Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 23 "With New Companions"

"Ha, ha, ha!? Why is Mr. Lacto having a party with Mr. Reggie?

"No, why is Letty surprised?"

It was Letty who saw the lact snuggled up to my chest and raised her voice.

When she squeezed her mouth, she shook her head and denied it.

"That's right. Nothing."

……

Sometimes I don't know what she's doing.

Anyway, now it's about the girl holding onto my fang series fur like a semi.

"Uh, Lacto, just leave me alone for now."

"Oops, excuse me. Excuse me."

"You don't have to be respectful.

There was something normal going on just now, and I think it's better now.

With that in mind, she nodded that she understood the illumination.

Well then, let me talk normally. It's easier for me too. "

The tone was different and shattered just now, and Lacto also adjusted his posture with a relaxed look.

"So, why are you suddenly having a party with me?

"Well, art users are having a hard time recovering their LPs."

She repeated to confirm what she had just said.

Indeed, the arts she handles are very heavy on LP consumption. The sooner you use it, the sooner you die.

"That's why the first grasslands and woods were attacked with this."

That's how Lacto lifted a wooden bow. It is a small thing that seeks good maneuverability, and there are arrows on her waist.

"Normally, when you attack with a bow, you look at the gap and use art, right?

"Yeah, well, fairies are ineffective, so there's a weight constraint, and we can only use small bows like this."

Nevertheless, shooting Arts without thinking and running out of LPs is a bitter strategy. Arts and bows are mostly ranged, so they go well with each other.

"But the trouble is, the Snake Lake and Swamp is too strong."

"You mean you can't fight with a bow?"

Lacto nods.

"A bigger, stronger bow would also go through the attack. This bow doesn't have enough penetration."

I see. The only way to find penetration is to use Art, but Art is not capable of firing.

"Ugh, so why don't we use an ampoule?

Letty suggested inflating her cheeks.

An ampoule is an item that restores LP. It is also sold in Susano's shop and can be made using the skill of Formula.

Nevertheless,

"The ampoules are still expensive, and when you use them, the balance of payments goes into deficit."

I see. It's expensive. "

I agree with Lacto who lowers his eyebrows.

The ampoule is one of the most valuable means of LP recovery, but it is too valuable and quite expensive. There are several ranks depending on the amount recovered, but the lowest Class I ampoule will do 500 bits per ampoule.

If you don't mind, it's like 'Meditation' in Arts Skills.

"Of course I remember. But if you don't stop and close your eyes, your recovery won't start."

I don't think you can use that in battle.

"Which side is Reggie on?!

"You don't have any allies..."

Why is Letty displaying hostility to Lacto?

Anyway, I got what Lacto wanted to say.

"The point is, you want to use my camping skills to restore LP?

That said, she nods with her eyes closed.

"So you don't have to party?

"You know, partying is more beneficial."

"That's right. That's why I want you to come to the party to efficiently recover the LP."

Letty doesn't seem to like it, but it doesn't matter to me. Rather, I'd be happy if someone as talented as Lacto could help me.

"I'm good."

"... I won't say anything if Mr. Reggie is good."

As I understood it, Letty followed it with deep wrinkles between her eyebrows.

When Lacto brightened his expression, he held my hand and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Ahh! Ahh!

"Well, what's the matter?

Letty shouted out her ears as soon as she could. When Lacto looked back in surprise, she whistled poorly at her face.

I'm not sure.

Well, thank you very much.

Yes!

That's why a third person joined our party.

So, this is the future course of action.

When they calm down, I'll sit on the rock and cut out the story.

Letty lowered her hips next to me and Lacto turned to us in a face-to-face fashion.

"Letty and Lacto, why don't you two go hunting?

"... what?

What?

The two voices overlap.

"Whoa, whoa, what do you mean!? What about Mr. Reggie?

"I was hoping for Reggie's ability to recover...."

"Well, calm down a bit."

I forgive the two of them who stood up and stopped by without thinking, and I will continue to speak in detail.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I can't really expect it as a combat force because I have a lot of skills."

"But...."

Send Letty a line of sight and block the words.

"That's why I'm going to do a lot of backup. Use this camp as a base to set up a place where Letty and the others can go hunting safely."

"But then I can't recover the LP, can I?

"This camp can't be moved easily and it takes time to install, so you can't recover often while fighting anyway. Wouldn't it be more efficient to hunt with Letty and come back here as soon as you get hurt?

If I were a healer, the story would be different, but this camp is the only LP recovery I have and Lacto needs.

In that case, it would be better to increase performance as a hub and reduce the number of arts used by fighting Letty at the same time.

"If you're in danger, you can bring Enemy back. Then I'll join the fight with my spear. I just can't get too far while I'm camping."

Explaining that, they both managed to convince me.

No, I understand, but you're not convinced? Letty's expression is a little cloudy.

I'll think about it and open my mouth again.

"Well, what is it? Think of yourself as the husband waiting at home for the two of you to make a living."

"Shu!?

"Shufu...."

It was a gentle word, but the two reacted faithfully.

Letty standing up blushing on her cheeks, lact leaning down to think.

... I didn't say that in such a heavy sense, but I kind of feel like I picked the wrong word.

"Hey, leave the joke alone. Like that."

"I'm not kidding!

Eh?

"Letty, I'll do my best to make money. I'll earn money and protect Mr. Reggie's life."

"Fufu. That's what they say. I'll do my best."

"Um..."

"Please wait. I'll hunt the boss soon."

No, you know...

"Ok, I'll go for a while. Hold on, Reggie."

That said, they shake hands hard with each other's smiles.

Before I said anything, they all ran out of the rocks.

"... I think I made a mistake."

My crush, which stunned to the void, melted into the fog of silent swamps and disappeared.
