Monster Musume chapter 30: First hunt, first pressure and first reward

Ruu, the others and I entered the forest on Danze island While paying attention to reen woodland I hadn’t yet been to this area, so I made sure to be careful

After we had advanced for a while, Rin showed a reaction She had been looking for signs ofas a creature moved and had mass, it would displace air around it Air ic

“Is so?” (Tsuchio)

“Buru!” (Rin)

“Yosh, be ready to strike anytime Ruu, Lime prepare yourselves” (Tsuchio)

“Guruu!” (Ruu)

“Koku” (Lime)

Fire engulfed Ruu´s fists and Lime melted down and becaht in this kind of a cramped environment, I wanted to stay close to her and help her out

I jurasped a protrusion over her shoulder There ings to the right and left, so I gathered that I wouldn’t fall off even if she moved around violently, more or less

After we took our stances and waited for a few seconds, a Bubububu! fluttering-like sound froures of the monsters

“They’re… beetles?” (Tsuchio)

Large beetles fro blackish brown bodies, with horns specific to onlytowards us These insects were a kind which japanese people were quite fanizable appeared… While flying, they held spears sirasp

Their bodies were big and if the horns were also included, they’d be a little under 2 meters tall Because they could hold spears in their hands, they uys formed a formation and fleard us In total there were six, but that’s not a number which we couldn’t beat

“Lime, their shells are hard! Ai, be careful when you attack!” (Tsuchio)

“…” (Lime)

Lirass Rin produced a few thunder arrows and fired the the beetles’ shells Tch, their h, too

“Ruu, move forward! We’ll intercept them!” (Tsuchio)

“Gururaa!” (Ruu)

The head beetle tried to stab us, but we evaded the attack and then smacked it from above And then, the ones in formation behind it were bloay by Ruu’s tail Eh, there were a total of seven opponents? That last one was …a needle that suddenly stuck out froh its abdo Nice, Lime!

After having been knocked away, the beetles fixed their positions in the air and charged again With the differences in their tiood thing was, they had eyes only on Ruu and I…… You s, y’know

Rin ca from the sky above in a nose dive and threaded between the beetles The unicorn’s sudden appearance disoriented the bugs, scattering the!

We juround I ic, and used 【Fire Ball】 to pursue the re beetles who started to run away The beetle which fell onto the ground rapped up by Liot crushed by Rin

“Liest it” (Tsuchio)

“…” Purupuru (Lime)

Lime vomited out a beetle full of holes in its abdo it, eh…

“Material material~ these felloe’ll take their shells and spears” (Tsuchio)

I gathered the beetles which were knocked down and stripped off their shells with a knife The reested by Lime

These shells were considerably light, eh… It looked good to use as ared for that legendary 「Item Box」…… I prayed it didn’t have a current owner

We advanced forward through the forest while continuing to beatbeetles, blood-suckingparakeet Somehow, there were a lot of southern country-like lad they couldn’t penetrate Ruu’s scales…

My backpack contained the s fro beetles didn’t have any weapons, they si jaws (TLC: kabuto = samurai helmet, have some kind of horn on the top of it) Since it looked like it’d be dangerous if ere caught by that attack, we beat theic and Ruu’s 【Fire Breath】

The monkeys threw stones or wood spears, or used stone axes to challenge us in contests of power Though they were quite troublesome opponents because they made surprise attacks from the trees and also coordinated between themselvesFortunately, on the subject of coordination we also trained at it, at lot In situations where we lost at skill, we could overco!

The parakeet flew through the air and spat fire fro fire that Ruu breathed at it The first ti Ruu’s flames, it surprised me, eh

We had progressed really sht while stillmuch of our composure There must’ve been a reason that adventurers couldn’t reach the center …I hadn’t learned what it was yet

That reht at the center of the island, but I didn’t knoas in its region, alright~ … I forgot to ask for that inforht, inforhh Tsuchio: such a dummy!!!

“Haaaa…I really should’ve asked about it when getting the inn’s location…” (Tsuchio)

“…?” Purupuru? (Lime)

“Aa No, there’s nothing I was just thinking perhaps I should have asked for infor like that, at the guild, y’know” (Tsuchio)

“Kokukoku” (Lime)

Now that youat what I said Well, the kinds of monsters outside the island probably were just those chickens we encountered The problem as at the center of the island…

“Bururuu” (Rin)

“H Rin?” (Tsuchio)

Rin alking ahead, halted because she found sohtly open region, with several adventurers on standby over there Was this perhaps a rest area… I too felt a little tired after all, so let’s take a break and eat our lunch

As we entered the clearing, several of the adventurers glared towards ht that we didn’t ht! Really…

The backpack was lowered and I sat down on a randory, they ate the monkeys and the parakeet as they pleased, so lunch wasn’t quite necessary for theh the only thing she had was that insect

I took some portable rations out of my pouch and quickly placed the it doater Aa, it tasted horrible… It was dry and hard to s…really, it’s just to fill you up, eh

After quickly sending everything to my stomach, I drank water and declared lunch done I wanted take a short break and then leave immediately If we didn’t return to town before sunset, it would be dangerous after all I wondered if we should perhaps advance just a littlethe first day there’d be no point to it, right, sothe first week?

The center of this island was on e tree, and that place hadn’t seeht have been iht that it probably had been challenged by others already, but if there was still nobody that got to it, perhaps it was okay forwith inforuild

We continued to rest for around thirtythe rest area For now, it’s wait-and-see today Let’s return to the tohile taking a side trip, just like this

Though we advanced without purposely creating anyRuu and Rin’s footprints, thus there was no problem

“Huu, there should be enough materials for now Fronore thes that I want to ask about once we’re back, considering, so let’s call it a day and return I also really want to check on the s and such, after all” (Tsuchio)

“Guruu” (Ruu)

“I understand, but I don’t knohat lies ahead of us It’s better if we have rooht” (Tsuchio)

“Buruu?” (Rin)
