Chapter 8-Simon's Miscalculation and Misunderstanding (Thunder Pike Perspective)

 

{SPONSORED CHAPTER}

 

(This chapter was made possible by our patron Krazey)

 

(TL: By Rafael)

 

(* From the perspective of "Knight" Simon, the leader of "Thunder Pike")

...... In any case, the situation is not good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Is it because of the new members who have temporarily joined?

 

 

 

 Perhaps we should have worked together a little more before we left.

 

 

 

"Barry!  We're getting reinforcements from the West Passage, demon monsters!  Please!"

 

"Don't be silly!  We've got our hands full!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It's no good, we can't withstand the demon monsters at this rate.

 

 

 

 They'll push us away.

 

 

 

"Rookie Cork!  Hold them off!

 

"There's no way I can do that!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The new member is a B-ranked "Ranger/Thief".

 

 

 

 I'm not sure what to make of it.

 

 

 

 No. ...... But even so, the demons are too strong today. I'm not sure what to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I've been in this labyrinth of the ruins of King Aurias' castle many times before.

 

 

 

 The highest point we have reached is the 17th level.

 

 

 

 But for some reason, we're stuck on the fourth level and so on today.

 

 

 

"There's something wrong!  The demon monsters are too strong!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 

 

 

 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

 

 

 

 However, the strength is clearly different from before. It is quick, hard, and sharp.

 

 

 

"What's going on? Are the demon monsters getting stronger than before?"

 

"What are you talking about, ......?  Why did you decide to dive here with such ability, ......?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The newcomer, Cork, has a strange look on his face.

 

 

 

"I'm not sure what to say."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 One of the crocodile-headed direwolves had broken through the vanguard and was biting Jamie.

 

 

 

 I can't believe he got through so easily!

 

 

 

"Damn it!  Jamie!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I wanted to go help him, but there were three crocodile-headed direwolves in front of me.

 

 

 

 If I turn my back on them, they'll jump on me in a heartbeat.

 

 

 

 But I have to do something quickly. ...... Jamie is already limping from being swung around while being bitten.

 

 

 

"Camilla, get some recovery magic!

 

"I have no more magic left!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 That's ridiculous!

 

 

 

 It hasn't been that long since we dove in, you know?

 

 

 

 Normally, we'd have made it to the fifth level with time to spare!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Why? 

 

  

 

 What's different?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

 

 

 

"Damn it!"

 

 

 I'm going to hit the crocodile-headed direwolf in the back while I can!

 

 

 

"Cork, cover me!

 

"I'm trying!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I let go of the stuck Jamie and rush at the Crocodile Wolf Dire Wolf that was about to attack the monk Camilla.

 

 

 

 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

 

 

 

(I killed it!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I was convinced of this, but the flash of my all-out effort failed to kill the crocodile-headed dire wolf.

 

 

 

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ......, but I was able to drive the Crocodile Wolf Dire Wolf away from the rear guard position.

 

 

 

 Now is our chance.

 

 

 

"Let's retreat!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I picked up Jamie, who was still breathing, and ran toward the stairs.

 

 

 

"Cork, please take the lead!  Use your arrows to slow them down!

 

"Don't be absurd!  You're killing me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Without listening to the leader's orders, Cork runs alongside me.

 

 

 

 In the back, Barry and Camilla were being chased by the Crocodile Wolf Dire Wolf.

 

 

 

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

 

 

 

"Huh, huh ......, somehow we managed to escape."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I finally made it to the stair area and took a breath.

 

 

 

"Jamie, are you okay?  ......Jamie?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When I put Jamie down on the floor, he was breathing shallowly and looking pale.

 

 

 

"Camilla, can you still use your recovery magic?"

 

"'I'll meditate and recover my magic. Please give me some time.

 

"Where are the mana potions?"

 

"I don't have it."

 

 

 

 I knew something was wrong.

 

 

"Gahh...... hugh...... hugh......"

 

 

 

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a good idea.

 

 

 

 It seemed as if Jamie's heart was about to stop.

 

 

 

"Yes, a healing potion!  Does anyone have it?"

 

"I don't have it. That's the job of the scullery maid."

 

"Then cork!  Do you have any?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In response to my question, the hunter reluctantly pulls out a small bottle.

 

 

 

"Thank you. Now, give it to me."

 

"You know what?  This is my money, this is my medicine, and I have no reason to give it to you."

 

"What are you talking about?  My friends are dying here!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

 

 

 

"I'm not sure how you can act like that when your friends' lives are at stake."

 

"You're the one who told me I had to pay for my own supplies when I joined, aren't you?  Don't take it for granted."

 

"Damn it, ......!  Anyway, it concerns Jamie's life now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

 

 

 

 The rest is just a matter of luck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A few hours later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When I managed to save Jamie and returned to Finis, the sun had already set.

 

 

 

 

 

 This was the first time since the formation of Thunderpike that something like this had happened, and it was all due to the selfishness and unworthiness of this new member.

 

 

 

 As the leader of the group, I have to say something very clearly.

 

 

 

"Cork, your attitude is unbecoming of a fellow member."

 

"Yeah, I don't want you guys here. I was wondering how good the up-and-coming Thunderpikes were, but I had no idea they couldn't even figure out their own abilities."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm not sure I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not good enough.

 

 

 

 It's a good idea to have a better grasp of what you're doing.

 

 

 

"If you want to continue to work with us, you should not make such comments."

 

"......"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 After a pause, Cork shouted.

 

 

 

"I can't do this!  I'm out of here!"
