The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter - Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Weasalopes”

Who was the person that rushed to us?

Of course, it’s my brother .

「Isn’t that Noir? Heeey, Nooir! Oh, my dear brother, you came to me!」

With a happy 「Ah-Ha-Ha-Ha~」 laugh brother runs up to us in a jolly manner . As I feebly raise my hands, brother hugs me with all his might .

「Wha, Stop it, brother!」

「Oh my brother, isn’t it fine . I haven’t forgotten you even for one second . 」

「That’s is disgusting in its own way…」

「Ah Ha Ha!」

I push away my brother who was rubbing his cheek on me affectionately . Then, probably surprised, he stares in wonder .

「You’ve become quite strong . 」

「I do my best every day in my own fashion . So power eventually followed . 」

「I thought so . Actually, I received a letter from mother, in which it was written that you showed remarkable growth . However, Noir, you are not the only one who changed . The same goes for me as well . 」

Putting hands on his hips, brother puffs his chest . I don’t see any change in his appearance . He was tall in the past as well, his hair color is the same brown as mine .

If I really had to point out something, then it would be his outfit that looked strangely knightish . Even though he is a merchant, he wore a mantle and was even armed .

「Do you need a sword at the commercial school?」

「How nice of you to ask! It’s not really necessary, but this outfit stands out more and girls stick better!」

Understandable answer . Well, brother was good with a sword and had enough skill and guts to exterminate weak monsters . He surely was stronger than your average merchant in training .

「However, Noir… Didn’t you bring along a lot of cute friends? Do you have any intentions of introducing me, oh, isn’t that Emma-chan! You’ve got quite large, no, big! I missed you . 」

「That correction changed nothing… Hello, it’s been a long time, I didn’t particularly miss you at all . 」

Emma was thrusting him away pretty hard, but brother didn’t hear any of it . Since everyone else is cute as well he is going frolic .

「And, brother, will you give us at least a tour around the town?」

When I say that, my brother’s attitude changes entirely . His tension has dropped considerably . And he also looked somewhat apologetic .

「Sorry, Noir . I sent the letter with the worst of timings . I immediately sent a follow-up letter, but looks like due to some mistake you didn’t receive it . 」

After you send a letter since it goes to another country plenty of time will pass until it arrives .

In the second letter, it appears he wrote not to come to Hornest .

When he started to talk about the reason, the toll of the bell loudly resounded throughout the town .

*Gon Gon Gon Gon Gon* It wasn’t a trivial matter .

「This is bad, what will come this time… Let’s evacuate for now . 」

As I heard, Hornest was a peaceful town that had nothing to do with wars or internal strife .

「Monsters? Or maybe bandits?」

「Monsters . Recently, they suddenly increased in numbers . I even considered taking refuge in another town . 」

I heard the rumor that once per ten years or so, this town would get attacked by a large number of monsters . If this is that time, then it indeed was the worst timing .

I look in the direction of the bell . A dire situation was revealed . At least twenty or thirty enemies launched a surprise attack from the sky .

They are quite far away for me to see properly, but they must be attacking the people below .

「Noir, let’s take shelter at school for a while . 」

So was he inviting me, but I didn’t feel like doing so . It will be a problem if we were to ignore this and massive damage was done to the city like it happened to Landan .

Luna-san and Layla-san also were brimming with enthusiasm for monster extermination .

「Laura-san, can you take shelter with my brother?」

「No, I will go to check it out as well . I want to see what kind of monster is that . 」

Laura-san is actually good, if she is supported then there shouldn’t be any problem . We decided to head there all together .

「Are they serious? I can’t believe that Noir became strong enough to defeat tough monsters . 」

With a laugh, Emma replies to agitated brother .

「Noir is secretly training at a hidden dungeon . Other than playing with girls he does other things as well, unlike you, Gillan-san . 」

「So he is playing with girls . 」

「I won’t deny it . 」

I cannot deny it . Ops, it wasn’t time for such a conversation . I got my brother to return to the school, and we ran in the direction from which screams were coming .

A few minutes of running while trying not to bump into the panicking people . We finally arrived directly below the enemies .

It was a park, but there is still a lot of mothers with children that were left behind .

An enemy was an opponent that should be called a birdman . They had a human-like face, but their skin was purple and hands were wings . Their legs had three toes, with which they caught people, soared with them into the sky and then dropped them to deal damage .

Some became unable to move from that .

「Harpies . Half-human and half-bird, they are clever . Sometimes requests for them come to our guild, but they are of a different kind . Those are purple harpies . 」

I appraise one of them and confirm that Laura-san’s information was precise .

Name: Purple Harpy
Level: 35




Skills: Strong Grip

They weren’t a big deal in terms of power, however, since flying enemies can soar through the skies it was annoying .

And their number was a bit high . At such moments, a person like Luna-san can truly shine .

With the pull of the trigger of her magic gun, the hole opens in the skull of the harpy that was attacking a person . The person that was about to be killed gives his thanks .

「Don’t worry about it . Because my gun is to protect people . Let’s go!」

As always, she is so cool . As I recall, Luna-san was helping people as she carried the will of her mother .

As I was relatively good at ranged attacks, I join as her support . The other three guide to safety people that were late to run away .

Well, there are about fifty purple harpies . By default, they stay in an elevated position and hardly come down .

I shoot【Stone Bullet】 . It has plenty of speed, but it was avoided because of the distance . The same with【Ice Needle】and so on . 【Purple Lightning】doesn’t reach because it has an effective distance of only three meters .

I tried throwing, but it also doesn’t work since it gets noticed . Hmm, am I useless…?

Completely different from Luna-san next to me, who kept attacking with her magic gun .

Even though we both use projectile attacks, the speed is different . Her bullets hit the enemy properly .

So I decided to acquire new skills .

I would like to attack them with a bang from where they won’t expect it . How about this?

【Thunderbolt】 400 LP

Dropping lightning sounds powerful and should be hard for them to avoid . Create without hesitation . Since people already evacuated from the park I decide to use this .

Thunderous roar! And lightning bolt!

It is very powerful… I missed though .

You have to be kidding? With【Edit】I investigate what might that mean .

＜Drops lightning bolt by expending magic power . However, it does not always hit the place aimed at . Furthermore, it can not be used in places where the sky is not visible such as indoors . It can not be used from too far away . ＞

It isn’t bad . But I understood the reason why it didn’t go well . By this explanation, it will only hit once in a few times . If in the worst case, it’s once in ten times, then it will leave me full of openings and will soon deplete my magic power as well .

Therefore, if I change『Does not always hit the place aimed at』to『Does always hit the place aimed at』 …It required 500 additional LP .

Even more expensive than the skill itself?! But I do have enough LP and it should help to clear up the enemies .

I resolve myself to enhance it, and then immediately activate .

「Giieuh?!」

A high-pitched shriek resounded, and a purple harpy falls headfirst to solid ground . The skill worked perfectly . With my and Luna-san’s skills combined we unexpectedly easily defeated the enemy .

With the sword, I go around finishing off the enemies lying on the ground . Since about half of them were still breathing, I learned that I should not let my guard down .

「Umu, looks like that’s all of them . 」

「Magic guns are strong after all . The aim is also precise . 」

「Noir-dono was great as well . When did you learn the thunderbolt?」

「I learned it during the battle . Thanks to that my LP has decreased a lot . 」

「You can evolve even in the midst of the battle . You also have a quick wit, Noir-dono, you have the potential to become the strongest one day . 」

「You are praising me too much . Though it makes me happy . But it’s strange …」

「I think so as well . 」

None of the guards have arrived . Such disturbance should have reached their ears . Although we wrapped things up relatively quickly, it wouldn’t be strange if at least one or two of them arrived .

Does it mean that there are other monsters around and they are too preoccupied to come here? We decide to chase after Emma and others .
