Chapter 138
Year 7444, Month 8, Day 24
After we arrived at the teleport room of the 5th floor we immediately started making preparations to camp. I used earth magic to make our beds and after we finished dinner preparations, showering and changing, we all licked our lips at the food Giberuti finished making.
"Today was disappointing right. I wonder what came out of the shrine on that altar?"
Ralpha is saying petty things as usual. Isn't it already fine on the 5th floor? We're exploring the 6th floor starting tomorrow after all.
"I'd like to think it wasn't anything special."
Bel responded. That's right. It's fine if we just think that.
"But, the people of Black Topaz..They struggled quite a bit."
Gwine changed the topic. Certainly they did~ The spear user in their party was only a bit better than Gwine in their movements. Even the guy who was using a kite shield and long sword on the front, putting aside his shield, his sword wasn't even up to Toris's level. If it's just that then even if I don't use magic I should be able to take on two of them with just a single long sword. If it's fine to use my bayonet then I should be able not just deal with three of them but I might even win.
"That's right. That Laios man who was using the battle axe, while it was quite showy along the way, he's the type who can't do anything but use brute force after all. If you look at their overall abilities I think Zulu is much better."
Zenom bites into the roast chicken seasoned with sauce using salt as the base. Hey old man, that's your second one. There's only two of these per person you know.
"That's true..it looked that way to me as well. After that, that woman who is the leader, what was her name again? Ah, Anderson-san. It seemed like her skill with the bow wasn't that great either."
Toris responded to Zenom. Hey now, didn't Anderson do plenty well. Even you're using Bel as the standard like Zenom just now. I'm telling you Bel is just abnormal~ Ha~
"No, Anderon's skill with the bow wasn't that bad right. As proof of that she managed to properly land both of her shots right? If you think about the cahnce of it missing while trying to aim for vital points then it was doing plenty. Even that Laios, his decision after using Instant Speed wasn't the greatest but there's no need to be that harsh..Zenom and Toris aren't your viewpoints too severe?"
I said that while amazed. Ah, this leg meat is delicious! It's not just salt. It has an even deeper flavor to it. Giberuti..you were a good purchase.
"Hn?"
"Huh?"
Zenom and Toris are exchanging glances. Huh? Did I say something strange? Zenom and Toris are making slightly difficult faces. Ah, so that was it was about.
"Nn~ so it was about that. It seems like I made you two strain yourselves a bit. Thanks. But, it's fine even if you don't worry about it too much for now. And, I don't think I want to make adventurers into my subordinates. Even if I had them they'd only be useful for something like forced reconnaissance or so. And it's not too late to start thinking about stuff like that when it's required. Of course~ if there's a good talent then I would want to scout them out. But, that's still a story for quite a while in the future."
I said that and bit into the leg meat again. It's seriously delicious, this.
