When I got down to the second basement floor, there was no reaction from the enemy on the radar, but just in case, I'll look around and check if there is any danger.
"Hmm ... there is a trap near the wall on the left, but you don't have to worry because you're going to the passage on the right. Miharu-chan, Aid instructor, are you ready?"
"This is always fine!"
"... Miharu is okay too"
"OK, I'll move on!"
Miharu seems to be dissatisfied, but I say so to Aid and start walking down the aisle on the right side, but I have a question here.
Come to think of it, the enemy encounter rate is lower than when I came before. Even if you measure the distance by comparing the position of the enemy with the radar on the map, there are only 3 to 4 enemies 30m away from where you are.
Moreover, since I'm off the road I'm on now, I'm sure I won't meet, but I'm curious.
"······I do not understand"
"I don't know. What's wrong with Elleina?"
"I feel like there are fewer monsters than when I came before. Did some party beat me?"
"... maybe"
Well, it's good to be able to proceed easily, but ... I'm worried if I can only see it on the radar.
"It's not because you're lucky. You should be comfortable with it, right?"
"... That's true. Turn right here."
I think they both know it, but just in case, point your finger at the passage on the right side.
"Is there a staircase down there?"
"Yeah, if you go down this road, you'll hit a T-junction. If you go on the left, you'll find stairs."
"Huh, I'm jealous of knowing that your abilities are real."
Let's not worry about Miharu-chan's sickness. If you say something
"Um, it looks like we'll arrive earlier than the scheduled arrival time."
"Is that so?"
"caution! Detects the approach of multiple dangers. There is a possibility of an enemy "
that? There is an enemy where I wasn't there before. I didn't feel like I moved here. Than that!
"Three enemies are coming from the front!"
"Oh!"
"I understand!"
After a short wait, you can see three wolf running towards us.
These guys are quick but easy to beat so don't worry.
First, aim at the wolf at the front and shoot her ORIGIN-12, and you'll be crazy! ?? Rolls on the floor with a cry.
Next, aim at the wolf on the right side and shoot, and it will roll to the floor without making any noise and will not move. I think he died instantly. When I aimed at the last wolf, it started to show unexpected movements.
"Seriously?"
The last remaining wolf comes toward us, jumping sideways to the left and right with a movement that seems to make repeated side jumps.
No matter how much you move, you can't aim even with a shotgun that spreads a wide range of bullets.
When I turned my body toward the wolf that was flying sideways from side to side, I took my hand off ORIGIN-12 and pulled out the Karambit knife that was sitting on my waist.
Attract more ... Attract more ...
"Gurua !!"
Now! !!
For the wolf who jumps up and attacks while exposing his fangs, slide a knife around his neck and insert it, and at the same time grab the wolf's hair with his right hand.
"Gee !?"
"Hmm !!"
Roll as it is, release your right hand when you take the mount position, and pull out the JERICHO941PSL from the holster. Pan! Pan! And shoot three shots.
"... OK!"
Upon confirming that he was dead, he put the JERICHO 941PSL in a holster, pulled out the Karambit knife stuck in his neck, and then left the wolf.
"Are you okay, Elleina !?"
"It's okay, it's intact. I just got a little blood back."
I got wolf blood on my clothes, but I can't help doing that.
"Well, when Wolf jumped at you, my liver got cold."
"I'm sorry to worry. I had to do that to defeat Wolf, so I did something a little crazy."
"... I hope I'm not injured. But in that moment I often put a knife in Wolf's throat.
It's not something you can usually do. "
"Well, I knew that Wolf was about to jump at my left shoulder, so I was able to respond.
Well, it was difficult to match the timing of jumping. really"
"No, it's not explained. I knew where Wolf was aiming ... I don't care if it's okay anymore."
Wow, I'm amazed. Should I have thought about how to say it a little more?
With that in mind, wipe the blood on Karambit, turn it into a holster, and then replace the ORIGIN-12 magazine.
Then I tried to recover the magic stone from the nearest wolf, but I noticed that something was covering the magic stone.
"Hmm? Why is the fur falling?"
"I'm lucky to get the wolf's fur !! Even if I say that, it's a probability that I'll defeat five bodies and get one fur, so it's delicate whether I'm lucky or not."
Hmm ... I have no use for this wolf's fur.
"Well, that's it. It's yours, so you can process it yourself and use it, or you can bring it to a general guild or store and sell it."
"... I have no choice but to sell it. Sto, it closes in the item box."
Dangerous, I almost called storage!
Lift the wolf's fur and store it in storage with the magic stone.
"What !? You can even store Wolf's fur ... What's the capacity of your item box!"
"Miharu-chan, my item box is more than double the capacity of a normal person, so I can put in one or two wolf furs.
It is easier to understand that the standard of capacity for general item box skills is the size of the bag.
The bigger the bag, the more things you can put in it, but if you don't keep it organized regularly, you'll have to look for tools, so it seems necessary for those who have item box skills.
After that, even though the capacity of the item box is full, if you try to store things forcibly, the stored items will scatter as if a volcano erupted and will be scattered around, so it seems that you should be careful about the capacity.
"Ah !? Wait a minute !!"
"What?"
"Who are you ... Who are you really !?"
Looking back, he begins to say while staring at Miharu-chan's face with a smile.
"Huh, it's an ordinary girl ~"
I started walking toward the stairs below, but I heard Miharu-chan walking fast from behind. Maybe I'm angry.
"Hey! It's not an explanation!
Miharu-chan, who tried to squeeze into me, was grabbed by Aid instructor.
"Don't pursue further"
"Why !? Why stop Miharu! You're worried!"
"Oh, I'm curious too ..."
"Well! Then talk."
"Do you think that you, like a red stranger, will answer when you pursue Elleina?"
"That's that ..."
"What do you think?"
As Instructor Aid stared at Miharu-chan, she began to move her eyes from side to side in a frightened manner.
"... I don't think he will answer."
"That's right. Don't pursue it anymore."
"······Do you get it"
"Okay, I'll follow Elleina."
"······Yup"
To persuade Miharu-chan, who seems to be out of control, is a former Knights Aid instructor.
"T-junction soon?"
"What's wrong? Elleina?"
"There is a wooden box in front of me, is it someone's forgotten thing?"
When I pointed at the wooden box in front of me, Mr. Aid said ah ~. While saying that, he has a convincing face.
"Maybe there was a group based here hunting monsters. The proof is that there is a stake in the wall."
Certainly, when Aid instructor looks in the direction of his finger, a slightly rusty stake is stuck in the wall.
Maybe that. Maybe it was a level link in the game.
"Why did you camp here? And I think it's better to camp in a large room instead of in the aisle."
"Maybe I set up a camp to make money or train newcomers. And it's more convenient to have a hidden room or aisle than to camp in a large room."
"why?"
"If you camp in a large room, it's easier to encounter monsters for some reason.
Well, if you're using amulet magic or barriers, it's a different story, but you have to reapply amulet magic on a regular basis, and you have to leave the barriers to one person to maintain.
Also, it costs money to buy and use magic paper with a talisman written on it ... The best way is to set up a tent in the aisle. "
"I see, that's what you say. Then, is the contents of this wooden box garbage?"
When I opened the wooden box, a lot of garbage came out. Imagine a development like that, and you don't want to open the wooden box anymore.
And above all, I have a feeling that I should open someone else's belongings without permission, so open it because I want to see the contents. Even if it is said, I am distracted. Well, I don't smell bad from the wooden box.
"Maybe. This kind of lost item is treated as an item that has fallen in the labyrinth, so it's a good rule for those who pick it up.
Well, I don't think it has a name, but if the name is engraved, it will be treated as a lost item, so if you pick it up, give it to the soldier at the entrance. "
There are rules in the labyrinth that says that. Let's check later so as not to violate the rules.
"I don't seem to engrave my name, and I don't need the wooden box, so I'll leave it as it is."
If the wooden box is a trap, it's dangerous, so I think it's best to leave it alone.
"If you say that, that's fine."
"It's Miharu's thing, so why not open it?"
As for Miharu's things, Miharu-chan was willing to divide the contents of the wooden box.
"Well, if it's a treasure box, I'll try to open it, but it's a suspicious wooden box that may be full of garbage, so let's leave it alone."
"... That's right"
"Then, let's move on."
"Yup"
When I hear Miharu-chan's reply, I begin to move toward the depths of the labyrinth.
・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ But it's really strange. I'm about to reach the stairs, but I don't see any enemies.
"You can see the stairs."
"I now know how encouraging you are when you're at a party."
"I envy you"
While listening to Aid's voice, approach the stairs and look down to see if it is safe.
"... It looks okay. Let's move on."
After saying that, I went down.
