Chapter 103.2
Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem
Chapter 103.2. Sea Dungeon!
The [Catâs Kitten] merchant association is affixed to one point.
Itâs the first magical armor purchased by D-rank adventurers, and for nobles, it is their entry-level equipment.
It consists of a tightly attached green leotard, a simple breastplate and shoulder pads made of magic bronze, and a basket and leg armor.
I brought these from home as I had become an apprentice adventurer. Each of us brought one to everyoneâs home. Yamiyo and Tamamo also came to wear this magic armor, saying that it was good for them to be matching.
Yamiyo equips a sword called Yaten, Tamamo with a bronze spear, Hoku-chan with a bronze axe, Sei-chan with no hands, Nan-chan with a bronze staff, and Miu with a bronze mace.
Itâs all very beginner-like and exciting.
We all get into the mood and look around, but the only suspicious thing we see is a palm tree. Or rather, we can only see those things.
Mashiro, the guardian, is just smiling and looking on, and the guard, Kongo-oneesan, and the Martini guys are also just looking on without saying anything in particular.
They have changed their responses now that they are in their former clothes.
âNo, I can see Tamamo Ai~. I can see it~.â
[Fox Fire]
Wiggling her fox ears, Tamamo, who has finished assimilating with Kon-chan, stretches out her index finger and lights a small flame.
She sends the flame out and hits one of the palms. As the palm flared, it shook and swayed, and when the roots lifted, a two-meter crab emerged.
It seemed to have been mimicking the sandy beach as a palm. With a shell the same color as the beach, it moved its scissors in a threatening manner. If it caught me, it could easily amputate my arm.
This crab grows palm trees about 5 meters high from its shell. Itâs a coconut crab.
The cawing and huffing will help me analyze the situation.
[Coconut crab: level 12, weakness, blow, earth]
Itâs not a good opponent. Itâs a small fish.
âAs expected of you, Tamamo-chan!â
I praise her with a clap. Real palms are growing too, so I canât tell which ones are real.
âYeah, itâs like a coconut crab with only one coconut.â
While looking at her phone, Hoku-chan says something thatâs not airtight, but Iâll compliment her. Tamamo Ai was indeed looking at her smartphone earlier, though.
âItâs coming!â
The coconut crab, despite its heavy coconut growth, runs at a speed that doesnât make you feel its weight, moving its many legs in a crisscrossing motion. It seems to be a crab that moves forward. It doesnât walk sideways. I wonder if it is not a crab.
There is no sense of urgency, but its level is still high. Itâs a monster that canât be defeated by ordinary people. Everyone quickly regained their composure and changed to serious faces. Hoku and the others seem especially nervous.
âWell, itâs from me!â
Nan-chan, who is holding a staff in her hand, uses magic.
[Mud Clumps]
A palm-sized mud dumpling is released from her wandâs tip and heads toward the coconut crab at high speed. If it hits the shell of the coconut crab, the shell cracks. The mud dumplings look like mud dumplings. But it seems to have vicious power. That shell is reinforced with mana, so it should be as strong as an armored car.
However, the coconut crab doesnât care if its shell is cracked or not. It still rushes forward. Hmmm?
[Raigeki]
Sei-chan, who has no weapons, points her palm at the unstoppable coconut crab and discharges lightning magic. Lightning gushes out and penetrates through the shell of the coconut crab.
Still not stopping, the coconut crab closes on Tamamo and points its scissors at her. The fox-kin calmly swings her spear at the approaching scissors, knocking them to the ground with a clang. Undaunted, she swings the other scissors as if to slam them down.
âYotto, kyaa.â
With an attitude of composure, Tamamo tries to backstep down, but sheâs caught in the sandy beach and takes the slap when she drops to her knees with a crack. A magical barrier arises, protecting Tamamoâs body from the impact.
âYouâre caught off guard, Tamamo.â
Kicking sand, Yamiyo enters the palm crabâs bosom and swings his jet-black sword, smashing through the coconut growing on the palm crabâs back with a horizontal slash. A sparkling line of darkness remained in the air, and he sheathed it with a snap.
âBon appétit!â
Smiling nihihihi, Hoku continued, swinging her axe down on the shell. With a thud, the coconut crab is pressed against the torso, and it wriggles its legs to escape.
Itâs quite stubborn that it hasnât fallen over yet. It must mean that itâs a monster of physical stupidity. It could withstand a few more blows with plenty of time to spare.
âTeii!â
Of course, Iâm going to follow up. With a single blow of my mace, I hit the shell of the coconut crab that was pushed onto the beach. Using my petite body to its fullest, I raise my mace high in the air.
Then, I swing it down with all my might. With a boom, the mace hits the coconut crab.
Boom!
With a resounding bang, the coconut crab explodes from the inside and falls apart. Huh?
âOh! Powerful~!â
âAs expected of Mii-sama.â
âThank you, you did it!â
Level 50, so itâs just one hit.
âI got coconuts!â
Nan-chan was about to crack open a coconut when I looked at the dead coconut crab I had defeated.
I thought its weak points were blows and earth, right? Why didnât it get scared by Nan-chanâs attack?
Maybe the weakness effect only applies to Miu and Godâs party?
Iâve just found out about the new specification.
âWell, okay. It might be more advantageous.â
Miu rushed over to the others, asking them to let her have a taste too.
