Volume 1 Chapter 19

Today ent to thein front of the entrance to a tunnel We had guards come with us but aside from Jamil and the rest, everyone else went to a different tunnel to hunt ical beasts

”Let's do our best! Ryouma-san!”

Elia is really fired up today Norh class ladylike dress, but today she's wearing an easy to move in shi+rt and a pair of pants And on top of that she's wearing an arical beast

The ones who entered the tunnel in front of me were Elia, Jill-san, Camil-san, Zeff-san, Hyuzu-san, and myself

Rheinhart-san, the Madam, and Rheinbach-sama also caoing together, and Rheinbach-sa to a different tunnel by himself

When I asked Jill-san and the others if it's ok, they said this

”Don't worry, in the past they travelled together as adventurers And what’s et an achieve country in the past So you don’t have to worry as they won’t even get so ical beasts that just live in a nearby mine”

Rheinhart-san laughed and said

”The truth is we don't really need guards We, three, like to go as we please, and if we go out with guards we’ll just get attention, so just having Sebasu-san go with us is uards follow us in the town?”

“The Jamil Household is different fros They’ll even hire people likeas they have the skill And they’ll even talk to people likeas it isn’t in public or in front of the other nobles”

Well that’s true These three do look like skilled experts at sword and ic

As I listened to that story I suddenly noticed that the Mada at me and Elia from the entrance of a separated nearby tunnel Elia and I waved back, at which the er one, one more time, and then she entered the tunnel with Rheinhart-san

After sending the two off to a different tunnel, we also entered a tunnel The one leading us is Zeff-san, followed by Jill-san and Hyuzu-san Who are then followed by me and Elia, and then at the rear most part was Camil-san

Before going, Zeff-san looked at us and warned us

“Ojousama, and you little boy, ‘tis a lil’ dark here so please watch your steps People used ‘ta work in this tunnel so there ain’t any here, but there gers is the job of a scout like me We may be here for lil’ bit of trainin’ but I’d like ‘ta reo out ahead of us”

“Yes!”

“Understood”

After walking for a whileso ahead of us and Zeff-san stopped He also ood look at it…

“Bug?”

For so there that looked like a praying mantis, only, it was around my size

“You see ‘tha bugger over there little boy? Hehe, just as I’d expect fro classholes and lives at ‘ta caves and tunnels it finds”

“Che! This is gonna be a bit troublesome…”

Hearing that, I couldn’t help but ask

“Is it strong?”

“It’s not strong The scythes aren’t sharp and its carapace is soft, so when ated easily

The probles reproduce fast, and froher class race, Blade Mantis, will couys look like the Cave Mantis, so it’s hard to distinguish between the two”

“Because the scythe of the Blade Mantis is sharper than the Cave Mantis’ you can’t be careless when dealing with a Cave Mantis If it turns out to actually be a Blade Mantis, you’ll get hurt Be careful”

Elia nodded at those words and said

“Ok”

“Hoe distinguish them?”

“You see… ‘tha bladeis that it’s really not that big of a difference so you need that ‘lil soers That thing over there is a Cave Mantis I’ll lure the bugger, and help you ‘lil ones get a closer look, ok?”

After Zeff-san said that, he went near the Cave Mantis by hiot its attention, and then he came back After he reached a place where Elia and I could see clearly, he received the attack of the Cave Mantis with a shi+eld

“That is a Cave Mantis Its scythe is a little fast, so please be careful when dealing with it”

“Ojou, take it doith yourits blows And do take care not to hit Zeff”

“Don’t use Fire Magic, ok? Since here in the cave there’s no place for the so”

“I understand”

“Anytime is fine, Ojousama!”

“Then… ‘Ice Arrow’! tch! ‘Ice Arrow’!”

The cave ed the first shot, but Elia fired a second shot almost immediately, and was able to take it down

“The speed of invocation is a pass but please try to aim better”

“I understand”
