Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem

Chapter 125.2

Chapter 125.2. I’ve Been Kidnapped!

-Miu’s POV-

Cutting through the sky, the magic arrow hit the eyeball and exploded with a bang.

“You did good! That’s a [Magic Eye Flower]. It’s a special magical creature that can [Share Senses] through ritual magic.”

“It was very suspicious!”

They were in the game, too! It’s in the dungeon at the Gerer event. In the game, you can get to the boss in one fell swoop by asking the wild heroine to take you to Gerer, without having to conquer this dungeon.

But there’s a back route. If you don’t have a wild child heroine in your party, you have to attack the dungeon.

Since the wild heroine joins the party before the dungeon’s entrance, you usually don’t take the back route. It’s hard for players to go to town after arriving at the entrance.

I learned about it from a strategy site.

The dungeon is full of poison, and the difficulty level is so high that you can’t clear the dungeon unless you’re well-equipped. The dungeon is full of poison, and it’s impossible to clear it, unless you are well-equipped. The drops are tasty.

However, I never imagined this would happen this time. I brought my anti-poison ring simply because of the poison terrain, and I’m glad it helped.

Besides, the dungeon scene is different from the game. There seemed to be no high-level demons. They said it was a new botanical garden, so there must still be only low-level demons. It’s robably because they haven’t gotten the source of power to control the plants.

[Hahahaha! Good. I’ll wait for you. I’m sure your body will be immobile, but hang in there!]

“One more!”

With a quick flick of my magic arrow, I destroy the magic eye flower hiding in the corner. This time, Gerer voice is silent, and the watchful eye disappears.

But after Gerer leaves, Yamiyo’s face is dark.

“It’s not good. ……. Do you have your anti-poison magic tool? How many more hours do you think it will last?”

“Ninny, you also have the anti-poison magic tool, don’t you?”

Calmly, Ninny and the others begin to talk. Ninny removes her small hands when she hears they’re anti-poison magic tools. On her slender arm, she fits a leather bracelet.

“What is that?”

“This is from the age of the gods. It’s a [Caliburn Leather Bracelet] made by the great m Merlin. It was made from the remnants of Caliburn sheath he had made for the Knights of the Round Table.”

“That’s the spirit of waste, Grandma! Ade.”

Smacking pokari, Mii-chan on the head, Ninny proudly shows off the [Caliburn Leather Bracelet].

“As you know, Caliburn’s sword holds fire, and its sheath heals the body. This [Caliburn Leather Bracelet] will also heal a graze, and protect you from poison and disease. Moreover, since it’s a Sacred Artifact from the age of the gods, it automatically heals even if you run out of mana. With this level of poison, it will last for a day.”

I know, I know. I read about its effects in an Indiana Jones novel. I see. It last for a day.

“Em-chan, how long will this ring last? It’s got sapphires. But how long can it run?”

“In a space filled with this poisonous pollen. The consumption should be intense. It seems better to think of it as less than half the normal operation time.”

When Tamamo, an expert in magic tools, says this while looking at the anti-poison ring fitted on her ring finger, Yamiyo joins the conversation with a difficult look.

“You had a small anti-poison magic tool. But with that small size, I’d say an hour?”

Ninny looks at Tamamo and the others’ rings and makes a prediction, and the three of them turn to Mii-chan.

“Operating time, operating time, operating time, let’s say, a thousand years, or maybe a thousand minutes? No, it might have been about five hundred minutes!”

Operating time, huh? Oh, operating time. I didn’t see that in the game.

“Em-chan, you don’t know the uptime?”

“Well, I heard it’s designed to be safe and secure enough to run continuously for a hundred hours anyway!”

“What? Hundred?”

“I heard that when the mana of the ring runs out, it will use the mana of the person who equipped it! I think that’s what they said!”

Since it’s a game-specific magical tool, I can’t even say that the effect lasts forever, so I answer with a school of fish swimming in my eyes.

“More importantly, let’s hurry to the boss! It looks like the human bones here get equipped with magic armor, so there might be some magic stones left!”

I no longer have any choice but to deceive them with my momentum. I say while showing a butterfly of marlin tuna in my eyes. First, we must get the magic stone, no matter what. We need processed magic stones to replenish our magic armor.

I run to the dead human bones entangled in ivy and observe them.

The ivy may have eaten the flesh, but the bones were beautiful. But we can’t let a 10 years old girl scavenge for corpses. I think it’s time for a mentally mature girl like me to make a move.

Quickly removing the magic armor, I operated the mana drive and pulled out a magic stone from the mana drive.

“I got it! I can still use it.”

Tamamo.

Pulling out the magic stone, Tamamo reported with a happy face.

Yeah, how do you take the cover off this mana drive? It’s a weak point in the game specification. My job isn’t [Mechanic], so my knowledge is gone. I have no idea, I guess. A little remorseful. I’ll study it when I get back.

But Tamamo is the family of a magic tool specialist. Naturally, she’s familiar with it.

Let’s see, um, I think, if this is the same standard. That’s the mana drive cover There was no concept of fuel in the game. You just fitted it in, and it ran forever.

Instead, though, the magic barrier was just a defensive force. Flying and releasing magic consumed MP, though. I’d never be able to show you game-specification magic armor.

“I got it too.”

“I’m okay too.”

Yamiyo and the others seemed to be able to remove the magic stone too.

“I found it!”

Mii-chan finally found a way to open the cover and got the magic stone. With a big smile, she looked at the magic stone and saw it was petrified. It was empty.

There was almost nothing left. It seemed I had hit the jackpot. My friends could get what they wanted for with the dropped items, but I was left out. It was a common sad pattern.

“Yes, Em-chan. Here’s one for you, Em-chan. It’s matching with Tamamo’s.”

“Thank you, Tamamo-chan.”

Tamamo is a very good girl. I’m going to pat her head.

I’m not afraid of skeletons, since everyone has been fighting them in training.

They put magic stones into their magic armor and reactivate it. The magical barrier is put up, and Yamiyo and the others are relieved to finally could fight properly.

“Just so I’m asking, are you planning to escape by [Mirror Walk]?”

“Of course not! Onii-sama is just up ahead!”

“Mii-sama. Please lend me your help.”

I know, right? There’s no escape option here, is there?

If what happens next is as expected, it will be traumatic and depressing, but there’s nothing we can do. We have no choice but to do something.

“Okay, then, let’s give Gerer the heebie-jeebies!”

“Oh!”

With a shout from the others, Mii-chan steps into the eerily sprawling passageway.
