The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life

97. Difference between trees and forces of concern

Leave school and explore the city.

Nevertheless, the increase in the number of members does not change what we do.

Level up and raise supplies.

The same goes for food for supplies, but I want heavy machinery and scrap cars for vs. monsters if I can.

(I don't know because I consumed quite a bit of it yesterday in the Dark Wolf battle...)

Ordinary monster opponents can collect and reuse it again, but not again if swallowed up by that Dark Wolf 'darkness'.

Thanks to this, the mass attack bullet is cute.

Exactly the natural enemy of an item box attack.

Invalidation of secrets by sense of smell is an incompatible opponent.

For once, while Mr. Itinose and the others were resting, I recovered the rubble from the school and the heavy objects in the vicinity, but I don't feel comfortable with that. Numbers are power.

In case you run into a large army of monsters, a herd, I want you well prepared.

Therefore, even while walking in the city, I steal Rokka's eyes and store scrap cars, vending machines, broken poles and block pieces in the item box.

"... oh?

As I continued to move like that, I had an eye for things that were unexpected.

It's a 'giant tree' growing through a house.

The mysterious tree that's been growing there ever since the world went crazy.

"Something about this' tree ', haven't you grown up again...?

"... so to speak, yes"

Mr. Itinose nods at my words.

It was originally a huge tree with dozens of meters, but I feel its trunk is getting thicker.

(All the monsters distracted me and I didn't really look at it, but this tree is probably a mystery too...)

This tree had appeared equally suddenly the day the monster appeared.

It grows all over the city and exaggerates its existence.

What the hell is this tree?

"... but it's strange, isn't it?"

"What is it?

Mr. Ichinose glanced over the trunk of the tree,

"No, because such a big, unusual plant, if it's true, can't help but be concerned... somehow, if you don't stare carefully like this, you won't stop worrying about anything..."

"Uh, sure, maybe so"

Rokuka snorts at Mr. Ichinose's words as well.

I agree.

I hadn't even stopped caring before.

I couldn't think deeper than that to the extent that I thought it blocked my way or disturbed me.

But on second thought, that's weird...

Monsters are unusual, but even this tree is unusual.

I've been thinking a lot about monsters, but why would I think 'I don't care' when it comes to this tree?

Yes, it's like 'they think so' -.

(... maybe)

Does this tree have any skills, too?

Distract yourself from consciousness - like Mr. Itinose's "Inhibition of Recognition," for example.

... Possible.

Even wildlife and insects have levels and skills.

There is no reason why that doesn't apply only to plants.

Not to mention, this tree is the one that showed up with the monster.

It's weirder to apply it to common sense.

Seriously?

What do you mean, if you slash down this' tree ', you get experience?

……

For a moment, I was driven by the urge to try, but I immediately reconsidered.

Such a big tree, it's a lot of work to slash it down.

Even a chainsaw may have to be used to take time, but the sound may be loud and attract monsters, and it is usually more efficient to look for prey in 'Sovereign' if you want to take that much time.

Besides - the moment I wanted to cut this tree, I felt 'nasty'.

That's from "Pretty Bad Levels," too.

Maybe he also has skills for interception.

I won't do anything unless I set it up here, but if it's the type of thing that activates the moment you're harmed, it would be wiser not to get your hands on it.

"- What do you want? Want to hang up a little to try?

And so much thought and thought returns to reality.

Rokka-chan was trying to get close to the tree with her handful of twigs.

I stop in a hurry.

"No, let's not. I just slashed it somewhat, and I don't think I can handle it.

There were more reactions to 'Sovereignty' than that. Let's head that way. "

"... are you a monster?

"Yeah, it's probably goblin. The number is four. One of them shows signs of Hob Goblin."

That changes the look on their faces and puts them on alert.

We're headed to someone who's had an 'enemy' reaction.

And 'Consciousness' moved from tree to monster, at that moment -

"... hmm? Is that it?"

"What's up?

"No, I feel uncomfortable..."

"Uncomfortable?"

What is it...?

I think I was thinking something, what was it?

I can't remember.

Were you thinking about 'what'?

"... no, nothing"

Well, if you forget, I guess it's not enough to care.

The trees squirm behind my back.

When we heard the sound, we followed the scene.

Discover three goblins and one Hob Goblin.

I was leaning against the wall and lacking in relaxation.

"You're after me."

"Yes."

"Ugh, good luck."

Mr. Ichinose puts up a gun, and Roppo puts up a gun.

"Mr. Itinose is a backup shooter, Mr. Aisaka is coming after me."

Copy that, sir.

"Rikai"

Then I look at Momo and Aka.

"Wow."

"... (sighs)"

Looks like we're both in a good mood.

"Okay, I'll be there!

As Aka simulates into a weapon and Momo lurks in the shadows, I dash.

At the same time, Mr. Ichinose pulls the trigger.

Along with the firing noise, a whole goblin's head could be played.

"Gah!?" "Giggle!

"Gaaaa! Gaaaa!

The goblins are suddenly panicking and upset that their people have been hit.

In that gap, me and Momo's "Shadow" instantly wrap around the goblins and restrain their bodies.

The binding power of enhanced 'shadows' is far greater than before.

So if we can do more...

"Giggy-giggy!?"

The goblins couldn't stand the 'shadow' restraint and were crushed as they were.

"You've earned experience."

All right.

Now all that remains is Hob Goblin.

He seems to be enduring something that won't crush him, but that seems to be the best he can do.

Step in, approach at once.

Aka simulated into a weapon, slashing its neck off.

It would be a moment if we used the heavy machine, but we also have Rokka's eyes, and we decided to take them down normally here.

Plus, I'd like to increase my proficiency in "swordsmanship" and "steeple-point poking" at all.

"You've earned experience."

The demonic stone rolls and the voice of heaven sounds announcing the end of the battle.

The battle was over in just a few seconds.

"Okay, you're done. Good day, Momo."

"Wow."

Praise - and Momo snuck in, so I'll give him a good compliment.

Uri Uri, is this a good place? Hmm? There you go.

"Wahoo, wahoo..."

Momo is also letting herself feel comfortable by narrowing her eyes.

Huh, cute. It's soothing.

"K, Mr. Kudo! Me too! I want to too!

Mr. Ichinose also seems to want to moff.

Momo is cute. I don't have a choice.

I can't help it, I'll give you this place.

This is the measure of society.

"Fluffy, fluffy..."

"Wahoo..."

Mr. Itinose is happy to stroke Momo.

Happy that Momo was comfortable with that stroke too?

Everybody's happy. Yeah, it's good.

"Is that it? Mr. Aisaka, is something wrong?

When I looked behind me, Rokka looked at this one with a stunned look.

What's the matter with you?

Does she want to stroke the momomo, too?

No, it's not like that.

"... Aisaka-san?

"... Huh? Oh, no, nothing! Nothing, yeah."

"... Really?

Fine.

Hilariously, when I saw Mr. Ichinose next door, she was leaning her neck, too.

I just haven't stopped moffing my hands.

"Uh, well, shall we go next?"

"........................... right"

Mr. Ichinose seemingly regrets it and really seemingly takes his hands off Momo.

Momo is cute. I don't have a choice.

Momo will roar his throat with regret, "Khun," too, but understand me.

It's important to raise the level now.

Well, let's say we look for the next prey.

We started moving again.

Rokka thinks as she looks behind her walking in front of herself.

(This is awesome...)

Earlier sights burned into the back of my brain and I couldn't leave.

That's right.

Because the moment I laid down my weapon and now I was about to take a step, the battle was over.

(Um - I didn't see your move at all...)

I'm not talking about going too fast.

Noticed, the goblins had their bodies pulled a thousand pieces by 'Shadows' and Hob Goblin's head was dancing through the universe.

From the skills I was taught, I thought it would be strong, but I didn't think it was going to happen this far.

(You said level 18, didn't you? Why is it so different when you're only six different from me...?

Rokka still thought she was stronger.

It was the highest level within my peers, and my status is up considerably.

Power and agility exceed forty.

Zombies and goblins won't be opponents anymore, and even without Nishino's support, even Oak and Shadow Wolf opponents have enough power to fight alone - yes, I thought.

But it's still up there.

(I wonder if I've become one of the most outrageous...)

I couldn't help but think so.

At the same time, it makes me feel terribly small to be hiding from such an amazing person or my best friend who's finally reunited.

(I guess I should be honest with you... No, but you can't do anything to talk about it)

So what do I do?

Troubled Six Flowers. But there is no answer.

She doesn't like to think about it originally.

Soon her brain overheats and puffy hot air comes out.

Mm-hmm, and in her troubled brain, the voice of heaven sounded.

"- I received an email."

"... Huh?
