"What the heck is that arm?!"The fat priest who got his internal organs torn by the sharp claw dies instantly.And, Uusu who wields that poisonous claw looks like he doesn't understand what's happening...."T, that arm!""From yesterday, isn't it?"Shina nods."Do you know something?""It's the arm of the higher-ranking demon who attacked the lord's castle yesterday."Shina dutifully answered the handsome middle-aged priest's question....What kind of situation is this?Uusu doesn't look like he's a demon from the beginning.Then, he's probably a host of a demonic parasite, although I don't know the why or how.Let's check Uusu's information once again....There, [Abnormal Status: Demonic Possession]. If only I had seen it earlier!Even though I have cheated, if I don't use it skillfully then it's meaningless... I should reflect on it.The problem is how to defeat it."If I try to pull it out by force, that man is probably going to die, what should we do?""We don't have the leisure
When I'm confirming the map, [Labyrinth of Demon, Bottom Layer], is displayed, but the passageways are not displayed....It's not going to be that convenient, is it?The beast girls look anxious.First of all, let's take care it."I'm Rin. A peddler""Cat nyesu""Dog nanodefu""Lizard"The cat and dog girl choked on their words. While scraping sound can be heard halfway through the lizard girl's words.It's not only Uusu who did it, even their master from before called them like that. The cat and the dog girls were slaves from birth but the lizard girl wasn't and she seemed to have a name before becoming a slave. However, it's a long name mixed with an incorrigible sound difficult to pronounce.In the end, since they asked me to give them names that were easy to call, I named them "Pochi","Tama", and "Liza". Don't treat them like pets! You may be angry like that, but I don't have the confidence to remember them right with normal names so please forgive me, at least until we get out of
"What is magic core?""Magic core can become money. If you give the things from a monster to a peddler, you can get various things."Liza's answer isn't exactly wrong, but not what I wanted to hear, I guess expecting the jack-of-all-trades Nadi-san's bell-like reply is impossible.Liza takes out a ball covered with green blood dirt from the monster. It's a red ball about half the size of a fist. Since the color is dull red, it's probably unusable as jewelry.When she comes back, I pass a pouch from the bag to Liza. I also gave her a bit of dirty remaining cloth to wipe the clotted blood."Put the magic core inside this pouch. Also, use this spear."I give the pouch to Pochi and pass the cricket spear to Liza. The dagger that Liza had is handed over to Tama.Exchanging equipment, truly RPG'stic huh~."Liza, for the next magic core retrieval, Tama and Pochi will help you, so teach them how to do it.""Yes, I understand.""Okay, nano desu.""Ay~""Oh yeah, Pochi.""Yes.""You don't have
We've passed 6 rooms since then, but we didn't encounter any more living humans. We came across several corpses though..."Master, the magic core recovery is complete.""Alright, let's take a break."Liza and the others are passing the water bottle around after drinking for a mouthful.Before I knew it, they way they call me has changed from [Danna-sama (Mister)] to [Goshujin-sama (Master)]. Since it seems easier for them to use that, I leave it alone.Liza drops the water bottle.Water is spilling from the fallen bottle..."I, I'm very sorry! Master!!!"Liza desperately picks up the water bottle. Her hands seem to be unsteady.Come to think of it, Pochi's and Tama's throwing accuracies were bad in the battle earlier too..."Are you tired?""I'm very sorry! I wasted the important water. Please punish me in any way."...You're exaggerating. No, Liza seems to seriously think that."Liza, we can just obtain more water. Rather than that, is your body okay?""I'm sorry... I feel heavy sinc
After two more rest along the way, we're finally around 80% of the way out of the labyrinth.Since the rest before the last one, we haven't seen any more victim's corpses.Pochi and Tama's equipment has changed to the ornamental short swords. That's the extent of the equipment change, but the three people are now level 13. It seems that their stats are about 3 levels higher than the average human kin.Pochi has [Enemy Search], [Throwing], [Dismantling], and [Short Sword] skills, Tama has [Dismantling],[Collecting] and [Short Sword], Liza has [Cooking],[Dismantling], [Spear] and [Thrusting] skills.It can be said that their strengths are now a world apart from when I first met them.If the enemy has no abnormal status attacks then even if it's level 20, the three can handle it. Although it could be dangerous to fight several enemies of the same level since there are no shield users..."That wall~ is strange?"Tama senses a strange sensation from the wall inside the room.When I stared
"The exit is probably after this. I have two reasons, first, there's a demon who, up until now, was nowhere to be seen. The other, the number of enemies is clearly different than anything before."Those reasons sure are weak eh~"...Why do those reasons mean that the exit is just up ahead, I can't understand.""How about we take a detour as suggested by that demi-human instead?"You're absolutely right... however! It's my turn now!"Viscount-sama, did you forget? This is a labyrinth made by a demon. They would put their kind in the place where they don't want to let people pass."Dang, I should've used this reasoning from the start."But we are completely outnumbered. I don't think we can beat such large crowds just by ourselves."I know right~"Of course we have a chance... That is with the magic of viscount-sama."I haven't seen him use it even once, but the firestorm used on the demon on the square back then was flashy. It should be enough as a shield.Oops, I shouldn't have known
We've come into a vacant lot about as wide as a schoolyard when we come out of the labyrinth.Surrounding the edge of the lot, are two-meter high fences. It looks to be hastily made.Since the outer wall can be seen from there, it seems that this is the square where the commotion was.Looking back at the labyrinth's entrance, it's a 3-meter high of sharp jet black rock with a hole. I wonder if it's made of obsidian?There are 3 turrets 50 meters away surrounding the entrance. Wooden barricades with sharp pointed tips lined up on the places where they don't obstruct the turrets' line of fire."Rin, come here please."Shina is calling from a tent across the fences.When we reunited, Shina hugged me without letting go, but her co-worker, Lilio, who was late, teased her so she jumped out in panic. ...She was definitely very worried. Did she favor me that much~?While Pochi and Tama hang on both of my hands, we go toward the tent. Liza follows 3 steps back from me. Are we a master and his
After several sessions of questions and answers, we're finally released.The sister official who was given our luggage passed it back to us."The things over here are fine to take back. However, the magic cores over there will be bought by the earl."Can I deny it? I tried to ask, but she answers me back with a [No] and a smile."Since we can't completely confirm the safety of this monster's meat, we will confiscate it. And since this spear is made from the monster's part, we can't allow you to carry it on the town."Liza overreacts to that and turns over here. T, the rarely mad Liza, is angry?Since she seems to really like it, let's negotiate for her."Since that spear is powerful, couldn't you ask a person with appraisal skills to check for any danger? Of course, I will bear the cost for the procedure, but could you give it back when it's finished?"Liza, you're scary. Scary. Look, even the sister's smile is cramping."I, I understand. I'll arrange it. The new custody receipt will
