We have a level system in place for mankind.

When I came back to Yoshino House in Higashigami town, the sun was already setting.

"Yoshino."

There was still Yoshino's breath when Elena jumped into Yoshino's pillow. Next to it was a starry night with a blue face and Kato watching.

"Did you get the heart stone?

Elena took out the cardiac stone of the tree attribute and showed it to her doctor, Kato.

"Is something like that really going to be a drug?

"Just watch"

I held the heart stone in my hand and brought it over the glass. Therefore, the skills of "Cardiostone Processing" are used to produce medicinal sap from wood-attributed cardiostones.

There was a clear build-up of liquid in the glass. I took the glass and concentrated my consciousness on the liquid. The potency technique is used to impart detoxification effects to the medicinal sap. The liquid in the glass swayed and what was transparent stained pink.

"... strange"

Elena raised her voice as she shrugged. That gaze stares at the liquid in the glass.

Kato looks so surprised that he doesn't even have a voice. Didn't you think it was a trick at first? But there's no point in imitating Yoshino when he might die of poison. You must have felt that what happened in front of you was a force of skill.

"Doctor, let me take this detoxification potion. At least I guarantee it's not poisonous."

Kato received the glass I gave her. I hesitated a little bit and then gave Yoshino a drink.

The change was dramatic. Yoshino, whose complexion was bright blue and she was still breathing dying, returned to normal. Blood is returning to my face and my breath is stronger.

"Hey, is Grandpa gonna help?

Kato nods and checks Yoshino's pulse and breathing.

"Looks fine this time"

I got caught up in the word 'this time'. He explained to me that he would ask Kato that.

"This poison is still drifting in the air. People take in and accumulate in their bodies by breathing. You don't die because humans have the ability to drain it out of your body. But old people whose functions have deteriorated die when their accumulation exceeds a certain amount."

The detoxification potion does not restore the ability to drain poison, Kato seems to speculate, simply removing the accumulated poison once.

"That the time will come to suffer again in the same way?

"Until I get my 'poison resistance' skills, I think so"

"Does the teacher have skills?

Kato shook his head and denied it.

"Then it's the teacher who needs to have 'poison resistance' skills."

Kato would be in his forties. After a few years, you are more likely to die of poison yourself. The presence of a doctor is invaluable in this town, so I want you to definitely acquire 'poison resistance' skills.

Recommending that to Kato made me look sinister.

"Whoever defeated the beast was at the scene where he died of a heart attack. I couldn't do anything then."

I know the dangers of leveling up, so I don't seem to have the courage to take a step out of my mind.

Then we discussed and discussed what to do to level it up and make it 'poison resistant' in less dangerous situations.

Kato offered two conditions. One is to secure drugs, such as nitroglycerin, that are effective for heart attacks by securing medicines. They say the next step is to be able to use a defibrillator.

They just can't use the defibrillator because it's out of power. They'll be able to move it as long as they can secure fuel for the generator. The problem is securing medication.

It will be the hospital that has the medicine. But the nearest hospital is next to the Farmers' Association Building.

"That sucks. I can't believe it's next to the goblin's nest."

Elena sighed.

Kato reminded me of what happened before.

"The patient who died on the level I nursed died of an arrhythmia. It would be unfortunate if a defibrillator were available at that time."

Kato says if you can secure gasoline and use the defibrillator, you can take down a foreign beast and try to level up.

"Even though it's my life, I know it's selfish. But I want to try it with a little less risk."

I don't know what it's like to be cowardly if you have the experience of seeing someone die in a severe pain of leveling in front of you. Besides, I seem worried if I could do something risky about the doctor disappearing from town.

"I'll manage to secure the gas"

I promised Kato.

When I left Yoshino's house, Elena and I started walking to the nursery. There is a moon out in the sky, and the moonlight is illuminating the way.

"How do you intend to secure the gas?

"From what Muto and the others told me, it looks like Muto and the others recovered gasoline from the car, and the Beastman District was recovered by the guys in Toshita Town. I think we have to recover it from the cars that are being left behind in the Odd Beast or Treeman districts."

I'm trying to store the heart stones of the wooden attribute, so I thought it might be efficient to hunt Trent and collect the heart stones while collecting gas in the Beast Man area.

"Why don't you talk to Mr. Muto?

"Oh, the other Seekers seem to be working hard, why don't we talk about it"

I hear the Muto and the others continue to work and level up. He boasted that he could now defeat the Orcs in the Beastman District.

I went back to nursery that day for a late dinner before going to bed.

The next morning I go to Muto's house. Muto's family is his wife and two children. Looks like he was eating, and after a short wait, Muto showed up.

"What's going on since this morning?

I explained what I talked to Kato about.

"You don't want to get anywhere near drugs and petrol or just the Farmers' Association building. If you're going to the Tree House to collect gas, we can help."

Muto called two people, Kuroi and Nishinobe, to go to the Tree Man District together. Kashiwaki of the Water Authority was apparently after he went out with another explorer.

We went out with a tank where we could put gas in. Run past the Little Ghost and the Beastman districts. The orcs we encountered along the way were defeated by the Muto. Looks like he's definitely leveling up.

Enter the Wonder Beast District and when you encounter the Wildebore, I will slap the first blow in, slap all the fluttering giant pigs and defeat them.

I can still tell that numbers are power. When it was just me and Elena, it was a hassle, but with all this number of people, it took me a long time to stop breathing.

"Mr. Cozillow is amazing. You're gonna give Wildebore a concussion with one blow."

The second part of the high school student seemed a little respectful.

"It means that humans can be so strong. Good luck to you."

I said as Muto put his strength into his hand holding the hand axe.

Defeat the three Wildebore and enter the Tree Man District. It was to be second-hand split here. The Mustangs head west and me and Elena head to the center of the Tree Man District.

Most houses apparently thought about evacuating by car, with few cars left. There are many single-family houses around here, and I had to look into every garage of them.

I chose a large mansion with a garden. Enter the house through a broken window and go to the garage. There was a car left. It is a luxury car made in Europe. I opened the fuel tank cap as hard as I could and transferred the gasoline to the tank I brought with the siphon pump.

He seemed lucky and the tank of luxury cars was close to full. That one alone fills the tank I brought.

"What you're doing is the same as the old game"

Elena has spoken to me. It would be about a game that breaks pots and the like and collects the herbs and coins inside. If you ask me, I'm doing the same thing.

"I have no choice. Leaving it like this just won't work, so it's best to use it effectively."

"There's going to be something else available in this mansion."

"Shall I look for you for a moment?

"Yes."

Remove the smaller shadow bag and sink the tank filled with gasoline into the shadow space. Then I searched every room.

Groceries were found in the kitchen and shotguns and crossbows were found in what appears to be my husband's hobby room.

"My husband here seemed to like hunting."

"But why didn't you run off with a gun?

I went upstairs to find out the answer. Residents were turning into bones in the upstairs bedroom. We went back to our hobby room, retrieved a horizontal double gun and a crossbow, as well as bolts and bullets that were arrows for the crossbow, and wrapped ourselves in a shadow bag.

I said when I saw the gun Elena put in her shadow bag.

"The Seeker of Higashita Town said he was firstly using guns to repel foreign beasts. But I ran out of ammo right away."

"I guess so."

The bullets that would have been in the police station or gun store would have shot up in a month or two. Later we should have had to fight with blades and sticks.

"Do you use this gun or crossbow to level Dr. Kato?

I nodded. Because I thought it was better than sticks and knives.
