Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

That night across the river.

When I was watching alone, I saw something strange.

"... what... what is that?

It's dark and I don't know, but a distantly visible picture of the plant is twitching. You may not know what you're talking about, but the jungle is literally moving.

I think it was about three hours after the sun fell.

Didn't you notice it was dark...? No, that's impossible. It's moving so well that even in the dark, it's even a little rattling. It is not in the boulder that neither I nor Nil will notice.

"What's going to happen...?

"... nh... Master...?

Nil also noticed the abnormality, so I woke up. If you're on a tree, you'll feel a lot of shaking.

"Something... feels like it's swaying..."

"Oh, look at that.

Nil stares in the direction I have indicated.

"The plants... aren't moving?

"You look right.

"... yes..."

Nil seems to have the same feelings as me.

"That's where we're going, right?

"That's right...."

I'd like to make a detour if possible, but even if I know it's moving, I don't even know where it's moving. That means you don't know where to detour or how to detour.

"It seems irrelevant around here, so let's think about it after sunrise.

"... I see. Please sleep, Master, because I will change.

"It's a little early for the shift, isn't it?

"No, I'm totally awake, so I'm fine.

"... I see. Don't push it.

"Yes, I know.

I'll take turns watching Nil and get to sleep.

Close your eyelids, feeling a slight vibration coming from afar.

I woke up when the sky began to whiten.

"... fuuu..."

Wake up your body with a large stretch and shortage.

"Good morning.

"Haaaaaaahh...."

I woke up and my head wasn't completely spinning, but I remembered yesterday and looked around where the plants were moving.

"Nothing has changed in particular.

"... I see.

Because it was moving like a rattle, I expected that grass and trees would fall down or the surrounding landscape would have changed significantly. However, it seems that the jungle landscape has not changed significantly.

"... now we don't know exactly where to bypass.

"... yes. I've been watching it for a long time, but it stopped moving in about an hour, and it hasn't moved since.

"The botanical monster has moved...?

"There are some botanical monsters that move around, but I've never heard of them moving together as much as they can see in the jungle at night..."

"Is it a monster we don't know, or something else..."

This is why the unknown land is in trouble. Even if you act carefully, you are forced to make difficult choices.

We'll see what we can do for a while. I hardly think about this.

Once you look at it, if you have any hints, it's not too bad. But I could only recognize that something big was moving, so sitting here and waiting is likely to end up wasting time.

What is lost is whether to make a big detour and avoid it, or to cut through it.

If you make a big detour, you don't know where and how to detour it, so you're going to make a pretty big detour. A few days will take time to detour.

For us who want to cut through the jungle in no time, a detour is undesirable. If you spend too much time, you may not have time to discuss it with the demons. That could mean almost a return before going through the submarine tunnel. However, I think you will understand that once you break through, you will be more likely to encounter something that moves the forest for that time, and you will certainly bear the risk.

When I thought of anguish, Nil opened his mouth.

"... Master. Let's go.

It is unusual for Nil to speak out during the difficult choices ahead.

"Even if you take the risk, shorten the time... do you think Nil and I can go?

"... yes. I think it is possible.

Nil said clearly and without tension or anxiety, looking me in the eye with a natural body.

Nil puts too much trust in me, but he's not a fool to be blind enough to make reckless choices. I thought I could go after thoroughly grasping the current situation and taking into account our strengths and the average monster strength of this jungle.

Indeed, Nil has become much stronger. Growth after you can think and judge for yourself is something to keep an eye on.

If I were Nil, I wouldn't be behind those monsters.

"Okay. Let's go. Cut through the jungle straight. We need to gear up more than ever and go carefully.

Yes!

We dressed ourselves and began the day.

Nothing in the jungle is the same as yesterday, and the notation does not change when using appraisal magic.

If you can study the plants in this jungle carefully, there are many useful things, but there is no room for lazy research or safe place.

Zann!!

As you go through the jungle, suddenly the wind magic comes from the right hand direction.

As you roll forward to avoid it, tall grass will slice diagonally and fall to the ground.

"Move on, you're covered in mud again!

Zann!

Shit!

A blade of wind that will fly again.

I'll roll over the mud again and pull out the thin sword.

"Nil! Do you know where it came from?!

I know that the blade of wind is flying in, but I can't find the main body of the main body.

Using magic means that when you fire the blade of the wind, the magic team will shine.

Zann!

Avoid flying wind blades as they roll over the mud.

"There it is! Hiding!

I can't see Nil's gaze.

"Nil! Can you do that?!

"Leave it to me!!

Nil runs ahead of her eyes.

I can't see them, but I'm moving out of there to cover and avoid them.

Crunchy...

The grass shakes slightly. A shadow about 30 centimeters smaller than I thought it would pop out from between the hum and the grass towards Nir.

"It's sweet!

When Nil completes the magic he prepared while he was running, a yellow-green light is emitted, and the sharp tree extends straight into the shade from the magic formation on his left hand. It's an intermediate wooden magic skewer.

Shit!

The sound of piercing a hard object pierces the stretched tree, poking the body of the shadow.

It looks like a big canaven. The colors are the same as regular canavens, with distinctive glittering tea and green. The only difference is that there is a big mouth with sharp teeth.

"You're a new monster again..."

"Are there different monsters living across the river...?

The monsters in the Canaven would be ranked B… no, C… Basically, the lower the rank, the higher the breeding power and the higher the number. When I was across the river, I saw many monsters, but by the time I got to the river, most of the monsters I encountered had become monsters I had seen before.

But in the meantime, I haven't encountered any of these decanabans... decanabans. It's unlikely that it has low fertility... but there was a moving forest last night, and it might be better to think about the different types of monsters that live there.

"What do you want to do? I think the risk will be higher if the species that inhabit them are different..."

"... no. Let's keep going. It doesn't seem like the monsters are getting stronger just on this side of the river, so if it seems dangerous, you can reconsider at that time. Let's move on now.

"I see... before that, I'll clean up your body.

"Ugh... please.

I still forgot that my whole body was in a delodero state.

Ask Nil to clean it with water magic and move the jungle to the back.

There have been several battles with monsters since then, but it seems that there are only high-ranking monsters on this side and there are no particularly dangerous places.

In that case, the problem would be a huge migration of plants, but as we move forward, we don't see anything about it.

"If there's anything, it's time to see it..."

"There's nothing unusual about it.

As a result, I did not discover anything afterwards, and I decided to make a bed on a tall tree as usual.

"What was that yesterday?

"If the woods were really moving, it wouldn't be strange if there were any traces... nothing.

I proceeded fairly carefully and without overlooking it, but while wondering that there was nothing, I had no choice but to worry about what was missing. I was waiting for the end of the day while I was worried about the surroundings.

Three hours after sundown, near the time the forest was moving last night. Nil and I were thinking something might happen....

"Nothing happened.

"Yes, that's right.

Look down, look around, there's nothing there or the woods are moving. I'm not out of my mind yet, but first I'm relieved.

And it was time for the day to change.

Gogogogogogogogogo!

"Why?!

An earthquake that suddenly began. Nil jumped up and I protected Nil from rolling and falling.

The tree we were on was shaking, and we were clinging to the trunk of the tree in the amplified shake.

Zozozozozozo!

"What is it?!

The same tall tree suddenly stretches in front of the tall tree we're on.

It's coming... it's nothing. It just stretched.

I doubted magic. I've only seen this kind of tree grow suddenly, if it's not magic. Withstanding the shake, looking down, several plants are growing near the ground and one after the other.

Zuga!

"Nh!!

The tree on which we are riding is shaking even harder, and the fixed floorboard peels off and falls. It seems that the branches became stiff and the fixing part couldn't stand because of the shaking that could not stand.

Nil!

"Master!

Grab Nil's falling hand and pull it in.

It's good to pull it in, but this certainly falls down.

Quickly draw the magic of the Gast and activate it just before it falls. The gust and wind blew roughly and managed to reduce the rate of fall and landed with a little pain.

Dotcha!

"I'm cumming..."

"So, are you okay?

It may already be said that it is a habit to protect Nil at these times.

"It's okay. Besides..."

Zozozozozozo!

I can see the surrounding plants growing rapidly in front of me.

The buds that grow from nowhere grow all at once until they reach their maximum. The trees are exactly the same.

"What the hell..."

"... growing up?

You can't be such an idiot.

Even if it were a growing season, it would not grow so rapidly. Moreover, it is obviously strange that all species are at the same time.

Then again, magic would be the cause... but if it were magic, it would take a lot of magic. I don't know why, but I think something is growing this forest. Moreover, the range of growth appears to be moving deeper and deeper.

"The forest wasn't moving, but the growing area was moving..."

I honestly don't know that the number of trees increased when I saw the jungle in the dark at a distance. When it gets brighter, it turns out it's the same.

It's only natural that there was no trace. It's just a new plant growing, so there's no trace.

As you wait for Nil and the tree to stop shaking, you hear a different sound than the sound of the jungle growing.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

It sounds like someone walking in the mud of the jungle.

You can peek deep from the trunk of the tree, but in the dark, the growing grass trees are in the way and you can't see well.

As you stare straight, you see a figure walking away from the grass.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

".........!!

I didn't know right away, but I kept watching the shadows that approached me and understood.

That's what this phenomenon is all about.

I don't know if I use magic or whether it exists in the first place, but my whole body is glowing yellow and green, and that glowing light illuminates the nearby plants.

The shape is human, but it has a larger shape than me in both vertical and horizontal directions, and its whole body is covered in grass and cymbals. No, it's probably better to compare it with grass and vines forming a human form and walking... rather than being covered.

Looking at this figure, my memory comes back to life.

Greenman.

It was said to be an S-ranked monster, and it has very little sighting information.

A monster who once saw a player publish information on the internet that he was killed the moment he met.

I know that I fought salamanders and worms, but I felt a different fear from the other two monsters. I don't know what to say... but I wonder.

Instead of fear of the strong, the cold fear of ghosts and ghosts envelops you.

I'm not the one who should do it here.

I felt it.

The sweat that blows out from your body. Your heart moves as fast and strongly as it does after running at full speed, and your breathing is shallow and fast.

"Master"

Pashi!

Block Nil's mouth where he tried to call me with his hands, fix Nil's body like a hug from behind, and stick to the trunk of the tree as much as possible.

Nil's head is around my chest, so you may have noticed my heart is pounding fast.

Nil seemed to have noticed my unusual movements and attitudes, and kept quiet.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

The footsteps are getting closer and closer.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

They're already coming right next to the trunk of the tree where we're hiding...

Zuchah.....

From the trunk of the wooden tree, the green one with its strange appearance represents the figure.

It's right next to Nil and me.

Your whole body gets hot enough to think that your blood might boil.

The Greenman, who used to move at equal speed, stops next to us once.

Magic... sword...

Imagine in your head what kind of movement you make at the first moment of battle.

Even if we can't take him down, Nil and I will probably get away with it.

That's right... use the item...

Turn your head fully in a flash and keep quietly watching Greenman's movements.

... thump... thump...

But Green Man walks straight ahead, completely ignoring us. No, you didn't recognize it... did you? I don't know if you have eyes, but you didn't even look at Nil and me.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Greenman's back is moving away.

When I noticed, Nil's body, which was held by my arm, trembled little by little.

She's feeling the fear I'm feeling.

.............................................

Greenman pushed the grass away without using his hands and the footsteps finally disappeared.

Release your body and let Nil go of your hands.

"What is it... that's...?

Nil still seems to be afraid.

"I don't know what the details are, but Greenman and our players called it.

It does say that there is such a thing as being seen in medieval European art, and I took a name from it... but I don't know the details.

"The name of the cute ringtone comes from the scary story that the player found out about its existence, the moment he met it, he didn't know in detail what happened, but he died in the shackles...

Nobody else had seen it, and the people in the game didn't know anything about it, so they said it was an urban legend or eyebrows... but it was true.

"What kind of monster...?

"I don't know anything about it. All we know is who we are.

The only information that was publicly available was appearance. It must have been one of the causes of urban legends.

"When I took the risk, I met something incredible..."

"But I'm sorry... I just told you to go..."

"Nil won't apologize anyway. I agreed.

Nil and I are having a party. A trustworthy companion. We came here to exchange opinions and convince each other. If it's a failure, you two should reflect, and if it succeeds, you two should be happy.

I thought that was my buddy... Am I wrong?

"... Master... no! You're right! I was wrong!

Nil laughs happily even though he says he was wrong.

Put your hands on your head and laugh again.

"Well... it's hard to leave, but I didn't leave the jungle. We could run into that Greenman again, and we're gonna squeeze it out.

Yes!

Nil holds his fist in front of his chest and nods.

The sway subsided, and when I got up to go back up and rebuild my bed again, I looked at the Greenman passing by and saw something strange.

The grass glowing yellow-green grows softly from the earthed mud of Greenman's feet.

It is about ten centimeters tall in the shape of a vine, and a few millimeter-sized diamond-shaped leaves of cards alternate left and right on both sides of the vine.

It's a plant that I've never seen before, and the place where it grows is too unique, and I feel something attractive (or irritating).

Buzz...

Cut one diamond leaf. If you rub it down lightly, you'll see an amount of liquid that doesn't seem to have crushed a few millimeters of leaves. The liquid that comes out is green, and there is about the amount of fruit juice that comes out when the whole pear is crushed.

The scent is like a mixture of pear (no) and apple (apple).
