Xuanwu Battle and Castle Screens

The day after Hayato found out about Maris and Surya, everyone at the Mansion was getting ready for battle.

Today, I was supposed to fight Xuanwu.

The place you're in is Ryugu. It's a mechanism that allows you to travel from the east harbor to the deserted island and transfer from there. By dedicating more than 1m of fish to the altar in Liugu, Genbu appears.

There were various gimmicks in Genbu as well as the Vermilion Peacock, but I had a fight with them last time, so I knew about them.

Hayato was relieved that he would be able to defeat them without any particular problems this time, but there were other things he cared about.

It's about Maris and Surya.

Not that there are any particular problems, but the two people who are still talking normally belonged to an organization whose sleds do not fit with reality. Hayato doesn't know why it turned out to be antagonistic even though it was for the same purpose.

I wanted to look into it in real life, but I didn't have that kind of information.

I had a lot of fun, but I started checking things I was taking with me to prepare for the battle against Xuanwu.

After a while, Maris approached me.

Hayato-san is still very prepared.

"The battle is completely useless, so we have to keep it that way." Is Maris all right? "

“Yes, I did it yesterday!”

Maris said that, and Doya looked.

Shortly thereafter, Sieg on the shoulder said "ya" and then gently patted Maris on the head with his right forefoot. I don't know what to say, but it's like saying, "Stay on track."

(Looking at it like this, I have the impression that it is a little stupid. But in reality, he seemed to be an excellent veterinarian and a researcher. I wonder if it was an animal study, but what was I doing?)

Marius feels like he can't imagine reality without knowing it, but it's strange that he looks smart when he does.

Surya looks like a clown, but she's a veterinarian and researcher, just like Maris. I don't know what kind of clown clothes he's wearing, but Hayato thinks it might be a real-life effect.

And now I stared at Maris.

They have white tuck tops with bright brown trousers, brown scarves around the neck, big gloves and boots, black knee socks, and white arm guards up to two arms. I'd say he's quite active.

It may have been right after we heard yesterday, but it seemed like Hayato was dressed like he was looking for wild animals he'd seen in the old video.

"Huh? Is something wrong?" I don't think there's any way to keep me awake...? "

"Oh, no, that's not true. Um, is Zeke still in the answering machine today?"

Yeah, I hear you and Max are going to be out in the sun.

Max is the pet of Maris, a monster named Cucumber, whose motif is the Nine-tailed Fox.

"It certainly feels good on the edge." The weather is nice, so I think it's the best sunny day of the year. "

I see! I'd like to join you, but this afternoon I'm looking for Surya and the Yokai.

I haven't helped you at all, but are you doing well?

"I gathered information from the people of the town with Surya yesterday afternoon, but I've been looking into some places where I might be out." I also decided where to go this afternoon. I feel like I can tame you as much as you can! "

Kama Itachi is an Itachi with a sickle attached to it. There are various shapes depending on the creation, but there is no doubt that it is itchy. I was a monster in the animal frame, so I was likely to be able to tame it.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"It's okay." Mr. Hayato cooks Siegfried's dinner every day, and he's very helpful. - Huh? Yeah, yeah... Sieg says it's a big deal too! "

Um, is it okay to say thank you for being happy?

When Hayato says that, they laugh.

Zeke was also glad because he was shaking his tail wide on Maris's shoulder.

After a smile, Marie stroked Zeke's head with a smile.

"It's good to go to various places in search of monsters like this." Maybe it's for me. "

Is it facing you?

"I just like it." Gathering information like this, I went to various places to find monsters - not monsters, but rare monsters, but I liked to go to the habitat and investigate various kinds of fieldwork. That's why I really like this event! "

“That's good. I'm counting on you, so I'll continue to do my best."

"Leave it to me! Even in the guild of the King's City, it's said to be an ace, so please rely on Don!"

That's what Maris said and deflected his chest. Soon after, Sieg hit me on the head with his tail.

While thinking that Hayato was a good combination, I proceeded with the final check.

As soon as they arrived in Liughu, Hayato and the others summoned Xuanwu.

I've never seen Hayato before, but he's a giant tortoise about 20 meters long. It's just that the tail is a snake.

While thinking that the tail part was a lot of snake monsters, Hayato observed Xuanwu's attack pattern and so on.

I was slow, but my Attack and Defense were high, and I had a lot of Health. Furthermore, it would fight under the unpleasant circumstance that the ground would shake just by moving. He also made Maris angry with his opening tame.

However, since this Xuanwu was an opponent I had fought with before, I had established my fighting style.

And I could say that if the opponent was one of them, we would have a very good fighting advantage.

"Dragon Curse is coming! Uuhihihi..."

Use Ren's Dragon Curse to halve any stats. Lowering the Str reduces the damage taken by Xuanju, who only makes physical attacks. Although the effective range was a little narrow, it was quite advantageous in a stand-alone boss fight.

Everyone began to attack Xuanwu's neck and legs as his curse exploded.

This is because when you do a certain amount of damage, your neck and legs are pulled back. Physical Attacks are completely ineffective when hid. When I got to that state, my HP would gradually recover, but the wholesaler wouldn't do that.

No matter how defensive they were, Lunaria's Arondite was able to ignore their defenses.

In addition, both the Excalibur Replica and the Arondite Replica can attack with inferior Attack but Ignore Defense, so Ney and Cecil are also active.

"The tortoise turns upside down."

Hmm! Let's help Lunaria!

"All aboard! Noato, support me!"

"I'll do my best to help you, so get this over with."

As good as the main attackers, the tension was as high as ever. Lunaria, Ney, and Cecil attacked flashily.

Noato is also uncommonly motivated. It seemed that I liked it quite a bit when I entered the open-air bath, and I wanted to soak it all the way through the morning. And I said that I was building a base in Hayato.

And since the Attribute Attacks worked naturally, the Rear Guard released the most firepower magic they could possibly use.

When dealing a certain amount of damage while under the armor, Xuanwu flipped over for some reason, so she could see the weakness in her belly. Everyone was attacked there.

After a while, Xuanwu jumped up and returned to her original state, but she had to watch out for the shock waves that were generated when she jumped and landed on the ground.

It was so powerful that even the heavy equipment could be defeated with a single blow, so everyone ran away to scatter the spider child as soon as they jumped up.

Now I'm going back to the beginning, but I'm going to repeat the rest. It wasn't that hard to take on an enemy if you watched the opponent's preliminary movements.

Xuanwu's HP was slowly shredded, and the end was Esha's Destroy. It took a long time, but I defeated Xuanwu especially dangerously.

While everyone was happy, Ditte just looked a little disappointed.

What's wrong?

"I thought it was a little too weak." I was just thinking maybe I should raise the difficulty a little bit. "

"Yeah? It certainly seemed fun, but I think that's because everyone is strong." I don't think ordinary players can fight like this? "

"However, ordinary players will gather more people." That's a bit of a thought. "

I think the Hayato will get better.

There were about thirty of them. There were more than a thousand members, but if ordinary players fought, they would gather more than fifty. The tactics may be different, but they may be similar in strength.

Hayato and the others were specializing in boss battles. Dragon Cars, Destroy, and even Lunaria's Black Swan are strong enough to do more than a dozen things on their own. I don't think it will be very helpful.

"Hmm, what should I do..."

Diete laughed as she showed Hayato how troubled she was.

"Hayato-kun isn't bothered." Yesterday, too, but this is what I think. Sometimes I want an opinion, but I want Hayato to enjoy this world first. Look, I've got some drop items, so let's have a debriefing together. "

"That's true, too." If you need anything, I'll give you my opinion, so you can ask me anytime. ”

"I'm counting on you... oh, it looks like you're exhilarated."

It wasn't like that when I was a vermilion bird, but I wonder if something good came out of it this time.

When Hayato said that, he rendezvoused with everyone who was exuberant with Diete.

The three of them walked toward the castle in the moonlit city of Hayato, Benitzur, and Simon.

It was so late before eleven o'clock in the afternoon, I wanted to show you the screen that was in the castle. Hayato's reality is so convenient that this is the time.

However, Benituru and Shimon were guiding Hayato without making any annoying faces.

The two of them originally lived in the castle, so they were on their way home, but at least they took the form of escorts.

It's funny that the princess of the country and her entourage escort them, but there was a story that Hayato was being targeted, so it was just in case. There is no problem because there is a transfer ring on the way home.

Hayato thinks as he walks.

According to Daté, Hayato said he knew what to do if he looked at the screen, but he couldn't get the point.

He didn't tell me what was on the screen in the first place. Of course, I didn't want to ask the details because the spoiler was not good, but I was only a little worried whether it was something I could tell by just looking at it.

Benny, is there only one screen?

"There are a few, but I think there are three ships that are famous or important." Two songs and one quartet. That's what I prepared. I usually don't use it, but I worked hard for Hayachi! "

There are three of them, right? Two songs, two folding screens, two pairs? I felt like one of the four songs had a four-fold screen outside... Oops, I have to thank you before that.)

"Thank you. Thank you."

"Ahahah, it's nothing like this because of Hayachi." Hey, Simon. "

"Hmm. This is not enough considering what Hayato did for me." So don't worry, take a good look. "

"Um, thank you again. By the way, what is the screen depicting?"

"It's a white tiger for one of the four songs." The unity of the Four Holy Beasts. I don't know where he and Qinglong are. Do you know Hayachi? "

"No, I don't know. But if you look at it, you may know something."

"Then I would love to have you take a look!" If you find out, I'll reward you! "

"By the way, what about the other one?" It's a pair of screens, isn't it? "

"There are the wind gods and the thunder gods." It's rumored that this is somewhere too, but I've never seen it before. "

(Wind gods and thunder gods? If I were here, I would like to defeat them all, but I think it's the White Tiger's tip. Diete said I could tell by looking at it, but did you write anything?)

Benitur clapped his hands as Hayato poured out his thoughts.

"That's right, will you come to my room after you see it? Even if it's tea - Abunah! Hey, Simon! Why are you trying to kill me? Let's think about the time and the time even from the bottom to the top!"

Simon pulled out his sword and swung it down toward Benitzur. If Benitzur hadn't been killed, he would have been hit.

I don't feel angry, but I have a dazed face.

"Not on the lower floor." The princess of the kingdom tried to slash a man from a dreadful act such as calling him to his room. Even if the opponent is Hayato, you should observe moderation. "

"I didn't think I'd be slaughtered just because of the trouble... ah, then go to Simon's room?" If it wasn't for my room-- hi! Oh, I really slashed it! "

Simon flashed his sword in front of Hayato. I have no hesitation.

"Because of peace of mind, it's not a peak."

"Your HP is dwindling!" No matter what I see, I slashed it with the blade! In the first place, what are you shooting at that I can't shoot?! "

"I'm telling you a joke." A serious act of being a woman, such as inviting a man to a room at such a time. You shouldn't joke about it, it's a reflection. ”

"Simon is old-fashioned, right? Until recently, I was walking with my upper body just a seal... yes, I'm sorry." I won't say that anymore. That's why I put the sword in the sheath. I think it's a bad thing to rebel and go upstairs. "

Simon looked at Benizuru with his gaze, but slowly the sword was scabbarded, and he looked toward Hayato and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, the princess seems to be floating with the Hayatoes." I don't usually say this. "

"No, no, don't apologize. I know it's been a long time since I've seen my friends. Besides, it's my selfishness to say that I want to see it at this time, so don't be too angry with him."

"Hayato is sweet." Well, that's not Hayato. Now that we're at the castle, let's head to the room with the screens. Here, princess. Hayato is a guest, so you should treat her politely. "

"That's right, but I'm a princess, so I'd like you to treat me with a little more courtesy -- yes, I'll do my best." So don't put your hands on the sword. The next time you're slaughtered, you'll come back to life in the room. "

Would you like some potions?

"Hayachi is gentle, right?" Yeah, I'll drink it. "

Hayato moves to a room with a screen while having such an inhospitable conversation.

Screens were placed in the large hall on the second floor.

Both are about two meters high. The Wind God and Thunder God each had a width of one meter, and the White Tiger's screen was just over two meters long.

Hayato, who has never seen a screen in reality, knows it as knowledge. The two-piece screens depicting the wind god and thunder god were also in reality, and I had heard that they were now stored in the colony "Museum".

It was probably a mimicry, but it seemed to overwhelm the viewer with a lot of force.

And the other is a picture of a white tiger.

The figure of a white tiger looking toward the bamboo forest. Hayato looked at the screen in every corner, wondering if it was a cold air attribute monster because it was white enough to recall the snow.

However, nothing particularly suggestive has been drawn.

(That's funny, Ditte said she could tell when she saw this, but she didn't know anything. Could it be the wind god or the thunder god...?)

Hayachi, what do you think? Have you got anything?

"No, that's nothing. It's just a picture of a white tiger on the screen. It's as powerful as being alive, but--"

That's what Hayato realizes.

Ah, that's right.

"What? What? What did you find out?!"

She didn't speak up, but Simon seemed to be interested, staring at Hayato with interesting eyes alongside Benitzur.

"Maybe, but this is a real white tiger." There is a famous Tonchi story, and the tiger on the screen walks around late at night, so I want you to catch it. "

"... hayachi, it's hard to say, but this is a painting..."

"Don't look at me unfortunately." That's why I'm talking about it. When I'm told such a difficult task, please let me out of the screen so I can catch it. It means that there is something interesting about it. "

"Oh, that's right. But isn't this white tiger coming out of the screen?"

"Huh? That's true." Can't Benny get out of the screen? "

If you can do that, I'll teach you from the beginning

"Is that so..."

When Hayato thought that this idea was different, Simon opened his mouth in a little panic.

"Did you say that the tiger walks around night after night?" This was prepared today and usually folded and stored in the storeroom..... "

"What? I did say that, but..."

Shortly after, I heard a roar from the screen where the white tiger was drawn.

When the three of them looked at the screen, the white tiger, which was supposed to be only a picture, began to move. The next moment, the white tiger came out of the screen.

"Princess! Hayato! As expected, those in the castle alone are unlikely to win!" Once you run away! "

That night, the white tigers and people running around the castle made a lot of noise.
