SPEAR MASTER AND THE BLACK CAT CHAPTER 51
Fifty-First Episode~ Delta Zone of Captivation
The clan and party leaders gather in a circle, Eris’s voice echoes from the middle .
“King-san of 【Kokudara】, Kyou-san of 【Heaven Sword】, Ameri-san of 【Haym’s Defence】, Garnanfu-san of 【War God】, Shisea-san of 【Faidato Alliance】, Sarah of 【Crimson Tiger’s Tempest】 . And I am Eris of the 【Eight Maidens】 . The leaders of each clan and party should be gathered here . ”
The leaders have strong expressions .
Wherein, my eyes fall on the shins of a Dwarf wrapped in green leggings .
“And, that guy?”
The Dwarf questions Eris and everybody’s eyes fall on me at the same time .
“This one is Shuya-san . He is participating solo, but he is the ‘spearman” who played an active role in the fight earlier . He is a considerable fighting force, so I am having him participate in this strategy meeting . ”
Then, noise rises from the surroundings .
“That~ spearman . ”
“He was a solo participator?”
“…Spear, huh?”
The nearby leaders are all commenting, staring at me, nodding to one another and whispering .
“Gohhon . Then, isn’t it fine? Another time, as an officer of the guild, shall I advance the discussion?”
When Eris talks the uproar immediately settles and the area falls quiet .
Even the air quiets .
“…Then, I will advance the conversation . Thanks to everyone, we were able to exterminate the dragons and ants that showed up around the metastasis formation . Still, there are enemies remaining . As you all know, they are the large dragons, wyverns, and the imperial ants . They are formidable enemies, but we must remove them . So, after this, I would like the enter the central area to suppress them, what are everyone’s thoughts?”
A person with the appearance of a soldier quickly reacts to what Eris said .
“【Koudara】 only consists of vanguards, we are a desired obstacle . ”
“【Heaven Sword】 are vanguards too, I agree with this opinion . I think it will become easier for the rear defenders if there is an obstacle . The strategy will be based off Eris’s instructions . ”
Next, someone wearing the robes of a magic user speaks .
“Yes . We of 【Faidato Alliance】 are mostly magic users, so we agree things will be easier if the vanguards are an obstacle . There are long distance attacks to deal with when fighting wyverns and imperial ants, so it’s frightening… I have faith in the vanguard . ”
“-Most of us in 【War God】 are vanguards . If I am going to do a suicide attack with my ax to kill dragons, I want to aim for wyverns . ”
The one covering the magic user’s timid remark is the short Dwarf .
He has a heavy looking ax and several tattoos on his face .
It makes me think of a Scandinavian smorgasbord of tattoos . (TL: This is what the RAWS say . I guarantee this translation . It just doesn’t make sense . )[ED: Weird but “of tattoos”}
New, a woman with a bow steps forward to talk .
“【Haym’s Defense】 is a ranged type, not only bows, but we have two magic users that can use recovery magic, so we would still like a vanguard . ”
“You could probably say that 【Crimson Tiger’s Tempest】is a balanced model . There had better be a vanguard, the wyverns and imperial guards cannot get to the back . Their movements need to be sealed and each one killed . ”
Finally, Sarah of the crimson tigers finishes talking .
“Isn’t that right? As expected, the B rank clan 【Crimson Tiger’s Tempest】 is the forerunner, the other clans and parties will provide support . Focus on attacking a single one from the rear . How about something like that?”
Eris has begun to compile a conclusion .
Is it an advantage if there is an obstacle?
You could use the carapaces of the big armored ants rolling about .
Should I mention it…
“Ano~, it that okay?”
“Yeah, go ahead . ”
Eris allows me to talk with a smile .
I nod and share my idea .
“As for an obstacle, we could use the carapaces of the armored ants, couldn’t they become a simple bulkhead?”
“Ah, that’s right . But…”
“Hahaha, lad . It’s a good thought, but they’re incredibly heavy and require multiple people to move . And there aren’t any carts?”
The smorgasbord oyaji Dwarf crosses his arms and laughs .
“Then, someone can return to the guild using the metastasis formation, invite people, and bring a cart?”
One of the clan leaders suggests that, but I take this opportunity to be frank .
“-That’s not necessary . I can move them, so should I take care of the ones in this area first?”
I say so, touch my bracelet and push “storage . ”
I put the carapace of one of the nearby ants into the item box .
Ma, even without the item box I carry them easily enough .
“That…”
“Heh, the start can be opened with this . ”
“So that means, this guy plays an active part at the tower and labyrinth city?”
“Well now, that’s an unusual thing . ”
While everyone is in shock- I store all the scattered carapaces in the item box .
“Is that an item box?”
Eris is surprised as she edges closer to me .
“That’s right . ”
I answer simply .
“I knew it . ”
“So you really are from labyrinth city?”
“If it’s the labyrinth, do you have any connections to the six top clans?”
“How about that, I hear it was relatively easy to obtain one in labyrinth city…”
“Moreover, that spear man must have studied under one of the eight spear King Gods . ”
“…Surely, Akyurei Achilles is the fifth of spear King Gods, I heard there were many followers of the seventh spear king god Rico Madoricos in the area . ”
Each leader says such a thing .
I am curious about the one called Akyurei Achilles, is that really Shisho? And then, an item box seems to be rare in this area .
Eris who has come near me talks in a low voice .
“So Shuya-san was an adventurer from 【Labyrinth City】…”
“No, I think this came from 【Labyrinth City】, but I myself have never been to 【Labyrinth City】 . ”
“Is that so . My father has, but doesn’t have one . ”
Eris has such a complaint and is staring at my bracelet with *jiiiiii* eyes .
I ignore such eyes and talk .
“All of the carapaces are right in here . ”
“Eeh, yes . Then, I will leave the matter of the carapaces to Shuya-san . For now, may I ask you to ‘establish between the center and the front?'”
“Yes . Roger . ”
Then, Eris turns to look at everyone .
“Then, with the strategy meeting, everyone will take a break here . As soon as it becomes light, we will carry out the strategy we just discussed . The vanguard will focus around the attack of 【Crimson Tiger’s Tempest】 . I would like a preemptive attack to focus on one wyvern or imperial ant . The night watch is left up to the individual clans . Then, this meeting is concluded . ”
Everyone nods to Eris’s words and raises their agreement .
“Understood . ”
“Let’s do our best . ”
“Ou . ”
“Tomorrow, then . ”
“However, he may have hidden ability, but are you okay with entrusting it to that spearman?”
“Well . Let’s rest for now . ”
The adventurers gather around the metastasis formation, sharing their thoughts, and begin to rest .
They seem to be assuming the carapaces will be taken care of as it was ordered .
When I start to move, one of the members of crimson tigers calls out to me .
“Shuya, aren’t you clever to use those heavy carapaces as an obstacle . You rest soon too; it seems we’ll be able to take it easy when we fight the wyverns and imperial ants . ”
“It was chance . I’m glad I could help everyone . ”
“However, Shuya is carrying an item box . ”
“Is me having one not good?”
This is upsetting . I put on such a face as I talk .
Sarah shaves her head and denies it .
“No, no, that’s not what I mean . It’s just a rare item in this area . ”
“Does Sarah not have one?”
“I don’t . I have yet to go to labyrinth city or the heaven’s tower . ”
It is difficult to obtain here, the item boxes that are sold .
“I see . ”
“But, it’s great, that magic bracelet . Shuya-san . I’ll get one sometime too . ”
Lushell looks at my bracelet wistfully .
“I understand Lushell’s desire . You can probably buy it with the gold labyrinth city produces, this city is quite good, to appear on the market…it’s bad for the captain, but I might like Shuya . ”
Belize says such things with a bewitching smile…
“-What, Belize . It’s no good with Shuya . ”
“Fufu, it’s a contest captain…”
Sarah is glaring at Belize with her cat ears dyed red . Belize smiles and looks back at Sarah .
They started fighting . Their eyes meet and there is a flash of light between them, oi, this reaction will cause me trouble .
“Captain and Belize are both useless . -Isn’t Shuya-san disappointed~ ne~? Shuya-san . ”
Saying so, Lushell grabs my arm and holds it against her body .
“Lushell? Aah, why are you touching him, what do you mean ‘ne?'”
“Ah, the captain got mad . ”
“Lushell works fast . -Shuya-kun~, this request, once it’s finished…ne?”
“Nya, nyaa . ”
Belize as well, grabs my other arm and presses it into her voluptuous chest .
The smell good, a citrusy perfume .
Breath is being puffed against my ear…
Rollo seems to also want to get involved in the skinship, she nestles close to my foot, rubbing her head against me…
I-is this the thing called moteki? Harem? (TL: Moteki is the period of time when a man suddenly becomes popular with women . )
This is really dangerous, even though we are in the middle of a request .
“…E~to . You both feel amazing but please back away . I still have things left to do . ”
“-Ah . ”
“-Fufu . ”
Ah, sorry, I did not want to force you
“It’s as Shuya says . Really, you two, come here . ”
“That’s right, you’re getting to excited . The captain is getting mad! However, it’s probably because of Shuya…”
Sarah drops her fists on Lushell and Belize’s heads and drags them away .
Butch was shouting his complaints next to Sarah, but along the way started to glare at me…
But I didn’t do anything?
I got to feel their breasts…
“Haha, that’s great . ”
Then, Eris laughs and talks .
“Ah, I need to finish . You saw something strange . ”
“No, no, I understand stand Lushell and Belize’s feelings so…cough . Well then, shall we go? To move the carapaces . ”
Eris’s big eyes are swimming, she faked a cough…
Nn, you understand their feelings?
Does that mean you will press your breasts into me?
Is it different? She might be too nervous, so she is sending her good will?
I see, in the end, the moteki has arrived .
But, I am on a request right now . Without getting caught up, I need to work .
Or perhaps, would Eris like to come with me to set up the carapaces?
“…Eris, are you taking a break?”
“I should be as well…”
I should be the same too .
I will decline .
“No, doing this alone is easier . Good . ”
“It’s a dangerous area, will you be okay?”
Eris tilts her head to the side .
“Un . Apart from that, even if I say rest, this a nest of ants . I have no idea when we’ll be attacked by the remaining ants and dragons . So, it’s better for the captain to stay . ”
“Sure…I guess, ne . I understand . Please be careful while you build the obstacle . ”
She agrees .
“Aah, I’ll be fine . I will head to the metastasis formation, the wyverns and imperial ants fighting in the danger zone are well hidden . ”
“Yes . I’m expecting this . ”
“Ou . ”
“Nn, nyao . ”
Rollo cries out and jumps onto my shoulder .
Like that, with Rollo on my shoulder I head to the area where the intense fight between the wyverns and imperial ants is taking place .
It is important not to get involved, so with
Arranging the carapaces is surprisingly easy, and I can return to the front of the metastasis formation .
Adventurers are resting around the metastasis formation .
Sitting in the open space is Eris, she seems to notice me and calls out .
“Shuya-san, good…”
The nuance of being sure I am safe .
Was she worried?
I try to respond with a smile .
“I’m back . Everything is set up . The wyverns and imperial ants are absorbed in their war; it was easy since they paid no attention to me . ”
“Is that so . As one would expect, huh . Thank you very much for your hard work . ”
When Eris is talking to me, Sarah walks away from the side of a camp fire and I see her hurriedly approaching me .
“…Shuya . Welcome back, do you want to rest together?”
Sarah is inviting me .
I’ll be bothering you .
“Ah, I’ll take you up on that . Then, I will see you tomorrow, Eris-san . ”
“…Yes . ”
Eris has a disappointed expression . Weren’t we finished?
“Nya . ”
Rollo calls out in a low voice from my shoulder .
I accompany Sarah to the camp fire that crimson tiger is sleeping around .
“You, using those big carapaces, you already finished constructing the obstacle?”
When I sit down near the fire, Butch talks to me .
“Un . I used hidden body to be safe, but I may have been fine without using it, they didn’t care about me . ”
“Hyu~, you can scout?”
Butch-san whistles .
Scout? A skill specialized in reconnaissance, or a battle occupation…
“…No, it’s not that far . ”
“I see, I see . Here, drink . ”
Butch-san’s face is flushed . He looks drunk .
“Haa, I’ll have some…”
“Hahaha, don’t hold yourself back . ”
I take a wooden cup .
I drink a little .
It really is liquor . Taking the opportunity, I remove some jerky from my pocket .
“Kora, baka Butch . You don’t have to get drunk because it’s a break?”
Belize says so as she eats something that looks like bread .
“What, I’ve only drank a little . ”
Butch bends an arm and flexes, making his well-developed biceps swell, showing a glass overflowing with sake .
“Butch, the only thing you’ve had in that glass today is liquor . ”
“Eeeh, captain…”
Butch seems to like liquor .
“Butch, aren’t the captain orders absolute? Shuya-san as well, please be careful not to drink too much . ”
Lushell is sitting with her knees bent against her chest and her Egyptian make-upped face is smiling . (TL: The actual term here is 体育座り)
Still, but, they are seriously concerned .
Under the robe, I can see some black panties and seductive thighs . So, what is it called, the absolute domain, the absolute space there… (TL: The space between the top of the knee socks and the hem of a skirt…
“…Aah, I’ll only have this much . ”
I am fixated for a moment . No, it is because the stretched panties committee is at war, it is natural, I turn my eyes away as I look in a different direction .
In the trial inside my head, reason wins out .
“Nnn, nya . ”
With an expression of victory inside my head- Rollo calls out from my shoulder and takes my half eaten jerky .
Aah, she is still fast .
It can’t be helped if she feels hungry .
“Rollo, do you want more?”
Rollo swings her tail back and forth .
“Rollo-chan . Answering with her tail . ”
“It seems so…”
“Haha, Rollo seems to have become hungry . By the way, Shuya . I want to ask seriously…”
Sarah’s cute cat ear twitch with a *piku* and she comes closer .
Her eyes are serious .
Is it about tomorrow’s strategy?
“What is it?”
“This is sudden, but will you join our clan?”
It was different, this is an invitation .
“…Still, this is sudden . ”
Clan . N~
“Are, ma, the captain is inviting you personally . This is rare . She seems to like Shuya-san considerably . ”
“Maa, I understand that the captain has be thinking about it . His ability as a spearman is reliable . Us soldier type beastmen are attracted by raw power . ”
Butch-shi praises me as well .
“I’d also like it if you joined crimson tiger . I can aim at any time…”
Belize’s remarks and smile are scary . It feels bewitching…
Being aimed at . I would like to be hit with those breasts . [ED:… . . ]
“Belize, aiming, and those eyes are scary~”
“Ara? Lushell, did it become a strange smile?”
“Eeh? Butch, did I make a strange face?”
“Iya, you don’t have such a face? I’ve been able to see your underwear for a while, though . ”
Lushell quickly covers her butt with her robe .
“Aahm Butch! Ero Butch . ”
“Chi, chigee”
Ero Butch-sensei .
I will never blame you .
“-Haha, or should I say, shut up! I won’t be able to hear Shuya’s answer . ”
N~, now…
“…That’s right . Even though we get along well…I have to decline . ”
“Eeh?”
“Decline?”
Lushell and Belize have surprised reactions .
Sarah did not seem to think I would decline either .
“Is that so…would you tell me why?”
“It’s simple . There are times when I am impulsive . And then, I want to act freely right now . ”
“…Is that so . This is disappointing . ”
As Sarah said, he ears lay down and her face sinks .
As for me, I think it is good to spend time with such beautiful women .
However, to be honest, some of these beautiful women’s smiles are scary .
The name of the disease is Kuna shock . The reason is the freakish Kuna shock .
I am only being half serious, but my promise with Rollo is my first reason, checking the other gate points is another, and I would like to take the year lightly . I cannot be free if I enter a clan .
It would be better for me to remain solo .
“…To decline to captain’s invitation . ”
Butch-san mutters .
“-This is really disappointing . ”
Belize-san breasts shake as she stands up .
She has a grin .
But, her eyes look a little damp .
She approaches me quickly, and wraps around my arm .
“I’m sorry you won’t enter the clan…please stay by my side today-“
“Kora . ”
“What are you doing?”
Sarah and Lushell raise angry voices .
“Oi, what are you doing so close to him . ”
“That’s right . Really, I always have to be on guard…”
Sarah and Lushell have irritated tones .
The two people with puffed cheeks are suddenly behind Belize .
They grab Belize by both arms and drag her back to the fire .
“Ahaha, I’m not finished . Belize is an assertive one . ”
Butch-san seems to be a little drunk .
Laughing without getting angry .
“Haha…”
Like this, I spend the night wrapped in some kind of happy strain .
-However, this is an ant nest . It is normal for ants to swarm forth past midnight .
So, such a ridiculous feeling of strain fades, and Rollo and I continue fighting the long armed ants that appear alongside crimson tiger .
