The world's strongest hard worker

Episode 8 Crusade Request Completed

"... Phew, don't use your strength."

If you run this far at full speed, the boulder will catch your breath.

I ran for about twenty minutes and saw the forest.

Just over here is the village of Hellimia.

All right, let's use it.

Use Skywalk to walk high enough to cross the forest.

"Gunnu, it's so hard to walk."

I realize something for a few minutes whilst spilling my stupidity.

"... does this go well with wind magic?

You didn't have my talent? "Skywalk" won't be able to move satisfactorily.

Therefore, Skywalk is used as a means to float in space.

Instead of trying to walk by yourself, the wind moves with power.

I don't think this idea is bad in itself.

All I have to do is try.

Generate wind magic to push your back.

At first, I'll see what happens with the weak ones.

"Oh, oh!?

It moves quite well.

Fluffy feeling.

It seems more appropriate to say that we are flying than walking in the sky.

"Left and right are ─ ─ ─...... yeah, looks like it's okay."

I was able to move left and right by changing the orientation myself.

The amount of magic consumed in Skywalk is a little more than the amount of super healing, so I don't have to worry too much about it.

In essence, the magic decreases as much as you use wind magic.

This method of transportation may be quite usable in battle.

You've had an unexpected harvest.

Well, let's fly to the village of Helmia.

... I realized it wasn't a good idea to fly to Hellimia Village on a boulder.

I'm glad I got calm while I was flying.

After landing near the village of Hermia, he ran to the village of Hermia.

"No, what are you!

There was a guard in front of the village of Hellimia.

The guards who noticed me were alert and pointed the spear at us.

"I am an adventurer who has accepted the request to crush the Giant Slime."

That's why I gave the requisition to the guards.

"... yes, this is definitely what my village asked for.... but why are you here without a carriage!? That's a lot of distance!? It should take a day to walk!

"I ran without walking."

"... have you been running?... that distance?

That's right.

I was supposed to be somewhat surprised, but so far...

"... well, I don't think I'm a bad person, so are you okay? The village chief is in the back of the village, so we should probably be able to get there without getting lost."

"Thank you."

He lowered his head and headed for the village chief's house.

When I arrived, I greeted the village chief lightly and felt quite anxious.

"You're still a new adventurer, my lord!... are you sure you're okay?

"Giant slime is fine."

When I looked at Giant Slime in Wisdom, I didn't find much of a threat.

"Looks like it's good just for the strength... but it's good. Will you put your life first and work hard for me?

"Yes, of course."

Apparently the village chief was worried about me.

He's a nice guy.

Whether the village chief has a good personality or not, all the villagers also live with a smile.

Seeing the sight, I remembered my family a little.

"I have to go show him my face before I go to school."

He murmured and headed for the plains where the giant slime was.

On the plains, there were many giant slimes that moved.

It is an interesting sight that the plains are buried with large blue objects.

I'm sorry about five of these.

When I counted it, there were about fifteen of them.

Giant slimes are rarely hostile to people and are less vigilant.

However, it appears that they are afraid of unintentionally attacking the village of Helmia.

Giant slimes, like this one, appear to occur from time to time, and they are routinely asked to crush.

There are five requests, but I think we should take them all down.

"Five and fifteen are the same, and nothing's wrong."

The weakness of the giant slime is the nucleus in the center of the body.

If you attack it, you can easily defeat it.

However, Giant Slime's mucus only attacks with acidity, and many adventurers take damage.

With excellent magic resistance, attacks are limited to physical attacks.

... you can defeat them if you release powerful magic.

"Well, the point is, just attack the nucleus. Then the strategy is simple."

I have a sword and set my sights on the core of the giant slime.

And throw your sword as hard as you can.

When the thrown sword pierced the nucleus, the slime of the giant slime splashed and melted.

It's an appropriate strategy, but throwing and defeating objects may be the right answer.

Collect the Core Magic Stone and place it in the Item Box.

Show me this magic stone to prove the Giant Slime Crusade.

When I touched it and the remaining mucus, it seemed harmless to my body, so I put it in the Item Box.

Afterwards, repeat the same work.

When I finished knocking down my fifteenth body, I heard a message.

[Skill Throwing acquired]

... I was unintentionally acquiring skills.

He then returned to the village chief's house to report the completion of the assassination.

"It's pretty early. Was it tough on the boulder and the giant slime?

No, I've already crushed him.

"Nnnu!? It's not even ten minutes since the crusade!?

"Well, I think it was relatively easy to defeat an enemy with weaknesses. Um, this will be the magic stone at the demolition proof site."

Remove 15 Magic Stones from the Item Box.

"Master, where did you get it?! And you can't have five magic stones!?

"There were fifteen giant slimes, so we destroyed them all."

"Nah!? You killed 15 of them in such a short time!?

"That's right. Giant slime can easily be defeated by striking the nucleus."

"... Hmm. You don't even look like you're lying. However, it is also true that the contents are not realistic. Can we get the villagers to check for Giant Slime?

"Here you go. Ah, if there's a giant slime, I'll take them down."

"I'm so fat...."

The village chief then summoned a young man to the meadow.

After about ten minutes, the young man came home.

"Giant Slime, Nothing Found!

"Thank you for confirming.... it turns out that all your reports are correct."

"I'm glad Giant Slime is gone."

"You're so kind to caring about Giant Slime for this village. Look, this is the reward."

One piece of gold was given to the village chief.

My client had 5 giant slimes and 30 silver coins, so this reward is too much to think about.

"Um, this is a gold coin...?

"Because you defeated 15 instead of 5."

"Why not 90 silver coins?

"The difference of ten silver coins is an apology for doubting my gratitude."

Is it bad to say no here?

Besides, you're going to have to tell me.

I'll thank you for that.

"Thank you!

"Mm-hmm. I hope you'll be an adventurer."

That's what the village chief said with a wrinkled smile.

... the village of Hellimia.

Nice village.
