The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[No, I only follow the advice of the gods.]

Despite the constant provocation, the dragon cararine was strong.

Too bad. I thought that was a fair enough taunt.

[If you continue to insist and try to summon me, I have no choice but to correct your attitude.]

“Okay, okay. ”

They even threaten me.

“I'm not gonna ask you to fight. Come outside. ”

[Dislike.]

Are you scared again? I tried to ask, but I kept thinking that maybe the dragon was really angry.

I don't know if I'll be angry or if I'll show up here, but doing something beyond the crystal sphere will be very difficult for me.

I was worried because I heard him say he was going to decide the next stage soon.

“But we have to talk to her face. Come on, I promise I won't come. ”

[You're a terrible liar.]

Shit, it looks like it's leaking again.

I didn't think I was very good at lying, but I guess I couldn't hide the excitement of meeting dragons.

Or that dragon was sharp.

Fighting the dragon eventually had to give up.

I can't fight someone I don't even meet.

You emerge from the dark cavern with a crystal ball.

[Where are you going?]

Carrin asked through the crystal sphere.

Does this crystal ball not only give you a voice, but also give you vision so you can see the situation here?

“It's better to talk in front of a waterfall than in a cavern with the smell of falling bat droppings. ”

Karin did not speak Katabuta.

I took a seat in front of the waterfall, opened my inventory, took out my couch and tent, and thought,

This guy's a little upset right now.

Why not?

Sometimes I feel angry at the opponent for not saying anything.

Maybe it's just as quiet as usual, but sometimes I feel like I'm not talking because I'm upset.

That's what happened now.

Karrin doesn't say anything until he's finished preparing for camp.

I sat on the liver chair and picked up the crystal ball again.

And I asked.

“Is that cave your home? ”

Usually dragons live in hidden places.

The preconceived notion I had, and the legend I had heard from the 16th floor knight.

Besides, that waterfall cave was huge, except for being hidden.

The ceilings were high, and there was no meteorite to stand in the way of.

I smelled it last.

A delicate smell unique to lizards.

I knew him well because I had lived with Edie for a long time.

Of course, what came out of the cave was much worse than the smell of Idi.

At first, I thought it smelled like a cave, but then I thought it might smell like a dragon.

[…….]

Crystal sphere makes a sound for a moment as if to say something, then it is silent again.

When I said it, I realized I made a mistake.

Is that the cave? The question is, was that cave your house? I can take that as a question, but is that your house? I was able to accept it.

Karrin remained silent.

I thought for a moment about how to ease the dragon's foul mood, and decided to just eat.

You set a campfire and removed the food package from your inventory.

* * *

After finishing your meal, you go inside the tent and lie there staring into a dazed waterfall.

Fresh play.

It was a bad habit to eat and lie down immediately, but I was lying down naturally because I had been lying in bed for a few days.

Then the couple whispered quietly.

[Brave.]

Then I forgot my father and wife.

Once the stage is cleared and moved to the field in Kirikiri, Abu and Cedria are moved to the inventory.

Maybe that's why the couple were silent, but they didn't care.

[Warrior, is that really a dragon beyond the crystal sphere?]

[They say so.]

I felt anxious about my father and wife's voice, and I responded with a tone because he was speaking as little as possible.

[Could it be a lie?]

[No, you're not lying.]

I didn't think it was a lie.

The father and father muttered for a moment and said to me,

[Soldier, if that voice really is a dragon, you'd better suit the dragon's mood.]

Why?

[The dragons are so petty.]

The father and father told me stories of the dragon's pettiness for a moment.

The emperor of a certain empire named himself a dragon, and when the emperor died and the funeral was held, he was told that the dragon had come and whispered.

They were anecdotes that felt petty and exhausting.

It seemed I needed to ease the dragon's mood following the father and wife's advice.

I think the reason the dragon is silent right now is because of the cave.

I made a mistake and now I'm sorry.

I had already come out of the cave and laid down to eat and relax, but I didn't feel like apologizing all of a sudden.

“Hey."

I talked to the crystal ball.

[Something.]

Callie answered.

Thank goodness.

“You're not upset, are you? ”

[… No.]

“Right? You didn't offend me when you asked me if that cave was yours, did you? ”

Somehow, I thought that it would be no different from what I said next to my friend who was frustrated at the beginning, but I decided to continue.

“Of course, yes. Is that the only reason anyone's upset? ”

Oh, it's not human.

I made a mistake again.

Fortunately, Karrin did not point out that.

[Of course not! That cave is not my home!]

Karrin shouts.

This is unexpected.

Karrin denies that the cave is not his home at all.

That smelled like too many lizards.

Living a few cave slugs doesn't smell like that.

“Yes, I see. I also thought it was upsetting that you didn't tell me suddenly. ”

[I just had a lot to do!]

You said you couldn't lie to me before, but he was a terrible liar.

Contrary to his usual calm and quiet tone, he yelled angrily when lying.

“It must be a lot of responsibility to work for the vaccine and have a higher status than a normal apostle. Amazing."

He combined the words he had heard from Karrin and praised them.

It was a compliment without a castle, but I felt a little calm about whether I liked the dragon.

I was able to change the atmosphere with a compliment, saying, "Wow, that's amazing."

As I continued the conversation, I had one question.

This dragon was more open to challengers than I expected.

Compared to the apostles I had met before.

They did not conceal their sense of superiority.

Whether he was kind to me or helped me in the battle, the way he looked at me was unchanged.

So every time I see him, I bump into him.

This dragon was different from those apostles.

In fact, I think dragons have a darker disposition.

Is it because of the prejudice that dragons refer to themselves as great, blatant equations, and that they will look down on others with inferior humans?

I asked Karin about it.

[The world is changing. You can't hold on to an old-fashioned idea like that forever. A dragon may adhere to that attitude you speak of, but I do not.]

The world is changing?

[It became a world where those we called the lower class became transcendent and moved toward God. Can we affirm that they are inferior only to those of their race? The time has now come to evaluate individually, depending on the position of the individual rather than the faction.]

Karin spoke for a long time.

Maybe it's because I've been thinking about it deeply.

I listened quietly to the dragon.

[Of course, racial traits affect individuals greatly, and it's hard not to stick to their stalks. Usually it's right, and it's easier to judge. I'm no different either. When I look at you, my prejudice about the Humans comes first. But the world is changing rapidly, and I will also try to move forward accordingly.]

Whether he was taking it seriously or not, Karin's voice was very serious.

Hearing this story, Karin also felt like a dragon.

Now it seems to me that I also have strong racial preconceptions.

Edie pointed out many times in the past, but she still hasn't fixed it.

Most of the people I met while clearing the stage had strong racial qualities.

However, there were definitely other beings, as well as the general nature of the species.

No, when I think about it one by one, it was pretty good.

In my view of the diverse people I will face in the future, I have had the opportunity to rethink my biases.

And there was one more thing that worries me about what Karin said.

It meant that the world was changing.

“What do you mean, the world is changing? ”

Of course, the Earth is undergoing a major transition, but it was unlikely that a dragon belonging to a multi-dimensional vaccine would make a difference.

[I heard that you are also one of the first challengers to appear on the planet and enter the created tutorial.]

“No, I'm not talking about the changes on Earth, I'm talking about the changes in the world you're talking about. ”

[Not different. As your homeworld changes, so do my dimensions. The winds of change have just begun to blow. You won't need to think about it separately.]

Karrin's words sounded as if a monster from the source had just appeared, along with a vaccine and tutorial system.

Is it just that monsters appear like other Earths and tutorials are being established, or are the gods and systems just changing as well?

Asking for more details, Karrin draws a straight line there.

I told them that the change was happening, but didn't explain the change in detail.

[And the concept of time of change, as I said, will be very different from that of humans. See that.]

It's inevitable.

Life expectancy, history.

It would be even more difficult to believe if the temples and systems in their immediate origins and symmetries were established within decades.

I thought about what Karin said for a moment.

How this information affects me.

That's nice.

For my goals, things were more chaotic than already hard.

* * *

After breakfast, I organized the camping tools and sleeping bags.

Now that you've slept well overnight, it's time to start again.

[Do you want to go to the next stage?]

I folded the tent and nodded, putting it in my inventory.

[Then I also have to decide the stage that suits you. Is there some kind of evasive stage? If it is, I will see to it my convenience.]

What a pleasant thing to say.

I don't know if it's because we stayed together one night and became close.

“You need to lead and motivate a lot of people, or you need to excel at relationships. Oh, religious. ”

In my answer, Karin asked me why.

“Why, it's just awkward and uncomfortable. ”

I'm not so sure about that.

In fact, I am bad at leading or influencing people.

It was a stage theme that came out of the 40th floor several times, but I only forcefully passed through every important moment.

[Okay, let's see.]

You thank Karrin, and climb to the portal at the bottom.

“Go.”

* * *

The stage on the 56th floor was a great view.

Wide fields and strange coloured skies were noticeable.

And so was the crowd that gathered under the tower where I was standing.

“Apostle!”

“Apostle! Please take us away! ”

“An apostle of God! ”

The crowd you see below the tower is shouting something at me, one by one.

Seeing the crowd screaming at me with waves that looked more than a thousand units, I felt nauseous.

[Stage 56 begins.]

[Stage Mission: Understanding the Seed]

“... this stinking giant lizard bastard tricked me. ”

[I told you to be careful, warrior.]
