Chapter 176: …By the way, are you really level 18? Somehow only seems middle-class level

"Everyone safe?"

After combat ended, Uraka standing on the containers asked around.

"If injured I’ll heal!"

Following, after the fight ended a woman in purple combat uniform who appeared on the deck raised her voice.

Combat uniform with many pockets, so known magic job.

"Safe!"

"Not done in by Living Armor degree!"

"The dangerous Red Armor Kazu defeated!"

The crew raised voices one after another and appealed their own safety.

To the degree of being done in by one sun mark... Private-class small fry level monsters, the deck personnel of this ship not weak.

The only one who faced two sun marks... Corporal-class was only Kazui, so all crew safe.

Incidentally the one who mentioned Kazui defeating Red Armor was Clio.

"If safe good! Next container and hull check!"

As Uraka instructed the deck personnel scattered and started checking whether containers and hull damaged.

"Well containers side think safe, felt defensive barrier not broken."

The woman in purple combat uniform talked to Uraka.

Quite tall woman though not to Uraka’s degree.

Unlike muscular tightened Uraka not fat but meaty type.

Uraka also chest rich class, but to the degree such Uraka seeming ordinary the woman in purple combat uniform chest rich.

Age seeming somewhat older than Uraka, features flashy.

Fair skin and somewhat drooping eyes and somewhat thick lips giving a sexy feel.

Semi-long hair purple with loose waves.

A woman wearing various accessories such as rings and earrings.

"If Liz says so probably so."

Uraka returned words to the woman in purple combat uniform, Liz Barotta.

Liz the vice president of Gabalda Roja that could be called Uraka’s right hand, middle-class mage.

Liz who was at the bridge during combat used various defensive magic and defended Gabalda Roja’s hull and containers.

The defensive barrier deployed at the bow when colliding with Red Cliff also what Liz deployed.

Middle-class mage Liz able to use multiple powerful magic skills simultaneously, so alone protected hull and containers.

But as expected hands not reaching attack, so long-range attacks left to subordinate mages.

The defensive barrier defending the hull had a sense of being broken to a certain degree, but the defensive barrier protecting containers no sense of being broken.

That was why containers side safe, Liz thought.

Incidentally Kazui did not notice, but during combat constantly by film-like defensive barrier containers defended.

"Um... container and hull confirmation method I don’t know?"

Walking close to Uraka who had started checking nearby containers, Kazui asked apologetically.

"Ah Kazu fine, don’t do."

After answering in a friendly manner stated the reason not needing to do.

"Handling containers and ship not something somehow in a week or so. Kazu just do watch and combat fine."

"Even though being let ride that feels bad."

"Not such. Just defeating Red Armor more than enough for us."

Following Uraka Liz opened her mouth.

"Right right, the one who could defeat that uninjured in our place only about Uraka. Thanks to you alone defeating it became quite easy fight."

While confirming containers Liz continued.

"...By the way, are you really level 18? Somehow only seems middle-class level."

"Indeed."

At Liz’s words Uraka agreed.

"A little while ago also seeming to use a skill like Rapid Yalt. Using that normally should be middle-class and above."

Uraka had seen midway in the fight Kazui using Rapid Yalt and driving Red Armor.

"Level is 18 lower-class."

After answering Liz’s question Kazui added.

"Even Rapid Yalt even if usable at most ten-odd seconds, not properly usable."

"I see. Well even usable at that age amazing."

"Uraka failed obtaining and gave up training, Rapid Yalt."

"Not gave up! Only interrupting training! Difficult Rapid Yalt training."

(Even middle-class Uraka not obtained Rapid Yalt.)

While surprised Kazui continued in his heart.

(Lumia was amazing.)

Young becoming middle-class, obtaining Rapid Yalt and mastering, from Lumia Kazui had copied.

The height of Lumia’s ability in adventurer days, by Uraka’s words Kazui made aware.

"Hull only some damage parts at bow, degree fixable while running!"

"Container A block no abnormality!"

"C block also no abnormality!"

"Same B block too!"

The crew who finished checking raised voices one after another.

"Then next magic stone recovery. Liz please."

Liz requested by Uraka started chanting a spell, and a white magic circle appeared at her feet.

As the spell progressed letters added one after another inside the magic circle.

"Lux Blum!"

Saying the magic name Liz concluded the spell.

Then as if red flash fired toward surroundings from the magic circle, the magic circle shattered and vanished.

On containers and deck further here and there on the ground as if red lights placed started emitting red light.

What shining magic stones.

Liz used the magic Lux Blum that made magic stones shine.

(As expected middle-class mage, easier to find than mine.)

Kazui also able to use Lux Blum, but effective range narrower than Liz and light weaker, so hard to find.

Liz’s Lux Blum compared to Kazui’s the width of effective range difference of more than double in radius.

(Magic stone picking even I can do, so pick.)

Kazui mixed with other crew and started picking magic stones fallen here and there.

Emitting strong red light, so magic stones easy to find.

"Put magic stones in the cafeteria box! Later convert to money and split per head everyone!"

After calling to everyone Uraka talked to Kazui.

"Our ship that kind of system. Bad for Kazu but even Red Armor’s magic stone share will be split per head."

"That’s fine, ordinary thing."

Ordinary sense, so Kazui convinced.

"Money have the previous thanks money, so not troubled."

"No Kazu... that might be naive."

Uraka continued with a serious face.

"Not only Virgo but labyrinth city prices about double ordinary autonomous cities, and during Reverse Festa jump further."

"Heard high prices talk, but with Reverse Festa rises more."

Putting on a surprised expression Kazui muttered.

"Moreover this time adventurers aiming for the bounty Virgo autonomous government put will rush, so prices might rise further."

"I see..."

"Kazu probably will stay in Virgo nearly one month, so only the thanks money we handed might not be enough."

For Kazui going to Virgo to rescue Iron Maiden, about one month stay, Uraka thought.

"For when going to Virgo also brought about one hundred forty thousand dale of money saved, not enough?"

"Adding to thanks money one hundred forty thousand dale..."

While picking up magic stones Uraka returned answer.

"If that much, while riding our ship the earnings of magic stones of defeated monsters can add a certain degree, so think somehow."

At Uraka’s words Kazui was relieved.

"If not enough I’ll work and earn in Virgo."

"Right, if Kazu in a pinch can earn in dungeon, fine."

"Dungeon... nostalgic."

Liz who was picking magic stones nearby while listening continued words.

"How many years since last diving? Seven?"

At Liz’s question Uraka answered.

"Seven the month after next."

"You two previously diving dungeons."

At Kazui’s words Uraka responded.

"Until before starting this business, with Liz and other guys formed party and diving dungeons here and there."

In a nostalgic tone Uraka added.

"Continued that kind of life over ten years, but companions died one after another. Stopped diving dungeons and started this business."

Hearing Uraka’s talk Kazui recalled Lumia.

Lumia also the trigger of losing companions quit adventurer as occupation and became guild staff.

In broad sense humans with Orb embedded in body all become adventurers.

In that meaning Lumia and Uraka even now could be said adventurers.

In narrow sense adventurer... meaning as occupation, Lumia guild staff, Uraka transporter.

When saying quit adventurer meaning this narrow sense, that is quitting adventurer as occupation.

Humans who embedded Orb if losing Orb die.

That was why adventurers in broad sense could not quit.

That was why obligations as broad sense adventurers such as participating in city defense battles would follow lifelong.

Those without the resolve to fulfill that kind of obligations could not embed Orb and become adventurers.

Despite obtaining not only powerful combat ability but convenient abilities, humans embedding Orb only minority in this world.
