After Nep joined the group, the two set off again.

After a short walk, the forest came to an end, and in front of it was an area full of overgrown weeds and scattered shrubs, and in the distance you could see the cascading green hills.

"Finally out of the forest!"

"Hmm."

The four seasons look around, and because the view is much wider, you can see far away.

"There is a way."

"Where, where?"

Nepu followed the direction of the Four Seasons' fingers, and sure enough, he saw a winding road.

"Really! You can find people along that road. ”

"It's very likely."

So they headed in the direction of the road, and just as they passed a bush, several creatures suddenly appeared.

Most of these creatures are green and blue, and the whole is a jelly-like gelatinous body, with no fixed form, the largest one is like a sheep, and the smallest one is the size of a puppy. It is the classic monster that often appears in any adventure story - the slime.

"Enemy? Slime, it's really a standard item in the Novice Trial. ”

He looked dazed, but Nep was unexpectedly vigilant.

"Seems so."

These slimes appeared and rushed in their direction, but the speed was not fast, giving people enough time to react, and it was indeed the legendary novice monster.

"Leave it to me! The Four Seasons helped me just now, and now I'm here to protect you. ”

Maybe he really regarded the four seasons as a child, and Nepu was the first to make a move. As he spoke, Nep did a few warm-up exercises, then deftly did a few somersaults and leaped in front of the slimes.

Shiki didn't stop Nep's actions, and as an intervener, no matter how much he was restricted, he wouldn't lose to a few slimes, and Nep's skills were not affected by amnesia.

"Protect your companions, I feel like my blood is boiling as a hero."

Looking at the enemies around him, Nepu had a eager expression on his face, and his hands reached out in front of him as if he wanted to hold something.

"Hmm...... Nep? ”

And then it froze there.

"Isn't it supposed to give a wooden sword at the beginning!"

"There has never been such a rule."

Just as Nep's stunned kung fu slime pounced, it was too late for Nep to dodge, and a head-sized slime jumped right on her face.

"Nepu ~~~"

Nep took a few steps back, grabbing the slimes with both hands to pull them down, but more slimes wanted to jump on top of her.

The slime is not a powerful monster, and it is much worse than the tigers defeated in the previous four seasons, even if you have to make up for the disadvantage with numbers, as long as you control the position well, you will not be surrounded, and even if you are really entangled, you can't break free. But the truth is always unpredictable, only to see a slime jump to Nep's side, and then Nep falls limply as if he has lost his strength.

"Ahaha!! It's so itchy! ”

Nepu let out an uncontrollable laugh as he fell to the ground, his body writhing but unable to break free. During this time, more slimes climbed up, and their semi-liquid bodies covered the surface of Nep, making her more irritated.

"Hahahaha! No, I'm going to die! ”

Even if he becomes the protagonist who loses to the slime in the opening scene, Nepu can only ask for help.

Before more slimes passed, Four Seasons took action. Sweep the slimes away, and with a thudding sound, the slimes turn into green or blue "balls" one by one.

When all the slimes were in a special state, Nep below was finally revealed, only to see her panting, her cheeks flushed from movement, her eyes staring at the sky in distraction, her clothes were messy due to struggle, and there was still slime on her body.

"Ah~~~ I thought I was going to die."

"It looks like the slime from these slimes isn't corrosive."

Shiki finds that Nep's clothes and body are intact, so he doesn't have to worry about injury.

"Isn't the Four Seasons disappointed that they didn't see my clothes corroded away!"

I don't know which tendon is wrong, which makes Nep think of it.

"Nothing."

"There's no need to hide it, my little brother has also reached this age. But welfare can't be released at the beginning, otherwise no one will buy FD. ”

Nep covered his mouth and smiled evilly.

"So Nepu plans to release benefits in the future?"

"Huh? Be, was a general! ”

“……”

Shiki couldn't figure out what the other party was struggling with, so after thinking about it, he finally decided to ignore it.

"There's nothing wrong with your body, right?"

"Well, I'm fine."

Judging by that heartless smile, it was nothing.

"It's just sticky all over, I really want to take a shower."

Even if Nep wanted to wipe it off, there was nothing she could do, so she finally gave up, and she got up again and looked around at the slimes who had turned into "balls".

"Ah, yes."

As if thinking of something, Nepu ran over to check left and right.

"There you have it!"

“？”

Shiki looked over and saw that Nepu had an extra apple in his hand.

"It's ......"

"Of course you're going to drop props when fighting monsters."

"I see."

That's when Nep found another sandwich.

"I don't know if there's any pudding."

After a while, Nepu searched all around, but she seemed disappointed that she couldn't find the pudding. Ignoring it, in addition to apples and sandwiches, I found a crayon and a wooden sword. There are only four items out of more than ten slimes, plus there is nothing when the tiger was defeated just now, it seems that the dropped items are also random.

Taking the prop handed over by Nep, Shiki was about to take a closer look at it when the mobile phone issued by the park reacted, and a question mark unlocked to reveal the prop. Once you are aligned with the actual item, you can view the properties of the item.

For example-

[Name: Apple of Happiness]

[Level: Paradise Limited]

[Description: After eating, a small amount of stamina will be restored.] ]

[Note: Isn't it taken for granted that you will feel happy eating apples?] ]

Such.

And—

[Name: Wooden Sword]

[Level: Paradise Limited]

[Description: Deal a small amount of damage when attacking enemies.] ]

[Notes: This is a wooden sword for beginners.] ]

Such.

The park is supposed to be limited to the fact that there are special effects only here, and in general there is no difference from ordinary items.

These things are basically useless, and after handing over the wooden sword to Nep, Shiki put the rest away.

"Don't you eat in all seasons?"

"It's still early until lunch, and I'm not hungry right now."

"That's right."

As he spoke, Nep's stomach rang, and it seemed that both he and his body were very honest.

"Want to eat?"

"Hmm!"

Nepu cheered happily and took the apple and sandwich from the Four Seasons.
