Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Light streaming in from the surface of the water colors the blue gradient through the ocean.

Fish such as horse mackerel and bakdanfugu swim freely around them, and when they realized our presence, they ran away.

Beautiful, isn't it?

"Oh, is that so?" I haven't changed my equipment..... "

I caught a lot of horse mackerel yesterday, but when I look underwater, it's completely different.

Ah, yes.

I stood in the window of the "rain" and looked into the sea.

The world that I hardly ever saw was full of very vivid light and color.

Letty, are there any abnormalities?

For now, only small fish are swimming around. Submersible gear is no problem. ”

Speak to Letty through the line.

She was swimming slowly out the window, her thumbs up looking at me.

I thought there might be a little more large protozoa, but it's just peace.

I'm a little scared that I can't see the bottom...

Amy and Chiffon, who swim with Lettie, look at what's going on in the ocean and give their honest thoughts.

The Knights' four divers seem to be accustomed to swimming firmly around the "rainstorm" without breaking down the formation.

Quiet time passes for a while.

The tent sank smoothly and the surroundings gradually darkened.

Step into a depth where the sun's rays can't reach.

"Deputy Commander, this is a report from the ship."

What's the matter?

Suddenly, Christina's voice came from the shared line.

She continues as Eye raises tension.

On that day, two maids of Mr. Ledge fell. Is it a coma? "

"Ahh..."

When I hear that, I unexpectedly put my hand on my forehead.

Kamil and T-1 are my maids.

Maiden can't be out in the field, but I'm using the [Maiden Summoning] technique of [Housework] skill.

Naturally, they can't get away from me, and if they do, the plane will stop functioning.

"I'm sorry, I just stopped working because I dived too deep." Why don't you put him to sleep in a safe place? "

When I tell you the truth, Christina nods in desperation.

"Don't get angry with Kamil and the others after this..."

"At least I'll take the souvenir home."

When I said it with a slightly clouded expression, Ai smiled bitterly.

“Ledge treats NPCs the same way he treats players. I don't think it's something you can do.

I see? From my point of view, Kamil and the T-1s are pretty much the same as the other players.

Sure, Kamil and the others are NPCs.

However, they are only classified as advanced NPCs, and they are equipped with high-performance AI, allowing them to communicate with normal humans without hue.

Especially since Kamil is the type who clearly says he doesn't like what he doesn't like, he probably feels more human.

I didn't really distinguish between NPC and PC.

But, well, I think that's good as well.

Really? Thank you.

I don't know, but I'd be glad if they praised me.

At this age, I don't have to say that I can be praised.

Ai-san, please remember that the line is open.

"Whoa!?"

All of a sudden, Letty's voice lowered and she looked out the window and saw that she was looking at us.

I'm surprised, so I want you to stop doing that.

"I know." It's important to share information. ”

"Fufufu... yes."

Eye and Letty laugh at each other as they gaze through the window.

They're both cute, so they're going to be paintings.

This is not the time to say this, right?

At that moment, Lettie moved her ears and looked around her.

Amy and the rest of the team put up their weapons and got ready to fight.

Check out the big fish shadow!

The Knights' diver reports through the line.

Is that a tadpole?

"No, it's a Vakshin tuna. Tch, the number is five." It's just a bunch of them!

“Destroy the tent while standing around so it doesn't get on the ray.”

I understand!

Under Aye's direction, the divers move.

They have fins on their feet and move gently.

Unlike on the ground, it's a three-dimensional space with added height, but it looks familiar.

Is that a Baksin tuna?

"Yes, it's a troublesome fish that won't stop until he dies."

From the darkness of the sea emerged a giant tuna, about three meters long.

As the name suggests, they are approaching us in a straight line.

"It's huge..."

I wonder how many people would eat sushi.

While saying that, Letty holds up her hammer.

Five tuna flew into the space in an instant.

Let's go!

Don't think you can beat me in the water!

Soon, the Knights flew to the tuna.

The tuna was rather surprised at the brave action of not quitting the frontal clash.

The divers pierced the hammer and wielded their swords.

I dealt with each tuna with a familiar look.

Lettie-san, I'll take care of one!

I'm in charge!

And then, one of the flocks that escaped from the four hands came to Letty.

The tuna's head looked so stiff that it would do a lot of damage just by biting its head.

Even Letty is wearing submersible gear and doesn't have as much defense as usual.

Shhhhh!

Don, the dull sound of passenger cars colliding with each other resounds.

Letty's hammer captured the front of the tuna in a brilliant way, striking at its best.

Thanks to your speed, you can slowly scrape the health of the bakshin tuna.

Furthermore, it seems that a state abnormality of stun is occurring, and the tuna is floating like a dead fish.

”Huh. You're weak. Let's beat the tuna."

Letty slammed her next shot into a defenseless tuna.

The first raid was easy to defeat.

"Uu, I want to dismantle it..."

If you jump out now, the water pressure will make you squeeze

Letty and the others easily retrieved the tuna that was floating in front of them.

I'll get more harvest, but I won't be able to jump out of my tent.

I've already come to a considerable depth, and without a wetsuit or [swimming] skill, I die the moment I step out of the water.

Even if it isn't, the water pressure won't open the tent door.

Lettie-san, isn't it time for your wetsuit to be hard?

”Hehe, there's absolutely plenty of room. It must be hard for Ai-san to catch her breath. I'll take your place."

Lettie and Eye looked at each other.

Letty and the others were probably new to the water, and they were looking out for me.

After all, when the deputy commander was impressed that he was in the first class of compassion, the diver raised his voice again.

Enemy shadow below. This time, it's quite big!

"Be alert. Tell us more."

I'm not sure because it's in the dark, but maybe there's just one. That said, it's so big...... ”

Maybe there's a ship up there.

The report is disturbing to the surroundings.

The research vessel we boarded was small in Knights' possession, but it was still a medium-sized vessel with more than 50 people on board.

Protozoa of that size are rare on Earth.

"Don't be alarmed. Be vigilant in all directions, not just downward."

Roger that.

At the behest of Ai, the guards guard the perimeter of the tent.

Everyone, put up your weapons and be nervous.

"I can't do anything from here, but my teeth are itchy."

“I can't help it. This is all.”

All we can do is watch Letty fight.

There was no way to attack, but I needed to keep it to the depths where Letty and the others couldn't follow me.

I wish I'd made an underwater drone.

Isn't it too niche to use?

But Neva would be happy to make it for you.

Unfortunately, DAF systems are currently only operational on the ground.

And it was difficult to make a new one because of my current circumstances.

Here it comes! It's right underneath!

There is a loud voice on the shared line.

At the same time, Letty and the others turned their attention to the bottom of their feet.

What's coming?

That's... cute!

At the same time as Letty's words, a huge shadow emerged from underneath.

The giant squid swaying its thick legs appeared to wipe out the "rainstorm."

I was able to make an appraisal. It's a palm squid!

"That's a name you won't ask..." Don't be alarmed. "

Names I don't even know.

In other words, this squid seems to be a new species.

For the time being, I'll smash one in.

It was Amy who was closest to us.

She lifted her shield fist and thrust it forcefully into the squid's forehead.

The red surface of the squid was greatly dented by the strong shock.

"What a shock..."

You're Amy the Rockmaker, aren't you?

The heavily struck palm squid blows out black smoke.

It enveloped the surrounding area, and my vision suddenly became worse.

With this, it's difficult to attack or dodge.

"It's okay."

Place your hand on the chewing eye's head and gently stroke it.

The black smoke was about to spread, and suddenly there was an explosion in the water.

Doraaaaaaaaaaa!

Lettie shouted out loud as she swung around the starry sky.

It exploded as it slammed into the squid's body, and the impact cleared the squid ink.

"Letty-san!? What an accuracy..."

"I like your ears." Even if my vision is slightly poor, I can attack without any problems. "

Lettie's onslaught cleared the smoke screen early.

The squid's torso swelled and turned bright red.

Tell Letty to continue!

Don't get caught in the explosion!

I have to cum too!

Letty breaks through the situation and the Knights follow.

The squid also swings its thick tentacles and doesn't hold them together.

Leave my feet to me!

It was the chiffon in the wetsuit that jumped in there.

She holds a bubble and a bubbling blade of fire in her hand and slashes the squid's tentacles.

The sound of burning flesh carries deep wounds on the red feet.

The other tentacles were approaching, but she gently dodged them.

"To be the first person I've seen standing around like that..."

"Amazing, isn't it?"

While Chiffon was distracted by the tentacles, Letty and the others surrounded her torso and attacked her.

The squid swelled rapidly and seemed to be accumulating stress.

“A change is emerging in the subject. Don't be alarmed."

Roger that. We'll keep as close as we can to take down them with our ranged moves.

At Aye's behest, the crew will keep their distance.

Lettie and the others took as long as they could to use long-range techniques.

It was then.

Oops! We're all defending!

Eye sharpened her voice.

The moment Letty and the others rolled up their bodies, the huge squid's torso burst.

"What?"

“A myriad of small protozoa have been released. Be careful!"

Leaving me amazed, Ai looks at the situation calmly.

The epidermis of the palm squid ruptured and countless small squid about 40 centimeters long jumped from underneath.

It jumped at Letty and wrapped its tentacles around its body.

Is it just a palm squid? Is there a resident?

“That's tricky, we can't afford to work together.”

Lettie and the others do their best to deal with the myriad of squid.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ledge, could you keep your ears down?"

"... I see."

At last, Eye makes her decision.

I squeeze my ears with both hands to block out as much noise as possible.

Looking at it, she stuffed air into her chest.

"--" The ravages of rampant barbarism (stambeat) ""

Sounds like a paper tear.

After that, you can't hear any sound.

The sound beyond the audible sound I could pick up from the robot doll came from the little girl's throat.

It pierces through the armor of the tent and spreads across the ocean.

The sound waves emitted in a spherical shape stunned all the squid that were entwined with Letty and the others.

"--Kahaha"

Ai!

The sound is interrupted and my hearing is restored.

I hurriedly hugged Ai as he curled up.

Perhaps the technique's recoil is leading to an incapacitating Debuff.

Letty!

"Ugi, your ears are ginning..." But it helped!

I can do it too!

I looked out the window in a hurry.

There was already a unilateral destruction there.

Lettie wields a hammer, Amy fists, and Chiffon wields a variety of weapons.

The group members also regained their positions and instantly dealt with the squid.

Thanks to Ai's support, the situation was suddenly reversed.

Thanks, Ai-san.

"That's good."

When Letty said thank you, Ai slowly opened her eyes and laughed.

She seemed to have stunned herself with her voice for a moment, but it seemed that there was no problem with the LP.

Deputy Commander, I'm a little nasty.

At that time, the regiment members shouted again.

Reflexively, while Letty and the others regained their combat readiness, a shadow floated on the bottom of the water.

"That's..."

"Here you are." Looks like we're in production from here. ”

What appeared was an alien centipede.

It wasn't just one or two.

Countless two-headed three-tailed ravens were swimming towards us with their sharp fangs.

"Have you been invited by Ai's voice, or have you noticed the smell of squid..."

“Either way, I'm not going to leave you alone.”

The number of bowls was increasing.

The surroundings are dark, and I can only rely on the lights.

Even in such a situation, Lettie and the others raised their intentions and looked at it with sharp eyes.

When we get back to land, we'll have a shark fin party.

That's great, I'll call the Knights' cook.

Ai and Letty talked lightly together.

Shortly after, we clashed with the herd of mackerel directly in front of us.
