Chapter 63: Chase the Killer Hornet!

Original: Chapter 63: Chase the Killer Hornet!

The Killer Hornet firmly gripped my bag with its feet. Then, it rapidly moved its wings and took off.

It showed me a sarcastic face. I had a hunch—.

Ah, thiefーーーーー!”

That bag contains a large amount of Fluffblooms. I can’t let it be taken.

My sudden loud voice seemed to surprise my senior.

“Eh, what, what? A Monster?”

“Something important has been taken. I’m going after it!”

The Killer Hornet flies away with the bag.

I ran. If that’s taken, I won’t be able to meet Miss Marta’s expectations. I absolutely have to get it back.

“W-wait a minute. Hey, tell me your name. Also, let me return the bottleー.”

I don’t have time to reply. First, I have to defeat the Killer Hornet. I sprinted with all my might.

Waiーーーーーーーーtーーーーーーーーーーー!”

Ah, that might have been the most ghost-like line ever. Should I say it again?

Waiiiiiiiiiーーーーーーーーteeeeeeeeeeeーーーーーーーーーー!”

No good. It’s not listening.

The Killer Hornet flies away without a care. It’s too fast. At this rate, it’ll get away. I have to do something—.

The Killer Hornet enters a narrow path.

When I entered that narrow path as well, the Killer Hornet was right in front of me, though at a distance. Perhaps the bag was heavy, as it was flying a little lower.

I feel like this is a chance to Attack.

“A Sword just happened to be lying there!”

I think someone threw away the Sword. It’s broken in the middle. I picked up the broken Sword while running.

It’s a pretty heavy Sword. Was it originally a Greatsword? It’s the kind of Weapon for large Monsters that burly men often equip. It doesn’t seem very maneuverable, so it’s probably not suitable for small Monsters.

I’m terrible at throwing things, but—.

If the enemy can only fly in a straight line on this narrow path, I should be able to hit it.

The Killer Hornet is a flying creature, so it must be light. If that heavy Sword remnant hits its light body, it’ll be unbearable.

So, I wound up while running.

Hyaaaaaa!”

I threw it with all my might, hoping it would hit.

“Auuu, my control is still terrible…”

I can’t throw straight like a boy. No matter how much I Level Up and gain power, my throwing Technique hasn’t improved.

The heavy Sword I threw hit the right wall once, and then the left wall once.

Ahhh, the Killer Hornet is going to get to the next wide Area. I wanted to defeat it before it got there.

“Ah—”

The heavy Sword that hit the wall bounced off skillfully and hit the Killer Hornet’s back.

“Lucky!”

It seems like it was a lot of Damage to the Killer Hornet. It did make it to the wide Area, but it fell to the ground with a thud.

I took out my Hammer and sprinted with all my might. I definitely won’t let it get away.

“I’m getting my bag back, you hear!”

I caught up to the Killer Hornet and swung down my Hammer with all my might. And, I crushed it powerfully.

『You have Subjugated the Killer Hornet』

The Subjugation message was displayed.

Phew, that was close. My work product was almost taken away. There are Monsters that harass people, huh? It looked like a Monster with a bad personality from its face.

I picked up the bag. Okay, the contents are safe. The bag isn’t damaged either.

I brushed the dirt off the bag and then put it on my shoulder.

Well, I guess I’ll go back to my senior.

『30 Killer Hornets have appeared』

I stopped walking. …Huh? 30 of them?

A terrifying buzzing sound echoed. When I looked in the direction of the sound, a group of Killer Hornets was coming towards me. I feel an immense anger. They look like they’re out for revenge for the death of their comrade.

If I don’t run, I’ll die—.

“Hieeeeeeeee! Run awayーーーーーーーーー!”

I ran away as fast as I could. Run, run, run, I have to survive—!

The Killer Hornet’s needles are poisonous. If I get stung, I won’t survive. Run—run—run!

『Oh, by the way』

“Why now!”

『Congratulations on your first kiss!』

“Is that something you need to say right now!”

I’m in a life-or-death situation.

“Besides, didn’t you say that Mouth-to-mouth isn’t a kiss!”

I wonder if the Dungeon’s System Message is being spoken by an AI or something. If so, I think it’s an AI with a pretty mean personality.
