"It looks like a normal meadow, what is it? It doesn't look like it's going to end."

"Even if the front is normal, the back is a little unusual,"

Behind you is a supermassive rock wall.

Left, right and up, all pockets of our descended stairs in the rock walls stretched out until they were dark and invisible.

Whether the rock walls are actually stretched that far, or just looking that way, we can't make a decision.

"There's something like a wall you can't see on the edge, right? That sounds fantastic."

"Think of it as a biosphere and a high-performance monitor, even advanced science and technology seems to be achievable. You had experiments to live in space, right?

"I failed, but that"

It doesn't seem that easy to scientifically recreate the natural environment, and they have failed lightly instead of pouring in a lot of money.

It may be otherwise if it is simply 'living sustainably in a closed space', but 'creating nature' is likely to require further scientific and technological development.

"... is it going to rain or something, this hierarchy?"

"If the plants around here are normal plants, we'll have to get down"

I feel like I've torn the grass under my feet, very normal, I don't know the name, but I don't know the difference from the grass growing around Raffan.

Strangely enough, dungeon demons seem to be able to survive without food, so there is no zero chance of weeds in this area or 'growing without water'...

"You're also blowing the wind. You can also see sun-like objects... because if convection occurs, winds and clouds will occur... no, but it has to be so wide..."

"Fine, in fantasy banzai"

It was Yuki who busted out the thought of Natsuki, who began to worry.

But in fact, you're right. I can't scientifically explain how the dungeon works, so I can't help but take up this hierarchy and say this.

"... well, it's just useless to think"

"Yes, yes. You just have to accept it as it is, because it's a different world."

"In a way, truth. We use magic or something?

"Pfft, I can't say anything if they say that. What's magic? I don't care if they say so."

Our scientific knowledge is useful in this world, but it's never more versatile than having a factor called 'magic'.

No, should I say 'magic' to be exact?

Magic is the phenomenon of magic and magical energy in our bodies.

An object that drifts in the air and is believed to be a factor in the development of demons is a demon, and the object obtained from demons is a demon stone.

Magic is gained from its magic stones, and objects that use magic as energy are magic items.

Words around here are pretty sloppy, and the average person, including us, doesn't use them very accurately.

In Japan, radiation, radioactivity, and radioactive materials are similar to what they all say by flipping 'radioactivity'.

However, the difference with 'radioactivity' lies in the fact that the theory has not been consolidated because there are still many uncertain parts of the magic association.

For example, the effect expressed by the demonic props.

Is this magic or not?

There has been intense debate between the 'magic' faction and the 'not magic' faction, and so far the 'magic' faction seems to be somewhat dominant, but the overwhelming majority is the 'I don't care if it works' faction.

By the way, we're either the 'not magic' faction.

If you're going to define magic as' something that consumes magic and expresses its effects, 'the Hulkas say,' it's not a good calculation '.

If you skip the details and put it simply, do you think the output is greater than the input?

The Hulkas seem to have assumed that there might be an intervention of magic, but if you use 'magic' instead of 'magic', is that magic?

What is' magic vegetable 'in the first place?

I can feel 'magic vegetables' somehow, but is that something different from magic?

All in all, 'I don't really understand'.

"It's an undeniable fact that" magic "exists, even if you can't explain it."

"Right. In fact, even scientific civilization doesn't change that. Gravity exists even if Graviton is not found, and mass does not change if Higgs particles are found"

Maybe in the future thousands of years away, magic particles and stuff like that will prove it, but magic can be used with or without it.

Now honestly, I'm going to have to accept this strange environment.

"So, what are we gonna do? When you run out of roads, it's hard to figure out where to go."

Behind you is a wall but 180 degrees, free to head in any direction.

However, it is a mystery where the stairs to the next level are.

"No enemy reaction?

"Quite a bit, but that sounds less threatening. I wouldn't be surprised if I could see this with all the prospects..."

Mmm, [Eagle's Eye] activated!

... so it doesn't have to be activated at all times.

If you look closely, you'll have a motion reaction where you hit with [Sovereign].

"- Oh! Is that it! Wow, awesome pseudo..."

"What's wrong?

Yuki and Yuki snap their necks at the voices they accidentally leaked.

"The enemy is an animal like a smaller wolf. My body hair is green and slowly approaching. You see that?"

Point to the closest individual, the one who's at a visible distance without [eagle's eye], but only with his neck hanging apart from mine.

He says that what he sees and what he finds is a different matter.

An army gilly suit, or something like this, I guess.

The colors of the hair and the grass around you are very similar, so I don't notice if I don't observe them closely after I know where they are.

The black-nosed tip hides in the grass, approaching slightly as the grass sways in the wind.

"... oh, okay. That one!"

That's what I should say Archer, the first thing I noticed was Hulka.

Hulka, with his bow, quickly releases an arrow toward it.

Will my distance be about 40 meters?

The arrows released fly precisely toward it, but there is just too much distance.

The enemy, who would have noticed this way, jumped wide and avoided the arrow before the arrow pierced him.

"Ah! That one!

"Wow, I wouldn't notice that..."

"Without an enemy, you're scared, that enemy..."

He recognized the enemy's appearance besides Hulka by the motion, and raised his voice a little frightened.

Toya should have known the general location in [the enemy], too, but he didn't get to spot the pseudo.

"But you're thinner than I thought...?

I wasn't sure when I was lost in the grass, but when I saw him flying in the air, he was a lot thinner than I imagined.

Compared to the Howling Wolf encountered in two layers, it is about as small as one or two turns.

"Take it and shoot it. - Whoa! We're getting close at once!

The reaction of the enemies scattered around us, led by the guy who had avoided the arrows earlier, came towards us, whether Hulka's attack was an opportunity.

"Wow, come to understand! How many are there!?"

"12...... no, 13! They're approaching semi-circular!

With walls behind us, enemies approaching to surround us from elsewhere.

The enemy reaction is perfect. I know that, but it's actually pretty hard to tell.

"This is pretty nasty!

Or something like that, while firmly arrows are hitting Hulka.

It's just hard to find and the strength itself doesn't seem as good, and the enemy is just out of combat.

"It's hard to know where you are!

"Yes, you could get hurt if you get hit by accident"

I grasp the position of the enemy with the combined moves of [Sovereign] and [Eagle's Eye], slaughtering one at a time with the Fire Arrow, but Yuki captures the general position with the movement of the grass, attacking slightly more heavily with the Fireball Fireball, and Natsuki is accurately truncating what has jumped.

Thanks to [Sovereign], Toya doesn't seem to have a hard time capturing the appearance of an enemy who has come close, but because she doesn't have the means to attack ranged, she moves in close range to protect us as well as Natsuki.

"- What! Are they going to chain up? There's an extra coming."

If you try to broaden the range of enemies to Toya's voice, in addition to the first 13 - a few already left - more than 20 reactions are approaching from that further afield.

I'm not strong enough to feel the crisis.

"Hey, can I come in?

"Whatever you want."

"All right!"

Dropping off Toya's back running out with a sword, I set up a knife.

Haruka has also already placed her bow and Yuki has switched from magic to a knife.

"It's a pain in the ass if you notice it before you hit it, it's an enemy to such an extent that this is"

"I don't know if I'm just a few meters away."

Not enough to use magic if you know what I mean.

Each one of them cut off crisply, and less than 10 minutes later, we had a pile of about 40 bodies around us.

◇ ◇ ◇

"All right, that's the last one. In a way, collecting corpses was more bothersome, right?

Thanks to one Toya penetration, about a third of the bodies were dispersed far away.

Split it up and throw it inside the magic bag.

However, with regard to the several pieces directly hit by Yuki's Fireball Fireball, it had become a piece of meat, so only the Demon Stone was recovered.

On the contrary, it was beautiful were the individuals that Hulka had killed with his bow and those who had been slaughtered with the sword of Toya.

Since there are almost no scratches, the fur is likely to sell high.

"It's a pretty color, isn't it? Kind of strange......"

"Earth, you've never seen fur this color, have you?

It is scarce for fluffiness, but the colour itself is beautiful.

I've never seen fur this color in town, and maybe, could it sell high?

"If it wasn't a mutation, I don't think this color would be possible. Unlike birds."

"... Speaking of which, birds come in a wide variety of colors. There are also birds of extreme colour. Why?"

To Toya's words I twisted my neck, I think about it again.

"Oh, that's a little strange. Many of the beasts are brown, then about white and black?

Too plain compared to the colorfulness of the birds.

Maybe it's a protective color, but if a colorful bird survived, it seems like it would be good if a slightly colorful mammal survived.

"It seems evolutionary issues around there...... Prominent colors make herbivores easy to find by enemies, and carnivores are hard to hunt for."

"What about the birds?

"Isn't it because birds eat a lot of fruit, nuts, bugs, etc? On the contrary, aren't there any species with colorful feathers in raptors?

"I see... some convincing explanation. That's nuts."

When I heard Natsuki's commentary, Yuki nodded Hmm.

"I don't know if I'm right. In the case of demons, it's an organism that exists separately from the area, so there must be this kind of body hair."

You don't have to eat to live.

Dungeons don't have to worry about being preyed upon, and they don't often have demons attacked for predation, even outside of dungeons.

However, demons are never close to each other because it seems that they can kill each other in territorial strife.

"By the way, Toya, do you have any information on this demon?

"" Glass Coyotes ". They live in the meadows, not so strong, but they attack in groups. Worth the fur, the meat doesn't sell very well, he said. The Demon Stone is Rs. 1,100. Cheap, huh?"

To my question, Toya lets her gaze wander into the air and reads out the description of the beast - Glass Coyote.

Toya has already cracked the Dictionary of Demons purchased from Adventurers Guild, so if it's a known demon listed there, she can answer it right away, which is pretty convenient.

It is a walking magic dictionary.

I've read it once too, but there's such a Toya presence, and it's not loaded enough to be remembered immediately.

"I don't feel bad if you're buying per hour, but it's subtle as a total because the numbers are reduced at once"

"Right. My enemy range is zero, right?

If I can sense a wider range than Toya, I can capture some demonic reactions, but I hunted about 40 at once, so it's pretty clean.

"Well, leave aside the profitability of this hierarchy for now. Which direction should we go?

"Which direction, say, meadows or woods, right?

If your current vision, left as 0 degrees and right as 180 degrees, you can just see the forest in about 120 degrees direction, more than a kilometer away, and everything else is meadows. There are no ups and downs, so the horizon can be observed.

Yes, the horizon.

Horizon in the dungeon...... strange.

Given the hierarchy of previous dungeons, their breadth, I don't suppose it would be an anomaly to have the size of a horizon that you can see, but there are so many large spaces without columns... oh yeah, I didn't think about that.

"If you're going, isn't it the woods? Meadows look boring, don't they?

"I agree with that. Glass Coyote, don't bother me."

"Miscellaneous fish, but I don't know how many"

Like Toya, it's a pain in the ass.

It's mostly work, so the combat experience you get is not good, and I'm sure you have less experience.

"You have no reason to disagree. Then let's head to the woods. Nao, say hello to the enemy. Even if you're not strong, it's dangerous if you're hit by surprise."

"Copy that. Glass Coyote's fiction can't be fooled."

Without an opponent, it is never unlikely that he would have been hit by accident.

Once again, I paid attention to my enemies and started walking towards the woods.
