Chapter 74 (1/2)

RAW: Editor: KuroAgeha-sama

The last ti I can’t even sit straight on my chair and I could barely look at my phone screen

Since I recovered enough, I can go back translating Luckily, I didn’t puke all over my keyboard

Sorry for the wait and please enjoy chapter 74

Before we part ways, I wanted to do a last adventure with the previous boy group

(TL: 元少年班 roup” doesn’t mean all the members are boy Elemia is not a trap)

Yes, I've asked ly, Julia-kaasan opposed the idea

“Children o on quests alone” she said

Of course, I argued since Eleh to hold on their own She said that you are stealing from mayonaizeshrimp

「ーStill no It’s not about level, she said it’s all about knowledge and experience Like how a monster would move and attack No, even before that, we need to be able to judge how dangerous theto erous erous at all」

Julia-kaasan told me about a monster called Acid Slime for an example

Acid Sliular slime Only experienced adventurers can identify them

Anyway, Acid Sli acid to their prey

It is said that every year there are ular Slime

「I don’t really ot serious injury it won’t becoht?」 Julia-kaasan added

Well, it was a good reason

「Even though I can ask Moria to acco babysit by soht, how about you ask Chester?」

For that reason, I promised to ask Chester-niisan to accompany us He said that he will reconsider if I let Eleht

Therefore, the 7 uel, Beck, Donna, Chester-niisan, and me

An adventurer party doesn’t have any limit for their member, but most party has 4-6 members so we have a bit surplus However since Chester-niisan won’t interfere unless it’s too dangerous for us, practically we have 6 members

We made a simple formation and dived into the forest near Fauno City

This forest is also known as 【Newbie Forest】 by the members of Adventurer Guild They said that only basic monsters spawn here and all of their levels are low

Since our level was unsatisfactory and we lacked both knowledge and experience, this is an ideal place for us

After 15the forest, Donna finally broke the silence

「I can smell slimes There are a lot of them」

While suppressing Miguel, as trying to rush right into it, we head towards the source of the smell We found the slimes without any trouble

It was hard to count those soft and flabby bodies but there must be at least 200 of them

Slime

According to 『Abaddon Magic Compilation』

It is known as the weakest monster

Even though they don’t posethe creature First of all, there is no clear anshether sli creature Since they have attributes, it’s possible that they are created froy However, there are no actual record of anyone witnessed a sliicians from ancient times could spawn slimes anytime and used them for various purposes

Sliic research, howeverenvironment and ruin the sli e and hypotheses related to funda a slistock

I think the researchers who focused too stock

(TL: need help here Slimeは魔法学の研究対象としては非常に興味深い存在であるが、Slime自体の弱さが災いして、Slimeの研究者は周囲から蔑ろにされがちな傾向がある。)

In short, sliel that even rookie adventurer can hunt without problem

Forget 『Abaddon Magic Co dictionary has to say

「Melby, do you know anything about the slimes ?」

I asked about Melby about these squirel in front of us

「According to Master, Sliy That’s why they can be found almost everywhere around Marquekt」

「Jellied? So they’re not alive ?」

「It depends on how do you classify a so as “alive” You can say that they are in a state between spirit and living creature Normal slimes are usually harory in the ecosystem

But as Julia-san said, some variant can trap other animals and monsters so we need to be careful Especially if they are violent, they can stalk and kill their own prey」

I tried using 【Appraisal】 on a random slime

《Slime Level：１、ＨＰ：５／５、ＭＰ：８／８、Attribute：Water》

Frolance, I think there were no acid sli

「The easiest way to deal with sli attribute

ーNow look Spirit of fire, e flames!」

Melby attacked the sliic】

The spirits set the slime on fire

After a few seconds, the slime made a damp sound and disappeared into thin air

「That sli it with fire attributeattribute, it disappeared into thin air」

「Ed, you can use 【Appraisal】 to quickly distinguish theeneral way as well Look over there, do you see the traces that slime crawled on?」

「Correct If the slime has water attribute, the place they crawled on will be wet If it’s fire attribute, it should be dry or burning If it’s wind attribute, there are wind patterns around theround is softer」(TL: softer/fluffier/mushi+er)

Thanks to Melby’s attack, the slimes were focused towards us

…iya, I didn’t realize because I saw theer】, so it’s no doubt that ere the target

「Ω Gaia」

I used 【6 Basic Attribute Magic】 to generate soil andattacked a wind attribute slime

The sli sound and dissipated

It’s like when you put so

Or when I slauel

「How can we kill them eapons?」

「I’ll show it for you! ーttei! yaaah!!」

Miguel ju the nearest slime with his fists

Miguel hit it a fewsound

「Hey Miguel, don’t forget to collect the manastones」

Beck reuel

Following Beck’s line of sight, so near the slime

Manastone

It’s a pearl like lumps on monster’s body, usually near it’s throat

Manastones grows gradually from the time the monster was born, so if you look at the e

What is this? A gallstone?

In allstones fro about mine ever since

On very oldand create so the explanation made me feel uncomfortable

About these manastones, they don’t actually have much use

Even though it’s called “mana”stone, it can’t store mana, so it can’t be used as mana battery It’s also a proof that you are a dick and a thief

However, since it’s a convenient proof that you defeated a uilds will buy the ation

(TL: to any of you who don’t understand, they used ation quest instead of oblin ears)

As expected from trained assassins, we exterminated the slimes quickly

Suddenly I noticed so slimes

「…Maybe」

I caught a wind attribute slime and hit it with earth attribute slime

Everyone stopped and looked at me

Everyone but Donna, as stripped naked by 5 slime with their squishy tentacles

「Ed, what are you doing?」

「Iyaa, since sliht they would disappear if I hit the attribute」

It feels like solving a collapse puzzle (TL: exaebob Collapse, and sigh Candy Crush)

After the discovery, our slime-exterroup of 200 slimes in about 10 minutes

Obviously, there were no injuries

「Niisan, does sliether like this?」

……Maa, looking at the situation before, I think we sould be fine」

Just as he ended his sentence, he looked at the forest with vigilance

Then I heard hyuuuuuu sound like a kettle

「un!? Be careful!There are eye-pokes inco!!」(TL: Mezashi+)

Chester-niisan gave us a warning

Mezashi+? Dried sardine? In a forest? (TL: mezashi+ is roasted sardine)

I realized the next instant

Soreat speed

「《Mad Bull Stance》!!」

Beck stood in front of everyone and increased his defense

「《Stronghold Fortress》!」

I【Uninscribed Invocation】

It’s the co firedrake

dogadogadogadoga

Intense sound was heard and so slammed into Beck or the wall

It was birds

The beak was thin and very long Just the beak alone occupy half of it’s body length Meanwhile the body was a bit bigger than a sparrow but less than crows It has shi+ning red eyes and bizarre looking tongue between it’s beak

The bird flew in high speed and attacked us

「It’s an eye-poke bird They’re faer if you cal on where they hit you, the wound could be fatal As the naets the eye butー」

He stopped and observed the fallen eye-pokes

The eye-pokes see and they twitched on the ground

「If you block them with a shi+eld, they will knock themselves like this It’s easy to earn ht before attacking so it’s not hard to notice them」

While saying so, niisan took a dagger from his waist and stabbed an eye-poke

「It’s a nice job for part-time adventurer and some of the the experience They’re not very tasty but at least they are edible」

「There are so slack seasons About half of new registration in the guild are from part-time adventurers」

So

「……okay everyone Have you noticed?」

My older brother looked around and said so

Of course we noticed

Not only Elemia with her excellent ability as a scout, but Donna had【Keen Hearing】 and Miguel was also talented in detecting signs despite his appearance

Beck is the only one who didn’t notice it It’s not that he’s insensitive, it’s just the other members are overly sensitive

「All of Ed’s friends sure are excellent It feels like I et overtaken soon」

Niisan shrugged and took a step towards the back

It’s a sign that he was going to support from backrow

The slimes extermination could be done like puzzle and the eye-poke birds were sla about our power

Right here, the perfect opponent appeared

「ーMore than 20 goblins, about 20 orcs, and about 15 evil dogs」
