High School Hack and Slash Chapter 91 Part 1

Charted Domain

―― labyrinth of Perforation Realm 『YGGDRASILL』, attached branch realm 『Yomotsu Hirasaka』 ――

――The『fifteenth』 stratum, 『in charted』 domain――

The dungeon’s tenth stratums and beyond were given common names that indicated the characteristics of the floor.

The 10th stratum, 『Dragon Garden Jungle』

The 11th stratum, 『Desert Savanna』

The 12th stratum,『Eternal Glacier』

The 13th stratum, 『Acid Rain Ruin』

The 14th stratum, 『Land of the Dead (Undead Carnival)』

The 15th stratum, 『Demi-human Cave (Ogre Heaven)』

The 16th stratum, 『Fairyland』

The 17th stratum, 『Ether Sea』

The 18th stratum, 『The Nine Mountains and Eight Seas (Marine Sphere)』

The 19th stratum, 『Mount Purgatory』

The 20th stratum, 『New World』

These were no more than names that the students had arbitrarily called these stratums by.

However, they were also names that expressed the stratums in an easy-to-understand manner.

When it came to stratums categorized as Nature Field, the stratum itself was a single world (open world).

Whether there was an end to the stratum or not, or under what laws the sky and the ground were constructed, it had not yet been clarified.

The only thing they did know was that an environment in which the dungeon challenger could survive had been arranged.

The obstacles that awaited the challengers were by no means roadblocks, but trials that encouraged them to go beyond that point.

The Dungeon 15th stratum, 『Demi-human Cave (Ogre Heaven)』

The characteristic of the stratum was that the monsters that popped up there were all humanoid.

Orcs, trolls, lizardmen, augurs, minotaurs, cyclops, centaurs, and lycanthropes fell under this category.

Though, when it came to ogres, which served as the origin of the name, as well as other higher ranked monsters, they had already been eradicated from the stratum, rendering it to a map that was overflowing with a large number of ocrs, which were at the lower end of the stratum’s control value.

Except for when they occasionally strayed into the domain as『Wandering Monster』, they were mainly encountered as the guardian of the realm gate (gatekeeper).

Such『Demi-human Cave (Ogre Heaven)』 were popular hunting grounds for middle-ranked students.

The reasons for this were that the monsters had no special abilities, and since they were humanoid monsters, drop items from their equipment could be reused.

Above all, their behavioral patterns were similar to those of humans, making it easy to lead those with the urge into a fucking-killing trap.

In particular, easy fucking-hunting utilizing a certain habit of orcs was popular, rendering it into a stratum disliked by female students.

「Hmm.」

A multi-circle login effect danced around.

Touma, one hand on hips and the other one pressed against his forehead, looked around at their surroundings.

The Interface message displayed the stratum in which he had dungeon-dived.

However, he had no recollection of the place.

The place where Touma had logged in was near the realm gate of the 15th stratum『Demi-human Cave (Ogre Heaven)』, in the charted domain.

In his surroundings, there were the figures of several armed parties, all of whom were strangers to him.

The area at the download realm gate, where the miasma concentration was low, was a safe area where monsters did not approach.

It was used as a resting point between hunting, a login point, as well as a place for information sharing between fellow parties.

For Touma and the others, who had been invading the uncharted domain all the time since their first dungeon dive, it was the first that they had even seen the figures of other parties.

「Is this place an area within the controlled map, I wonder?」

「Maybee.」

Shizuka, who had made it a habit to tightly lock onto Touma when they transferred from Rashomon, was looking around at their surroundings.

The number of people who had transferred to this location at the same time was three.

The remaining one was falling on their rear on the ground due to the impact of the irregular transfer.

Gazes from the parties that were in the middle of their break were pointed at Touma and the others, who at a glance were lightly equipped, dressed as if they had dived from the academy grounds into the dungeon as they were.

The coupling of Touma and Shizuka – who was embracing, wrapping her arms around his – gave off an out of place feel to it, as if they had come to the dungeon to go on a date or something.

「It seems that, we’ve been set up into a trap…. They set it up with malicious intent. Yes, they’re enemies, right?」

As Shizuka slowly tilted her head and turned her gaze to their rear, the boy, who was half-rising to his feet and was trying to escape, ceased his movements with a start.

Forcefully intercepting them at the timing of Rashomon’s activation and dragging them into a transfer using himself as the coordinate marker.

It was a malice-smeared prank to be laughed off.

Furthermore, due to them exceeding the maximum number of people for a transfer, an error occurred and their party members had ended up getting transferred to separate locations.

Even so, under normal circumstances, Rashomon’s auto-adjustment safety function kick in, and they would rarely be sent to『inside of a stone』 or to『4,000 meters above the ground』.

「… He, hehe. You dumb bastard. It’s because you got cocky that they have been easily fucked up.」

The boy, having given up on stealthily running away, pulled a dagger from the tactical belt at his waist and readied himself.

The inside of a dungeon was basically a lawless area.

If there were piles reports pertaining to a habitual murderer, they would receive guidance, but if it was just a little skirmish, even the academy would turn a deaf ear to it.

In fact, even the other parties around them were merely watching, grinning and enjoying the show.

「Got cocky, is it?」

Shizuka, who tilted her head to the other side, released Touma’s arm that she had been embracing.

「Yeah, that’s right! To lay your hands even to the girls from our classroom. I just find it sickening, you misunderstood, harem-pretentious bastard!」

The boy, who was raging, started yelling in a loud voice that could be heard by those around them.

In fact, it was probably intended as an appeal.

It was not to raise his own justifiability, but simply to create a situation where he wanted to feel a psychological sense of superiority by abusing the other party.

「But, well, shame on you. We’ve already fucked the shit out of that chick. I mean, rather, property? Don’t you lay your hand on it as you please, you idiot.」

「You half-wit (acedia) insects are, chirping and buzzing….」

Shizuka, eyes narrowed faintly, twisted her face into the shape of a smile.

She spread her hands lightly and stepped carelessly toward the boy who was thrusting his dagger at her.

The boy, grinning and gloating, jumped from his crouched position at once and tried to restrain Shizuka.

He had just gained the『Rogue』 class, a second step class of the『Thief』 branching, which excelled in speed among the archetype classes.

Even though it was an instant power he had gained through power leveling, he could still move at a speed that was unperceivable to ordinary people.

An unarmed girl who didn’t even wear any equipment was no match for him, so he thought.

「H, huh…?」

That was why, rather than feeling dubious to his body that moved simply sluggishly, like a drunkard wobbling on staggered steps, he couldn’t understand why the thin fingertips were digging into his temple.

「It’s exactly because insects buzz in a place beyond people’s sight that they are overlooked, you know….」

A strange sound echoed from his mouth, which was opened in his attempt to let out a scream at the cracking sound and the intense pain of his cranium creaking.

◇ ◇ ◇

 The boy who has been raving and ranting about incomprehensible things is being subjected to an iron claw by Shizuka.

The technique, which is also known as the crown clamp, is a simple yet powerful finishing hold that grabs the enemy’s face in an eagle grip.

That’s what it means to have the greatest vital spot on the human body locked.

Then, I can hear a clacking sound as if the jaw joints have been dislocated, followed by a strange squish-like sound.

「!!!」

I think an inaudible scream is an ultrasonic wave that exceeds the audible range.

Shizuka, tossing something that looks like white splinters away, is lifting up the face of the boy she’s locking with her left hand.

Quite the strong man feels she’s got there.

He has a normal knife in his hand, but he’s ultimately just a boy who has just had a second step class change.

I bet he wouldn’t even be able to penetrate my or Shizuka’s GP armoring.

With that in mind, I left it in Shizuka’s hands, but somehow things don’t look too good.

As I hear another creaking sound, slightly reddish white splinters are thrown away.

The boy who has been suspended in the air and flailing about is convulsing and blowing bubbles.

Those bubbles being a little red too is such a violence.

「To try, to separate… Touma-san, and me… Un, forgivable.」

The sound of something creaking and squeaking is echoing, and if things go on as is, I feel like he will go splat and turn into a splatter.

「That’s enough.」

Rashomon’s transfer trouble has become quite a severe trauma for Shizuka.

I don’t know what the boy wanted to do, but it was tantamount to stepping on the tiger’s tail.

Putting my hand on Shizuka’s slender arm, which is making a creaking sound from her iron claw, I hug her from behind.

For Shizuka, who has been getting a bit emotionally unstable lately, skinship is a wonder drug.

Tossing the spasming boy away, Shizuka turns her body around and embraces me tightly from the front.
