Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 651: The Chaos of Love
"Now, it looks like the rubbing of the movement is fine."
"... I'm sorry for everything."
At the end of the conversation, Efu lowers his head.
Because they were not the type to do that, everyone is surprised and loses their words.
"This movement as an adventurer's party is very different from our black dog's, so it may cause trouble."
"... hey, there's no such thing."
When I finally come back from my surprise, I will return to Efraim's words.
"Since you're my companion, it's only natural for you to rub together and make better moves. It's not like the Father apologizes.”
"That's right, we'll get Ef-san to cover for us, for each other's sake."
"...... Thank you."
After accepting Nil's relationship with her friend, Effe is trying to change a little bit. One of the changes is that you honestly say thank you to us.
"This is how I've finished rubbing together, and I've voted to go straight through the chaos." I think I can go. ”
Nil agrees to go straight ahead with confidence.
"I think that's good, too."
“I agree.”
Surat Than Piltee also voted straight ahead.
What about Effe?
"I'm also... in favor of going straight."
When I looked at him and said, I felt a slightly different light in his eyes. It might be my idea, but...
That's the route we're going to take.
If that's the case, we'll have to rest well in preparation for tomorrow!
"Before that...... Sura-Tan." Could you take out the slime that you put in the ef's body? "
"Huh?!"
Efu is surprised at what I say.
"From here on out, it's better to be able to move freely, and there's no need to doubt it anymore."
"... yes. I understand."
Honestly, at the time I said that I would become Nil's friend, I thought that there would be no problem if I took out the slime, but I was thinking about what would happen.
But after all... after what happened with Nil, Effe changed a lot, and Nil also said that there was no lie there. If so, even if you keep shackling the Effes any longer, there will be restrictions.
It seemed that everyone had the same idea, and Surakutan did not object to removing the slime from Ef's body. I thought Heine might disagree, but I didn't.
"... was it good?"
Needless to say, Efu himself is about to say this.
"You're not lying about my promise to help Nil, are you?"
Of course!
"Then, there is no problem." Fight without limits. ”
"... All right, I'll take care of it."
I wonder if our trust has been passed on to you, Efu nods heavily.
I thought you might say you were a sweet man again, but it never happened. Even if they said he was a sweet guy, my decision didn't change.
"Good. Now we have a plan."
Let's go when the sun rises. Until then, we'll take turns taking a break. "
Thus, we decided to go straight through the chaos and took as much rest as we could.
The next morning.
Are you ready?
We'll be ready before the sun rises and brightens up.
If it becomes completely bright, there is a high chance that flying monsters will attack, so let's start before that.
Yes!
I'm ready!
"Alright. Now, let's line up as usual." Basically, it goes straight north. If something happens and it becomes impossible, I will rethink the route at that time. So... let's go! "
It seemed a little too lighter to enter the danger zone, but it was harder than the tension that was heading to the dead end.
That's how we stepped into the chaos.
The first thing to see is a wide variety of plants.
As for trees, it seems that there are about three kinds of trees, but the other plants vary from those that you have seen to those that you have not seen.
"There are quite a few plants that I don't know about... be careful not to touch them without too much darkness." Do you know what kind of plants are from Mr. Effe? "
"I can see the poisonous plants as well." It's not a plant with a strong poison, and it's okay if it doesn't get into the body. ”
What happens if you take it in?
"I'm going to get diarrhea and I'm going to be stuck for a while."
"I hate it too much..."
Be careful not to get poison in the wound...
"I know most of the plants... but I've never seen some of them." Basically, it's better not to touch it. ”
Okay.
Unlike the forests of the Great Abamas Valley, the trees are not so dense, the sunlight comes in, and it is not so depressing that it is difficult to walk.
By the monsters moving around, the plants are suppressed from overgrowing naturally.
In the forest, it is gyrated and the humidity is high. The temperature is not that high, it is not an uncomfortable environment, but it has a slightly sticky feeling.
Although it is not nearby, it is probably caused by water flowing in from the surrounding mountains.
The ground is humus, and walking is not difficult, but I don't know if all of this forest is in such a state.
In such a forest, one problem arises.
It was a stone throwing attack by me that I prepared as a countermeasure against the Japanese jellyfish.
Even when digging lightly into the ground, only humus comes out. Even when digging further, there is a rugged stratum that appears as if the lava has solidified. It won't break, but it's a tedious thing to do just to throw a stone. In short, finding stones is also a struggle.
However, this problem was somehow anticipated before entering the chaos, so we created a stone with earth magic last night and stored it in the inventory.
If you're looking for a stone every time a lilac jellyfish appears, you should prepare it from the beginning.
For now, I have some in my hip bag so that I can throw it right away, but it's heavy to carry around, so everything else is in the inventory.
I had to open an inventory every time I found a lilac jellyfish, but I couldn't do anything inefficient to create magic every time I fought, so this would be best.
When I looked up, there seemed to be a lot of lilac jellyfish, but you didn't meet them unexpectedly, did you?
"Because this area is still the entrance to chaos, there is probably no river around here." It was only coming from a place where there were few monsters in the midst of a relatively chaotic rift. The real thing is coming up. ”
As the Efe said, as soon as he went a little further into the woods, the monster sign began to appear.
"... there's a lot of them..."
Heine looked around with a disgusted face.
We know there are monsters somehow, but we don't even know where or how many.
"Three bodies on the east side." Two on the north side. Four on the west side. At this rate, there's probably more in the back.
It's probably the lilac jellyfish on the north and east sides. The four bodies on the west side... "
"Probably a subspecies of Hungry Mantis."
The Hungry Mantis subspecies is a large silver-colored camakiri. It was an A-rank monster.
In terms of the rank of the monsters, it's better to escape from the West... but considering that we have to deal with S-ranked monsters in the future, it's better to break through than to avoid them.
"There aren't many of them, and I think it would be a good time to check how far your master's stone throwing will be an effective attack."
"That's right... Okay." We're breaking through north.
When we start fighting, the monsters that are nearby will notice us and come to us, and we'll take care of them. ”
Everyone seemed to be convinced that they were going north, and they nodded firmly.
Let's go.
With Heine at the forefront, we headed straight north.
A few minutes later, Heine stops and points her index finger at the front. Beyond that, there were two Japanese jellyfish.
The tactile sensation coming out of your body is stretching around you as you gurgle.
Because it is a monster that preys on prey by taking advantage of the habit of glowing, naturally, the lilac jellyfish is nocturnal. During the day, it was basically a monster that was quiet, and it didn't move except for its tactile sensations.
I grab the stone I took out and move forward little by little. I can see it, but it's still a long way away, so I don't have the confidence to be sure of it. Then, somehow, the distance from the lilac jellyfish was about ten meters.
If we can get this close, we'll have plenty of room... Even if you remove one or two balls, all you have to do is throw the next right away. I don't know how long it will take for the jellyfish to die... but I don't know if I have to try this.
I nod at everyone. It was a signal to attack.
Looking at it, everyone nods and holds their weapons.
Use Inventory Magic to take out some stones and place them on the ground. After that, I just threw it without putting it in my hair.
”Haa!!”
Boom!!
First of all, a ball eye.
When the baseball stone leaves my right hand, it flies straight toward the licko jellyfish in front of it.
Bhahhhhhhhhh!
The lilac jellyfish are mostly made of liquid. The liquid has the property of being a paralyzing poison, but when it hits a stone, the body fluid splashes vigorously behind the lilac jellyfish.
There is a hole in the center of the Likkou Jellyfish.
From the hole in the hole, it can be seen that the body fluid does not leak out, so it is not like a water balloon, but the whole body tissue is like a jelly.
The western four have reacted!
“I'm coming forward!”
"I and Ef-san will take care of it!" Be careful with the body fluids of the jellyfish! "
Got it!
It was the first attack yet, but the western Hungry Mantis subspecies responded. If I don't get rid of them quickly, the monsters will come one after another.
”Haa!!”
Bhahhhhhhhhh!
The second ball was also in front of me, hitting the licko jellyfish. Pierce the second hole.
The body tissue of the splashed jellyfish that was attacked exhibits water-like behavior.
It can be seen that instead of being an ointment-like tissue when dying like a slime, the tissue like an ointment is a creature that has the opposite property of changing into a wobbly state like water when dying.
In the game age, I had no choice but to imagine what the texture of what was on the screen, but now I can see it with the naked eye, so I can understand it well.
One more thing!!
Bhahhhhhhhhh!
Throw a third stone.
Three spheres hit two holes in the licko jellyfish.
Until then, the liquorice jellyfish, which had been in motion until then, flowed down to the ground as if it had melted.
This was the behavior when I defeated the Likkou Jellyfish.
Have you already defeated me?!
What surprised me was Heine. But I'm surprised, too.
Continuing to attack with bows and bow guns, Likkou Jellyfish, who was supposed to be defeated, was silenced by the sight of the three stone throwing spheres. My stone throwing power won't be funny. No, unlike an attack with arrows, it's not stabbing or cutting, but because it has a strong effect of destroying it, it may be that it works very effectively against lilac jellyfish...
It was a very troublesome monster to deal with solo without dropping any materials... I can't believe I could crush you so easily...
It is an indescribable emotion, but it is not the case that I am thinking about it now. No matter what, I knew that if I could hit the rocks three times back and forth, I could crush them. We have to get rid of the rest immediately.
Ooh!
Bhahhhhhhh!
Knowing the fact that it can be defeated so easily, the stone thrown with a little frustration slashes through the rest of the body.
It looks like the lilac jellyfish is trying to get close to me, but it's moving too slowly to get close.
”Haa!!”
Awwww!!
"Ah..."
The second ball does not hit the licko jellyfish, but shatters against the tree behind it.
It's not Nil, so I can't say it's a whole lot.
Next time!
Bhahhhhhhhhh!
Still, as long as you hit the three spheres faster than you can get close to us, you can throw stones one after the other, and the rest of the ball will melt and soak into the ground.
I immediately turned to Nil, who was dealing with monsters from the West, but I had already defeated four Hungry Mantis subspecies, and I didn't think I needed any help.
How about the three on the east side?
"I don't know if you noticed, but... at least you're not coming towards us."
I don't even feel it coming from anywhere else. ”
The first round is a victory you can afford.
"I'm glad that Cynthia-san's stone throwing did more damage than I expected." Even though Pilte and I were going to cover us, we cleared it before that. ”
"I'm surprised about that, too." I never thought I'd be able to defeat you if I threw a stone three times... "
"Normally, there's no such thing as power as a stone thrower, so it's not a monster that can be easily defeated..."
Pilte said with a bitter smile. "It's something I can't do..."
"Well... it looks like I'll take care of the lilac jellyfish, unless there's a lot of them coming."
"The problem is the night when the lilac jellyfish become active..."
At night, lilac jellyfish move around in search of their prey. When that happens, a lot of people might gather around where we are.
"It takes about five days to get to the northernmost point... and it seems like it's important how you get some rest in the meantime."
That's right...
After a quick battle, the Effs come back to us as we discuss.
Oh, how did it go?!
"I think it was very good." The cooperation was good, too. ”
Thank you!
Looks like the Effe fought well, too.
"It looks like we're finished more easily than I thought."
“Yeah, the stone throwing was more effective than expected.”
This is the first time I've actually seen it… is Cynthia really a human?
"I'm rude... I'm just a human being."
I know that there are rare powerful people in the human race, but do you think I'm the only one who feels like I'm flying through?
Mmm... because it's Cynthia-san...
It's Master, isn't it?
"Please realize that the reason for being me is not a reason..."
"Even if our black dog had such a big plan, it would be scolding to see it overthrown in the end... If it became an ally instead of an enemy, it would be so comforting."
"You know very well how stupid it is to be hostile to your mistress."
"Although it was due to the failure of the mission, it was the best choice on our side..."
"I need to get to Zaganbel safely so you can think so."
So… I'm thinking of a way to rest somewhat safely, but no matter what I do, I'm going to take some time, so I'm going to make it until noon. ”
"That's right... if these monsters are around all the time, it's going to be hard to get some rest in a simple way."
"If you don't know the surrounding situation and the details of the forest, you won't know how to do it, so I'm going to go north until noon."
“Stop there and decide what to do.”
"If we have half a day, we will be able to secure a place to rest somehow." I agree. ”
"Half a day's progress will be delayed, but no matter how fast you rush, you won't be able to go north without rest, and that's the most important thing."
Is it okay if everyone agrees?
Everyone nods when I ask a question.
Therefore, we will go north for half a day while collecting as much information as we can about what kind of place this forest is and what it has.
In the meantime, dozens of licko jellyfish. I crushed a dozen A-rank monsters, but I went straight north without any particular problems or injuries.
Shh!!
"Shit. That's it."
After several battles, looking up at the sky, the sun came straight up.
It's almost noon.
I've managed to defeat all the monsters around here, will you stop here for a while?
"I see. I'll keep the dead monsters in my inventory, so can some of you take a look around?"
“I'll go. It would be better if there was only one person who could find the enemy."
"I see. Thank you very much." Slurp, really...
"I'll go." There's something I want to make sure of. "
Okay.
Heine, Suratan, and Efu are going to explore their surroundings and come out.
Meanwhile, I'll take the monster's body to my inventory. Nil and Pilte are keeping an eye on their surroundings.
After a while, Heine and the others come back.
Looking at the faces of the three of them, there seemed to be some sort of harvest.
