Infinite Gacha: Ch 2 - Ep16 Three people

 

"Don't think you can get away from us!

 

"You're going to pay for what you did yesterday! We'll kill that shiny gold, then we'll kill the human boy and girl after I'm done tormenting them!"

 

"............"

 

I can't help but look at them with pity.

 

The two elves in front of us, one with a sword in his hand and the other with an arrow on his bow, shouted out a completely bad guy line.

We entered the forest after taking the mysterious giant tower investigation quest and heading to the giant tower.

The two elves who disturbed us at the adventurer's guild yesterday also followed us into the forest.

 

"Looks like you're so freaked out you can't even speak!

 

"It's too late to regret now. Come on, beg for your life! If you can make us laugh, maybe we'll spare you."

 

The first one swung the sword in his hand, while the other pointed the arrow in his bow at us while grinning wickedly.

Gold and Nemumu are annoyed by their attitude and reach for their weapons.

 

"My Lord."

 

"Dark-sama......"

 

"...... They made their choice, and we'll respect that. Mera, I'm sorry, but I don't want to leave any bodies behind, so can you dispose all of them?"

 

The elf adventurers look at me with suspicious eyes after I spoke.

They are wondering because instead of Gold and Nemumu, who were by my side, I mentioned someone else's name.

 

"This kid, what is he talking about? Are you trying to fool us with a bluff? If that's true, you're wasting your time. You guys are the newbie party, Black Clown-san!"

 

"We've already investigated all of you. Just because you've been successful in the Dwarf Kingdom's dungeon doesn't mean you can't have a good time in the Elf Queen Nation adventurer's guild! Humans should behave like humans, bow down to us, and keep quiet, so you don't have to die!"

 

"Kekekekekekeke! Then you guys will die for being rude to our Lord."

 

"Hah?

 

"Haa!"

 

Someone tapped them on the shoulder from behind.

The two elf adventurers turned to look behind them. Before they knew it, a woman over two meters tall was standing there.

She wears a hat, her hair stretched to her back, and her eyes are red. Her face is beautiful, but when she smiles, her jagged teeth and the edges of her mouth almost reach her ears. Any ordinary person would feel intimidated by her as if a predator is grinning at its prey.

The clothes she wears are also a bit unusual.

The long skirt that covers her ankles is ordinary, but the sleeves are so long that they cover her hands and the cuffs are wide open.

 

Both of her hands landed on the shoulders of the two elf species adventurers, one on each side.

As they turned around, something in her sleeve made a sound and began to chew their left and right shoulder.

 

"'GIGIGYAAAAAAH!"

 

"What?　What the-- GYAAAA!?"

 

Until a few moments ago, the two elf adventurers had been showing a wicked expression, truly enjoying bullying the weak. Now they're being chewed up by Mera's hands that are hidden in her sleeves. There are absolutely no drops of blood or pieces of flesh left.

The pain is so intense that they scream at first, but their screams soon cease as their heads, shoulders, and upper bodies are quickly swallowed.

In a few seconds, only the sword, the bow, and the arrow that had dropped from their hands remained.

 

Mera picked up the sword, bow, and arrows with both hands and swallowed them.

The two elf adventurers disappeared from this world, leaving no bodies or equipment behind.

 

I call out to Mera, who has finished her work.

 

"I'm sorry, Mera. I thought they'd give up once we got into the forest, but I didn't expect them to be so persistent in chasing us.

I'm sorry for the extra work."

 

"Kekekekekekeke!　Don't worry about it, my Lord. It was certainly not delicious, but for Master's sake, I would devour anything. Whether it is 10,000 or 100,000 people.

 

"Mera is a reliable but ...... scary person as always."

 

"I hate to agree with Gold, but I have the same opinion."

 

"Kekekekekeke!　We're all friends. You don't have to be afraid of me."

 

Gold and Mera laugh happily at Nemumu's comment.

 

As if attracted by her laughter, two more beings appear in front of us.

 

"Mera, how dare you speak to our Lord like that? I keep telling you to change your tone, right? Do you want me to give you a disciplinary lesson right here?"

 

"............"

 

"Aah, it's impossible for Mera to speak politely. My partner also can't do that."

 

After Mera, a beautiful woman and a beautiful little girl (?) appear.

I smiled at them all, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

 

"Ice Heat, Suzu. It's been a long time."

 

"I apologize for the delay in greeting you, Lord. Ice Heat, Mera, and Suzu are here for you."

 

Maybe she was happy that I called her name, Ice Heat's body was shaking and her face was bright red. After she managed to calm herself down, she knelt down and replied to my words in a serious voice.

In Naraku, Ice Heat works as a maid. Currently, she is in her true form, wearing light armor and a large gauntlet.

As her name suggests, she is a girl with distinctive hair color, the right side is fiery red, and the left is ice blue.

 

Mera and Suzu also knelt down.

I answered them with a smile.

 

"I'm sorry, we brought some weirdo with us before we could reach the meeting point. I thought I could shake them off once we got into the forest, but I was wrong."

 

"No, it is not a problem. The meeting point is just a rough reference. Suzu had already confirmed that there is no one in a radius of 300 meters. In fact, we should have been more tactful and moved sooner. Please forgive us."

 

"Anyway, can you guide us to the Giant Tower, where Elly, Aoyuki and Nazuna are waiting?"

 

"Yes, leave it to us!　Suzu.

 

"(Nod)"

 

Suzu nodded silently.

She is short and looks very young. She has short and shiny black hair and has violet eyes. She wears a jacket and corset, boots, tights, and a short skirt.

 

Ice Heat's serious expression was slightly changed by her attitude.

As a serious and disciplined person, she could not tolerate Suzu's quiet attitude.

The long, spear-like weapon called the musket in Suzu's hand tries to follow up in a hurry.

The metal part rattles.

 

"Sorry, Raito-sama, Ice Heat nee-san, my partner is a very shy person."

 

"I don't mind, Rock. I don't want to keep Ellie and the others waiting, so let's move."

 

"Yes! This way, My Lord."

 

At my voice, everyone started to move.

 

With Suzu in the lead, we walk towards the Giant Tower, where Elly, Aoyuki and the others are waiting.

Translator note:

Musket

is a muzzle-loaded long gun that appeared as a smoothbore weapon in the early 16th century, at first as a heavier variant of the arquebus, capable of penetrating heavy armor. By the mid-16th century, this type of musket went out of use as heavy armor declined, but the term musket continued as the name given for any hand held long gun until the mid-19th century.
