Chapter 17
Thenlets go
Aheven if theyre called small fry but monsters are still monstersDont let you guard down
I understand
Lets depart
They braced their spirit as they both incited their cautionas they went out from the gate while Finia is cheeringOutside was the meadows where he ran for his life for about a single week last timeand the forest where Kitsunes life vanished for how many times can be seen spread ot from far away
Kitsune recalled the monster wrapped with miasma a little because of the sight of the forestand a chill crawled across his back with a *Zo kutto* soundHoweverthe monster of miasma wasnt here right nowand this chill was only an illusion(TLN: Translator-sans love is that Miasma thing thoughThe only reason why Im even translating this novel xD)
When walking for a whilemonster can be found 300m from the gateIt was the wolves who Kitsune encountered while he was running awayThere were perhaps 10 in his estimation
They were able to repel those wolves thanks to the assistance of Eerie Constitution last timebut he wasnt sure if it would become like that this timeKitsune braced his spirit once again
Its a Hound dogusually they would act in groups of 5 or 6but for there to be 10this will become troublesome for a moment
Is that right
Yeahalthough its not that much of a troublethe troublesome part is their coordinationIt would turn into a difficult battle if we cant see the whole pack
ffuuu
She took out her sword and said those words while watching the wolvesKitsune also looked at them with that informationThough Rishe says those wordsKitsune couldnt think of these wolves as a threat so muchFor the time beinghe mimicked the stance of Rishe who took out a small word from its sheath and he started to think on what he would do next
For nowIll hunt all of themKitsune should take on the wolves within the range of what you can take and help as much as possible
Understood
In accordance with the instruction of RisheKitsune is a little bit strained for his first straight forward combatHoweverhe felt settled down eve if there should be tension for ones frist combat perhaps because he wasnt scared of them
And thusto the hound dogshe stared at the enemy and boosted his concentration
Thereupon
Eerie Constitution Invoked
Eerie Constitution automatically invoked
kyankkyan
The Hound Dogs perceived it and held fear towards KitsuneWith the instinct of wild animalsthey started to retreat
Rishe was dumbfoundedKitsune is making an expression of guessing what is the cause of the happeningand Finia wasnt say anything
As Kitsune thoughtEerie constitution is limited to making small fry monsters to not want to fight with himThat was the severe truthsince he himself wouldnt fight overwhelmingly powerful monsters and demonsHe also cant do level ups
A the very leastthe large spider he met also ran away from the pressure it got from Eerie ConstitutionIn shortit is unlikely that he would fight any monster beyond the level of that large spider
Kitsunedid you do anything
NopeI didnt do anything at all
I-is that sothats weirdthough Hound dogs arent strong but it wouldnt run if there were more in a pack
With Rishe who is doubting while inclining her neckKitsune decided to deceive herThe happening a while ago wasnt because of meis what he decided to insist on
Im sure that they retreated because of Finia-chans strength Yepthat must be so
Eh Is that so Ehehehe
Kitsune insists that it was all thanks to Finia with all his bestHe praised Finiaand covered up his groundless story with the understanding truth of Finias strength
Thereuponeven though Rishe didnt understand the reason for the time beingshe concluded that there might have been something that touched the heartstrings of the Hound dogs
For the time beinglets go to another placeSince there are a lot of lower class monsters other than the Hound dogs
O-okay
For the time being, Kitsune understood that because of Eerie Constitutionall low class monsters would run awaythough he took sides with herhis will to fight has already disappeared
N
Kitsune unexpectedly looked at Rishes statusIt can be said that shes been practicing like this for 2 years nowThen wouldnt her level be also high is what Kitsune thought
While Kitsune catches the sight of Rishe who was walking ahead he invoked Status judgement
Status
Name: TorisheRumieira
Gender : FemaleLv23
Strength: 420 (TLN: BLAZE IT)
Stamina: 560
Resilience: 90
Dexterity: 550
Magic: 120
Title :Apprentice Knight Demon Eye Holder
Oh is what he thoughtCompared to the E rank adventurer who Kitsune knewHe also peeped at the status of JenoGureas who was courting the receptionist big boobed girl MiaIn that casehis level is twice higher than the present Rishe and his status was higher too
HoweverRishe today cant even fill in half of the status of JenoThough Dexterity ability level is highthe other statuses was a bit low for the level of 23 is what he thought
Did Jeno have an outstanding special talent or does Rishe have no talent is what he didnt knowbut maybe the increase rate of the status is different for each personThat is what Kitsune thought of
At that pointthere was something Kitsune was a little bit anxious about and asked
Hey Rishe-chan
What
Have you ever seen your own Ability level
Yeah I havesince there is a magic tool in the base of the Knights mass and the adventurers guild that can show a persons ability level
Magic toolbut though another word that he knows not about has appearedhe decided to put it on hold later by just confirming it when going to the guild
In that caseI want you to teach me about Resilience in the ability level
YesKitsune was anxious about the Resilience in his statusKitsune understood that the largest increase rate in his status is Resilience
Neverthelessthe most strongest ability level from all that he has seen JenoMia and Millia who were normal citizensand Rshe who was in his presenceall had a remarkably low ResilienceWhat does this all mean
Resilience huhCertainly Resilience has a clear distinction with the othersWith that traitit is the least to greatly rise in all of the ability levelThough it would rise if one had an aptitude for itthere are no people who are like that eitherFor example Even for an S Rank and A rank adventureraround 500 would be good as hard as possible
Is that so
Kitsune heard soand he didnt think that he had a considerably excellent aptitude towards Resilience
In the place actuallyhe didnt see much people with aptitude towards Resilience from humans or beast menWith the structure of the bodythe reason is that humans didnt excel much in defense powerSometimesthough there would be people with an aptitude of Resilience tooit wasnt much different from the good amount too
Alternativelythe living things called monsters and demons have a great aptitude for ResilienceDifferent from humansthey had scales and thick fur armor like protection with themFor that reasona normal citizen cant oppose against themand with that defense powernormal attacks wouldnt pass through
Well its natural to be anxious since it wont affect the rest of the ability levelso did Kitsune become anxious because Resilience wasnt that much high like the other ones
Yeah well its like that
UnexpectedlyKitsune understood that his weapon was greater than from his expectation and a small scope has appeared He now wanted to test how far he can go when he levels up.
But howeverRishe said another new truth right there
However other ability level than Tolerance alsowont go up forever even if there is an aptitude with it
Eh
If it becomes sothe possibility of the the defense power which is the weapon of Kitsune would be insufficient depending on its limitThe small scope that was born awhile ago vanished at that moment
Its alright Kitsune-san Even if Kitsune-san stays as weak as like right now but Ill still protect you
Thanks for the words to someone like me whod *Thunk* like right nowFinia-chan (TLN: Thunk = sound of someone falling to the ground)
Cease your chatting for nowthere it is
While walking while attending an easy lecture of the statusRishe caught the sight of a monster in their presenceThough it wasnt with a groupits body was fairly bigThough its appearance was that of a bearit had long fangs which it couldnt hide from its mouthand a sharp long finger nails could be seen from its paws which was gripping the ground
PromptlyKitsune peeped at its status
Status
Name: Mountain bear
Race: Bear type monster
Strength: 1500
Stamina: 350
Resilience: 240(TLN: Blaze it)
Dexterity: 350
Magic: 0
Though it seems like it doesnt have any skill apparentlyits power was the same as its appearanceIf those fangs and fingernails were swung with the power in its statusit would deal an incomparable might
That is aMountain Bearwhy is it in such a place like this
Its strong huhthat thing
YeahIf it says by an adventurers standards thenits an E rank monster
What should we do
Were not people who can cross swords with thathoweverit doesnt look like it would let us flee
Rishe prepared herselfWhen one sees itthe bear looked at Kitsune and it was threatenedIt seems to have recognized them as enemiesSince Kitsune has Finia, first of all he desperately calmed his spirit down for the enemy to not see him as an enemyIf by chance he used Eerie Constitution and the monster flees then the next time would be harder to deceive Rishe
Its coming Stance
Fairys Hymn
A resounding explosion.
A blast the blew off its body
The field of vision is dyed of pure white
A delayed burning of the skin temperature.
Though it was impossible to understand what is happening somehowthe only thing that could be understood is that something happened at a dash
W-what hap
Andwhen Rishe regains her view
Thi-This is
There was no bear in the presenceInsteadthe ground was scorched with a 5 meter radius from there
Andwhen she saw Finia who was floating near Kitsune while both her hands were stretched outshe understood that it was her magic that erased the bear a while agoFinia noticed her glance and scratched her face while making an expression like shes asking whats the matterRishe got a little bit annoyed
Kitsune
What may it be Rishe-chan
This is not becoming a training when training with you guys though
YesIm sorry
It escapes when it recognizes that Kitsune is an enemyand if a monster that seems to be strong for a moment shows up then Finia just makes it vanish and if it was for Rishe then she would fight itWhere would be the destination of the unsheathed sword beOnly the air is slashed
The following iswe wont be doing anything
WHAT WONT YOU BE DOING
I thought that we wont do anything and just return home though
That is the right answer de aruIt seems that the compatibility of Kitsune and his friends with Rishe is badThe pair tightly understood that
Then wellLets divide into two groups
Thats rightIll be saved if that is so
Though Kitsune understood that he himself is weakwith Rishe who thinks that her follow up isnt needed with Finias abilitythey accepted Kitsunes wordsIt will become a true training with that
In that casewe will be going that way
Then Ill be going over there
Finia pointed at the direction where she turned up a little while ago and Rishe pointed at the opposite directionAnd Kitsune and his followers divided into 2 groups according to their mutual policy a while ago
At this point there were 2 battles and 2 victoriesyet there were no one who raised a single level
