Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 680: Request from Sidorba (2)
"... after all, there was no madness in my eyes." The moment I entered the battle position, the air was tingling. Most people would be swallowed by this airy feeling. "
Sidorba, who throbbing, says something like that.
I'm not exerting any murderous intent, and I don't see any enemies. I don't remember feeling that nervous, but... did you feel that way because everyone reacted quickly and immediately entered the battle position?
"Oh... it looks like you've heard a rumor."
Sidorba's nervous voice was followed by Heine's.
A monster?
“Yeah, it's not that big. Diagonally forward to the right."
Let's go first.
Tan!
Before I can say anything, the Effe will jump off the loading platform.
When I saw Heine's reaction, I didn't think she needed to be so vigilant, so it didn't matter... but it was like she was motivated.
I didn't think it was a pleasure to have a prosthetic hand when the Effe bought the battle, but maybe it wasn't.
"Nil. I'm out too."
Yes!
Nil pauses the horse and switches to a move in case something happens.
Looking sideways at it, I got out of the booth, and Pilte got off the loading platform and followed the ef.
The way Efu fights, anyway, quietly, anyway, quickly. That's it. It seems easy to put into words, but it's a very deep technique... I don't think we need to explain it. That's why I've had so many bad feelings.
Such an Effe would have just run away from us, but we already see him in the trees from time to time.
Even though it was supposed to be moving at close to full speed, the Effe didn't hear any sounds. You can see how unusual it is, even if you are not skilled in body magic.
A killer who runs silently through the woods... as long as there are people who actually do it in front of them when they're stunned just by thinking about it.
However, just because of the speed of running, Pilte and I are running at full speed without worrying about the sound of boulders.
By the time they arrived at the monster signatures, Pilte and I had already captured the Ef.
Ef!
"It's okay, I'll take care of it."
When Pilte and I ran, Efu already had a knife in his hand.
The opposing monster was White Monkey.
An A-rank monster that is about the size of a human child in terms of speed, but it is a very troublesome opponent.
This time, three white monkeys seemed to have noticed our presence and approached us.
"First, let me check the performance as a prosthetic arm."
The prosthetic hand that holds the knife does not move much, such as the elbow or wrist, although the fingers open and close. It is not tightly fixed, but it seems that it cannot be moved freely.
Somehow, a prosthetic hand made by a dwarf! They say it's stronger than your original arm! I had a vague image like that, but it seems that I can't create something that is too unreal.
There was only one magic stone that I could put in a prosthetic tool. If you use it to drive your hands, it will be difficult to drive anything else. If you have more mechanical knowledge, that might be possible, but unfortunately, neither I nor Surakutan are very familiar with that kind of thing.
I'm sure Sidorba will make it herself in time... but this time, it'll be enough.
Shh! Shh!
Gah!
When the Effe quickly approached the White Monkey and swung his prosthetic arm, the gripped knife deeply injured Silver Monkey's arm.
With the strength of the Effe, we could have assassinated the White Monkey unnoticed, but this time it seems to be coming from the front for the purpose of testing the prosthesis.
There was a great premise that Piltee and I could always get into the cover, and that the opponent was an A-rank monster and not that tough.
"I was going to chop my arm off... but it's not like I can move my arm freely of my own will... but this is good."
Effe grinds his senses to see how he feels when using his prosthesis. I can see that by looking at it.
"There's no such thing as a sweet grip, and if it doesn't fall off, it depends on the user."
Tsk... tsk!
Effe leaps lightly and vertically, kicking the ground as he lands.
"It's not like fast... right?"
Efe's movements are completely different from mine and Nil's, and the closest ones are the ninjas on Ouca Island. However, compared to me and Nil, it means... and the movement of Shinobi is also different. Even more so, it's not the same as when you fought us.
Instantaneous force or sudden change of course due to simple leg strength. These movements are the ones we've seen, but now Effe is not only making a slightly unusual move.
For example, Hula Dance...
I don't know what you're talking about, but what comes to mind is the movement of Hula Dance.
A very soft hip movement and an arm movement. Whether it's called a kneecap or a fuñahuña... it's making a difficult move to paraphrase.
When I said that I was fighting with Hula Dance, I had no choice but to cheat, but Nil's soft sword technique was also different in softness... it was a movement with more physical softness.
Because it is completely different from what people usually do, it makes me feel sick when I look at it. I feel like my eyes are creating an illusion. I feel like my brain isn't doing well...
"It's a movement I've never seen before..."
“I've never seen anything like it. What kind of sword technique is that?"
"I don't know... it feels more like some kind of body technique than swordsmanship... maybe." I don't know, but... "
Efe's unusually soft body movements showed unexpected movements in the required places, and the white monkeys who had been deceived by them were exhausted in their attacks.
Although it was ranked A, it was said to be one of the fastest monsters in the world.
Perhaps the movement of the Effe comes from the Black Dog or the Dark Elf's unique martial arts.
The Efe's body shakes to the right and to the left, and each time, the feeling of an illusion in his eyes attacks.
However, the movement itself will not be a direct attack, and even if it falls into a strange sensation, it will not be fatal.
The opponent is not impossible to deal with, just because it is hard to fight. Besides, it's a movement that ordinary humans don't do, so it seems that the Eff couldn't launch a powerful blow. After all, when we attack, it's as usual.
Mollusk-like movements, although startling at first, are subtle when asked if they are practical.
There must be a reason why Effe didn't make this move in the fight against us.
However, it is really effective against monsters, and the White Monkey and the other monsters are awkward whenever the Effesse twists their hips.
It's said that it has an enchanted waist... but what kind of waist is this?
Whatever it is, Effe overwhelms the White Monkeys to the point where they don't need our backup.
"This is good. I can use it more than I thought." Is it a dwarf made stone? ”
Effe even has room to look at his prosthesis with satisfaction.
In a few moments, Piltee and I got used to the eyes, so that we could match the movement of the Effe.
"Piltee, I'll cover you so you don't get in the way." Well, I guess I don't need any backup... just in case. "
Yes. It's better to use only defensive magic, right?
"Oh, please.
I'll take over the White Monkey. "
Okay, I'll take care of the magic.
The words of Pilate are very reliable.
I already know very well that she is very capable. It was too much for a white monkey-like opponent.
I pulled out the Purple Phoenix Sword and ran straight for the White Monkey.
There's no carpentry, it's just running straight.
Effe! I'll take care of it!
"You can't just do this all the time."
I'll try it out and cut it up. "
When Efu says that, he pours magic power into his prosthetic hand.
Then, the prosthetic hand immediately spreads its fingers and leaves the knife it was clasping.
"It also reacts quickly to magic power." This area is unique to Dwarfs who are used to making magic tools. "
Gashan!!
After storing the knife she let go, Effe spins her prosthetic wrist immediately. The part that was shaped like a hand was retracted and the blade appeared instead.
As Sidorba said, the durability may be low, but when I look at the thin and sharp blade, it makes up for it and feels like it has an extra slashing flavor.
“Let's try this next time.”
Tan!
Effe kicks the ground with his prosthetic blade out.
Giggle!
The White Monkey's unscathed person reacts to it and runs forward.
It was one of the fastest monsters in A-rank. Simple muscle mass and speed alone can be said to overwhelm adventurers around here.
However, unfortunately for the White Monkeys, we are not ordinary adventurers, and we are not overwhelmed by their speed. It's the same for Efraim, the black dog that kept tormenting us.
Tattoo!
Giggle?!
One simple step, the Efraim takes the White Monkey's attack to the ground.
It's like watching a child and an adult fight.
Zaaaaaah!
Gyaa!!
When Effe shakes the prosthetic blade, one arm of White Monkey falls to the ground.
"Huh... this is pretty good."
And when he saw it, he laughed.
It seemed to have a satisfactory slashing taste.
That must be the case. White Monkey's arms are clenched in bones and muscles, not from the joints.
It doesn't look like the thin sword I was using... but with the weapon made by the NPC, it can be said to be quite a thing.
I didn't even notice the blade that I thought was an accessory because the prosthetic hand was amazing... but in the game age, how much did it cost? I can say for sure that it would have been a tremendous amount of money...
"What's the matter? Is this the right match for me?" Aren't you coming? "
Effe utters provocative words against the White Monkey who would not understand the words.
Certainly, because Effe doesn't have one arm, it might be equivalent, but... I don't think so.
"Gahhh!!"
Hah!
Shh, shh!
Gotcha...
It was a white monkey packed with madness, but Efraim's blade slashed his head without difficulty.
Zaah!!
At about the same time, I'm going to chop off the head of one of the cats I'm in charge of.
There were a lot of S rank monsters around here, so I didn't want to bother with A rank monsters anymore.
It doesn't even give me time to scream and kills the White Monkey.
Giggle!
The white monkey that was left behind showed a desperate expression that made her feel pathetic, and then returned to her heels.
Let him go!
Gash!
After seeing the white monkey trying to escape, the foe spins the wrist of the prosthesis, and the tip is disguised from the knife to the hook.
Extremely little effort is required to remove and store them, and it would be a good thing for Effe's prosthetic hand to be able to change the equipment based on his judgment.
And with that hook, when the foe waves its prosthetic hand with vigour, the tip part pops out and flies towards the White Monkey.
The tip of the hook is connected to the thread of the arachnid, and it seems to be a hook shot. There is no mechanism for launching, and although it is in the form of flying with strength, it can still be said to be a happy gimmick for the Eff.
I've seen the hook itself, but I can't believe this gimmick is hidden… The Rockstone is a dwarf craftsman.
Snap!
"Gah!!"
And then, the hook entangled in the white monkey's body, and the tip was stuck in its abdomen.
The moment he tried to escape, White Monkey was surprised, scared, and outraged.
"You don't have to hurt me." Let's end this. ”
Gahh!
White Monkey is ripping out her fangs, threatening and rampaging...
Holy shit!
* giggle *
Shocklessly, he was killed by the blade that the Effe had swung down.
“Not bad. No, given the situation, it should be the best… I'm sure we shouldn't want any more.”
Is there anything you don't like?
"No, there's no such thing. However, it seems impossible to move it just like your own arm.”
"It's just a prosthetic arm." It's not going to be the same as your arm. "
“That's right, maybe this is the best condition.”
"The knife built into the prosthesis is quite thinly sharpened, so it should be difficult to use." No one can use it so well all of a sudden. All of a sudden, you can cut it into bones. What more do you want? ”
"Hmph. That's right."
The less laughing Effe laughs a little.
"For me, being a friend is the first time." I was hoping that I could help Nil-sama a little bit.
I'm not talking about this prosthetic arm. I'll apologize if I make you feel uncomfortable. "
"I don't need it."
It's a very honest reaction to the Eff, but it must be serious. Really, my relationship with the Effe was quite different.
She always puts Nil first, as she promised, and thinks she'll protect herself.
There are places that go a little too far, but it is not a bad thing if you think that it is because you feel strong.
Besides, Efu was in a world where such overdoing would happen without a problem, so it might be natural to say that it would be overdoing. It's something you're doing for us, and I should be happy if it actually keeps us safe.
Well... I don't think the Effe's reaction to Nil is the same as that of his friends, but let's be convinced by the fact that it's Effe.
No matter what, I think it's a pleasure and a pleasant change for Efu to think about Nil like this and think more. Even if I have to thank you for that, I can't ask for an apology.
"If that's all you can do, you're on active duty." Please continue to do so. ”
"There's no need to be told." I will always do my best. "
I was told by the expression that it was not normal to say something.
"There are things I haven't been able to try yet, but I can't help but think that this is enough." After returning to the carriage, I will stay away from the carriage and keep an eye on the surroundings. ”
Can the Sulatan Slimes find enemies?
"If you just leave it to it, you may not be able to deal with it when something happens." You have the ability to spot enemies, so you should do so. ”
"That may be true, but... no, it is." We have to be aware that we're in that position. "
"Oh, it's very unlikely that a black dog would come into our house alone, but he's still gathering information and exploring weaknesses.
If the opponent feels guilty, it may be a good opportunity to attack now. You should never let tension go. ”
As Efu said, at any time... you'll get tired of the boulders, and I think it's too much to say. However, it is definitely right to keep a sense of nervousness to such an extent that the other party does not seem to be alarmed.
"I see... oh. Let's move with a little more nervousness. Thank you for your advice."
"Hmm... I just said what I thought, and you learned it on your own."
To thank him honestly, Efu turned away a little and said such a thing.
This is... tundere?!
I didn't say anything, but I was relieved that Efu was getting used to us.
Master!
When the conversation was interrupted, Nil's voice came from behind.
They detected that they had defeated the enemy and moved the carriage forward.
Is it just three white monkeys?
Looking at the three white monkey bodies we defeated, Heine walks next to the carriage.
Sounds like it.
"As I expected, it didn't seem like he was that much of a match."
Seeing us intact, Heine reacts as usual.
"Come on... White Monkey isn't such a weak monster...?"
It's hard to believe that he's lightly knocking down the White Monkey and discussing it as a matter of course, as Sidorba opens his mouth and alternates between White Monkey's corpse and ours.
"Because I'm an A-rank monster, I'm not weak."
Even if we get distracted, it won't be strange if we get killed. "
"I'm not saying that, but... no, I'm asking you to stand up in the first place, so am I strangely surprised...?"
"You should think about going to the mine safely." You don't have to think hard. ”
"Hmm... that's right!" I'll do it! "
Sidorba laughs lightly convinced. It's good for the Dwarves to be able to change their minds quickly at a time like this. Yeah.
