Volume 5 Chapter 64 (1/2)

Chapter 64 - Foe

I painfully vohastly scene

I couldn't resist the welling up discomfort

It was a scene that I had seen several times, but I was still astonished that there would be this e in huaze was turned toward a right ar down on the floor

The ancestors harped on callingme like this

Not because I vomited

……I, couldn't kill the enemy

The Second sounded dissatisfied

『Lyle, why do you hesitate?』

The adventurers who came to attack us had run away Only those I defeated were still re

The man named Zalsa whose hand I severed had also escaped to somewhere

「……I couldn't do it」

I wouldn't be troubled like this if I understood the reason I hesitated thedown htly

Because of that, the opponent lost his right arm but……

The Third was exasperated

『Lyle, you have to do it when it's time You should know that the price for this failure will be high』

The ancestors didn't hesitate when they decided to kill huh their sense of values and era differed from each other……it seemed they had the same conviction only in this

The Fourth looked at the surrounding and decided what should be done after this

『Burn their belonging, and then there is also other materials put behind at the nearby room Let's destroy that too』

The Fifth was coh that they will ask for help fro at us in desperation』

The Sixth sounded bored

『It will be easier to destroy theirl

Someone like Shannon was still a child I didn't want to show her this kind of sight

It seemed that the ancestors also didn't want to show Shannon this sight

The Seventh talked with a tone that

『They're running around inside this dungeon where , without any decent equipment or supply Now then, I wonder just how many idiots will be able to reach their comrades』

The Fourth concluded the opinions

『Then, let's go to their supply storage area Fortunately it's right nearby Porter was in the way so they couldn't take the supply in their escape, let's dispose theot into Porter, thenkept their supply stored

It was really a big help that Shannon and Poyopoyo told me various information like the enemy's position and so on

Just like the ancestors said, I didn't need any Art from the start

I arrived at the room without any hitch and discovered the supply

There was also no guard

I pointed my hand toward the piled up supplies

I created a fire ball and then fired it toward the supplies Fire scattered and burned the supplies

The Second was calo back It will be stupid if they co while you aren't there and Noveot harmed』

The Seventh sounded really refreshed

『If they have the guts to co then we only need to just attack the down the enemy's leader It's important to destroy the head』

I returned to Porter and returned to the location of Nove

──Zalsa wrapped the right hand that he lost with cloth

He stopped the bleeding and finally returned in order to recover their supplies But there he fell on his knees

His left hand was holding a sword that he took away from his comrade

In front of him, water and food──and then important supplies had been reduced to ash

His other comrades rushed to the supplies and checked, but they only learned that there was alht arm that he lost

「That shi+tty brat……don't fuck withup

He lost the majority of his co coe carrier ere re

Even if they had the fund to buy supplies and equipments to replace what they lost, it wouldn't be that easy to replace the comrades that were lost

In addition he lost his dominant arm

From here on it would take several years to form a party in the same scale like before if he did it in a nore even if it took ten years

「You……you ive you bastard!」

The blood rose to his head, but Zalsa thought about froeon with just us I can only ask Benir to pick us up If we deal with that noble brat──Ludhor, we'll have soet stronger again and then next time I'll kill that shi+tty brat for sure)

When he thought until that far, there was a sound of a group approaching the room

「Monster at this kind of time?」

He held his weapon and took a stance, but he found the figure of Benir there shouldering his hammer

「Benir! Yo, mate!」

Zalsa found hope in this situation and smiled

Benir approached

「Your co here, we found you in a really terrible situation like this huh, Zalsa Who the hell do you think will have to clean up after you?」

Zalsa wanted to retort back at Benir's highhanded attitude, but right now his position was overwhelly weaker

「My bad, Benir That shi+tty brat is unexpectedly strong」

「I don't wanna hear any excuse」

Benir held up the hammer he shouldered

「Be, Benir?」

Zalsa's face cra frouys, decide whether to die here or to follow me Those on't obey──」

Zalsa tried to run away, but he ounded and also had no sta able to run away from Benir's hammer, his head was crushed

「You'll end like this」

Everyone swore to follow Benir

Benir stroked his beard

「Zalsa, I've hated you since a long tientle coht people huh Well, theabout it You guys, from today I's was increased stroke his beard and thought about from here on

「Now then, Zalsa is a shi+tty bastard but, his strength is the real thing For someone to defeat him, this is troublesome」

The careful Benir also took into consideration about withdrawing for a ht to report to their client Ludhor for now──

I met up with Novem and others They orried whether I ounded

「Lyle-saht away!」

The worried Novem came to strip off my clothes

I didn't even have any spirit to resist, but right I wanted to be just left alone

「I, I'oing to do if the eneht away」

Poyopoyo was exasperated

「I don't find any external wound on chicken dickwad」

However Novenored her and moved to checkht by yourself! Do you not believe us?」

I didn't kno to answer that, but then Novelared at the two of them

「Please stay quiet for now」

The tere overwhel wet towel for me then

「Isn't it better to let him rest for now? Besides, your usual composure cannot be seen you know──Novem」

Novem's hand stopped

From inside the Jewel, unreliable voices that were unlike before came

『I wish Mirandchan will hold back a bit』

『H~ht beto hurt? We're just a h I have no body my stomach is……』

『……I think this is because Noveh everything is Mileia's great granddaughter fault』

『……Well, it will be better for Lyle to rest for now He is also tired after all』

I didn't feel tired physically

But, it was hard for my mind

「Novem, I'm not injured so it's fine I want to rest for now」

Novem looked at my face and felt down

「Is, that so What about the meal?」

「Impossible I don't want to eat」

I would just vomit even if I ate

Just what in the world this revolting feeling was?

Novem really looked worried for me She stayed at eted Lyle

Ludhor was sitting on the supplies that were piled up He was looking down on tre adventurers like they were trash

「These trashes Who do you think you're talking to?」

The corpses of Benir and several of his coaze

The reason other adventurers were shaking was because Ludhor used ician, not just in Bahnseidom but also in other countries

They obtained authority because they possessed the rare power that was ic produced a clear difference of strength between those who had it and those who hadn't

The corpses of Benir and others were scorched

Even though they had th than Ludhor, they were killed too quickly in front of

This kind of real dealthe acadeoing to do with the rest?」

Ludhor didn't treat his friend like a trash or felt irritated to hiician

「It'll be good to erase theive them if they work for me It's the fact that I want pawns I can use in Aruood idea It's inconvenient relying solely to our house after all」

「It's also interesting to hire the surviving bunches You guys, work like your life depends on it」

Ludhor and his friends roared with laughter Near thehters that the houses of Ludhor and his friends sent here

But, Ludhor recalled the report from the adventurers

「Even so, the adventurers who I heard are strong are just sot done in by ed

「You expect tooto wait here to attack theh this place where they aiting

It would be the easiest to aiht for a bit

「……Let's see If possible I want to watch an interesting show」

Ludhor looked down at the tre

The two leaders of the malicious adventurers had died and at the end only Ludhor as a noble reroup, the adventurers were told to kill each other

Ludhor and others looked even round dungeon──

The night passed

Poyopoyo as standing guard the whole night hit a fry pan with a ladle to wake up everyone

「It'sPlease wake up H~ood! The weather cannot be seen at all though!」

I looked at Poyopoyo whose tension was high right fro and took the book that I used as pillow

It was a book about nae and yawned My feeling after waking up was the worst

I just felt bad

I didn't understand whether I was sleeping or awake

The feeling ofhued oodShall I wipe your body?」

When I noticed I had been sweating a lot while sleeping

「Yeah, please do」

Usually the ancestors inside the Jeould be coht now, but they were silent

Nors like 'How can youlike this~', but today they were silent fro a bucket

「Lyle, I have hot water prepared ”I” ipe your body for you」

It felt like she was stressing her tone when she said I, but the ood fro

Novem looked at Miranda and she see, but she stood up and smiled at me

「Then, I will start the breakfast preparation」

I said 「Yeah」 to the back of Nove my body

With a small voice,

「I woke up Shannon and asked her to check the surrounding but, it looks like there is no sign of people」

It seemed she woke earlier than me and checked the area

When I looked at Shannon, she looked sleepy

「I've troubled you」

Mirandsan laughed

「It's no trouble You've worked hard yesterday, and?」

Mirandsan urged roup that was thinking to attack us

「They're a party that is used to attack adventurers It looks like they still have other comrades, but they weren't at floor B27 so I think they were at the higher floor I burned their supplies, so those who escapedup with their comrades」

Mirandsan nodded several tiood if they obediently withdraw They'll also need water and food for the people they rescued, so I think they ithdraw」

If the number of people increased, the amount of food and water consumed would also increase by that much

The more people they saved, the more they would constrict their own neck

「It seeuild card, so let's check it out when returning to the surface Our constrained living h」

Mirandsan smiled

「It can't be helped We'll endure that if we can be safe with that More importantly Lyle……about the next floor boss, can you leave it to led closer to ht have wiped herself, I smell a faint scent of soap

『Mirandchan, how should I say it, she's properly on the attack isn't she』

Rather than calling her proactive, he ressive

The Third said so like that

Clarsan and Shannon were inside Porter

The other got down and held up metal board

Poyopoyo created the shi+elds to defend against the light bea to Poyopoyo it was called ”laser”

Sophisan held the shi+eld and said

「Somehow it feels unreliable」

It was created thinly to lighten the weight It would dent if it was hit normally It seemed that it was painted with some kind of paint that would block the laser that was fired by the cylinder object that was the floor boss

Poyopoyo carried two shi+elds

「What a rude person In the first place against that cylinder pillar even a thick one will be pointless」

The cylinder pillar that was as wide as two adults and threeextremely heavy

Such heavy boss that was called as cylinder pillar was floating unsteadily Even adult would be crushed if they got tackled by it

The shi+eld would be useful enough as long as it blocked the laser that was fired frole eye

Arisan held a shi+eld and looked at Mirandsan

「You will really do it alone?」

Mirandsan showed the knives and tools hanging on her waist

「It'll be enough with just these Protecthappen okay, Lyle?」

Nove appeal at just me

The Second muttered with a subdued tone

『Somehow Novem-chan feels scary since yesterday』

The Second, the Third, and the Fourth were kind to Novem, but the Fifth the rest were kind to Mirandsan and Shannon

Even though normally the Fifth would be disinterested, today only he sees

『……Isn't Miranda better than Nove Lyle too nore that and objected

『Novem-chan who sold her dowry and devoted herself to Lyle isn't worthy for hio』

The opinions split inside the Jewel and a quarrel started, but I ignored them and talked to Mirandsan

「Please don't force yourself too much」

Mirandsan smiled and replied

「Just watch It's not just Aria and others who have worked hard」

Floor B30

We were standing by in front of the boss roo shi+eld went ahead Mirandsan and Porter were following frole eye of the cylinder pillar

Sophisan blocked it

「The, the light──the laser really get stopped!?」

The shi+eld certainly had fulfilled its role The laser that was fired froot stopped

Mirandsan rushed out fro toward the boss

Arisan ran in order to cover Mirandsan

「Clay? What's the use of soular clay the size of a pal the boss and stuck on its surface

「No, that's──」

Nove, but Mirandsan explained first

「That's not just a clay If I do this──be careful to the light and sound」

Mirandsan threw a knife that stabbed into the clay sticking on the boss

Right after that, the clay shi+ned and exploded

「Heh!?」

When I noticed, the boss was rotatingon the wall

When it fell on the floor, Mirandsan threw a clay block once h as expected Its weak point is……here perhaps」

She said that and threw a clay block on the boss's eye Then she threw a knife again at it

When the clay was stabbed, it e boss was bloay

The explosive sound echoed inside the roo astonished at the sound resounding to

Poyopoyo approached the boss

「……It stopped functioning」

Mirandsan turned toward us

「This is the second tiht that it would be simple to defeat it if I do this, still it's nice that it ell」

The Sixth was dumbfounded

『Do, don't tell ety

『What power Besides that clay! In that shape it's easy to carry it around It cannot be compared with a toy like burst arrow!』

The Seventh who loved explosive was excited and full of interest toward the clay

I approached Mirandsan

「Don't tella lot of that clay? I, it won't explode or anything right?」

Mirandsan guessed my worry and showed to me her special knife

「I made it so the explosion will occur when it's combined with this knife Well, it's troublesome because it's handmade so I can't prepare a lot」

It see back, I met horrible experience because of this person's explosive

The Seventh's excitenificent As expected frohter of aunt!』

The Sixth sounded inarticulate Perhaps he had co

『O, oi Stop it Youmaniac Don't confuse her with you』

His re maniac, but I looked at the cylinder pillar that was a floor boss s inside the room

Clarsan caic stone and materials」

Shannon also came down Hesitantly, she touched the cylinder pillar that Mirandsan defeated

「This is a strange creature It's like it's not alive」

Certainly the inside wasn't biological but mechanical

It seeeon, but still what a mysterious floor boss

「With this I can use Arts──」

Was it alright for it to be this easy? I recalled everything until now and thought that it was unexpectedly anti-climactic Suddenly Poyopoyo pushedso suddenly!」

The sight I sahen I turned around after getting pushed aas──the sight of Poyopoyo with her back turned on ht away flame burst out from the spots that were stabbed by arrow, and then ice enveloped Poyopoyo's body and it cracked Wind and electricity blew violently, in addition ic were fired to attack me one after another

Poyopoyo became my shi+eld and blocked all of that

Her usual screwing around figure wasn't there, she ignored et away and stood before ic stopped, it became silent like it was a dreaaze toward the entrance, but I couldn't tear off aze from Poyopoyo's back

「Oi, Poyopoyo!」

I ran toward Poyopoyo There Poyopoyo was standing with both her hands protecting her head

「──Yo, you, why?」

Her left ar fros with polished metallic color could be seen

She was mostly battered except the head that she protected

Her prided twintail was also scorched and messed up Her maid uniform that she said was the only outfit she needed was also a mere shadow of its former self

Poyopoyo's skin was the sa from her body was also red, but her inner structure was undoubtedly mechanical

She was an autoe if she died instantly in this state

「You──why did you protectwhile she totteringly answered

「What're you saying? Chicken dickwad is──oshujin-sama I'll protect you at the risk of my life After all I'm……a maid」

Poyopoyo said that and becaht her body and hugged her close

At that ti applause

「A love between autoood This is the funniest thing I've seen recently」

Beside the se There were seven guards in black clothes protecting them

And then behind the to block the entrance

I was fa theuards in black were clearlydifferently from the adventurers They must be the elites

Mirandsan who held her weapon in ready watched sharply

「……Ludhor, why are you here?」

Seeing that he was Mirandsan's acquaintance, he must be an acadeed Poyopoyo as unable to move

The ly smile

「Miranda, I'm really sad If only you're a bit smarter, it would be only natural that you choose me Both of us are fellow capital noble raised in the royal capital Both of us aren't stranger to each other」

Mirandsan htly uessed that and stood in front of Shannon

Arisan stepped forward to protect the two of the weapon while looking scared

Around the young ic arroere floating

All the arrowheads were pointed at ritted my teeth

I recalled the words of the ancestors

The 『price』 that the Third mentioned, I couldn't help but feel that it wasn't directed atus?」
