Chapter 12
Chapter 12. First Party Action (5)
Kodachi-san and I continued our dive on the second floor.
The process was going well, as there were only two seeker-seekers.
After the first single goblin, we encountered a formation of two goblins.
Kodachi-san joined me in defeating them one by one.
Kodachi-san could kill not only the kobolds but also the goblins in a single move.
Kodachi-san, with her dagger [Dual Wield], is so strong.
On the other hand, I was hit by one goblin attack before I could destroy the goblin in my charge.
I was stabbed deeply in my right thigh. And my HP decreased by 8 points. Ouch.
After using [Earth Heal], I recovered fully, but I was a little frustrated because I felt like I could see the difference in strength between Kodachi-san and me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNext, we encountered three kobolds.
Kodachi-san quickly defeated one of them, and the rest of the time I was watching to see how I would fare against the remaining two kobolds.
In this battle, I got hit by one of the kobolds.
The blow to my abdomen reduced my HP by 7 points. It still hurt.
When I was hit by Kobold’s attack before, it was 4 points of damage, but does the damage depend on where you got hit?
.
I am not sure.
I recovered with [Earth Heal], and my HP was fully restored.
On the other hand, my MP was down to (16/24).
Perhaps because I had taken a lunch break, it had recovered to its maximum value when I started our dive in the afternoon, but it decreased now.
Incidentally, when I mentioned that Kodachi-san was surprisingly spartan, she flinched and said, “I thought it would be bad if I took away your experience, so I kept my support to a minimum… Sorry.”
In addition, with a sultry upward glance, she said, “…… Musou-san, are you a bully, surprisingly?” My heart ached with a pang as she said that.
My sanity was dying.
“Kodachi-san is only a business partner.”, I chanted in my mind like a Buddhist prayer.
The horny boy in me is too loud.
And Kodachi-san is too unaware of that (?). Too much of a little devil.
Then, after diving into the second floor, We found our 4th encounter.
What appeared was a large monster I had never seen before.
Kobolds and goblins are as small as human children, but this one was like a well-trained adult fighter.
Kodachi-san held up her two daggers, looked at the hobgoblin, and said.
“It is a hobgoblin. I’ll damage it, so please finish it off, Musou-san. I’m sorry if I knocked him down by mistake.”
Kodachi-san lowered herself and kicked the ground, heading toward the hobgoblin with the same terrifying agility as before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe hobgoblin was holding a medium-sized one-handed sword.
He swung it with violent force, but Kodachi-san agilely dodged the attack and dived into his opponent’s pocket.
“───Haah!”
With a dignified and spirited voice, she attacked continuously with her left and right daggers.
The hobgoblin is sharply sliced open by two slashes.
“Musou-san!”
“Understand!”
I stepped in as Kodachi-san quickly jumped back and I struck with my spear.
The hobgoblin tried to evade, but it was too late, and my spear pierced its abdomen.
That seemed to be the end.
The hobgoblin turned into a black mist and disappeared.
“Oh, we got a [Treasure Chest]. Lucky?”
Kodachi-san’s voice danced.
In the place where the defeated hobgoblin had been, in addition to a slightly larger magic stone, a [Treasure Chest] had appeared.
