Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"... eh? Wasn't that the way I am now skeleton night opponents? Wasn't there?"

"You didn't. It's a mistake from" Dream. "

Haruka bassari truncated Toya, looking back with a pitiful look as she waved up her sword.

Toya, pity.

I'm pretty sure it's easy to kill but you don't have to... it's a little pathetic.

"Excuse me, Toya. 'Cause I already said it."

"... no, I don't need to apologize."

Honestly apologized to Natsuki, Toya blurts, and holds her sword.

But the response of the Hulkas is not wrong as a tactic, so I guess there's no choice.

Regardless of the training, it is only natural to minimize the risk of injury in action.

"There's no extra in the cave... you don't look like you're here. But this cave looks pretty big. Undead's Negijo, is it? I think I prefer the dark to the undead alone."

Hulka throws' Light 'into the cave and peeks into it.

The "Light" floats about 5 metres from the entrance, but within its light reach, a passage large enough to allow two adults to walk side by side leads to the back with a gentle curve.

"How is it? Considering he had a weapon, maybe he was a bandit's ego?

"For some reason the bandits were devastated and it went undead...?

"Is it possible, is it? But it's a pretty big band of bandits, isn't it? I don't know if this has anything to do with the undead I've killed, but there were about 60 of them here alone."

"If you add ghosts, they're 67."

Toya, who was counting the demonic stones she picked up by hand, reports the results.

Think of it all as a skeleton...... over 100 gold coins.

If only 'purification' could be used, it would be quite efficient, an undead exorcism.

I have to put up with the smell though.

"But if it's the Bandits, isn't it a little too far off the street? Even if it's excellent in terms of not being able to find it, in terms of work…"

I don't know the detailed geography of this neighborhood because it's not easy to see a map in this world, but it's the path that connects Rafan to Sarlstadt on the nearest street we know.

What about spending nearly half a day getting there as a place?

Or to this extent, not so far away?

It would be easy to find if you made an aside too close to the raid site, and there's not necessarily a place where you can make an aside in a convenient place.

Besides, if you're here, you can hide in the woods and travel near the streets, which in a way might be a good enough location.

"Is there anything else... a possible mercenary collapse, an irregular unit of the military, or something around it? These swords and shields, they're old, but they look good, don't they?

Toya, who was collecting Skeleton's dropped weapon, slaps the trick and one sword and says something like that.

As the word suggests, that sword is less rusty and looks quite a made sword in my eyes, not so familiar.

There were other similar swords rolling around, so I'll take a look in my hand.

The material is not normal iron. Speaking of low rust, is it white iron?

It seems like a pretty expensive sword because it costs about 10 times more than regular iron as of ingot......

- Oh?

"What kind of crest is this...?

If you look closely, there was some kind of writing at the root of the sword, near the pattern.

Even Japanese swords exist with dragons and other carved objects, but there seems to be no mistake in thinking of them as some kind of crest because of their shape.

"Oh, it's in my sword, too."

"It's on our sword too... it doesn't look like it's on our rusty sword..."

Of the swords collected, three were stamped on swords believed to be made of white iron.

"This... is likely to belong to some nobleman, or his private soldier. I think if I had a sheath, I could get a little more information..."

Skeleton had a sword out of his body, so unfortunately he didn't get the sheath.

Maybe it's rolling somewhere, but is it likely in the cave?

"Wow. Trouble?"

As Yuki frowned and raised her voice, Natsuki nodded deeply.

"Selling poorly is troublesome. Melt and return to ingredients or die in a magic bag"

"But this is white iron, so you can't dissolve it in our furnace? If you're going to make a new one..."

It's a death row decision.

"Right! I knew."

Toya nods with a slight depression at Hulka's words, which replied to the feeling of eating.

As a matter of fact, if Toya really wanted it, she could also use the compensation being distributed to build a workshop resembling a full-time blacksmith, but I guess it's inconceivable in the current situation where there's little need.

Because it would be a huge amount to invest as a mere hobby, and I use it precisely once a week.

"But there were a lot of undead without weapons...? With aristocratic private soldiers...... a large number of workers? Could this be an abandoned pit?

"I see, then..."

If you're a soldier or a bandit, you'll have about a weapon, even if it's the lower end.

But only a very small part of the undead we fought with had weapons. The majority were unarmed zombies and skeletons, and the total number of them would be quite a few.

If we consider ourselves workers mining mines, we are also convinced of their number.

"You do have people's hands in this cave. 'Cause obviously the ground is flat."

"Well, normally, it's convex, if it's a cave of nature"

As Natsuki pointed out, the ground of the cave, illuminated by the 'Light', was arranged for easy walking.

I'm not familiar with anything either, and it would vary in degree depending on how the cave was made, but normally I would have either dug it that way or flattened it later.

"What do we do? You want to come in?

"Right... Shall we just go in for a little bit? If it seems deep, turn back immediately. I'm not even getting ready."

"Right."

Thanks to our magic bags, we carry more stuff than normal adventurers, but we're still not ready to do a cave search all of a sudden.

If you think about it, you'd better watch lightly, to the extent that you intend to.

We cave in first with Natsuki with scouting skills.

A short walk inside made the aisle a little wider, enough for about four people to walk side by side.

Fortunately, no sign of the enemy so far.

"After all, it seems certain that people's hands are in"

Natsuki, who was leading the way, points to the wall illuminated by the 'Light'.

There were traces there that seemed to have been made of some kind of tool, indicating that this place had been dug by people's hands.

"I'd rather have a bandit aside if I could"

"Why?"

"You might be saving something up, right? If it's an abandoned pit, don't you feel like it's about ore if they find it?

"But it's time to be undead, isn't it? Besides, if someone crusaded you, I think they already took the treasure."

"Oh, yeah, he's dead... no, he's not likely to have an epidemic..."

At the time of the epidemic, you'd throw away Ajito.

Unless all of us suddenly get sick.

"... thinking about it, could it possibly be gas? Should we even bring him in at the canary?

"Ruh. annihilated by volcanic gas......?

"Not necessarily volcanic, though. Even carbonated gases die."

"You don't have a gas detector or anything? With magic props."

"Uh-huh, I wonder how it went? It seems convenient in the mine, and I feel like it might be... Hulka, remember?

"... I feel like it happened. Well, it's pretty thick, so I just have to read it."

"That" would mean Halka's bought alchemy dictionary.

I've had it shown to me too, but it's all handwritten, and it doesn't come with an easy to understand index, so it seemed like a hard substitute to find what I was looking for.

This can be said for all the books in hand, but the readability varies considerably from writer to writer.

Thanks to God, there are no more problems with reading and writing, but thanks to this ability, which is very high performance in a certain sense, in the case of the strong letter of the habit, the strength of the habit can be understood at the same time, and it takes a lot of time to read.

It would have been easier for me to translate it into Japanese without question...... really, I feel the appreciation of an easy to read typography.

"Then why don't we turn back once? Gus sucks, right?

"Well... that might be better."

Harka nods in agreement with Toya, who says with a slightly uneasy look.

Occasionally on the news, I sometimes hear that the gas that had accumulated in the large tank caused the workers inside to lose consciousness and that those who went to rescue also suffered secondary damage.

Considering that, I guess it's not such a sweet thing as' a little bit will be fine 'or' let's go back if it looks bad '.

"Then maybe just fine. Look, look. The road is divided."

Seeing the end of the cave in the words of Natsuki, who was slightly ahead of one, the road was second-hand divided by a thrust.

I wonder if the distance I've walked this far is a few hundred meters from the entrance, from time to time?

"Something about gas, but it's out-of-the-box, and it sounds bad to go ahead without mapping, right?

"I don't know where we're going. Let's go back."

"Right. Oh, it doesn't look like a bandit's ego, at this depth."

"I guess. It's too deep for a bandit to dig, and it doesn't make sense."

This depth would be pointless for bandits to use as a residence, and would create a room closer to the entrance.

Is it almost determined by the abandoned pit?

The treasure... doesn't seem like much to expect.

We sigh and make a U-turn and walk out to the entrance.

"By the way, should I report this to the guild?

"To the guild? Why?"

"'Cause it looks like an abandoned pit, but it's a mine, isn't it? Mines are usually controlled by the state, right?

"... so is that. When people say they're bad at digging or something, it's bad."

"Yes, you should ask."

"Well, in a way, mines are strategic supplies."

Besides, it seems likely that these aristocrats were digging... hopefully it won't be a hassle...

Yeah, let's hope for Mr. Diola.
