Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Gah! Gah!

Whenever Nil moves his shield, the root of the shaken metal thorn strays from Nil's body and strikes the ground.

Beautiful silver hair shakes and sparkles under sparks.He dances gracefully in the light of the lantern we hang on our hips.I don't even look that way.

"I won't let Nil dress well!"

Heine and Pilte split left and right to sandwich the metal thorn while Nil was holding it down in the front.I already have a magic team on hand.

Pilte!

Yes!

The Heineken decree activates both magic simultaneously.

Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock!

A few stone spears that cross from left to right.

Advanced Earth Magic, Spear Rain.

Many spears pierce the blue flowers of the metal thorn, making instant damage.

Nil, take the right!

Yes!

After Metalthorne was attacked, Nil and I jumped into a slight gap.

"Haaaaaa!"

"Hey ahhhhh!"

Fuck! Fuck!

My strike cut Metal Thorne in the same way as before.

Nil's blow into the heart of Metal Thorne.

Zuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

The two metal thorns lay on the ground and completely stopped moving.

"... this is amazing..."

Slattan conveys his honest feelings.

"Nil's avant-garde power, but Heiner and Pilte were so strong... honestly, I didn't expect this.First of all, the opponent is an A-rank monster, but I can't believe how easy it is to defeat it... it seems easier to collect than I thought. "

As for slaughter, it seems that if there were me and slaughter, I would have come to collect it thinking that I could protect three women, but if there were a monster of A rank, I would have the power to destroy them even if I didn't protect them.

Moreover, Nil didn't use any items, and Heine and the others didn't use vampire magic.In other words, the three of us are not serious yet.

And since Slattan can see and understand that, he still thinks that there are three strengths.That's why I'm surprised.

"Nil-san's movements are quite unique.I've never seen such a fight. "

"One person gave me a guide.I had a lot of trouble at first, too.No, it's still far from perfect. "

I see. But I also saw a sharp step that made you feel Sinya-kun's movements, so I guess it's mixed well... "

"Yes! But... Master's swordsmanship is still hard to understand..."

"I've seen it for the first time since I've been here, but I can't compare the behavior of the past."

I was able to move things that I couldn't do during the game, but I was able to do it with my body.I guess that's what you're talking about.

"Without it, I don't think I'd be able to catch up with Sinya-kun if I thought about it as a standard.Shinya-kun is quite a special person. "

"I feel bad about that way of saying it?"

"There's nothing special about solo playing such a cat gay, is there?"

"Ugh...."

"I don't think there are any more monsters around, so I think it's time to start collecting them."

I was told everything I wanted to say, but without any objection, the sampling begins.

"This herb and... this herb, please."

I'm going to pull out some of the herbs that are growing on the ground and show them...

"I know, but..."

Because I have appraisal magic, I can immediately tell which one is the same, but from the other three, I don't know which one is.

"Hmm... I don't know how to explain it..."

Although herbal harvesting is not a common herb, it is understood by people who know it, but it is not clear to people who do not know it.

"I would like you to gather plants similar to this one.I'll sort it. "

Got it!

"Ah, and I'll tell you about the plants you need to watch out for first."

There were quite a few dangerous plants that Slatan taught me, but naturally I don't know which one.If I can't use forensic magic, I'll never know.

"Well... there are many things, but you don't know.That's why I got you dressed up.Essentially do not touch unnecessary items.If you do this thoroughly, you'll be fine. "

Though dangerous plants are poisonous, they don't move like monsters.If we don't do something bad, it doesn't matter if we have the poison.In other words, do not touch anything other than medicinal herbs, and wear leather gloves when harvesting medicinal herbs. That's what I mean.

"When I ask you, there are a lot of poisonous plants, right?"

"That's because it's one of the features of this rich forest.There aren't many of them in the ordinary woods.Here, the enemy of the plant is the plant.That's why I think there are many poisonous plants that can protect themselves.

That said, there are poisonous plants in ordinary forests, and basically you should not pick up or eat them.Inside are fruits with a sweet smell of poisonous fruit... and so on. "

I don't pick up or eat. In this world, picking up and eating can be more common than you think.

For example, if you are a slave like Nil and you are barely fed, there are people who eat plants, insects, or anything that you really think you can eat to fill your stomach.

The same is true of those who have to hide, like Heine and Pilte.

In places where the gap between rich and poor is high, the poor often die eating the right food.

Not just the poor.If a famine breaks out, so do ordinary civilians.

Slattan knows that, so I'm not kidding, I'm serious.

If you're a handler, you don't have to do that because you can use the inventory, but it's an unusual thing for this world.

"It's still very dangerous to put something you're not sure about in your mouth."

Do you remember him? Pilte, Heine, and Nil nodded well and were convinced.I guess I'm happy that I don't know that kind of life.

Collect herbs in the vicinity for a while, and when the required amount is collected, move to another location and collect again.Knowledge of the decade of slaughter and knowledge of medicinal herb habitat make it so easy to harvest, but without it it it will be difficult to walk through the deep forest.

"I've collected almost everything I have to collect on the outside, but..."

"I think I've collected quite a bit, but do you still need anything?"

"One last thing, it's a little embarrassing."

"I'm already having trouble with the environment around here...?"

Every time the lantern fire sways, the shadows of the surrounding trees also sway.

Without lanterns, this forest would be in complete darkness.Each time you move a little, a botanical monster appears to fight.Sometimes botanical monsters of the type that move during the harvest attack.

If this is a monster with some intelligence, they won't attack when they decide that they can't beat them, but the plants don't have that kind of judgment, so no matter how much they knock them down, they don't kill.

If I had to go to any more trouble, I'd be devastated.

"Among the monsters in the outer layer, there are several kinds of troubling monsters, but one of them, Yvette, is where they are."

Evie Tree is an S-rank botanical monster that came out when she lured bandits into the woods.Anyway, it's a big, cymbal-shaped monster that can't be attacked.

"Surely it's a troublesome opponent, but it can't be defeated enough, can it?"

"You and Pilte are pretty nervous, aren't you?"

When it comes to Yvette, it's a little tough for Heine and Pilte.I thought Slatan wanted to tell you about it, but apparently not.

"Evie Tree is the only one I can beat.But if it comes out again and again, the story will be different, right? "

"How many of them... how many of them are coming out?"

"Yes. There's Evie Tree all over the place... and there's all the medicinal herbs we need.It's a plant called Capricorn. "

Sapressi grass?

"It's not used as medicinal herb or poison... it's just one weed, so I don't think I know it."

"Why do you need weeds like that?"

"It's necessary to get the slime microbes out alive."

"Is that possible?"

"Yep... but it's the knowledge I've learned since I contracted pure.

I have a variety of plants in this forest in my room, but only one of them is never close. "

Sapressi grass?

"Yeah, it's a weed that doesn't have any freaks, but I really hate it, so I was worried about it.But I didn't know why.But I knew why last night by pure connection.

Apparently, the grass can take out the microbes contained in the slime without killing them. "

"Can you communicate with Pure Slime so clearly?"

"Yeah, I kind of get it.So I don't know if this information is really accurate or wrong.It's such vague information that I thought I'd talk to you before I went.

Though I think I can handle it alone... "

"Evie Tree sure was good at searching for enemies, wasn't she?"

"Hmm... Yvette has a bearded thin root all around her, and she feels the vibration of her prey and attacks her."

"No matter how much Slater's secret magic and speed there is, Yvette's eyes... the roots can't be deceived, right?"

"Even if they find out, I think if we pick them up before they attack and leave, we'll be able to escape later..."

"With such super fast motion, you can identify and harvest suppressive grass?"

"Ugh...."

"You mean you brought us here to harvest that suppressive grass?"

I've collected several plants so far, but if I knew everything, I could have collected them sooner and more efficiently.Using covert magic would have avoided fighting monsters.

Still, they dared to bring us here to make what we wanted, to harvest simple manpower, and what would be difficult to harvest on our own.

"Yeah... that's what I was going to do at first... but let's just stop it.It's pretty dangerous, and I'll just have to go back and forth a few times. "

"You don't grow anywhere else?"

"Unfortunately, I've never seen the grass in the woods or in the surrounding mountains."

"Is it such a rare plant?"

"As far as I know, it's a plant that only originates in that part of the rich forest..."

Is it a plant unique to this forest?

Eat anything with slime. Given what they say, Slattan's idea is right.If the plants that Slime hates also grow in the woods around here, it is strange that no one knows about them, and if they do, it is difficult to imagine that the Alliance does not grasp the ecology.

"We need a plant called Saplesia, and we can't avoid fighting Evie Tree to harvest it.Then we'll have to do it. "

That's right.

Nil and I will show our willingness to fight Yvette.

"If you let me go alone and get hurt, I'll be in trouble.The lysate and the perpoison can only be made with slurry. "

"I don't know how much Pilte and I can help you, but I'm going to let you in.We need them because we need to follow our lead. "

"I wonder...?"

"Isn't it Slater who brought you here?"

"Yes, but I know it's dangerous when I go..."

Slatter who promised not to use the lysate to kill.As a human being like that, Slattan would be resistant to taking us to dangerous places.

Depending on the number of Ivetrees, the worst will be the Sapless grass, but there is also a hand to run away with the magic of the Holy Spirit.At that time, you may have to give up the lysate and antidote, but you can't replace someone's life.At that time, I will give up the refreshing.

"If that's the case, I'll be there soon.The air is getting wetter than before.When it rains, it gets worse. "

"Let's hurry."

It's not like we have to harvest suppressive grass today, or we can go nearby and turn back first.If you don't go, nothing will start.

So, we headed to the place where the ancient grass came into being, guided by the slaughterhouse.

The location is close to the inner layer.The scenery is the same as the others, but you can see the wounded trees everywhere.Scratches range from old to new, and it can be seen that something large moves frequently while scratching.

The newest wound appears to be coming back from outside the woods.Perhaps Yvette, who we saw when we brought the bandits back here.

"Does Evie Tree have the property of staying in one place?"

"No... I don't think there was such an ecology in the information I know..."

"I've never heard of it either, so it's probably the unique nature of Yvette in this forest.Maybe it has something to do with the suppressive grass... "

There are no other woods, and this forest is the only native grass.Evie Tree's behavior is unusual elsewhere around the grass.There is a sense of discomfort when it is said that there is no relationship.

"It's about time."

Listening to Slattan's words, everyone closes the conversation.Evie Tree will not have hearing, but it will be a sign of tension to be quiet.

Slatter stops next to a big, thick tree and gazes at the back.

"That's it."

"... that's more than I expected..."

Looking into the back, we can see a blurry shadow like Yvette at a distance close enough to reach the lantern light.

I don't know the exact number, but I can see four... no, I can see five.

"Is there a suppressive grass in there?"

"Can you see the ground in the center where Evie Tree is?"

"Oh, it's thin."

"Can you see the plant with the elongated leaves in it?"

"Is it about 20 centimeters tall?"

It is a plant that is everywhere and, to put it bluntly, has a shape similar to an Ojigiso.It's bigger than Ojigiso, but smaller than those plants.

"That's the anchovies."

"It's grown in a bad place..."

Slatan's sapressi grass is arranged around Yvetree, so it's impossible to think of approaching without noticing.The white bearded roots of the nearby trees crawl tightly.The grass is so thick that it doesn't look like it, but it's probably crawling on the ground.

"I don't think we can get through that..."

"Is it magically impossible to just pull the grass?"

"No, it's a seemingly weak plant.Handling miscellaneous items breaks apart and makes them useless.

If there is a well-established method of making lysate and antidote, a small amount would be fine... "

"We don't know anything yet, and considering repeating the experiment, we need quite a bit of it.

Slater's been harvesting that suppressive grass several times, right?How did you get it then? "

"It's roughly a coincidence. I picked it up when I found it growing away from Ivetree.I've never collected anything surrounded like that, but if they were two, I would have been forced to do it at my speed. "

"I see... when that happens, I can't steal Evie Tree's eyes and collect it."

"... after all, I'll do it alone.Everyone, if anything happens to me, get out of here. "

"If you think we're going to forgive it, you're going to get mad at the three of us?"

I look at Nil and the others.

Though I haven't let go of my words, my cold gaze sticks into the slack.

"All of us if we want to."

………………

It would be a terrible thing for Slater to decide what to do here.

"Nil."

"Yes."

"How many can you control by yourself?"

"Two... no, I'll keep the three down."

"Shinya-kun?!"

He seems surprised that we are motivated.

But now is the time to discuss how to fight it.

"No, you don't have to.Override the attack on both of us.Heine, Pilte. "

Yes!

What is it?

"You two go back to Nil's back.Slow down the other Evie Tree with me.Depends on how many other Evie Trees there are, but I'll take them down as fast as I can, so just hang in there.

If you can't, tell me right away without being weird.Blow it up with big magic. Making lysates and antidotes is difficult, but much better than dying. "

"Got it."

Got it.

"If we all do it, we'll make it through.Let's make sure we work together. "

Three people nod at my words.

"Slattan, are you okay?"

"... okay, I'll do my best."

It seems that Slatan is prepared.

"Let's go."

Yes!

Yeah!

Yeah!

The first one to pop out was Slattan.

Before Nil comes forward as a shield, he seems to be able to draw attention and help Nil come forward.

Tang!

Slatter kicks the ground and runs into Evie Tree.
