Episode 41: Killerby

It's good to have arrived in the city, but it's only after noon. I guess I'll even hunt till evening......

In the meantime, let's go to the guild and take a peek at the request.

"There's still time for the sun to go down, and let's face the guild and take it for a favor"

"Yes."

"Mmm."

I didn't know where it was, so I decided to ask a bunch of adventurous styles where the guild was.

Apparently, it's right around the corner. I only know two cities yet, but is it normal for them to be near the gate after all?

As soon as I arrived, I peeked at the bulletin board and I didn't have any requests that seemed particularly likely to make me money, but I took them first because I had a request for Snake, who defeated me in large quantities yesterday.

I asked Miriam, and as far as the bulletin boards were concerned, she said there were many requests from the mountains and the monsters around them.

I only hunt till dark, so I decided to take a request for a monster crusade in the mountains for now.

Killerby...... that's a great name for a bee's ass. Does it feel like a special blow? Or is it going to attack me in a group after all?

If it's the latter, it's going to be easier because it can be magically wiped out. You should avoid it if you want to use deadly poison or something.

"Miriam. What kind of monster is Killerby?

"Killerby mainly lives in the mountains. It is a monster that nests around uniqueness, the queen, and strikes in groups. The Queen is poisonous enough to kill humans instantly. The beas around them stab the needles simultaneously, but they're poisonous enough to paralyze the body."

"I see... you're going to fight where Bea attacked and made you mahi in a single blow by the Queen."

"Yes, it's a very scary monster that would be in great danger of being wiped out if not even a high-ranking magician at the party."

We'll probably be fine now. There must be enough instantaneous firepower to wipe out at once.

Griffon is lower ranked than a bee. Well, it must be just a big bird. Is there an element left? 50 silver one at a time for collection is very attractive.

"How do you collect elements? Where am I going, you're falling?

"Elements are a collection quest, but you get them when you defeat an Element-based monster"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be good to crusade, not collect it?

"Right, it's just that there are elements of all kinds of attributes, so they treat me like I can bring any of them. I think the earth element is in the mountains."

Is that what happened?

We need to set up an operation to fight the bees, but mountains, that sounds fun...... I'm not going to hunt that much, and do you want to go?

"Well, let's take a tour of the mountains."

"Yes."

"Mmm."

I don't go to the woods, so I take all my quests but the herbs, the hundreds of feet and the rats, and I leave the city.

There are several mountains around the city, so we decided to head for the least woody mountain, which seems to be the easiest to climb.

"There's really a lot of mountains around here. Is it a mine or something?

"Yes, they can take good quality iron ore... oh, that's the ground element"

"Guy like that mirror-like board?

"The mirror? I don't know because I've never seen it, but yes. It's that brown floating thing."

You've never seen a mirror? It's more shocking that way than the ground element. This could be a story. When I see that armor store, I'll make a suggestion about the mirror.

Leaving aside the money making story, is it vulnerable to water and wind because it is enough to say earth?

"Now, Miriam, with the highest magic, imagine a ball of water that's incredibly fast, and let it go to the element"

"Yes!"

It's a bumpy chant. I don't need chanting.

- Bashwoo!

- Bhavan!

No more, it's not the sound of water, is it? The water pressure looks terrible.

You know, there's a big fat hole in the center of Mr. Element. You don't seem to have anything to do with attributes.

"I did it!

"Yeah. Big deal."

Miriam is happy, so I'll keep the element recovered while I stroke her head. I really got the element.

"Shall we just blah blah blah blah blah blah? Oh, when Killerby comes out, I'll put up a barrier and wipe out all the fire magic at once."

"Okay!

"Mmm."

Miriam shines when magic can be used in action. The reply is good, and Miriam is cute after all.

Loving Farah like that, while observing Vibrant Miriam defeating the elements and griffons, Miriam stopped in front of a slightly opened square and looked at the ground.

"What's wrong, Miriam?

"You have iron ore around here. Retrieve it."

"Mmm."

There are a lot of rocks around Miriam. If you change the angle, some stones are reflecting the light of day. It does seem to contain metal.

Farah is collecting a bit appropriately, but if I were to take this to the guild, what conversion would I make?

There's no way in this world you can tell what's in it until you break it down. If it's quantity, crack it and it'll increase... weight? No, if you care, you lose.

Let's not think about it. Let's leave it to the professional guild staff.

"Elements and Griffons, it's time to get bored"

"I'm tired of it... it's supposed to be the same unique thing you knocked down the other day, right? Even though he's strong enough to knock him out at a full party!

"'Cause Miriam's gonna knock you down with a blow. That means Miriam has the strength for a full party by herself. Sausage. Cute and strong! I'm in love! I'm already in love."

"Don't tear it up! Even I... honestly, I'm confused. If Takashi weren't here, he'd be a monster that I can't defeat no matter how many times I die..."

"Thanks to Takashi"

I guess it's still because of the job and status. If you look at it from me, it's to the point where you can hunt crisps, but I guess it's not supposed to be.

I've never seen another party fight. Don't you understand?

Next time another party is in battle, let me give you a tour to study.

If I had thought about that, Farah would have slapped me in the arm.

"Takashi, Kitaka"

"Yeah? Pee?

"No. Bee."

"Huh?"

When Farah looked at the tip of his finger, a large number of basketball bees were approaching as he made a noise with "bububububububububu”.

There's one bee inside, about the size of a fala. Is that the queen? And it's big. That's disgusting.

Not if you think so. Bad, it's too sudden to be ready for anything.

"Put up a barrier! Miriam is a wall of fire to the left and right! Farah is a wall of fire behind and above! Let there be no gaps! Spread the word as much as you can!

"Yes!"

"Mmm!"

He put up a barrier as directed and built a wall of fire around me. Now you'll only be able to attack me from the front.

I want to hunt as many as I can anyway. Will the queen last?

Keep Job turned into a magician.

Appropriately pull them over until they are all within range and treat them with a few precise stone and fire synthetic magic.

And there's a lot of them. I heard it was a group, but is that so much?

If this happens, I can see that the full party will be wiped out.

"Mr. Takashi, how long should I put up a wall?

"I'll take care of the bee in front of you at once, so stick it up until then."

"Okay."

"Mmm."

Make sure everything is in range, and destroy the bee in front of you under the instructions of the flamethrower.

The queen was allowed to penetrate the fist great rock several times at high speed, making it a hive for her. Just bees.

... That's not funny. Cash level.

"Okay, you can disarm the wall. Let's deal with this later. Basics are like treating them with fire."

"Yes!"

"Mmm."

Recover the Bea you defeated while you two hunted the remnants.

Where the hell did all this stuff come from?

"These guys, they're from behind that square over there, aren't they? Is there a nest? Let's go."

"The nest sells high, so you definitely want to take it home"

"Yummy."

There's only one guy who thinks about something other than money, but, well, good. Let's keep it through because it's cute.

As I stroked Farah and headed toward the bee's arrival, there was a massive nest in the tree...... but that's uncomfortable. It's certainly a hive, no matter what.

The hive I know is one of dozens of bees, but this hive is about one turn bigger than those guys. Well, then, why don't you go inside?

"Uh, unlike the hive I know, do those guys have one nest at a time?

"No? This is all I know...... yes. There are larvae in the center, which are made of honey, and the outside are made of solid trees and leaves."

"Oh well...... Farah said it was delicious, and you like it, don't you? And Miriam?"

"Yummy."

"Honey does taste good, but I'm a little... scared"

You're going to collect this. There's like a big potato bug in there. I'm scared!

"Well, I'll be around with Miriam and I'll be on guard, Farrah, so you can retrieve them all."

"Hmm.... can I eat?

"Meh. I'll see you when I get home."

"Okay."

You saw an unexpected side of Farah. Do you like sweet things? Next time I'll make you some sweet treats I know.

During the recovery of the nest, he returned to a few nests but instantly killed them for him.

"If Bee is to this extent, it sounds like you can afford it around here. Is there somewhere else you can make some money?

"Hmmm... more than Killerby around here... you only have about a dungeon anymore"

"Oh, you just did. But I don't know when I can get out, and I'm still afraid to go in."

"I think Mr. Takashi would tread early"

"Why? Aren't you overestimating me?

"No, the dungeon goes inside in a few parties, and after everyone meets, they step together, but they defeat monsters like they crusade in a few parties by themselves. I wonder if it's easy to break through."

"I'm glad Miriam said that, but it's a corner party, and I knew it'd be powerful there, right?

"Of course!

"Mmm."

Careful Miriam says it's easy. I guess it's really easy.

I didn't mean to go in yet, but you have room for thought...

"Do you really think we can break through? You think I can get out of here right away?

"Right. I can take down Killerby, and even if it's not going to be easy because I've just done it, I was wondering if Mr. Takashi would be a few days."

"Me, I was thinking of going to the dungeon after all the party members, but if that's all I'm saying, why don't we go tomorrow?

"Are you starting tomorrow...... I'm sure you'll be fine, but if you're going, you need to get ready."

"If Miriam says it's okay, you're okay. All right, let's go tomorrow. For now, after we clear this place up. Can you tell me more about the dungeon later?

"Okay!

I didn't have anything to do in the second half, so I asked Miriam to look for iron ore, and I'll help collect the hive.

And by the time it was all recovered, it was evening.

"Time to go home"

"Right."

"Mm-hmm. Spots."

You can take a bath here, but there's no point in scratching sweat down the mountain after you take a bath. Let's go back near the entrance before we take a bath.

Needless to say, what are you looking forward to? You want honey.

No way, you're not a bee child...?

On his way home, Farah asks what treats he likes, and he goes down the mountain hunting a few griffons and elements while talking about food.

Collecting iron ore in between quickly brought me back to the mountain entrance.
