We have a level system in place for mankind.
scene: 12 Higashikami-cho
Next to me, Elena gave a puffy, bright look and looked around the warehouse.
"I also have rice and flour, curry loo"
It was a small warehouse about four tatami. Inventories focusing on heavy groceries are being treated. There would be about 500 km of rice alone. If the flour is also combined, there is just enough for about ten humans to live for a year.
Having confirmed that amount, Elena is weeping with joy. I guess I'm struggling with food.
"But how do you carry it?
"I'll carry you."
"Is that okay?... Ah, it was Mr. Moki who discovered this place. Could you share some food?
"You can't eat all this food, so you can have as much as you want"
"Is it true? Thank you."
"By the way, where do I carry this food?
"I live in a nursery in Higashigami."
"Okay. Let's carry it there. But it starts tomorrow."
"Can't you do it today?
"My backpack is full."
I opened the backpack and showed him inside. I saw a tabletop stove or pan in it and Elena suggested it.
"Anything but food, put it here. What if we carry food?"
"Today, tomorrow, how many people need food?
"If you have ten people..."
I put a tabletop stove or pan in the warehouse and put a ten kilo rice bag in the backpack. Elena also fills her own backpack with bags of flour as much as she can.
Outside the warehouse, we tightened the fire doors.
"Show me to the nursery"
Elena and I started walking side by side. After a short walk, Inuyama-cho realized that there were many goblins.
"Why do you keep goblins?
'Cause this is the little ghost district.'
He also changed the name of the land on the day the beast appeared in Japan. He said Inuyama Town became known as the Little Ghost District, Tennoji Town as the Beastman District, and Nishikyo Town as the Strange Beast District.
"Is Goblin the only inhabitant of the Little Ghost District?
"No, there are Badlats and Magnevbirds. But compared to goblins, the numbers seem small."
I ran into one goblin. I took out the throwing knife and threw the blade tip between my fingers. A half-rotated knife in the air stops the stabbing breath root as it is sucked into the goblin's chest.
Elena looks surprised.
"That's amazing. If I were you, I would have killed Goblin."
"I trained my skills on the island."
Elena tilted her neck.
"What do you mean, you've built your skills?
I didn't know what Elena was wondering. I hear people here are using their skill points to raise their skill levels.
"Just give me a minute. How do we get that skill level up?
"What, you don't know? You can do it on the status screen."
If you ask me in more detail, when I pop up the Skill Selection List screen on the status screen and think of moving it to the left, I seem to get a list of skills that I can increase my skill level.
"And I didn't know"
Elena gave me a frightened face.
"So, how did you get your skill level up?"
"Skill levels rise in practice and action. I thought that's how the others were raising it."
"That'll take time, won't it?"
"Yes, but it will save you skill points"
"Doesn't Moki have a lot of skills?
"I have a lot of things, but I don't know if you're a lot of them. Because I've never been compared to anyone else."
"My individual level is' 02 'so I only have four skills"
The number of places labeled [level] in the status is apparently called the individual level.
"Heh, my individual level is' 20 'and my skills are one or three"
"That's amazing. But you shouldn't tell others much about your individual level."
"But Elena taught you first."
"My individual level is low, so even so, they just laugh at me with my nose. But Mr. Moki is amazing. I think they'll alert you."
"Is that what it is? I'll be careful now."
By the time I got through Little Ghost District, I took down four goblins. Goblins are a dark attribute, so that heart stone is appreciated.
I see the East Sand River up ahead. Cross the Shimojo Bridge and enter Higashigami. The Lower Bar Bridge raised its voice closer.
"What, that?
"It's a fortress to keep the beasts away."
A wall is built in front of the Lower Bar Bridge. Built to surround the base of the bridge, the walls look like thick reinforced concrete walls. It really looks like a fort.
Elena knocked on the steel door at the edge of the fort.
"Who?
It's Elena from the Great River Nursery.
The heavy-looking door opened giggly. Me and Elena go inside. The interior of the fort was just a murderous landscaped space with a roof. This fort seems to be guarded by three men.
"Hey, who's that guy over there?
A man on guard at the fort asked Elena. The man on the lookout is said to be Guichi Sakuma. He is about forty years old and has a disappointing physique.
"It's Mr. Masaki from Nishikyo-cho. I've been living on the island for the last six months, and I just got back."
"Uh, an island? Were there creatures on that island, too?
I nodded. And I told him about Lizardman and Minotaur. He found out that there would also be strange beasts in places like the island, and he looked disappointed.
"So there was food?
"Yes, this is for Sakuma and the others."
Elena gave Sakuma two bags of flour. Instead of defending the fort, they're getting food divided up by people who went outside looking for food. Elena seems grateful to Sakuma and the others who are preventing the goblins from breaking in, although that is not the kind of rule that is set.
Sakuma and the others were delighted to see the flour.
"Flour? It's been a while since I've had bread."
I crossed the Shimojo Bridge and entered Higashigami Town. This town is an area left over from development. Where the central residential area is located, the Great River Nursery is said to be located.
Apart from residential areas, this town had become agricultural land. Near residential areas there are many fields and orchards, and near the mountains on the east side there are many paddies. There is also a fishing port near the coast, where fishing vessels are connected. But they can't go fishing without fuel.
The Great River Nursery was not a very large facility. About ten children were playing in the nursery yard. There was an aunt childcare worker named Nakaen alone, who took care of the children.
"Dr. Elena."
The toddlers come running over. Soon, Elena was surrounded by toddlers. Looks popular.
"Uncle, is that it?
I was hurt by a question posed by one of the toddlers. I'm not old enough to be called my uncle.
Elena rushes to introduce.
"This brother is Mr. Kozillow."
A toddler looked at me,
"Cozillow"
That's what I called it. Elena looks like she's in trouble. I laughed because it was crazy.
"What's your name?
"Colletica, five years old"
"That's great. Can you tell me how old you are?"
Coletica laughed nicely. I came here to relieve myself of something. When I saw the sight of Nishikyo Town becoming a ghost town, I wondered if the last of mankind had come. But it looks like he survived here.
