Pick Me Up!

Chapter 11: If You Want to Survive, Ride the Wave Well (3) Part 2

When we came out to the plaza, Iselle was dragging the three of them out of the inn.

[Come out, I said come out! When the Master returns, come out to the square. why dont you listen to me! Wanna get scolded?]

I raised my gaze to the ceiling.

Strictly speaking, there was no ceiling in the waiting room. Instead, a faint gray sky floated above. This sky would shine brightly with a radiant light when the Master entered. Apart from messages, I could also obtain information through this display.

Are you trying to make us fight again? I dont like it, I hate it!

D-Do you want money. Ive got money at home! Let me go back! Im tired of eating just potatoes!

[Oh, Im really going crazy!]

Annoyed, Iselle exploded.

A straight punch, like a flame, shot out from her adorable hand.

Kwaaak!

[Hey, Im busy with other stuff you know? Ill make it clear, come out now, or it will be your last day here!]

The three looked at each other.

[So thats how you wanna play, huh?!]

[Loading]

After a while, the three of them stood in the plaza. Blood was smeared under each of their noses.

Open, Rift of Space and Time!

[Tips/Make disobedient heroes go in circles. Responsiveness increases.]

Iselle, youve really gone all out.

The Rift of Space and the Arsenal was opened. After taking our weapons and as we entered through the Rift of Space and Time, the mirrors immediately began to shine.

Climb the tower and save the world!

[Main Dungeon: Current Floor -2]

The light faded.

[Floor 3.]

[Mission Type Subjugation]

[Objective Annihilate the enemy!]

[Goblin Lv.5 X 4]

Field type: Plains.

This time, the enemies were facing are four goblins.

Keerrr!

Three of them were armed with swords and shields.

The one in the back held a crossbow instead of a throwing spear.

Their armaments and tactics have improved.

It was a natural change as we climbed the floors.

The goblin who finished loading aimed the crossbow at me.

It happened before he could pull the trigger.

Swoosh!

An arrow flew from behind and pierced through the goblins forehead.

Gyaaah!

The goblin exaggeratedly fell over and died.

I told you. I will be useful. Jenna smiled.

I kept running forward.

Before they could mount a collective attack, I struck from this side. First, one goblin. The goblin crouched its upper body and raised its shield. However, there was an opening. I twisted my shoulder and stabbed the sword into it.

The second goblin. He charged with his shields raised. I clashed with him and sent his shield flying. I had the advantage in height, weight, and strength. I seized the opportunity and slashed his throat.

The last one.

Perhaps it got scared, as it took a step back. I approached it slowly.

An arrow pierced through the goblins shin. It was a difficult area to block with a shield. After he lost his balance, I plunged the sword into its heart.

[Stage cleared!]

[Jenna() leveled up!]

[Reward 7,000G, Leather (C) x 1, Iron Ore (C) x 1]

[MVP Jenna()]

Being selected as the MVP of a battle grants bonus experience points.

This time, Jenna was the MVP. It seemed that the first crossbow goblin she killed had earned her high points.

Do they still have no intention of fighting?

The three of them only looked at us with uneasy eyes.

Well, it doesnt matter. I dont want to share experience points with those guys.

If they dont contribute to the battle, they wont receive experience points.

We returned through the Rift of Space and Time.

Oh, already?

It was a bit too easy this time.

It wasnt that the enemies were too easy; it was that we had become stronger.

We could feel it. The training was not in vain. The sword and shield moved more smoothly, and there were no gaps in our movements.

Is it all over? Then, we will

Toby was about to leave but froze in place.

The door leading to the plaza was still closed.

The mirror on the left began to shine.

[Select floor, Floor 1. Do you want to retry?]

[Yes (Select) / No]

Its not over yet.

Jenna firmly grasped her bow, wearing a determined expression.

Seems like were going in circles.

He must have been influenced by Iselles tip.

Though the experience points and rewards decrease when retrying a floor already cleared, Anytng seemed to prioritize safety over advancing another floor.

[Mission Type Subjugation]

[Objective Annihilate the enemy!]

[Goblin Lv.2 x 3]

Keerrr!

Swoosh!

Kyah!

One goblins head was instantly pierced, and it died.

Jenna immediately shot the second arrow, then pulled the bowstring. The arrow struck the chest of a goblin that was blankly staring at its fallen comrade.

And Jenna pulled the bowstring for the third time.

[Stage cleared!]

[Reward 1,000G]

[MVP Jenna()]

Jenna just posed victory to me.

.

Heheh.

The mirror shone again.

[Floor 1.]

[Mission Type Subjugation]

[Objective Annihilate the enemy!]

[Goblin Lv.4 x 2]

As soon as the location changed, I ran forward.

I heard the piercing sound of an arrow splitting the air from behind. I swatted away the arrow with my shield.

What are you doing?

Shut up!

Daring to hog all the experience points for yourself?

I mercilessly slaughtered the two goblins without any hesitation.

[Stage cleared!]

[Reward 1,000G]

[MVP Han()]

After repeating two more battles like that, we were able to exit to the plaza.

Is it over?

I dont know either.

Jenna turned her head abruptly in response to another party members question.

During the five battles, they did nothing. They even found the leisure to gossip behind us when they saw us overwhelming the monsters.

Jenna, with her lips pursed, spoke.

This is getting really annoying. How long do we have to keep covering for them?

It ends today.

End? They dont seem to have any intention of changing.

Well, it seems like Master has enough leisure to feed those parasites.

[Master, synthesis is starting.]

[Drag and drop the hero you want to sacrifice onto the hero you want to synthesize! The sacrificed hero will disappear.]

The door to the synthesis chamber opened.
