In order to collect the materials for the magic sword, this time they walked into a stalactite cave according to the prompts of the "Mission System" - the cave is full of stalactites with their own luminous effects and glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, and everything in the cave can be clearly seen without torches.

"Brother Leeds, it's so beautiful here—ah!" The scene in the cave was not too touched, but for the nightshade, it was a scene that he had not seen in his life for more than ten years, and he couldn't help but relax his vigilance, and his feet slipped and fell backwards.

Seeing the nightshade circling in place, Liz, who knew that this girl was going to fall, hugged her in time, and then said angrily: "Please, I know that the stones in this cave are wet and slippery, so pay attention." ”

"Hug, sorry...... "Nightshade, who has to hug Liz from behind every day so as not to be thrown off, originally thought that he was used to this kind of physical contact...... Now leaning into Liz's arms, I don't know why my heart trembles.

"It's really ......" If Leaz noticed this, he would definitely hit the snake with the stick, but unfortunately, his attention at this time was completely focused on other places, and he even let go of such a superior opportunity to pick up the girl, so he simply picked up the nightshade and looked at the glow-in-the-dark mushroom bush not far away, "Such a wonderful environment, no matter how you think about it, there will be monsters, your Royal Highness the princess who has no combat effectiveness, but you have to remind the spirit of the twelve." ”

“！” As soon as the monster was mentioned, the nightshade also came to his senses all of a sudden.

Although I have encountered monsters like in "Butterfly Valley", even if they can't be said to be "friendly to people", they can be said to be "harmless to people", but it is not wrong that most of the monsters encountered on this trip are ferocious, even if Leez charges into battle and is escorted by dogs, you still have to be careful.

In a cave where there was no convective wind, the glow-in-the-dark mushroom shook lightly twice.

"Come out, little monster, or do you want me to blast you out?" Sensing the weakness of the other party, Leeds did not pull out the peachwood sword...... Then again, at this point, Liz's low-level spells were more than enough to handle most situations.

Liz said so, and the little monster hiding could only run out-

"I, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Woo~~ Daddy, what should I do, that big dog looks very powerful~!"

"Don't kill us, we've never hurt anyone......"

Well, even with the extraordinary perception attached to the system, Klitz still doesn't know what kind of monster this is, if you really want to forcibly name it, it's about "Little Boar Demon"? The word 'small' is very important because even the adult youkai called 'Daddy' standing at the front is also very small.

According to the point of view of a character named "Kotori Yu Sota", "Little Can Be Loved", not to mention their short legs and cute faces, make the cuteness attribute superimposed.

"Okay, it's so cute~~ Come here, my sister will give you something to eat~~" Nightshade has probably forgotten that these things are monsters......

"You, are you fooling us!" The little monster said sharply.

"No...... I just think you're cute......"

"No, in general, that's fooling...... They all treat each other as pets. Liz shook his head and took a step forward to block the little monster that looked weak but couldn't confirm that the other party had any special skills without moving his hand, lest it suddenly shoot 100,000 volts and kill his own oil bottle teammates in seconds.

"We're here in search of a rare ore that is not hostile to you." It's better to say that even he wants to choose the smallest demon to play with.

“…… Could it be ...... No way! That thing can't be given to you! "The little monsters seem to know what the rare ore Leeds is talking about, and at the same time, the ore has an impact on their lives.

"It's not up to you, [Thunder Spell]!" Armed with thunder and lightning in order to pretend to be forced, "Hand it over, or die!" ”

“…… Woo~! "Obviously, they can't even carry Lez's low-level immortal arts, and it's even more obvious that compared to life, what crystals are not so important.

"Don't worry, tell me about your difficulties, maybe I can help you find a solution~~"

For the sake of cuteness, it's an extra service.

“…… What do you think? Nightshade stared at Liz's every move, unwilling to let go of the slightest.

"Hmm...... Honestly, it's not a good deal," Liz put down the grilled fish in his hand and gave a fair assessment, "Still, I can't seem to be much better than you in this condition." "Sakuya's words are different, that's professional.

"Great~~" Nightshade said happily, since Liz gave her the "Pei Ye-style Field Cooking Course", she has practiced and tried along the way, and now she can finally make something reliable.

"Hehe, show this skill to your brother when you have time~" Seeing her so happy, Liz couldn't help but laugh.

“…… It's not at all comparable to what is in the royal palace. Nightshade lowered her head, she was self-aware, not expecting to compete with people who make a living from cooking, so she used her hands a little when camping in the wilderness to make some food with "nutritional needs" that were higher than "taste needs".

"Give." Liz picked up the nightshade's portion of the grilled fish and shoved it in front of her.

“？” Although I didn't know what it meant, Nightshade took it and nibbled on it in small bites...... The more you bite, the happier you get.

She kind of understood.

"The same taste, made by different people, completely different things~" Liz is also dealing with the grilled fish in his hand, "Sister's work, Long Yang will definitely be happy to use it~"

“…… Well! ”

"Okay, from now on, I will prepare the lunch and dinner materials for camping, and you will handle the rest~ Let the cooking skills go further!" Actually, he's just a little tired of cooking by himself.

"Hmm~!" Still, even so, nightshade is happy...... I finally feel that I am a little useful, and I am much more motivated to pick up my share of grilled fish and gnaw on it.

"It's a pity...... It's a little bit like the end of the journey...... Seeing the nightshade so positive, Liz couldn't help but regret.

"............" nightshade also showed a similar expression, but the content of the two 'regrets' was not the same.

The journey involving more than a dozen high-level materials has been going on smoothly without much to mention, and now only the farthest [Wraith Crystal] located in the far south has not been obtained. (Actually, there is also [Virgin's Blood])

In other words, the journey between the two is coming to an end. (To be continued.) )
