Chapter 103.2
Chapter 103.2. Sea Dungeon!
The [Cat’s Kitten] merchant association is affixed to one point.
It’s the first magical armor purchased by D-rank adventurers, and for nobles, it is their entry-level equipment.
It consists of a tightly attached green leotard, a simple breastplate and shoulder pads made of magic bronze, and a basket and leg armor.
I brought these from home as I had become an apprentice adventurer. Each of us brought one to everyone’s home. Yamiyo and Tamamo also came to wear this magic armor, saying that it was good for them to be matching.
Yamiyo equips a sword called Yaten, Tamamo with a bronze spear, Hoku-chan with a bronze axe, Sei-chan with no hands, Nan-chan with a bronze staff, and Miu with a bronze mace.
It’s all very beginner-like and exciting.
We all get into the mood and look around, but the only suspicious thing we see is a palm tree. Or rather, we can only see those things.
Mashiro, the guardian, is just smiling and looking on, and the guard, Kongo-oneesan, and the Martini guys are also just looking on without saying anything in particular.
They have changed their responses now that they are in their former clothes.
“No, I can see Tamamo Ai~. I can see it~.”
[Fox Fire]
Wiggling her fox ears, Tamamo, who has finished assimilating with Kon-chan, stretches out her index finger and lights a small flame.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe sends the flame out and hits one of the palms. As the palm flared, it shook and swayed, and when the roots lifted, a two-meter crab emerged.
It seemed to have been mimicking the sandy beach as a palm. With a shell the same color as the beach, it moved its scissors in a threatening manner. If it caught me, it could easily amputate my arm.
This crab grows palm trees about 5 meters high from its shell. It’s a coconut crab.
The cawing and huffing will help me analyze the situation.
[Coconut crab: level 12, weakness, blow, earth]
It’s not a good opponent. It’s a small fish.
“As expected of you, Tamamo-chan!”
I praise her with a clap. Real palms are growing too, so I can’t tell which ones are real.
“Yeah, it’s like a coconut crab with only one coconut.”
While looking at her phone, Hoku-chan says something that’s not airtight, but I’ll compliment her. Tamamo Ai was indeed looking at her smartphone earlier, though.
“It’s coming!”
The coconut crab, despite its heavy coconut growth, runs at a speed that doesn’t make you feel its weight, moving its many legs in a crisscrossing motion. It seems to be a crab that moves forward. It doesn’t walk sideways. I wonder if it is not a crab.
There is no sense of urgency, but its level is still high. It’s a monster that can’t be defeated by ordinary people. Everyone quickly regained their composure and changed to serious faces. Hoku and the others seem especially nervous.
“Well, it’s from me!”
Nan-chan, who is holding a staff in her hand, uses magic.
[Mud Clumps]
A palm-sized mud dumpling is released from her wand’s tip and heads toward the coconut crab at high speed. If it hits the shell of the coconut crab, the shell cracks. The mud dumplings look like mud dumplings. But it seems to have vicious power. That shell is reinforced with mana, so it should be as strong as an armored car.
However, the coconut crab doesn’t care if its shell is cracked or not. It still rushes forward. Hmmm?
[Raigeki]
Sei-chan, who has no weapons, points her palm at the unstoppable coconut crab and discharges lightning magic. Lightning gushes out and penetrates through the shell of the coconut crab.
Still not stopping, the coconut crab closes on Tamamo and points its scissors at her. The fox-kin calmly swings her spear at the approaching scissors, knocking them to the ground with a clang. Undaunted, she swings the other scissors as if to slam them down.
“Yotto, kyaa.”
With an attitude of composure, Tamamo tries to backstep down, but she’s caught in the sandy beach and takes the slap when she drops to her knees with a crack. A magical barrier arises, protecting Tamamo’s body from the impact.
“You’re caught off guard, Tamamo.”
Kicking sand, Yamiyo enters the palm crab’s bosom and swings his jet-black sword, smashing through the coconut growing on the palm crab’s back with a horizontal slash. A sparkling line of darkness remained in the air, and he sheathed it with a snap.
“Bon appétit!”
Smiling nihihihi, Hoku continued, swinging her axe down on the shell. With a thud, the coconut crab is pressed against the torso, and it wriggles its legs to escape.
It’s quite stubborn that it hasn’t fallen over yet. It must mean that it’s a monster of physical stupidity. It could withstand a few more blows with plenty of time to spare.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Teii!”
Of course, I’m going to follow up. With a single blow of my mace, I hit the shell of the coconut crab that was pushed onto the beach. Using my petite body to its fullest, I raise my mace high in the air.
Then, I swing it down with all my might. With a boom, the mace hits the coconut crab.
Boom!
With a resounding bang, the coconut crab explodes from the inside and falls apart. Huh?
“Oh! Powerful~!”
“As expected of Mii-sama.”
“Thank you, you did it!”
Level 50, so it’s just one hit.
“I got coconuts!”
Nan-chan was about to crack open a coconut when I looked at the dead coconut crab I had defeated.
I thought its weak points were blows and earth, right? Why didn’t it get scared by Nan-chan’s attack?
Maybe the weakness effect only applies to Miu and God’s party?
I’ve just found out about the new specification.
“Well, okay. It might be more advantageous.”
Miu rushed over to the others, asking them to let her have a taste too.
