Ogakichi-kun's and Asue-chan's group is currently conquering an underground dungeon called . Unlike the dungeon we just left in , is located in the city .
Ogakichi-kun said, "We just started the conquest of , nothing to tell yet. I promise that by the next time we meet, I'll be sure to Rank-Up."
Ogakichi-kun's last few words had my ears buzzing.
When thinking of that combat addict Ogakichi-kun, I wore an excited smile.
My heart is truly thankful for straight-forward guys like him.
The third group with Supesei-san and Burasato-san have gone into a great search for magical books called [Grimoire]'s which cannot be read unless one has achieved the necessary level.
Those who have the requirements are able to learn the magic spell from it.
They are also seeking to purchase well known demonic swords.
These purchases aren't cheap, but it seems they were able to solve this problem by raiding some bandits who were trying to kidnap Elven slaves
From the sound of it, they used live bait, which turned out to be quite effective.
I hadn't been aware that Supesei-san had many times more magical power than myself in my Ogre form, that fact is now obvious.
Even during our battles with the Empire, the attack power of Supesei-san's abilities easily exceeded that of nearly three hundred people.
If Ranking Up will further increase the level of her magical power, her capacity will rise unimaginably...
Though, there seems to be some difficulties with her ability to locate these magical books.
In this case, the bandits fought against Burasato-san who fought alone, the battle resulted in a literal massacre. They probably didn't even have time to regret their decision.
In close combat, Burasato-san wields her duel [Blood Swords] like some Berserker.
Large-scale destruction magic from Supesei-san combined with the Mages she trains will be quite effective later.
Also, it seems that the Hobgoblins and elves have been training against small-time bandit groups who only attack weaker prey.
The bodies were laid out and used for firewood. I can say that this particular group is quite brutal, though these bandits deserved the dog's death they received.
The fourth group that consisted of the Tiger people and Drago-Newts did their best to keep their distance from me. They spoke to me informally and were quite unfriendly.
The group was made of two Ogres, one Hobgoblin, two Tiger people, two Drago-Newts and three Humans.
The whole group consisted of low-ranking individuals and were not really important overall.
In the end, the Hobgoblin was chosen for his leadership skills rather than his physical skills, mostly because the rest of the group consisted of heavily physical fighters who only spoke with their fists.
Simply put, the group put aside the concept of "the strong rules over the weak".
It was a pretty good test to see if they could manage themselves. Putting them on a long journey together would force them to cooperate or they would not return. I don't expect them to be eating from the same bowl, but recognition of allies and being able to rely on one another is necessary.
I won't intervene if the muscle brains decide to take over the party, but if they do so, they won't receive any kind words from me upon their return.
In my mind, I'm quite sick of their attitude.
The fifth group included five Ogres, two Humans, the Kobold Samurai and a Centaur.
This group was sent to investigate information on plant seeds and other agriculture techniques. Their group was placed under Dodome-chan. Her nature was very suited for information gathering, so I wasn't really worried about them.
Immediately upon leaving the forest, the team was divided into several minor teams and has already collected some very important information.
I wanted to tell them to not overwork themselves and stick to the rhythm.
I plan to reward them well upon their return.
This has shown that our settlement has one more capable leader amongst us.
For the time being, apart from the fourth group, they all seem to be able to do reasonably well.
The only problem is that fourth group. Although it was created to test its members, they still have yet to get used to each other and constantly end up bickering.
Today we traveled quite slowly, but even after that we should arrive at the capital of the Kingdom tomorrow.
Today we spent the night outside.
Today's synthesis results:
[Lord of Sickness] + [Host of Plague] + [Plague Scatter] = [Pandemic Black Apostle]
[Paralysis Nails] + [Burning Nails] + [Nongo Madokatsume] = [Flaming Stunning Nails]
[Thermography] + [Echolocation] + [Presence Sensor] + [Sense Trap] + [Sense Enemy] = [Phased Array]
