Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 109 "White Tree and Rayline"

In the woods during the day, I was surrounded by a burning atmosphere.

In humid, poorly ventilated spaces, sweat sprouts just a little walk away.

"I hate walking when it's hot like this."

"I don't know when or what's gonna pop out, so I've been watching."

Letty and Lacto said with a tight expression as they slapped their hands.

Lacto looks a little cool, but the thin lace fabric seems to bother the skin perfectly.

"Do you know how long it's gonna take to turn around?

"I think we're almost there. So far, about 80% of the total."

I affirmed in a clear tone that I was advancing my feet without hesitation.

I see. We'll camp when we get there, so let's rest there. "

"I did it! You'll be able to rest a little longer."

When I say so, Letty stretches her spine with a pin and a long ear.

When I realized it was coming to an end, I was a little motivated.

Well, let's take him down, Letty.

Amy holds her shield and says.

Behind her gaze was a new crocodile.

"Fuwaaaah, we're finally here!

A suddenly open space appears, and Letty shouts joyfully as she jumps into it.

Walking in the woods without the Lantern's intimidating effect was a mess, and I was forced to fight crocodiles many times after that.

Thanks to that, Letty's skills seemed to be rising steadily, but at the cost of that, she was also consuming energy.

"Don't change your mind again in the afternoon."

The square is roughly circular, with shallow, blue grass covering the ground.

At first glance, there is an atmosphere that the field boss is waiting for, but there is no sign of such a presence.

But I found something unfamiliar in the middle of the square and leaned my neck.

"Oh, was there a tree in that place?

That's what I was pointing to, almost in the middle of the square.

There are trees growing tall enough to surround without reaching out to a few adults.

"White tree? It wasn't like that."

I mean, isn't that where Reggie broke the rock yesterday?

We observe the white trunk trees that we are unfamiliar with, and we raise our eyebrows together.

"Do you recognize Hippocampus?

"No, I don't. When I saw it last night, it was just a giant rock and a white bud crushed under it."

She said that she was confused.

I'm her guide, so I'm not in the wrong place.

Then that tree...

"Did yesterday's buds grow overnight?

"Too fantastic."

"But in the desert, if it rains a little, there are plants that can bloom all at once."

"Is that what this is about...?

"Why don't you come closer?

Follow Amy's suggestion and approach Daiki carefully.

When you come under the tree, you realize its size.

The branches, stretched like mushroom umbrellas, shine as blue, reflecting the bright sunlight.

The shade is cool and pleasant.

"Hey, White Moon, what's going on?

The white moon that stuck perfectly under her feet suddenly ran out and circled around the white trees.

After he had seen something, he lay on his back at the root of it.

I know something, but I don't know yet.

In the meantime, we decided that it was unlikely to be dangerous, and approached the white moon.

The tree resembles the monkey pod on Oahu, but its trunk is surprisingly white.

The second most important resource location candidate has been confirmed.

Detailed exploration will be carried out by the communications surveillance satellite group Tsukuyomi.

"Investigators nearby, take evasive action."

"Ha? Ha!?

The moment you touch the white trunk, a loud alert sounds.

White Moon stood up in surprise and came to me.

"Reggie, what is this!?

"I don't know. I was told to avoid it."

"For now, everyone, get away from the trees!

Amy screams, and we turn around and run.

Shortly afterwards, a white light band appeared from beyond the sky, illuminating the white tree.

"What is that!?

"Maybe he's the one who's exploring the details of Tsukuyomi."

Five more rays descend and surround the white tree.

The light, which surrounded the white tree like a lattice, slowly spinned up and began to flash over and over again.

Hey, White Moon, calm down.

The white moon sharply peeled its teeth and lowered its head before it could even jump.

I don't even know what happens when I get into that light, so I'll hold it down desperately.

"Maybe I shouldn't do anything wrong. Calm down."

Slowly stroke your back and teach.

The pillars of light gradually faded thinner and thinner as the low roaring white moon regained its calm and tenderness.

We have completed detailed exploration of the second most important resource location candidates

"Check the high-concentration energy line"

"Second most important resource location candidate certified as a point < Rayline >"

"Examine resource supply availability through Takamagahara's territory expansion protocol."

"Ground Vanguard Base Seed 02 - Formulated the Throw and Deployment Plan for Thanoo"

"Running in three hours on planet Izanami Standard Time."

I can't catch up with the announcements that keep flowing.

What I discovered was that the Recruiting Command ship Amateras had certified that the location where the tree was rooted was the point < Rayline >.

Three hours from now, a Susanoo element called seed 02 will be dropped here.

"Oh, come on.

"It's a case of becoming a crater in the surrounding area!

Letty screamed in dismay.

Seed 02 is a Susanoo species.

The Susanoo that currently serves as our base is Seed 01, the first Susanoo to be dropped on Isanami.

If the announcement is correct, the area will turn into the second Susanoo.

Even if the town itself does not come down, a severe shock is expected.

"Well, shouldn't we just run away?

"But...."

I see a standing white tree.

The small sprouts crushed by the big rock grew surprisingly overnight.

And it's still filled with vibrant life all the way to the end of the branch leaf.

― ― What happens if seed 02 is dropped?

"White Moon"

I saw the deer under my feet.

The stranger who came to me and led me here probably doesn't understand the announcement.

If we knew that a huge iron mass was coming down here, what would it look like?

Letty, Lacto, Amy, Hippocampus.

I look back and call the four names standing there.

Feeling their gaze gathering, they said the following words.

I want to protect that tree.

I know it's reckless.

I haven't decided on a plan yet.

But something whispered that it had to be.

"I understand."

"... eh"

Letty nodded.

I'm more surprised at the way you react when you're not too smart.

Then they laughed and nodded together to see what was wrong.

"Well, that's what Reggie would have said."

"That tree looks obvious. I think there's something different about defeating him."

"I don't know how far I can go, but I agree."

"I'll do my best to help you."

I don't know what to say myself, but it's a story with no flashbacks.

They don't have anything in mind for that tree.

Normally speaking, it's normal to go back to Susano now and come back three hours later to see how things are going.

That's why I'm glad they're following me.

"- Thank you, really."

"It smells like water. I'm with Letty and Reggie."

"That's right. I need you to rely more on me."

"We need to gather some information for now. We don't have much time."

I accidentally wiped my eyes and nodded.

So we hurried to three hours after the moment.
