"Ko, is this the glowing dark cave..."

The day after the Southern Dam decimation.

I was asked by Ena to help her train.

The location is the dungeon "Glowing Dark Cave" at level 108.

It's a place with a name like Suthern named it, but given the level alone, it's over thirty higher than Ena today.

I don't think it's a problem because of the effect of the compassion ring, but Ena seems a little freaked out.

"'Cause it's okay. Because I'm on this one, and I'm watching the apples and the mites."

This time the members are me, Ena, Apple and Mitsuki.

Leila left a message at home.

Maki has only visited a little this morning, but he seems to be busy after the case of the Mage Guild.

"Well, I have to be filial or something while I can"

What did he say, but what kind of blow?

Remaining Southern, but never came out so I went to my room and spoke to him, but he didn't respond at all.

Apparently, he's still heartbroken.

Well, I'll leave the rest to you, so you won't have to worry about it.

"So, but I've been working with Mr. Thiel.

The Light Loot that comes out here says the magic doesn't work, and it's very dangerous because it blows itself up when it gets close!

I was a little impressed with that word.

He didn't just fight his enemies in vain, he also looked into monsters properly.

I don't think it's Ena's behavior. Deep caution, but it must be Thiel's inward wisdom.

But you don't have to worry about that.

"What. If you know, talk fast. I'm trying to get you to fight that light route this time."

"La, with the light route!

"Oh. But as I said earlier, you don't have to worry so much.

Sure, you might freak out at first, but there's already been an easy must-have knitted out about him. "

"Yes, what is it?

"Rather, he was famous as a level monster in the game."

Making her listen that far, Ena also finally breathed relief in relief.

"Nevertheless, I was surprised that Ena had asked for this."

Shortly after we defeated the Demon King, we agreed that power leveling was not good for each other.

Leveling may be faster if you easily defeat your enemies with must-wins and the help of strong allies, but you often don't develop the key player skills, or the skills to fight.

"Oh, that's..."

To my words, Ena nodded her face a little.

"At first, I was going to be slow and strong, too. But..."

"But?"

When I urged her first, Ena shook her hand as a boom.

"Yes, no! Or thought I'd stop admiring someone strong!

It's kind of an answer that hasn't answered at all, but Ena's getting impatient to deceive it.

"Well, more than that, what's a must-win?

Maybe it won't be damaged if it is hardened with light attribute protective equipment... "

"Too bad. Lightroot's suicide bombing magic, Shiny Rain, is unattributable."

"Even though it's shiny rain on the light route!?

"It's like that, the world"

Instead of the world, 'cat ear cat' should say, in this case it would be the same thing.

"Then, uh, actually, certain attributes are weaknesses, so you can magically defeat them, or something"

"Off the hook. He has properties that reduce the magic of any attribute, including no attributes, to one damage, so I wonder if that's hard."

"Well, then, if you use a bow from afar to knock it down before you're noticed..."

"Actually, it's a valid hand, but he'll blow himself up if he takes one shot, so we'll have to take him down with one shot."

"Mm, mmm. Okay, well, uh..."

It was Ena, who started worrying adorably, but unfortunately the time is up.

"Let's enjoy that later.

If I had fun from the start, I wouldn't be training, and for now, I'd have to start by setting the place up. "

"Getting the place ready...?

Over Ena's shoulder with a question mark, I saw Mitsuki.

"I don't mind any time"

I got it, and Mitsuki stopped by me without saying anything.

With all that comfort, I look around the cave.

For your sake, I'm not popping the light route right now.

"All right, let's clean the cave first! I'm gonna throw a monster over there other than the light route!

That said, I pointed to the indentation in the corner of the cave.

Thus the first task of the day.

Cleaning the cave had begun.

"Ho, you're really missing nothing..."

A few minutes later, me and Mitsuki had succeeded in getting all the monsters off the spot except the light route.

The monsters here can't climb more than a certain step, so they can be isolated by throwing them in a certain place.

Of course, this is useless knowledge in offense because it requires as much strength as it can capture and carry an opponent without killing him.

However, due to the specifications of "Cat Ear Cat," only one group of monsters come out of one pop point at the same time.

This means that if we can isolate our enemies without killing them, we can disable the corresponding pop points.

Now the only pop point alive is the "pop point that only leaves the light route" with two places in the dungeon.

Now we have an environment where we can continue to defeat only the light route in an extended way.

"Get in the mood, Ena. This is where the real deal starts."

"Ha, ha!

"Then first..."

I found a light route that showed up in good time, and I made a deliberate noise and approached.

Then the light route that found me spins around.

Turn the plant face to me and it will shine white...

"Come on!

From its entire body, it radiated a shower of light.

The line of light blown out in all directions was spectacular in a way, but if you did this without previous information, it's not a hoard.

It is impossible to visually avoid the showers of light emitted without gaps.

That would be impossible not only for the player, but also for Mitsuki, who has a godly kinetic vision and physical ability.

Naturally, I was out of range before the light reached criticality, but if it was a first glance, I would most likely be baptized with light without knowing anything.

"... ah"

And for about ten seconds, the light route kept sprinkling showers of light around him, and at the same time as the magic was over, he now turned his body into light and extinguished it.

By the way, if the light route dies from a suicide bombing, then neither EXP nor element is allowed in.

Finally, monsters other than the light route out in this dungeon have very little experience, so knocking them down with a suicide bomb entanglement has little success.

I can tell you how well designed it is in terms of cat ears and cat-like disgust that it never makes the player feel good.

Well, that's good.

I explained to Ena, who was swallowed by suicide bombing magic and was totally on the bar, what she meant today.

"What I want Ena to remember this time is that suicide bombing magic, the technique of avoiding shiny rains and attacking opponents"

"Oh, you know, can you avoid it?!

"Oh. Hey, watch this."

That said, I approach the light route that emerged from the other pop point uncrafted.

Light route that still turns to me and shines white.

It went down here earlier, but not this time.

Make sure the light route is fixed in the direction and step out.

Approximate range of effects of shiny rain From critical, three steps forward, two steps to the right position.

"Oh, Mr. Soma!?

Immediately after, the light route emits strong light.

From there a shower of light emits in all directions.

It naturally poured down on my body, too.

"Dangerous!

Ena screams, but I'm fine, I waved back.

In fact, I could afford that much.

"Yeah, yeah..."

What did you think when you saw me like that, Ena's voice takes on a subtle shade.

At first glance, there are no blind spots in this shiny rain, but that's just a story of appearance.

Naturally, there's no way that that mesmerizing cat ear cat staff could make a decision on every single piece of light line that came out in large quantities.

In fact, the graphics and the hit judgment have little to do with it, especially since this move is rare where there is a hit judgment, so if you even know that, you can go no-damage.

"For the first few seconds, if you stand here because this position is secure, you won't hit the attack.

I guess I should just remember that the landmark is the first light, about a step from where it fell to the back left "

"No, no, no, no! It's hitting! He said it was a hit, Mr. Soma!

"Oh, no, so..."

I glanced down at a bunch of light thrusting through my body, and I put my head on.

Ena still doesn't seem to understand the difference between attack effects and hit judgment.

I don't know what else to do, but move on with my legs.

"Anyway. Get as close as you can to drawing the letter S from here..."

This move changes from place to place where the judgment exists over time.

Accompanied by that, I ran the first two steps, a comma for about five seconds, and now I'm on my mid waist, carving about five steps, kneeling on the spot, waiting for two seconds, and then dashing so I can be kicked out!

I dare to take only three steps away from the light route and flip quickly, moving my body sideways through the narrow gap, jumping into front of the demon while avoiding the attack decision that comes at my last foot.

Thus, worshipping the loving and hateful face of Light Route from close range, he waved a little agnostic down his head, which was a weakness.

"... if you attack your weaknesses this way, you can probably end up with one shot even in Ena"

A light route that is deprived of all HP in one blow and slowly turns into particles of light.

"Whoa..."

I saw something extraordinary for some reason, and Ena leaked an exclamation, but it's not over yet.

I kicked and pushed the light route, which was starting to go out in the light, and moved to where the light route had stood before.

"And don't be alarmed because you defeated him.

Even if the demon dies, his shot magic will continue, so this is how he moves quickly to the complete safety zone, that is, where the light route was.

This is the first success I've ever had. "

When the magic subsided and I slowly explained that to Ena, Ena had turned a mixed and complex gaze of respect and fright.

"Mr. Soma, I knew it was amazing!

So, but somehow, I think this is a little too advanced for me.

Better start with a monster that's easier to beat... "

"It may be hard to remember, but the boss of the dungeon also uses moves that have the same range of effects as this.

At that time, it's very different than not remembering how to avoid this.

Even if you only earn experience, it's the most efficient way to take this guy down before you blow yourself up. "

"Yes, what is it..."

Are you rebelling my words in your brain, Ena?

Behind her still lost, a figure stood.

"... Me, too, do it"

"... Huh?

It was an apple.

Put your hands gently on your shoulders and talk, as if Ena were not alone.

"... I think that dance is a mess, too.

But I will.

Even if it's nasty, until you can. "

"Apple, …"

Ena gives an impressive voice to the appearance of an unexpected companion.

But what are you talking about?

"Sure, it's going to be hard to imitate that odd move.

However perverse it may seem, that and his skill in combat can be relied upon.

I haven't thought about learning how to fight from others yet, but I think I'll be able to train meaningfully today. "

It was Mitsuki who said that and showed up on the other side.

Already out of the moonshadow, I'm in a combat position.

"… yet, we are, yea.

But I'm sure we'll get along. "

"Guys,...... Wow, me, Yama-"

When the two words moved Ena's heart and Ena tried to utter words of determination,

"Simultaneous pop?!

An innocent intruder blocked it.

Light routes emerged almost simultaneously from both sides, from the remaining pop points.

I'm sorry you seem to be getting motivated because of me, but I haven't even explained my movements yet.

It won't be an exercise if they come out now.

"Damn! For now, I..."

It was me trying to handle it with my tongue pounding, but someone moved ahead of it.

Mitsuki and apple.

"Bad in between. Please come back out."

One light route was amputated by a mitzki packed with distance to a foot jump,

"... Grandma"

The remaining light route was also instantly extinguishing charcoal by deceiving the apple thunderbolts.

I won't even give it while I use Shiny Rain, just a second kill play.

"... huh?

The two who have come back reach out to Ena, who exposes the dumb surface.

"Come on, let's encourage it together"

"... with cancer, right?

Ena, who saw it,

"... Yes. Good luck with that."

He took his hand with a slightly soaked face.

"Shh, ahhh!!

"Ena!"

Yeena's screams, which I don't know many times today, echo through the cave.

Ena failed to make a move and was caught in a suicide bombing of Light Route.

"Are you all right!?

Running over to Ena, who had been blown away and fell, she was already up and about to use the potion on herself.

"Ah, haha. I failed again."

Make an impossible smile and say that, but its face is painful.

After that, Mitsuki, with an exceptional sense of combat, succeeded in going before the light route in one go.

Although the apples struggled harder than that, they showed unexpected speed of swallowing and succeeded safely for the fourth time.

But Ena alone could not succeed by doing it ten or twenty times, and was beaten over and over again by the suicide bombing magic of Light Route, rolling on the ground so many times that she couldn't count.

In the game era, this move, which was sometimes called suicide bombing magic shiny rains (physics), is an unattributed physical attack, so there is no effective mitigating measure if it is hit.

Though how much the ring will strengthen your defense and you won't die in Shiny Rain, the pain should be considerable then.

The only reason I could remember how to dodge Shiny Rain was because I didn't feel any pain in the game, and if I were Ena, I would already be so heartbroken.

"Hey, Ena. Nothing, it's not like I absolutely have to do this, and if it's not compatible, give it up..."

To the painful appearance of Ena, I try to call for a halt to my training, but Ena shook her head.

"Yes, I'm fine! Next, next, I'll do it right!

"Yes, no, but..."

Why try so hard?

But before I could go on, Ena, who had finished her treatment, grabbed the dagger and stood up again.

"Eh heh. Look at that, Mr. Soma.

I will master that way of avoiding light, defeat that monster with a bump, and raise the cancer level.

So if that's how I get stronger, then even then, Mr. Soma, don't worry about the original... "

"Ena?"

I do think that's when Ena tried to say something, something important.

But before that, a new light route popped.

"Next time, damn it!

As soon as I see it, Ena, who has changed her face, starts a challenge that will be hundreds of times if she does it dozens, no, poorly.

"Ena!"

On that back, I was speaking unexpectedly.

On the verge of jumping into Shiny Rain's range of effects, I shouted to Ena, who only turned for a moment.

"- Do him!!

A simple, untwisted word.

But the moment she heard the words, Ena did smile, like a smile from the bottom of her heart.

"... Coming"

Apple voice.

Shiny Rain begins.

The first positioning is fine.

It's right in the middle of the safe.

And leave it for a little while and Ena moves out.

First, run for the first trip, then proceed in three steps.

"All right!"

It is a credit that we are increasing the number of steps where we are supposed to go in two steps.

At first, the difference in stride made a subtle difference in distance, but it's been slightly corrected by Ena making an arrangement that suits her.

And after a moment of pause, now sit back and forward.

Don't rush here.

"Nice, nice"

Bearing the gaze of our expectations, Ena moves on.

Finish your second trip and wait in a state of cancer.

Plump the sweat on your nervous face, jump!

"Danger!"

Scream unexpectedly.

The angle of motion was sweet.

But Ena, who instinctively guessed it, fixed it on the way out.

Running well in a different direction, after a momentary build-up, inverted!

"Huh! I did it!?

The timing of many failures.

But all this time, it's perfect.

Ena doesn't stop, even though she usually looks surprised there aren't any attacks that are supposed to hit her body here.

Up to the demons that were so close and far away, it's already a straight line.

Check the last obstacle, over and over again, while it wasn't popped, and pull it with a practiced leap.

"Go Yikes!!

Finally, I jumped into the front of the light route.

There is no respite in time.

Push the knife into the light route's face without getting in between hours, make sure it hits your body, and push your body into the space where the light route is......

"... ah"

When the shower of light subsided, there was an intact ena.

Shut up, get close to Ena, who doesn't know what she did herself, and speak first.

- Congratulations, Ena.

I mouthed it, it was a moment.

Ena's face collapsed.

"Oops!

As the momentum had just been, Ena jumped into my chest.

"Yay! I did it! I finally did it!

"Oh. Ena did well. Good luck."

"Now, as long as you remember this, take these guys down and level..."

Ena was about to say something too, but her throat was clogged and the words didn't last.

With such a gentle effort on Ena, I say what I've been thinking.

"Well, I'll reward you for your hard work Ena"

"Oh, broom...?

Ena asks in a voice of anticipation, lying ashamed of her eyes in tears.

With a cheer for it, I continued my words.

"Well, a reward, that's an exaggeration.

I wanted to tell you what Ena always wanted to know today. "

"Me? Uh, what was it?

There was a lot going on, and he'd already forgotten.

I smiled bitterly and said the answer.

"Of course, you're up to the easy way to beat the Light Route"

"..................... Huh?

That, right after.

"Shiny Rain Avoiding it helps, but if you're going to hunt for efficiency, it's still this... Ena?

Let me demonstrate the easy must-haves from the game days (light route is involved in my own suicide bombing magic when I hit a knock-back effect magic from afar, so I also get my experience because I'm doing damage 1 on dying) using Petite Pro - John, did the thread of tension I was straining there break, and Ena collapsed on the spot and started crying.

I thought I'd say something to the unexpected reaction, but before that, Apple and Mitsuki came closer to Ena.

"... dude, dude. If you put it away, no."

"Let's give up. That's what it is."

Two people gently encourage Ena, as if she were also her best friend for a decade.

Feeling the deepening bond there, I nodded, yeah, many times.

- Thus, that day's training closed with great success.
