We came with spatial magic to the forest northwest of the capital.
Tall trees soar.
Autumn had deepened, and the leaves of the trees were falling everywhere.
You can collect the tights here, right?
"That's right. At the same time, we will eliminate the acarillas that soothe the area around the tree."
This time, we were asked to collect Totts and crusade against the monsters that lived around them.
What kind of monster is an acharyllis?
"... a squirrel monster." I don't have a lot of strength, but I'm going to drop my tights overhead, so I need to be careful. "
Apparently, it was a monster that was in the way of collecting tights.
If so, I think it would be better to wear a hat.
It is not only dangerous to let the acarillas drop their tights, but it can also fall naturally. If it falls on my head and stabs me, I will be seriously injured.
"...... I'll protect you with magic when you have to, but just in case, keep it on"
Looking at them, Helena wore a hat, Raid wore a robe hood, and Rox wore a helm.
I'm also in a hurry to take my hat out of subspace and put it on.
Arna wasn't particularly hooded because she was confident that her magic would stop her from doing so.
Helena, Raid, Rox, me, Arna, we're going through the woods.
There are many fallen leaves and branches on the ground, but Helena and the others do not trample or crush them. I'm walking as little as I can.
I feel like an adventurer because it is done as a matter of course.
I'm trampling on fallen leaves and dry branches. Occasionally, I get caught up in the roots of trees hiding in the fallen leaves. Maybe we should teach André how to walk in the woods next time.
Um, it was definitely around here, wasn't it?
"... there it is"
Thinking like that, Arna pointed diagonally to the left as she moved inward.
It's the chestnut trees that line it.
When you look at what's falling close, you can see a plump brown tree nut in the open Iga. It contained chestnuts.
"This is the trick."
After all, it seemed that the Totts were chestnuts.
You can't make chestnut rice because you don't have any rice, but there are many ways to enjoy it, such as boiling salt, deep-frying, and grilled chestnuts. I think that just thinking about chestnut food makes me hungry.
"... I'll collect it right away."
Arna, wearing gloves and carrying a cage, started picking up chestnuts as she clapped the flame.
Somehow, Arna-san is very aggressive today, isn't she?
Always with sleepy eyes, Arna is unwilling to do anything. Of course, I am doing my part and contributing to the party, but today I feel motivated all the time. I've never seen anything move like this before.
"Arna loves tattoos."
I see.
I'm glad you're usually this aggressive, though.
I was convinced by Rox's bitter smile.
Raid, who was in a position like the conciliator of the party, seemed to have a headache.
After Arna, when we put on gloves, we carry a cage and get a piece of fire for sampling.
Do you know how to collect tights?
“Tell me”
As a precaution, Raid taught me how to collect chestnuts, which was the same method as the chestnut of my previous life.
Tread on both sides of the Iga at the edge of the shoe to hold it down.
Remove the chestnuts from the open area of the igas with a flame.
That's it. It's not particularly difficult, so if you show it to me, I can imitate it immediately, and Raid gave me an approval.
Each of them was holding a flame and collecting the falling chestnuts.
While working silently, a metallic sound echoed.
"Hahaha! Looks like my head is falling!"
Rox laughs loudly as he opens his faceguard.
It looks like a mature overhead helm hit the Rox's helm below.
Because of this, it is advisable to keep your hat firmly on when picking up chestnuts.
Although it is a simple sampling operation, it is surprisingly pleasant to open the Iga.
There are also chestnuts of various sizes, and it is interesting that chestnuts of various sizes come out every time you open them.
When I opened my mouth like I was pulling a gacha, a slightly withered chestnut emerged.
"... the tights are draining moisture and getting old." You shouldn't do that. "
Looking seriously, Arna came over and said.
It seems that Totts is only my favorite product, and I am familiar with good and bad.
“I see. Do you know what makes it so delicious?”
"... the surface is firmly brown and colored, and it is good to have a glossy and taut surface." After that, it may be important that the fruit is firmly stuffed. Try pressing it with your finger to see if it feels hard and stuffy. "
When I asked, he gave me more detailed advice than I could have imagined.
Unexpectedly, staring seriously, Arna's sleepy eyes turned towards us.
"... what?"
"No, it was the first time Aruna-san had spoken so loudly, so I was surprised..."
"...... I see"
It must have been a bit embarrassing. Arna's cheeks were slightly red.
"...... Ah, acharyllis"
Arna, who was looking down, muttered.
I followed my gaze and saw a large squirrel with brown and red hair on the tree.
Her rounded tail was bigger than her own, and her fur seemed to be quite thick.
You must have noticed what we've noticed.
With its tail, the acarilis struck the tree hard.
It's a power that I don't think is hidden in a small body.
Totts that had become trees fell one after another in shock. As expected, if there were so many of them, I would be worried about preventing them with my hat alone.
"Wind Barrier."
Arna raised her staff and shouted as she thought about retreating from the transfer.
Then, a gentle breeze flowed over our heads and we caught a good grip on the falling dust.
This is what you told me to protect by magic. It's a brilliant way to use it.
When I was impressed, a glimmer of light flashed.
"Damn, did you take it off!"
Helena seemed to have thrown her knife, but the acarillas went around the back of the tree.
Continuing, Raid's Earth Spear was unleashed, but the Acarylis shifted to another branch to evade.
Looks like you have a bigger tail than your body, but you're making a gentle movement that doesn't feel heavy.
It was definitely a tough monster.
Helena's third knife pierced the tree.
The acharyllis seemed to have a lot of fun avoiding it. Just to give you an idea, I moved the branches and provoked Helena.
"I'm so fucked up, I'm getting on my feet!"
"Calm down, let's hunt him down calmly."
It was a raid against Helena, who was upright, but he seemed to be a little annoyed too.
If you emit powerful magic over a wide area, you will be able to defeat it immediately, but in a forest like this, there is a possibility of a secondary disaster, so you can't use it.
Something reminiscent of the Evil Monkey encountered in the forest of Howlin Village.
My job is just a transfer, but this time I'm accompanying you to collect the tights, so maybe I can help you a little.
"Spatial Distortion"
That's how I activated my spatial magic.
When the scaffolded branches were crushed, the acarillus fell.
Aquatic Ball
Arna's Water Magic is activated before it falls to the ground, enveloping the water polo with acarillas.
The acharyllis makes your limbs flutter, but you can't escape the water.
After a while, the acharyllis completely stopped moving.
That's right, Arna-san.
"... thanks to the magic of Crete"
It's a water magic technique with low lethal power and often underestimated, but it works terribly depending on how you use it.
"Hey, hey, what was that magic!?"
I broke my foothold a little by magic.
Yeah, I can only do this fast if I break my legs. That's what I learned in the fight against Evila Monkey.
Confirming that there were no acarillas around, we resumed our tattoo collection.
