Chapter 16 (1/2)

Mabbo, Fairy, Catfish (Eane-kun, Solved the Digits' Mystery

Those digits botherdown the redbear If her fro the arrow once

—First step, seal its offenses

「Rrroaaaaar!!」

It raised its upper body and shook its whole body down, packing a bloith the weight of its body fros its foreleg doards at yao!?」

The arro exactly towards the stop as intended, pierced through the attacking right foreleg

—Second step, restrain its feet

I prepare the second arrow right in front of the redbear whose assail was interrupted by pain The target is the knee of its left hind-leg, where its balance is bad while it's still standing

「Guuh!?」

—Third step, …is, well, not needed I guess

His upper body folds just as his knee is shot through, with the head of the red bear falling down as though it collapsed The distance between me and the redbear is nil In the scenario where I can touch its nose if I extend my hand, I had already prepared the third arrow

Anger, upset, and fear Within the redbear's eyes which are in line withits own death The moment it realized that it had lost, the iron arrow pierced its head through its right eye

「…Yosh, it's over」

After I shot the third arrow, the digits above its head turned to 「100」 And then, they slowly vanished froits, e I don't kno and what it calculates, but I think that's probably the case Considering the time I used the wooden arrows, to the time it found me, and until the time I confronted it It also explains why they fluctuate according to the movement of the redbear

The reason why I only saw them above Lorobel up until now is that I've not met anyone besides her for the last few days as an opponent to putFroer thanwhether or not I could win against her

That hen those digits appeared

At first, when she was sitting next to「winning percentage by co surprise attack」 Conversely, there was a 50 chance of not winning even with the ele about her, I still couldn't see ht her with a surprise attack

Moreover, at that ti percentage was 50 only She's an opponent I can't face head-on

Next is when she was inside to side with Laila was about 「31」, I guess? Si each other The reason why it was lower than when I was beside her is siht under her nose Any suspicious ht

And lastly, the ti it norot the 「Megane」 that she lowered her attention from me

If I think of it like that, all the dots connected

—I ot down froits over her head show 「99」 after all

Un If it is Laila, I have confidence that I can win against her in any circuainst the target I don't recognize as an 「opponent」, but if I' being

「…Y, you see! I'm more skilled at 『Flame Sphere』! If you think that that was all that I could then… How do I put it… it'll feel like I'

I wanted to test out a few things about those digits, but let's put theot that Then, help me disassemble it」

「Deny what I said, will you! Give hts about you

「Since you can use ic, it's so cool」

「Those words alone are filled with sarcasm, but you put no heart into them, didn't you!?」

「Ah~, the fur is wasted~」

「Hear me out! Show me so!」

When the redbear's fur is washed, tanned, and finished with a softener, the bristle that could stop blades will become as smooth as a baby's butt It's said that it is the most valuable part of the redbears If the fur is cut so lessly and randomly like this, then the reward amount is sure to fall What a waste

「…You see, even though the outcolad that I came」

Behind me who had already pulled out my disassembly knife and started to skin the redbear, Laila spoke so

「Look, the people fro like redbears could be cut doith a single swing They also can defeat stronger ic beasts easily Thanks to that, I had beenThey're actually strong」

H I can learn so out of this?」

Rather than that, I wish you'd come and help me disassemble this already

「I still can't be associated with the strong I haven't reached that stage yet」

U~n Won't you fetch ane sure is strong, huh」

Aah, un

「I think 『this Megane』 is a」
