Seiki dropped his eyes in the pocket of the lotus robe, holding his temples with his fingers to endure the headache.

"Well, that's right! Leah is shining more beautifully than before!"

Chep with his face in his pocket looks up at Rare and shines his eyes.

Where did he make such a beautiful voice? Chep's soprano echoes beautifully in the dungeon.

Hearing Chep's voice, Leah dropped her leaves.

It's as if you've heard a pitched song.

While exhaling, Seiki swipes the screen of the board.

Then

"Is it after all ..."

Chep (0) Gender: Female

Normally, the condition that appears on the skill board is that the opponent is the same race as Haruki or a friend of Haruki.

Demon abilities cannot be seen on the skill board.

The fact that Cep's ability appears on the board means that he has become a friend of Haruki.

It's really annoying ...

Seiki wants to hold her head.

Based on Seiki's experience, a demon tree will appear on the board if the team succeeds.

Did you unconsciously name a chep?

Seiki wanted a fillet of cuts and salmon roe.

But that's not all.

As with Haruki, the aim will not succeed unless the other party asks for it.

Did Chep seek Seiki?

The possibility is hardly felt in Seiki.

Despite showing gestures worshiping Rea, Chep is not seeking Seiki.

On the other hand, Haruki continues to be seen in Chep with eyes like a beast.

If you can touch it, scream "No!"

If you don't like that, you just have to go away somewhere ...

So, did Chep connect via rare like Esta?

It also feels fine, like a subtle line.

The other day. When returning to the starting point from the Kamui Rock, Seiki somehow felt that Chep "can't be left this way".

The feeling was close to when I got connected to Rare and Esta.

In other words, when he was at Kamui Rock, Haruki may have already picked up a Cep.

What a ......

The more you think about it, the more gloomy things will spread in Seiki's chest.

Regaining attention, Seiki runs an eye on the Cep tree.

"......... Hmm !?"

After all, it was strange.

Haruki went to the middle class and got "Kago".

But Chep is "guard". It's a first time skill.

Just like Blessing, the appearance of God's name at the top of the tree shows that Blessing and Blessing may be similar skills.

So what's the difference?

The explanation of blessing is "the ability to exercise part of the power of the gods."

On the other hand, the explanation of patronage was "the ability to obtain the protection of the gods."

(Blessing is offensive, is guarding of defense?)

According to the explanation, blessing is likely to be the top skill of protection.

(If so, maybe when you came to the middle class, you might have assigned protection instead of protection ...)

It was lucky that Haruki was assigned the protection of the top skills.

Until now, Seiki has gone through a single battlefield.

Had she been guarded, not blessed, Haruki might have died sometime.

Aside from that, it is doubtful that the Cep that appeared on the land of Asahikawa, where there is no middle class, got the protection of the gods and that their protection skills are unusual.

The god who gave protection to Chep was (Unfortunately) Samikel.

It is exactly the Ainu god who defeated the evil god in Kamuikotan.

He was confident enough to say, "I can look over every corner of the country, but I have no genius."

Despite being brutally brutal and called a fool, his achievements are as good as oki walnuts.

Kamui Rock was born from an attack when defeating evil gods at Kamuikotan. It is just a god.

(Thus, Samikel has the qualities as a hero, but he has too much power to overdo it. Haruki thinks that he is a narcissistic and awkward god ...)

The first salmon harvested in Kamuikotan is the gratitude to Samikeru, who defeated the evil god that appeared in Kamuikotan.

――That is, Cep.

Chep gained the protection of Samikel because he acted following this myth.

The level of unexpected blessing and protection may rise naturally when approaching God.

What kind of action is "approaching God" should differ greatly depending on God or myth.

In one myth, "approaching God" is a metaphor for "death," so you need to be very careful when approaching God.

"..."

I was just thinking about my favorite God.

Seiki switches his head and traces the tree with his eyes.

The next thing I was worried about was Seiki.

From the skill structure, you can see that the ability is similar to the fire lotus.

Shamanic art generally refers to "occupations" that communicate with supernatural beings, but sometimes refers to "thoughts" based on supernatural phenomena.

Is it an attack type, a buff or a debuff?

You can't judge by words alone.

Later, let's make sure when you put the Cheps in battle.

But does Cep go smoothly and hear what Seiki says?

When I tried to put it into practice, I could easily imagine Seiki screaming in the pocket of the lotus, screaming, "No!"

Weapon mastery fins and fish scales are divisible by race traits.

(How did you attack with a fin?)

The biggest attraction is "princess".

It seems that the skill board is now blaspheming the word "princess".

I want to apologize to all the people and things named "Princess" in the world.

Haraki taps "Princess" while frustrated.

Princess 1 "Ability to reach destiny fleeing death"

"……So that's it"

Seiki understood (but didn't want to) in the skill description.

When a black fishman descends from the sky.

Chep was surely crushed by the fishman's feet.

It was crushed and buried in the rock.

Still, she probably lived because of her princess' skills.

The nasty guy got the nasty skills.

Is the culprit Samikeru?

I really want to protest those who give this skill.

"What the hell is this princess !?"

Is "Princess" capable of avoiding one death in one battle? Or the ability to avoid all deaths?

With the latter ability, Cep becomes a “fish that can never die / can't be killed”, so Seiki just hopes that he wants to be the former.

Finally, there is the "spirit" at the bottom of the special tree.

There is no explanation even if you tap.

And the skill level "Non" is also a mystery.

The skill level is low overall despite the sub-humans emerging from the middle class.

(So, does Spirit have the advantage of lowering the overall skill level of Cep?)

I'm worried, but it's not a point-releasing type of skill, so Haruki can't confirm the skill anymore.

It seems that there is no other way to look at this situation for a while.

The 10th floor of the Asahikawa Dungeon "Kamuikotan" is the deepest part.

Demon threats are normal, and it is not a highly difficult dungeon for trained adventurers.

However, adventurers who have never worked in this dungeon will find it more difficult than a regular dungeon.

The cause is the map.

"No use at all"

"……is not it"

Haruki and his colleagues arrived on the fourth floor, but stayed on the fifth floor despite searching for a while.

Up to the third floor, the interior is the same as a normal dungeon, but from the fourth floor, tree roots hinder the path of adventurers.

A large number of tree roots extend from the ceiling and cover the walls.

Although the road is straight, there are a number of roads that the tree roots cannot get in the way.

He goes around that path, but is interrupted by the tree roots on another path.

You can cut through the disturbing roots and proceed.

However, as soon as the root is cut off, the other roots begin to act as if they have been willing and block the road all at once.

Therefore, it is the strategy of this dungeon that roots should not be cut as much as possible.

Tree roots change from moment to moment.

The roots that had previously blocked the road may begin to move on their own, creating new roads, or moving in front of the adventurer to close the road.

Tree root movements are completely random.

If you're lucky, you can reach the 10th floor in one day, but at the moment, lotus luck hasn't been fully demonstrated.

Is the luck of the tree roots so good?

Or ... and Seiki puts his hand on his chin.

The luck of the lotus is, as it were, the power to attract invisible elements.

If such power always affects all directions, God can reach it.

It is reasonable to assume that there are some restrictions.

Depending on the distance and time until the allocation, the result obtained changes.

Or, "While luck skills are acting on one event, you can't work on another."

It is no wonder that there are so many restrictions.

So what is the luck skill of the lotus currently doing?

How can we avoid the roots of a tree with luck?

I think, but I can't tell Seiki. It is useless just to think.

In front of the roots of the tree, Seiki felt like she was going to the straw.

I want to rely on uncertain power.

-Well, is there any other way to manage the roots of the tree?

Thinking, one keyword emerged in Haruki's brain.

"Shaman power"

If it is the power to communicate with supernatural beings, it may be able to drive the roots of the tree.

"Oh, Chep. Can you manage the roots of this tree with the power of Chep?"

"Is it an ability?"

"Oh, can Cep use shamanic art?"

"Fujitsu ... what is it?"

Chep tilted his head.

There is no sign of hiding in his expression.

Does she really understand shrine art?

Or is she calling her shamanism another name?

"Cep has seen the lotus attack many times?"

"Yes. It's strange, but it's a big power."

"Can you do a cep to do something similar to this power? For example, removing the roots of a tree."

Ask Seiki to pray.

The question is,

"I can't do it."

I simply denied it.

"I am powerless. Can I only pray at best?"

In other words, just about rice.

I see, i see.

...... Dame.

Haruki made a tongue-out.

"Hah !? I felt something very rude right now!"

"It's because you care, do you hurry ahead?"

Do you have talent but can't master it, or do you recognize shamanic art by another name?

Or is there acting ability enough to mislead Seiki ...?

In the end, no information about shamanism was available.

It would have been best if Chep had the ability to avoid the roots of the tree.

Haruki renewed her mind and resumed her search for the dungeon.
