Chapter 141
Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 141
Defense Specialization and the Fifth Event
On the first week of December, a field exploration event was held as the 5th event . In accordance with the event, snow fell quietly from the sky and the field was covered in a white layer .
“It’s supposed to be like this until the end of December . ”
Sally said to Maple as they looked out of the window of the guild home .
“It’s so nice and pretty…and at least it’s not hard to walk in . ”
“Yeah . Well, I’m going to go kill some random event monsters . ”
“Understood . ”
Sally pulled herself away from the window and left the guild home .
Now that Sally was gone, Maple also moved away .
“If there are any monsters that offer a lot of points in this event, I might try fighting them . ”
There were four types of monsters to kill in this event .
These four monsters had varying spawn rates and points gained for killing them . The rarest monster gave the most points and there was also a small chance that they would drop rare items . Management had notified everyone of this .
“I’ll just kill the ones I happen to meet . The weak monsters are too fast and I can’t chase after them…”
Maple grumbled to herself as she left the guild home .
She would only kill the ones she found along the way as she finished quests to raise her permit level .
Maple opened the door and went out into the town where snow was falling .
The atmosphere had changed so much with just snow, which made walking quite enjoyable .
Maple was currently on the gathering quest, ‘Dregs of the Soul,’ and so she went straight to the western side of the field .
“I’m here!”
Maple had arrived in an area with scattered abandoned houses . She pulled out her short sword and weapons grew out of her body as she walked . As she did so, she would encounter blue fireballs that floated in the air . And they would drop the items that Maple was collecting .
“Thanks!”
The fireballs didn’t have much in terms of fighting ability to begin with, and the merciless bullets hit their target one after another, and the battle was over .
“Phew…yes! I’m off to a great start today . ”
Not only were these fireballs not the easiest to find, but they also became invisible, similar to the monsters that she had fought with Yui and Mai .
Maple picked up the dropped item as she thought about her good luck . Then she moved to search for her next prey .
“Hehe…this is going well!”
Maple had been hunting the fireballs for 30 minutes now, and she only needed 1 more in order to finish the ‘Dregs of the Soul’ quest .
The fireballs were appearing much more often than they had before, and Maple was in a good mood .

“Yes! Just one more!”
Maple said excitedly, but the thing about probability is that it converges .
And for a whole hour and a half, Maple did not see a single fireball .
She had been raised up and then been thrown down .
And this was enough to make Maple want to give up her hunting for now and do something to lighten her mood . And so Maple decided to forget about the monsters and enjoy the winter scenery . She leaned back against the trunk of a tree and slumped down .
“Hahh…I’m tired . Mmm…the last gate is still so far . ”
Maple was reminded of just how crazy Kasumi’s speed was .
“But the even monsters are everywhere…”
Maple pointed her right hand at the white monkey in the distance and fired off a round of bullets .
“Got it! Yes…ha…”
Killing one here was not going to affect the rankings in any way .
It was practically pointless .
“Alright, alright! I’m going to kill the last one and stop for the day . ”
Maple stood up with a renewed resolve and returned to her hunting .
She squinted and cautiously looked around her as she moved . She had no intention of letting any get away .
“There!”
Maple did not miss the fireball that appeared in the corner of her vision . She pointed her weapons towards it and unloaded enough bullets to overkill it several times over .
“Phew…it’s finally done . ”
Maple gathered the dropped item and then inspected her inventory to make sure that she had enough ‘Dregs of the Soul . ’
“Yes! Hah…this took more time than I thought . And I thought that my luck was good today…”
Overall, it had gone well early on . After that, it had been much worse than usual .
Maple stretched her limbs and then started to leave the area so she could make a report .
However, probability always converges .
“Hm?”
Translations by AsianHobbyist WebsiteMaple heard something heavy come down behind her, and she turned around .
And there she saw a 4-meter tall snowman .
Its mouth and eyes were made of rocks, and its nose was a carrot .
Its tree branch arms carried a bag, and there was a red hat on top of its head .
“OOH!?”
What Maple had encountered was the monster that offered the most points during this event .
