Chapter 27 (2/2)
I won’t be letting Futaba-san help out here Her role is look out It wouldn’t be strange if the head of an Armor Bear pops out suddenly from the bushes over there
In her place, the one beingpartner is this Vile Mud Doll, but its efficiency could only be described as lacking
“Hmm, this is a serious power deficiency”
Picking a single Redshroouess as long as the body itself is th would be up to the point where the mud wouldn’t break
I’d like to praise it for using its whole body, trying to extract the ite the boxcutter to cut theues faster
“Ok, this is enough Let’s go”
After finishi+ng up so not too far from the animal trail, finally, I tie one of the strips of Gon for back-tracking
After that, I guess another hour passed Similar to the forest way back when, this place also had its ups and downs, large roots on the way, claih I say one hour, it’s not like we got that far
The average walking speed of a japanese is around 5 km~31 miles But that’s the case when it’s a flat road withe no obstacles, not a forest where Mr Bear can pop out anytime, so our speed is probably half of that or less
“Around here, let’s take a break”
I’m kinda out of breath, and so decided to stop for a bit
Fortunately, the Mud Doll has enough speed and sta with knees up as if in standby mode
On the other hand, Futaba-san looks fine I couldto do with the Berserker vocation
The Berserker’s three Novice Skills are listed below:
Berserk Body A body, knowing only slaughter
Blood Boost Blood boils forth, to fight with no end
One who Hears Hear the voice froe not, listen to it with certainty [5]
The trouble is, the one and only hint that that can give us a clue as to what the effects of these abilities are, the descriptions co that someone like I, from the literature club and afflicted with chuunibyou, would write down, a collection of indecipherable flavor text, and that, was fatal This set of phrases, are practically useless[6]
What part and how then? What amount does Blood Boost increase the blood What’s the rate per hour? Is there an upper limit? There’s way too many questions[7]
And here comes the worst, this mystery skill called One who Hears This, in the first place, I don’t even knohere to use this Exactly what is this Skill for, hat kind of ti at all Voice from afar, literally whose voice is this! Get me the VAvoice actor/actress dammit!
Anyway, leaving aside my complaints to the literary hack of a Berserker God, it’s about that Berserk Body that incurs an effect on Futaba-san’s physical strength I think, it’s likely so her, but Futaba-san herself doesn’t seem to understand much about it she said
Futaba-san bashi+ng around the Goer than she was before, is th wielded to perfection with the supplee
And so, whether or not this Berserk Body is supplying the sta for a while, is also so I can’t be certain of
Well whatever it th to pop off Goma heads bare-handed, so lets just keep it there Whether this powerup is a result of growth and augmentation of base status nuin, in this case, doesn’t really matter
“Mo ahead?”
“Hmm, shouldn’t we? There hasn’t been any Monsters, maybe we can pass the whole forest like this“
It’s soht or two on the way, but the route was peaceful
“How’s the Coht?”
“We’re good, the direction and the trail is still ”
I’ve been frequently confiric Co the animal trail, our hike has been relatively easy
With that thought, I think it’s fine to go along the anies from the direction for today
“No, maybe this trail, it’s one that someone else cut open before us”
“Maybe it’s Class Rep and the girls”
“Could be Higuchi too”
As both of us inadvertently voiced out naot a little aard But as a possibility, there’s no denying it Higuchi gang and Class Rep Team, there’s no doubt that both are ahead of us
“A-anyway hey, Futaba-san, after this w—”
I opened ive a daht then, Futaba-san abruptly stood up
We were taking a break, tree trunks to our backs, sitting opposite to each other Futaba-san was now standing up, her brows knit, and though not to the level of her raot scary
Wait, what, did Iher of Class Rep that much of a landmine?
“Ah, Um, Futaba-san?”
In her silence, towards me, she takes a step Her hand draws the hatchet at her waist
Eh, no way, for real Wait, please wait, let’s talk, let’s talk ok? Let’s separate from the weapon, and the distance too, let’s calm down and talk it out Futaba-san
Of course s her hatchet
“EH, WAI—”
Faced with such a sudden attack, I had no time to prepare for death, and the blade of the hatchetmeat
“It’s fine now, Momokawa-kun”
“Eh, what is?”
As I ti, I find, s down her cheek, her face before my eyes
A beat later, I realize Doesn’t hurt Nothing hurts, and there’s no blood What Futaba-san cut, wasn’t me
“It’s a big snake, look Even if there’s no poison, it’ll be bad if so like this bites you”
Fuu~, she lets out a delicate breath, and froht beside me, Futaba-san takes the snake, whose head was split with the hatchet, into her hands
Uwah, didn’t notice at all Even when this big a snake got right intospace
“T-thanks saved me there”
Attuning to the sense of danger of so in onin sweat
This is a forest in another world Not only Monsters, there’sthese parts There’s nothing strange about a snake of two crawling around, and there’s not helping an a closed in by one such animal
So, I can really die here just like that, once again apprehending such a fact, I shi+vered in fear No, seriously, thank you Futaba-san
“Fufu, you’re welcome”
Replies Futaba-san with a cheerful s the head-split snake, and uses the hatchet to land another strike With a sound of slashi+ng, the snake’s head drops
Futaba-san kicks the snake’s detached head like a pebble, and as it disappears beyond the thicket, She grabs the tip of the neck portion of the rest of the body, and then proceeds to tear off the skin with all her strength as if trying to destroy it Seeing her smooth movements, I’m in mute amazement as, contrary to expectations, the snake was now cleanly skinned
“Eh?”
“This snake, I thought we could eat it maybe”
Its skin smoothly slid off, Futaba-san suspends the snake onto a nearby branch like a length of rope Dark red blood started dripping out from the severed area on the neck This
“Eh, we’re, eating this?”
“Eh~, you won’t eat it?”
The hell, she’s acting like I’ to eat it In the first place, this could be a poisonous snake, and trying to eat it is like, too e or
“A plain old snake It’s a weakling and there’s no poison, so you can eat it just fine Err, ah, this snake, looks like we can eat it, that’s good”
“Really? Yay~”
Intuition Pharain, it was this careless kind of explanation, which confirmed that this snake was suitable as food With definite proof that we can eat it, Futaba-san is absolutely thrilled Looking to the snake corpse dripping in blood Way too wild for a highschool girl from current day japan
“Futaba-san, so, hoe eat this”
“Huess We don’t have salt or pepper, and without the seasoning it won’t taste that good but we should still get in the meat content”
“Aah, now that youwalnuts haven’t we”
We can believe the information that it’s packed with nutrition, but no matter how you look at it, only those won’t be able to maintain your fitness of body We’re not squirrels We need our proper helping of protein
“Yeah, the path ahead of here, should take us a while I think So, it’ll be great if we can eat our fill”
You’re daht And there aren’t any cracks in that perfectly constructed line of argument, but then a roar was unleashed fro fail
“So Futaba-san wanted to have meat this much”
“Don’t say iiiit!!”
While regretting that rude slip of tongue, I thought that from now, I should employ Intuition Pharmacy to also see if the Monsters we kill are edible too Well, even if they are, I wouldn’t put h
[1] Cabaret/Hostess club It’s like a mellowed down strip club? I wouldn’t know >>
[2] 汚濁の泥人形 — Odaku no Doro Ningyou — Vile Mud Doll The Vile part has theof pollution, contamination, corruption etc
[3] It’s the kid 2nd froht Eh, nsfw? it’s educational! Erm, Simply said, the head is 1/4 of the body
[4] , I guess people know Radio Taiso if you’ve seen enough japin Re: Zero (lol)
[5]this is hard I’ll say this first, I’m not sure about the romaji pronunciations So ok, 狂躯 — Kyou Mukuro — Berserk Body The first part is straight forward, Kyou ~ Berserk, but the second part, Mukuro means dead body, but I based it to be similar to Blessed Body, so the end result is like that
Next is 増血 — Zou Chi — Blood Boost, Zou is increment, and Chi is blood
Finally, 声を聞く者 — Koe o Kiku Mono — One who Hears This one’s just anyway, literally, one who hears the voice, I shortened it for aesthetic reasons, I don’t think the nuance is too different, its a pretty out there name in the first place The description for this one is iffy as well
[6] I’d think you knohat is I could call it being colorful of mind…
[7] So he says Berserk Body strengthens, sure there’s so discrepancy since there’s Kyou in Kyou Mukuro and Kyouka (strengthen) It’s likely that he heard the names and descriptions from Futaba, so the miscommunication is valid?
