Chapter 153 – Visitors From Another Dimension (7)
“Cow, lights out?”
Lalilura is surprised by what she said. I don’t think I could have imagined that the words just now would come out of my mouth.
Selena replied as if she was natural.
“Sure. This world is a world without light! Bugs who live out of the light of the gods flock to them when they see the light. This is what we experienced with our bodies.”
“Is that so? All right.”
Larry Lura couldn’t refute her logical reasoning at all.
I think it would be difficult if it was dark during the night watch, but you can’t let the insects get entangled like setting off a beacon. Just like moths are attracted to street lamps, you can scavenge when the baby bugs come in droves.
“The place we were at was near the sea, so it must have been okay.”
“Yes, yes… It was fortunate.”
Saying that, you don’t have a happy face. I patted Ralilura on the back. Let’s hope that you will endure it for one night.
“It can be cold, so if you have a cape, split it up. Give Mr. Nord one too.”
“Here, take mine.”
“Thank you.”
The muscular old man gave me a cape, so I took it.
She secretly sniffed it, but it didn’t bother her. She was embarrassed because she felt like she had been given someone else’s clothes, but it was an idiot to refuse here.
─Chik.
Lalilura, who turned off the lantern, hesitated and looked at me. If she slept under this blanket, her body would be pressed against it. I brushed off her hands and held out the cloak to Lari Lura.
“You cover yourself. I’m fine because I have a lot of heat in my body.”
“… Ha. Stop talking stupid and lie down.”
-Wack! Lalilura snatched the cloak and pressed my head. It seemed to mean to lie down quickly, so I laid down on the floor and covered the mantle called Rariru and pressed it against my back.
─Soft and soft.
‘Hmm.’
No matter how big this guy was, I couldn’t stay calm because his big breasts were directly touching my body. It seems more like that because I can’t see my face.
“No, yumma. Because it’s okay.”
“What is okay? At best, a cute junior like me is gathering courage, but are you thinking of rejecting it? I hope you don’t embarrass others.”
“… Are you scared?”
“… Ah, you, you, you? You’re looking after me because you’re a senior, right?”
– Kwok. Lari Lura, who buried her face in her back, tried unsuccessfully to pinch her flesh on my side.
“Regret. Unlike you, I don’t have any flab on my side.”
“Under? I don’t have one either? What is it? The remark that has a lot of nuances, such as ‘Of course you have gained weight, but I am trying to maintain this figure~’? Aren’t you so arrogant?”
“Uh huh. Be quiet and sleep It interferes with other people’s sleep.”
“… Huh. Good night or not.”
─Kong-Kong-Kong. Larry Lura was calming down as she fell asleep as I hit her forehead on the bone of my wing. Seeing that she fell asleep quickly, she must have been exhausted.
Starting with the exploration of the ruins, today was a fucking forced march. Because I walked almost all day.
‘I’m a bit tired too.’
As the tension eased, my eyelids grew heavy.
I went to sleep nervously so that I could deal with the bugs whenever they attacked.
***
How many hours did you sleep I suddenly woke up and frowned.
When I woke up, I was prepared to see the faces of the bugs in front of my eyes, but what I saw reflected in my eyes, which had grown accustomed to the darkness, was a pink head.
“… ZZZ.”
It’s lari lura While sleeping, both he and I must have changed postures, and Rari Lura, who rode on top of me, curled up like a cat. This is the so-called posture of baking bread.
“Grunt.”
I thought I had woken up in the middle of the night, but then it disappeared. I don’t know how many hours I’ve slept because it’s dark and humid, befitting a different world teeming with fuckin’ bugs.
I just rolled my eyes and looked around.
─Rubble rustle.
Luckily, while I was sleeping, everyone else wasn’t behind.
Several of the explorers were getting up and moving around. I also saw the butler waking Selena up. I must have woken up when I heard this sound.
“Ugh…”
Is it because I turned my head? Lalilura climbed on top of me, covered with a cloak, rubbing her eyes and waking up.
“… Huh?”
Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Lalilura found me on my boat.
Lari Lura, who sees my face with dreamy eyes, seeing the parts of her body that are in close contact with each other.
I waved her hand roughly in front of her face, thinking that I should put this guy down before my morning erection started.
“… Oh.”
Lalilura turned on after a minute and murmured while avoiding my face.
“It wasn’t on purpose, was it? Is it because you fell asleep because your stomach was warm? Do you have trouble mistaking it? I’m not a bad boy who frivolously rides on top of a man named Lariru!”
“Okay, come down. It’s not heavy, but her head is pounding.”
“Ah… Ugh, sorry.”
“It wasn’t because of you. Just like you said, it’s nice to have a warm body.”
Maybe the floor was hard, so I couldn’t sleep well.
I held back a yawn and got up to stretch. I wonder if there was an attack while I was sleeping, and the other people looked tired, but they didn’t feel sleepy.
“Six hours of sleep. That’s enough. Let’s eat and leave.”
Said Selena, her hair tousled, and distributed her rations. This time, it was an amount that only supplied the minimum amount of energy.
‘I’ll forget being hungry while walking.’
I thought so and ate it, but it was damn hard to concentrate when I was hungry. I understand why office workers gain weight in the 21st century.
While walking in the forest, avoiding battles and searching for mana in the summoning circle, the thought of being hungry did not go away from my head.
“—Eh?”
It was when I was descending south after spending an hour or two like that.
─Peeing!
Suddenly, it feels like a hair on the back of the head has been pulled!
My inspiration, which had been buffed by mana and rune magic, was to discover mana that was not suitable for this queer space. I calmed down with reassurance and cheers.
“Miss Selena. I found it.”
“Are you a summoner? Where are you?”
The answer was almost zero seconds. Maybe he was just waiting for my words.
“It’s northwest of here. Probably two or three hundred meters.”
Up to 300 meters!
That was the limit of my sensing distance.
Recognizing a presence 300 meters away sounds like a fucking great feeling, but if you think about the five senses of wild animals, nothing great. There is nothing here that hinders my inspiration.
“It’s close. It’s better to send a scouting party though. Everyone? Did you hear? They say they found the summoning circle’s mana.”
“Ha, that’s good. I’m relieved that I found it in one night.”
“I can go back now.”
The investigators’ complexions lightened at Selena’s words. Even if the place was a safe place, there was an atmosphere that would cheer three cheers.
“Don’t relax. This is just the beginning. Strahm, Byos. I’ll entrust you with reconnaissance. Can you do it?”
“Yes.”
“Sure.”
Selena, who set her mood with the charisma of the party leader, picked up two men who looked like thieves.
“Lalilula.”
I winked at Lalilura. Then, instead of answering, she let out a sigh as if she couldn’t help it. I meant to go.
“I’ll be back, so take care of yourself.”
“I don’t know who is telling whom to watch out for. Are you really careful? If senpai doesn’t come back, I’m going to stay here and die, right?”
“What. Even if I run away, you’ll have to go back and be scolded by Fran and Dana.”
“Aha♡? Are you saying you want to die because you hate that?”
Dude, you’re good at avoiding responsibility. He has the qualities of a fucking 21st century earthling.
“I’m just going to scout, so what? Wait patiently.”
“Yes.”
I go to Selena while listening to the answer that drains my energy.
As I got closer, Selena twisted her head in a corner.
“Mister Nord. What are you doing?”
Are you planning to join the reconnaissance? It was a look of surprise and doubt.
After all, I was not suited to clandestine activities. It’s not full body armor, but he wears armor and even carries a spear! Damn I totally agree with that opinion.
So I asked.
“Do you have anything left?”
“A mask? 〈 Telephoto 〉 There are masks with magic…”
In response to my question, Selena, who had been given a telescope-like mask, blurted out her words as if asking why she was looking for this.
But I was also a bit disappointed with the shape of the mask. The mask Selena brought was a fucking butterfly mask.
‘Wouldn’t it be like a bitch if I used this, as I’m a muscular person?’
A biased image of a gay man with a long mustache, swaying waist, and oh-much-ho-i fucking trussap hurro passed through her head.
‘Fuck, what can I do? Is it time to cover the cold rice with the hot rice?’
What would he do if he only listened to the reconnaissance that others had visited and then moved and then stopped! In order to protect his life, he didn’t care about cosplaying as a queer festival participant.
… No sorry it’s gourd
It wasn’t anything, but I was patient.
─Swipe.
─Whiririk!
The reverse ᚲ (Kenaz) rune exerted a stealth effect. I was wondering what to do if they don’t treat me as a mask because it’s a mask for missing subordinates, but they seem to give me a butterfly mask as well.
“Is that rune magic too!”
Selena asked with her mouth open. It was surprising to see that he turned magic from detection to stealth just because he wrote some fucking letters like ᚲ.
“Yes. It helps with stealth. If it doesn’t get in the way, I’ll go with the reconnaissance team.”
“Disruption! I would like to ask you from my side too. When a fight breaks out, the bandits have no choice but to retreat.”
She was the Selena who said it like she would have screamed at the top of her voice if it weren’t for the place.
When a battle breaks out, the bandits die and conversely, their location may be discovered and ambushed. He must have thought that there would be nothing wrong with me joining the reconnaissance team.
Permission was granted, so I put on my mask and finished my preparations.
“I look forward to.”
“We are.”
I briefly greeted the two thieves and moved to a place where I could feel the summoning circle’s mana.
─Shasha shak.
The thieves made almost no footsteps like a professional. No, is it because there is very little grass in this forest? Anyway, it was good for sleeping.
Me pointing the direction with hand gestures. Thieves following them. The distance of 300 meters was awkward and long, like a one-month-old stool of a constipated patient.
But everything has an end.
─Suck.
We found what looked like a wormhole and stopped.
The expression worm’s nest was really appropriate. Those creepy rocky mountains and the holes that made it possible for people to bury were definitely the home of giant walking bugs.
‘Fuck.’
The summoning circle was in the center of the worm den.
So did you curse inside? No, it’s not. It’s a national rule that there is a dungeon exit in the boss room, so there’s nothing weird about it.
The reason why I chanted “Fuck the fuck” Was because of something else happening in front of the summoning circle.
“KKK! KKRkkkk!!”
The big bug that brought me and Lalilura here! All of a sudden, the bastard was doing something like an offering ceremony at the place where the summoning team was.
It was fucking funny that humanoid bug-like people were going through the ceremony, but there seemed to be no error in the wording of the offering ceremony.
It was because there were bodies of adventurers seen in the ruins in the grass that looked like an altar.
And they were all dead with their heads eaten off.
‘Whoops.’
Suddenly, I remembered what Fran had said while searching.
Did I mention that the screeching bastard was chewing on something? These fuckin bugs are not even a crow cart, they eat one bite at a time and offer the rest as a sacrifice.
“K, KK——K!”
Endless racist cries! The giant worm performed the ritual alone, flapping its wings.
At that time, a giant insect tore the adventurer’s corpse and threw it into the summoning circle. It looked like a fucking snuff movie, but the summoning circle lit up and transferred the corpse. This is important information.
Should I just climb up? Glad then Well, if it was a difficult method, even the bugs wouldn’t be able to apply it.
‘Are there any other guys?’
For now, there was only that giant bug around the summoning circle. It seems to be a way for the CEO to hold the ceremony by flapping his wings alone.
Of course, I don’t care about the ancestral rites of the bugs.
But the bastard couldn’t be bothered with the object of her ritual. I carefully looked at the altar where the bodies of the adventurers were sacrificed, then opened my eyes wide.
‘A stone statue?’
It was a stone statue that looked like a crouching caterpillar.
So, for a moment, I thought that that was the real boss, and that the bug priest bastard was the middle boss.
No matter how you look at it, it was not a sealed monster, but a stone statue made of natural weathering.
It was just that he couldn’t feel mana and his appearance was clumsy. Although it is a strange feeling to call it weathering in a different world where there is no wind.
‘Is that the primitive religion of those bastards?’
What if invaders from the age of ancient civilization appeared in that summoning ring in the past, and the worms that remembered it spread their culture?
Then there would be a culture of worshiping that summoning circle and the rock statue next to it. Since Homo sapiens deified lightning, it would not be strange for Homo hairy crabs to deify the magic circle that summons creatures from the other world.
─Such.
─Swipe.
We exchanged retreat signs and retreated. This was a difficult subjugation that required discussion by anyone.
Selena let out a short moan as she returned to where she was and hit her report.
“It’s a nest where monsters from the other world live. Mr. Nord, do you think you can get rid of it?”
“I want to set fire to it, but the magic circle can be destroyed and there is no way to properly light it.”
I answered while thinking about the operation.
There must have been other summoning circles besides this one. The bugs that appeared on the 1st to 4th floors of the tower must have been summoned from various places in the other world!
‘But I know where the fuck it is and find it.’
We probably got here on a summons from somewhere on the 4th floor.
Selena’s party was taken by mistake, and me and that bastard named Lariru.
‘That’s the only magic circle linked to the summoning circle we used.’
There is a high possibility that the other summoning circles were installed far away, at a distance of about Britannia-Azteca. To summon a lot of bug monsters, it’s efficient to keep a distance between the summoning circles.
So if we didn’t break through that worm hole, we might starve.
“A head-on breakthrough is impossible. If you can’t use magic, you can’t win the quantity war. A strategy with low odds and no merit would not be good.”
“Do you have any good ideas?”
“Actually, I have no choice. I don’t know if Selena-san’s party has items that are good for this kind of thing.”
“There is no such convenient item. Even magic items work little by little and then stop.”
“After. So what…”
Selena and I exchanged opinions as party representatives and asked for other people’s opinions, but there was no point.
The brief meeting ended meaninglessly like a group assignment. I learned with my own body that the answer to everything is that the first conclusion is the best. Lehu didn’t want to know this fact.
“I can’t help it. Let’s go by the shortcut.”
“What if it’s an expedient?”
“We did not come to defeat monsters. If you climb to the top of the summoning circle, you win. They’re chasing them, so you can take them down later.”
Like an AV actress who has to recite the most embarrassing line in the fucking world, I said it with a shit-chewed expression.
“Everyone? Do you like sprinting?”
