“Now then, let’s recover what was stolen.”
We all quickly picked up the swimsuits and items floating around.
The Appraisal Glasses and Cyber Something Glasses were especially precious.
Besides that, a lot of things were stolen by those tentacles… let’s see…
“I found them!”
Kaumi, still in her mermaid form, immediately brought over the glasses.
The chest area was cleverly hidden by green algae. Yes, it seemed like a matter of adult circumstances.
Nastasia secured the other Cyber Something Glasses, and Nina found the Shoulder Keyboard.
“Did we get swimsuits for everyone?”
“Not yet, and this algae is in the way.”
“Alright Clarice, the Hero group and the Appraisal Glasses group will handle item searching.” “Yes, Lord Derus.”
Ah, that’s right!
“Otuha, what about the Fairy Ring?”
“It’s safe. I’ve had it on since the beginning.”
“Oh, that’s good. It wasn’t taken by the tentacles.” “Ahhhhhh!!”
Nataira, looking at Otuha with the Appraisal Glasses, was surprised.
“What is it?”
“Yes, Lady Nina, Otuha’s Level is… hu, one hundred!!”
“What, Level 100?” “No, it’s 102!!”
How confusing. Whaaat?!
“Wh-what happened?”
“I understand why Otuha is confused.
My guess is, remember those we defeated outside, the ‘Marimo Express’?”
They were round, green, and quick.
They kept interfering with the golems and jumping around the lake.
Nastasia managed to defeat just one of them.
“Yes, thanks to that, my level became… ah.”
“Probably its parent, the ‘Marimo Emperor,’ possessed a terrifying amount of EXP. It all went to Otuha.”
Whoa, I could have taken off the ring and shared the EXP with everyone.
But didn’t our levels increase by multiples of 5 when we defeated the Seven Great Demon Lords?
Considering that, concentrating it on one person might have been the right choice, but still, Level 102!
(I’ve been surpassed…)
I’ll keep that thought to myself.
“We’ll check the level details later. Our equipment and items are getting washed away!”
“Ah, yes. We have accessories too… let’s see, ah! Over there!”
“Lord Derus, this ‘algae’ is… ” “Dapena! It’s just ordinary ‘algae’.”
Then it’s meaningless to collect it.
(Kaumi is swimming beautifully and collecting them.)
By the way, the large Magic Stone from the ‘Marimo Emperor’ was received by Jin-chan, then given to Helen-san, who then gave it to Nina-san. And Nina-san put it in the Item Box. Ah, my body hasn’t been recovered yet!
(Because Nina isn’t wearing anything yet.)
Some people are re-wearing their algae-covered swimsuits!
As I thought this and continued collecting, the water began to recede.
Ah, Kaumi could no longer swim and transformed into her human form.
(And she put on a swimsuit. Yes, that’s reassuring.)
Nina stood up and looked around.
“We’re still short one and a half swimsuits.”
“Uh, that’s…”
“One set for a person, and the lower half for Lord Derus.”
She said, holding up the top part.
Seriously, are there men’s swimsuits that cover the chest? I’m thinking this now, but I have no choice but to accept it as some kind of play.
(Nina not wearing the missing part, as expected of the Leader.)
Still, I’m glad all the items and accessories seem to have been recovered.
“Lady Nina, it seems to be coming from over there.”
“Indeed, I would think so.”
Looking, there was a hole leading out of the Demon Lord’s Room. It was where the wall next to the door was broken. Water was flowing out.
It seemed they had positioned the Golems quickly, but even seven of them couldn’t completely block it.
(Still, they seemed to have retrieved the swimsuits that flowed out…)
The swimsuits must have flowed out from there before the golems could get to them.
Helen-san grabbed her algae-covered whip and the golems started to emerge from the hole.
There they were! A swimsuit top and two bottoms had flowed out. And then…
“Ho, as expected, Clarice.”
What Nina was impressed by was that the sexy Golem made of Diamond was still trapped within the Barrier Clarice had created.
(Clarice’s mental fortitude to maintain the barrier, even when being tickled by tentacles, is amazing.)
And even after having her swimsuit removed!
“Hmm, what shall we do with this one, Nataira?”
“Yes, the Taming success rate is up to 7%.”
“Shall we take it back… Hey, you. Do you want to come with us?”
The Golem was kneeling with its hands and knees on the floor, head bowed.
“Ah… Lord Demon Lord, no, how could this happen…
I can’t, I can’t taste those tentacles anymore… This is the end!!”
She’s saying something I don’t quite understand (playing dumb), but was she a concubine?
“My White Frontbeard can do something similar.”
“Is, is that true?!”
“Yes, the Great Tree can too… Clarice, Helen.” “Yes!”
First, Clarice dispelled the Barrier.
The sexy Golem, shining like a Diamond, didn’t resist.
Next, Helen was about to Tame it, but…
“I’ll do it here.”
Otuha stepped forward.
“What, can you Tame?”
“Yes, Dapena said my Level increased and I gained Taming abilities.”
“Then please try.” “Yes!”
As they played a Mini Harp, which had some of the algae removed, and sang, it seemed like they were able to Tame it… Well, the Golem itself had given up.
Also, Helen was already at her Taming limit of eight units, so if Otuha became a Tamer, it would be convenient for the future.
“Then, shall we go?”
“Understood!!”
A mottled green and white Fluffy creature (in human form) responded from behind. It was blinking its single eye, perhaps some algae got into it?
“Ah, since we’re here, let Otuha Tame about seven more Golems.”
“Lord Derus, please let me take a bath first.”
“Ah, sorry.” “Helen!” “Yes!”
And with that, we returned to our cave base via Instantaneous movement.
