Chapter 29: Transfer Circle

After Futaba-san brought down the Great Frog with her overwhelht to waste no time and aim ahead

The Magic Compass went like, Over there! and pointed to the middle of the lake, in other words, the circular plaza-like area we reached upon arriving at the end of the Waterline

“But like, there’s nothing here”

The trouble is, it’s just a plain old open space here Like the Waterline, it was 30 cm deep under water, and spread out like a stone-paved floor Structurally, it had the feeling of a giant pillar rising froht on top

“Hmm”

I let out useless groans as I try to search for a gi Fro use of traps, we can pretty eon is riddled with contraptions of all sorts Since the Coot to be so

I say that, but we’ve got zero hints here Neither is there so to slide open so us to solve a riddle

If forced to say, there’s the point that the stone floor has a Magic Circle-like thing drawn over it, which would be the only clue-ish detail But, that may as well be a part of its decoration too

I roll upout below my feet

“Yeah, no use after all”

The sensation on rowing on top I don’t kno long this place has been underwater, but this environment is perfect for the moss to culture

Thinking as such, I was glidingof tenderness caught on er

“Hm?”

Raising my arm out from the water— it felt as if my heart stopped

“NuwaAAAAAAAA!?”

Ondown Like a powerful suction cup, its er

Yup, it was a leech A big fat leech It’s a whole frickin’ 15 cm leech dammit

“Aaa!?”

I started flailing around , but had quite the suction power as well, and wouldn’t coly sucking out more offrom the outside

Black Bloodline Blood that—[1]

(TN: 黒の血脈 — Kuro no Kechimyaku — Black Bloodline Eh I don’t know~

)

“GyaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Just now, I think I saw soht now I’ away at my blood, so I wasn’t in a state to read into it There’s no feeling of pain, but getting such a gratuitous display ofinto its half transparent body, it was frankly so disgusting I want to cry No wait, I’ a little already

“Haa haa g-got it off”

In the end, I succeeded in detaching it fro it underfoot It wasn’t ot squashed under my shoes Like a red haze, my sucked-out blood dispersed into the water

“Mo-Moht!?”

As I finishedmy one-man commotion, e body and swinging breasts[2]

(TN: Berserker is said in Engrish here, like Baa-zaa-kaa

)

“I’ leeches on the floor, so be careful okay”

“E-Eeeh!?”

Her eyes rolling around, Futaba-san splashed around her feet in the water Making sure there aren’t any icky blood-sucking organiss, she ended her dance

“More importantly, what about the core?”

“Yup, I have it here!”

While I was checking out the circular plaza, I had requested Futaba-san to go collect the core fro As expected of shi+ra club ace, it was child’s play

She was displaying a full-faced smile as she held out the red crystal No doubt, it’s the core It’s the 2nd ti the stolen one from the Armor Bear

Thinking back, it feels like the Great Frog’s one looks somewhat smaller than the Arth after all? Both are pretty sier in terms of battle prowess
