”Hah... hah...”
I stare at scattered items and coins in a daze, exhaling a rough breath.
It was almost dangerous.
I've defeated monsters like this several times in my solo adventure.
Thirty layers of bosses, no matter how much stronger than the others. There was no reason I couldn't defeat the [45] level swordsman.
But... there was no prior information at first sight, and even more while protecting Yuri, it was quite tough.
I hold my sword and look back.
……
Yuri stood staring at the extinction of the Cyclops in a clenched position.
"Yuri... Yuri!"
"Eh, ah...... Mr. Alvin......"
Yuri lifted his face as if he were stunned.
”Ah, uh... drop, pick it up?”
"...... I'll pick it up." Yuri, please rest. "
No, I'll help you.
Split up with Yuri and collect the Cyclops drops.
When I finished picking it up and looking towards Yuri, she just seemed to have finished storing the items.
Fine-tuning the position of the quiver looks like nothing is happening at first glance.
"Yuri... are you okay?"
"Eh...? Yes, it's okay."
Yuri nodded with a crisp face.
"I fell, but I didn't get hurt." Ah, HP... you've lost quite a bit. Heehee
Saying that, Yuri let out a smile.
But he also seemed somewhat distracted.
"... me too. Do you have any potions?"
"Yes, there are plenty of them."
"Let's drink it while we still can."
That's right.
Having said that, Yuri took the potions out of the storage.
Looking sideways at the situation, I muttered in a small voice.
"You have it..."
It wasn't like I didn't have any potions.
Eventually, Yuri said that both of them would be finished recovering their HP to the maximum.
Well then, let's go, Mr. Alvin.
"... wait, are we going any further?" I think you should rest a little longer..... "
Why do you ask?
Yuri asked strangely with a gentle expression.
"As expected, isn't it too early to take a break?" It hasn't been long since I've been in that room. "
"But...."
”Instead of waiting for help, I decided to map and level up, so I thought I'd better move while I still have my strength.”
……
I saw Yuri's face.
Some adventurers panic when in crisis. I've seen a couple of adventurers running out like that.
However, Yuri didn't show any sign of it.
I think it's a little strange, but the answer is solid, and there's nothing strange about the behavior of picking up drops and using items.
Above all... it's a fact that we should move while we still have our strength.
"... All right, but if that's impossible, just tell me."
"It's okay."
We crossed the room and got on the transfer floor.
****
When the dim vision cleared up, it was a room where there was nothing strange about it.
"Phew..."
I unexpectedly exhale.
I wondered what to do if the boss came in a row.
"... perhaps the bamboo tubes will come out again." Even the monsters won't struggle as much as the middle bosses, but don't be alarmed. "
"Yes, I understand."
Walk toward the transfer bed located on the diagonal.
When it approached the center of the room, a glowing bamboo tube appeared.
"Come on, what's coming..."
At that time --- a thick five fingers caught on the edge of the bamboo tube.
The Lord of the Five Fingers reveals his appearance as he spreads the giant bamboo tubes further.
"...... this time it's Augur."
It seemed that it was a type of Auger monster that crawled out of the bamboo tube.
However, it is the first time to see the bright red skin and the waist cloth with yellow and black stripes. I don't know the name of the monster.
I'll hold the sword.
"Good. Yuri, just like before..."
An arrow flew over my head like a tear in the sky.
I looked back in amazement as I stood on Augur's head and saw it.
"Yuri! Not yet, what are you doing...!"
When I saw Yuri's face holding an arrow in silence... I was convinced that something was wrong with her.
Her eyes were wide open, her lips tied, and she pulled her bow with a face that looked like she was being cornered.
"Nh...!"
When I got lost, I slashed at Ogre.
We need to do some damage to this guy first.
"Yuri, stop! Yuri!!"
He shouted as he waved his sword.
However, the arrows didn't seem to stop.
With a sharp claw swinging down, and biting with a "parry" attack, the Augur eventually struck his knee with a bitter squeak.
At that moment, I immediately turned my heel and kicked the floor towards Yuri.
"Yuri!!"
And as she stood in front of the girl who pulled the bow ─ ─ ─ she spread her arms to stop the arrow.
Shock on the shoulder, and burning pain at the same time.
"Giggle...!"
"Ah, Mr. Alvin!?"
Yuri stiffened herself as if she were stubborn.
I take her right hand, wandering through the sky without reaching for the quiver.
My shoulder hurts more, but I ignore it now.
Let's get out of here!!
I pulled Yuri's hand and fled with all my might.
As expected of a scout, Yuri seemed to be following me with all his might, but confusion came from his hand.
Fortunately, Augur's AGI was low, and there was no sign of pursuing him from behind.
Eventually, my leg stepped on the transfer floor.
Your vision is fading.
