Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 8 Am I really a genius?

Unlike yesterday, Charlotte, who had rushed out of the city to hunt the giant toad as a headstrong young man after leaving the stable, did not do so.

Although I have mastered the method.

However, this does not mean that safety is guaranteed.

Yesterday, Charlotte was surrounded by a bunch of giant toads, experiencing a suffocating feeling comparable to being entangled by her own mother. She said she never wanted to experience it a second time.

Moreover, he couldn't guarantee that he would be as lucky as yesterday to be rescued.

listen!

Only an unambitious loser would foolishly hope that a beautiful girl will fall from the sky and save him during his most difficult and embarrassing time.

Charlotte lacks this kind of Jiangnan-style spiritual sustenance.

Therefore, to avoid suffocating like yesterday, he plans to use the remaining 500 erys to make a simple filter-type breathing mask.

Thanks to those short video platforms that always provide him with useless knowledge.

Making a face mask is very simple; basically, it involves using mesh. The thinner, more transparent, and the more mesh you use, the better. Then, layer these meshes together, attach them to the mask, and secure them to your mouth and nose.

It doesn't involve much technology.

The only thing to consider was the face shield, which had to be replaced with a helmet since there was no plastic available, but he managed to find it in a pile of discarded trash.

When Charlotte went online to buy stockings, she said she needed very thin and good quality stockings as a substitute, and the tailor shop owner looked at her with a strange expression.

Could that middle-aged man with the mohawk and overalls have misunderstood something?

By the way.

I never expected that the stockings from another world would feel so good.

Cut the stockings into equal sizes and stack them together. Then, attach them to the nose and mouth areas of the helmet. Next, pull out the elastic band from the sweatpants and string them together. The simple mask is now ready.

"I'll give it a try..."

First of all, it's surprisingly not stuffy when worn, which proves that it has excellent breathability. However, it's a bit heavy, probably because it's a modified helmet.

As for appearance...

Charlotte had no expectations for his craftsmanship from the start. After putting it on, he looked like a bio-engineered soldier who had appeared out of nowhere. It gave people the awkward feeling that he should not have appeared in a medieval fantasy world but in a near-future laboratory, as if he had wandered into the wrong scene.

With this kind of outfit, even if you went to a comic convention to impersonate a BioShock soldier, people would still praise the accuracy.

It does not matter.

As long as he doesn't get mistaken for a terrorist and arrested on the street, he's fine. After all, he values ​​practicality more than good looks.

"Ready perfectly!"

Everything is ready.

With her face mask on, Charlotte felt incredibly safe and couldn't wait to leave the city, intending to confront the giant toads and get her revenge.

He didn't see that a group of adventurers were gathered together not far away. Although they looked tired, they all had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Alright, that concludes this mission. Here's your reward. Thank you for your help, Chris."

"No problem, no problem. I'm a thief by nature, and dungeons are where I really shine. Besides, it was a pleasure working with you all. Let's do it again next time."

"Oh, it's settled."

After agreeing to explore the dungeon together again next time, Chris waved goodbye to the others. The silver-haired thief, having finished her adventure, stretched lazily, indicating she was in a good mood.

"Luckily, I've recovered another powerful artifact."

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Although the rogue class is popular in dungeon exploration, Chris rarely teams up with others.

However, having learned of the lost artifact, and considering it would help them avoid suspicion, they agreed. After a whole night of effort, they successfully retrieved it without being detected.

"Alright, I need to write a report when I get back, and I also need to finish the pile of work as soon as possible. I'm really busy..."

Thinking about this...

She couldn't be happy again.

It's all because of the mess left behind by a certain goddess who descended to the mortal realm some time ago. Otherwise, I wouldn't be running around like this. I can just complain casually when I see her again next time.

"……Um?"

Just as Chris was about to go to a deserted corner and return to the Celestial Realm, she inadvertently saw a person wearing tattered armor and a strangely styled helmet walking towards the city's outskirts.

You can't ignore it.

Residents passing by on the street quickly moved away after seeing him, their expressions tense. Adventurers also gripped their weapons tightly, looking very vigilant. Many people pointed and whispered about him.

It's the same person from yesterday.

Her true identity is that of a goddess, so she naturally knows that Charlotte is a hero who has just been reincarnated into this world.

Unlike other heroes who quickly become powerful by using cheat codes, this newcomer was almost killed by a giant toad on his first day of reincarnation.

Chris watched Charlotte's retreating figure as he was questioned by the guards for quite some time before finally leaving the city, despite her complaints:

"Seriously, I still have so much work to do!"

But after a moment of hesitation, the kind-hearted goddess secretly followed them.

……

Charlotte proved to be right.

The giant toad's slime no longer affects him; he can even sprinkle iron filings into the toad's mouth, letting it quickly taste the unpleasant flavor. In this way, even when surrounded by numerous monsters, he won't be overwhelmed.

In just half a day, they successfully defeated five giant toads.

Five, sure!

Am I really a genius?

Charlotte was smug.

Just then, a rustling sound came from not far away, which alerted him.

Only then did he realize that while he was engrossed in the joy of defeating the giant toad, he had unknowingly arrived at the edge of the forest.

The guild leader said that at his current level, it was strongly advised against doing quests in the forest because there are many powerful monsters there.

Charlotte will remember it.

He instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late; his actions had already attracted the monster's attention.

"roar----"

Suddenly, a roar of a ferocious beast came from ahead, deafening and majestic. Before you could react, a monster leaped out of the bushes beside you.

It is enormous, even larger than tigers and lions, with its entire body covered in black fur and two fangs protruding from its mouth like those of a saber-toothed tiger.

It's a killer for beginners!

This monster is named so because it is highly intelligent and likes to roam around weaker monsters that are particularly easy for novice adventurers to obtain, thus preying on them.

"roar------"

The monster opened its blood-red maw and let out a terrifying roar. After only a second of eye contact, Charlotte turned and ran.

No, no, no!

Beginner assassins don't dislike iron objects, and those sharp, huge fangs can easily pierce through his thin armor. If he gets tackled, he'll definitely be dead!

In addition, this place is quite far from the town.

Whether it's speed, stamina, or endurance, none of them can compare to the beginner killer, and Charlotte doesn't believe the other party can't climb trees.

As we all know, climbing trees is a key skill of felines.

Therefore, the only solution is—

"That's it!"

Charlotte ran towards the slow-moving giant toad not far from the plain, shouting loudly regardless of whether the monster could understand her:

"Open your mouth and let me in!!"
