Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu __extra 34
TLN: This is a complementary story with the chapter 17 of the manga, or so it saysâŠbut I would say it is actually chapter 20.
And all extras with âManga SSâ in them are exactly that, manga side stories, meaning they are from very early stages of the story.
âWhat-ja. You only got numbers going for ya? It has been a while since pipsqueaks have tried to go against me, so I ended up expecting something.â (Tomoe)
A wasteland that is called the Worldâs Border and is considered one of the most dangerous places in the world.
For some reason, a woman was standing there in the middle of a pile of corpses, sweeping away the stains in her sword.
âHmâŠIf I remember correctly, arenât they called Red Bees? I think I defeated the boss of this swarmâŠâ (Tomoe)
The woman looked at a part of the corpses, and steps on one of the corpses that is specially bigger than the others.
Her opponents were indeed Red Bees, which are big insect mamonos.
The one she was nudging with her leg is a Red Bee Queen.
It is normally at the deepest parts of the swarm making it difficult to encounter.
âFrom what I know, the ones doing the hunting outside should be the soldiers. Are there instances where the whole hive goes hunting?â (Tomoe)
The Red Bees are the kind of mamonos that have their danger level change heavily depending on the size of the hive.
When many are encountered at once, unless they are adventurers who are incredibly skilled or have their own circumstances, the normal decision is to escape.
But Tomoe is not only on a whole different plane from adventurers, her very existence is different. She was a peak existence within dragons before she had decided to have Makoto as her master after all.
Even if the whole hive of Red Bees were to attack, counting the Queen, it wouldnât even be a challenge.
She could crush them all with just brute force swordsmanship without the need to use techniques or skills.
Of course, without damaging the clothes she likes.
ââŠFumu, now that I think about it, I practically have no meetings with enemies that prove challenging. If this incident was caused because these guys were being chased and attacked me due to being corneredâŠâ (Tomoe)
Right in the middle of the wasteland where even surviving is difficult, Tomoe was smiling all in her lonesome.
And then, she looks at the direction where the insects had come from.
âThere might be an interesting one. I have to catch up with Mio quickly, but well, it is not as if I am inferior to her in actual ability, it is just that this weird number called level is lower than that of hers though.â (Tomoe)
For some reason, she was making excuses by herself.
Tomoe had sheathed her sword and ran looking forward to this supposed strong opponent.
She abandoned the corpses that would easily be enough to afford a two story house if gathered properly as if they were nothing.
âIn the first place, Wakaâs level being one is the very proof that such a number is a deception, but if I think of this as a training journey, it does feel fun. I have gotten pretty used to using a katana too.â (Tomoe)
Tomoe touches in glee the sheathed single-edged sword that she plans on having as her trusty weapon.
Right now, it is simply a prototype that the dwarves made though.
An ivy that was approaching her at fast speed had frozen in place with a single glare of hers and was blown away.
That ivy normally aims for prey that is alone or is sleeping. It is a creature that one has to be on alert for in the wasteland.
Even when the real body that is the bulb lives underground, it can dig through the ground like a mole and move. It is one of the species that usually wipes out parties, considered an Adventurer Killer.
Thereâs many an adventurer that get attacked by them at night and have had their life end there.
âIf I were to hunt the same stuff as Mio -as that spider-, would I level 500 to 600 levels? I was still in the middle of the third arc of Yatsushiro Shogun, and Waka had just recently recommended me the Tokaido arc of Koumon-sama, and yetâŠâ (Tomoe)
Tomoe continued running deftly at a speed faster than riding a horse.
Inside her head, there wasnât a single shred of fear in regards to the dangers of the wasteland.
She was thinking about easily finishing this training journey that his master had told her about before.
It was clear that she didnât believe that strength was equal to level.
And in reality, Tomoe doesnât think that she would lose to Mio if they were to have an all-out fight, and she doesnât think she would be able to win against Makoto even if he is level 1.
While she was rambling, a number of mamonos camouflaging as different shaped rocks attacked Tomoe all at once.
They had sharp claws and fangs, and were covered in scales similar in texture to stone, and had a look similar to that of crocodiles.
At the end of their tails, they also have some sort of needle used for attacks resembling that of scorpions.
It was a complete surprise attack.
But Tomoe used a punch and kick to deal with two of them that rushed first, and after that, she unsheated her sword and went by cutting them down with one slash.
Even those scales that clearly had high defensive capability were powerless against Tomoe.
It didnât take long to trample down those pitiful creatures, but Tomoe stopped her feet in place without running on just like the time with the ivy.
ââââââââââââââââ
âThis isâŠa crab huh. It is a delicacy-ja na.â (Tomoe)
âYes. It takes away my words. It is without doubt splendid. It is delicious.â
Tomoe had put a stop to her training after the appearance of a crab, and returned to Asora. Right after, she pushed the preparation of it and checked the taste.
Leaving aside whether it is the exact same taste as the ones that the people in period dramas enjoy, the Gran Crab that has been prepared by the hands of someone was truly delicious. Tomoe and the lucky Orcs and Mist Lizards that were at that place were munching on the mountain of crab meat.
Tomoe was enjoying the meal speaking out only few words, and thereâs also the people that are participating in cooking the crab.
With its size, even when it is only one, there was plenty enough for everyone.
Everyone thought that it was worth the struggle against the heavy and tough shell.
âWhat is it at such a time-ja?â (Tomoe)
At that moment, a single Orc ran there with a message.
Even when Tomoe ignored it by saying in thought transmission that it is bothering her meal, the Orc pushed on. It must be an emergency the Orc wanted to relay no matter what.
âHahâŠHah⊠Ema told me to relay this to you as soon as possible!â
He must have been running at full-speed. He hurried his report even while he was trying to catch his breath.
âNow now, calm down. Eat this firstââ (Tomoe)
âReporting! For a while now, Mio-sama has been sighted going around Tomoe-samaâs records in Waka-samaâs memory warehouseââ
âW-Whaaaat?!â (Tomoe)
Tomoe wastefully spurts out the crab meat in the middle of the report, and then, looks at a certain direction where the place that could be basically called a national treasury was lying, and instantly teleported.
Waka-samaâs memory warehouse; Tomoeâs recordsâŠ
Those are the memories that Tomoe had scooped out from Misumi Makoto, and had carefully, reaaally carefully piled up, produced, and edited⊠It is the place where the period dramas and other memories of Makoto, as well as a variety of information, are stored.
âI wonât let you, Mio!! Thatâs by no means food!!â (Tomoe)
Thatâs right, Tomoeâs roar had resonated just a few seconds after the report.
