Genjiro entered the open cage and looked into what had happened.

"I don't think I bit my tongue off...."

"It's not self-harm...?

"There are no wounds to your body or death.

I'm not dying.

"When it comes to..."

"Poison... I guess.

That's all I can think of.

"But, Genjiro!My master told me not to do that, and I checked again and again!

"I didn't have anything!

The two men in charge of the cell explained in a hurry.

If I used poison, did I put it in my mouth?

I was thinking about the possibility, and I had my medical exam done...

"It doesn't seem like I was poisoning my mouth.

It would be natural to assume... that he had already taken a late-acting poison...

"Late effect poison..."

"Stand back, both of you.

Nobody could have predicted this, so I'm not going to hold you responsible.

"Ha, yes!

The two men in charge of the cell hurriedly left the cell.

"Shit, you didn't talk because you knew you were going to die.Was that what you said you were going to do...?

Genjiro does not try to hide his frustration.

When you're about to grasp the tail, you know exactly how angry it feels to be with the person who slips out of your hand.

"Lanka, what do you think?

"... a lizard's tail cut...?

Does Ranka think so too?

"And perhaps there was something in it that Tyra didn't understand...

"In Lanka's story, the Demons were stationed in the Mansion.I suppose it was meant to be disconnected a long time ago.

When someone's hand reached out, they were probably ready to cut it off.

I suddenly went to Tyra's house without any prior contact.And yet, considering all the numbers, our movements were conveyed... or I think there were that many people from everyday life.

The former is impossible, considering that Shinya-sama's side was dropped off, decided on the spot, and immediately approached.If so, the latter becomes dominant.

"Did my Gonzo hit you badly...?

When I gathered the information, Tyra realized that they were being searched for... it was normal to think.But...

"There are countless sources of information that make it such a famous house.

I don't think there's any other way to be understood, even if it's not Mr. Gonzo.

"Well... that's why I was thinking about it, and I can't help it... I've caused you trouble.

"It's not even that much of a preparatory exercise.

Guhaha! The girl's Ranka is still alive!

"Dear Genjiro... did you know that name... so embarrassing..."

Girl Ranka. This is like my two names.

Before becoming a Shiki, this name became widespread because I took the initiative to solve the troubles of the city while being a woman.

Originally, I was going to leave it to Shiki at the time to solve it.

My youthfulness, which I longed for Shunlai-sama.A shameful past.

"Haha! I heard from the Four Demons at the time that there was a good guy!

"Ah, please don't bully me too much..."

"Haha! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Dear Genjiro, who smiles happily.Genjiro, I think you praised me... but I'm embarrassed.

"But... you're back in line.

"No, I don't think so.



"The Tyra family is as famous as the Four Ones.No one has access to such a place.

"I see... all right.Let's find out who can get in and out of Tyra's house and follow the recent money flow.

"Perhaps someone will catch you.

If Tyra is about to say... about her death, it's fine... but it's caught.You may want to hurry.

"Soon, do you think my meaning will be different?

"At that time, Tyra was laughing from the bottom of her heart.

No matter how twisted she is, I don't think that Tyra will be so happy that she's just going to die.

"... I've never missed Ranka.Let's hurry up.

It is too much to say that it has never come off, but this kind of conjecture is often encountered.

Genjiro left the Mansion and started moving.

I'll do what I can.

I can't wipe my anxiety.

Something... I have a feeling something big is going to happen.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

When we got Phantom and headed north, we saw the meaning of what Sena initially said only from the west.

"I'm sure we can't get in from outside the west.

On Rato's back, two days.

I was looking at the place where Tenka, the last of the four demon flowers, was blooming from a little distance.

Tianhua blooms at the top of a mountain higher than Ricca's.

The altitude... I don't want to think about it.

The only reason I could get in from the west was because the shape of the mountain was too unique.

The north and south sides are roughly perpendicular to each other and are constricted by the foothills.

When you try to climb, you have to crawl up the wall and follow a few kilometers of a horizontal place like a rat.

Naturally, I can't do that, and it's practically impossible to climb.

Moreover, according to Sena, this mountain is made of brittle material, and there are more falling walls than falling rocks.

I almost died in an avalanche, but I don't even want to imagine it falling from mountain to mountain.

From the west, only the north and south can be seen, but the east seems to be in the same state.

The only west side you can climb is the elongated, gentle uphill slope that leads to the summit.

It's an image that reminds me of the Great Wall.If I explain it in a rough way, it looks like "no".

"This mountain is called Tenzan, and it seems to mean a mountain that continues to heaven.It's the tallest mountain on this island.

"Looks like there's no snow here?

"Yes, this is an active volcano.I've never seen an eruption, but it looks like the heat from the lava is leaking into the mountain skin and melting the snow.

"Does that mean it's warm?

"I've climbed all the way up, but it's pretty warm.

There are air holes everywhere and it seems that the heat is coming out of them.I just can't see, there are countless holes like that, and they keep warming the ground.

It's like natural floor heating.

"As you can see, there are no plants called plants and they are quite slippery, so it's dangerous to be careful.

Plus, it's warm all year round, so there's plenty of monsters and small animals.I think there will be more fights.

"Are you familiar with it?

"We used to collect materials alone.

I've been doing my best to gather information in advance.

That's the result.

Sena raised her index finger and said.

See? You're lucky Sena's here, right?I tried to say...

"Sena is still amazing!I respect you!

"Hehe, hehe.When Nil told me, I felt a little irritated.

I think Nil should take care of him better than I do.

However, when I climbed this high mountain, I was concerned about Takayama disease, even though it was a group of demons with high physical abilities.

You can say the same to me and Nil.

Riding on Rat's back all at once... would be dangerous.

Besides, I was told that there were many fights, and the scaffolding was poor.We'd better climb the tunnel with our own feet.

"Did you know that Senna has Alpine disease?

"Takayama disease...? I've never heard of it.

"I've never heard of it either..."

If you start explaining that in a high mountain, oxygen becomes thinner and acid deficient... what is oxygen in this world without atomic theory?That's why...

"Climbing a high mountain at once can make me very ill.

This is a brief explanation.

What are you talking about, this guy?I thought you might be able to see...

"Really?!I didn't know! After all, your husband is an Erudite!

"I didn't know... I was fine at Ricca's, but this one's expensive.

Am I going to be too?

"I think Rato will be... too.

Takayama disease with the body of a wolf... honestly, I don't know what it is, but it's likely to be the same creature.

"Are you going to climb slowly?

"I feel like climbing for a while, walking around the same height for about an hour to get used to my body, spending a day, climbing when I get used to it...It'll take a while, but it's better than getting sick.

"Ok!

"I see. I don't know what kind of illness it is, but if it doesn't, it's better not to.

I understand too!

They're honest and good kids...

So what if I climb?

Thus, we headed for the collection of the last Four Onihua, Tianhua.

First, as soon as we started climbing, a C-rank monster, Fastrat, appeared in the herd.

A light blue mouse 50 centimeters in size.I also saw it in the submarine tunnel dungeon.

However, the number of herds is smaller than the Fastrat in the Dungeon.Five or six in one herd.At most, about ten.

Besides, when he noticed Rat, he ran away with all his might.

"Oh, rats really are amazing... I've never seen a monster run away in such a hurry..."

I'm not intimidating anymore...

"If you're a monster of C rank, you'll be killed without any power to play with.

"When we came alone, we had a rough fight..."

Senna laughs with a distant look at what it was...

"Speaking of which, I don't see much of Senna fighting, but how long can she actually fight?

"I see... I've fought before, and I think Hungry Mantis is the best that I could defeat alone.

I ran away when I ran into Troll.

Hungry Mantis is ranked B Trolls are A-ranked.

In other words, you can destroy B-rank monsters alone, but you can't compete with A-Rank...

What a demonic race... I didn't know a woman who didn't specialize in it could destroy a B-ranked monster alone...

"That's because this kid was there.

That's how I pound my knife on my hips.Indeed, his name should have been "Oran."

"This is a sword made of a mixture of yellow iron ore, lithium, and so on.

Light, sharp, and well chopped, but I'm sorry I don't have the technology to use it.

"Doesn't Senna learn swordsmanship?

"I'm a blacksmith.Gonzo does that, so we don't have to do it.

I'm worried about the ingredients I can't get myself, so Gonzo is going to pick them up from now on!

"Are you going to use Gonzo so badly?

"If he doesn't do that, he'll be in a good mood soon.We control it.

"Ha ha ha. I see.

"Yes! Come on, keep going... it's no good.

"It's okay because it's not altitude enough to get alpine disease so quickly.

"Then keep going!

Senna's brightness is as bright as making people around her smile.I think it's really amazing to have that brightness even now that I've heard a lot about it.

On the first day, I climbed up to my stomach.

As for the elevation around the midsection, it was lower than the needle ice peak, and I didn't have to worry about alpine disease yet.

As Sena said, the mountains are warm and there is no need for cold protection.Instead, I could wear a little thin clothes.

Occasionally, there are large holes in the ground from which steam rises, and there is a unique corrosive smell of sulfur around them.

Monsters were mostly C-ranked opponents, avoiding Rato's monsters, and there was almost no battle.

It was the same during the camp, and the monsters never approached.

The second day after the night opened.

When you start climbing further up from the midsection, a flying B-ranked monster begins to appear.

Nevertheless, Rat's threat was effective against B-ranked monsters, and no one came near except monsters of ferocious character.

Even if you drop in, you can be said to be weak for us now.It took a few seconds to crush, and the food in the inventory just increased.

The second day ended up climbing to the sixth.

When you get here, it's about the same height you climbed on the needle ice peak.In order to get used to my body, I started camping before noon and got used to my body for half a day.

Day three.

"How far are you gonna climb today?

"I'm thinking about aiming for the eighth.If someone's condition changes, it stops before it does, but as a goal, it's the eighth.

"I heard strong monsters are coming from around here.It's strange to tell Sinya and the others, but be careful.

"Copy that. I'll proceed with caution.

As Senna said, a few minutes after leaving the sixth inning, an A-rank monster, Red Snake, appeared.

Rank A also increases the number of individuals who do not escape by looking at rats, and increases the number of fights.

Crusading monsters wasn't that hard in itself...

"Hah... hah..."

At the end of the battle, Nil was short of breath.

I'm not feeling ill. I just seem to be out of breath, but I have fairly rough breathing.

"Are you okay?

"Ha... yes..."

I don't think so.

"Let's take a break.

"I'm sorry..."

"Never mind.Climbing this far makes the air fairly thin.Smoking or smoking is painful.

Not only Nil, but I also feel the difficulty of breathing.

"When it comes to fighting, it moves pretty hard.I'll wait until you get a good breath.

Yes...

At heights, fighting at heights is painful.Sometimes you don't understand unless you actually stand there.

"Is Rato okay?

I also have a little difficulty breathing.I've never climbed such a high mountain.

Looking down, the area around the foot is no longer visible because of the kasu.It is often said that mountains reach to heaven.

Looking up, the sky is really close.

When Nil's breath is ready, we'll start over.

Repeat the fight, break... when the monster appears.

"That's enough for today.

It didn't arrive by the eighth inning, but the seventh inning went beyond and stopped moving.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's not Nil's fault!Don't apologize!

"But..."

"It's not a good idea to blame yourself for this right away!It's hard to breathe even though we're not fighting!

"Senna's right.

Nil, sit down and rest.I'll prepare the camp.

"Sorry."

"Don't apologize!

Sena raised her index finger in front of Nil who tried to apologize again.

"Uhh... ah, thank you.

Alright!

Sena nodded satisfied with her hands on her hips.

For Nil, he's probably the best friend I've ever had.

Sinya.

"What's wrong?

Rat stopped by and called out to me as I was preparing for camp.

Those masks.You're not coming, are you?

"... ahh. I was hoping I'd do something... but I still haven't heard from you.

Rat was also on the lookout for the surroundings.

This mountain seems to be one of the places where there are many monsters and people don't get close to it, and it's a great location if it comes under attack.

I was wary of attacking anytime, but nothing was too scary.

"Do you want me to run around and look around?

"... I see.Can I ask you something?

As long as you're alert to night raids and shrink your nerves, it's better to keep your surroundings safe first.

Okay! I'm coming!

Rat runs to keep his surroundings safe.

I thought you said you were having trouble breathing... but are you used to it?

If anything happens to Rato, we'll find out soon, and I'll finish my job.

By the time the camp was ready, Nil's breathless face was gone.I was taking a break, drinking Nil's tea, waiting for Rato to come home...

"...?!

I feel a strong sense of vigilance in the spirit of Rato.

"Rat?! Enemy?!

I don't know. But... I think it's strong.

"Master!

"Rato, I'm coming!

We know roughly where the rat is.

I ran straight to the place.

When you see a large figure of Rato, you see someone standing in front of him.

I draw my sword as I approach. [M]

Not a monster as far as I can see, but a person.It's probably a demonic race.

But it's not like the masks I've seen before.If Rato waits for us to arrive and doesn't put his hand in it, it's a good match.

Rat!

"Sinya, be careful.

………

Perhaps the most correct word to describe the person in front of you is... Shinobi...

Clothes made of all over black fabric.There are leaflets wrapped around the wrist and ankle.

The head and nose are also covered with black fabric, and only the black eyes are visible.He is one head smaller than I am.

The ninja itself.

If this had been in the game, I might have laughed, but when I actually saw it, I had a very suspicious feeling.

"Who are you?!

Nil is in full hostile mode.

They must have met on the continent and imagined the black robes targeting Nil.

"... ninja...?

Sena utters the word.

"Sena, do you know?

"Yeah... I've never seen them before, but they live in the West Side of the Ghost City.

"To the West End?

"Yes, the Four Ones of the West Side are famous for being the ninja leader.

Move around the back job.

It seems good to think that it is the same as the ninja passed on to Japan...

Even though it looks good, it also has a high ability to hide.

I wonder if you won't notice until Rat gets close... how to erase the signs of using his powers...
