Chapter 5 – Newbies Are Sexy.

“Ugh, such a mistake…!”

As if it wasn’t enough to have her limbs tied, Lucia trembled at the unpleasant feeling of a soft, hard, and slippery feeling that penetrated between her legs, armpits, and breasts and tightened as if trying to squeeze them.

What happens to the woman captured by the monster? Her fear was even greater because she knew it so well that she didn’t even need to look into it.

“Ah, star.”

“Ugh, ugh.”

She calls out to her colleague, but her eyes are unfocused. She was already unable to move, unable to resist the tentacles, and she could see her clothes being torn off faster than she could.

‘It’s my fault.’

Lucia blamed herself. I knew that one of the reasons it became like that was because her magic affected Asta as well.

It’s temporary, but to test the new gold-level adventurer who joined their party, they chose a monster that was one level higher than the monster they usually faced as the target for subjugation.

Because he was so suspicious, I was so concerned about background investigation that I ended up leaving without knowing the detailed characteristics of the target of subjugation.

“Hi. Oh my god.”

“Huh?!”

What was heard at that time was Tiaran’s sigh approaching towards them.

‘Does that mean he’s still a gold level adventurer?’

Even if you run away and leave them behind, no one will say anything. Lucia had a strange feeling when she saw him approaching, sighing as if she had no choice.

Because she had been suspicious and wary of him until now. As it was certainly guaranteed by the guild leader, the buff used by Tiaran was superior to most potions or blessings given by priests.

‘It seemed like he had some kind of problem.’

That’s why it was more suspicious. The method is a bit strange, but if you can give this level of blessing, there will be no party that doesn’t want to take you.

According to what I found out for myself, doesn’t it mean that I don’t have any marker and don’t know how to write? An adventurer called by the pejorative name Nimaka because he was not born with Maka, which everyone is born with.

I couldn’t help but be suspicious because he was actually using an excellent marker that went beyond the ordinary.

‘Why have you been hiding this marker until now?’

All I could think was that he had been hiding it for some purpose. Especially since he revealed to them the Maka that he had been hiding for so long.

Considering the identity of themselves, especially Asta, it was extremely suspicious. Lucia had planned on him as a potential enemy. It was shameful that I had to be saved by him.

“Okay, run away! No one will say anything if you leave us alone!”

“Huh?”

As he approached them, he looked at Lucia as if she had heard something unexpected, but he couldn’t help it. Aside from the shame, they felt a surge of guilt when they saw that the person they had been suspicious of was trying to save them.

“You’re a buffer, huh?! That’s right!”

And I could understand why he was only at Gold level despite having such a buff. His pure power without the use of buffs is only that much.

‘This person will suffer too!’

Still, it may be considered gold level, but it is difficult to see humans with a specific Maka excelling at other abilities. Even though it was gold, she guessed that it was barely a pull-up and continued talking.

“So, don’t get caught for nothing…!”

“This is amazing. It’s a novel experience for a newbie to worry about stagnant water.”

Despite Lucia’s words, Tiaran did not run away from her, but rather approached her, tapping her shoulder with her bent goblin totem.

“What are you doing? They told me to run away…?”

“Heoi cha.”

However, Lucia was unable to continue her words as she saw the scene that followed. By swinging the totem, he exploded and cut off all the tentacles that were wrapped around Asta, who was in a more dangerous situation than Lucia, who was struggling.

“Kkigiik!”

“Where?”

Poison Tentacle seemed to have recognized him as dangerous only then, and regenerated the broken tentacles to target Tiaran, but before that, he was putting his foot on the body that was glimpsed between the broken tentacles.

“Kyuppeuik!!”

Pop! The Poison Tentacle was crushed, making a cute sound that did not match its hideous and disgusting appearance. It all happened in an instant.

‘This doesn’t make sense!’

Lucia, who was directly captured, knew that the Poison Tentacle was no different from a muscle mass than it looked. It seemed like Asta would have to do his best to cut off the tentacles, and Lucia would have to use maximum firepower to take him down.

He killed Poison Tentacle with a single swing of a club and a light trample.

‘Is this a gold level adventurer?’

Lucia, who had heard that gold-level adventurers were great but never expected them to be of this level, was at a loss for words.

“Kyaa! Ah?”

“Well, don’t hurt my ears.”

The tentacles that supported her disappeared and she almost fell into the swamp, but her tiaran prevented her from falling into the swamp by lightly holding her up with his free hand.

“Thank you, thank you…”

Lucia tried to thank him for saving her.

“Newbies. I think we need to talk?”

“Eh?”

Lucia blinked her eyes at his sudden change in mood.

“Okay. What’s this guy’s name?”

“Poison Tentacle…”

Asta, who was secretly looking at him, looked at him awkwardly. Currently, after retrieving the Poison Tentacle’s Machia, Tiaran left her swamp, placed the girls on her knees, and drew a picture of the guy on the ground.

“That’s right! Poison means poison and Tentacle means tentacles.”

“We know that much too, right? We thought someone was a child…!”

“You know-it-alls accept a request from Poison Tentacle without even an antidote?”

“Ugh!”

Lucia looked angry, but couldn’t say anything despite his bruises, and only his face turned red.

‘If you have a conscience, you can’t say anything.’

If Tiaran hadn’t brought her antidote just in case, they would have spent today completely frozen like stone.

“That girl over there is also a problem.”

“Me?”

Asta pointed at himself blankly, but he was merciless.

“If you know that this young lady has a forgetful personality, shouldn’t you let her know and take care of her?”

“Who is making noise?!”

“I’m sorry.”

“Asta?!”

Lucia looked at her as if she had been betrayed by a colleague she trusted, but Asta just avoided her gaze as if she had no shame. Tia Ran, who was observing them with her arms crossed, nodded and nominated her.

“There’s a blue-haired girl.”

“What is it?”

Lucia answered hesitantly.

“From now on, I will call you a new lady.”

“Who are you calling someone a rookie?!”

“Then isn’t it?”

“Of course! If you do your research properly, you can get that Poison Tentacle!”

“You’re a rookie at the point where you already have to do research. Veterans tend to memorize all the monster’s characteristics.”

“Profit!”

It looked like she wanted to refute something, but she couldn’t say anything and just lowered her head.

“And that girl over there is a newbie.”

“Yes, I’m a newbie.”

“Asta! How can I obediently admit such strange words?”

“But it’s not something you can refuse.”

“Ah, but.”

Tiaran, who heard their whispering conversation, thought they must have understood and continued speaking.

“Looking at the girls’ condition, I think I’ll have to change this schedule.”

“Huh?! Who can do whatever they want… Ugh?!”

“Whoever wants, does what he wants.”

When he struck Lucia’s forehead with the tree branch he was painting on, Asta, helpless, flinched and straightened her posture.

“Now, from now on, you will enter adventurer-style special training.”

“Adventurous spirit?”

“Special education?”

After seeing the women taking turns talking to each other, he thought that teamwork itself would be no problem and started drawing with tree branches.

“Yes, it is special training. We will stay in this swamp for 3 days and 2 nights and deal with the surrounding monsters.”

“Then here’s the schedule!”

“Rookie, is your schedule important right now? The way I see it, if you guys keep going like this, you’re going to crash in a few days.”

“Ugh!”

In the end, Lucia was unable to refute Tiaran’s words.

“The monsters around here are generally of low difficulty. Goblins, Arachne, slimes, rope traps, etc. Even the Poison Tentacle is not strong enough.”

“That is.”

She looked like she wanted to say something when he talked about the Poison Tentacle, but she swallowed her words in the end. Yes, as long as you deal with it well, you shouldn’t say anything if you get hit by a worthless guy even in the C class.

“So, this is the best place to teach newbies like you quickly.”

“… I understand.”

Lucia looked at the monsters he drew and their characteristics, thought about it carefully, and seemed to be convinced.

“But what do you mean by ‘New, B?’ I feel bad for some reason.”

“Newbies are mites. We have to protect them.”

“Treated like a baby?! I roughly expected it, but it’s much worse!”

“What’s wrong? We newbies are quiet…?”

“Asta! You too, say something…?”

But they could not continue speaking. That’s because Asta, who was kneeling next to Lucia and listening to Tiaran’s story just a moment ago, was nowhere to be found.

“Eh, do, please come. Meueuuu!”

Fortunately or unfortunately, she was seen not far away, entangled in the vines of a plant-type monster and being dragged away. Asta managed to call for help by chewing on the vine that was blocking her own mouth, but was entangled again.

The monster seemed to realize that they had noticed her and stopped dragging her slowly, quickly pulling on her vines and dragging her away.

“Newbie!!!”

“Astaaaaa!!!”

The screams of two people echoed through the forest.
