How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

Page 110

Hill has a good physique and is very efficient at absorbing experience points, or rather, her experience bar is very short.

Could she be the chosen one? A gem comparable to Gojo-sensei?

No, no, no, we can't jump to conclusions. This is only the first day of the underground city.

Let's observe more during the battle.

"This is the crystal core? It's tiny."

Hill took out two crystal cores, each about the size of a grain of rice, and the two carnivorous plants turned into dust and disappeared.

"...It's bigger than what your brother got when he killed the goblin. Hill, you're very lucky."

"Hmm...that's true! After all, it was the first monster Hill killed that he got, so he should be able to get better ones in the future."

Hill said, scanning the crystal nucleus with his wristband.

--------

Then came the experiment with Sirocco.

He tried pouring N11 irritating water on the goblins, which not only made the goblins hate Sirocco, but also stirred up various monsters in the vicinity to hate Sirocco.

"Brother! Are you sure you don't need any help?!"

"No need! Just stay quiet!"

Tell your sister to hide in the tree. Soon after, an army of familiar monsters—goblins, long-legged spiders, toad archers, earth-eating ants, and more—rushes in, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

too horrible!

Facing the monsters' hostility head-on made Sirocco somewhat hesitant.

This is for upgrading! For obtaining the puwa!

Besides, my level is 10 levels higher than theirs, so I can just deal with them calmly.

If Mute can kill the BOSS in an instant, it's not impossible for me to kill some mobs in an instant.

"Drink!"

Sirocco let out a battle cry to rouse himself and charged toward the legion.

As it turns out, Sirocco was overthinking things.

Three minutes later.

"Huff...huff, did I make this?"

The ground was littered with the corpses of low-level monsters, and Sirocco was only slightly sweaty.

"What? I'm still pretty strong."

In terms of dominating weaker opponents.

This scene made Sirocco feel a little disgusted, but Hill seemed completely unconcerned, jumping down from the tree and hugging Sirocco like a facehugger.

"That's amazing! Brother is so amazing! You wiped out the entire enemy team, that's incredible!"

"Don't hold my head, the armor is poking me and it hurts."

"Huh? Is that so?"

He easily wiped out the monster army.

It hasn't been upgraded at all.

The bottleneck to upgrading lies right here.

Sirocco abandoned the efficient method of pulling a large number of monsters into a trap and killing them all at once—mainly because it was too troublesome and didn't yield enough experience points.

In the subsequent monster-slaying battles, Hill took the lead.

She began trying out every different weapon.

"So hard to hit!" (Straight sword)

"The damage is too low! Although the feel is good." (Dagger and short sword)

"Whoa! Why is it flying towards Hill?!" (Meteor Hammer)

"Too light." (Stick)

No matter what kind of weapon it is, Hill can get used to it after a while, but unfortunately she just can't get used to it.

Compared to the initial fear of facing the monster.

She maintained her learning spirit, exploring carefully little by little. Now, Hill fights monsters with the air of someone watching animals in a zoo.

Every time she comes into contact with a different monster, she develops a new curiosity and learns about their weaknesses and how to defeat them.

A few useless skills dropped, but at least they can be exchanged for money.

They will also proactively ask where there are good upgrade points and write them down in their little notebook.

They discovered a wild treasure chest along the way.

"Brother, there's a treasure chest!"

"Don't touch it! Ah—"

However, it was too late; Hill had already opened the treasure chest.

Upon opening it, a look of disappointment appeared on their face:

"There's nothing inside, it's completely empty. It hurts—!"

Sirocco gently tapped his sister's head.

"Don't open treasure chests randomly or get too close to them if there's no rogue or someone with skills like 'trap disarming' in your party. They might be monsters in disguise."

"Huh—? But aren't mimicry monsters only found on the second floor?"

It seems Hill did some research.

But who knows where the production team might have a breakdown?

In my past life, I had incredibly bad luck when playing video games.

It's true that treasure chests can yield good items, and he remembers the locations of safe, fixed treasure chests. Unfortunately, with randomly spawning chests in the wilderness, no matter which level he's on, he mostly opens trap chests, experiencing disastrous consequences...

"In short, be careful with treasure chests. I'll show you the correct way to open them next time. Be as careful as possible when exploring dungeons."

"Hmm...that makes sense, Hill understands."

The humble and eager-to-learn Hill wrote this down in his notebook again.

Sirocco is also a Zen master.

So I've become my sister's tour guide...

Considering the speed at which Hill was leveling up, a strange thought arose in Sirocco's mind.

Could it be that my proud and adorable little sister, Hill, is a genius?

--------

As a result, Hill's preferred weapon has not yet been found.

After completing another round of monster hunting, it was already noon.

The two found a shady spot under a tree, set up a barrier that shielded them from the monsters' senses, and ate lunch while taking a short rest.

We still have an afternoon, so we can take our time trying out the weapons we're comfortable with.

Incidentally, Hill's level rose to Lv9, leaving Sirocco sweating profusely.

If she really wanted to attend the National Explorers Academy, she could easily get into Class C with her current level.

"Hill's about to start! Huh?!"

The moment Hill put the potato balls from the bento box into her mouth, her astonishment was clearly reflected in her eyes, which were wide open to the extreme.

"Brother, this delicious food is too violent."

The more slowly and carefully the girl ate, the happier she became.

"I made this myself, it tastes pretty good, right?"

Hill nodded repeatedly as he ate heartily.

"No need to rush."

Sirocco used his fingertip to pluck a grain of rice from the corner of his sister's mouth and licked it into his own mouth.

"!"

The sudden skin-to-skin contact made Hill stop eating, her cheeks flushing crimson. If this were a comic book, her head would be steaming by now.

"...As expected of my older brother. Not only is he cute, but he can also fight and cook. He speaks gently and pleasantly, and he smells wonderful... He's practically the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother."

"At least describe him as a good family man, a virtuous wife and loving mother..."

What else is considered "very fragrant"?

"elder brother."

Hill took a deep breath and a smile as bright as the summer sun appeared on his face.
