Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 248 ~ I didn't pick it up ~
Long goat beard on plush hair, long raw robe with sleeves and hem, swollen wooden cane on the tip.I don't know, you're a cactus grandpa.
No, because my hair and beard are green, don't you still look like a cactus?After all, it has to be gray hair and gray beard.It can be bald or turtle armor.
"Um, Grandpa can do 'dry ad', right?"
"Hmm, that's right. The appearance of the tree" Kokan ", which has lived in this dark forest for 400 years."
Dry ado is an aged tree sperm.It is also said to be a monster tree.It's like a god of mourning.Normally it seems to be a strange female type, but this time it is a rare male type. And Grandpa.
Black citrus is a very sour citrus that is often used in cooking.The fruit is green for a while, but when it ripens, it becomes black like avocado, so it is called black citrus.
I often squeeze the fruit into green and use it for cooking, but when it ripens black, there is a little sweetness and tannin in the acidity, which makes it taste like grapefruit.
It is grown in the city and in the fields, but there are also wild species growing in the woods.I wonder if this grandpa is a dry-ado of these wild species.
"From a human point of view, you are a monster, but you are a harmless grandfather who lives quietly in the forest.Could you please give me a break from cutting? "
Dry ads in this world are slightly different from those of previous fantasies.
Previously on Fantasy Dry Ads, it was a terrifying monster to confuse a man in the appearance of a mysterious woman and take in and nourish him.Sometimes it appeared as a naughty monster.
On the other hand, the world's dry-ads are monsters of a relatively large nature whose trees store magic elements and acquire intelligence and appearance.It's not seductive or lewd.
However, since it seems that insectivorous plant-type dry-ads can be caught and killed by delusion, it cannot be said that all dry-ads are huge.Some are good and some are bad.Same as everybody else.
If this grandfather is a black citrus sperm, it would be true that he is harmless.Black citrus is not an appetizing plant.
But I still have a few questions.
"It's true that the Dark Forest is a demon, but it's not as thick as a dry ad, is it?Why did Grandpa become a dry ado? "
Dry ads are botanical golems and dungeons, to say the least.It occurs naturally in a very dark area of the magic element.There can be no reason for it to occur in a dark forest with less magic.
"That's because I'm not a black citrus tree.Monsters and demons gather for the eagle fruit, but carnivorous monsters gather for it.Because monsters don't even eat magic stones.There are a lot of magic stones left behind around the eagle.The magic just got stronger around me. "
Well, that makes sense. I don't think I've grown up by taking in people and monsters.Then I nod that it is harmless.
But it's dangerous to trust just words.If we don't actually look at the scene, we don't know if it's true.Distraction in the demonic world is fatal.
"Hmm. But for now, I'd like to see Grandpa's body.Then we'll talk about it. "
"Mmm, that's right. Let me show you around."
After Grandpa turned his heel back, me and Wu followed him.Well, I don't need to be guided, but I know where it is with signs.
Growing in the woods, it is so gloomy that you can't even see the ground.Without shaking the leaves, Grandpa walks through such shrubs and grass.I don't think there is any substance.
Me and Wu are scraping the shrubs and the weeds apart.It's faster and easier to fly in space on a plane, but Wu and the others prefer to scratch the grass and run.
It's hard to get fruit and dead leaves from grass tangled with hair, but it's also a pet's job to play.You can think of it as the owner's pleasure to struggle later.
"Let me show you the strength of your Lord.I guess I can handle it as much as I can.So I came out to beg for mercy without shame or audience.Because grass and trees can only endure all the time.I'll lower my head as much as I can if I can survive. "
"Did you see that? I just prevented you from fighting the boar monster earlier.Did you think I was strong just because of that? "
"I have children and grandchildren in this forest and in the city.Your consciousness is connected to that child and grandchild.So, I've known you for a long time, Lord "Head Hunting Rat."
What!? A monster fixed point camera? That's amazing.
And it's been a long time since you've heard that two names.Now that you're lord, you can only be called lord or lord.I don't really like two names, but I feel a little lonely when I don't get called.Me, too.
"Ah! So there were children and grandchildren in the tree I fell today?"
"It can't be helped. It is also the fate of what was born into the grass and trees. But if you can resist it, you must also resist it.That is the nature of the living.Fortunately, this is how I can talk to you.That's why I'm begging for my life. "
Grandpa shook his head.
"I'm sorry if you were here."
"I don't mind, but I'd appreciate it if you could make the most of it.Here we are. "
That's how Grandpa pointed to a big black citrus tree over ten meters tall.Glossy, dark green leaves shine in the sunset.
Even though it is early summer, there are already many black fruits hanging at the tip of the branch.You're ripe. Some branches are blooming, while others have small green fruits.
It's a monster tree.Maybe it's not as fruitful as the season.If the fruit can be harvested all year round, it is convincing that monsters will gather.
The area around the tree is a little cleared.The grass just grows.Citrus leaves are thick, so it's hard for other plants to grow without the sun.
Looking at the ground, I see that bird feathers, beast hair, and bones are mixed and magic stone fragments are falling.I don't seem to be lying about what Grandpa said.
Ah, the Maddislime is in some kind of carcass.They didn't get away in response to my magic flash van.I don't think so.
I thought there weren't many fallen leaves, but the slime used it as a feeding ground.That means the water field is also nearby.
And the black citrus shall bear fruit, and the herbivorous and the omnivorous monster shall eat it, and the carnivorous monster shall eat it, and the carcass of the monster shall be returned to the earth by Maddislime, and the black citrus shall bear fruit to nourish it.Looks like this is one ecosystem.
Well, it's not my last life, so you can't just cut through it.This world has its own laws and ecosystems.Ignoring it and pioneering it will not work.We have to take it in.
Especially Maddislime and paper trees. These two are indispensable to life on the border.
I hope Maddislime will come soon, but we need to plant more paper trees.It takes time to grow from seeds, so it's better to transplant natural trees that grow in the forest.You can't cut everything off.
The same goes for black citrus. Citrus trees are slow to grow, such as "Three Years of Peach Chestnut Persimmon and Eighteen Years of Yuzu Big Fool."They say it can actually be harvested in three or four years from seed, but it doesn't taste good.It seems not uncommon for it to take more than a decade to get delicious fruit.If you already have a tree growing, you should plant it and grow it.You can quickly eat delicious fruit.
"Okay, Grandpa's tree won't fall.Plus, grandpa's kids won't cut any more.I'll do something about it. "
"Oh, really!? Thank you!"
"Yeah, it's good for us too.So, do you have any dry ads in the woods other than Grandpa?I want you to tell me if you're here. "
"No, not as far as I know.If we go deeper, we'll be there. If we go deeper, they won't get along. "
"What do you mean?"
"Because I don't know anybody.There are only monsters and demons around.I don't know what people look like or what they say.I have a child in my family. "
I see.
Sure, if you don't have contact with people, you don't have to look like them.Rather, you should look like a goblin or pig (oak) around you.
A weird old female pig-shaped dry ad... don't be afraid of the other world!
It seems that Grandpa doesn't really care what happens to him or his descendants.Rather, it would be better if other trees and grasses were gone to monopolize nutrition and sunshine.Nature's toughness.
As a result, the trees of Grandpa Oki remained intact and the children were to be replanted at the tip of the sunny patch.The same goes for the paper trees found in the woods.Other trees and grasses are felled.
It's going to be a new town, so you'll want to have some landmark trees.Castle in King's Landing, black citrus trees in Dolton.Yeah, that's good, right?
◇
"Oh, that's a black citrus tree.Do you plant it in the garden? "
"Yeah, it was in the woods.When planted in a new mansion, you can always eat fresh black citrus, right? "
I brought back a young tree of black citrus, along with a monster of boar.Of course, it's that grandpa's kid.He's short, but he seems to be over a decade old.The flowers are already blooming, so you'll be able to pick delicious fruit in late fall.
"Oh, thank you. I often use it for cooking."
"Sounds like juice can be used for dyeing too!Atai, I'll ask you how to use it in the workshop! "
"... I'll take care of you."
"Uh-oh, it's nice to squeeze it into a fish, but I don't like that splashing juice."
Except for some, it's generally favorable.
Well, I'm not picking up monsters again, huh?
Kukuku. How about that, Kikka?
