Transition to Another World, Landmines Included
303 Down the Cliff (2)
The first thing that followed us was Yuki.
This, as I had decided beforehand.
When I free up time, to make sure it doesn't fly again and in case it does, Yuki makes the decision that I can prevent it.
But the concern seemed useless, and Yuki descends next to us without being attacked.
"Huh, a little nervous"
"Tired. Because Yuki can use Isolation Field, too, so if it flies, it's okay, right?
"I don't know if I can prevent it! Nao's are tough."
"... well, not proportional to the amount of magic consumed, the strength"
I also worried about how much magic I would use to prevent flying gar.
Where it is no longer needed and disarmed, it is a waste of magic, even if it creates unnecessarily strong barriers, because the magic consumed does not return.
"But I'm pretty sure you're not flying in the same place. … I don't know how long it's been."
"Right. Is this, too, like a dungeon trap? Once activated, it will take a while for the resurrection type to take."
"Fish, aren't you flying anymore?
Me and Yuki laugh bitterly at Meetia, who seems a little sorry.
If you can even deal with the viciousness of kissing, in a way, you can eat all you want fish just waiting.
"Like the boss will be back, I think this one will be back in a while, huh?
"Right. If you're like the boss, maybe a few weeks? But what if it's a trap, like, a few days?
"It was good!
Saying that and laughing happily at Meetia, we laugh bitterly again.
Toya caught a pretty dangerous eye with this fish, but that might make Meetia quite successful and quite suitable for adventurers, as she was pleased to get the fish.
It was Mary who followed Yuki down, then Natsuki, Hulka and finally Toya.
However, the toya retrieves the rope ladder and suspends the rope only.
I plan to leave the rope used by Toya here.
"You made it. Eh, this is..."
It came down 20 meters not much, but there wasn't much change in the scenery.
As always, the bottom of the valley is invisible, and the waterfall is too large to be seen in this degree of high or low difference.
From behind the rock shelves, narrow paths continue in such a way as to run through rock walls, but this is a part of the rock that was invisible from above because of its shelter.
The thing about not having to worry about getting wet when it rains may be a good passageway - but no, does it rain in the first place? In the dungeon.
Normally, I would say 'unlikely', but I can't say enough that if you look up you can just see things like clouds, not even.
"Are we going down that aisle, have we got ahead of us, or are we going down the cliff again at the end of the day..."
"Do I think I'm going down the cliff again? patterned."
"Same type of trap? doesn't seem like it's going to end in one go."
Natsuki nods at Yuki's words, and Toya also opens her mouth pointing to the top of the waterfall.
"Because of this, the location is good."
Flying Gar flies up to the top of Toya's pointed waterfall, where the water begins to fall.
Because the rays are straight through from there, you can come in at high speeds, and if that thing flies slowly, it's not a threat or anything.
"I'm not too happy, though."
Toya shrugged her shoulders and laughed bitterly, but there was a voice that spoke differently about it.
"But there are plenty of fish!
It is Meetia who peeked into a bag filled with lots of fish and said so with Nico's face.
From behind such a meatier, it was Mary who peered softly and still seemed happy.
Until they came with us, they didn't remember eating fish, but the occasional fish on the table seemed to really like it, and I guess they expect the same thing from this fish.
I haven't decided yet that this fish is delicious... but is it good to enjoy it?
"I'm sure you can eat this every day!
"Yeah! Even if I eat two at a time, I can eat for the time being!
We looked at each other and laughed.
◇ ◇ ◇
Happy or unhappy, Toya's predictions were misguided.
After a short walk, the aisle is still a dead end, and if you observe the cliffside, there are several rock shelves.
If you go downstairs in a similar way as earlier, there will be more fish in the leather bag.
The smiles of the meatiers are dazzling too.
So I guess I'm lucky for them.
Of course, it's not like we're not expecting jaws either.
We kept going downstairs about three more times, but I still can't see the bottom of the valley.
I wonder how expensive the hell it is.
Little by little, it feels like the fog is getting deeper, so I'm pretty sure it's getting closer to the bottom, but it bothers me when I say that the rope decreases from place to place.
This time, on my visit here, the money I sold Mingwood has come well prepared, and I have quite a few ropes, but naturally it is not infinite.
Sturdy ropes are expensive, and the number sold in Lafan is limited.
You can't even buy cheap things to save your life.
"Maybe it's time to think about what to do. It's getting dark."
I made that suggestion as Halka sighed as the sun-like objects I could see tilted and there were signs of dusk.
If there was anything that could separate me, I was going to say it too, but I was just out of my way without a change.
"Right. Nojuku here is a little harsh."
"The water is getting stronger and stronger."
The first rock shelf felt like a fine blister was flying in the wind, but around here, the surroundings were already completely sunk in the fog.
Not so much as a thick fog, but there is no doubt that his vision is still getting worse, and he was starting to struggle a little with shooting down the Arrowhead Eagle against the Flying Gur, which he sensed in [Sovereign] and just had to avoid.
Most importantly, compared to the almost constant number of flying gars, the Arrowhead Eagle had reduced that number every time it went down the cliff.
When I got off the cliff earlier, I only flew one or two at a time, so I haven't had much of a problem.
More than that, the problem is that your body gets wet.
Sometimes, Hulka dries it in Purificate, but only for a few moments.
Soon after, my whole body gets wet and I feel like I've been rained.
'This is also good again,' if it's hot, but the temperatures are easy to spend right now.
If you put it the other way around, when you get wet rats, it's usually cold.
This takes away your strength plain, and in wet conditions, your feet and hands are slippery.
Especially Toya, who would hang down with a rope every time, was struggling.
Everyone wears a coat along the way to keep them from getting wet inside, but the fog is an unexpected troublesome thing that can't be completely prevented.
Moreover, wearing a coat inhibits behavior.
Naturally, if you camp in a state like this, you don't talk about where you recover your strength, if you suck, you get sick, you catch a cold.
"... hey, is this a trap, including this long cliff? I have nowhere to rest warmly, and I need strength to go back. Pretty tight, huh?
When Yuki said that as she was a little fed up, she looked up at the height of the cliff that had descended, looked further down and sighed that she couldn't see the bottom.
"Right. In our case, it's still better because we have a demon prop comfort tent..."
"Isn't that why you got out there? Comfort Tent"
"Because it's an item you need to move on, huh? Not often. In games."
"In this state, you're going to have a hard time setting the fire, aren't you?... as we are anyway"
If you normally have firewood, you will get wet, and in this situation where the fire exit is likely to be damp, it is difficult to light a fire with regular firestone.
In other words, it's difficult to warm up your body with a bonfire.
We have firewood in our magic bag, so it stays dry, and with magic, we can start a fire. Much blessed.
"I have a lot of firewood!
"Fish, do you want to bake?
The salvation is that the meatiers are energetic.
Whether you're happy with the plenty of fish or whether you have different basic health because of the Beast Man, compared to Yuki, who is the most glocky of us, even though he's about the same physically...
Well, Yuki's probably more mentally fatigued than physically, just using magic.
"Let's not do that until we get back to level 20. It's safer to eat."
"Are we going back now?
"I think I'll be able to get off one more time or so..."
Toya and Natsuki said that to Hulka's suggestion.
Yuki, by contrast, only exhales small.
"Is Yuki okay?
"Hmm, what if it's about one more time? Just let me ride Nao's metastasis when we get back, okay?
"Copy that. It's not that far away, and you're gonna be okay."
I also consume a lot of magic, but there's more room than Yuki for the difference between an elf and a human.
"Well, let's go down one more time and then go back to level 20 and make it camp. Cook the fish, too."
"Yay!
Meatier, who honestly represents joy, and Mary, who seems happy with a modest grin.
While soothing to those two, check the rock shelves below and get off.
Work that has already been repeated several times and is used to.
Routine, each role is roughly fixed, and things go smoothly.
But was that bad?
The anomaly occurred when Natsuki was descending.
"- Huh?"
The upper rock wall holding the rope ladder in place suddenly collapsed.
Natsuki's body floating in the universe.
Is the height from the rock shelf not much 10 meters?
With your current physical abilities, you won't die if you get hurt, but that's not the problem.
A crumbling mass of rock, falling from the top of the nuts.
It's okay to be underneath it, it can't be.
It was for a moment that she was troubled.
Slap the sword against the rock wall and shift your body away from the rock drop point.
That escaped the rock threat, but the price was to come off the rock shelf.
If you fall as you go, a straight line to the bottom of the cliff.
I run my gaze to Haruka and Yuki and confirm their position.
Yeah, I can't.
I immediately jumped toward the nuts falling down the side.
Critical in timing.
Grab Natsuki's arm with considerable acceleration and attract it.
"Natsuki! Stick around!
"Yes!"
Make sure the two hands of Natsuki turn to my back, and I'll hold on to Natsuki's harness with both hands.
But I didn't have a lifeline either.
Speaking of mistakes, mistakes.
But if I had attached a lifeline, I wouldn't have been able to grab the nuts again.
"Naoooo!!"
As the screams of Hulka echoed, I fell into the deep mist with my nuts in my arms.
