137-CHAPTER 136




side: William


I was watching Satsuki's fight with my wizard eye on standby, and I have to say, it was nothing short of amazing.

The Mother Rock Worm seemed to have a high self-regeneration ability, which I had obviously not calculated.
However, Satsuki didn't care about such irregularities, and screwed Mother Rockworm over with her overwhelming moves.

She played the game as if she were playing a game of "chelt", counting backwards from the end of the game and making the current move, and repeated it dozens of times to win overwhelmingly.
The fact that he was able to do this with only his intuition and feeling suggests that there is a realm in the world of warriors that is beyond the reach of us magicians.

In addition, I predicted earlier that Mother Rockworm's overall strength would not be higher than A rank, but looking at the actual battle scenes and the viciousness of her regeneration ability, I feel that it would be problematic to include her in the B rank category.

I don't think that a B-rank warrior such as Irene or a knight of the Royal Court would be able to compete with her on her own.
It would take two of those classes to finally win a victory, so a B+ would be an appropriate ranking.

In any case, what I can say is that Satsuki's ability is undoubtedly real, as she easily won a crushing victory against that thing without being hit by a single blow.
Even if you take into account the effects of the spell I cast, it doesn't add up to Satsuki's past ability.

When I think of this, the edge of my mouth lifts involuntarily.
I knew that Satsuki would get stronger, but I didn't expect her to get the results so quickly.

I'm impressed with her.
She had been training early in the morning every day without fail, and the results of her training may have blossomed at this time.

By nature, human growth is a slow process.
Even if you devote yourself day by day, the 'result' will not come so easily.

This is especially true if you already have a certain level of sufficient ability.
If it were that easy for everyone to get results, everyone would be a master with S rank ability in a year.

Therefore, growth through effort is difficult.
It is not possible for everyone to continue to make daily efforts without giving up and without getting rotten even if there are no immediate visible results.

However, it is precisely because Satsuki has been working tirelessly day in and day out that she has been able to achieve this goal.
It may be my own sentimentality to think so, but...

I was thinking about this as I looked at Satsuki's appearance with the wizard eyes...

'Oh, William! It's ......!

Just then, I felt Mee pull on my robe.
I return my vision from the wizard's eye to my own.

'Mee, what's wrong?

'I see it, William, it's there!

'Is that ......?

I look in the direction that Mee is pointing.
It's just across the tunnel from where we are, across the underground space.

The exit of a different tunnel from ours.
I saw two adventurers there.

I gulped when I saw them.

'You're here already? ......'

Glenn, and Cecilia.
A young man with red hair and black armor and a woman with silver hair and black robes were there.

Much faster than I expected.
We took the shortest route to get here by using monsters.
And yet, those two arrived here, albeit a little late, with only a time lag.

Could it be that Cecilia is also capable of using monsters?
It is not at all unlikely. .......

The two of them looked down into the underground space from the tunnel exit and seemed to be talking about something.
I couldn't hear what they were talking about.

After a while, they became aware of our presence.
Glenn comes shouting at us.

'Hey, sorcerer! Are we in a worm's nest? You seem to have a lot of luck, arriving here at the same time as me.

'...... luck? Luck? ......?

...... No way.

They're not ......, they're...
They've arrived here at this time with nothing but their own luck?

That's impossible.
No, it's not impossible.
It's not impossible that's why he's here.
It's possible if you're lucky enough to roll three dice and get all sixes.

I want to cluck my tongue.
How can there be a being who defies reason, calculation, and luck alone?

But at the same time, I feel relieved.
I'm glad I'm not playing a game of pure luck against that thing.

I feel my mouth lift up.
I raise my voice to Glenn and say something back.

'No, this is not luck, this is inevitability. And it's not exactly the same timing. Satsuki!

'Oh... You called me, Will?

The mortar-shaped bottom of the underground space.
The twenty or so remaining rockworm larvae were gathering at the entrance to one of the large tunnels, when the one at the head of the group flipped over onto its back.

Then, a girl in a kimono and hakama, carrying a sword, walks out of the tunnel.

The giant larva must have been turned over by her kicking it away.
In addition to the power of her aura, she was also under the influence of a physical burst, which was quite possible for her now.

Satsuki looked up at me once, and when she saw Glenn, she called out to him.

'Oh, I thought I heard a familiar voice, but it's you. You're one step too late. I've already defeated the master of the Rockworm.

As Satsuki said this, he moved gently and swung his sword in a casual gesture.
I'm not sure what to make of that.

...... It's almost as if she doesn't see the enemy anymore.
It's a very human action, as if the action was inputted beforehand.

On the other hand, when Glenn saw the Satsuki, he suddenly had an excited beastly expression on his face.

'What is it? While I didn't look at her for a while, she's become quite interesting, isn't she? T m, Cecilia, it's a buff. I just need a hasten.

'...... I understand.'

Cecilia furrows her brow in displeasure as she casts a spell.

When I saw that, I felt threatened.
Thinking of a spell to interfere, I raise my voice.

'Hey, what are you doing?

'Don't panic. I'm not going to slash with a woman. I just wanted to dance with her!

As soon as Cecilia's Haste spell took effect, Glenn ran out of the tunnel and raced down the underground space.

Fast.
His agility was enhanced by the Haste spell, and he ran at a speed that made it hard to believe that he was wearing armor.
His appearance is like that of a large black panther.



Glenn quickly jumped into the swarm of rockworm larvae and began to wield his greatsword like a fish out of water.
Then he and Satsuki began to compete with each other, slashing down the giant larvae.

I was relieved when I saw that.
Since that man said so, he wouldn't be directly connected to Satsuki.
It seems to me that he wouldn't tell such a silly lie.

On the other hand, when I looked at Cecilia, she was sighing heavily.
Then she glanced at me and said something like this.

'...... Can you please stop taking away people's loved ones? I'm going to go crazy with jealousy if I have to see you get more excited than when you're with me.

'That's what you're telling me. I'd rather you didn't let the beast run free. Can you put a collar on it and keep it on a leash?'

'Don't be absurd. It's all I can do to keep it.'

'...... I see. That's the way it is.

I was reminded once again that there are many kinds of human beings in the world.
