The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

The Homunculus technique was discovered in the labyrinth.

If it's a simple representation of homunculus, a doll that listens just like a human being, is the closest thing.

Homunculus is characterized by an easy to understand demonic stone inserted into the chest.

I can't tell you from a human if you're wearing clothes.

Well, it's faceless, I know.

Hold the homunculus and walk on the field, which is outside the city.

Avancia is just around the corner.

That's when the girl's nose moved with a tingle.

Eyes open. Stare at me.

I opened my eyes to my surprise.

That's odd. I've never had such an emotional homunculus.

Try to bust my chest, and she lands.

That's how I started preparing my magic.

- This is an obvious anomaly.

It is assumed that Homunculus will not be given combat capability.

That's because, in case Homunculus defies humans, troublesome things happen.

This homunculus is not normal.

Illegal homunculus?

If it's being studied in a neighboring country or something like that, I've heard it.

Is that right, this kid?

"Wow, what are you going to do with me? Do you want to dispose of it?"

"... disposal? No. I just..."

"I don't like it. I don't want to be dumped."

That's how women have unleashed their magic.

Fire birds looming.

I prevent it with a big shield.

Preventing it with a shield, a woman approached me immediately.

A dagger.

Preventing attacks with a large shield, but just tough to deal with a small, handy weapon opponent.

Push over the thoughtless woman's body and grab that wrist.

Throw away the big shield and push her body down.

Then, release your body immediately. Raise your hands and show that you are unwilling to fight.

"Calm down. I'm not gonna do anything about you."

"... what do you mean"

"You lost your mind, so I just let you protect me for now. If you want to go somewhere, you just go."

I carry back the big shield while paying off the dirt on my clothes.

"Please wait!"

My voice sounds.

She is holding hands on her chest.

Those eyes are shaking anxiously.

"I... don't know what to do."

"Don't know?"

"Yes. I am Homunculus....... I have been ordered to live so far. So I don't know what to do."

"... why was White Tiger chasing me?"

"I... have been discarded. However, I was lucky enough to survive... escape that abandonment site... and walk in the mountains and that demon attacked me. What should I do now?"

I just have to put my head on it.

There were times when I didn't know how to live.

Looking at Homunculus, he seemed to look at himself in the past.

... I wanted to help you.

"Then will you be an adventurer?"

"Huh?"

"You seem capable of fighting. Besides, it doesn't look like homunculus. If you hide the stone in your chest, you will live as a human being."

It's a good idea, isn't it?

Be satisfied with your thoughts.

"... Boo Kensha, is it?"

"Oh. It's about the guys who make a living by diving into the labyrinth or taking requests in the guild. If you're going to live in the region, you're not going to be questioned about your origins. You should be free to live."

And even so, it doesn't seem to be coming with a pin.

Maybe if I suck, I don't know the adventurer.

An adventurer... what? It's hard to explain that to someone who has no knowledge whatsoever.

"But I can only appraise people's abilities"

"… an appraisal of a person's abilities?"

"Yes, just to find out what skills that person possesses and how they work"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

I stop by surprise.

That's not... that's not an appraisal!

Appraisals are called SSR Skills, they're the best!

People in this world are born with skills.

Skills are rare and are divided into four parts: N, R, SR and SSR.

Appraisal skills are those of the highest rarity.

The effect is to get a perfect grasp of the skills of others.

SSR skills first discovered in our time...... but I hear the skill owner died about a year ago.

... Why does this child have appraisal skills?

Leave that alone for now, and I'll come up to her and put my hands together.

"Please, can you test my skills?"

"Okay."

"Yes, okay?"

"... because it was my job"

I didn't expect you to take that light.

Appraisals by appraisers have appointments years away, which, besides, cost huge sums of money.

We humans can be aware of our skills.

But I don't know how to use it. In a national library, you need to examine your skills against their names and past skills.

Because even the same skill name changes the effect somewhat from person to person.

I had two skills I didn't know how to use.

That, too, is both SSR skills.

The most important element to be certified as an SSR skill is rarity.

No matter how weak your abilities, if there is only one in the world, it becomes an SSR skill.

Of course, powerful skills like "Blessed Virgin" that Nin possesses are SSRs.

I had two skills that nobody in history had.

I just... didn't know how to use it or how it worked.

"To check your skills, you need to hold hands. May I?"

"Oh, oh."

It lights up a bit when you say it again.

If this was my sister, I might have had a laugh that was too happy and disgusting.

I'm glad it's someone else in red.

"There are four skills. 'Taunt', has the ability to draw the enemy's attention to the extreme"

"I know that. It's just extreme..."

This is an R skill.

Perhaps my abilities are better than other 'provocations'? Let's think positively.

"Next up is' Healthy Body '. It will stop abnormal conditions and make your body even more sturdy to the extreme."

"... I see. Sure, I've never been hit before."

This skill is also R. I think it's pretty convenient though.

"The next step is life conversion. You can convert the health damage you've eaten into strength."

... I take more damage than normal people.

Maybe this skill has something to do with it? I thought so, but didn't I?

However, was this an offensive skill?... I've never used it before.

"At the end of the day," The Shield of Sacrifice, "right? This is about replacing the damage of someone you thought you were one of. While you are covering your people, it looks like the strengthening of your people and your own sturdiness will be enhanced."

"... instead of someone else's shoulder damage?"

"Yes, was it a problem?"

"... no"

Does that mean that the Kiglas have been no damage until now because I was replacing them with my shoulders?

That bastard. 'I've never eaten an attack. Sometimes you said something about "it's all done"...

I'm the one who took it!

If the outer skin takes damage, there is some pain.

Before I realized it, my body's savings had hurt.

Wasn't that a muscle ache or something, replacing the damage the other fellows took on their shoulders?

Again, I think the tank was right for me to build.

Your health 9999 wasn't Dada, was it?

If you tell him this, he might be able to go back to the brave party.

... No, but you don't have to go back.

If I have this skill, I can gather some of my trusted associates for a labyrinth attack.

"Was this okay?"

"Oh, thanks. … has solved many years of doubts."

……

The woman looked at this one as surprised.

"What's going on?"

"No...... because it was the first time I had been thanked.... Glad to hear it"

Hands on his chest, and he hung up.

Sure, not many people say thank you to Homncrus.

"Anyway. That's what I was talking about... but I'll get back to it. How are you going to live? Until we find a way to live, I'll work with you. Thank you for earlier."

"... ok. Thank you."

"I'm Rude. Say hello."

"My name is Homunculus. Master, from now on, thank you. … I don't have a name"

"... right"

Few give homunculus a name.

For example, it is called by number or by model number.

But if you're going to live as a human, you need a name.

That's when I saw a petal on a woman's clothes.

It's a Renafia flower.

My sister loves flowers.

I still remember my sister picking this flower back then and giving it to me for my birthday. I was really happy with that one.

I still have it in my desk drawer.

"How about Luna?"

"Luna, is that it?"

"Oh."

"Luna... Luna... Yes. I'm going to live as Luna."

You laugh like a person.

I'm still not used to the homunculus I've seen before because it was more, like, faceless.

But he's cute and this one's more fun to deal with.

"What have you done, Master?"

"No...... or will you stop mastering me"

"No, I can't give this all away. The Master is the benefactor of my life. So let me treat you with respect."

... Some things are stubborn.

It doesn't sound like homunculus. But that's not a bad thing.

Going for Avancia, we walked away.
