Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

After beating the Mountain Lizard, Pilte and I walk side by side in a carriage.

It's been a while since I got into the mountains, and now that I'm in the area where the aggressive monsters start to move, I want to make sure that the monsters don't have to attack anytime.

Tetra was frightened at first, but as she watched us crush monsters one after the other, she seemed to be relieved of the tension.

That way, it goes smoothly until noon, and I take a break.

How was it over there?

I guess there were quite a few battles with monsters here.

Since the Surakutans decided the path ahead of us, we had to take a wide area to explore, so we had a high chance of fighting monsters. That's why we split up into three people instead of two.

"However, there weren't any dangerous monsters out there." It was even the highest ranked monster. "

Are there fewer monsters at rank B or higher than I thought?

"No, I don't think so.

Monsters at B-rank and above are more on the mountain. "

Is that so?

"Yes. All the monsters that come down to the foot are pushed out by the competition for survival." In other words, it was a low-ranked monster. At the foot where people can easily reach, they eat less, so the higher-ranked monsters live near the top where they can be eaten. ”

"I see... then, I can only reach the middle of the mountain today, so I won't get any higher ranked monsters."

"That's right... I think the B-rank will stop even if I come out." We've crossed this mountain once, but most A-rank monsters were only near the top. It was a B-ranked monster from the middle belly to the top. Below that, there's a feeling that monsters below rank C... "

"I see... then I think it would be better to camp a little ahead of my stomach today."

“Yeah, I think it's easier at night.”

Alright. Well then, let's go ahead and scout for the area.

Yes.

"After lunch, please rest for a while." We'll go ahead and find a way. ”

Okay, no matter how much you're dealing with C-rank, be careful because monsters are monsters.

"Yeah. It's not the case if you're injured in a place like this."

After lunch, I, Nil and Pilte swap roles with the slackers.

"The slope is getting steeper and steeper, so watch your step."

Yes.

Today the weather is fine and half a day has passed, but the ground in the mountains is still muddy.

"It's hard to walk."

"Because the mud slips." It may be getting a little better, but there are parts where moisture is flying and it becomes extra slippery, so I have to be careful. "

Yes.

"Piltee, what's the situation around?"

"As always, there are always signs of monsters." However, since we have already defeated them several times, it seems that the monsters will not be able to help us easily. "

You mean you're watching me?

If you're a wild animal, stop raiding at a time you think is dangerous, but not a militant monster. If you look at people, they will attack you.

However, the monsters also have brains, so the opponents who know they can't win can't just charge at them with a stupid memory.

If you attack in an environment or timing that is favorable to you, or if you are a highly intelligent monster, you may attack with surrounding objects. I'm asking for that opportunity to keep my distance from us.

It would be easier if you could just keep quiet and let me through.

I'm a monster, so I can't do that.

"I guess... Piltee." Tell me if the monsters come. ”

Got it.

Leaving Piltee to find the enemy, Nil and I begin to choose the path to follow.

Whether it is a road that people can pass, there are traces of scratches of grass and trees, and although it is becoming known that it is a safe passage to a certain extent, the degree of safety varies greatly from time to time. In particular, before and after the rain, the paths to be used change depending on the state of the road and whether it is climbing the mountain or descending.

The trail that scratched the trees is probably the one used by a group of merchants who crossed the mountain before we entered it. For them, the road we're climbing now is the one that came down. If the carriage is used to go downhill, the steep slope will go diagonally downward, and if the slope is not loosened as much as possible, the horse will not be able to withstand the weight of the load carrier and will fall down. If you turn to the right and left, you will go down the slope many times, so if you continue using the road made at that time, it will take too long to climb.

If you can't climb a steep slope straight, you can climb a serpentine, but since it's not that steep, you want to aim for a mountain peak as straight as possible.

In short, we can't use a path that leaves new traces.

Then it seems that it would be good to follow the road that someone would have used before, but when it becomes a road that we don't know what kind of people have passed, we don't know whether it is a road that can be used in a carriage. In the end, we'll have to see for ourselves and find a way through.

"I can't do this... Nil!" What about you?! "

I think we can make it!

We choose a path that will spread out a little, and then we go ahead, leaving our mark. I leave marks often, but it is not a mountain road that is difficult to select as many times as possible, so I move forward crisply. However, if there is a place where a cliff suddenly appears, the mud is terrible, and the wheels of the carriage are likely to be buried, check the surroundings and find a good place before proceeding.

As for the monsters, as Pilte said, they didn't come one after another to see how they were doing, but it wasn't like there were none.

The three of them were travelling along the mountain road, and when they came to the area where the trees were dense or where their feet were bad, they attacked. However, even if they attacked, all of them were to be stored in my inventory. It's evidence that we're getting used to fighting in bad places.

Thus, a few hours after climbing the mountain while making several road choices. We finally made it to the mountainside.

Simya-san, it's time to enter the territory of the B-rank monster.

"Okay. Then... it looks like it's a good idea to camp around here."

In the position where we can see it, the skin of the rock is peeling off, and I can see the place where the trees are not growing.

While checking the surroundings, I decided to hunt down the monsters nearby.

How much do you hunt?

"If you overdo it too much, you'll lose your balance of power, so I think a few will do." If we knew they were going to attack us, the monsters wouldn't come anywhere near us. "

"Then... there are a few monsters that are getting closer to making up, so let's hunt them down."

"All right, show me."

Yes!

According to Pilte's instructions, there were several monsters. A carriage appears as you crush it and wait for the slackers.

I wonder if that's enough for today?

"Yeah, I'll be here all night, and I'll be upstairs tomorrow."

"Roger that. Shall we start preparing the camp?"

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

"I see... well, then, let's make a bonfire with Pilte." Can you use magic? "

You can use it if it's about elementary magic.

“Then we'll be fine. Can you be careful and get some wood and fire for us?”

Yes!

I think I can leave Tetra to Heine and the others. Surakutan is listening to their conversation, but he's not trying to stop it. In other words, it was judged that it was okay to move to that extent.

"Good. We'll pitch a tent."

Yes!

Finish preparing for your familiar camp. By the way, the Effe seems to be getting used to camp preparation, so they helped me prepare without saying anything.

I looked at the sky when everything was ready, but I still had time until nightfall.

It looks like there's still time left, so let's dismantle the monsters we took down today.

I'll help you too!

Tetra is really a hard worker. There is a lot of enthusiasm because it is overlapping with the work that Suratan said he would receive for the money.

Have you ever dismantled it?

"No, no..."

"I don't usually do dismantling."

"First of all, Pilte and I will show you the example, so please look at it."

Got it.

Me and Surakitan take out the monsters we took down today from our inventory. Ten from my side and ten from the slack side. Twenty monsters came out.

"Mountain lizard is the only thing you can eat." After that, if you strip the material and leave it in the woods, other monsters will eat it. ”

Got it.

“Let's get started.”

Nil and Pilte take Tetra to dismantle the monster. The process is the same for all prey, so if you do it several times, you'll be able to dismantle it immediately.

The question was whether it could withstand the grotesque picture.....

"I see... at first it's because it's drained of blood." Are you just going to cut your neck and hang it upside down? "

Apparently, there was nothing to worry about.

"Khaido... No, Cynthia. Would you mind a little?"

The Father is coming for me.

What's the matter?

"It's about tomorrow. This mountain must be climbed serpentinely, even in the most sloping places. It was about the seventh to eighth. If you go beyond that, you can go straight up, but the problem is the way the slope goes."

Aren't you just going on a serpentine path?

"There is a way to simply go on a serpentine path, but that would take too long."

A horse alone would normally climb straight up. ”

"In short, you can store the luggage carrier in the inventory, exit the steep slope, and then unload the luggage carrier again..."

“That's what it is.”

"Wait a minute." So what about Tetra? ”

When Efe and I are talking, Heine comes in from the side of the conversation.

"You can just walk."

I haven't recovered enough to walk the steep path.

“As far as I can see, I don't seem to have a problem walking?”

"What I'm trying to make you walk is a steep slope." I can't let you walk in such a dangerous place. ”

"If I go ahead with the serpentine, it will take more monsters to deal with, and it will take time." It doesn't make much difference in the sense of danger. ”

“The question is who the dangers converge on.”

Hmm, hmm... it looks like it's starting. When this happens, the argument between the two will be long.

Neither opinion is wrong.

If you climb up the mountain, you can get out of the place where B-ranked or higher monsters are turfed. If you can do that, it won't take long. But Tetra hasn't recovered enough to climb the steep slope. It will probably be the same tomorrow.

"That's why I'm saying no!"

"It's dangerous in your way."

Ahh!

Well, well, calm down, both of you.

Between the two people who are arguing, there is a slur.

The two of them, listening to Surakitan's words, unbelievably stop arguing.

Of course, Heine, but it seems that Efu can't ignore it because he is taking care of Surakutan because of his injury.

"I understand what you two are trying to say. I think they're both right, but I think it's better for party leaders to make up their minds here.”

It was a boulder. It's me who's the leader to stop the two of you from arguing in one shot and propose a solution... In short, you're throwing me a whole bowl.

Three people, including Surakutan, turn towards me and stare at me.

”Sura-tan... remember...”

We've been indirectly attacked by Suratan, but I'm pretty sure someone had to make a decision. I think I should get my story together and decide how to do it.

"Well... then, if someone should carry Tetra on their backs and climb, will that solve it?"

"With that on your back... you didn't have that idea..."

“Sure… then we won't have to walk Tetra, and we'll keep going straight.”

When I listened to the two of them and thought about it as a compromise, I just thought this would be the best, but this would solve both Heine's problem and Fu's problem.

Shinya-san!

Thumbs up and laugh. Hit me...

"The question is who will carry it... well, it's me."

Thinking physically, it was different to leave it to the female team. Inevitably, it would be either me or Sura Tank. Then, Slatan's stats shifted to the top of his speed. Considering my health and power, I'm the best fit.

"With all of this face, there's no danger even if I can't fight." So what do you say? "

"I... think it's good."

"I think that's good, too."

Whatever you say, Heine and Fu are arguing calmly about the situation, so if you suggest a solution like this, they will accept it.

If we can do that, I think it would be nice for a solution to emerge between the two of us... but it's strange that it doesn't...

"Good. Then this story is over." Instead, protect me and Tetra. ”

"I'll leave that to you." I won't let you scratch it one by one. "

"...... Ef."

Pasch!

"This is..."

I open the inventory, throw the dagger of the stored foe, and the foe receives it.

"From here on out, I'll have the Ef fight too." It's better to have a lot of strength. "

"... handing me a weapon is a sweet thing after all."

"Whether I'm a sweet guy or not will change depending on the behavior of Efu." Don't make me sweet, okay? "

"... hmm. I know."

Effe wears the dagger he received under his coat.

"Don't push yourself too hard."

"If you only take on the level of monsters here, you won't be forced to enter." Even if I become one-armed, I am originally a unit commander. "

"Sounds great. You can't beat Cynthia."

"What?! You!"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

I entered the room clapping my hands at the right time.

"Ugh..."

"Hmph."

"Both of you, get along a little better..."

I can't!

I can't!

"Hah..."

Suratan sighed as the two of them clung together.

From my point of view, they're not like each other, but they don't seem to like each other, they seem to fit together, and I feel like we can get along...

"Yes, Cynthia." I wonder if it's okay for a little bit? "

"What? Don't be so impatient today."

"What are you talking about?" Shinya-kun is always mottled. "

"Don't say disgusting things with a smile." It's disgusting. "

"Twice?! Twice?!" Moreover, it was Shinya-kun who shook it, wasn't it?! "

So, what?

Did it happen that you didn't have it?!

Alright. We're done for.

"Well, that's fine... actually, there's something I'm making right now, and I'd like you to try it out."

Is it a new drug?

"No. Cosmetics… not cosmetics, but while you're making a lot of things, come up with something interesting."

Interesting thing?

This is it!

On the slatan's hand... white powder.

No! Absolutely not!

"You can't make such a thing!"

"Oh, that's right." What's that? "

“Simply put, bathing agents.”

"Bath agent?! Can you make such a thing?!"

"Well, that doesn't mean it's equivalent to what was in the original world."

When you put it in the hot water and melt it, you can get a variety of benefits. Notable is the medicinal effect of wound medicine. ”

"Huh. In other words, if you put this in the water, will the wound heal?"

"I think it is less effective for large scratches, but it is good for fine scratches. Since Tetra-san has been treated all over her body, it's hard to apply wound medicine to fine wounds, right? Therefore, if you do this, it will save you the trouble of applying the wound medicine.

Besides, Cynthia, you guys are constantly injured by training and everything. "

"I see... that's an interesting idea." Is it really a soothing bath? ”

"For the time being, there are also things that I made when I made the emulsion, so there is a mixture of thermal insulation and moisturizing, and such medicinal effects, but rather than Sinya-kun..."

"It's a medicinal effect that will please the women." Just to try... do you mean to take a bath now? "

"No. It's the first time I've ever made a bathing powder, and I don't know if it fits my skin, so I'd like you to try it." I want you to put hot water on something like a bucket and try it by hand. If Sinya seems to be okay, I think I'll have Heine and the others try it. If everyone seems to be okay, I will solidify the powder and make it easy to use. "

Do I have to try it first?

"Do you want me to try the female skin first?"

"No, I don't think so."

Isn't that right?

“Okay, I'll help you. There was a small scratch on my left hand from the grass just now, so it was just right."

Usually, it is a small wound that is judged to be OK even if left alone, but it goes without saying that it is better to heal if it can be healed.

After creating water with magic and warming it with fire magic, we put in the bathing agent made by Suratan. There is no smell. It seems that the scent has not even been applied to the stone.
