Mr. Nobu’s Otherworld Chronicles - Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Budding Ones

 

In the beginning, I Air Bind-ed some mushroom monsters mid-air and let the girls gang up on them, but once they gained some levels, Oltea said this .

"Nobu-niisan . Come on, let us fight the moving ones too . "

I lured one monster toward them while feeling slightly worried about it . I've got 『Provocation』 skill if things are looking bad and they've got Full Protection on, so they should be fine .

My worries turned out unfounded though . Like, my eyes almost popped out watching their incredible teamwork .

A fist sent the monster flying after a whip struck down its legs . Then Tino-chan and Mashu's wind magic delivered the finishing blow .

Another monster got its legs Wind Bind-ed, then Oltea proceeded to beat it to a pulp on a mount position . Savage, just savage . Meanwhile, Gana and Tino-chan lured in another monster . Oltea welcomed them back with an enraptured look on her face .

They kept gaining levels afterward . I let Mashu took some breaks along the way since I hadn't used Differing Souls on them yet, but once Tino-chan learned Spirit Magic, the pace went up dramatically . Aren't you girls already competent enough to work as adventurers? Was what crossed my mind .


"Wind Spirit-san, feed on my mana and tie that monster up!"

A D-Lostshroom flailed on the ground like a caterpillar .


That was when Gana with a rapier and Oltea with a club, or rather a bat, beat the crap out of it . A monster I and Tama-chan once struggled hard against . Don't think anyone could blame me for having a distant look for a bit here .




Whoa, a Stealth Bat is creeping in on them from behind . Looks like they don't notice it?
I put my hand on Lunar Cat before immediately drawing it .





"Martial Art - 『Magic Blade - Severing Slash』 . "

A slash flew off Lunar Cat, cutting the Stealth Bat in two .

I only realized later on that my Katana skill level had gone up right before I was knocked out during my mock battle against Temuro-san . This is the weapon skill I learned .

『Magic Blade - Severing Slash』
Flying slash . Converts all kinds of things like mana, fighting spirits, life forces into flying slashes different from wind cuts .
Koji Hermett is said to be an ancestor of samurai . He is said to massacre a sentient iron giant-like foe with this technique sharpened to the extreme .


Thank god . Finally an ordinarily usable weapon skill!
And a very flexible one at that . A ranged attack for a situation where magic usage is not possible, awesome . I'm not gonna comment on that last part though!

Tino-chan and Mashu were surprised to see a Stealth Bath suddenly falling behind them .
They glanced at me but went back to focusing when I pointed at the monster . Mitama would have shoot down the Stealth Bat with her intuition, Futsuno-san would have a barrier to defend herself . I suppose this is a difference in combat experience . That said, this is their first real battle after all, they've made a good progress all things considered . I was much worse when I just started out after all .

"Nobu-niisama, thank you so much . "

"I messed up . Thanksies Nobu-oniichan . "

"Yup, I may be watching your back but don't let your guard down . "

I'm actually in the middle of a certain training myself right now .
Per Sefi-san's suggestion, I keep constructing magic compositions while watching over these children . And not just one or two magic .
When I consulted to Sefi-san about how my magic got easily canceled in my match against Temuro-san, she told me, 'Nobu-chan's magic kinds of feel like it's brute forced through sheer amount of mana . It's like you're forcing your way to make it happen~ . I'd suggest training your mind to process multiple things in parallel here~' .
At any rate, composition of my magic will get better if I just persevere on this training, apparently .






Whoops, looks like the girls are done exterminating all monsters around this area while I wasn't looking .
Let's see here now, how strong you girls have gotten .

Name: Gana - Gender: Female - Age: 11 - Race: Vampira
Class: Vampira Lv15 (up!) - State: Healthy
Title: None
【Skills】
Grappling Lv2 - Whip Lv2 (new!) - Rapier Lv2 (new!) - Small Shield Lv1 (new!) - Darkness Magic Lv2 - Life Magic

【Unique Skills】
Levellit's Protection (Large Serving)

【Racial Skills】
Bloodsucking Lv2

By the way, I've lifted the curse off Gana . According to her, the people who caught her put the curse on her to prevent her from acting out . Thus, I modified Dispel Curse spell into a curse back magic [Retribution] to return the curse back to its caster . Since I put a stupid amount of mana into it, it should turn pretty grim on that side .

Levellit's Protection (Large Serving)

She's learned some weird skills . Balls she throw would make a curve before hitting monsters . I don't get the mechanic, but that's just how the weapon skill works apparently . As a sidenote, techniques hailing from the east are called 'Bugi' (martial art), while all others are called Weapon Skills .

【Unique Skills】
Levellit's Protection (Large Serving)

Tino-chan has learned spirit magic . From what that gentleman lolicon Gerukkun told me back then, apparently elves can borrow powers from spirits by feeding them mana . Tino-chan seems to have the aptitudes for wind spirits and water spirits . For the time being, these are the only two people(?) she can borrow powers from .


『Levellit's Protection (Large Serving)』
Additional protection bestowed by Levellit, goddess who governs over growth and talent . Gives plus rate to experience and skill points gained, in and out of battle .
『Can't win against temptation of tasty stuff . No regret . 』 from Goddess .


Regret a bit! Geez, fine I'll offer her an extra serving of soy milk pudding and honey syrup when I get back later . I-It's not like I'm doing it for you!


Like anyone's excited with my tsundere-ness .


Nevertheless no-goddess's protection notwithstanding, these girls' growth is pretty fascinating . They've been devising up new ways to beat monsters with each encounter . I feel a bit jealous since I was all alone when I trained here .

Then, while I was thinking our plan next, a shrill scream and an abnormal-sounding voice reached us .


"Stopiiiiiiiiiiiitnooooooooooooooo"

"kikikiki, ill, ill, ill, ill, kill kill kill kill kill, let's kill kill kill 'em alllll"

The children are looking at me with frightened looks on their faces, not knowing what to do .

"I'll go take a look, you girls go hide behind something with Tama-chan . Don't get too close, okay . "

They all nodded together .

I invoked Space Camouflage and ran toward the source of the noise .
