Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

After earning Research Points in Tier 16, Lacto and I will take the elevator back to the first floor lobby.

Ledge, you've earned research points to the third chamber in a short amount of time.

"I originally earned a little extra." It's going to take a lot of points to get to the fourth chamber, so I'm going to be worried. "

I got to the third chamber, and Lact got to the second chamber. Now you can earn points a little more efficiently.

It's mentally easier to waste time with a knowledgeable companion than to work alone in silence. The same is true of Lacto, which promises to do research with him again.

Due to the sense of accomplishment of gaining access to the chamber, Lacto was happily shaking in the elevator.

The elevator stops and the door opens slowly.

"That's right, letty's been waiting a long time." Bad things-- "

Ledge! Please help me!

"Gwahhh!?"

When I stepped out of the elevator, a silver shadow flying like a bullet crashed into my lower abdomen.

The blue-faced Wade was clinging to his hips as he lowered his gaze as the frame stood up to the distorted impact.

"Ugh, Wade!? What are you envious of? Do something bold!"

The lacto was stunned by the sudden developments.

I don't know what the situation is, but the players in the lobby pierced their gazes all at once, rather like a needle.

It's tough, Ledge. It's a botanical garden crisis!

"Calm down. What the hell happened?"

I put my hand on Wade's shoulder, which trembles as I saw it, even if it was scary. I didn't expect her to be disturbed by this, even if she always settles calmly. Moreover, it is said that there is a crisis in the botanical garden.

But the siren wasn't ringing, and even if I looked around, it didn 't--

"This hamburger is also delicious. I can't believe the patties inside are vegetal. It seems to be half a calorie, so it's okay to eat twice as much.”

"Oh dear, this pasta is also delicious. I think I'll order a little more."

There was a change.

"What are you doing, Letty?"... is that light? "

There is a cafeteria in the lobby of the botanical garden. Rarely found in buildings with white, inorganic interiors, they're decorated with greenery and wood. In the name of easing research fatigue, it also offers dishes made with plant-based ingredients that have emerged as by-products of research.

In the corner of the cafeteria was a table literally loaded with dishes that looked like mountains. They were headed for Letty and the Light.

Without a word, it is a light that holds an inexhaustible stomach bag as well as a large food-like letty. Their overwhelming appetite makes food disappear one after another.

It seemed like the same cannibalism and morale would be good, and the chatting would be good.

"Please stop both of you. In that case, the cafeteria will be out of stock."

"Yeah..."

Wade pushed her back towards the cafeteria.

Although virtual reality can produce virtually infinite supplies, FPOs are selling reality. Therefore, although it is practically infinite, the limit of inventory has been set. Especially in unique shops, it is not uncommon to run out of items, and even in baseline shops, if you buy large quantities of items at once, they will temporarily become unavailable.

In addition, because the economic system is being built, mass selling cannot be carried out if the buyer's bit is exhausted.

The only exception is when an emergency special measure is triggered.

Anyway, it's true that both Letty and Light are about to eat up the cafeteria stock.

"Lettie, let the light go." Wade's crying. "

"Mogu. Ah, Mr. Ledge!"

"Hello, Mr. Ledge."

With Wade clinging to her waist, she called out to Letty and the light. After the two of them noticed us, they wiped their mouths with two or three mouths, eating a bucket-sized hamburger and a bucket-sized Neapolitan.

Absolutely, it's really good to eat.

I'm bored because Ledge-san came home late.

I enjoyed talking to Letty properly.

"I'm sorry about that." When I met Lacto inside, we studied together. "

I said, looking at the lacto standing next to me. She laid her hands on her hips and looked at Letty and the others with horrified eyes.

"Hmm, was it just you and Lacto..."

No, I didn't do anything wrong!

Letty's eyes narrowed, and for some reason Lacto rushed out. The light was joyfully watching the two of them.

For now, it looks like we're both calm.

Good, really good.... should we increase the production of ingredients a little bit in the future? ”

Lettie and the others stopped eating, and Wade finally relaxed. I am considering it with a serious face, but I don't think it is necessary to do that. Lettie and the others don't go here on a busy schedule.

By the way, why is the light here?

Thinking that far, I noticed.

I didn't understand why the light was here.

"It's Momiji-san's escort. She said she might be able to develop a new drug."

I see. Did she have the Dispensing Skill?

I feel comfortable with the explanation.

Momiji, a member of the Light Party, is a thrower who creates poison and ampoules with his < dispensing > skill and uses them to provide support. The Botanical Gardens Research Point is perfect for her, as it also provides botanical poison and more.

Well, when you say she's here...

"Hey, Ledge."

I knew there was a maple, too.

He was slapped on the shoulder and looked back. There stood a dark-haired young man with a good smile, a maple.

He and Momiji are real couples, and we know that their two children are Toka and Mikage.

Did you agree to marry my daughter?

At the end of the opening, Maple's words clog his throat.

He's been pressing for Toka's marriage ever since that “Azure Sea Showdown.” I thought I politely declined, but I said, "Isn't my daughter so attractive?” and so on.

If Toka himself was there, he would knock me off without asking questions, but this time it won't be.

"I told you that I would take the matter home for consideration once..."

"How much do you take home?" You won't even be in the warehouse anymore, will you? "

Every time my face meets my face, I feel a little wobbly, but I don't have any glitch. Now I'm a little uncomfortable with him.

"Oniichan, are you troubling Mr. Ledge again?"

"Ahh, Momiji..."

I can help you there.

Momiji, who came out of the door of the first chamber of the first hierarchy, grabbed the chest of the maple with an angry smile. Type - Golem's girlfriend grabs the Type - Humanoid Maple and he leaves the floor.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ledge."

"No, well, it's the usual."

Momiji lowers her head instead of her husband. On the contrary, it was a well-done wife, to the extent that we were sorry.

Well, in virtual reality (this way), it seems to be Maple's sister.

"Momiji was doing some research, right? How did it go?"

I talk to Momiji to get off the point. She opened her mouth with an embarrassed eyebrow, choking the maple.

"It's quite difficult, isn't it? I managed to get 1-3 permission to enter and I just came back."

1-3 is a generic term for the first and second chambers of the first hierarchy. If you follow these rules, the place I just got to is 16-3.

She has only just begun, and she must have tried it this time.

"But [cultivation] I appreciate you getting the venom even without your skills." Thanks to Ledge and Wade. ”

No, I didn't do anything in particular, though.

Momiji says with a smile. Wade looked at it with a complicated expression.

There are also many poisons and medicines that can only be obtained through the < Cultivation > skill in the Research Point Redemption List. Many pharmacists, like Momiji, help by simply solving a puzzle.

"Speaking of which, where's Hu Chan?" I can't see you, though. "

Lact looks around and tilts his neck.

Certainly, it was unusual for all the maples to be without a party member.

"She's also doing research." I want ingredients such as vegetables and plant-based synthetic meat. "

“I see. Is the cook in demand too?”

The exchange list also includes ingredients from the cafeteria. There are few animal products, but they are popular for their healthy ingredients.

"But Fu-chan also said that she would come back when she went to 1-3..."

I looked at the 1-1 entrance with anxiety.

It was then.

Warning, an abnormality has occurred in the third chamber of the first tier

Shut off the first, second, third, and fourth chambers of the first tier

The ceiling lamp shone red, and a gruesome siren rang. Wade, who was next to me, jumped up his shoulder and hugged me on my waist.

"Wade, this is..."

There was a confinement violation in the third chamber. The procedure has already been performed. "

The players who seemed to be panicking through the door of 1-1 rushed out. In contrast to their desperate form, the players who were laughing in the lobby and relaxing in the cafeteria seemed unaware.

Everyone is so calm.

Well, it's a daily tea routine.

Lact replied with a bitter smile to Letty in astonishment.

Sirens and bulkheads were common in this botanical garden. Therefore, as long as there is no imminent crisis for the player, the player is not distracted.

Most of the people who ran away from the chamber were relieved when they reached the lobby.

"Houwachi! Houwachi!" And your tail is burning! "

"Fuu!?"

However, some new players are not yet used to the scene and are panicking. One of them was a girl with a cat-type lycanthropy with a familiar tiger pattern.

Momiji rolls her eyes and calls her name. Then he unexpectedly let go of the hand that was grabbing the maple, and heard a voice like a crushed frog, and no one noticed it.

Fuu ran towards me with tears, holding a fluffy tail.

"Momiji-chan! Is your tail burning?" Am I alive? "

“It's okay, I'm fine with the fur.”

Momiji gently stroked the trembling fu to calm her down. There seemed to be a disturbance between the two of them, not so much Maple, Momiji, and Hu, but it seemed that there was no discernment.

"Ugh... that puzzle is too shivian." I can't believe it blew up in one mistake. "

Apparently, she failed her research into the custody violation. The expression on Fuu's nasally snorting face was regrettable.

If you have a complaint, tell the developer. We're just doing the storage business. "

"Yeah..."

Wade turns around my back, stands up like a shield, and just puts his face out. Of course, I cultivated the "Guren Winged Flower" in 1-3, but... Is it okay for the supervisor to say that?

"Ah, Mr. Ledge. How can I help you? We've all got Mr. Hikaru, so why don't we all go hunting a little?" Somehow, I've never seen you fight before, so I was curious. "

Letty raised her hand while Momiji consoled Fu, who was staggering. Maybe it's just to distract Fu from his depressed feelings.

Anyway, I don't know much about any battles other than Maple - Maple's own battles against Enemies. I was also interested because I didn't often see him fight the "Fresh Flower Demon Tree" that was eroding.

Fine, but I hope the maples are okay.

Of course it's okay. Shouldn't we get closer to Yoko?

"I'll tell you what I didn't hear in the second half..."

The rising maple nodded with a smile. "I don't really know why you're trying to stick me up so hard..."

"Oh, let's show Letty what I can do!" I'm looking forward to it ".

"Ugh..."

In response to the exciting light, Letty frowned with a slightly complicated face. According to my sharp instincts, they're friends who know their faces, even in real life. Because I was a friend of Leah's, I was embarrassed.

"Before I do that, can I redeem my items for Research Points?"

Me too. I've managed to get the points for the objective.

Alright, let's get everything ready and get back together.

She nods and presents the policy to the mommies who tend to raise their hands reluctantly. We decided to leave the Botanical Garden once we were ready to fight.

Bye, Wade.

Please don't bring anything weird anymore.

"I'm not bringing anything weird."

I waved my hand at Wade, who was sadly dropping me off, and I broke up with her. Next time, I'll bring in the plants growing on the farm when they're done growing.

"Huhhh!?"

As you leave, listen to the screams made by Fu, who was exchanging research points.

"Hey, all the food items are out of stock..."

Fufu slumped out of his lap.

"There were a lot of requests at the cafeteria, so all the ingredients were transferred to you. Please be patient while we restock."

"I-I don't know..."

Wade explains the situation and Hu opens his mouth with a sad face. His ears were prone and he looked pathetic.

"Oh, that's tough."

"Yes, I wonder whose fault it is."

Lettie looked at the culprit with an awkward expression. When Lacto poked at her flank, she choked her words.
