Neta Chara

Episode 42: First Hunt

Walking about two hours north on foot from Avisvena, he arrived at the hunting grounds of his choice. The Indra plain was just a vast meadow, with wind blowing across and soft green grass shaking without sound to go with it.

Arriving, I stretched out big, smoked the smell of grass all over my chest, and tasted the openness that hadn't been out in a long time.

"Seriously, that's huge. This is the Indra Plains."

The instructor who heard me whine will supplement me.

"Precisely near the entrance to the plain. The Indra Plains themselves are wider."

"Really... is this still near the entrance"

In front of him, a horizon that borders the ground and the sky glances at his face.

I guess it's wider than I imagined.

While I was stunned by the size of the Indra Plains, the other faces were re-inspecting their gear.

"Mr. Kent, don't you want to inspect your gear? Everybody does."

When I turn back to Feria, I often think about what she looks like.

Because Feria is equipped with leather breastplates, gloves, boots and other protective equipment on top of the frilly maid clothes of the Black Dagger family. Besides, he even equips himself with a frilly catchusha on the head.

Plus, if you're equipped with an iron sword and round shield that sits on your hips, you can totally make a maid warrior...

I convinced Feria many times to change from maid clothes to claus armor (under fabric armor) before she left, but Feria said, 'I have to work hard as a maid of the Black Dagger family!' I said it and refused resolutely to change, so I had only thick tights on so that I couldn't help but look at my pants.

This behavior of Feria is presumably the result of Mr. Susie's sermon, but the person who preached it was also a frightened face.

"Hey, I ask you again, do you really fight in that outfit?

Felia looked decent but said it off as a matter of course.

"Isn't that obvious? Better check your gear properly, Mr. Kent."

"Yes. I'll do it now."

Having reached the point of giving up Feria's immediate response, I decided to re-inspect my gear. This time, the equipment lent to me by the Hunter Guild is a five-piece set of iron swords, round shields, leather armor, leather gloves, leather boots and leather helms.

I take care of it, but not all the equipment is brand new, so the smell of sweat and blood was stained.

I gathered at the instructor's when I finished re-inspecting my gear.

"All right, we're all done inspecting, then we'll find the Horn Rabbit to crusade. They move in the herd. Don't stay too far from your side. Be sure to fight the demons with two or more of us."

The instructor cautioned us and our hunt began.

For a while, as we all walked through the meadows, the instructor found the tall grass ahead unnaturally swaying.

"Hey, there he is. Stop."

The instructor signals me to stop by hand.

"You're a guy off the herd, Kent, can we go Feria?

"" Yes ""

Me and Feria are nominated to approach the grass. Then a shadow flew from the grass about a large dog.

In front of me, the shadow that popped up was a horn rabbit. I heard I was a rabbit, so I thought it was about as big as the rabbit I had in elementary school, but the creature in front of me was different.

The shape remains the same as the rabbit, but it was about the size of a large dog's golden retriever. And the head has about thirty centimetres of horns with sharp tips.

"So, come on! Instructor, you didn't hear this!

"Mr. Kent, I'm coming!

He jumped at me with a horn poking at me.

Gun!

Flush the horn of a hare (horn rabbit) with the shield that was in your hand. It had a pretty powerful impact, so I feel like I can't spare a major injury if it's bad where that sharp corner hits. I rebuilt my shield and pulled out my hips sword.

The red, shining eyes of a horn rabbit captured me.

"Huh!

Feria's poked sword next door captured the front leg of the hare (horn rabbit) but only gave it a shallow hand.

A horn rabbit's eye pours into Feria, who has wounded herself.

"Feria! They're after us."

As I drew attention, a corner rabbit (horn rabbit) jumped towards the ferrier.

As Feria twisted her horn, she threw an iron sword into the flank of a corner rabbit (horn rabbit).

A corner rabbit (Horn Rabbit), attacked and swept into Feria, lays down screaming. Feria pulls out her sword and distance herself again.

"Mr. Kent, you hit it!

Black particulate light, not blood, leaked from the flank of the wounded hare (horn rabbit).

"Kent, let me do the todome!

An instructor flies. I shook my sword down against the neck of a corner rabbit (horn rabbit) lying on the grass.

Zash.

Through the sword you wave down, you convey the feeling that the life activity of a corner rabbit (horn rabbit) is lost.

My sword was leaking the same black particulate light from my decapitated neck as my flank. And when the light in the eye of a corner rabbit (horn rabbit) could be lost, the whole body was wrapped in black particulate light and its large body could disappear.

What was left over the meadows were the characteristic horns and the smaller long-eared ravens.

"Phew, a bit unexpectedly big and in a hurry, but you managed to take him down. You're not bleeding."

"Mr. Kent, it's cool."

Feria praises me, but thinks Feria has defeated me by more than 90%.

"I just stabbed Todome, so this is Feria's."

I gave the horn and the long ear rabbit to Feria.

"Uh, but Mr. Kent stabbed Todome."

I questioned the instructor when I pressed a horn and a long ear rabbit on Faria, who was refusing to receive it.

"Instructor, the corner rabbit (horn rabbit) didn't bleed, but the silver roach Silvermantis was bleeding fluid, what's the difference?

The instructor gives me a glimpse of my question.

"Kent, you, silver roachesWhat do you know about Silvermantis!

"Yes, they nearly killed me. Without Millie, I think they would have eaten me."

The instructor looks like he's convinced.

"I'm glad Migliaria helped you. The answer to your question is the difference between" Monster "and" Anarchist Monster. "

"" Demons "and" Alien Creatures "?"

"First of all," Monster, "but just to be brief, this is the magic element present in the Grimoire, which, when it continues to accumulate in animals and grass trees and exceeds a certain amount, becomes ferocious and gigantic and becomes" Monster. "

Everyone came together for a faculty course that started with my questions. Asura youth throws questions to instructors.

"I mean, you say 'Magic Vegetables' is generating 'Demons (Monsters)'?

"Mmm, I'm pretty much sure what Aurelia said, but I'll answer Kent's question first. Why doesn't" Monster "bleed?" Monster "embodies the body by magic, in fact, if Feria poked her flank earlier, black particulate light would have leaked out of the wound, that's" magic. "That's why Demon (Monster) doesn't bleed because it just wraps' magic vegetables' around the body. And when you run out of accumulated" magic vegetables, "only the body and the material will remain."

So the horn rabbit (horn rabbit) ran out of 'magic' in my todome blow, leaving behind the long ear rabbit and the material, the horn, and disappeared?

"Now, before we go to the Explanation of Alien Creatures, let's also answer the Aurelia Question. The black particulate light 'magic' usually blends into the atmosphere, and I see very little concentrated 'magic' as visible, with only one exception. It is a 'magic vegetable' that is expelled after exercising witchcraft. There are no more condensed" magic vegetables "for elementary or intermediate sorcery levels, but when large-scale sorcery is used, a different condensed" magic vegetable "is released, resulting in a jump in the incidence of" demons "in the area."

"So, is magic generating 'demons (monsters)'?

Aurelia asks the instructor a question.

"I just can't say it's all because of magic. It also occurs naturally. So in the Hunter Guild, the use of large-scale magic outside of 'hunting grounds' is a rare occurrence. If you find out, there will be punishment, as you will remember."

This is the first time I've ever known that there was regulation in witchcraft. Lina's guy is using Pokopoko magic, but I need to make sure there's no black particulate light next time.

When 'magic vegetables' accumulate in the house and a big oilworm (cockroach) demon or something comes out, I can't even see it.

"Secondly, the 'Anarchist Monster' is a unique problem for Avisvena. For whatever reason, there is the Gate of the Universe. An organism that emerges from a fissure (crack) that occurs in the gate or suddenly is an Anarchist Monster. They don't absorb and materialize 'magic vegetables', but they shed blood and fluids because they have flesh as an organism. And some of the most obnoxious creatures are called Warcraft (Beast Monsters).

The instructor talked about the third classification, "Warcraft (Beast Monster)."

"This Beast is a very powerful individual. Anyway, the demon (monster) is a vicious individual born from the infusion of the magic vegetable into the" Alien Creature (Anazer Monster) "of the plain body. When this is discovered, it will be crusaded with the highest priority. Well, think of it as that dangerous creature. Longer, but it would have been the answer to Kent's question."

"Yes, I learned so much"

The newcomers, including me, were listening seriously to the instructor.

"So what if we keep hunting?"

At the instruction of the instructor, we restarted our hunt.

Afterwards, we hit a few small herds, but no one was injured because we could always fight two to one against the demons, but only fourteen of them all in half to the norm half of all seven, the horns were gathered.

"All right, you can take a break or you can take your own rest."

"Huh. I'm tired. I don't really have a rabbit."

Feria is sitting back on the grass drinking water from a water bag.

I was relieved to keep my tights on because I saw Feria's butt flicker a few times during the fight.

When Feria's raw ass flies in front of her during the fight, her gaze is going that way and she's going to eat an unexpected punch.

If I thought of it as something like that, I was called from behind.

Lord Kent.

Turning around, it was Aurelia.

"Is it true that you are Lord Black Dagger's fiancé?

"Yeah, yeah, but what did you do with that?

Aurelia grabs my shoulder with both hands and leans over.

"Wouldn't you be willing to hire me as your exclusive escort"

"Heh? Am I using you as my escort?

Aurelia sells to me with a desperate face.

"Actually, I'm embarrassed to say that I've fallen into the Guard officer exam and my stay is going to run out of money. That's where I want you to buy my sword arm. Warriors are LV1, but swordsmen have LV10. You'll have more arms than the maid sitting over there."

Aurelia was pointing to Feria. It seems that Feria, who was told, has objected to it.

"The Black Daggers don't need an escort - they have Miriam, the strongest escort."

"But you're not here right now. You seem to be accompanying a useless maid to a request (quest)."

Aurelia comes in calmly.

"Feria's not useless. Shh! It's a maid standing with a Hunter Guild sign on her back."

"So why don't we do this? You can compete with me and that maid for the number of prey and hire me as an escort if I have more, slave if I have less. How about it, Lord Kent?"

"That's..."

I thought the battle was a pretty cunning proposition, it's hard to think about losing even if the opponent is set on the ferrier and thinks about the level difference, if he wins, he can be an escort, and in case he loses, he can get the Black Daggers to guarantee him food and shelter as a slave.

For Aurelia, who is short of money, she said it was a suggestion she would love to receive. But I'm going to say no.

Because she's a woman, now she looks like a man with hallucinating glasses, but when it comes to being close and escorting, she's more likely to be a career in my [handsome] skills.

Feria opened her mouth the moment I tried to turn down Aurelia's proposal.

"I'll take that suggestion and stand, Mr. Kent. Of course you will! I will definitely win and make Aurelia cry like a slave."

Hi, my maid warrior seems to be jerking off. But it's Feria. Just think about it. Win or lose, you have to take Aurelia home to the Black Daggers, and that way I'm sure you'll get a sermon from Annabella and Millie.

And I have to take that sermon with me.

I figured out a way to avoid that future. If you lied that I didn't have the authority to make HR decisions, and introduced you to other job openings with Millie's handout, Aurelia would be convinced too. That's what I suggested to Aurelia.

"I'm sorry, but I can't take Aurelia's suggestion. I'm just Millie's fiancé, so I don't have the authority to make HR decisions. But if you show me your skill, I think you'll be able to introduce me to other nobles through Millie."

"Uh, Mr. Kent, let's take it. - Okay, I'll do it.

Feria does the sword-wielding trick with a shadow. My chest was about to spill out of my chest.

Apparently, our demon milk maid warrior's jerk temper was at its peak.

"Well, I can't help competing for prey with my weak enemies either, so if you can look at my skill and see Lord Black Dagger through it, fine."

Aurelia looked satisfied with Millie's opportunity to get acquainted

"Mmm, too bad -"

Feria is swelling her cheeks.

"Whoa! The chatter is over. Big herds are approaching. Everybody, get ready!

A sharp warning voice flew from the instructor. The grass ahead has an unnatural way of shaking extensively. We were taking a break, all of us stood up and set up our weapons.

A horn rabbit (horn rabbit) jumped out of the grass.

Lord Kent, will you look at my skill?

Run toward the horn rabbit that Aurelia flied out. And when he jumped into his nostalgia at once, he pierced the throat of a corner rabbit (horn rabbit) with a spike that stunned me and exorcised him with one blow.

A blow, I'm sure. It hurt a lot.

More and more rabbits (horn rabbits) appeared while Aurelia was taking one down. There are about five or six of them just visible, and there are signs that they still seem to be in the grass behind them.

Trainees other than Aurelia fought in pairs against the Horn Rabbit.

"Mr. Kent, I'm coming from behind -"

Focusing on the previous enemy, I noticed a horn rabbit (horn rabbit) jumping out of the grass behind me with Feria's warning.

"I'm sorry, Feria, can I take care of my back?"

To defeat the previous enemy, I wanted to break the two-on-one rule and leave it to Feria to trust my back.

"Yes! Because Mr. Kent's back will be perfectly protected by Feria"

"Thanks, I'll take care of it"

When I heard Feria's reply, I set a target for the forward corner rabbit (horn rabbit).

The Horn Rabbit was cluttered, as he could not decide who to attack.

It's a blow to decide!

I approached the corner rabbit (horn rabbit) that was clumping, and threw the iron sword in my hand towards the throat of the corner rabbit (horn rabbit) and thrust a blow with the force of foot tread and the force of arm protrusion.

The tip of the sword pierced the throat of a brilliant corner rabbit (horn rabbit), releasing massive amounts of 'magic vegetables' and the giant disappeared. But one new head appeared again.

"Chi, how many heads are there?"

When I hit my tongue, I confront the newly popped horn rabbit.

Even after that, Don and the new Horn Rabbit (Horn Rabbit) appeared from the grass, and the instructors who had accompanied them with escorts along the way were also involved in the battle, and Feria and Aurelia were hunting for quite a few Horn Rabbits. I didn't remember how many heads I took down after the fifth one myself.

There were some minor injuries in the riots, but they were all not a lot of wounds, and the battle went on because there was no obstruction to the battle.

At the end of Horn Rabbit's Fever Time, when I gathered the material, there were fifty and six horns. In other words, you will have defeated 56 heads.

It's an eight-person party, so I'd have hunted seven heads a head, but maybe Aurelia's hunting more.

"I don't know who hunted in the brawl, so I'm gonna head this off, and by the way, let's do my share to Aurelia, 'cause she was making the best move."

There was no objection to the headache from the instructor, and the primitive long-eared rays were also treated with blood drainage and dispensed to each other.

"Now we're all beyond the norm. Shall we go home?"

Since the instructor had offered to return, I was feeling tired and decided to get on with the proposal.

"Yes, should we go home? No, I'm tired."

He said the other members thought the same thing about me, and our hunt was over.
