Chapter 90 Ohohoho!
The size of the lion-shaped golem is larger than the ruins boar that Therese fought earlier. I guess it was made out of respect for the real thing, but it didn’t seem to have imitated the size of the original creature. Every time it walks, the stone floor cracked lightly. It looks like it weighs a lot.
「Grrrr….」
「Ohohoho! It’s growling and it’s hostile desuwa! It’s full of motivation desuwa!」
「That’s not motivation, but killing intent! Therese-san, set up your shield!」「You don’t have to tell me desuwa!」
As Therese set up her shield with loud laughter, the golem’s hostility turned completely towards her. By the way, golems or beasts can’t understand the words of Therese. And yet, it goes straight to Therese as if it’s natural. The opponent can understand words if it’s human, but it’s not the case. I think that similar things can be done if there is a skill that attracts hostility such as 『Provocation』 skill. However, her skills are all about defense, so she wasn’t using any skills.
So, I’m wondering if she has a unique skill, a skill that makes her easier to attract attention or something like that. If that’s the case, then she is excellent as a tanker. Really, why did you become a magician?
――Zun!
「It’s heavy! But not as heavy as Haruna-san’s fist!」
Therese received the golem’s rush and endured with a fighting spirit while stepping back a little. If it’s just her defense, she’s already beyond an expert. After all, even a knight in this line of work wouldn’t have such an inclined composition. Then, Haru and Chinatsu launch an attack, taking advantage of the opening of the golem whose attack was defended by Therese’s shield.
「Sei!」「Ha!」
With a black staff and a katana, the golem’s limbs are crushed and cut off. Haru’s black staff easily crushed the golem’s leg, and Chinatsu seems to have grown to the point of being able to cut the stone with the katana. The golem, which has lost its mobility, drops the remaining torso and is trampled by the bottom of Therese’s big shield.
「Offense is the best defense! In other words, defense is the best offense! Ohohoho!」
It seems that a third party would mistakenly think that it was such a play when looking at her beat the enemy while laughing loudly. Well, I know that she has no such personality, okay?
Well, the golem, which had lost most of its HP when it lost its limbs, was mercilessly defeated by Therese’s attack as the last attack. Hmm, I guess it’s a level 4 monster, huh? By adventurer standards, it’s as strong as a veteran party. It would be troublesome if there were too many of them.
「Deris, in the end, you are looking at this side, huh?」
「Well, Lily’s battle is long over after all.」
Pointing behind me, there was golem wreckage that shattered into pieces and Lily, who was removing the dust on her maid outfit. I put a restriction that she could only fight with martial arts, but that wasn’t even a handicap and she killed it in an instant. Therefore, I was watching Haru’s fight from the middle.
「If all golems were like this, it would be easy.」
「It’s a bit of a letdown for me. It won’t be training for those girls, right? It might be still better to fight Gobuo.」
「Gobu!?」
No, I won’t let Gobuo be a sparring opponent. After all, he is the precious assistant of our maid. Not to mention the case with the griffon, our disciples have become really strong in this short period of time. If I were to express it concretely in numbers, it would look like this.

==============================
Look at this growth rate. It’s different from two days ago. I guess it’s because they trained intensively with playing catch. Especially, Haru’s Throwing Skill has finally reached its maximum and has risen to even greater heights. The new skill 『Boulder Throwing』, Boulder Throwing, huh… As usual, Haru hasn’t confirmed her status yet, but does it mean that she can throw a boulder if she wants to? With a curve pitch, that is. Also, she will become a level 5, which needs 200 of the total value of the related skills, soon. If a convenient strong enemy appears, she may be able to conveniently level up.
Chinatsu is continuing to level up at a quite fast pace, even if she’s not as fast as Haru. With the help of the consultation office and my good intentions, her Encouragement Skill is already level 14. If she continues to grow steadily as it is, her weakness in endurance will gradually be covered.
For reference, the total value required to reach job level 6 is 400. There’s still a long way to go in this aspect. After all, keeping a balance between the fighting style and status is something unavoidable. It’s different for a hero, though.
Still, Awe insisted that level 6 is twice as strong as level 5, didn’t she? Haha, there are people like Therese, so that’s not always the case. Job-related skills are not everything.
「But hey, if they keep this up as it is, they are going to starve for an opponent. Especially Haru.」
「Goshujin-sama, you have Lily~」
She was in a good mood and twined her arms around my arm. Stop, Nell is unleashing her killing intent. The monsters (prey) will run away.
「I’m not talking about a training opponent, but a real battle opponent. Ah, right. Lily, we returned Dinbellar the other day, right? What was his employer like?」
「Ehh, Lily doesn’t really look at people she’s not interested in… Well, he’s pretty angry, I guess? Even though he’s just a newcomer, he’s getting carried away just because he became one of the Great Eight Demons.」
「I’m grateful that he’s so quarrelsome. When the graduation festival is over, I’m planning to have him be our opponent even if he doesn’t want to.」
「Ah, come to think of it, the meeting is close. Goshujin-sama, will you come too?」
「Depending on the situation.」
「Ya~y! A trip with Goshujin-sama~!」
「…… In that case, Nell will come too.」
「Eh!?」
Are seriously trying to burn this dungeon to ashes? Gobuo, who was next to Nell, was hit by her killing intent and collapsed, you know!?
「A-Ara? I feel a little dizzy…」
「I wonder if this is a trap…? The room is in a dangerous state…!」
「The amount of magic power that fills the room is also enormous! Shishō, maybe the boss will come out!」
Yeah, the last boss may come out.
