The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 66 Part 1
Your Everyday Thugs
The next morning, I wake up to the smell of breakfast. I went pretty reckless as I fought monsters last night, but perhaps thanks to my automatic recovery, I am feeling much better. The duckboard bed is also pretty comfortable.
Over breakfast, Cronin begins to explain our plan for the day. We will divide the warrior order into four groups, two for the morning and two for the afternoon, and each group will go to the rooms where the monsters are, defeat them, raise their level, and collect the magic stones. As a porter, I am to follow the warrior order both in the morning and in the afternoon and dismantle the monsters.
「Hmm, it appears that Marianne-sama has not woken up yet. Well, in that case, let’s ask Marianne-sama to join the afternoon group.」
Last night Marianne had climaxed continuously for about two hours, so she must be sound asleep now. Haa, just remembering the sight of Marianne writhing in pleasure is enough to make the blood rush to the lower half of my body. Somehow or another, I hope I can serve her again today.
I go with the morning group and dismantle the monsters defeated by the warrior order members. Holding up their shields as a group and putting emphasis on defense, taking the fight to a war of attrition, they manage to exterminate the monsters without even being poisoned. As expected, this is how group battles should be done. In Marianne’s case, she seems to be rampaging around as she pleases. I guess she needs to learn what so-called coordination.
The group I am with clear out the monsters in four rooms throughout the morning and return to the campground. Marianne is wielding her great sword.
Sporting a good complexion and sweating moderately, Marianne is the epitome of a beautiful female athlete. She does not put on perfume, but along with the smell of sweat, she is enveloped in a thick womanly smell. She is a picture-perfect woman.
After lunch, I follow Marianne’s group and dismantle the monsters.
「Haa, there is no stratum lord, huh. Boring.」
The stratum lord has been subjugated by other adventurers. It is unknown when it was defeated, so if we are lucky, we may be able to fight it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
After clearing out the enemies in one room, there are almost no more monsters left in this stratum. Finally, it is time to head to the twelfth stratum.
「Marianne-sama, in the twelfth stratum, spotted vipers and peckers will begin to appear. We have a limited supply of mid-grade green potions, so please proceed in a battle formation that focus on defense.」
Cronin the hard worker is repeatedly telling Marianne about the importance of formation. Marianne seems to be obediently listening to what he says.
As soon as we go to the twelfth stratum, we no longer see any figures of adventurers. As expected, the fatality rate must be high on this stratum. As soon as we go down the passageway, enemies show up. Even though we are in the vicinity of the stairs, there are a lot of enemies. No adventurers must have approached this place for a while.
There are two peckers and five cutter locusts. The warrior order members set up their shields with Marianne at the center. The peckers are still at a distance, so they take care of the locusts that are flying toward them. At that moment.
「Marianne-sama, the peckers are coming!」
Cronin shouts, and the peckers, which are still more than 10 meters away, close the distance at once. The pecker is a bird-like creature with long legs and a large, thick beak. Marianne quickly puts out her shield, but ends up getting pushed back as she blocks the fierce beak attack with her shield. Be it its speed or attack power, it is a monster you need to be careful of. Marianne quickly returns to the front line, and they slaughter the monsters one after another by sheer force of numbers. I see, it seems that as long as you know the enemy’s attack pattern and don’t let guard down, you can defeat them without any problems.
I quickly dismantle the monsters and take out the magic stones. It seems that pecker’s meat also tastes good, so I put it into my storage.
When we enter the nearby room, there seems to be thirty, no, more than forty monsters. Fundamentally, it is the same as the eleventh stratum, but in addition to the frogs’ water bullets, there are locusts above, and scorpions and rats below. They are extremely difficult to fight. The warrior order groups up and puts up their defense as they attack the monsters. Among the monsters, there are some with the rank of 15, making it a stratum that cannot be dealt with ordinary means. As opposed to charging forward on her own, Marianne is cooperating with the members of the warrior order. It seems that little by little, she is learning how to fight in a group. If it is like this, they may be able to subjugate the labyrinth lord in the near future.
In about an hour or so, they manage to exterminate the enemies. I quickly dismantle the monsters. There are two treasure chests. The warrior order members look tired, but Marianne alone is still overflowing with energy. Everyone sleeps on the floor in sleeping bags, but Marianne alone gets to take a bath and sleep for 10 hours in a soft bed. The difference is so huge that I feel bad for comparing the two. Marianne seems to be dissatisfied, but when Cronin advises her to withdraw, she reluctantly accepts. Well, from the sole fact that she accepts his advice, it means that Marianne has matured up, too.
We return to the campground on the eleventh stratum, but there is still time until dinner, and we are free to do whatever we want. So I say, but there is hardly anything you can do in the labyrinth, and the best you can do is rest. People are gathering around the warrior order members who are laying out cards.
「Say, come with me.」
「Yes, ma’am… Umm, shouldn’t we inform Cronin-sama?」
「No need.」
Will it really be okay? Even if we don’t inform him, I mean. But if I offend Marianne, she might end up canceling my evening service. Let’s obediently follow her here.
Marianne goes into the nearby room to check it out. The warrior order members have already cleared up the area, so there are no monsters or perhaps only a few monsters left. Well, it is just right for Marianne to vent her excess energy. If it is the monsters on this stratum, there is little worry that she will suffer any injuries, after all. Heading to the fifth room, Marianne gets to defeat two monsters, and when I am dismantling them, some adventurers come in. They are a party of five, and their eyes are somewhat sharp. They are securitizing us and talking quietly about something. Hmm, I have nothing but a bad feeling about this. Marianne is pretty worn out, and the opponents are five in number. There is some distance to the campground.
There are no monsters in this room, so there should be no reason for those adventurers to stay here. I take my time dismantling the monsters until those guys leave.
「Sei, how long are you going to take your time dismantling it?!」
I end up getting yelled at by Marianne, who cannot read the air. I put the meat and magic stones from the frogs I just dismantled into my storage. The act ends up getting seen by the adventurers. Now that they find out that I am a porter, a non-combat job, it is clear that in their eyes Marianne is the only one with a combat job, and who knows if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
Done dismantling the monster, we head for the exit, but as expected, we end up having our way blocked.
「This one is a fine find. Her equipment is also first-class. Oi, put down your gear and get naked. Worry not, we won’t go as far as taking your life, after all. In exchange, I’m going to have you keep all of us here company.」
「Hehehehe.」
Five against two, huh. It seems that Marianne’s face is not widely known among adventurers. Well, I doubt there is any chance for adventurers and the warrior order to work together, after all. Even if there are, it is not certain that Marianne will participate.
The strength of these men is unknown, but at the very least, they are a party with enough strength to come to the eleventh stratum. Not only is Marianne’s remaining magical energy not so heartening, fatigue must have accumulated inside her. The only saving grace is the fact that these guys are letting their guard down. They are underestimating me, thinking of me as a mere porter, so I am going to let them have a taste of my surprise attack, courtesy of my iron balls.
