When you live for a while, you start to notice things you didn’t notice before. I just had such an experience. I just realized that, surprisingly, adults are scolded more than they were children.
My landlord yelled at me the other day, and now this. But since I was definitely at fault, I can’t argue back.
Ahh…
Anyway, let’s get it together.
Like the employee of the Seeker Association said, it would be terrible if there was a cave-in and someone died, which might have been me. With that in mind, I got off easy with just a reprimand. And so, I decided to be more careful with my rock cannon (I named them).
But… The idea itself isn’t bad. If I work on it a little…
The problem is that there was too much power. I don’t want to risk causing a cave-in, even if it isn’t near the entrance. Plus, with my weak stats, I would die if it buried me.
I need to dial it back. If I can’t use so much power that it causes a cave-in, I just need to use less.
So how do I do that? The answer is to not make the Storage Gate as large as possible, and use smaller rocks.
I start picking up tiny rocks and putting them in the Storage space. And when I fire…
Jyagagagagagagah.
Oou, it went well.
The many pebbles come out like shotgun pellets, and broken crystals fall. Ether crystals fall too, so this is good.
This is a little far from the entrance, so I won’t bother people. It doesn’t look like it will cause a cave-in either. Well, I’ve taken some distance, so it will be fine if a small one happens.
Fufufu, I feel like my time has come. I stuff a bag with spare pebbles, so my Storage space can keep firing…
“Gugyaaaaa.”
“Eh? Uwaaaaaaaaah.”
Ah, I just shot whatever was approaching.
Eh? Eeh? That looked like a person? Did I shoot someone? This is bad. And there’s nothing I can do. There’s blood and minced flesh all over… Ah, this is…
Bleh-urrgh…!
………………

It’s taken a while for me to calm down, but I’m okay.
The thing that was approaching me was a humanoid magic beast, not a person. Thank goodness.
Part of the head is intact, and it clearly looks canine, so I assume it was a kobold. They are bipedal, and attack with different equipment depending on the individual.
I’m okay then. That was dangerous.
The kobold is completely minced, and it’s a very gruesome sight. I can’t even look at it straight.
People are shown magic beasts in horrible conditions during video courses when we get our seeker licenses, but actually seeing it is very different.
But we need to take magic beasts apart to make money from them, so I’m going to have to get used to it. That said, it’s tough for me right now. It’s not just how it looks, it’s how it smells.
Pirorin.
Ah, I leveled up.
Seekers gain experience from hunting magic beasts. So that’s how we are informed.

With new fangs and after seeing a vision of hell, he will produce more hellish visions.
He knows. This is a world the law can’t reach. Lives are treated lightly, and as Zenjurou fears his own strength, more cries will echo in this land.
