High School Hack and Slash Chapter 91 Part 2
As I pat her on the back, she starts sniffing on me, so I guess she should be okay now.
While soothing Shizuka, I take another look at our surroundings.
The Interface message displays that we’re at the 15th stratum, but it feels pretty flimsy.
The pressure I feel from the surroundings is light.
Besides, I believe that the 15th stratum was a major resource operation of a stratum where ogres and minotaurs attacked you without a break.
If I have to guess, it’s likely that the surrounding parties have hunted down and exhausted the monsters.
As expected of the charted domain.
Most likely, not satisfied with just annihilating the monsters, the parties are killing and devouring each other in accordance to their striving instinct.
It’s a scene of carnage just as I had expected.
As I thought, we ought to continue to steadily hunt monsters on the uncharted map, as we have been.
Even now, the surrounding parties, who are assuming a taken aback face and are observing the situation as such, are showing signs that they are waiting for the right moment to attack.
Should I try launching a preemptive attack, I’m a little unsure.
All of them have SP bars displayed above them without fail, so it looks like it would be more challenging than fighting at the academy above ground.
「Very well. It’s time to strike.」
Victory goes to the one who makes the first move, they say.
As I’m about to step forward to offer to send a couple of them back to the above ground for the time being, I’m stopped by Shizuka, who is embracing me.
「Touma-san. I believe looking for those girls and regrouping should take precedence.」
「Hmm… You have a point.」
I’m unsure about where to go with my raised fist, but I guess it would be better to wait until everyone is here before enjoying party vs. party battles.
I mustn’t forget our original purpose, which is to earn EXP for the quartet.
Shizuka, using『Prayer (Wish)』, which is an all-around handy skill for what it’s worth, identifies the direction where Mirin and the others are.
As I hold Shizuka in a princess carry, I jump over the parties that are showing a stunned look.
◇ ◇ ◇
As if thrown out of a momentary levitation sensation, they had logged into that place.
Given the fact that there was no ceiling that the sky they were looking up at, they could immediately tell that it wasn’t the stratum they had set as their destination.
「Hau~.」
「… This place, where is it, I wonder?」
Serie, lending a hand to Nodoka, who was falling on her buttocks, looked around at their surroundings.
They were the only party members who had ended up being sent to the same coordinates.
Several rocky mountains and desolate rocky areas.
There signs of vegetation, which was a kind of null mob, were also few in number.
This was also a characteristic of the charted domain, where the miasma concentration was lower than the stratum control value.
「H, here we are. Senpai, we’ve come!」
「… Huh?」
This was the login point registered by the boy who had intercepted to obstruct the transfer and used himself as the coordinate marker.
The trap point where they had intended to forcefully send Touma and his party to.
『B』 ranked club, an outlaw group that excelled at party-killing.
『Hungry Wolf Warband (Wolfsritter)』
It was the base point that they had used as their hunting ground.
The upperclassman boys, who based on the visible ones alone numbered more than twenty, were so lax that it was hard to believe they were in the dungeon.
Just as there were those who were half-naked and seated on the rocky area, there were also those who were sitting down.
「The heck… A『Dancer』 and … 『Universal Beginner (Ultimate Novice)』? The heck is that?」
A member who squinted his eyes read Serie and Nodoka’s classes at a glance.
It was the reading skill of the Assessor, one of the superior classes of the Officer branching.
The fact that he could easily see through them meant that he was obviously someone of higher level.
While engaging the ass of the girl he had brought into the dungeon for nothing but sex, he clicked his tongue and spat.
「Tch. I told you to go kidnap a Craftsman, didn’t I? Are you guys idiots?!」
As he nailed his hips irritably, the buttocks flesh raised a smacking sound.
「Haa, these guys are so useless. Truly useless.」
A member sitting on the rock, holding the head of a kneeling girl and making her suck his dick, glared at the two trembling first-year boys.
「Oioi, stop it, dude. Don’t you feel sorry for them? They’re crazy scared, duh. You’ve properly taken a Craftsman you, don’t you?」
In front of the member leaning against the rock wall with his hands folded behind his head, a girl bent forward with her hands placed on her knees was shaking her buttocks, which were pressed against the position of the boys’ crotches.
All of the girls, who were used for sex and were stripped naked as soon as they logged in, sported cloudy eyes drowning in carnal desires.
「Y, yes. There’s no mistaking it that there’s a Craftsman in their party.」
「Th, they seem to be close, so I’m sure they’ll come looking for them!」
「You did a login interception, didn’t you? If they were randomly transferred, I guess they would be nearby.」
The members of the Hungry Wolf Warband, who had immobilized Serie and Nodoka who were trying to run away, were grinning as they assessed the two of them.
「Hmm~, this chick, I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere.」
「No.」
The member who grabbed Serie’s chin tilted his head.
「Well, whatever. She’s got a pretty cute face, and we’ve got the chance anyway, so the Hungry Wolf Warband (we) will play with her.」
◇ ◇ ◇
The two girls running across the rocky area were out of breath.
「Haa, haa… Th, they’re still chasing us.」
「G, geez, they’re really persistent!」
If there were those who were chased, there were those who were chasing.
Even though they had lost sight of them, the ones who were tracking the two, following their scent, were a group of orcs.
The orcs that appeared in the 『Yomotsu Hirasaka』dungeon were also noted as『pig-headed human』.
They boasted a huge frame, one size larger than that of a human, and a head similar to that of a pig or boar.
While huffing and squealing, all of them were chasing after the two with their crotches uniformly standing up.
It was obvious what kind of suffering awaited them if they were caught.
「At, at this rate, we won’t be able to get away.」
「Wh, what to do now? If we get caught, we will definitely be raped like crazy, you know.」
Mirin and Shinobu, who were unlucky enough to have their login point at an orc colony, continued their desperate escape.
Even within the charted map domain, there were places where miasma was easy to gather, and these were known as monster pop points or colony points.
「I’ve heard that orcs are the representatives of sex monsters, so I absolutely don’t want to go through such a thing.」
The category of『sex monsters』 referred to monsters that were aroused by humans and would conduct sexual deed with them.
It was to the point that, depending on the species, they would suppress their hostile reaction, which was monsters’ basic imprinted behavior, and prioritize sexual deed.
For parties that were defeated by such sex monsters, the cases where the female members ended up returning alive from the dungeon along with memories of the severely traumatizing experiences had occurred.
The Orcs, turning their libido into energy, would likely chase them to the ends of the earth, by no means ever giving up.
Dazzled by sexual desire, let alone there being drop outs among the orcs, they were gradually increasing in number.
The『Demi-human Cave (Ogre Heaven)』 on the 15th stratum of the dungeon was a wasteland with rocky mountains towering here and there.
The rocky mountains and cliffs boasted a structure akin to a gouged out colony, like anthills.
Monsters were gushing forth inexhaustibly from within such tunnels.
Lured by the sex pheromones left in Mirin and Shinobu’s escape route, the pursuing orcs continued to increase in number.
Even though it was unintentional, they were in a state known as『train』.
It was a name that was given from the fact that as someone was fleeing from monsters in the state of taking the tag, in other words being locked on as their target, it would look like a train if they were doing it in the state of holding several tags.
「Haa, haa, what to do? As expected, should we fight?」
「I think we can win if it’s a one-on-one fight. But….」
Even from what Mirin could see alone as she turned around, *thud, thud* orcs numbered more than twenty were chasing after them.
Even if she decided to fight, her main armament was still entrusted to Touma.
Even so, she had the ability (skill) to fight.
「Please go on ahead, Shinobu-chan. I’ll hold them back.」
「There’s no way I can abandon you, Mirin-chan!」
「The right person in the right place. If it’s you, Shnobu-chan, you’ll be able to look for Toma-sama. As long as we can meet up, those pigs will be as good as trash.」
The true strength of the『Officer』 class lied in their wealth of skills related to information.
If it was Shinobu, it was possible to look for the party members who had ended up splitting.
「Even if you don’t make it in time, for argument’s sake, I will properly put an end to it myself at that time, so don’t worry. I would rather die than be raped by those pigs.」
That was suicide in the literal sense of the word.
Whether it was you getting killed by monsters, dying due to traps, or you killing yourself, all were equally subject to the undead system by Rashomon.
For many students at the academy, it was a sensation akin to pressing the reset button on a video game.
It was no more than starting over from the save point.
「But, but, weren’t we told by Toma-sama that we mustn’t die? That it’s not good.」
「… Even so. I’m sure, that the cause of this occurrence is me. The boy who pushed Shinobu-chan was a classmate of mine.」
Even with the boost of being in the dungeon where one could use SP on a flesh that had undergone a class change, there was still a limit to one’s stamina.
Much less the two who were of the rear guard classes.
Stopping in her tracks, Mirin resolved herself and turned around.
「Now, please go! I don’t intend to get done for free either— Summon!」
To activate a skill, image was more important than anything else.
You needed to have conviction that you could do it, without doubting yourself.
Even poses or cool trigger words that were deemed pointless were not useless if they had an effect on self-trance.
「Armed Golem, 『Gawain』!!」
