Let's Manage The Tower

(3) Collaboration

Friend Monkey is a monkey that lives on the 43rd floor of the Amamiya Tower.

Individual combat abilities are not so high, but they are classified as intermediate ranks due to their high ability to collaborate with peers.

Nevertheless, my friend Monkey is not very capable of fighting in the first place.

It is only known that cooperation has increased.

The problem is that Monkey's friends aren't the only ones who work together.

For example, Hale Rat, whom Lik is dealing with now, was also attacking in collaboration with his friend Monkey.

Yes, Friend Monkey is one of the few monsters to associate with other species.

When this species was first found, it was misunderstood as occurring as a leader species.

However, it has now been confirmed that Friend Monkey is born with the ability to collaborate with other types of monsters.

As a result of being able to collaborate with monsters of other species, Friend Monkey is able to conduct a variety of raids.

Additionally, magical objects can be created to trouble Friends Monkey.

A magical friend monkey was initially counted as another top species, but years of observations concluded that it was not.

However, it is said that some individuals who can use magic appear as individuals who learn magic in the same way as human species and others who do not.

I don't know if it's as authentic as it is, but at least if my friend Monkey cares about it (?) It was a monster that could learn magic.

It was this Friend Monkey who was chosen to compete in the rank-up exams for the Licks.

Having managed to defeat Hale Rat, Lik headed for his friend Monkey, who was giving instructions immediately.

"... uhhh!?

However, he was able to escape at once, and soon he was reunited with his friends.

The fact that there are strong enemies on the boulder means that now Lik does not ask how the auxiliaries are doing.

Rik, who was run over by his friend Monkey, waited for his friends while watching his surroundings.

Looking at the results alone, no one is seriously injured among us, and we have succeeded in reducing the number of monsters.

But my dear friend Monkey couldn't defeat a single one.

Lik, who once rendezvoused with his companions while checking the surroundings, was spoken to by one of them.

"What do we do? Do you want to pull back and get back on your feet?

In response to the inquiry, Lik immediately shook his head.

I made that decision if anyone was seriously injured, but only minor injuries so far.

Now that we have fewer monsters with friends Monkey, we decided that we should launch more attacks.

"No, let's just keep going. But be careful not to be pulled away this time."

Copy that.

Earlier, I had to deal with my friend Monkey individually.

However, the goal was to maintain a certain distance so that this side could cooperate.

They all nodded and headed back to Friend Monkey.

The examiners were observing the situation of the Likuds a little further away.

Failure to keep a certain distance will affect the hunting of the Recruits.

In that context, Lukich, who was in charge of the defamation, was very active.

I was using too much of my abilities to gauge the detailed battle situation from a distance.

"They're hard to do. At first, I knew what would happen, but I got it back together.

"Huh? Did you deal with it calmly even if it split up?"

Gazelan was somewhat impressed by Lukech's words.

It's very common for a party to be disrupted by a coordinated attack by a friend Monkey.

Friend Monkey comes out in the forest in the first place, so the grass is completely on the other side.

On top of that, they usually launch pre-emptive attacks, so it's no trouble.

It is the norm that parties that struggle to deal with Friends Monkey often collapse after they are separated without being able to deal with them calmly.

Even though I know it in my head, it is a party that rushes when the familiar measures are broken.

Those who can go up can deal with them calmly, even if they are broken from their normal state.

From that point of view, we can say that the Riks have done enough.

As a matter of fact, it seems that at this point in time we will be able to pass or fail the exam.

The material collected is only an additional element.

In the meantime, the examiner mixed up with the story in a relaxed tone.

"I think I can handle my friends Monkey, but do you realize who's approaching?

The words of the examiner were blank for a moment.

"What...?!? Damn, I'm dull too."

Did you finally notice that Lukech turned his gaze away from the Rikki?

Gazelan, who understood the situation in the conversation between the two, looked at them with a close eye.

"I still can't see, but is something coming?

"Ah... this is trouble again. The Red Wolf herd."

After listening to Lukech's words that identified the monster, Gazelan narrowed his eyes.

"I see, it certainly is a hassle.... do you want to intervene?

It is also said that the combination of Friend Monkey and Red Wolf is sometimes comparable to advanced classes.

It was Gazelan who thought the load was heavy on the boulder, but Kaiseki shook his neck to the left and right.

"I'm still fine. And Lik seems to have noticed Redwolf."

That's what Kaiseki said, and now we're going to look at the Rikus.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

As Kaiseki guessed, Lik was already aware that Red Wolf was approaching.

In addition, if Red Wolf and Friend Monkey meet, they will be in a very unfavourable situation even if they don't say they will lose.

Rik, who was able to confirm the situation, immediately decided.

"We're leaving now! Bring me what I've just hunted."

I gave instructions and cut off the tail of my defeated friend Monkey and started moving.

Lik's words prompted his friends to attack another friend, Monkey.

I barely have two friends monkeys I've hunted so far, and I leave the place immediately.

If the action had been slightly delayed, it would have undoubtedly been embarrassing to join Red Wolf.

However, because Lik's instructions were quick, it didn't mean that Red Wolf suddenly attacked him from the side.

Lick and his friends then left the scene, listening to Monkey's regrettable voice.

Afterwards, they defeated Red Wolf individually, who chased away the Likuds.

If Red Wolf doesn't even work with his friends Monkey, we can handle it with our strength.

When I managed to defeat Red Wolf, unfortunately, there was no friend Monkey in the original location.

The amount of Red Wolf defeated before they arrived was not enough, so the Liks finally managed to find their friends Monkey's herd again and finally crush the designated number.
