Chapter 16: 16

03-16-My Kobotaro

“Kobotaro, you can  collect?　That’s amazing!　What’s that?　Aren’t you better than Kana?”

“Stop it, Asami! If I were serious, I could do it too.”

All the strong-looking adventurers dispersed and entered the dungeon.

Only a few weak-looking people dressed in brown gear remained, and they all looked relieved as they began to collect.

“So why are you guys still here ……?”

“Ha-ha-ha, we’d be a liability if we went.”

This guy is dressed in brown equipment – leather series – and yet he looks kind of strong. I get it. Because he has an Excalibur on him, and he has a holy aura. Oh my God!, a guy like me is going to be drowned out by his presence, isn’t it?　I’m jealous.

Akari comes next to me and beams when she sees Kobotaro working hard at gathering.

“He works hard at everything he does. He’s really cute.”

I’m already in love with Kobotaro. I was in love with him from the beginning, but I was even more smitten when I saw him collecting in his spare time.

“Fu, Fujima-kun… do you like girls who work hard?”

“…Huh? Well, it’s better to be seen doing your best than someone who’s just doing nothing.”

“Wow, I’ll do my best, too!”

Akari suddenly wandered over to an open collection spot, knelt down on her knees, and started collecting. Hey, why did you limit it to girls now?　You mean Kobo-taro, right?

“Wow,…… I’ve heard from everyone that Fujima-kun is really great!”

Suzuhara’s voice on my back. I heard it from everyone.

“It’s not amazing. I started gathering a week earlier than you guys, so it’s only natural that I’m used to it. Above all, I have a lot of skills.”

“Skill huh. There was [Gathering LV1] at the cat’s shop I went to yesterday, but if it’s something like this, I shouldn’t have been stingy with 30 Copper.”

Suzuhara drooped her head down.

…Ah, come to think of it.

Talk to Kobotaro when he’s done collecting and receive a book.

“That reminds me, I accidentally dropped this from a Minor Kobold yesterday…how about if you don’t mind?”

“Huh lies!, you’re going to give me the skill book …… for [cocllecting lvl 1]?”

I had forgotten to ask Cocona if she would buy it from me.

“I’ll just sell it if I keep it.”

“God!”

Suzuhara accepts the skill book I offered her. Wow, I’ve become a god with one 30-copper skill book. I feel like I’m going to be torn apart with one swing of the chainsaw.

A wind finally blew in my dark and gloomy mind, which had been sticking to me like mud, and I was able to whisper a joke……..

Kobo Taro set [spear lvl. 1].

The urakaze-urakaze immediately turned into a gale that tore everything apart.

“It’s a monster!”

As soon as I shout, I turn my gaze around. Kedoin and others immediately stop collecting and stand up, and even faster, the workers who were collecting nearby run away in a blink of an eye.

──There was.

Three shadows rushing towards us from the south. Dog heads, a spear in each of their hands— minor kobolds.

“Asami, Kana, Reina!”

“Aiyo”

“Hoi hoi”

“Spirit of Flame, respond to my voice—”

At Kedoin’s signal, the two held their bows horizontally, and Akari held her staff in both hands, and began chanting.

“Kobotarou, I’m counting on you.”

“Gah!”

“Wow….. there are so many… are you okay?”

I instruct Kobotaro to hang with Kedoin.

Kobotaro responded with high spirits.

Ashima is flustered.

Is she okay, I don’t know.

“If the three of us can use our long-range attacks to defeat even one enemy before they get too close, we might be able to do something about it.”

I felt like I had seen it a little while ago, and if it were a one-on-one matchup, the Kedoin wouldn’t lose to a Minor Kobold.

…then.

“Fujima-kun, how about Kobotaro?”

How’s is he, how’s it going.

……Screw you!!

“Even my Kobotaro won’t lose!!”

“Okay. I’m counting on you.”

In response to my exasperation, Kedoin gave a soft smile.

“Ora”

“Ei!”

“Manifest in my power. single arrow of fire that pierces the enemy.”

Takagi and Suzuhara’s arrows flew ahead of Akari’s magic activation, and one of them pierced the chest of the kobold in front. One of the dog faces distorted its expression in agony, but still all three of them came running.

“Gururuu……”

“Not yet, Kobo. If you stick out, you’ll be shielded from Akari’s magic, and above all, you’ll be surrounded. If you go, go with Kedoin at the same time.”

He waited for the magic to activate while controlling Kobotaro, who looked like he was about to start running, with his right hand.

And ──

“Let’s go! Fire arrow fire bolt!”

From the magic circle that appeared in front of Akari, who held her wooden staff horizontally, blazing flames flew with tremendous force.

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaa!”

It pierced the kobold with arrows in his chest, scorched it, and carried green light.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“I’m counting on you, Kobotaro!”

“Gah!”

“The remaining two.”

Kedoin and Kobotaro started running side by side as if they were competing for the lead.

”Guruaaa!”

“Uoooooo!”

“Guruaaaaaa!”

A roar, then contact.

Two sparks fly.

A spear is unleashed. A one-handed sword wielded against a shield.

Spears and spears intersecting. Sharp-pointed ears and swords clashing again and again, making a clattering, wild sound.

Go ……!　Go kobo taro ……!

Ashima, who had somehow lined up next to me, who could only cheer me on, was praying the same way I was, with her hands folded.

Takagi and Suzuhara run past on either side of us, perhaps intending to cover for us.

《Kobotaro sets [Defense LV1]》

“Gaaaah!”

“Gooooooooooooo ……!”

Kobotaro switches skills and takes a spear to the chest, as if he thought he couldn’t avoid it.

“Kobotaro!”

I was so surprised that my legs went forward. There was nothing I could do.

──But.

《Set Kobotaro [Spear LV1]》

“Guruaaaaaa!”

“Gaaaaaaaaa!”

Without any help from Takagi and Suzuhara, much less from me, Kobotaro’s spear pierced the minor kobold’s chest.

“Gah!”

“Gu… Gu…!”

Kicking the opponent’s stomach and forcibly pulling out the tip,

“Gyaaaaah!”

He thrust his spear into the staggering kobold’s throat and called in the green light this time.

“Uoooooo!”

“Gaaaaaaaaa!”

Kedoin also flipped over and dodged his spear with a single flash, splendidly ripping the kobold’s neck and killing it. When the last green light appears,

《End Battle》

《Gain 1 EXP》

Such a window signaled the end of the battle.

“Whew…… whew…… that was good…….”

Ashima sat down flat on the spot.

I also sat down on the spot.

“wah…… thank God……!　That was seriously scary……!”

I’m not cool.

Kedoin, who fought for his life, just breathed a sigh of relief and put his sword and shield behind his back, while I’m here with Kobo Toro, fearing he’s going to die.

“Fujima-kun, Ashigaya-san,are you okay?”

“I was so relieved, I fell off my back. I’m going to go check on Kobotaro at …….”

“Wow, that was really cool, Akari-san. ……”

She smiled at us and pulled Ashima up, then looked at me hesitantly before extending her soft, white, thin hand to me as well.

“Eh, ah, no, oh, I’m still fine. I don’t think I can stand.”

“Ah, yeah, I’m sorry? Don’t worry about it, okay?”

What is this? I stuttered so much. Akari also noticed the strange atmosphere and ran to Kedoin and the others.

Next to her was Kobo-taro, who seemed to be fine, as if his wounds were less severe than expected.

“Amazing Kobotaro! Cool!”

“You’re really strong. I’m surprised you didn’t need support.”

“Haha, thank you Kobotaro, you saved me.”

Takagi and Suzuhara caressed him, and Kedoin’s hand was placed on his shoulder.

And then, with a red face, he looked at me asking for help.
