Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

As Mapes acquired the skills of [Horned Horse Hill], the team set out for Seed 03 - Susano [Sakao], a ground base in [Horned Horse Hill]. There were several paths from Wade to Sakao, but the maples chose the fastest route across the fourth sector.

"Ah, it's hot..."

It doesn't work on the sand.

From the "Waterfall of Armored Fish" to the "Cliff of the Song Dragon" that extends eastward from the Onokoro Highlands. Crusade against the boss "Steel Scales" and aim for the "Horned Horse Hill" in the south.

Along the way, Fu was relaxed by the rapidly changing climate.

Is Lycan slope vulnerable to heat?

"There's a lot of hair." If you don't blow your head off, you'll get a cage full of hot air. "

Fuu pushes his fingers into his orange hair, letting the heat escape inside. Even so, it seemed that it was only a rush, and she ducked her ears and drooped her tail without strength.

“If you go into the hills, the heat will calm down, so let's do our best.”

"Right, I'll just drink some water and walk."

Encouraged by Momiji, Hu drinks water from a water bottle on his waist.

Not as much as the [Wilderness of Poison Bugs] in the Third Oriental Region, but the [Cliff of the Song Dragon] also quickly dried up its throat due to the shining sunlight.

Since the maples had replenished their drinking water with plenty of cacao, they kept walking along the cliffs while rehydrating frequently.

Why is the climate so different in such a narrow altitude?

Fu slanted his head as he stirred his face with his fan.

Although the Onokoro Highlands are vast, they are divided into 13 fields, so each area is not that large. However, due to the abundance of water resources in the west, the muddy lake swamp area expands, and if you think about it, the east changes rapidly into a dry desert area. The west is relatively calm, but there are also desolate wildernesses in the second region. The snow-capped mountains toward the north are frequented by snowstorms.

Whatever it is, it seems that the effect of the dragon vein running underground (Rayline) is strong.

Dragon vein, huh?

When Momiji reveals the knowledge he has heard, the maple leans its neck with confused eyes.

Outside Onokoro Island, in the front line called the second reclamation area beyond the sea, its dragon vein (layline) seems to appear as an important factor, but there is little awareness around here.

"[Spirit] skills and tri-skill skills seem to have a strong relationship with the Dragon Vein. Can I do a lot of research?"

I guess that's the way it is.

Momiji's suggestion was met with a discouraged voice from the maple. For his part, it would be nice to have new means of attack. I thought it would be good to use my head after I felt the need to do so.

Oh, that's the boundary of the field, isn't it?

“Really. You look pretty clear.”

The light raises its face and points forward.

There, dry sandy plains were mixed with lush meadows, creating rough boundaries. From a distance, there was a fairly clear difference, and the sign of the thin pillar stood on the line.

"Horned Horse Hill." It's finally time to do it. "

Crossing this line of signs officially changes the field. Other than that, there has been no particular change.

Incidentally, if you have not defeated the boss of the field and do not have access, you will be blocked at this sign location.

Anyway, the maples continued to walk smoothly and finally stepped into the field they were aiming for.

"Was Sakao in the middle of the field?"

"That's right. I still need to walk a little, but it's getting pretty cool and I can do my best."

As you cross the line, the heat gradually subsides. Huu also regained his vitality with each step, and eventually his ears began to stand upright.

Lycan slope is easy to understand.

Huh, what happened?

Looking at her tail and ears, which move amusingly, the maple bursts out unintentionally. Those moves seemed to have nothing to do with Hu's intentions, and she tilted her head in bewilderment.

"Oniichan, I see you."

Climbing to the top of a gentle hill, Momiji raises his voice as he looks around.

< Horned Horse Hill > has little shelter and can be seen from a distance by standing a little high. There was a city shadow in the distance among the native creatures that ate the rich low grass.

Most of the protozoa that operate on the hillsides during the day have a warm temper. The maples did not actively engage in combat, but walked straight to the town.

This is it!

The light cheers as it passes through the large gates of the city walls and looks at the townscape that extends through them.

It was lined with old-fashioned wooden tiles and oozing with Japanese colors, and the wide streets exposed to the soil were crowded with people.

I heard it was a Japanese-style town, but I don't think so.

It's like a town coming out of an era play.

Wade is a Western style, Cacao is a Middle Eastern style, and the landscape here is familiar to the maples. The feeling of the party that saw it was exhilarating.

It looks like there are many people who wear kimonos without a heart.

"On the contrary, the skeleton is quite noticeable."

The maples walk out to look around the city for the moment.

Because there are many buildings with one or two floors, the sky is wide and it has an open atmosphere. The near future visuals of the tall control tower standing in the center of the town and the central control area are quite different.

I see. Surely you like Migage-kun.

Fu shrugged his words as he kept his eyes on the surrounding area.

She read Ledge's diary and knew that Miguel was frequenting the town. Above all, this town is also known as the home of the Sanjutsu League, a non-band organization he put together.

Fuu looks sharply to see if there are any ninjas in the traffic.

"The Japanese style townscape is also good." I'll try to redesign some of the mansion as well. "

The Japanese-style room and the curbside are nice, isn't it?

While walking side by side with the light, he fully enjoyed the atmosphere of Japan.

The maple felt that the scale of the conversation between the two was slightly different, but they did not pursue it deeply by just tilting their necks. Instead, we must first go to a certain facility to start the [Spiritual] skill.

Maple, can I have a word with you?

Hu opens the map and speaks to the maple that was looking for its destination.

What?

“There's something I want to go to. Is it okay to take another action from here?"

"Oh, that's fine." If so, we'll be free to do what we want. "

Hu was also interested in this town at a celebration in Wade. Remembering that, the maple nodded happily.

In the first place, we came to this town because of the maple trees. I suggest you do some sightseeing, because you don't have to let Momiji go out with you.

If that's the case, let's take a short stroll.

"Oh, then I'd love to join you."

Momiji liked the town quickly and opened the map in a good mood. I was going to follow the light to her, and I peered into the window from next to her.

"Well then, that's it." I'll call you when I'm done with my errands, but feel free to spend as much time as you like. Let's meet at the appropriate time. "

Thank you, Maple, and good luck.

“There are so many places you want to go, you won't have enough for a day.”

“It might be a good idea to stay for a few days.”

As a result, the four of them walked in different directions. Hu is an industrial parcel, and Momiji and Hikaru are commercial parcels.

"Now, how strong can you become with [Spirit Magic]...?"

And the maple went toward the center of the city with anticipation and anxiety.
