CH 7

Bellows sword –> whip sword. Sam thing but whip sword is easier to understand.

–At the 16th level,

“Kanda we’re fine here, go strengthen the defence of the fifth row!”

“Yes!”

They were fighting just down the stairs.

When we went down a crude stair that seemed to be only compressed by a hammer, we went straight on a road for about five minutes and found a monster’s den. Also known as a Monster House.

Nesting there was a giant rat-shaped monster with a dark green coat of fur, and its eyes were green.

“These are 3rd-grade monsters right!? Why are they in such a big group!?”

One of the chariot members, Moiwa Takashi shouted while handling the rush attack of a mouse-shaped monster with his large shield.

The grade of a monster can be identified by the color of the monster’s eyes.

The explorers here immediately decided that the eyes of the thirty-plus rat-shaped monsters nesting here were shining green, so they had the regular chariot members on the front line.

Many of the participants from outside the guild were only fourth-class explorers, and it was a foolish idea to fight monsters with a higher grade than them. That’s why the chariots, all of whom are third-class explorers or higher, stood at the front.

“Moiwa! It’s going to be okay if you calm down and deal with it! Aso and Kusugi too!”

“Yes! [Counter push]!”

“Over here too! [Counter push]!”

“Leave it to me! [Counter push]!”

Godo used the skill [command transmission] of his calling [Commander] to give instructions to his friends one after another without speaking out.

On rare occasions, he would use his voice to encourage people and let others know that he was still here. Godo is thinking about all of this in an instant and executing it

“Masaki-san!”

At that time, the archer Oyama Yuuki raised his voice.

Oyama’s Calling is [Magical Archer], a third-grade Calling, and is excellent at long-range attacks. What he saw with his skill [Clairvoyance] was a monster with yellow eyes that was one size larger than the mouse-shaped monster in front of them.

“I can see it because I’m in sync! Reduce the number of mice around it for the time being!”

“””Yes!”””

Godo’s calling [Commander] had the skill [Five Senses sharing] to share the sight and hearing of his friends. By using it all the time, he can instantly take in the information obtained by his friends.

Then Godo continued to take command, and about 20 minutes passed.

The number of monsters that were close to thirty was reduced to five, but the yellow-coloured monster did not move.

All the members of the chariot were breathing heavily, some of them had cuts and bite wounds.

On the front line, three people, Moiwa, Aso, and Kusugi, who acted as shields, were still preventing the incoming attacks.

Ushiro who was next to Godo, observed how to defeat that yellow mouse. He carried a whip sword and approached Godo.

“Masaki-san, what are you going to do about that?”

“Ah, that’s right … Sure, second-grade monsters are annoying, but they’re not opponents who we can’t win against. Miss Asagiri! Can you use your ability?”

Godo called Manaka Asagiri, who was carrying luggage and protected behind him.

Asagiri was astonished about the battle from beginning to end so when she was called, her voice was a tinny bit restless

“Yes!”

Her cheeks were slightly dyed red, but thinking that it wasn’t the time for that now, Asagiri dropped her luggage on the spot and turned her eyes towards Tenji.

“Yeah, I’ll hold on to this”

“Thank you!”

Asagiri replied with a smile, and immediately joined the chariot who was fighting on the front line.

“Miss, are you confident in your abilities?”

“… I’m proud of it.”

“That’s not enough. Inherent abilities increase their power and effectiveness depending on how much you trust your abilities. Believe in your abilities more.”

“… what should I do?”

“The one who can produce the maximum firepower among the people here is probably Ushiro. However, his third-grade calling [Water genius Swordsman], probably wouldn’t be able to finish off the second-grade monster. That’s where miss comes in! With the power of the new second-generation Inherent ability, it might be possible to buff Ushiro on top of my buff. How about it? Can you do it? “

“Believe in my abilities?”

“Oh, yes. Believe in yourself, believe in your abilities. Trust your abilities, believe in me and increase your power. You can do it.”

“… Yes, I’ll try it!”

“Good reply. Ushiro, do you understand?”

“Of course, I will adjust my timing with Asagiri-san. This is the highlight of my power as a professional explorer.”

Asagiri got goosebumps from the expectations of such amazing explorers, but she closed her eyes and repeats the words in her heart to meet those expectations.

(Believe in me. Believe in my ability, Godo-san, Ushiro-san has expectations for my ability. I can do it! I can do it!)

“I’m doing it!”

“Yeah, Miss!”

At the same time as she opened her eyelids, Asagiri’s Inherent ability [Weapon Enhancement] was activated. At that moment, the light blue whip sword engraved with the snake pattern held by the Ushiro shone blue.

“Nice, Missy! Make it even more powerful!”

“Yes!”

With the inspiration of Godo, Asagiri’s ability became even more powerful.

Seeing his whip sword shining even bluer, Ushiro raised the corners of his mouth. He had an intuition that his sword could go up to a higher level.

But that wasn’t the only thing.

“Hey, hey, Miss is amazing!”

Ujo was so happy that he raised his voice.

Yes, not only the weapon of the Ushiro was buffed, but also his yellow inner suit that shined.

The inner suit that Ushiro is wearing is a fairly expensive second-grade yellow inner suit, and from second grade and above, the effect of assisting one’s movement is added.

Ushiro also felt that the movement assist effect was increasing further.

and–.

“Moiwa! Aso! Kusugi!”

“””Yes!”””

With the shouts of Godo, the three shields controlled the monsters other than the yellow mouse.

They ran away as it is, leaving the yellow mouse on the spot.

“Ushiro!”

“I understand!”

Ushiro had already started to move before the instructions of Godo.

With a faster movement speed than usual, he approached the monster in a short amount of time and swung his light blue whip sword.

“Chuuu!”

The monster noticed the attack at the last minute and tried to use his proud teeth to block the sword.

However, Ushiro was using a move that he was good at.

“I got you mouse king! [Two water sowrds]

The moment Ujo shouted, one sword split into two.

He hit one blade against the monster’s teeth and slid the other blade around its neck.

“Chuuuu!?”

The whip sword of Ushiro entered the body of the second-grade monster surprisingly smoothly and struck his neck as it was.

When Ujo confirms that the monster has fallen, he immediately moves on to the next.

Of the four rat-shaped monsters that took the target earlier, two had already fallen victim to the arrows of Oyama, and the other two were still resisting.

“One… and two!”

His condition was surprisingly good, and Ushiro left it to the momentum to easily defeat the two.

He knew that this was because of the student, but he wanted to fight the next battle as soon as possible so that he could remember this speed and strength in his body.

As a result, he didn’t know that he was getting carried away.

“Hey, Ushiro! You’re rushing things!”

As soon as he defeated the last one, he got lectured by Godo.

You can make as many excuses as you like, but Ujo decided to accept it without refuting, given this situation.

As expected, it was an action that was worthy of a chariot explorer.

“Sorry, I’m sorry! It’s just that body…”

“Oh well, don’t forget that feeling just now, Ushiro. You still have the potential to be a second-grade explorer.”

“Yes!”

Although Godo got angry at Ushiro, they succeeded in annihilating the dens of the 3rd and 2nd-grade monsters.

However, Godo could not have missed the sense of discomfort he had

“But……”

“What happened? Masaki-san”

“Oh, perhaps we have entered a back dungeon.”
