Kuro no Shoukanshi

Chapter 63 Dragon Sea Cave

About a week has pa.s.sed since I caught Kristoff, the main culprit of Black Wind . Originally, Touya and the other heroes were supposed to board the ship from Trage and head to the western continent, but the procedure was delayed by the post-processing of the black wind riot . The warriors in the castle seemed to have been busy for the past week, and the hero’s testimony was necessary for Trage and the Adventurer’s Guild .

Since I couldn’t afford to spend the time carelessly, I have trained the heroes in a nearby dungeon since the first day of the vacation . Although it was near, the rank is A grade, the highest danger dungeon “Dragon Sea Cave” . If you are an ordinary adventurer, this dungeon can kill you in no time . The other day I felt Touya’s power in the game, it was definitely better than Kristoff . In other words, he was more capable than an Cla.s.s adventurer . Then, if he didn’t train in such a place, it would be such a waste .

Why should I train the Heroes? Well, well, that’s it . There is no particular reason . Speaking of strength, they are the heroes that Melfina picked out, and maybe because they were from my home country (I’m not talking about the reincarnation) . Although it is a short time, it became a somewhat familiar relationship, and it would be bad aftertaste if they died there . I want them to complete the mission of defeating the Demon King . I want to fight the Demon King, but sometimes I need to be patient .

“d.a.m.n, it’s soft and you can’t cut it with a sword . ”

“Touya, be careful! Oktogigant has charged!”

“Miyabi, Nana! The back supporter can grasp the situation well! If the vanguard retreat isn’t fast enough, change the water into ice and use it as a foothold! It’s better!”

“Understood!”

“Think about how to make more use of white magic! A battle is not just swinging your sword and throw your skills away!”

“Roger that!”
I have a role to a.s.sist when it became dangerous while pointing the faults of each person that carry out the actual fight with the monsters in the dungeon . The monster that Touya and his team are fighting with is cla.s.s Oktogigant . It is a green eagle with horns like antennas; it is a strong enemy whose physical damage is halved by the characteristics of its skin and soft body . Also, since high-voltage electricity is emitted from its body, flexible combat is required in this field where the floor is almost covered with water .

We’ll do several sets of battles with such powerful monsters and take a moderate break . During that time, the foundation is raised without waste . Gérard is giving swordsmanship instruction and the magical instruction by me and Efil . At first, she wanted to help Sara, but she was not good at teaching people . It’s like a genius type that moves with its own sense .

“Hold it here and then! Bang! Isn’t it easy?”

“……eh?”

“Then, this…gutsu! Don! Gut! Rhythm is important . ”

“… Kelvin, please translate . ”

“I can’t . ”

To explain, the expressions are just onomatopoeias and it doesn’t make up any sense . I thought that she would be a good mentor among those who deal with black magic, but it doesn’t work out well . So, Sara took Clotho (a body specialized in combat power) and disappeared into the depth of the dungeon to kill time . It seems that the two players are making good progress as I occasionally hear a level up fanfare . I tell them to come back once they find a boss .

After that, we move forward to the depths of the dungeon . This cycle is repeated while leveling up and gaining experience .

Fortunately, Touya and his team were blessed with status, so the goal is to get them used to battle . In the past, they were been able to overcome the enemy without difficulty under the protection of the Holy Knights, with their high basic abilities and skills . But if they want to go further, they need to break the sh.e.l.l . This was just the foundation for that, and it was up to them whether they could grow one step further .

The rest is knowledge of skills . I don’t understand everything, but I’ve taught the doubling skills that are useful so far . I don’t know if they need this skill that uses some valuable skill points because Touya has raised his level to nearly 60 . I’m trying not to tell anyone that it’s a secret, but I’m a little worried . If anything happens, it’s a full course .

By the way, Sara, Gerard, and Clotho couldn’t learn Doubling Skill . There was no doubling skill in the skill item . I don’t know why . Efil was able to get it safely at level 1, the skills that can be gained by different races such as humans and elves may be different .

“Okay, Let’s take a break . ”

I searched the surroundings with sign sense, confirmed the safety and declared a break .

“Wow, I’m tired . ”

“That’s definitely hard . I haven’t been this tired since the special training at Delamis . ”

“Since you usually skip training”

“I’m hungry……”

“It’s already noon … I forget the time when I’m in the cave . Efil, get ready for lunch . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

“Now, this one will do the watch first . ”

“I’m sorry, but I left it to you . We’ll take turns later . ”
Efil removes the picnic basket and a rug from Clotho’s storage . They were placed neatly and were ready for the meal in seconds .

“The rice from Tsubaki sama was cooked in the form of a large-sized mobile meal . It seems to be a traditional dish called “Onigiri” . ”

Cheers are raised when Efil opens the basket .

“Oh, it’s Onigiri!”

“I was impressed when I saw rice at Trage castle, but the Onigiri makes me feel nostalgic …”

“My tears are coming out…”

“The side dish is like a picnic lunch . It reminds me of my school lunch break . ”

This surprised me too . Efil seemed to have learned a variety of dishes other than j.a.panese . Okay, well done! I stroked Efil’s head more than usual . But …

“Do not forget that this is a dungeon? It’s a big deal if the monsters come to you with the cheers you just made . ”

“Oh, so … you have to be careful …”

“Memo, memo in my heart . ”

There seems to be much more to learn besides combat . It’s okay because a put a silent wall around us .

“Well then, itadakimasu . ”

“””Itadakimasu”””

“Yes, enjoy your meal . ”

A bite of nostalgic Onigiri . This is … The rice grains held in the mouth are unrolled all at once, and the contents are refreshingly sour . It’s exactly a taste harmony . It is the home of rice, a sacred taste that has never been tasted in modern j.a.pan . No way, I don’t think it will reproduce umeboshi (dried plum) in this different world…… Trage, don’t be reckoned with! What’s more surprising is Efil’s skill that is finished with exquisite control as a skilled sushi chef holds the onigiri, a dish just learned the other day! Oh, that’s funny, my eyes are blurry, and I can’t see the front .

“Eh, Efil, you raised your skills again … It was too delicious, and tears came out . ”

“Since my cooking skill has finally become S-cla.s.s . I worked hard with all my heart!”

Are you serious? This is what you get when you make it with S-Cla.s.s cooking skills? No, my body is really hot!?

“Oh, it has an auxiliary effect . Is it because you ate Efil’s food?”

Looking at the status, the letters “S-cla.s.s cooking / magical increase” was listed in the auxiliary effect column . When examining the effect time further with the Appraisal eye, the remaining 23 hours and 59 minutes are displayed . Hey, does the effect last a whole day? Let’s try another bite .

“Delicious……”

I brimmed with tears every time I chew, S-cla.s.s cooking … But wasn’t there more effects? It may be a specification that cannot be superimposed .

“Thank you Efil, thank you so much!”

“I will never forget the taste of this Onigiri!”
“Tears won’t stop …”

“Are you a G.o.d?”

“Uh, uh … Was that poor?” (TN: osomatsusamades.h.i.ta, expression of humility said by the person who provided a meal after it is eaten . )

Four people say thanks while crying . It’s good to be impressed, but Efil draws back a little .

“Oh, did you eat first? What’s this?”

In the midst of the chaos, Sara’s advance team has returned . Clotho was also with Sara .

“No, no, it’s just … how was Sara?”

“There was a monster room on the way, so I annihilated it . Over there, it wasn’t an infinite springing . It’s not going to boil in the place where it’s been knocked out . ”

A monster room is an area where many monsters appear, which is common in dungeon exploration games . One of the most important traps that the monsters that live in the dungeon spring and attack with an amount that seems to be an infinite number of monsters appearing . It seems that she had annihilated it . That’s why the fanfare of the level-up was ringing frequently .

“And then, I find the boss – this is delicious!”

The very important information was interrupted by Efil’s onigiri .
