Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Running diligently while being moist. From time to time, I felt my (walking) skills increased and my resistance decreased slightly.

"Mr. Reggie!

"Letty, are you okay?"

Letty came to me.

She nodded, but looked anxiously behind.

"Shhhhh!"

"Hyiiihh! I'm so mad at you!

Golden eyes burning in anger are chasing me.

The silver serpent was scratching the mud, twisting his body and chasing after him.

"Oh, shit, how did you do?"

I'll manage to run out of time. That's because I just updated Blue Brad to strengthen my feet.

But Letty is different. The speed at which she ran, swinging her arm, remained the initial value.

Slips and beats her speed, and the snake approaches. The LP is running away at full speed, so I can't afford it anymore.

"Arrows that Diffuse and Freeze"

Letty, keep your head down.

"Hmm!?

Holding Letty's shoulders as she ran next door, she bent down together. An ice arrow flew over it.

"Shh!?

The ice arrow pierces the snake's eyebrows and starts to cover it with thin ice. The speed was incredible, and in an instant the snake stiffened about half of his body like a statue.

"... you stopped moving?

Letty is afraid that the snake has stopped moving.

The golden eyes are wide open, but they don't seem to move as they are.

"Great. After all, if you pickle it with ice, it won't move."

"Hmm!?

When I was stunned, I heard a relieved voice from behind.

Looking back, a small girl walked in a blue hooded robe. My height is about my waist. It is even smaller than the circle.

She held a wooden bow in her left hand and hung a arrow at her waist.

"Are you...?

"Hello, I'm Lacto. I'm an archer and an ice artist."

That's how Lacto bows politely.

The hood fell down as I raised my face, and my clear light blue hair was shaking.

"Type - Fairy"

Without concealing the surprise, I put it into my mouth.

After a bit of care, Lacto touched his ear as he remembered.

"Yes, is it a little unusual?"

That said, lact's ears, which narrow young grass eyes, are stretching thinly horizontally.

Type - Fairy features a small body shape and elongated ears. It was called an elf ear.

"Ah, it's about time the arts went off."

What?

When he opened his mouth to talk, Lacto glanced up.

Looking back in haste, the ice that covered the snake's body began to peel apart.

"Let's get out of here!

"Ha, ha!

"Oh, can I come with you?

"Naturally."

We leave before the snake is completely free.

The highest leg parameter is like mine, rarely crossing the swamp to lead the other two.

There are no enemies around here.

"Really?

"Yes, I was resting here too."

After running for a while, stop at a prominent spot on a large rock with lact guidance.

The area, where several rocks were dense, was like an island in a thin, water-covered swamp.

"Scale surpent, the snakes just now are lurking in the mud and making ambushes. So I feel safe on this water."

Is that so? I was surprised when they attacked me suddenly, even though I had no sign of it. "

After hearing Lacto's explanation, Letty seemed to be able to grasp her chest.

The silence of the Snake Lake and Swamp was not due to the absence of living creatures. I suppose he was just waiting for his prey to appear.

"Thank you again for your help. I'm Reggie."

"It's Letty. I'm having a party with Mr. Reggie."

Stand on a big rock and face Lacto again.

Expressing her gratitude, she smiled as if illuminated.

"No, it was just a coincidence."

"That's it. Is Mr. Lacto in this swamp alone?

"Yes, I arrived this morning."

We are shocked by the words.

From what I've seen, she doesn't look worn out. Having survived this marsh alone would have been quite powerful.

"Ahahah. Well, I'm an art guy, so it looks like I'm a little bit of a match for this field."

From our faces, Lacto starts talking embarrassed.

"That's the first time I've seen an art man."

"Ah, Arts has some sort of aptitude..."

"Ahahah. Well, I don't know."

Arts is a technique that uses nanomachines to cause phenomena that have a variety of effects.

It is divided into three types of skills: offensive, defensive, and auxiliary, and slightly different in nature from the skill groups of the combat, auxiliary, and status systems.

Speaking of which, it's magical, and I've considered using art before. But...

"There are a lot of people who are shy about chanting."

I don't know.

As Lacto said, that's the barrier.

To use Arts, you need to pronounce a series of words called chanting (code). But this is quite embarrassing.

Especially for men like me, they are old and have sore wounds.

If I cut it off, I'd rather have fun.

"I'm not there yet."

I send a respectful look to Lacto, who can say Niconico.

Certainly, she was singing brilliantly.

"Besides, Arts sells custom with a high degree of freedom, but that's hard to handle, isn't it?

"Sure, that's what they often say."

"Well, you gather pieces and combine them to make a chant."

Lacto nods as Letty digs back into her memory.

"Yes, for example, the Frozen Sharp Needle Arrow consists of four parts: Frozen, Sharp, Needle, and Arrow. Each of these attributes gives Arts ice attributes, slash attributes, penetration attributes, and arrow shapes."

"The more parts, the more art they specialize in, the more power they have, the more LPs they consume?

I added that she lowered her eyebrows.

"Incidentally, 'Frozen Sharp Needle Arrows' consumes 30 LP and 'Diffuse Frozen Arrows' 45 LP."

"Well, you're consuming more than 70% of your LP!

I'm surprised to hear about Lacto's capture.

The initial LP is 100 in total. If it's some kind of technique, there are as many LPs consumed as 10. LP also has vitality, so the more you consume, the closer you die.

Did you understand that? Letty was also stunned with her mouth covered.

"Oh, I'm fine. It's about half healed now."

"Hurry up, will you?

I don't use the "Camping" skill to help LP recover naturally.

I didn't recover the LP I consumed from the escape earlier.

"I used the source stones I got when I crushed Kaiser to speed up LP production."

Is that what you're saying?

That would convince me.

It's not strange to be here when you're crushing Kaiser. Then I can explain even if I have the source stone just like Letty.

"Do you not shake to the maximum amount of LP?

Letty questions it.

"Recovery speed is more important for art users than increasing the maximum amount of LP."

Arts' LP costs are quite heavy. It may be as powerful as that, but every time you shoot, the danger of death is inevitable.

The idea would be to increase the healing speed over the maximum amount and put more weight on how much you can activate.

"Oh, yeah. Wait a minute."

That much reminds me of one thing.

The tent you just bought is what you take out of the inventory.

"'Camp Establishment'"

Use your technique with a tent.

The tent is then assembled by itself, creating a simple camp in the rocky area.

"How's it going, Lacto, LP recovering?

"Huh? Wow, it's healing!

When I checked, Lacto looked into his mirror in surprise.

Letty must have recovered the LP she consumed. Of course, my LP is also visibly improving its recovery rate.

"This is a skill, isn't it?

"Oh, I'm training this skill mainly."

Lacto stood up excited and approached me.

She opened her pale green eyes and told me.

"Reggie, could you have a party with me?
