We have a level system in place for mankind.

Hiroki's weapon is a sword. I pulled it out and put it in my hand.

"Wait, wait, that would be just not a good idea to fight with weapons. Let's do it without weapons."

"Fine, fine."

Hiroki lays the sword on his sheath and sets it up with his bare hands. Fujiyashi stabbed a spear in his hand into a nearby tree.

"Oh, can I be alone? You can have your people with you."

Hiro lifted his eyes, Fujiyashi said.

"It's enough for one person."

The two pack their time with Jirijiri, and Hiroki punches out first. Fujiyashi twists his torso and releases a taekwondo-style kick. Fujiyashi was a Taekwondo figure.

The two began a fierce battle. However, Fujiyashi will soon prevail. After all, the number of defeated guardians seems to be affecting the individual level, and Fujiyashi's power and speed exceeded Hiroki's.

Fujiyashi's upper kick captures Hiro's cheek and shocks him like he was dialed by a car.

Hiroki flew through the universe and hit a standing tree and stopped.

"Hiro!"

Tadahiro shouted and ran over to Hiroki, who was falling.

"What do you say? There's a top up there, you'll see. You seem promising, so work under me."

Hiro, who was bleeding from his mouth, stood up and shook his head.

"Oh no. Just because I lost doesn't mean I'm your kid."

"So what are you going to do? You need permission from the mayor to enter Oshima Town in Tazaki City."

Oshimamachi is the human territory of Tazaki City.

"May, we can do anything. I can't take care of you guys."

Fujiyashi turned to the other two.

"Are you guys the same?

"Naturally. Hiro is one of us."

Fujiyashi left with a cold laugh when he heard that.

"Hiro, are you okay?

"Oh. Damn, I lost"

"I'm just not feeling well today."

Sanya told me to comfort her. But we all knew it. As Fujiyashi said, 'There's a top up there'.

"What do we do?

Tadahiro asked what he would do next. He himself thought he would go to Oshima-cho in Tazaki City or start exploring in Tazaki City.

We're going back to the coast.

"Yeah, why the coast?

"This place doesn't suit us. Going elsewhere."

Hiro couldn't bear to have a stronger Explorer nearby.

Back on the coast, Hiroki heads offshore on a foot rowing boat with a statue of Lanin on it. Bad luck caught me offshore. An offshore stream is a fast stream that flows from shore to shore.

It was quickly flushed off quite a bit. It's hard from there. I kept rowing around all day and night and was so tired that I was dying when I reached shore.

"I thought I was going to die. I don't like the ocean anymore."

Loyalty spills stupidity in a crying voice. The three of them, who slept to fall up on the beach, looked up at the sky. The world today feels the air is clear because most factories are stopped.

"Where am I?

"I don't know. I came south of Tazaki City, so it's around Yesu City."

It was on the coast near the Qiwei District in Jesu City that the Hiro trees reached.

After falling asleep for a while, the three of them rise and head towards the Odd Beast District. to find water and food.

"Is there a strong guy here, too?

"I don't know. Whoa, there's a vending machine."

The vending machine had been broken and the drinks in it had been stolen. Exceptionally, however, only water pet bottles remain.

"Why is there only water left?

"Maybe there's water where you live"

Hiroki and the others packed a bottle of water pet into the backpack. These three did not possess the skills of "Manipulative Darkness" and "Cardiostone Processing".

Though occupied by different beasts, the Hiro trees who lived in the city didn't really feel the need for shadow bags or anything like that. Not that I didn't feel it at all, but rather than acquiring "Manipulative Darkness" or "Cardiac Stone Processing," I devoted all my energy to acquiring "Manipulative Flame" or "Swordsmanship" and increasing my skill level.

"What kind of alien beast lives there, huh?

Tadahiro looked around. At that time, I hear an awesome sound of something colliding from the direction of my left hand.

"What is it? Let's go."

Hiroki takes the lead and heads towards the one who makes the noise. I saw a big pig pushing a wide road for 10%. The pig hit a parked private car and turned it upside down.

"Is it a hog monster? If this was a regular pig, I could have eaten it."

Hiroki used the skills of "Manipulative Thundering". It is an attack move called [Ball Electricity] that will be available at skill level 2. It's a move to project a bulb electricity, a chunk of plasma, but not very powerful.

Ball electricity hits Wildebore. That part was burned with high heat and some of the skin and meat carburized. Damage that would be so severe that humans would be unable to move, but the alien beast was just furious.

"That's an unusable skill."

"May. I just have a low skill level"

Ignoring the grumpy Hiroki, Tadahiro unleashed the [blast] of "manipulative flame technique". A mass of flames flew and bombed the Wildebore.

"Hey, how's it going?"

Zhonghong raised his voice with joy. An attack move called [Blast] is powerful for attack moves that can be used at low skill levels. That was a major cause of the fact that many people are searchers and acquire skills in 'manipulative inflammation'.

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

At the end of the agricultural season, we were looking around the city of Jesu. The land where people were gone was changing rapidly, and they were checking it out.

"Can I go to White Eyebrow Mountain for a second?

When I suggested it, Elena and Misaki tilted their necks.

"I want to know what happened to the raft I was on when I got off the island."

Elena and Misaki agreed, so we headed to the coast. Kawai at the rear looks dissatisfied.

"Wait, you don't need your consent?

I flinched around and turned around,

"Majority vote."

He complained to me that Kawai didn't even ask, but he ignored me.

Head out to the coast and head west. I found something weird in front of Mount White Eyebrow.

"What is that?

There was a strange boat on the beach.

"An old man's statue...... who is it?

Kawai is leaning his neck. Elena didn't look familiar either. But Misaki was staring at me.

"This is a Lenin statue."

"Lenin? Russian?

"Yes, Vladimir Lenin... who created the Soviet Union, the first socialist nation in the world."

Elena stared at the foot rowing boat.

"Does that mean you rode a foot rowing boat from Russia and crossed the Sea of Japan?

"Hmm... I don't know. I wonder if it's something I can cross on a boat like this."

"There are still footprints around the boat. Isn't it new?"

I confirmed the footprint with Elena's words. The footprints that stay neat look like they've just been done.

"Let's track it down. I wonder who broke into the city of Jesuit."

"Right. Maybe we should check it out."

Elena and Kawai nodded at me and Misaki's conversation.

We followed the trail the intruder left behind and headed to the Beast District. Looks like the intruder entered the Strange Beast District and headed south. When I came near my parents' house, I ran after three intruders.

"Oh, come on, aren't you a child"

The three boys looked back.

We're not kids.

It was Japanese, so I was horrified. What would I have done if it were Korean or Russian?

"If it's not a child, it's a boy. I don't care what you think, you're not an adult."

"An extra favor. Who are you people?

"I'm a resident of Higashigami. Where'd you come from?

It's Osawa-cho.

"I don't know... you've come a long way. Do you have any purpose?

"May. You keep asking questions."

Elena mumbled.

"You have no way of saying that. Cozillow's worried about you."

"I'm saying that's an extra favor. We're not kids, we can do anything."

When I heard that word, I almost laughed. Because what you think you can do is, in itself, you were a child.
