chapter 12. first party action (5)
kodachi-san and i continued our dive on the second floor.
the process was going well, as there were only two seeker-seekers.
after the first single goblin, we encountered a formation of two goblins.
kodachi-san joined me in defeating them one by one.
kodachi-san could kill not only the kobolds but also the goblins in a single move.
kodachi-san, with her dagger [dual wield], is so strong.
on the other hand, i was hit by one goblin attack before i could destroy the goblin in my charge.
i was stabbed deeply in my right thigh. and my hp decreased by 8 points. ouch.
after using [earth heal], i recovered fully, but i was a little frustrated because i felt like i could see the difference in strength between kodachi-san and me.
next, we encountered three kobolds.
kodachi-san quickly defeated one of them, and the rest of the time i was watching to see how i would fare against the remaining two kobolds.
in this battle, i got hit by one of the kobolds.
the blow to my abdomen reduced my hp by 7 points. it still hurt.
when i was hit by kobold’s attack before, it was 4 points of damage, but does the damage depend on where you got hit?
.
i am not sure.
i recovered with [earth heal], and my hp was fully restored.
on the other hand, my mp was down to (16/24).
perhaps because i had taken a lunch break, it had recovered to its maximum value when i started our dive in the afternoon, but it decreased now.
incidentally, when i mentioned that kodachi-san was surprisingly spartan, she flinched and said, “i thought it would be bad if i took away your experience, so i kept my support to a minimum... sorry.”
in addition, with a sultry upward glance, she said, “...... musou-san, are you a bully, surprisingly?” my heart ached with a pang as she said that.
my sanity was dying.
“kodachi-san is only a business partner.”, i chanted in my mind like a buddhist prayer.
the horny boy in me is too loud.
and kodachi-san is too unaware of that (?). too much of a little devil.
then, after diving into the second floor, we found our 4th encounter.
what appeared was a large monster i had never seen before.
kobolds and goblins are as small as human children, but this one was like a well-trained adult fighter.
kodachi-san held up her two daggers, looked at the hobgoblin, and said.
“it is a hobgoblin. i’ll damage it, so please finish it off, musou-san. i’m sorry if i knocked him down by mistake.”
kodachi-san lowered herself and kicked the ground, heading toward the hobgoblin with the same terrifying agility as before.
the hobgoblin was holding a medium-sized one-handed sword.
he swung it with violent force, but kodachi-san agilely dodged the attack and dived into his opponent’s pocket.
“───haah!”
with a dignified and spirited voice, she attacked continuously with her left and right daggers.
the hobgoblin is sharply sliced open by two slashes.
“musou-san!”
“understand!”
i stepped in as kodachi-san quickly jumped back and i struck with my spear.
the hobgoblin tried to evade, but it was too late, and my spear pierced its abdomen.
that seemed to be the end.
the hobgoblin turned into a black mist and disappeared.
“oh, we got a [treasure chest]. lucky?”
kodachi-san’s voice danced.
in the place where the defeated hobgoblin had been, in addition to a slightly larger magic stone, a [treasure chest] had appeared.
