Twilight shoved the few remaining copper oil lamps into Asen's mouth, which felt different to the cotton cloth on the surface, and felt more like fluffy coral fleece, dry, soft, but with a hint of warmth.

What exactly is a Guardian?

Why did Assen appear in front of her and Shikazawa in the image of a ragdoll rabbit?

This is again A's "arrangement"

Is it?

These questions swirled in Twilight's mind, and she pressed them down again.

There are so many doubts in the otaku academy that Twilight has begun to learn not to investigate the parts she doesn't understand for the time being.

If Li Hui only wants to pass the test by herself, she can just fill her own copper oil lamp, not to mention that this lamp oil is made of something, after filling the lamp oil, the copper oil lamp will become very heavy, and she really doesn't need to add a burden to her return.

Unless there is some other use for these lamp oils.

Kurifi and Bluehair had brought out a total of four props—Yuni's red cloak, a wooden longbow, a short knife, and a camouflage blanket covering the ground—but none of them could help them quickly build the rattan bridges.

Twilight held the ring on her little finger and thought for a moment before turning back to retrieve the longbow and camouflage blanket.

If possible, what Twilight wanted most was the short knife that Bluehair had held in her hand before, but unfortunately the knife had been kicked into the bottomless ravine by herself; The red cloak is Yuni's signature piece of equipment, and both Kuri and Blue Hair can get into trouble with it, so Twilight won't move it; All that remains is a longbow and a camouflage blanket.

H hinted that they could get some "very helpful props" in the forest.

And, of course, from other students.

Since Shikazawa didn't plan to leave her with anything other than Asen, Twilight had to do it herself.

She folded the blanket and stuffed it into Arsen's mouth, took the longbow on her back, and stepped back into the fog with a copper oil lamp.

Maybe it's because of the relationship with Shikazawa that broke away from the normal route, and Twilight didn't meet the trials and opportunities mentioned by H along the way.

The first question given to them by the academy was how to cross the deep chasm with no end in sight.

Although there are many easily accessible rattan sticks growing next to the ravine, if there were no unknown props provided by Youni, it would be impossible for the first-graders to build a rattan bridge and easily get lamp oil, and just breaking the flexible rattan with their bare hands can stump some people.

And the first-graders, who flashed in Twilight's eyes before, all had red marks on their hands from the friction of rattans, and they must have suffered a lot of sins while weaving rattan bridges.

Don't know what the next problem will be?

"Do you know of any other creatures in the forest?"

She asked Arsen.

Not to mention the birdsong that had come from the direction of the forest in the mornings before Twilight, even the insect chirping that I could hear when I first entered the forest today was completely gone.

Before, she was bent on catching up with Shikazawa's footsteps, and then she entangled with Kuriya and the others, and it was only now that Twilight found that the forest shrouded in mist was quiet and a little weird.

"I don't know what's in this forest."

Asen scratched his cheek, "I've been confined to the edge of the barrier all along, but someone laid something out in the forest a few days ago, and I can feel that the forest is different from before." ”

Twilight tightened the longbow in her hand and lifted Assen to her shoulder.

"It's more convenient."

She said, motioning for Arsen to hug her neck.

Assen hid rabbit ears in her long hair and glared at her buttoned eyes, wary of Twilight.

Twilight continued to talk to Asen, and it didn't take long for Twilight to feel the fiddling of the brass oil lamp.

The grass has gradually turned yellow, the dry land has become moist, and even the lush trees around it have become sparse and low.

Twilight moves her feet, stopping just as the muddy water is about to reach the soles of her boots.

To be fair, everyone today wears H's designated uniform, which includes her lapel shirt, waistcoat, stockings, and martin boots.

The Martin Boots were originally evolved from the Army's Tactical Boots, and the soles and tops of the boots were specially treated to allow them to be used as weapons, but the Martin Boots provided to them by the Academy had no other purpose than decoration - which is why Twilight had no qualms about kicking the short knife in Bluehair's hand before - and she would never get hurt from it.

Aside from the fact that Martin boots are one of the standard equipment for the academy's rationing, the rare flat shoes, and the limited height of the tube, which can also slightly block the dew on the grass, these boots are nothing special in Twilight's opinion.

But now...... Twilight rubbed her foot against the low bushes next to her, and sure enough, the sticky touch of the soles of her boots wasn't her illusion.

It seems that there is something strange in the quagmire, and the best way is to bypass it completely.

Twilight took Asen along the edge of the quagmire for a while, but the copper oil lamp in her hand shook more and more violently, desperately trying to get her to walk back to the original path, as if the copper oil lamp activated some kind of condition after stepping into the quagmire, which was completely different from the initial appearance of not moving when she followed Shikazawa off the course.

Twilight had to return to the quagmire when the copper oil lamp was almost out of her hands, and began to observe for four weeks.

"Twilight-sama,"

Asen poked her with his hand, "Look over there?" ”

She looked intently at Arsen's small short hand, and there seemed to be something hidden in the high and low bushes.

Twilight pulls out a white feather arrow from her back and carefully fiddles with it twice, but finds nothing.

"Festival of Trees."

Arsen reminded.

The slender branches of the shrub grew knots that only appeared on the trunk of the tree, and Twilight immediately realized that something was wrong.

She poked the raised knot with the tip of her arrow, but nothing happened until she began to carefully pry along the edge of the knot.

It moved strangely.

"What is this?"

She looked at the "snap"

A "knot" that fell to the ground with a bang

, asked Arsen.

"A little thing that makes the bush fully nourished and healthy,"

Asen wrapped his hands around Twilight's neck, "They have little guts, and they will only play dead when they encounter any external stimulus......"

The Mupdoll Rabbit suddenly laughed shyly twice for some reason, "I've seen it in the courtyard of the academy before." ”

Courtyard.

Twilight nodded knowingly, it seems that this is the arrangement of H, who often holds tea parties in the courtyard.

The little creatures come alive as soon as they are forced to leave the bushes, and they spontaneously search for water and fertile soil, and gather together in clusters in the mud pools to form miniature floating islands where they can stay.

Twilight shoved the little things that had been pried off the bushes into the quiver she had taken from Kururi and tossed them back and forth several times, throwing them deep into the mire.

With the help of these little things, she quickly slipped into the depths of the quagmire.

The further she went, the more glad Twilight was that she hadn't stepped into the mire of the unknown.

At the edge of the foothold where the little things gather, there will be strange whirlpools from time to time, as if they want to take something off, but they will always be cleverly avoided by the small things that gather together.

The quagmire was not known to be as deep as the sparse vegetation had almost disappeared, leaving only a few huge trees that were close to the canopy.

Just as Twilight spilled the quiver for the last time and was about to turn back again, she suddenly noticed a familiar rattan tied to the branch in front of her.
