Level Up Just by Walking. In 10 Thousand Steps It Will Be Level 10000! Chapter 18

The Appearance of A Female Knight

And here we are, the south beach!

Blue sky!

White sand beach!

And the lining up beach huts!

However there’s no tourist anywhere!

The only one here is us!

Why?

That is because a giant squid has appeared here!

“The beach is reserved for us, Tetsuya-san!”

After we arrived at the destination village, Aria suddenly changed into her swimsuit in the inn, and then delightfully shouts so when we arrived at the beach.

“This excitement is irresistible.”

Similarly like Aria, Mimily also wear her swimsuit, and restlessly standing next to her.

By the way, when we purchased the swimsuit for Mimily, we asked the shop to make a hole for her tail.

Because of that, I can see her sticking out cute tail is delightfully swaying.

Of course, I also wear a swimsuit.

However, atop my flying bed, of course!

Rolling on the bed at the reserved white-sanded beach.

Yup, this sure is the ultimate luxury!

“No no, Tetsuya-san. We’re at a beach, you know? So let’s go and swim together.”

Aria dissatisfiedly says so.

“No no, you guys. Since you come here to subjugate the giant squid, please search for it first.”

The village mayor dissatisfiedly says so.

The village mayor; who has a splendid white beard; is looking at us; who wear swimsuits and are in high spirit; from a distance with eyes that are asking ‘when will you start doing your work?’.

I understand your feeling.

I understand it, but please understand our feeling that want to have a fun, too.

“Mayor-san, even if you say so, the fishermen are too scared and won’t take out a s.h.i.+p, you see? Or rather, the squid is usually at the bottom of the sea, right? So there’s no means for us to search for it. There’s nothing we can do but waiting here till it shows itself.”

I answer him with a logical reason.

I answer him in a serious manner, but the real reason is simply because searching for it would be a pain, though.

“No, well, that’s might be the case, but… then, when it really shows itself, please properly subjugate it. Since there were several tourists who got eaten by it already… so, we have to subjugate is as soon as possible.”

“Yes. Please leave it to us.”

When I give him a nod while smiling, mayor-san reluctantly leaves.

Well then, with this it’s literally only us here.

“Tetsuya-san, just for today, please get off the bed and play with us!”

“…it can’t be helped then. As expected, even for someone of my level, I still can’t win against the charm of this beautiful beach.”

I get down to the sand beach.

I can feel a gritty sensation at my bare feet.

“Tetsuya-san is finally standing on the ground!”

“You’re too exaggerating it.”

“No, it even wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it as the ‘descent’ of Tetsuya-san! Ah, no, as expected that’s a bit too exaggerated!”

Aria is excited by herself, and then cooling off by herself, too.

What a busy person.

“Let’s stop saying such strange thing, and immediately enter the sea.”

Mimily is looking at us with a face that says she’s already tired of waiting.

Her ears and tail are swaying in an impossible ways.

Seems like she’s going to be torn apart by her restlessness.

“Okay, then let’s have a race to reach the water first!”

“Bring it on!”

“Ready-, go.”

“Ah, Mimily-san! Why do you arbitrarily take a start by yourself?!”

Mimily takes a start one step earlier and Aria immediately chases after her.

While looking at their cute appearance from behind, I take a start.

Of course, I don’t run with my full power.

If I run with my full power, perhaps, the sands might fly till the s.p.a.ce. Or rather, I feel like the village might get obliterated by the shock wave, and the sea will boils by the heat.

That’s why I hold myself back, but, even so, I’m pretty sure that I’m still running around a bullet train speed, aren’t I?

Overtaking Aria and Mimily in an instant, I plunge myself into the sea.

Splas.h.!.+

How refres.h.i.+ng!

【You have reached Level 500】

【You have acquired Level-lease skill】

Ooh, I’ve reached level 500.

It’s been seven days ever since I came to this world, but… I still only did 500 steps, huh.

In a sense I sure am amazing, right?!

By the way, what kind of skill is this level-lease?

“Tetsuya, too fast.”

“At last I catch you up!”

When I’m going to read the explanation about level-lease, the both of girls come and hug me from behind.

I’m sure the one goes *boing* is Aria’s b.o.o.bs. Yup, it feels good.

And the one goes *bam* is Mimily’s chest. I hope it would get bigger soon….

“Tetsuya, sea sure is amazing. Horizon, horizon.”

Mimily is unusually letting out an excited voices while pointing out at the horizon of the sea.

“I can’t see the edge of it! I’ve heard it from rumor, but sea sure is vast, isn’t it!”

Aria also curiously staring at the sea.

I see. So this is the first time for these two to go to sea, huh.

At this world, there’re no automobile nor train.

Even traveling for a short a distance is quite an effort.

Well, as far as I’m concerned, I have this rare item called flying-in-the-sky bed, so I can go anywhere, though.

Also, if we can tame a dragon, seems like traveling is going to be much easier.

Is there anything like dragon knight or something like that, I wonder.

When I’m thinking about such a thing, there’s a dragon knight coming down from the sky.

“…eh, for real?”

Am I seeing a hallucination because I’ve been in such high spirit ever since we came to this beach, or so I thought, but the dragon knight is landing down at the white sand beach not too far away from us.

The dragon’s size is just a little bigger than a horse, four-legged, and its scales are blue colored.

There are also saddle and rein attached so that it would be easier for people to ride it.

And then, the one riding that dragon is, a young woman.

Her ages is perhaps around twenty.

She has a burning red hair that extended till her back. She’s quite a beauty.

Her attires are similarly like how it was usually described at light novels.

At least, since she wears an iron breastplate, gauntlets, and boots, seems like her defense is considerably good.

“You guys there. This sea is dangerous, you know? Haven’t you heard that a giant squid has appeared here? Go out of the sea quickly!”

The female knight-san is shouting out at us; who are at the sea; while still straddling her dragon.

“Ah, please don’t worry about us, because we’re adventurers who come here to subjugate that giant squid, after all.”

When I answer so, the female knight-san makes a somewhat hard expression.

“What, adventurers, you say? So this village has sent a request to the guild, huh… that giant squid isn’t something that could be subjugated by mere adventurers. Sorry to say it, but if you’re still cheris.h.i.+ng your life then give up on this request.”

The ‘mere adventurers’ that is mentioned by the female knight-san perhaps are those adventurers with level around 20 till 30, right?

That exactly where Aria and Mimiliy are.

‘It’s impossible for people of such level so please give it up’, seems like that is what she wants to say.

Her expression is a bit scary, but she sure is a nice person.

Well, I’m at level 500 so I’d be fine, though.

Nevertheless, just who is this female knight-san, I wonder?

Let’s peek at her status for a bit.

Name            : Rosetta Holy lance

Level             : 70

HP                  : 301

MP                 : 255

Attack           : 207

Defense        : 146

Agility           : 172

Luck              : 98

Ooh, strong!

This person is unbelievably trained.

I’m a bit curious about how low her luck is compared to her level, though… it feels like she’s going to be attacked by orcs the moment she puts her guard down.

“Ah! That garments, could it be… you’re a knight-sama from Nifrea royal knight!?”

Aria shouts so after looking at the female knight-san.

Royal knight, huh… no wonder she’s strong.

However, is that giant squid really that strong till a royal knight need to take an action?

Perhaps it might be indeed a bit too dangerous for Aria and Mimily.
