Finish your dinner, log into the game, and take Lily, Aeon, Love Fire, Nowa, and Wafox to the village of Ketsey.

"Ah, the matatabi guy! I've been waiting for you!

D'Artagnan is coming. I'm from Matatabi... and the village is totally festive mood.

"Did you bring me the matatabi?

"I brought it."

"Thanks! Then I'm putting firewood in the middle of town, so I want you to put some matatabi in it! I'll show you around!

Firewood was arranged there in the well girder type when I headed out on the guidance of Daltanyan. It's a good way to combine what you see in a campfire. You know that.

I put in the matatabi and D'Artagnan takes the head.

"We're hosting the Matatabi Festival! Guys, please!

"Nah!"

Ketsey and the others lit the sows together, and the festival began.

That's supposed to happen... the Ketsies are rolling around the ground right now.

"Happy..."

D'Artagnan is also falling off. Apparently, the Matatabi Festival is like a festival where the Ketsies feel happy with the smell of matatabi. We don't have any advantage. Rather, the love fire and the Japanese fox are damaged by the smell of matatabi.

Now, there's got to be nothing like this… strong wind blows and tons of firepowder blows up when I think so. I worried about the fire for a moment, but the firepowder becomes a line and gathers in the sky.

"Beautiful..."

The more Lily and the others said that, the more fantastic the sight was. And the lines I gathered drew a presence I knew well. He is a famous god beast in ancient Egypt and elsewhere.

A man with a face and a lion's body, a god beast, who was the guardian of the pyramids, a royal tomb, and also a force to break enemies.

Sphinx its name.

Because of this, Sphinx looks a thousand different. I have heard that there are men and women, and there are also types with feathers.

The depicted Sphinx becomes what it is and comes down in front of us.

"I'm Sphinx. His name is Able Hall. Protect the great Pharaoh, he is a divine beast."

Apparently the model is Giza's Big Sphinx. But is it okay for a god beast to come here to protect you?

"Did you guys perform the ritual and call it in?

This was a ritual to summon Sphinx.

"You want to go into the desert for business, don't you?

"Yes."

"Then you will be tried."

If it's a trial in Sphinx, we have a famous story to tell.

"If you can answer five questions in a row to my audience, let me decide that you deserve to be in the desert."

I knew it. Info's coming.

"A special quest, The Trial of Sphinx, has occurred"

Special Quest 'The Trial of Sphinx': Difficulty E

Reward: Sphinx Medals

Get five questions straight to Sphinx.

That's less difficult. Well, just answer the riddle, so it might be low and natural.

"What do you want to do?

"I challenge you."

"Okay. The right to challenge is once per person. Those who do not understand correctly will be punished."

Is there a punitive game... but this is a mistake. I don't think Lily or Love Fire are very good at it. No, I might have a hidden talent.

"Tact, what are you talking about?

… Let's start with an explanation of the story.

"From whom do you challenge?

"Yes, yes! From Lily!"

"Okay. So that's the first question."

Well, what's coming?

"Lily took the 100G and went to buy the 50G stuff. I lost 80G along the way. What's missing from Lily?

"That's a simple problem."

"No, not really"

This is a famous story.

"Erm... erm... 50G!

Lily's answer solidifies us and Sphinx.

This is tough. Wrong from a normal answer. Sphinx will have a hard time telling the right answer, too.

"Za, unfortunately, that's incorrect. The correct answer is Lily's attention."

"Really!?

I honestly accept that Lily is dazzling... because there are so many different answers to this story. Normally there should have been money, luck, etc.

"Then it's punishment"

Thunder falls on Lily.

"Career!"

"Lily!?

When we rushed over, there was Lily, who became a cat's tail.

"Is that it? Nothing?

It is cat language to the end of the story. Wait, this is what happens to me, too?

"Lily, the end of the phrase is getting weird!?

"Huh? At the end of the story? Aeon."

"Who is Ion Nha!

Lily's guy, you don't seem to notice at all. But I don't think it's a very bad punishment game. Then Sphinx says.

"Aren't you forgetting what's going on in this village right now?

When Sphinx says so, Lily falls down and rolls out.

"Haha! Nice smell! Happiness."

The effect of Matatabi!

"Shall we continue?"

Don't limit this to just finishing before the damage spreads. Ion stops when I try to go.

"No! Mr. Tact is a summoner, so leave it to me here!

"You'd better stop it, huh? Ion. You don't want to be like Lily, do you?

"Yes, I'm fine! Because I know what it is!

I think you should stop it though. This would be the worst compatible type for a type like Ion. But unexpectedly the stubborn ion challenged and answered brilliantly and honestly.

So, what happened?

"Tact nya. I want you to touch my tail."

I've got my butt on, and I've been nagging you. If Ion finds out later, it's going to explode.

"Aeon sister... bold!?

"We can't do this."

But Love Fire challenged Lily and Aeon to go without challenging herself, which is incorrect, naturally.

Then Love Fire hugged me and turned my face away.

"Nyah. Takt Nyah, yummy Nyah. Pelopelo."

Speaking of which, don't get a cat or anything. But love fire, I want you to remember what you said earlier.

Love fire challenged me, so my sister, Wafu, also challenged me... not to mention the results.

The Japanese fox that became the cat pushes me down, and the Japanese fox rounds up with my chest.

"Tact nymph, warm nymph... gobble"

My chest is not an electric carpet. And my sister's character's collapsing, isn't it?

Nowa at the end. I try not to like it, I just give up and become a cat. What a noir.

The cat came before me.

"... Nah."

That's all I said, it went round in a remote place. I thought the most resembling cat in me was Nowa.

"You're the last one."

"Yes."

"So, first question: we have 200 grams of 300G of meat, how much would that be for a kilogram?

"No, sir."

It's not Ikura. It's a common sight.

"Correct. Okay, second question. Where do you always wear shoes?

"Foot"

I would almost answer the front door or something, but it would usually be my leg.

"Correct. So, question three. How do I write a red house and a blue house with ink brushes?

"You can write in red houses, blue houses and letters"

The ink in this world may be colorful, but my answer should also be correct.

"Correct. So, question four. Tulips, roses, cherry blossoms. What's the thorn in the flower in this?

"None"

None of the flowers have thorns.

"Correct. You'll do it... then it's the final problem. There are blue, yellow and red houses. What's between blue and yellow?

"and"

Between blue and yellow are the hiraganas. I knew every one of these hands.

"Brilliant. You deserve to move on. Let me give you this."

Info comes.

"You have completed Special Quest: The Trial of Sphinx"

I get a medal from Sphinx with Sphinx on it. I'll try to appraise it.

Sphinx Medals: Important Items

Possession allows you to enter the Sandwall Desert.

Sphinx gets thinner while I'm appraising.

"If you have that, you can put it in the Sandwall Desert. But be careful. The Sandwall Desert is a land where God sleeps."

Again, don't feel like Egypt is a model.

"If you continue your adventures, you will meet again… until then."

Sphinx became transparent and disappeared. Wait, what about Lily and the others?!?

When I saw it, it was back to normal. But things are weird. I'm kidding.

"Oh, that?

"Are you all right?

"It's okay... but..."

"Is something wrong? Mr. Tact?"

Don't you remember this... well... don't you remember that one... I tell Aeon.

"Nanimona kattayo"

"Why are you saying one word! Something absolutely happened, right?!?

"Ion... I'm sure there's something better I don't know"

"Hey, what did you do? I'm... I'm so scared!

I'm pursued by Aeon, but to put it from my mouth, it was difficult.
