Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 179: Count the Shrines

"Hey, Reggie! It's been a few days."

When we got off at Yatagaras' Horse Hills Station, we were greeted by Luna and Mav's combo, which was waiting for us.

When I asked her where she was at TEL while riding Yata Glass, she came all the way to pick me up because she was just near the portal.

She opened her orange eyes full with a fantastic outfit with light armor and a short skirt, a leather glove and a silver pistol on her waist belt, as never before.

"Oh, how are you?"

Asked as she got off the yata glass, she raised her eyebrows slightly troublesome and kicked the ground with the toes of her boots.

"I don't think it's very sweet. Some people say I'm a solo player, but there may not be many people who come to the meadow in the first place."

"Wade in the waterfall and Amatumara in the spiritual peak, and Astra (Silver Wings) are active on the cliffs like no other. Maybe the grasslands are getting a little thinner in that sense."

"Ahahah. Letty's right. The atmosphere itself is almost calm."

Letty's calm analysis was also taken with a smile, and Luna looked at the calm wind-blown grasslands behind her.

This was a field where small horses, cats, rats, buffaloes and other animals inhabited.

Instead, compared to the other three fields, there is a flat land, soft grass growing there, and a stable, pleasant, warm climate that lacks topographic interest.

"Isn't it easy to find a shrine with such a good view?

As proof of the words of Lacto, I was able to find some shadows of the shrine in the distance without leaving the Yata glass portal.

Speaking of things that obstruct sight, it is as thick as grass under the feet, and it can also hide cats and mice, but it is not enough to hide “shrines”.

"How far has Luna gone?

Um, I wonder if the 24th jewel is the top.

Luna answers Toka's question by checking the jewels in her inventory.

It's nearly twice the number of jewels we have.

It was obvious that Luna was a fairly good warrior, although no pure comparison could be made due to the relationship between the party and Solo.

"I think it's the upper echelons of those who are attacking the grasslands. But at the top, maybe 27."

"I see. So the percentage of the announcement you just made should be replaced with the number of the shrine."

"Maybe. Then there will be 100 shrines."

Luna says she's a little tired.

If you ask, she's already had about ten fights.

"When I went in as soon as I had my allowance, it was incredibly chopped. When the numbers went on for five consecutive years, my legs stopped a bit on the boulder."

"That's a lot of guts, but you can keep fighting."

She bends her lips to surprise Amy.

Hmm. As a matter of fact, I studied at Ledge and started to improve my camping skills. "

I see!

Excited by the appearance of unexpected comrades.

She stood nearby in a thin grass spot as she laughed like a child who had succeeded in teasing.

What I took out and held in front of my chest was a linen drawstring bag.

"But I'm not a weird guy like Reggie."

"Hee, weird...?

"No, Mr. Reggie's cabin is weird."

When she was stunned by Luna's words, Letty's cold voice pierced her heart.

I just want to provide a comfortable room in the field...

No, I guess not.

"Here, take a look." Setting up a campsite "

While thinking about the significance of the cabin, Luna showed me her tent.

It was in the form of a conical, so-called tippy tent that supported a water-repellent cloth with a single pole and several pegs.

She brings out more collapsible chairs and mini tables and burns them.

Orange light spreads to the dimming grasslands, with long, dark shadows stretching from below.

"Su, wow...."

"I put out a tent with my skills."

Skills can be like camping.

"Why, what a fresh sight!

"Oh, you guys...."

Letty shouted her praise with a slippage in her mouth.

It must be admitted that Luna's campsite is more campable.

"Isn't that amazing? If there were trees nearby, I could take a nap with a hammock on."

"That's good. It's like the outdoors."

"Reggie's is comfortable, but it doesn't feel like it's outdoors."

Luna invited Letty into her tent, or Lacto, who sat down in her chair and melted.

If you say so, I won't let you in anymore...

"But it's quite compact. It doesn't heal as well as Reggie."

Well... We value the weight and deployment speed of the tent set to minimize intimidation and healing effects. Besides, it's for one in the first place. "

Luna grabbed the sweet muffs and stroked the white hairs.

She's right, you don't need that much equipment just to act alone, and you have to be as light as you can, even if you have weight problems.

I was told that I could carry that hut because Letty would distribute the drop items from the hunt along the way.

"If you acquire the skill, you can use mechanical cows to alleviate the weight problem considerably."

"Hmm, I can't afford that kind of skill. And if you take a mechanical cow, it's going to slow you down a lot, right?

Letty nods at Luna, who is showing difficulty in colour, and usually operates mechanical cow calves.

"Machine cows are characterized by their strength and ability to trample somewhat impossible terrain. He's slow, and Letty doesn't usually take him with him."

"Then why not a mechanical horse? I don't have as much load as a mechanical cow, but instead, it's faster than walking."

"Machine horses... The one Nilma's got! If that's the case, I might want it."

Luna starts by opening a window to find out how much skill level she needs to operate.

Luna travels around with her muffs on a mechanical horse.

"Well, now you're not talking about my skill structure. Didn't the Reggies come to attack the shrine?

Remembering the point, Luna shakes her head and returns to the derailed story.

Well, there is one too. I wanted to ask Luna one thing before that. "

"What do you want to know?

"Oh, did Muff do anything unusual at this event?

In response to the question, she grabs her elbow and thinks.

Looks like he's digging back into his memories of the day and chasing Muff's shadow.

"Hmm, I can't think of anything in particular. Enter the shrine, fight together, come out and finish. If we win, we'll be happy together, and if we lose, we'll have a reflection together."

"Isn't that cute...?"

Luna lifted up her muff and said, "Letty holds her fist tightly.

Sure, the muffs are cute among the four priests.

"What did Shirozuki do?

Nod to Luna who answers the question.

Answer while stroking the white moon rubbing the tip of your nose on your hips.

"I found an unmarked hall called the Decayed Hall. So far, the only difference from a normal shrine is that it looks very weathered."

"I see. I didn't find anything like that."

This means that two things can be considered.

One is that there is no “decayed shrine” in the field other than the Armored Fish Falls.

The other is that there are “rotten shrines” in the other two fields, but all of them cannot be reached without the guidance of the White Moon.

"... maybe the second."

She looked up and sighed at the sky dyed in purple blue.

It seems that there are about 80 to 90 ordinary “shrines” in one field, so there are about 10 to 20 "rotten shrines”.

In total, there are up to 80 undiscovered “rotten shrines.”

Isn't it hard to find all of them, and look around for the white moon and me alone?

"Maybe we should gather around tomorrow at the Wings Pact."

"I'm free all the time during the event, so I'll be all right."

Say it while looking at the farthest star.

I would like to think of a solution that can reduce the burden at least a little.

"Mr. Reggie, you're not here tomorrow."

"I'm sorry. I think I'm going to work with Astra and the others."

"That's what you were planning to do. It's okay. Letty and I will do it properly."

"Thank you very much."

Join hands and worship Letty.

At that moment, I felt her ruby eyes glowing suspiciously.

Well then, why don't you hang out tonight?

Eh?

"We can't act together tomorrow. I'll do it today."

Eh?

He grabbed his arm and couldn't move.

"Ahahah. I'll see you tomorrow.... good luck"

Luna, who seemed troubled by the reaction, dropped us off into the meadow at night.

With Letty and Tart holding my arms, I felt like an alien being taken with me, and the long night had just begun.
