Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 136: Sometimes We Fail. That's What It Means to Be Human. Part 2

Haa Then, what should we do?

As soon as Lily sighed, her expression turned tired and she asked me so. Eh, Im a little hurt by that reaction, though? Well, its kinda expected if we look back on my actions so far

We wont go with yesterdays method since its cold. Lets go with a different method today. Even if there are other ways than that, it will be nasty, wont it?

Why did you immediately decide that its going to be nasty? Todays method was actually quite good.

I want to move my body more~ Do you want to go head-on against multiple spellcasters? That sounds bad when you say that, but the three of us can win, yeah?

That might be the case. But

I dont want both of you to get hurt. If you say so. Ill put up with it then.

Yeah, please dont be rash.

By the way, we started moving after discussing! Just like yesterday, I used the magic armor to hold them in my arms, approaching the entrance of the cave. According to Norns [Detection], there were no monsters around. But goblins might come out of the cave, so we were cautious.

Once we reached the entrance, I covered two-thirds of the entrance again as I did yesterday. And this was where things were going to be different.

Todays nest was barely enough to fit the magic armor. If I froze it like how I did yesterday, it would be impossible for me to enter. Moreover, it slopes gently downward as we go deeper.

So I would use [Multitasking]1 to use two-attribute magic at the same time. While making water with water magic and pouring it into the cave, I shoot a high-voltage current to the water with lighting magic.

Pouring too much water would be troublesome when we enter the cave to collect the corpse, I keep the amount moderate while adjusting so that the entire floor of the cave got wet.

Giiii!? Gwahhhhh!!?? GWAH AGWAH AGHH!!!!?

Ohh, I could hear the screaming faster with this method.

Ren, this is a bit too much. Its worse than yesterdays

Hahaha! Say anything you want!

The goblin nest capture operation laced with torture continued for around 30 minutes. I cut the magic once I couldnt hear screams anymore. Next, we rushed into the nest to collect the corpse. But

It stinks! So smelly! It stinks so much

Yeah, it smells really bad. Very much so.

The already stinky goblin nest became even worse with the burnt smell of the goblin corpse that burned to death alive with a high voltage current! I definitely didnt want to go into the nest still smelly! How could I erase this smell! No, Im inside the magic armor so it didnt affect me, but what about the others? Ah, Norn already went far away before I knew it. Im sorry! Im sorry!

Ahhh! No way, this operation was a failure! But

I definitely dont want to go in, but we have to.

Right. In the worst case, I could just go alone I did this myself, so I would do my best

Lily, what if you use that? That? What do you mean? Did something happen? Its wind magic quirks. Applying the wind attribute of the Magic Sword to the clothes will create a pocket of air around our body. Then we can block this stench, right? Ah! Thats right! Arisa, youre a genius!

Oh, theres such a method!?

When we tried it immediately, we succeeded in blocking the odor as Arisa said! Arisa, amazing! Youre great!

Ive been thinking about this for a long time, but Arisa actually used her head a lot even if she acted like she wasnt, you know? Or is this her true ability? Which is it?

With Arisas wit, we took measures against the odors and finally rushed into the cave. Well, we were greeted by brutally charred corpses. I collected all of them in [Storage].

Ummm Yeah, the magic stones were safe. Its good that I managed to adjust my magic properly.

As we proceeded through the cave, we also found the corpse of the spellcasters. Even so, the second one was still alive, just barely.

Hup!

Arisa attack! And the goblin was dead!

It didnt struggle. How boring. Put up with that, Arisa. I know~

Yeah Sorry about that? As compensation Ill cook delicious food?

The innermost part of the cave was still a hall, which seemed to be where the leader resided. Same as in the previous room, one spellcaster was still barely hanging on to life.

Hah!

Slash its neck! And the goblin was dead!

Does being a spellcaster mean that their magic resistance is also high? I think so. But Ren also restrained your power, right? Yes. I dont want the magic stones to break If you dont restrain it, I think itll die. Even if its a spellcaster, its still a goblin after all. Are you sure about that? Im sure about that.

I see.

But this strategy is a failure. Yeah Im sorry Ren, but Id like you to not do this in the future when were in a small closed-in-place. I understand. But dont you think this will be quite effective when dealing with lizardmen in swamps? Ah, that might be true! No, forget that. We will have to step on the water too, so we might get hurt from the electric shock. Oh Then Ill have to think of a way to deal with that. Is that any? There must be, right?

Then we returned to the town as we had a light chat.

The next day, we heard that the guilds investigative team who went to the cave had a hard time with the smell.

Just as expected.
