Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

From the next day I just want to go oak hunting again...... but even walking in the woods these days is making it a little harder to find the right oak.

We're already hunting about 50 of them, or the number of people is up to around 10.

I found about two at first and one every once in a while, but the number is growing and now it is. I guess that means the orcs are wise, too.

But when you think about the nests you've scouted before, there are about 100 of them, right? Oak readers are almost certain, maybe some oak captains. In that case, we can't deny the possibility that the oak leader will go hunting outside the nest, so we can't be alarmed.

"Hey, we've been hunting and dismantling quite a few orcs, haven't we?

That's how I walked in the woods looking for an oak, and as Yuki reminded me, I've said that.

"Hmm? Right. Is that it?"

"No, I quite appropriately left out the non-meat area, but I never saw that, I thought. What's processing it?

Speaking of which, walking in the same place the next day leaves little trace.

Sometimes I notice blood marks, but to that extent.

"In this forest, Night Wolf, you look like a bug."

"Wolf? Are you there? I've never seen it."

"Looks like he's here. It seems completely nocturnal, so it's unlikely that we'll meet in the woods during the day. It cleans the residue of the demolition, Zanza, you're a thankful being. Because you don't have to look at your rotten guts."

Speaking of which, I think it was in the material I read yesterday.

If you weren't so hungry, not many people would be attacked, did it say? I don't even remember the details.

"A forest cleaner? By mistake, when we fall in this forest..."

"You'll be cleaned, we will"

"I don't like that."

My own corpse is devoured with guts by wolves.

Imagine, it's pretty depressing.

"As far as I'm concerned, if you can eat it beautifully, you might as well still be that way. I don't want anyone else to see my rotten body."

"I see, is that some way of thinking"

I may not like to be seen with my own rotten corpse either. A girl would be extra. He's dead anyway, so I can understand a little bit of the idea that it's still better to be eaten.

"Of course, it's best to have them buried normally - no, it's best not to die,"

"That's right. I don't say ominous things. I'm going to live a long time and die on the bed. I'll take care of Natsuki."

"Is it when I die of aging? I can't even imagine it yet, but Hulka is an elf, right? If you think about it normally, do you live longer than I do? It would be a little reassuring if someone I know could take care of it."

"No, but, you know, an elf in this world has about twice the life span of a human being, right? Outreach, could we live longer? Look, because there's [skill robbery]."

"Oh, bonus characters that divide your lifespan!

Natsuki slapping Pong and Hands with that said.

Sure, the reality is right, but the truth is, you try to take someone else's skills at will, because they're inferior, right? Thanks to Mr. Evil God for putting a mine on me, I just lost the problem.

Maybe some guys thought I'd just use it against the bad guys, or something, but the guys I used against the Natsukis, well, can I treat them as bonus characters?

"Right. If the guy who used [Skill Robbery] is an elf, is there any chance I can get him to take a look at it? You know, life expectancy seems pretty remarkable in humans."

"Were you worried about that? Well, there doesn't seem to be a strict family registration in this world, and if you move, you won't have a problem. It's decades away, so I'll think about it then."

Really? If I lived in Japan for 200 years or something, it would be quick, but in this world, age is self-declared, so is it okay if I travel around the city? In terms of being able to reset easily, it could be an easy world to live in in a way for the detached.

"Hey, you guys, we're in the middle of a hunt right now, right? Don't talk relaxed, pay some more attention?

Toya, who did not take part in the one-person story and was vigilant around her, speaks so dissatisfied, but Yuki also opened her mouth a little dissatisfied.

"Uh, but there's no oak coming out at all. Right?

"Oh, that's refreshing."

Even when I was talking, the opponents themselves were always there.

Other than oak, pigs and goblins are sometimes caught, but there is no target oak at all.

"Want to get a little closer to the nest?

"But if you do, it'll be about 10, right?

So far, six when I've dealt with the most oaks. Me, Hulka and Yuki killed two of them in the first shot, and four of them fought each other in the melee. There was a little room in this state, so I think I can handle up to 7 or 8, but when it comes to 10, I feel a little dangerous.

"It's in the woods, so maybe even 10, right? I don't have to worry about being surrounded."

"Sure, the orcs are more disadvantaged by their location."

Orcs over 3 meters and us under 2 meters. In ease of movement, we obviously win. The width is completely different, so there's usually a situation where the oak can't even pass among the trees we can slip through.

The branches of the oak don't have enough room to swing, so the way they attack is limited.

The restriction itself is the same for us, but the severity of the restriction is different between our weapons that can be pierced and just trees whose purpose is to crush them with centrifugal force.

"Orc's nest, I'd like to crush it if it's possible..."

"There are at least 30 of them, right? If the offensive side isn't overwhelmingly advantageous terrain, you can't."

It would be possible to snipe unilaterally from the top of a high cliff or something like that, but this area is basically flat ground. Hulka performs good sniping from the top of the tree, but if he gets approached by an oak, he can't say he's as safe as he is on the tree.

"Why don't you try fishing for a group of about 10 and fight while you pull? You're waiting for the status quo to kill him, right?

The hunting method now is a pattern in which when you find a group of oaks, you approach them, wait for them when they notice this way, me, Yuki, and Haruka snipe at a distance, killing about two to three, or letting them be handy, and then bringing them into the melee.

Toya and Natsuki could cross each other even if they had two at a time, and I and Yuki could afford one, so they were able to hunt safely without getting hurt badly.

"As you pull, does that mean while you reduce the number with our snipers?

"Ah. Even if we fight too close to the nest, there's a chance that reinforcements will come, right?

"You're worried about that, too. If I do it well, I feel like I can handle it... Toya's opinion, what do you think?

Agreed is me and Natsuki. Yuki and Hulka are not so much against each other, he said.

"Well, let's do it! Nao, Enemy, Greetings"

"Got it. You're gonna get close to the nest, so be careful?

Exactly when you go to a dangerous place, it's lame to be chatting like that just now.

We keep our mouths shut and move closer to where the nest is.

And about 300 meters to the nest, an enemy appeared in my enemy range. The number is 11. The reaction is oak, but... I'm a little concerned.

"One, I have a strong reaction."

"The top species, the oak leader? Or more?

"Sure, according to the dossier, the oak captain was for 16, right? I don't think he's that strong."

"Are you an oak leader...... You want to quit Hi-kun?

As for the strength that can be roughly measured from the reaction, I also feel that it is not as strong for about 4 oaks. I'm still inexperienced, so I can't say for sure. The only way to figure it out in [Sovereignty] is if it's 'somehow'.

"I think I should do it"

"Natsuki... a little surprised, huh?

Haruka gave a slightly surprised look to Natsuki, who said so by holding the spear.

Slightly reckless Toya, mediocre me and Yuki, slightly cautious Natsuki and the most cautious Hulka. That's what our party looks like.

I'm also a little unexpected because such a nutcase claimed to fight the largest and most powerful enemies in the past.

"If I can't shoot this, I don't think I'll be able to shoot an oak for the time being. Perhaps you haven't acted in the following groups."

"That's a good chance. That's all I'm saying."

"I'll take the oak reader. You could get hurt, but you can even cure a fracture, right?

"Well, as long as we can avoid site defects, we'll figure it out."

Injury, huh?

Thanks in part to Hulka's policy of not dealing with strong enemies, the injuries he has suffered so far are to the extent of a precise strike and abrasion. The cut is about cut off with grass.

Need some experience getting hurt in this place too? - If I don't die, I want the premise.

"... I don't disagree either, but I want to get ready"

"Well, if you can avoid injury, I'd like to avoid it."

"Then let's put up a trap. Luckily, it's easy to do because you're not in the same shape as us."

Even if it's a trap, all you can make is about a pit. Yuki's magic works great.

Oak isn't that smart, so you wouldn't notice if you dug a hole and hid it on top of it with the right branches and leaves.

We install and mark the gaps in the trees through which the oak can pass so that we don't fall by mistake. If we run, avoid it and move on to a place that only passes at a person's size.

He also approaches a group of oaks while making a little outpouring on the ground as well as holes. As he approached while making appropriate noises, the path of the orc, which can be confirmed by [enemy], changed.

"I noticed."

"Now, let's move forward a little so we can lead you to the trap you broke."

Forward to a convenient place for an ambush and wait for the oak to come.

As soon as Oak's figure is in range, me and Yuki's magic, plus Hulka's arrow, flies. My magic wipes out the head of the oak without duplicating targets, as we meet on priorities and targeting positions in battle.

For starters, it's Fire Arrow, but the oak can be killed in one blow, too. Yuki is only about half the time, so she'll have to practice. This time it seemed to work, two oaks sank and one oak got an arrow on its head and squatted on the spot.

I usually wait here to confront the orcs, but this time I choose to back off.

The fallen oak gets in the way and hurries back while the subsequent oak is stopped.

"They're spreading and chasing us!

I hear Toya from behind, and looking back at her chills, an oak spreading from left to right is chasing me.

You're definitely an oak reader with the biggest oak you can see behind you. It's pretty compelling just to see it from here, huh? Natsuki, are you going to confront that one!?

At least I want to kill a few more by the time I get to the enemy. That way we can afford the magic job to cover us.

Running for a while, he stopped passing where he built the pit, attacking for both ends of the oak, which is spreading left and right. I defeated one again, but Yuki could not be killed, and there is a chase by Hulka.

"Retreat one more time!?"

"Let's do it!

With that Hulka voice we lay down our weapons.

It would have been easier if you'd chased me in a row, but just wouldn't it?

If they spread sideways, they risk being turned around if they do poorly. When that happens, Hulka at the rear is in danger.

"One more time! Fire Arrow!

It unleashes magic again on the orc, which was pretty close, but aimed at the head. It slightly deviated and stayed to take the left arm.

"Damn!

"Nao-kun, calm down"

Natsuki, who has so calmly hung up, stops his breath by sticking a spear in his pale expression at the head of an orc who has broken his balance by sticking his foot in the pit.

Natsuki barely changes his expression during battle...

"I suppress oak readers. After you, please."

"Whoa!"

Stepping on the fallen oak, Natsuki ran forward through the pit and cut it with a spear into the oak leader's leg, which was approaching to the right side.

Toya, by contrast, slaps his sword into the neck of the oak where I flew his arm and heads right to the two behind him.

"I'll cover Natsuki! Yuki, Nao, the other two are ok!?"

"I'll do something!

I roll out to the left, Yuki rolls out to the right. And the other two are on the right.

Yuki shouts so with an iron bar, but is a little anxious.

I slammed a spear into the head of an unarmed oak, still slightly breathless, and hurried toward Yuki.

"Come on," Fire Arrow "!

Yuki's confronting oak has two arrows stabbed in his body and his face is half burnt. In contrast to that oak, Yuki is towed with iron bars, but less than half the height of the oak, Yuki is likely to be easily crushed and scared.

Release "Fire Arrow" with a speed priority to the approaching oak behind it, but it is far from fatal, prevented by arms.

"Yuki! Are you okay?!?"

"I can stand it! But early cover, I hope!

Slipping between the oak and Yuki and calling out with a spear, it was that answer that came back.

I have successfully treated the stick with iron bars, but I can't afford to use magic or just inflict fatal injuries on it. In the first place, attacks with iron bars prevented even Toya from passing damage to the Vipe Bear. I don't think Yuki's assault will go through with any more orcs.

"Do something about it!

Put up a spear and stare at an almost intact oak.

It's okay, I should be able to kill you on a skill level. Believe in the talent of spears, me.

You realize I unleashed magic, orcs with sticks in both hands so you can be a little wary.

Stop it, because even if you're shaken with one hand, you lose a lot of power. With Yuki in the back, I can't even avoid it badly.

"This is a must-win place to start!

Make sure to turn around to the left side of the oak to move quickly and stick the spear in.

The moment I thought the tip of the spear stabbed slightly, an oak arm came down with the stick switched to my left hand.

"Whew!!"

The moment the oak elbow is tapped in, a spear pattern that makes a light noise called peculiarity and breaks lightly. And a stick coming towards me to soak it up.

My body twisted slightly and shielded my left hand, but rose with an unpleasant sound that echoed from my arm.

"-!"

He cuts off the screams that are about to leak, grabs the branches in his sight and pulls his body up on the tree all the way up.

It was a pretty acrobatic operation, but I manage to succeed and avoid falling defenselessly in front of the oak.

- Good thing I'm an elf! Probably would have fallen without that sense of balance, this.

The orcs were unexpected in my behavior, too. I keep the stick shaking up and it stops working a little.

"" Fire Arrow "!

Stick out your right hand and hit the head of the oak at just the right height with a full "Fire Arrow" and wipe your head off.

Take your eyes off the oak slowly falling back and look at Yuki in a hurry...... oh? That little Yuki is not doing well with the oak attack?

Even with the lifting, it's powerful enough to fly me over a tree. Even if it's technically possible for Yuki, given the power to shake it down, does it keep you from doing so well? And it sounds pretty good - and it doesn't!

"Yuki!" Fire Arrow ""

I give it back to you, and I call Yuki and cast my magic at the oak.

Fortunately during my misfortune, I was able to move on a tree, so the rays go through.

Although "Fire Arrow," which reached the oak the moment Yuki lowered, deviated slightly, he blew his neck about half to create a stunning fountain of blood.

"Thanks! But dirty!

I bleed quite flashly when I wiped my head off, but I'm not so concerned about the relationship of blowing it from front to back or falling right back.

This time, however, because it was halfway there, or it took a while for the oak to fall, which is extra flashy. Thanksgiving and complaints fly at the same time from Yuki, who was bleeding because of it.

"Excuse me! Forgive me!

What can I say, but I blew Oak's head right in front of me, because I'm worse off than Yuki!

To be clear, my arm hurts, my blood is uncomfortable, and I feel a little bad because I wasted my magic. Even a pinch is awkward if you don't calm down and make sure you get as much power as you need, this is...

Looking over to the battlefield, Toya has already shot one and this is abandoned because she is able to handle the second one without any problems.

The problem is Natsuki and Hulka confronting the oak leaders.

I wonder if giant oak leaders are hard to fight just in the woods, some tree branches on sticks as thick as one turn over what the oak has won't be an obstacle, and swinging arms will snap if they are some trees.

Nutsuki has also done considerable damage to the oak leader's legs, but far from fatal injuries, thanks to scattered branches of trees, the movement also lacks glory.

Speaking of Hulka headed for cover, he's dealing with an oak that he caught up with later - the first one Hulka attacked - but although his body has several arrows stabbed him, he hasn't been able to attack his head, which becomes a steep point because the rays are hard to get through.

If you retreat a little, you're likely to be able to attack, but if you do, the oak may turn toward Natsuki, or you won't be able to make a melee. I was in such a situation.

"Yuki!"

I instruct Yuki to attack the oak with the trick "gesture," and I target the oak leader.

I feel like I'm moving a little faster than an oak, but there's no big difference.

However, I feel that the leader is attacking with some skill, as opposed to the impression that the oak is just rampant, when I look at the response to a nutty attack, etc.

"As powerful as it is, increase your speed..."

Magic is an image. I concentrated a little, and the moment the oak leader's gaze turned the other way, I unleashed Fire Arrow.

Probably 1.5 times as fast as normal. Aimed at his head. That pierced his left arm, which the oak reader had put up.

"Come on!"

Though I rounded that arm by about half, my head was intact.

"GOOOOOOOOOO!!!

An oak leader who shouts in pain and turns his angry gaze at me.

Toya, who finished the oak from behind, cuts it off, but unwillingly steps out toward us.

Shit. My left arm's been hit, so I just have to jump, but I have bad scaffolding around.

... stepping stone on the body of an oak?

"Nao! At the same time!!"

When I turn my gaze to that voice, I see Yuki cleaning up the handy oak, pointing her bowed Hulka and gaze this way, and holding her hand toward the oak leader.

"Whoa!"

Exactly 3 seconds after the answer. Meetings have been held on the timing of each situation.

Me and Yuki's "Fire Arrow" and Hulka's arrow go to Oak's head, and at the same time Natsuki runs in.

Further, the moment Toya attacked from behind and caught Oak Leader's attention, the attack concentrated on his head, stitching a gap in his right arm that sheltered his face, and Natsuki's spear pierced Oak Leader's throat.

Shortly afterwards, the nutsuki, who twisted the spear all the way and then pulled it out to the side, drops wide back, and blood erupts from that wound.

Still, he was an oak reader who shook up the stick in his hand, but it never waved down, and the giant slowly fell to the front.
