even though he's carrying the gate of return.

It would be better if we summoned the cards.

I took Yuki's card out of my nostalgia.

Drawn there is a beautiful, strange girl with a known name.

When I was old, was it as good as me? He has brown hair in a ponytail with a dark green mesh, his tiny, large eyes pale gold like the moon, and he looks at this one with a pleasant grin.

... Although I've done a lot of research since then, most of the newly acquired skills didn't even come up with a name, and the only thing I barely understood was the Lord of the Territory and Higher Ninja.

Of these, higher ninjas could easily be looked into, and this was a local skill in Japan.

Local skills are special skills that appear only in monsters in a particular region.

Chinese fairy arts, European witchcraft, Nordic rune witchcraft, etc…. Skills that can only be worn by monsters that emerge in that particular region are referred to as local skills, distinguished from normal skills.

One of the hallmarks of local skills is that they have pointy traits instead of losing their versatility unlike normal magic skills.

In the case of ninja skills, there are many techniques that can confuse enemies, such as the art of change or the art of separation.

For example, the technique of watering. This is a ninja technique that allows you to dive into the water and engage in prolonged activities underwater.

... Now that I think about it, the houndsman Lycanslope who ambushed me from Lake that day also had ninja skills.

It was my failure to turn the lake back unsecured, no matter how little ninja skills I had in minor.

Secondly, the Lord of the Territory, but this was a skill in forming a territory according to combat power around itself. They combine signs perception with collective behavior and healing skills to detect signs of enemies entering the territory, improve overall allies' abilities, and slightly heal damage and fatigue.

When it comes to shortcomings, it becomes a form of informing the surrounding area of Yuki's presence while it is generating territory, thus keeping weak enemies whose fighting power is too far apart and attracting more enemies than the same. So much so that the territory will narrow according to the combat power of the enemies around it.

Still, the advantages of enhanced ability and sustained recovery of the opponents and allies as a whole were excessive to compensate for the disadvantages.

Many do not know the details, such as the true one or the breakthrough of limits, but the Lord of the Territorial Territory and High Ninja alone have the power to change previous strategies into galleries.

That's so much so that I thought that if I had this skill then I would have eaten a little more down on my hound users...

So the more power I gained, the more anxiety I had about whether it was really Yuki I knew.

But that's also clear if we call her here now.

"Come, Yuki!

Shake off the stray and summon Yuki.

With the light, the girl who was illustrated shows up.

He is about… 160 cm tall, about halfway between Lianhua and Eliza. She has a skinny, tight body and is in athletic shape. What I'm wearing is a white sleeveless with a navel out turtleneck, with a cracked abs peeking. The lower body, by contrast, is invisible to the line of the body with dabbling black trousers.

Overall, she was a beautiful girl with an active impression.

"Yuki...... is it?

To her, who somehow entwined the same atmosphere as the former Yuki, but became a completely different person, asks terribly......

"Yes! Master!"

With tears in her eyes she...... Yuki answered.

Its soft waist and voice are no different than when it was cool.

Was it due to my sentiments that I visioned the tail swinging a boom on its back?

I switched to Link and asked her as I grated my breasts first.

'... what the hell happened? When did you become Lycanslope?

"I'm sorry, I don't know..."

"Right......"

'More than that... excuse me, master. I can't help you...'

That's what I said, Yuki bowing his head to regret.

Through the link comes the carelessness and pity for myself that I had no choice but to put my people away and run away......

But that's...

'No, that's not your fault. It's because of my mistakes. "

I'm the one who made the mistake. I'm the one who decided to dump Lianhua and run away to the pawn. All responsibility lies with me.

When I started pushing the blame for my defeat onto the cards, I ended up as an adventurer and a human being.

That was the last thing I had to do to escape.

But still, Yuki shakes his head.

'No, but if I were stronger then... Master'

Yuki seeps her strong determination into her eyes and stares at this one.

"What's up?

"Do you still have two Lycanslope cards?

"Oh, I do..."

'Would you give me that card, if I may?

'Is...?

Unexpectedly, I was taken aback.

Understanding doesn't keep up with the unusual situation where cards want cards.

"Well, why not?

"My new skills True Family Summoning is… the skill of eating other cards and taking in that monster."

"Eat and take in the cards...?

'Do masters know their normal family summoning skills?

"Oh."

Family Summoning skills are the ability to voluntarily invoke a certain number of monsters of the same lower rank, or lower rank, countless times per set of hours, or a certain number as tokens.

In the former case, as Heikovolt calls the Kobolts, one must take the time at a time at a time, but that number can be called unlimited.

In the latter case, although there is a limited number that can be called in advance, like the water tiger who once fought, many numbers can be called at a time, and the integral talent value is higher than in the former.

In addition, the overall trend of tokens is that they can only have less combat power than the original initial combat power of their species, only have skills and congenital skills, and the tokens they invoke do not pass on memory or grow.

I mean, I guess a family summons is the ability to summon something like a shadow of a lower race.

Completely, it can be described as a skill that emphasizes quantity over quality.

Still, the ability to increase allies by ignoring the subpoena frame in the labyrinth is immense, and cards with family subpoena skills are highly priced.

Cards that currently have family summoning skills, most of them as congenital skills, have not found a way to make them remember as acquired skills.

Very rarely, it was enough that what I had as an acquired skill appeared from the beginning when I dropped it as a card.

... and well, here's what I know about my family summons skills.

"My skills in True Family Summoning are slightly different from my normal family summoning skills. First of all, you can call monsters without any catalyst in your family summons skills, whereas true/family summons skills require cards of the same race. The number of tokens you can call will be the number of cards you capture '

"Hmmm......"

I had a few thoughts about the pros and cons of needing the same kind of cards, but I encouraged them to listen until the end and then make a decision.

'Next, normal tokens only have minimal performance and grow, but my calling tokens can keep the performance of the captured cards intact and even grow just like normal cards by gaining experience. Moreover, as with normal tokens, you can call again over time without dying or being lost'

'Are you serious!?

To Yuki's words, I couldn't hide my surprise this time.

such as being able to give out a growing token... virtually equals saying you can call an indestructible card.

It is no longer close to that of the master beyond the limits of the card.

No, even considering the need for a card for a catalyst, I guess this is a skill to call card-mastering.

Too strong...... A Rank Class Skills...... had the power to rank top B skills, even though it was too much to say.

"Tell me more"

Then, after asking for details of the summons of true and family members, it was found that:

· A card of the same race is required to register a token. The captured cards cannot be returned.

· Tokens can grow like cards unlike regular tokens. However, they grow slower than normal cards and are less likely to express their skills.

-They just need cool time when the token dies and they don't lose it.

The token can be awarded with one skill of the main unit, one rank down.

Up to three cards can be registered. More than that, it's impossible without turning off any of them. This number could grow in the future.

-If you handle tokens too poorly, you may gain treason skills just like regular cards.

· When Yuki ranks up, any cards taken in will be lost because the race will change.

...... There are disadvantages. It hurts that you can't get back the cards you took in, and when you rank up, it hurts to lose them, and it's also tight to gain treason skills such as' Closed Heart 'like Lotus Hua, who used to be a fool if you didn't handle them badly.

But tokens that can grow more than that...... no, it was a powerful advantage to be able to call cards that don't lose.

It is fascinating, among other things, to be able to call beyond the subpoena limits of the labyrinth.

A normal labyrinth offense, as well as being useful in Moncolo games, would be helpful.

'What about other skills?

'As for the true...... sorry, I don't know'

Shun and Yuki bowing their heads. Among the skills were three patterns: one that knew everything about how to use it the moment it was acquired and one that even the user was not sure about, or its mixed type.

The first is common in magic and skill skills, and the second is many special types such as brave skills. True men seemed to have special skills, just like brave men's skills.

It should be noted that most skills are considered a third pattern.

'Really... what's the limit breaking?

'Oh, I know a little about that one. Breaking limits seems to be the ability to double your initial combat and growth limits to bring some of your skills beyond normal'

"Twice! You mean virtually B-rank!

No, the B rank should be called the Degraded B rank because congenital skills are also stronger than the C rank, but it would still not fit into the C rank boundaries.

On the contrary, if Yuki took over these skills even if they were ranked up, their power would be comparable to the A-rank as well.

Shit...... too bad. True/family summons and limit breaking......

The excitement bubbles up between the zowa and the spine.

With this power, now it's time to get the hound guy......!

At the same time, a calm heart in the corner of his head was complaining of fear.

This power is too strong. Beyond the boundaries of general skills. In particular, the ability to break limits deviates from the system of ranking cards.

If this skill turns out, wouldn't it cause trouble......

... Should I report this new skill to the Alliance?

The Alliance has a system where bonuses are paid when new skills are reported.

That was for advancing the study of cards, but it was also a system for guilds to protect the rapporteur.

If you report to the guild, you will be allowed to cooperate with some experiments, but instead it will protect you from a lot of trouble.

... if the guild itself doesn't turn to the enemy, we're talking about.

The Alliance is one of the country's institutions. There is no such thing as a beautiful country. If you have to, 'every me' could be seized.

Should I hide it or report it from myself......

"Um, what's going on? You got a problem?

You must have wondered about us talking on the link the whole time, that's what Anna's been asking.

... Let's just say this is all we have to think about.

"Oh, no, it's nothing.... Is that your party"

As I told Yuki, "I'll see you later," I looked back at Anna and the cards they had summoned.

Anna's card was a beautiful winged white horse...... pegasus. Probably ranked up a unicorn that has fought in previous games as well.

Pegasus was followed by a twist and a twist, and Anna was seen to have a preference for horseback riding.

Seeing these places often makes me realize that she's a clean lady, although she doesn't usually look that way.

To Elf's squire, Pegasus the White Horse. It was a really good looking party, perfect for the image of Anna, the presidential lady and half beautiful girl.

of the weave, on the other hand. That is......

"Ugh... whenever I see it, it's creepy. No"

"Don't call me creepy! Tutsi is strong, kind, smart, and loyal!

Anna, caught in my gaze and saw the woven caller, gave herself goosebumps and trembled all over her body.

A weave that protests against her with blues. I feel a little out of my mind.

... but I'm sorry about the weave, but I had to say that her card is a bit... creepy too.

Eight unusually thin and long legs against a rounded and enlarged torso. Tiger patterned fiber hair that grows all over your body. On its back is a huge, creepy old woman's face.

earthspider. That was the name of the cards invoked by the weave.

"Master, don't worry about it. I don't care about the late...... '

"Tucci......"

Earthspiders smiling with a nickel, taking Anna's word for it. Woven looking worried about her like that.

I just couldn't say that the heartwarming exchange between the card and the master......

Bees tears in Anna's face when she sees that sight scarier than a lousy horror or something.

"Woo... nausea..."

"Hey! That's just rude!

To Anna, who suppresses her mouth, now it's time for a beautiful weave.

"Just, sort of, calm down. Anna... it's a violation of manners to make fun of people's cards or make them sick."

"Ugh... sorry, sss. With…"

I was more than Anna in the mood, but I did forgive them.

In fact, the act of ridiculing other adventurers' cards in the labyrinth was said to be a serious violation of manners.

The repeated acts of provocation were at a level that received strict attention from the Alliance, as they sometimes developed into dueling shacks using cards.

... Nonetheless, a few female adventurers did not physiologically accept monsters of creepy visuals like earthspiders.

There were voices saying that if not making fun of someone else's cards is also manners, it is also manners not to use cards that others find offensive.

"Phew... that's what seniors know very well. I was just using the gooler."

With Anna honestly bowing her head, the weave that seems to have lowered her drinks somehow turns a favorable eye on me.

... apparently the fact that I was using a gooler gives me a glance at her.

Is it because it is a card that will be repulsed enough for the world to be a gooler as well?

"Personally, I wanted that gooler to walk through the genealogy of the undead queen such as Hell from Kyonsey and Huangquan Tsu Dajin, but well I can't help it because the prize of the tournament was a vampire. Vampires are cool, too."

"Ahhh, woven is like that...... you like horror systems?

"Mmm... well, yeah"

When I asked him that, Weave realized he was suddenly starting to talk hot, dyed his cheeks and shut up.

"I love horror movies and stuff at night. Cards are just like undead and stuff."

"Co, cola! Don't take it personally!

"Isn't that nice, sss? Instead of us, who don't like horror movies, invite seniors to watch them next time. No, seriously. Really."

"Kuck, you worthless friend!

A weave that makes a bad habit of Anna saying it in a genuine tone for the sake of how much she has been attached to horror movies that she doesn't like so much.

I said while I laughed at her like that.

"I like horror movies a lot too, so I'll go see them next time."

"Huh... ahh... If the seniors say so..."

"Tundre."

I'm shy about that kind of weave, and Anna snaps at me like I'm stunned.

Well, it's time...

"For now, let's talk about it later... time to go"

When I said that, they squeezed their faces and nodded.

That's a two-star, three-star adventurer. Fast switching.

Watching them ride their cards. I tried to ride Yuki, as usual, too, and stopped.

... Now Yuki looks like a beautiful girl. Getting it to be a werewolf form doesn't change that it's the same bipedal as a human.

No way. It wasn't suitable for riding.

I don't have a choice, let the dragonet out.

"Come! Dragonette"

A small dragon appears on my call.

The dragonette that appeared has greeted him with the same hazy voice.

"You seem safe and above all, Master!

"Oh, the dragonet was bad too, just like that"

From this little dragon, I apologized so much that I would have some thoughts because I'm dying as soon as I'm one of them...

"No! I'm sorry I couldn't help myself!

On the contrary, they lowered their heads.

Is this also the effect of selfishness? It would be helpful from the master side to suppress personal feelings and serve them thoroughly, but I was a little scared of the explosion for that matter.

It is a dragon clan that is said to have a high pride, even though it is particularly small. It would also be more stressful than other monsters.

Perhaps we should have paid more attention than Lianhua or Meir or something that was easy to understand in a way.

"... Well, I'm just sorry, can I have a ride?

"Ha, roger that!

Based on the last reflection, attach the simple saddle that was prepared for the dragonette and cross it over. When Yuki got behind me like that, I got a sweet smell that wasn't where Coosie was. And the soft feeling...

"? What's wrong, Master?

"Yes, no, nothing"

Shake your head and look back at Anna and the others.

"In the meantime, do you want to explore it sequentially from the top? Where the victim went, it wasn't on the quest, was it?

"... no, you can do that if you're looking for a normal missing person, but this is a case involving a houndsman. If..."

"It's likely they let him get away from the bottom floor to the top...... that's ssssss. Let's explore it from the bottom level in order."

I snorted and drove the dragonette towards the bottom.
