I thought I couldn't possibly sleep in such a shitty environment, but when I realized it, the night was dawning.

"Humans can sleep anywhere unexpectedly..."

I remembered the strange emotions and looked next door rubbing my sleeping eyes and there was an apple asleep.

In the game it's about an apple even called the Puppet Princess.

I was going to do if I slept with my eyes open, but fortunately my eyes were closed properly.

Instead, it worries me because I don't move one after a while of observation, but in a way I can say it's always the way it is.

Well, do you want me to get up for now?

That's what I thought, and I tried to speak up.

"Hey, apple, morning..."

I reconsidered along the way and stopped the words.

Yesterday, as well as the people of the city, even the horses in the cabin across the street were affected by the hissame event.

I'm glad it fits naturally, but I don't even think things got better while I was asleep.

Fortunately, apples didn't seem to be affected by that as of yesterday, but they still aren't.

Imagine if even she'd started talking about shark houses, I'd be a little scared.

Speaking of which, what happened to the shark of the day?

I remember her following us all the time, and during the night, I saw horns where cat ears should have popped out.

... None.

"Sharks? You're not here?

I also looked around at other corners and places where I might be able to hide, but I don't see her there either.

Did you return at night to the boulder?

Well, if that bothers you, we should be able to grab our place right away with the Explorer's ring, and I don't think we've given up on this, but honestly, don't let your shoulders get out of hand just a little bit, so the minute I look back,

"Whew!"

From the pile of straw in front of me, two triangular objects just popped up in.

"Again, you were noticed"

More arms came out of it, his face appeared, and a shark appeared.

"What are you doing..."

Ninja or something. I wanted to say, but I didn't think it was far away.

I was totally frightened, but the shark shook his pull and face off the straw that was on his ear,

"It was cold, so I couldn't help it.

Thank you. They've been watching us. "

and truly flat.

Well, in fact, we were hearing sneezing in the middle of the night, and it seems like a little shark can't beat the cold.

I looked at the cat ears that popped up, and I kind of thought, 'Is it because of the cat', but it's probably because of the outfit.

She only wears the least amount of things to get the most out of her speed.

The only thing I have is two weighing knives in my hand and a smaller Adventurer bag.

One piece of clothing that boasts an exceptional defense for appearance, but doesn't seem to have much defense against the cold, called 'Heavenly Feather Coat', and then footbags and accessories.

Not very much, but I don't think I can fight the cold at night.

But I would say that about that is a cheap price to pay given her strength.

Travel speeds that exceed even divine cancellation travel and attack speeds.

If you're going to get that quickness, I don't care if you lighten it up and feel a little cold...... yeah?

(Could you possibly use this?

Lightweight is her biggest weapon.

But there could be a gap that goes in there.

Originally she has a weakness.

If you do well aiming around it, or...

(Why am I thinking about things on the premise of fighting sharks?)

Seeing sharks tearing down straw left over from the body with an extra look on their sides.

There is no point in fighting her anymore, whether you go to the shark's house with your mind in mind or running around like this.

The event is already underway, so you can go out of your way here to fight sharks...

(No, it's not...?

That's right.

The event has almost begun, but it is not yet complete.

If you break the flag here, there is still a chance that you can avoid it.

"... shark"

As soon as I could think of it there, my mouth was calling nature and her name.

"Something?

Sharks who just pinched the last straw away respond to a lack of interest.

But that was until I uttered the next word.

"After all, with me, why don't we fight?

Shark movement stops.

That gaze clearly caught my eye.

"Are you serious?

In a slightly narrowed eye lies a sharp light.

I guess you can't believe my change of heart I've been reluctant to fight.

Even if you're not a shark, some people might wonder what you've lost in challenging her to battle here.

But this is the best I can come up with.

It is the best way to avoid leeches.

There are five conditions for the occurrence of the "Shark Family Visiting Event", and so on, but I don't have to think about what is most important.

- "The shark calls me to his house" is one point.

The Leech Family Visit Event is literally an event to visit the Leech family, so if you're not called there, it shouldn't be a problem.

If it even breaks down here, no matter how many other conditions were met, the event probably won't start.

In that case, the story is simple.

The shark is trying to call me to his dojo simply because he wants to fight me.

So if you decide to fight me here in advance, there is no longer any reason for sharks to call me to the dojo, and the event flag can be broken.

But the problem is after the fight.

Last time I saw the intensity of the event flag incorrectly, and this is how things ended up leaving their roots behind.

So I won't get out of hand there this time.

"Oh. Of course I mean it.

This time I won't deceive like I did before.

I'll really 'fight' with you.

Instead, I want you to drink your terms too. "

"Conditions, what?

The shark whisks the cat's ear slightly and the disturbing air widens.

Last time, last time and, she's in a pit in terms of rules.

There seems to be no reason to be alert to boulders this time.

But I pretend not to notice it and make demands unilaterally.

"I want you to talk to me about calling me to the dojo.

That, of course, doesn't matter if you win or lose a battle.

I want you to stop saying that because you lost, you followed me to the dojo, or you succeeded to the dojo because you beat me the other way around. "

It doesn't make sense that we won the fight and the event went on after all.

This demand was only natural from me.

"Okay."

I guess I expected tougher conditions.

Sharks nodded briefly to my suggestion.

This is a relief, but it's not over yet.

If you say so, this one is just insurance.

My destiny is still in battle with sharks.

Even if we don't have to go to the dojo, it won't be a fundamental solution if we don't do something about the current situation where sharks are interested.

The ultimate goal was to keep sharks away from me, and I was going to make that happen in this battle.

In general, there are two ways to do this.

Do you want me to be lightly hit and think, 'I can't help fighting this guy,' or vice versa, hit by Cotempan and think, 'I don't want to fight this guy again'?

This time, I was trying to get closer to the latter one way or another.

To do this, we need to set up a proper playing field first.

I opened my mouth again.

"Besides, even if it's a battle, it's only a 'game', and it's not a life-threatening one.

Using a proper dueling system, deciding where to go, even if it's not the end of a duel, it's the lowest condition to end a battle with stunning, off-site, or gibberish. "

We are talking in the form of demands, but I can say that this is by no means an unfair condition, and rather it is weirder to try to start a battle without deciding on rules of this magnitude.

No matter how much it cost, I thought it would be difficult if you didn't accept this much...

"Fine.

Sometimes I have promises I made earlier.

Let's fight on those terms. "

From how I look, did you decide there was no trap here?

It seems a little unfortunate, but for what it was wary of, the shark drank the terms of the battle for me.

"The date and time will be three days later during the day.

Hard to see places for people if you can.

If you want to protect it, you can specify the time and the place. "

In the sense of responding to that good faith, the designation of time and place gives way to the other party.

There was also a reassurance that sharks would not do small work there.

"Then at this hour in three days, behind here,"

It was a shark-like instant execution that didn't really focus on where to fight.

Of course there's nothing different about me.

"Oh. That doesn't matter"

Keep a gentle nod.

Sure, the back here was like a small garden.

It's quite spacious, and it's unlikely to be noticeable.

Me and the sharks, the stage of that second battle, was thus decided.

(... hmm?

So I should have decided to talk, but usually the shark that was supposed to walk away as soon as I was done with errands somehow didn't try to move with my face staring at it.

No, on the contrary, he rides himself out a little bit and glances around my eyes.

"Duh, what's wrong?

Although the usual words and actions are not solely conscious of words and deeds, sharks are popular characters enough to decorate the top of the ranking and look very neat.

She's an amazing beauty in a nutshell.

Stuck up to close range by such a human being, I was unwittingly upset.

"No. I didn't realize it because I had never been this close, but if you look closely..."

At that time, there was a little noise behind me.

"Oh, you're up"

An apple.

Wake up and look at this one with a blurred eye.

There shouldn't be anything particularly offensive, but it kind of deepened the upset even further.

Did that cut your temper, and the shark put back the face that was close to me, too?

"I'll see you here in three days.

… don't forget that I have the Explorer's Ring "

The shark walked away after stabbing the nail with insignificance not to run away.

"... Ouch?

I thought they would say something about talking to sharks, but that was the only reaction from apples.

When I said, oh, and nodded, the apple didn't show any interest there at all, and was still looking at the other horse cabin behind it, not me.

Somehow, I followed that gaze, too.

There was a white horse yesterday, and he noticed our gaze,

"Hiheen."

It was purposeful, and it wasn't.
