Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Ask Toka and the others to come back to the camp to introduce Letty to her unexpected rendezvous.

They looked surprised, but they were pleased to have her party.

Rather, thank you for your strength, which is enough for me to chest down.

"So, Mr. Reggie, I was able to take down a few for now, so I'll give them to you."

That's what Toka said, placing the butterfly she was holding on the workbench.

The wider her wings were, the bigger her body was wrapped in dark purple scales and glowing suspiciously in the moonlight.

"Is this the phantom butterfly?"

"Yes, I also say Phantom Butterfly. As the name suggests, it's an energy that uses phantom moves."

This means that the butterfly material is what Toka wants.

"What does a phantom trick mean?

For the first time in the dense forest, Letty asks Toka.

She gently stroked the wings of the butterflies arranged on the workbench and applied fine scales to the fingertips.

"When this butterfly feels dangerous, it spreads the scales all around it."

When the toca rubs against each other's fingertips, the scales drift around in the wind.

When I see it, I doubt my eyes. [M]

"This is...."

"This scale seems to distort the refraction of light."

It was a strange sight.

The scales spread by the toca drift through the air and receive the moon's light.

As a result, her body loses shape like a distorted and heated metal.

No, she's not the only one.

All the space where the scales drift is constantly curved in an irregular fashion, driving the senses crazy.

"It's quite a hassle. I can't feel the distance."

Looking at it, Letty expresses her feelings from a combatant perspective.

Indeed, the Toka, who stood nearby, moved away and approached suddenly and looked around.

"Besides, he only shows up at night, and this body color. It's hard to find first....."

In trouble, Toka raised her willow eyebrows.

She had collected three phantom butterflies in the past few moments, but they were still far from enough.

"... I gathered them too."

Next to the butterfly on the workbench, two more lizards line up.

He also seems to have been working hard to gather materials for his sister's search.

Well, can I dismantle it now?

"Yes, please."

While taking out the dismantling knife, Toka nodded with anticipation.

I feel strange tension, pointing the knife at the butterfly.

"'Dismantling'"

Using the technique, a red line appears on the butterfly's body surface.

If you trace it all with a knife, it will be dismantled...

"This is...."

"What's the matter?

Letty standing next to her tilted her neck to a disturbing reaction.

I put the knife down once and exhale loudly.

Then he turned to Toka and lowered his head.

"This is pretty hard. Be prepared to fail."

"Is that so hard?

"Oh, the red line of the guide is thin enough to be seen for the first time. I think my score will drop even if I do it very carefully."

My lack of skill level is difficult to think of because it was also common in the even more difficult field of "Snake Lake and Swamp".

Perhaps this is the trait of the phantom butterfly itself, or the trait of an insect-type protoorganism.

An abnormally fragile body is convincing if it is indeed an insect.

In the first place, I have not dismantled protozoa in such a small body.

Even the singbirds lined up on the table are fairly small if you look at them again.

"This must be the hallmark of this whole field. It is difficult to dismantle and has a lot of small body energies."

"Is that so...? I understand."

I didn't want to say much just because I've been taking on the role of dismantler of the party, but the energy of this field is quite difficult.

Conveying this to Toka, she silenced for a while before turning to her determined eyes.

"Still, I'd like to ask Mr. Reggie. I believe in Reggie's skills."

"... are you sure?

I inadvertently doubt her words.

If you fail to dismantle, you will not even get the bonus or the drop item that you would have normally earned.

Even so, she shook her head softly and did not bend her will.

"What I'm looking for - the ultimate scallop of Phantom Butterfly is a very rare item that is rarely found in regular drops. That's why if Reggie's skills are going to increase her potential a little bit, I think she's more hopeful."

I see. Then I'll do my best. "

With her trust, I regain the heart I was afraid of.

Grab the knife again and take a big breath to focus.

"'Dismantling'"

Looking at the light red line, insert the cutting edge.

Guu

Suddenly, the black body of the phantom butterfly collapsed.

It's as brittle as a chunk of dry sand.

Prepare a second one, and now apply the blade with even less force.

"... is this too weak?"

Maybe it was because I was too timid, but this time it was not a judgment that I inserted the blade.

Well, it's better than putting too much effort into breaking the butterfly.

I slightly strengthen and slip.

Alright...

Now the work proceeds without any problems.

This force is tapped into your body.

It's the exact opposite of when you're dismantling a scale surpent, an oily toad, or a lapis.

Protozoans with larger bodies than me have strong muscles, strong scales, and bones.

Until now, with the momentum of cracking it, I used my strength to slip the blade.

Otherwise, the work would not have progressed, and their bodies would have been able to withstand the force.

"Gu. Again...."

I have a rash with my thoughts.

A moment of shaking shatters the butterfly's body.

Everything will be ruined just by taking a moment out of your mind.

Raise your face to calm down.

"What about the toca and the lizard?

Letty just stood at the table and peeked into it, and I couldn't see the two of them dressed in Japanese.

Losing sight, Letty said with a slightly dazed expression.

"He said he was going to hunt additional phantom butterflies. I was talking to Mr. Reggie. Didn't you notice?

I look at her in dismay.

I don't seem to be lying.

I feel weak and relaxed about how focused I was.

"Then why did Letty stay?

She will also be a full-time fighter, and there will be no reason to stay in the camp.

When she asks, her cheeks turn red.

Ehehe. Speaking of which, I don't think I've seen much of Reggie dismantling it. "

"Was it?

I'm always dismantling their hunted energies, and I don't think it's so unusual...

"Immediately after the battle, I was tired and I couldn't concentrate. I can't afford to sit on the ground and rest and look at Mr. Reggie."

Is that so? Well, it's not that interesting either. "

That said, Letty shakes her neck sideways.

"That's not true! Mr. Reggie may not have noticed, but he's really good at dismantling."

"Yeah... Is that true?"

I don't get much of a sense of reality and doubt her words.

Letty swollen her cheeks and looked back at me like that.

"In the first place, there aren't many people who have niche skills."

"What, from there?"

"It is basically more advantageous to increase your combat power and time efficiency than to take it."

"It weighs more than quality."

That's what she nods at.

Indeed, it is better to dedicate skill points that focus on Dismantling skills to other skills related to direct combat power enhancement, such as Combat Skills and Ninjitsu, to crush many energies in a short time.

Perhaps there is a lot of material that can be obtained in this way.

Well, when you're aiming for a rare drop like Mr. Toka this time, you're showing the essence of your demolition skills.

I see. If it's a normal drop, it won't come out at all. "

But Letty once again pointed to the strange nature of my skill structure.

In the first place, either "camping" or "demolition" is added to the spice used to bring out the personality of the build.

My majorities are splitting the vast majority into spices...

"... I'm starting to want to eat curry."

"Why would that happen?

Letty was kind of good at staggering in.

I'm going to take out the newly purchased tools from the inventory, hopefully because I'm out of focus.

"... Mr. Reggie, what is this?

"I told you, I'm starting to want curry."

With that said, knives, cutting boards, and pots line the workbench.

There are also vegetables and spices lined up, and the ingredients are leaky.

Um, did you have cooking skills?

"Let's get it up now."

Well, let's have chicken curry tonight.

I mean, there's a singbird right here.

"Hmm...."

Letty looked at me like she was very tired for some reason.
