In the dark, he walked upstream of the river without lights on. This is a riverbank outside District 23, and you can see people's lights in the distance.

"Hmm, don't feel lonely about the lights in the house."

Because there were predictions of monsters walking in places like this. Recently, places of emergence are spreading to such remote areas.

It's been a hell of a time.

I'm glad Touring came, but I miss him so much. 'Cause it's dark and there's nobody here. Besides, the wind's getting cold.

But people in the city are trashed, so I don't really want to go out. It's been a lot of noise lately, and I can't show off this cosplay.

"No, is it weird walking in a cosplay? If you disturb the peace any longer, I can easily defeat the monsters."

Murmuring about things like that.

I just hope that the demon extermination will become more normal and that someone other than me will stand out. I wonder if that would make it a normal fashion...

Looking at the clock, it's nine o'clock at night. I'd like to hunt down and stock up on what I've just made armor for when I'm out of material.

At that time, Burl and his cell phone rang.

Hi, it's Goto.

"Nishioka. I've been checking the situation everywhere, but what about you?"

"I wonder if we're going to get to the appearance point soon. Nishioka-san's team has been working all night."

"That can't be helped. To tell you the truth, everyone who saw your battle did. It's funny, but there are more people with fuller faces than before."

Oh, my God. Oh, no, I think you know what I'm saying. At least I've been better off since I deserted.

"The world has changed a bit. Do you understand what I said on the day of the hearing?

"Oh, that. Okay, I don't know if I'd be happy to. And I have some information that bothers me about the Talented. If you're interested, I'll send you a young forest. Come soon. I want your opinion."

Hmm, and I'm worried for a while.

How interested are you? It's up to you to move. Too much cooperation will not be a good outcome, and coexistence is difficult.

So I asked only one question.

"Heh, how do you care?

"There were some of them in the station. Two of them were in charge of clearing the nest."

Well, I leak my words. In other words, it seems to have finally come out. Those who have changed by destroying the monsters.

If Nishioka-san says so, it is very likely that he "woke up" just like the rain dragon. Its credibility is bad, but much higher than yours. [M]

I briefly told her that I would be there soon, and I hung up my phone.

Then I stopped walking.

I heard a strange noise coming from behind.

I miss the riverbanks at night because they stroke my cheeks from the breeze. I think it's because there are no signs of people anywhere.

Looking back slowly. Because of my mind, I felt something different than the usual monsters. I think it is probably because of the floating smell.

Sticky as a tar, you can still hear a "kiki" and a little laugh.

What are you laughing at, monster? Let's sprinkle the salt.

As he approached, there was something overflowing from one point in the river. Like a fountain. Something black fibrous is gradually increasing the mass.

I think it is close to plants because it has leaves and stems. The color was perfectly black and floated from the surrounding grass.

"What is this feeling?"

However, since this is the first time I've seen a monster born, my curiosity is budding. I started shooting slowly after operating my smartphone and putting it into recording mode.

"Er, the time is nine o'clock at night. Located in Akiruno City. As you can see, the surroundings are naturally wrapped, and I saw the campsite earlier."

It got a little more fun when I started to live it without meaning. I see. Probably the first sight mankind has ever seen. If you go to a video site, the number of visits is incalculable.

"What the hell is this? I'll try poking it with a stick. Ah, ah... look at that. It feels like the plant is growing faster. Oh, my God, I'm getting tangled up in a stick."

Say it yourself and say, "What's the trouble?"

What? This is a little fun. I'm getting tangled up in the stick, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ha, I don't know, but I'm thrilled.

I knew it wasn't like a beehive. It could be a new kind of monster.

Hey, Guido, what's his name?

It is a plant called Egia that lives mainly in the danger zone of the demonic world. The power is immeasurable.

I wonder... huh? What did you just say?

The moment you make a weird face, how about that! and black plants are pushing up like a tsunami.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! They'll come crawling all over you! Nyaaa, it's disgusting, it's disgusting!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's why you're trying to come in with your eyeballs and your mouth. Let me get rid of monsters better!

Even if you desperately apologize, you won't listen to me, but you desperately hold down your face and ears and say, "Nhhhhh!" I'll scream.

How much mass did you put together? It's dark and I can't see anything, but I can't help but feel the weight on my knees.

It's heavy...! What is this? Huh? My joints are twitching!

When I put it around my body, it's like muscle fibers. After that, I finally started ringing my heart out loud as I was forced to just say, "Let go of the hands that cover my face."

Damn, he's got a lot of power! It wasn't like we were doing a live one!

No, I knew it was common sense! On the level that I'm going to see the fields on a typhoon day... yaaa, I'm coming in from the side!

"Kon... nnh...!

Mimimi-chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Then, one step at a time, you can rely on the sound of the stream to get to where you think there is a river.

But I can't. The vine stabbed me on the ground and pulled me to sit there.

The pulling of force and force will eventually show results. After being crushed on both knees again, I couldn't help but exhale my hot breath.

Shit. I don't know what to do, but I don't know if I can really use the moves I just learned at this distance. There, that one. What about the lysate... but I can't breathe anymore. I can't do it anymore. I have to do it.

― ― Dissolution Radiation (Melt Rain)!

The moment you exercise your Armored Skill, Juoo! There was a sound of something melting around my ear.

The technique I just learned is a dissolution solution that burns a radius of about three meters. I got it by defeating Gizmo's best opponent, but I've never had such a pleasant move before.

The liquid flowing through my body looked like warm water. I felt relieved that the sour smell was not harmful to me. Maybe it melted with him.

But the worst is the same. It feels really disgusting to have warm, sticky water flowing all over my body. So I squeezed my strength, and I barked.

"Boo, woosh!!

When you pull the force, the Eggia monster screams. It sounded like she clawed her fingers in a glass called hye.

The lysate was stopped after about a minute. Because I don't feel bound anymore.

I'm finally free in a crouched position, and it's time to let go of my strong hands. There were many melting plants on the trembling fingers, dripping with little force.

Ah, it's like, "I was stunned by my hair loss." Terrible. Really terrible. The refreshing feeling of fighting monsters is completely zero.

Hear, take a deep breath and slowly squeeze your buttocks. Then I finally realized. The Egia monster ran away toward the mountain.

Oh, really? Black lumps are creeping up.

"Is this the type that you can move as you like? It would be troublesome if we could escape to the mountains! Shit!"

No, I think there are fewer monsters that can't move around in the first place. Gizmo just happened to have the character of a "nest."

That's right, I ran after him in a hurry.
