Episode 459 Battalion's Mascot

After the attack by Fudo and Sheringham, an uneventful day followed.

　The Japanese government and the Adventurers' Guild were apparently in an uproar and exchanged information with other countries around the world. Then it was confirmed that there were bad rumors in Palmiro.

　It was Palmiro's connection to the criminal organization. Palmiro once treated a representative of a criminal organization when he was ill. It is rumored that their relationship has continued because of this.

　But Palmiro continues to treat sick people from all over the world, so they can't do anything with just rumors.

Palmiro continues to travel the world treating the ailments of important people.

　Metis gave me information he got from the TV.

Then I won't be coming to Japan for a while."

I think so. By the way, if Tamegoro is going to use the recovered thunder hammer Mjolnir, what are you going to do with the leftover Magnihammer?"

　The thunder hammer "Mjolnir," which had been immovable, became mine after I retrieved it. Basically, it is a rule that anything obtained in a dungeon becomes the property of the adventurer who obtains it.

　I was going to loan them out to one of my students, Taichi and Ami, who are now C-level students and don't have magic weapons. I call them to Green Hall.

What's going on, doctor?"

　Taichi asks. Ami looks at me too.

In fact, I'm thinking of renting you both a magic weapon."

Shun told me. I heard you started lending at Battaglion."

　Taichi seems to have heard from Shun.

The magic weapon I happened to have was the same kind of magic weapon I owned, so I thought I'd let one of you two use the extra magic weapon."

　Ami looks interested.

What kind of weapon is it?"

The extra was a magical weapon called the Magni-Hammer."

　I took out my magnihammer and showed it to her and explained the weapon. They discussed and Ami got the magnihammer. Taichi, on the other hand, decided to borrow a newly made sword made of vermillion steel with characteristics from the magic weapons in the batallion.

　After Ami and the others thank me and leave, I go to my workroom and start napping. I had been up late last night translating temple texts, so I didn't get enough sleep.

　At that time, there was a visitor at the gate. The visitor was a girl named Chisato who lived in the neighborhood. Chisato stood tall and rang the doorbell, and Mikeco, a cat-human shadow puppet, came running from the back of the house.

Donata?"

　Mikeh asked in unfamiliar Japanese.

I'm Chisato. I'm here to ask a favor of Dr. Grimm."

　I looked out the peephole and saw that it was a neighbor girl. This girl had been to the Green Pavilion several times, so Mikee knew her face.

A little matte, please.

　Mikeh called Kongoji. When Kongoji realized that the visitor was only a girl, he let Chisato in. Chisato's eyes widen when she sees Mikee.

Don't be surprised. This shadow puppet is Mikeco."

But Mikeco was a black cat.

They remade the body."

　Chisato seemed quite surprised. After leading Chisato to the dining room, Kongoji instructed Toshizo to go get his master.

　Toshizo goes to the workroom and shakes his sleeping master.

Please wake up."

"Hmm?　What do you want?"

Customer.

　Wondering who it was, I went to the cafeteria and found a lovely visitor.

Oh, by "customer," do you mean Chisato?

　Kongoji nods and I take a seat across from Chisato.

"Mr. Grimm, please make me your apprentice."

　Chisato Sasaki is in the third grade of elementary school. Today, he was tested for magical talent at school. As a result, he received a "B" in life magic, a "C" in grant magic, and an "F" in everything else.

　When Chisato discovered that he had a talent for life magic, he immediately decided to become a life magician.

'So you wanted to become an apprentice. But you should have told your mother and father before you came."

No?"

　Chisato looked like she was about to cry. I hurriedly said, 'No, it's not no good.

　I talked with Chisato's parents and decided to make Chisato my apprentice. However, since he cannot enter the dungeon yet, I can only teach him magic that can be learned at magic level 1.

　Chisato was adored by the members of Battalion and became a kind of mascot.

　My usual days as an adventurer continued, and I received a call from the Adventurer's Guild that it was time to open the Jukai dungeon, a blockade dungeon.

　A year or so had passed since last year's search in the Sea of Trees dungeon. We couldn't get the fruit of our talent then, but we are determined to get it this time.

　We got ready and headed for the Jukai dungeon. I heard from the Kondo branch manager that there were about 20 participants this year. There was no Indian sage among them. Instead, there was an attack magician named Havel Mahdar, who was ranked 36th in the Class A ranking.

　Incidentally, my Class A ranking is 49th. I had heard that from this point on, it would be difficult to increase my ranking.

　Near the entrance to the dungeon, about twenty adventurers are gathered. I observe each of them and judge their abilities. From the slightest movement and magical power, it seems that Mahdal is the most skilled.

　The "antidote ring" obtained by defeating the cockatrice was fitted on his finger. The adventurers jumped into the dungeon as the adventurers' guild official raised his voice as a signal.

I suppose I could use the transfer gate to defeat the resurrected tree dragon and get the 'fruit of talent,' but if the demon prince in the tenth layer is resurrected, I'd like to defeat him and get the 'fruit of breaking the limits.'"

　I start heading for the mountains where there is a small waterfall. On the way, I encounter a wood golem. I activate my "Crash Sword" against the approaching wood golem and use my spatial vibration blade to cut through its wooden torso.

　After finishing him off with that blow, I collect the magic stone and continue on. Arriving at a small waterfall, I use the D-particle sensor to make sure there are no people around before entering the back of the waterfall.

　From there, we went to the transfer room and used the coin that was the transfer gate key to get inside. After using the transfer gate to move to the fifth level, we headed to the middle boss room.

　I peeked in through the entrance to the middle boss room and saw a tree dragon at the far end of the large room. The undulating tendrils

be hanged (by the neck)

It is a demon that extends its whip-like tendrils around its surroundings and crushes anyone who approaches it. Moreover, its tendrils have poisonous thorns.
