Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Gonzo stuck words in my throat in response to my question.

"Well, how long are you going to be out?

"I don't know... I don't think Tiga was that dangerous. But... I don't know how far it is.

"Gunu... if you don't leave for too long, I'd like to go with you..."

"Is it all right to go out?

"If you go out at night and come back at night, you will be able to enter and exit in such a discreet manner. However, if you stay away for too long, you may be suspicious.

I don't know where my eyes are, so I have been away for a few days.

I don't understand Gonzo's desire to go, either.

The city is located at the almost eastern edge of the island, and Gonzo will probably only be able to gather dark flowers together.

"The other three species don't seem to be able to go... at least Dark Blossom..."

"Why don't you ask Tiga and make a decision?

"That's not true! I won't do that!

Gonzo laughs happily at my suggestion.

You really want to go looking for all the Four Ones together...

"It's Yoshiki Kawa... Actually, they're looking for the Demon Warriors too.

"The Demon Squad...? Are you trying to suppress Lord Sidden?

"I don't know. However, in addition to being unable to stay in this city, it is possible that the garbage is outside the city to find Yoshiki Hua...

"... when you're done collecting Dark Blossoms, the awkward will look into it by themselves. If you are really collecting Shiki Hua, there must be some reason. Perhaps, on the contrary, it can be used as a material to restrain the opponent.

I see. Please.

Also, in the future, Siden and Genjiro can't move easily with the Four Demons, and Gonzo can't move, right?

If possible, I would like to have someone with a land survey accompanied in order to gather Yoshiki Hua... "

"Certainly, if you go looking for Shinya alone, it won't be very difficult..."

"I can't think of the right person. Anyway, I don't know if anyone can be suspicious of moving... like that.

"I don't know if that's true... even for the lower people, but it's a little noticeable to walk with.

Since the lower people are not walking with them, it would be better for the civilian population if possible.

Someone who has a land claim on the whole island and can be trusted to defend himself fairly and have no connection with the Demon Warriors... as far as I know, then there is only Senna.

"Senna? Senna the swordsman?

"That's not true.

I'm sure Gonzo doesn't have anyone he can trust anymore...

"I think it's going to be quite a dangerous journey...?

"That's not enough power to take on strong enemies, but I can protect myself.

Senna is a swordsman. There is no swordsman who cannot shake his sword. It can be used quite a bit.

In addition, there are many times people who go to the island to procure materials by themselves.

"Sourcing materials yourself?!

"Senna is never weak. From a general point of view only...

In that way, it feels like we're being told that we're far from the general public... No, can't we clear the undersea tunnel dungeon for the general public?

"But... is that okay?

Gonzo should be just as important as Sakura. It would be worrying to accompany you on such a dangerous journey.

"If you're going with Sinya and the others, there's nothing to worry about.

And Sena said that she would make the swords of Sinya and Nir. The best... I don't know where you're going, but it's safer to have Sinya and the others accompany you than to go alone.

We're heading for a hidden place. Precious and rare materials are also likely to be available.

Sourcing the materials, collecting the four demons... Sure, it's safer as a gonzo than letting you go alone. Rat's here, too.

"Okay. Then I'll take Senna.

I'm going to go looking for other Shiki Hana once I've collected Dark Hana.... "

"Shouldn't the awkward call?

"Can I ask you something?

"I'll leave it to you!

When I told Gonzo where to meet and when, he quickly returned to Senna.

It's time for the sun to fall.

There's still a lot I don't know about the Demon Squad, but I'll definitely get all of Yoshiki Hua and try to save Sakura.

After the sun goes down, we leave the inn after a while.

At least I wanted to stay at this inn for a few days...

I'll use this inn when I get back.

When I told the store owner about it, I was told to leave the room open and use it anytime...

I am afraid of VIP treatment. Looks like Genjiro.

We're heading south near the outer gate.

Taiga said, near the south gate, there are dead wells in the south-east of the city. The dry well seems to be a natural tunnel through which groundwater has been depleted, and it seems that no one can enter or exit the city without noticing.

Gates and exterior walls become meaningless, right?! Though it seems that this is the wisdom of the lower people, and those other than the lower people do not know it.

Some of you may know, but the underground cave has a complicated structure, and you can't go out without knowing the way.

Gonzo knew this story.

She used it when she went to get the cherry tree. When I was a kid, I was worried about how I got in and out of the gate even though there was a gatekeeper, but this was settled.

Nevertheless, in this world where water can be created magically, wells are... in this world, because water is not a problem, I have hardly seen anything related to water supply.

However, it seems that groundwater and spring water, for example, are sometimes used in cooking as good water, and there are wells in places with many kiosks and inns.

I said good quality water, but even if I said water... there are various kinds of water in my mouth.

The easiest things to understand are soft water and hard water.

Most Japanese water is soft water. Many people will have heard of it.

This soft water and hard water differentiate water according to the amount of calcium and magnesium contained in the water. The higher the amount, the harder the water, and the lower the softer the water.

In the difference between soft and hard water, the most obvious characteristic is whether or not it breaks the belly when you drink it.

I get hungry when I drink water from abroad. What a story you may have heard, this is due to the magnesium that is often found in hard water. Magnesium is also used as a detergent, which means it is too irritating to the built-in.

In other words, water made of magic becomes soft water.

So, is there no calcium or magnesium inside? That's probably not the case.

Another way of distinguishing water is due to the amount of impurities contained in the water.

For example, distilled water or pure water would be easy to understand.

So, what kind of water is this distilled water or pure water… I wonder if few people know exactly.

For example, when you come to the river to pump water and try to remove impurities from the river water.

The first thing that comes to mind is that something like a coffee filter removes sand and aquatic plants from the water and other visible impurities.

Removing impurities through filters or the like is called filtration, and water after this is done is called filtered water.

I want to get rid of invisible dirt and garbage! Then, there is a method of boiling water, collecting water vapor and returning it to water. This technique is called distillation, and the resulting water is called distilled water.

People who like whiskeys and the like may know the technique used to make alcoholic beverages.

By collecting alcohol that evaporates before water, you can make alcohol with a higher alcohol content. In this case, the moisture is an impurity.

Let's get back to it.

Distilled water can be said to be quite beautiful, but it's still not enough! In that case, it is possible to make it even more beautiful.

This uses activated charcoal.

Activated carbon is coal with pores between 10 and 200 Å (angstroms) in size.

Charcoal with lots of very small holes that you can't even see in the microscope. This is activated carbon.

When this activated carbon is passed through the water, the hole catches dirt and makes it cleaner.

In addition, it is possible to use an ion exchange resin (Kokanjishi) to make water more clean.

It's hard to understand when you say that positive and negative ions...

Simply put, calcium and magnesium, which determine soft and hard water, remove these ingredients.

The very clean water that I use is called pure water.

This should make the most beautiful and delicious water!... you might think, but that's actually a mistake.

The water that has become so clean is too clean, and when you drink it, it takes away ingredients like calcium and magnesium from your body, so it breaks your stomach.

That is, water containing moderate impurities. This is the best water for drinking.

And since the water generated by magic does not break your belly even if you drink it, it is water containing this moderate impurity.

However, because it is different from water that contains many special ingredients, such as hot springs and groundwater, for example, the same thing cannot be magically created. Immediately, wells and hot springs will be needed separately.

"Master...?

When I've been thinking for a long time, Nil calls out worried.

"Nah, nothing. It's supposed to be around here, right?

There is still a lonely place in the southern district, where there are few buildings and few people.

"That's right. From what I've heard... I don't know what a well is in the first place..."

I think it was on the continent, but it is not surprising that it is rare and I have never seen it.

I've never seen anything like it. It's just knowledge, and you'll see.

"Well... well... is that it...?

I can see something like that, but the well looks a lot different from what I imagined.

As an image, it was a round well fitted with a fishing bottle (vine) drop... but first, the size of the well was completely different.

It's about the size of a fountain in some park, a pentagon. Fittings are mounted in the middle of each side, connecting the broken rope and the broken barrel.

It seems that five people are able to pump water at the same time. It is probably the shape of this world where holes are easily dug using earth magic.

"Unlike the well I was expecting, I don't think this is a mistake.

"You pump water from here... but why do you do this troublesome thing?

"That's true..."

When I tried to tell you the results of my long deliberations...

"Oh, there you are.

Tiga emerged from the darkness. Apparently he was here first.

Are you going in here?

"Oh, I'm going down here all the way out, so watch your step.

"Okay.

Well then...

"Oh, wait a minute.

Tiga tried to get down into the well, but he stopped.

"I'm sorry I'm late.

"Master Gonzo?!

Gonzo and Sena show up when I stop Tiga.

"I'm sorry. I would like to have the awkward people accompany me.

"I was late to say it, but when I told Gonzo, it was only Dark Blossom. Are you all right?

"Of course it's okay!

Tiga feels a little excited. Gonzo is like a hero to him.

"How about you?

"My name is Sena. I don't know, but all of a sudden Gonzo came and took him out.

"Let me explain!

"That explains it?

"Ugh..."

Senna gazes at Gonzo with a jito eye. Gonzo gets stuck in words.

I could largely imagine what kind of interaction it was, but it would still be Senna and Gonzo around here.

"How long does it take to get there?

"We'll be there tomorrow night!

Then I don't think I can accompany you.

In the meantime, Gonzo seems to be able to accompany us. That's good.

"Ah... it's the mountains I want to talk to, but I'll come down later. It stands out here.

"That's not true. It wasn't Tiga... Thank you very much.

Yes!

A sparkling tiger attaches a rope to the fitting in the well and leans into it.

"There's plenty down there, so be careful not to drop it.

"Okay.

"Then we're going down first.

Tiga enters the well with sulsulsulu.

"Is Rato okay?

Hmm...

Rat peeks into the well and makes Sung Song snort.

It's okay!

So Rat jumps into the well.

Bang, bang, bang!

Rats kick the wall of the well, and as they kick, they move sideways many times to adjust the rate of fall.

The wild wolf is awesome... no, is this rat awesome?

"Let's go, too.

"I can't believe we're suddenly in this place... but I think we can usually get out of the gate...?

"Don't go!

"Hah... why are you doing this..."

Senna seems a little dissatisfied, but Gonzo invites her to the well.

At first there was a moonlight and it was bright, but when it went down a little, it didn't reach, and it became complete darkness.

Smell of wet soil and stone. The temperature goes down as it goes down.

I feel a different creepiness from the dungeon.

After relying on the rope for a while, I was finally able to put my foot on the bottom.

Apparently, it has become a rock (cancer), and the feeling conveyed to the soles of the feet is hard.

Pichon... Pichon...

From behind the darkness, you can hear water sounds, whether there is still a little water left, or whether rain water has come out.

"It's a bit chilly.

"It's a well.

"Ouch! Hey, Gonzo! Don't step on it!

"But I'm sorry!

I can't see anything in the dark, and I want a light...

"Everybody down?

It's a little narrow...

Looks like Rato got down safely. Besides, it seems that we are able to grasp the situation around us even in this darkness.

"Can't I have a lantern?

"If the light leaks outside the well, you'll notice it. We have to go a little further.

Pull over to the right, tell the wall, and follow my voice.

"Okay.

Reach out to the right, and as you walk a little, the touch of hard rock skin is immediately transmitted to your hand.

Cold, wet rock skin, rough.

Walk behind Tiga for a while.

"It's about time.

When Tiga sets fire to the lantern, she can finally secure her sight.

"Finally! Rurururu...."

The cavity is a huge thing that runs all the way out of town.

Senna's voice echoed and flew forward.

"Don't talk too loud. There's no point in hiding.

"Sorry..."

"I've come so far to applaud... Senna. Are you sure you want us to come with you?

"I can't tell you how to stop coming here... I'll get there.

Senna lifts her shoulders up with her palms facing up.

"Something... sorry.

"Don't worry, it's not Shinya's fault. It's all Gonzo's fault.

"Gumu....."

"Well, I wouldn't hesitate to cooperate if I could help Sakura. If the chances are slight, I'll do anything.

"Senna..."

"If the legend of Siki Hua is true, if there is anything you can do, and if there is anything I can do, tell me anything.

"... thank you.

"What are you talking about? Sakura is my best friend. If you want to thank me, I will.

I will find... Yoshiki Hua.

"... ahh.

I was complaining a lot to Gonzo, but I guess Sena really wanted to go, too. Of course, I'm desperately suppressing my desire to hurry first... I look like I'm looking like that.

Since the underground cave was originally filled with water, there are water reservoirs everywhere and the lantern light is reflected.

Because I don't know whether it is shallow or deep grooves (grooves), I can't push my foot into the cave badly and proceed carefully.

Though there were a number of parting roads, Tiga didn't hesitate to wonder if she was used to them, but she went crispy and arrived at the exit in about twenty minutes.

As I was told, it's definitely a type of cavity that goes astray without guidance. Rats seem to have noticed the path leading to the exit, but they don't usually have people like Rats and are more likely to get lost and unable to get out deep.

Just imagine that you can't get out of such a cold, dark place until you die.

"I'm relieved to hear that.

It came out of the valley a little away from the city. The trees are growing and the terrain is difficult to see from around them.

"So, where's the darkness at stake?

"Just south of here is a place called the Forest of Everglades.

"Evergreen Forest?! Are you going to such a noisy place?!

From Sena's reaction, it's a dangerous place everyone knows...

"I've never been to a place like this.

"I've only been there once, but there's really nothing there. There's nothing but monsters, and it's dark... are there really dark blooms in such a place?

"I can't get it the normal way. Well, you'll see.

When Tiga says so, she moves south.

"If you don't go, you won't get Dark Blossom. Then, whether it be hell or hell, the selfish shall go.

"Hell no... good. It would be more worthwhile to do it anyway. Let's go.

Gonzo and Senna are very motivated. As long as it's reliable.
