Episode 166

"Isn't it just slime?"

When I returned to my hometown, I explained to everyone that I was amazed.

"Maybe some demons don't need magic elements."

"What is it?"

"really!?"

Everyone was excited by Versa's report.

"Where do you go, the spirits of the space are fired, connecting the northern and southern hemispheres?"

"That's right. That means ... you have to prepare the environment."

Ayl told me that he needed to think about this star from a large perspective and for a long time.

wait a minute! What does the absence of plants mean about oxygen in the Southern Hemisphere? Even if the evil god destroyed everything, there should be only ordinary volcanoes and submarine volcanoes. We breathe normally, but ...

"Are we breathing? Did you know I was actually dead and a ghost, something like that didn't happen?"

"Oh! The president is saying something we don't understand again!"

"Don't look!"

Versa hid Seth's eyes.

"Well, I'm alive, good. Let's think later."

That's it! Anyway we have to survive. It doesn't seem obvious if you think about the amount of oxygen in the southern hemisphere anyway, and in the first place the gas could pass through the walls created by the spirits of the space. It may be better to go to the wall created by the spirit of the space that is at the equator, but if the clouds couldn't get through the wall, it would be tough.

But, aside from that, food matters more. The dishes that come out become less and more frugal.

It is necessary to make a field as soon as possible. The fertilizers are their own dung, because the aquatic plants are just planted in the pond. Mix it with the soil around the pond and carefully create a field.

"Oh!"

The work is tough, but someone has to do it.

Seeds of potatoes resembling potatoes are made into seed potatoes, and corn-like seeds are also scattered. All use Versa research material, so I have to thank.

"Thanks to me. You can praise me more."

Versa stood out a small breast.

"Bersa-sama, let's lick your feet?"

When I returned it with a pervert, I was trembling, "Wow, oh! It sounds really bad.

Since then, Bersa hasn't been thrilled, but it has become a habit to say, "Thanks to me." Usually, she says "yes", but when she gets hungry, she says, "Get out! Konoyaro!"

"Hi ~ hihihi, please be patient ~ I won't say anymore ~!"

The juniors are laughing as Bersa screams while laughing. Of course, I'm not licking Bertha's feet, but tickling the soles. No way, I didn't expect to tickle the soles of adults this year.

When we have less food and we are hungry, our relationships get nervous, but we're doing this silly thing.

The rest is Rita's song.

Rita sang humming before going to bed, but she is very good, probably because of the blood of the people of Hoshiei. Now, after finishing dinner, everyone requests.

"Because it was a flower seller, my mother taught me a lot of flower songs."

Remi's education is wonderful!

Listening to Rita's song, I was able to sleep even though I was not full.

When you get up in the morning and finish your work in the fields, get rid of the slime. Already tired of the extermination work, I tried including a slime corpse in my mouth. It wasn't bad. My tongue was numb for about half a day and my taste became strange.

However, he noticed that the remains of the slime contained a lot of water, and tried to mix it with dry soil to see if it could be used for field soil. He recovered the seeds he had thrown away and buried it in the soil containing the slime. I don't know what will happen, but if I grow up, I make money.

Around a week after the cultivation and slime removal, buremo and chocolate sprout emerged from a field near the pond.

"Oh!"

"When the sprout comes out, the tension will inevitably rise."

Versa and Rita have a high touch.

The number of ponds is increasing steadily. With tremendous fertility, it has already begun to cover the pond. Versa was wondering if something like a Great Plains fishpond would be possible.

I and Ayle encountered a gray, cloudy individual while exterminating the slime.

"It's a bit hard"

The gray slime has a slightly harder surface film than ordinary slime, and the desiccant does not work effectively. Using a knife or sword, the film was broken and sprinkled with desiccant.

"It's troublesome to get rid of this slime. What is it?"

The mountain was visible to the west, and smoke was rising from near the summit, so it probably absorbed the erupted volcanic ash.

"I see!"

I was surprised when I spoke.

"The presence of such slime may have different characteristics depending on the location."

"Yeah. Poisonous slime makes it hard to pick up magic stones."

Ayr, while thinking of the work ahead, had a bitter face and sworded the slime's remains with his sword.

"The body of this slime is very hard. Can it be used for building materials?"

Aisle said, piercing. Certainly, the remains of the gray slime are cement-like.

"Yeah, maybe you can use it ... ah!

"What happened? And what did you come up with?"

"Isle, look at this scenery, and if you were the lord of this place, where would you build a town?"

I looked at the Isle while spreading my hand.

“Hello?

"Think of it as a place of vegetation, not a wasteland."

"Hmm ..."

Isle thought seriously.

"But it's a lot of rocky and it's hard to make local products, so do you make it on the other side of the mountain? Doesn't it look like the way to Marina Port?"

"Oh! Sure!"

Marinaport was the port town where Versa lived, near the volcano.

"But why do you hear that?"

"No, I wonder if there are any traces of the town buried in pyroclastic flows or volcanic ash. I don't think there is food, but there may be pots and kilns, or even bricks." `` I'm going to look under the ground with my skills. ''

"I see. Okay, let's search while removing slime!"

Isle rushed into the swarm of slime.

From that day, the search for towns under the ground began with slime removal.

"Sure, that helps! But don't come up with that often. Fuha."

At night, he returned to his hometown and explained to Bow, he was laughing.

"There was such a place in the world before."

"Oh, yeah! Naoki was a different world. Fuhaha."

Laughing, Bow received the corpse of the gray slime and said, "This is going to work."

If you find a town below the ground, you may want to make it a sub-base. The place to get rid of the slime has become far from home.

Gray slimes have increased as we approached the volcano, but we continue to exterminate as ever.

"Naoki?"

"What happened?"

I heard the slime smoke as the Isle melted.

"How far should the level be raised ..."

"Well, why do you hear that?"

"It's Melmo. I just don't like the level going up."

Currently, Seth does not come near the volcano because he is helping the field, but he and I are in charge of exterminating slime. Mermo does not participate in slime control because he is in charge of food and fields. Therefore, there is no opportunity to advance.

Seth and Melmo are synchronized, so they have rivals.

"Well, sometimes bring me melmo ..."

"Yes, that's right. I'm over the level 100, but I'm starting to think about what to do in the future ... I'm so strong that I don't know what I want to do."

The Southern Hemisphere seems to make people philosophers.

"If you are strong enough to be satisfied, why not?"

"Hmmmm ..."

It seems that philosophers are not satisfied with satisfaction alone.

"What if you look at different skills?"

"That's right. Isn't it possible to have the same skills as other employees?"

Philosophers are often troublesome to deal with.

"When I first met Aisle, she said she wanted to know about my strength, do you know that now?"

"Yes, well ... I know that Naoki isn't fighting with simple strength or attack. I think he's the farthest from chivalry."

I'm an exterminator, not a knight.

"Why is Naoki still leveling up?"

"I don't want to go up another level. I'm extermination is a job, I'm just extermination. It's a job, work."

"Work?"

It seems that philosophers are not convinced even at work. I'm afraid I'm not going to use it when I get paid, and it may be hard to find a job worthwhile.

"Did you ever say that this world is similar to the game you played in the previous world?"

"I guess he said"

"I don't really know what the game is, but I'll work together with my friends to defeat the demon boss that will lead the world to ruin.

"Hey"

"So, there is a limit to the level increase, and when it reaches the limit, I only have to look for all the items and acquire all the skills, and when I finish that, I really do not do anything anymore. When I talk to the villagers, I get the same answer. ''

"Well, what do you do?"

"It's just vain. You have to stop the game."

"I have to get out of the game! So, in this world, you die?"

Isle looked at me.

"No, if you talk to the inhabitants of this world, you will get a different answer, and monsters can change and evolve like this gray slime? Do you know what it is made of? "

"The ground? Not the soil? Rock?"

"Is it harder than soil? And hey!"

I hit the ground and cracked. I showed Aisle a piece of the ground that was broken.

"Maybe this is a rock that cools and hardens as magma flows from that volcano."

"Huh, I see. I understand."

"Is it dark or basalt? There's a lot of other things that are gray like andesite. Yeah. "

"What is that noisy song !?"

"I've forgotten. The names of the rocks are quite a lot. In this world there may be more than in the previous world. There are volcanoes so this continent is moving by plate tectonics. Or you can expect it, but you don't know unless you look it up? "

"What's a plate? What's up! Now! Don't say anything you don't know when you're alone!

Our philosopher began to get angry.

"In other words, you know so much. If you have curiosity, or if you have the adventurous attitude of what's going on beyond that volcano, it's pretty interesting anywhere in the world. "

"It's over that volcano."

Ayr said, sprinting and running up in the air to the sky.

Tontsu.

Aisle has returned from the sky to the ground beside me.

"There was a lake or sea beyond that volcano."

"Then let's go to see if it's a lake or the sea, because there may still be something we don't know."

"Yup"

We aimed at the other side of the volcano, eliminating gray slime.

"Is it? Is it a map?"

"Map? Why?"

"I can see the surrounding terrain from the sky, so I'm facing. If there is a map, it's convenient when I come here again?"

"Oh, yes. Think about it!"

Isle nodded several times. Did this convince my philosopher?

It was the evening of the same day that I found a trace of the town under the ground across the volcano.
