Kujonin

Episode 188

I headed south of Sekaiju with Aisle and Versa.

Because it is in the Southern Hemisphere, it gets colder as you go further south. There is no landmark in the snow scene.

"What is this idiot cold?"

Versa is angry, but she can still endure because she has sewn a patch with a magical winter magic patch on her workwear.

A monster is buried in the snow when viewed with the detection skill. Digging, the slime was frozen.

"The spread of slime is really amazing."

"It's so wide just because there are no natural enemies ..."

Ayr and Versa said while shaving the frozen slime to remove the magic stone.

"What is the natural enemy of slime?"

"It's a turtle monster. The rest is an adventurer."

"Adventure rookies usually make money with slime magic stones, because the defeated part is just gold. The adventurer's guild is also working hard."

Bersa and Ile answered my question.

"Then we need to make a loophole in the dungeon created by the demons of the earth and build an adventurer's guild in the southern hemisphere.

"I hate it, I am"

"But I was a guild official."

"That was just showing me that I was working from the backlash against my family ... I don't know why I was doing something like an examiner right now. Adventurers must go on an adventure!"

"Huh? No, what is Ayl's family doing?"

"..."

Did you not hear? Did you step on a mine?

"Isn't he telling Naoki?"

Versa seems to know.

"Because I thought I could understand without saying it, but didn't you know Naoki ... if you were really stupid?"

Isle crossed his arms and thought.

"Naoki, Aisle and I have known each other since childhood."

"Yeah, why?"

"That's why it's noble.

"Lies! Isn't it a woodcutter or a blacksmith? Oh, is it a swordsman dojo or open?"

"" ... ""

"... Eh! Really! Really noble !?"

I don't really feel the shocking facts.

"Isn't grandpa like a general in a generation of knights?"

Bersa asked Aisle.

"I think my father is probably a general nowadays."

If you say so, there is no scale of the aristocrat in the aisle.

"I'll ask you again, but you're not trying to deceive me, right?"

"If you deceive Naoki, you'll lie a little bit better. If you weren't there when you were young, you wouldn't have any contact with Versa?"

"That's ... well, I wondered if he was associated with Versa's fieldwork."

"It was dating ...

"We were laissez-faire, but Aylle's house was harsh. I decided that Aylle was being taken by me as a reason for skipping swordsmanship training."

"Our family is a bit weird. I'm training swordsmanship with my older brothers, but when I grow up, a woman tells me to marry a good noble. I want to marry someone who doesn't even know the face. I don't think there's a lot of aristocratic sons, so I thought if I ran away and became an adventurer and a guild officer and left alone, my family would give up. "

That's really such a guy.

"I'm so far away from the adults I envisioned at that time. I'm a cleaning and extermination company."

"Sure, I didn't even think I would be an office worker, because I didn't even think there was a Southern Hemisphere."

Aisle and Versa take out the slime magic stone and begin shaving the next frozen slime. It seems that he has already grasped the tips of work.

"What is Naoki?"

Bersa asked.

"Yes, I didn't say that. I didn't have a separate business. I don't know the details but I think I was a regular office worker.

"The unscrupulous guy"

"I think so"

He died before his parents and came to this world.

"Oh ... how long will this last. Slime will come out one after another."

Isle is digging snow and throwing frozen slime. Looks tired.

"It's fast to get tired. You have to go down the road."

"Isn't it all you can do with snow alone? Use a board depicting the magic of the wind"

"Oh, ok, use, use."

I take out a wooden board with a gust and blow it off like a snowplow. The drawback is that they fly to the frozen slime.

We dug out the slime as we adjusted the magic.

"Oh, you're adapting."

As we progressed far south, Versa pointed to the snowfield in front of him.

As you can see, the snowballs are rolling on the snowy field even though the wind is not blowing.

"It's snow slime."

Aisle immediately caught one. When you drop the snow, there are many snow crystals in the slime.

"I've managed to adapt by taking snow into my body and lowering my body temperature. I've heard of ice slime, but I've never heard of this evolution."

Bersa said.

Snow slime is beautiful like a snow dome. Of course, cut a little and exterminate with a desiccant.

Seen from the world tree, it has come quite south. In a snowy field with almost no undulations, Ayle was saying "I can't draw on the map."

Since it is a winter break, I will return to the world tree and head east tomorrow.

Today, I set up a tent on a snowy field and stayed overnight.

"They're resting properly."

Isle muttered while sleeping.

Surprisingly, Isle seems to be worried about his juniors as vice president.

Seth and Mermo wanted to stay with Sekaiju to make clothes and cook. Bow and Rita seem to be crossing the sea to see the dwarf settlements.

I'm not worried because all four are stronger than us.

The next day, we started eating with a flying broom.

I jumped the distance I traveled for one day yesterday.

World trees are surrounded by mountains, but the rest of the continent is almost desert.

Sand, stone, rock, sometimes air plants.

"Bersa, can this rootless plant grow anywhere?"

"Because it's rootless grass. There are places in the desert where fog can enter at night. There should be many places like that.

"I'm good"

"Wow! You stepped on it!"

I stepped on a soft, sandy black thing and suddenly screamed.

"Isn't it a shit? No one is in this place."

"So what?"

When I took off my boots and checked it, it smelled as if the asphalt had melted.

"Is it oil? It looks like tar ..."

I wiped it with a rag. When the rag was lit, it burned well, so it was probably oil or something.

"There is an oil field nearby! Can I make this area my land?"

"Isn't it nice? No one comes. What is an oil field?"

"It's a rice field that can be rich"

"What! How do you get rich !?"

"Only Naoki is bad! How do you do it?"

Both of them listened with excitement, but I don't know how to get rich.

"I'll do it with fuel. And plastic ... fleece ..."

"So, how do you do that !?"

"... I know."

"" I don't know! "

In the world before, you're just a cleaning and extermination company, so you don't know how to make plastic-like materials from oil.

"Then you can't be rich!"

"That's right. Even with fuel, there are magic and magic stones in this world, and you don't have to use oil."

A large amount of black slime wrigged down the valley as I fell down the sand hill. The slime seems to have adapted and evolved in the oil field. It was a bit uncomfortable to see the black, soft ball moving like a pulse.

All of them were so horrible that they all flew to the sky with a flying broom.

"What a curse!"

Isle shook his sword, but the black slime seemed to resist slashing and did not die.

"I think it'll burn if you light it, but it seems like it can be used for something, as Naoki says.

Versa gets confirmation.

"Reserve. Let's catch one and put the contents in a barrel."

Although the smell was intense, he caught one at the wall of magic and stabbed it with a sword, and transferred the thick black liquid inside the barrel. I guess I just stepped on it. A fist-sized magic stone was left behind.

"Slime is too adapted everywhere. What kind of monster is it?"

"That's considered the greatest mystery in monasticology."

Although it is a demon that everyone knows, it seems that the factors that cause it and the process of evolution have not been elucidated.

After that, they took about 10 days to get to the eastern edge, removing slime in the desert.

Checking from the sky, there were several islands in the northeast, so let's go when the flowers of the world tree bloom and settle down.

It was a winter vacation, but I didn't feel like I was taking a break because of the high encounter rate with slime.

Is it all right if Ayr drew a map and Bersa could collect air plants?

When I returned to the world tree, the shape of the bud was beginning to be clearly visible at the tip of the branch. One bud is about half my body. I don't know how big it will be, but the blizzard of the world tree may turn into a hell picture.

From now on, the work to feed the luminous slimes with seed dumplings is awaiting until spring. You have to be prepared before it suddenly gets warm and flies. We also need individuals that remain in the world tree, so we need to increase the number. You just need to spray and water like a cave slime.

At the base, together with Bow and Rita who have returned from the dwarven settlement, they will make a table about their future plans while eating a sweet potato cake that Seth studied.

"This potato mochi is delicious!"

"I like the walnut-like fruit inside."

I almost got the impression of potato mochi.

There is no need to check the dried seed dumplings because they are only coated with the cave slime mucus and fed by the luminescent slime.

"The southern hemisphere has slime."

"Because Naoki makes a strange proposal to the evil god."

Aisle's words cannot be refuted.

"Zaza ... Komuro ... Com ..."

Suddenly, I heard God's voice from my communication bag.

"God? Something for you?"

Responds while pouring a large amount of magic into the communication bag. I left the base because it was a bit dangerous.

At the border between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, there is a wall created by the spirits of the space.

"Oh? Oh! Comlo, it's been a long time! Where are you now? 』

"I'm currently growing the world in the Southern Hemisphere."

"Why are you doing that? 』

"No, it's an evil god's request. Did God hear you at the site of the church in Flora, right?"

"Well, why? What is the request of the evil god?

"No, I'm spreading the magic of the southern hemisphere. And it's full of deserts so I can live well. The dwarves have survived so well.

"That's right. I was surprised because it suddenly disappeared. So when will you return to the Northern Hemisphere? 』

I don't know when ...

"For now, I want to see the flowers of the world tree bloom and the magical elements spread with the seeds of the plants, and I'm looking forward to seeing them for the next year or so."

"Eh, it's pretty hard here too."

"That's something God should do. It'll take some time since the Southern Hemisphere starts from scratch."

"Evil God is really stupid. Well, can I just know where Komulo is? If the world tree blooms, let me know ...

Are you coming to see me? Because evil gods can move between the northern and southern hemispheres, so can God. It may be burning because it may cross the atmosphere. Anything is fine, but troublesome.

"I see. It's a bit of magic, so I'll cut it again!"

"Yes. Baibiki ...

I cut off the communication bag without listening to the end.

Even though we talked a little, both magic and mental power were considerably reduced.

"It's from God. When the flowers of the world tree bloom, they come to see the flowers."

When I reported to everyone at the base, everyone was in a hurry. I told him to calm down and be normal because there was nothing special in the time of the evil god.
