Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

A full week passed from the day we crushed Lapis in hiding.

While the whole town was awakening to the signs of the first event that was getting closer and closer, our party repeated its expeditions to the Snake Lake and Swamp, sending days to expand its combat power and collect funds.

It's been a while since I've been alone.

It was unusual and not convenient for everyone on this day, and I was walking alone on Susano Street.

Whether the announcement of the event became an accelerator or not, people's outfits have changed over the past few days.

Golem-shaped warriors wearing heavy armor that you don't want to think about how much ingots you've spent, or the Lycan slope-shaped scorn of cat ears wearing fur vests. A fairy-shaped robe that looks like a fantasy.

The enthusiasm of the players in the production profession is incredible, and the town has a variety of outfits that are not only nationalities, but even different worldviews, spreading colorful colors.

Neva seems busy, too, and we can't keep the new gear.

I tried to contact her several times since then, but it seems that she was busy with special needs before the event, so it wasn't quite as planned.

I was hoping you could make some equipment out of the Rapis materials you collected, but I can't help it anymore.

"But, well, what do we do?"

Even Snake Lake and Swamp is dangerous for me.

Since Letty doesn't have the required level of sub-skill system skills in combat positions such as Combat Skills and Arts Skills, there were some Spear Magic and Traps, and self-defense was as good as Kansai.

If we're just going to defend the camp, we can afford to spend about a month on the assumption that we have supplies...

When I was thinking about my schedule for the day like that, an unexpected call came in.

"Yes. It's been a long time."

The caller was Length.

A man who wanted to be a Wiki editor and used to use underground tunnels all over town to help us.

He pleases the conversation for the first time in a long time with a slightly rough voice over the phone.

Reggie, it's been a long time. How are you?

"Well, that's pretty good. What can I do for you?"

Ah, I have a favor to ask you…

That's how he gives an overview of things.

Even though I was surprised, I agreed for the time being and met him at the classic coffee (New Heaven and Earth) to talk about it in detail.

†

Whoa, Reggie, this way.

As soon as I opened the door of the new heavens and earth, I heard a loud voice from the back seat.

Looking at you, a big, ugly man sat up and waved his fat arms.

"... Length, you've changed your mind."

While approaching with confusion, confirm that the villain is Length.

Leather jeans, red bandanas, and black sunglasses looked a long time ago like bad oaks, quite different from when we met before.

"Hahaha! Try a lot of skin. I just changed this three days ago."

"You don't have to change that often."

He looked stunned at his box seat and noticed that two more players were sitting.

"Oops, nice to meet you. - Length, who are these people?

"Oh, that's my client."

In the meantime, Length fills the back and bangs on the seat next door.

After I lowered my hips and ordered the right drinks, I saw the faces of the young men and women lined up on the other side again.

The reason Length contacted me.

That was because someone appeared who wanted to ask me for help through him.

I don't even know the details yet, but let's start with introducing ourselves.

For now, it's Reggie.

That said, they both opened their mouths in a hurry.

"My name is Toka."

"... it's a mikage."

The girl named Toca appeared light green on a kimono with a vibrant peach blossom pattern, as her name suggests.

Next to it is a pair of Japanese swords, and a peach-colored brush is inserted into the loosely bundled, glossy, wet feather-colored hair.

She was a quiet, sophisticated girl with the adjective Daiwa Fuko.

And the boy sitting next to him is in contrast to Toka in a way.

With hair and eyes of the same color as the toca, there is also a pale skin, and at first glance there are two toca and melon that seem to be mistaken for a girl.

However, the costume was a black dress dyed all over the place and, in a word, a ninja.

"Um, is it okay for Toka-chan and Mikage-kun?

"Neither I nor Mikage can be abandoned."

"Really... Um, so why are you asking me?

From the stand-up, it looks like they're both in combat, and they won't be asking for escorts. Rather, I'm the one who needs it.

I accidentally bent my neck in order to do what they wanted.

"Actually... I want Reggie to help me gather the materials."

"Material collection? You can't expect me to fight."

"No, what we're looking for is a facility that can stay in the field for a long time."

I'm also good at straightforward demands.

I suppose you're relying on my "camp" skills.

"Is that so? It's fine, but why me?

That was the only question that remained.

I'm not very specific about my skills.

The camp itself is remarkable, but few players know I built it.

The question I threw with that in mind was answered with a low laugh from the side.

"Kuk, that's because I taught you."

"Length?

He nods.

"When I looked at the board, I was asked, 'How do I stay in the field across the day?' I was a little interested, so I made contact."

"That was the toca. But Length knew a lot about my skills."

Mid-impressed, mid-middle astonished, he turned to us with a grinning and unbelievable smile.

"I'm a wiki editor, right? I don't want you to underestimate the information network."

"I don't know... be careful with harassment."

"I'm a pro, including the line around here."

Anyway, it seems that Length mediated between the two of them who appeared to have some kind of circumstance.

"If it's that kind of request, I'm free and I can take it. But first of all, can't you say you don't know where you're going?"

It's in a dense forest in the south.

Did you say the name of the dense forest in the south is "the dense forest of colorful birds"?

It's one of the fields I've never been to.

"Is there something there for you?

"Yes, there was an item that Enemies called Phantom Butterfly, the phantom butterfly who lives there, had a low chance of dropping."

I see. A rare drop.

Nod at the words of Toka.

"Yes, and the phantom butterfly itself is a very rare energy, so I think it's going to be quite a long way."

"Almost got it. Then I think I can help somewhat."

That brightens up Toka's expression suddenly.

Sometimes the expression of the neighboring lizard doesn't change at all, and it looks extra rich.

"But why don't you go back to town, replenish your supplies, and aim for the temper?

"That's right, but we haven't beaten the boss of the jungle yet."

You mean you can't use Yata Glass?

She nods softly with her shoulders down.

"... bird feathers"

Unexpectedly, the lizard muttered with a sleigh.

Yeah?

"... we have to collect the bird feathers"

Bird feathers? As she tilted her neck, the toca clapped her hands.

"That's right. I want the ingredients of the phantom butterfly earlier, but the lizard is collecting the ingredients of the Enemies called Hitachi birds."

"Hitachi bird?

Eyebrows at the new name.

Sometimes I've never been to a dense forest, but because I hardly know the information there, some words come out that I don't understand.

"A bird with orange feathers like the sun. It only comes out in the daytime. With that, the phantom butterfly only comes out at night. That's why I want an environment where I can keep hunting all day."

"I see. Somehow I understand."

With the exact addition of Length, I feel like I finally have a rough picture of the whole request.

Toka needs each of the Enemies materials to appear in the evening and Mikage only in the daytime, and it's more efficient to stay in the field than to go back to town to collect them.

Probably also preparing for an upcoming event in a week.

Otherwise, there is no reason to hurry until you ask me.

"Okay. I'll offer you a campsite. Instead, don't expect combat power."

"Thank you!

"... thank you."

Toca leans out to the table and opens her black eyes wide.

The lizard also leaned slightly and moved his lips.

Well then, thank you very much.

The party is the only one left, and Length leaves the new heavens and earth quickly.

The rest of us went hand in hand as proof of the conclusion.
