1551 Episode 1551



"You threw up more easily than I thought."

 Three rooms from the man's room of the researcher... in front of the room used as a warehouse, Vihela muttered briefly:
 In fact, the researcher didn't talk about Ray's question at first... where the black crystals were, but instead tried to mislead him with other information.
 It's the same with multiple long‐hand penetrations on both arms... and yet the researcher didn't tell me where the black crystal was.
 It looked painful to the eye, but given the researcher's words and deeds, there was no room for sympathy... even a faint smell of blood in the room.
 The man must have been excellent as a researcher because he never mentioned important information, regardless of what he said.
 I could simply say that I had a strong attachment to the black crystals that I was studying.
 Anyway, the man who had been silent for such a reason eventually said where the black crystal was because Ray had stripped the nail off his hands, chopped his fingers, and when it was over, he said he would chop his hands, and then his arms.
 No, not only did I eat it, but I actually peeled off the man's little fingernail with a knife.
 It was the deadliest blow to break the man's mouth.
 Of course, I didn't give information even if my arms were pierced with a long needle, so I didn't give in to the pain.
 Simply, if you could not use both hands, you would be fatally damaged as a researcher.
 As a researcher, I cannot experiment or write a report as a matter of course.
 Of course, if you have a magic item prosthetic hand, you can do something about it, but that's only for a very high-performance magic item prosthetic hand.
 If Jaya were to give the man a prosthetic hand for such an expensive magic item... maybe no.
 A man was competent as a researcher, but still not as competent as any other.
 When it comes to the crunch, there are other researchers with similar abilities, and the man was not originally a member of Jaya, but was forcibly brought in.
 That being the case, I simply couldn't trust you completely.
 The man was so reluctant because he knew it that he told him where the black crystal was, thinking that he could shed tears of blood.

the bottom floor of the fifth basement ...well, it's a promise or a pattern.)

 Watching Bune trying to unlock the door, Ray recalls where the Black Crystal is located.
 There was not much distance between the man's room and this warehouse, but the trap was still in operation, perhaps because of the emergency.
 However, most of the traps could have been released by Beune, and even if the lays were unable to release them, they could have easily broken them.
 Bune is basically a bandit specializing in combat, but his skills as a bandit are not at all low and he has average skills.
 In fact, Bune was still trying to unlock the room that was being used as a warehouse.

 It was simple, but tightly locked.

"He was a researcher, for better or for worse. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Portions, in some cases, are life-threatening?"
"Well, I've heard that overdosing is bad for your health. And I've heard of someone who has developed immunity to potions by continuing to use them."
"...what? Immunity? Does that mean the potion won't work?"

 It was the first time Ray had heard of it coming out of Elena's mouth.

"That's true," However, a few bottles won't do anything about it. You don't have to think about it if you use it for days on end."
"What kind of opponent do you have to fight against in a potion for days on end.
"I have heard that a huge... a battle against Golem, which is as tall as three if it were a building of a major magician." It took more than five days to knock everything down. Of course, they didn't keep fighting by themselves, but they were fighting in turn at many parties."
"...I'm a little interested,"
"Well, I'm interested, too."

 Vihela agrees with Ray's words.
 But Ray and Vihela had a subtle difference in interest.
 Ray said he was interested simply because he wanted to see the golem.
 I thought, "Isn't that like a super robot?"In Vihela's case, the word came from his desire to fight against such a powerful enemy.
 Basically, Vihela says that if the opponent is strong, that's fine, so the Golem bigger than the house must have been the one who stimulated the desire to fight.
 Marina continues, ignoring their words.

"Anyway, it seems that the adventurer who used too much of the potion in the battle with Golem could hardly recover after a while."
"Wow..."

 Vichela's mouth leaks a sympathetic murmur.
 Ray understands how it feels.
 Wizards are already quite rare.
 Fewer of them can use recovery magic, and it's very fortunate to have a party with someone who can use it.
 And those who are not lucky have no choice but to use the potion for recovery.
 It will be difficult to work as an adventurer if the part doesn't heal or make it harder to heal.
 In addition, Marina is the one who is currently using recovery magic in the wings of the red lotus.
 This is because the magic of water spirits can heal injuries.
 When Ray was working solo, his part was his main means of recovery.
 However, in Ray's case, he had a strong protective device called the Dragon Robes and his own high motor nerves, so he rarely got injured fighting the enemy.

"Yes!"

 Suddenly Bune muttered as Rey and others talked about the potions.
 Watching the voice towards the door, Ray saw the open door.

(I could have broken the door more forcefully and walked in, but... I was stopped because if there was a trap, I wouldn't get what was inside.)

 "However, since I have heard that the room used as a warehouse is just a kind of consumable item, I don't want it that much."
 But if Ray might have fewer magic items than he initially expected, he needs to earn somewhere.
 ...in fact, Ray already has enough money for ordinary people to play around for the rest of their lives even if they are reborn several times, so I don't mean that he really wants it...but around here he's got something to get.
 What's more, if you anticipate what this underground facility will look like in a few hours, everything in the warehouse could turn into charcoal.
 So I had Bune unlock the key to me. . . . .

"Well, these are consumables, I said. I never thought there was a pile of cloth."

 Yes, there was a lot of cloth in the warehouse.
 Whether it was for experiments or for everyday life, Ray didn't know, but it was a pretty good piece of cloth that was crammed into the room.

"I wonder what he was using it for? ... Did he sew his own clothes?"

 Vichela's ill-fitting prediction makes Ray predict the scene... and he bursts out laughing unconsciously.
 But he immediately says something that denies it.

"No, isn't it? It looked pretty sloppy. How many days did you leave your clothes on?"

 Ray wonders if he's wearing clothes until they get dirty and throwing them away instead of washing them, but instead of saying it out, he picks up a nearby cloth and puts it in a mistling.
 I'm going to keep things that can be stored for now.
 One after the other, they stow away the cloths in the warehouse, and eventually there are only shelves in the room.
 Ray can't think of how to use this much cloth, but he can use it for something or, worst of all, just sell it off to some store.
 The cloth is usually quite bulky and difficult to carry around, but it didn't matter to Ray, who has a mistling.

"Well, then, the next room was five rooms away from here, wasn't it?" --if possible, why don't you break the door quickly, rather than unlock it? I don't think there were any traps in this warehouse."
"Yes!"

 Ray complains that Bune should not take his job.
 Bune is aware of being a thief, but his skills are rarely useful at this party.
 That's the truth, it's not necessary to go out of your way to break the trap, as in the case of the Lays, you can do anything by force.It is undeniable that Bune became a combat-focused thief.
 Rarely, Ray understands that Bune is dissatisfied with his words, but he opens his mouth to Bune.

"You may have forgotten, but we are carrying out a surprise attack on this underground facility. It hasn't been long since I entered this underground facility, so I don't think it's a problem... but you know it's still better to do something as soon as possible."
"Yes,"

 Bune muttered a little at Ray's words.
 Ray, however, isn't as worried as he says.
 The biggest entrance to this underground facility is guarded by Seto.
 I can't believe that there is anyone in this country of Levulina, and in Jaya, who can compete equally with Seto.
 The man above did not know, but there is no denying that reinforcements could come from somewhere else, given the certainty that there are other entrances to this underground facility.
 ...and yet Ray will insist that there is no problem.
 In fact, none of the combatants in this underground facility have ever felt threatened.
 That was the only consequence, even the most advanced gatekeepers, could be trampled down by the Vihelas.
 The only worry, after all, is the giant.
 How strong is it specifically? And how many are there?
 As long as we don't know what's going on in that area, we have to count it as uncertainty.

"Anyway, as soon as possible..."As with the Giants, we must do something about the Black Crystal."

 Originally, even a prostitute pregnant with a giant wants to do something about it, but there is no way to do anything about it.
 When the giant is born, the prostitute loses her life.
 Or maybe there's a way to force a miscarriage if you're just pregnant... Ray can't think of such a way.

(If possible, I would kill him without suffering, without realizing that he was dead.

 You may not have read Ray's idea, but Bune doesn't seem to complain any more.
 Rey and his colleagues leave the room after confirming that all the cloths in the room are gone.
 We went straight down the road and eventually arrived at another warehouse.

"Huh? This is... I see."

 It was easy to imagine what the room looked like from the scent that floated through the door the moment it was broken.
 Even if you don't have as sharp a sense of smell as Ray, it's not hard to tell what's in the warehouse.

"Well, researchers are human beings, so there's no way they can do anything without eating."

 As Marina murmured, everything in the warehouse is food.
 Then Ray would put it in a mistling at random, hoping that he would have enough food.
