Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu

I wonder what happened to the eight people who came to the nine layers. Because you can see two different towns in front of you.

One side is rich in nature, and there is an area where you can see objects made of water and ice floating against gravity everywhere, and behind it you can see a town based on white.

On the other side, the wasteland is spread out, with thunder in the sky and flames running through the earth. In the back, you can see a town based on black.

“Which way should I go?”

"Maybe there's no big difference in function... but the atmosphere will be different, so you should go if you like it."

"I still don't know anything." You won't be able to get out of any town as soon as you get in. I wonder if I can go and see both of them? "

There is no message from the game side about the choice. I don't think I should choose either town as my base.

"Well then... from this side of the forest!"

Maple points to an area where flowing water, abundant forests, and large ice bridges and stairs can be seen in between.

Yeah, I'll go with you then.

You might have to go both ways and collect all kinds of materials.

Certainly, it's not strange that there's a difference in the materials we can get.

Since the area is divided into two parts, and they are made to have a certain amount of space, there are many places to explore in nine layers.

Well then, let's start with this!

"Yui, it's dangerous to run too much."

Let's go, Maple.

Yeah! We need to get out of here for now!

The eight of them descend down the hill towards the forest.

There are streams running through the woods, and there is plenty of water coming out of them. As he walks with a sharp sound, he finds a mass of water floating in the air, like Sally's [Water Path]. It looked like this from a distance. There were monsters similar to this one in the previous layer, but this time it wasn't.

"Looks like you're not a monster." Is this the kind of terrain? "

"There's also a block of ice floating over there." I can see the pillars. "

What was visible from above didn't seem to be proof that there were monsters.

It corresponds to overflowing lava, etc., in the area on the reverse side.

We're close to town, so after we get to the Guildhome?

That's right. Let's go to town first!

There were no monsters on the road to the town, and the eight were able to reach the town from the top of the hill.

I thought from a distance, but it feels a little different from the town before.

"Awesome wall... hey, Sally, are you surrounding the town?"

“Probably. That's natural for a role.”

The town is surrounded by tall walls and a moat surrounds it. Now that you're out of the high ground, you can see the whole town from the entrance beyond the bridge that was hung over the moat.

The boundary with the field is much clearer than it has ever been.

As the eight of them cross the bridge, a pale light shines from the crystal set on the front entrance. However, there was nothing particularly wrong with the current situation, so I was able to proceed as it was.

Then, after crossing the bridge, the NPC, who looked like a guard wearing armor on both sides of the entrance, called out.

"Are you a traveler? If you take the inn, go to the central castle."

Got it!

When Maple replied cheerfully, she was the first to enter the town.

Unlike the towns built according to the special theme of each layer, which had several layers so far, the town on this side of the nine floors was lined with beautiful Western-style buildings, and beyond the township decorated with water and ice that retained its shape with mysterious force, a white castle was built in the middle of the hill, and such a castle town was one of the bases of the nine floors.

The eight layers are completely submerged, and the shape of the town is also special, and I feel like I've seen an ordinary town for quite a while.

"It was properly displayed in quest format." It looks a little different than before. "

As Chrome said, the part of the quest that everyone was ordering was marked as [going to the Imperial Castle].

"I think there is a possibility that there will be a layer to do this this time. It's a quest that came from over there, so I don't think it's okay to leave it alone."

That's right. I feel like I need you to go ahead with this.

Well then, when we get to the guild home, we'll all be together!

Yes!

Let's go, Mr. Maple!

Next is the quest, the Maple that goes ahead and Mai and Yui that arrive at it. The five follow as they watch over the three of them. Those three won't lose sight of you when you run.

I wonder if all the main quests are the same? how far the branches are spreading.... "

"When I'm free, should I look the other way?" It would be easier to plan a plan if you knew both of them. "

"Then I guess I'll do the same." If the Maples could explore us, we'd have a lot of material on our side. If I can, I'd like to get it all sooner. "

"Well then, it would be helpful if Izzy and Canade could do that." Considering that this field itself is used in interpersonal battles. "

"I'll find something that can find me and Kasumi." Solidity is ours. So, if you leave it to those three people who need to be helped by chance, it will be no problem. "

"There's no problem, because it's a strange story... but I don't think so."

“If you do it as you normally do, I'm sure you'll get good results.”

I see.

Looking ahead at the three of them, the five of them talk about their preparations for the interpersonal battle. The Maples were certainly powerful, but I couldn't help them. We also need to prepare for good results.

Sulley, who didn't like to be prepared for it, had to prepare for the operation first.
