Vol 12 Chapter 226 (1/2)
Bandelphia
After arriving in Cartaffs, we iot on the move
The Guild requested we meet up with the adventurers sent to the site beforehand, thea shop not used by the local Guild, and rarely used by adventurers
Even if they ary of the local adventurers, it was a method, I couldn’t find in myself to praise
Anyways, if they cae if they had information on Cartaffs’ queen
Larc had a skill to manipulate women to his will No, a charm Skill Because of that, it would be best to simply consider women to be our enemy for now
Cartaffs didn’t look any different from e last stopped by, but with the Skills… Map and Search… I could confirm a number of red responses around
Syste down the streets, ent over today’s plan
“Today, we’ll go right ahead, and enter the designated shop After receiving intel there, we’ll think over how to deal with it thereon”
After telling ‘everyone’, I walked ahead, and took the lead
Behind age, ad the convenience of the Box Skill
“You could use a Skill like that? It’s plainly hella convenient You put away everyone’s luggage and all”
I spoke at a level audible to the surroundings
“Ahaha, it’s got a heavy Mana expenditure, so I don’t use it often Because of it, I can’t usein a party”
I could sense a nu around And it doesn’t see
Erhart looked at his comrades
“Oy, wouldn’t it be best we get someone to pick up a Support Class Skill?”
When he said that, they shook their heads
“If you could choose what you got, ouldn’t be going through such troubles But it’s true Support is nice I’d be happy if I got a sih”
There, Da three ure drew quite some attention
“How about you think of it as a party so a Skill because you’re jealous, you know It’s important to think over what you want, but it’s also important to knohat role you carry in the party”
While I thought it was exceedingly rare for Da
“Looks likefun”
“We’re getting so much more data on this trip”
“This scene shall certainly be preserved in our databanks for all eternity”
As always, I couldn’t say for sure what they were talking about But there was no doubt Damien had enjoyed this boat trip as well
Maksim-san also addressed Erhart’s party
“It’s also been said Skills are influenced by the desire at the depths of your heart While I’ic one There was a tiot what I did”
Erhart crossed his arht
“That in ot mine ay back, so I can’t really say why”
Damien looked at Erhart, as he leaned his staff over his shoulder
“You find theely adaptable to Skills Rather, humans overly compatible with their Skills, I’d say”
I also gave so to Skills
“Well, just i as you have, and you’ll get it eventually Once you have a Skill in your hands, you need only polish it”
Erhart’s comrade looked at us enviously
“All the guys with Skills say so more specific here”
Erhart spoke to him
“Isn’t that e’re saying!? I wanna be strong Make that wish, keep training, and you’ll get it”
Maksim-san touched his left hand to his forehead
“… If that was enough to comprehend it, ouldn’t have our troubles”
I spoke
“You could go to the Guild’s library or so, and research what sort of Skills are out there before you iine the one you want It’s… quite effective, I hear”
Having an i a body capable of using it
If you learned one, your body would have changed to use it Getting rid of it, or changing it later was fundamentally impossible
As ere talking, we arrived at the planned shop In it, loads of red responses were gathered together, and a little away, a few more were present
Stopping in front of the store, I took a deep breath
“… Shall we go in?”
Saying that, I hardened my resolve

… The detached force stationed at the base near the Labyrinth
There, having entered the surrounding woods, Miranda led Eva along
Eva was knowledgeable when it caive nice advice
But ah, they had confir them
“That should do it”
After Miranda set the trap, Eva looked over it, and tilted her trap
“A trap like that will be seen through in no tier by profession like me would notice it, and if there’s an elf who’s lived by hunting through the forests, they’ll see through it at a glance”
Eva didn’t hide that there were elves eable on the woodlands than she Her tribe was one who had abandoned the forest to travel civilization, after all Compared to the elves who hailed from the woods themselves, she are of how clearly her abilities fell short
Hearing that, Miranda
“That’s fine We’re just trying to say, we have traps over here More importantly, the problem is how this area’s turned into a forest”
It was a terrain the Valkyries couldn’t fight well on If they got in some experience, they would be able to deal with it to an extent, according to Damien
But compared to adventurers who’d piled up their experience up to now, they were evidently lacking
Eva looked around
“There were lots of monsters here, so it was dreadful how preparations fell behind Coht noho do you think has it worse?”
There were less nureater numbers, Miranda understood they would send their own in proportion
“With greater numbers, it may be harsher over here”
From the information they had received, scope-wise, there was one ade of five hundred And one Labyrinth specialized adventurer party of a hundred Other than that, a number of parties, some tens in size
A thee one carrying out adventurer work solo, but that also h power to do so
A seldom-found monster of an adventurer, and for parties below her par, she had the strength to wipe them out by herself
Having the East Branch Adventurer Marina becoh
“Good grief, Lyle sure gives some impossible orders”
Lyle’s order It was one of extreh difficulty
Eva looked at her
“Did you say so?”
“Just talking to myself On to the next one There are still some traps we have to set by the end of the day”
Guided around by Eva, Miranda proceeded through the forest…

… Gathered were seven hundred and ten And including the soloist Marina, seven hundred and eleven
A istic support specialists, and the ones to truly attack Lyle’s re the Labyrinth were two hundred at most
As if they were starting a war, the ade erected tents, and invited the other adventurers in
The Labyrinth-specialized adventurers also gathered, truly giving off the feel of a small military force
What’s more, they were capable adventurers of Beim Even if their air was flippant, they exuded a somewhat sharp atmosphere
Within that gathering, Marina say over a pile of crates She was tall, and while her ruffled, black hair wasn’t loss
Her trained arms could be seen under her rolled-up sleeves Her hand held an ale flask, and she brought that to heron around
It wasn’t that she loved being alone Being in the midst of this sort of ruckus wasn’t too bad either
But…
“Good grief, too worked up today to know if I’ll sleep tonight”
She had worked in Beiistered at was the East Branch, and after that, transferring was a pain, so she si there
Invited by parties a nu to test it out But it hadn’t been right for Marina
She loved battle
The Skill passed down, generation to generation had accusto the peculiar
