Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 25: Intercept the Base

"I can't, eh? What do you mean by that?

I am confused by the words that are released at the same time.

Letty nodded without changing her expression, as if they were not mistaken or listening to me.

"Letty and Lacto are not compatible."

"No, but Letty's in the front, and Lacto's in the back, right? Letty can collect enemy hatred with intimidation....."

That's not what I'm talking about, Reggie.

Lacto shook his head and looked at us as he was tilting his neck without seeing the truth.

It's simply a matter of compatibility.

"Are you two in a bad relationship?

The mystery deepens when you hear Lacto's words.

When they raised their eyebrows, they denied it.

"No, it's compatible with me and Letty and the natives of this swamp."

That's how Lacto started talking about the hunt between the two of us.

"We found Enemies as soon as we broke up with Reggie. His name is Paralyzed Tod. A frog that secretes paralytic mucus."

"Isn't this something else?

I glance at the giant frog lying next to the base.

The guy Letty was chasing when they ran away.

"No, it's not. This is, uh..."

Lacto didn't seem to have the Appraisal skill, so he couldn't confirm the name of the prototype.

She sends her gaze to Letty.

It's an oily toad.

Yeah, yeah, that's it.

With Letty's help, Lacto returns to the story.

"Well, I think the first fight went pretty well. The paralyzed toe wasn't as big as the oily toe, and it didn't move very fast."

Oh, yes.

In the middle of Lacto's story, Letty raised her face as she remembered.

She walks towards me and opens the trade screen.

"Could you please give me an appraisal because the materials of the paralyzed toad have been removed?

"Oops, I'll take care of that."

Receive several types of items with such conversations.

Let's put the appraisal behind us and listen to Lacto now.

"Well, that's right. So we defeated a few paralyzed toads, and went further into the marshes. I haven't used art yet at this stage, so LP has plenty of room."

Lacto lifts his bow and says.

Arts can be a big hit, but LPs consume a lot more. That's why she's usually hunting around a physical attack with a bow.

"That's where I met this oily toad...."

Letty picked up Lacto's speech butt and glanced at the big frog lying beside her in disdain.

"We were in a mood to crush some paralyzed toads. So when Letty found this oily toad in the distance, she thought she could do it and slashed it."

Well, Letty's a hammer, so it's not a cutting attribute.

Letty sandwiches her words with her face.

I don't need such a thing now.

"Well, in conclusion, it's a disaster. This is how I ran away."

"Why? Even though it's a big figure, it's a frog."

"This guy's not going to blow it up."

Oh, my God, Lacto with her hands up. When I twisted my neck, Letty swollen her cheeks.

"Doesn't it work?

"Yes, because of the oil on the surface, the hammer will slip and escape the shock."

Letty said as she slapped the white skin of the frog.

Well, that's why Letty didn't join the interception when he ran away. She knew that the blow would not work.

"Nevertheless, do you have lact bows and arts?

"That's the second problem. This guy's got a lot of health and a lot of big stuff. If you shredded it with a bow, Hate would come to me and I'd be knocked down before I could finish."

"That's why Lacto switched to Arts on the way, but her LP ran out before she ran out of HP."

"Ok, so Letty didn't have enough LP left to run."

Having heard that much, I was finally convinced.

Letty's proud blow won't pass, and even Lacto's art can't get rid of it. I see. It's a nasty enemy.

"So what do we do? Should I join you?

That way, Letty and the others think a little and open their mouths.

"Before that, what was the tiger bassami around here? Looks like the oily toad got caught too."

"Ah, it's a newly developed Trap skill. I was wondering if we could defend the camp with this."

That said, they looked at each other in surprise.

Lacto looked at me and said, "It's a suggestion," thinking that he had wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Letty and I will be fishermen, so will Reggie set a trap around here?

"When the oily toast arrives, please play with your dick with the tiger bassami!

I'm surprised at the way they showed me.

"Are you sure? Both of you won't be too fast."

"But Letty is fast enough to run away with lact on her back."

"And if I attack from a distance, I can take the hat while I earn the distance."

Letty and Lacto explore the swamp, and when they find the Oily Todo, Lacto shoots attacks from a distance to gain attention. On top of that, he returned to his camp and attacked while Lacto recovered his LP. The Oily Toad blocks the movement with a trap I set up.

I wonder if I can do it or not. Whatever you say, I actually did it earlier.

"But when you meet other Enemies when you run away while you're attracting them,"

"Then Letty will take care of it!

Letty blows up my anxiety with an inspiring expression.

"... if that's all I'm saying, let's try it. Either way, let me know when you get back. So, you and Lacto haven't signed up yet."

That's why I've registered my friends with Lacto so they can call remotely at any time.

You won't have to worry about them suddenly fleeing back.

"There are only six tiger bassamis left."

"Ok! I'll go now."

So Letty and the others disappear into the fog of the swamp again.

I dropped that back off, and I got ready for the trap.

"But I didn't know that the Trap skills you just started would come in handy soon."

I really don't know what's going to fall.

I've just caught a big one and my skill level is rising steadily.

This will allow me to buy a new cartridge when I get back to town.

Well, here's what it looks like.

The installation of traps takes time, so about three traps should be arranged in each direction in advance.

The rest is an emergency reserve in case you come from a completely different place.

Well, let's wait.

Once you're ready, there's nothing you can do.

I will take care of the demolition of the body of the Oily Tod that I have left unattended.

"Dismantling itself seems so difficult."

Although it took a lot of time and effort just because it was large, the red line that appeared at the time of dismantling did not paint such a complex trajectory.

If you trace the line and slip the blade, the skin will cut smoothly with a lukewarm feel.

As long as the Strike Attribute doesn't work, the Slash Attribute attacks may work well.

All right, over.

I dropped frog meat and oily frog oil from the oily toad. It's just called an oil frog, and you get a lot of oil with the Dismantling Bonus.

Together, we also evaluate the paralyzed toad materials we received from Letty while waiting for the TEL to fly in.

Wait for a few minutes. It came just when I had finished appraising all the items.

Hello! I've found the Oily Toad, so I'll bring it with me.

The call sounded with an audible sound, and Letty's voice jumped in when she responded.

"Do you know the direction?

Er, Letty and the others were walking straight!

Copy that.

Already running, Letty is breathing out.

I couldn't afford to think calmly, and such an answer came back, but it was enough.

I'll get up and set up another tiger bassami in the direction they left off.

"Reggie!

"This way!

In that case, Letty's voice came from behind the fog.

In response, Letty and Lacto ran through the fog.

Coming soon.

"Anytime."

Lacto's voice.

The next moment, the giant body of the oily toad appeared with a splash.

"This way."

Direct them in a trapped direction.

The frog proceeds after Lacto, who has the weight.

And then...

"It took!

The tiger thrusts through, and the steel blade swallows into its soft skin.

The frog's screams split the fog.

"Lacto!"

"Recovering now!

Lacto is gaining momentum into the camp and recovering his LP.

Buying time in the meantime destroys one tiger bassami.

"All right, all right!

An angry frog breaks out and another tiger bassami catches it.

Lacto rises and spins the chant (code).

"Freezing Sharp Needle Arrows"

In that blow, the Oily Tod lay down in the swamp.
