Volume 2 Chapter 1 Part2 (2/2)
Muir: ”Y-yes!”
Arnold: ”So we're not scared of you at all Besides, what's taboo? It just ht? Moreover, you don't look like a monster”
Muir: ”Y-yah! Wi-san isn't a taboo or a monster!”
Wi felt co the two's desperate words A relieved expression was seen on her face and she glanced at Hiiro
”Mhm? What is it?”
Winka was staring at Hiiro as if she aiting for hi because he had a mysterious expression on his face
”A-ah, this guy's the same as well… Or rather, he's more frank than us”
Arnold spoke for Hiiro since he decided that Hiiro didn't feel like answering
Arnold: ”What do you think he said when he found out ere beastman?”
”Oi”
”Do you wanna hear it?”
”Oi”
”You wanna hear it, right?”
”Oi”
Hiiro interrupted Arnold nored It certainly wasn't so to be troubled over
Wi: ”Yeah, I want to hear it”
A sense of eh Hiiro as he saw Winka's eyes sparkle in anticipation
Arnold told Winka about the time he'd met Hiiro Especially the part when Hiiro said, ”Instead of caring about every little thing, it'sbooks”, Arnold couldn't stop laughing while saying that Winka glanced at Hiiro many times with a look of respect
”Hah, who cares about such a story? More i to stand here for?”
Hiiro wanted to quickly free himself from the topic and act in order to satisfy his stomach Winka heard Hiiro's words and looked around at the three
Wi: ”Hiiro and co, what are you going to do now?”
She seemed interested in their actions
”We intend to go to the suredients there”
Muir answered and the antenna on top of Winka's head sprung up It was quivering around as if it received so It was as if it was an animal's tail
Wi: ”… Food?”
Arnold was the one who answered that question ”Oh yeah There's a spring at the summit, it was made when rain water accumulated for many years But we're here to hunt the Cow Crabs that inhabit the spring”
Wi: ”Cow crab… Is it tasty?”
Arnold: ”It's superb! It has a huge body like a cow When you eat a hout your ood soup stock…Drool, Oi!”
Drool flowed out of Winka's mouth like a waterfall
Wi: ”I want to eat it…”
Arnold: ”Eh? A-ah really? Well if you hunt the Cow Crab, I don'tWi's portion as well…”
Winka held her spear and pointed straight at the summit
Wi: ”… Let's go!”
Her eyes showed no hesitation, instead they shone with a look of genuine appetite for food Moreover ―――
”Oi, what're you doing, let's go, Pervert”
By the ti towards the summit
Arnold: ”Hey, don't call h!”
Wi: ”Arnold is a pervert…?”
Arnold: ”See! Now Wi's got the wrong idea!”
”Calm down, Uncle!”
A panicked Muir tried to calm down Arnold Then Hiiro delivered the final blow,
”Whatever let's go, Lolicon”
Arnold: ”What?!”
Wi: ”… Do you like little girls?”
Arnold: ”Argh, stop it alreeeeadyy!”
Arnold's heart squeezed upon seeing Winka's naïve eyes Muir ht in front of her
There was a large spring at the summit just like Arnold had said The summit was shaped exactly like a volcano crater and there was a big dent at the centre That here the rainwater had gathered and turned into a spring
There were rass grew than Hiiro had expected The area was naturally rich in nature When Hiiro looked around the spring, he felt his spirits clear up The spring was so transparent that he could see the bottom Many fish and creatures that looked like crustaceans lived in the spring
The size of the spring, which looked like a circle was roughly measured by Hiiro's eyes It was surely around 100 e pool of water
”How do you catch the Cow Crab, Old Man?”
Hiiro couldn't see anything that looked like a ht that it was either at the botto or more in the centre He was concerned about how to catch it so he asked Arnold
Arnold: Mhm ~ actually, Cow Crabs are very tie and break the surface of the water”
”Hah? Then what do we do? Don't tell me we have to dive in to catch it”
If that's the case, then Arnold should go and catch it But Arnold shook his head
Arnold: ”Cow Crabs are good at ca I'm not even a professional fisherman, it's doubtful that I could catch them”
”Then what are we going to do?”
Arnold: ”That's where you come in, Hiiro…!”
”… Hah?”
Hiiro was taken aback when Arnold suddenly pointed his finger at him
Arnold: ”Use your 《Word Magic》to find and catch theht? How's my brilliant plan? Ahahahahaha!”
Hiiro stared at Arnold and a vein popped up on his forehead
Arnold: ”Ahaha… Eh? Oi, oi, what's wrong? Why are you co up behind me, huh?”
Hiiro kicked Arnold's back with all his ht
Arnold: ”Ouwaaah?!”
SPLLAAAAAAsh!+
The water nificent sound as Arnold dived face first into the spring
Muir: ”Un-uncle?!”
Arnold lifted his face frohed violently, he had sed quite a bit of water
”Argh, uogh, argh!? Wh-what are you doing, Hiiro!?”
Arnold hurled to Hiiro with a cold gaze
”This was certainly my request fee, was it not, Old Man?”
Arnold: ”Eh… Ah, that's right but…”
Arnold understood what Hiiro was trying to say and was embarrassed
”And yet, I'm the one who has to catch the prey? I'm the only one who has to work? Do you think that's compensation?”
Arnold could see a black aura co out from behind Hiiro
Wi: ”Hiiro… Scary”
Muir: ”Aah!”
Winka and Muir distanced themselves when they saw Hiiro's appearance
”W-well, it'll be faster that way and it's more reliable You can catch it in the blink of an eye with your ht?”
Certainly Hiiro was able to easily catch the prey with his 《Word Magic》just like Arnold had said Hiiro still hadn't told theic but Arnold had concluded correctly fro Hiiro use it
It was inevitable since Hiiro also wanted to eat delicious things but he didn't like Arnold's attitude So he thought it was natural to punish Arnold a bit and sent hi
”Whatever, just hurry up and bring them here”
Arnold: ”Well, like I said earlier, I can't see through their cae…”
”Manage with your fighting spirit”
Arnold: ”Th-that's absurd…”
”Or else what? Do you intent to eat soain, this is ht?”
”Guh… Argh… Fine! I get it! I'll catch a lot of them so wait!”
Arnold shouted in a partially frustrated voice and then he swa
Muir: ”D-do your best! Uncle ~!”
Wi: ”You can do it ~”
Arnold was sent off with encouragements from Muir and Wi
Hiiro had free time so he decided to check his 《Status》 On the way here he had fought against ht it was better to confiric power

(Well, with this amount I can even beat a Cow Crab… Mhm?)
His titles also increased slightly and he found a word that he was bothered by That as 《Parallel Chain Writing》
(A new ability…?)
Hiiro clicked it with his fingers to see the explanation
《Multiple Chain Release》MP Cost: 50
More than one character can be written Originally when a character with a continuous effect is activated, another new character could not be written until the effect ran out However it is now possible to write another character without waiting for the effects of the previous one to expire Furthermore it is now possible to write the sa on the character various synergistic effects may occur However once activated, it is impossible to freely cancel the effects of characters
(I see In other words, after I wrote and activated a character it was i a minute but now I can consecutively write characters without waiting)
This was a convenient release ability It was necessary for him to try various experiments with this This release ability was ht so it was only natural that he smiled
