Chapter 113 – 113. Cooperation Is Good!

Kudan is a vanguard tank.
Aika is a avant-garde dealer, and Sihun is a lieutenant.
Also, Anastasia is the backline dealer, and this time I was in charge of the backline support.

“To be able to play as a supporter! Rouvelt-sama is amazing!”

When I suggested the formation, Aika smiled and praised me first.

Not to be outdone by this, Anastasia also said.

“There are really very few hunters who can act as an all-rounder. To be able to do that… As expected, Mr. Rouvelt!”
“Thank you.”

After giving thanks lightly, he cast auxiliary magic on everyone.
Strength increase, speed increase, and durability are the most basic buffs.

“I’ll confirm and explain again. Kudan blocks the enemy’s attack first, Aikawa Sihun attacks, and Anastasia provides cover when there is an opening.”
“”Yes!””
“I get it.”
“Yes.”

I reconfirmed my strategy and proceeded through the dungeon.

-Kooooo!

Soon after proceeding through the dungeon, he encountered a wild orc.

Wild Orcs can be thought of as a superior species of Orcs by just hearing their name, but they are Orcs with a lower level than Orcs.

Speaking of appearance, it is originally a bald orc head with rough Mohican-like hair.

There is even a myth that a wild orc loses his hair when he becomes a true orc in exchange for strength.

For reference, this issue is a topic of discussion on the Internet as a joke.

For reference, the wild orc’s weapon is a club or an ax like normal orcs.

“Kudan!”
“Leave it to me!”

Kaaaaang!

Kudan stepped forward and blocked the Wild Orc’s attack.

“Aika! Sihun!”
“”Haaaaa!””

When the signal was sent, Aikawa Sihun came out from both sides of Kudan and rushed forward, wielding a greatsword and a straight sword respectively.

Chaaaaagh!

-Kooooohok!

A wild orc screaming as it cuts his sides his.
Undaunted, the Wild Orc turned his aim away from Kudan and brandished his club at the two who attacked him.

Booung!

“Where!”

However, Kudan appropriately changed his position and blocked all attacks to the two with his shield.

“Kudan! You don’t have to block everything! Block only dangerous-looking attacks!”
“Okay! Haap!”

Tuong!

Kudan responded, parrying the club with his shield and brandishing his mace at the same time.

Kudan’s mace hit the side of the bleeding Wild Orc directly.

-Kuook!

“Chance! Flame… Slash!”

Roaring!

A greatsword clad in flames was swung toward the wild orc.

The wild orc let out a louder scream as he received huge wounds diagonally from his shoulder to his side.

-Ooh oh oh!

“Okay! Now finish…!”

When Aika, who had the chance to win, was about to finish.

“Ice shot.

Bang!

Anastasia used her skill to fire a bullet containing ice-attribute magic into the wild orc’s abdomen.

Great! The wild orc’s ship froze, focusing on the place where the bullet hit, and the wild orc, who lost his life, collapsed forward.

“Whoa. How was it, Mr. Roobelt? What about my splendid finish?”

Anastasia blew into her muzzle and smiled at me.

That smile had a hint of adultness to it, so it was a smile befitting an idol whose concept was cool and sexy.

“Wait! What are you doing! Aika was going to finish!”

Aika protested at Anastasia, raising her greatsword her.

“If you want to finish it, you should have finished with what you did earlier. What if you get attacked for nothing?”
“Because excuses are lame! The monster just didn’t even have the strength to fight back! It’s cowardly to only aim for the last hit!”
“How cowardly! I, the rearguard, just attacked by looking for an opening!”
“Ah, Aika, Anastasia. First of all, I just want you to safely defeat the monster.”

Sihun broke into a cold sweat and intervened between the two.

“Because that’s not all! For idols, performance is important!”
“I heard that my performance was just cowardly, so back off?”
“Uh, uh…”

Sihun looked at me earnestly when the two of them gave me fierce glances.

Do something, Rouvelt! It was a look that showed the will of Lan very well.

Kudan is wary of another Wild Orc coming.

“Both calm down.”
“”Rouvelt-sama…!””
“Aika, as Sihun said, it’s not a competition to see who has the better performance right now, right? Isn’t it important to defeat the monster smoothly?”
“No, that’s right!”
“And Anastasia, no matter how smoothly you knock it down, it’s not good to finish it like that in the first fight without any signal. It’s dangerous if there’s an accident, right?”
“Ugh, sorry.”
“I don’t have anything to apologize for. But…”

He looked at the two of them with a troubled smile.

“It’s not comfortable to see two people fighting.”
“It’s a fight! Aika and Anastasia didn’t fight at all! That’s right~”
“Right! It was just a little brawl, not a fight!”
“That’s right, that’s right! Aika and Anastasia are so-so good!”

Aika shrugged with Anastasia.
Anastasia’s face hardened for a moment on her shoulder her, but she nodded her head with an awkward smile.

“Yes! We are… Good friends!”

Of course he doesn’t point that out.

“I see. I’m glad it was my misunderstanding. Now that we’re at the same party, let’s continue to get along well.”
“Yeah! I want to get along well with Aika too!”
“Of course, I will get along well with Aika! Of course, even more so with Rouvelt-sama…”
“Aika wants to get along with Rouvelt-sama even more!”
“This is really…”

◈

After pleading time for joint singing practice for Rouvelt.
Anastasia Granoff, Nakazawa and Aika found time to join Aika at karaoke.

“Why is it karaoke?”
“It can’t be helped. Even if you try to go to the nearby studio, everyone knows the faces of Aika and Anastasia.”
“Still, in a karaoke room like this…”
“Ahh ~ Anastasia is not confident without borrowing her studio equipment skills? Aika is confident even at karaoke ~”
“What!? Who says you’re not confident! I can do it too? Besides, I’m confident! Who was it that begged me to help with voice training?”
“Because Aika is different from then! She’s doing well now, even without Asha’s help!”

While arguing, Anastasia sang a song from when they were in the same group as Aika.

Of course, since the two of them weren’t that famous back then, their songs weren’t registered in karaoke, so they had no choice but to prepare their own songs.

As for the music, I played the music file stored on Anastasia’s cell phone.

And speaking of the results of the two people’s practice, it could be said that there were few.

It was because the breathing of the two matched so well that they didn’t have to practice.

”Why don’t you make mistakes?”

The two of them didn’t like the fact that the other person’s skills didn’t deteriorate, even though they said it was natural that they didn’t make mistakes even in old songs because they were good.

“The lyrics aren’t even right.”
“Is Asha really on the right pitch?”

The two of them know that if you sing a few more times in the future, you won’t need any more practice.

However, the pride of the two did not allow them to call each other a few more times and part ways.

He even made a decision to cooperate with an objectionable person in order to buy Rouvelt’s favor, but it was because he thought it was not something to break up in vain.

That’s why the two of them chose a place called karaoke, so it was a match that they could do.

“Hmph. Well, it was a song I sang a lot before, so I guess I was able to sing it well.
“Oh my gosh~ What are you talking about? Aika has the confidence to sing any song better than Asha? Asha is an old song, so she sang it well, isn’t it that the other songs can’t even match the pitch ?”
“Ha! You’re talking funny. Then where should we compete?”
“That’s what I hoped for!”

In the end, the two had a karaoke showdown until late, arguing over who sang better.

Having had such meetings three times, the two had the same thoughts.

”First of all, I can show it to Mr. Robelt.”

As we continued to listen to each other’s songs, we came to the conclusion that we can rest assured about our singing skills.

Of course, the idea that you are the most outstanding has not changed at all.

And now.

In the midst of becoming a party with Roovelt and entering the D-class dungeon, problems arose again between the two, who began to improve slightly.

”How can you work with Aika (Asha)!”

The two people, who were only interested in competing in singing skills at the karaoke room, did not practice any combat connection.

Eventually, when they defeated the first Wild Orc, they quarreled.

Fortunately, Rouvelt intervened, allowing the two to calm down and move forward again.

After that, Aika and Anastasia were able to defeat the Wild Orc by following Louvelt’s instructions and working together.

After a few more battles, they got used to each other’s movements and were able to hunt wild orcs smoothly without any instructions from Rouvelt.

Around the time when everyone was free, Aikawa Anastasia encountered a completely unexpected situation.

It started with a question from Kudan while walking calmly.

“Come to think of it, Rouvelt, I have a question.”
“What is it, Kudan?”
“Are you… Dating multiple women?”
“Right.”
“Rouvelt?!”
“”What!?””
