Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Toya's sword and shield were quite exciting to the extent the funds allowed.

It's gonna be me and Hulka's wall. In case they pull it out, there's probably no reason to get kettled here because I can't support it.

We spent a day training in that gear, and the next day we stepped into the woods where we'd never set foot before.

There is no need to look for the target dindle tree location, as Mr. Diola has told us. Dindle fruit as a reward, I was supposed to promise three, but it's so much better than searching through unfamiliar woods.

Compared to the outer edge of the forest, it is quite difficult to walk because people do not enter the back of the forest.

With Toya at the forefront, step on the descent, cut off the branches, and continue into the back as you make your way.

"But it feels a little subtle to use the sword I bought for this."

"Give up there. It costs a lot, and it will be packed. Besides, that broadsword, it doesn't have a big blade on it, so it's no problem, right?

Basically, the common sword in this world has a stronger meaning as a blunt weapon than a cut.

Of course, it's well trained, and for being sharply angled, it's nothing like just an iron stick, but only super fine demon swords and other levels of delicacies that say so can be shaken out and cut with span.

The knives used to dismantle daggers and daggers in this world come with solid blades, but these kind of broadswords are more convenient for adventurers whose ability to relay. I can't wash and grind every time I cut my enemies.

"Hulka, what about the enemy on the road? Do you want to hunt it and bring it back?

"Avoid it whenever possible. Pigs feel like hunting if they can afford to go home"

Copy that.

Thanks to the familiarity with the skills, the distinction recently made between subjects perceived in [Sovereign] has become a little more.

Since the scope of [Sovereign] also seems quite wide if it is concentrated, it is also possible to avoid encounters if it is about pigs.

"But if the subject is demonic, let's fight it. That's one of the purposes."

This time, one of the purposes presented by Hulka as a step-up.

That is the crusade of demons.

To be precise, the crusade of the demons of the human form "..."

It is the first step in responding to human enemies, such as bandits.

Few bandits appear in this area, but quite often in some places, so much so that people are more at risk of being attacked than demons.

"Bandits. You have that, this world."

That's what Toya sighs about, but in fact, it was just peaceful around us, and robberies are common in the original world.

"You're in the original world, aren't you? Hiccups are a kind of bandit."

It's not just "kill me, but take it away".

In some parts of the world, 'Don't even pull over with a red light. It's common sense that when you stop, you get attacked', and even when you go to the police, they say 'it's bad that you stopped' or something.

"Well, the fact that self-help is allowed is different from the original world."

If it's Japan, if the other person even kills him for robbery, he'll be guilty.

The requirements for self-defense are quite stringent.

"But you're human... can you do it?

"Well, for example, if a gorilla strikes, can you shoot him?

"Gorillas are so gripping... I'm gonna throw my cunt. But, well, it should be okay. I killed the bear."

It is the zoo gorilla that throws the cunt.

No, although I've never met a gorilla in nature.

"Then the goblins will be fine. Gorillas are closer to humans than goblins."

"When they say that, do they?

It's strange because I feel okay, too, when I can really compare it to that.

"In the first place. I say human, but yeah, is it good with human brackets? Isn't it enough to treat the beast like it's a piece of cake? It's just a little human ringing."

"Huh... Hulka, say it"

"Yeah. Because I, I think chimps and all that are evil to society. Cuttlefish, Ten Thousand Pulls, Bicycle Theft. I'm not saying" delinquent "or anything!

"Oh, I agree with you about bicycles and umbrellas! Seriously, I'm gonna want to kill you!

Toya snorts heavily at Hulka's words, but I agree with him on that.

More than the amount of damage, there will be an extra amount of hatred because of the inconvenience immediately afterwards.

If you're an umbrella, you'll get wet instead of the killer, and if you're a bike, you'll have to walk long distances and use buses and trains.

When I got home wet with my umbrella stolen, too, I looked at the river along the way and said, 'If there was a killer, I'd knock him into this turbulence!' It is what I thought.

"Yes, yes! It's all a crime, you just have to dispose of it crisply!!"

- I just said something even more painful, not to be outraged.

Well, there's a part of me that can't help it when it comes to Hulka.

Even without the familiar look of childhood, Hulka and her friends are often caught up in a lot of trouble just to get into a pretty cute category.

I don't have a problem when me and Toya go out together, but a lot of things get tangled up in a numb when you go out and play with just the girls. I've been a little out of touch with the police.

I also hear that Haruka sometimes had to stick her neck in order to help her junior year because of her sister-skinned appearance.

"Especially if he's a rapist. It's not worth leaving behind his genes!

You remembered something unpleasant, Hulka, who warps her face and heats up more and more.

Sure, I think humans who can't even have that degree of self-control are honestly evil.

But that's why you don't have to let the kid carry it.

Because there are also victims of having such a child.

"- Ahhh, Hulka. I generally agree, but kids don't get to pick genes, do they?

Placing his hand on Hulka's shoulder so that I could calm him down, Hulka also noticed that she lacked a bit of calm, coughing up Cohon a little awkwardly and turning away.

"Right, right. You said too much about the genes. But given the high rate of recidivism of victim psychology and sex crimes, you think physical sanctions are necessary. Honestly, isn't it a lot of fear that the killer who attacked you might be out there in just a few years?

Even if it calms down, it is still a little radical.

I know how you feel.

"(Hey, Nao. Hulka, what's going on?

"(Oh, don't you know Toya? A junior girl has been harmed before. Luckily, I was helped last minute... the junior girl...)"

"(Well, that's definitely a traumatic thing)"

Hulka was tingling for a while then and it was pretty tough.

I remember being pretty attentive and framed for being in a good mood, even though I'm not bad for anything.

"In the first place, before you say the killer's 'chance to start over' or anything, it's more important that the irrevocable wounded victim's 'irreversible life', right?

Well, if one's friends/family were harmed in a criminal's "opportunity to start over," one would definitely think, "If you'd castrated me," or "If you'd stayed in a cell."

In The Opportunity I gave Criminals, I wondered if her life had been destroyed.

"Ma, there's no such thing over here, so make sure you do, okay? If I lose, you will be killed, and I will be killed after I have been offended. Just keep that in mind and maybe you'll be okay."

"Uh, yeah. If I think about it, I'm starting to feel like some kind of bandit who's coming to kill me is going to kill me."

"Right. In a way, humanitarianism and human rights are also the arrogance of the powerful. If you say the extreme."

In a situation where you're dying, there's no way you can take care of criminals.

However, it is also different whether a decision can be made in the event of a sudden situation.

Given that, I don't think it would have been in vain to discuss it in advance this time.

◇ ◇ ◇

Well, we had that conversation...

As a matter of fact, happy or unhappy, I never met Goblin today by the time I reached my destination.

There was a pig-like reaction, but I noticed it beforehand, so I avoided all of it.

It took about an hour to get into the woods.

I was only asking roughly where it was, but I didn't hesitate to get there because the dindle tree was pretty high compared to the trees around me.

"... heh, this is..., I've been asking, but it's pretty expensive, isn't it?

"How much is there? It's more expensive than a condo, isn't it?

"Do you have more than 50 meters? I'm not sure."

The tree, which looked up by three people, was more than twice as tall as the trees around it.

If you stare at the [eagle's eye] and look at the tip area, you can see how many red fruits there are, so I guess this is the dindle tree and there's no mistake.

The trunk is quite thick. As an image, it is not as thin and tall as cedar, but as thick and snug as Nanki "Kusunoki"?

Then there's just the height, and the presence is tremendous.

I've seen Japan's leading Dai Nan before, but I wonder if it's more than twice the height and size?

"Wow. Are we both going up on this? I can't do this."

Yeah. I wouldn't have thought of climbing if I hadn't been an elf either.

Sure, it's expensive, but from the experience of climbing trees many times in the woods over the past week, it's strange that they seem to manage.

"But there's so much fruit out there, and no one's coming to get it? That would make a lot of money, wouldn't it?

"There are many dindle trees themselves, and the time it took to get here in the first place, did you consider it?

"Oh, I see."

About an hour into the woods. Considering the time from the city to the woods, the activity time here would be a couple of hours exquisite.

Even though after the second time it will no longer be necessary to pay for the undergrowth or to check the road, it is still far away.

or so, where I tried to stay, there is a limited amount that I can carry.

"And only a few people can climb this tree."

Was that also an assumption?

Rewardly, it's a rookie level, but it's hard not to be a job for everyone.

The Elves seem to have an excellent sense of balance on trees as a racial characteristic, which is relatively easy, but other species make it difficult if you're not so good at climbing trees.

"Plus, it's hard to bring down the fruit you took over there, isn't it?

Hulka says so, pointing to the top of the tree.

In a way, this seems to be the best neck.

It's too expensive to throw it off the top.

Tree branches get in the way, and I can't take more than 100 apples that are dropped from the roof of the apartment in the first place.

Even if I try to string it down on the bag, this also has branches, so I can't unload it at once and it will need to be relayed over and over again.

That would take time to collect and result in less fruition.

You mean we have a backpack?

The advantage of the backpack would be that both hands can be used and it is difficult to lose balance because it adheres closely to the body.

It is not Dada who is being used in the army.

"So, should I wait downstairs?

"No, just one would be dangerous, so you might want to climb the bottom branch as well"

Speaking of which, when we climb up there, Toya's gonna be alone, right?

Toya can be killed by herself if she's about a pig, but I feel like one of them is in danger in a place where she might get a first glance goblin.

"Bottom branch...... is that it"

That said, the branch that Toya looked up to was about 5 meters from the root - about the height of the roof of a two-story private house?

"Pretty expensive."

"Well, how are we gonna climb that far? You can't reach anything for as much as you want, okay?

No matter how much physical ability you've gained, it's just not enough to jump up to a 5 meter branch.

Near the root it is relatively straight and difficult to climb by hand with few irregularities.

If we get to the bottom branch, it seems that we can climb from there because there are many branches, but that's the hard part.

"Of course I'm thinking about that. Information gathering, of course, right?

Halka looks up at me and puts her little neck up.

... Excuse me. I was relieved to just ask where it was.

"Tools, I'm ready."

That's what Hulka took away, a long rope.

- That's all?

Then I'm bringing it too, right? Because Hulka told me.

"So, throw this!

Oh, you're weighing in at the end of the rope.

Hulka's thrown rope fell to the ground over the target branch.

"Take both ends of the rope and pull this like this, then pull it like this..."

The rope drawn with the shrug tightens cuddly and is tied to the root of the branch.

"All you have to do is climb up with this."

Hulka says quickly, or he scaffolds a slight irregularity in the trunk of the tree and uses it in conjunction with the rope to climb up.

"It's easy to climb, man. Nao, can you do that?

"Mm-hmm, maybe?

The original world couldn't do it first, but now I feel like I can go somehow.

"Whoa, look!

Oh, there we go. Reach next to Hulka in one breath.

Looks like there's nothing wrong with that.

"You can't imitate that to me. If there's a rope, can you handle it?"

Toya grabs the rope and pulls it a few degrees, grips it all the way, hits it, climbs it.

This is you. The one who climbs rope suspension.

Unlike us scaffolding the trunk of a tree, I lift my weight and luggage with only the force of my arms, so it is quite muscular.

"... hey, what do we do from here?

Toya, who reached the heavenly side of the rope smoothly, looked up at us like we were in a bit of trouble there.

Thin branches would grab it and climb up, but now we're standing more than 50 centimeters thick.

The rope drips underneath the branches, making it tough to move upwards.

We used trunk irregularities to move up...

I should have re-tied it to another branch up there before Toya climbed.

"I can't help it. Here, grab it."

"Sorry."

Reach out to Toya and pull up.

My strength is no big deal, but I can support about one person, and with the addition of the ability of the Beast to exercise, this degree is fine.

"Are you okay? Well, we're going up there..."

Toya is leaving a message here.

It will be free and tedious to wait on this branch for the next few hours, but it will be easier to climb to the top and harvest, and come down again, so bear with me.

"Oh, Halka, can I borrow your bow? And Nao's spear."

"Fine, Toya, you can't use it, can you?

"Well, yeah, but you can safely shoot me from here, right?

"The arrows aren't cheap, and I don't really want you to waste them... just set them up"

Toya tries to pull it off as they say, but she's kind of dressed up and not pulling it off well.

It's a bow for Hulka, so it shouldn't be so strong...?

"This is how you pull, not by the force of your arms"

As Harka told me, when Toya fixed it, it took shape about a few times.

I don't know if I can shoot an arrow well.

"Don't waste too many arrows, if you can, okay?

"Of course, we're not gonna waste it, are we?

"And don't be impotent just because you're free, okay?

"Rikai, Rikai"

Toya answers lightly, but I feel subtly untrustworthy.

I guess that's the same for Hulka. Frowning but giving up, I breathed and turned back to this one.

"I'm worried about something... well good. Nao, let's go."

"Ooh."

"Be careful, both of you! You two are more worried than I am, aren't you?

Indeed.

If I fall, I die normally.

Instead, there is less fear.

I waved gently at Toya and started going up.
