Continue along the trail in the woods, trampling through the weeds.

The water source sensed by the Water Detection (Seekwater) spell should be somewhere a little off the side, straight ahead.

One line, Satsuki was about to regain her mind, Eileen was occasionally sniffing her own clothes and so on, and Mi glanced sharply at her surroundings and was seriously alert to her surroundings, even if Cyril was not ripe.

I, too, carefully walk through precarious scaffolding with tree roots sticking out, etc.

That's how the line went about walking for a while.

Mi accidentally sounded a sharp warning.

"It's a stop. … I smell something"

"Huh!? Well, I guess. I don't feel that much for myself."

Eileen rushes to smell herself, but Mi shakes her neck sideways.

"It's not. He says it smells dangerous.... I can't really tell you what's going on, but Mi says it's dangerous to go any further."

That's what Mi said, looking around more carefully.

I'll make sure she can follow me, too, and I'll run my gaze around.

But in my eyes, I didn't see anything unusual.

A view coloured with green and brown, not particularly replicable to the past.

If I insist, is it about the fact that there are slightly more twisted plants (...) wrapped around the surrounding trees?

There was no response to the alarm spell, and Mi's suspicion could come off once in a while.

─ No, wait.

Plants……?

It's just that...

If that's the case, it makes sense that my intuition doesn't get caught up in alerts that require me to feel threatened.

"... Mi, do you know a monster named Strangle Creeper?

To my inquiry, Mi, standing in front of me, reacts to every cat ear tingly, and then turns her gaze toward me.

"Are you a strangle creeper? It's your first ear. What is it?

Honest mi question.

I spit out the knowledge in my head to respond to it.

Strangle creepers are known as a type of plant-based monster, but it may not be very appropriate to call them monsters.

If you're going to say one thing or another, it's someone you're more likely to recognize as a kind of trap (trap).

Strangle creeper is a type of plant (...) that stretched out over a wide area.

It thrives on trying to wrap around the surrounding trees, which at first glance appear to be harmless ordinary plants.

However, a strangle creeper thriving on a vast area will not miss out on organisms that have entered its dominant area (territory).

When the prey steps into the realm, but at the end of the day, countless spreading (ripples) begin to move like creatures willing to each of them, sneaking up on their pathetic victims, they wind up in their bodies and strangle them.

Typically, the cause of death of a victim in the hands of a strangle creeper is asphyxiation by strangulation.

The victim, who was restrained with his arms and legs by means of a tweezer, continued to be strangled, usually in about thirty seconds, showing spasmodic symptoms with faecal drooling, and approximately a minute later, he was in a coma and his breathing stopped, and minutes to minutes later, he died.

The dominant area (territory) of the strangle creeper is subdued by the individual, but it is said that those of standard size extend to a range of about ten metres square.

If you step into that realm, you'll be strangled without a single human being.

So when I finished explaining it, Mi nodded loudly as if she had fallen to her heart, and then looked forward.

"... I see. Hearing that, Mi also found out who the discomfort was. The sound of the bird that was heard from there will not come from beyond. ─ ─ Besides, if you think so and look closely, there are animal carcasses hidden in the shadows of grass and trees. rabbits and deer, and is that a wolf?"

Even when I looked at the point Mi pointed out to say so, it only seemed like there was a mere grass in my eyes.

If you look closely, it doesn't even look like what she says is lying there, to such an extent, but I guess that's exactly what the observant bandit (sheaf) girl says.

When I thought so, suddenly the view in front of me seemed different, and I was a little freaked out.

And Mi shrugged her shoulders, and you added.

Besides, I do say.

Even if we know there are troublesome killers in front of us, if we bypass them without going down this road, we will have to make a very rugged and troublesome turnaround.

There is a problem with cutting and developing with Eileen or Satsuki's sword, but the nature of the opponent makes it almost impossible to truncate each and every bottle of the sword that strikes.

And Eileen and Satsuki are swordsmen of great skill, but not invincible.

If you step into the dominant area (territory) of the Strangle Creeper, you will remain anxious to see if you can perfectly slice through the vertical and horizontal sweeps that strike you from all directions, and if you keep standing around, it is not hard to imagine that you will eventually be crushed by fatigue.

If so...

"I guess this is the best place to do it"

I put up my wand on the spot, started chanting spells, and boosted the magic in my body.

And when he completed the fireball (fireball) spell, he projected the scorching energy sphere he had created in front of his eyes forward.

And when that magic mass landed on the ground in front of it so that it could be sucked in...

─ ─ DOGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The magic became red lotus flames, and I thought the strangle creeper was flourishing all around me, enveloping the area with flames.

Eventually, when the flames burned in a flash, a burning field was created with patches and firepowder exploding in a strip about ten metres radius ahead.

I was to bake it, other than the object for which it was intended, but I had to.

Meanwhile, when I see a collection of plants (...) that are turning into black charcoal and falling apart, Mi crumbles.

"Oh, it's still amazing...... With William, there's no such thing as a nasty person."

That's what Mi says and she looks up at me, so I put my hand on her head and squeeze that hair.

"I guess thanks to Mi noticing beforehand. Otherwise it would have been more important. It's my game."

"Oh, no...! Nyah, nah..."

So Mi was narrowing her eyes like a cat, dyeing her cheeks bright red to make her cat ears tingle.

The phase was unchanged and incredibly cute.

Meanwhile, the other three people who were watching how it went said,

"" "... nice" "

He turned his fingers around uniformly and envied him.

It was me who recognised once again that people were hungry for approval.
