Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 445: Readiness to Take Soul

The grasslands of the beginning, overlooked by the central control tower of Susanoo, a tall silver pillar, were still blown by the gentle wind today.

Running investigators in white beginners' gear and simple weapons are working to level up their skills against rats and chickens.

Well, let's start around here.

Pick a corner of the field where other players won't get in the way, and I'll put up a tent.

It is a “scale cloud” that puts practicality first.

With this, even if you get pinched, you'll be safe as long as you rush in here right away.

"Well, I don't think I'm gonna make it either...."

When I finish deploying my tent, I turn my gaze to the girl standing in the middle of the meadow.

"Come on, Camille, let's do our best. It's got letty on it."

"If you're about to get attacked, I'll blow you up right away."

Letty and the others are surrounded by Camille, who is holding his spear firmly in both hands and stiffening his body with tension.

This field is no match for wearing tight-force defenses that are common on the front lines of the offensive, and holding a meaningful planetary jab or shield fist in your hand.

In the first place, given their BB value and level of combat skill, even if they use Basic Series weapons, they will definitely be able to overkill with a single hit.

"Camille, you have a trusted guardian, and you don't have to be too upset."

Well, I know. Even this much..... "

That's how Camille swings his spear.

Type - Sized to fit Fairy's back, much shorter than mine, but she seems a little overweight.

"Mikage, bring me here."

Roger that.

Determine the interception point is ready and send a telegram to the distant lizard.

With a short response, a small shadow appears in the distance.

"Come on, Camille, it's coming."

The shadow gradually becomes larger and clearer.

It is a mykage dressed in a shinobu costume as a matter of course.

Behind him is a large chicken chasing him.

He spreads his brown feathers wide, sticks out his sharp mouth, and runs through the meadow with two legs.

"Cockbeek is stronger than a glass sweater, but instead it's big and easy to target.Hold on tight, set your sights. "

Don't mess with me. I'm concentrating!

Mikage runs loosely.

Whatever birds are good at running, they are no match for Mikage's handsome feet.

He also seems to be keeping the chicken to a pace that he won't give up.

"All right, mikage!"

"― Spider entanglement

Send a signal.

In a moment, the lizard flips over and rolls thin threads out of both hands.

It instantly entangles the whole body of the chicken and seals its movement.

If this happens, I won't be able to move my proud mouth.

The more the algae scratched, the tighter the thread bound, and eventually Cockbeak fell to the ground without strength.

"Camille"

Fu, fu...

Chickens fall defenselessly in front of Camille.

She looks down at it and shakes her eyes.

"Calm down. Point the spear at the tip."

"Hah... hah..."

She listens honestly to my instructions and points her spear.

However, the tip wobbles loosely and the aim is uncertain.

Me or Letty, she can't do it with a single blow.

In that case, the goal is to target the critical position of the prototype that sealed the movement and defeat it with a critical hit.

"Just stab me in the throat."

Ahh, ahh

The spear fluctuates a lot.

Camille wets her red eyes plenty and leaks vague words from her lips.

"No."

"─ Mash knuckle !"

Mikage's restraint is released over time.

Cockbeak, who had become free, scattered his feathers with Amy's iron fist.

"Hah, hah... ahh"

The subject to stab the spear disappears and Camille goes into the field to fall off his knees.

The expression was irritating, and we looked at each other.

"Camille, I'm sorry."

"... why are you apologizing?"

The usual tone of speech also slowed down momentum, and Camille said with a weak voice.

I gently stroke her red hair.

"I didn't think about Camille's feelings. I'm sorry."

I wanted Camille to learn enough to protect herself.

But I was so distracted that I forced her to carry a weapon.

For her, even if she is a chicken in the Grasslands of the Beginning, she is a powerful enemy that threatens her existence.

But that's why she can't resist killing herself.

Even if aptitude tests show that you're good at fighting, you can't kill mercilessly.

I was just a little surprised.Next time, I can kill myself. "

Camille stood up with his spear on his staff.

A little cheerfulness returned to the words, but the feet trembled slightly.

"Mr. Reggie, maybe Camille needs Letty and the others to protect him."

"Yes, Camille was originally a maid, so there's no need to fight."

Letty and the others look at us.

When I nodded at the words, a spear jumped in between us.

Don't talk about it on your own!Atashi was the best in combat tests. I can do it!

"No, it's okay. Camille has a role to play, and so do we.That's not true. "

Calms the fierce camel.

However, such behavior seemed to have touched the scale, and she shook her red hair and opened her mouth wide.

Because I can protect myself!Even if I go to a dangerous place, I won't bother the Ledgers. "

What a nuisance...

It's a nuisance. Even if it comes with clams, it can only feed on protozoans.

Camille blocks Letty's disagreement.

She and Susanoo, who are incapable of fighting, have nothing to do when they go into the field.

Naturally, the idea is that it will only be easier to find from protozoa.

"Camille, we don't think Camille is a nuisance.I wanted you to fight, if you can, but without it, we can do everything we can to protect you.I don't feel burdened with it. "

But......

"The reason I have a camera is to capture the beautiful landscape of this world.I want Camille to help me do that. "

She opens her eyes and looks at us.

She looked happy when she was out in the field.

I was impressed by the unknown world and the beautiful snowfields.

The footage of the video camera, which asked her to shoot, swayed with curiosity and captured countless beautiful things in the world.

I don't want to.

Eh?

Short denial voice.

An unexpected response sounds unexpectedly.

That's what she said to me, pointing her spear at the ground.

If I go to the field, I'll learn how to fight.I don't want you to keep me safe all the time. "

"Hmm...."

A girl shakes her head when she hates something she doesn't like.

For a different reason, we face each other again.

At that time, Toka, who was standing back, raised her hand.

"Um, can I have one? Camille couldn't stab him with a spear."

Her words choked Camille's breath.

"I'm not blaming her," said Toka, reassuring her with a smile.

"Perhaps you don't remember the repudiation of pointing a blade at the protozoa?"

After a while, Camille nodded to the question.

And quickly fold the words to explain.

I can't help it. I've never killed a living animal with meat or fish.

I see, I'm convinced.

Rather, it would be more normal to react like her.

Because we both know that this world is virtual reality, we can only attack without hesitation.

The basic feeling is different from her as an NPC.

"If the resistance to pointing the blade is the cause, why not change the weapon?"

"Hmm? You mean hammer?"

Tickle and Letty's ears buzz.

The toca goes on adding to it without worrying about it.

"The hammer is heavy, and it's hard to get around without being as stupid as Letty.Then another line of skills - the cane is the best. "

Toca says with her index finger pointing straight.

I was relieved by the words.

I see, a cane.

Cane is a weapon category that belongs to the Cane Magic skill.

Letty's hammer is a different kind of hammer.

In contrast to high thermal power, high weight, and high cost hammers, thermal power can be used instead of modest power, and LP consumption is low.

Rather than being a fighter, it was a type of weapon used by peddlers and others to defend themselves when moving the field.

"But who can teach you wands?"

Everything I have is handled by someone at the White Deer Monastery.

I chose it because it would be easier to teach Camille, but nobody uses the wand.

Then Letty will tell you.

"Eh!? Can you do that?"

I can't stand the surprise of Letty's sudden voice.

In response to my reaction, she swollen her cheeks.

"Hammer is also a cane skill, so you can handle it at least.I'm just not the main one. "

"Normally, I don't think I can handle another category of weapons first."

As a matter of course, Letty says, but not normally.

I usually use a spear that is classified as a spear, but even if I am given a spear suddenly, the change in time and weight is too large, and I am not confident that I can handle it properly.

In addition to the Dagger and Dagger, even if Toca was given a double sword, for example, she would shake her head sideways if she were asked if she could fight as much as usual.

"Well, I can trust Letty when it comes to fighting.I think I can teach Camille the basics, too. "

"Toca, are there any thorns in your words just now?"

"Haha. It's my fault."

Camille was stunned to hear a conversation taking place overhead.

I look at her and ask her what she thinks.

"How's Camille? Can you handle a cane instead of a spear?"

I don't know. But... I think it's easier to handle than a blade. "

Confused as she is, she nods firmly.

Then I'll fix the policy, too.

Well then, why don't you go back to town?

"Let's do that. I'll buy Letty a cane."

So we went back to town again.
