"Oh, I was there. That's him..."

A newly popped viscous fungus, 'yellow slime', was placed in an empty bottle with care not to touch it directly.

Quickly close the lid and throw it inside the cooler box.

"All right!"

I thought they'd play it, but they let me in too soon.

There shouldn't be a creature in the cooler box, but if it was bottled, it would seem OK.

If it's the result of tracing the monkey 'cat-eared cat' world in many ways, it's a lot of reproduction, but I'm not sure of the criteria.

"What are you going to use that stuff for?

Mitsuki stopped by and asked as she bent her cat ear in surprise.

"I thought I'd use it for a little trap."

As I answer, I look over at the former "Mucus Forest," which has completely turned into a wilderness.

It wasn't until near dawn the next day that I woke up sleeping in "The Cave of Running Water".

Mitsuki reported that he had come all the way back and had swept away the mucus bacteria from all the fields, including The Mucus Forest.

It's an amazing speed of boulders, though it would take a lot of time just to get around.

Then we woke up the sleeping apple and headed to the 'Mucus Forest'.

There were a few things I wanted to be sure of, because I wanted to make sure I had the sticky bacteria if I could for the future.

What I wanted to make sure was how the 'Sticky Fungus Forest' looked.

Even though I've wiped out all the minutes I'm here now, they pop every certain hour.

If trees and grasses remain or are resurrected in the 'Viscose Forest', it could grow again at short intervals to feed them.

In conclusion, that worry is likely to end in concern.

Although the new viscous fungus had been popped, no forest trees or grass had been revived on the boulder.

If you talk to Mitsuki, she won't suddenly bring up the flora and fauna of the field, regardless of the monster.

Still, another major outbreak of mucus will occur in a few months, but I decided to ask Mitsuki and Shark Dojo for this.

I also thought of crushing pop points and setting poison traps, but I wouldn't be able to do anything that would last forever.

More than that, it would also be better for this world to ask Mitsuki to learn how to deal with sticky fungus around shark dojo and create a system that won't be harmed if it occurs in large numbers.

And this is how another purpose was achieved.

The purpose of this is, of course, to secure the viscous fungus, or capture.

I'm thinking about using this sticky fungus as a prep for the Kingsville Raid.

When I look to the side, the apples fit in with Kuma in some way.

"... Huh?

I'm messing with a flank of yarn on my back saying something like that, but is that stuffed okay?

I think Kuma has no heart or serious feelings, but it's probably because of her mind.

I wonder if it's beautiful to be close.

When I decided not to see Kuma's hand twitching, I turned to Mitsuki.

Speak with a little whisper so as not to disturb the apples that seem to be having fun.

"Just for the record, I have information that there will be a demonic invasion of the king's capital soon."

"Raid the King's Capital, is it?

Mitsuki's cat ear now says, "Really?" And I overlap words as I watch them turn.

"Oh. A ton of demons push in from the west.

I don't know if or when it's going to happen, but I was wondering if this would help. "

"No way, and you feed the monsters you've been raiding?

Mitsuki makes a sound of surprise at the boulder.

But no way.

"Wang Du Raid" is a 100-level equivalent event, with about 90-110 monsters pushing it around the center.

To be precise, in the "King's Capital Raid," the monsters are mainly composed of enemies of the field on the west side of the King's Capital to attack them from the west side of the King's Capital, or the demons that attack them.

With its level layer between 90 and 110, it means that the demons that come raiding are in the same level range, but it would be nice to talk in so much detail.

Level 90 or 110, whichever is within the predatable range of viscous bacteria.

Monsters flying into the boulder didn't seem to be easy to eat, even by viscous fungus, but there wasn't a single thing about other monsters.

If "Wang Du Raid" occurred during the mucus outbreak, the monsters who had attacked Wang Du were immediately swallowed by the mucus.

I was going to artificially cause this phenomenon.

It's still at the thought stage, but I think it should function as a trap if used in combination with a trap around a pit.

Dig a pit west of Wang Du and put a sticky fungus in there.

Although we have not verified whether it works on mucus bacteria, we already know that it has the effect of restricting the movement of normal monsters.

Limit the path of the demons to the pits to guide the demons.

Of course, you'll need to pack it in fine, but if it works, this is the only way you could defeat the majority of the demons you've raided.

Then, naturally, there will be more sticky bacteria, but if you throw in the last monster that you've poisoned, that solves it.

When I explained it that way, Mitsuki slammed her cat's ear.

"That's a nasty operation.

But it might work. "

If Mitsuki will give you ink, I feel comfortable.

"However, if we're going to do this, we have to get permission from the Kingdoms and the Knights."

If they get caught planting sticky bacteria, that's what criminals are treated like.

It would be dangerous if the city people stepped in by mistake, and the cooperation of the Knights would be essential if they were to set such a trap.

I guess Mitsuki also knows the area.

Nod to my words,

"If we're going to do it, we're going to have to get my father and dojo people to do it right around there.

If they're fathers, they're probably still... Hmm?

I just spoke that far and suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong with you?

"... No, I explored it with the Explorer's ring, but my father is leaving the dojo"

Now I twisted my neck to that word.

"Is that a rare thing?

"Yes. Pretty rare.

My father has been sitting in the dojo for a long time, so he rarely travels from the dojo for a year.

Now that we've talked about it, I've looked into it, but I didn't really think it was moving. "

Speaking of which, I don't recall seeing Asahi anywhere but in the dojo in the game.

Considering that NPCs other than adventurers are usually the only ones in the same city in the first place, you might certainly say that's a rare case.

"Do you know where he is?

"This place, it's probably the king's capital.

It's just... I don't feel like it's the center of the city, it's outside the critical city. "

"Outside the city? Which side?

"West. Are you saying you haven't arrived in the city yet?"

"West...?

Just a little bit, I had a nasty imagination.

I think it's over-thinking.

I think, either way, you just have to make sure.

I asked Mitsuki.

"Mitsuki, do you have a metastatic stone?

"Yes, I do..."

"Then use it now to get back to the king's capital."

"Huh? But..."

My sudden suggestion was cat ears saying, "Uh-huh?" It was shaky and cute, but not if you're in love with it.

"If there's nothing, it's good to go with you.

So please. "

"... then"

Pushed by my sword screen, Mitsuki raises a metastatic stone.

But...

"...? Nothing's gonna happen."

An unpleasant imagination seems to have become a reality.

(Not good, this is...)

A transfer stone is a convenient escape item, but it's not universal.

'Cause I want you to think about it for a second.

If transfer stones can be used anytime, anywhere, all escape events will be easily avoided.

Harassing people with that can't be tolerated by the 'cat ear cat' staff, who prefer to have three meals.

This game has also rightly taken over the magic of movement and the fate of moving items in RPG.

During certain events or special dungeons, you will not be able to travel with the "Unstable Magic" Transfer Stone.

It is justified that 'because it uses a magic stream for metastasis, when it becomes unstable, the metastasis becomes unusable', but it is appropriate to do so anyway, so it can be replaced with 'but dispelled with strange force'.

Of course this is not a field where metastatic stones are not usable.

So the fact that the metastatic stone does not activate means that it is under the influence of some event.

But the problem is that there are no events going on around us.

This means that it is presumed that there is an event happening in the Wang capital, not this one, but the destination of the transfer, so...

(The "King's Capital Raid" event has already begun, is it?

It would be more natural to assume that the event has been launched.

Other than that, I can't think of any major event that would prohibit metastases occurring at this time.

But there were no such signs when I visited Wang Capital before.

Even given the conditions, it is too early for the 'King's Capital Raid' to take place at this time.

but

(After all, is it because of the sticky fungus?

"Wang Du Raid" occurs under the influence of "Demonic Invasion Degree" near Wang Du.

The growth of mucous bacteria was stopped by the efforts of the mites.

'Demonic Invasion' after all erases would be lower than before viscosity growth.

(But suppose the event flag stood before that...)

Even though I handled it well, I'm pretty sure there was an explosion of 'demonic invasion' in this area even for a moment alone.

And once the event flag stands, how much 'demon invasion' has been lowered from there, the event won't stop happening.

Still, I think it's too hasty, but not if I'm investigating the cause now.

"Mitsuki! There could be an anomaly going on in Wang Du!

Check the location of the people you know with the Explorer's Ring and try to explore the situation somehow!

… I get it!

Even as I hear that reply, I keep thinking.

It is likely that the 'King's Capital Raid' event has occurred, but the raid itself has not yet begun.

The 'King's Capital Raid' event should have had some prep time before the monsters raided.

In the meantime, I couldn't move very freely if I got on the event route because I would be in bystander mode or time would fly, but I feel I could afford about a few hours from when the transfer became impossible until the raid.

The question is how much time has passed since the metastatic stone became unusable.

The event flag stood before Mitsuki erased the sticky fungus, more than a few hours ago likely, but we don't know if the event started right from there.

We may still have time to invade, and in the worst case scenario, the battle may have already begun.

If the event had started in the absence of players in the game, there would have been considerable damage to Wang Du.

If that really happened this time, people actually died...

(No, wait, wait!

There was no way in the game Asahi would rush to the city for rescue.

The face of the shark dojo boasts considerable combat power with that one.

If the event has begun, but the shark family has gone to join forces, it may be easy to escape the raid.

"Mitsuki, how about the others in the dojo?

"From what I've looked into, it looks like everyone is going to Wang Capital.

Most of them are gathered west of the king's capital. "

"Right. Well, then maybe he sensed a raid on the king's capital and headed for the rescue."

A little relieved.

Come to think of it, the dojo of the Leeches is also west of the King's Capital.

It is either southwest, or south, where the demons come, and the dojo of the Leeches is in a place to the north.

It's not a raiding passage, but if a large group of demons go through, they will surely discover it faster than the people in the city.

And anyway for events in the game world, if in reality a bunch of monsters attack you, it's weirder that a shark dojo nearby doesn't go to the city's rescue.

I thought this would make you feel a little safer.

"I'm just concerned that we're all really going to King's Capital.

Those who are unlikely to be able to fight are also moving to the King's Capital.

Now it's more like evacuation than rescue. "

"Evacuation..."

Anxiety reverberates in Mitsuki's words.

No, I don't have time to think about it now.

"Anyway, let's head to the city.

If you turn west and head north, you might poke the enemy in the back "

We're on the south side of the city now.

If you proceed as you circle west, you can pinch the enemy if you succeed.

I also thought about using a transfer stone to move to another location, but I can't think of a suitable transfer location, and I can't move to a place I haven't visited.

I'm afraid we're going to have to run here.

"Apples!"

Shouting, the apple stopped twitching with Kuma and came right over here.

"It is possible that the Wang Du is being attacked by demons.

We're on our way to full speed. "

"... okay"

The apple nodded quickly, and Kuma hid behind me in that gap.

That, from Kuma's back, something...

No, not now!

I can see from Kuma's back. Pretend I didn't notice anything and head north all the way.

"Mr. Ringo, are you okay?

"... I'm fine"

Mitsuki is vegan and fast, and I also consume less stamina on divine speed cancellation travel, so that I can travel for a long time.

Kuma is sticking to my back, so no problem.

If everyone travels at the highest speed, it comes down to nature and apples to delay.

Still, apples are also a lot faster than the average NPC.

We approached Gungu and Wangdu faster than we could go.

I've had Mitsuki use the Explorer's ring, but there doesn't seem to be much movement beyond now.

If the dead come out, they won't know where their opponents are, so it's believed that there's either no battle yet, or even if it's a battle, the human side prevails.

The march is going well as we are taking the route around the west slightly but seems to be as easy to go as possible.

We found him when we thought we could reach the city in half an hour.

"Why is such a monster in a place like this...?

There was a monster who wasn't supposed to be in this field.

Acid escargot, level 130.

It is a monster feared for its unexpectedly strong and edible name, but also for its poor character, which melts the weapon of the character attacked with its acidic body, more than its simple strength.

The enemy level in this field should be around 100.

It's not supposed to be the kind of monster you see in a place like this.

Seems like just one from what I've seen, and is it some kind of bug?

That's what I thought, I was twisting my neck by myself,

"... that, look"

Now when the apple pulled the edge of his clothes and looked in a different direction, he saw a green giant in the distance.

"Gigantogoblin......"

Gigantogoblin.

That's a super giant goblin that made the 'cat ear cat' players say, "It's not like goblins anymore," "What the hell was a goblin?" and "You can't just make everything huge."

It's a monster that's very dull in its goblin habits but doesn't insult the power of a blow, and its level is actually 155.

It is a monster that should only inhabit the vicinity of Demon King Castle.

Such a monster walks flatly through this field, which should be about level 100, and is heading east.

"How could you be in a place like this..."

Mitsuki answered me by surprise.

"No, if it's a gigantic goblin, I've seen it around here.

Around here, a little further back, in the west field, "

"West? But such a high level field ahead..."

I was about to tell you, I noticed.

"Right, game unimplemented zone!!

I couldn't go in the game, the west side of the country.

The information that beyond the west of the map there is an area full of powerful demons dates from the game era.

If that's where they say it is, it would mean a field with high 'demonic invasion' and high level monsters popping.

Wasn't that why the demons attacked from the west, not from the north where the demon kings are in the first place, because the monsters were flooded from the west where the most demons are activated in this country?

(No way, the 'Wang Du Raid' was speeded up not only because of the sticky fungus, but because unimplemented fields on the west side were implemented?

No, more than that, what if there were such a high level of monsters mixed up in a bunch of monsters in The King's Capital Raid...)

A shark dojo man evacuates to the king's capital for fear of things, and perhaps even if the knights and shark dojo make every effort to defend themselves, they can't protect the city.

"King's Capital Raid" will probably be the worst tragedy in this world.

For all of a sudden, there was nothing to do.

The monsters that emerge are likely to be at an unparalleled level compared to when the game is played.

Still......

(Me, us, we have to do something...!

- The desperate 'King's Capital Raid' event, which no one has ever seen, now begins.
