Chapter 24-Hanano's hidden talent

{SPONSORED CHAPTER-4(last)}

Running as quietly as possible, I made my way to the entrance of the Orc Lord's room. I peeked into the room and saw blood everywhere. There were only two bodies visible. The survivors are still at ....... I could see three of them standing inside.

　

　More than ten Orc Soldiers had already been summoned, and they were surrounded by a group of them, including the Orc Lord. Of the three surviving adventurers, the one who looked like a tank had already broken his left arm and was simply holding a battered shield with his right hand, which must have taken a strong impact. The two men behind him were in a daze of fear. It seems that the orcs are enjoying themselves, not killing them all at once.

(Hmmm. What should I do?

　

　Even though I'm now level 8, it's still risky to jump into that group of orcs. But abandoning them is also a bad idea. I don't have time to worry about what to do. My sister is also in danger.

(Kill as many as you can, and if you can catch them, catch them. If it looks impossible, run away. Let's do this.)

　

　The orc-soldiers were not paying attention to us, as if they were absorbed in tormenting the adventurers. The adventurers who are still alive will not be able to defeat the ...... Orc Soldiers, from the looks of it. For now, let's try to reduce the number of them by two or three.

　

　I sneak up on them, muffling my footsteps, and stab the Orc Soldier in front of me in the back of the neck. First one. When the next Orc turned around, I gave it a reverse kesa attack from the left flank to the right. It screams in pain and collapses, but it is not dead yet.

　

　That's when all the Orc Lords noticed me at once. I avoid the swing of the Orc Soldier who was next to me on the left, then put the tip of the blade to my neck and pull. A large amount of blood spurts out, and this is the second one. He immediately strikes the orc that just fell, and then the third.

《Bumoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

　

　Due to the Orc Lord's "Yell", four new Orc Soldiers emerge from the black mist and are born and fall. Furthermore, due to the effect of the Scream, the surrounding Orc Soldiers took on a red effect and their attack power was strengthened by two levels.

　

　The orc lord, perhaps because his fun was interrupted, became enraged and tried to swing the log in his hand at me, but it hit a nearby orc soldier and sent him flying into the wall. That's a lot of power.

　

　Two Orc Soldiers rush towards me, trying to swing down their rusty iron swords with all their might, but I run away. I can't go any further.

"I'll draw them away! Take advantage of the opportunity and run!"

　

　The Orcs were stunned for a moment as I ran away with my tail between my legs, but after throwing three firecrackers at them, they came to their senses and started dashing towards me one after another.

「「「「 Bumoooooooo! 」」」」

"I'm still no match for those numbers, but I caught them well.

　

　The Orclord activates his Yell over and over again as he runs after me, and the Orc Soldiers are mass-produced like never before. The escape route to the suspension bridge is something I'm used to by now, and I adjust my escape speed so that the passengers in the train don't fall apart, and throw in a few extra firecrackers. Okay, we're almost to the bridge drop point.

　

"This way, Onii!　　...... hiiii"

"Get ready to cut the rope!

　

　That's pretty scary, there must be over 50 of them. That's a new record.

　

　The bridge is swaying, but I've found that the most stable way to move is to lower my center of gravity and use my lower body to eliminate as much of the sway as possible. There's a huge difference in my bridge-crossing skills compared to the first time I did it.

"Cut it right after I cut it. Not yet!"

"Okay, okay!"

　

　I finally made it across and took out my pruning shears. But it would take a little longer to cut the wire.

　

　A group of orcs is closing in on us, about 20 meters ahead. I can see the bloodshot eyes of the orc lord and begin to hear his breathing. The suspension bridge shakes and a few of them fall, but the orc group doesn't care about anyone, they just rush forward with their murderous intent on me.

　

　If you look at the back of the group, you will see that ...... the back row has finally gotten on the bridge.

"Hanano, now!"

"Jampu ...... slash!

　

 I'm not sure if it's a special technique or what, but I succeeded in cutting the wire with one shot, and the orcs fell with a scream.

"There were more than I imagined. ...... Ah, what?　It's painful ......."

"It's a symptom of leveling up."

"Ugh. ...... Hmm?　It's a symptom of leveling up.

　

　The rapid level up begins to strengthen her body, and when it's over, her sister is filled with a sense of omnipotence and waves her arms around. I'm only level 1, but if I defeat the Orc Lord and his group so many times, I'll probably go to level 3 or 4 at once.

You still haven't learned the ...... "simple appraisal" skill, right?

"Simple Appraisal?　　I don't know, it's kind of fuzzy. I can set this, can't I?

"You can. Don't change jobs, just raise your [Newbie] job level to 10.

"Yes."

　

　So you've reached level 5 and job level 7 with just one train.

"And by the way, Onii. You're bleeding all over the place. What happened?

"The other adventurer got tangled up with the Orcs and was attacked.

　

　In the past, it was a simple matter of irritating the orc lords and escaping with the train, but this time they were already engaged in battle, and while defeating several orc soldiers, they caught them all together.

"I think they probably got away, but I'll have to go back and see what happened.

"Oh, what about me?"

"If we leave him alone, the items will disappear, so even if we go with him, we should at least try to collect them.

　

　As far as I can see, all the Orcs in the Orc Lord room must have been caught. If the rescue team has been called, there's nothing more we can do, but let's go check it out just in case.

　

　But first, we had to descend about 80 meters to the bottom of the valley. My sister, who was slowly descending, was amazed at her own physical strength.

"I feel so much lighter.

"Don't get carried away or you'll fall down.

　

　We waddled down to the bottom of the valley, where the rocks were scattered. Looking up, I saw a broken bridge hanging over the cliff.

"Wow!　　How much is this?　　Oh, what are these sparkling coins?　　There's an item down there!

"Calm down. I'll sell the magic rocks and stuff to pay for your equipment.

"Okay.

　

　This is a ...... unique item. It's a badge with a pig's mark on it that increases attack damage by 10% and decreases damage taken by 10% against subhumans. Since there are many types of subhumans, even in the deepest levels, items that are effective against subhumans can be used for a long time. This batch is also the reason why hunting Orc Lords was so popular and fought over in the game.

　

　Incidentally, unique items are rare items that can only be obtained by dropping from certain floor bosses or from treasure chests. In the game, they were often fought over and sold at a high price.

"I'll give this item to you. Let's take a look at it with 《Simple Appraisal》.

"I'll give it a try. ...... Yeah!　　Oh, ......, is it strong?

"Keep it on for protection. It's pretty valuable, so don't lose it.

　

　Ogkin-Ogkin-a younger sister who jumps while singing some parody. You should make sure that you don't sell this.

　

　In addition to the batch, there are dozens of demon stones and three dungeon currency, which means you could earn tens of thousands of dollars per train. That's enough to make a living, right?　　I was almost obsessed with a small idea.

"I'll go check out the Orclord's room then, what about you, Hanano?

"I'll go with you since I don't have time to wait for you!

　

　The closest way to get to the Orc Lord's room was to go back the way we came, but since we lost the bridge, we had to take a different, slightly more circuitous route. After collecting all the items and rehydrating, we started moving.

　

　There was a goblin soldier on the way, so I knocked off the metal weapon I was carrying and let my sister experience a fight. The machete I gave her swung around, but it didn't do any fatal damage and only made her bloody and gross. The attacker's sister is in tears.

"It's better to aim for the vital points like the neck, or the arms and legs where you can block the ability to fight.

　

　I have no choice but to drop the goblin's head with a single blow. The goblin soldier was wearing leather armor, so attacking him blindly would have little effect. If I took my time, I could still defeat it, but there was a risk that other monsters would link up with it and it would become a many-to-one battle. In dungeons where monsters may appear at any time, it is best to finish the battle in as short a time as possible. If you don't have a tolerance for gore, you'll just have to get used to it.

　

　I arrived in front of the Orc Lord's room in about 10 minutes while doing so. There was no one in the room, and the surviving adventurers seemed to have escaped safely. On the fifth floor, in addition to the rescue team, there was also a guild employee who was carrying the bodies. Maybe they contacted them and called for backup.

"There's an orc lord here, isn't there? Can you call them to the suspension bridge and then drop them~?"

　

　The Orc Lord will pop in an hour, and the bridge will automatically repair itself in exactly one hour. If you kill them with a bridge drop, you can see which one will allow you to drop the next bridge.

　

　I'll also tell you about traps, cleaning monsters in the path, and whether or not there are adventurers, but more importantly, I'll tell you not to do it until you're level 7 because your running ability may be too severe.

"I'm going to keep the dungeon information confidential. It's a good idea to keep it to yourself. Some scary people might try to harm you with the information."

"All right.

"So let's try a few more times today. By the way, do you remember what your initial skills are?

　

　In my case, I had learned the "Gluttony" skill from the beginning. In general, it's rare for a person to remember their initial skills, so it was more likely that my sister didn't, but when I asked her about it...

"I asked her about it, and she said, "Well, other than 'Simple Appraisal', there's a skill called 'Dual Wield'.

"...... Seriously?"

　

　"Dual wield" is an extra skill that [Samurai] can learn. It is an advanced skill that greatly increases the attack power and hit when holding weapons in both hands, and increases the number of attacks when the weapon skill is activated. If you use the skill of 2 attacks with "Two-sword style", it will be 4 attacks, and there is also a characteristic that the chance is reduced.

　

　The Extra Skill is a skill that can be obtained by completing special quests with a job that is higher than Advanced. In this world, learning this skill early on can be a big advantage.

　

　This is because you have to go to the 40th floor to complete the special quest for the extra skill. In the game, you could ask a high level player to take you to the 40th floor, but that's impossible in this world where the record is 32 floors. I had to go get it myself.

　

　Tazato, the leader of the Colors, is also a [Samurai], but due to the special quests, I'm sure he hasn't learned the [Dual Wield] yet. In fact, Tazato's main weapon in the strategy show was only one sword. In other words, Tazato is still in an incomplete state as a [Samurai].

　

　There are several styles of 《Dual Wield》.

　

　Among Dun-eX players, there were two main styles: the high firepower style, where you concentrate on raising your STR and equip a two-handed weapon in each hand, and the multi-stage attack style, where you specialize in AGI and use a series of skills with many attacks.

"I asked her which one she preferred. "Hmm, if I get a good weapon, I might want to try that one.

"Let's try attacking goblins with that machete and ...... these pruning shears.

"Do you mean I can do" dual wield "? I wonder if I can do it. I mean, this hatchet is quite heavy, so you can swing it with one hand ... Oh, it looks like I can."

　Even middle-school girls with thin lines will have the same or better strength as adult men if they reach level 5, so there should be no problem. When she tried to fight the Goblin Soldier in the same way as before, she attacked with a misleading movement while saying, "I was originally ambidextrous. I can write on either the right or the left."

　 He was a little losing his position in front of his younger sister, who boasts an amazing sense of combat.

　

　* ・ ・ * ・ ・ * ・ ・ * ・ ・ * ・ ・ *

　We had lunch time in the middle of power leveling and ended up with about 3 trains. Today was the first day of the dungeon, and my sister was having fun, but even if she didn't feel it, she was nervous and exhausted, so I'd like to avoid overdoing it.

　It took almost no time for the round trip because I was able to get out of the gate room on the way back. As was the case with the commuting time of companies in the original world, being able to reduce travel time is a huge advantage because the time can be used effectively.

　If you check the time, it's still 2:00 pm. It was too early to finish, so I decided to stop by the Adventurer's Guild's armor store to see my sister's armor.

"Welcome! ... Hmm? Isn't it Ni-chan who bought the wolf's armor?"

"Oh, thank you"

　It's the Ossan of the Higemoja apron who sold the wolf jacket when I visited before. I told you what happened today, so I'll ask you if you have any light armor for your sister. If you still have the wolf skin in stock, I wonder if you can ask for the wolf's breastplate.

"Wait a minute! I hope it's cute!"

"It's cute ... the fluttering one is leather, so it's heavy, right?"

　Leather armor that is supposed to be protected from physical attacks is heavy because it uses thick leather. When I was thinking about how to persuade her, I would use cloth for the fluttering part, so I proclaimed that my sister was stupid as to whether there was something good with a flared skirt.

　It gets in the way when there is a flutter, and I stop thinking about skirts and what in battle. Apparently, she wanted armor like a cute dress that was based on an anime character.

　In the first place, I want you to worry about  Ni-chan's wallet before cuteness and fluttering.

"Well, leather armor feels more like a pitch, but if you're still at level 1, you have to reduce the weight considerably ..."

"I'm already level 6!"

"What !?"

　My sister is less than 150 cm tall and is the smallest of the middle three. In addition, She has a pretty baby face. That's level 6. Uncle Apron is surprised with his eyes wide open and leaning back.

"Well, there seems to be no problem with armor of about 5 kg."

"Hanano ... Please be patient with your breastplate and small hands today."

"Well boots! I want boots too! Cute guy!"

　For some reason, in addition to the wolf's breastplate and small hands, the wolf knee high boots were also bought, and not only today's earnings but also yesterday's earnings. My sister is walking with a smile on her face and humming.

　Well this is an initial investment. Let's make a lot of money from now on. For weapons, should I rent two smaller swords at school? It doesn't matter even if its in my name.

　Now. The day of the duel between Kariya and Akagi is approaching. Has his level been raised properly? Depending on the result, the atmosphere of the E class will be further depressed, so I would like him to do his best ... What will happen?
