World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Episode 185: Morning Landscape/Luggage Car

Light is spilling out of the gap in the curtain. I woke up early in the morning when the sky started to whiten.

"Ah..."

What amazes me when I hold my mouth in front of me was Luisa, who wore the receptionist's uniform and supported her in going out.

Mr. Louisa wakes up painfully and leaves. It was like putting your hands on the couch and peeking into me - were you worried because you slept like you were dead?

"Good morning, Mr. Louisa. Can you go out now?

"Yes… even in the position of a special official, as normal duties will be assigned while staying in District V"

"Good luck. What about breakfast?

"You just delivered a snack at Maria's arrangement for 'Forest Diner'. Warm coffee, tea and soup are also delivered in pots of magic props"

"Coffee...... I miss that. I haven't spoken of it once since I came to Labyrinth Country, but can you get it in some labyrinth?

"Yes, they're native to the labyrinth of this district. I'm in a difficult place to pick it up, so I have a limited amount available...... Dear Atobe, would you like a drink?

"Yeah, a drink if you can… but should we wait if everyone wants to drink too"

"There's a share for everyone, so don't hesitate"

Gosh, Luisa smiles. When she brought the pot, she poured the coffee into the ceramic cup that had been prepared to go with it and put it on the saucer to serve.

As I've already known from the time I poured it, this scent - just drink it, memories from when I was a company employee go around the back of my brain.

"Back there, you can drink coffee without sugar a lot... I think it would be better to add milk and make it into a cafe ole"

Did that happen - Mr. Fifty Storms once brewed me a cafe on the company's coffee machine? She came to work after I spent the night looking at me as a living corpse.

Until then, it was me who was black, but in about half the time, I started choosing cafe ole too. Mr. Fifty Storms can't drink without adding more sugar - how do you know, because I've also plugged her in as a subordinate.

"Yeah, yummy...... Le, Mr. Louisa?

Mr. Louisa is looking at me with a troubled face - I was thinking about something else and it was emptied up, it was a violation of my manners.

But Louisa shrugs her shoulders and laughs like she has no choice.

"Something, you mean coffee has memories......?

"Yes... it's not so much a memory. Remember, when I was working as Mr. Fifty Storms' man, I used to drink."

"... Which is better, the coffee then, or the coffee now?

"Uh. That's hard to put on..."

"... Isn't that where I can say Mr. Louisa tastes better?

I thought it was time for someone to wake up, but it was as expected - Mr. Fifty Storms, who has just given his name, comes out of the shadows looking embarrassed.

"Good morning, Mr. Kyoka. You've been nicer to Atobe than you were to me."

"Well, that's not true... but what made me do so many times that I wasn't a good boss at all. The last one was avoided in the back, too."

"Yes, no, what you were avoiding..."

"... you were avoiding it, weren't you?

Sometimes that's because I had too many opportunities to be in charge of the same project as Mr. Fifty Storms' direct report, rumors have come up that I'm Chief Fifty Storms' favorite.

I didn't realize that at all, so I was tempted to explain the situation. When I was just reincarnated, I still wanted to complain to her about nominating me and leaving the job to me - and yet, I'm reflecting that that wasn't meant to be.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm not trying to question you. I'd rather apologize if I remembered now..."

"So why don't you call Master Atobe by your name?

"What... hey, can I have a minute? Mr. Louisa, you're not being mean to me today...?

"No, that's not true at all... isn't it, Master Atobe"

"Huh? Ah, yes... No, you can stare at me, Mr. Fifty Storms..."

Mr. Louisa smiles at me unexpectedly. I poured coffee down my throat to calm down, thinking the grown woman still couldn't be a glimmer.

◆ ◇ ◆

Get breakfast where everyone has been awake and finish the schedule of going out.

"Brother, Mr. Farma can't leave the Eighth Ward any time soon, so he says he'll arrive tomorrow."

"Oh, you've heard from me. Thanks... Madoka, I think we talked about this before, shall we go buy a luggage car today"

"Is it true!? Wow... the luggage car, I admired it. You seem to be a merchant in person when you have a luggage truck."

"So you're just gonna go where the luggage truck's for sale first, and then you're gonna go to the library, right?

Mr. Fifty Storms, who was listening, comes behind Madoka and puts his hand on his shoulder. Even as Madoka lit up, Mr. Fifty Storms still did - smiling at his friendly appearance.

"I need to meet someone who has knowledge of the curse in Mr. Ceres's introduction... so I don't know if I can make contact in the library or if I have a clue where he is."

"Really? I don't know if you and Ceres have a slightly complicated relationship... I just wanted to thank you for the clue, so it's not a good pry."

Not everyone is always there, so I'll share the information again. There would also be a huge difference in everyone's mood between circumstances being swallowable and acting otherwise.

"I have a feeling now, but who the hell is Mr. Ceres? I can't believe I know someone in Ward Five, who's actually more amazing than I thought..."

Misaki admires me, but I'm also concerned, to be honest. Now that Mr. Ceres and Mr. Steiner are already in the workshop, the question around it will be if I get a chance.

"There must be some circumstance that I didn't tell you everything. I wonder what kind of profession someone familiar with the curse is..."

"I can think of a few... because Shirone was also a profession that had something to do with curses"

Sirone's profession was' The Curse Man ', but her dropped weapon was two swords. "Heaven Stiletto" and "Blood Football" - if you were to use two at the same time, it would mean a duplicitous swordsman, but I also feel a little far from the way you fight imagined from the name "Curse Man".

"She was originally a Double Swordsman. I don't know why you moved to" The Curse Man "… I'm sure the reason is to explore the possibility of wearing" Colored Mark Gear ""

"Colour..."

The name of Elitia's weapon is Scarlet Emperor Sword, which bears the name of color. You mean 'colour mark' in that sense, with colour marks?

"Are you saying that there are other weapons with color names and they are cursed too?

"Yep... the number owned by the 'White Night Brigade' may be increasing now, but a few of us should have it as the first captain. It's not always a weapon, it can be found as a protective device."

"Mr. Elitia, are those in the brigade capable of controlling the curse weapon...?

To Suzuna's inquiry, Elitia clouds her expression. And I said, staring at my own sword in the sheath.

"Firstly, to be equipped and transformed into an inherent position. I'm sure Johann, my brother, is the only one in the brigade who has reached that stage."

More than that - is that the state of overcoming the curse by using the "colour mark gear"?

Elitia's profession of 'Carsblade' also shows signs of change after previous battles. At the time of defeating a thousand demons, his unique skills were freed and he was able to master 'Scarlet Dance'.

"Is there any condition to reach a stage beyond that?

"... I don't know. My brother said the conditions are different for each color of the equipment, but because that guy doesn't really trust his people. Lieutenant Anise also said he didn't know what his brother was thinking."

"Still, acting together means... for the members of the brigade, Lord Elitia's brother, you are a trusted leader."

Mr Serafina says so, but Elitia did not affirm it.

"I know I shouldn't say bad things about my flesh parents... but my brother has changed. I used to be a quiet person on holidays, like forgetting time to read a book."

If you work as an explorer in a labyrinth country, harsh events can happen less likely.

If something happens to Elitia's brother that just makes a big difference, we shouldn't be too preconceived about him before we know it.

Even if the brigade doesn't help Luwi, we will. I don't know how our posture will show up in the brigade, but I can't care less.

"... I will support Elitia unconditionally, even if I have a disagreement with Elitia's brother"

"Alicht...... thanks. So far, I think that's fine if we don't see each other. Because I think that's better for each other than leaving the brigade with a mind set."

"Ha, if I were a kind looking brother, I would have talked fast. It sounds a little scary listening to you, so it's better to just look from afar."

That's what Misaki says, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to talk to you when I get the chance. Because I'm curious as to why Shirone did something hostile to us until he came to District Seven.

If it was at Johan's behest, I have to decide that he has somewhere not to choose the means for the purpose. I can't be alarmed by the brigade, though that's something I've been feeling for a long time.

◆ ◇ ◆

In the northwest of Ward 5, there is a workshop that makes luggage cars. The workshop manager was a bearded man, a little older than me, I guess, but oiled gloves and the like made him feel old and the style of a skilled artisan.

"I'm McCain, I'm doing a second generation of this workshop. What do you need a luggage truck for?

"She is a 'merchant' and possesses' luggage gear 'skills. I'd like to carry a different package to slow things down, but this time I'd like to use it to load heavy weapons."

"The lady uses the luggage car? A heavy weapon, or you're going to be dealing with some pretty big fat ass. Then apply load-bearing assistance."

"Load tolerant...... can you increase the load or something like that?

Mr. McCain nodded, bringing something like a hole of metal stick.

"This is the handheld part of the luggage truck. If you make the parts here empty with demonic stone holes and rune slots, and wear something like" light fossil "," floating stone ", or" flying stone "again, the performance of the luggage car will change dramatically. The weapons and luggage you guys are equipped with don't change much because of their decadence. For a man with the skills of" luggage gear. "

"I see... you mean there's a deep tune-up"

It was somehow the word of choice, but Mr. McCain reacts visibly to the word 'tune-up'.

"I used to work as a car mechanic before I was reincarnated. I didn't think experience would bring me to life in this labyrinth country at first, but how could a demon prop make me feel like a possibility? You'll be able to build engines over time, but you can substitute the same functionality with demon props. I trembled when I realized I could modify it with demon stones on my luggage."

"Does that mean... before, no luggage car with demon stones existed?

"It will. The original use of the luggage truck is enough. There was a guy who said he wanted to try putting some extra 'light fossils' on his luggage, and that's where it came from. That's the kind of service our workshop started working with."

"Ahhh... do I need to get those demon stones to prepare for using my luggage car"

Madoka said, Mr. McCain laughed - pointing to the shelf at the corner of the workshop.

"I'll get the money I deserve, but we also have demon stones available. Well, if it's loaded with cannons, maybe we should make a modification that can be loaded with 'frames' rather than weights."

"Frame...... if it is within a defined frame, do you mean it can be stacked regardless of weight?

"Use this' storage stone '. The market will now be 2,500 gold coins, but it's a demon stone worth something that sometimes jumps more depending on the time of year. The luggage cars fitted with this will be loaded with frames irrespective of weight"

Given this use, it's just a must-have modification. Expenses are huge, but since it's time difficult to find the demon stone you're after now, you just said you'd buy time with the funds.

"Oh, brother..."

"It's okay, I can afford a budget. Mr. McCain, would you be able to modify the storage stone so that it can be used as a travel aid?"

"There are modifications that make the wheels run with magic at times of need and modifications that only lighten the takeover in pulling themselves. Assume how you operate and decide what kind of car you want to finish."

Even though I came to buy a luggage car, I felt like I had come to buy some automobile - I feel similar to deciding on options and buying a car.

'When it comes to trouble, you just need to motivate me. For situations where I can't materialize, I'll leave it to the master.'

I can hear Alfecca. Then the murky spider on his back also came into the conversation.

"Luggage cars have the role of luggage cars. There's no point in losing the role of Alfecca '

'I'm not thinking about that. Would it rather reduce the need for murky spiders when weapons are mounted on luggage cars'

'That's not true. The properties of powerful melee weapons that masters can equip will continue to have room to contribute in combat'

Ariadne's parts - doing things like arguing between 'armaments' is a bit surprising, as never before.

"We're both going to let you continue to rely on us, so we don't fight"

'... do good'

'I want you to use me as effectively as possible. Even if the masters get stronger, if the enemy is also a strong enemy, permission to use them will come down.'

"Lord Alicht, what will you do? I also have experience accompanying armoured vehicles, and I think I can assist with the movement of luggage cars"

"Thank you, Mr. Serafina. But I'm part of the party, so I'll do the job you asked me to do."

I would assume that with the help of Mr Serafina and Mr Zion in terms of escorting Madoka, who is unfamiliar with the battle.

And as she hoped, having her luggage strengthened with demonic stones so that one person could operate the luggage - this was the kind of specification.

◆ Heavenstill wheel + 3 ◆

· Luggage car using 'Heavenstills' as material.

"Storage stone" is fitted.

"Acceleration Stone" is fitted.

"Light fossils" are fitted.

"Use lightweight, high-strength heaven stills for the vehicle stand (Chassis). It is a white, shiny metal, often used in equipment around the Sixth Ward. Sometimes I get a little better metal, but it's just too expensive. But it's the second best metal I can use for my luggage in this workshop, so trust me."

"Thank you, Mr. McCain"

"Well, I had a good time finishing it in two days... it would have been a little harsh if the specifications of the luggage that I originally made as a sale hadn't been close."

We talked about the dates in one or eight, if possible, but Mr. McCain was comfortable with it. Expedition rates are only good for mana potions to use the skills used for processing.

"Let me hear it if I can. What the hell are you in such a hurry for?

"I need this luggage truck to defeat a demon. To be prepared and challenged as much as possible."

"Well... you mean it's due. If this specification isn't enough, say it again anytime. I could make you better if I only had time."

Mr. McCain laughed and said, tapping lightly on my shoulder.

"When I get back safely, tell me a little bit about it."

"Yes, definitely. Nice to meet you, Mr. McCain."

When I finished my request to make a luggage car and went outside - I went out on the table and started walking to the library, there was already a noise from behind that sounded like it would buzz metal.
