- Plant a bomb inside the 'Safe Zone'.

When I heard about your operation, Nishino, I doubted my sanity.

Because 'Safe Zone' is what we need to protect. It is not strategically possible to throw it away on purpose from ourselves. It's not a sanity shack.

'Of course, this is a last resort. Sora's braces, militia backup shooting, and burning by gasoline and gas tanks - I would never have gone beyond that if I could have stayed with these. But... I really don't think that's all I can do to get rid of that monster.'

……

I did feel that too.

That is an authentic monster.

"The Hand" that hasn't shown us yet, or the possibility of "evolving" in the middle of the worst battle. It would be less likely to go as planned.

'But don't you have to go out of your way to throw away the biggest advantage for us?

'But this is the only place. Where can Peonie and other monsters keep you undisturbed, unnoticed and bomb you in large quantities until the showdown?'

Nishino said so, continuing his words.

'I asked the mayor before. Whether it is possible to reset the' Safe Zone '

'... did you tell me?

'Much reluctant, though. In conclusion, it is impossible to reset in the same place. Level restarts from scratch with reset. And we need an hour of cool time to set up a' safety zone 'in a new location.'

"Hmmm......"

Is it impossible to reset at the same location as the level reset? Plus an hour of cool time. Should that amount of risk be taken for granted...... No, you should think of it as' to that extent '. It's cheap considering the broken performance that monsters can't come in.

'Roots are important organs for plants. Peony should have the same properties as Trent, and more than a plant...... If we can blow up his roots, I think it will definitely help shape the battlefield.'

'... but it's also a big risk. If we fail, we will be wiped out. "

'That's a line that doesn't sound like Mr. Kudo. If we don't win, we're doomed. "

'... that's right'

It is a true argument.

In the first place, if we don't win, we'll be wiped out.

Then take the risk. But you should increase your chances of winning a little.

Oh, my God. Soon, Nishino, I was put on your word.

Well, I don't feel bad about it.

And Nishino-kun, you're mistaken, but I'm always safe first.

'By the way, if we were to carry out that operation, where are we going to put the new' safe zone 'candidate?

'What about the militia base in the neighboring town? It can accommodate even this number of people over there, and it saves you the hassle of resetting' coordinates (points) 'because it's your original destination.

Cheng Cheng, if you're there for sure, you're going to have to go collect militia weapons, and the hassle hasn't changed much.

With Momo's "Shadow Crossing" and Aka's "Coordinates (Points)," it would be possible to travel large numbers in a short time.

'If the battle starts, Peony will have to focus on this one too. If it's about an hour, you shouldn't have to go unnoticed. Of course, it's best to be able to take them down by then...'

"Hmmm......"

Put your hand on your jaw and indulge Nishino in your operation.

I think it's a good operation. Success will help shape the battlefield.

But...

'If you can, you want another hand'

'... you mean?

'What about this? For example, let the acorn be' pseudo 'to the bullet...'

Thus me and Nishino boiled the operation further, and the operation was decided.

Me and Sola will take the lead first.

Next, militia backup fire and explosions from petrol and gas tanks, and pursuits by Sora.

In addition, Mr. Ichinose shoots a mock-up acorn in ammunition at Peony and causes it to accumulate in his body.

And if the attack so far fails to bring them to an end, abandon the 'Safe Zone' and the residents move to the neighbouring town.

He directs Peony and sets up a pursuit with a double blast by Aka, who reprogrammed it into a bomb in the body of the bomb he planted.

This is what it looks like when you put it all together.

Everything is outline, an operation like a chunk of risk.

If the gear goes crazy at all somewhere, it's all a bust.

I broke a bone to convince Fujita and the mayor.

"- But I did it."

Me and Sola stare at the sight that spreads beneath our eyes.

In the place where the safety zone was located, there was a peony whose roots were heavily decided and which was still likely to collapse.

An unprecedented blow.

Our abandoned 'trump card' did reach Peony.

- If only one person were missing, this operation would have been impracticable.

Were it not for you Nishino, I wouldn't have thought of this operation.

Without Mr. Ichinose and Aka, we couldn't have built a large number of bombs or assembled weapons.

Without Momo, I wouldn't have been able to travel to the neighboring town in a short time.

Without Kiki, I couldn't disable Trent's jamming skills or notice the underground space that was convenient for planting bombs.

Without Sola, the operation itself wouldn't have made it in the first place.

Without the militia, we couldn't have manipulated or trained weapons.

Without Fujita and the student chairman, the residents could not be persuaded or have overall control.

This is how Peonie and I are crossing each other now because we all have our strength together.

"Almost there"

No doubt Peony is dying.

Signs of feeling are also clearly weaker than at the beginning.

Just a little bit, we're really close to winning.

"That's why I'm not alarmed"

Last hand.

I felt it in earlier battles, Peonie's steeple.

If you hit Sola's brace there, we win.

"Sola, can we go? One more blow. I need you to hang out somehow."

……

…… Sola, what's going on?

I haven't heard back from Sola.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Then all of a sudden, Sola seized her belly and suffered.

"Grr... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

"Sola!? Hey, what's going on? It's okay."

"Gu...... Konna Hour Ni......!

Sora collapses and Sora falls.

"Ahhh! Ahhh!

…… (sieving) "

For a moment, Aka disarms the pseudo and inflates the flesh.

Also activate "Shadow Control". Manipulate the 'shadow' made on the ground and change it to a spider's nest-like shape.

"~ ~ ~ ~!"

The double cushion of the acorn and shadow manages to fall to the ground intact.

"Oh, thank you, Aka"

"... (sighs)!

"Faster than that, faster, that way," Aka refers to Sola by poking a part of her body.

Oh, you're right.

"Sola, it's okay."

I rush over to Sola right away, but she hasn't heard back.

I'm just holding my belly down, repeatedly breathing rough.

Didn't you still have Peonie's poison?

That's what I thought, but it didn't feel like Sola was suffering from poison.

(This is something else -... hmm?

So I felt uncomfortable.

That was too mighty. The discomfort felt because now the signs of Sora have weakened.

Stay in Sola's stomach - for another sign.

No way, this is...

"Sola... are you... pregnant?

……

Sola doesn't answer.

But another sign I feel told me it wasn't a mistake.

"Why not! Why didn't you tell me something so important?

"Shut Up Le... Humane Style Ga...!

Murray, Sola gets up and stares at me.

"Problem Ni... Early K Instruction Se...!

"Sola......"

It was obvious that I was being forced.

I guess the birth is close.

Signs in her abdomen are intensifying, and signs of Sola are getting weaker and weaker.

Then you can't shoot a brace.

No, even if I could, it would definitely affect childbirth.

How do I......

"Giggy!"

"Gah!"

"Juta! Look at you!"

Giant marimos gather under us like that.

"Fuck! Don't interrupt me!

Immediately I will unlock the item box and crush the giant marimos before approaching.

But...

"Geez!," "Food Vasello," "Eat Vasello," "Eat Vasello," "Geez," "Kete," "Geez, Geez, Geez!" "Eat Itai," "Eat Vaselo," "Eat Vaselo," "Eat Vaselo," "Eat Vaselo," "Eat Vaselo," "Eat Vaselo," "Eat Vaselo," "Eat Vaselo!

The giant marimos grow in numbers, as if they were laughing at us.

There are countless giant marimos drifting overhead as well as on the ground.

They opened their mouths simultaneously, releasing their tongue-tips at us.

Meanwhile, Nishino and the others were at the militia base in the neighboring town.

"It's about time the bomb you planted exploded..."

"Oh, you and Sola, are you okay?"

"Trust me, you'll have to wait. Until the battle over there is over, we will guard this place dead."

One hour left to reset 'Safe Zone'.

The Nishino must defend this militia base at all costs.

"Mr. Nishino, all non-combatants evacuated inside the building."

"Looks like the monsters have been positioned somewhere they could have broken in."

"How are the people inside?

"I'm as calm as I am creepy. Looks like the chairman's skills are working perfectly."

"... I hate to admit it, but it's still a handy skill at times like this..."

The move from City Hall to the militia base, as well as the residents' persuasion, proceeded surprisingly smoothly.

It would also all be thanks to Tenka's 'charm' and her talking skills.

Again, Nishino is reminded once again that no one is out to her right to fan a large number of people.

"The monsters in the neighborhood seem to have been cleaned up beforehand by the chairman's siblings."

Furthermore, her twin siblings were very good when it came to combat.

After Peony left, he drove away all the monsters that had gathered around the militia base in the past three days.

"But after all, it looks like the survivors haven't been identified yet."

"I guess so..."

There was not a single living human being at the militia base, nor in the civilian houses and buildings around it.

I guess Peony ate it all up.

(You must have come to our town because the bait is exhausted...)

It was Nishino, who now realizes why Peony came to his town.

"Anyway, all we have to do is defend ourselves here after. Everybody, get in the mood."

"" "Roger that!

Weapon up and perimeter alert Nishino and the others.

It was still to be said, 'they' who appeared before them like that.

"Geige."

"Gehih."

"Giggy, giggy, giggy."

A huge marimo about a meter long.

Peony's created monsters - the "abundant eating rais".

"I knew the seeds had arrived around here too..."

In earlier battles, the species that produced the Koitz and others had been fired from Peony in all directions.

Apparently the seed had reached this area as well.

The numbers would be considerably smaller than over there, but still a cautious opponent.

Anyway, if you want to get close and hurt yourself, you will be exposed to the venom properly.

"Guys, stay away from the detour. Fight at a distance and focus on defense!

Under Nishino's direction, the students challenge "Toyota Egg Rai".

Nevertheless, most of our members are proximity types, starting with Rokkawa. It would be a tougher fight than a limited range of means of attack.

In the meantime, it was Goshogawara who came forward.

- This is where I come in.

"Goshokawahara-san...?

The Polar Marutai is held in his hand.

For a moment, Nishino stared surprised at what he was willing to do,

"Ugh! Ugh! Stretch out, whoa, whoa!"

What a "stretch" the moment Godokawahara wielded the Marutai.

"... what?

"Giggy!?"

To the sight, not only Nishino, but even the "Toyoshi-eating Rai" in front of him raised his voice of surprise.

After stretching for more than ten metres abundantly, Marutai smashed together several 'richness eating rais' and scattered venom around them. Regardless, the venom doesn't reach all the way to the Nishino.

……

Together with the pompous Nishino.

In the meantime, Gokogawahara smiles at what it is and Maruta returns to her original size with a shrug like a vacuum cleaner cord. What is this?

"Oh, um... Goshokawahara-san... what about that Maruta?

"Is this it? I made it from that peony branch, Marutai. I've processed the excess branches for Ichinose, but apparently they've been stretched in the process of turning them into weapons."

"You must be lying!?"

It's amazing! It is Nishino, who accidentally went in with vegetables.

Ba and looking back, looking at Ichinose resting in the back,

"No, I'm surprised, too, Marutai is amazing" I was reacted to.

No, but no... eh.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Around the upsetting Nishino, Goshokawahara wields the Marutai, decreasing the number of "Toyoshi-eating Rais" more and more.

It was a very surreal sight, watching from the side as an irresistible Osama swung round and round.

"Phew... Phew... Well, you're almost there"

Five Kawaharas soak up the sweat on their foreheads and set up a marutai.

"Toyota Eating Rai" had already considerably reduced its number.

Neither the remaining individuals, nor the old man in front of them on the boulder - have you noticed that Marutai is a threat, or try to come any closer than necessary.

It's a wish and a fulfillment for the Nishino people.

(… fifteen minutes have elapsed. All right, this pace can defend you enough......)

Forty-five minutes left to reset the 'Safe Zone'.

There are no monsters around, only a few 'richly eaten rais' remain.

- I'm fine. If we go at this rate, we'll be fine.

Everyone would have thought so.

But that's why - I shouldn't have been 'alarmed'.

I should never have let go because I saw 'Hope'.

That gap - you don't miss the bad intentions of this world.

"Gaggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Unexpectedly, a "Toyoshi Egg Rai" set up a special attack on Goshogawahara.

Goshokawahara stretches out Marutai and tries to crush this.

The same offense as earlier.

But at the moment when Marutai was about to crush me, one of the countless mouths in "Toyota Egg Rai" raised his "voice".

"- I - Sun..."

"Huh...?

Perfectly, the movement of Goshogawara stops.

"What is it, Goshogawara?

"No... I think I just heard something...?

"Voice...?

In contrast to Nishino with an astonishing look on his face, Goshogawara was strangely concerned about his voice.

He stares at the richly eaten ray, which is about to be crushed by the marutai in front of him.

But he shouldn't have cared about that voice.

He should have smashed the "Rich Eating Rye" right in front of him without getting lost.

"- Cruciillo... Otousan..."

"Huh!?"

That was a distinctly different kind of thing from the voices previously uttered by "Toyota Egg Rai".

Bogus and some of the "abundant eating rais" in front of him thrive, and eventually the sole turns into a person's face.

"Painful yo, help te...... Father......"

"You... wish I, kill Shi..."

Things that surfaced on some of the "Toyota Egg Rai" - it was the face of a wife and daughter that Goshogawara once loved.

At that moment, his memories that were supposed to have been taken - memories of his wife and daughter - came back to his brain.

- Forty-two minutes left to reset the 'Safe Zone'.
