“So what’s the next move?” [Bando]
”hm.. i’m thinking of splits up, if they're patrolling the same area , their next meeting spot should be in the next 3-4 minutes” [Nashi]
”anyhow , i’ll think that you should go south , i already told you about their meeting spot in the south right? While Morio-nii and me will be going north , since i know where they’ll meet up and i need some escort” [Nachi]
”then i’m going south” [Bando]
”..just remember to stay low, after you done , come back to this place” [Nashi]
”relax~ “ [Bando]
after bando says that he runs to the south... yup he’ll mess up like always
”anyhow Morio-nii, i want to try something so could you not kill the next one?” [Nashi]
”.... what are you trying to do ?” [Morio]
“Hm? Just watch~” [Nashi]
after this i use "map" to navigate us to the next meeting spot, while Morio helped me leading the way
”oh... the Kobold already waiting eh , and Bando almost reach his next target.” [Nashi]
since it’s near and i already know which way to go , i close the map , and start walking by myself , leading Morio-nii , after a while i can see the next kobold on mini-map
”do you need any help?” [Nashi]
”i just need to capture it alive right? I can do that, ah crap.. i forgot to tell Bando.. well i’m still not sure either , but seems like these kobold weakness are their nose” [Morio]
”what's your basis? Well if it's true.. he’ll do just fine, since he's a type that strike head first." [Nashi]
”no basis just my guts telling that" [Morio]
"well.. you have good instinct after all, lets just see if this true" [Nashi]
after he says this , i tell him the direction of kobold, and he just went on to the kobold directly , i check things with mini-map ,while following him, after we just about 10 meters behind it I decide to hide in the tree, while morio continues moving, i use mini-map to check how’s his position, right now he’s directly behind the kobold right now 6 meter,4,3.. looks like that kobold hasn’t realize yet.. after he’s just less than 1 meter behind the kobold , i can hear some rustle sound
anyhow i go outside of the tree , and walk toward him , my left hand now grabs the hand axe that he brings
hoo.. he really apprehend the kobold huh, Morio now holding pushing the kobold head to the ground, and pressure his body on top of the kobold.. this one doesn’t bring pick axe , but brings a shovel, right now his position and the kobold are facing toward me, i walk toward them to try something
”ah.. move your hand a little to the left" [Nashi]
”ow.. wha!?”[Morio]
”ngya!!” [Kobold A]
.... he’s moving to the wrong left. What i mean is his left , but he think he needs to move to my left... i told him out of consideration though, i think that’s my fault
”sorry.. i mean your left not mine.. ahaha..” [Nashi]
”... i almost lost my right hand.. couldn't you wait a little more!? And is that something to laugh about!?”
”sorry!” [Nashi]
anyhow what i did is chopping the kobold right ear, since he’s pinned the kobold face to the ground, the scream got reduced
i see.. it's clear that this creature feels pain, no i should've guess it when Kuro angry at Akamine because she's pulling her hair and the kobold that Bando hit trembling on the ground too
anyhow i try to do the next experiment
This time using only one hand i try to break one of its finger,and ... hee.. i see, even though it’s body and arms are small like children , it’s really full of muscle huh , this time i try to twist , and pull its finger.... damn.. this feels like try to break an iron nail by bare hand
anyhow i decided to chop its hand by my axe
i swing my left arm down as strong as i can, this time i can feel his flesh being cut down and my hand reaching it's bone..... what the hell,even though its body seems like nothing but a muscle i can cut down it flesh and take out my axe just fine.. its pretty hard to chop the bone off but after the third try it's hand finally being chopped off..
i ask morio-nii to try stab it with his knife , ... from what i see he just pierce it like pierce a butter
ah.. i just realize , why aren’t each one of the kobold doesn’t show red dot? This one isn't showing either.
this time i’ll try to cut it but only it’s flesh on its shoulder... oh it’s pretty easy, i think i get it, the only hard thing is his bone huh... that's really weird.. i try to pinch it and i can feel the hardness of its muscle, but when being cut down like this it's muscle just feels like a butter
... next i’ll try to rip off its other ear by my bare hand.. oh i can do that, in my hand i can feel that there’s no single bone on the kobold ear
before i can continue to try hit it and cut his nose, the kobold in front of me disappear just like the last one
.....their LP must be reach zero from bleeding out eh.. this really a bummer.... i didn't get a chance to hit it in the head and well...., that should be fine since Bando crowbar can kill it in two shot on its head maybe i can do it to
”......Nashi, what the hell are you experimenting? [Morio] (Is this kid still sane?)
”hm? Just try to see how strong it is, since its body small like children, but it seems the bones really hard, anyhow I actually want to check whether or not this thing has same body structure as human, since if we know what it's weak point or if it has same weak spot as human, then guess we can charge down the main camp.. to bad it’s already gone... Oh, it’s blood already gone from my hand either.” [Nashi]
”... now that you mention it , even though i stab it, there’s not a single trace of blood got left behind in my body” [Morio]
”i see , maybe once it’s dies any trace of it is gone, even the shovel is gone too.. ah, there’s something on the ground....”[Nashi]
.... wait.. a brown ring? I check it’s hands, and there’s nothing like ring over there
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
”.... this time is a ring huh?” [Nashi]
”yeah.. This is starting to look like a video game right?” [Morio]
*drt* *drt*
Oh my phone vibrates, i check it and it’s bando the one that calls, anyhow when we're starting a fight with a gang, we made sure to make our phone on vibrates mode, to make sure that when we are escaping or hiding, our position won't get found out by the call ring tone.. i speak of this from personal experience
”crap! I forgot about our meeting time!” [Nashi]
“..... nashi.. You might want to lower your voice.” [Morio]
”ahaha... sorry!” [Nashi]
there are 5 minutes left before the next patrol shows up huh.. no it should be 2 minutes since they have 3 minutes delay, if the kobold before haven’t got back there’s a chance the search party will be sent, at least thats what i’m about to do
Anyhow, i am answering his calls
”sorry be right there in 2minutes”
”...no! I dont!... gah! Just use your map and come to my location!”
...... from the looks of it, he's mess up huh.. so this is a call for back up.. i use "map" and check the most chaotic area.. huh!?.....
"1,2,3....11,..15,..26..,39!?" [Nashi]
"hm? What's up with 39?" [Morio]
"......No seems like there's 38 kobolds surrounding Bando right now" [Nashi]
"damn.. that's to many.. well they aren't seems that strong but the number to many" [Morio]
"... should we leave him and escape?" [Nashi] while i say this i check the request paper.. Only 18 left!? We are supposedly only kill four.. That means Bando killed another three..
*drt* *drt*
"... that guy calling me right now.. if he still has the time to calling each one of us, the situation isn't that serious right? [Morio]
"let's just see the situation first, if it to dangerous we just run, if somehow winable, we help him" [Nashi]
i just realize why we don't just start heading his way and talk while walking? Well, just forget about it! After i think like this i start to run to his location.. while Morio-nii using flash light in the back, lighting the way, while running i keep to check the request paper, since it's more practical to check whether or not Bando still alive.. oh the number already 17.. by the time i can see them on mini-map it's already 16.. so from 38, the number should be 36.. right now
oh... this time the rod dots showing up.. i can see a golden dot on the south west of my mini-map, anyhow both of Morio-nii and me coming from the east, blindsided most of these kobolds.. Damn... it's hard to fight in the darkness like this with only one arm, but somehow i'm managed to do it.. these kobolds are small. since they are small, my hand axe really useless!So i decide to kick them.. wha!? My kicks can throw them around 1 or 2 meters..are all kobold this light? if i knew they are these weak.. i don't need to wait and using guerrilla strategy.
"Nashi-kun.. these things are weak huh" [Morio]
"yeah... i think Bando will be fine if we're leaving him alone" [Nashi]
"grrrh... just help me get out from the crowd, it's hard for me to fight like this! [Bando]
...... i see they are small, with hunch back, and with their weapon of choice, i guess once their enemy falling down, it'll be easy to surround you and hit you together huh.. ah.. half of kobold that surrounding Bando turn this way.. anyhow we do this for quite some times, .. heck i don't even count the kobolds that we got anymore.. hn? Another 3 kobolds come from the cave..
"oi! Morio-nii! do you know about that cave? Another three comes from the cave just now, this guy weak, but don't get surrounded and fall down!most likely if that happens your life will be over!" [Nashi] as soon as i finish my sentence , another 3 kobolds come from outside of the cave again...
"Revise there's 6.. no 9 right now!" [Nashi]
seems like nothing come out of caves again huh, he just say "it's okay if there's only 9" and ran off.... ah!! why i'm telling him that!.. wouldn't it better for me to fight the small number enemy!? .. gah.. right now i'm facing 12 while Bando facing 18. 6 more kobolds has died huh, that's mean only 10 left for the quest to be completed
....... urgh its to dark.. with mini-map i can somehow know their position and evade , but it hard to hit the short enemy in the face.
"Oi! Bando! Do you hear me!?" [Nashi]
"What!?" [Bando]
"i'm going to group up with you! clear some path for me!, i'll be heading from 2 o'clock!" [Nashi]
"just keep yelling to i don't hit you by mistake!" [Bando]
"oraaaaaaaa" [Nashi] using mini-map as a guidance i'm heading toward his location, i can see that the rest of kobold following me... damn they are fast! i know we are running at least in the same speed, even though their body is like that..just after around 10 seconds i reach toward his location...
"*hosh*..........dude what the hell with that sword?" [Nashi]
"don't know this thing just laying on the ground!" [Bando]
The sword that he swings. that's a longsword right? How many kilograms was it? Around 2kg? i know his strength is higher than me, but swinging things and lifting things around aren't the same right?So swinging 2kg sword like that, shouldn't it use more stamina? Anyhow just about 1 minute after we group up. he starts to move more aggresively.. feeling safe because someone watching your back huh
ah.. right, i checked the request paper, since if i'm complete it i can get a weapon!
Oh, it's completed.
.......
how do i redeem the reward?
... crap she never explained to me! No, I never ask her that either!... how should i redeem it?
"guh... these kobolds just keep coming on!" i do this while kicking and swinging my axe around,i already know that both of me and Bando already reaching our stamina, argh whatever just say some random word
"Redeem! *hosh*, Complete! Reward! Quest done! *hosh* , Mission Over!" .... not a single thing
"Oi! Nashi! Losing your mind already!?" [Bando]
"guh.. just try some random thing, *hosh* oi in video game after completing some quest, how to redeem the reward!?" [Nashi]
"don't know and don't care! Can you keep up with me!?" [Bando]
"just guess why i'm *hosh* running to your place *hosh*, and how long we are in this situation anyway!?" [Nashi]
"beats me! Who the hell counting! And where the fuck is Morio!? Don't tell me that guy already down!?" [Bando]
"noo.. He's at the entrance blocking the back up." [Nashi]
"there's more of these things!?" [Bando]
finally there's only 9 more on our side, ah.. Morio is heading this way, that means he's done huh... no... he's not coming alone!? There's how much? 11... 20... 3...fuck
"Oi! Bando! Run!" [Nashi] as soon i say this i just don't care anymore,i ran ,throwing away my pride and my friendship ! well i already tell you so you're on your own now buddy! i ran past kobolds that surrounding us, ugh i can feel my stomach already cramped by just running!
"what? why!?" [Bando]
"ah! It's you! Don't ask just run! [Morio] Is what Morio-nii scream, i see in mini-map that he's already running pass Bando
"...you motherfucker!!" [Bando] yup i can Bando scream next!I see him being chased around by some an army of Kobolds
anyhow i only have 20 meter headstarts since i'm counting the number of kobolds that Morio brings.. it's fucking 52! no matter what i think about this.. This isn't normal at all the cave aren't that big to keep this many creatures
following me from behind is Morio, i have 20 meter headstarts from him, but right now he's closing to about 10 meters,... guh.. no good my body already reaching it's limit huh
behind Morio there's Bando, follows up and closing to him already.
...... Even though these kobolds are weak, it still impossible to beats if they are kept coming like this huh.
"Oi! Nashi-kun! You're to slow!" [Morio]
"......." i can't talk right now how the hell he's already beside me!? hm!? the kobolds aren't chasing us anymore?
"Nashi! i'm going first! [Bando]
"ah! there's no need *hosh*... they don't follow us anymore!" [Nashi]
anyhow i looked at my phone.. Damnit. it's already past 3 in the morning. Just like this we walk away from this forest , tasted defeat from the army of kobolds.. well at least my quest is completed.
