Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Lesson 417 Growth
"Shit! Poison! Don't inhale! Go around!"
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
In front of the bandits who tried to chase after the poisonous spores, the spores suddenly began to spread vigorously all around.
"W-What was that?!"
"Wow! Don't come!" Don't come! "
The bandits were being tampered with by the poisonous smoke that had suddenly become active.
When I turned my gaze back, I could see the magic circle disappearing from Nil's hand.As soon as I understood that I had thrown a vial of poisonous smoke, I began to draw a magic circle of the wind, and it seemed to amplify the damage.
I can assure you that there is no partner other than Nil who can be relied upon so far.
When Nil thanked her with her gaze, she gazed forward happily.
"We have a souvenir too!"
Heine and Pilte also activated magic when pushing no good.
A black rose tree appears behind them.
Vampire magic, Dark Rose Evie. I used to be paralyzed by a numbing poison, but this time it contains a poison that kills my opponent.
"Damn it! I'm out of your way!"
"Cut it! Cut it!"
I'm impressed that I can emerge so vigorously against the magic that I don't really understand.
Unfortunately, those who touched Dark Rose Evie and were wounded won't be able to follow us any further.
I'll finish!
Open the lid of several test tube bottles and drain the contents so that they spread out directly behind you.When I thought that all the contents had been discharged, the body of the slatan disappeared, and the slatan that appeared a little far away was spraying something on the ground in the same way.
The contents of the test tube were light blue mucus.Probably a normal slime lysate.
[Dissolution solution (slime)... Dissolution solution made from slime.It can dissolve any organic matter.]
It's different from the lysate that melts anything we want, but it's also useful with normal slime lysate.For example, if you spread it on the ground like this, and the pursuer runs on it...
"... what is it?!"
Suddenly, the pursuers' legs slowed down.Looking back, everyone is looking at their feet.
When I look closely, I see that the soles of my shoes are gone and I see my bare feet.
I can't kill you, but it's enough to stop you, right?
"Oh, well done."
Yay!
As usual, Surakitan is trying to avoid harming people except for his own attacks.There is still resistance to killing, but I'm relentlessly thinking that if I start killing my opponent with my research results, I won't be able to return as a researcher...
Different people think differently, but in the case of Surakutan, it draws a line there.
I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing for Surakutan.The time may come for the idea to hurt himself.But if you're saying it's his...... Sura-Tan's act as a researcher, I think you should protect him as much as you can.And I think it's my... manhood to protect it together.
It's a strange thing.
When I was in the other world, I didn't think I had any allies around me.
I'm always alone, surrounded by enemies.I felt that the more I believed in others, the more I was deceived, hurt, and told that I was a person who was not worth living every time.
It's the same for Surakutan.There was something in the internet, but I never expected anything or trusted it.
In the game Van der Jeu, I think Sura Tan was a good friend.I only thought about the spice in the conversation when I kept saying that it was Mabdachi.No, I think that's all I thought, even if it was Surakutan.
That's... less than half the time I've spent in the game since I've come to this world, and I want to protect even Surakutan.
Is it because we're talking in front of a bloodbath?Or is it because we fought to save each other's lives?
Maybe they're also heavily involved.But most of all.....
Ka-cha...
Place your hand on your chest and hear the blue stones and small horns touching your neck.
I now have people who have taught me important things as a person.I think that changed my mind.
It's a world where I'm the only one who can beat people to death and burn people's hearts.Normally, it's like throwing out a piece of shit.
Still, for me...
I'm going into the woods!
Heine's screaming voice pulls me to my consciousness.
It is not the case that you are drowning in thoughts.
Looking back, he's quite far away from the pursuer.If we go into the forest like this and distance further, we will be able to completely tear off the pursuer.But one more move. Then it can be peeled off more easily.
"Run while developing trap magic appropriately!"Everyone watch out for monsters and other pursuers! "
"Shinya-kun is also practicing the magic circle while running."
When drawing a magic circle while running, my hand slipped and the magic circle was not completed, I just had to disappear, but it was completed, but I couldn't aim well, and sometimes it exploded.Honestly, I blew myself up several times and got injured.That's what Sura-Tan is talking about.
If you're in danger of getting through this mess, shouldn't you?
Even so, if I didn't do that much, I couldn't get through the situation.Someone who needs to be driven...
"... because I and Cynthia are so fascinated by the game, I might be in a domineering temperament."
"Tell me you hate losing."
"Hahaha. That's right.
I'll take care of the people around me!I guarantee your safety, Cynthia! "
I'm begging you!
I run through the trees, triggering trap magic one after another.
Right front! Monster!
"I'll go!"
Left-hand side! That's a lot of them!
Let's put up a smoke screen!
Every time I walked through the trees, I went deep into the forest.In other words, it was close to the monsters' living areas.The monsters were also attacking sudden intruders.When you run, that moment, that moment of judgment, is a big part of the result.
Still, the four of you who pulled me out handle the monsters properly and quickly.
Rather than scratching me, monsters can't even get near me.
"Gaaaaa!"
"Trap?! When?!"
"Damn it! There's a buddy in the back!?"
A slight voice can be heard from behind.
They didn't think we were running a trap, and they misunderstood us as the ones who stole Zarain.
Then some thoughts will come to the mind of the pursuers.
Some people think they've set up the trap beforehand, but there's a buddy in the back, and they put the trap in place.We're getting around it.If we keep pushing like this, we'll be pulled into the middle of enemy territory and killed all at once...?You'd think so. If such a thing comes to mind for a moment, your legs will become heavy unconsciously.
If you're going to run to a place where you know you might die, it's better to let you go... If you go too far, your legs won't move any further.
Everything we're doing hasn't changed, but the distance is getting farther and farther away, and there's one more person to stop us.
If that happens, it will be sooner.When the first one gives up, they are pulled back and give up the pursuit one after the other, and in no time the pursuer is gone.
"You gave up earlier than I thought."
I finally calmed down and stopped where I could talk.
I was wondering if there was a covert pursuer after...
About that, though.
Slatan raises his hand in a small way.
"There seems to be a lot of slime around here."We got together while we were running, but now we're spreading out around Pure Tan.
I won't say absolutely, but I think I will know when something comes.It's my first time trying too, so if you trust me too much, I'll be in trouble... "
"Can you do such a thing...?"
"I don't know if I can read the slime accurately, or what will happen, because Pure Tan feels the slime and I feel it..."
"But it's worth a try."If it works, it might not work in the city, but if it's a slime-free environment, it's a great way to spot enemies. ”
"If you expect too much, don't expect too much because I'm afraid of when things don't go well."
"Unbelievably, the test run is until the destination, so please try it at the same time as Heine's enemies."If it seems to work well, let's leave it to the slimes. "
”I'm getting nervous...”
"It's all right. Worst of all, we're here, and we're not that nervous."That said, if Piltee is the one who doesn't notice, it's highly likely that I won't notice either... "
”I'm getting so nervous!”
Though Surakutan was quite nervous, Slimes' ability to find enemies was really excellent and proved to be practical.
Originally, Slime was a weak class of monsters, so it had a high ability to spot enemies, which might be attributed to it.No matter what, I really appreciate being able to spot good enemies.Believing in the ability of the Slimes to find enemies, we went to the base of the former handymen we had planned.
There were some former bases from Garosa, but we chose an abandoned village in the southwest from Ponatala.
I was able to move around discreetly and arrive that night.
According to Garrosa, it was a village that was abandoned a long time ago, and the cause was a handyman.It has been a long time since people were already gone, and the village has been taken into the forest, and now there is something like a trace of the existence of the village.
Naturally, there is no such thing as a building, and the space where the field would have existed and the wood that would have been used as building material are in a situation where some of the plants that grow from the ground can be seen.
If you didn't know that it was an abandoned village, it would look like a small space with few trees in the forest.
It may be strange that Garrosa introduced us to a place where there is nothing, but in fact, there are green grass around here.
A plant that produces an odor that monsters hate, avoiding natural monsters.
The grasses have been growing since the time this village was created... but it seems that the village was made here because the grasses were growing. Even if the village is gone, only the grasses remain.
Garrosa realizes that and manages the grass, treating it as a resting place for the fugitives as a place where the monsters can't get close to each other.
People fleeing from slavery and debt collectors do not have carriages, and they will travel on foot through vast lands.Moreover, in the woods, so that no one can find them.That way, you can move quite easily to hidden villages by just having rest areas in the forest.
Which means we're going to be renting one of those rest areas for a while.
Do you want to create a base with magic?
"... no. Let's stop that."
I'll give it back to Pilate.
If you overcame the rainstorm in a place where there was nothing, it was not wrong to create a simple base around earth or tree magic.However, this is a place used as a relay point by people who have no power and can only escape.If you leave a bad trail and the bandits find it, it will hurt people who might use it in the future, not us.
"We'll stay here and leave no trace of the people we can."
"... ah! Is that what you mean!"
Pilte seems to understand my intentions.is raising an eyebrow with his index finger up.
"In that case, it seems like a tent would be good."Even when I use fire, I use magic so as not to leave any trace as much as I can... no, is the magic tool better? "
"Please consult with Nil to decide about that."I don't care if there's no trace left.I'll have everything I need, everything I can prepare. "
"I-Is it okay for us to decide...?"
Fufufu...
Heine smiles happily as she sees Pilté looking a little anxious.
"You have to respond to Cynthia's trust, don't you, Pilate?"
"... ah!"
Heine told me to leave it to me, and I got exactly what I meant, Pilate.
Nil!
"Yes! I will make the perfect thing!"
Yeah!
Pilté, who was already motivated to speak to Nil, was putting his hands into his mood with his fists.
It was the same in this case, but Pilte did well in the absence of Heine and me.I haven't heard the details, but Sura helped me catch the lord.And sooner than I expected.
Piltee's hard work must have been great, because he did it so quickly.And there is a process in which you not only do what you are told, but also think and act on your own.
The process is the result of Nil's efforts as a competitor not to lose to Nil.I know that, too.Heine is also trying to make Pilate stand on its own.I can't put a lid on it.
Nil and Pirte were still growing.If so, it's better to leave it to the two of you than to do it badly.It's normal to think like that.Now, I'm not ready to go straight to battle, but I'm sure we'll be able to do that soon.If that happens, the power of this party will be greatly enhanced.
"I'll check the placement of the slimes."
"Yeah. I'm begging you."
Grass is a plant that emits a scent that monsters don't like, and it often doesn't work for monsters that don't have a sense of smell like slime.In other words, the slime can come and go as it pleases.There are a few slimes around us, but they can also be placed in the woods to make it easier to spot.I left the slime to Surakutan.
Cynthia-san, thank you.
After seeing off Surakitan's back, Heine says thank you in a small voice.I was grateful to Pilte and Nil for entrusting me with building a base.
"No. It's a plus for all of us."You don't have to thank me. "
"Still, thank you."
……………
Heine thanked me for my words.His face was a smile, and he could only see tenderness in his smile.
"When we left the demon world... honestly, I was filled with anxiety."
While the two of them were discussing, looking at Pilte and Nil, who were deciding what to do under the light of the lantern, Heine said something unusual and weak.
"I was really worried... if I could do it... if I could do it well."
I'm a thin-blooded vampire.Even though I didn't have much power, I was out in the demon world, trying to find someone better than me, so I was just worried. "
"... just four people." Although I had other allies, I didn't accompany them, and the black dog was released.That must be unsettling. ”
"And when the two of my men died because of that anxiety, I resented myself from the bottom of my heart."You killed him because of me...No. I still hate myself like this. ”
………………
There's still a thorn in her heart that killed her men.No, it won't go away.
"Since then, I've been in the dark."In both a physical and a spiritual sense. ”
The light of Nil's lantern hits Heine's crimson eyes and reflects back.
"No sign of Aravor, no clue."It was a hard day to suffocate.
Piltee looked at me like that, and she was just as bad as she was offering to go outside to get her magic rose. ”
"So, Pilte was alone in the florist..."
"Yes... it was Shinya and Nil-chan who showed up at that time."
The first encounter was the worst.
Me and Nil went to catch the killer and tried to kill us to protect the demons. I remember it very well.
I'm attacking you all of a sudden...
"Ah, that's... um... sorry..."
Do you think you've done something bad, Heine with an unusual and dirty face?
"I don't really see Heine's face like that, so it's pretty fresh."
"Ah!?! Shinya-san!"
When Heine noticed that it was a prank, she raised her eyebrows while dyeing her cheeks and embarrassing herself.
"Haha. I'm sorry. I'll listen to you. So?"
"...... already......"
Heine laughed a little dumbfounded and returned her feelings.
"... when Simya-san and Nil-chan showed up, I was just suffering from a postcard in the darkness I couldn't see."
I can't see the light after all this time.I gave up thinking that maybe there was no such thing from the beginning.
But it wasn't. "
Heine meditates and opens her eyes to me at the same time.
"The two of you came to me."
Heine's eyes seemed to have a mix of emotions.I can't get rid of all of that.
"Even though I've lived so long, I was angry and had a hard time when I was wrong."
What the hell am I doing?
I let my daughter, Pilte, worry and lament about her inability to do anything... it was Pilte who brought them here after all. "
…………………
When I looked into Heine's eyes, no more mischievous words came out of my mouth,
