The battle needs to speed up the process...... The apostles' footsteps should also be quickened......

(I'm an exhausted shell...... ）

No matter what kind of game you are in, the merchant is the most admirable depository.

Even in the most dangerous dragon's den, you can also find speculative merchants who diligently repair equipment for dragon slaying warriors and take them out, provide food and drinks, melon seeds, popcorn, small benches, tombstones, urns, etc., and so on.

So it's really not blowing that you need to take risks to do business, and perhaps the only thing worth wondering about is...... How did those profiteers manage to do such a thing as going into the enemy's lair alone?

Luckily, right now in front of me, there is a good person to ask.

"Oh oh oh boy, our store just happened to be opening a big reward, and you can draw the lucky prize of Lance, the ghost beast king, if you shop three times in a row in our store, how about it? Why don't you try your luck? ”

Wearing the same style trench coat, his face was also hidden behind the raised collar, the only difference was that the fragile, jingling glass bottles did not seem to be hidden in the arms of the trench coat.

Originally, I was planning to use the pocket money I had recently saved up to buy items that could restore my academic strength, but it seemed that sneaking into such a place would be quite difficult for the merchant himself, so he chose to give up fragile items - after all, what kind of guy would come here to buy things?

"Oh oh oh oh how? Teenager, would you like to try the latest products? ”

The profiteer, who had no idea of my disappointed expression, leaned over and groped for something in his dirty pocket, and then ......

“…… This is...... What? ”

If it weren't for the fact that I was in a dangerous BETA brood instead of a shady alley behind the bar, I would have almost thought this guy was handing me legendary contraband.

“…… As long as you are a piece of it, you can make the teenager flutter with a good thing."

…… What should I say, looking at this guy's splashing eyes and those pills of different colors, I still feel ......

"Hey, it's the police station, yes, it's a kidnapping of minors here...... Woo......"

The act of calling the police was decisively stopped by the other party, and it seems that this is really not a good thing, right?

“…… Well, well, I know that as long as I meet a teenager, you will become like this, it's really ...... No other customer has ever been so difficult......"

The strange uncle with a "I lost money this time" expression, under my gaze, reluctantly broke off a small piece of one of the tablets and put it in the palm of my hand. Juice Concentrate Fragments (props):

Effect unknown.

Description: The portable solid made by purifying the original liquid state is greatly reduced in effectiveness because it is a fragment.

…… Ah, sure enough, did I underestimate this guy?

Obviously, this time, the product is not a bad thing that lures people to the path of crime, but a special product of better quality than the previous bottle.

"So, Lance, the Ghost Animal King, relies entirely on credibility to speak, how can he casually make inferior goods to harm people......"

"That kind of talk is still exempt...... All in all......"

After weighing the fragments of the pills in my palm a little, I decided to use them for the time being to recover what little academic strength I had left.

System Prompt: You used a prop 『?? Fragments of juice concentrates.

System Prompt: Your Academic Power has recovered to 40 (4) and your current Academic Power is 102 (Charging).

Huh?

The reason why I ignored even the amazing effect and the strange name of the potion for the time being was that it appeared unexpectedly in the system prompt, and the value of zài should not be saved.

Charged? What state is that, and ...... The academic value has obviously broken the table, right?

Confused, I flipped through the system records while trying to find the root cause of the situation, and the result was ......

"Hmm...... It's actually this......"

I drank a special item called "Misaka Juice" in a hurry before, and although it was a reward for the mission, I thought it was similar to the content of the thing sold by the guy in front of me, and I was just eagerly pursuing the effect of academic supplementation.

It's just that the rewards of the mission ...... Sure enough, it's impossible to compare it to something that can be bought casually, right? In Misaka juice, such an effect was unexpectedly attached-

System Hint: Because of the special power attached to Misaka Juice, Makoto Ito has gained the ability to recharge (permanently).

Charging: When using any means to restore fù academic power, you can restore an additional fù10 academic power, and when the academic power is at full value, the excess academic power can be temporarily stored, and the storage limit is 20.

It's really a pretty reliable ability, especially for me, who consumes a lot of academic power, and the extra 20 academic power can undoubtedly be used as a lifesaver at a critical moment.

"How? Juvenile...... Would you like a slice? ”

"Ahhh......h Is it still the same special offer as last time? ”

Breaking away from the unexpected surprise, I used a month's pocket money to forcibly snatch two concentrated tablets from the guy and by the way, I also got the remnants of the "Fu" written on them that had been split up earlier.

"Big Harvest Big Harvest ......"

This kind of harvest is completely beyond my expectations, you know, I have been rescued more than once at critical moments with the help of these magical items that can restore my academic strength, and these items are for me to ensure the hope of survival unless the incident is completely resolved.

"So...... See you next time, boy......"

After the sale was completed, the unscrupulous merchant rolled up his coat and sneakily wanted to slip away, but ......

"Wait a minute"

Call...... It's so dangerous, I almost forgot the original purpose.

According to Saya's words, the search for the so-called "Uncle Coat" is to confirm the way out of this damn brood, after all, now that he has completely lost contact with the outside world, the only person he can rely on is probably this guy - although this guy doesn't seem very reliable anyway.

"The ...... who went out Road? ”

The unscrupulous merchant's previous look of panic vanished when he heard my question.

"Oops, hey, if that's the kind of problem...... The boy will take your companions now and follow this path to the end, and you will naturally see the dawn of the earth."

…… Does this mean that the cave is actually connected to the ground? But......

Seeing my suspicious gaze, the unscrupulous merchant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and carefully explained.

"Originally, it was a dead end here, but just now, the earth's crust was suddenly attacked by some powerful weapon, and it happened to be connected to this store that I had worked so hard to build...... The secret place that I managed to get out is going to be abandoned again......"

Naturally, this guy's complaints were completely ignored by me, but ......

"Powerful...... Weapons? ”

In addition to the Yang Electron Cannon of the Emperor of the Sorrow, there have been things that fired at the ground...... Hmm, wait a minute......

Suddenly, I thought of a possibility, and suddenly I saw hope of escape.

But...... Until then, it seems like there's something else to do?

Looking at the unscrupulous businessman who was happily waiting for me to leave, I unceremoniously spread my palms again.

"As I said before, as long as you buy three times, you can draw a lottery or something......

Naturally, there is no need to reason with this kind of profiteer, and if this guy shows a little bit of "the first time he was beaten, so it shouldn't be counted in the number of purchases", I don't mind beating this guy hard again......

Lucky draw

"Sure enough...... Is that so? Long time sunshine ......"

Blissfully bathed in the sun, in fact, from the time I entered the underground to the time I escaped, I am afraid that the duration did not exceed half an hour, right? However, this breath of light is much more pleasant than the darkness underground.

The remnants of the satellite railgun, which had been shot through the Bird Angel by its great power, penetrated deep into the earth's crust until it was connected to a mysterious store.

And I, who was lucky enough to meet Saya, managed to make my way up with this escape route, and escaped from the underground brood that I never wanted to enter again before I was almost judged dead.

"In the next ...... Have you seen the sky again as a living person......

The voice of the night that had awakened was still a little weak, but its spirit was slowly recovering.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the sun...... And even the world has changed."

Saya's statement...... It's a bit of an exaggeration, but ......"

Bailing Hiiragi School Park,It's really a mess.。

Littered with the corpses of the BETA and the wreckage of the tactical aircraft that blew itself up or was dismembered by the BETA, it seems that the battle on the ground is still going on in the most brutal way even after I go underground.

“…… Communication System ...... No response? ”

Suspiciously, I tried to reconnect with the command room in order to report the good news of the escape to the combat girls, but the relentless sound of electricity made my thoughts turn into a fantasy again and again.

"What the hell is going on?"

I suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in my heart, and then, without hesitation, I drove the driving armor in the direction of the main building where the command room was located. A
