445 Episode 0445



A huge spider monster over 4m in length It is a monster with its size and protective color that melts into the surrounding landscape of rock deserts, waiting for its prey to approach while mimicking rocks, and having the annoying ability and nature to launch attacks as soon as it enters the range of attack, the rock spider was now lying dead in front of the lays.
 Ray approaches the rock spider with a mislyl knife.
 As you can see from the imitation of a rock, the skin of a rock spider is quite stiff, if not as hard as a real rock. That's why Ray's knife, which he always uses to strip the material, won't work.
 Of course, if you just peel off the material of a rock spider, you will be able to peel off the skin that can be used as a protective tool or the foot that can be used as a weapon.
 In this case, however, Ray's share is limited to magical stones. Therefore, I didn't intend to go out of my way to help the adventurers claim ownership of the Iwagumo and demand reparations even though they had saved their lives.
 A magical misril knife cuts through the hard skin of a rock spider, takes out the heart, and pours out the magical stone.
 On the surface, you'll notice that the rock spider is almost intact except for the one attached to the set.
 For Ray, who is not good at ripping off materials, it could not have been better.

`Whoa,'

 Taking out only the heart and the pomegranate better than he expected, Ray takes a breath of relief and takes a flowing dagger out of the mistling to wash his hands and the pomegranate.
 Looking at Ray taking out a flowing dagger from an empty space, the man picking up the sword blown away by the rock spider and the man holding the spear are staring at him in amazement, and as if it were troublesome to get involved in it, he wipes the washed magical stone cleanly with a cloth and stores it in the mistling.

"Now, as promised, we got our share. Do as you please for the rest."

(I wish I could bring it home.)

 mutter inwardly, and look at the body lying on the ground.
 There is also a body of a porter, and without it, two adventurers naturally have to carry the material of a 4m-long rock spider outside the dungeon.
 Of course, if you push yourself too hard, you'll be able to hold it. But then there was no doubt that he would be late when attacked by monsters.

(It's a shame that the materials and the parts to prove the subjugation... I got at least the magical stones I wanted, and I don't want Seto to eat spiders for meat.)

 Ray thought so, but Seto probably wanted to taste the rock spider. He looks at the two adventurers with a somewhat grumpy air.

"Elena, are you leaving now?" There's no time left. I'd like to find the stairs and get to the ground."
"Well, I honestly don't want to breathe in the same air as people who want to make a profit by degrading their dignity."

 It's neither hatred nor hatred, nor pity, nor, of course, any friendly gaze.
 He muttered in a tone of no emotion, turning his gaze upon the spear adventurer, as if he were looking at a stone falling there, or even not looking at the other person as a living thing.

"Oh! You insulted me! Demand an apology!"

 The spearman, who understands what he is saying, says so, but Elena turns to Ray, who nods and turns her back on them, thinking it's troublesome to get involved already.
 But...

"Wait! Are you going to leave us here? If you've saved us, take responsibility and take us to a safe place!"

 He turned around with a wry smile when he heard the voice on his back again.

"Did you save me? Did we steal your prey? But why are you supposed to save me? Don't you even remember what you said a little while ago?"
"That's it, that's it,"

 He laughs with his nose when he can't keep company with a spearman who mutters unabashedly, and tries to leave with Elena.
 But the words that are thrown back there.

"Don't you have the kindness to bring these bodies to earth!? Leave them here and they'll be preyed on by monsters!"

 The next thing the spearman looked at was three bodies lying on the ground. I was having a stray party with him.

"Do you have an item box? Then you should be able to take this body with you."
"... I see,"

 It's not unusual for an adventurer to die in a dungeon. However, this is why the guild recommends that the body be taken home if possible.
 This is not just out of sentimentality. This is because adventurers who die in dungeons can be undead and shed their tusks in some places.
 However, it was true that it was neither a fixed party nor a rare case to bring back a corpse.
 A stray party is just a temporary cooperation to make money. Nevertheless, those who go out of their way to bring back a corpse that can be used as a burden, unless they are too loyal, will be left as it is at its worst…there will be a lot of mementos even if they bring it home.
 If you bring the guild card of the dead person to the guild, you can get a few copper coins as a reward, but it's much more expensive to bring back the monster's material, proof of subjugation, and magical stones than that.

(I don't think he's so loyal to me.)

 It's not that hard to predict what the spearman is thinking, though he thinks so privately.
 It would be the same for Elena as well as Ray.
 the weapons and baggage of a corpse There is not enough to carry them here, no matter how you look at them. That's probably why he used his adventurous duty as a shield to press Ray.
 There are porters, especially among them. The body's backpack must contain the materials it has collected so far.

"Why? We can't bring three dead bodies back to the ground, but if you have an item box, you can't afford it?"
"…I'd like to ask you a question." Do you want me to carry the corpse because I want to have the equipment and tools which it has?"

 Getting tired of further interaction, Ray asks the man with the spear directly.
 However, since that was the case, the face of a man with a spear turns red with anger, impatience, or, if any, shame.

"Oh, don't be silly! I just want to bring the body back to earth in the style of adventurers! Are you going to decide that I'm going to take away the valuable things that the dead have! I'm going to demand an apology.
"...that is, if you bring this corpse to earth, you have no intention of taking any of the equipment or tools which it has?"
「……」

 He must have hated being taken in by Ray's words. The spearman decides silence.  
 That attitude was a clear indication of what he was aiming for.

"All right, I'll keep an eye on him." So, can't you ask me about the dead body? Even though it's a wild party, I can't bear to see that the dead body of the party is abandoned in the dungeon."

 You must have thought it would be impossible to settle the matter at this rate. A man with a sword calls out to Ray so.

"Glu".

 Even if Seto thinks it's better to go ahead than just keep talking here, he looks at Ray and chants.
 With Sett's attitude, Ray breaks down and breathes a small sigh to store the dead body on the ground in the mistling.
 When Ray sees it, the spearman smiles, but decides that the more he gets involved, the more unpleasant he gets involved in it, he tries to move on by giving Elena and Sett a signal with his eyes, and an unpleasant voice is thrown at his back again.

"Wait! What are you going to do with the guards until we strip them off?"
"Do you know? Why do we have to take care of them so much? Do as you please over there."

 Shortly retorted to the spearman, Ray, along with Elena and Sett, heads for the steps on the map.
 Seeing off his back, the spearman steps on his clogs with his face red as if he were on fire with anger."Don't be silly! If you've given us a helping hand, we've got to take care of him till the end! But he'll... d*mn it! I'll spread it around and isolate him when I get back to the ground!"
"Don't do that,"

 The swordman, who had been silent in listening to the spearman's words, said so.

"Why! He protects us to the very end..."
"It's unsightly. You didn't get rescued in the first place, but you insisted that you had been robbed of a rock spider. Then it would be too presumptuous to ask for a bodyguard. Instead of isolating crimson, you will be isolated from others."
"What do you say! It was because I negotiated with him that he never took all the materials of the rock spider!"
"I didn't care if I did all the material, because my life was saved. ...how, in the main, would you like to bring home the materials?"

 A swordman tells the dead body of a rock spider.
 Iwagumo, a huge monster over 4m in length, has a relatively large and heavy material. As for the skin that can be used as armor, it is bigger than humans because it naturally covers the entire body of a rock spider. It was easy for a swordman to imagine how much the weight would be.

"That's why! If you use his item box..."
"Oh, that's enough. Do as you please. It was my fault to have a party with someone like you. I'll give you all the material, too. for my life is dear to me.

 He looked dumbfounded as he told the spearman, and then left the scene with his sword in the sheath.
 It's not the direction you've come from... it's the direction you've come from. They run away from the body of a rock spider and the man of a spear, as if to follow them.
 The spearman, who saw him back, kicks the ground with his foot and exudes irritation.

"d*mn it, what are you thinking about deciding whether I'm grateful or not for negotiating with you and getting you a rock spider?" If he gets out of the dungeon, he'll have to get compensation. ... First of all, we'll peel the material off the rock spider. If you had an item box, you could take it with you, but you didn't listen to me and just left."

 Perhaps he didn't like Ray's refusal to hear his opinion, but he tried to take a knife from his waist, a spare weapon, and stab him in the end...
 There's a metallic snap and the tip of the knife bounces back.
 No, the tip wasn't just bounced back. If you look closely, the tip of the knife was missing about 1 cm, and it was very useless.

"d*mn it, I'm really unlucky today. I have to team up with an adventurer who can't use it, who doesn't listen to me at all, and then looks down on me. Furthermore, the only one who survived will leave me coldly."

 In a fit of irritation, he kicks the body of a rock spider, but the next moment he realizes how hard its skin is by the intense pain that runs to his feet.
 Still, the material that could be stripped off from the rock spider in front of him was something the guild would take over at a reasonable price, and the spearman could not give up.

"I can't help it. I wish I could have done something with a knife."

 While exhaling, they disassemble the rock spider with spears.
 It may have been due in some places to the skin being torn by Seto's attack, but unlike knives, it is a weapon used in battle, and the tip of the spear does not interfere with cutting the skin of a rock spider, even though it feels a little resistance.
 Although Ray knew it, he only cut off the smallest part necessary to remove the magical stone.
 For about 20 minutes, he frantically peeled off the skin of a rock spider with the tip of a spear, but after half of the skin was peeled off, he immediately jumped aside with the spear he had.
 Only adventurers could come down to the 12th basement in this neighborhood. But that's it.

"Why so much!"

 Behind is a giant spider with rocky grey skin. a rock spider
 The size itself is slightly smaller than that of a set, but it is still nearly twice the size of a spearman.

"Oh, my gosh, oh my gosh!"

 It is not known whether he is conscious of being the enemy of his comrades, but the Iwagumo still attacks the spearman.

"d*mn it! What's going on... Hey, somebody help me! Hey, hey! If I die, it's going to be a huge loss to Egidil. Hey, somebody... can't somebody help me."Oops!"

 While screaming, no one seemed to come to his rescue... the man with the spear would die the most cruel death of a human being, being eaten alive by a rock spider as a reward for his foolish behavior.
