The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[Cute.]

Yes?

[It's cute.]

[Go, If you suddenly do this to me....]

[No, not you.]

* * *

[The 19th car begins.]

[19th ed 0: 00 a day]

As soon as a new car announcement message appeared, I was ready to head to the 19th floor stage.

Park Junga, Kim Min-hyuk, etc. will be busy caring about the new arrivals for the new car.

I didn't have anything else to say, so I decided to proceed with the stage attack right away.

Come on, let's go.

I've been feeling refreshed in the past few days.

[The God of Adventure is anxious.]

[The god of slowness cheers you on.]

[The God of Duels is worried about you.]

[The god of dedication grieves you.]

No, they said I was fine. Why do they keep doing that?

I've been flying those messages every few hours since then.

You turn your back once, and stand on top of the portal.

Let's go fresh.

The 19-story stage that entered through the campfire room was a bustling forest.

The ceiling of the dense forest with tall trees is covered by branches of trees and leaves with no sunlight.

The branches of tall trees were all stretched above the height of the man, so the traffic was neither inconvenient nor obstructing.

It wasn't a wide field of view.

With a little fog in it, the air is cool and damp.

Fortunately, the ground was sufficiently hard.

It's a relief that it's not a muddy floor.

It was not a wholly pleasant environment, but it was satisfying to be able to smell the fresh air that smelled grassy.

[The god of dedication grieves you.]

Oh, come on. Stop it.

I ignored the message of a terrible god and turned my nerves around.

What are we supposed to do here?

Usually you will notice the theme of the stage before a message informing you of the stage's clearance conditions.

However, the theme of the stage on the 19th floor is not very clear.

A dense forest.

To put it simply, it was a small animal that was watching me behind that wooden column and trembling.

What kind of animal does that? It doesn't run away. It doesn't even fight back.

He can't even hide properly.

The tail protrudes from behind the wooden column.

Could it be a lost pet, not a wild one?

You try to get closer, but you stop thinking you're afraid of being swayed.

Instead, I spread my magic and looked at the animal hiding behind the wooden column.

The animal had a brown fox tail, as you can see.

On your tail... a person?

Surprisingly, it was a person who was hiding behind a tree.

Look at his ears and tail. He's a Demibeast, not a man.

Kind of like the Kirikiri.

The reason I initially considered it an animal was because the tail that appeared behind the wooden column, but the soft growling sound was that of a wild animal and the smell was intense.

It's a little different from Kirikiri.

Kirikiri himself introduced himself as a rabbit, not a human, but in fact, she was more like a rabbit-eared human being.

But that looks like a human-shaped animal.

Low wailing, crouching posture.

Unless he was wearing a big green rainstorm, he might have mistaken himself for a wild animal after checking his body and face.

Then a message appeared.

[The 19th floor gate begins.]

Description: Guide, have you ever been lost in a dark forest? I hope not.

Terrible rumors are spreading about Greywood Forest lately.

That's the rumor that ghosts are coming out to eat people's livers from their ears.

There's a child in the center of that forest who needs help.

Lead your child out of the forest.

[Clear condition]

1. Escort the rained child out of the forest.

2. Your child needs to be alive.

It was a simple message.

Though the tone of the message may seem slightly different from that of the other floors, it is not a problem.

That means you can babysit that guy hiding over there.

Somehow Kirikiri taught me a few tricks when I caught a cold.

Ha.

I sighed without knowing it.

I can't take care of anyone and do what I do.

Never done it.

Hmm... What should I do?

If it doesn't feel right, let's just summon Idi.

“Ugh……. ”

How am I supposed to take care of him, anyway?

You sound scared of me.

More importantly, why is he growling about hiding in fear?

There's no point in hiding.

I tried not to contact anyone who was busy, but I couldn't help it.

I need help.

[Hojae Lee, 19th floor: Help!]

[Min Hyuk Kim, 30th Floor: Busy.]

Ruthless bastard.

I think it would be better to ask Park Jeong-a instead of Min Hyuk.

It needs finesse.

If Park Jung-ah asks if he's delicate, I don't know about that, but either way,

[Hojae Lee, 19th Floor: Got a minute?]

[Jung Park, 45th floor: Yes, of course. I have a minute to talk.]

I've never seen Park Junga tell me that she has time to talk for a while.

You must be very busy.

I went straight to the point without any need for Katabutana.

[Hojae Lee, 19th Floor: How can we reassure a frightened animal?]

[Jung-ah, 45th floor: I don't know. Isn't it common to tame food?]

[Hojae Lee, 19th Floor: Okay, thank you. I'll call you back.]

You exited the message window and removed the sub-space pocket from your inventory.

What kind of food do I have to seduce to work?

From the tail and ears, it looks like a type of Demibeast that resembles a fox.

It is said to be carnivorous or omnivorous.

Kirikiri, a rabbit Demibeast, is also edible, so it would be better to prepare meat and vegetables together.

First of all... It's a campfire.

Maybe it's cliché.

When I encounter a hungry person on the moors, I usually light a fire and eat fish.

There is no need to bother cooking, and the smell spreads while baking.

With the extra warmth of the campfire, it's worth establishing as a cliche.

It is a cliche with enough probability.

You gather the leaves that fall around you.

When I got up from my seat, the guy hiding behind the tree gave me a big jolt, but I didn't run away.

I found some moist leaves and gave them fossils and rubs.

Soon the leaves caught fire.

Next, you don't have to bother throwing sticks into the fire, blowing out your breath, or raising a fire.

I took the charcoal from my inventory and threw it near the fossils.

If the charcoal is burned to the ground before the fossil fire burns out, the Great Plague campfire is finished.

A step away from the campfire, the fishing liver pulls out a chair and sits down.

This is so camping.

I pulled the ingredients out of the subspace pocket.

The meat and vegetables, which were slightly seasoned, were inserted into an elongated skewer in sequence.

It was tidy, so it was easy to complete without any hassle.

After making two skewers, I put them on a campfire and started baking.

I picked it up and baked it with my bare hands.

After a while, I started smelling the aromatic insides of baked vegetables and the smell of grilled meat.

The smell was quite reasonable.

One of the barbecue skewers had the handle lined up on the floor.

The other one begins to eat with a hand in his hand.

The lightly seasoned meat is slightly greasy, but the insides are fierce.

I liked the crunchy texture best.

It was also rewarding to buy expensive meat.

The bitter vegetables in the middle gave it a taste of meat.

I haven't had a lot of appetite lately, but I was able to eat well.

I had forgotten the goal of attracting food for a while and was devoted to eating, but the goal seemed to have been achieved anyway.

There was saliva running down his mouth hiding behind the tree.

Now, um... what do we do?

His eyes flutter violently as he reaches out with another skewer still stuck in the ground.

Sitting on his back, he's halfway out in front of the tree.

You may think you can't see it, but I'm using my detection skills, not my eyes, to keep an eye on him.

This might need a little smoke.

“Well, hmm, oh, what should I do? I have some leftovers, but I'm so full. Oh, that's too bad, I'll leave it. ”

I did, but it was a filthy euphemism and ambassador.

It would be more natural for a kindergarten student to read a fairy tale.

The one writhing, drooling behind my back, is now completely out behind the tree.

I was still standing at a distance.

Let's wait a little longer.

While waiting, I took out the food ingredients in the subspace pocket and laid them around.

His breathing became more violent.

Half an hour after the wait started, he and I were pretty close.

It was slow, but it's coming out slowly toward the campfire.

It's almost one step at a time, but it's coming anyway.

As he approached, I decided to use my magical powers to examine his appearance in detail.

In fact, I was going to see it with my own eyes, but I think it will take me another 20 or 30 minutes to get to him.

He was a Demibeast with a tail and ears that looked like that of a fox, as we confirmed earlier.

He was wearing a big, dark, green rain, and his big, shining eyes inside the rainbow hood were adorable.

He was less than a meter tall.

I looked at his face, I looked at his kidney, I looked really young.

I can't say for sure it was any other species than Humans.

No matter how long he waited, he didn't want to come inside the street.

When I waited for more than an hour for him, I gave up and got up.

“Oh, I need to take care of some business. I want you to finish your skewers before you come back. ”

I left a spoken-word dialogue in the soundbook without a castle, and I avoided it.

While I'm gone, hoping he'll pick up or eat his skewers and other ingredients.

I wanted to wait for him when I got dizzy and build up my intimacy, but when I saw him drooling and shaking his hands and not coming, I couldn't wait any longer.

I walked through the woods outside of the campfire and continued to observe him with my detection skill.

I felt sorry for him.

Under his eyes, his mouth was drooling, but his lips were chapping.

His fingertips were covered in tiny wounds, and his arms and legs were flaky.

Nevertheless, he was unable to pick up the barbecue skewers in front of the empty campfire.

He was a scared little bugger.

* * *

About 20 minutes later, I could feel him getting away from the campfire.

Looks like I'm finally done eating.

You move the still bridge back to the campfire.

When I returned to the bonfire, I saw a surprising scene.

It was a little embarrassing.

There was meat and vegetables embedded in the barbecue skewers.

No, there was a difference from the details.

One less piece of meat and one piece of pepper.

Instead, the placement has been subtly altered, making it hard to notice a decrease in numbers.

If I hadn't counted the number of meat and vegetables one by one while making barbecue skewers, I wouldn't have easily noticed the difference.

Besides, it wasn't just the skewers that changed.

There are two long branches embedded on either side of the campfire, and a barbecue skewer rests on top of the wooden rack.

Thanks to you, the barbecue skewers are warm.

I don't even know if it's the right height.

Moreover, the ingredients that I had taken out of the subspace bag and scattered on the floor were organized by type and shape.

There were no missing or diminished ingredients.

At the center of the campfire is a circle of small stones.

To keep the fire from spreading.

The leaves around the campfire were all removed from a distance, and even the dirt marks on the bridge of the liver were wiped clean.

I turned my head and looked back.

The one who held out his head tightly hid behind the tree.

That's not a fox, is it?

I had to think about it for a while.

Can a starving, diminished creature eat a single speck of meat, a single slice of vegetable, and then put the food back down?

Even in the meantime, repaying others for their kindness?
