Arifureta Chapter 139 (2/2)
The ice asn’t too thick to be broken with Schlagen or Orkan
However, as Hajime had expected, after the red spark pierced the wall, the surrounding ice around the hole restored it in no time The restoration speed was even faster than the monsters from before
“… Looks like it’s ioal after all” Hajime muttered
While watching for any counter attacks from the maze, he took out his compass with one hand While the others looked at him in amazenored them
“Next, let’s see if this guy works properly in the maze…”
Although everyone tensed when Hajih the archway entrance to the maze… Hajime just watched the compass in his hand without any particular worry
Right at the entrance was a reversed T-Junction that led to the right and left The coht passage
“Fumu, looks like it doesn’t have any problem in the maze?”
“Ah The maze won’t be a maze, thanks to this”
Hajime smiled wryly at Tio’s affirh the arch He was thinking he wished he had it during the Raisen Great Labyrinth
“Uu, Meredi would have been no problem with this”
“… Nn Maybe that’s why they entrusted it to Haltina”
While shi+a responded with a sulk and ducked through the entrance, Yue and she reached the same conclusion as Hajime, that the compass was likely left in the Sea of Trees for that very reason
Haji comfort The three of them looked at each other with bitter smiles
With an expression of disappoint able to share those lance, the group moved onward
With a width and length of ten kilo would such a maze take to clear normally? You would have to search in the cold that made you want to cry It’d take incredible willpower
“There’s… quite a sense of oppression”
“Yeah Because everyone’s appearance reflects from the walls, like a mirror house”
Suzu was looking uneasily at the ten h shi+zuku as reflected on the icy walls
“Because they came out of the walls earlier… is that the idea?”
“Likely It’s a huge maze where you wonder around aiht be quite deadly”
“… Nn, but there’s no problem”
“That’s right, because we have Hajiic Eye and its perception abilities Also, my rabbit ears won’t miss the sound of a surprise attack either”
shi+a was especially bright and confident It was emphasized loudly when she struck the melons on her chest with a “ton” noise shi+zuku and Suzu’s morale took a hit, however Kouki and Ryuutaro were boosted after a quick glance as proof
Of course, Haji his feelings for shi+a, he reacted to such gestures towards shi+a
“… Hajime?”
“Cough Uht?”
Giving a gentle look, Kaori tried to change the subject with a cough Hajime looked at the compass aardly
After seeing Hajime’s reaction, shi+a covered her chest with her arled
“Really Hajiain? Please pardons, and I’d love to do it again But right now is no good! If you do it noill faint again and on’t be able to finish the walk through-”
To shi+a’s confession, everyone turned their face to Hajime with an expression that said “what on earth did you do” , shaht to remain silent
“… Haji her first time?… Hajime wild beast?”
“If I’h I endure and counterattack”
While listening to Yue and Haji “it’s THAT, isn’t it?”, it could be said their experience was piling up, and the stairs to adulthood was climbed considerably
Everyone was behaving suspiciously, at a loss on whether they should be listening to this conversation or not, when Hajime suddenly halted
And, slipping out Donner high speed without looking back, he shot
Dopan!!
The released bullet pass overhead of the blushi+ng and panicking Suzu and crushed the ar soundlessly from the wall
“…!?”
Thanks to her sht, only a few hairs were lost She lost her voice as the red flash passed by, experiencing the full power that was released from it
“Coht and left wall”
Hajiled noises co from Suzu His appearance was someone already switched completely to battle mode
Froers with claws, bones, and sinew, an ice statue like an armored Bullet beetle appeared
“GuoOOO!” X5
Frores attacked Kouki intercepted the right side while Hajime took the left
shi+zuku and Kouki’s killer attacks cut a Frost Ogre in two Ryuutaro’s fist attack crushed one at the chest, and the two reical barrier
This time, the demon stone that produced them infinitely did not appear in another place A dark red crystal appeared inside the cut and the crushed chests Kouki shot a blow at it
The re them
Meanwhile, Kouki and Ryuutaro delivered the finishi+ng blows on the Frost ogres that they were dealing with It was a one sided fight
Forgetting caution, Kouki and Ryuutaro smiled at each other, and then they heard the shout of a lovely voice…
“UryaaA!”
Kouki, who turned around with a sudden look, saw the beautiful legs of shi+a in an upward kick as she knocked five Frost ogres above them
Though they struggled desperately, the Frost ogres didn’t have the ability to fly, and crashed to the ground naturally thanks to gravity
shi+a, as she ca Doryuken with centrifugal force, hitting the frost ogre who had fallen doith perfect ti to be blown into a wall and shattered into pieces like a bo
shi+a didn’t stop rotating, repeating the action with the other ogres It appearedthan actual combat
Each Frost ogre crashed into the wall at the sae
“Suzu will be nice to rabbits e get hoer them, we should be nice…”
“Suzu… I cos”
While treht, Suzu muttered these statements When they return home, she didn’t want to hold the rabbits of Earth in fear
“They’re not that strong The surprise attack from anyone… well, it’s okay if we take note”
Yue nodded slightly at what Haji, because they were an ene
Afterwards, they encountered various traps Ice spikes came from the walls; ice walls collapsed Demons appeared from the walls for the next twelve hours as they explored the labyrinth maze
While it wasn’t extre, the continuous and monotonus scenery caused Kouki and the rest’s attention to wander
“Really, though we’ve walked and walked, Nagumo, how much further?”
shi+zuku asked with a voice laced in exhaustion to Hajiht
“Hht line distance won’t be accurate We seem to be about two kilometers from the entrance”
“Is that so?”
“Oh dear… let’s take a rest a little if there is a suitable place”
“Fufu… thank you”
While looking at the state of shi+zuku’s co his shoulders This caused her to s However, Hajime’s harem and Ryu noticed
A while later they encountered a large double door, of which the coh
“This is a spectacular door, too”
“… Nn, Pretty”
Looking up at the huge doors, they could see it wasn’t just made of ice It was carved with flowers, thorns and roses, with a large round hole that took up about the fourth of the door within the design
Haji the full power of his body against the door; however, as he had suspected, the large double doors did not budge at all
“As I thought, the door won’t open until we find whatever goes into that cavity Really, how troublesome”
Hajime frowned, and the other members showed unpleasant expressions It had already been roup were showing faces that were quickly growing tired
“… Hajime For now…”
“That’s right For now, let’s set up to rest”
Kouki’s group gave out a relieved expression and let out sighs at Hajiathered considerably
“You, stop going near the walls It’s likely they’llto take a rest”
With that, Hajie tent from his Treasure Warehouse While it wouldn’t stop a surprise attack, it would provide shelter
With surprise, Kouki and party entered into the tent that had appeared suddenly before their eyes, seeing a space of about ten tatami mats inside
“… This is a kotatsu (Tn: heated table)”
“Waa… a soft and warm carpet…”
“Neither snow nor wind enter here Is this a ood temperature in this room”
“No, it’s seriously coumo”
shi+zuku said with an airls were already war themselves in the kotatsu while Suzu crawled onto the fluffy carpet on all fours
For the moe labyrinth However, there’s no probleeneration ic It automatically cleaned any dirt or detritus that touched the carpet (Tn: Only the japanese would be concerned about their shoes dirtying a tent floor on a ca trip :P)
Exactly, a space of healing
The group warmed themselves enthusiastically in the kotatsu with drowsy faces, except Suzu, as already asleep lying face down Thanks to the artifact for protection against the cold, they didn’t feel it sosurrounded by ice, everyone was happy to be in a warm space
As such, while being surrounded by each side by Yue and shi+a, Hajime took out some Cross bits
While the group looked with popped eyes, they disappeared outside to create a ring around the tent in the passage
“We shouldn’t be bothered with those four patrolling outside The cross bits will give us a chance to relax”
“… What’s that?”
“As long as you have the credentials, they should have no problems”
“But do they knohat they’re guarding?”
“The cross bits have been set to guard around the gate”
To shi+zuku’s questioning face, and Kouki’s scornful eyes, Haji his head a little Yue was at his side, placing a hand on his face
“… Not tired?”
“This tent has a recovery function” (TN: Is that how he ity)
Hajiently while fluttering heart marks drifted between the two of them
And, at that ti his attention to shi+a shi+a drew her cheek near Hajime’s shoulder with moistened upturned eyes that said “care for me too?”
Hajime drew an ar the heartout A pink space poured out, and you could al somehow
While watching Tio and Kaori, ere slowly approaching them, Suzu muttered while on her own
“… It seems that this space doesn’t heal a lonely heart”
Kouki and the others agreed whole heartily
