Chapter 245
Chapter 245 - Let's Pincer Attack
「Well now, which way to the doggie?」
While saying that, Yumika was driving Hippo-kun Clear . Hippo-kun High with its chalky skin was also pretty, but this transparent Hippo-kun Clear was the most popular with the girl group .
And when the accompanying adventurers got used to the novelness of the Hippo-kuns, they became interested in Hippo-kun Clear, which seemed to be a superior version of what they were riding . They were captivated by the radiance of the object shaped like a mixture of a dragon and a horse that could be called a work of art .
In the first place, Hippo-kun Clear was made with the Crystal Dragon material Dragon Crystal Stone and used a Dragon Heart for its motive power . The materials alone were expensive, and they were used in such an extravagant way, so the surrounding people's eyes being drawn to it was natural . Though it was usually overshadowed by Hippomaru-kun .
「Yo, sis . That horse is incredible . Was that also made by that Kazane?」
Then an adventurer approached Yumika from behind and questioned her about Clear . The Hippo-kuns they were riding were the same, but the fact that it could run so comfortably even inside the forest made it no wonder that he wanted one by all means .
「That's right, but since it's a Golem, that . . . what was that country's name . . . Toure? They would also be able to make one, right?」
After Yumika easily answered, the adventurer following behind said「I see」and nodded .
「A Golem? Certainly, these were made with earth some time ago . 」
When they heard that, the surrounding adventurers started saying the words Golem and Toure . Apparently, they were thinking one could be obtained in the Kingdom of Toure . By the way, Yumika wasn't very familiar with the Golem situation, so she had a similar perception, and she wasn't particularly trying to deceive them .
「Oi, found something . 」
As Yumika and the others talked, the beastman adventurer riding ahead called out .
「Mu」
Yumika turned in the direction of the beastman's voice and certainly saw that something was considerably ahead .
(Ah, as expected, a beastman's nose is really effective, isn't it)
Although they weren't as effective as Kazane's『Dog's Sense of Smell』Skill, which could currently sniff out even ghosts, every party wanted a beastkin . From traveling with Kazane, Yumika was well aware that having a beastkin's sense of smell was very useful, both for hunting prey and for avoiding monsters . Although in this time's hunt, that sense of smell hadn't been a decisive factor so far .
「Chasing that would be bad, right?」
Yumika squinted and looked at the something the beastman discovered . It didn't seem to be moving .
「Based on our experience so far, the likelihood of an ambush is high . . . rather, it's almost certain . That's a Snake Wolf . 」
The elf adventurer riding the same Hippo-kun as the beastman replied . Yumika had heard the two were in a rank B party . The beastmen was named Mokko and the elf was named Mark .
「Snake Wolf?」
「It's a lizard wolf that lives in this area and silently hunts prey . 」
Emily was riding Clear behind Yumika and answered her question . A lizard wolf was a lizard with an ecology resembling a wolf . Snake Wolves were a monster of that type that were also called Silent Killers . They were primarily feared by adventurers encamping at night .
「They are highly stealthy monsters . They aren't the type to readily show their figures, and if they feel like it, they can even hide from beastkin noses . 」
The elf Mark nodded after Emily's words .
「It's extremely suspicious that it's showing its figure . Moreover, at that distance, it will definitely be able to run away if we pursue it . 」
The surrounding adventurers agreed with Mark .
This team with Yumika and Emily had 10 Hippo-kuns, but there many people who were better suited to riding as a group of two instead of three, so the total number of people with Yumika and Emily included was 27 .
「Purposely taking its invitation is also an option, though . 」
The problem was how many this number of people would be able to beat . Yumika alone had no problem . She had her God Wolf Transformation and Dragonoidization . However, the only members capable of matching Yumika without any transformations were probably the beastman Mokko and the rearguard bow user Rondo . Emily's face turned pale after Yumika's mutter .
「Wai, wait a second, you're not serious, are you?」
If we charge together, I will surely die . Emily was convinced of that and screamed .
「NnーI'll try consulting with Kazane」
Yumika thought that even if it were impossible with them alone, if they coordinated with the others they should be able to do it, so she started typing in her constantly open Chat Window .
Yumika:「This is Yumika . 」
Kazane:「'Allo 'allo . This is Kazane . 」
Yumika:「We found something called a Snake Wolf right now . It seems to be luring us, though . 」
Kazane:「Umm, which way does it go when it runs away?」
Yumika moved forward little by little and watched the direction the Snake Wolf moved in response .
Yumika:「Northeast from here?」
Kazane:「Roger . Then we'll have you do a pincer attack Naoki . At this distance, it will take about 10 minutes?」
Naoki:「Is that everything?」
Kazane:「So then, advance without overpursuing . Is Naoki also OK?」
Yumika:「Understood . 」
Naoki:「Okay, Aneki . 」
The chat ended there . Yumika then told the adventurers what she had decided with Kazane . The adventurers couldn't see the Window, so they had no idea if Yumika had actually conversed with Kazane, but they had confirmed that they would they actually be able to coordinate before coming here . As might be expected, they didn't think she would tell such a stupid lie when their lives were on the line . Everybody understood that they had no choice but to trust her .
And even now, Emily behind Yumika didn't really understand what the thing Yumika and the others called the Window was . Only Kazane, Yumika, and Naoki could use it . It seemed that Tatsuo could also see it when he was touching Kazane, but there were times when Emily felt like the three were getting their stories straight to lie in a way that was completely invisible to her .
Though Emily also knew that Naoki used that Window on a routine basis . Naoki was the only one who could see and use it, but they were greatly helped by the Item Box and Map when they were a party of three .
