Episode 188: The rescue of a friend and a misunderstanding in succession

"Aki!! Tch."

The fingers of the monster's hand are digging into his neck, Aki's eyes are rolling back, and foam is blowing from his mouth. Aki's neck is about to break.

I won't let you do that!!

But, if I run from here, I won't make it in time!!

"Shia!!"

"Hmm."

Shia understands my intentions. That was the signal to unleash the technique that we had just learned from handling the Stampede at the D-rank dungeon earlier.

"Haa"

"Hmm!!"

I wrap my fist in Qigong, and Shia wraps her sword in magic, and we fire it.

-Goooooooooooooooooooo

-Buun n n n n n n nnn

The Qi unleashed by me forms a dragon-like shape, and the magical power unleashed by Shia is a boomerang-shaped flying slash that flies at tremendous speed towards the D-rank dungeon Bonus Monster that is holding Aki.

『Tch！！What〇＝＊＋～｛Ha！？』

I can now understand the words of the Bonus Monsters that I couldn't understand before. This may also be due to the evolution of Conversation. However, it seems that the proficiency isn't enough to fully understand it.

The monster seemed to see our long-range attacks as a thret, so it threw Aki to the side and dodged the attack itself.

-Supapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapaaan

-Papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapaaan

However, the monsters at the entrance of the dungeon behind that monster are directly hit, and hundreds of them disappear at once.

"Akiii!!"

-Gashiiii

I kick the ground as hard as I can and run behind Aki to catch him.

"That was close. By a hair's breadth."

"Gohou gohouu ... Fuhito ... huh? ..."

Perhaps in response to my voice, Aki, who is barely conscious, raises his eyes slightly.

"Oh, are you still alive?"

"... Run a ... way ... dangerous ..."

To make Aki say such things, that guy is an outrageous coward. There are explorers lying around who don't even move. There are dozens of people, so even if it were a D-rank dungeon Stampede, there shouldn't be a problem with just this many.

However, there's no way that the members here could lose to a D-rank monster. So they must have taken hostages or something since they seem smart enough to talk.

Unforgivable.

"I know. Don't worry. They used cowardly means. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened ..."

"... No ..."

-Gakuuu

I smiled so as not to make him worry, and when he tried to say something, Aki lost consciousness and lost all the strength in his body.

"Akiii!!"

Wondering if he had died, I put my ear to Aki's chest, and I can hear his heart beating, so it seems that he has just passed out.

Phew, if he had died, I would have hurt them until they regretted being alive, but it seems that's not the case, so let's finish it right away.

"Nanami!! Treat him right away!!"

"Yes!!"

"Amane stay and help with the movement of the injured!!"

"Okay!!"

"Rei, while watching the situation of these two, please keep an eye on the surroundings!!"

"I got it!!"

I lay Aki down and give instructions to the three other than Shia.

The enemy seems to be wary of us and doesn't do anything.

When Nanami and the others tried to move the injured, they tried to move, so I also took a step forward to keep it in check.

While we are glaring at each other, one by one, they are laid down in separate places, and Nanami begins healing them with recovery magic.

『Oma；‘（’＆hada？』(TN:Garbled untranslatable, Oma is probably omae = you, but I don't know.)

"Shut up, die!!"

The other party is talking to me, but it's not worth listening to, so I immediately got in close and fire a Qigong punch that I have gained a lot of control over.

-Paaaan

Then, in an instant, the monster disappears.

『～～！？』

The faces of the monsters gathered around the entrance of the dungeon are dyed in shock, perhaps because of the shock that their companion has disappeared in front of them.

"I think it's a D-rank dungeon Bonus Monster. If I remember correctly, the Bonus Monster I met in the Forest Dungeon looked like that. It seems to have intelligence, so be careful."

"Hmm!! Get lots of experience points and money!!"

"Hahahaa!! That's the spirit!!"

When I tell Shia about my prediction, Shia clenches her fists in front of her body and snorts spiritedly with an expressionless expression. My laughter spills over at Shia who never changes.

"That's right, annihilate them!!"

"Hmm!!"

We start running towards the monsters that have gathered near the entrance of the dungeon.

Nevertheless, even though the opponent is intelligent, they can't deal with sudden things, and there aren't any beings around them who can be taken hostage, so the Bonus Monsters are destroyed without doing anything.

But, among them is a monster that drops a magic stone larger than D-rank Bonus Monsters, and must be a D-rank Super Bonus Monster.

"~~ !?"

However, Shia suddenly trembles and her face turns pale.

Four signs stronger than the monsters we've beaten so far are coming from behind them. These guys are probably stronger than a D-rank Super Bonus Monster.

They're probably C-rank Bonus Monsters.

I stand in front of Shia and wait for those four to come out.
