Chapter 219:

Dungeon Stampede 2.0 Flight

[Whooooosh…! Whooooosh…!]

10 AM. The wind could be very sturdy as we speak.

I, who subtly match properly with such a howling wind, am stationed on the balcony of a meals supply fortress made out of the exoskeleton of a large purple scorpion, digging out the flesh from its large leg.

A while of growing older is ok, however too lengthy and it’ll spoil.

Yeah, monster meat is scrumptious. It may well’t evaluate to the extremely tender A5 rank meat that is laden with fats, however… properly, monster meat and livestock raised for meals are fully totally different in nature.

The meat could be very powerful, and there is virtually no fats. However that is what makes it good.

That is in all probability what they name sport meat. The very wild taste appears to awaken some primal intuition deep inside my physique. Oh, by the best way, “sport meat” comes from French, initially referring to conventional dishes made by nobles searching on their estates.

With some ingenuity, even monster meat could be scrumptious.

The flesh I’ve simply dug out from the enormous purple scorpion is at present being made into meatballs within the kitchen by Ruu and the others. It may be grilled into hamburgers or simmered in a pot.

The one draw back is that as quickly as they’re made, Ruu’s mother goes across the neighborhood distributing them.

However it’s fantastic to have the ability to act with a spirit of mutual support even in such circumstances. As anticipated of Ruu’s mom.

Even monster meat is welcome on this condominium the place electrical energy, fuel, and water are out. The recipients will eat it regardless of any complaints. Ruu’s mother was initially bowled over however rapidly bought used to it.

As I used to be fascinated about these items, a gunshot rang out within the wind as I sat cross-legged on a vinyl sheet on the balcony, holding a large purple scorpion leg.

[(Bang!)]

[(Papapapap…!)]

(Hmm! Was that gunfire…!?)

I put aside the enormous purple scorpion leg and peeked by way of a spot within the barricade to examine exterior.

[Whooooosh…! Whooooosh…!]

…However no extra gunshots.

Hmm, simply as soon as. It appears far-off, in all probability from throughout the river. Judging by the course, it may be the Self-Protection Forces in Matsudo. Possibly it is a reconnaissance unit.

The helicopters that had been flying round endlessly till we bought right here have not been seen since. It is simply hopeful hypothesis, however they in all probability took care of the high-risk boss-level monsters.

(So, it is about time…)

If the unit stationed at Matsudo pacifies the world and enters the town, issues ought to relax round right here. However that might imply restrictions on motion. Earlier than that occurs, I need to quietly retrieve the remainder of the enormous purple scorpion exoskeleton hidden on the shrine.

Yeah, each Nina-san and Ruu’s fits bought fairly broken this time.

However that is the go well with’s job, in order that they fulfilled their mission. Contemplating the long run, having an excessive amount of high-quality armor materials shouldn’t be an issue.

“Hey, Coach, what’s up?”

“Ah, Nina-san, everybody, pay attention. I am going out once more to retrieve the enormous purple scorpion exoskeleton.”

Once I went to the kitchen and stated that, they had been naturally shocked.

“What!? Coach, it was so exhausting to get right here! Why are you saying you may exit into hazard once more!?”

“Ah, about that, I simply heard gunfire exterior. It is in all probability the Self-Protection Forces in Matsudo. So, the state of affairs round right here ought to quiet down quickly.”

“Um… how does that relate to you going out, Coach?”

“Effectively, if the Self-Protection Forces are right here, we will decrease our guard a bit, proper? The helicopters that had been flying round are gone. But when the Self-Protection Forces arrive, civilians may lose the liberty to maneuver. We bought fortunate on the courthouse as a result of it was crowded.”

“I see… so that you need to retrieve the ‘treasure’ now.”

“…… (Sigh)”

The Pixie Queen seems in a rainbow glow, and Serai-san reluctantly nods. Don’t be concerned, the calculations must be wonderful. It is all about making an attempt new issues.

…..

“Alright, I am going to go first. Ability: [Jump]!”

[Thump!]

Kicking off the enormous purple scorpion exoskeleton on the balcony, I leap into the air, adopted by Pixie Queen’s air catapult accelerating me.

[Whoosh…!]

(…Right here must be good)

Earlier than reaching the height of the arc, I unfold my limbs to catch the wind within the slime membrane.

“Ninja flying squirrel approach!”

[Whoosh…!]

The membrane catches the wind, lifting me up.

(Wow, wonderful…! A childhood dream come true!)

I soar, fulfilling a dream of flying freely within the sky.

The altitude rises, and the view opens up. That is Mount Tsukuba within the distance. To the left, I see many mountains, and to the appropriate, Tokyo Bay.

Wanting down, I see a protracted slime rope stretching beneath.

This connects to Serai-san… she has taken off from the now tiny condominium. Pixie Queen is along with her, however I am going to assist pull her up.

Lifting Serai-san nearer, I see her.

“Eek! Wait, what…!?”

She closes her legs and arms in worry, shedding raise and dangling.

“Relax, Serai-san! Unfold your legs and arms!”

“Simpler stated than completed!”

“Wha…!?”

“Ahh!”

Pixie Queen is making an attempt to help her, however along with her limbs closed, it is futile. The linked slime rope spins, throwing me off stability.

“Rattling, not good!”

At that second, wings sprout from the again of Serai-san’s go well with.

[Poof!]

“Ahh! Wait, what??”

As quickly because the small, faintly glowing wings sprouted, our flight abruptly stabilized. I hurriedly pulled within the slime rope and known as out to Serai-san.

“Are you okay, Serai-san!?”

“Y-yeah…”

Serai-san, flying by way of the air like a kitten carried by the scruff of its neck by a mom cat… What!? That is unbelievable! What the heck is that!?
