「Wha-Wha-What shall we do—」
For so reason, I ended up as the only one who worried to no end.
「Hey, this sword looks nice, doesn't it?」
「Wuoo, it’s almost got no rust on its surface at all!」
「Fuuudgee, there's really no magic cane at aaaaall.」
「T-The hell are ya doi–Wooo, the heck, this is a good ol' sword.」
「Geh, Yamada!」
「Just right when I need one, the one I've before almost wasted after the previous battle after all.」
「Wait a fudging minutes, I'm the one who found this sword first, rather, my weapon is already useless!」
Currently, behind , the Totem Pole Trio and Lolicon-kun [Yamada] were making a ruckus regarding the ownership of the sword they found from amongst the defeated Goma's troops.
「Haa … I've enough of this walnut.」
「Well, we've no choice but to eat it anyway, I an that's our only source of energy to keep moving.」
「U~h.」
「Do your best, Ayase-san, think of it as dicine that’s good for your body.」
On the other side, we got Yamajun who was busy with babysitting that bitch Reina A Ayase who was sulking.
It's not even an hour since I had officially beco the party mber, but my heart was already tired and wanted to retire. Fine guys, have it your way, I don't even care if this group got annihilated by Goma.
「Nonono, don't run away from reality, , face it and solve it…」
No matter how horrible this group was, it's still too early for to escape from the reality of the situation. Yes, it's still too early to give up on them.
I an it's basically impossible for to capture the Goma's tower by myself, no matter how ticulous my preparation. Our only choice was to breakthrough from the front.
「What should I do now … Strengthening this tower's defense first or … Reviving Rems first.」
We've to prepare ourselves for counterattack before we can raid their tower. Honestly speaking, our best choice to strengthen this tower defense was by raising our level and transforming this tower into a fortress. These two plans were our most viable solution.
「For our tower defense, we have a swordsman, a warrior, a heavy warrior, a healer, hydromancer, and a fucking NEET … FUDGEEE, all of them are useless in anything aside from combat.」
I wouldn't go as far as making this tower into sothing like a fortress, but we can at least built a barricade if we've soone with production type vocation, like the 『Blacksmith』 in MMORPG. Well, we'd nothing but combatant type here, even if by chance soone from class 2-7 had that kind of production-type vocation, he/she wasn't amongst our group right now, so we'd no choice but to do our best with what we had got.
「Ha~, I miss Randou-san….」
I unintentionally grumbled to myself.
Our defense would be perfect as long as we had Randou-san, a 『Geomancer』. I an, her worth in defense had been proven in underground lake's battle, a battle in which her 『Mud Wall』 played the biggest role in our survival.
I an, with her, we just needed a single day to complete our defense preparation with the combo of 『Terra Shield』 『Terra Kris Sagita』 『Eternity』, in addition, when the Gomas launched their siege, she could act as our main artillery with her powerful, long-ranged 『Terra Sagita』 to snipe the Goma, or 『Terra Blast』 to clear the encirclent.
When it cos to a defensive battle, no one could rival Randou-san's skill.
But she's not in this group. How I missed her powerful Geomancer's skill, her tanned, giant pair of tits whose size was second only to i-chan's.
「We may have no magic to create a wall, but at least we know how to build a barricade.」
We're just normal high school students without our vocation's power. We could cut down the trees around this tower and make a simple fortress to strengthen our defense and … I think we didn't need a really good one since there's a chance that the Gomas would never co to raid our base.
If we'd no way to procure a relatively good defensive gear, then we could only increase our level by defeating more enemies. I an, we could increase the number of our soldiers as long as I could use Rem and Rem the 2nd.
Moreover, even if she was easily defeated, I could save myself as long as I'd Rem. I guess reviving Rems was my greatest priority to guarantee the chance of my survival.
「All right then next is depending on Rem's ability.」
The choices would be heavily dependent on how much the new Rem the 1st could retain her previous power, or the new monster for her base, like Arachne. I beca more and more excited just by imagining the new possibilities of Rem.
「Well, the first thing I have to do is negotiation … Ha~h, I don't want to do this.」
To be honest, the shitty combination of personnel in this group would only set the negotiation circling around in the sa place. Well, it's far easier when I was offered a deal with Tendou-kun.
While here, we'd that Lolicon-kun who would suddenly interrupt the conversation.
「Hey, Yamajun, I have sothing to talk with you.」
Preparation was important before we entered the discussion stage. Let's go with the basics by making an ally who has the sa opinion as before entering the discussion. An ally like Yamajun, whose opinion was heard by everyone, was an irreplaceable existence for .
This was definitely not a cunning plan. With many swinging voters amongst our group, I could easily reach my goals as long as I'd their votes by making Yamajun my spokesperson. On the contrary, people who’d always disagreed with the majority’s opinion, despite lacking any reason to do so, was simply a pain in the ass.
「――So in short, Momokawa-kun, you want to enlist as your cooperator. Well, in fact it won't take a long ti for us to hunt a demon. And I personally welco the addition to our war potential.」
「That's right, let's do this, Yamajun!」
Yamada-kun readily offered himself when the matter about embracing Reina to pacify her ca forth. Lolicon-kun's nostrils basically flared at that ti
「So you're going to make that familiar of yours, right?」
「Well, it's not a problem, right?」
「We'll be stronger if we have the assistant of monster like Arachne.」
The heck, it was surprisingly easy to convince the Totem Pole Trio.
Now I just need to collect the materials for new Rems … but it's far easier than I thought. Well, I guess it's better this way, now I just had to do my best.
「Welco back, Rem.」
「GAGA!」
The first Rem I revived with 『Vile's Clay Doll』 was the most basic one which gave a sense of nostalgia, Rem, Black Skeleton version.
There were no skeleton-type monsters in this area but we'd a lot of Goma corpses. Though it's not like they're completely useless, the Goma's materials were basically left alone unused. Their consideration was almost natural since Goma's materials were basically as useless as skeleton's materials.
However, without the skeleton monster around, Goma's materials were the most useful replacent to create the early version of Rem.
The material I chose to use right now was the corpse of Goma's elite called Govu. Different from their short counterparts, Govu, who was blessed with the height of an adult human and more muscle mass, was a better material than the ordinary Goma.
Next was adding the lively Posing Mandragora which I’d picked in this jungle and a drop of my blood. Using my sen would cause various kinds of trouble in this situation so I substituted it with my blood.
Anyhow, her skeleton fra aside, she was currently as tall as the previous Rem the 1st who has been killed by that bitch. The reason why her basic form wasn't that short might have sothing to do with her base materials, or Rem was in fact leveled up.
「OO~Oh」
「WOAAAH」
「It's summoning magi~c.」
The Totem Pole Trio gave their honest impression upon seeing Rem rise from the black chaotic's swamp.
The one who helped hunt the demons for the materials and raising their level was none other than the Totem Pole Trio.
Yamajun and Lolicon-kun's were taking care of that shitty princess. Basically, one never left Reina alone with the other. The reason being … it's better that way, that bitch had no intention to do anything at all.
Perhaps that bitch would move only when we're heading to the next area, or else when our base was occupied by Goma.
Well, it's better that way. That bitch would only bring more headaches if she loitered around anyway. Even though she could easily win against small fries, she most likely would fall into the enemies’ trap if her opponent was a cunning-type monster like Arachne. Nay, even her sacred beast might backstab her soday.
As such, we had departed to the big hunt.
「――Oi, I see so Goma over there, what are you going to do?」
The one with the highest perception amongst us, Ueda the 『Swordsman』 quickly found enemies in our path.
This seed like it's the most natural thing to do, but this is the first ti I'd moved together with the Totem Pole Trio who used to hangout around Higuchi back in Japan. And maybe the first ti I’d talked to them.
That's why I didn't even know who was the Upper, the Middle, and the Lower of this trio.
And so, to avoid creating any future problems because I mistook their nas, I asked Yamajun to tell which one was which and their face beforehand.
As a result, I knew that swordsman Ueda was the one with long hair. In terms of looks, he was the most good looking among the three, but since he was always hanging around Higuchi, who was practically more handso than Ueda, he ended up as futsun [normal looking one]/iken [handso one] borderline.
「Goma has no core, the material stripped from their corpses, from head to toes is completely useless.」
「Riight. It's your turn, Shimokawa.」
「Here we go~.」
Shimokawa, the 『Hydromancer』 was clearly delighted since it's finally the ti for his magic to shine.
Shimokawa was the only four-eyed* character amongst the three. He had a pointed-sea urchin-like hairstyle, but I suspect the reason why his hair still pointed up like that in this dungeon was that he was carrying hair wax with him. [TL*: Wearing glasses]
Since he had the weakest physical abilities amongst the three, I was really not surprised seeing him take the sorcery type vocation.
And by the way, he wasn't a Hokkaido native despite speaking like one.
「――『Aqua Mist』」
In case they encountered a powerful foe, Shimoka, the 『Hydromancer』 used his 『Aqua Mist』 to block their opponent field of vision and used that chance to escape.
In addition, the effect was similar to Nagae-san, the 『Cyromancer』's 『Ice Mist』. According to Yokomichi, it also gave a concealnt effect by erasing the presence around its user. To be honest, I wanted this kind of skill.
Since the mist blocked the vision of anyone other than its user, we'd to rely on Shimokawa to get out of this mist and avoid the Goma's troop.
I an, it looked like nothing but magic, the mist just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, throwing the Goma's troops into confusion. I was sure now that those stupid Gomas thought that there's no one else but their troops inside of that mist. I think I'd end up in the sa situation without Shimokawa, that's why I stuck a note in the corner of my head to be careful when encountering sorcerers with a mist close to them.
We carefully threaded into the mist since one wrong move might lead to our enemy noticing our presence, but I guess that was needless worries against the likes of Gomas.
「You know, I wonder what the other monsters we can hunt aside from Goma?」
「There's the monkey.」
「Yeah, those guys who jump a lot.」
「Ah, let's ignore those monkeys, they're useless.」
And as I expected, the area around the tower was Goma's turf, we couldn't see any other monster in there.
「Sorry, but maybe we've to camp tonight since our destination is rather far.」
「Seriously, Momokawa.」
「Camping as in sleeping in the middle of this jungle?」
「Impossible~」
「I'm also not too keen to do this, but it really is aningless to go out this far yet have no harvest at all.」
What should I do now, the Totem Pole Trio seed to be about to beco an annoyance right now.
