Chapter 86 – Part 2 Nobles – Party Play? (2)

I came to the dungeon with Minerva, Ray, and Jin. Now, the basic quota of 1 party has been filled with 4 people.

The name of the dungeon we came to… I forgot the name, but it’s a dungeon with lizards that have been there before.
Why did you come to a low-level dungeon again? Because this is the only dungeon where you can go to the level of Ray and Jin.

Restrictions by level are pretty inconvenient. Adventurers with a difference of more than 10 levels cannot form a party, and dungeon entry restrictions are based on the lowest level member in the party. In other words, according to the level of Ray and Jin, who are level 7, Minerva and I can only enter dungeons of that level.

For me, it doesn’t matter much if I come to a dungeon with low difficulty. Anyway, in a day or two, the level will rise and you will be able to go to the next dungeon.

The problem was that the two people behind me couldn’t keep up with me.

“Brother~~ go with me~~…”

Jin’s voice is heard from afar. She glanced back, but the figure was still out of sight.
I first put an arrow through the head of the two lizards on the wall. The lizards were shot in the head by an arrow while not recognizing me yet.

“Quek.”
“Geeeee…”

With a loud noise, the lizards scattered to ashes. Rarely, a low-grade potion was dropped at the place where the lizard died.

After picking up the potion and waiting for a while, the other three arrived one after another.
Minerva was at least better, but Rey and Jin looked pretty tough. Jean, in particular, was running with the help of Minerva, panting for her breath. Minerva should have been able to follow me well enough, but I couldn’t leave those two alone, so it seems that I matched the speed with them and followed them.

“Why are you so slow? So at what age will you catch the boss?”

When he said it bluntly, Lay and Jin, who had been chasing hard, let their shoulders drop.

“It’s just that Yuzu is too fast. Keep pace with the party members a little more.”

Minerva, who was still in good condition, intervened. For some reason, Minerva seems to be on the side of those two more than me. Sooner or later, I’ll have to make sure I’m educating you who is your master.

“I lack willpower. I do all the hunting, but can’t you just follow me?”
“It’s not a matter of will, it’s purely because of the difference in level and equipment.”

Minerva refuted my sarcasm as if she were astonished.
I have options like movement speed increase, agility increase, and stamina increase attached to my equipment. There is also an increase in stats due to collecting familiars. It would make more sense if there was no difference from beginner adventurers who were only wearing SR-grade equipment.

Originally, adventurers are not affected much by human physical strength. In fact, I know at least that Minerva is right.

“Only oppa is too fast~ Take a break and go~”

Jin grabs my trouser leg and pretends to fall. Ray doesn’t speak either, but he looks pretty strained as he catches her breath.

“Tch. I can’t do it. Shall we take a break for a while?”

It’s not overbearing, but there’s no need to be in too much of a hurry. Even at this level, it will be several times faster than others.

I took out the sofa I had just bought from my inventory and laid it out in the dungeon. It is a gorgeous sofa that does not suit a desolate cave.

“Hueeng~.”

Jin lay down on the sofa as if collapsing with a gasping sound. Rey sat down beside him to feed Jin, and Minerva stood beside her, watching her surroundings.

Suddenly, when I checked the party window, the two of them had already reached level 8. As the level is low, it rises quickly. I can get it up to 10 in about two turns.

“It’s hard to keep hunting at this pace. From now on, it’s just walking.”

Minerva said worriedly.

“What are you going to do? I can’t even carry it on my back.”

I was sarcastic too, but not without thought. Should I inevitably have to hunt at the pace of walking? Or should I send it back to rest?

As I was thinking about seeing Ray and Jin dying without even fighting, Minerva gave her opinion again.

“Why don’t you take out Sleipnir? If you’re just following me anyway, you can come on horseback.”
“What? I’m not riding, so let’s ride someone else?”

When I heard that, my face immediately turned into a frown.

“But at this rate, it’s only taking up time, and I think that method is the most efficient. And those kids are Yuzu’s slaves, right?

Jin and Ray only ran around for about 30-40 minutes, but their faces were drawn. I didn’t run normally, but I ran with all my might, so that’s understandable.
In terms of efficiency, Minerva’s opinion is reasonable. Still, I, the owner, hunt, but I don’t get angry when two slaves follow me on horseback!

“It’s fine until you grow to a certain extent. Think of it as an initial investment. It would be good for Yuzu to help you become stronger quickly.”
“…Sheesh. I can’t do it. Sleipnir.”

Minerva’s repeated persuasion forced me to finally break. In any case, it is obvious that if I have to force myself to drag it around, it will only hold my ankle.
When Sleipnir was summoned from the ministry, a large horse appeared and excitedly stamped his forepaw.

Hee hee!”
“Whoa! I mean!”

Seeing Sleipnir for the first time, Jin shouted with her eyes sparkling. Ray was startled and stood firm next to her.

“Where did you get it? Did you take it out of your inventory?”

Jin, who had been exhausted until just now, stroked Sleipnir’s black mane without hesitation, as if he had never done that before. Even though they are herbivores, they are not afraid of a horse that big.
Sleipnir was also purring and resting his head as if in a good mood. Are you a dog

“I can’t do that. This is my familiar.”

I said that, but all three people except me didn’t know about the existence of the familiar. Minerva had already seen Sleipney several times, but it seemed that she was just doing it.

“If you grind the summoned SR equipment or SSR equipment, something called fairy dust comes out. If you collect 300 of them, you can summon your familiar.”

While I was taking a break, I explained about summoning a familiar. Necessary conditions, types of summons, grades, and so on.
After I finished my explanation, Jin, who had listened attentively to her, raised her hand and asked a question.

“If there’s such a thing, I want to summon it too… But first, you need runestones to summon equipment, right? Besides, I can’t even sharpen the equipment I use.”

To collect the powder required for one summon, you need to grind 30 SR equipment and 3 SSR. If I had heard this before I was billed, it would have sounded absurd.

“By the way, Yuzu, where did you get such a rune stone? Besides, gold is also the same.”

It’s a question Ray asks, but it’s difficult to answer. How can I say that if I have sex, I will be charged.

“I’ll talk about that later. Let’s move slowly.”

When I got up from the sofa with a vague look, Ray and Jin also hurriedly stood up. I packed the sofa back into my inventory.

“What are you doing? I’m not riding.”

When I urged Ray and Jin, who were standing there staring at each other, the two looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

…And after a while, an absurd sight unfolded before my eyes.

“Wait! Why is Minerva riding there?!”

On top of Sleipnir, there were three people riding together in the order of Minerva, Ray, and Jin. Sleipnir is big, but the seats are too small for the three of them to ride together. Maybe that’s why the three of them were stuck together.

“Aren’t you and Ray unnie both able to ride a horse?”

Jin said shyly.
I’ve never ridden a horse either. Of course, it would be the same for Ray and Jin, who are also rural people.

Even so, isn’t it terribly unfair to come on horseback without me? Are you talking about me?

“I want to ride too!”
“It’s forced. How are you going to get on here?”

At my words, Minerva rejected her.
Sleipnir was already full. Even when Minerva and I rode together, there was not much room. Since these three are thin, they can ride at the same time, and it seemed obvious that there was no room for me to fit in.

Damn it! I mean!

“Then I’ll get off and walk.”

Said Ray hesitantly.

“I do not need!”

Such cheap pity!
I turned around and started running. I heard the hooves of chasing horses behind me.

“Pu-hee-hee-hee!”
“Kuh… You bastard…”

The cry of Sleipnir running excitedly was heard today as if it were being laughed at.
Somehow angry, I ran with all my might on my legs, but I couldn’t win against the horse. Sleipnir, who was following behind, was following easily as if laughing.
Damn it. When I get back, I’ll feed you carrots with mustard.

Thanks to that rage whipping me, my hunting speed increased. Anyway, even if you pass by the trash mobs, it’s a shot. I shot arrows at the monsters I encountered as I passed by with a movement close to that of a moving shot.
Monsters hit by even one of my arrows lost their lives without fail. I didn’t even have to pick up the drop items dropped by the trash mobs, I passed them all.

“Oppa, cheer up! You’re cool! Yuzu oppa is the best!”

Even Jin’s cheering on Sleipnir made me angry.

“Look around now. You’ll have to pay it back with your body later.”

I went downstairs, wiping out the monsters in a trance.

And arrived at the 5th basement floor. It’s the boss room.
As before, many adventurers gathered in front of the boss room like defeated soldiers.

“Minerva. I’m going to ignore them and go straight to the boss room.”
“Okay.”

I ran in the lead, and Sleipnir followed after him.

“Ooh!?”

The adventurers who were sitting on the ground and blocking the road stood up on their own when the huge horse rushed at them. There was no need to get off the horse and walk like before.

Arriving in front of the boss room first, I opened the door without hesitation.

“Wait! If we’re going to have a boss fight together…!”

One of the adventurers shouts something. Waiting on the slaves is also pissing me off, but I wonder if they’re even going to wait on the bastards.

He stretched out his hand and fired an arrow at the feet of the adventurer who was trying to come this way. Right in front of the target’s toe, the arrow pierced the stone cave floor.

“If you follow me, you will die.”

I gave that advice and entered the boss room. The guy who was almost hit by an arrow screamed something, but he ignored everything. In the end, only our party entered the boss room.

“You guys are just watching.”

Even if I don’t talk anyway, I’ll just watch it, but I’ve nailed it in advance.

The boss is the same as before. A bright red monitor lizard. In the name column, it is written as a wide-open salamander. There were dozens of non-characteristic gray lizards gathered around it.

I rushed towards the boss with an arrow attached to my string.

“Kiii-!”

It wasn’t until I got fairly close that the boss noticed me and yelled at me. The nearby lizards also heard the sound and turned their heads to me all at once.

I approached the boss while dodging between the mobs.

Finally, when the distance between me and the boss was about 3 m, I aimed my arrow. To my surprise, the aiming gauge quickly filled up.
Range shown is 5%. It might be 0% if we stick close to each other, but I have no intention of getting close enough to kiss a disgusting lizard.

Salamander opens his mouth and takes a deep breath. Are you thinking of trimming? It seemed to me that it was nothing but a weakness.

“Power shot.”

As soon as I finished aiming, I aimed the throat of the lizard with its mouth wide open and fired the arrow. The iron sight that escaped the string pierces the lizard’s mouth. A splendid effect, like a white firecracker exploding, exploded.

Critical, damage 68,000. The arrow had gone through his mouth and into his stomach, so he couldn’t even see the tip.

“Cookie profit!”

The red lizard screamed in that one blow and met its end in a daze. It shakes its head as if in pain, but its body has been scattered from its tail to ashes.

I didn’t know that I would die in one shot, so I turned my catfish string to another lizard. There was a gray lizard about to swing its tail right next to it, so I shot an arrow at it.

The boss is also one shot, but there’s no way a trash mob can survive. The lizard hit by the arrow turned to ashes and disappeared. One foot per guy. After I shot one, I immediately fired an arrow at the next.

There were even lizards that would attack me from time to time, but there’s no reason to be hit with an attack that’s slow enough to put me to sleep. He twisted his back to avoid the lizard’s tail attack, and put an arrow between the cheeks of the cheeky lizard that had dared to attack. The number of lizards dwindled each time I bounced.

One shot one kill. The lizards, which were close to twenty, disappeared without realizing it. On the floor of the cave, only various japtems dropped by the lizards were scattered.
