Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 300: Commence the exploration

Chapter 300: Commence the exploration

While I was developing the caverns in the Sky Island, the Aligerous tribe raised their levels to some degree and acquired skills with Sophia and the girls leading them, so it’s just about time that we start to thin out the monsters and investigate the ancient ruins containing the dungeon...... or so it should have been, but.........

「Please take me with you too!」

「No, I should be the one that goes!」

「「What did you say?!」」

When we decided on the members for the exploration, Sophia, Maria, Kaede, Laeva, and I who have an interest in the ruins were the five from our party immediately chosen. Akane and Lulu-chan said they would have tea with Princess Mimir at the mansion. So she had gotten close to the Elven princess at some point, huh?

Next, we talked about heading for the ancient ruins with Valzak-san who was one of the chiefs that knew the monsters since the overflow, Berkut who was proud of being one of the strongest among the tribe despite being a woman, plus one more person, but......

「I am the next chief!」

「Bullshit! I will be the next head!」

Doga!

「Uu! You bastard, you done hit me now!」

Baki!

「Guh! You son of aー!」

The two who began trading blows to compete for the last spot were Valkan-san’s son Vart-kun and Valzak-san’s son Valto-kun. These two were definitely the sons of chiefs, but......

「They’re competing for the lowest in strength though.」

「Bagworm is still a bit stronger.」

Sophia stated her opinion so sharply. Kaede’s follow up wasn’t good either.

「「I sincerely apologize.」」

「Guh, that ain’t true! I am stronger than anyone in the Aligerous Tribe!」

「No way, Vart-kun has been slacking, so leave him out.」

「Guh......」

As expected, he couldn’t deny that they was clearly competing for the bottom. Valkan-san was right in front of him, after all.

「Hey you, you can use recovery magic. Use it on me!」

Gon!

Valkan-san who reached his limits dropped his fist directly onto the crown of Vart-kun’s head.

「I’m very sorry, Iruma-dono. I will monitor my foolish son, so I will rely on you for the search.」

「Ha, haha, I understand.」

The fainted Vart-kun and Valto-kun were dragged to the back.

「Now then, let us make our way.」

「......right.」

There were a few bumps before our departure, but it looks like we’re finally going to be able to start our exploration.
