Chapter 5 Initial Mission
It's been a while since the day I came to Julita, and gradually, I've gotten used to the life of their group. To sum it up-
Eat, sleep, see the sick, fight monsters.
"Wait! Is it okay to be so laid-back?! "I couldn't help it, but luckily I realized in time that I seemed to be falling.
"What's not to do?" Bogies smiled, and rolled around the desk, yes, it was a roll, it really rolled, but it was immediately punched in the stomach by Sway.
Ah, what love, Bogies and Sway...... No, no, no, now shouldn't be the time to think about that, right?!
"Does MRI want a more interesting life?" Whit hugged the medical record and said, "Uh-huh, it's not that I can't understand, hey Bog, why don't you give Mri some simple errands?" β
"Wellβthat's right," Bogies lay down on his desk again, his hands just within reach of the desk drawer. He rolled over and took out a small cloth bag from a drawer and threw it to me.
"What is this?" I couldn't help but ask. I squeezed the small cloth bag a little harder, and there was a "click" sound inside.
"Is it the candy wrapper I've eaten, can you help me take out the trashM-"
I didn't want to hear what the other party had to say, so I threw the little cloth bag in Bogies' face, with a cold .jpg.
"It can't be helped," Rera said with a sip of tea, "Mri doesn't have the ability to fight Coronach, so it's understandable that Bogies won't give you quests." β
Hearing Rera's words, my heart was inexplicably unhappy, as if my ability had been completely denied, and I tried to restrain it, and said loudly, "Let me go!" I'mβ"
Don't open your mouth.
Don't open your mouth.
There was a voice in my head calling to me, and my mouth was open and I couldn't continue. Rera looked at me and whispered, "But...... We've always been working as a team, right? β
"yes." Bogies nodded, and Rera continued, "Then let her team up with a person, it should also be a learning experience, but if you just deal with simple mobs, you can do it alone." β
"That's right." Bogies smiled approvingly, then raised his hand and pointed at Gerria without hesitation, "Ger! Come and accompany our lovely newcomers on a mission? β
"Huh? Why meββ! Wait, I'm not going! Gerria almost jumped, "No! I'm going to play a barrage game at home! I'm going to be able to clear the game in the right moment, don't-"
"I don't listen, I don't listenβ" shouted Bogies, clutching his ears, "latelyβthere's a street on the east side of City Z that is very restless!" Ger, go take care of it! Ah, and Mri together! β
Gerria seemed to compromise slightly, but I could tell there was a million reluctance in her expression. She walked over to Bogies' desk and kicked it violently, saying, "Huh? Bog, if you're going to let me go with this guy, I'm going to force you to marry me right now! β
As expected, Bogies fell silent.
Sway was smiling and I didn't know how painful it was, and I could even see his body trembling slightly.
"Ger, didn't you make an appointment with Bog until you get back in shape?" Sway covered his mouth and said, "Ahh β
I looked around the hall, and I couldn't see Rubby. Erra took a faint sip of tea and replied, "Probably...... You're going to LoveHotel again, right? β
What? Wait, is Rubby such a frivolous person?! I couldn't help but be a little surprised, then looked at Sway and said helplessly, "Then, no way, Gerria, you can only accompany Mri." If you stay at home like this, you can't find your body, right? β
The last sentence seemed to convince Gerria, who hesitated for a moment and then stared straight at me.
"Hey, hurry up, let's go."
What. Wait, is that so casual?!
ββββββββ
β¦β¦ That's why I'm here now, Remnant.
"Hey Mri, what are you doing?" Gerria kicked me suddenly, and I jerked to Gerria as I was reminded of the pain, only to see a black mist coming towards me.
Finished! I'm going to be hit ......!
The moment I realized it, I took a step backwards and rolled sideways to the right, avoiding the black fog like a bullet. I got up from the ground and looked around, but I didn't see Gerria.
What to do? What's going on? I began to gather my thoughts and observe the situation around me.
There was an enemy in front of him, Black Mist, about 50 meters in the direction of about one o'clock, ready to strike again. Surrounded by the countryside, there is no one around. I was with Gerria to the east of Z, which is still undeveloped, so it's not surprising.
And then what? And then...... I forced myself to organize my thoughts because I had been immersed in my own world for too long.
Found, the first Coronach!
The moment I sorted out the current situation, the black fog also attacked me at the same time, and I had to flee in all directions without any special abilities, but I knew that this would not work. I reached for the small dagger at my waist, gripped it tightly, and ran towards the black mist.
The dagger was given by Whit, and before leaving Julita, he was told that ordinary weapons could hurt Coronach, as long as he found his vital point.
Key? I watched the black mist as I ran, and since it was a cloud of mist, I couldn't find the entity. The black mist suddenly sped up and ran towards me, and I instinctively crouched down, and with the forward force of the run, I slashed downward, and as I passed underneath the black mist, I saw a white bright spot.
Is that the point! With that in mind, I pulled out my dagger, followed the direction it was going, stabbed it hard at the white spot, and then slashed its body open.
There was no sound, and the black fog dissipated behind me.
"Good job," Gerria clapped her hands, "Congratulations, butβisn't that enough?" β
Huh? What do you mean? I looked at Gerria with some confusion, and she smiled like a cunning rabbit before pointing behind me.
I turned away, my mouth wide open.
A huge black python was standing right behind me!
"What you just broke is just its 'child', and I have worked so hard to clean up this group of 'children' that I don't have time to worry about you," Gerria said, "but your performance is quite unexpected, so let's look at this python, it looks like it is the 'body'!" β
"Boom...... Ha! Ha...... District! District! Hey, hey, hey, human? "The python spoke in a strange voice, like a multi-band chorus, and it was hard to hear what it was saying.
"Just humans?" Gerria's eyes narrowed, "What a face, LittleBug?" (Little bug)"
"Whew...... Huhuhu let you! All! Become...... Hey, hey, hey, my ...... Child's! Food! The python curled up backwards, but we both knew it was her preparation to attack us.
It's coming!
Gerria beckoned me to back off. I did as she was told, and the latter looked at me, smiled, and said, "Don't blame me for being injured by mistake for a while." β
What? Sister, don't you attack me or the enemy!
As I sighed, Gerria's tiny body was slowly rising into the sky. She leaned back slightly, and countless points of light appeared around her, swirling around the petite body.
The python watched Gerria, but it didn't seem to be patient or strategic, and it rushed straight at the center of the point of light. Gerria raised her right hand and swung it at the python's head.
"Light Talisman! Ice! She shouted these words, only to see that at the same time, the python's head was also beaten by the light spots.
This is......! I couldn't help but sigh at how much power Gerria had in her tiny body. Gerria didn't even look at me and shouted, "Hey, Mri! Do you know bullet hell games? β
"Yes!" I shouted back, I didn't know what she was trying to do, but when she said it, what she had just fired was a barrage or something.
"Hmm...... That's easy to say! Gerria spun around in the air, and countless colorful pentagrams appeared around her, "This guy's weakness doesn't seem to be on his head...... It's a shame, but it's okay to smash it all over! Hey Mri Do you know what is most needed for the barrage of the barrage game! β
I thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm...... Gorgeous and ...... Difficulty? And most importantly, gorgeous, right? β
The black python had recovered its head as we had spoken, and it shook where it had been reborn, and then struck Gerria again.
"That's right!" Gerria raised her right hand, and the stars around her rose along with her movements, "The most important thing for a barrage game is the gorgeousness of the barrage!" There is a gorgeous barrage, and that is the foundation of a good barrage game! Gorgeous! High difficulty! But it also allows players to clear the level! This is the barrage game! β
The python twisted its body, charging up on the ground and slamming towards Gerria. The latter did not hurry, waved his right hand, and the stars also fell on the python's body like raindrops.
There is not a single void!
"Bullet hell is a game after all, and I like it," Gerria slowly landed on the ground, "but it's not a game, and you don't need to get players through it." β
As the Gerria tail fell, the black python shattered before my eyes.
