Vermillion

Moist tree scent, moist earthy smell.

Dazzling wood leakage days dance over his head, and the little birds chirp.

Peaceful forest. Initially, it was a line I stepped into with vigilance, but I was experiencing the illusion that I had even come to the picnic for too much peace. Fluffy leafy soil makes it comfortable over the boot.

"Terribly peaceful..."

Getting ahead with a tense face is the first discoverer of "The Pioneer of Abyss," Marc. In that hand is a short bow (short bow) for good hunters. Small but strong in tension, it is powerful enough to finish off the beast of the forest.

but when it comes to hunting [Deep (Abyss)] monsters, I'm a little uncomfortable.

He seemed conscious, too, and he wandered his gaze restlessly as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. In the shade and bushes, as if trying to find an invisible enemy - at this rate I get exhausted before I reach my destination.

"Well, leave the vigilance to me."

Kay speaks carefully as he follows Marc.

"Take it easy on him. Big bears like Grandurus find out before they run into each other, and I'll take care of human-sized trinkets. Don't worry about it."

Kay said in a light tone as he showed the Dragon Scale Through (Dragon Stinger) on his left hand. To be honest, I don't have a problem with the Big Bear class as long as I don't run into it, and the room in my mind is also shown in my attitude. And Kay, accustomed to 'losing her shoulder strength while maintaining tension' from the experience of a caravan escort, also seemed overly distracted from the field.

Marc looks at Kay with a slight anxiety, not to say that he is not too comfortable with the boulder. As for Kay, I was going to encourage him, but unfortunately, he was counterproductive. In fact, in addition to being alarmed, he also holds the arrow tied together with the "Dragon Scale Throughout", and he can release the arrow at any time of battle. Kay was the one in the line putting up a more vigilant net than anyone else.

"Even if I do, I won't take care of you if I feel safe, Kay."

And Irene, walking behind Kay, said as she put her arms behind her head.

"It's a cockroach picnic day indeed, but it's like going for a walk to the abyss of hell. You can't be nervous, can you?

That being said, it's with Eileen that she doesn't look too nervous. Rather, it is an extraordinarily lightweight outfit compared to other men, so it has a more easy-to-use taste and a mountainous flavor.

Would it be 'Forest Girl' to describe Irene's current presence in a nutshell? He has long trousers that are perfect for a long-sleeved shirt, a sabel on his back and sturdy leather gloves. It was ineffective for beast opponents, and all the shields and forehead equivalents that would become dead weights were left in the village. It is reminiscent of the carnivorous animals of the family of cats to proceed through the trees with little footsteps.

The belt had a bunch of throwing knives, a leather bag filled with drinking water, and a metal water bottle (skittle) hanging on it. The contents of the skittle are a high degree of distillery. With this, you can disinfect it immediately even if you get injured, and of course, it can be a feast gift when you have to.

"…… it has not yet been decided that [Deep (Abyss)] has moved"

Behind Irene's back, with a flashing face, is Ellidoor, the village chief of Pioneering Village. This time he is accompanied, as head of the village, to confirm the factual relationship. In that position there is a verse that is negative about [deep] erosion, but I am desperate to tell myself, and it was a mystery if I really think so.

Ellidoor, who is sturdy and not particularly skilled besides plowing the field, is responsible for carrying luggage (porter) in a row. Large leather luggage bag on its back. In the unlikely event that [deep] rare flora and fauna are discovered, this is to allow them to be taken home properly.

He doesn't want to admit the erosion of [deep] as much as he can, but he can see the complicated mood around not forgetting his preparation for it.

"And [Deep (Abyss)], is it?"

The rear-end bard, Joaquin, whines emotionally.

"It is a word I hear more than once in stories and inheritance, but I didn't know I was going to make sure of it with my own eyes……"

"... so it wasn't decided [deep]..."

Joaquin smiles bitterly, "I'm sorry" when he puts his eyebrows in the letter "C" on his head with disrespect for Elidoor, who resists weakly.

In a row aimed at exploring, Joaquin emits a different colour. Even Elidoor says he's giving his belt a protective sword, but he's totally round the waist. Even though it's only natural that you're leaving the harp out of the way, you don't even have a swing of a knife, a needle.

He said that since he didn't know anything about martial arts, he would prioritize his escape anyway. This exploration is only 'self-inflicted', and you can abandon it if you want to pull your leg, Joaquin said. To put it badly, I leave it to you, but if you return the back, you can also say that you are turning your share around. Eileen said that the scaffolding was bad, and that it might be better than being dangerously wielded by amateurs right next door.

"No, what is [deep] spoken of in the alley?

Intriguing Eileen. "That's right…" snorted Joaquin's right hand, shaking at his lack of location. Even the harp I held without letting go of my skin, I don't have it now.

"-Akland is guided by the Narutoma Yoshiyoshi Albert Spirit in the far north and east to try the deepest part of the deep green."

A good singing voice sounds, and for a moment, the area calms back. It was as if the beasts and little birds of the forest had also listened unexpectedly.

Joaquin sang about a hundred years ago on a journey around the Principality of the Union of Akland, a bandit named Albert, the Adventurer of the Explorer. It seems that anecdotes remain as to whether he was wearing unusual survival techniques, gaining the protection of the Spirit, or whether he was simply lucky enough to walk and lengthen the vast [depths] of the northeastern part of the Principality over a week.

The "Big Bear (Grandurus)", which is about the size of Koyama, the "Big Lizard of the Forest (Green Salamandel)", which runs down the trees, and the "Fei Long (Wyburn)", which devours a beautiful beast that has never been seen while resting its wings - [Deep] the monsters who inhabit it are spoken of in the cool voice of Joaquin. Marc and Elidoor were trembling, but from Kay and Irene, it's frowning. Both "Big Bear" and "Forest Lizard" are definitely big tits, but "about Koyama" would be too much of a boulder. It is not a story that can be exaggerated at all, just because there are no other witnesses.

In particular, there is no denying the possibility that the [deep] monsters are huge just because the size of the world itself is expanding when compared to the game.

Either way, while he spent such monsters, Albert said he collected rare grass flowers and insects and advanced the Duchy's museum by itself for decades. He didn't seem to be a magician himself, but there were stories that he held a number of magic items, which seemed to have caused various disturbances as he went. After his adventure in the Principality, he was also said to have embarked on a merchant ship in the port city of Kitene to cross to the western continent of Fort Runt, but also to have travelled towards an undeveloped country that had yet to be seen at the end of the eastern border.

"Fort Lant…………"

Kay muttered small as she listened to Joaquin's commentary. In the game of [DEMONDAL], it's an area where existence was only suggested. And Kay remembers with nostalgia that the seaside trading city of Kitene had a large number of merchant NPCs from Fort Lant who paid well. There were also ships coming and going from Fort Lant and the Lilleil region, but when players got in, they were adjusted to never reach them with specifications that would always be hit by giant sea dragons in the outer ocean. There were rumors that it would be added in a major update soon - but Kay had similar thoughts about how everyone in the game was doing by now.

On the other hand, in this world, Fort Runt seems to be recognized as a continent normally able to travel to and from. Speaking of which, I remember seeing Fort Lant's description even when I was doing research in the library in the capital.

"If you follow the original, were the people of the Principality also descended from Fort Lant today?"

"Right. It is told that 300 years ago, the people of the plains visited the land."

To Kay's question, Joaquin takes the lead. Irene pinched her mouth.

"The people of the plains say, how was the rest of the nation?

"The people of the meadows are the natives of the land, but their detailed comings are unknown. It is said that the people of the snowfield (Roski) crossed into the land of the north at about the same time as the people of the plain. Do you think that the people of the plateau (Frances) and the people of the sea plains (España) began to visit the land in earnest about half a century after that? Indeed, we have heard that the kingdom of the people of the old sea plains, which existed in Fort Lant by that time, was swallowed up [deep]"

Therefore, the people of Haibara had to seek a new heaven and earth - Joaquin says. Did he put his thoughts to the ordeal of his ancestors, the brown-skinned young man looked up at the sky over the leaking sun with a worried face and sighed. In front of it, you can imagine the impending ordeal, or Elidoor is becoming increasingly pale.

And, Marc raised his hand and stopped the formation.

"……… I do think it was around here"

Looks like we made it to our destination while we were talking.

At first glance, it's no different from a normal forest.

Blue, tall, broad-leaved forest. The foot is soft rotten soil, with brown earth spread on one side. Except that it was a little dim because of the leaf curtains that grow overhead, the view was extraordinarily good, and with Kay's eyesight he could see it all the way to the back. I don't even know what's hidden behind the bushes or the trees.

"……… Quiet."

Irene looked around as she jerked off the strings on Sabel's back. Shortly after entering the woods, it was filled with birds and small animal stirrings, but the tranquility around here is horrible.

"…… What do we do? Want to go a little further?

Lurk your voice, Elidoor. Behind his back, he looks like he walked away from this place as soon as possible.

"Wait a minute."

Kay gripped her right hand gently, making a telescopic circle and peeking in, looking behind the woods. Techniques to block extra information around you and further increase your vision in conjunction with the pinhole effect. Move your gaze sideways so that you lick it carefully.

Eventually, Kay's eyes picked up a color that was so vivid that it didn't look good in the woods.

"... I found it. Definitely," The Pioneer of Abyss ". One, D, III... That's a lot. At least it doesn't seem like a fairy prank..."

Tighten everyone's face, good or bad, to Kay's words.

"So... So there's really [deep] erosion going on,"

Care for Eridore or Marc, Joaquin makes a strange look and confirms it, but the voice rubbed up with excitement can't even be hidden.

"That's what's gonna happen."

"…… Oh my God."

"It's over..."

When Kay agreed with a sinister face, Elidoor and Marc moaned with a face like the end of the world had come. In fact, from them, it's close to the end of the world.

"... So, what do we do?" The Pioneer of Abyss, "it's blooming, isn't it?

Irene wrapped her arms around Qui and snubbed the back of the woods with her chin.

"Do you want to go pick it up?

"You should go. … everyone in the village will need something to start with."

I don't know what will happen to the village after this. The Lords may interrupt the development, and may be maintained as a front-line base for outgoing, [deep] exploration. In that case, there is also the possibility that the village will be busy with an unsuspecting explorer. - Elidoors, whether the original inhabitants are happy with it or not.

Either way, I'm sure the gold will be hired from now on.

"…… Yes, it is."

Elidoor restarts as soon as possible and retakes the luggage bag on his back. The common brown eyes as the people of the plains are lit with flames of radiance and sense of purpose.

"... no such thing as an inexplicable monster?

"For once, I'm not within sight"

"Is that so... I hope so..."

Marc looks unlimited anxious as he leads an arrow to his short bow.

With utmost vigilance, the line goes further into the back, aiming to 'pioneer Abyss'.

"……… Still going?

Kay said he "found it" too lightly, so he seemed to think the flowers were blooming nearby for nothing but Eileen. Elidoor turns her surprise gaze at the blue flowers she can hardly find.

"Just a little further."

"Kay's eyes are high performance like idiots. Kay's" A Little Ahead "is our" A Long Way Ahead, "you better remember that."

Eileen looked used to it and exhaled pussy before saying so. On its left hand is a throwing knife. A structure that allows you to react whenever and wherever you jump from.

That's how as we move forward, the three of us, except Kay and Irene, start to stretch their faces. Until now it has been blocked by trees and bushes and it has not been very visible, but because the trees behind the woods have begun to increase in size at once.

Should it also be described as a 'forest of giants'? The area was dominated by relatively thin evergreen trees with trunks, but despite being of the same type, the trees in the back were thick and tall with trunks once and twice.

"What are you... why are you growing so many trees?"

"... it looks like you didn't get here when you found 'Abyss's Pioneer'"

Fearless Marc, Kay deepens a certain certainty.

"Oh, oh... I think it was already blooming a little bit in front of me..."

"Well, did you happen to find him blooming outside……………………………………"

This is why it could not be determined that this "pioneering Abyss" discovery was caused by [deep] erosion. Tree hugeness is one of the palpable phenomena associated with [deep] erosion, and if Marc had testified to the existence of giant trees in the village, Kay and Irene would have been able to determine it immediately.

Assuming the tree's immensity could not be confirmed and only one round of 'Avis Pioneer' was blooming, it was more likely a fairy prank. But the truth is, Marc was discovering the Spiritual Flower itself before he happened to go deep.

"Look, I see it"

Around the roots of a certain giant tree, blue color. Luxurious petals similar to roses.

"Vigrezia Grandfloro" - also known as "The Pioneer of Avis". It is a rare spiritual flower that serves as an ingredient for potions.

"He's a kind of parasitic plant."

Eileen explains.

"This is how you parasitize and bloom in the trunk of a tree. Just parasitic doesn't hurt the host. Rather, it absorbs the surrounding magic, while giving the host a pharmaceutically effective ingredient to gradually make it huge"

One of the reasons why huge flora and fauna rush [deep] is this flower. It can also be said that Teng himself transforms a normal forest into a [deep] forest.

Eridore, stroking the trunk of a savvy giant tree, peered into the blue petal with a face that sees something horrible as she restlessly touched the sword of her hips.

"…… try this, beautiful flowers"

"Yeah, really."

Pompous, squeaky Elidoors, nodding Joaquin with a lukewarm face.

"How do I collect it?

"I don't know if it's a good idea to cut it from the ground up, rather than pull it out from the roots. Maybe we can regenerate it and pick it up again."

…………

Eridore complains of Eileen's response, which is neither a joke nor a serious one. By the way, Eileen answers very seriously.

"Well then..."

Eridore, who regained his mind and unplugged the sword, tried to cut Abyss' vanguard from the ground up - then.

Kay, wary of his surroundings, shook his shoulder.

Be silent and keep your posture low. It was sudden, but reflexively, or instinctively, everyone stood back to mimic Kay.

When Eileen asked with her gaze what had happened, Kay licked her lips with a tingle as she glanced forward, obviously also nervous.

Slowly leads the arrow to the "dragon scale through" and tells him to whisper.

"There's something nearby."
