Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Episode 9 Little Sun

The magic stone necklace he grabbed with his last strength shattered as Azu wished.

A red orb appeared from the broken stone.

The red sphere was small, but unlike its size, it illuminated the cave brightly.

Everything in the cave that was shrouded in darkness has been revealed.

The centipede stared at the scarlet object for a moment, then threw Azu away and ran away at her full speed.

Arzu fell to the ground, unable to move from her pain and shock.

But at that very moment, a huge magic circle appeared from the scarlet object, then disappeared.

Cracks formed on the object’s surface, and compressed heat poured out.

A magical barrier was created around the user, Arzu, and everything else was burned.

The centipede could not escape and was engulfed in fire.

The fire that filled the cave melted it all as it headed upward with fierce momentum.

It was overwhelming firepower.

The pillar of fire soared from the underground to the ground at once, completely changing the terrain and then disappearing.

The sun came into what used to be a cave. The cold and hard places all melted like lava, and only the area around Azu escaped the fire.

Az was just blankly staring at the scene.

As the stone melted by the wind hardened, Az finally came to his senses.

She finally realized her condition.

A face stained with tears and runny nose. A body full of wounds.

And the wet and cold lower body.

It was still warm around, so I didn’t think I would catch a cold.

As soon as she was able to breathe properly, Azu, who was in panic, calmed down little by little.

I lived. Yes, i lived

The giant centipede that tried to eat Arzu whole disappeared without a trace.

She was wrecked, but Azu survived safely.

Az hugged himself.

She burst into tears again. The tears I shed earlier were cold, but these tears are hot enough to burn me. Her relief that she was alive overflowed.

I picked up her broken necklace at her feet.

In fact, the moment she thought she was going to die, she even felt resentful towards her master.

However, this necklace far exceeded Azu’s imagination.

She said it was three gold coins, but that couldn’t be the case.

Her thread should be much more valuable than Az.

Right now, I’m just grateful to my master for giving me something like that for self-defense.

And I realize that they value me.

Of course, the master made me do such a reckless thing.

Continuing, Azu checked her own body and let out a sigh. She was in a bad shape.

Throws off her soiled underwear.

She took her towel from her slightly torn backpack.

I soaked her in water and wiped her face first, then the filth-stained body.

I wet the water bottle until it ran out of water and squeezed it repeatedly, and it finally came clean.

Perhaps because of her meticulous personality, the owner also put a change of clothes in her backpack.

She was wearing new underwear, shorts and a t-shirt.

Let’s just throw away the dirty towels and unworn clothes.

After carrying my backpack again, I felt like I was going to live.

Now that the surrounding heat has subsided, you can walk.

Ah, the shoes are also broken.

I was looking for somewhere to climb, but something fell nearby.

It was the head of a centipede.

I tried to get into her defensive position, but the centipede was already dead.

It slowly collapsed and then disappeared.

Arzu just looked at the scene.

She immediately felt a great power flowing through her body.

By defeating the centipede with her magic stone, she inherited some of the centipede’s powers.

A sword fell where the centipede’s head had been.

Is this what the Guild said about defeating powerful monsters and sometimes getting weapons?

All of the original weapons and armor were no longer usable.

Az picked up the sword on the floor.

It was heavy, but I didn’t care if it was because of the reinforcement.

Wields a sword with both hands.

I heard the sound of cutting the wind.

I don’t know yet whether it’s a good sword or a bad sword, but it must be a good one.

Would you be happy if you brought it to the owner?

Come to think of it, I need to retrieve the burning stone as well.

I made a makeshift scabbard out of a towel and fixed it to my back with a string.

Now both hands do not feel numb.

I slowly climb up the bumpy wall that has melted in the heat.

It’s hot because you’re still holding it, but not enough to burn yourself.

I climbed diligently and reached the ground safely.

After noon, the time for evening has arrived.

Az looked back at the big hole made by the fire.

Maybe it’s a problem.

But she couldn’t help it. If he hadn’t used the magic stone necklace his master gave him, Arzu would have been in the stomach of that terrifying monster by now.

I have no choice but to tell the master honestly. Hoping to lighten her mood at least a little, she takes the stone she left behind and heads back to town.

It was night and the city gates were closed. She sat with her back against the outer wall, curled up and rested.

I miss you. She remembered the days when she was kicked out of the house because she made a mistake and stayed up all night outside.

Crouching over her body relieves the cold, albeit a little.

I saw several adventurers in similar poses around me.

Some people approached Azu, but she backed away when she deliberately held her sword behind her back.

… The world is cruel. If it had been Azu before being sold to her master, she would have treated everyone carelessly.

But now it’s different. She has the option of defending herself.

The status of being a slave made Arzu much happier.
