Episode 44. Ant Cave (4)
But Luna’s smile didn’t last very long.
Black ants intentionally released by instructors.
Luna attacked from the side, avoiding the legs, but failed to sever his head with one blow.
“Tsk!”
The injured black ant ran wild, and it was only after other children rushed in and beat Molmae that he was able to finish it.
“… … “I can’t believe I can’t handle even one animal properly.”
Luna’s eyes became gloomy.
You can kill him if you use [Illumination], but that is an arcane swordsmanship.
This means that it will not help you improve your skills at all.
“Hehe, you did well enough. “Other kids only aim for the neck after cutting off the legs, right?”
“But still… … .”
When will I be able to complete my revenge with skills that can’t even beat my classmates?
As the goal was so far away, it was natural for Luna to be disappointed in herself.
“Hehe, don’t worry. “Miss Luna will get stronger soon.”
“It’s okay to comfort someone. “I’ll just say thank you first.”
“It’s not just comfort. “The Lester family’s swordsmanship is beyond Miss Luna’s imagination.”
“Huh, huh! I know that too, right? Our family’s swordsmanship is said to be the best on the continent. Well, I’m not skilled enough right now… … .”
No, Luna does not know the power this sword technique contains.
Of all the people in the family, none of them would have shown true power.
“damn… … Why am I so weak… … .”
The anxiety Luna felt was conveyed to me.
‘The normally sharp cat trembles like an abandoned cat… … .’
For Luna, I quietly whisper a secret that only I know.
“Hehe, Miss Luna. Do not worry. Because the true swordsmanship of the Leicester family can cut down the moon.”
“The moon?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Luna looked at me blankly.
Then he blurts out a word.
“What bullshit… … “Are you out of your mind?”
Luna twirled her index finger next to her head.
The facial expression that makes you look like you’ve seen a madman is a bonus.
I couldn’t help but feel mortified.
No, really.
You can cut out the moon… … .
* * *
“You’ve arrived. “Rest now for 10 minutes.”
I think I walked for about an hour. We were able to reach a huge square.
To be exact, it is a cavity with a high ceiling. What’s unusual about it?
“and… … “Look at that.”
“crazy. “Why are there so many holes in the wall?”
“Couldn’t that be all roads?”
There are countless holes in the wall.
Even everyone was immersed in darkness.
It means deep. So much so that you can’t gauge its depth with your eyes.
“Ugh, creepy… … .”
Such holes surround the surrounding area.
I couldn’t help but feel my hair standing on end.
The children’s complexions turned pale as they heard strange cries coming from the hole.
Of course, there was no consideration for Charon, the murder tank.
“From now on, we will act in groups that were prepared in advance. “There are numbers on the holes so each group can move.”
This is an ant cave.
Like an ant cave where ants live, there were dozens of paths.
“What group are we in?”
“Hehe, it’s group 3.”
A group of eight students. And one instructor followed each group.
I looked at the names using the [Information Window], but I couldn’t find any particularly memorable names.
Beings that have never been seen in games. In other words, they were extras.
“Hello everyone. This is ‘Ron’, the instructor for Group 3. “I’m a graduate, so I’ll speak comfortably.”
I couldn’t even remember the instructor’s name.
Jorani is full of extras. This is the perfect group to die for.
‘Well, no child died in this dungeon.’
It is a raid event where the main characters come together for the first time, and the first large-scale event.
At the end of this event, not a single person died.
‘It can be seen as an episode where safety is guaranteed.’
Even if you intentionally troll, the result is the same.
Just before the last survivor of the party dies.
Charon suddenly appears and kills the remaining ants with one blow.
Since you can’t catch even a single ant, there is no need to worry about the loss of experience points and rewards.
The harsh words and penalty points received from Charon only made the people more angry.
‘The old people tried to disgrace Charon somehow… … .’
The same was true even if special circumstances were created.
Charon would break everything and appear to save the students.
Anyway, this means that there is absolutely no need to worry even if it is a group full of extras.
Because behind us is the murder tank Charon.
“Oh, it’s time. Let’s get right into it. “Have you prepared your formation?”
“Yes, we simply divided it into the front line, middle line, and rear line.”
Three in the front, two in the middle, and three in the rear.
Luna and I were lieutenants.
“It’s not bad. As everyone knows, I will only intervene when there is danger. So please be as careful as possible.”
It was a time when I was moving along the road.
One of the kids in the rear asked.
“There were a lot of holes in the square… … “Isn’t it dangerous?”
“It was dangerous at first. But it’s safe now. “More than 80% of it has been blocked.”
“Couldn’t the ants break through again?”
“Haha, you’ve never had anything like that before? Even if it gets through, there will only be one or two places. “That much can be prevented.”
“What if all the holes are drilled?”
“Hmm, then of course it’s dangerous, right? But that won’t happen. “Ants can’t be that intelligent, right?”
“okay. By the way, can I cut off some of the ant’s legs? “I’m going to brag to my parents this weekend.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter how much you can fit in your pocket.”
“Then I’ll take it too. “I’ll give it to you when I confess!”
“Well, if I do something wrong, we’ll end up being close friends, right?”
ha ha ha.
The happy laughter of the children and instructors rang out.
Of course, I was dumbfounded after hearing their conversation.
‘what? There’s no hole? Are ants less intelligent? Bragging to your parents? confession?’
It must be difficult to pile up clichés like this.
And those are all just clichés about death.
Is there such a thing as an extra group?
‘It was all because of these guys.’
It wasn’t a trick by the game developers, it was definitely these guys who piled up clichés like crazy to make things worse.
‘Ant Cave Square Attack Incident.’
Contrary to the instructor’s expectations, the ants worked diligently to create a path, and most of the blocked holes were on the verge of being opened.
The moment the protagonist and his party return to the square and are about to take a rest, an attack by ants begins.
In the game, this is the first battle after the tutorial, and the battle where the main characters realize each other’s existence.
At the same time.
‘It’s a battle where I can level up by storm.’
Also called explosion.
The quest to kill 100 demon beasts was also scheduled to be completed.
There are a few minor problems, but it will work out somehow.
‘The biggest problem is getting rid of the stalker… … .’
I looked to the side.
stalker… … No, Luna was constantly alert to her surroundings.
The tension was raised to the highest level.
Being a good person, I decided to help Luna relax.
“Miss Luna.”
“why.”
“What would happen if you divided an ant into three parts?”
“Do you think I’m a fool? “It’s the head, chest, and stomach.”
Luna laughed and asked, “What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
He spoke firmly to Luna.
“No, I’m dying. “If you divide an ant into three, it dies.”
“… … .”
Cluck cluck.
I did it, but when I think about it again, it’s incredible wit and sense of humor.
Did my consideration work?
Luna, who was staring at me, smiled brightly.
“Zero, do you know what happens when a person bites another person?”
Oh, are you trying to relax me this time?
Luna is so considerate.
I felt like crying at the growth of my daughter(?).
But this is my first time hearing a quiz like that.
“Hehe, will I become a zombie?”
“No, if someone bites someone else, they die.”
“yes? What kind of problem is that… … .”
The children slowly moved away from me.
Instructor Ron also fell far away.
Why is everyone moving away?
ah.
Luna was seen opening her mouth wide and moving it around.
Only then did I realize it. The meaning of Luna’s quiz.
“You think not? Then you can try it. right?”
“Oh, please don’t come, Miss Luna.”
“Don’t be nervous. “I’m just trying to give you the right answer.”
Luna slowly approached. With a smile on her face.
After a while.
My screams echoed throughout my cavity.
* * *
After a minor accident where his head was bitten by a wild beast named Luna.
We continued along the road and soon reached our destination.
“Collect the wooden paddle over there. And when I go back, it’s over.”
Instructor Ron pointed to one wall.
There was a small wooden plaque hanging on the wall, with the words ‘Article 3’ engraved on it.
“what. Is it over already? “It’s not as big a deal as you think, right?”
“Iknow, right. “No one was hurt.”
“Have you finished everything?”
Hmm, spouting the best clichés to death.
I don’t know how many times this has happened already.
As the saying goes, clichés are science, countless hidden demons attack us while we are unguarded… … .
-Nothing like that happened.
How can you say clichés that cause problems and still live?
These guys are so lucky.
‘Well, the attack will start when we return to the square.’
The so-called Ant Cave Square siege incident.
They are probably still gathering one after another for a siege.
“Anyway, I didn’t know low-level magicians were this weak. “You’ll be able to catch even mid-level demons with ease?”
“what. “He was shaking and fought only after his legs fell off.”
“Well, are you just looking for an opportunity? “There’s no problem with dozens of these guys coming!”
“I have to confess to her when I get back.”
Even during this time, you are steadily accumulating clichés. These are really great extras.
If it ends with no deaths this time, I might come to truly respect Charon.
“We have arrived. “Everyone worked hard.”
We were able to return to the square before long.
A hollow wall with countless holes.
It gives me goosebumps to watch it again.
Soon, ants will pour down from there like rain.
“Oh, you’ve come a long way. “This rider has great skills, right?”
I looked around. Approximately 70% of the personnel appear to have returned.
This means that an attack is imminent.
At the same time, it also meant that the time for explosions had arrived.
‘There are three things to do now.’
First, find the secret passage.
Second, it escapes the eyes of others, including Charon.
And the last third.
‘stalker… … No, take Luna off.’
“What are you thinking now?”
“… … Hehehe, you didn’t do anything?”
“It’s suspicious… … .”
Luna tilted her head.
A child who is usually clueless can be very perceptive at times like this.
As expected, he was like a stalker.
“Miss Luna, aren’t you thirsty? Shall I bring it?”
“no? “I don’t need it?”
“I’m thirsty. “I’ll be back for a bit.”
“Come with me. “I was thirsty too.”
“… … ?”
Am I not able to follow the flow of conversation?
It seemed like I said it wasn’t necessary about two lines ago.
“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a moment.”
“You said you were going to drink water?”
“Hehe, I think I’ll cum before then. “Do you want to come and see?”
Luna frowned.
It seems like it’s a bit difficult to follow me to the bathroom.
“… … Give me 60 seconds. “Run and come.”
Only 60 seconds?
If I really wanted to go to the bathroom, I would have been in a lot of trouble.
Even though he looks like this, he is a huge(?) person.
Of course, we’re talking about height.
After mingling with the children, I quietly headed towards the wall.
And then he started groping the wall here and there.
