Card collector from different worlds

Kim Noisuke turned to Wol's place.

I've just reflected on the earlier creeping, but then I couldn't tell from my previous experience what to do.

"That's why I'm here to talk to you"

"You... whoever doesn't sell or buy is not a customer."

"Well, yeah, but there's no one else I can talk to."

There used to be an ancient ginseng craftsman at every site.

It was quite varied, including the people who had walked down the back streets and the people who had fled from people and arrived here at the end.

I started this job as a teenager, like Kinosuke, and it was less that I had experienced nothing else.

Kim Noisuke talked to them if they had any troubles and asked for their opinions from the forerunners in his life.

"No, leave me alone," "Uziuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu," an opinion far from approximate advice, but the straightforward statement was sometimes shooting straight.

"I'm not a customer. If Mon was in the store, I'd be in the way. Pull in the back!

"Let me do that"

"You're not a guest, so make yourself a cup of tea!

"Yes."

Kinosuke went up to the high floor in the back and smelled the hot water that was gushing.

Ever since I came in the back, I've smelled quite a bit.

"Medicine meal, I guess."

Sometimes it smelled like drifting when I came here, so I soaked it in the water.

Amber liquid fills the water drink.

I took a sip of that.

"... ugh. I guess it tastes closer to tea than potion."

It tasted like fermenting multiple tea leaves.

"That's Magara tea. Old beasts like to drink when their noses don't work anymore."

"It smells good, right?"

"The fragrance seems too strong for the young. But when my nose gets stupid like a sea urchin, I prefer something that smells so strong."

With that said, Lady Ur drank her own water and sipped a bite of Magallah tea.

Kiyonosuke also takes another sip.

"... so what's bothering you?

After a breath, that's what Wol heard.

Kim Noisuke can't contain herself during the battle. I told him that when he fights his superior opponent, he really loses his reason.

"What should I do?"

Upon hearing the story to the end, the Wolf drank all the way down without the remaining Magallah tea.

"Atashi doesn't know about the fight. But when I hear about you... well, maybe you're scared, or you're patient, or you were like that from the beginning."

"Scared...?

"Animals, when pushed, fight back, no matter what the desperate situation. There's no reason there. Kill or be killed."

"... right"

"Contrary to that, feeding carnivorous animals is getting warmer and warmer."

"I understand."

The beasts I saw at the zoo were always as lenient as if I'd forgotten the wild.

"Hunting is a risk. Run as hard as you can and you might get hurt. It could get into the stronger guy's territory. You may be able to escape to prey even though you have used your health to its limits. Still, if you hunt, you starve, so hunt as hard as you can. But if you don't have to hunt to be properly fed, you don't have to go out of your way to hunt until you risk it. Then we stop hunting."

"Do you hunt to live... or not starve?

"Yes, but carnivorous animals can be hunted. No matter how much I miss it, I don't forget its instinct to no longer have to hunt. They just take care of those fangs."

The Wolf woman showed her fangs to Kim Noisuke.

"It..."

"Atashi doesn't have the power to hunt anymore, but he still has fangs. Maybe you do, too. Seems like he's like a grown-up animal now, but maybe what he really looks like is a carnivore."

If that's the case, Lady Ur said it's a hunting instinct, not a bad thing.

"I don't know..."

"Right. And then whatever the reason, when a strong enemy arrives, it's pretty for no reason, because there's a possibility of that kind of existence. If it was, it would be useless to think about it. I just have to be."

To the words of Lady Ur, Kim Noisuke asked himself.

I wonder what I am.

I know myself best. That should be it, but of course there was no answer.

Are you scared, or are you who you are?

"I'll think about it for a second....... I'm already going today. Thank you, Magala Tea."

"Now we're gonna get the material right."

"Yes."

Kim Noisuke wandered around town for a while after leaving Wol's shop before returning home.

Honestly, it was awkward to face the Gargs.

That night, they didn't come home until Kim Noisuke went to bed.

I'm sure he's swallowing it somewhere.

Speaking of which, Garg has just come to this town. Maybe he wants to stretch his feathers.

The next morning they were back.

"Yesterday, all of a sudden, I wasn't clean"

When apologizing for a long time, Kim Noisuke apologized in the way he had been taught.

Stretch your spine and keep your head down.

I apologize to my boss when Kim Noisuke and the others make mistakes, and my boss has seen me apologize to the landowners in the same way after all.

"I don't mind. Or don't worry about it. I got there young. We don't care if there's something slightly different."

"It's just... that's when I really tried to kill him"

"Mm-hmm. I thought I was gonna die too. I can build on that. It's been an experience."

Garg laughed.

Kim Noisuke bowed his head silently again.

"And the special training will continue today. I found someone to help me."

"Even today, okay... Huh?

"Yesterday's topographical alteration injured one of their associates. I'm currently in the hospital. So in the meantime, he was to help me with my special training."

Kinosuke had no idea about the topographical alteration.

Ask him, he said it happened yesterday from the eleventh layer of the deep, involving several sets of seekers.

"Isn't it important?"

"Right. Just being confirmed, at the time the alteration took place, four pairs were below eleven layers"

"What about those people?

"One group was informed of the alteration, and three of the six were injured by hospitalization. The other group returned safely after nightfall. The other two pairs... haven't come back yet as far as we've heard"

"So, shipwreck?

"When a topographical alteration occurs, naturally if the position of the stairs also changes, so does the distribution of the cardi. Maybe he's keeping his health warm for the ground, or maybe he's coming back around this morning."

"Do you want to go look for it?

"In that big labyrinth? You'll need hundreds."

Apparently there are considerably fewer parties per se that can dive after the eleventh layer.

Ten pairs as far as Elev knows, that not half of them will be able to dive steadily.

"But that's not a good time. Card bubbles are in the middle of something."

"Cardy can be altered in ten years, and terrain alterations in twenty years. If you say so, it was an accident that I assumed."

They don't have that kind of alteration on the ground, but on the contrary, the labyrinth will have a hierarchical area going on in the plane, and even if they go pinpointing high LV cardies, they have a lot of difficulty.

It is said that it is Zara who walks for two days before reaching the area, in a sense the labyrinth is privileged.

"That's why I thought the people I met yesterday in the infirmary were unlucky, but I didn't feel unreasonable."

"... you ask them to help you with your special training today."

"That's right. I'm sure they think of your lords as a substitute if they can't make it back."

"Do you know that?

"I knew about your Lord. Besides, he seems interested in Rookie sending me to the hospital."

Speaking of which, Kim Noisuke still remembered that Elev had been in this labyrinth for a long time.

"If you can help me with my special training, I'd appreciate it."

"All right, let's go and relax."

I could rent a wider training facility than yesterday.

Anything, next to Labyrinth Management seems to be a hospital, and they'll be there, so Elev picked them up.

"It's the two of us who can help. They both fight with swords in the main, but this time they ask us to use spears."

"Are you two-on-one, like yesterday?

"No, four on one."

"............ you want me to die?

"I want you to do your best to die."

The door opened and two men from the Elev and the people came.

Is there a place where there are two people and their age is in their mid-30s?

He is a sweet masked man and a slightly skinny man.

"Nice to meet you, Kim Noisuke. I'm Kernel, this guy's Torque."

Nice to meet you, Kim Noisuke.

"I think I heard, we failed our quest yesterday. Besides, below the eleventh level, we're going to start mapping the labyrinth today with the cartographers. Unless you know some map and cardi distribution, parties that don't bring a cartographer (mapper) won't get permission to explore."

"Really?"

"It's dangerous. So, which way are we off duty, so I thought I'd stick with your special training."

"You've taken it on a lot. Honestly, I feel strange."

"I don't know if it's whimsical... Sometimes I'm interested in you, and me and Torque have never interacted with anyone but members. I came here to gain that experience. So don't hesitate."

"Regards"

"Um, then Kinosuke. Lord try this weapon."

What Garg gave him was a weapon with a tonkachi-like mass at the end of a long pattern.

"It's a kind of sledgehammer, but I don't know. It's a giant hammer, but I've never used it."

It's shaped like a giant hammer (Kigandhammer), rather than a stone age hammer (Flinthammer).

"What are the benefits of using this?

"It's a training day that doesn't bring enemies. The Giant Hammer has a longer weapon range than we do. We should be able to attack unilaterally if we can get the right position. And we will mock it, and attack the LORD. Try to prevent it somehow."

"... I think it's getting harder."

"The more cardi fights you deal with multiple, the less high LV you get. But there are a lot of people who are going to attack in anticipation of that."

……

"If you look at Hachi, you'll see, the enemy is one thing, but you feel like there are a bunch of them when it comes to attacks, right? Some sprinkle poison, tangle with tentacles, and jump needles out of your mouth. The bigger the enemies, the more means they have to attack. Think it's common sense to attack from a blind spot."

"... you mean get used to being multi-on-one and responding to any attack?

"Exactly. In real life, I believe in experience and understanding. The fate of the avant-garde."

"... Roger, let's get started."

The four stand in a position surrounding Kiyonosuke.

"First off, let's not attack from blind spots. Use your skills as appropriate."

"Seriously?

"Absolutely. You can also use Kinosuke."

Special training has begun.

Kim Noisuke sets up a hammer with both hands and sees how the other person comes out.

Immediately Garg's reprimand flies.

"Just watch, you'll be right in time. When you're in your own time, don't hesitate to hit it!

Garg is just in time. Kinosuke tows it with a hammer.

"Don't attack me like that. If you're going to do it, you're going to take it down. Kill him every shot!

"Another unscrupulous thing."

The kernel and torque quickly interrupt where the hammer is shaken off.

We're just partying, and we're working together.

"Not yet."

Kim Noisuke returns the hammer. This hammer looks big, but if it weighs only, the smasher is heavier.

"Whoops!

They cut back in an instant, and the kernel jumps out big. Torque tried to trickle down, but because of the enormity of the hammer, he gives up and falls back as well.

"Let him go!

Use your arms supple and manipulate the hammer like a whip to chase.

Eleve, who was lying next to him, strikes Kim Noisuke with a spear. but Kinosuke takes it with his protective gear and hunts down the kernels even more.

"Hmm!"

The cornered kernel unleashes the intermediate swordsmanship, The Riot Slash. The tip of the spear avoided the hammer like a creature, not to say Kim no Suke's arm, not to say torso, but slashed and tore every place... it looked like.

"Ugh... this stings"

Once at a distance, Kiyonosuke hits his arm.

"Strengthen your body... I thought it was fuzzy."

"You're lying..."

The kernel and torque just seemed flashy.

Yesterday, Garg taunted me that I could use it fully because intermediate swordsmanship would not inflict fatal injuries.

I thought you had come to pick up a laugh, and Garg nodded half-heartedly, as he pushed his precautions with a serious face.

If you actually use it, you're right.

I was just amazed at Kinosuke's defense.

At the same time, the kernel aroused interest.

I was beginning to figure out how I could attack.

"Surely you'll want to do some special training. This is going to be a big deal when you learn to work with special attacks and allies."

"All right, do you want to go with the usual cardi fight"

Two new joiners were getting serious, and the special training was finally in full swing.
