Day 127: Ms. Mia and the Giant Crab.
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Moon Sheep, 18th day.
Weather: Sunny
We’ve been exploring the coastal cave dungeon since yesterday.
That being said, we’ve mostly stayed on the first layer, where the water was the most shallow.
As we didn’t know how capable Ms. Mia was, we could not go anywhere too dangerous…
At least, I had been worried about that at first… But it turned out that Ms. Mia was very strong.
Even now, she was battling a giant crab…
She blocked attacks with her shield, and as the crab was staggered, she would thrust her trident between the gaps in its joints.
There was not a wasted movement when she fought.
Also, how was she fine taking the impact of such an attack?
Giant crabs were exactly what they sounded like.
When standing, you had to look up in order to see their heads.
And so when they swung down with those pincers, it would not be easy to stop them.
However, Ms. Mia blocked them with her shield as if it was nothing.
How could such strength come from such skinny arms…
As I thought of such things, she bashed her shield into the giant crab.
Unable to withstand the blow, a crack appeared on the shell.
A shield bash!? That was a technique where you used your shield like a blunt weapon…
Is Ms. Mia really just a fisherwoman?
It would make more sense if she was a former Adventurer, just like Ms. Noa.
Like that, she continued to overwhelm the giant crab until the fight was over.
We barely had to do anything to help.
Not only that, but this was now the twentieth crab of the day.
Ms. Mia was now smiling and licking her lips as she stood next to it.
‘I love crabs, nyaa!’ She said… Uh, we’re going to sell everything, alright?
We need to make enough money to repair the boat.
After that, we defeated another ten giant crabs while making our way to the surface.
As we were mostly just scouting the area this time, we would leave early.
However, since we knew that Ms. Mia was capable now, we would prepare to go farther next time.
With this party, we should be able to go quite deep.
Hehe. If everything went well, we might be able to make some extra money!
By the time we left the dungeon and arrived at the guild, it was around evening.
We then traded in the materials.
Ms. Mia looked like she was going to cry at losing all of the crab meat…
Hey, why do the other two look disappointed as well!?
It-it’s not like I didn’t want to eat it too! Hmph!
We then gave ninety percent of the money to Ms. Mia.
We could have taken a little more, but…
Still, at this rate, we should be able to make enough money in no time.
Now, it was time to return to the inn.
…Ah, but we should go to the Alchemists Guild first!
In order to protest!
Once that was finished, we would retire to an inn that served crab.
…There’s nothing wrong with that! I still want to eat it!
Huh? You’re coming too, Ms. Mia…?
I don’t mind, but… You have to pay for yourself, alright?
