Volume 1 Chapter 9 (2/2)
In this case, the responsethe life of a man with no resistance in his oill, it was about he would directly receive that raw feeling
It’s true, that Junpei had the resolution from the experiences he had in this labyrinthーーbut even so, fros that common people would hate, it’s not like he had started to have a bad taste of liking to do that in his preference
But, it’s also true that he needs to assist the , and there was no way for him to make waste of his useful skills and experiences
The thing needed to do, he needs to do it properly
But, if he’s going to do it anyways, rather than directly, indirectly……for his ht be better
“Well then……”, Junpei, he removed the wooden cover of the oil pots that he took out
A distinctive irritating odor, that sasoline, or maybe to ethanol
When that tickled his nose, one girl appeared from the cabin
ーーForest Fairy, Dryad
Golden silk hair that extends to her waist, and a slight brown-colored fine skin
Her age was only about 15-years-old, an adult woman’sーーthe voluptuousness of that, combined with the innocence of a child’s, or irl that has an unparalleled beauty
Wearing a pure white one piece, she approached Junpei slowly
And there, Pan, a dry sound
The soil under Dryad got burst Biku, the girl’s whole body trembled
The sed the aiun from her feet to the middle of her eyebrows
「Don’t come any closer……more than that So, you’re the Dryad that tricked Ossan huh?」
「……that’s right Your recognition is correct」
The distance between them is only about fifteen meters
S of it as a breeze, the Dryad’s voice
Junpei who started to talk, roughens his voice as if to get irritated
「Speak with a louder voice I can’t damn hear you」
“Un”, she nodded, and the Dryad said
「……I got it」
It was better than earlier, but still her voice was still small
Shaking his head as if to give up, Junpei asked
「And, you’re the one who tricked Ossan right?」
She got silent for a while, and Dryad, she started to talk carefully, as if to choose her words
「I am Dryad……the Spirit that dwells in that tree I a life force from that tree And for that tree, the source of nutrients……I provide the source of life force That is theof my existence The tree and I……we have that kind of symbiosis」
「……so?」
「The h quality The tree gets really happy If they are treated properly, they can become a source of nutrients for up to 20 years」
「……source of nutrients huh」
「That’s right Humans are valuable source of nutrients That is why ht now」
「Adjusted?」
Kokuri, Dryad nodded
「Skill【Miinally, if I do not use【Mi from your perceptions, you can only see me as a tree monster」
「I see, that’s a pretty convenient skill」
“Anyways”, Junpei asked Dryad
「Why are you telling me the whole story so easily? As far as I can see, you don’t look like you’re lying……your de for?」
「……it is nice that it was a huht to the point」
And, she continued sorrowfully
「……we Dryads……we are, a very weak race」
Froh-handed attitude
That is, as she had said earlier, the following appraisal results has come out was the reason
【Dryad】
Danger Specification ▼ ▼ ▼ D
Characteristics ▼ ▼ ▼ Tree spirit Their appearance originally is a humanoid tree……more rather, a tree monster that has hands and feet They irl thanks to the【Mi most of their appearance, they deceive or maybe seduce humans After they have a very close relationshi+p, they let their target intake a huge amount of secretion fluid that has aphrodisiac and confusion effects, and make them a complete captive And, they sacrifice it to the tree that is their original source, and makes them its nutrients The existence called Dryads are created as the tree where they ca called Dryad, it ans of the tree
【Ancient Tree】
Danger Specification ▼ ▼ ▼ E
Characteristics ▼ ▼ ▼ Not able to gather enough nutrients alone, and uses Dryads to hunt all kinds of plants and animals Just like a norn ene the effects of the powers of the evil Gods that spread in the Interstice Labyrinth, its experience points is i, it is a very delicious monster for adventurers
「A very weak race huh……that’s probably true It’s also like that with【Appraisal Eyes】 Danger specification D and E……you’re laughable small fries」
「……that’s right That is why, I a you all of it」
「Meaning?」
「……please let us off」
Junpei shook his head sidewards and let out a sigh
「Before I ask what you want to say with that, there’ so I want to confirm」
「……what?」
「Why, are you not deceivingthat effort?」
「……firstly, the ones who saw the result of the person who got deceived, I do not have the skills to deceive on top of that Also……」
「Also?」
「……I do not will for many preys As the word “root rot” exists, moisture and nutrients……it would be poison if there are too much」
「Well, having a full stoer specificationーーI know your strength On top of that……the experience points too」
“And with that”, Kokuri, Junpei cracked his neck
「Until now, adventurers have appeared here right? Leaving out the ones that got caught, there should also be ones that didn’t And so……for those guys, how did you get though?」
「……that is」, when Dryad started to open her mouth, Junpei stopped her with his hand
「No, just a little, the story doesn’t have enough details So, I’ll ask?」
And, he continued
「In exchange ofyou off……ould you prepare for me?」
Dryad made an expression as if it was a letdown, or maybe surprised
「……for me who have done this much to the saood and evil, straight to the point It is really nice that the story is fast And……you, you have【Appraisal Eyes】right?」
「Ahh Yeah……it’s super class」
And, fro stoneーーor maybe you can call it a jewel
「……this is Dryad’s Tears」
「……」
「If you have【Appraisal Eyes】then its a fast story This heals any kind wound unless you have died In this amount……you can recover from a deadly wound four times」
“Ahh”, Junpei nodded as if to guess so
「Throw that to esture, I’ll shoot you」
As Junpei has instructed, Dryad slowly threw the small stone to one meter ahead of Junpei
He activated【Appraisal Eyes】, Hyuu, Junpei whistled
Dryad who saw that gesture h
「……I do not lie If you have【Appraisal Eyes】, you should know that I a」
And, Junpei who activated【Appraisal Eyes】laughed as if to get dumbfounded
「Ha!……this is too good of a story No, that’s whyーーthe guys until now let you off huh」
【Dryad’s Tears】
Iteendary Class
Characteristics ▼ ▼ ▼ A coating medicine that cures any outside wound other than death Proic powers and physical forces, and prompts the same recovery effects of the Interstice Labyrinth’s safety area ーーHowever, the existence of the Dryad that created it is the use requirement
「I see now」
At the sa that, Junpei whistled
「But……your existence is a requireood of a story huh」
“That’s right”, Dryad nodded
「That is why, the adventurers that passed through here……all of theestion」
「Well, that’s the best……choice that you can gain from」
And there, Dryad created a very serious face
Even if its the effect of【Mi of an unparalleled beautiful girl looking from below
With only that, you ーーit was that kind of expression
「I do not will for a fight Only, if I can gain a source of nutrients regularly that would be enough」
「……I see now It’s true, that the adventurers up until now, a peaceful relationshi+p that was like that h」
「Hus and cows in order to live Everyone understood that it was the same with that」
And there, Junpei shrugged his shoulders
「So……after I go through here without doing anything……ill happen to Ossan?」
「You do not need to worry about that This man would not be saved whatever ive up for you……if you want, would you like me to tell you the details of his condition?」
「…………since he’s going to die after all, give up in exchange of an elixir, you say? Or ?」
Confir that a vein faintly appeared from Junpei’s tee
「Senti here should know Balancing gains and losses…… with that is the most wise」
「……balancing gains and losses huh You’re really a bastard who’s looking down」
And there, Dryad reached out both of her hands in a hurry, and shook her head sidewards
「……please calet it……if we talk」
Junpei aiun to the middle of Dryad’s eyebrows
「Nope, I won’t get it I can never get an understanding with you」
「……why? Huains and losses……you……are you saying you’re that kind of a person that does not move with that?」
And there, Junpei scoffed
「It’s very simple」
And, he continued
「Foryou I don’t need recovery medicines in the first place」
「……?」
「My defense powers are 5 you know?」
「……5? I able to survive in this labyrinth with that status……」
「I put all of ht One hit of thelike that directly……it’s “out” in the first place That’s why I don’t need recovery medicines」
And, he continued
「Looking at Ossan’s end, it’s also true that it’s sickening So then, it would be better to just make you into experience points」
And there, Dryad has completely lost leeway on her expression, and the muscle fibers of her face were filled with tension
「……eh? What do you mean……? I cannot understand……」
「That’s why, I’ you it’s like this」
“But”, Dryad refused to back down
「……then! I a this for the prosperity of my race…… In fact, I have never sacrificed sources of nutrients that were toothat I needed to do in order to live……have mercy……」
Pan, a dry sound
「Reason forcare」
The sunpowder enveloped the place at the same time
After a blink of an eye, Dosari, the sound of the girl falling to the ground
Shot in between her eyebrows, ushed out like a fountain
And, Junpei touched Dryad who had died, and did a complete butchery of her corpse
ーーSkill【Mimicry (Super-class)】
「That’s right, if I have this……when I go outside……they will……」
Words he spoke to hi hesitations at all, he absorbed the skill card
Other than that, there were a lot of items that has the name Dryad’s Tears that had dropped, but it has lost its effects since it was after her death
It et to put them to his item box at least
「Well then……」
After he whispered, Junpei took out ten oil pots in total from his item box
And, the highly volatile liquid, he poured it to the tree as if to hit it with it
After doing that for two to three ht of pity to thethere
「Ossan……are you really……already “out”?」
To Junpei’s question, the
「aaー……」
A deep
A really deep sigh
Junpei took out a flint stoneーーand, took out his handgun as if to change his mind
「If I’ to assist you on your death……it would be better if there was only a little pain right I will have your experience points as mine And……Ossan’s skills also I would never make waste of them」
When he noticed it, tears were overflowing from his eyes
「Ossan Thank you If you were not there……I would’ve probably died a long tio……」
And, Junpei turned his handgun towards the hanging manーー
ーーPan, a dry sound echoed throughout
Bikun, the reatly
The next instance, a huge amount of blood overflowed from his forehead
While shedding his tears, Junpeiany words, and placed his palm on his body
「ーーUse【Butcher】skill」
And, the ed into skill cards and items
Junpei reached out to the skill card, and crinkled his expression dubiously
「Oi……what does this hest level……on top of that, I wished for that to come out Then, a hundred percent……that skill should’ve appeared right? What the hell is happening……」
He threay the skill card, and Junpei quickly created fire to the tree
BachiBachi, the sound of the tree burning echoed the surroundings
After that, he would change this tree into experience points, and go towards the next floor
And, Junpei had so that he really needed to confirm
「No……there’s no way……but……」
“Either way……”, he continued
「It’s so, that I would know soon」
And, in the next floor
There, he encountered what he did h floors, the safety area was positioned
That only means, that it would be difficult to clear the floor, but anywaysーー
ーーJunpei, he took the letter that was left there
And, he ended reading it once
And then, he collapsed there, and started to laugh while hugging his stomach
Or , or as if his h, no, a burst of laughter
His laughter couldn’t stop, and to the too much pain on his stomach, he even shed tears
ーーJunpei thought
When he thought of it, being able to laugh like this innocently, co it was ever since……
Or ht never have done before
For about five minutes, he rolled around inside the safety area, and after he finally caler, and spoke to himself
「Okay〜……I’d continue looking forward from now on」
†
Haha〜! Brother! It’s been a while!
The floor earlier, that was really disgusting!
Both of us, let’s use Dryad’s Tears very carefully alright!
After all, this senses the biological reaction of Dryad……or rather, with the provision ofits effects
If that dies, there’s nothing that can be done
It’s just……I was really surprised
That, ed……
ーーin this world, there’s really men who have the same tone huh
Maybe, within you brothers, there ht that that was me
But, you can be relieved
In the first place, I have the【Past Peek】skill! Being tricked there is an iame in the first place!!!!
I amーーno, Ossan will live on forever!!!!!!!
By the way, his true age, he said that it was 25, but I’m a real Ossan!
Well then, continue to look forward froht!
Adios!!!!!
†
ーーand just like that, Junpei let out a sigh, and frankly said
「But, 【Past Peek】huh……I wanted it for a little bit」
▼ ▼ ▼
ーーin some time, in a place somewhere, a dimension far away
That one, he is called as the treasure hunter that had reached the highest peak of dimension in the whole history
And, that one, he was also someone who had a friendshi+p with influential persons all over the world
And furthermore, that one, as a reincarnation from a different world, one who even have a unique skill
ーーIn other words, he is the one as leaving letters in every place of the labyrinth, the cheerful Ossan that was once a NEET
Returning back to the main topic
Inside the Interstice Labyrinth, in the middle of a difficult path
The floor that he reached, it was clearly different to what there was up until now
First, that floor was filled by the smell of ethanol for disinfection that is familiar to hospitals and etc
Surrounding walls, floors, and ceilings that were all white And strengthened glass
There, it was clearly not of a fantasy world, and it was a place where it would be adequate to call it as so like a modern biochemical research facility
A corridor that has only one way, the distance was so far away that around the end of it were blurry
And walls at the right side, and in the left side, strengthened glass were placed, and you can observe that side from the wall
First, what he saw first through the glass, were a capsule that has the size where one human individual could be placed inside it, one that is used for cold sleep in SFinside the fluids
Fully, without any gaps, it was a scenery as if eggs of insects were packed in one place
When he used【Appraisal Eyes】, the ones that looked like sleeping hus other than living beings, the ic tools in this facility, all of them couldn’t be appraised)
By the way, the thing called ho creature that is created fro alchemy
KatsunKatsun, the sound of his leather boots hout the corridor
When the next sight to his left side opens, there, one of the hoed in the air while inside the capsule
And, while inside the capsule where they were still sleeping, just like a coliseu type monster that is E-Rank class
Inside the room that was full of white
Kishaー, the monster that was about the size of a wolf
And, from the capsule for cold sleep that enveloped the homunculus, one line of a flash
I were lying there to its side
He, having a special skill of level estimation, could observe that the homunculus’s level raised
Was that attack done with the horammed by the machine was unclear, but the decision was it was the homunculus’s win
Without any sound, the homunculus’s capsule moved to somewhere, and the corpse of thefrom the ends of the room
And, the next horound, and was placed into a fixed position
Next, a newto inside the room
And, the monster moved towards the homunculus, and as if to repeat earlier, it was one shot by the flash
Treasure Hunter, without knowing anything, all he could do was to watch that scene
After he watched that for a while, he started to move forward silently
In the next glass , D-Rank, in the next glassto that, C-Rank, and in the next glassto that again, B-Rankthe victim by the homunculusーーprecisely, by the capsule that enveloped it
And he saw the next glass
Ho each other
「With fully automatic……it means that they can’t useup with this kind of way……huh Really……it’s sickening These homunculi, they probably were already in a cold sleep as soon as they’re born……and would never even wake up……」
Even for hier silently, and spit out as the bone in his throat
Ho the other homunculus
Both of the ho level 150
And an abnormal situation occurred on one of the homunculi
Kasha, with that sound, the capsule opened itself
Nuchari, together with fluids, one naked homunculus were thrown to the floor
That homunculus iuessed, it was forced to sleep from the time it was born, and this time, it was the first time that the homunculus woke up
Not knowing the action of standing up, the homunculus could only flutter its hands and feet on the floor where the fluids were spreading
Confusion, impatience, and anxiety
To that homunculus that showed that expression, one shot of flash from the capsule
The homunculus with its bare body became a burnt corpse, and the hoo up
And the scenery on the glass s after that, ho
However, every time he moved forward, the homunculus’s levels raised certainly
And the end of the corridor that he reached
The level of the hoht, it has exceeded 500
And, the ic circle placed in the middle of the room The homunculus inside the capsule, moved without sounds, and was placed in the middle of that
Andーーafter a blinding light, it was teleported to somewhere
「……on Claw Troupe It is said that each one of them has an atrocious special unique skill The kind of huain experience……the risk of dying must be extremely avoided And as devised there was really, even a baby could kill safely……capsule of experience points huh……really……what they’re doing is sickening」
While holding his light nausea, Treasure Hunter cal
And he placed his hand on the door knob that advances to the next floor
