Volume 1 Chapter 48 Rescue
"Storm Blizzard!"
Clangggg!
When I found the Seeker being attacked by a monster, they were just under attack, so I quickly unleashed 'Advanced Water Attribute Magic: Storm Blizzard.'
At the last moment, I froze and neutralized the huge Flame Ball.
...Wait, what was that?
"Huh!? That was definitely 'Flame Ball,' right? Why is there magic here?"
As I assessed the situation,
"T... "
"T?"
"""Talking Monster!!!!"""
For some reason, I was called a 'monster.'
What even is a 'Talking Monster'?!
"Ex, excuse me!? I'm human! I'm D Streamer!"
I strongly urged the 3 to correct themselves.
"Huh? you're not a Talking Monster?"
"What do you mean, 'Talking Monster'!?"
"As expected of a Talking Monster... cunning. But everyone, don't be fooled!"
"N-no! I'm really not a monster!"
"Uh, um... aren't you one of the monsters over there?"
"I'm not one of them! I'm human! How did it come to this!?"
"""B-but! You look way too suspicious!!!!"""
That's harsh!
"W-what about me is... oh, right!"
I see, that makes sense.
Right now, I'm D Streamer Omega, playing the role of a 'mysterious assassin wearing a death mask.'
That is indeed suspicious.
"I understand. However, there's no need to worry. I'm D Streamer Omega. I've come to help you!"
Bishi!
Nailed it.
Once again, my pose was spot on.
With this, the misunderstanding should be cleared up...
"""*Tremble tremble tremble*!!!!"""
"W-what! Why are you shaking like that!?"
It seems the misunderstanding among the 3 was not resolved.
Rather, it got worse.
"N-no, um, really, I am a Seeker. L-look, please check this! It's my F-Class Seeker registration card, right?"
"Oh, it's true!"
"Huh?! Wait... F-Class?!"
"I-it's really an F-Class... iron registration card..."
Phew... they finally seem to believe me.
Being humble is important.
"I-I'm glad you believe me. By the way, what's the situation now...?"
<<This is the situation>>
Suddenly, a man wearing a tattered brown cloak appeared behind me and attacked.
Thud!
<<Wha?! My attack was blocked with one hand...!!>>
"That was close. I told you, I'm not a monster! Are you one of their friends?"
Seeing his appearance, I thought, "This guy knows what's up..." so I overlooked that he mistook me for a monster and spoke gently.
"No, no! He's the 'Talking Monster'!"
"Huh? Is that so? But... he's talking?"
"That's why I said he's a 'Talking Monster'!"
The 3 of them bombarded me with questions.
...This is harsh!
"So, should I just take him down?"
Saying that, I unleashed a pretty strong 'Intimidation' at him.
<<...Gah?!!>>
Then, the 'Talking Monster' jumped back about 5 meters.
<<W-what are you?!>>
"No, before that, what are you? Is 'Talking Monster' your name?"
<<No! I am Baron! I'm a 'Talking Monster' that is treated specially even among the Deep Floors that you humans fear!>>
"D-Deep Floors?!"
<<Hehe... it seems you've finally realized how significant I am...>>
"Seriously! Your attack earlier was impressive!"
<<...Huh?>>
"If it were normal, I would have crushed you like any other weak monster the moment I grabbed your fist, but you didn't break easily."
<<! ......This guy>>
"I thought maybe I could have a real battle with you, so I'm looking forward to it."
<<You bastard......>>
"Oh, by the way, that magic you used earlier, it's the fire-element intermediate magic 'Flame Ball', right?"
<<What?! W-why do you know about magic......!!!!>>
"I knew it! Hey, what? Is magic here in the modern world too? Or is it just something that 'Talking Monsters' like you can use?"
<<Y-yes, yes, yes...... that's right. Magic can only be used by us 'Talking Monsters'>>
"Hmm, I see."
<<Huh! I see?! You are...... the person that that *gentleman* mentioned>>
"That gentleman?"
<<Hehe, I see. Yes, yes...... I was a bit surprised, but is that so, indeed?>>
"What are you talking about?"
<<Hehe, I see. Yes, yes...... it's you, it's definitely you. You're definitely the 'rude, cocky human' I've been looking for>>
"Cocky? That's quite the accusation......!?"
Bang......Bzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
......In that moment, an aura filled with magical power burst forth from Baron.
I can feel the atmosphere shaking.
"Wow, that's quite a powerful magical aura."
<<Yes, yes...... originally, I was just investigating your existence on behalf of my superior, but...... I've changed my mind. I will crush a cocky human like you right here. Yes, yes...... let's turn that smug expression into one of agony>>
As he said this, Baron's eyes glowed red...... and at the same time, his body blurred.
"Afterimage!?!"
<<Haaah!>>
BOOMMM!!!!
With a speed that left an afterimage, Baron's fist struck my jaw as he appeared right beneath me, sending me flying about ten meters into the air.
But Baron moved even higher than me in an instant, after I was blown away.
<<Hmph!!!!>>
BOOOOM!!!!
With both fists clenched, Baron punched me right in the stomach, and I fell to the ground from the force of the blow.
