Such Things, What Value Do They Have? ā Part 9\nEven if she tried to listen, Kagami definitely would not tell her. Rather than being strangely deceptive, heād just wear a troubled expression. Since she intuitively knew this, she didnāt dare ask.
āThere arenāt any monsters that are beyond Level 500 in the world.ā
Alice stopped and muttered in a small voice.
No matter how much one struggled, Alice was certain that it was impossible to reach that Level. She knew the existence of the strongest monster because Demons coexisted with Monsters. It was not likely for one to return alive if they met it, and it was impossible to flee if they got lost in its territory.
āSurely, one cannot go beyond Level 500. Yetā¦Kagami reached Level 999.ā
āBut he knew from the beginning that the strongest monsters are Level 500. Also, itās fine to not worry about your fatherās life being targeted by another Level 999 person, since another person like Kagami is unlikely to appear.ā
Takako said to Alice, who was genuinely worried about the method of reaching Level 999, with a gentle smile.
āItās probably impossible for anyone other than Kagami-chan.ā
āWhy do you think so?ā
āBecause for him, every single life is importantā¦I wonder if that makes him the most idiotic person alive?ā
Takako began to laugh like a man and added āHahaha, idiot.ā
āBesides, isnāt that something you will eventually come to know from now on? Since we just met, if you feel that you truly wish to get along with us, it would be better to keep your curiosity reigned in.ā
Alice slightly reflected on it and lowered her face with a shunned look.
When Takako saw this, she impulsively wanted to hug Alice. She had hugged cute things impulsively in public before, and since it still hadnāt caused a problem, she responded as such.
āWell, Iāll teach you a special method to becoming Level 999! The exp value is still obtained, even if you are at a higher Level. Kagami-chan verified this already.ā
āHigher Level?ā
āEven if youāre at a higher Level, if your opponentās abilities are greater than yours, you will get exp. This isnāt normally the case, but since he has the weakest Role of Villager, he can gain exp.ā
Alice couldnāt help but feel even more skeptical when she heard this. Since Villagers were weak, she knew that even if he was fighting a Level 500 Monster at Level 900, he would barely win.
Learning about the existence of Skills convinced Alice even more. The more she thought about it, the more she couldnāt help but wonder about the existence that called himself Kagami.
āI, too, donāt know about that. But itās fine. Whether itās the past or the present, Kagami-chan is a friendly person who doesnāt change. Thatās why, shouldnāt Alice-chan also be at ease?ā
Alice, who had been gloomy about various things, brightened at Takakoās words.
She couldnāt ask too many questions, and even though they had just met, Kagami was friendly. Alice wanted to know more. It was fine if she started learning from now. There was no rush, and they would at least start traveling together.
āAnd since Iām here, Alice-chan should also feel more at ease.ā
Alice began to overflow with various feelings when Takako said so.
āIā¦itās not like I didnāt want to go to the hot springs anymore. I just began to think a little, thatās all.ā
āItās impossible for a girl to be so sweaty! Even if itās Kagami-chan, I wonāt forgive him!ā
Takakoās giant body closed in on Alice and pointed at her as she said so. Aliceās heart paled in the face of such force, and she naturally laughed as if she had given up.
āHere we go!ā¦To the hot springs!ā
Takako forcibly grabbed Aliceās hand and pointed towards the direction of the hot springs. Immediately after, a giant, violet object fell down in that direction, making a loud ā~Dozunā.
āā¦Huh?ā
This height, perhaps it was four times as tall as Takako?
Since it had, by chance, fallen in the largest area in Balmanās town square when nobody was around, there wasnāt anyone under it. Otherwise, it would have pinned anyone underneath it.
Alice was convinced of this when she saw the groundās paved stone that had been crushed from its fall and gasped.
The monster raised a spine-chilling growl and slowly began to move, emitting a yellow glint from its eyes. Its two front legs sank into the ground with a ā~zunā. It then placed its two hind legs in the same manner and pulverized the ground, as if it was getting ready for a charge.
āYouāre in the way.ā
āGuruā¦..Ruo!? Buruooooooo!?ā
However, the Bloody Buffer, which had come flying from the sky, immediately received a roundhouse kick to itās body from Takako and was sent flying into the horizon at an amazing speed. It made a loud sound as it collided with the Squareās wall of bricks and disappeared, changing into Gold.
āCome, Alice-chan! Letās go to the hot springs!ā
āOh, no, please wait a moment. Amazing, itās my first time being bewildered like this.ā
Takako, who didnāt appear to be sensitive to anything and immediately tried to go to the hot springs after slaying a Monster that fell from the sky with a sudden roundhouse kick, made Alice dizzy. When they surveyed their surroundings, they realized that there were more Bloody Buffers falling from the sky, one after another.
Why were they still calmly trying to go to the hot springs in such a situation? Alice was rather afraid of this.
āAra. Quite a lot of them have fallen. Although itās fine even if they fall on my shop.ā
āTakako-san, now is not the time to be calm!ā
In fact, the situation had turned into an uproar and screams rang throughout Balman.
Why had Bloody Buffers fallen from the sky? When Alice and Takako raised their heads to look for the cause, about ten giant, black-winged monster birds descended on the town.
āDid those monster birds bring those Bloody Buffers? Why, exactly?ā
āCalm down, Alice-chan. Even though everyone is making a racket, itās fine. This is an Adventurerās Town, after all.ā\n
