Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

In the middle of a vast meadow, a boy in Japanese dress stands up. He looks around and identifies a cockbeak in the nearby grass.

"[Intimidation] -Haah!"

The boy raised his voice to show his presence.

Feeling hostile, Cockbeak interrupts his meal and raises a red chicken crown to snore the boy. He kicked the ground with his chunky legs, and when he jumped, he attacked him with sharp claws.

Guwa...

The boy is attacked by the cockbeaks with a motivated voice. Looking reluctant to avoid it, his LP can be scraped for about three millimeters.

"Please leave it to me, oniichan!" Throw it!

There, Momoji, who was hiding in the shade of a tree a short distance away, rushed out. She takes a slender bottle of medicine from the hip ampoule holder and throws it at the wounded maple.

Drawing a loose arc, the ampoule flew and hit the back of the maple and shattered.

The medicine soaked his body and his LP recovered.

"Well done! You're getting pretty good at throwing, too."

Fu who was watching it clapped his hands.

Momiji, who was able to safely heal the wounds of the maple, jumped happily.

If you threw this much at the boulder, your skills would have improved.

While cutting the cockbeak with a single sword, he says that the maple has no body and no lid. When Momiji heard that, he swelled his cheeks and shrugged his shoulders with a dazed look.

You can praise him even more like this

"Gu. Well, yeah, that was good pitching."

Wow!

Unable to withstand their gaze, the maple strokes Momiji's head. With that, Momiji got in a good mood and jumped again.

(Isn't your spirit being pulled by your appearance?)

A few hours after going out into the field, Momiji's throwing skills improved. However, Maple noticed that her appearance had become more appropriate than that.

Normally, as a wife and mother, she was a wonderful girl with no limit, but was there anything that she endured? Or maybe Maple didn't know that she was originally a charming personality.

For a different reason, she may have suddenly become physically different without being accustomed to the virtual reality environment, which may have caused her to be more strongly influenced.

"If you can throw this much, can you go to the next field?"

Momiji said as he peered at the maple flap between his eyebrows. Ever since she grasped the sensation of ampoule throwing, she was calling for her to move quickly to the [Forest of Beasts] to enter a full-scale hunt. But the maple didn't nod to it.

But Momiji isn't even equipped yet.

"That's why you're the rear guard, isn't it?" Even if it's a mechanic, it doesn't seem unusual for the tactical team to have zero [armed] skills. "

Fu stood beside Momiji against the reluctant maple.

In the first place, the party's funding is quite uncomfortable due to the cost of yesterday and the sudden participation of Momiji today. Ideally, I wanted to start a serious hunt and earn bits right away.

Later, we need to buy another "Blue Sheath Sword" for the maple, and also need funds to strengthen the two swords.

"Oniichan, I'm fine." Besides, the two of you will protect me, right? "

"That's true..." Hah, okay. Let's go to the woods. "

And the two of them shall say, The maple shall fall.

Shrugging his shoulders at the delightful girls, he turned to the [Forest of Beasts].

[Dispensing] You have to improve your skills, so if you have medicinal herbs, you have to collect them.

"If there is grass, appraise and collect it." It's a hassle at first, but I think you'll get used to it. ”

On the way to the forest, Momiji occasionally stops and mows the grass under her feet with a sickle.

Although the amount of effect of the ampoule is a certain amount even if there is no skill, since it is increased by the [dispensing] skill, she intended to train it as well. However, since the skills are classified as production, it is necessary to make drugs to increase the level. I couldn't afford to buy that material, so I was gathering skills while training them.

Hu also improved his culinary skills, so he had a few skills. As she taught her, Momiji gradually collected the medicinal herbs that were the source of the medicine.

"The liver of a protozoan is also used in [dispensing] skills." I'll take it without selling it next time. "

Thank you very much.

"Momiji-chan's [dispensing] skills are directly related to our resilience." I will spare no effort to help you. "

Fuuu is speaking to the maple that Maple brought in suddenly, rather than making a disgusting face. Momiji was totally sorry for her.

Maple thought he was watching from behind, like he was a real sister.

"Oniichan, it's time to go into the forest." It's exciting, isn't it? "

"Yeah? Oh, right. Be careful."

I know.

As the maple walks blurry, it reaches the western edge of the meadow, the entrance to the [Forest of Beasts].

Going forward, in the second area, the visibility is not as good as before, and the native organisms that live in the second area also have a higher standard.

Maple and Fu stand to protect Momiji, and walk more vigilantly than yesterday. Looking at the brightness of the two, Momiji also tied his mouth tightly and reached for the holder so that he could throw the ampoule at any time.

"The forest during the day is mostly walked by Forest Wolf alone. There are empty spaces everywhere, so Momiji, wait for me there. I'll catch the wolf."

“Okay, tell me as soon as you get hurt.”

"Yeah, I'll take care of that."

Walking among the trees, Maple explains how he fought in the woods.

As for the overall flow, it is not that different from yesterday. All the maples had to do was slap Fu and the wolves who had led us to the clearing.

However, perhaps with the addition of Momiji as a healer, the tension between the two of them is reduced slightly.

"Well, Momiji-chan looked at it with relief." My "Black Steel Type 45 Punching Chinese Hot Pot" will roar! "

Stretching out and rolling up the sleeves is a hu with a freshly-made Chinese pot. She's been struggling to see what new weapons are capable of.

While talking like that, the three came to one of the open spaces dotted in the woods.

"Then I'll go." Fuu, I need a bonfire. "

Okay, be careful.

The maple quickly moves into the woods alone, and the rest of the hu sets fire to it. Momiji looked at the situation with interest.

"What's the purpose of that kindling?"

"Avoid attracting protozoa." It's gonna be tough for us to get attacked by other wolves before Maple gets here. "

“I see. It will be a study.”

The fire immediately burns and the smoke rises.

At noon, though, it was dim in the woods with gloomy trees and branches. Momiji, who was unaware and anxious in her chest, calmed down a little after seeing the swaying flames.

"Fufufu. Momiji-chan can rest assured." Maple, you're so strong. "

"I know that." I've been watching it on my side for a long time. "

There is a real feeling in Momiji's words. She certainly has been watching him on her side for more than a decade.

Looking at her instantly, Huu's face instantly felt like he was poked into void. He immediately laughed and nodded.

"That's true, too." Excuse me. Let's just relax and wait for oniisan. "

Momiji sat on the fallen tree on the side, and Hu stood up a Chinese hot pot and looked around. Normally, it's time for the maple to come back.

Fu! Can you hear me?!

"Whoa!? Maple!?"

Suddenly, there was a maple voice in Fu's ear. It was a telephone call through a third-party line.

Hu looked toward Momiji in a hurry, and it seemed that her voice was coming.

“What's the matter, what's the problem?”

Speaking of problems, it's a problem. Rare Enemies got caught. "

Rare Enemies!?

Fu opened his eyes wide at the words spoken by the mouth of the maple. Momiji didn't seem to understand it very well, but she knew it was unusual from the two of them.

It was "Gunau of the Ancient Fangs". It might be tough to fight while protecting Momiji. "

It was a large, old Forest Wolf that appeared very rarely in the [Forest of Beasts]. As you can see from having a special name, its strength is unique. It has abnormally developed fangs, is always looking for prey, and is a ferocious individual during the day.

It's better to rearrange the divider. Huu took Momiji with her. "

Maple instructs Fu as he runs through the woods.

But his words were suddenly blocked.

I'll be fine!

Momiji!?

The Lord of Voices was an unmistakable Momiji.

She stands up and holds a small one-handed sword.

"I'm not sure, but Rare Enemies are strong money, right? In that case, you can hunt whatever I want."

Wait, then you're going to die!?

"It's a game, so it's okay." Don't look down on me too much. "

Momiji responded with a determined tone to the disturbed maple. Seeing this, Huu opens his mouth.

"Let's try it." Don't worry, we can win together. "

Ku...! Alright, don't complain even if you die.

"Of course, I won't let you two die!"

Momiji made a strong statement.

When I heard that, it seemed that the maple was determined.

After a while, Hu and Momiji felt something approaching. It rocks the trees and comes towards us violently.

"I'm coming...!"

Momiji grips the ampoule.

At that time, a brunette boy jumped out of the woods.

Fuu!

I'll take care of it!

Maple screams and Hu sets up a Chinese hot pot.

In front of her was Forest Wolf, many times larger than usual. The long fangs stick out of my mouth and saliva is constantly flowing.

"Gnaud's Ancient Fangs" roared, trembling with joy at the increase in prey to three.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A red-hot iron pan bottom is slammed against the guarded tip of his nose.

Gang, and the dog-like screaming, and the giant wolf beating. But that's not how it ends.

Maples pull out their swords and Hu holds the pot. Behind them, they are ready to throw ampules at any time.

The giant wolf slowly woke up as the three gazed at each other with caution.
