High School Hack and Slash Chapter 113 Part 2
「Are there, second helping?」
「By all means.」
「Sheesh, it can’t be helped.」
Kurumi-senpai, who is grinning in a good mood for some reason, goes back to the kitchen with a huff.
「Nmm~, so delicious! I never would have thought that I would be able to eat such a feast in the dungeon.」
「Let’s agree on it. What we have been fed with up until now was nothing more than pig feed.」
「… Delicious.」
The three of them are devouring their sandwiches with gusto.
Looking at the haggard state they were in when we sheltered them, I was worried that they might have been traumatized, but how should I put it, they’re perfectly normal.
「I believe it was a kind of shock therapy.」
What was it that was shocking, I wonder?
I wonder if it was the vibrating compactor punishment.
「Here it is. I’ve brought you another helping. But still, you guys sure eat a lot, too, don’t you~?」
「It’s because the sandwiches you make are so good, Kurumi! If you open a store in the town, I’ll go there every day.」
Kurumi-senpai is a little embarrassed by the straightforward words of praise.
「That’s right! Together with Darling, you should transfer to the States, Kurumi. I may not look like it, but I have quite a bit of influence in the organization (Hexagon), after all. Let’s go together!」
「What manner of joke are you spouting now, you muscle-brain bitch? My Lord is a great man who will become one of the『Thirteen Apostles』. So it stands to reason for us to be the one to welcome him.」
「… Delicious.」
Rin-chan, who continues to stuff her cheeks like a squirrel, is so cute.
I’d like another bowl of soup too.
I’m being vigorously pulled from both sides by Veronica and Seraphina, and I feel like I’m about to be ripped in half, just like in the folk tale.
「Enough, is enough.」
The cold, deep voice freezes the air.
「Know your place. You southern barbarians who have no sense of propriety.」
Saki, quietly standing up, narrows her eyes.
Saki-san, who has ended up coming to have her switches flipped rather easily lately, shifts into serial killer mode and unlocks the mouth sheath of her katana.
I wonder if the fact that Shizuka’s words get ignored has gotten on her nerves.
「… No, you’re bound to accumulate stress after being made to listen to ō yes ō yes all night long.」
「You have a point.」
「Fufufu. Interesting. I’ve always had an interest in Japanese samurai, you know. Come now, let’s take it outside!」
「The Eastern Samurai I’ve heard in the rumors, was it? Very well. Now then, let me show you my spear handling.」
「I’ll let you lick the dirt for your after-meal dessert.」
「Hee, so you use a spear too, Sera-chan. Then let’s try having a go with me too.」
「It, it looks like a duel is about to begin.」
「That sounds interesting~. Let’s go watch too~.」
「Serie-chan, wait.」
Not only Saki, but Otoha-senpai as well as Mirin and the others also end up following them one after another.
The remaining members are enjoying their after-meal tea in a laid back manner, just like Shizuka.
「Rather, will it be okay, that?」
「I believe Saki will go easy on them.」
Shizuka glosses Seiichi’s words over, but I think she will probably go for lopping their head off all of a sudden.
The words known as going easy don’t exist in Saki’s dictionary.
Well, based on what I can see through the Interface, I get the feeling that Seraphina, who is of the『War Maiden (Valkyrie)』 class, although her level is low, will be a good match against Otoha-senpai.
What about Veronica, I wonder?
I can’t say for sure since the strength of GR classes varies so much.
「Well, speaking of the usual, then it’s certainly the same as usual, but really, things sure get lively each and every single time, I suppose.」
Rinko-senpai, whose hair is still a little ruffled, smiles bitterly.
It’s not good for the skin, so I think it’s a good idea to properly sleep during night time.
「The you-know-what thing, it’s a bit tough to deal with, you see… Somehow or other, we’ve managed to get it into shape, but I suppose even now Mikan-chan is still tending to it and waving her hammer at it all the time. It’s a bad habit of ours to lose sight of the world around us when we get engrossed in something, you see.」
「I have no choice but to do force-feeding for both supper and breakfast, you know. Not only to Mikan, but to everyone else too.」
Kurumi-senpai, her arms folded, snorts in a huff.
Kurumi-senpai really is everyone’s mother.
「Ahn. Err, good morning.」
I wonder if they have deliberately chosen their timing.
The trio of Tatsuya-kun and the others come down from the stairs leading to the living quarters on the second floor.
Things got so animated due to the duel affair, so it seems that we’ve ended up making them be considerate.
By the way, the noise outside is getting very lively, but I don’t seem to hear any death throes scream, so there’s no problem.
「Um, good, morning….」
Behind Tatsuya-kun, in addition to Honami-san, Riru-san, whom we had rescued yesterday, also comes with him.
The reason why her gaze is awkwardly swimming around seems to be because she hasn’t gotten over a long of things yet.
Fear has yet to cease from her face, which, unlike Honami-san who seems to be of the quiet type, seems to be somewhat strong-willed.
Considering her circumstances, isn’t that only natural, I wonder?
That side who went「hā hā, kəˈmän kəˈmän」 or「hnnuu aaaaah」 and happily let out screams is the strange one.
「I’ve heard the story from Tatsuya. He said you guys challenged this raid in order to rescue us… So umm, thank you.」
「Yeah.」
It’s not like we’ve come to this raid with rescue being our sole purpose either, so there’s no need to mind it that much.
She seemed to have been pretty out of it yesterday, but thanks to the antidote as well as Tatsuya-kun’s care, she seems to have recovered.
「This leaves two more people, am I right?」
「Yes. They’re Shinnosuke and… Yuka-chan.」
Tatsuya nods his head at Shizuka’s confirmation.
Based on the map search of the raid domain, they should be in either the north or east area.
During our exploration of the west area yesterday, we crushed the red skull mecha minotaur, and this time the boundary barrier of the east area has been lifted.
Today, the plan is to make another contact with the group of Gunners who were in the east area.
If we take our sweet time too much, I get the feeling that another group of raiders will jump the gun on us and snatch the main boss away.
However, when it comes to the raid this time, we have no fixation about crushing the boss.
To be honest, I do want to try fighting it, but the rescue operation is our top priority, and what I am looking forward to in terms of rewards is the special EXP bonus for clearing the raid.
It seems like it will be distributed to all participants, so I guess it will be the same no matter who subjugates the main boss.
Incidentally, when it comes to raids, it’s said that it is okay to side sweep the boss.
A war where you livelily beat the boss to death with a large number of people, it’d definitely be fun.
「C’mon, don’t just stand absentmindedly in such a place. Sit down and eat your meal at once.」
「Y, yes.」
In front of the three, who sit down at the table upon being urged by Kurumi-senpai, breakfast plates of hearty volume are lined up.
Once we’re done with our meal, let’s decide on the members for today’s sortie, shall we?
I hear someone’s scream echoing from outside, but well, it doesn’t matter.
