Two Stories [Volvo Volcano]
"- Is that a scorching tiger fang?
My gaze floated across the universe so that my eyes would think about this question.
The current location is the Adventurer's Guild of Melbail.
The person in front of you is the receptionist, Mr. Siena.
The way he ponytails his light brown hair and wears it in clear clothing is arguably motivating the adventurer who gets the request (including me).
Well, why did I get to the guild?
That's nothing more than to prepare what Mr. Zig asked for.
Even a blacksmith item called the Flame Snake (Flame Naga) firebag did not make sense to Phosphorous Dragon Crystal.
However, more firepower is needed, so the item asked for is the fangs of a scorching hot tiger (Agnitieger).
A scorching hot tiger (Agnitieger) is a fiery demon that is believed to live in a volcanic mouth, lava cave, etc. Because it is a demon with a low encounter rate, it seems that obtaining fangs is also difficult and the price is naturally higher.
Moreover, most blacksmith jobs are sufficient for flame snake (Flame Naga) firebags, and blacksmiths do not often use scorched hot tiger (Agnitieger) fangs, so they are not placed in the workshop.
They say it's used partly in refineries that melt large amounts of metal, or in demand for offensive items, weapon development, etc.
"There should indeed be a chamber of commerce where if you get the fangs of a scorching tiger (Agnitieger), you buy it... does Mr. Sage need it himself?
"Oh, yes."
With a slight thought, Siena adds her fingers to her own seemingly soft cherry blossom lips.
"If that's the case, why don't you take a trip to the market once? If you are going to crusade a scorching hot tiger (Agnitieger), the rank is B + … which is equivalent to rank A for some individuals. I'm also aware that Mr. Sage is a brilliant adventurer, but given the current situation, which is rank C, it seems a lot more dangerous."
Mr. Siena has a good point. If you are going to take a request as an adventurer, you cannot take a request more than your rank.
Even if it did not follow the format of accepting requests, it would not recommend cheaply dangerous imitations. Even if she knew the fact that I had single-handedly destroyed a Blood Auga worth Rank B.
"I've already been to the market. Then they told me everything was out of stock."
Merbail is a commercial city with a variety of supplies. I also thought it would be ant to buy it if I could get it without having to crusade myself.
"Really...... eh, do you need it in a hurry?
"Hopefully."
It's personal to want to hear the sound of a new sword as soon as possible.
"You're in trouble..."
Mr. Siena is an angel and an angel who takes matters seriously that are troubling her.
"Ugh! I don't have much time. Is there any place in this neighborhood where a tiger lives?
Ray, who had cut the paralysis and interrupted the conversation, was holding back.
Having been given a store number by Mr. Zig and pulled around the market without time off, is she in a diagonal mood or something?
Which one is it? and after only a light introduction to Siena as Kyoton, Ray goes on to say the words.
"The eagle is not an adventurer, but this guy can't be rank C or anything. So the Alliance's eyes are a pit saver?
"Mr. Sage has only been an adventurer for a few months. I feel the speed of ranking up is unusual enough......?
"Stop joking. You can't have all this stuff done in just a few months."
A monster... Aren't you saying too much? I'm gonna cry.
"We're only talking about when you signed up for the guild. I don't know what kind of training Sage had before that, and I don't think he needs to be questioned."
Receptionist who does not break his fortitude.
I guess it's not a good idea for you to easily intervene in someone else's past.
It doesn't seem funny, and Ray, with a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows, looks back here.
"What do you want to do? You need fangs, don't you?
I really want it. Ray's right.
But...
"... Mr. Siena's words take precedence over everything"
- I was stomped on my heels. The bones on the back of my legs are going to crush. Super painful.
"Well, calm down. In the meantime, let me know where the scorching tiger (Agnity Gar) is likely to appear. Wouldn't you like to go?
Ren, who broke in to arbitrate the place, puts his index finger up and suggests.
"I have advised you that it is dangerous"
"There are three of us, and we can get away with it when it's dangerous. You're not likely to run into him in the first place, are you? To the extent that I'm going to see how it goes."
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
If you're surrounded by more than one, you feel a little bit in danger, but it's hard to imagine how many rare demons there are.
Mr. Siena, who was often reticent, retrieved the map with slow movements such as shabu.
"… in this neighborhood, we have information that we have witnessed in Volvo Volcano"
A thin, beautiful finger slowly looks at the map and stops perfectly.
Going south of Melbail, they say there's a smaller active volcano about west of the street. I haven't had an eruption or anything in the last few decades, but when I go inside from the rift at the foot, there's a lava sinus going on, and there's still liquid lava swirling in the back?
Judging from the scale of the map, if you borrow the leg of the horseman... it won't take half a day.
but I'm just tired because I haven't moved since I got to the city today.
I want to decide to act tomorrow.
"Thank you"
When you say thank you to Mr. Siena and then try to turn your heels back,
"Hey. Sister, you are so beautiful ~. I wonder if you can also feel kindness in considering the safety of adventurers. Ouilla, I don't think I've ever met such a wonderful woman."
Oh, my God, isn't Ren's one throwing up a dialogue that's going to float his teeth without a coward?
"Well, here we go... You always say be careful with that light mouth"
Try to embarrass my brother, Ray is sighing.
"If you don't mind, we can have dinner together after work at the reception - Dukanah!?"
- Damn, what the hell were Ren's brother and they teaching his brother? Kalang.
His legs were spread out to firmly anchor his body to the ground, optimal conditions for the rotational force of his hips to pass to his upper body, and his fists were screwed into his lateral abdomen.
"Se, Se... what, what...?
Ren falls down whining about the nickname she gave me, shivering her body with a bikun bikun.
I lowered my hips and whispered softly in my ear so that they could only hear me.
"... if I hadn't done this, Len would have been killed by other adventurers (including me), wouldn't he?
"Heh, including... I was just going to kill you..."
With such a sight in front, Mr. Siena did not break any smile.
"I hope you're okay."
And he greeted me politely.
◆ ◆ ◆
- Reveal the night at the Full Oyaji Pavilion, August Two Weeks Dark Day.
Enjoying the superb cuisine made by Nostalgia Inn pavilion owner Dario, we can say that we were satisfied physically and mentally.
The dishes made by bald-headed, stiff bearded gentlemen are rife with sophisticated procedures.
When I checked Dario's possession skills a while back, it grew to "Cuisine LV3 (149/150)". I would definitely like to enjoy the taste when I reach LV4.
Period of stay...... maybe I should extend it.
- That's how he left the inn after, arranging all the horsebacks for the twins to ride at the Beast Shop before leaving Melbail.
This time it would be nice to spend as much money on it as it would on my own.
As Mr. Siena taught me, he arrived at Volvo Volcano and Yamato less than half a day after continuing to run on a horseback.
Although small volcanoes, they are powerful when seen up close.
"Uh... he said there was a rift at the foot that would be the entrance..."
"Isn't that it?
When Ray gazed at those he pointed out, he saw a crack in his mountain skin that seemed to be continuing inside.
My horseman - the Scaled Dragon Luke - decided to keep the borrowed horseman that the twins rode outside, even if they took him inside with them. Not necessarily if you don't run into dangerous eyes.
"Oyla, my stomach is hurting. Shall we keep an eye on the horseman here?
Ignore Ren's words, three and one go inside.
The interior of a wide range of lava sinuses is dim, lighting the pine lights purchased in the city to illuminate the dark sinuses red.
Or... hot.
Even though there are no signs of eruption, is it also natural that temperatures jump at once because there seems to be exposed lava left in the back?
Lightweight Ray would still be fine, but me and Ren are getting a little sweaty on the forehead.
After marking several branches and walking down the road for a while, the surrounding rocks and the like became reddish.
Turning off the lights of the pine lights has no difficulty in sight at all, as rocks that hold high heat are a substitute for lighting.
However, the lava sinus, where only the heartbeat of the earth pulsed quietly, made me feel strangely meticulous.
"Something... can't you hear me?
Ren puts his hand on his ear and squeals.
Kiki, it looks like the squeal is approaching us.
"Be careful."
It was the little one with his body in flames that showed up with the feathers from the back...... bats?
There is nowhere to be caught because of the flickering flames floating through the air.
I checked with the Bandit's Eye (Liot Eyes) and it came out - "La Vat".
It is a kind of demon that has Lava Cave as its root castle. It's a little far in distance, like attacking with a sword.
"Get out of my way! Hot and bitter."
You were frustrated by the heat, Ray, who was next door, grabbed the blade whip that was on your hips and flashed.
"Gah."
"Pi."
"Gi."
In an instant, three larvats scattered flames and bounced off. The stretched whip echoes a metal sound with the kakakan and returns to its original shape.
... Oops. Don't do it.
Let's just say I'm late because of the heat.
I don't know what I'm into. Is that what happens when you get hard training to die from childhood?
Again, let's consider the twins' abilities.
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
Name: Ray Shao
Race: Human
Age: 18
Occupation: Traveler
SPECIAL: Bicardial resonance (dual blast)
Skills
- Whiplash LV2 (38/50)
-Throwing LV2 (15/50)
- Water Magic LV2 (21/50)
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
I am good at whipping and can handle water magic. I also bought a knife for throwing, so my possession skills can be considered to be in full use.
Of note is the special Bicardial Resonance (Dual Blast), which is -
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
Name: Len Shao
Race: Human
Age: 18
Occupation: Traveler
SPECIAL: Bicardial resonance (dual blast)
Skills
- Swordsmanship LV2 (37/50)
- Body surgery LV2 (16/50)
-Fire Magic LV2 (21/50)
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
As you can see, my brother Ren possesses a similar special.
"Bicardial Resonance (Dual Blast)" - Possession skills are shared due to the intimacy of the twins.
This means that if Ray and Len are intimate, you can assume that the skills they possess with each other will be shared.
A human being but one person possesses all three skills, and by being further shared, all six will possess skills.
Wouldn't the potential be great?
However, the high parental density of the twins leaves no doubt.
"- Is there really a tiger here?
Interrupt your thoughts on Ray's question and turn back.
"A scorching tiger. This is the information Mr. Siena gave me... let's go a little further back"
"No, no, no, no. Sai...... Ouilla, I can't do this anymore. Take it off. Take it off?
"Take it off. If you can fight with 0 defense. I'll attack first, by the way."
"You guys, don't say anything stupid first -"
Ray raised his voice to embarrass the two men, suddenly clogging the words.
I wonder what it is, and I look ahead of the gaze she points at - something.
When I gazed, the flame-wrapped four-legged creature looked this way. I'm moving in with Toto to get closer to this one.
Like Larvat, the outer edge of the body is covered in flames and uncertain, but the swinging flames form tails and ears, with a beautiful curve of symmetrical left and right beards beneath pale, glowing longitudinal eyes.
- "Flame Cat"
Demons with adorable cat looks don't try to strike this one with wonder.
I thought I was staring at this one, and it looks deliciously licking the liquid lava dripping from the bright red baked rock.
Where did the word 'cat tongue' go?
I'll check my status for once, even though I have feelings about things like that that don't matter.
The skill you possess is Fire Magic LV1 (8/10).
Luke or Kroko...... well, aside from doing it or not, that's a skill that seems to help strengthen Ren as well.
... Do you want me to take it?
But there was someone running faster than me walking over to Flamecat - Ray.
"Ma -"
Expel them because they are demons. I'm not going to blame you for that.
But he said he gave me a minute...
Thinking, how dare she slip by the flame cat without a weapon in her hand.
"... Huh?
"Or cute"
... What, you say?
"What's this, cute ~ ~"
Ray leaked such a voice at the appearance of a cat licking the lava with no hostility toward this one.
I just kind of fall in love with her when her usual expression is anger when it comes to joy and sorrow, and she also looks like this when she loves something.
"I mean, it's dangerous. I don't care how much they don't attack us, they're demons."
"Hey, I want to stroke you. Can I stroke you?
Even if the boss asks me here, I have trouble answering.
Flamecat's body is in flames.
"No, I usually get burns."
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
"What are you doing?!?"
Listen to people!
Whatever you think, you're gonna burn!!
"Ugh... just a little more, just a little more"
Ray, who treated his hands burned by high fever with his own water magic, is about to touch Flame Cat again with no punishment.
... Ah, that's this kid. Hey, are you nuts?
Against me for giving up, Ren shrugged with a distant eye as he pounded his shoulder.
"Forgive him. Sister Ray...... I'm a cat pie"
So what!?
I don't think it's normal to imitate sticking your hands in the flames because you like cats!?
Then be nice to the cat beast man too!
And well, Ray seemed to indulge while I was putting in a scratch once and for all.
Beside treating his burnt hands, Flame Cat continues to lick the lava as if nothing had happened.
... My turn next.
Damn. It looks hot, but let's do it.
Reach out to the burning flame cat body.
"Hey, what are you going to do to Se?
Ignoring Ren's stop, I tried to grab Flame Cat's body before concentrating my consciousness.
You're slightly wary, or I feel the flames wrapped around your body have gained momentum.
Would this have seen the fire magic skill......?
Apart from the pain of juicy burnt hands, the fullness transmitted to the body.
"No over there..."
Looking straight away, the skin surface is red and swollen.
Though lightly burned...... I succeeded in taking my skills.
"Hmm...?
Flame Cat, who has lost her fire magic skills, strangely becomes smaller and smaller.
At the end of the day, the fire cat, shrunk to palm size, disappeared into the back of the cave with Toto.
"You... what did you do?
"No, I just stroked you normally, didn't I?
I didn't think I'd shrink if I took my skills. There are cases like this.
"Huh. Well, fine."
I don't know why, but for some reason Ray looks at this one with a slight grin.
"Why are you laughing?
"Nothing?... I just thought you were a cat guy too"
"Become - no!
I want to say it out loud.
Don't come with me.
You don't usually try to stroke a burning body just because how cute the cat is!?
... but I don't feel like being able to explain my actions well for any other reason.
If you argue that you put up with it because you had something to gain, it's like putting a snake on it.
Enough. Let's give up.
"Let me treat that burn."
"Fine. About this."
It's unusual for you to come up with a kind suggestion from over there. Has it also sprung up familiarity with those who have something in common: catholicism?
That said, even if you leave it alone with as many wounds as this, it will heal completely immediately with enhanced vitality. You don't have to bother using magic.
"Oh, yeah. If you like."
Back to the cold look with a bare gesture such as no particular interest, she really made me feel like she was the same person who loved Flame Cat earlier......
"-... ugh. Even so, it's hot"
As he opens up to the heat, takes a small pause on the spot and tilts the leather water bottle, Luke the Horseman hits the tip of his nose on this one's back with a ton of tongue.
"... wow"
"Like what? Luke."
There is a limited number of humans who travel to lava sinuses wrapped in such heat.
It would be a little too exciting to visit in a tourist mood. Therefore... I cannot be alarmed.
- 'Somebody's coming'...?
