Isekai Shoukan chapter 33: Judging by appearance…...not good
Soon after I poured blood towards midair a space appeared in front of me and Johnny who is my summoned beast appeared with calm steps slowly from there.
By the way, Johnny's true name is jonkudornida. But it was troublesome to say such a stupid name each time, so I captured it and always call him Johnny.
Unlike some dragon, it is earsplitting! And without roaring loudly, he is a summoned beast which is kind to the contractor.
If someone from earth saw Johnny, they would say,
"There is a slightly strange hippopotamus"
Certainly his appearance is that of an hippopotamus that won't harm humans or animals, though his whole body is grey. But this hippopotamus......is really different than a normal hippopotamus.
Johnny has two snow white wings growing from his back!!
.........He can't fly.
I know Johnny now for a long time, but the use of the wing is still not good. It seemed to be a junk skill, then even now I can't tell what a function his wings have not even with my appraisal skill.
Nevertheless Johnny's abilities are genuine. At the moment he seems very sleepy because of his yawning! However when we were in the remote continent, i was killed by Johnny several times even if I wasn't in his near surrounding. Of course I revived because of my vampirization skill.
Edith senses that I was going to summon a summon beast sensitively, therefore she had strain in her expression, but when Johnny appeared, her expression changes completely and she has begun to look at Johnny and me alternately.
.........She doesn't know the horror of Johnny and I guess she thinks Johnny is a supporter or something like that. Hopeless Johnny, but reality is different!!
"Okay Johnny, do a magic blow towards this abnormal pervert!!"
While I pointed to Edith, I dashed at Tifal when I gave this instruction to Johnny after he yawned once.
Edith who see Johnny dashing at herself took her two falcatas and crossed them in a hurry to defend, but such an act is useless and she is plunged into the wall of the arena with full force.
A roaring sound echoes. Whether it's without regarding the mind, the ground swayed.
Dust curled up, but as soon as the dust cloud vanished you could see that a big crater appeared where Edith was standing before.
".........As what I would expect from Johnny!! Your speed doesn't match your appearance!! I'm serious that this is no result of an cheat!!"
Johnny sometimes doesn't follow my commands, probably because he doesn't like this name? Well, the result is all right. If I should have a friend...it would be Johnny for certain.
Tifal continued her attacks towards me without taking a rest, but her power weakened when I summoned Johnny.
I also found out that she hesitated a little. Tifal is surely different from me, who was killed a lot of times by Johnny. Therefore fear should be engraved inside her.
Even if she still check Johnny visually, she doesn't stop her attacks and escaped, because Tifal doesn't want to hand something special over.
After all is it her virginity? is she virgin?
".........GohooGohoo、ahahaha.........ha?"
Edith who vomits blood and had one of her arms turned to a different side tries to stand up again. Wh, What happened? Edith and I have such an expression because she fall down on her knees.
Perhaps, the cause that she is kneeling is Johnny´s attack or the large blood loss. Finally she can't anymore which was really troublesome.
With this Edith's movement stopped. Tifal's movement becomes a little dull by Johnny's appearance......however her swords are still flying.
Now is my chance.
"Although I wasn't able to use it because this pervert was still moving around, she can't move for now. Tifa cool down your head"
I put my mithril knife back in the knife holder and chanted while avoiding Tifal's attack.
"『Change the world into ice arrogantly, because I don't allow a fight anymore. Everything is frozen by my will. Sit down in this ice cold season!!《Glacial erosion Gureishieito》!!"
A small blue magic circle appear on my feets and ice erupts from it. Therefore
――――the world freezes.
The ground and the wall, everything is frozen instantly. So that the whole arena is covered by ice.
Tifals black swords freeze completely, too and shatter when they fell down. Tifal was also restricted by the ice that she can't move now.
".........Huu......when you're moving around strangely, because I can't control it well, I might kill you by mistake, therefore I hesitated in using this magic"
I sighed and murmured small while having a relieved expression on my face. Although the auditorium was also frozen, no person was harmed.
Most of the spectators had an astonished expression on their faces. But a sneeze is noisier than that.
I left Edith alone and moved towards Tifal. I poured my blood again from the wound that didnt healed yet and let Johnny return.
When I stepped up to Tifa's side I grabbed her waist and draw her closer.
"......Did your head calm down? Well......what is it, will you behave calm and composed from now on?"
I spoke so with a gentle tone, while paying attention to Tifal who had a difficult face.
"..............."
There is no answer. But after I patted her head and she seemed pleased, she answered.
Whether because the battle was settled, but the spectators were shouting and pointing at Edith who has wounds on her whole body, while leaving the arena.
"Heey!! Can someone carry Edith!!"
The spectators were talking loudly about this great battle and didn't hear my words. I grieved to see such a scene.
"............Bring someone here, you iiidddiiioootttsss!!!"
Isekai Shoukan chapter 34: Meat shield or Infiltration
"......Thanks for saving me, Newbie-kun. I didn't want to be left alone there"
Edith issued words of thank towards me while sitting down on her chair at the counter of the black guild. She delicately shake her body plumply.
Probably it will be hard for her to sit down on the chair because of the wounds. However, it is through. Hang the word about which I worry, it backfires certainly.
After the spectators have left the arena because of Edith, we had a pleasant chat and I who restricted Tifals hands and feet with ice, released it in an instant and I racked my head what I should do with Edith.
I intended to carry her on my shoulder and take her to the counter of the black guild, but after Tifal draw me close to her and doesn't intend to release me because she entwine our arms together forcibly my plan was destroyed immediately.
Because I felt slightly sorry, I came up with the plan to pull one leg of Edith.
I freed one of my arms from Tifal and tried to step up to the bottom to grasp her leg.
However at that moment I didn't miss that Tifal was angry. I retracted my hand in a hurry and succeeded in avoiding a worst development.
I think that I grew fairly. I mean I want someone to be proud of me.........but I have no friend here.
I make something like a big box with my ice magic and put Edith inside to carry her.
Even if I say box, it's impossible to close it, because it doesn't shut neatly. To make it easy to carry her I devised a handle.
The arm of Edith that Tifal bent to the other side was cured to its original state before I stuck her into the box. Tifal had the intention and expression that is saying she deserves this, but it will be my imagination.
When Edith´s arm was cured, "Gyaaaaa!! Ouch!! Ouch!!" she raised a grievous cry. Though she did not complain about the pain at the time of our battle, why is it so now? I thought so, but I concluded that she is out of adrenaline.
I believe that Edith´s behavior are only on good will!! No, I'd like to believe it!!
The distance from an arena to the counter of the back guild includes stairs. Of course I lift the box with Edith with both hands when we reached the stairs......although Tifal didnt permit it, I felt sorry a little and carried the box while it shakes intensely.
When we arrived at the counter of the black guild, Edith became pale quickly.
Edith, upuu......bad feeling......because she didn't said anything since she went out of the box. However she immediately took out a bottle with crid colored liquor from below the counter and she drank it.
And soon after she drank it up, she stood up whether she felt a little better sit on her chair, before she gave her thanks to me
The liquor bottle was probably a portion. ............I never want to drink it......
Although I carried her here somehow, the good intention that came out from Edith when she thanked me was finished in a little.
"......Ah, there you go, you have great battle skills and as thanks I will hand over these very advantageous requests that I was going to post to everyone tomorrow"
Edith handed me two pieces of paper which had a good quality.
Are these profitable requests? In fact, was Edith a good person in spite of being so abnormal? My favorable public image of Edith is skyrocketing!!
Immediately, I checked the contents of the two requests that were handed by Edith.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
Request
A part of the heroes who were summoned went to the forest of the black beasts to capture it. We need people who will oppose the Ederu kingdom at the Kueku valley and will be a meat shield.
Those who are super quick and want to take this shield role are welcomed.
The reward is 50 gold coins and the restriction period is one month.
※If you survive, a reward is handed neatly.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
Request
We got the information that the elite of the heroes who were summoned to Ragishisu kingdom went to capture the forest of the black beasts.
The guard of Ragishisu´s royal palace became very thin, therefore using this rare opportunity, sneak into the royal palace as a employee and obtain as much information as possible and return with it.
The reward fluctuates by the importance of the information brought home.
20 gold coins are promised as minimum.
The restriction period is 2-3 weeks.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
......
.........
............Wait a moment.
"Hey!! Edith what is with this request. Where do you benefit from it"
The moment when I confirmed the contents of this request, the favorable public image of Edith turned back to the bottom.
My communication disorder doesn`t erupt while talking to Edith. Is this because she is abnormal?
"......He? No, by all odds it is advantageous!! Newbie-chan say it too to Newbie-kun!!"
What did she say? After she turned her face to me saying so, before she uttered a word to Tifal.
"............It isn't bad"
She answered with a low voice while having a disliked expression.
Tifa hates Edith.
What this request isn't bad!? I write a partition!!
".........I mean this request has awfully good quality paper"
I muttered small without being able to agree to Tifal´s and Edith´s words. My mutter seemed to arrive at Edith´s ears who began her explanation.
"......Why are the two royal families clients for this request? The first one who I have seen who has made this request was Ragishisu kingdom, Ederu kingdom was later"
Edith spoke frankly about secret matter-like information. She is talkative.........is that okay? Receptionist-san.
"Does the imperial family also use the black guild........."
When I muttered this with a weak and disgusted tone, it immediately reached Edith´s ears. Edith´s ears are too good......
"......There are almost no cases that the Ragishisu kingdom uses the black guild. Well the only people who are trustworthy to receive a quest from Ragishisu kingdom are the heroes. Ah, the Ederu kingdom´s......cough, royal family use it very often!! There hearts might be pitch black!! Though it is what humans from the black guild said, I think that it is a considerable dreg. Well, it doesn't need to be said openly that they are an easy mark"
When the talk about Ragishisu kingdom came up, Edith seemed to be very highly tensed.
Edith is really talkative.
Well, Tifa also have said that this request isn't bad for the time being and we need the money, because we have none. When I thought whether to accept it and I was going to ask Tifa, she answered nothing and let me decide.
Is it so easy to understand that I'm thinking......a little in my mind, before I handed the request to Edith.
