Welcome to Japan, Mr. Elf.
Episode 12: Demon Stone Candlestick
It was a dark, steamy room.
There were several holes in the wall in this room, which continued to corrode due to intense sunshine, and moisture from the oasis.
From the mossy crack, it's time for the man to peek into his face.
There is a sight of two children dining ahead looking down, and the man exhales in their swallowing breath.
It's like coming to a picnic. But this is an outdoor (field) for advanced students, and I can see that only two children survive and are not the same.
The man who observes it quietly is tanned red copper and has a body odor that he can tell he hasn't wiped his body in days. The same was true of those around, with uniformly sharp eyes and suspicious signs.
While observing with swordswallowing eyes, the man opens his mouth.
"Oh, my God, he's so tiny."
"Level 50...... No, 60 is Toko. Cooper is fast and hard, but that elf is using a weak defensive (down) system. And the rate of annihilation isn't normal."
Hmm, the leader and thoughtful man stroke his jaw beard.
Slightly yellow eyeballs moved slightly and used [Fishermen for Gold Coins (Steel Eyes)] to find their possessions.
This skill (skill) is difficult to distract because the subject is an object, and few countermeasures such as undetectable. But only to the value of the subject.
"... Ha, I smell so great with the little bag. Whoa, let's do it."
The words, then the chains rang, and when I looked back, the little man was frightened and trembling. Much smaller than they are, and the limbs peeking through the dirty robes are frivolous.
as the sleigh and the leader approach, the little one nods at the wall, making his body even smaller unfortunately.
"Look, you don't have to be frightened, do you? This is our fine job, and if you don't make money, you're gonna starve to death. You've already killed a lot of people, and now you're okay with two more kids?
".................. ugh!!
The eyes peeking from the hood were opened to represent fear, just kept shaking the snail and body. Seeing how frightened they are, the men leak their inferior laughter and start thinking about making money that they will soon have in their hands.
Apparently, those two kids didn't know. That this site is now designated by the state as a hazardous area.
There have been many unexplained incidents, and there are numerous who do not return.
And also, a pathetic victim was about to be born today.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Marie's expression is dark for the usual lunchtime...... You always look like you're eating lunch, but you're showing more signs today.
Has it upset you in any way... I think so, watching as I sweat cold, her lips move out bumpy.
"Five levels up in just over three hours... even on one level it took a few years..."
"Uh, yeah, good for you. I thought Marie would be fine, and it's a big deal to be able to do magic with such precision."
I've never seen anything called spiritual magic before, but it was certainly something I could expect in the future.
You are ready for sorcery in advance and can unleash it at the same time as the war begins. Even more polite, she was very precise in her technique and never missed her aim.
Preemptive sorcerer. That sounds kind of interesting.
That's what I thought, but when the jittery and light purple eyes turn this way, the cold sweat runs out of my head.
The look on her cheeks just a little bloated is adorable, but sometimes she remembers an indescribable force from her.
"... what were my previous years?
"Yeah, but look, the proficiency level is different again. You need to work hard."
When she tells him so, Marie leaks her voice down "hmm," a face that makes her feel like she has a chest stiffness. I had one cute snort with Fusu, and then I started talking in a strangely sober voice.
"No, you're not. I knew I'd be honest with Kazhiho."
Hey, what is it? Staring thrilled, the elf breathed, and confessed.
"I'm so relieved that the magic guild people are always telling me all about levels! They were the only ones who grew up in Skuk and were angry!
"Oh, yeah, I was..."
Marie revealed herself in her chest with a cute and compelling face... but I knew it was scary, that kind of strength society. It's like an exam war, and ordinary people like me are freaked out.
Thanks to that honest confession, Marie seemed clear, and she laughed bitterly at each other before resuming lunch.
"But I'm just a little sorry to be so far apart. I was looking forward to leveling while we talked. Look, you're gonna be funny."
"Yeah, I wonder if it's funny... But so am I. I never played level with anybody, and I've actually always been excited."
Smile and say so, the look on the elf will be a little brighter.
Sometimes when you are smiled at with brightly colored lips, your surroundings seem brighter with jeweled light purple eyes too. With those beautiful eyes, Marie peered into me.
"You'll be pulling your legs now, but one day I'll make sure you're in trouble if I'm not around"
The illuminated smile of watching makes me remember my chest pounding unconsciously. I wondered if she would stay with me forever, and it was a grin that made me have faint expectations.
I was not worthy of looking at pearl-like teeth and blushing my cheeks. [M]
Heh, you're cute as a joke at all.
Now, relax and we'll have tea to restore the lost magic.
People have their own amount of magic, and Marie apparently has a little more. Take a break this way to recover, or take magic itself as a medicine. But drugs are expensive, and we don't need them in the first place because we like this kind of relaxing time.
There is a cold breeze coming from the oasis, and Marie seems to be getting better looking all the time. Maybe, but what was unusual and frustrating earlier was that it also affected the loss of magic.
"Do you want to switch skills? Because I got to level 32...... oh, I knew I had a free slot in my skills (skills). Then how much experience do you have? It's a rare skill, and I envy it."
"Oh, I guess I'll do that if I don't have to replace it. Kazhiho didn't have that kind of experience improvement system."
Um, I don't really know much about it either.
Rumor has it that skill sets (skills) in the EXP system are difficult to develop when they have fragmented skills like mine. Conversely, specialization types like Marie are likely to occur.
"Hmm, I don't know, but I guess it means it's not suitable. See, in your case, fishing, linguistic systems, each with different experiences, right? Fishing doesn't raise your occupational level, but in my case, experience is mostly connected to one... maybe?
Hmm, like I know. Like I don't know...
Well, anyway, this is going to level up again, so I'm going to be able to raise it a little bit more today.
A chill runs on my spine when I'm calculating, for example.
I had an instinct to avoid being struck by demons, and I felt that someone had turned to malicious emotions.
(That's funny, I didn't think he was that dangerous)
I had noticed that the bad guys were lurking. That's why we kept levelling and making them realize what we're capable of.
I assumed they would stay away... but was that a failure?
With that in mind, I saw something glittering overhead.
"What's wrong, Kazhiho?
"Look, over there. There's someone in the other building..."
I looked up and saw someone standing in a building in the middle of a cliff. Surprised, the two of us observe the person still.
He is wearing a very dirty cloth and has lean hands and feet peeking. If you look closely, each one was chained, and furthermore the beast man and thoughtful furrower peered.
"... the beast man's child? Besides, is that a magic catalyst?
Pompous and Marie groaned, glancing at him, the kid did have the stone in his hand. Apparently that was the light source I noticed earlier.
Before we looked up, the child raised the stone to the sky... and the anomaly soon came.
Not not...!
From the area around the oasis, the ground is slowly drilled in front of us as we lean against each other. It was a circular hole like Ant Hell, and I could see something crawling out of it.
I rolled up a lot of sand, and the first thing I saw was a giant head. The thick skull is probably a meter long, with a number of double eyes lined tightly next to each other. The wavy torso is like a bright red snake, wrapped around a tunnel and scattered dust and sand into the oasis.
Gikokokokokoko......
Gikokokokokokokokoo............!!
He opened his mouth full of tentacles and he rang.
"Ahhh!!
It's a shock like getting your head slapped with cancer just by growling. Marie starts screaming and I embrace her to protect her. [M]
You heard a scream, and you were all furious at the way you turned your double-eyed eye toward us all at once.
"I've been noticed...... Huh!
The giant attempting to reach the high ground opened his huge mouth with Bakri, and shortly thereafter the turbidity caused by the hot sand blew away.
Muri, me and Marie got out of bed.
They stare at each other as they fall asleep, then exhale in relief at the same time. Hey, I'm glad you had a dream. I thought, "Hiccup" and a small voice echoed in my ear when I hugged her.
... Oh, I'm on track because of my sleep.
Nevertheless, the temperature transmitted to your pyjamas is comfortable, and she only holds it back softly whenever she stands still.
Still in that position, Marie whispered to Potho Potho and her ear.
"There was no such thing as that. Look, my breasts are still hanging out."
"Yeah, I was surprised, too. What was it?
I didn't know because it was already about the world of dreams, but they were desperately looking for our wreckage and bags. Well, I'm sorry, but we're just a little special.
"Oh, it's not 6: 00 anymore. I wonder if it was just right in a way. So Kazhiho's getting ready for work?
"Yeah, because it's Saturday. Help Marie study... Oh, yeah, why don't we go out? Well, I wonder if there's anything interesting about it."
Pick up a smartphone that was nearby whining, etc. It grew brighter and brighter outside, and our first Japanese weekend began.
