Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

■

Surrounded by flames and smoke, a signal flare indicating the retreat was complete was fired into the sky, conveying permission to the girl in the distance to defeat the target.

Before leaving, Finn made a promise with Ais that after getting the members of the Familia away from this direction, he would send a signal, at which point she would do her best to defeat the monster in front of her.

And now, the signal has arrived.

From the start of the battle, the girl, who had been deliberately slowing down and guiding the enemy's movements, broke free of her shackles, unleashing unprecedented speed and violence.

Like a golden flash, her petite figure, enveloped in the misty wind, sped across the land.

In a flash, all the worm legs supporting the giant monster on one side snapped off, and corrosive liquid gushed from the wounds, scorching the earth into a foul-smelling, purple, hot mud.

The flashes did not stop.

Her long, golden hair danced in the wind. In the instant the monster lost its balance and fell over due to the loss of one of its legs, Ais had already arrived behind it. Her small, delicate feet, encased in tall boots, pushed off the ground with force, and the flash of light leaped over the tall obstacle, arriving above the monster's ugly belly.

Immediately afterwards, seemingly realizing the enemy was behind it, the tubular object on the back of the monster's head began spraying corrosive liquid, attempting to drive the enemy off its body.

But it was of no use.

The indestructible weapon, wreathed in wind, cleaved through the corrosive spray, shredding the tubular structures growing from the back of her head. The girl, her attack fueled by the wind, reached her target in an instant.

Sword light flashed repeatedly,

In an instant, the flattened, arm-like organs growing on the monster's body fell off like petals, and the half-human female form growing on the hideous insect let out a piercing scream of pain, "Ah—!" But the next moment, the horizontal sword blade sliced ​​off her head, and then, her chest cavity was torn to shreds by countless sword lights.

The next moment, a huge amount of corrosive liquid gushed out from the wound. Ais nimbly stepped over the fountain of corrosive liquid and landed directly in front of the monster with a light "thump," her brows furrowing slightly.

Not dead yet.

The girl puffed out her cheeks, her gaze fixed on the humanoid parts of the monster she had sliced ​​into pieces.

Her attack was aimed at the possible magic stone, but now it seems that the magic stone is not in the humanoid part, but in the insect body below.

The half-human, half-insect monster was now reduced to its insect form; its humanoid portion had been almost entirely severed by the sword strike, leaving only a section connecting it to the insectoid body that writhed in agony, indiscriminately spraying corrosive liquid outwards.

Then, somehow, the writhing insect body touched the colorful scales, causing the shimmering scales to slowly rise and trigger an indiscriminate explosion that enveloped the already battered insect body.

Amidst the continuous rumbling explosions, the insect's body twisted in increasing agony, and at the same time, it emitted large amounts of black smoke, as if it were being burned.

Let's solve it now.

Ais raised her beloved sword, and the swirling wind around her suddenly began to spin violently, merging her and her weapon into one.

Focus on one thing and reach the pinnacle.

"—Ais-chan! Shouting out the name when unleashing your special attack will increase its power!"

The deception of the Supreme God came to mind.

The girl, deceived by the God, opened her lips and revealed the name of her ultimate skill.

"Miniature strong wind".

Chapter 48: Mind Your Own Business When It's About the Dragon People

"This is Jieyun Village... The scenery is truly beautiful."

After a long two-day journey, Lieyan arrived at its destination and stopped to admire the beautiful scenery it was seeing for the first time.

In autumn, the autumn leaves adorning the renowned hot springs of Yukumo Village are at their most beautiful.

The babbling stream meanders like a jade ribbon, and the red maple trees covering the mountain peaks paint each peak a vibrant red.

The ancient maple tree in the village, which has been growing for countless years, has red leaves that block out the sun. Combined with the hot springs shrouded in mist and the sunlight filtering through the leaves, the unique architecture of Yukumo Village looks like a fairyland.

No wonder Jieyun Village has become a famous tourist destination on the mainland.

These mountains, these waters, these trees,

So fucking beautiful.

Like a country bumpkin entering the city, Lieyan looked around at the scenery, then, with his cat and dog by the gate, entered Jieyun Village.

Surrounded by beautiful scenery, that feeling of entering a fairyland resurfaced.

As if she had received advance notice, at the entrance of Yukumo Village, a young-looking but ageless dragon-human girl, dressed in a light-colored kimono, with her hair piled high like a geisha's, revealing her slender neck, and a maple leaf shawl wrapped around her arms, was already quietly waiting.

When the village chief of Jieyun Village, Zhiyun, saw Lieyan, clad in heavy armor, enter the village, his eyes lit up.

"You must be Mr. Lieyan from Yanhuo Village. I am Zhiyun, the village chief of Jieyun Village. You must have come a long way."

Zhiyun, who looked as if a character from a ukiyo-e print had come to life, had somehow acquired a small fan in her hand and bowed slightly to Lieyan.

To be honest, it wasn't me who suffered, it was my dog... but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

But speaking of which, where did that little fan come from?

Well, never mind, it's best to stay out of the dragon race's business.

"Hello, I am Blaze from Flamefire Village."

Lieyan returned the greeting respectfully, knowing he couldn't embarrass Yanhuo Village while traveling.

"Hehehe, actually, you don't need to introduce yourself. After all, the name of Mr. Blazing Flame, the genius of Flame Village, has long been known in Jieyun Village, which is not far from Flame Village. His achievement of becoming a high-ranking hunter in just over half a year has recently spread almost all over the continent."

Zhiyun, who had half her face covered by a small fan, said with a smile,

"I'm not even close yet."

Despite the praise, Lieyan's expression remained unchanged, extremely calm. Outsiders only knew that he leveled up quickly, but they had no idea that he was actually the worst hunter in the whole village.

"How modest you are. Well then, please follow me. The guest room is ready. Shuiyun should have told you about the reward for the mission, right? After completing the mission, Mr. Lieyan, you can have a good rest in Jieyun Village."

Zhiyun gestured and strolled towards the largest building in the village. Then, as if remembering something, she spoke again:

"By the way, Mr. Flame, let me confirm, are you planning to capture the Rock Dragon alone this time, or are you going with those otherworldly companions that Shuiyun mentioned? If you're going with them, should I upgrade your guest room to a larger one?"

Water Yun? ? ? ! !

What the hell did you say to everyone?!

The idea of ​​time travelers is something you can just casually talk about... right...?

Wait a minute, speaking of which, it seems that transmigrators are not uncommon in the Monster Hunter world, and there even appears to be a professional procedure for it...?

Moreover, a few days ago, he heard from inside the guild that demon hunters from another world had appeared in the New World. For this reason, the Azure Emperor even went so far as to suppress an entire forest by himself and bring back a large amount of fresh ingredients for the cat chef at the base...

……，……

Okay, that's enough. I'm tired. Let's mind our own business and not concern ourselves with the dragon people.

By now, I bet the whole continent... even the guilds in the New World, already know that I can open doors to find transmigrators...

Blazing Flame sighed in despair and said:

"I'm probably alone right now, but my friends from my side should be coming too, so if possible, could you wait until the potential guests arrive before assigning me a room?"

The rest of the clan are still on expeditions. Currently, only Loki and a few nameless individuals remain to guard the area. In short, they can only invite Loki to come here.

Given Loki's curiosity, she probably wouldn't refuse this free trip.

The premise is that Loki stays obediently in the Familia today and doesn't go out.

“No problem.” Zhiyun nodded generously. “Anyway, because of the Yanlong problem, the guests who were supposed to come by land have been transferred to arrive at Jieyun Village by water. However, the waterway has limited carrying capacity. Although it is the peak tourist season, the rooms that were originally full are now a bit deserted. It is no problem to have three or four rooms available.”

Of course, these guest rooms are also included in the mission's compensation.

You're a good person, boss lady.

It's decided. If Loki offends you, I'll use my iron fist to invoke Judgment.

"I am extremely grateful."

The passion of the flames comes from within.

"Not at all, not at all. As long as Mr. Blaze and his companions can capture the Rock Dragon soon, Yukumo Village can return to its former state sooner. A few guest rooms are nothing. We're here. This is the hot spring inn I manage, Maple Leaf Pavilion."

After a pleasant conversation, Zhiyun and Lieyan arrived at the inn.

Blazing Flame surveyed the inn's decor, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said:

"This decor reminds me of..."

"The assembly hall, is that right?"

Seemingly anticipating what Lieyan wanted to say, Zhiyun smiled and directly provided the answer to the question.

"The inn I manage is not only the largest hot spring inn in the village open to tourists, but it is also a branch of the guild, responsible for receiving hunters. In addition, some hunter-specific medicinal drinks can only be purchased here."

"The same structure is actually quite common in guilds. It's the same in Flame Village, where there are shops that sell dumplings, and in the New World, there are restaurants."

Can this be the same!

Whether it's dumplings or cat food, they're all food! And it's clearly a part-time job; the main job is running the gathering place. But boss lady, your main job is clearly running a hot spring inn; running the gathering place is just a side job!!

Huh? What did you say?

There are no resident hunters in Yukumo Village, so the gathering hall is indeed a part-time job...

amount……

Okay, there's nothing wrong with saying that...

Indeed, it's best to mind your own business when it comes to dragon people.

Chapter 49: Want to come to a hot spring? The kind where you can fight monsters.

It's no wonder that Maple Leaf Pavilion is the largest hot spring inn in the entire Yukumo Village.

The guest room was clearly meticulously decorated, like stepping into a scene from an anime. The entire guest room was about 100 square meters in size, with bedding piled up near the walls, including blankets and a large number of pillows enough for a dozen people to have a pillow fight.

Opposite the sliding wooden doors is a corridor that extends into the outside scenery.

A winding cobblestone path led to a small pond. As expected of a hot spring inn, even the pond itself seemed to radiate steam. The maple trees beside the pond swayed gently in the breeze, their red leaves occasionally falling into the water before drifting away further.

The Japanese-style architecture appears exceptionally harmonious in this landscape, as if it has blended into one with the scenery, becoming a natural part of the beautiful picture.

"Just looking at this scenery is enough to heal the soul; this tourist destination truly lives up to its reputation."

"That's right, meow. If I confess to a beautiful female in this kind of environment, I'll definitely be able to get rid of my single status."

Lieyan couldn't help but sigh, while Ailu beside him looked completely absorbed, though her words were somewhat dangerous.
