My First Trip was to Another World

He hurried through the arid zone, which had dried to Karakara, and began his exploration in a slightly damp area.

It's still a dry wilderness, but the place I was earlier was so dry that it was near the desert that it's relatively better, too dry to use magic to get water out. For this reason, he decided it was dangerous to stay longer.

If there's a ruin in this dry zone, it's out, but it's close to the city of Milgia, so if there is, it's already been discovered. That's why I'm not exploring it.

Then over the course of a few days I looked for traces of elves while tenting all over the place, but I had nothing to gain.

The map of the area has been filled, so I think I'll go further east. The current location moved quite south. Probably about east of central Mirzia.

"I've checked all around here. I guess I've had enough. Let's go more east."

"Yes."

Leeds leads the way and goes east at once.

Slime chased aggressively, but all the big demons went through. It's a waste of a lot because I can't sell it.

Moving east from the drylands, more and more plants were growing. The ground also seems to contain a lot of moisture.

I think the season is probably autumn, but it's very hot and humid. Maybe there are no seasons around here.

"The sound of water! Mr. Kon, there's a river!

At the lead of Leeds, head to where the water sounds. It doesn't sound like me at all... I'm also sensitive to the sound of water.

Beyond that was more of a jungle than a forest. It is a rugged forest with no beast paths. There seems to be a considerable amount of water. Maybe it rains a lot too.

"Everybody out the knife. From here on out, we're gonna cut the grass and move on."

Finally, the time has come for Matchett to be very active. I've only ever been able to use it in combat, so I've been feeling a little depressed.

Originally, Machete is meant to chop off rays and grass. It is not meant to behead a goblin. Strain and wiggle.

Everyone takes out each knife and cuts on.

Luna's knife is a bowie knife. I use it in combat, so I'm used to it. Leeds cleverly uses a hunter knife he doesn't normally use. Claire usually uses a single-handed sword with a single blade, so she has no problem switching it to a knife. But Claire's knife is almost a knife.

The problem is Mr. Lily, isn't it? He said he wasn't used to handling blades.

"Lily, how's it going? Is it working?

"Oh, not to worry. That's a lot of fun. Ha ha."

Mr. Lily is laughing and slapping off a tree entangled bamboo. Just slap the blade at your disposal. It looks abusive, but this usage is not wrong. Mr. Lily's knife is a sword, and that's what it is.

I have a knack for the angle to hit, so if you use it, you'll remember.

In terms of the sturdiness of the blade, the sword is the best, followed by Matchett and Bowie knife. Hunter knives and Claire saxophones are not suitable for abusive use.

The mowing should be done by me, Luna and Mr. Lily. If you force it, the knife hurts.

By the way, I can't use the magic of mowing grass. The trees are getting in the way and I can't cut them well. That magic is dedicated to meadows and gardens.

The progression while hunting for grass takes time. If I noticed, the area was starting to get dark.

"Let's take a break here. It's dangerous to travel after dark."

"Huh? You can't set up a tent here. What are you gonna do?

We're good in the jungle, but there's no room for us to set up a tent. That's why I can't go back now.

Hammocks are handy at times like this, but you haven't bought them for the number of people. But you shouldn't sleep directly on the ground. The ground takes your temperature unexpectedly. Sometimes it gets cold enough to freeze even in the summer. Sometimes I can't sleep with a set of bugs.

So make your own hammock replacement. Let's lend my hammock to Luna and use the rope for the other three.

"I bought a hammock for a time like this. We don't have a lot of people, so we'll make it."

"Make it? Here?

When I say I make it, I don't knit or sew it. Just tie the rope to the tree, make an ellipse, and wrap the rope around the side like an ami lottery. One can be made in ten minutes.

If you put a shrug on top of it, it won't be comfortable but it will replace the hammock.

"Thank you for lending me. Pretty good.

You should have bought my share. "

Luna seems to have liked it a lot and is delighted to be softly wrapped in a hammock.

When I bought the hammock, Leeds also showed interest, so I bought it with him. But the other three didn't show interest, so they didn't buy it.

If this is the case, I should have bought them all for you. Now let's be careful.

"Koh knows something odd, doesn't he? Who do you learn from?

Claire asked from above your handmade simple hammock.

I don't think it's a common technology in Japan, but it doesn't seem to be a commonly known technology in this world either.

"If you read the book, it says so."

It was in the camp magazine. It's a regular monthly magazine. If you want to make it as it was written there, you don't need rope either. If you use sturdy spreads like Akebi, there is no problem with local procurement.

Put up a tarp and windscreen cloth just in case, and go to bed first after a light meal.

I check the maps frequently, but they don't have many demons around here. I can't be alarmed, but I'm not responding at all. Maybe Uroboros is hunting.

Start acting as soon as the night breaks. Only dried fruit and tea for breakfast. I warmed myself up with tea and started walking.

I think he advanced his legs upstream of the river and came pretty deep. I have a map, so I haven't encountered any demons at all. I just have trouble hunting, so I avoid it well. However, the speed of travel is quite slow.

While I'm running exploring, I can't help but wander around to avoid demons. Continue even through the depressed woods. I don't see anything artificial.

I cut the crunch and the crunch and it's still going, but I've been feeling worse about the map ever since I got in the back. The demon reacts, but the map hasn't been saved. I think it's a glitch......

"Hey, you've been walking in the same place since earlier, right?

Looks like Leeds found it uncomfortable, but this should be the first time he's ever been through here, more than with a twig tangled in a tree. That's the kind of illusion I sometimes get in the deep woods. It was one step before the wreck.

The map seems to be faulty, too, and stops once for caution.

"That can't be right. Isn't that a mistake?

"Right. That's what happens when you walk in the woods."

Claire tunes in. I've been in the woods many times with herb collection, so I guess I have experience.

"... No, it feels like this, similar to the Elf village junction. Maybe it's still working..."

Impossible story... Impossible. It's been almost 1,000 years since the Elf Nation died. Even village boundaries are managed to maintain. Plus, Uroboros can break it.

"No way, is that happening?

"You won't be able to say enough without it. Very rarely, there are times when a working Elf magic item is discovered. It was stored indoors."

Seriously...... If this is the junction, we need to find the disarm. Without someone on the road, discovery is near impossible. It's hopeless.

"Hey, then why is the grass growing?

They're hanging up, aren't they?

Claire's question is a good one. I judged by the same standards.

"Claire, take a look at that."

Mr. Lily's pointed behind me with a troubled look on his face, so I look back. Then in the distance, the freshly pruned bamboo stretched out and tangled in the tree. What is this disgusting?

Definitely. Definitely in the junction. I don't know what the principle is, but they encourage the growth of plants. This will definitely get lost. It's a pretty vicious tie.

Before I got here, I was supposed to stay for 30 days and secure food. I have about ten extra days to deal with the irregular.

Calculating from the number of days spent travelling so far, we'll probably be able to work here in about fifteen days. After that, we need to find food on our own.

I have plants as far as I can see, but these aren't the food. I found something like a banana or a papaya to say on Earth, but I made it through that no one had ever seen it.

All the edible plants I've ever seen looked very similar to the Earth. But that's not why we decided we could eat unknown plants. You should think you can't eat plants you're not sure of.

Will the disarm be found within fifteen days? Not necessarily the same shape as the village of Elves. It may be in a completely different form because it is a heavier bound than the village of Elves. Well, what do we do?

"Looking...?

"You just have to look. Surprisingly, you may soon find it."

That's a hopeful observation. It would be easier if there were some kind of marking, but there is no way there is a marking on the disarming device, which is a necessity of the junction. There's something wrong with putting the disarm out of the junction in the first place, but if you think about going in and out, you can't help it.

Assuming that a stone similar to the village of Elf was a release device, can you find it in this jungle? Probably buried in a tree and you don't see anything.

"Hey, do you have anything like a clue?

Luna or Leeds might have a feeling I don't understand. "

"... if you look carefully, you might figure something out"

"Probably not. If you look closely, it's a demon prop, but it just looks like a stone, doesn't it?

You're utterly desperate. Luna expected Leeds to have a sense of human separation of the Elf's descendants, but it doesn't seem to work. Well, naturally.

If you go ahead and burn the jungle, you might find it. Let's do that if we have to.

I just have to observe it carefully now anyway. First, explore the boundaries of the junction. The boundaries are invisible because the sense of direction is just a crazy junction. This is the trouble.

The release device should be just inside the boundary. So if you walk along the border, there's a chance you'll find it, but you don't know where that boundary is.

A plain junction, but really malicious and effective. I can't disarm it even if I know how it works.

Walk in the same direction you think you came from. It's a hard forest walk with no maps and no landmarks. I guess I won't be in the same place.

I made the same mistake when I was on Earth. I climbed the mountain with Zelig as my landmark, and I was going to follow the same Zelig home, but I got out in a completely different place. And it was supposed to be a mountain I was used to.

If you lose sight of the direction in a place surrounded by trees, you will never be able to return to the same place again. I just want to avoid camping in the junction, as there is no other way to do that. Let's get out of here before sundown.
