Chapter 158
Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 158
Defense Specialization and Pain
Maple and Pain continued to explore the dense jungle .
“Maple…”
“Did you say something?”
“No… Nothing . ”
Pain looked up at the sky .
The deep green leaves were covering it, but those leaves moved even when Pain was still .
This was because Pain was riding on top of monster Maple’s back .
Maple was moving through the trees, but looked like she was having a hard time .
“Maple, to the left . There was nothing on the right . ”
“Understood . ”
Maple walked in a way that made it look like she would attack at any moment .
Sometimes she would climb a tree trunk and move from tree to tree .
Pain was able to hang onto Maple without much trouble, and so Maple’s somewhat strange movements were not an issue .
And so their exploration continued smoothly .
“It’s a monster! I will kill it!”
As Maple said, a monster was coming right at them .
The thing that approached them was a tree-like monster called a treant .
Pain had seen these monsters before .
They were the ones that had been able to deal him the little damage that he had taken .
“Maple, they will attack with moves that pierce you at the feet…”
“What? You said what?”
Before Pain could finish talking, the area in front of Maple had turned into a sea of fire .
As this was a game, the trees did not burn, but it was nothing so mild that the tree-like monsters could survive .
The treants turned into charcoal and the items dropped on the ground .
“Uh…nevermind . We should pick up the items . ”
“Ah, right . ”
Maple’s monster hand picked up the items, and they disappeared .
Pain squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky . The trees were still in the way, and he could not see it .
They were attacked several times after that, but Maple trampled and blew them all away .
As he was able to leave all of the fighting to Maple, Pain put his power to a different use .
“Maple, stop . I can hear something . ”
Pain had attention to spare for their surroundings, and so he noticed it easily .
The thing that he could faintly hear was the buzzing of wings .
“Should we go?”

“Yeah . ”
As being discreet made no sense for Maple, they moved in the vague direction of the wings . And what they found, was a giant beehive in the top of a tree . There was something that looked like a black belt flying around it .
The sounds of wings were coming from that belt, and the two were able to guess what it was that twisted in the sky .
“I see . Well, what should we do?”
“I can lure them over and protect you?”
“It’s not so easy…well, maybe it is…”
Pain thought for a second, then decided not to think .
Maple considered that there was an HP limitation and that her partner was Pain, and decided that she would not use ‘Dedicated Affection . ’
“Alright, I’m going!”
Maple jumped out into the clearing that was right under the beehive . When she was about 4 meters away from the hive, a giant bee appeared in front of her .
It had a beautiful crown on its head .
It had the aura of a real queen bee .
“It looks stronger than the bee I fought a long time ago?”
As Maple wondered about this, the queen bee let out a noise .
The black belt, which was a horde of bees, started to shoot down at Maple like a giant arrow .
The bees were flying at an incredible speed as they crashed into Maple . Of course, all of them bounced off .
“‘Provoke’! Come at me!”
The queen bee gave order after order . The bees would attack one point, then surround her, then attack her from the side . But all of the attacks bounced off of Maple, and the dizzy bees could only wait for their next order .
“… ‘Holy Rain . ’’”
Pain pulled out his sword and mumbled . Then his sword started to glow white .
Pain swung this sword, and the light shot off as if the covering was being flung forward .
It stopped at five meters, in other words, above the clearing where Maple was, and then burst into a rain of light .
It hit the bees that were distracted by Maple and blew them away .
Pain had just turned into a machine that used area attacks on the bees that were attacking Maple .
“What am I…even doing now…”
Pain mumbled as he saw Maple’s monster body repel the bee stings .
This was not a sight you would see every day .
And after 20 minutes, nearly all of the bees were dead, and Pain went out into the clearing where Maple was .
“You’re unharmed…of course, you are . ”
“Pain, the queen bee is coming down!”
Translations by AsianHobbyist Website Pain and Maple looked up .
As Maple said, the queen bee was slowly descending .
“I’ll cut it down in one hit . ”
Pain pushed everything to the back of his mind and held his sword ready .
“Alright, here we go!”
Maple moved her arms and legs and directed her head upwards .
The queen bee was very brave to descend into this land of death, or perhaps she was just very stupid .
