Chapter 21 Part2 (1/2)
Once again we found ourselves in the Strange Plains We had accepted a coeneral store to collect soe the plains were, but as I looked at the vast lands stretched out before me, I couldn't help but be stunned
I thought about ould happen if you walked out so far you could only see the plains in any direction They er Level 6, but size of the area alone was enough to kill you
We were after a flower that only bloomed on the plains It was used for recovery potions and seearded as soeneral store said she often sent adventurers out to collect theht back as much as she wanted
[ A Man-Eating Flower appeared! HP 44 ]
To make matters worse, ure out why Man-Eating Floould bloom in a place without any people Every time one of those useless, monster flowers appeared, Roel burned it to a crisp
[ Roel waved the Fire Rod! Man-Eating Flower took 233 dae! ]
[ Man-Eating Floas defeated! HP 0/44 ]
”Roel, that's a…”
Yesterday, e got our neeapons from Kohzoh, he had told us that the Fire Rod was only capable of low-grade fire ic Roel exploited their weakness to fire and h she still seemed a little uneasy in battle
”It's just because they're weak against fire”
She said that, but when she was done with theical ability, I would have said it was top class
By the ti happily to herself It was quite the scene, watching her burn a ain, I wasn't really in a position to say anything
”There's tons of flowers here Let's get a whole bunch,” I said
”Yeah, but we have to watch out foraround as though she hoped a monster would appear any second
It was strange to see an aggressive side of her, and I had fully intended to make fun of her for it
”All right, you think this is enough? If we combine ours I think we have plenty,” I said
”Is that…?” Roel was looking off into the distance
I followed her line of sight and sahat looked like three people fighting soer in the distance It kind of looked like those three sisters fro else in the area, so it was likely a Floor Monster If that were the case, those three were in trouble
[ A Plains Runner appeared! HP 565 ]
Ai yelled as she swung her axe
[ Ai attacked! Plains Runner easily evaded! ]
Ai's axe was so heavy that she was unable to attack any of the large tiger's weak spots fast enough to land a hit The tiger lunged at Ai, bearing its fangs
[ Mai used Double Shot! Plains Runner easily evaded! ]
Mai's arrows round in front of it Fortunately, the tiger had to stop its attack on Ai to dodge, but after taking one look at the arrows stuck in the ground, the tiger changed targets
”Wh-what are we going to do!? There's no e can win against this thing!” Mai said The tiger closed in on her quickly
Just as the tiger was about to bite Mai's head off, its body was split in two Blood sprayed everywhere as the two halves fell to the ground
[ Ryua used Sonic Ripper! Plains Runner took 224,028 dae! ]
[ Plains Runner was defeated! HP 0/565 ]
”Thank God Iquickly run toward theer when I used lad I didn't th in her li heavily
”Ryua! How in the world…” Ai said She had run up toat lad to see anyone in her entire life The youngest sister, Mi, round with her knees to her chest, her eyes wide and staring off into the distance
”That was a Floor Monster, wasn't it?” I said
”Yes If you weren't here, I don't knoe would've done…” Ai said
”Jeez you're strong, Ryua What the heck…” Mai said as she eyed the two halves of the tiger
”Did you three come here for a commission, too?” Roel said
”That's right We accepted the one froather some flowers,” Ai said
”No e're doing the sa? Are you done yet?” I said
”It's going ok How did you twoat our collection ”You guys really are a…”
They hadn't seeathered er or what, but it looked like they were having a really hard time
----------
After returning to the Guild and settling the commission with the attendant, we made our way to the three sisters' house They had invited us over as thanks for saving thele-story brick house on a street lined with stores
”Sorry we couldn't do more, but…”
Ai had laid out a dessert of popol juice coated pancakes The pancakes soaked up the incredibly sweet juice and were ht I could tell from Roel's face that she desperately wanted seconds, but she restrained herself
”How did you get so strong, Ryua? I never would have pinned you as a C Rank,” Mai said
I wondered if I should tell the I had done in the Caverns of hell, too Torepo ht have believed me, or at least she seemed to, but what about other people?
”I kinda thought since Mo with a boould be too It doesn't seeh,” Mai said
”I also thought Dad's axe skill would transfer to me, but it's just too heavy for hed uncomfortably

Mi ca and sloaddled up to us ”Thank you” She immediately retreated back behind her sisters' seats
I couldn't help but think that such a young kid shouldn't be an adventurer Wasn't she being subjected to all sorts of horrifying er than she hen I first entered the Caverns Back then I… Actually, I couldn't really remember I knew I had to have entered the Caverns, but I didn't remember the details
”That was delicious! Thanks so much!” Roel said
”You're welcome It's the least we could do after you saved our lives,” Ai said
”We didn't save you to be rewarded, so don't worry about it But hey, how co from outside The sisters' expressions froze
”You still haven't paid this month's tariff!”
