We have a level system in place for mankind.

I brought firewood from the mountains, and Elena and I crossed river wells to discuss it.

"Guardian of the Beast District?

Kawai didn't seem to know what a protector was.

When I explained, I was surprised to open my eyes.

"Was Cozillow raising the skill level of" Manipulative Darkness "to Max because he defeated the Guardian? You're a delicious prey."

Kawai seems more interested in the perks of defeating him than in the guardian's fear. Elena turned her tight gaze to Kawai.

"If you do, your guardian will kill you."

"Are you that bad of a guy?

"I fought as hard as I could, and we were each other. You're gonna get killed in one blow right now."

"Isn't it reckless, then, to fight the guardian of an oak stronger than a goblin?

"I'm stronger, too, and I got a new weapon. There is a chance. Even so, it's a prerequisite to raise the level of both of us before we fight, and to do reconnaissance as well."

"If that's how discreet you are, I guess you'll be fine"

Kawai agreed. I've decided to do everything in my power to help the two of us get to the next level.

"So that's two levels up"

Kawai and Elena continued to fight Orc against them. As a result, Elena went up to '15' for the individual level and '12' for Kawai.

Kawai obtained "Great Sword Technique" and "Fucking Geotechnical Technique" in his skill selection. He was reluctant to get "Manicure" Kawai, but his parents convinced him to get "Manicure".

Kawai's parents say they are looking to make him use his' manipulation 'skills for farming.

Meanwhile, Elena was lost in finding the skills of "Spirit Users." I think it's a fascinating skill to deduce from the name, but I couldn't tell the specifics. When I was consulted about it, I also had trouble judging.

"Right," The Spirit Man "? I know it sounds like a skill to use, but is the Spirit really there?

"There are so many different beasts that there are spirits."

As for the Spirit, he was getting information from Muto. The district across the Yangnuo River, which flows west of the Tree Man District, is apparently called the Spirit District. Among those who fled the district were those who saw the Spirit.

"Can't you choose your" Spirit Users "skills until you're sure the Spirit exists?"

"Right. Because if you can't find the Spirit, the 'Spirit User' skill doesn't make sense."

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

Around the same time, an armoured train was running through the city of Jesuit. It is a train that has carried rations. Inside the three trains, armored with steel plates, were the main towns of Nagato, an investigator of the central government, and Second Class Luzo of the Land Self-Defense Forces.

"Investigator Nagato, the Guardian Killer in Tazaki City was only one young man named Fujiyashi."

"Yeah, to the extent I looked into it, there was no other sign of the guardian being defeated,"

"What did he gain by defeating his guardian? Instead of giving me information about the Springs of Dividence, I guess I asked."

"He seems to have maxed the skill level of 'Manipulative Flame'"

"Well, that's classic."

"'The art of manipulation' is powerful. I understand your desire to raise your skill level."

"Is there a Guardian Killer in Jesuit City?

No, I wasn't in the last investigation.

"Well, the investigation records didn't give the city a very high rating."

Investigator Nagato nodded. One of the Ombudsman's tasks is the assessment of the surviving local authorities. The city of Jesuit was not highly rated, especially the chief rating. The central government rated your handwashing mayor, the chief of the city of Jesuit, as someone on the passing line.

Investigators Nagato and Erzo Hongo descended from an armoured train that arrived at Toshita Town Station in Jesu City.

The other occupants began the work of unloading the luggage that had been loaded on the train. This distribution includes petrol and light oil, as well as dry batteries and batteries.

Investigators Nagato and Second Colonel Hongo went to see the mayor.

"Mayor, it's been a while."

"I really am, Nagato-san. I wonder if you could give me rations a little more often."

Investigator Nagato laughed. The same thing is said by the chiefs of each region.

"I'd like to, but it's also difficult to obstruct foreign beasts."

Your handwash mayor warped his face.

"A different beast... can't you handle it? What's the militia doing?

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough ammunition left in the militia."

The militia used modern weapons to try to exterminate the alien beasts that occupied Tokyo. However, the operation failed and Tokyo is still occupied by a different beast.

Most MPs died from the poison released by the alien beast. It seems that the foreign beasts that appeared in Tokyo also had many poisons that emitted many powerful monsters.

People, including surviving MPs, fled to Nagano Prefecture. Because Nagano was a region near Tokyo where there were relatively few foreign beasts. A provisional central government was formed in Nagano Prefecture.

"How much oil do we have left?

"It's a state secret. But from now on, there will be fewer petrol and light oil rations. Coal will be rationed instead."

"Coal! What are we going to do with coal? You can't move a tractor with coal."

"Please calm down. Oil-producing facilities in oil-producing countries are being destroyed by foreign beasts. The government believes that oil imports will be interrupted for several years."

Instead of a few years, the government was in jeopardy as to whether it could import ahead. So I was thinking of importing coal to make electricity out of coal-fired electricity and using electric cars, etc.

"But importing coal would also require a transport vessel. Surely the transporter should be fueling heavy oil. What are we gonna do about that?

"Turn fuel into coal."

The mayor of your hand wash was not surprised because it could have been expected that the transporter's engine would be turned into a coal-fired steam turbine engine.

"Can't we build that coal-fired power generation in our city, too?

"We are developing a small coal-fired power generation device. Wait for that. Besides, East Lower Town seems to have a lot of buildings with solar panels on the roof. Do you really need it?

That solar panel was what the mayor ordered the Seeker to collect.

"There is a vision of the foresight of Non, which I have made him gather. But power is scarce at night or on bad weather days"

"Right. However, the development of small coal-fired power plants will take time"

The two who managed to convince the mayor went outside.

"Well, let's start the investigation"

The two spent several days exploring the alien beast territory of the city of Jesuit. Not all of them, of course. Because some districts are dangerous to break into.

"You surprise me. The guardians of the two territories have been defeated, and there are those who have touched the control stone."

Investigator Nagato raised his voice. He has the skill of "Feng Shui Eye " and is able to read information on the types of alien beasts and guardian and control stones that inhabit the land.

Let's check with the mayor.

The two met the mayor again to confirm. But the mayor didn't seem to know. I don't think you're lying out of the mayor's condition. Second Colonel Hongo put his hand on his chin and thought.

"When the mayor doesn't know, the Guardian Killer in Jesu City sounds like secrecy. I might have a hard time finding it."

The central government is looking to scout for a seeker who has just the strength to defeat a guardian known as the Guardian Killer. In order for the Japanese to survive, they think it's a necessary talent.

"It's going to take a while to find each and every Explorer."

Investigator Nagato said, considering the time for the armoured train to return. The armoured train is scheduled to return tomorrow.

"The investigation should be carried over to the next time. First, we should proceed with negotiations to scout Fujiyashi in Tazaki City."

The Guardian Killer is the person the central government also wants, but it is also a valuable person in the local government. It was also the job of the two of us to negotiate with the chief of the region to which we belong.

Raise your voice as Second Colonel Hongo remembered.

"Guardian killer here, but not Ryuzaki?

It is Ryuzaki who is the leader of the Seeker in Higashita Town. His strength was also top notch, and he was an explorer that Second Colonel Hongo also recognized.

"Maybe. But then the mayor must know. I don't think Ryuzaki's gonna hide anything from the mayor."

"You did. Ryuzaki was the mayor's son."

The day the armored train left Higashita town, your handwashing mayor and Ryuzaki were talking. In it, Second Colonel Hongo told Ryuzaki that the Guardian Killer might be there.

"Are you saying there's a guy in Jesuit who took down a guardian?

"I didn't unequivocally affirm it. I was just asked if there was a Guardian Killer."

Ryuzaki has the face of Kiyojiro Momo in Higashigami Town on his head.

Because I knew from Kojiro's condition that he was quite capable.

"If he defeats the Guardian, you can't lose."

Ryuzaki shrugged. The whining didn't seem to sound like the mayor.
