The wind that blows down from the mountains carries the smoke escaping from the smoke-type trap, back and forth.

When the smoke clears and you look closely, you'll find that little rat or beetle monsters are paralyzed in the water that's pooled in the leaves of a bathtub.

Maybe the surface of the world tree is still a gentle world.

Such faint expectations shattered with sunrise.

The leaves of giant world trees and the vegetation growing on the world trees grow in search of the sunshine. The foliage spreads up and down like a tentacle while shaving the mountain surface, searching for the sunshine. When I thought that only these kinds of plants might survive, a cold thing ran on my back.

We were looking down at the leaves, and suddenly we were under a sunbeam.

Botobotobotto!

The wind shakes the shiny leaves and the pool of water falls on us. There are some paralyzed monsters in the pool of water, so if there were no walls of magic, the skull would have collapsed.

Versa successfully cushioned a wall of magic, such as a slime, to catch and observe the falling beetle monster.

"It looks like a normal beetle monster is just gigantic, but it's big enough to see through the gemstone on the belly.

He began to explain while turning the beetle monster upside down and showing his abdomen. In fact, on the belly of the white bellows, vermilion stones are slightly visible.

"You may have some special skills. I don't think it's inconvenient if there's a wall of magic."

Versa seems to regret putting a beetle monster on a nearby leaf and running away. After entering the world tree, you may notice what you need.

"Well, if you can reproduce scalpels and tweezers by magical operation ..."

Zang!

Aisle, who was watching behind him, used a magic operation to fly a magical sword and cut off the beetle's head.

"I can demolish it."

"Okay, put the carcass in the item bag."

Bersa was instructing Ayr.

"Wait a moment, wait! Wait!"

"Why aren't the world monsters not dead even if they're cut off?"

Isle looks at me with her eyebrows.

"If you look at your detection skills, you're definitely dead because it's completely gray! No, but what if the virus or tiny monster on this beetle monster has poison? "

"Then, why don't Naoki wrap the corpse on the wall of magic and clean up inside?"

As Versa says, wrap a beetle monster carcass in a wall of magic and clean it up. Looking again at the carcass, you can't even see the slightest monster that was slightly visible with your detection skills.

"I'm glad that my magical sword was able to pass through. I'm going to be able to investigate the demons of the World Tree!"

“I'm glad I did the cleaning business.

With the dead beetle monster wrapped in the wall of magic power, I took it into my magic wall and put it in an item bag, like a little soap bubble going inside a big soap bubble.

"I was just observing the plants of the world tree, and was just thinking of collecting some poisonous plants."

Melmo is pulling a little.

"I thought so, but I guess this would happen. Can I do something I just came up with?"

I wrapped a fallen little mouse monster in a wall of magic like a beetle monster. Because it is paralyzed, the monsters do not move at all, and they are just breathing. I cleaned up the wall of magic with a cleanup and tried to imagine the vacuum state by changing the properties of magic.

In an instant, the wall of magic turned into a squash, like a futon compression bag. A small rat monster pressed against the wall of magical power suffocates in it.

I put a little mouse monster in the item bag, just as I did for a beetle monster. Even though I was able to do what I imagined, I felt that I was acting strangely.

"" "..." "

Three people are looking at me with cold eyes.

"... I'm not dangerous !?"

"I feel sick! What is it!"

"The movement was really smooth!"

"President! He looks like a man! He is nobody!"

As a person, he seems to have acquired some special skills.

"That's why the demons did the secrets.

This is a terrible skill that can easily kill people and monsters. You have to be careful.

"Let's get back and proceed. The sun has just come, but if the branches and leaves are so far out, the lower part may be dark, so be ready with magic stone lights."

World trees are located in depressions surrounded by mountains. The leaves and foliage grow on the mountainous terrain while shaving, so it is unlikely that sunlight will reach the roots.

Head down, avoiding the branches and leaves little by little.

A mysterious sight was spreading down a mountain hill while flipping over the overlapping leaves and pushing off the branches.

"President! There is a forest under a tree!"

Melmo was surprised but worried about her surroundings and shouted.

Certainly, unless we were hallucinated, there was a forest under the world tree.

You can see the trunk of the world tree in the distance, but in front of it are dense trees of various types. Each tree has a different leaf color. In addition to green, many are withered or originally colored, purple, red, or yellow.

On the tree, monkey monsters are eaten by large insect monsters, screaming screams. The sound of a large monster running through the forest passed by.

The way we look at the scenery under the world tree, which is supposed to be out of sunlight, is that there are countless round luminous bodies that float fluffy between the leaves and the forest of the world tree.

Like moss hanging from the leaves of the world tree, it also emits white light.

"Is that a slime?"

Versa pointed at a round, luminous body that fluffed.

"I guess it has evolved to eat that luminous moss-like thing, and has become able to float in the air. You see, behind the leaves of the world tree, isn't it?"

Looking at what Bersa pointed to, he certainly stuck behind the leaves. There are countless round, transparent insect eggs clinging to it, and people with collective phobia are likely to faint.

Things like round eggs leave the branches and leaves all at once after eating moss and begin to float in the air in search of moss that emits light again.

If you look at your detection skills, everything that looks like a round egg is a monster, and Versa's theory of slime may have hit it.

"Look! There's smoke going up!"

Looking at the one pointed by Aisle, smoke is rising from a distant yellow tree.

However, if you look closely at the smoke, it looks like a group of small white spheres. Is it a slime juvenile? But isn't slime splitting and increasing?

"That's Thin Memories."

Bersa replied.

"what is that?"

"It's like an egg of a demon. It is said that people's regrets and guilt are half-embodied in the mix with their magical powers. It's going to be a monster of the system, maybe there's a tomb of the dwarves who lived here. "

Is it an orb that appears in psychic photos? In the previous world it was said that it was moisture and dust, but is there really in this world?

"Huh? Does this world look like a ghost normally?"

"What? Naoki has exterminated ghost demons and what are they talking about now?"

I was convinced by the Isle that I was convinced that it was so.

Anyway, Thin Memories seems to be different from luminous slime.

Once again we went down the mountain, slashed shrubs and grass, and made our way into the forest.

Although the forest was calm down, there were many monsters in the detection skills, and it seemed that we were staring at us suddenly entering the forest.

Bertha's name, Luminous Slime, floats everywhere in the forest, revealing hidden monsters. At the edge of the forest, such as the monsters of black leopards, monsters imitating trees, mushroom monsters of adult height, and a group of small insect monsters, the edge of the forest is in a depressed atmosphere that fights with a large dragonfly monster Could not be seen.

"It's dangerous! Please fly everyone!"

Melmo noticed quickly and jumped up with a flying broom.

I couldn't understand, and when I flew anyway, I saw a small ant monster beneath the wall of magic. When I saw it just before, I wasn't around when I saw it, so I seemed to be able to shorten my distance in an instant.

Like a ladder with their bodies from the ground, the herd of ants still follow us. In addition, the movement in the flock was quite fast, and I was almost overtaken if I didn't really escape.

In addition, despite flying quite fast, the ant monsters attached to the wall of magic were not shaken off.

"These guys are trying to break through the wall of magic directly! Put another piece inside!"

At Aisle's direction, we rebuilt another magic wall inside and broke the outside magic wall, and the ant monster finally fell.

"It's a great enemy."

The moment Moe breathed, he began to hear humming from afar. Immediately, I developed and confirmed my detection skills.

"From the front, a hornet monster that seems to be a Vespa Hornet is coming at great speed! Everyone evacuates!"

As we flew, we immediately descended on a mountain hill and hid behind a shrub.

The flock of Vespa Hornets instantly defeated the black leopard monster hiding in the forest and left as a meat dumpling. It's not as fast or ferocious as the Vespa Hornet I've seen in Covenia before.

We hid still and talked nothing until the noise stopped.

"It's been a long time. Let's go back to the base."

She intended to do everything she could, but she rarely used poisons or traps.

There are many points to reflect on.

"It's a harvest just to know that there is a forest under the world tree."

"Yeah, Sekaiju has a lot of magic, so it didn't consume that much magic, wasn't it good?"

As Bersa and Ile said, there was a lot of harvest.

"I've also found the president's perfect killer technique."

It was. The futon compression bag, reproduced with magic, must be able to be used properly.

After half the reflection and half the harvest, we completed our first "world tree" survey and returned to our base.

On the branches of the world tree, the sun had already begun to fall, and Bow and Rita were descending the mountain.

Raise your hands and tell them you are safe, join and have lunch at the base.

"How was?"

Rita asked.

"It was amazing"

"What's amazing is that there's a forest under the world tree ..."

Melmo got excited and started explaining.

When the explanation was over, both Rita and Bow said, "I have no idea unless you look at it."

We went to Sekaiju and went to bed.

I woke up in the evening.

When I got up, I drank the tea that Rita brewed, and when I was calm, I realized that there was no Isle and Versa.

"Aisle and Versa?"

"I got up a little while ago and went out. It seemed that I couldn't sleep well with excitement."

Aisle and Versa seem to be taking the bow and heading towards the ridge when viewed with their detection skills.

"Excited?"

Certainly, everyone is thrilled to see scenery that no one has ever seen in a life and death situation.

I feel like I get higher than usual.

"I'm hitting a bit cold wind too."

I left the base and headed for the peak with the Isles.

"Oh, have you got up? Look at it. The night is coming to Sekaiju. Fuha."

Bow noticed that I was approaching.

Standing next to Bow and looking at the World Tree, the mountains blocked the sunset and the shadows spread.

"Look! As soon as the sun is gone, a tree ..."

The trees that have grown in the morning sun have withered or withered.

"Is this change in a day ..."

Aisle is also surprised at the scenery unique to World Tree.

I felt that the light of the luminous slime was faintly visible from the shadowed world tree. What is going on in the forest under the world tree these days? I have to make a base in the forest someday. You can see my curiosity inside me getting bigger.

"Fuha, the summit is amazing."

Looking back in Bow's words, the mountaintop seemed to shine golden in the setting sun.

We didn't say anything until the sun set, and looked at the view from there.
