"Kuuu~~n" (Kumayuru)
Somewhere in the village, I heard the Kumayuru's cry and used my detection skill to confirm its location.
"Kumakyu, tell Kumayuru that you understand." (Yuna)
"Kuu~n" (Kumakyu)
The detection skill showed Kumayuru began to move.
"Kumakyu, guide the King Spider." (Yuna)
"Kuu~n" (Kumakyu)
We met up with Kumayaru, blocked the road, and used a combination of Kumayaru and Kumakyu to restrict the King Spider's movements, and guided the King Spider to the place where Kumayuru had called earlier.
Went over there. Built a clay wall. It tried to climb up easily, so I casted a spell on it, but it ran away. However, this magic was also for guidance purposes.
It's almost here.
In front of us we saw an old house.
I checked it with the detection skill. This was the place where Kumayuru cried.
It looked like it's definitely in that house.
The detection skill had two reactions of people in the house.
The king spider sticked to the wall of the house and used the house as a shield. King Spider thought I couldn't attack. That was the first time King Spider let its guard down.
I gathered magical power in both hands, and as if to clear up my past, I released a wind magic that could destroy a house.
"Blow away!" (Yuna)
The wind turned into a tornado, and it raised, engulfing King Spider and the collapsing house.
"Damn!" (Deborane)
"Deborane-san!" (Lanz)
In addition to the destroyed house, King Spider, Deborane, and Lanz were also in the tornado.
I stopped the tornado and jump into the debris. I was heading straight for King Spider.
A disgusting face appears in front of me. His mouth twitches and his eyes widen at me.
This was my first and last patience.
"As expected, you won't be able to escape in the air." (Yuna)
My left and right hands hold mithril knives. The black bear puppet had a bear knife with a black handle. The white bear puppet had a white-handled bear knife.
With the bear's wind magic, it might just be able to knock it away. It might also withstand other magic.
Therefore, I used the Mithril Knife to make sure I defeated it.
I put magical power into the two knives.
The king spider closed its mouth, its body turned red, and the golden pattern on its crown appeared.
It's completely defensive.
This was my only chance.
There might not be a second time.
I didn't cut the king spider's body, only the legs and joints.
I swung down Kumayuru Knife.
Without any resistance, King Spider's leg was cut off.
Even though it was hardened by magic, it seems like it couldn't protect against my magical mithril knife.
The joints seemed to be the weakest part.
Because the joints were bent, they were inevitably softer than other parts. Moreover, it was a highly flexible spider. There was a limit to how hard it could be.
And my Kumayuru knife and Kumakyu knife cut the king spider's eight legs.
At the same time, I was in the air, and as if being pulled by gravity, I fell to the ground along with King Spider and the destroyed house.
As I land on the ground, a broken house fell behind me, making a terrible sound.
Then, King Spider's body, now only its torso, rolled in front of me.
It couldn't run away now.
When I approach the King Spider, it made a final effort to open its mouth and tried to spit out the thread.
I held back my disgust and stabbed the knife in to deliver the finishing blow.
It's over.
I turned around and see the destroyed house.
"The deaths of these two were not in vain." (Yuna)
I was sure Deborane and Lanz were crushed under this collapsed house...
"Don't just kill me!"
"Are you planning on killing us?"
"Huh?" (Yuna)
The moment I saw Deborane and Lanz emerged from the rubble complaining, I laughed.
"Don't laugh" (Deborane)
That's impossible.
After all, Deborane and Lanz were being hugged like princesses by Kumayuru and Kumakyu, so it's impossible to tell them not to laugh when I saw this.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Deborane and Lanz being hugged by Kumayuru and Kumakyu again.
"Bear! Just let go!" (Deborane)
Deborane went wild in Kumayuru's arms.
"Please let them both go." (Yuna)
""Kuu~n"" (Kuma-Kuma)
Kumayuru and Kumakyu threw Deborane and Lanz onto the ground as if they were throwing away trash.
"Stay"
"Don’t throw!"
Well, the result was this.
Had Deborane and Lanz stay in the vacant house. When Kumayuru was ready, I asked him to cry, and then used the detection skill to locate Kumayuru.
After confirming its location, Kumakyu (and Kumayuru, who joined us) and I guided King Spider to the house.
Then, when I confirmed that the King Spider was attached to the house, I used magic to send the whole house flying into the sky.
Spiders could run quickly on the ground, but they couldn't move through the air.
King Spider must had thought that I couldn't attack because there were people inside the house.
Its high intelligence became its enemy.
The rest was that I defeated the King Spider in the air, and Kumayuru and Kumakyu secured Deborane and Lanz who were in the air.
Deborahne and Lanz agreed to this plan, although they might suffer some injuries.
However, I asked Kumayuru and Kumakyu to save the collapsed house and Deborane and Lanz who flew away, but they were reluctant to do so.
Well, I didn't want to hold Deborane in my arms either (it's possible because I had bear gear).
As promised, I needed to give them honey, a bath, and sleep with them.
"Damn, she was so merciless that I thought I was going to die when she sent the house flying through the air." (Deborane)
"I thought I was dead the moment I flew into the sky." (Lanz)
"But you took on the role of acting as a decoy." (Yuna)
When Deborane heard my story, he looked annoyed, but when I told him I would defeat her, he accepted.
"I don't like you, but I recognize that you're capable." (Deborane)
"Because it was Deborane-san's instructions." (Lanz)
If this were Fina or Noah, I would never be able to do this. I wouldn't let them do it in the first place, and I wouldn't ask them to do it.
Of course, even villagers I didn't know couldn't do it.
Because it was just the two of them, I was able to blow away the entire house with magic without any hesitation.
In the future, if I need a decoy, it might be a good idea to ask those two people. A person I can cast magic on without hesitation was a valuable person.
"But, as promised, I will receive all the spider materials." (Deborane)
Deborane said while looking at the defeated King Spider.
"That's about it." (Yuna)
"I thought I told you. Even if you told you wanted it later, I wouldn't give it up." (Deborane)
"No, I just want you to use a little bit for this village." (Yuna)
Deborane and Lanz looked at the village.
Me and Deborane. Above all, the village was in a terrible state due to the spiders running rampant.
Lanz said earlier that some horses were injured, and crops were also damaged.
There was also a house that I destroyed.
As with anything, reconstruction costed money.
"Normally we get paid for helping, but I guess that's enough." (Deborane)
Deborane thought for a moment and answered.
I thought he would be reluctant, but this was unexpected.
"But it's really over now." (Lanz)
"Ah" (Yuna)
It's not Lanz's words, but it's really over.
It was supposed to be an easy request to subdue the Tiger Wolf, but I was extremely tired.
I reaffirmed that there was no opponent harder to fight than someone who run away.
We headed to the village chief's house to report our subjugation.
"It's all over." ()
Deborane called out to the house, and the village chief came out.
"Really?" (Chief)
After that, I went around the village with the village chief to confirm the subjugation.
The village chief looked disappointed at the amount of damage to the village, but when Deborane told him that a portion of the monster we subjugated would be used as reconstruction funds, he seemed happy and thanked Deborane many times.
Deborane said, "That's what the bear ordered," and he thanked me as well.
It seemed that the house was provided as an empty house, but it was still one of the most important houses in the village.
He then told the villagers who were hiding inside their homes that the spider was gone.
However, they couldn't leave the house because of the spider's thread, so Deborane and Lanz used knives to cut the thread that is tangled in the door.
It's going to be difficult to deal with all the threads that are wrapped around the house.
When I worried, the strength of the house increased, so I said I would leave it as it was.
Of course, eliminate threads attached to doorways and windows.
When the villagers came out of their houses, they thanked Deborane and Lanz.
No one thanked me. On the contrary, they looked at me as if they were looking at something strange.
It seemed like they were cooped up inside the house at the instructions from Deborane and Lanz and didn't look outside.
When they went outside the house, the spider had been killed. Everyone thought Deborane and Lanz beat them.
I didn't think anyone would have been saved by a girl wearing a bear costume.
"Then I'll go home, but please take care of the rest." (Yuna)
After rescuing the villagers, I decided to go home. If it's late, Fina and the others would be worried.
Well, all I had to do is tell them about the current situation via Bearphone, but it didn't make me feel anxious.
"If you're going to go home first, please report to the adventurer's guild." (Deborane)
Ah, certainly, if this was all it takes, it would be necessary.
"Also, there may still be spiders left in the forest. A report about that. It's up to this village whether to send out a request to an adventurer to explore the forest, but this time, I'm assuming you'll hand over all the spiders. I'm telling you, you should get the money from there." (Deborane)
"Are you being kind? Are you planning something?" (Yuna)
"What are you saying? I'm a kind man." (Deborane)
"Keep your jokes to your face." (Yuna)
If Deborahne was kind, he wouldn't snub the newbie.
However, I did admit that he seemed like an adventurer.
However, as Deborane said, it would be better to report to the Adventurer's Guild as soon as possible.
"Okay. Shall I let Deborane defeat me?" (Yuna)
I would give the material, and it would be easier to explain.
"Don't be silly! How can I take a monster you haven't even defeated! Besides, if they think I can defeat the King Spider, then the next time the King Spider appears, I'll be forced to fight. Because I don’t want to be." (Deborane)
Even if he pretended to have defeated a strong monster, it is not his own ability. I agreed that it's annoying when the same monster appeared and they thought you could defeat it.
A pretense that didn't match your stature would only destroy you.
Then, I left the rest to Deborane and Lanz and left the village.
Author's Note
Deborane was not sacrificed but was held in the princess's arms by Kumayuru.
I wonder who wins.
