To overcome the problem of unappetizing preserved food, we defeated horn rabbits for two meal (Total 4). The preserved food is unappetizing but it can’t be help because it has nourishment. And because it can’t be help, we chose to get rid of the aftertaste with horn rabbit meat.
It wasn’t difficult to cook the meat because there is <fire magic=""> and <water magic=""> in this world, although I’m reluctant to say it was a dish. <water magic=""> can be used as drinking water and <fire magic=""> can be used as light source at night too.</fire></water></water></fire>
<earth magic=""> also aids in our travel somehow. Specifically, the toilet. We create the wall to hide ourselves and fill it up after we are done with earth magic. I don’t want to say too much detail. Since Sakura will become teary.</earth>
It seems our travel in this world is more comfortable because of magic.
It is already night time, we set up our camp. In the end, I wasn’t able to reach the thief’s hideout. I guess I took too much time hunting horn rabbits to solve our food problem.
I let Sakura fight with goblins along the way, there wasn’t any particular problem for her. I think most of her worry’s about combat is disappearing like this.
At last, let me introduce a new monster and skills that came out.
Mad Boar
LV4\n <rush lv2="">
Note : Monstrous wild boar. Their rush is scary.
Fang Wolf
LV3\n <howl lv1="">
Note : Monster wolf that has developed fangs.
Goblin Archer
LV4\n <bow lv2="" mastery="">
Note : Goblin with a bow.
There is nothing in particular about combat. But I guess it was the first time we were attacked from long-range by the goblin archer. My dynamic vision seems to have improved along with
. I was able to deflect the arrow with my sword.
Although the other two are eatable, their taste are worse than the horn rabbit. Despite it being a boar… I wonder should I be mad or not.
We setup two sleeping bags in the tent and lie down. Because night watch is hard for a 2 person journey. I set an alarm when enemy is approaching with map. I exterminated all enemies before sleep and set an alarm to sound when something enters 1km radius. Even if I couldn’t sleep soundly, I still have to make the most out of it.
Since the two of us are sleeping in our own sleeping bag, don’t expect any erotic development.
That is trivial, but isn’t it a bad choice to sleep in a sleeping bag in the place where monsters are roaming?
I detected and instantly killed a slime (doesn’t sleep) that was entering the detection range 3 times. Just for slime, I won’t wake up unless it enters the 10m zone.
For the most part, our traveling went well.
[I intend to fight against the thieves today.]
[Yes.]
Next day, I’m talking about my plan to do with the thief.
[I will take advantage of map and launch a surprise attack.]
[By the way, what kind of place is their hideout?]
[A cave. It seems that the cave is also part of the forest. So I know the internal details too.]
[How could we launch a surprise attack at the cave?]
It is unlikely to launch a surprise attack since the road is limited.
[Well, I know the enemy’s position, I can launch a surprise attack at anytime.]
[That’s right. Map really is a cheat.]
[Yeah. Those thieves might not expect this too.]
If we have a cheat, we use it. It is natural.
[I said I will kill those thieves, what will Sakura do?]
[This time, the enemy isn’t a monster but human. It might be impossible for me to finish them. So is it okay for me to stick with wall-type magic and give you recovery and support…?]
[Understood. That is enough.]
[Well, it relates to skill taking, I want to keep everything in this situation.
We enter the forest where those thieves are. Goblin doesn’t appear here, only normal forest animal and monster do. We saw a rare seen of a common wild boar defeating a demon too. The difference between animal and monster is basically a presence of monster stone. Since monster stone has massive magic power inside, it is natural for monster to have higher ability. The wild boar that defeated the monster is seriously a beast.
We approach thief’s hideout. There are totally of 10 thieves. By the way, when I say thief, it is because of the titles “Murderer” or “Thief” were shown on the map. Since they aren’t innocent people, I can kill them all.
Those thieves have a lot of interesting skills that I don’t.\nI’m interesting in taming it myself. According to Help-sensei, monsters that have been tamed will have affection to its owner. It is likely to become the first companion we can trust in this other world. It doesn’t matter if the first one is a monster either…
[Sakura, don’t use magic. Especially inside their hideout.]
[What did you discover?]
[A tameable dragon. Those thieves don’t have enough skill to tame it.]
[Was it caught for selling? I don’t want to damage it, including the treasure.]
[Yeah.]
We hide ourselves and approach their hideout. Black wolf can detect out position with smell. Since the range of detection was shown on the map and we barely stay outside that area.
It is necessary to be careful about using weapon before we reach the cave. Don’t forget that people die easily even with status.
The preparation is finished, we are finally ready to raid the thieves hideout. The tactic is basic, I alone will launch a suicide attack while letting Sakura covers my back from a different direction. The status I gain from
