110 Lesson 68: Pre-Preparedness And Bulimic Plants
People gather around the carriage, "Get Yourself On," "I\'m Ahead," and so on.
To say what the problem is, this city is somewhat further away from the rest of the city.
It will take at least two days on foot to get to the village nearest you, so it would be a little harsh if you suddenly told me to move.
Besides, I\'ve come to say that there aren\'t enough carriages for everyone to think about moving around.
The gendarmes are desperately trying to sort things out, but they\'re not big enough anyway.
The forcibly requested adventurer is also helping, but clearly it is water on the burning stone.
About half the adventurers seem to have ignored the Alliance\'s compulsion request and went for another city on foot. An adventurer would be light, and it wouldn\'t translate enough to travel for a few days, so he could take those options. There\'s barely more than B-rank, and the penalty is just a one-year freeze on adventurer credentials, not so heavy.
"Gatekeepers and gendarmes do their job well..."
"You\'re a low quality adventurer."
"So are the citizens."
"Beast lady and your lady are tough...... Well, it\'s a shame the adventurers thought they had a little more bones. As far as citizens are concerned... I don\'t know how to say this, but I think this is the case. Fewer people can act calmly in a life-threatening situation."
Maria and Tiramisu continue their relentless line on my whine, and the bald gatekeeper laughs bitterly.
"The village I know was about to be attacked by a demonic outburst (stampede), but it gave the carriage away to women, children and the old man. The adventurers had a compulsory request, but almost all of them must have been there."
It is a rice village (official name not searched) in Kastal.
Well, I wiped that stampede out...
"Wow, that village...... If you do know such a village, this city could look ugly..."
"Ma, the village is just special in a better way, and I think the reaction of this city is normal. That said, it\'s a neighboring village of Castar, so it shouldn\'t be that different..."
At least, it won\'t make that much difference in race.
"You\'re my neighbor! Hmm? You guys, you\'re from Castar? For that matter, the direction of the gate that came in is the opposite of that of Kastal..."
"That\'s not what I\'m saying. It\'s just a story about when I used to stay in Castar. The way you say it, by the way, there\'s more to it than the gate we went through. You still have that gatekeeper over there?
"There are four gates, east, west and north. The gatekeeper should still be here."
I looked at the map and there were four gates, as the bald gatekeeper said, all of which had gatekeepers left.
Gatekeepers seem to have a high work ethic. Yeah, impressive.
"We tried to stop the riot inside at first, but it didn\'t work at all... I had no choice but to give up and perform my duties as a gatekeeper."
"The gate is empty right now, but you don\'t mind that?
"Exactly. This one\'s got a higher priority, right?
"That\'s right."
The gatekeepers are also important, but they would be right to give priority to the forces of war who can solve the problem more than that.
In addition to their high work ethic, they also seem to have flexibility. Apprentice the bald gatekeepers, adventurers.
When we talked about that, we arrived in front of a larger mansion.
"Hey, we\'re here. Maybe the lord is still inside."
"In this situation?
"Sort of. Only a sense of responsibility is strong in vain. You still have citizens, but you\'re the only one who can get away with it."
I don\'t think it\'s a waste to have a strong sense of responsibility...
I think someone said that the job of a great person is two things: to decide a general policy and to take responsibility when you say you have to.
"Lord, let\'s go in!
A bald gatekeeper who proclaims aloud and then opens the door to the mansion. What if we don\'t hesitate to open the lord\'s mansion, even if it does?
Checking inside the map, most of the personnel seemed to be paying off, leaving only a few, except for the lords.
Judging by your status and all you have left is an older maid or an older butler. Looks like there are no combat personnel left.... My maid is also a combat officer.
One of the older maids came running because the bald gatekeeper opened the door.
"Mr. Joshua, what\'s wrong? Something wrong again?
"No, good news. I want these guys to meet their lords."
"... ok. This way, please."
The maid guides you through the mansion.
There\'s something about the door earlier, and I\'m guessing the bald gatekeeper is close to the lord.
"Joshua... Joshua with that face... "
"Tiramisu, hehe...... You shouldn\'t laugh..."
Tiramisu and Sakura are laughing. I know how you feel.
The name of the bald gatekeeper I ignored, but it\'s "Joshua". The name of the bald gatekeeper on the bandit-face is "Joshua". No matter how you look at it, it\'s "Joshua," even though it just looks like a "Gonzalez" or something like that.
Maria and the other demon daughters don\'t seem to know why they\'re laughing.
"I feel like they\'re thinking of something rude..."
"It\'s your fault."
Appropriate bald gatekeepers (don\'t change the way you call them).
As we know on the map, we arrived in the room where the lord is.
"My lord, Mr. Joshua is here."
"Come in..."
Against the maid knock, it was a voice that felt slightly fine coming back from the inside.
"Excuse me."
What was in the room was an unhealthy looking old man who deserved a fine voice.
I get the impression that I am very gullible because I am tall enough to reach 2m but my arms and legs are thin. My eyes are thin and I can\'t feel the hegemony. My skin is so white that I want to ask if I\'m out there.
I don\'t know what to say...... the lord serves?
"I know what you\'re trying to say. The lord is as human as he looks. I can\'t let go of my stomach medicine because I have a strong sense of responsibility..."
When I looked at the bald gatekeeper, he nodded and supplemented me.
"Joshua... That\'s a terrible thing to say..."
"I\'m sorry. But it\'s true, isn\'t it?
"Well...... But facts can hurt people more..."
I saw the two of them having quite a cheap exchange and gave them a casual hit, wondering if they were friends.
"Well, that\'s fine now."
"Are you going to introduce me to the people behind you...?
You haven\'t been introduced yet. Look at us. Lords squeal.
"Oh, anything. When these guys get rid of disaster-class demons - it\'s a story."
"Is that true...?
"Oh, did you just hear a loud explosion outside?
"I heard... No way......!?
"Whoa! It\'s their magic. It was really powerful. When I\'m a mercenary, I think it\'s a good reward..."
In the case of an adventurer, the recommended reward is determined to some extent by the request, but if the individual becomes a mercenary who receives the request, the reward will be "market value" if you say so.... You\'re scared of market value.
"A reward... 100 million gold is the limit... Can you hit me with that...?
"" Nah......!?
The maid and bald gatekeeper speak out in surprise to the lord who offered no negotiations or anything and the amount of money that could be offered is critical.
A: It\'s a fact. Excess savings are about 100 million gold, excluding living expenses, etc.
Does this mean that Alta simply presented the whole property, not really a rush?
"You idiot! Why are you suddenly offering all your wealth! Negotiate. Negotiate!
"No... if you want enough time to negotiate, I want you to crusade the demons in that time... Citizens\' anxiety and burdens are reduced for that matter..."
"Still, here\'s some more...... Oh, no more! It doesn\'t even start now!
Lords who don\'t look very competent, but I guess they are good because they can put all their wealth on without hesitation for their citizens.... Let\'s just say that\'s really a good thing.
"So, the lord\'s offering is 100 million gold. Will you take this request?
"I hope it\'s quick, but I haven\'t even heard about what kind of demon it is yet?
"Ooh!"
"You didn\'t explain..."
Bald gatekeeper slapping petin and bald head. It sounds good.
Then I heard from the lord and bald gatekeeper about Giganto Maneater, but he didn\'t get any more information than we know, so I\'ll give him a discount.
"I ask you again, will you take this request?
"Oh, let\'s take this request"
In response to Lizard Gatekeeper Take 2, I accept.
Then, I\'ll make a fine mercenary contract paperwork and pack the details of the fine contract with a few suggestions.
Mercenary contract paperwork? After Maria talked to Lucea, she just gave me something made on the Ultra Express via.
"After this, as soon as we stop by the Adventurer\'s Guild, but we\'re heading for Giganto Maneater\'s crusade"
"Adventurer Guild? What are you going to do?
When I told him of my plans for the future, the bald gatekeeper raised his doubts.
"Just in case, we\'re going to the guild to report as well. In case there\'s a crusade request or something over there, it\'s a hassle. Besides, we\'re trying to spread the word right now. It would be quicker if we talked ahead of time, wouldn\'t it?
"Operation Mysterious New Adventurer!!!" remnants. The story went smoothly, so I reason that the Adventurer Alliance was going to be placed outside the mosquito net.
I want to do temps.
"Well, if that\'s what you\'re talking about, I\'ll follow you too. If I can, I can\'t. But I\'d like to keep up with Giganto Maneater\'s crusade..."
"Stop that. To the gate, even if you come."
I firmly say no to that point. This is also one of the details of the contract that was decided earlier.
At first, the bald gatekeeper also said he wanted to accompany the Giganto Maneater crusade. Of course, I know how you feel. Still, I firmly refused to show it in my hand.
The demon daughters are limited in what they can do to be human. They\'re opponents, too, and I want to do everything I can to create a situation where I can fight them.
"I know. I\'m just saying."
Still a bald gatekeeper to say unfortunately.
"Well, I\'ll let you know. \'I want you to calm down and evacuate first because an expert in demonic exorcism has headed for the Giganto Maneater crusade\'... I don\'t know how effective..."
"Oh, I asked for it."
Even if the lord had declared it, our achievements would be somewhat public. Spread the word with the Adventurer Guild and you\'re going to get a lot of visibility.
Ask the lord to contact us and we\'ll head to the Adventurer Alliance.
The hustle and bustle all over the city is the same, but there was no one tangled up with us. I don\'t have a carriage.
It\'s only before noon now. I am set to say that the deadline for the crusade is not until this evening. Giganto Maneater is dangerous but not moving so fast in itself. Even this evening, if you leave the city, you will be able to escape in itself.
Walk the rough streets as you shrug and reach the Adventurer\'s Guild.
"Get out of my way."
That\'s what I say. A bald gatekeeper who opens the door.
Some adventurer guilds have been drinking from daytime with bad gala adventurers...... never happened. Naturally. Right now, this city is in a state of emergency.
I mean, there were very few people in the Adventurer Guild. Correction, only one receptionist existed within the guild.
"Ah, Mr. Joshua!
The receptionist girl would be a little younger than me. He comes this way from the counter shaking the twin tails of his brown hair. I have slight tears. What happened?
"Whoa, Kenny\'s lady. Will you call Gilmouth?
"That\'s..., the guild chief said he was going to the next city to call for rescue or something and took a few C-rank adventurers out in a carriage..."
"Ha!? You\'re lying!?
Amazing bald gatekeeper, but I guess that\'s natural too.
Saying \'I\'m going to the next city to call for rescue\' is not so much the wrong response if it\'s supposed to be. But that\'s not what the guild chief does, nor is it what he does when he\'s deciding to abandon the city, like this one.
In other words, the Alliance Commander fled with us first. After leaving a solid excuse......
So you can\'t even get attention by saying, \'Mercenaries specializing in demonic extermination\'?
"Then on the contrary, why is Kenny\'s lady still here?
"Because the absence of a guild leader is also a problem, I was forced to act as interim guild leader half the time -"
"What the hell!?
The bald gatekeeper screams, but I feel the same way.
Is the occupation "guild leader" such an easy thing to give away?
A: No.
Right?
"So, what did Mr. Joshua come to do? Is it something I can handle?
"Oh... these guys are going to take down a disaster-class demon. I\'m here to report it... but it doesn\'t seem to make sense"
Still, a bald gatekeeper explained to Kenny trying to serve healthy.
"Defeat disastrous demons..., defeat them?
"It may sound like a joke, but it sounds serious. I was shown some of my strengths too, but they made me think maybe."
"Could it be... was that \'rain\' earlier?
"Oh, yeah"
Surprisingly sharp.
I\'ll look this way. I\'ll ask Kenny a question.
"Kenny, was it? Is there a request to take down a disaster-class demon? If you\'ve already made a request, it\'s hard to get your hands on."
"I\'m not answering. I mean, no one can get it out. Because I can\'t imagine how much higher the reward will be. It\'s not a personal request."
By the way, they say 100 million of the rewards offered by lords are only about 20 or so examples in the past as rewards paid to adventurers (alta info). It was paid a subtle number of times, whether it was more or less.
Of course, it\'s not an individual request, it\'s a request to be a lord and a nation.
"That\'s all I need to be able to confirm. Then we will soon be heading for the Giganto Maneater crusade."
"Is that enough? Didn\'t I tell you to advertise or something?
"Here (...)?
"Oops, it was my fault..."
What the hell kind of publicity can you do with an adventurer guild with only a girl (Kenny)?
We stayed behind the Adventurer Alliance and headed with the bald gatekeeper to the gate in the direction Giganto Maneater was headed.
"Well, that\'s it for me. You shouldn\'t have to do that. If you find out you can\'t win, just run away."
"It\'s not a big opponent. I don\'t need to worry about that. Well, just take your feelings."
"Oops, see ya!
That\'s how we broke up with the bald gatekeeper and headed for Giganto Maneater\'s crusade.
Once I checked, no one seemed to follow me, including the bald gatekeeper.
He approached Giganto Maneater by walking a little, transferring in the \'portal\' where the city was no longer visible, and then flying.
"That\'s..., that\'s amazing..."
Sakura shrugged unexpectedly when she saw the sight.
I can see more clearly the anomaly of that sight when I look down from the sky. Before and after what appears to be a Giganto Maneater, there is an entirely different landscape.
There are meadows in front of Giganto Maneater and wilderness behind. You really look like a demon eating up roots.
Giganto Maneater is about 10m long and is considerably more gigantic than just a 6m maneater.
"As I heard, you\'re not moving so fast in itself."
If that thing moves fast, I\'ll be damned.
"If you\'re the one not flying in the sky, I wonder if Tyra can handle it."
Hang in there, guys.
It\'s time to check Giganto Maneater\'s status for later fun.
Giganto Maneater (fanaticism/bulimia)
LV98
Skills:
< HP Auto Recovery LV7 > < Tentacle LV8 > < Poison Attack LV8 > < Acid Attack LV8 >
Curse Mark (Curse):
< bulimia LV- >
Notes: Mad plants that prey on all living and non-living organisms.
< bulimia >
Taming becomes impossible. Makes it harder to escape. I can eat everything up.
... It\'s been a pleasure.
In the meantime, I\'m curious about two things, \'fanaticism\' and < bulimia >.
A: \'Madness\' refers to the state of the demon that has been rampant due to the influence of the Demon King. When the Demon King appears in the world, some demons\' frenzy \'is enough to say that they must.
What\'s with the demon king? Later, will the \'fanaticized\' demons be placed under the control of the Demon King?
A: Details about the Demon King\'s influence are unknown. \'Madness\' doesn\'t put you under the control of the Demon King. It\'s a hypothetical story, but even if there\'s a demon king in front of you, he attacks you without worrying. In the first place, the Demon King is the \'King of Demons\', not the \'King of Demons\'.
You mean they\'re both enemies if you look at them from humanity, but they\'re not hand in hand?
Then explain it to me next. Even so, I\'m somewhat predictable. This is the "Seven Big Sins"...
A: As you can guess, in the curse (Curse) that presides over the "Seven Great Sins," the "fanaticized" demon is given any of the seven.
It\'s pretty much what I imagined. Well, \'cause the Seven Big Sins\' is a cheap, easy-to-handle theme. And, by and large, powerful.
Well, it doesn\'t make any difference to defeat Giganto Maneater on this occasion...
Yeah, tell everyone what you\'re talking about.
A: Got it.
"You do sound like a mighty enemy. Master Jen, when I have to, I think I\'m going to go in the assistant knife, don\'t you mind?
"Oh, please"
I take note of Maria\'s suggestion, which I would have heard from Alta.
If I could, I\'d like to win with my concubines alone, without disturbing Lord Maria\'s hands.
"That\'s right. Sounds like a stronger enemy than I thought... but I\'ll try my best."
"Good luck."
The demon daughters seem to be willing to fight.
Landing on Giganto Maneater\'s path, the demonic daughters face Giganto Maneater.
Let\'s go!
All right!
"Oh."
Maple and chocolate in demonic form, and tiramisu as they remain in human form raise their voices.
By the way, non-combat members are sneaking a peek at what\'s going on from there away.
Giganto Maneater also noticed this presence and made an unheard odd noise. It did not seem to be a meaningful language, nor could it be translated by "Connect".
Giganto Maneater tries to stretch his tentacles toward the maples,
Aqua Javelin!
"Windjavelin"!
"Nah."
Maple unleashes Aqua Javelin, and Chocolate unleashes Wind Javelin. Apparently, they both liked the Javelinese magic and decided to use it as a priority.
Those who had previously been subordinated were given status and skills first, so that they could fight to some extent.
But the Demon Daughters were able to fight on quite a level originally, so they let them choose the skills they wanted.
And the two of them chose the skills of Unchanted. For two people who originally fought in magical subjects, there seemed to be no more effective skills.
I set my skill level at 5, so I would say that Javelin magic is the highest level of magic that can be played in Unchanted. That would be one of the reasons I liked the magic of the Javelin system.
So, to say what the tiramisu beside did, in a nutshell, is "stone-throwing".
Tiramisu, who can\'t use any magic, was given a Throw LV5 as a means of ranged attack.
A top-notch tiramisu, in terms of simple arm power, would be quite a threat to come up with an accurate and unparalleled throw.
Three attacks strike directly and Giganto Maneater screams (tentatively). When I looked at HP, this alone was down about 5%.
Giganto Maneater with a slight flinch, but with his tentacles straight out.
"Aquaspread"!
Windslash!
Interceptions are magic with levels that are lower than those of the Javelin system but boast a wide range of attacks. Most tentacles are shot down before they reach the demon daughters.
What do you care, Tiramisu is throwing repeatedly in this gap as well. HP is shredded about 2% at a time for each hit. By the way, the stones are stored in bulk inside.
This is going to be tough to cut.
"That\'s right. It\'s annoying.
"HP doesn\'t go down."
Maples are also attacking in a row, but Giganto Maneater has HP Auto Recovery LV7, recovering from the loss of HP.
The original HP is very expensive but the damage is hard to come by. Sounds like a pretty powerful demon. The lack of a user of Fire Magic also seems to be acting in a bad direction.
Still, I kept accumulating some damage...
Are you serious? Eating stuff from around here and HP is healing!?
"Damn, the amount of healing is getting bigger!
"I\'m so poor."
Probably the effect of my skills. Using tentacles to eat the surrounding objects, Giganto Maneater\'s HP began to recover more than ever.
This results in a higher amount of healing than the damage dealt, which is virtually no damage.
But there is no infinity with the things around us! If we keep attacking like this, one day this one will win!
"The MP will go off before then!
Shit!?
"Throwing stones is universal."
There\'s no limit to the number of stones!
"It was. "
I\'m repeating a long distance battle that lacks decision making, so I\'ll just give you a few thought-provoking advice here.
"Tiramisu. Is your main authority only to throw stones from afar?
"!... you did. Stone throwing was only one of the hand tags Me-chan Shoko I\'m going to fight close, so cover me."
Copy that!
All right!
Tiramisu stops his stone-throwing hand and runs out toward Giganto Maneater.
Naturally, the tentacles roll out toward Tiramisu, so the maple and chocolate, which are also slightly closer, strike it down.
"Ah, yabba."
But not until all the tentacles were twisted, and one tentacle tangled in Tiramisu\'s arm.
As it were, I couldn\'t attract it to Giganto Maneater...
Tiramisu\'s feet are both attached to the ground and firmly stomped.
"You\'re not so powerful."
Apparently, about one tentacle could not beat the force against Tiramisu.
Realizing it, Giganto Maneater extends his tentacles further toward Tiramisu.
I just won\'t allow it any more!
Naturally!
Maple and chocolate shooting down all the looming tentacles this time.
Now Giganto Maneater\'s mouth up there trying to set up Poison Attack and Acid Attack to weaken Tiramisu? opened.
"I won\'t let you."
Tiramisu, who grabbed a single tentacle the other way, pulls it off thoughtfully.
mouth? Giganto Maneater, who was trying to open the gap, falls straight in without stomping well.
"Do it."
"Hmm!"
Ouch!
He falls in, turns to Giganto Maneater, who can no longer eat what\'s around him, and knocks the attack all the way down here.
The size of the area allows for maple and chocolate to hit the magic elsewhere while Tiramisu sets up a melee.
Tiramisu is slamming a kick in with his strawberry pants fully open, talking about him because he can\'t help but kick the most powerful weight and aggression on board.
Gallic and HP shredded Giganto Maneater. The movement suddenly grew more intense where HP cut 30%.
Just like the man eater who fought in Queen Castar, I guess the loss of HP put him in a fierce mode. The demons around me came by then...
"There\'s no way you\'re coming... The surrounding demons are eaten by Giganto Maneater himself...... It won\'t do you any good without someone to call..."
Yes, Sakura is right, the surrounding demons are in the stomach of the obvious Giganto Maneater (metaphorical representation).
The furious mode is not functioning as if.
"Apparently, you had a fight. Looks like I didn\'t even have to leave. It was brilliant."
Oh, my God!
If we were talking about that, Giganto Maneater\'s HP went to 0.
I won!
Victory for the concubines!
"All right."
We\'re getting closer to our three daughters who are going to raise their wings.
"Congratulations. Well done."
"It was brilliant"
"Congratulations...... They were all amazing..."
Uh-oh!
"Had it not been for Honey\'s advice, it would have been tough."
"Um, the concubines are still immature."
"Right. It was a failure to stick to a long shot."
Maple and Chocolate, back in human form (naked), look back at the battle while wearing clothes.
"Well, we team up and it\'s still short. We just have to find a way to fight what we see ourselves doing."
That\'s what I\'m talking about.
"Uhm."
"Good luck."
Thus ended the crusade of Giganto Maneater by the Tiramisu.
Well, it\'s just the end of the story after...
