● 8 What I want to know What I don't want you to know

My nose bled.

It should have been only a few moments. I used Absolute Square.

But as Hannu predicted, and as Eija can see, the impotence of 1024 times the enhancement factor was cutting my life itself.

She only used it for about a second, but bled out of her nose, and it came to her feet.

The healing formula (heel) stops the bleeding, but the damage done deep in the body doesn't heal that way.

Crying, apologizing, comforting and making up, Hannu and I decided to take a big break in the shade as it were. Of course, away from where the tiger carcass I scattered exploded.

"I'm sorry, Rat... but I could have created a situation where the concubine herself had to use it..."

Apologize to me for sitting at the foot of a big tree with a face where Hannu wouldn't float. She had taken the fan-shaped remote control of the Zhengtian spirit symbol from her nostalgia and was stirring me up with it.

I laugh, haha, at Hannu dropping his shoulders.

"Yeah, no, Hanu. I knew it was my own fault that I got emotional... and more importantly, Hanu helped me, so I'm really glad I did."

"Lato......"

Hannu stares at me with a caring eye as he sends me a breeze.

Now I know what that gaze means. So I nodded back,

"Yeah, I know. From now on, try not to use it as much as you can. Honestly, there are parts of me that I was licking a little... I can't believe I only used this little bit, but there's a recoil so far... Ayja is right, maybe my life span..."

Afraid to keep going ahead, my voice narrowed and disappeared.

- Maybe my life expectancy is already low.

When I think about it, it's a natural story, and I've fought with Absolute Square many times before. As I said in front of the Broadcaster camera, just how much muscle strength, agility, and endurance have improved, only health remains vegan. So I guess little by little, little by little, the recoil has continued to build up deep inside my body.

It's just that the damage was far more than I expected.

Maybe it can be used twice or three times already. "After the battle in Midgard, he bled out of his eyes and ears and passed out, and even when he was Romnick, he was only in Absolute Square for a few moments, but he passed out shortly afterwards.

Perhaps, but if I used Absolute Square for as long as I did in the Midgals Olm, I might die this time. No, maybe, not, I guess I'm almost certain I'll die. I can feel it now.

But.

"... but, Hanu. I know it's really dangerous, but still, I... if Hannu or everyone was in a dangerous condition... that..."

Silly as I am, I couldn't imagine myself weighing in. Hannu, Mr. Rose, if I saw Flim's predicament, I must have moved impulsively. Always. Never. You won't even think about it later, and you should do everything you can then.

I'm sure, forget even the promise I made with Hannu.

"- Not at all, he has no choice..."

Hannu laughed as he stirred me up with a fan-shaped remote control and floated around with a talisman crystal of Fuhafu and Zhengtian spiritual symbols.

Incidentally, the talisman crystal that we are letting unfold as a junction is, of course, a measure not to tread the same as earlier. I also put aside the Black Xuan and the White Tiger that I took out of storage so that there could be a raid whenever I wanted, in case I had to.

"Fine. It was the concubine who lost track of Lato's stubbornness. You always do. Since he looks like a grown-up, and actually a hell of a greedy boy. I thought I'd stop. My concubine's gone nuts."

"Ha, Hanu......"

Hannu's words, as he understood everything, and spoke somewhere pleasant, were subtle and spicy.

"Aye, okay. My concubine no longer thinks of stopping Lato, etc. I guess I won't listen anyway. Bye..."

Pita stopped sending the wind, and Hannu leaned forward and looked at me. Bullyish light jitsu eyes and 'U' shaped lips loom close, and I say, gibberish. I don't know what you're thinking, I'm pretty anxious on the look on Hanu's face with no bottom view.

"... Rats aren't the only ones who take it personally, are they? Naturally, I'll let my concubine do whatever she wants... but no more no more?

"Huh? Well, what does that mean...?

My anxiety increases even further because I say meaningful dialogue with a meaningful face. Hannu laughed at Mysterious again and slowly pulled his upper body back at me asking him the specifics.

"What, what did you find out? Rats are the only ones who protect their concubines, no way. It's called inequality. Then the concubine should also protect Lato? If you do, your chances of doing something dangerous will drop a little. Yes, just flip what the concubine herself said earlier."

I think that Hannu's golden-eyed silver eyes, which lift up the fan-shaped remote control and hide his mouth, don't look like anything but a glance when the prank kid thinks' I've come up with a good thing ', and speaking of which, Hannu doesn't say much about these times, I've also been dating for a long time.

"First of all, avoid exposing the concubine to such a crisis - this is exactly it. In other words, [you just have to create a situation where Lato doesn't have to do anything dangerous], let's say? I mean, then - as long as the concubine controls the lato. Don't you think?

"Heh...?

Control - that is, "control".

Slightly thrown up, what do you care? A warrior runs into horrible words.

"Uh... Hanu? That Mr. Hannu? What do you mean..."

"Uh-huh. Listen to me, Lato."

Patapata and Hanu, who at last began to fan his own face, spin words in an upbeat mood.

"The concubine no longer tells Ratto 'protect the concubine'. Instead, from now on, [let the concubine protect Ratto]. See, that one. It's called" Bukkapu. "Would you have practiced before when Rose was one of us? Now is the time to show the results of that time. The only two best friends, the concubine and the rat, by their exquisite" collaboration, "became one creature, two of us, exactly where we were headed, no enemy -"

"Oh, no, wait, wait, Hanu, wait?

"- He said he was in the mood because of it."

"Uh, yeah. You know what?... Could that be the story of when the three of us and Mr. Rose started exploring, when we didn't work together well at all, and were mainly damaged until I wore out? Is that it?"

"... ho? Is that what you did?

"I wonder what else happened!? I mean, how can there be so much difference in memory between me and Hanu, the same party!? Pretty much!?"

I accidentally raised my voice to Hannu, who leaned very naturally toward her little neck.

It is a terrible thing to remember now.

Me and Hannu, and Rosé, who had just joined the cluster, were the first to explore it.

At that time, for the first time - except for the enlistment test - the three of us tried to fight together properly, and as a result, we showed off so much guddaghdah that we couldn't even see.

Hannu accidentally hits me with the manipulation of the Zhengtian spiritual symbol.

Mr. Rosé mishandled the chain and threw me straight into the enemy line.

Now it was time for each position to be finalized and the same failures stopped repeating themselves, but it was really hard then.

Because...

"Don't you remember, Hanu? I was hit with Hannu's talisman crystal, and Hannu basically said," Cover me! 'That was a lot right after I said...?

"Are you kidding? If you say so, I don't know if you think so..."

Meanwhile, out of sight, Hannu speeds up the patter and the hand that stirs him up. I don't remember this. This is a reaction I'll never remember.

Rarely will I be the one who sends Zito eyes on this matter. [M]

"Hannu... and yet even if they say," Now is the time to show the achievements of that time... "

"- Not right now!? Listen, Rat, you look like a concubine and you're growing up every day. Take a look at this, I could only handle two things at first, but now this is the way it is...!

The hasty Hanu injects his surgical powers into the fan-shaped remote control and lights the smeared light. What twelve talisman crystals floating around me and Hannu. It is everything that belongs to the Zhengtian spiritual symbol.

"Ho."

When he waved the fan-shaped remote control along with a light voice-over, Hannu's inspired talisman crystal moved to slip through the universe.

Circle around and dance around us. If you think so, repeat the sharp cut as lightning and move to the zigzag. In the next moment I thought, swimming in the air with Uneune was disgusting and smooth.

All twelve talisman crystals danced through the universe as if they were alive, and in an undisturbed motion.

Hannu laughs at me when he finishes moving the whole thing. [M]

"What do you say, Rato? Would that have been a lot better than then? I can't fail anymore. Only a concubine can protect you. Relief."

While sitting upright on the seat, Hannu puts her hands on her hips, and puts her chest up and doya face.

I was half-assed, half-assed, and I laughed lightly and bitterly.

"... yeah... I say it because I don't seem to remember, but Hanu then also said, 'I'm used to handling this guy anymore. Leave it to the concubine'..."

"- What... then...!?

Hanu stunned as he remained in a chested pose. The reaction was so funny that I erupted unexpectedly.

"Hahaha! You don't remember that either, do you, Hanu?"

"Ugh... but now it's okay! My concubine protects Lato! If I tell you to protect me, protect me!

I looked unconsciously from head to toe at Hannu, claiming with my hands up,

"Hahaha. And even though I say it's growing day by day, Hanu is still tiny - ha!?

…………

My mouth slipped because of the slight exhilaration and I returned to me with a far-fetched silence.

But it was all too late.

Hanu's expression was' nil '.

"-Rat."

With a voice like another, etherochromia of ether and gold, which became like glass balls, throws an empty gaze.

There was a big hole - that's what I felt.

"Yes, no, that Hanu, wait a minute!? Shit, no, my mouth slipped a bit right now - otherwise I didn't mean anything wrong then, so it's that misunderstanding!?

"Ho? For that matter, I think I checked the size of the concubine's body just for a moment before I said" small "...? I saw the concubine. Moving your gaze. So what are you going to argue it's a" misunderstanding "?

"Ugh...!

I have no words to return to the sharp point.

With inorganic eyes, Hannu tilted her neck. Where is the movement, the puppet looks terribly creepy.

"Tiny? Did you just say tiny now, Rat?

"Hih!? Yes, no, no, no. Do it!? So, you know, tiny - I'm working on it even if it's tiny, and speaking of which, if you look closely, it's getting bigger than it used to be, I thought you'd say it's a growing season!? It's true!?

I wave my hands in a great panic and cross body language, and I desperately delude myself.

Yes, it's absolutely forbidden to say words like 'tiny' or 'small' or 'little one' to Hanu. Apparently, he regrets not lining up with me as his only best friend, and he hates all the words that make him realize that he is small.

At the beginning of my acquaintance, I didn't realize Hannu's mind, but as we got along step by step, I was careful not to talk about back-length topics, especially after she became frankly angry with me.

Even so.

"Well... for that matter, I said the previous words were" growing day by day, but isn't the connection strange?

Light tone of discouragement, laser-like inorganic gaze from the eyes.

Scary.

I'm so scared.

Hannu is a smart kid. You must have seen my loss. [M] And yet, is it because the quarrel I just had is pulling its tail that makes me tickle away? Or is it a formula that thoroughly sets the moxibustion so that I don't slap the same light mouth again when I see this as an opportunity?

"Look, look, Hanu has been eating a lot lately!? So are the treats, but like regular rice!? And I was wondering if you've really grown taller lately!? Oh, and if I put it on my knees here, it's a little heavy or twisted in my bones, and you're gaining weight too!? Oh, my God, this isn't about being fat or anything!? I am purely happy with Hannu's growth!? Um sorry, why are you talking like this to me?!? I'm starting to wonder!?

I panicked too much to know what I was talking about. And Hannu's eyes, listening to my excuses like that, are only keeping it icy, and I was wondering when the frozen light would pop out of those different colored eyes.

Suddenly the ground rocked.

――

Doon! and the intense impact as it protrudes from the foot.

How powerful it was, so small that Hannu's body floated in the universe for a moment.

"" - Huh...!?

The two of us breathe at the same time in an overwhelming earthquake.

"- Hannuh!

"-Rat!

I reached out to Hannu, and Hannu jumped into my arms again.

I try to cover Hannu's little body, hug her, and watch my surroundings. [M]

As I recall, a flock of birds flapped together from all over the forest.

"Nah......!?

Vision shakes.

Pretty big earthquake. The great trees that we lay on also rattle gussa and branches, dropping fragments of paralysis and leaves and bark. If the big branches are going to break and fall, we need to use the support technique to increase Hannu's defense.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!? hey, what the heck......!?

Unconsciously, Hannu, who grabbed the chest of my shirt with both hands, raised a confused voice.

"Wow, I don't know! So, but this...!

It's impossible if you think about it normally.

This is a floating island. It's a collection of dirt and stones that float in the sky, just like Float Rise. I can't believe it doesn't work alone without external powers.

"is getting intense, rat!? Ko, is it okay to stay here!?

"So, it's okay! This place is outside, so as long as it doesn't even come down in the trees, it shouldn't be a problem......!

With each passing of time, the shaking of the earthquake increases its intensity. It's like there's a monster or something raging inside the island.

- This isn't just a floating island...!?

I knew it. This is inside the Lunatic Babel. I understood that it was not a half-breed place.

But - I didn't know [this was coming].

- Could it be that the heavens and the earth will be reversed by flipping like this...!?

The thought flashes in the blink of an instant, no matter how long you wait, there is no indication that it will subside.

Impossible, but not [here] - my spine burst into such a hunch.

When the wobble became too strong for me to finally stand even as I kept my back in the tree.

"... Huh! Sorry Hanu, once we get out of the sky!

I made an emergency evacuation decision.

"La, I'll leave you to Lato!

He trusted me to gently change Hannu's body and give it to the so-called princess. Activate the support technique Strength Rapid Protection five times at a time in that state, increasing the enhancement factor of the full enhancement to thirty-two times. And of course, don't forget to give Hannu a (Protection) x5.

Then, when I activated the Serie Walk, I ran up the stairs all at once, invisible at a rate of sickness.

The last time I checked the panorama of the island, I ascended to a high position, and I put a floating island under my eyes that storms like a waste child.

"Ooh... this is a face demon..."

"Wow..."

This anomaly can be seen by being freed from severe shaking and calmly viewed from the sky.

It is no longer at the level of earthquakes. Is it also happening in a chain explosion inside the island, moving randomly in all vectors up, down, left and right? Looking down from a high place like this, it looked like a stone spot with a vibration function.

"Hey, I don't think you're gonna keep blowing up like this anymore...?

"What!? And when that happens, where do we land...!?

Hannu, with her arm around my neck, said something scary as a grunt, so I peeled off my eyes and was surprised. If the island explodes and becomes a piece of wood dust, we lose our stopover. It would still be helpful if the levitating force remained on the remaining shards, but if they were completely scattered and wiped out, we would have to lose our surgical power and fall upside down sooner or later.

But fortunately, that was worrying.

The floating island, which was trembling violently, did not manage to flip, and gradually began to diminish its momentum. The frequency of the energy explosions happening inside has decreased, let's say. The end came abruptly, like a pistol that ran out of remnants.

At the end of the day, a tremor subsides so that it fades out as it is later.

"... oh, it's over...?

"Hmm... apparently so. Behold, Lato. The animals in the woods are starting to move."

"Oh, it's true..."

Looks like the birds retreated to the sky just like us, but the animals living in the woods were lurking in the twist. When the aftermath of the earthquake completely disappeared, he had gone outside and resumed his activities, as he had stated.

"... you look so used to it, animals..."

"Uhm. Does that mean shaking like right now is routine? It's a hard land to live in..."

Looking at the edge of the island, the sea water drips like a waterfall unchanged and scattered in the atmosphere. Oh, the structure, so I guess there can't be a tsunami after the earthquake either. As if nothing had happened, the condition of the island had regressed as early as possible before the earthquake.

"All right, Lato. Once you get back down there. Even here, my body just squishes with sweat."

"Ugh, yeah, okay"

Sure, it's just getting closer to the sun, and the heat of the sun coming down from overhead hasn't sprinkled either. Sometimes it was an anomaly, but me and Hanu were all sweaty.

Speaking of which, based on the last reflection in Midgard, storage was always equipped with portable food and drinking water for emergency use, but at least the water must be right to the bottom at this rate.

"- Well, I'm going down around that river, okay?

"Um, that's what my concubine was going to say."

Hannu agreed when he indicated that there was only one river present on the floating island.

If we cannot get out of here in one day today, we must also think about going wild this evening. If so, would that forest and near the river still be ideal for camping?

- Sure, I think I left a tiny tent in storage a lot of time ago... are you still able to use it...?

I remember a camp set I bought when I was previously exploring in a Chiatik cabin, and while I held Hanu back, I sickened toward the river edge, reflecting the glitter and sunlight.

- And what the hell was that earthquake earlier? What caused that to happen? Could that investigation be the reason to escape this strange space...?

Whatever it was, I got a first tip. I don't know if it's really a clue, but for now, it would be a good idea to investigate earthquakes as an immediate goal.

Now it's time to calm down and rest properly and discuss the earthquake with Hannu.

When I made that decision on the inside, I switched my mind and began to think behind my head about the steps needed for camp.

"Look... now you can do it, huh?

"Ohh... Ohh...!

Looking up at the pap tent and tarp I put together, Hannu makes her golden and silver demon eyes (heterochromia) shine and raise her inspiring voice.

It's not a big deal. When I ran out - and it's still similar now - I bought it second-hand on, it's some army paydown. I missed enough motivation at the time, so I bought a bunch of these that were cheap.

"La, lato! Lato! What the hell is this? Isn't this some kind of secret base? I've heard that before! and that legend that friends make each other......!!

But it must be the first thing Hannu has ever seen. This is the situation, but like a child - or seemingly innocent, he seemed excited about his first camp.

Still, I keep a lot of stuff in my storage, and all I can say is that it was really a good job while I was there.

As mentioned, at the time I was looking for Explorer, I thought I would need it someday, so I paid for it and gradually bought it in.

What else? It's not the first thing Lunatic Babel does, but other ruins (relics) often camp inside. Although it is common for me to go on day trips in Chiatic Cabins because I am a person who could not party. [M]

Anyway.

The Lunatic Babel is artificial and has only an orbital elevator with convenient facilities for getting to and from. However, the Chiatic Cabin, known as the Vessel of the Planet, or the Great Blue Gate, famous as the Nego of the Sea King, is a half-natural labyrinth (dungeon).

Naturally usability is low only for non-artifacts, and if you describe its characteristics succinctly - [deep], there is nothing else to say.

Especially since the latter is only a relic of the sea, we wouldn't be talking about it without a special submarine - a dedicated aircraft called a "transporter"? Explorer around there said he would spend days aboard a submarine with those living spaces going for a deep bottom of the ocean.

- Speaking of which, Mr. Villey said that that "highwayman" Howell also has the Great Blue Gate as his root castle...

He is an abomination called "Explorer Hunt (Red Lamb)," so it is not an explorer seeking mystery that does it, but an explorer raid that has visited the ruins for it. I'm sure there's also a "hunting transporter" that uses a variety of equipment to attack the explorer of - I can't say enough - innocent. Did you just say "pirate ship"? "pirate"?

gossip.

If Great Bluegate is an empty hole in the ocean, the ruin I chose for my first exploration destination - the Chiatic Cabin is an empty hole in the earth.

Yes, "a supermassive vertical hole over four kilotres in diameter in the middle of the mining hole city of Randall Gear - that's the" Cave of Chaos "Chiatic Cabin.

Wind rumors say that that giant vertical hole leads to the center of the planet? Another theory hides the door to the 'hell' otherness - what a story.

None of this is worthy of comment, of course, as it is on the same level as rumours that Lunatic Babel is connected to the moon, or that the door to Ceiling Paradise is hidden.

In such a chiatic caban, clusters and parties running at the top had become common sense to camp inside the ruins. The reason, naturally, is that in just one day it does not reach the maximum depth - the front line of what is called the Lunatic Babel.

If the information obtained from the net is certain, the maximum depth of the current Chiatic cabin is around 12,000 melts. From there on forward is an untouched realm for newcomers, a space of chaos filled with mysteries and dangers left by the ancients.

I do hear that the average depth you can go in a day is between 3,000 and 4,000 Mertres, so it will take as early as three whole days to calculate to reach the highest depth from departure. In the meantime, while finding the right space in the cave, camping there and pinching the rest, the Explorers go for the bottom of the ground.

So I also thought that it would all be that kind of life, and I bought that and this and camping gear... and I know the results. The tools bought and collected were not used at all, and this is the time.

In the first place, I wouldn't have visited Floating City Float Rises if things had gone well, and I never met Hanu to be friends, so maybe I should have thanked him for his ironic fate.

"Whew, lat, lat! What the hell is this? How do you use it?

Hannu asks me a question that I can't help but curiosity as I lay a mat in my tent. The tiny right hand pointing up and down is the assembled Tripod for now.

"Oh, that's called a fire cradle... an incinerator? Light a fire on the fire resistant mesh below and hang a pan or something on the chain hook to warm it up."

"Well, a bonfire! I mean, it's not like," Kimmy, hey, hey! "I heard the story, but this is the first time I've seen it straight away! When!? When can you light a fire?

Hannu, who is not excited to cool down, has just set herself on fire now. Those hands are holding her fist in front of her chest, and that's all I can see of her passion.

"Ma, it's still too early to light the fire... see, the sun is high, and it's still totally hot..."

The forest on the river's edge, the area is dim because it is based in the shade of its trees. But if you step out into the sun, it's still a dangerous place to be exposed to murderous heat rays. Instead of making any sense to light the fire at all temperatures, it was until more sweat erupted and I had heat stroke.

"Mmmm... so you light the fire when it gets cold?

"Right. The float rise is huge, and there are so many mechanisms that we can keep the temperature constant, but there's not going to be anything like that here... like desert, even if it's hot during the day, it's likely to be cold at night, or maybe, but there's a radiation cooling phenomenon... that? But isn't that going to happen without low humidity? No, but the radiation cooling itself should normally happen, so there's a good chance it'll get cold...?

…… The concubine has no idea what Rat is talking about... "

As I tested my knowledge in my brain with a difficult face, Hannu frowned and pointed her lips as if she were obstinate.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Hanu. Anyway, look forward to setting the fire when the temperature drops. Oh, yeah. Why don't Hannu light a fire if you like?

…… Ugh! I'm sure not!

I was wondering if you'd be happy to do it, but Hanu, as expected, fixed his mood and nodded enthusiastically, yeah, yeah.

"Well, I'm sorry, but can you gather the branches that are falling within sight? It might be humid because of this climate, but I think we can handle it because we're bringing solid fuel."

Hannu laughed, pointing at the dead branch that I was falling between the trees.

"Um, I don't know, I'll take care of it! Rato is a man you can count on! Concubines don't know these things! Nice to meet you!

While the tense Hannu was happy, he praised me with momentum and rushed out to pick up the branches with the momentum as it was. Of course, take Zorozolo and the talisman crystal of the Zhongtian Spiritual Charm.

Naturally, but I don't feel bad about being complimented. After I drop Hannu off, I loosen my mouth unknowingly.

But when it comes to incineration, it is the presence of Flim that is really remembered. As long as she had her granting ceremony (Bonfire), I didn't even need fuel firewood to prepare the incinerators like this... No, I can't help it if I'm not here.

- Or Rose and Flim, I wonder if you're okay...

Hanu told me, 'Do more about yourself than worry about others', but I still care about things that bother me. Although I understand that there is no point in worrying about those two in the current situation, I think you can at least be forgiven enough to wish them well.

and so on, while thinking about that in the corner of my head, under the tarp tensioned using the rope tensioned between the trees, I will have this again a chair and table for camping. How much do you appreciate, if not lack, the convenience of the Ginnungagap protocol, which allows you to carry these items without weight each time. Without this, most of the world's explorers would be forced to go out of business.

In the first instance, a small barbecue stove for meals shall also be removed and installed next to the Tripod. Once that's done, now fix each item.

I spoke lightly with Hannu, but apparently the earthquake that happens on this island is routine. Even the firewood pickup I'm asking Hannu to do is remarkable, but the number of leaves and branches falling on the ground is not half as high.

Perhaps every time, a major earthquake like the one just happened. The thickness of the rotten soil at the root was enormous because each time the trees were shed leaves and branches.

That's why we should respond as' earthquakes happen and deserve it '. Therefore, not only tents and tarps, but also stoves, trypods, chairs and tables, etc. are fixed with strings and pegs. As I was saying, there's a pile of rotting soil, so I hammered it in to let it sink deep.

When you're done with that, the next step is to take care of the fallout from overhead. The earthquake could break a thick branch and make it fall. To prevent it, ascend to a high position on the "Serie Walk" and stretch the rope like a spider's nest between the trees. Now I can't say it's complete, but a large broken branch would be preventable. Of course, don't forget to put a knife in the trunk of the tree for a deep cut and hook the rope.

When I say knife, I recall something made of etherinium that Mr. Villey gave me the other day. Of course, it's impossible to use such an expensive thing to prepare for camp, so the knife I'm gripping now is one of the collections I gave away from my grandfather.

The boulders were the only super luxury weapons that processed rare metals, and that knife was branded.

The name is "Mondenricht." It's "Moonlight."

If you look at the properties, the producer is a martial arts creator (crafter) named Lion Tatibana, who, according to his peer Flim, says, 'On-tachi no? Yeah, Osama calling himself "the direct apprentice of the glowing wing wing," right? I know. I know. The enemy of Tashi. Merchant Enemy! Because it wasn't Auntie - only one master's beloved apprentice is this "Infinite Light (Ein Sof Oul)" Millibertiflim!? - I just got a little teaching. What about direct apprenticeship?!? Absolutely crush it!!' I can see that although it seemed like I didn't care much about eating it, that flim viewing it as a rival so far is a first-class product when it comes to technology anyway.

With the style of the author, Mr. Ontachi - nicknamed - you think there are always two types of martial arts to be named for his creation? Therefore, the knife that Mr. Villey gave me had two names: "Mondenrich" and "Moonlight". As far as I'm concerned, it's easier to call a moonlight with a similar sense of speech to Black Xuan or White Tiger, so that's what I'd like to call it from now on.

"Phew... is this what this is all about? Glad I bought a long rope..."

As I stretched a roped net over the tent, I took a breather's breath from the air, a few steps away.

"Lato! I picked up the branches -!

Hannu's voice from his feet. Looking down, Hannu, who made a mountain of broken branches near the Tripod, was waving towards us.

"Okay -! I'm not going back now!

When I answered with my hand next to my mouth, I finally pulled the rope again to make sure it was okay, and I ran down under Hannu.

"... that?

As I approach, I feel subtle discomfort in Hanu's appearance. I would have asked to pick up a branch, but for that, the shape of the one I hold in both hands is strange. That's right, it's like grabbing a raven's ear and hanging...?

"... Um, Hanu? Is that...?

"Uhm! I picked up the branches just like Lato said, and they popped out of the shade! I thought it was just the right thing to hunt for!

Hannu confidently stretched his chest, sloppy, and stuck something hanging in his hands this way.

It wasn't a mistake to look at. What Hannu was holding were two undisputed wild rabbits.

"This is what happened. Would you need food? It's just a summer bug flying in the fire. He came out and said, hey. Don't worry, I'm not letting you suffer. Because I stunned him in an instant."

This one, that is, the talisman crystal floating in the universe to protect her. Zhengtian Spiritual Charm is a weapon whose power is changed by the operative power of the user. Hannu's ability to operate is something that's going to turn him into wood tip dust instead of stunning, but apparently he's skilled enough to exert a really subtle force subtraction. It seemed neither glorious nor haphazard that the concubine would protect Ratto.

"Ugh, yeah, that's right..."

But that's not what surprises me.

"-? What's up, Rat? What are you surprised about?

Kyoton, and Hannu tilting his little neck.

"What? Yes, no, you know, the..."

I mean, this is my assumption, or I think it's a discretionary preconception.

"Beh, it's not like it's weird..."

"What? Say it. That's how I don't say what I want to say right away is a bad habit."

Hannu, anxious for my attitude, swelled her cheeks with her hands on her hips as she grabbed the ears of the rabbit. I was slightly damaged by the evil habits that I was aware of. [M]

"Oh yeah... then I'll tell you... Hanu is [like] fine, I thought"

"? That kind of thing, what do you mean?

"Uh... you see, in me, the gods of the living, they all live in hiding behind the palace, and they don't really walk outside... so I was wondering if they're not even connected to hunting or anything..."

"Hmm. Well, sure. I knew about these guys, but this may be the first time I've seen them alive and moving with these eyes. I've eaten meat many times."

Lift the wild rabbit in your right hand and stare at Hannu with a serious look. But what lives in those different colored eyes is like a normal girl showing 'Ra Cute -!' There was no emotion whatsoever, and that was like pointing it towards roasted fish or whole chicken roasting.

"I was once taken to camp by my grandfather, my master, and in some cases I hunted pigs and deer..."

"Wow! Isn't that amazing! It doesn't make sense to be handy."

Surprised and praising Hannu, he smiles full face after all.

That's why the next question was hard to cut out.

"... that Hanu wasn't scared...? When I first started out, I was scared and couldn't do it very well..."

"-? Scared? What the hell do you need to be scared of?

Hannu gives a bewildered look in the wind that he was asked what he didn't even think.

I guess, while I explain what I felt at the time.

"Uh, look... humans have to eat other animals and plants to live, but they have to take their lives for that, right? Even if I said it to live, I knew at first that I was reluctant to kill the animals that lived so hard at our convenience..."

…………

You're talking embarrassing while I'm at it, and it stinks, and I lean down and scratch the back of my head with my right hand.

"Besides, even after hunting, there's blood loss and demolition, right? I was really bad at that too because I was scared or disgusted... haha..."

I try to laugh in the light, but Hanu is just staring at me with strange eyes. Just so we're clear, it's not half slippery. So,

"Oh, so, but you're okay now, right? I'm used to it a lot already, and I'm not scared... well, I didn't even like it..."

Attempts to delude, fail as usual. Why would I add an extra word, a guy named me?

"So, so what? This was my first day, and I'm not scared at all. Hanu is amazing, I thought. I was just a little surprised because I thought everyone was just scared at first. Besides, I've been better at handling Zhengtian spiritual symbols, and I've always thought Hanu was a very talented person -"

"Don't."

"- Huh?"

I was finally able to tell you why I was surprised, and then, when I tried to praise Hanu by revealing what I always thought was amazing inside, I was suddenly blocked. It's also in a hard, stretched voice.

"Stop it, Lato. If I'd stopped already."

If you noticed, at some point Hannu was leaning deep.

"Duh, what's wrong, Hanu?

Surprised by the sudden modulation, I try to peek into Hannu's face. Then she shook her neck slowly to the side,

"Don't praise me. Praise me for such things... the concubine... the concubine..."

"Hanu......?

A slightly trembling voice. Particulates of seeping tears. I'm not sure what it is, but to an atmosphere that seems to have stepped on some kind of mine, yes, it does.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Hannu, I said something wrong -"

The moment I tried to apologize, but suddenly Hannu looked up.

――――

I hold my tongue to an unexpected look in my eyes, and I stop. [M]

He laughed. As if the voice was a lie until just now.

Kufu, and smile as usual, then Hanu shows off his white teeth.

"What do you say? Surprised? Have you been deceived, Rat?

"Huh...? Oh, uh, oh, that...?

I just have to round my eyes for another sudden transformation. [M]

- Yeah, lie? A joke? Could it be me, I've been duped...?

That can't be right.

Don't let the fool out, Ragdishardt.

Hannu's not the kid to do this. Even if you make fun of me or make a tease of me, you're not supposed to be trying to fool me until you tell a lie.

But...

"- Phew, it's still hot in here. Oh, yeah. There's a river right there. My concubine is going to take a proper bath, Ratto."

Before I said anything, or to restrain it, Hannu put the wild rabbit on the ground and said it quickly as he turned toward the river.

Increasingly suspicious. I've never seen Hanu take such a deceptive attitude.

"Huh...? Hey, wait a minute, Hanu, not yet,"

"Oh? Are you going to take a bath with Lato? That's good. That's the mental workout I told you about. I don't have the swimsuit that Flim prepared, but my concubines are my only best friends. Naked dating is okay."

Looking back and spreading the chest of the piece with both hands, Hannu turned a cocketish stream towards me. The height difference makes it an angle of upward reckoning, which is so compelling that I don't think of it as a young girl, that I get excited for a moment.

"- Uh-huh!?

And after Hannu's words got stained in my head, I raised my voice in amazement. I shake my head with momentum.

"Oh, no! Absolutely not!

"Really? My concubine has always said that I don't care if I don't have a bathing suit."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Yes, I told you!? Okay if you're wearing a swimsuit, but no naked! No, absolutely not!

"Then you should just put on your swimsuit. You don't care about the concubine, do you?

"I care! So definitely not until you get your swimsuit! No water baths or baths together! If you stop it, ban it. No!

Make an "X" with both arms and I will desperately reject it.

Unlike in the beginning, I stopped feeling anything when I held hands with Hannu, stuck my cheeks, forehead, or put them on my knees, but I knew it wasn't the same story as this. Or different dimensions.

No matter how much Hanu says he's a child and friendly, he should never see a girl naked before his dowry.

"Hmm, I can't help it. Then the concubine will go alone. I asked you to stay away, Lato."

"What!? Oh, hey -!"

moment to Hannu, who trumpeted the story and turned his back, in haste to reach out,

"Oops, I almost forgot. Lato, where's the towel?

Looking back again, a tiny hand was offered.

"What, a towel? Ta, the towel, uh... ah, yes, this"

Hastily embodies towels and bath towels from storage and hands them to Hannu.

"Um, sure. Okay, I'll take care of this place, Lato."

Receiving towels to flinch in a slightly more agile motion, Hannu stayed put, and now it's time to go without looking back.

"Yes, come..."

Pomp, and I'm left behind by her momentum, and I don't have the skill to do it.

And it came to pass after Hannu's little back was blind.

- Shit... I've been totally deluded...

Obviously, Hanu was looking strange.

I don't know how you saw it, it wasn't the usual girl.

Absolutely, something should have happened.

"... what I don't want to talk about, was it..."

Whatever Hannu thought of his response, he seemed to realize that I was aware of it, and on top of that, I just think he was forced to break the waist of the story.

Overall, it's too unnatural to suddenly 'want to take a bath'.

…………

I bow down to the spot and grab the ears of the two ravens that Hannu left behind with both hands. This is the corner food. Let's make the right cage and keep it in there. If you wake up, you should stun them with a very low output (bolt stake) before dismantling. Poor thing, but this is a natural dish too.

- Speaking of which, I don't know much about Hanu...

I notice it now.

I know very little about Hannu.

He's a god of the present, he's sneaking eyes, and he wants to be an explorer, and he's come from the most endless land in the east to the floating city Float Rise - I know that.

But I don't know anything more than that. Never heard of it.

I'd like to ask, but the word 'it's a secret' that I was told when I became friends with her was still a lid in me.

'Cause no matter how much you say you're your only best friend, it's not like we're family to each other. Of course there will be one or two secrets I can't tell you, and there should be.

That's why I've never been in Hanu before.

Hannu didn't come in deep with me.

Yes, there are circumstances that even I can't talk to others about. Recognition is only disturbed about the parents - you mean this mysterious symptom?

I told Mr. Villey because he asked me before, but I actually haven't told Hanu yet. So the only two people who know about this on Float Rise are Flim and Mr. Villey.

Of course, one day I was thinking about talking, and I want Hannu to know more about me.

But I've never been blessed with that opportunity.

I wonder why? And when I thought about it late, I was probably scared.

My cognitive disorder, so to speak, is a head disease. The doctor said it wasn't physical either, it was mental.

This means that if you put it in a very reluctant way - [insane].

Do you know anyone who likes to talk to their friends like this?

At least I don't think so.

I know that would never happen if I were Hannu, and although I'm pretty sure - after all, I'm afraid I'm going to change my eyes on her me.

Poor guy, you might think.

I didn't think you had this flaw, you might think.

You might think he's a flirtatious guy to forget the whole thing about his parents.

No, that can't be right. If I were Hanu, I would never do that. I can assure you so.

- But maybe even she thinks that way, too.

――――

Conflicting.

My thoughts are clearly in conflict.

Hannu is confident that he will never think about it, and yet the anxiety that springs up from the depths of his heart cannot be exhausted, nor can it be contained.

This can be likened to a bungee jump, or a jet coaster, if you like.

We know that they are safe, that there will be no accidents first, and that they will eventually return safely and without incident.

But I'm scared.

The fear I felt was something like that.

He said he was out of his mind.

I am a mentally defective person.

Confessing so is helpless and uninterruptedly horrible.

Especially when I just think about when I do that to Hannu, my whole body runs scared.

When I was able to tell Mr. Villey before, or because I don't care about that guy as much as Hannu, maybe it was.

Maybe - no, definitely.

than anyone else.

I'm most afraid to tell Hannu.

In case, hundreds of millions of dollars, that kid might reject you - to the point that such a possibility exists.

- Could Hannu do the same...?

I look for the little back that's gone by the river, but of course I don't see it.

Me and Hannu are the only best friends in the world.

But I don't know Hannu very well.

Hannu doesn't know me very well, either.

Mutual perceptions have hardly changed since we became "friends" at Lunatic Babel, except for personalities.

I'm an explorer.

Hanu is a god of the Far East.

- But can you really call that a "friend"...?

Though I do, Hannu can't possibly tell me that without any other friends. Even Hanu, that would be the same.

We recognize each other as "friends," and neither of them knows what the key "friends" are.

- Really, the more I think about it, the more I just don't know...

How dare you? Well, it's something I've been able to make friends with, and I get stunned.

No, on the contrary, something that you don't have to know about each other at all - maybe that's "friends".

Friends, they're not family, they're not lovers, let alone couples.

Just being together and sharing time. That's all you need if you have someone else, and you never need anything else.

In this sense, paradoxically, I can tell you that Hannu and I were helpless "friends".

But.

- So is that okay?

With that suspicion, which is past my brain, I know how I feel.

No. I don't know, it's not.

I'm just not happy anymore. [M]

I want to know.

I want to know more about Hannu.

And I want you to know.

I want Hannu to know more about me.

That's why I started questioning the status quo.

…………

Tie the two rabbits with extra rope for now and go into the task of making a small cage using extra pegs and poles as well. In doing so, I think.

- Let's talk. To Hannu, properly.

About me. Let her know about her parents.

Let's start there.

I don't ever just want to be forced. So I'm going to talk to you properly from me and be satisfied there for one second.

Maybe Hannu will talk to me about things, and vice versa, as he has done before.

Either way. What Hanu doesn't want to talk about, after all, shouldn't be forced to ask. So let's give up completely then.

Anyway, it makes my situation boring. That's all. Let's start there.

"... ok"

I made up my mind - the moment I consolidated my will, I felt brighter in front of me.

- Then, when Hanu returns from the water bath, we have to install an improvised mine and alarm sensor at a radius of three hundred and sixty Mertres around here, so we can talk about it together...

And it was the moment I started thinking about the next step.

but a noise came from a nearby crow.

"- Huh!?

A current ran all over my body. Fly away in a cramped motion and grab the black Xuan and white tiger patterns that were lowering to the hard point of the belt.

Definitely. The sound now was human loud or something bigger moved.

Someone is lurking in the shadows.

A beast like the Great Tiger just now? Or...

…………

Slowly, remove the black Xuan and the white tiger from the hard point to avoid making any noise and embody the deep purple light blade (Photon Blade). At the same time, activate the assistive technique Strength, Rapid, Protection and Force Boost five times at a time, increasing the enhancement factor by thirty-two times. Also activate five Eagle Eyes and expand visual information. Monitor the sound from six perspectives to avoid missing any slight changes.

――――

Nothing happens if you wait more than ten seconds as it is.

But I'm sure. Someone who made a noise is killing his breath and lurking in it. I can see that.

It feels strange. I've been told many times in my training with Rose and Ashley, "It's about detecting signs," but is this what it is? A feeling other than the five senses, or all of it, "There are enemies there," sounds the alarm.

"... I know you're there. Come out."

I relied solely on the signs. [M]

Now if the other person is a beast, it is a dumb act because the words don't make sense.

But there was a feeling in me that it wasn't.

- If you're just a beast, you can't kill the signs so far...

Small animals would be running away at all, and if they were beasts, they'd be leaking about one of their roars.

Yet complete silence after the first physical sound.

Someone in this mess doesn't make any noise intentionally.

"- Just wait five seconds. Still, if you don't come out, I'll do everything I can to knock the attack in."

I don't know if it's an enemy or an ally, but if you declare it like this and it doesn't come out, it's definitely an enemy. I simultaneously activate the attack technique "Bolt Stake" x 15 without a voice. The thunder needle icon unfolds as a ripple of rain swinging in a puddle on my front.

"Five, four, three -"

Fire without hesitation when it reaches zero. Decide on that readiness.

What, this is a deserted floating island like nowhere else. Besides, as things stand, it's just me and Hannu [two of us]. If the person in the box is not Mr. Rose, Mr. Flim, or Mr. Villey, it is an indisputable enemy.

Don't condone it.

If you're caught off guard, it's this way to die.

"Two, one..."

The countdown goes on.

Still no good? Though I honestly would have liked you to come out if I could.

- Then we'll have to do it...!

Breathe in, the moment you tried to mouth the last zero,

"- I don't know what else to do, I'm pretty dull, too."

I heard a clattering voice from the inside of my chin.

"-!?

I no longer had to look at my face. Because the characteristic voices that engrave that intense impression were not yet snuggled away by the ears.

"I can't believe a kid like you can see through the shadows."

A big body that rocks a lot of crap and eventually comes out.

"... hey," brave man. Sorry to interrupt. "

Light black skin with deep carved out-of-phase. Brown dreadlocks, dark beard. And the rise of pirate-style.

"You..."

The worst of the possibilities I could think of - biting my teeth just from the inside into that fact, while I speak the name.

"..." stripping (highwayman) "- Howell Roberts...!

The most unwanted person here right now - the leader of The Explorer Hunt (Red Lamb) - was there.

"I'll be right back."

The glance of the big man, who nodded at Eagle Deep Friends, gleams in the sword swallow.
