Chapter 62
062 . Maximum Soul“I’m the leader of [Maximum Soul] Lainas . ”
This chaps amazing . He’s named the temporary party and named himself leader right off the bat .
That’s not something anyone can do .
“It was no accident that we all met today . It was destiny!”
His beats surging up . Is he unexpectedly the hot-blooded type?
Everybody else looks a bit wary but none have left yet . I guess it’s because they are all porters .
Basically, porters don’t hunt monsters . They exist to haul luggage . Naturally, due to this their level does not go up .
It might be an attractive offer for them though, hunting slime’s in the first couple wards of the first level .
Let’s have a look at the strategy for the newly formed [Maximum Soul]
Vanguard: Lainas Weapon: Longsword
Vanguard: Man A Weapon: Knife
Vanguard: Man B Weapon: Knife
Vanguard: Man C Weapon: Knife
Vanguard: Man D Weapon: Knife
Vanguard: Man E Weapon: Knife
Vanguard: Man F Weapon: Knife
Rearguard: Me Weapon: Handgun & Gobu
Formation: Lainas leads and the rest follow behind .
Strategy: Kill any enemy found . First come first served .
Is this a good strategy?
Porters often carry staffs to a.s.sist with the carrying of heavy luggage .
A knife is the for the basics such as dismantling dead monsters so naturally all of them have knives .
I’m pretty biased but they should still be taking care even in the first couple wards of the first floor .
I’m only partic.i.p.ating out of some type of morbid curiosity that has outweighed my fear .
“A slime has appeared!”
“Waa!”
“Another one over there!”
“Waa!”
It’s like first-grade football practice . Everyone is going for the ball .
Except for me anyway . I’m staying at the back .
With my aiming skill, I’m likely to hit an ally with them running around all over the place .
I cautiously watch our surroundings while the vanguard locates the enemy .
Lainas got angry at me for staying at the back watching the fighting .
“You’ve done nothing since we came in!”
“Ah, yes . ”
“Ah, yes . ”
I don’t get angry . Rather I have to endure and hold back my laughter .
“That’s no good . You need awareness as a member of [Maximum Soul] . Do your job properly . ”
“…………… . ”
How should I respond?
“What’s your rank?”
“It’s 10 . ”
“Ahh, a newbie . I guess it can’t be helped . I might not look it but I’m 9th ranked . Ask me anything if there’s something you don’t understand . ”
Lainas smiles refreshingly while patting me on the shoulder before heading off back to the front .
He doesn’t seem like a bad person though I still have to laugh at their disorderly hunting .
This is due to the trend that porters are not allowed to hunt so they don’t develop good hunting styles .
I still can’t determine is Lainas is a fool or not .
You usually learn to be an adventurer while acting as a porter .
You make connections, get hired by a party and get introduced, though a lot of people are bad at communicating and some are poor at selling themselves .
Such people do not find it easy to get hired by a party and remain as porters for many years .
Lainas’ invitation would have been a boon for them .
On the other hand, the income from this trip will be hardly anything .
Slimes do not give anything that can be sold and are almost infamous for their poor drop rate of demon stones .
So far only 2 have dropped so that’s 3000 rims in all .
Divided by 8 that’s not even 400 rims each .
You can’t live on that but everybody looks happy . Their experience has risen for the first time in ages . I guess they realise that their levels will be going up soon .

Occasionally, adventures like this are okay .
As expected, they stopped before entering the second ward . I guess we won’t need to die today .
We secured a small room and took a break .
Nearly everyone was silent but all their faces were bright .
Some other party had left some firewood behind so we lit a fire for some warmth and I boiled myself some water to drink .
I wanted tea but since I didn’t have any, just hot water will do to warm my body up .
One of the members timidly opened their mouth while relaxing .
“Excuse me but is our line formation really necessary?”
“I was also thinking that . ”
They might have been a chaotic mess but they are still adventurers .
They seemed to have noticed their faults already .
“That’s true . It makes us easy victims if a monster ambushes us but luckily there are not many around here . ”
“How about doing the vanguard in shifts?”
“How about 3 at the front then 2 then 2 then 1 at the rear?”
“Wouldn’t 3 – 3 – 2 be better?”
“It could be fatal to have no weapons at the rear . ”
“You could just throw a stone?”
Everybody starts pa.s.sing on their opinions .
What’s this?
Everybody starts pa.s.sing on their opinions .
What’s this?
It a very fun feeling!
Everybody has an excited face .
This could be the formation of a true party .
Afterwards, they decided on a new formation, practised their cooperation and performed various simulations .
They even discussed what to do if ambushed .
The time flew by in an instant .
I think I can say it was a good move to come here .
I don’t think the second ward will give them much in the way of a problem now .
Lainas nods contentedly .
“Maybe next time we can come to the second ward!? Finally [Maximum Soul] can get a real start too!”
Somebody murmurs
“I…I would like another party name…… . ”
“Aah, I think so too…… . . ”
“I agree……… . ”
“Okay then . Well, I’m against it… . . ”
Un . This party has been formed .
Good luck Lainas!
Good luck [Maximum Soul] (provisionally)!
Of course, I declined my invitation . My home is with [Phoenix Company] .
