The next morning, Akai and I habitually got up early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The goat we hunted yesterday had enough food to get us through the week, and although the weather has been getting worse lately, as long as we get through this time, it will soon be the beginning of spring when the snow and ice melt.

At that point, we can get back into the leisurely life of eating and drinking and lying down for the day.

"Summer! Xia Jun! Kai-kun! ”

Just as Akai and I were hanging out in front of our house and shoveling the snow along the way, the girl's call drew our attention.

"What's wrong?" Akai asked with some confusion.

A snow-white robe, wrapped around a scarf, Asami held a roll of leather in her hand and handed it to us.

"Just now, there was a very tall ・・・・・・ man with a pitch-black body, and suddenly appeared in the living room! Then it was left behind and vanished. Asami's face was a little bad, obviously frightened.

"What's that? It's a little scary. ”

Akai and I looked at each other, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought something was going on, Asami, listen up, that three-meter-tall black figure just now is called an enderman." I flipped through the leather and it seemed to have something drawn on it.

"Ender・・・・・・ man?"

Akai nodded, "That's right, like the townspeople, endermen are also a sapient race, but they belong to monsters, and their camp is neutral, and their duty is to protect the dark side of this world, and they are also the race that guards the end lands. ”

"Can you elaborate on what Akaesan said about the Endland?"

"Ah, of course, I don't have anything to do today anyway, I was going to take a break, let's go into the house, just to tell you about the composition of this world."

"Well, then please, I want to know more about this world."

I waved at Akai, "Go, go, don't dangle in front of my eyes, I feel an inexplicable sense of congestion." ”

"Wow!"

Walking through the 50-meter promenade between the beach and the island villa, Akai and Asami walked into their home.

Spreading the leather with both hands, there was some jumbled drawings on it, and some fonts that resembled symbols, and it was clear that it was a letter.

Since it was sent by the endermen, then it is estimated that the king of enders is looking for something for us, but the monsters are all illiterate, so even if the credit is written, it is this stream-of-consciousness method.

GodTM stream of consciousness!

"Damn, labor and management can't understand it, bastard! What is this written! What! ”

At first glance, there are a lot of 'wood' characters carved into the leather, and I guess it must be the Black Forest, where the Ender King has come to us for something.

Then, there were the next ones, one with a bow and arrows on it, and an unknown object that looked like a large chunk.

Finally, there are two stickmen in the forest, and the paintings are so simple that I forgive me for not seeing anything.

"Well・・・・・・ meaning is unknown!"

I frowned and stared at it for a long time.

"I bet that the five cents was definitely not drawn by the King of Enders, because it will become black history and be laughed at by peers, then it should be other 'people'."

In addition to these super stream-of-consciousness patterns, there are also some fonts engraved on the leather, which appear to be Japanese.

"But I can only listen and speak, and I can't write at all!"

(Kyoko Sakura: Ahh ）

I can only understand how to break hiragana and katakana?!

Well, now it's my turn to become illiterate.

There is still a way to solve the language barrier through spiritual communication, so what about the cultural barrier?

It can only be served cold.

I folded the leather and put it in my backpack.

"Anyway, let's go and see first."

Speaking of drawing, in fact, this is a compulsory course for every mage, whether it is drawing a magic array, sorting out books, or recording things, you need to use pen and ink.

The profession of mage, magic aside, is actually a combination of a biologist, a botanist, an archaeologist, an ecologist, and so on.

In addition to the above, research-oriented mages may also have to study music, medicine, medicine, mathematics, physics and chemistry.

In other words, a naturalist.

Therefore, it is only after a long period of precipitation that I can grow into a qualified mage.

Those who only know that they blindly fight will eventually get lost and drown in battle. This is the witch of the Seven Dawns, the warning given to me by my teacher, Pacilino Regi.

Well, all of the above are excuses.

Because most of the magic books in the Red Devil Pavilion are read with mental power, I forgot to learn how to write at all.

And because of the relationship between the [unified language], there is no obstacle to daily communication, so ・・・・・・

Ahem.

――――――――――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――――――――――

So, just like a role-playing game with a quest flow, Akai and I took a Ba Asami by the way, and the three of us came to the vicinity of the Black Forest.

As for how we got here?

The Black Forest is thousands of kilometers away from our home, and every time we go to find the Ender King, we use the portal at the corresponding coordinates in the next Hell.

Now the next Hell has been much more peaceful, but what remains unchanged is the ubiquitous scorching heat.

The sense of the obsidian portal whirling around during the teleportation is still very nostalgic.

Luckily, Akai and I are used to it, and Asami Ba almost can't get up after going through a portal or two.

It was a violent seasickness, as if everything in front of me was spinning, and then the next moment the person was going to fall.

"Hmm!!!"

Ba Asami covered her small mouth, her face was pale,

"Well, take it a little bit." Akai patted the girl on the back and laughed.

I glanced at the thing, and then looked away, after all, we were both over thirty years old, so I should not have seen it.

Actually, we just wanted Asami to experience the characteristics of the MC world. Behold, this unique obsidian portal will allow you to experience a sensation that you can't even experience on a roller coaster!

To put it bluntly, it's just a pit man in the open.

"Well, the letter should be about the Black Forest." Akai asked, turning his head to me.

"That's right, although this painting is at the same level as kindergarten, I can still know the meaning."

During the conversation, Asami seemed to have survived the aftermath of the portal and recovered.

"It's a dense wood, it's pitch black and you can't see anything, is there really anything in it?" Asami is a little dodgy.

This kind of ghostly place has always been the enemy of girls.

"However, except for our home and the royal city, the rest of this world is similar to here."

Asami: "・・・・・・"

After complaining about all the monster territories in this world, he set his eyes on the Black Forest.

In front of us, the Black Forest, made up of low and dense trees, now exudes a different atmosphere than usual.

It was an even more eerie atmosphere, as well as ・・・・・・

"Akai."

"Yes, I see."

Needless to say, Akai reached out and protected Asami behind him, who was a little incomprehensible.

"What's wrong?"

Akai's eyes looked around, and then said, "Asami, change your body first, we may not be able to free up our hands for a while." ”

Although I don't know why, Asami Ba still took out the soul gem and switched to a magical girl, holding two flintlock pistols in her hands.

"Ready, then what?"

Hearing this, Akai smiled and said, "Then? And you didn't realize that we were surrounded. ”

"Exactly."

As soon as I finished speaking, in Asami's eyes with wide golden pupils, a large number of endermen appeared out of thin air and surrounded us.

Three meters tall, black humanoids and purple eyes exude a sense of ruthlessness that makes every enderman feel oppressive, and on the arms that are not thick compared to zombies, the sharp claws still exude an aura that is even colder than the cold under the dim sky.

"It seems that something should have happened to the King of Ender, so these little brothers are starting to get nervous."

If it was usual, then we should have been allowed to go in directly, but now it seems that we have to go in.

"I just don't know if the old immortal specifically asked for this." I snorted and pushed my glasses.

"Huh? Do you want to fight these things? Asami was a little panicked.

After all, unlike witches and messengers, every enderman here looks so strong. Considering what we mean by intelligent races, then what we mean is that every enderman is an experienced warrior, and with the race's talent for teleportation, each one is a qualified assassin.

The scene became solemn for a while.

Finally ・・・・・・

As the first endermen vanished in place, the next moment all the endermen disappeared in the blink of an eye as if they had never appeared.

"It's ・・・・・!"

Ba Asami didn't finish speaking, but he saw Akai suddenly swing the long sword in his hand behind the girl.

Zizizizi!!

The sound of the clash of soldiers and iron rang out, and the silent claws were stopped by Akai with the iron sword in his hand, and then he took advantage of the momentum, pushing the attacking claws back, and a wound appeared on the enderman's body.

Frightened, Asami reflexively fired a shot, and then a white light flashed, and the enderman's passive talent was activated and left the place.

But the next moment, an arc of lightning galloped away, and the white horse struck into the Black Forest, and the sound of hitting something did sound.

It was my hand, of course, Akai and I also left a lot of strength accordingly, after all, we are old friends' men, so we won't kill any of them.

"Whew, whew, yes, so fast! No attack at all. ”

Until now, Asami finally understood why Akai and I only let her fight zombies and skeletons at most, the gap between monsters and monsters is too big!

Endermen, because they are dark creatures, have no heat, no breath of life. Teleportation combined with claws coming from behind the shadows is the power of the endermen to gain a high position in the MC world.

And that passive talent, that is, the talent of teleportation since the long-range attack triggered, is simply the nemesis of a magical girl of this type of Ba Asami.

After thinking about it for a while, it seems that the only one who can rely on his ability to deal with these endermen is Xiao Meiyan, who can stop time.

"Keep up."

With that, the magic exploded, and I rushed into the Black Forest in one go.

"Get out of the way!" Akai kicked another enderman into the air with a kick and threw the sword in his hand to Asami, "The ranged attack is ineffective, take this and follow me." ”

After saying that, Akai rushed into the Black Forest with Ba Asami as well.

"Huh? But, but I don't know how to use a sword! ”
