Chapter 190.1. Fierce Battle With The Greater Hornbear Cow!

6th floor. The dungeon is filled with non-aggressive Poyopoyos, making it not very dangerous. But, Poyopoyos’ type has changed a bit.

In the grasslands, Poyopoyos are bouncing around cutely. They were only about 1 meter in size until the 5th floor, they have grown to 2 to 3 meters.

They have become somewhat stronger. Because of their appearance, not only regular people but even adventurers are few.

“There was a checkpoint in front of the stairs leading to the 6th floor.”

“The entry fee was 100,000 yen per person. If you want to take home the meat of the Greater Hornbear Cow, it will cost you an additional 1 million yen. It’s cheap, right?”

Tamamo calmly informs her, but it’s different from Mii-chan’s perspective. She has a commoner’s mind, so it’s a lot of money.

The Hornbear Cow was probably quite expensive when people would to took it home. I wonder how much Hornnbear Cow’s price is.

I can take one home for around 100,000 yen, right?

“Compared to the market price, the personal take-home price for the Greater Hornbear Cow is quite cheap when hunted. There are not many people who can defeat them, so I hear they keep the entrance fee low.”

“Ah, I see.”

That makes sense. Although it dropped Premium Poyopoyo Meat, I wonder if they get eaten. I do recall using it as an ingredient in cooking.

I got down from Nimue, and it was time for me to walk.

Everyone in the escort also begins to disperse at equal intervals and begin their vigilance.

Given their larger size, the enemies on this floor have more HP. It would be troublesome if we accidentally attack it and it become hostile.

However, it was an unexpected blind spot that the Ranch Dungeon turned out to be the land of Poyopoyo. We only described it on paper as a dungeon where only weak monsters appear. Going to see it firsthand is important.

Our group continues to walk, carefully avoiding attacking a Poyopoyo jumping out from the grass.

Tamamo sniffs and perks up her fox ears. Her shining eyes sparkle.

“I found it! Over here! Konkon!”

It’s a grassy plain with trees scattered and a river flowing through it. There are also small ponds and hills with slopes. Tamamo runs off, wagging her tail and fluttering her kimono sleeves, toward a nearby hill.

It seems she found a Greater Hornbear Cow. Nimue still carried Mii-chan when we chased after it. Yamiyo stares intently, but it’s troublesome to cancel and choose to -fight- other enemies. So sorry.

“Look, it’s over there!”

“Oh, is that the Greater Hornbear Cow?”

“It seems quite massive. It’s said to be difficult to defeat.”

Mii-chan looks in the direction Tamamo points and opens her mouth in surprise. Sena nods as she approaches.

There, a 5 meter tall Milk Pudding-like creature stands. It leisurely sways its body on top of the hill. It looks delicious if I take a bite.

“That’s the Greater Hornbear Cow. Mii-sama, please be careful because it continuously uses self-regeneration skills.”

“Unlike the Hornbear Cow, when it transforms into horns or a bear, it will hurt you. It makes a crunching sound!”

Yamiyo’s expression turned serious, and Tamamo pretended to tremble and curl up, saying it would hurt if we got hit. She also wagged her tail, looking extremely adorable.

“Self-regeneration? Don’t they use recovery magic?”

“There were monsters that could use self-regeneration. But those monsters were controlled by monster tamers in the past. But it seems no monster could use recovery magic by themselves now. That’s why we’re rare, Mii-chan.”

“Hmm…”

Something’s strange. That’s Milk Poyopoyo King, or let’s call it Milk King. It has a plump figure and gives off a healing aura.

In the game, that monster could use the skill [Area Greater Heal I]…

…In this world, there aren’t many beings who can use healing magic.

If monsters could use recovery magic, monster tamers would be the most popular, so maybe it’s different in the world of novels.

“Alright, here I go!”

Yamiyo swiftly unsheathed Yaten and assumed a mid-level stance. Despite being young, Yamiyo’s flowing black hair and dignified expression made her look beautiful. Coupled with her magic armor, she resembled a traditional Japanese magical girl from an anime.

“Understood. Oh, there are other Poyopoyos nearby.”

A 1 meter Poyopoyo jumped out from the nearby grass. Bouncing around, it circled the Milk King.

The 8 other charming Poyopoyos accompanied Milk King.

“Oh no!”

Mii-chan dropped the mace in her hand and trembled in shock as she watched the scene.

“That enemy can use magic, but if we attack it a little, it will run away, so it’s fine. Mii-chan, is something wrong?”

“But… those Poyopoyos, they’re transparent! They’re Zirconia Poyopoyos! And there are 8 of them!”

“They don’t drop any valuable materials when defeated, and they dissolve upon defeat, so there’s no point in defeating them. Besides, they run away immediately.”

Sena calmly explained that they had no value. Indeed, they were enemies that didn’t drop many materials.

I see. In the world of novels, they become such existences. I see. I see…

“I-I’ll defeat those sparkling ones and provide support for everyone!”

As a Priest, that’s only natural.

“Shall we drive them away, young lady?”

“We’ll handle it ourselves, so it’s okay! Don’t interfere, and let’s fight!”

Kongou-neesan, we’ll defeat them on our own.

“Understood. Here I go!”

Yamiyo kicked the ground forcefully. Even though they were 50 meters away, she closed the distance between them in the blink of an eye, and Milk King, causing the earth to crack slightly and chunks of soil to fly.
