In the early morning, I don't know if it's daytime, but the sky in the twilight forest hasn't changed since we woke up, and the stars are still twinkling in the dim sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But it's much brighter than at night.

It seems that this world has a difference between day and night, and it doesn't look like the next ghost place.

Stretching our muscles, Akai and I dug out some food from our backpacks and ate breakfast one bite at a time with water.

Since coming into this world, Akai and I have developed the habit of eating three meals a day for some reason. Really, breakfast is dispensable in the real world. On the contrary, after arriving in this world, I suddenly became more serious.

After breakfast, the old goat came to us at some point.

"It seems that you have woken up. The old goat narrowed his eyes.

I scratched my head and said, "Um, what's the next thing to call that one..." ”

"Naga." Akai added from the side.

"Oh yes, Naga, just kill that snake and get it back, right?"

[Exactly.] The old goat nodded in satisfaction.

[In addition, you should not stay in this world for too long, you still have to act quickly. The old goat seems to remember something.

"What do you mean?" For a moment I seemed to understand what the old goat meant.

[The twilight world is not as good as the main world, and there is a certain deflection between the two worlds. This means that if you have been in this world for too long・・・・・・ years may have passed by the time you return to the Overworld. 】

！！！

Akai and I were surprised, but when we thought about it, it made sense.

After all, the next Hell trip, when we come back, time will pass very quickly, right? Then this time it is estimated that the same situation is the same.

"Ahh Akai sighed.

"Indeed." I got up from the ground, patted my clothes, and tidied up, "Let's go." ”

Shaking his head violently, Akai patted his cheek to make himself more sober, and then followed.

The old goat stood silently, watching us walk away until it disappeared from sight.

[Now, we can only hope that they can break this cage.] 】

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

"Hey, isn't there really anything wrong with that?" Akai said with a black line on his face.

"No road race! There's absolutely nothing wrong with that! I pointed to the dense woods ahead.

Five minutes later.

"Okay, I was wrong・・・・・・ "I said a mouthful of old blood when I committed it again. Well, it's the same woods all around, so you can't blame me, right? Right?

"I'll find the way, it's a mistake to hand it over to you!" Looking for a tree that looked relatively tall, Akai climbed up in three or two clicks.

Arriving at the top of the tree, most of the forest was seen by Akai.

"Yo hoo~ I didn't expect this place to be unexpectedly beautiful." The colorful foliage may not be obvious in the Enchanted Forest, but once you look down from above, the forest will make for a magnificent picture in your eyes.

The color of a sea of flowers.

"Ahh Found it, that clearing should be it. After looking around, Akai finally found where we were going.

Then, following the direction Akai had indicated, the two of us slowly walked towards the place.

Speaking of which, the world is actually not very deserted.

Along the way, in addition to the occasional bird flying in the woods and in the sky, we were able to spot some other wild animals.

For example, now.

"Hey! Look, Akai, what did we find? There's a lone wild boar here. We can try..." Before I could finish speaking, I was knocked by Akai.

"Catch a ball! Have you forgotten what we are here for? Besides, I don't like to eat wild boar. ”

"That last sentence is what you really think, bastard!"

Wild boars, antelopes, fawns and even rabbits are densely packed in this forest, and we walked along the way but did not frighten them, perhaps because we had never seen humans.

Finally, through the dense woods, we finally came to a wide place.

It is a place that looks like a ruin, with a wide platform, scattered masonry and stone laid flat on the ground, and several pillars erected here and there, without any pattern to speak of.

The platform was surrounded by a wall, and after going around the circle, we finally found the entrance.

"So, where are the things we're looking for?" The platform is so spacious that it doesn't seem like there's anything to hide.

In fact, at a glance, we spotted a chest in the middle of the platform.

Although we found the box, we were quite sensible not to go straight to it. In the long life of fighting and mining, we have learned more than just fighting and mining. We don't rush over and pick up something good when we see it, because no one knows what danger will be encountered in the next moment, so we will be very careful to carefully check if there are any monsters in the surrounding environment, or if there are any hidden mechanisms.

You see, greed is the greatest sin that drives mankind to go wrong.

In any situation, sanity is essential.

A fireball condensed in my hand and threw it haphazardly forward.

The fireball streaked through the air in a red arc and smashed into the ground, creating a small piece of charred ground.

With a random blow, I can easily inflict such a level of fire damage as a fire-type archmage, and if I had done it before, I would have only been able to do it for a period of time.

However, I didn't get any response to the idea of startling the snake, and the huge platform was still very quiet, and there was no big animal about to pop out of a place.

"Could it be the snake named Naga sleeping?" This place looks so weird, I don't dare to just go in.

"Shall we build a bridge over it and sneak it into our hands?" Akai has a good suggestion.

But soon we vetoed it, after all, in addition to retrieving the old goat's wool, we also had to kill Naga to get the key to the portal.

After weighing it to no avail, we had to bite the bullet and break into this place that seemed very dangerous, as for why it was dangerous to look at? Such a large platform, it's obviously the place where the boss fights!

Is there a recovery item hidden behind some stone pillar? I complained very unscrupulously in my heart.

We walked quietly all the way to the target box, and we didn't encounter any accidents.

"Uh, it's open." I looked around, this land is simply an ideal place to build a home, big and flat・・・・・・ I'm sorry, I have committed an occupational disease again.

Shaking my head, I beckoned Akai to open the box, while I was on guard and buried the [Fire Trap] and [Frost Trap] on the ground.

As for whether any creature will step on it? Whatever, bury it!

"Well, I'm open!" Akai said, slowly opening the box.

Creak!

The moment the box opened, the ground suddenly shook.

"It's coming out!" In an instant, I was ready to fight, and a large number of buff spells were blessed by me and Akai, and a huge fireball was condensed in my hand, ready to go, as long as there was any wind and grass, I did not hesitate to throw the fireball in my hand.

Akai opened the box, didn't look at the contents, put it all in his backpack, and then turned around and took the bow and arrow in his hand.

"Underground!" Feeling the ground shaking more and more, Akai said that the enemy was probably hiding underground, but there was nothing we could do but wait for the other party to come out.

After a nervous moment, Akai felt his feet seem to tremble more and more.

Knowing something in an instant, Akai jumped off the ground he had been stepping on.

The next moment, the ground cracked, the smoke filled, and a huge figure emerged from the ground under the shroud of smoke and dust, standing high on the ground. Looking through the smoke and dust, a pair of huge scarlet eyes were emitting a red light that even the smoke and dust could not stop, which was terrifying.

Hiss hiss!!!

"Eat my big fireball>_
