Chapter 11 – Another World (1)
Episode 11 – Another World (1)
Battle with monster ants that are familiar now. Having evacuated the young elves to her home, she prepared for battle alone this time.
She must have known that she herself was dangerous and lacking, so she must have returned to her hometown as an exiled body and asked for help.
But as a result, she is alone again. The little elves that came with her couldn’t help her yet.
Looking at it, she thought it was a good purchase for Battlebot 001. I wanted to tell her that she wasn’t fighting alone, not just watching her like this, but really helping her in her moment of crisis.
‘I missed it.’
Pulling her compound bow all the way to shoot, she fired a series of powerful blows that could hardly be called arrows any longer, and sniped at the approaching beast ants, but it was impossible for her to kill all three beast ants.
As she flings herself to avoid the bite of the injured ant, one quickly starts charging towards the World Tree.
After narrowly arranging the two, she hurriedly lifted her bow again, but if she continues at this rate, the World Tree will be damaged and polluted again.
“—!”
But at that time, I wondered if I needed to obtain refined magic power again. The boy who jumped out of the door of the miniature house shot an arrow at the monster ant and turned its attention to himself.
Her face instantly turns pale.
And at the end of that momentary conflict, the beast ant changed her own purpose to a young elf who looked much weaker than the world tree.
“Oh.”
In the desperate scene where I was watching with sweat on my hands, the elf boy, who faced a monster ant much bigger than himself, gritted his teeth and ran up the exterior wall of the miniature house.
As the ant’s jaw narrowly brushed his body, he gasped for breath as he managed to reach the balcony on the second floor of the miniature house.
The blue flash that flew right after it immediately lodged itself in the body of the beast ant and toppled the beast ant trying to invade the second floor of the miniature house. She ran and finished it.
[End of the 2nd wave]
‘It’s over. For now.’
Soon, with the sound of the end of the second wave, the ant’s breath was completely cut off.
However, the wave will not end. If that monster ant nest is a real dungeon I know, it will continue to spit monsters out until the core inside it is destroyed. In the first place, leaving the dungeon unattended until a kind of shock called a wave occurred was a taboo among taboos in this era.
“As expected, I get scolded.”
After the battle with the monster ants.
Bringing cup noodles, I watched as the furious woman put her boy on his knees and shuggled.
I don’t know what kind of relationship they have, but it seemed like we could roughly understand each other’s feelings.
She must have been worried that he might get hurt when he was young, and he wanted to help himself. That scene that veterans and newcomers inevitably go through was, in a way, a very familiar sight to me.
‘What am I going to do now?’
That time when the scolding time is over and a little awkward time comes. She climbed the world tree alone. She climbed to the tallest branch of the World Tree, and before she knew it, she climbed to the same eye level as me sitting on the floor.
Of course I can see her beautiful figure with her hair flying, but she doesn’t see me.
That expression is full of worry and worry. It’s not a very nice look. But since she’s already done everything she can, how will she deal with her future problems that will continue to come? I was curious about that.
Because he’s the kind of person who somehow overcame all the crises he’s ever faced.
‘I have to ease the awkward atmosphere.’
It was hard to see that elf boy sitting in the corner, or her face hardened in frustration, so I stood up with the finished cup of ramen.
Then what I packed was the sandals I received by courier. A gift I bought to give to newcomers. If this can lighten the mood and make them feel better for a little while, it’s well worth the money.
[Transfer items]
I transferred the new shoes from the box into the planter.
At the same time, she, who was still on top of the world tree and watching the direction of the anthill, saw something falling from the sky and turned around with a surprised face.
Her eyes met hers for a moment, but her eyes quickly turned downward.
An elf girl who happened to be nearby was sneaking up with curiosity to the shoes that fell to the ground.
“–!”
She went down to the ground at once, picked up the shoes that had fallen on the floor, and called the young elves together.
Both the girl whose eyes sparkled with her curiosity, and the boy who still didn’t look happy, looked at the shoes she was holding and her eyes widened.
“– —.”
Recovering her smile as her self pointed to the shoes she was wearing on her feet, she raised her head and looked up at her sky.
Soon they all tilt their heads and look up at the sky, and their eyes meet exactly.
At the same time, they all greeted me. It seems that the release of the atmosphere I intended worked well.
The young elves hurriedly took off their shoes and tried on the new shoes they were touching as if they were curious, and the girl in particular chatted and ran all over the place.
‘If I can protect it.’
I know how difficult it is to protect something. But even if you think it’s impossible, that’s what you have to do.
She seems to be well aware of that. That evening, she came out of the house alone and started preparing her own things.
I made a more powerful weapon by tying the hatchet tightly to the iron pipe that I was using as a melee weapon, and I took the arrows back and stuffed them into a homemade quiver.
I also made things that looked like torches and packed them in my luggage. It’s like going somewhere.
‘To clear the dungeon.’
I knew what her intentions were. If you stay still like this, you will only be defeated. She seemed to know that the only way to stop the invasion was to attack first and destroy the dungeon core.
“…–.”
But before long, her hands trembled and stopped as she made wooden arrows the same size as steel arrows so that they could be used as compound bows.
Fear, fear. It’s something that can’t be avoided unless you’re a crazy psycho.
You have to enter the endless cave alone and fight against the number of enemies you don’t know. The minimum number of people required to clear a dungeon is 6 or more. Going to a dungeon by yourself without any companions to look after you is a stupid suicide act that will never hear anything good even if you are brutally torn to death.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the anthill is like a real dungeon, but according to my common sense, she is going to die now.
‘Even knowing that.’
But she moved her hand again. Sometimes, she gets to the point where she has to fight even when she knows she’s going to die.
She knows that too and she has no options. As long as there were a lot of things I wanted to protect on those small and narrow shoulders, I had to fight what I couldn’t do.
It would be fortunate if it ended at the line of injury. There is a high probability that you will die, and the end may be more terrible.
[The ant nest vibrates]
[Transfer items]
So what I wanted to protect was the same for me. Definitely this time.
Late afternoon on a Sunday, the day after she finished preparing for her dungeon raid.
As she looked at the four monster ants that came to her with a determined face to defeat the attackers once a day and immediately attack the ant nest, her eyes widened in astonishment as she saw something huge falling from the air. .
“—!!!”
“–!”
The same goes for the young elves waiting on the roof of the miniature house with nervous faces.
To my eyes, it was about a drop, but to them, it must have been a shaking that shook the land in the area.
“Is this for real? Under.”
With a smirk, I hurriedly grabbed the controller and activated the just-opened Battlebot 001, before they got even more frightened, and charged the monster ants with their gigantic body.
***
To be honest, I can only say that it was a disaster. Compared to the objects that have fallen from the sky so far, I don’t know what it is because it was so big that it covered the miniature house, it was black, and it moved by itself.
Even the black and hard body resembled the carapace of demon beast bugs, so at first she thought the enemy had appeared and hurriedly aimed her bow at it.
The reason he didn’t shoot it right away was because it came from the sky like the things that had done him favors and help so far.
“…”
But she soon let go of her resentment towards it as it came crashing down with its huge wheels crushing the ground with a loud roar.
Because bright yellow paper had been cut and stuck to that hideous-looking monster’s face.
The words written on the large piece of paper were the same as those written on the note she treasured.
‘I’ll help you’
She can’t read the angular and exotic letters. But I could understand its meaning.
In fact, it was not she who charged at this black monster making a roaring sound, rolling its wheels, but the monster ants that were coming here.
