chapter 13
13. area expansion
After purchasing all the necessary items, I returned to the forge, and there was Luna, who had changed from a pretty dress to leather armor, as if she had prepared hard while I was gone.
“···How is it?”
“Good.”
The wagging tail is always a pleasure to receive compliments, whether you like it or not.
She’s not even the main heroine, but she looks like a heroine because she’s dressed in leather armor that fits snugly to her dishonest appearance.
That mamma pain is too irritating for sympathy.
Looking at Luna like that, I thought that it was really fortunate that the first party member I saved was not a dirty guy.
What if the muscular man was your ally and the man is wearing clingy leather armor?
And do you have to see it every day?
“Woo-wook!”
“Why is that!?”
“Uh. Nothing.”
I just imagined it, but what I ate this morning is regurgitating.
‘I should never accept a male colleague.’
when I was thinking like that.
The daggers on both sides of Luna’s waist caught my eye.
“······What is it. Luna, do you use a dagger?”
“Oh, yes.”
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
My first colleague and the first member of the harem would be the first thing to do.
It’s like using two daggers instead of just one.
When I was playing a game in the past, the memory of the first person who said, ‘I’m good at dealing’ died because of a control error and ended up ruining the raid all by myself.
“Are you thinking of using another weapon?”
“Is there any problem…?”
It seems to me that there is nothing but a problem in my eyes.
While I was looking at Luna and the dagger with suspicious eyes, Luna, noticing his gaze, cautiously spoke to me.
“You don’t have to worry. I’ll show you today with my skills.”
What you say sounds like a typical scammer, but…
‘He must be weaker than me.’
There must be a reason for talking confidently, and if you can use magic, but if you are weaker than me who can’t use magic, it’s better for your mental health to just throw away the harem.
“Tsk… Yes. You’ll do it yourself.”
I’d rather tell them to use twin swords, but since I’ve already bought them, I can’t change them now.
“Let’s go quickly before it’s too late.”
After coming out of the smithy, we headed straight over the wall and into the forest.
Before entering the forest, I reflected on the explanation Adela had given me.
The location where the War Wolf appears is a little farther back from the entrance of the forest where the Goblins appear.
It is said that the locations where monsters appear are all different because there is a hierarchy among monsters.
War wolves, who are stronger than goblins, occupy a better place than goblins, and it is said that territorial disputes will occur if they cross the territory.
“Luke! It’s not that way!”
“Oh yeah?”
Of course, I heard the explanation, but I’m not sure.
Just because I heard it once, Luna finding her way in the forest is weird, not me who doesn’t know.
“How do you find your way so well?”
“From my point of view, Luke-sama seems to be a severe stray…”
You can’t help it.
There is no Gakao map here?
Rather than not having it, having it and not having it is more tangible than I thought.
“So, how long do you have left?”
“I think we’re almost there.”
As if she had a navigation system in her head, Luna moved forward without hesitation.
and not long after
“Luke. I think there are traces here.”
“Okay? Let’s see.”
When I approached the tree Luna pointed out and looked closely at the roots, the color of the bark was so different that I could barely see it with my eyes wide open.
“Wow, how did you see this?”
“I’m a wolf beast, so my sense of smell is more sensitive than anyone else’s. I smelled it right there.”
Oh… Now that I look at it, I thought it was a fire giant, but it’s really an ace when it comes to finding traces.
Without Luna, I would have been lost all day again.
“Very well done! Congrats!”
-Ssut-dam-sseu-dam.
It’s good that you pet it, and it wags its tail gently.
“Then it seems that this area is the territory of the War Wolf, what are you going to do?”
“What do you do?”
I have to entice you.
***
“You’re luring me?”
Luna questioned Luke’s words.
“Uh. We don’t have to bother looking for it, right?”
Whether it’s monsters or people, you always fight with your own advantage.
If I go to the opponent, isn’t it like entering the opponent’s home ground with my own feet?
You don’t have to fight so stupidly unless it’s absolutely necessary.
It’s annoying to look for it as a bonus.
It was the same with the goblins, but even if we search hard, we may not be able to meet them, and even if we do meet them, it will take a lot longer than luring them in.
such inefficient behavior. I can’t stand it.
“How are you going to do Yuin?”
-chuck.
To Luna’s question, Luke planted a twig in the ground and answered.
“First, before we lure them out, we need to find more that we marked the territory with.”
“Yes···?”
Since you’ve already found one, the whole area around here must be Warwolf territory, so why do you need another sign?
Luna couldn’t understand Luke’s behavior.
Although it was suspicious, I decided to do as I was told, thinking that Luke might have an idea this time as well, as Luke is different from others in thinking about his true self.
“Oh, before I go find the next one.”
“·······?”
Luke looked back in the direction where the tree branch was stuck.
– Jiik.
“Kyaa, kyaaak!!”
Luna, watching to see what else was left, couldn’t help but scream at his next move.
Aren’t they suddenly unzipping the zipper and exposing important parts?
Luna, who was staring at him from behind out of vain curiosity, saw with her own two eyes the protrusion of his pants, and it was natural for her to be surprised since it was the first time she had seen a penis.
“Oh, surprise. Why are you screaming all of a sudden?”
However, unlike Luna, Luke was calm.
Rather, I was a little surprised by Luna suddenly screaming from behind.
‘You shouldn’t be tempted by shouting. That’s why I can’t be a rookie.’
How wide is the forest, how can it be aggro to the extent of shouting in this wide place?
All I did to the goblins in the past was because I screamed openly in front of their house.
“Gee, why are you taking that out all of a sudden!?”
“You said you would lure it.”
“What does that have to do with Yuin!”
Luna hurriedly turned around, but at first she looked too closely, so when she closed her eyes, she kept getting stepped on.
Originally, I thought it was a bit strange, but today it seems especially more so.
“Are you asking because you really don’t know why you need this?”
“There will be no one in the world who can see and know that except Luke.”
Are you saying people here aren’t that intelligent?
Do you have to explain all these basic things?
“Haa… Listen Luna. While you were away, a thief broke in and was robbing your house, and you found it when you returned home. So what are you going to do?”
“······Capture or kill.”
“That’s right!”
“·······?”
After hearing Luke’s explanation, Luna still made an expression that she didn’t know anything.
“Look closely. This is their territory. So it’s their house. We’re robbing an empty house.”
I peed over the territory mark Warwolf had made.
– Squeak.
“Ryoiki Tenkai.”
Now I have overlaid my realm over the War Wolf’s realm.
What do you mean?
While War Wolf was away, a thief named ‘I’ entered the empty house and robbed it at will.
And since one of the areas I marked has disappeared, they will be puzzled.
To put it in an analogy, the landlord is watching through CCTV, but he is robbing an empty house.
So what will the landlord do?
‘Is this bastard crazy?’ They’d call the police, or they’d go to smash the thief’s head.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
My way of inducing is the latter case.
“Okay. Now that we’ve done one, let’s go to the next, Luna.”
“······Yes.”
Luna disapproved of it, but because of Luke, who was too confident, she couldn’t say anything and did as she was told.
I circled around the first mark I found and looked for other signs.
And the second found mark.
“Here it is.”
“OK.”
This time, the traces were visible on the floor between the trees, not the trees.
As before, Luke unzipped the zipper without hesitation.
Luna, who knew it, turned around and stood at the same time as announcing the sign.
I could feel it after going through that series of processes a few more times.
The more we went, the more muddy the ground and the damp trees were that Luke could see with his naked eyes, even without Luna’s help.
It is getting closer and closer to the War Wolf.
“I’m watching again this time. I’ll finish it soon.”
“Yes······.”
Because of Luke, who became defenseless every time he acted, Luna tried to turn around and watch.
But.
-Auuu—————————————————————————————————M
“You’re right. You’re caught.”
“·······.”
It was the appearance of the long-awaited monster, but Luna couldn’t help but be happy.
‘Does this work…?’
Even though they could hear the sound of War Wolf in the immediate vicinity, they did not feel any tension or alertness due to the battle.
Now, it’s just surprising that the nonsensical lure method worked.
It felt like all the knowledge I had so far had become useless.
“What are you doing, Luna? You’re here.”
“Ah yes···!”
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Mate.
Luna slapped herself on the cheek.
‘Calm down. Now is the time to show off my skills.’
Luke’s suspicious look at the forge.
No matter how he looked at it, he doubted his own abilities.
That’s why Luna had to prove her skills by showing her how to hunt this time.
And, before long, dark shadows began to move one by one in the direction from which the cries were heard, and soon they appeared in Luke and Luna’s field of vision.
“Luke-sama… I think the lure effect is too good…”
“Yeah.”
The owners, whose houses were robbed in front of their eyes, must have been quite angry, so they called their friends, not individuals, and went to dig.
-Kreurreureu·······.
Two warwolves, twice as large as large dogs, with gray hair, roamed on either side.
Between them, a little later, stood a war wolf with dark gray fur, taller than a normal war wolf, with a long scar over his left eye, as if he were their leader.
“Now what?”
Luke thought.
‘Experience double event!?’
