Feng, who stayed in the guild for two consecutive days, left the garrison with Leonardo in the early morning before sunrise. To witness the hunting confrontation between Feng and the bees, he was a human being, but a hero of the past wars, so he asked for a witness.

As Leonardo yawned, he was walking in front of the phoenix with a stick that he was always holding, squeaking on the ground. Vulnerable to the old man in the morning, he is usually still on the bed.

Feng looked at his back and asked what he had noticed in the past few days so that such an old man would not fall asleep walking.

"Hmm... I didn't realize there was such clarity in that status..."

"Though there are limits, I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been directly involved in increasing or decreasing my stats. Human beings are gentle even when their status rises, and the numbers don't change in the first place. Looking at the rising status, it seems that STR, VIT, otherwise DEX, AGI, and other INTs tend to rise."

"I see... in the future, not only will you improve your status, but you will also have to be aware of your ability to train. Even if STR rises, the muscle strength is weak and there are no ex-child."

"It was a dream to actively retreat after raising the STR and raise DEX and AGI. Maybe if the STR goes down, the other one goes up is the biggest problem, as my grandfather said. As you get older, the height of STR can lead to strain on your body. That's why the STR goes down and the status goes up instead. That way the bonus won't change."

"Bonus... no. Ladies and gentlemen, the feeling of the future is not unique."

The old man shrugged his shoulders as he sighed. Jeanne is quite receptive to this story, but as Guillaume struggled yesterday, people who don't know computer games don't understand it in the first place.

There is also a problem with Feng's experience.

"Hmm... if a child of the Beast did it and wandered the boundary of life and death, the level would have risen again... and for the second time, perhaps your experience would have been higher if you failed, unlike any other normal person."

I knew that would happen.

The old man nodded slowly and loudly,

"Besides, it's more pleasant. Normally, you don't get much experience from successful experiences. Do people succeed because they have experience in the first place?

For example, he paints pictures, but since the pictures he paints are not bad, he will try and make mistakes in trying to do this next time. The trial and error becomes an experience and one day we reach success.

However, the reality is that if you don't succeed, such as defeating monsters, you won't get any experience, so I guess you'll end up falling. That's what they call the Crusade Bonus, not the Experience.

And just because I got the Crusade Bonus, I don't know why the level goes up... "

"Well, it's kind of RPG around here, and it's easy for me to understand."

"Again, you're playing a computer game... hmm." I've known you, and my impression of Emilia has changed a lot. "

Leonardo has the look of licking something salty. Well, I don't even know how that feels. Emilia... that's quite a nerd. It's a nerd that hurts enough to role-play "Sofia of the Burning Eyes". Old people who don't know modern Japan will not understand.

"Anyway, it's now certain that you weren't influenced by Emilia. Unlike the priests who are Emilia's family, the Lord lives by a very different set of rules. They're different than humans, apparently. It's the effect of the wound that heals quickly."

"I know I grow up to fail, but what about shared experience? This never seems to have gone up because it failed. Especially this time, I don't have any experience."

"Well... let's think about one thing, how it was when we had that shared experience before."

Feng grinds his temples with his index fingers.

"Er... the first time I was burned at a training ground with a Kazuya fireball. When I woke up, I came in on my own. It was time to get out of the city next. I don't think I failed something at this time. Rather, I admired myself for doing well....."

"Hmm... I don't know what this is all about. Too few samples. But isn't it just the shared experience of the party that comes when a lot of people have accomplished something? I don't know about the first one, but the second one, as you said, was because the Imperial Army was successfully defeated."

"That's right... from now on, it would be good to try to act with the party members as much as possible. If I was doing something, I might get some experience."

That was when Feng replied. A short walk away, Leonardo suddenly stuck his wand to the ground and stopped. He put his hands on the head of his staff, taking a rest position, and shouted to the shade of the jungle beside the road.

"Who isn't there? Can I help you?"

Is there anyone there? Feng looked beyond the old man's gaze. Then there was the sound of stirring up the weeds from the jungle, and a beast appeared. He has rabbit-like ears on his head and, unlike other beasts, his face is closer to man. It was a mani that stood out for being a single rabbit in a werewolf colony.

In such an early morning, there will be nothing to do in the jungle outside this village. Obviously they must have been waiting for the Phoenix to arrive. Whatever it was for, waiting for him to come out, Mani came to Phoenix with a rough gaze.

"Um... um... are you going to the village?"

Feng and Leonardo looked at each other.

Well, there's only you and this village ahead.

"... why didn't you tell me the truth?

"Really....?

When Feng leaned his neck as if he didn't know why, the mani seemed a little irritated.

"Oniisan didn't surprise the bees, did he? At that time, to tell the truth, I shouldn't have had to fight the bees... why didn't you?

It was still a little difficult to understand, but what the duel was saying probably meant when Feng went to stop Jeanne.

Gargantuar refused Jeanne's request at the time because the bees said Feng had come forward. However, Feng was only trying to stop the mani from being bullied, so to tell the truth, he would have said that the place would have fallen round.

Feng felt angry when he heard the words. If only Mani had said that at that time. Why are you telling Feng now?

"No, I think I'm just telling the truth. It is true that I did it first. I threw him away."

"That's because you tried to help me...."

"But you didn't say."

Feng said to block the mani's words.

"You didn't tell me on that spot that I tried to help you. And yet, even if I came later and actually tried to help you, what was the point? He's denying it."

"That's...."

"Don't worry about a duel with the bees. Sooner or later, I think I bumped into him."

Feng sighed loudly and passed by the leaning mani without a word to return, as if it was no longer a waste of time. He made the difference,

"If you feel guilty, don't sneak up on me and tell Gargantuar. The truth is only in you. You're the only one who can tell the truth."

Mani listened to Feng's words as he shook. If that face could say it was me, it seemed like it was saying it was me. As Leonardo catches up with Feng,

"It's tough. He's still a child."

"Even so, I almost died from it.

I can't say anything back if you say so. The old man shrugged his shoulders as if he had told him to.

"Besides, I've been gentle, and I'm going to be gone someday. Unless he wants to change the reality that he's being bullied, nothing will change."

"Maybe... I'm being bullied because I can't do it. For some reason, he's the only rabbit in this settlement, and even if he doesn't...? Speaking of which, why does she have one different species in this settlement?

"Come on... I was wondering, but I don't really understand."

Looking back, the mani is standing in the same place as before. When they tilted their necks, they stopped talking and hurried to the village square.

In spite of the early morning, the village square was already home to almost all of the settlements. In the depths of the great forest, where there is nothing to enjoy, even the duel of others can be a festive entertainment. When Feng appeared, a curious paralysis arose from the hedge.

In the middle, the chief Gargantuar and the elder man were waiting, and there was a bee next to him, and he looked at Feng and looked at him with hostility. Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Feng passed on the bee threat with a cool face and walked out in front of Gargantuar with Leonardo.

The Elder suggests a chair to Leonardo and sits next to a lousy line of lyrics. When Gargantuar saw it, he grabbed the hands of Feng and the bees, lined up beside him, and pulled them up as he declared to the villagers.

"From now on, we will have a duel between my child, the bee, and the human spider."

Oops! Cheers from the villagers gathered in the square. They just say they can't wait, so they slap their hands and feet and rush the facilitator's gargantuar.

Gargantuar called the bees my children, not because of kinship, but because all the inhabitants of this village are family. I'm sure they all live with one family in mind. Hearing their voices in the evidence, there is no support for the bees, nor for the feng. It's totally awesome.

Gargantuar's headed for such a “family”. Quiet, quiet! After screaming and waiting for them to calm down, I slowly started talking about how to play this game.

"The duel is a hunt. Between now and sunset tomorrow. The way is free. Both bees and spiders can use guns. You can use a trap. However, you can't take or take prey from others. Always catch them with your own hands.

Any kind of prey is fine. Fish, bird, boar or beard. It's better to catch a bigger prey than the opponent. Even if it's a rabbit or a deer, it's bigger than the bear they've caught.

Are you two okay on these terms?

And the king of beasts checked with the two, and with the multitude of the villagers that had gathered, and continued.

"Then, in the name of King Gargantuar the Beast, the winner shall have the right to let the loser hear. Declare here what you will do to them both."

Then the bees stepped forward, and shouted loudly as they opened their eyes against Feng.

"If I win, no one leaves! Leave me alone!!

The gallery cheers Yanya Yanya. The bees were sniffing at the sound of the voice. Apparently, my self-esteem is filled by getting my attention.

The opposite Feng was unexpectedly gloomy. Fuck, once I was dying, this was the end of the story, and finally the duel. Of course, I thought you'd be asked to die, fuck you, don't breathe, don't throw up, but it's hard to applaud.

"... what's the matter, boy? It's your turn."

Feng was stiffened by a shoulder watermark, and Gargantuar shouted with a suspicious expression. When he regains his haha and self,

"Uh... I don't have any particular demands. We can't lose anyway, so let's get started."

And the villagers who heard it received it as provocation.

"What the hell! Don't make a fool of us! - You're running from a match!

I began to hit Feng with angry words in my thoughts. Of course, he didn't mean to do that, but apparently the bees and their families were fooled, so they thought they were fooled.

The booing to Feng made the square noisy, and the loud volume made my ears go crazy. Both Leonardo and the elders frowned annoying with their ears shut. Gargantuar approached and shouted at Feng's ear.

"Make up your mind! Don't irritate the villagers!

"Ah, yes, yes! I see... damn it."

Feng scratched his back head and twisted his head to see if there was any good demand. The first thing I came up with was to get out of the village as well, but in fact, I don't think the bees can live alone in this forest. I have trouble waking up when that happens. Having said that, I don't think of any other requests that I said specifically about this. When I told you to be a brother-in-law, it would only be troublesome to be followed by such a tantrum, and I can't grow up to apologize for being hungry or dying.

After all, Feng, who was in trouble, looked at the villagers like dogs barking and barking, and remembered,

Well then, if I win, I'll ask the bees to be angry and apologize like losers.

If that's all I wanted, Feng was going to ask generously....

However, as soon as he spoke the words, the villagers who had been barking loudly until then suddenly calmed down... I wondered if my face had become flushed as I saw it, and I stared at the phoenix with hostile eyes more than ever.

The next moment, the fury roared, and the noise surrounded the square like no other. Feng's insincere demands were apparently such a terrible act.

Did you think this atmosphere was bad for the boulders? Leonardo rushed to Feng in a hurry.

"This, Feng. Don't irritate them any more. We can still change it now, so withdraw it immediately."

"Ah, ahh, let's do that...."

That's what Feng said when he rushed to correct Gargantuar.

"Everybody calm down! Calm down! I'll take this request!

In front of the excited villagers, the bees jumped out refreshed and declared themselves as if they had become chiefs.

"I can't lose! So no matter what you ask! Don't worry, everybody!

I'm sure you're getting upset because you've been supporting me for a while now. When the angry villagers lowered their sips to the bees, they applauded their generous and brave deeds.

I hear cheers from all over the village honoring the bees. Villagers screaming, "Don't lose." Feng seems to have completely turned them into enemies.

Gargantuar shouts out loudly at the villagers in such a completely awesome situation.

Well then! The duel will be held under these conditions! We'll keep an eye out for both of you so there's no fraud! Bees, spiders! Nominate your guards!

Apparently, they will let the duel principals choose a fair visitor. Then Feng thought, "Who should I be?"

"I want Gargantuar watching! If you're a chief, you'll never miss a fraud!

When the bees raise their voices, all the villagers who support him agree! and followed it. There is no other chief in this settlement who can be most trusted.

Gargantuar did not think he would be chosen before the chief's job, but he was finally pushed by the villagers' voices to accept. Then he turned back to Feng as if he had been pressed into trouble.

"What are you gonna do, spider?

It's easy to ask Jeanne, but if we let him go alone, he'd be pissed off. Is it easy to ask Guillaume to lower his head here... when Feng thought about it and tried to nominate him?

Behind the crowd in the square, I could see my ears moving. It seems that the mani who came late was wandering around without getting in. Feng looked at his moving white and big ears and somehow remembered.

Mani is good. I'll nominate a mani to watch the bees. "

The moment Feng proclaimed so, a tremor occurred in the crowd. I didn't think Feng would pick a mani as one of them. All of a sudden, I get noticed, and the manicure that just arrived is neat.

As Feng, by giving a job to a guilty manipulator, it would be a good idea to get rid of that feeling... I meant that much, but Gargantuar answered confused.

"Mani? But Mani is still a child. It is dangerous for a child to enter the forest alone. Someone else should grow up."

But Feng shook his head,

"That's why it's fine. You two kids can't help it, can you? If you put other adults on, you might feel sorry for the bees who can't hunt their prey and hunt their prey instead."

The words raised anger from the villagers. We do not imitate such cowardice. Insult. Correct. Feng ignored the exciting voices of the villagers.

"Besides, if we don't get the prey, this fight won't be over in the first place. The bees are adults now. If you're still worried, please stop."

Gargantuar squeaky silently with a grunting expression. On behalf of such a chief, the villagers raise the Spleechkor to let the two of them go. I can't help it. Gargantuar was still anxious, but after all, the enthusiasm of the villagers forced me to accept it.

"Now, let's have a duel under these conditions! Both of you bet your honor and pride here, and swear to fight fairly."

"I swear." "I swear!

Feng and the bees nodded in response to Gargantuar's declaration. The villagers cheered at the two. The number of supporters for both of us is roughly 9 to 1... no, is it 99 to 1? It goes without saying which is more.

Behind the excited villagers, the mani who was still unable to swallow well looked at us with a suspicious expression. Feng raised his shoulders to pass his gaze.

Thus opened the scene of a two-day duel. Feng or Bee, which wins? The voices of irresponsible betting always resonated in the square.
