We have a level system in place for mankind.

Ryuzaki came to his dismay as Fujiyashi said proudly that he had defeated the three guardians.

"Hmm, didn't you defeat the same guardian three times?

Fujiyashi laughs with his nose when he hears it.

"Hmm, you don't seem to know. If the same person defeats the same guardian, they will not be rewarded for choosing control stones or defeating them."

"Really? I learned. So what brings you to Jesuit City for?

Fujiyashi narrowed his eyes and stared at Ryuzaki.

"Well, fine. I came to Jesuit to help you."

"Help? What are you talking about?

"The mayor of your hand wash has asked you to attack the territory of the beast and make a talisman."

Ryuzaki turned his gaze to your handwashing mayor. If Fujiyashi's story is true, it means the mayor doesn't trust Ryuzaki.

"What, those eyes? I guess Fujiyashi asked you because you explorers don't do your job properly. Do you have a complaint?"

Ryuzaki wanted to pound his tongue, but stopped on the verge. Fujiyashi to Ryuzaki,

"So, which territory did you defeat?

I asked him that question, so I told him the name of the Beast District.

"That sounds like the weakest territory. Is everything else untouched?

"I don't know that. I hear some of the guys from Higashigami town attacked. But the Little Beast District is fine because you defeated it, and there's no other problem."

"That's sweet. Touch the control stone and once you've made your choice, you'll disappear from your choice. So if those East End people had chosen the talisman, they wouldn't be able to respond to the mayor's request."

"You, Fujiyashi, give your support."

Your order came from the mayor of the handwash. When Ryuzaki looked dissatisfied, he was stared at.

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

At the behest of Fujiyashi, Ryuzaki headed to Higashigami Town. To see which guardian the Seeker of Higashigami defeated.

I was at a nursery in Higashigami, and I was surprised to see Ryuzaki.

Me and Ryuzaki sat on a bench in the nursery yard and started talking.

"Ryuzaki-san, isn't it rare?"

"There's something I need you to tell me."

"Hmm, what?

Ryuzaki informed him that Fujiyashi was coming to Yesu City and that there were various constraints regarding guardians and control stones.

"Heh, I have that constraint. So what do you want to hear?

"I want you to tell me where the Cozillows defeated the Guardians."

I was wondering what you kindly taught me about guardians and control stones. But I hear that was like a reward for telling us about the guardians we defeated.

"There are three guardians we defeated: the Little Ghost District, the Beastman District, and the Tree Man District. It was the little ghost and the beast district that chose how to make the talisman."

"Well, did you defeat the guardians of the Little Ghost District and the Tree Man District? I don't know about Tree Man District, but the Guardian of Little Ghost District must have been a formidable enemy."

"He was strong. They're back together, so why don't you fight?"

"Well, the mayor's purpose is a talisman."

"Right. Then it would seem interesting to target the big fat ass in Grass Dragon District."

"It's not funny at all. Even if Fujiyashi fights in the main, we will support ourselves. If you are as powerful an enemy as the guardian of Grass Dragon District, you will be killed if you make a gap for a moment."

Looks like Ryuzaki has also seen the guardians of Kusaryu-ku. A guardian like Triceratops, nine metres long, an enemy that is difficult to defeat.

"It's Fujiyashi who decides who to fight"

"Fujiyashi... what kind of man are you?

"We just met. I don't know yet."

"Well, let's ask Misaki."

Ryuzaki returned, and I ended my salary and went into the log house. Sweating in the shower, then being generous in the living room, Elena and Misaki, who were going to the vinyl house, and the kids came back.

Looks like they've been harvesting cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.

"I want a cold beer"

Misaki, sitting on the couch in the living room, said abruptly.

"If it's canned beer, it's still there."

"You can't be so raw and warm. I'd like a cold beer for a kink."

"Wait a little longer, the power will come. Then you can use the refrigerator."

"At that time, summer is over. I want a drink now."

Elena laughs when she hears me and Misaki talking. Misaki turned her gaze to the water supply she could see through the window.

I noticed that. Elena also turns her gaze to the water supply.

"The water from the tap warms up in the summer, too."

The water sent through the pipes from the dragonbeard spring water is also warm and less cold along the way.

Misaki looked at me with the face that something flashed.

"Hey, how about digging a well?

"Where do I dig, I don't know if there's a water vein"

"Can't you tell by the dowsing?

I turn my gaze to Misaki.

"You know how to do this?

"I saw it on TV."

"You can't. I dug it for meters. I'm sorry I didn't get any water. Besides, we're close to the ocean, so we might get some sea water."

"Cozillow doesn't accumulate enough skill points to take" Ice Crafting. "

"Give me a break choosing skills for a cold beer."

"I have no choice. Do you want to take 'Ice Cracking' yourself?"

"What's your skill point?

"Defeat the Guardian to get it"

I shrugged my shoulder.

"With that said, I met Mr. Ryuzaki, and he's got a Guardian Killer in Higashita town called Fujiyashi."

Misaki distorted her face disgustingly. If you look at that face, you can guess what Fujiyashi looks like.

"What are you here for?

"At the mayor's request, they're going to take down the guardian and get a way to make a talisman."

I told the two of you what I heard from Ryuzaki.

Misaki raised her voice as she thought.

"The mayor of your hand wash is thinking about using the territory of the beast."

Does the mayor think the same thing about our little mountain farm? Or does it have a different purpose?

Elena looks anxious.

"Sounds like you're playing a national theft game."

Misaki asks me when she hears the words.

"Hey, Cozillow. Is there nowhere in the territory of the beast where you want to keep your talisman?

I thought of a territory where I wanted a talisman.

"I want the Talisman and Spirit District talismans."

Judging by the signs of the guardian, think in strong order. It is the order of the Beastman District, Xiaolong District, Tree Man District, Strange Beast District, Little Ghost District, Grass Dragon District, Feilong District, and Spirit District.

There are other territories, but they were not eligible because they had never felt any sign of a guardian.

Surprisingly, the guardians of the Little Ghost District were strong. The Guardians of the Little Ghost District are already back, but they don't want to fight again. Next time I try to aim, it would be Xiaolong District or Treeman District.

By the way, the Beastman District has just been defeated, so the Guardian is not back. We discussed it and decided on the next guardian to go after.

"All right, we're gonna take down the guardians of the Tree Block again."

It's me and Elena, Misaki, and Kawai. The Hiro trees harvest potatoes on the Koyama farm. They say farming is tough, but their expressions are brighter.

Probably because I saw hope for the future.

We went to the Tree Town and headed to the plastic factory to collect Trent's cardiac stones. There is a fountain of division in this factory, and there are guardians.

I could tell the signs from outside the factory. Kawai said with his gaze on the factory.

"Hey, Cozillow. Who's gonna take down the guardian?

"Right. Now Misaki or Michihar."

"What, can I do it myself?

"Overall, we need to do that to increase our strength."

"Well, let's make up our minds in the junket"

Misaki and Kawai played junket and Misaki won. Kawai drops his shoulder disappointingly.

Once inside the factory, you can see the resurrected guardian. It's a monster with many long arm-like branches stretching from the top of a baobab tree about a meter in diameter.

It is the thorny attack emitted from the branches that must be cautioned in this guardian. We each attacked while avoiding a thorny attack.

It is Elena's Blasting Arrow, my Shadow Blade Wolf Tooth Stick, Kawai's Attack Technique [Spear Throw] of "Fucking Geotechnical" Skills, and Misaki's [Blast Fire Strike]. When Misaki decided that the guardian's damage had accumulated to some extent, she moved.

He approached his guardian and threw a tank with gas in it. Misaki, who flew away, unleashed a [blast]. Fire on gasoline and the flames swell, enveloping the guardian.

After the guardian stopped moving and disappeared, a voice echoed in Misaki's head.

[I defeated the Guardian Delguios. You can remove any one from your owned skills and return it to Skill Points. Which do you choose?

"What? This isn't what I was hearing."

When we heard Misaki's voice, we gathered and asked her what she heard.

"I see, you mean you can start over acquiring skills"

After hearing my words, Misaki chose "Fucking Hydraulics: 3".

The next moment, the voice of the example echoes in my head again.

[Level increased]

[Level increased]

[Level increased]

[Level increased]

Bearing the pain, Misaki dives into a split fountain and touches the control stone.

[I touched the control stone in the Delgios area. You will be given a choice]

I. Gain the knowledge to make a talisman that will no longer be attacked from Trent.

II. Destroy the control stone and get a period during which Trent will not increase for ten years.

From Misaki, who came up from the springs of division, asked what had happened.

He said the choice had been reduced to two. The story of Ryuzaki seemed true. Misaki said she chose the talisman.
