The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[Glug. Are you awake already, Western? Wake up. We've got dinner ready.]

Italtar, or Edie, who was sitting guarding the exit of the cave, glances back at you.

You grope around and pick up a small stone and throw it toward Edie's back.

The boulder was shot in the tail by Edie.

“Don't call me that. ”

[The commander is shy. Glug.]

Mmm.

I still have no energy in my body.

I laid down and held out my hands and asked Edie.

“How long have I slept? ”

[I slept for about three hours. Glug. Isn't the big machine a long sleeper?]

I've been asleep for three hours, obviously.

If he hadn't summoned Edie, he would not have slept properly for three hours or ten minutes.

No matter how tired I am, I cannot sleep in an environment where I am not comfortable because of my insomnia.

When you do, you have to take a sleeping pill and force yourself to sleep, or wait until you pass out and fall asleep.

Thank you for being Edie.

The summoning of the lion was certainly an amazing skill.

There was a limit of 5 times and a need for soul-bearing items, but that was great considering the constraint.

Summoning the dead to life is certainly a power that cannot be gained without the power of God.

After you've grown up, and at higher altitudes, if you can summon a stronger being through the summoning of a lion, you'll see a really big effect.

But now I have no regrets for summoning Edie with a lion.

It was really powerful for me to have someone with me in a situation where I needed to stay on stage for as long as the 12th floor to ensure safety before I took a break.

You can make better judgments simply by talking and talking to others.

In addition, loneliness and loneliness, which are eating away at the mind, are also lessened.

The first time she was summoned using the lion summoning skill was on the eighth floor.

I simply needed bait to get the enemy's attention, but she was much more capable than I expected.

Not just combat strength, but an unruly Lizardman's calm and calm personality helped.

I didn't seem calm at all when I was on fire in the fifth floor boss's room, wanting to make me western.

Having continued to talk and understand each other since then, we are now quite close.

She said to Lizardman that virtue as a spouse is only strength.

The stronger you are, the better your spouse will feel.

No distinction between men and women.

According to the character of the Lizardman who respects and follows the strongest, it is worth rejoicing in being seduced by an opponent who is stronger than himself and rarely refuses.

The biggest reason the entire Lizardmen covet strength and hone their skills is to mate with stronger opponents.

When I refused her courtship for that, she was furious without understanding me.

With an objective amount of power, she was definitely stronger than me.

Now that the power advantage has been reversed, the situation has changed a little.

Since the choice to mate with Lizardman was with the strongman, Edie, who was already rejected by me, was no longer obsessed.

In fact, the other Lizardman I met on the fifth floor had such tendencies that it was easy to understand.

I explained to her the concept of man.

Courtesy involving coercion is treated as a crime, and humans do not welcome mating with non-humans.

I don't think so, considering the beautiful heretics like the Elves in the fantasy world.

For now, I explained that.

Edie made a very, very sad tea, but ignored it.

Since then, I've been doing well as a subordinate, rather than as a colleague.

Sometimes he talks about the West, but now he talks about it like a joke.

Idi approached me one day and gave me a thin lump of meat.

I put it in my mouth without thinking, knowing that I could score six points as usual, but it was raw meat.

“Ugh... What is this? ”

[Think of it as a meat loaf and eat it. The commander is poison resistant anyway. Glug.]

Fortunately, the meat was not uncomfortable to eat, whether it was mostly drained of blood or the original site.

Compared to orangutan meat, it was much more edible.

[This is Lamborg's meat that fell in front of you. I fixed it right away, so it'll be good to eat.]

I think the weasel monster's name was Lambourg.

“Edie, do you know a little bit about cucumbers? I think that's the name of the place. ”

[I don't know. Glug.]

Edie's voice, filled with sorrow, conveys the meaning of her words.

It is not that he does not know about the cucumber, but whether he knows about the cucumber or not.

After agreeing to work together as Edie and a colleague, I asked her a lot of questions.

How I got into the tutorial, what the role was, what it was before.

I asked a lot of questions.

And Edie failed to answer most of the questions.

When she tried to think of the answer to the question, she said that she was light-headed and didn't think of anything.

It's like you're painting something white on top of your past and you can't see it.

Whenever I became like that, I no longer tried to uncover her past and the identity of the tutorial in her sad appearance.

All she could tell me was that she had some insight into the past and knowledge of her own skills.

I couldn't think of anything in detail about the tutorial.

Hmm…….

Seeing that he knew the name of a monster named Lamburg, he may have known about this area in the past.

[Glug. What's the plan? First, I want to know the objective.]

First, I briefed you on the information and clear objectives here.

[Then I'll clear it as long as I stay calm for 25 days in this cave. Glug. This is my favorite stage. Glug.]

What do you like?

[Glug, glug.]

Idi does not look back and answer.

“You won't be able to clear it right away. We can't clear it because of the remaining time. ”

[What do you mean it's impossible to clear?]

Told me about the current time and the time needed to clear.

[As expected, the commander is unlucky. Glug.]

It doesn't mean I'm unlucky, it sounds like I'm unlucky.

Anyway, now that this is happening, I'm going to abandon the urgency and focus on growth.

I explained to Edie the recovery skill I got this time.

[I see. It would be good to learn more about that power skill. If you focus on growth in relation to that skill, you won't see it as a complete waste of time. But first, we must ensure survival. Glug.]

“Yes, it is. We should use this stronghold as our territory and hunt down the inhabitants around here one by one. And then there 'll be no one lurking around. ”

The people of this forest are all wild animals and monsters.

Above-level predators will all have their own territory and will never leave the area.

[Glug. Occasionally, there are those who want to move or take over someone else's realm, but that's definitely the way it works.]

[However, if we are too active, the top predators who make this area their territory may come.]

I think it'll be okay.

Messy bastards won't last long with me and Edie, and at worst, they can just run away.

The top predators, unlike orangutans, are more likely to be single individuals.

Above all, this forest is vast. Very much, very wide.

When I climbed the cliff, the forest spread to the end of the horizon in either direction.

Meeting a predator powerful enough for us to escape won't be easy.

[Glug. Will you move right away?]

“No, it's sunset. Let's start at dawn tomorrow. ”

Even Edie can move without being greatly ensnared by the darkness, but it's just that level.

I don't want to put myself at risk fighting nocturnal monsters in the Dark Forest.

You're still less tired.

“Let's test your recovery skills. They're circling the magical circuits. I need a perimeter around them. ”

[Got it. Glug.]

* * *

I spent time operating the magical circuits until dawn.

However, there was no noticeable response from growth or sphere skills.

Do I need to focus for a longer time……. Maybe we were wrong.

We'll try again later.

[Glug. We're ready. Come out quickly, Captain.]

I rushed out of the cave.

And I saw a slightly different landscape.

What you can see are traps hidden between the bushes.

Traps and pits using vines and sharpened branches.

I don't know about anything else, but those traps are amazingly good at finding them.

After entering the tutorial, I suffered a lot.

Not only the trap, but the floor around the mouth of the cave is covered in ash.

“What is this? ”

[I dried a fly called Kikimu and ground it. If you spray it around because you don't like animals in these forests, you won't be able to get close enough. Glug.]

No. When did you do this?

Grinding? There's no such thing as mortars.

In these humid forests?

When did we set another trap? Is it possible to do this on time?

[Glug, glug. I can do it.]

I was a little embarrassed when I saw Edie's smile with a lot of proud emotions.

I wasn't expecting this from Edie.

In the meantime, her role has been to simply fight alongside me and keep me vigilant while I rest.

I honestly told her my feelings and complimented her.

Her tail, which began to shake from side to side with my compliments, made me anxious, but ignored.

[Glug. Now let's go hunting.]

You follow her strangely reliable figure into the woods.

* * *

He said, kicking the corpse of a monstrously shaped beast like a wild boar that had been exposed to radiation.

“Hey, how can you hunt so well? ”

I didn't expect to succeed in hunting so quickly.

It's not looking for monsters in the game, and it's not easy to find and track a hunt of this size in this vast forest.

No, the chance of encountering them in the first place is quite low.

[Glug. I was banished by my own people, so I always had to hunt for food by myself. Thanks to this, I have a lot of hunting experience. Glug.]

I complimented her a little too much for the dark history of Edie's sudden emergence.

Edie was delighted with her gluttony.

[How do you intend to continue hunting?]

“I hope so.”

[What are you going to do with this guy? If you slaughter it and leave it in a cave, it will take too long.]

“Let's just leave it here. Our plan is to hunt down all the dangerous monsters around here anyway. Hunting will be easier when there are people sniffing around with the scent of corpses and blood. ”

[Glug. Got it.]

Yidi, who answered briefly, shredded the corpse of the Boar Monster and dug it up.

That way the smell of blood will spread more quickly.

“Edie. From now on, I'm going to look for prey. And you take the battle. ”

[Glug. I don't mind, but isn't that an inefficient share of roles?]

“Yes, but I wanted to acquire some skills related to detection and tracking. ”

One of the perks of being chased by a herd of orangutans was that they didn't follow me simply by relying on my footsteps and smell.

I flew across the stream using the wings of the Tallaria, and through the valley, I knew where I was and followed them somehow.

I'm guessing one of those orangutan hordes had some sort of detection or tracking skill that pinpointed my location.

If so, this is a very useful skill, so I hope you get it here.

In the meantime, I've been able to locate my enemies simply by relying on vision or hearing.

The effects of sensory enhancement and amplification skills have never been lacking in improved senses.

However, this move did not work on opposing Pokémon with skills such as Hidden or Invisible.

If only we had higher levels of invisibility orangutans and weasel monsters hiding in caves.

I wish I had the same level of skill without my skills.

It would have been really dangerous.

It would have been hard to notice their wits, and they might have died there.

I needed a solution to those skills.

The skill you're about to acquire may be the answer.

In the process of obtaining the skill, you may be able to use the effects of the recovery skill, so leave all other tasks, including combat, to Edie.

First, I learned basic hunting from Edie.

She suggested learning her skills and knowledge first, saying that searching for prey is very inefficient.

How to determine the route of the hunt, how to identify and track the area or route of the hunt through the footsteps or sides of the hunt, and how to kill and approach the prey in the forest.

Edie explained her hunting knowledge in detail.

She seemed to be good at teaching.

Afterwards, I applied my magic to Edie's advice.

I practiced moving more discreetly with increased control of my mind through the operation of magical power.

In addition, I learned how to use light magical powers to understand the situation around me.

It wasn't easy at first.

If you try to spread your magic, the density becomes too heavy.

In this case, the magical force was not only shaped but not spread far.

It took me a while to get used to spreading magic and feeling the surrounding situation.

It was a high-end magical operation that increased the level of the Magical Circuit skill until it was acquired with this skill.

Over the course of two weeks, we grew up hunting for the monsters around the cave.

[Magic Circuit Lv.11 was obtained.]

[Detection Lv.3 has been obtained.]

[Stealth Lv.11 has been obtained.]
