We have a level system in place for mankind.

We're back in business.Plant fields and paddy fields and collect petite potatoes and armored pigs in the food area.

"I'm tired of potatoes and armored pigs."

Kawai told me.

"You're a luxurious guy. Some of you can't eat a potato."

"Yes, but sometimes I want to eat steak."

"Beef is precious now."

Some people kept cattle, but most of the feed was imported from abroad.It seems that most cattle were slaughtered and eaten because they could not be imported.

I wonder if there's any cows in the food area.

Kawai told me, Misaki taught me.

"I've heard from prefectural officials that there are cattle called flame cattle in the food area."

Kawai sees Misaki with his own eyes.

"Fire cow? Is that really a cow?"

"The person who ate the meat said it was beef."

"All right, let's go hunt that flaming cow."

I agreed because I dared not do anything.

We moved from the park transfer dome to the food area, and we headed south.Reach the mountain that defeated Red Saurus.I searched the area.

"Oh, this stone belongs to Fujimori."

I found a place where the red stones held by Fujimori were layered.I'll pick up the red stone. It is heavy with zigzag.

"If you look at the formation, is it like coal?"

As I tilt my neck, Elena will come by and observe the red stone formation.

"It really looks like coal. Does this burn?"

Elena is tilting her neck.

"I don't know. Let's try it."

I threw a red stone on the ground and used 'Flame Manipulation' to create a flame on the red stone.As a result, the red stone did not burn.

"It's not like coal. What is it?"

"Is there any way to find out?"

Elena told me that there was something about the food area in the list of skills she got from Fujimori."Beginner knowledge (food area) " "Intermediate knowledge (food area) " "Advanced knowledge (food area) ".

When I told everyone about the knowledge and skills, I decided that I should just try "beginner knowledge (food area)".

I acquired "beginner knowledge (food area)".Knowledge of the food area flows into my head.Among them was a map of the food area.However, I have mapped a range of about 80 kilometers from the center of the food area I have visited.

Among them were stone circles connected to the transfer dome of Jesus city and stone circles connected to Tazaki city.

We also found information about the red stone.It seems that the red stone is called "Red Thunderstone".It is said that when certain conditions are met, it has the property of emitting electricity stored inside.

Is it because it is a beginner's knowledge?No further details were available.Misaki, who heard about the red thunderbolt from me, began to think with a serious face.

"I don't care about the red thunderbolt. Let's go find the flamingo."

The river doesn't seem to care about red thunderbolts.

"Michihar, I'm thinking. Be quiet."

Misaki scolds me and the river wells fill me up.Seeing that, Elena and I laughed.

"Kojiro, don't you know anything about the Red Thunderstone?"

"Not at the moment, but if we look into it, we may be able to upgrade our skills in time."

We mined the red thunderbolt veins and dug out a lot of red thunderbolts and stuffed them in a shadow bag.I thought I'd take it back to Higashigami and check it out.

Then I started searching for flame cows.According to the map, there are grasslands to the south-east from the mountain where the red thunderbolt veins were found.I decided to look for it.

Misaki, do you think you can use red thunderbolt as a battery?

"I see. It depends on the amount of power stored in the Red Thunderstone.It's pointless if it's small, and it's an energy resource if it's huge. "

"If the power of the Red Thunderstone is enormous and the Red Thunderstone is stockpiled in large quantities, I wonder if we can return to the original world of convenience."

"I don't think electricity alone is possible.Japan imported a lot of oil and resources, so I'm sure it won't work unless we find a replacement. "

"Oh, the river."

I found a big river and raised my voice.There was only a curved line on the map, but it seemed to be a river.

Heading towards the river, there is something in the river.

Isn't that a cow?

The river raised its voice with joy.Bigger than a cow on Earth, it has a triangular mouth like a crow tengu.About a dozen such cows are eating grass in a herd.

"Is that a flame cow?"

Misaki leans her neck and asks.The river that heard it sharpened its mouth.

Misaki told me about the fire cow.

"I've never heard anything like this before."

"Is there no way to tell?"

"Fire cows, when attacked, blow fire out their mouths and fight back."

After I nodded, I turned to the river well.

Michihar, check it out.

"Kojiro should go."

"It's the right place. Michihar has the skills of 'shrinkage'.You're the fastest one to escape. "

The river looked bad, but approached the cow.When the cattle approached a distance of about ten meters, they stopped eating grass at once.

Cows gazing at Giroli and the river well.As the river well takes one more step, the cows approach the river well in a crowd.

"Oh, I remember seeing something."

I remembered "Dejav" and raised my voice.

Elena turned to me.

"What's wrong?"

"Alright, just like when the vineyards were crushed by pink mammoths."

Hee.

The cows blew fire from their mouths toward the river well.

Wow!

When the river wells scream, turn right and run away.

"Michiharu, it's called" Shrinkage! "

Did you hear that voice? The river vanished for an instant and appeared 50 meters away.The fire cows lost sight of the river well and stopped chasing.Apparently, fire cows don't have good eyesight.

The river is back.

"He's a flamethrower, I'm sure of it."

"Now, how do we hunt?"

Elena raised her hand.

"Should I aim with a bow from afar?"

Misaki nodded.

"That might be nice, but how do we get it back?"

"How about I shock you off with my shock waves?"

Everyone agrees, so Elena pulls out the brake bow and squeezes the nearby bow to keep it from being found by the flaming ox.

With great momentum, an arrow flew through the head of the fire cow outside.The flaming cow goes down.Seeing a fellow suddenly fall, the other fire cows look anxious.

And when I hit him lightly, he ran away.

Well done.

The river goes to the fire cow and drains blood.

Having achieved our purpose, we returned to Higashigami town and dismantled the flame cattle.Muto and the others will help me with this.The people of the town came together as we broke up in the riverbank.

"There's a weird cow in my mouth."

"But it's big."

"Mr. Kojiro, will you share this meat?"

A nearby aunt called out to Kojiro.

"Oh, I'll split it because I have so much meat.But get your stuff ready. "

"Okay, I'll bring the pot right away."

Some aunts headed home.This will spread the word about the flaming beef all over town.

We had a sukiyaki party at the log house after distributing the broken fire cow meat.The children of the nursery school rejoice, and the nursery aunt and the head of the school smile.

The flame beef was good enough to match the finest beef.Perhaps it would be better to hunt fire cows instead of armored pigs.
