Chapter 51: It appears that some people walk their dogs in giant beast forest

So this is the little bear youre talking about?

Mikoto let the little bear in front of her display its claws and fangs to its satisfaction, she clenched her fist as she set her tea colored eyes on Wu Yan with electricity dancing ominously on her forehead.

Hinagiku also grasped her Shirosakura on the side with a stupefied expression on her face.

It really is a little bear!

He grumbled like this is but common sense, compared to the other beast int he forest this 3 meter stature can only be referred to as small.

When he first arrived at Silvaria, he met a wind snake who at level 10 has a length of nearly 4 meters, there are other tier 1 monsters who were also this size, this level 20 grizzly bear is not that big a foe.

Hu hu

Swallowing the wrath that is her disappointment at this monster, she pointed her hand crackling with lightning and shot it with a lightning bolt.

Unleashing her anger upon the poor bear, Mikoto was like a demon had possessed her or something, the enemy is only a mere level 20 and she went all out on this monster, its safe to say the bear got wrecked.

Listening to the groans which leans more towards anguished howls than angry ones he cant help having a tingle up his spine. Its as though hes about to walk into the gates of hell. Hinagiku also backpedaled two steps back while dryly laughing.

Roasted quite literally the bear fell onto the ground sending dust up. Hinagiku felt a light sensation in her body and a soothing feel out of nowhere, She joyously grasped her palm to feel her strength which grew somewhat stronger as she nodded in satisfaction.

He nodded as well before pulling open the status list, Hinagikus status is located below Mikotos and hers under his.

He has inquired the system about the minor differences between summons status but its basically an issue of attribute. Specifically it follows the same classification of equipments, the D grade is the lowest and S grade is the highest, anything lower than D grade would have a none.

Going by the systems definition if the display shows none then does the person really have none of that attribute? If ones power shows a none then wouldnt that person have no energy towalk.

This is not the first time he retorted inside, the systems status screen is a mess, thinking back to his first status screen inside the space of unit, it only has human, this kind of great title inside it

So this is level up? Hmm I do feel that I have become stronger somehow.

Shes smiling after trying out her newfound strength with her arms.

level up? That bear just now is a level 20 isnt it? I cant believe you leveled up!

She expressed her disbelief while lightly kicking the bear under her feet.

He shrugged at her.

Its easy early game much like an rpg wait till later part of the game then it starts to get harder, dont you recall killing them in the sealing barrier by the hundreds only to level up only once?

Its not limited to her, he feels as though it has been getting harder and harder to level up. The level 60 great snake monster from before which out leveled him by 15 only gave him 4 levels upon defeat. Theres also a factor he didnt include, its levels before tier shift so it was easier.

Had it not been because of ability get he used to obtain lv4 electro master that forcibly raised him to level 50, this 1 level from 49 to 50 would really have been a bitch to grind.

Thats right, I dont know when I might be able to reach level 70

She lowered her head while muttering so.

What she needs right now is power, once she has the sufficient amount only then can she defeat accelerator and save the sisters!

He said so already, if she went up against accelerator with her pre-summon self her chances are close to none!

The her who was just summoned is at level 68, but each level is an improvement in her chance of victory. Accelerators power (Tl: is over 8000!!!)

level 70! Absolutely so, at least level 70, tier 8!

This tier difference is very hard to bridge, early game already show signs of this whats to say of late game like Mikotos. This one level is not enough! Only when she reaches level 70 does she stand a chance!

Not only that, to definitively save the sisters would require one to face Aleister the board chairman of Academy City. He should be stronger than Accelerator at tier 8 himself and theresthe enigmatic angel Aiwass!

These 2 must be confronted in order to systematically save the sisters!

Hence the present plan, getting stronger! (Tl: rising up back on the street)

Her expression didnt escape his eyes, he sighed before comforting her with a pat on the shoulder.

As long as we dont enter your world, your world would be in a frozen state, we have all the time in the world so dont panic, take it slow and steady.

Yan

With doubts in her eyes she continued.

Can I, Can I really save the sisters?

Its not i, its we!

He corrected her.

Our life are one and we are meant to be together forever, your affairs are my affairs, dont forget about me!

Who.. who wants to be with you forever!

Triggered by his words her low tone heightened into a frantic one, no matter how one looks at it, its damn cute.

Finally her tsundere side!

Grinning at the sight of her, he understands that a tsundere Mikoto is a normal Mikoto.

Dont worry, even if theyre boss, we are the main characters, theyre existences destined to get their buttocks handed to them by us!

Listening to his confident speech, she nodded heavily and assured as well.

No matter what happens, the sisters must be rescued!

From the point that Wu Yan and Mikoto started talking, Hinagiku slipped into silence as she observed their interactions. She somewhat understand the circumstances Mikotos pondering inside her heart thats why she didnt butt in. But her eyes, they were filled with a mysterious malice in them when she looked at him, this made him utter a few awry laughter.

Giving him some more leer she silently threatened him before pulling Mikoto by the hand.

Alright, lets continue the leveling trip, I still want to become stronger!

Not giving her the chance to say anything and surely no chance for him as well the duo went into a bush making him stiff in various ways.

Crystal palace so hard to build

Where are we going, Hinagiku?

She slanted her head in Hinagikus direction, without Wu Yan to guide them and no map to tell the direction the chance of getting lost is 99/100.

Strolling around to find demonic beast.

Can we really find a demonic beast by walking around like this?

DaijoubuDaijoubu, Yan said it theres nothing much here but tons of demonic beast, I think we should find some if we look around.

Like hell I did (), I never said that, one does not simply find demonic beasts in bushes, you think theyre insects or something?

Ah, its a demonic beast!

Hehe, I told you so, look just by walking around we actually found some isnt it?

Yeah but hmm, the demonic beast looks like

Receiving the aural stimulation coming from the bush he turned . Fine, therere demonic beasts who likes bushes

Hes not that worried about the two getting in danger or anything, not with Mikoto around since this palce is the outskirts of demonic beast forest, the strongest he has seena round this part are level 30s.

Beep! Detected special event, issuing urgent mission!

Urgent mission: Rescue operation!

Mission 1: Kill all the sharp fang hounds, current progress 0/20;

Rewards: Equipment points, Item points, Ability points, Summoning points 3000;

Mission 2: Kill all the Iron hound mercenary in the vicinity, current progress 0/20;

Rewards: Equipment points, Item points, Ability points, Summoning points 7000;

Mission 3: Rescue Lirin, kill Iron Hound mercenary vice captain;

Rewards: Equipment points, Item points, Ability points, Summoning points 10000;

Hes startled by the system. Sudden mission? Rescue op? The 3 mission seemed more focused on killing than rescuing though

Detect special events? Is it referring to the kidnapping?

System when did you start wearing green hat and turned into an envoy of peace?

Wa! Disgusting!

Dont come over here!

Mikoto and Hinagiku!

Putting strength into his steps, he shot out like an arrow making his way to the 2 ladies.

Is something wrong?!

Seeing that theyre alarmed but fine he phewed.

Disgusting hounds, are they keeping dogs in forests as well?

Hinagiku pointed at a figure some distance away with a repulsed look.

Dog?

He turned to look when she said that, what he saw was a dog with long and overbiting teeth snarling at them. The dog is completely bald and at a size just a bit shorter than the two girls. The most distinguishing feature is that salivas going drip drop drip drop from their mouth, its appaling to say the least.

Sharp fang hound: (level 20)

Rather than calling them sharp fang hound, why not call them bald dogs, thats more apt but still doesnt change the fact that theyre fugly

Looking at the vulgar appearance and the excessively drooling sharp fang hound he outstretched his hand and Nietono no Shana appeared within his palm. He didnt even draw the blade and just appeared in front of the hound in a flash and swung his blade upwards smashing against the dogs face.

whimper

The dog flew high into the sky before crashing down on the ground and with a demolished face it thrashed about.

Sickened by its apperance he rubbed the scabbard against the ground, lucky the dog didnt get any saliva on it otherwise he might consider getting another sword.

Yan

The two girls were a bit astonished at what happened, they didnt understand why he sent the dog flying without saying anything. When they recovered their senses he had already ended the hound by stomping it.

He walked to them before frowning as he continued.

Theres a sudden mission issued just now!

The system did?

Hinagiku and Mikoto looked at each other before continuing.

What mission?

Why dont you girls check it out yourselves.

He sent the information over to the girls, this function is only applicable to summons.

Oh so thats the hound you killed just now? To think theres 19 more where this came from!

She twisted her neck a the thought of dealing with more of that thing.

Sharp fang hound, Iron Hound mercenary group

Mikoto muttered under her breath.

It looks like the mercenary group is the one who reared these foul creatures!

Nn, should be.

He nodded in agreement.

And, they seemed to have captured a person called Lirin ().

Kidnapping is it? So low!

Shes upset as she said this, living in the brighter side of the Academy City and having a female underclassmen working as part of the disciplinary committee, this kind of assholes she has seen many times before, and her hate for them has not lessened, a case of the proverbial making mischief due to sense of justice. (Tl: , open for possible translation alternatives, I wanted to put vigilante justice but thats not quite it, it means something along the line of beating/harming/scolding/teasing someone out of sense of justice regardless of prevalent law or the none existence thereof.)
