Chapter 077
ps: accepting better names for the chapter’s title
Yu at first was reluctant to take this quest . Right now he was regretting not listening to himself .
“Yu, look over there, a twin tailed fox monster . ”
“Yu, who tought you swordsmanship? Was it an A rank adventurer?”
“Yu, do you know someone called Ranfa? Apparently he defeated an A rank monster using a single sword?”
(So noisy) – Yu
All the way Joseph, who usually did the talking wasn’t given a chance to do so, due to his place being taken by Moran . She was endlessly talking about everything conected with swords and swormanship while Yu was desperately tring to ignore her . After losing the spar, Moran was depressed for a while but upon entering the 「Forest of Marma」 regained her usual composure and started to talk endlessly to Yu .
Siamese who witnessed the spar was also glancing at him from afar from time to time, only whithout saying anything .
“Nina-chan, aren’t you worried? Yu is getting popular . ” Lalit said this trying to tease Nina .
“It is good that everyone is getting along~” (Nina)
“…That girl doesn’t have any bad intentions . ” (Lena)
“It seems she finally understands Yu-sama’s greatness . ” (Marifa)
The girls didn’t think that Moran had ulterior motives .
Meanwhile, the others were busy conversing .
“What is Moran doing? I told her not to cause any trouble, but she is getting herself involved with that boy . ” (Ann)
“Isn’t that good? I think she is trying to be friendly . ” (Memetto)
“Siamese-san, what do we do?” (Siam’s lackey)
“What do you mean?” (Siam)
“That boy has good swordsmanship . It won’t be difficult for him to become a C rank . ”
“So what?”
“Should we put some poison in his food to get rid of him? We could deal with him quickly . ”
“I am a noble and I won’t do such lowly things . Certainly, my skills may be lower than his but I won’t resort to something like that . ”
“Certainly, Siamese-san is a noble, doing such a thing is unthinkable . ”
“Siamese-san, there seemes to be a problem . ” It was the other lackey of Siam that noticed that .
“Is something wrong?”
“The people in the front seem to be increasing their speed to match Joseph-san . ”
For sure, that was true . Joseph’s walking speed was indeed rising but the cause was that Yu’s walking speed was the one that was getting faster .
“Annoying . ”
Yu said that and started running zigzag in the forest . Despite it being full of trees and obstacle, his speed was increasing even further as if he was running on flat ground .
“Do you have a stomach ache?”
Joseph quickly cought up to him and asked while grinning . He noticed that maybe Yu was running away from Moran but he really didn’t need to quicken up his pace so suddenly . Nina and Lalit noticed that and chased after Yu and Joseph with Moran . Marifa followed behind with Suke and Coro .
“…Kuro-chan, you’re not going to go after them?”
Since Lena’s physical ability was lower than them, she gave up on chasing them and walked normally .
“Yu-sama instructed me to stick with Lena-san . ”
Memetto and Ann were surprised that Kuro could speak .
After Yu ran for about 10 minutes he saw three shadows, around 200 meters ahead, running towards them .
“What? A child and her mother?”
Two of the shadows belonged to them while the other one was the form of a monster .
“They are being chased by a 「Steel Spider」!”
“Darn it!”
Joseph and Lalit could grasp the gravity of the situation . No matter what they did, even with their speed, the most they could cover was only a third of the distance . The running child tripped forward and the contents of the basket that she carried fell out .
“The herbs!”
While she tried to collect the herbs on the ground, the [Steel Spider] approached from behind . It was 2m long monster, as if it came from a horror movie . The mother immediately came and protected her daughter .
“Darn it! There’s not enough time . ”
Lalit and Joseph were heading towards the 「Steel Spider」but it was already moving its front leg toward the mother and daughter pair . They could only imagine the next scene in their mind .
Suddenly, *swish* a flying object moving at high speed flew past Joseph and Lalit . It hit the 「Steel Spider」and drilled a hole right in the middle of its head . The hole pierced trough the head of the 「Steel Spider」and continued to its stomach . After a few moments being frozen in place its body convulsed a few times . Joseph looked back and asked .
“Yu, was that you?”
“As I thought, 《Stone Bullet》 is a convenient spell . ”
The object that flew past Lalit and Joseph was the 《Stone Bullet》that Yu cast .
“That was pretty impressive . Not only can you use that spell so accurately from this distance, you can also find them in your 【Awareness】range . ” (Joseph)
“Whoa! As expected from someone who defeated me . 「Steel Spider」is a rank 4 monster but you can defeat it with only 《Stone Bullet》 . ” Moran had caught up with them and started complimenting excitedly .
Yu headed towards the mother and daughter pair and started to treat their wounds .
“Thank you! Thank you!” the mother bowed down and gace her thanks many times . She hugged her child tightly in her arms .
“Brother, thank you . ”
“Yo, finally someone called you brother . ” Joseph couldn’t read the air and said that teasingly .
