Before the operation, the first step is to treat Sora and Aka.

If you two don't do something about the poison you got from that giant marimo than it's a necessity of the operation, nothing will start.

"What do you say, Sola?

"... effect ha no ina"

I tried giving Sola both the HP and MP healing pills (potions) that I had stocked in advance, but they still don't seem to work.

Normal healing pills (potions) have no detoxifying effect...

If so -,

"Hey, get out of the way"

"Huh?"

Turn around, Shibata was standing behind you.

There are other high school students. They've been rushing over here as well as Rokka.

Get away from me, Shibata, you're getting close to Sola.

"See how he's doing with my skills. So get out of the way."

... Skills?

Oh, well. Shibata, your profession is' doctor '.

You did say you also had the skills to see the patient's condition.

Cheng Cheng, then Sora's poison too...... hmm? Shibata saw us for some reason.

"... they won't eat you if you touch them, will they?

"It's okay...... maybe"

"Maybe don't say anything!

I knew he was a little scared. When I looked closely, my shoulders were shaking a little.

When I look at Sola, I nod cocklessly.

When I told her it was okay, Shibata was obviously upset.

"Well, I'll touch it. -" Examination ""

When Shibata touched Sola's wound, that part glowed pale.

Heh... that's the first time you've actually seen it.

Is that Shibata's skill?

Patient Conditions - Skills in finding out if the condition is abnormal in game-style terms. Symptoms of illness, wounds, and how to cure them also seem decipherable depending on the LV. Convenient skills.

"Pa, healers are mandatory for parties,... Ho ho"

"... nappy, that line you say in that dying state? Look, I'm gonna give you some recovery pills."

"Oh, thanks..."

Ichinose, don't bother being impotent to penetrate...

Even so, I'm seriously looking into Sola's condition, Shibata. Really, the gap is amazing when I look at you. I'm a doctor with that look.

"... now, yeah, but in middle school, I was serious about it. It's just, well... so am I. Around high school, I'm starting to get in a fight with my parents, right? So if you noticed, did you feel that this was happening..."

Nishino gave me an explanation next door so that I could answer my question.

Um... you haven't read your mind or anything, have you?

Then Nishino-kun laughed.

"I wrote it on my face."

Oh, really...

"... now that I think about it, I wonder why you were fighting over such a boring thing. Compared to this situation now, it wasn't a big deal at all. But for us then, it seemed like everything in our lives... and it seemed stupid."

"... it's for everyone. At that time of year..."

Watching Nishino hold his fist all the time, he reminds me that his previous casual routine was truly irreplaceable.

Talking to Nishino like that, it looks like Shibata has finished his examination,

"... hey Kudo - can you get me gauze and disinfectant?

"Huh? Yeah."

I take what I'm told out of the item box and give it to him.

"In conclusion, this poison is not the type to stain your body. It's the type of thing that rots where you bathe and rots your surroundings little by little. So if we cut off what we touched, it won't get any worse."

Does that mean you're gonna cut the wound?

Sora's poisoned area is the tip of her tail and leg.

Sure, hanging up isn't fatal, but it's that easy.

"- Naraba Problem Nye. Hum. '

"Hey, Sola!?"

"Huh? Dude, what are you doing!?"

"Grr......!

While we were worried, Sora used her nails and just cut the wound. The face distorts in agony.

"Yes, I'm not telling you. Stop the bleeding immediately."

"Damn you, you dragon!

Shibata immediately removed the thin thread-like object and sutured the wound area.

Then the wound blocks and the blood stops in no time.

It was awesome, but is that also a skill?

"'Suture' is a skill. A skill that not only stops the bleeding by creating threads for hemostasis and stitching the wound with it, but also makes the wound heal faster in itself. By the way, the arm of the suture itself is his talent. Originally he was clever."

"Hey, Cheng Cheng..."

Nishino will supplement you as if you have read my thoughts again.

And is this okay with Sola for now?

Afterwards it's aka...

"... (sighs)"

And when I thought about it, the acorn that solved the pseudo shook at my feet.

"~ ~ ~ ~! (sighs)"

And pound! and pop a strangely cloudy little chunk out of the acorn

"... Could this be the poisoned part?

"… (sieves)" Kokuri

Aka trembles, "That's right."

... This girl detoxified herself. Aka has been too good lately.

Whatever it was, we got Sola and Aka's first aid.

"- Well, then, we'll do as we're told."

"Yeah, watch out for Mr. Kudo, too"

Re-examine the operation and we'll start the operation again.

"Sola, I asked you to."

"Aah."

Across Sola.

Now I'm alone.

From here on out, we act separately from you Nishino.

When he tries to fly, the 'shadow' at his feet trembles and Momo shows his face.

"... kun"

"... it's okay, Momo. I'll take care of this with Sola, so you asked for Ichinose, right?

"... wow"

Momo nodded and replied forcefully.

Next I see Ichinose, who can be held by Roppo.

"Well, Mr. Ichinose, I'm coming."

"... Yes"

"Mr. Aisaka asked for it, too."

"I'll take care of it. Natsu and everyone, let me protect you till time."

"That's comforting."

Roku Hana thumbs up gleefully.

In the back, Shibata and Goshogawara snort forcefully to show it.

...... I'm fine. Together, everyone should manage to endure 'an hour'.

So after that, it's our job.

Hold the reins and send a signal to Sola.

Spreading his wings, Sola rose to the sky.

A large green army spreading beneath your eyes.

And I say away to the giant tree that swerves beyond it.

- Peonie, let's settle this.

Sora barks.

The atmosphere trembled to meet it, and countless giant marimos and large armies of roots hit us.

- belly gutter......

Peony was starving.

- Fever... Pain... Body Gaji Lanai...

Hurt, burning your own body.

A burning body, an incurable pain, evokes Peony's 'self', who slept twitchy.

"Geez!," "Food Vasello," "Eat Vasello," "Belly Gattta," "-Shi," "Geez," "Kete," "Geez," Geez, Geez, Geez! "" Eat Itai, "" No Da, "" Eat Itai, "" Thailand... "" Eat Itai, "" No Da, "" Eat Itai, "" Eat Itai, "" Eat Itai, "" Eat Itai, "" Eat Itai, "" Eat Itai, "" Eat Itai, "

A myriad of dotted splits around - "Toyota Egg Rai" speaks for his will.

It's been a long time since I've used this skill.

If I could, I didn't want to use this skill.

Because the body created by this skill is part of Peonie, but independent of Peonie.

Unlike spreads and roots, the nutrition eaten by the body for this minute is not reduced to peonies.

On the contrary, if you eat it, you self-destruct it on your own and pollute your surroundings.

Peonie is like a pest who eats up his fields and wastes them.

Skills that create your own identity full of contradictions.

That is "Rich Eating Rai".

But still...

- Irritable Rasul......

Peony was frustrated.

So much so that I have to use skills I don't want to use.

- Aitsura, out of the way.

Two mighty signs I feel from the front.

One is a person, the other is a dragon.

From Peony's point of view, two signs are strangely strong and persistent in the fledgling presence of a feather worm.

They interrupt their 'meal'.

How could you do such a terrible thing?

I just want to eat.

I just want a glass of rice in my stomach.

How can you get in the way of that?

- Dakara, consumers su.

Array is no longer 'bait'.

It's a clear 'enemy' to me.

The enemy has to be eliminated.

Rest assured, to eat a full tummy of rice.

- Food Belluno, get out of the way, Suruna!

Shivering his entire body, Peony 'moved'.

To ensure the elimination of enemies.

- It moved.

I was staring at the sight without blinking.

Mountains move - would such an expression be appropriate?

No, that giant is bigger than a mountain.

It is the giant that moves forward as it shakes its cheats and body.

- Trent's top species can be 'moved'.

That's information I knew beforehand in The Right to Question.

Before I met Peony, I also saw the sight when fighting 'with flowers'.

I knew it. I knew.

But still, the sight in front of me can only be described as a roll.

"That's a hell of an intimidation (pressure), this..."

As for speed, it's about the same as people run.

But moving at that speed are giant trees crossing the mountain. I'm not half intimidated. Besides, I feel hostile and murderous.

"Though... you saved me a lot of trouble"

"Um......"

The biggest problem for us was how to 'move' Peony.

I didn't expect that concern to be resolved first.

Then all you have to do is proceed as planned.

Hold the reins and send a signal to Sola.

"Copy," Sola flipped herself and "retreated."

- Running, Gerna.

Peony was furious again.

Countless branches, twigs, roots, leaves, and "richly eaten rais".

We're using all of that to attack, but our enemies aren't dead yet.

- Our Taranai.

All of it will be flushed, done, and deceived.

Using all this hassle, why not hit it?

Peony didn't know why.

If Peonie had an objective 'thought' of the battlefield, she would have realized that the enemy was only 'evading'.

But I don't notice that change in peonies to the extent that I've regained some 'self'.

- Avoid Kerna!

In the first place, Peony's ability to regain his' self 'is in itself a' miracle '.

Skill 'bulimia'.

The effect is increased experience gained and "complete mastery" of the demonic stones eaten.

Demon Stone is the crystal of magic that occurs when a monster dies.

The Demon Stone remembers all of its experience and skills from birth to death. By taking it into your body, you acquire the magic, experience, and skills of a dead monster.

However, 'aptitude' is inherently present in the acquisition of skills.

For example, Momo gained the skill 'Roar' for eating 'Rufen's Demon Stone', but if Aka took this in, she could not acquire 'Roar' in Aka without 'Voice' or 'Voice Organ'.

In the same way, even if Momo ate "Mimic's Demon Stone," he would not have been able to acquire a "pseudo" that would change the flesh itself into something else.

This is because each of them had a high level of aptitude for their skills, so they were able to gain that skill by ingesting Demon Stone.

But that law doesn't apply to Peonie.

Skills' bulimia 'disregards one's aptitude and can transform all the skills and experiences a monster had in his lifetime into his own power.

Peony can use both Aka's 'pseudo', Sola's 'brace', Momo's 'manipulation', and even Kazuto's 'item box'. Because in the past we had eaten organisms that used similar skills.

In fact, at the time of confrontation with Kazt and others, Peony had a skill count of over two hundred.

If they had used all of this skill, they wouldn't have beaten the Cuzzuts.

Powerful and irregular skills - that's 'bulimia'.

But that's also why 'the price' is huge.

- Ah, belly gutter...

The owners of 'bulimia' are constantly attacked by hunger and thirst.

The hunger is tremendous and no matter how much you eat it will never be filled.

The presence of the eater and the "hunger" so unrememorable that even the acquired skills always accompany the owner. And this' hunger 'cannot be prevented even by resistance skills.

- Belly Ga... Reduced Ta...

Therefore, the owner of "bulimia" has no "will".

Just act to satisfy the "hunger" without hesitation while the "appetite" continues.

Whether you have dozens, hundreds, or thousands of skills, you will never be able to handle them fully.

Yes, now, until this moment.

- Aitsura, get in the way!

Peony's 'ability to think' comes back, ruled by an unfailing 'hunger'.

To interrupt my meal and bury those two who even gave me the 'fear of death'.

Think, think, think.

How can we kill them?

How can we put him down?

With a thin, smug self, Peony thinks desperately.

- And that's where Peony noticed a certain discomfort.

-... alle?

That's "uncomfortable" only slightly because "self," and "thought," came back to life.

Those two blind forward - a place where there were a lot of signs that looked delicious.

- "Wall" Ga no Knutel......?

'Invisible Barriers' that covered the area around City Hall.

That was completely gone.

――……

I wonder why?

A place I've never even tried to get in before.

A place where there were so many signs of delicious food that I couldn't get it in.

But now the signs of that 'wall' have disappeared from the place.

- Nande...?

I don't know why.

But there must have been plenty of those two people in the Invisible Wall.

The slight 'self' I regained whispers to Peony.

This is a good opportunity.

- Eating teyal.

He's one of them who interrupted his meal.

I'll eat you up with no one left.

"Geige!" "Food Vaselo" "Eat Vaselo!

"Food Wassero!" "Eat Wassero!" "Food Wassero!" "Eat Wassero!

Prior to Peonie, the Toyota Rye and the others collapse into the Safe Zone at once.

Things that get past you. Peonie also hurries to reach inside the 'safety zone'.

……

So Peony realizes further 'discomfort'.

-... Junai?

Those delicious signs of bait are nowhere to be found.

The more you look for signs, the more you look for yourself, the more mushrooms in the Safe Zone.

There were no sons.

"Gee......?

"Ge?"

"Food wa......?

My own people, Toyota Lai, are also raising their voices in surprise.

-... Nande?

Running away?

But where to?

How did you do that in the first place?

One question after another springs up.

Confused peonies are hit by further developments.

"-" The Art of Huge ""

I heard voices.

Exploring the signs, far beyond the 'safe zone' - that 'giant' who had eaten so many here recently had appeared on the coastline.

- Ano giant da!

Peony rejoiced.

That's that giant I've eaten so many times over the last few days.

It was one of the few bait that would satisfy Peony's 'hunger' even in the meantime.

Kazuto was unaware, but for what was created in The Art of Huge, the body is not just an illusion with mass.

In order to maintain that giant, a large amount of MP - or energy - consumed by activation is contained.

In other words, for Peony, the giant is a luxury ingredient filled with enormous amounts of energy.

- Eat Itai!

Once again 'appetite' beats' self '.

Both the presence of the enemy and the presence of the 'invisible wall' shelves everything and Peony stretches his tentacles to the giant.

But...

- Tsukanai.

Wounded own body. Tentacles could not be extended to that giant in the less than full flesh.

If it's in perfect condition, we can explore the signs a few dozen kilometers away and reach that far.

Then it just moves.

Move your tentacles as far as they can reach.

Are you going to be overtaken by the Toyota Egg Rais?

Straight ahead, trying to get past the 'safe zone' that I couldn't get through until...

- It's over, Peonie.

……

I felt like I heard something right now.

And the next moment - about, Peony's giant swayed.

……

What the fuck?

What just happened?

――……

So Peony realized.

That my roots are sloppy.

―― ――

What is this?

Burning?

My roots are burning and choosing, both outside and inside, to extinguish charcoal.

That's not all. All around the root-spreading city hall is turned into a sea of fire.

The moment I realized that, a severe pain ran through Peony's body.

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!

"What do you say? How does it feel to have your body blown up from both inside and out?

I heard voices again.

Who the hell are you?

Yes, this voice - the voice of the enemy not the bait da......

"This was the only place I could definitely plant a bomb. Thanks to Kiki, there's plenty of space in the basement of this city hall - to find a great place to plant a large number of bombs. So for us, the challenge was how to direct you here, where a ton of bombs were planted. No matter how powerful and numerical it is, there's no point in hitting it."

Ouch, ouch, itai.

Painful, painful, painful, painful, painful.

"But that's not all you can do. I can't finish it. That's why I asked Ichinose to do his best."

We need to heal the wounds quickly... eat more... or...

"Fifty-four shots of a pseudo acorn into your body. The indigestible 'foreign body' does not come from that place, but is ejected from the roots once through your body. It's Trent's habit, isn't it? When we defeated Flowered and Trent, there were a lot of bones in the ground that could not be digested. I used it."

Desperately moving. Stretch your tentacles.

No, it won't arrive. I can't eat that giant.

We need to stretch more. Otherwise I won't be able to eat anymore.

"Aka simulated the bullet in the process of passing through the body, and now she has it simulated by the 'bomb'. It was tough. Our attack regulates your regeneration and circulation just as the outer blast overlaps the inner blast."

No, you can't do that.

I have to eat.

Eat more, eat more, eat more - …….

"So - eat plenty"

"A... aah...?

And the next moment - zdwwwwwwww! and.

With the roar, Peony's body exploded from its roots again.
