#105
105. Let’s stick together! (2)
I broke up with Isel and went up to the third floor.
From party 1 to party 3. A place where only the main combat positions are allowed to live. The structure of the 3rd floor is not much different from the 2nd floor. At most, the entrance to the training center was widened. I walked to my inn.
Kang! Can-can!
I stopped.
As I was passing by the training camp, I heard a strange noise. It was the sound of metal colliding with each other. I peered through the half-open door.
‘Belquist.’
In front of the humanoid steel doll, Belquist was brandishing a sword.
Wedge love! The piercing sound of the sword cutting through the air rang in my ears. The sword flew in all directions at a speed enough to leave afterimages. Sparks flew as the iron collided. Belquist’s body was wet with sweat.
“What are you doing? It’s late.”
I said as I entered the camp.
The sword stopped. Belquist turned to me. The stretched out eyes narrowed.
“You’re back, senior. It’s only been a month.”
“I just came, why. Is something going on?”
“No big deal. I’m just training.”
“Looks like he’s taking his anger out on a decent tool.”
“Never mind.”
Belquist turned to the doll and straightened his sword.
His exposed forearms were covered with sweat. I lowered my gaze. His wrist was torn and blood was pouring out. Belquist’s expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.
“Wait one minute. Just one minute. Then come fight with me.”
“I was going to go in and sleep.”
“One time is enough.”
I leaned against the wall and stood up.
Belquist’s eyes are cold. It’s an expression I’ve rarely seen since meeting this guy.
Can-can! Kang! bang!
In the fourth sword attack, one shoulder of the doll was smashed.
Broken pieces of iron fell and scattered.
“I’m ready.”
Belquist dropped the sword with all its teeth missing.
“I’m sorry I didn’t say hello.”
“You can call this a greeting.”
I laughed and went up to the arena.
The eyebrows of Belquist, who had been facing up, twitched.
“I can’t see the shield. Did you throw it away? You’re holding a strange sword.”
“A lot happened in one month.”
sereung.
I pulled the bifrost.
The blade of the sword shone coolly in the light of the training center.
“It’s a good sword.”
“Are you jealous?”
“If you say that, will you give it to me?”
“That’s not allowed.”
Belquist laughed bitterly.
Then he took a deep breath, and suddenly ran away.
Arms move at the same time as stepping. The sword in his right hand shot a stab like an arrow.
Kang!
I put the sword side to the side to block it.
Belquist’s attack followed. Slash up from stab. diagonal cutting. Movements are connected like flowing water. I slashed it with my sword and said while avoiding it.
“I think something unpleasant happened.”
“There should have been.”
He aimed at the vital point and removed the point of the stabbing sword.
Still no acknowledgment.
‘You’ve grown as expected.’
It is sharper and cleaner than the movements in my memory.
As soon as it was blocked, as soon as it was avoided, as soon as it was avoided, it continued to the next, and slashes poured in. If you let your guard down, blood will pour out of your body.
‘Is the lower level weapon skill level 9?’
While fighting the Lidigion, I was able to catch a bit of an estimate.
It’s a remarkable growth. but,
I grabbed the hilt of my sword.
Put strength on your toes and twist your back. And swung her sword.
Boooooong! The wind screamed. unavoidable position. Belquist brought his sword. The moment the swords met, a dull sound rang out.
“Kuk!”
Belquist flew with the sword and crashed into the iron bars.
I picked up Belquist, who was about to fall.
“If you’re going to attack, wipe your sweat and attack.
“It’s dirty… you’ve become strong. What kind of training did you receive? Did you take any medicine? I thought you were bumping into a battering ram.”
“It’s a trade secret, dude.”
I came out of the arena.
Belquist murmured as she put the half-damaged sword into the scabbard.
“By the way, the world is something to live for a long time. I never imagined that it would break so badly to a kid.”
“brat?”
“Be careful, senpai. You can tell just by the appearance… No, you can tell by the appearance.”
The reason why Belquist is angry.
guessed a bit I said with a smile.
“Is the new guy that strong?”
“The other four are worth trying. But one is a problem. Do you know the senior?
“I heard you broke the 25th floor.”
“Then I don’t need to tell you. He’s…”
Belquist wrinkled his brow, as if he remembered what had happened at the time.
There was a deep displeasure in his eyes.
“Anyway, watch out for him.”
“It’s not an enemy, so there’s no need to worry. It’s easier to climb the tower when a strong guy comes in.”
“I wonder if you think so too. Anyway, you’ve said everything. I’ll leave.”
Belquist put on his coat and headed out of the camp.
on the way out,
“Welcome back.”
He left without saying a word.
‘It’s uselessly tick-tick.’
It seems like the way to go anyway.
I followed Belquist.
When I opened the door to the inn, something strange caught my eye.
“Ummm…”
A woman in pajamas was dozing on the sofa.
“Are you sleeping?”
“…”
There is no answer.
Iolka sits with her back straight and tilts her head.
Why are you not lying in bed and doing this here? I ignored and passed by.
I checked the passageway in the lobby.
The structure is slightly changed. It was divided into three branches.
‘indeed.’
It seemed to know the intention.
I turned left. Soon after, a small drawing room appeared.
And there were five doors in the inner hallway.
‘Did you classify the lodgings among the parties?’
Until then, I randomly picked a room, but now I share a sleeping place as a team.
It was the concept of lodging.
I looked at the clock on the drawing room wall.
It was past 3 in the morning. he fell asleep slowly Of the five doors, the empty one would be my room. I went in looking for a room.
and the next morning.
When I came out, all four of them were gathered.
Jenna, Iolka, Belquist, and Nerissa. The purpose is simple. Greetings and status reports. Iolka was angry about why she ignored me yesterday.
“You fell asleep.”
“No, I’m not sleeping…”
“So you were sleeping?”
“It’s been a while, so I tried my best to say hello!”
“Okay, okay. I’m guilty of not waking up.”
I chuckled.
After greeting Nerissa, we move on to the next one. Iolka suggested a simple party, but I declined. I didn’t even come to play.
“It’s blunt. Really. It’s not fun.”
“I’m sorry I’m not having fun. Anyway, you wouldn’t have been playing around while I was gone, right? You’d have been stuck there for a month, so your body would have rusted.”
If the number of floors currently reached is 25, you have to catch up with the level.
The teamwork lost due to the lack of actual combat also needed to be restored.
“Training starts right from this afternoon. When the Master comes…”
rattle.
The table trembled.
After a while, it was as quiet as ever.
“There’s a rat in there.”
I laughed.
bang!
Kicked under the table with his foot.
There was a hollow in the cold place, and wood splinters flew. A large wooden table was thrown into the air and overturned.
“Did you catch me?”
“If you’re going to hide, hide properly.”
I sighed.
A girl is crouching in the seat where the table used to be.
She had dark hair and was wearing a dress woven from animal skin. Twelve to thirteen, no matter how old you are. He was a kid who hadn’t even taken off his shirt yet.
“Hmph, if I got caught, there’s nothing I can do about it!”
The crouching kid got up.
“I am Lakari Bikshabi! I am a member of the proud Whirlwind tribe. I am different from dirty and despicable people like you!”
The little boy raised his nose and put his hand on his waist.
It was a very confident expression.
“…”
Five people, including myself, did not respond.
“Hahaha! It seems that you’re so scared that you can’t even speak? Of course. I’ve been with you humans ever since I was born… woo!”
Lakari dangled from my hand.
“Leave this! Dirty human!”
“What is this? Some kind of thunder naked came.”
“I am a member of Party 3.”
said Nerissa.
“I was summoned a month ago.”
“I know. It’s a little different from what I thought.”
“Profit! Let go!”
Lakari screamed and struggled.
I grabbed him by the nape of his neck and shook it around. Like a marionette, Lakari’s body swayed.
“Rain, cowardly…! As expected, you’re mean and despicable like a human being!”
“Come in first, what are you saying?”
“Noisy! Hey, there, you. The weak bastard who was smashed by my sister yesterday! Help me right now!”
Belquist’s eyebrows moved.
His hand was touching the scabbard. Jenna laughed awkwardly.
“Hey, oppa. Pointing a knife at a child is…”
“Does this kid look like that?”
“Yes? But…”
I jumped back.
Lakari rushed in in an instant and smashed the chair in front of me.
“Chi, did you avoid it?”
Lakari wiped her hands.
There are long fingernails on both hands.
“What is that?”
“The members of the 3rd party are all beasts. An extremely rare race that inhabits the Far East of the Empire.”
Lakari showed her fangs.
“Heh, you talk a lot. Come on, humans!
puck!
Belquist’s scabbard hit the back of his neck.
Lakari collapsed without even screaming.
“You’re barking loudly.”
Belquist murmured.
“These guys have a different way of thinking than we do. They don’t seem to like humans very much. To me, they’re no different from humans.”
“It’s because it’s a race.”
I looked down at Lakkari.
‘Was it a gale running through the forest?’
It was the name of the bond created in the continuous draw.
By having a relationship, I meant that this guy and the other four were all beastmen.
‘Because they are beasts.’
A species similar to, but different from, humans.
I recalled a few cases. Very rarely, there are cases where humans and other races come out of the lottery. They had slightly different characteristics from ordinary human heroes.
“It looks cute.”
Jenna poked Lakari in the cheek.
A blush was circulating on the cheeks where the breast meat hadn’t fallen out.
“Contrary to how he looks, he seems to have a dirty temper.”
“Brother, what are you planning to do? Wake me up and send me back like this?”
Jenna turned to me and said.
“Okay.”
Lakkari’s body is squirming.
It seemed like it would happen soon.
‘It’s become quite a nuisance.’
According to Belquist, the 3rd party doesn’t seem to be cooperating with us.
As long as he was able to complete the mission alone, his strength seemed to be helpful, but that was difficult.
“You guys are here. I need to talk to them.”
“Is it okay if I go alone?”
“What are you doing following me? Do you want to have a gang fight?”
I lifted Rakkari’s body with one hand.
It weighs about 30kg in terms of experience. It was so light.
“Take some training while you’re gone.”
“Senior, remember what I said yesterday. This kid is all right, but the others are a little different.”
“Remember.”
I left the party member alone and came out through the aisle.
I bumped into someone at a crossroads.
“one……!”
“How are you?”
It was Edith.
“Sorry, but I don’t have time to say hello. I’m a bit busy.”
Edith looked at Lakari in my arms and hardened her complexion.
“That child…”
“I heard it’s difficult to treat. Is that right?”
“Sorry, I tried to convince you, but you don’t listen.”
“It’s not a cooperative relationship.”
“I’m about to go on a mission. But should I say it’s a little unusual? To be honest, I’m not sure.”
Edith shook her head.
“We’ll talk later. See you later.”
I moved on.
Since Edith came out of the middle road, the 3rd party should be in the passage on the right.
By the time you reach the middle of the aisle.
“hot!”
Lakari opened her eyes.
Big eyes caught me in sight.
“You, you, that coward…!”
“Are you awake?”
Lakari squirmed.
Before he could pull out his nails, I reached out like lightning and grabbed Lakkari’s wrist. back.
“Ah, ow, ow!”
“Don’t run amok. You might break your arm.”
“You, you! Even if you do this to me… ugh!”
I grabbed the hem of his clothes and shook it a lot.
Lakari’s body spun like a top. After a while, the screams died down.
‘Now it’s a bit quieter.’
I stepped inside.
