Chapter 20:
(Is it dead?) Silca
(It won't move right?) Stacia
(The goblin lord is so beat upped.) Rico
(Oi! Don't touch that, what if that was still alive!?) Nick
I turned around and saw the four people looking and touching the corpse of the goblin lord with an amazed expression, it is already done, so i get off from the top of the goblin lord.
(As expected, even a goblin lord doesn't stand a chance) mika
(N-no, it's thanks you and stacia, if you two didn't tell me about the battle cloak, and the vision and thought acceleration, i would have a really hard time fighting it.) Me
(But it's your skills and talent that made it possible to do those things you know? A normal person can't possibly do that, when other people enters their battle mode, they can't move as fast and as strong as that.) Stacia
(That's right, and your vision and thought acceleration is really fast, your moves is so fast that i can't even see you, and yet you can still keep up.) Mika
(.....) Me
Somehow, it feels embarrassing if they praise me. Even in games, no one is praising me so i'm not used to it. I don't know how to reply so i just stayed silent.
(But kaito-san, did you not speak the chant earlier? I didn't see your mouth moving.) Stacia
(That's right, i didn't see your mouth move when i told you about the spell.) Mika
Ofcourse i won't! If i do that, i would look like a magical girl! But let's just keep quiet. They might get angry to me if i mock their chant spell.
Ne~igh!
Ah right, i forgot about kuroma. He approaches me and cries happily. I asked him to protect the four, so i patted his head.
(Kuroma, thanks for protecting them.)
i wonder if he can defeat a goblin lord, i want to try making him fight earlier, but i'm still worried, so i just make him stand back.
(Ah, right. Mika-san, what would we do now about this goblin lord?) Me
A normal goblin doesn't have worth, but i wonder if a goblin lord have.
(You are the one who one who defeated it, so we will ask you if you will sell it to the adventurer's guild. Ofcourse you are free to refuse, but you don't have any use for it right?) Mika
(Yeah, but does it have a worth? A normal goblin doesn't fetch any price right?) Me
(That was a normal goblin, they are weak. A goblin lord is different, it's skin is very strong, and it's bones is very hard. Especially this one since it have a sword. By the way, this sword, would you like to sell it?) Mika
If i remember correctly, that sword is not an iron, nor any kind of ore, but a goblinite, it's made from the overflowing magic power of the goblin lord.
(No, i don't want to sell it. I want to make my own weapon and use this sword as a material.) Me
Mika-san looked sad, a goblin lord's sword is very rare, i'm sure she wants to have a piece of it.
(Mika-san, you helped me earlier, so i'll cut it into two pieces, and give you the half.) Me
(Really!? You are serious right!? You have already said that, there's no taking it back okay!?) Mika
(Yeah, but calm down. I won't take back what i said.) Me
I put the goblin lord sword inside my item box, i'm sure it will make a very great sword.
*Jiiiiiiiiiii*
Etto~, the four people is staring at me with a sad eyes, i'm sure they want a piece of it, but they didn't help me fight earlier, so they didn't ask me.
(Stacia-san, thankyou so much for telling me about the battle cloak. I'm going to sell the goblin lord, so you can have half of the price.) Me
(Eh? N-no, we can't do that, you are the one who fight it. And i only told you about the battle cloak, i didn't do much after that.) Stacia
(No, that information is very important you know? If not because of that, i may not be able to kill it.) Me
That battle cloak really did a very important part of this battle.
(And i can even use it someday if i fight another strong monster again, it is one of the most helpful information i got together with mika-san's vision and thought acceleration.) Me
(Well, that's... But half of the price is just so big, so how about 20%?) Stacia
(25%, Mika-san, please give them the 25% of the earnings.) Me
(Wait...) Stacia
(Yeah, i got it.) Mika
(Guild master!!!...) Stacia
(Just accept it, you need to make buy a new magic staff for you and nick right? You also need to buy a sword for silca and rico.) Mika
(Mika-san, you know them?) Me
(Ofcourse i know, they are a rank D adventurers, their skills are rank C, but their equipment is old, so i told them that id they can buy a new equipment, then i will raise their rank to C.) Mika
I see, certainly, they killed the horned bear so easily earlier.
(Anyway, it's already dark, so let's go back to the town now. I also need to call for a carriage to bring the corpse to the adventurer's guild.) Mika
(Then i'll just put it in my item box, then i'll bring it to the adventurer's guild.) Me
(No, you can't do that, because of your stupidly large magical power earlier, the town's people have panicked. They think that a very strong monster arrived, so if we don't show this thing to them, they won't calm down.) Mika
I see, certainly... If i were in their shoes, i won't also calm down if there's no proof that the monster is already dead. And the worst thing that could happen is that they will think that the monster have fled, and it will be back soon, so the people will escape from this town and live on another place, before they are attacked again.
(Then, let's go back for now. Ah, wait... How do i undo my battle cloak?) Me
(Etto~, that's) stacia
Stacia doesn't answer, what? Why? Don't tell me it won't be undone?
(Sorry kaito-san, but if you undo it here, you will become stark naked.) Mika
Huh?
(Why?) Me
(Because if you wear a battle suit, all your clothes will be ripped because of the force made by the magic power.) Mika
Eh? Ehhhh!!!???
(Then! How about my hoodie? That was the only memory i have from the place i was born!) Me
(We can't do anything about that now. But you can just make it again using your magical power just like how you make your battle cloak.) Mika
(Then my physical strength would always be maximized! Can i even hold a glass cup properly?) Me
(Then you can just buy a normal clothes.) Mika
No, i don't want to do that, i want my hoodie, that was the only thing i got when i left my old world. I even bought that together with my sister.
I remember it when me and my sister bought it, it looks cool so i tried it out, but it's too big for me, i should have put it back, but my sister laughs loudly, she said it's too funny and cute that i'm so small and the hoodie is very big, and since i want to make her laugh always, i bought it.
That's why i want my hoodie back, or atleast i want to make it with my own memory.
I made an earth room, and entered it so that they won't see me changing. They said i can just change the form of my clothes, but i want to try something.
I turned my battle cloak back to a magical power, then put it back inside my body. It's really true, i'm stark naked right now. I can make a battle cloak if i use all my magical power, and my physical abilities would rise according to the amount.
Then that means...
I released a small magic power, then compress it into my body, then i imagined my original clothes, my pants, my shoes, my tshirt, then finally the hoodie.
When i opened my eyes, i'm now wearing my usual clothes. This is it, this is the hoodie that i bought together with my sister, i'm sure of it. Thank god, i thought i would not be able to wear it again.
I get out, from the earth room, then i tried junping, punching, kicking, my physical abilies is just right, it's a little stronger, but that's fine.
(I see, i didn't think that that was possible.) Mika
(Everyone wants to use all their magical power when they enter battle mode, so no one have tried using only a little.) Stacia
(Well. Anyway, let's go back to the town now.) Me
(Yeah, i got it. Stacia-san, silca-san, can i ask your party to guard the corpse? I will call for a carriage, i will be quick.) Mika
(Okay, we will wait here.) Silca
(Thankyou, kaito-san, can you give me a ride?) Mika
(Yeah. Kuroma, let mika-san ride.) Me
Kuroma crouches and mika rides him, then kurom stands up again and i ride on him. Mika is on the front, and i am at her back.
(Well then, stacia-san, silca-san, rico-san, nick-san, we will be off.) Me
(I'll come back immediately.) Mika
(Yeah, we got it) Silca
(Kuroma, let's go.)
When inordered kuroma to go, he runs fast, this is not as fast as earlier, but it's double the normal horse's speed.
When we arrived at the town, i told kuroma to slow down, then we arrived at the adventurers guild, and mika-san get's off.
(Kaito-san, thanks for giving me a ride.) Mika
(Yeah, i will be off.) Me
After i said my goodbye to mika-san, she rushed inside the guild to call for a carriage, and i take my way back to the inn.
Now that i think about it, i wonder why mika-san is so strong, she looks like the same age as me, yet she is very strong, and she is even already the guild master.
Well, not that i can say anything about it since i'm also strong, but my strength is justified because i keep playing VR before, i have tens of thousands of battle experience with monsters and players.
But this country, no, not just the country, but the world itself is in peace, i can't imagine where she got that strength.
When i arrived at the inn, sarah is standing outside. hmm, maybe she waiting for someone?
(Sarah! Why are you here outside?)
I got off from kuroma the told him to take his baby form. When sarah heard me, she suddenly rushed and hugged me, and she's even crying.
(Sarah! What happened!? Why are you crying!?) Me
She did not answer. Don't tell me someone bullied her?
(Sarah, what's wrong? Did someone bullied you?) Me
She didn't answer again, and just keeps hugging me while crying.
(She's worried about you.) Barsa
(Barsa-san? You are there? No... Never mind that. Instead, what are you talking about?) Me
Barsa-san looks at sarah and laughs luodly.
(Earlier, we felt a very strong magic outside the town, and we got worried that there might be a very strong monster. Ofcourse we are still fine because we know that the guildmaster would go there, but after a while, a customer of the inn goes inside and said that there are a hundred goblin, and a sword-wielding goblin lord, and that a 15 year old kid is fighting it. When she ask who is that kid, the customer said that it is a kid wearing a strange outfit and owns an attack pegasus. So she immediately know that it is you. Then she rushed inside my bar to borrow my horse because she wants to go to you.) Barsa
(Since she's here right now, that means you stopped her. Thankyou very much, barsa-san.) Me
(Ofcourse i will stop her. I also told her that you will be fine since you are strong. No, i didn't see you fight, but i know you are strong since you are able to summon this child.) Barsa
She crouches and patted the head of kuroma, kuroma also cried happily like saying "ofcourse".
(I see. Sorry, sarah.) Me
She's still crying, she must have been very worried. Even me, if someone i know will fight a strong monster, i will also get worried a little, yes only a little, so...
(But, sarah, why are you crying?) Me
I can get worried too, but not to the point where i will cry.
(Kaito-san you idiot!) Sarah
Areh? What? Why?
(Ofcourse she is very worried, she likes you after all.) Barsa
Eh? Ehhhh????
(Daaaaad!!!!!) Sarah
*Booog*
(It hurts!... ) Barsa
Sarah punches barsa's stomach, what are you saying geezer!? Like, you say.
I have only known her for three days, why would...
(W-why? A-am i wrong!?) Barsa
(T-that's!... Ah geeez!!!) Sarah
*Boooog*
(It huuuurts! Stop punching me!)
Well, you should have seen that coming.
Sarah becomes red like a cherry, she must have been so embarrassed. Barsa must just be joking, but that's still embarrassing.
Sarah picked up kuroma and then goes inside the inn, i'm hungry now, so i'll just go inside, then eat.
