Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Episode 56 "Black Shadow Running Through Darkness with Flower Sword"
The Aoyagori Forest is a field that stretches south of Susano.
The number of habitat energies is much higher than in other fields, forming a diverse ecosystem.
The three of us, Toca and Mikage, arrived at the entrance to the dense forest at dusk, but we felt constant signs of creatures from the shadow of the dark trees.
"In the meantime, let's decide where to put the tent."
"I see. Let us handle the enemies on the road."
Mikage, a veteran, steps into the woods alongside a stretching toca.
It has an adjacent relationship to the Beast Forest, but even though it is the same forest, this one is dense with thick cymbals entangled in trees.
The roads are narrow, and it is likely to be a difficult environment to swing a long weapon around.
"Toca"
After a while, the front-facing lizard suddenly turned around.
Her mouth was hidden behind a black mask, but she called out her sister's name with a clear, well-passed voice.
"I understand."
It seems that there is only twin sisters and brothers, and that alone is enough communication.
When Toca pulled her chin small, she raised the handle of the sword on her waist.
When I put my back on the trunk of a nearby tree to keep them out of the way, a bird appeared from the other side of the lizard.
You must be Singbird.
The toca slightly lowered her chest.
The bird cuts straight into us whilst melting with a pleasant voice tone.
"Mikage, I'm here."
"Okay."
Mikage gives way, Singbird and Toka face each other in a straight line.
"--Colorful Flower Stream," "Vine Break" "
Khhhhh! A high-armored sound goes through your ears.
In a blink of an eye, Toka shook her sword and cut up the flying Singbird with a flash.
With a precisely targeted blade, the bird crashes into the ground without any trick.
"Wow. A blow."
I overwhelmingly raise my voice of praise.
Toga smiles itchy as she puts her sword back into her sheath.
"Fufu. It's still a little famous in the swordsmanship neighborhood."
"Really? I'm sorry."
With your fingers on your mouth, your face will melt gently, and you won't feel the tension like the thread you just stretched.
"Toca found a colorful flower stream. Amazing people."
"Colorful flowers?
Mikage said he was picking up Singbird and approaching.
The technique used by Toka was something I didn't know.
Was she the one who discovered it?
"This is a technique dedicated to Katana swords. I was better suited to my nature than the so-called Western sword, so I asked the woodsman to make a wooden sword."
"I see. You've been working with custom weapons since the beginning."
"Yes, thanks to that, I was the first to discover a school of techniques called the colorful flower stream."
Genre hey. Are there any other weapon species like that?
Say Sarasa, what she has accomplished is the discovery of new elements.
Her discovery of new possibilities not only brings hope to Swordsmanship skills, but also to other weapon species.
"Actually, I don't buy skill cartridges."
Dividing into the woods again, Toka said with a little chest lifted.
By not purchasing a cartridge, you mean you don't remember any basic techniques.
I look at her without hiding my surprise.
"There are three techniques I have mastered in my Swordsmanship skills. It's all about colorful flowers."
"That's a lot of money. Is it no longer a struggle or a tie-down play?
"Sure, I think it's a little hard. But I'm actually a little stubborn."
With a smile around his mouth, Toka jokes in a light tone.
Certainly, her peach flower kimono and chestnut will not be matched with a little attention.
I don't know where I sell Japanese clothing to shops in Susano, and it's probably a bespoke gift to a tailor with skills in sewing.
This game, which is still in its early stages, can be respected with just this much alignment.
"Do you need phantom butterfly materials in that kind of attention?
When asked with concern, Toka shook her black hair and leaned her neck.
"Keep it to yourself. We'll show it to Reggie when we get it together."
With my loving black eyes, I shrug my shoulders by accident.
If that's what she is, let's hope.
"Toca"
At that time, the voice of Mikage rises again.
He seemed to be leaning against the trunk of the tree and asking ahead.
"What's wrong?
When Toca rushed in to ask, he pointed gently forward.
It was a small space that was fully open while the trees were dense.
Large leafy cedar-like plants cover the ground, and mosses and mushrooms stretch out from the trunk of the tree in the evening woods.
"How about camping over there?
Mikage looks at me and says,
Look out at the open space and check its size.
My feet are a little cluttered, but I think I can handle it with "topographic maintenance."
"It looks okay."
"Okay. Then I'll clean it up."
When I nod, he suddenly falls out of the shade.
"'Sign Block' 'Two-Stage Jump'"
His dark outfit melts into the dark forest.
He jumps astonishingly high, passing through the branches of the trees, and jumps into the center of the square.
"Shadow Blade (Assassination Edge)"
I think I pulled out the Shinobi sword I raised behind my waist, and the silver sparkles only for a moment.
Shortly afterwards, the tall Abandoned Demon rocked the surrounding branch leaves, and a huge beast shadow jumped from the shade of the square.
"Discovery of weaknesses, decapitation."
Mikage quickly circles behind the beast and uses his technique to stand still.
A red and black effect erupts and the beast's HP is instantly shredded out.
"Oh... I didn't even know what happened."
Mikage returns to me in the same calm atmosphere as before.
Things moved too far in a few seconds to even know what he was fighting.
"There was a tail lizard in the middle. I took him down."
"Tail Lizard? Wow, really."
Enter the square and find a large lizard with a grass cut in the middle.
It is a harsh-looking reptile characterized by a long tail that is three times as long as the body, as the name suggests.
Mikage noticed this being hidden in the shadow of the grass beneath his feet, rather approaching and defeating him without being noticed.
It's a vibrant arm that falls in love even if you look back now.
"Mikage loves ninjas."
The toca who came said with a little pride.
Mikage looked shy, but he didn't deny it.
Somehow I knew from the costume that he was still a ninja playstyle.
"'Sign Blocking' and 'Two-Stage Jump' are Ninjutsu skills. The Shadow Blade is a combination of Ninjutsu and Swordsmanship."
Skill. It seems that there are many players who are stretching even if it's not a ninja-like build with a variety of easy to use techniques. "
Speaking of the knowledge learned on the bulletin board, Mikage nodded.
Ninjutsu Skills are one of the useful main skill based life skills with various techniques related to ninjas as its name suggests.
However, he puts this skill at the heart of the build and pursues a thorough ninja configuration.
Samurai girl, Ninja boy.
I see. My sister and brother are quite full of personality.
"It's an interesting structure for both of us.... I'm going to get mad too."
As far as hobbies are concerned, I'm no worse than losing.
Remembering the red-haired rabbit ear girl, I start my work.
Okay, I'm gonna set up a camp. Stay away from me.
After confirming that they had moved to the edge of the square, they continued to use "topographic maintenance" and "campsite installation".
The grass is removed over time, and the ground is even.
Looking up at the iron fortress assembled on top of it, the two were surprised to open their mouths with Pocahontas.
"'Cooktop installation', good. That's enough."
Call out to the two standing men and bring them into the camp.
They lose their calm and react as though they were Letty's own.
When I whistled, they quickly settled down on the chair.
Welcome to my camp.
Stay calm and spread your arms toward the two of you.
When asked how they felt, Toka still had an unrealistic expression.
"I didn't think this was a solid building."
"Did you think it was like a regular tent? That's right."
I don't think a fortress like this can be built with my camping skills.
"But don't worry. There's no ambush."
The words of the lizard that followed belonged to those who endured the darkness of the boulder.
He looked over the tall barrier and nodded with satisfaction.
"For now, the base is like this. I collect a certain amount of supplies so I can hold them in a few days."
"Thank you again. Like this for us....."
Toka bows her head respectfully.
I'm not used to that. I'll have her raise her face and put her hands around my neck.
"I just made a deal. I can't thank you anymore."
Instead, I see them.
"It's up to the two of you to gather the materials you're looking for. Good luck."
I'm just offering a base.
I don't want to be expected to fight.
Beyond that, it is up to the two of us to decide how to spend time in this dense forest.
In that sense, they nodded deeply.
