Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

My vision dimmed, and the next moment, I was floating in a slightly viscous liquid that was light green.

The drainage mechanism is activated, and the water level drops while forming a large bubble.

They said I was in a cylindrical glass case the size of which fits me alone.

"... is it like this when you die?"

Glass, like a large test tube, had exactly the same structure as an Update Center machine.

If you drop your gaze, you'll see a boneless structure of iron with no skin attached.

"Oh, I wonder if the body... was still at the point of death?"

Death in this game is not simply sent back to the savepoint.

Even after death, the original aircraft remains, and only consciousness is returned to the town where the data was previously backed up.

The consciousness is transferred to the emergency sub and action is resumed.

If you can recover the sub aircraft by returning to the point of death within a certain time even in the state of the sub aircraft, there is no penalty.

However, 24 hours in-game, if it has not been collected by then, or if it is difficult to collect it on your own, Susano's airframe recovery robot will be activated.

Instead, skills and so on are rewound up until the point of backup, and then the cost of recovery is taken.

"Hello, Mr. Reggie, are you okay?

As Letty stood idle in an empty tube, communication came from Letty.

Letty. How's it going?

"For now, I am returning to the Snake Lake and Swamp and evacuating to the Yata Glass portal.... the lact is sinking a little."

"... for now, I'm going to go there with Yata Glass. Let's see... if we can retrieve it."

I cut off the communication and breathed because it was deep.

So I turned to the underground home in the central control area, looking back on what happened a few minutes ago.

†

"I see you're moving on."

It seems so. The old fallen tree is gone. "

Lacto, we met Amy and the four of us, and we sailed down the Snake Lake and Swamp with pride and weapons.

The same thick fog was a poor field of vision that could not be seen a few meters away, but mud with high moisture content did not take as much foot as before.

The power of Shadow Skyle's gear was remarkable, and Letty and I felt the ease of walking above the level of our Walking Skill.

"Enemy hunting is now easier, and I wonder if I can afford the new map ahead."

Letty and so on, so light.

"Say that. I don't even know if I'm going to get beat up."

Amy fills her chest into a field she hasn't seen yet, as she squeezes her.

Lacto was breathing about collecting new art chips.

So we finally got to the bottom of the Snake Lake and Swamp and discovered that the huge fallen tree that was holding us back was gone.

Well then, let's go.

"Yeah, let's be careful."

Letty and Amy swallow the saliva and step out.

Me and Lacto follow it, and we move on to the fallen tree...

"What!?

Lacto!

Suddenly, his feet collapse and the top of his head, which was visible at the edge of his vision, disappears.

An aggressively stretched hand grabbed her blue robe.

"Beep, eeeeeee....."

"Stay still. My hands slip when I move."

Lacto makes your face sneeze.

What I saw in the fog was a torrent of gouges and splashes.

It was good to have a small body and a light fairy.

If Amy had fallen, I wouldn't have been able to support her.

"Was there a river from the lake? I didn't notice."

"Don't move poorly. My feet are so fragile...!

Instead of me throwing my legs and putting my chest on the ground, Letty and Amy figure out what's going on around them.

The fog diminishes as if it were trying, and the scenery becomes clearer.

The path leading from the "Lake and Swamp of Water Snakes" was narrow along the riverbanks of the rapids.

Not only this, but several violent streams of water form a magnificent river ahead.

There were no tall trees around, and large rocks were rich in green moss.

"Letty, Amy, can you help me?"

"I see. Please endure it a little longer."

Lacto wobbling in the wind clings to my arm.

If I had moved, she would have fallen into the current.

They move carefully to my left and right to keep their feet from collapsing.

So when they tried to reach Lacto on their knees.

Ugh!

"Mr. Reggie!?

A huge shadow appears in the cloudy currents, and I aggressively pull up lact.

It was an almost unimaginable action, but in the end it worked.

"Haaaah!?

Lacto's scream.

A giant fish that emerges from below the surface of the water with its large jaws open to the limit.

Yellow and cloudy teeth lined up sharply, aiming for lact's feet.

"Uh-oh!

Pull up the lact by force.

Instead, the balance collapsed, and I fell into the mouth of a giant fish with a crumbling ground.

Reggie!

"Mr. Reggie!!

Lacto opens his eyes and reaches out.

If Amy hadn't held back her shoulders, she might have jumped in.

"I was dead, it was like I was dead!

Turn yourself in the air and pull out your spear at the same time.

Shake the red blade and scratch the strange fish's mouth.

Although it was not paralyzed or petrified, the fish were frightened and shut their mouths.

And I kicked it, and I hit it on the water, and I reached up to the cliff,

"Shit."

Reggie!

I cannot reach my fingertips a few centimeters later.

I was quickly swallowed by a torrent, and in an instant the LP was wiped out and blown away.

†

"Well, it was like an accident, and Lacto was worried about it."

When I stepped down from the Yata Glass onto the portal of "Lake and Swamp of Water Snakes," a red-eyed lact popped up.

I'll take her off my waist and leave her with Amy to apologize.

"But it's my fault, Reggie...."

"It's not Lacto's fault. I was just unlucky."

"But the plane...."

"Just look for it. Well, I don't have a camp set, so it might be a little rough."

A slightly violent stroke of lact's clear, light blue hair.

"I don't have the strength to fight, and my luggage doesn't change. Fortunately, I still have a status system for skills, so if I just follow it, I can handle it."

"Yes, leave the guards to Letty as usual!

Drawing on my feelings, Letty smacks her chest with a cheerful voice.

Amy nodded with her hands on Lacto's shoulders.

"That's how it is. Lacto, please."

"... yeah. I got it."

I rubbed my beak and eyes, and there was no weak girl there.

A poor girl with sharp light in her grassy eyes stood proud of her short bow.

"Nevertheless, in that torrent. I don't know how long it's been running."

Now it's time to carry your feet carefully and blur so you don't step off.

I can't believe it's sinking in that place that fell into the river, but it's the mountain of Sekiyama that makes mummies like they jumped into that torrent and retrieved them.

"For now, we have to walk downstream of the river."

That's how Letty did it. We had limited action to take.

"Damn it, I'll catch that fish..."

He remembers the strange fish that jumped out to eat lact and accidentally bites his teeth.

It will be hard to catch big things, big things, fish.

That's why my blood as a fisherman makes a scene.

Oh, is that the type of fish you're fishing for?

"I don't think I can lift it anyway...."

The two men walking in front looked back and said.

"Fish is fish, right? Fish will catch us."

"Isn't the theory too strong?"

Even after hearing my claim, Letty didn't break her chaotic expression.

"Still, Ledge's skeletons are fresh."

I haven't seen Letty in a long time.

I nodded at Amy's words.

I took Letty to the skin shop on the first day of the game, and Lacto and Amy don't know who I am.

When I came back to die, I felt a little bit like myself in the glass.

"Skeletons don't like faces because they're hard to read."

"Is that what this is about? Maybe there's a Skeleton exclusive gathering."

"It's rare enough to talk about gatherings like this."

……

While blooming in the story of Square Mountains, I glimpse at the lact walking next door.

It's always mixed up aggressively, but now it's grown up.

... even if you feel so responsible, it's hard to do it.

"Hey, lact."

"Papi!?

She looks up at me in surprise and opens her mouth.

"... what do you like the most about the New World menu?

Yes?

My question seems to have completely poked her false. [M]

A pigeon opens its mouth as small as a bean cannon and lact tilts its neck.

I kept blowing it out of my sight for a while.

"If you get home safely, buy me Lacto's recommendations. Then I'll forgive you."

"Ah, eh...."

Confusing lact.

Looking at the interaction, Letty slapped her hand.

"That's good. From now on, let the dead buy something from the survivors."

"Very nice. I've only been asking for tea lately."

Amy gets on top of it, and the story goes on.

Lacto, who shook his head to the left and right and was confused, finally smiled a little.

"Okay.... then when I get back, I'll give you a Blizzard Max Mixed Berry Hard Topping White Whip Castle from New Heaven and Earth."

"... is that really recommended?

"Recommended. You can look forward to it."

It seems that not only Letty but also Lacto were swallowed by the demons of New Heaven and Earth.

I had no choice but to nod while already regretting the words a few seconds ago.
