Chapter 23
Chapter 23 – Is it fine even if I ended up defeating it?
With both Helena and Io, we walk to the grassy plain . My aim are of course would be the mountain cow . After I hunt it down I will turn them in for money . Today I’ve only managed to hunt down one so my earning is still far from enough .
“One man fighting over 1 000 man force was it?”
“Yes . Although almost half of the soldier were spared, most of the spared soldier had lost their willing to fight so it was not surprising at all . ”
“I can see how it goes . As I’ve seen Kakeru dealt with the large amount of undead army, Kakeru-san had personally defeated Sandros . ”
“Sandros . Is it the Hell’s Emperor Sandros?”
“Yes . That’s why being able to defeat a unit of 1 000 man did not surprised at all . As I though Kakeru-san is certainly amazing . At least that is what I think . ”
Sohow Helena and Io were chatting happily behind my back . It was as if they had imdiately found a mutual understanding with each other .
That is good and all… but there was no mountain cow to be seen . We have walked quite far but there seems to be none of those mountain cow appearing .
Even when I hunted the previous mountain cow, it ran away as soon as our eyes t .
I don’t want to think about it but… .
(Are you not being avoided?) Eleanor said .
“I wonder if I overdid it . ”
That might be the case . Perhaps the mountain cows had already recognized as a dangerous existent .
We walk for a little bit more . When we finally see a mountain cow, there were already a group of people hunting it . When I looked at the carefully, it was a group of rcenary with 10 people wearing the sa type of armor .
It’s quite unfortunate when we finally see one mountain cow and all— as I was thinking about that there was sothing shocking occurred .
The mont where my eyes t with the mountain cow, the mountain cow that was fighting with the group of rcenary hurriedly turn around and run away with its tail between it’s leg .
The mont when it’s saw , it ignored everything in front of it and it ran away .
… . . Well, this is not good . .

We returned back to the town and went straight to Andrew Firm . There I told everything that had happened to Andrew without missing a single detail in it .
“My my…”
Using his handkerchief, Andrew wiped off his sweat on his forehead . He had an unspeakable look on his face .
“Certainly, if Yuuki-sama were to say to over-hunt them I would have no objection towards that . For the past few days alone, Yuuki-sama alone had done the work of a few hundred man . ”
“If that’s really true then I don’t think mountain cow hunting would be possible for the an ti . ”
“Yes . ”
“So, are there any other things that we can make earning with, if possible sothing that pays good . ”
“Let see…” Andrew thought for a while with a serious look . After thinking for a while, he raised his head and looked at my behind .
“If I’m not mistaken you’re the C RANK Io right? The one who’s good with lightning . ”
“Yes . ” Io nodded sounding a little bit troubled . Why did he looked over here— that was the sort of reaction that Io had .
“You’re in a party with Yuuki-sama?”
“”As long as there’s soone who can use lightning magic…there is no task that cannot be made into earning point . ”
“You’re not sounding clear . ”
“At any rate there are certain risk that would go with the work . ”
“Let hear about it for now . ”
“Understood . The task would be mining the orikudite . ”
Mining? This daite-sothing is so sort of ore? It doesn’t sound that dangerous though . However I could hear Io gulping down hard from my behind .
“Andrew-san, isn’t that a little bit…”
“I know . However Yuuki-sama said [sothing that pays good] so . ”
“Well that might be the case but . ”
Io looked at with a really troubled look . I wonder what sort of task would this mining the orikudite would be for Io to make such troubled expression .

We fly back and heads toward the rocky mountain that was located before the plains where the mountain cows were inhabiting .
“What they ant by Orikudite would be the na of the mountain where we can get the magic ores from . ”
“Magic ores? You an that it was a stone that was ford by magic?”
“In the mountain there lives a monster nad Orikuto . A strong gush of magic always leaks out from the monster’s body . The magic that was leaking out is strong turns into so sort of substance . That magic power began sticking onto the surrounding rock and gets dry after so ti passed . And Orikudite are the thing that was ford out of the substance the dried after hundred, thousands of ti passing . ”
“I have seen it before . ” Helena said while nodding .
“Because the magic power that Orikuto emits varies depending on the ti of the day, the one that I had recollection of was an ore with pile of layers that resemble the rainbow, it emits the aura of mystical and was really beautiful . ”
“I see . ”
Sohow I was able to imagine it . From the explanation that they gave, I wonder if it looks like a colorful annual ring of the tree .
“Is it expensive?”
“Ee, while it being beautiful, the difficulty level to harvest the ore are quite hard from what I’ve heard . ”
“To be honest, Orikuto is immortal . ”
“Immortal?”
I was quite surprised by what Io had said .
“Not only it’s monstrously strong, no matter how bad it was attacked it would keep on regenerating . Orikuto only has one weak point, and that is the lightning magic . Once it got attacked using the lightning magic, it will disabled for quite a ti . ”
“I see, so when it was disable then people would go and harvest so Orikudite quickly . The reason why Andrew told this because Io is in a party with . ”
“Yes . It looks like he know that I can use lightning magic . It was said that if you go there without anyone that is capable of using lightning magic is the sa as courting death . ”
The danger level is to that extent?
I understand what she’s trying to say . It’s a common sense to have a well equipped mber before fighting a formidable enemy . For the monster Orikuto, there’s only one possible way to deal with it and that is by using lightning magic .
“Understood . Well then, if we ever t him then I will hold him back, while I’m doing that Io will take that opening to invoke your lightning magic . ”
“Okay . ”
While the vanguard stay on guard in front, the magician will start hitting it with the magic that the monster’s weak against .
An orthodox strategy . Io replied without hesitation .
“Thus, for Helena you will be dealing with this one . ”
I pulled out the all of the offensive magic ball (black) that I have and gave it to Helena .
“This is?”
“This is an offensive item, it will be activated as long as you throw it at the target that you want . You can use it at your discretion . ”
“I understand . ”
“And please do the harvesting . ”
After we finish with a simple formation we proceed by climbing the rocky mountain . By the ti I realize, we reached a place where a weird aura could be felt from the surrounding area . It was a weird erald colored… . but I didn’t feel anything weird even when I bath in the aura or touch it .
“This… is that Orikuto aura?”
“Probably . ’
Io nods . When we advance a little bit more, the wall of rock is clearly different from before . For an example, up until now the wall of rock looks bare, but now the wall of rock looks like it has been painted with green .
This is the place— while I was thinking of that, Orikuto appears .
“It’s Orikuto . ” Io scread out .
“Yosh! Let’s go!”
Holding onto Eleanor, I dashed out towards Orikuto . With a quick glance I look at Helena and Io . Reflected before their pupils were the looks of confidence .
“Eleanor . ”
(What?)
“I’m going to beat him, lend your strength . ”
Now that they had put their trust in — of course I need to answer their expectation .
