The mushroom is, as the name suggests, a poisonous mushroom that is useful for detoxifying mushrooms obtained in mycelium forests inhabited by dwarfs.

However, this detoxified mushroom is a mushroom that can be found in forests other than the mycelium forest, and can be obtained without asking the dwarves.

However, due to the small number of mushrooms outside the mycelium forest and the small number of people who know that this mushroom has detoxifying effects in the first place, it seems to be something that is not found in the market.

Some doctors seem to know about it, but it seems subtle whether or not they have it as medicine.

One of the reasons for this is the appearance of mushrooms.The mushrooms are red and blue striped and resemble shiitake mushrooms.The smell is also terrible and sour.There's a mushroom growing right in front of me, okay!This looks delicious! It won't be easy.

Conversely, Futsuka mushrooms have a brown monochromatic appearance of matsutake.Because it smells fragrant, people who think they can eat it are often found in bodies in a completely different place two days later.

Incidentally, when mixing poison, even if the poison is extracted and converted into liquid, the scent and color will come out, so if it is not mixed with something like fruit liquor, it will be noticed.That's why they mixed the drinks in.

You may know the bandits because they live in the woods, but it has been confirmed that there are no Japanese mushrooms and no Japanese mushrooms around.

In places like Futsuka Mushrooms, it seems that even if you know about Futsuka Mushrooms, there are quite a few things you don't know about mushrooms to detoxify... but if you see them in a hurry, you don't know either.

I often hear that mushrooms shouldn't be handled by amateurs, but that's exactly what bandits in situations say.Well, we fed him.

But not everyone will be infected by this poison.

There must be some people who don't eat the poisonous food we mixed in.I don't know how many...

"Okay, please... help me..."

A man who breaks his knees and sits on the spot, hears my words and feels cut off.She looks pretty pale and sweaty.

He doesn't even seem to have the strength to call on his friends.Normally, there would be two gatekeepers, but now there is only one person who has sat in front of me because of the lack of manpower.

Looks spicy. Shall I make it easy for you? "

I'll pull out the straight sword hanging on my waist.

The sword is in the inventory.I can't yet be known to be a rumored man.

"This... scum..."

"Bandits say that?Do you think the victims of what you've done have repeatedly spoken the same words to you? "

"... shit..."

Even so, the man who hasn't called for help yet.

The plan was for a little more people to come together and talk... but this might be convenient.

"If you don't want to die so much, can I tell you where the antidote is?"

"Oh, really?!"

You think it's a straw, but you believe my words. It's not bad.

"It's true. We just have to meet Zana.I can help you if you want me to put that arrangement in place. "

"Alright! If that's all I can do, I can do it!"

Your complexion looks a little better.Looks like he's back on his feet.

"Well, then go to the lush forest and find this mushroom to eat.And it goes back. "

That's what I'll show you with a brown mushroom.

Yes, I'm not showing you a mushroom, I'm showing you a mushroom.It is the poison mushroom that is causing the man to suffer now.

"Is that the antidote?!"

Ah.

Then give it to me!

"No, this is mine.If you want it, go pick it yourself. "

"I don't have the strength to go to the woods anymore! Please!"

"If that's the case, you can ask a healthy guy.Shouldn't I be faster than that?If you don't move quickly, your life will run out soon. "

"Nh!!"

The man who was supposed to say he had no health left abandons the gatekeeper and enters the wall.

"You're confused enough to break in like this."

"Nevertheless, fewer people have ever held a sword.We're not after Zana, we're after her. "

"I know. If you can hold back here and reduce the number of enemies, you won't have to wait a little longer."

We'll stay away from the castle for a while and see what happens.

Then Zorosolo and the bandits emerged from the wall, even though it wasn't long enough.

"About 70% of them look ill."

"Thirty percent of them are healthy... pretty good."

"You've got quite a few."

"Their lives are at stake, so I guess they couldn't stop us.

Besides, it's time for us to move. "

A weakened castle. We can't just take it... at once.

No matter how many enemies there have been, there are still many inside the walls.Until now, I have experienced many rounds with a large number of people, so I understand how important it is to profit from numbers in battle.If you have fewer opponents, it's better to have fewer.

And what is possible is not bravery, but mere recklessness and laziness.

We went first to track down and chase those who went out.

The important thing is to reduce the number of enemies by decreasing them.

"Hurry up! Our lives are in vain!"

"Fuck you! Me too!"

"Good, let's go! This is the last time we need!"

A group that aims straight for the rich forest.There are over a hundred people.If only these people knew that they were just going straight to the rich forest, they would definitely put the trap on the road first.

This is the situation where the trap can be used most effectively.

"Can't you move faster?"

"Run quietly!"

"Gwaaaaaaaa!"

"Hmm, what?!"

Face to face the screams that will be heard in the distance, and they will argue with something.

"T, there's a trap!Several people have been killed! "

"What are you talking about?!"

"I don't know!"

Men who are confused by good health.That's the problem.

"Hey... I didn't hear anything like this!That doesn't suit me! "

A poisoned person asks a fellow thief to help, but no one is a thief who can help in return.Those who have not been poisoned, but have just arrived in return, put the danger and reward on the balance, and if it is judged that the danger is higher, they choose not to get lost.

Of the more than 100 people, 30% cannot be overlooked going back to the castle.He came out with a saw outside the corner castle, so he wanted to deal with it without anyone else's eyes.

"Sorry, I'm going down!"

Me too!

Men who turn their heels one after the other.About ten people leave the group to go home.

The castle already knows that the poison was attacked by us.In other words, it is highly likely that you are on alert.Once you get inside the castle, you won't be able to do it easily.We need to kill him before that happens.

"All right, we're out of here."

"From here on out, we'll just have to deal with those who want to go back."

"Oh, let's go."

"Yes."

Nil and I will wait before about ten people try to get back on the road.

"... you guys. Suspicious people who were poisoned."

Looking at Nil and me, the bandits pull out their weapons.

"Don't you think it's pathetic to leave your people alone and run away?"

"Ha! Does that look like a feeling to you?"

"... I don't think so."

Men scattered among the trees.Many have swords.

"Sorry to bother you, but we have to go after the rest of them.I'm going to finish this. "

"Try it. Just because we're noble bandits doesn't mean we can't kill people."

"It doesn't matter. When you two didn't notice, the game was settled."

What?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

"Gu... hah..."

Heine and Pilte, who were waiting on the tree, were able to drop advanced earth magic and spear rain from above.

Bandits who hadn't noticed Heine and Pilte were devastated in an instant by their exhaustion.

"You're too creepy to be afraid."

"Didn't you realize we were four?"

"Only me and Nil showed up at the main gate.Heine and Pilte probably didn't notice. "

"I didn't mean to lose my temper, but I thought it would be a little more difficult."

"At this time, no one outside the castle is likely to be targeted by the enemy.Doing it is either poisoned or difficult to imagine.

I should be careful, they may be poisoned and desperate. "

"But didn't Shinya tell you about the mushrooms?"

"A plan to reduce our enemies would end up giving us more information.I don't do such stupid things. "

Pretty bad operation, huh?

"They've done more than that.If Master decides to do this to someone like that, that's all. "

Depending on who you're fighting against, I don't know how you feel, but I've fought with the body as an undead.I don't think of a better way to fight now.I will use everything I can.

"When we get here, there's nothing wrong with finding the body.We're going after them as they go back. "

Yes!

As we follow the others, almost all of our traps are active, and we can see the traps hanging dead everywhere.

In addition to pendulum-shaped traps, there are simple traps with thorns sprayed with Aytovarus venom on the ground, and vampire magic traps used by Heine and Pilte.

Especially egg traps are magic traps in vampire magic called corrosion blades.

It's a type of magic that activates when you step on it. At the same time, a dagger-like black blade that has a corrosive effect on the person who stepped on it jumps out, and when you get injured, it necroses from there.

From the back of the woods, you can hear the screams of those who were trapped, as if they were painful or unimaginable.

"I thought it was bad magic from the moment I heard it, but it's more like it."

"There's a lot of stuff you need for the medium, and there's only one place you can install it, so considering the hassle, it's probably inefficient."

"From the beginning, I intended to instill fear in a group of enemies rather than destroy them one after the other with a corrosion blade.It's working well. "

Inspired by fear, those who have not been intruded by the poison that has arrived here also try to return their heels.We'll take care of it.With that, the number of people decreases even further.

Incidentally, this corrosion blade actually heals easily with only commercially available wound medicine.It looks like an egg trap, but the way to deal with it is surprisingly light.However, because most people faint due to unusual pain caused by corrosion, it seems that treatment is often impossible without the help of others.

If this were someone like Eagle Crow who risked his life for his people, he would have been dealt with immediately.Wound medicine is a necessity not only for adventurers, but also for most people.If you get injured, start with scratch medicine.This is the iron rule. All you have to do is apply scratch medicine to the iron rule, but bandits can't do that for their friends, and those who faint with pain die.

"It looks like half of it will be cleared before we get to the rich forest."

"There are about a dozen healthy people left, so let's focus on them."

"Got it."

Arrived in the rich forest a little more than expected, about sixty people.

"Hey! Move it together! This is a rich forest!"

"Fuck! I'm dying!"

Those who entered the rich forest looked around for the mushrooms I showed them.

Futsuka mushrooms are also mushrooms that are rarely found outside the mycelium forest, but they are confirmed to be native.It is likely to grow in the rich forest.

However, since many adventurers enter the outer periphery of the rich forest, the number of plants and mushrooms that seem to be there is small, and it is difficult to find.I mean, in order to find them quickly, we need to get inside.

Then, since the rank of the monsters that naturally appear increases, it is no longer a mushroom.And in case you find the same mushroom, it's a poisonous mushroom.After all, death is inevitable.

"You have entered the rich forest."

"In this forest, a botanical monster eats and dies from those who stand out.It should move as tightly as possible.

We will definitely take down those who run away in fear.Don't let anyone escape. "

"Yes."

Men who desperately fight forest monsters to live and keep searching for poison mushrooms.

Sixty people will kill most monsters, but still the number of monsters in the rich forest is unusual.In addition, monsters of A rank just slightly farther into the back come close.

All four of us can destroy monsters of A rank, and once we meet Allen, we are in a rich forest, and we have experienced fighting monsters here, so we can easily eliminate them.

Besides, there's a huge crowd going around in front of us, so we're quietly lurking without first being targeted.

"No, stop it! Stop it!"

"Damn it! Kill him! Hurry!"

If people suffering from poison and feeling ill are surrounded by A-ranked monsters, it is only natural that they will be killed without being able to demonstrate their true ability.

Just hiding in the shadow of a tree and watching, one man after the other becomes a source of nutrition for the rich forest.

"Wow... as the number of people decreases, there's nothing we can do."

"There are no sieves in sieves from the beginning.The problem is the rest of them. "

Sixty of them are already down to forty, but the rest of them are pretty good bandits, fighting A-rank monsters pretty well.

"Keep going!"

"Uh-oh!"

With a pale blue face, even if they're not feeling well, if they're willing to die, they seem to be able to move, and the men move on while they're in a dumpling state.When we get here, there's no one left to run from.If you leave the group, you understand that it leads to death.

"Dammit! Brown mushrooms are so rotten!"

"Which one is it?!"

"Here, this is it! This is definitely it!"

The man we showed the mushroom seems to have found the mushroom and is holding it in his hand.

"Haha! I did it!"

Zashh!!

"Guhah... no... nh..."

"Hahahaha..."

Another blue-faced man who saw a raised mushroom stabs the man with a sword from behind with an ugly smile and grabs the mushroom in his hand.

"Nghh! Hah! Nghh!Ah! Hahaha! We can survive this!Hahahahaha! "

She cheeked with joy and smiled with a happy expression.

"It's such an ugly fight."

"By the time I die, I know who I am, and I guess I'm the one with the roots."

"Shit! Is this it?! This mushroom?!"

The only thieves who don't know which mushroom we're looking for are the ones who killed the people who showed us the mushrooms, and put brown mushrooms in their mouths without knowing anything.

Of course, if you do that, there's a poisonous mushroom inside...

"Gwaaaaaaaa!"

"Ngiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!"

The unlucky ones are falling down in agony one after the other.

"If this happens, it's over."

"If I could work with others just a little bit more, I would have died like a human being in the end."

"These people were hopeless."

From there, it was just that the way of life of the remaining forty fell apart.

Ten people died eating mushrooms properly.Fifteen people were finally incapacitated by poison and eaten well by monsters.I saw it and tried to escape, but in the end, five monsters killed me.

The remaining ten or so continued to struggle to the end...

"Damn it! Fight in circles!If you stick out, they'll kill you! "

"The monsters appear one after the other!There's nothing we can do about it! "

"Calm down! If you hurry, you'll die!"

It seems that there is someone who can think calmly even in this desperate situation.Luck isn't the only thing left.Unfortunately, however, their destination has been determined.

Zozozozozozozozozo!

Something big is approaching from behind the botanical monsters that were blocking the rest of them.

"You're lying..."

It appears to be an S-ranked botanical monster, Evie Tree.The monster is as thick and long as a tree called a giant tree.

Extremely Regenerative, Physical Attacks are almost Nullified, and no Magic, Tree, Earth, or Water Magic works.

A party like ours, good at magic, can be defeated without much trouble, but a monster who can't defeat the bandits in front of him.

"Oh no! Evie Tree! Back off!"

Gusha!

In front of the man in command, one of the bandits was crushed by Yvette and blood splashed from the ruptured body.As Yvette moves around, she takes the crushed body into her body.
