chapter 30
30 – A very large snowball launched by an NPC. (2)
“…because. Ponia will never perish at the level of this monster parade. Do you understand?”
“Oh…yes. Maybe because the smart guy told me twice, I got it.”
“I understood that earlier!”
“Right. Your sister is very nice and smart, isn’t she?”
When Ragni naturally reaches out and strokes Ira’s hair, Ira squints her eyes and smiles.
“Yeah! My brother said I was smart!”
“hahahaha. You’re right. But your brother is a bit more brainy than I thought. What should I do?”
“It doesn’t matter! I will live with you!!”
“Hey. Do you like your brother that much?”
“Yes! Ragni ah…”
“Just, Ragni.”
“Ah. Yes! Will Ragni live with you too?”
“Oh. Are you adding me too? Then, that’s good.”
A landscape like a family.
Right next to him, Gorga looked at three people. Despite being told that his hair is bad, Jack says he doesn’t care as long as Ira is good, and smiles with a haggard face.
And Ray, who is looking at it like that. She is now.
‘…This is the atmosphere where I’m going to go out completely, right?’
I was feeling a great sense of danger.
The party in a wagon going to the border area of the empire.
It’s been a little over a week since Ragni joined this group, and Ira seems to be following Ragni more than he has been with her for almost a year.
Why on earth…?
“Huh? What? Oh, okay. Come back.”
“W-what?! Jack, what’s going on?!”
“Huh? Oh, no. Gor said he found a monster nearby, so he told me to deal with it and come back.”
“Ah! Well, then me too…!!”
“No. If you go only to Gorman, there is no need to stop the carriage, but if you go all the way to you, you have to stop the carriage.”
“Tsk…!!”
Gor quickly gets off the carriage and runs into the forest.
And Ray, who looked blankly at that, became more and more anxious. Because I couldn’t even see the movement properly just now.
“…Hmm.”
“W-What is it?!”
“No, just. Oh, hey, Jack.”
“Yes. What’s going on?”
Ragni, who made a nasal noise as if he knew something when he saw him, ignored Ray and immediately walked over to Jack and sat down next to him.
However, unlike when he and Gor were involved, Jack just accepted it. Moreover, it doesn’t seem like Rado is stopping her from joining.
Ray felt his heart beat faster at the sight.
“No. There’s something I don’t know, so I’ve been curious since before. How the hell do you talk to that golem? Didn’t you say you can’t use magic?”
“Ah. That’s Gor. How should I say, uh… That, Nyan sense? I blow the same thing. Like this, like that.”
“Hmm? It’s amazing. How did you tame them in the first place? Didn’t tamers have more or less magic?”
“Because I had a skill related to that. Regardless of magic, it was just one skill that could be tamed.”
“Wow. Isn’t that better than my skill?”
“No, do you think the smarter one is 100 times better?”
“…Could it be that you lost your intelligence and gained skills?”
“hahahahaha. That’s a bit harsh.”
“Whoops. But, doesn’t that sound like something wrong?”
The distance between the two of them is strangely close, unlike the one they had just been talking to.
Contrary to the reaction that shed from annoyance when talking to him in the first place, Jack seems comfortable talking to Ragni.
Where the hell does this difference come from? Ray couldn’t figure it out.
On top of that, isn’t it like an urban ghost story that he hasn’t acquired yet?
To think that Gor was being manipulated by that kind of thing, Ray became more nervous when he saw Ragni, who found out in a week what he hadn’t known before after a year of being together.
and.
“…It’s a match. Ragni, you and I, let’s see who is more helpful to the party!!”
The last border town of the Empire.
Ray shouted before boarding the upper carriage to Aygram.
*
…is this a mess?
“What the hell do you mean, Ray Ray?”
“Le-Ray only once! Me and the king…!! Go, no! Ragni! Let’s compete to see who is more helpful to our party!!”
So why, why is that so? it’s this girl
Upper wagon box office.
The carriage cost to Igram is 20,000 cans per person. In my case, Gor is classified as Jim. 35,000 cans.
Our group had a total of 4 people.
That means you need to prepare more than 100,000 cans.
Obviously, when I was alone with Ira for the first time, 200,000 cans of Igram were enough… It’s not a taxi… It’s quite heartbreaking to see the carriage cost suddenly run out, but honestly, recently I’ve been thinking that this isn’t too bad.
Yeah, I’m sure it was.
[…100,000 cans. How much do we lack right now?]
[huh? There are roughly 70,000 cans on hand right now, so 30,000 cans are short. why?]
Ray, who heard that the carriage fee was a little short, suddenly became that one. what?
hey. Gor.
(!)[Skill: Can’t stand injustice. It’s running. (Target: Mountain Keeper Jack.)]
Gorr, who noticed just by looking at my eyes, pops up a status window and I tilt my gaze even more.
Why is he really like that? The skill is being activated on me, and Ragni hasn’t done anything particularly evil.
When I was thinking alone like that.
“Huh. Okay. But, what kind of competition are you talking about?”
“Of course…!!”
“You’re not saying you want to compete with me, right? You look like a swordsman. I’m a weak slave. You know that you can’t be an opponent if you just fight, right?”
“oh…!!”
What is he really doing? Ragni only said a few words, but he was already sweating profusely. What on earth did you want to compete with?
“Ah, that. Well, since the carriage is two days later, let’s say that the one who hunts monsters until two days later and makes all the money for the carriage will win…”
“…No. Doesn’t that make sense? It’s impossible for me to hunt monsters. Moreover, even if I can hunt monsters, what kind of game will it be if I collect the insufficient 30,000 cans from both sides?”
“ah…!!”
When Ragni said something absurd in response to Ray’s answer to my question, Ray, who had now begun to think very much, was flustered with Hawaii.
Whew.
“Okay. What’s a game? If there’s something you don’t like, just talk…”
“Well, that’s not possible!!”
“Eh?”
When I see Ray yelling something really desperately, I look at her in complete bewilderment.
Why is he doing this? is there really a bug?
“…Ray, stop being so pushy, if you want to do something, ig…”
“No. That’s my opinion too. I think we’ll have to wait and see if we win.”
“…Ragni? Why even you…?”
No, why are these women really like this?! However, ignoring my absurd reaction, the two looked at each other and began to open their mouths.
“Ragni is smart, so suggest a fair match!”
“Okay. Since I said it was a contest, I guess I’ll have to bet something, right? You decide the price.”
“Joe, okay!! Then, what kind of game will we have…?”
“Make the money I mentioned earlier. That’s all.”
“…to?”
Ragni spoke plainly, and this time both Ray and I were dumbfounded. No, monster hunting?
What kind of hunting are you doing when you can’t even activate your skills…
“No, let’s make money. Don’t worry about the total amount. We need travel expenses anyway, right? Every day, Gor goes alone and eats and spends with the magic stones he earns, so if we earn some money in our own way, it will help in the future. This will work, won’t it?”
“Yeah, that’s right. That’s right! I thought so too!!”
No, you’re not like that.
Ray, who had spit out a lie no matter who heard it, nodded vigorously and affirmed Ragni’s words.
ha. What kind of situation is this…
“Then, I’ll have to tear the party apart.”
“What? Tear up the party? Why all of a sudden…”
“Then, let’s all go out together to make money? Ray can go out hunting, but I’ll make it in the village. Then, Ray has to go alone, is that okay? Or, are you going to tear up the equity by attaching Gorr over there?”
“That, that’s…”
“Yeah, that’s right. With Gor sticking by my side, I’ll be able to rampage more. It’s clearly not fair.”
“Visa is also true. If you’re out alone and I’m out here with a group of people, can you believe that I’m making my own money?”
“That, that’s…!!”
A matter of trust. This is a really difficult problem.
It wouldn’t matter if it was a match between me and Ray or a match between me and Ragni, but those two didn’t even get close for a little over a week.
In addition, no matter what goal was scored, the situation in which they had to compete with each other, of course, would not easily trust each other.
So in the end.
“Let’s each pick a party. My side and your side.”
“…Joe, okay. Then, who goes first…”
“Because I decided the match. You pick first.”
“to…?!”
Our party is odd. When I say “choose first” here, I’m telling you to take the two of you.
What was Ragni thinking about making such a big concession?
And I don’t even know what this confrontation is for, but I was just overbearing while watching the board grow on its own.
*
“Then, this has been decided.”
“…This, what’s a little strange?”
“Brother! Go! Don’t get hurt! Skewers when you come!!”
[Please go.]
Ira-ya oppa goes out of town, how do you buy skewers…?
And why did you choose first, so we are two and there are three?
Is this also a strategy from that princess’s head? Is this really a difference in intelligence? It’s absurd.
“…I’m really smart.”
“…it’s just that you and I are brainless.”
“Ouch…”
Ray’s shoulders narrowed at my low-key murder. oh wow, what can you do
Ray apparently chose me first.
Yes, I see what this choice means.
In fact, seeing the situation, Ragni sighed a little. but.
[I want to pick Ira. Come on, come on.]
[huh!]
[…Uh, wait. If so…]
[Gor is left. Will the two of you take it?]
[…Choose. Protect Ira and Ragni.]
[yes. Please leave it to me.]
“Ser, no way. I didn’t know that the choice to pick Miss Ira was the Joker.”
“…I only noticed it after Ragni called Ira. You and me, let’s not gamble. 100 losses in 100 matches are guaranteed. I will fly to the house documents.”
If Rey chose Ira first, Nana should have gone to Rey unconditionally.
okay. Ray will hunt monsters to earn money, and there can be no situation where only the pair of Ira and Ray are sent out.
Moreover, it is called level 2.
Even if I died, I would have gone out with Ira, and in the evening, regardless of whether Ray was left alone or not, I would also have brought Gordo Ira back to the village.
what? When you think about it this way, isn’t it right for you to be with Ragni, no matter what?
So, the three of you were there from the beginning?!
“…Ooh. I’m sorry. Jack would have wanted to be with Miss Ira.”
“…No. That’s enough.”
Let’s not talk.
He may not be dumber than me, but I feel like he’s too scared to notice right now.
In this division, Ragni was always left in the village at 3. If I tell that fact, Ray will lose more strength.
I went out of the village, giving Ray a good fight, as his shoulders fell off.
