Zhang Yu took Sirika to the forty-seventh floor of the "Hill of Memories" and had a good breakfast. When I walked out onto the street, the sun was shining brightly over the town. Day-type players who are ready to set off on an adventure, and Night Cat players who have just returned from a late-night hunt, staggered by with opposite expressions.

After replenishing potion recovery items at the prop shop next to the hotel, the two set off for the transfer gate square. Soon the two arrived at the transfer door, and just as they were about to fly into the teleportation space that glowed with blue light, Zhang Yu stopped, and suddenly remembered that Sirika's level might be a little low.

"Although there is its own protection, there will be no problems. But it's still good for her to have a little more self-preservation, and she won't be too panicked in case of emergencies. ”

With a move of his fingers, he began to mobilize the parcel bar and initiate a transaction request to Sirika.

Celica looked at the translucent system trading window that suddenly appeared in front of her. Turning his head, he saw Zhang Yu operating the same window at hand. The names of the items in the trading bar appear one after the other. "Bright Kaijia", "Night Cat Shortsword...... Each one is something that has never been seen.

"The ......"

Just as Sirika opened her mouth in confusion, Zhang Yu smiled in a friendly tone and said, "These equipment are enough to reach about level eight or nine, so that your life can be guaranteed in case of emergencies." ”

Sirika lowered her head and said with a slightly hot face, "I'm bothering you again, Uncle Yu." ”

The corners of Zhang Yu's mouth showed a helpless wry smile and looked at the petite and cute little Lori beside her, with brown and yellow hair tied with red ribbons and double ponytails.

"Alas...... I was really defeated by her. Uncle Yu is Uncle Yu, tired heart. ”

Celika went to the trading window and filled in the full amount of Kehl she had in her trading field. There are more than ten kinds of equipment props proposed by Zhang Yu, and all of them are rare props that are not for sale.

"That...... Although I guess this amount should be completely insufficient......"

"Don't give me money. Anyway, these are useless things, and this can be regarded as a welcome gift for your little niece...... Let's go, in order to bring your Bina back to life sooner. ”

Zhang Yu said with a broken smile, and at the same time pressed the OK button without penny.

"Ah...... I don't know the name of the town on the forty-seventh floor yet......"

Hearing Celika say this, Zhang Yu smiled and stretched out his right hand to her.

"It's okay, I know. It's up to me to specify. ”

So Sirika shyly shook Zhang Yu's hand.

"Transfer! Floria!"

The dazzling light and Zhang Yu's voice spread out at the same time, surrounding the two of them.

Immediately after the instantaneous sensation of teleportation, when the effect light dissipated, Sirika's vision immediately burst into a variety of colorful colors.

"Wow, ah......hhh

Sirika couldn't help but let out a cheer.

The main street district is covered with countless flowers. The narrow road crosses the circular square, while the rest of the place is a brick-walled flower garden in which unknown flowers and plants compete for beauty.

"It's spectacular......"

"People used to call this floor the Garden of Flowers, and not only the streets, but also the entire floor were covered with flowers. If you have time, you can also go to the [Giant Flower Forest] in the north. ”

"It's going to be fun for the next time!"

Smiling at Zhang Yu, Sirika squatted down in front of the flower garden. Then lean your face closer to the pale blue flowers that resemble cornflowers, and smell their fragrance.

"When we were on the forty-seventh floor, Asuna and I had already walked around. It's good to continue to take her around next time you have time, and it should be okay to take your niece around now. ”

Zhang Yu glanced around and saw the figures strolling along the path among the flowers, almost all of them were men and women. Everyone is holding hands, otherwise they are hooking their hands and talking and laughing happily as they walk.

Celica glanced up at Zhang Yu, who was standing idle.

"--Will other people see me and me like this......

Celica's cheeks instantly turned red as she thought about these things, and her mouth screamed from Uncle Yu. I still call Brother Yu in my heart. She said energetically:

"Let's go...... Let's go! Go to the practice area!"

"Hmm."

Zhang Yu nodded, and walked side by side with Celica.

Even outside the Transfergate Square, the main street of the town is also buried in a sea of flowers. Celica and Zhang Yu walked side by side, remembering the situation when they met Zhang Yu yesterday. She couldn't believe it hadn't been a day since then. The presence of "Uncle Yu" in his heart has reached this point.

Zhang Yu didn't make much of a move along the way, and let Celica face it herself. After five or so battles, Sirika finally got used to the appearance of monsters and the process of fighting alone, and the two of them quickly digested the itinerary smoothly and quickly.

The monsters encountered are basically [Man-eating Flowers]. The dark green stems are as thick as a human arm, and the roots are divided into multiple branches that firmly step on the ground. The stalks, or the tops of the body, have large yellow flowers that resemble sunflowers, and a mouth full of teeth in the center is wide open, revealing what appears to be a poisonous red color on the inside.

Two plump vines protrude from the center of the stalk, and its arms and mouth are its assault weapons.

Although Sirika was a little at a loss when she encountered a monster that looked a bit like a sea anemone. was even tied up by mucus-stained tentacles, and at one point thought he was about to pass out.

"It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and I can't keep her as a nanny uncle."

Zhang Yu still didn't make a move, and only used his sword to bounce off the attack when Sirika was in danger. The distribution of experience points for team raiders is calculated based on the proportion of damage given to monsters. Because she kept defeating high-level monsters, her experience points increased at a rate several times higher than usual, so her level immediately increased by one level.

The two of them walked across a small bridge over a small river, and at the other end of the bridge they could see a hill that was a little high. The road winds around the hill to the top of the hill.

"That's the Hill of Memories."

"Doesn't that look like a fork in the road?"

"yes. You just need to climb up and don't worry about getting lost. But there are a lot of monsters, and you must not let up later. ”

"Yes!"

One more time, just one more time, Bina can be resurrected. As soon as Sirika thought about this, her pace naturally quickened.

As Zhang Yu said, after stepping into the mountain road full of colorful flowers, the probability of encountering monsters increased in one go, and the size of plant monsters also increased. However, the black dagger in Sirika's hand is more powerful than expected, and most of the monsters can be eliminated by performing a set of combos.

Speaking of being stronger than expected, Zhang Yu's strength is even more bottomless.

When he saw that he could slaughter three drunken apes in one blow, Sirika expected that he was a fairly high-ranking swordsman, but even when he came to a place twelve floors higher than there, that surplus did not disappear at all. Even if there were multiple monsters at the same time, he would be able to destroy them immediately, leaving only one, and help Sirika from the side.

But the more so, "What is the purpose of such a high-level player to reach the thirty-fifth layer?" The more lingering the doubts. Although it can be known from Zhang Yu's statement that he went to the Lost Forest for a certain purpose, there are no rumors that there are any rare items or special monsters there.

Unbeknownst to Celica, she herself was one of the goals.

As Sirika thought about waiting for the adventure to end and asked, and kept wielding her dagger, the angle of the winding path became more and more urgent. As they continued to repel the monster's increasingly powerful attacks, passing through rows of towering trees—the top of the hill.

"Wow......!"

Celica couldn't help but take a few steps forward and let out a cheer.

This is a place that fits the description of the sky flower field very well. Surrounded by trees, beautiful flowers fill the open space.

"It's finally here."

Zhang Yu, who approached from behind, put the sword into the sheath behind his back and looked at Celica with a cheerful face with a smile.

"The flower...... Just, ...... here?"

"Hmm. Isn't there a rock near the center? It's right at the top of that......"

Before Zhang Yu finished speaking, Celika had already run out. In the middle of the flower field there is indeed a large rock that glows white. Breathless, she ran to the chest-high rock, peeking out of horror above the rock.

At the top of the sunken rock, there was only a short line of grass growing on it, and nothing resembling a flower could be seen at all. Just when Sirika had tears in her eyes and was about to ask Zhang Yu.

In the soft haystack, a thin bud is growing. Like the fast-moving movies I watched in biology class in the past, the thin shoots grew tall and thick quickly. Soon, a large flower bud is formed at the tip. The part that swelled into teardrops and shone with pure white brilliance did glow pearly from within.

As Sirika watched with bated breath, the tip of the bud slowly bloomed - a scythe sounded, and the entire bud opened, and particles of light flew in the air.

Zhang Yu also showed a reassuring smile, and the plot was not wrong. Although there is no Soul Flower, Sirika is alive. But to make the little niece happier, Zhang Yu is still very relieved.

For a long time Celica remained motionless, staring at the white flower that seemed to bloom as if it were a small miracle. Seven tiny petals unfurled like starlight, and the light continued to flow out very softly from the center, and finally dissipated in the air.

Celica, who felt that she couldn't touch it with her hands, quietly looked up at Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu smiled softly and nodded slightly.

Celica nodded as well, and gently extended her right hand to the flower. When her hand touched the silk-thin stalk, it shattered like ice cubes, leaving only the flowers in Celica's hand. She held her breath and tapped her finger on the surface, and the name window popped out silently. 【Flower of the Soul】

"With this...... You can bring Bina back to life, right......"

"Yes, just sprinkle the water droplets stored in the flowers on the [Demon Heart]. However, there are too many powerful monsters here, so it would be better to wait until you get back to town. Bear with us a little longer, and we'll rush back at once. ”

"Yes!"

Celica nodded heavily, opened the main window and placed the flowers on it. Once you've made sure that the flower is in your inventory, close the window.

To be honest, Sirika was tempted to fly home with the transfer crystal in one go, but she managed to take a step forward. After all, high-priced crystals are something that should only be used in the face of a real crisis and at a critical moment.

Thankfully, there were almost no monsters encountered on the way home. They reached the foot of the mountain at a galloping speed.

After an hour's walk through the streets, you can see Bina again
