Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu
Defense specialization and the third day of the event.
The two slept alternately on a tree and came down from the tree as the sun began to rise.
It's quite deep in the forest, so it looks like it's hard to find the next search.
"Maple. Which way do you want to go?"
"So ... let's go straight and cut through the forest!"
"OK! Let's go!"
They rush through the forest in the opposite direction of the ruins.
After thirty minutes, Sally secretly talks to Maple in a small voice.
"Maple. There is a player behind us in the right bush."
Sally uses a sound generated from bushes and a metal sound generated by armor to detect where monsters and players are.
The two continue their conversation in a whisper while walking so as not to be suspicious.
"Maybe it's not that strong ... I'm aiming for our chance"
"Let's try to capture it anyway?"
"Is it possible?"
"Yup"
When I reply briefly, she pulls out the new moon by only a few centimeters.
"[Paralize Shout]"
The clear sword sounds echo in the quiet forest.
A moaning voice can be heard from the bushes behind.
"How?"
"Perfect.
Together they approach the bushes in question.
There, two players collapsed with strong paralysis.
"Be ready to return and come back someday!"
Sally's attack simply sinks the two players.
There is no medal.
"I don't think it's reckless to aim at Maple, but I'll never."
This is the fourth encounter with the player since the event began.
Two of them were in combat, but there was no particular problem because he was a trivial opponent. The only enemy of Chrome, who would have been the strongest enemy, never fought, so he never struggled against the players.
"The next five days, including today ... you might meet a strong player somewhere."
If you encounter four times in about two days, you will encounter them ten times with simple calculations.
One of them may be the top player in the previous event.
If you're not tight, you can be attacked anytime.
so. They too have the same abilities as they do.
Another hour to go through the forest.
When the sun began to deliver light through the gaps in the trees.
Finally, the scenery outside the forest was visible.
"Oh……"
"Sugo ..."
It was a valley that spread before them.
They are on the highest cliff.
The vegetation grows thick and the voice of a bird can be heard.
The valley floor is covered with deep fog, and the whole picture cannot be grasped.
If you're exploring here, you'll have to get down somehow first.
"Is anyone searching here?"
"I don't know ... I guess there's a place of this size that I forgot to explore?"
As Maple says, the valley was quite large.
There is definitely more than a hundred meters from where you are now to the bottom.
In addition, the width is wide.
Here too, it looks lighter than a hundred meters.
"Yes, then, let's get off somehow."
Sally looks at the cliff in front of him for a while and looks for a place that will become a foothold, and descends little by little.
"Hmm ... there's no scaffolding on which the maple can ride ..."
The reach of [Cover Move] is limited. Maple couldn't go down the cliff on his own, so Sally was looking for a larger ledge nearby, but it seemed unlikely.
"Hmm ... for now, if there's a place where you can land, signal me! If you don't, you can go down to the bottom!"
Looking at the blue panel, Maple is checking the time.
"Huh? I see!"
Sally descends, but there is no scaffold for Maple.
Sally has been off the cliff for nearly two hours.
"I got down to the bottom ... send a message to Maple again ..."
While he was descending, Sally sometimes taught Maple where he was.
This time, I sent a message to report that I was down.
Less than a minute after Sally sends a message, Maple returns a message.
[Slightly away! ]
"Well, what would you do ..."
Sally consented and replied, and decided to go a little further away and watch Maple over the tree.
"Wow ... whatever ..."
What Sally finds on the cliff is a purple ball, perhaps ten meters in diameter.
It's Sally's watch.
He slowly rolled forward and fell off the cliff.
You can see a part of the cliff where it hits, but it changes into a terrible melted figure, and it gradually falls down while reducing its size.
And when it reached the ground, the impact of the fall caused it to pop a part of it, splattering a purple greasy liquid around it.
"Me, my eyes turn around ..."
Maple fluttered out of the center of the shattered sphere.
Sally gets off the tree and approaches Maple.
Even so, I will not touch the poisonous liquid, so keep it close to the next.
"And what is that?"
"That's ... [Venom Capsule] .... It's a skill that shuts out the subject with a poison capsule ...
It seems to be quite durable just to confine it.
Sally was able to understand that Maple's way of talking was not energetic, probably because he was looking around.
"If you don't have [poison ineffective], your HP will gradually decrease and you will be slowed down, so be careful when using Sally?"
"No, I don't use it"
The maple, which had gradually regained its energy, was finally able to walk decently, so they started walking toward the valley bottom.
The slope is still continuing, and there are large steps in some places. Such a step is very dangerous because the fog cannot be seen well due to the dense fog.
"I can't see anything at all ..."
"In this case ... there may be medals that I have missed. Keep an eye on the surprise and the steps. Maple."
"Yes! I understand."
However, it is unlikely that there is a step that cuts maple HP.
For that, you have to prepare a cliff in front of you.
Proceed carefully through the dense fog, which is not even a few meters away.
"Hmm? Sounds of water ...?"
"Well? ... I'm true! Is there a water hole nearby?"
They go towards the sound of water.
The bat-shaped monster that appeared on the way was clearly a small fish.
The enemy level around here doesn't seem to be very high.
"there were!"
In front of me was a small river.
It seems that the water was flowing down a slight step into the crystal-clear river, making a noise.
"Look over there!"
The point where Maple points. You can barely see the cracks in the rock surface and the cave.
When they approached each other as if they were dungeons, they approached them and found that it was just a big rift with no significant depth and no monster evidence.
"... Let's make a base here. It will take time to search the valley."
It's just a rift, but it's enough for Sally to make a base. At least it's much better than on a tree.
"Yeah, I agree! I also have to check the eggs."
"Oh, ok. You have to warm it.
The two decided to take a break from the cave base.
At the same time, he decided to check for eggs.
