The monsters named [Izumi no Weasel] are only level 10, but due to their movement speed and team cooperation, they can be compared to monsters above level 15 when assembled.

And for the current players of the twentieth layer, the monsters of more than ten levels are not easy to defeat, at least they need reasonable cooperation to be able to kill them.

The Izumi no Weasel has a body about the size of two palms, a sharpened exoskeleton on its small forelimbs, and a pair of gray pupils that can look around like a chameleon, gathering all-round information before taking action.

Their well-developed hind legs give them tremendous power, and their petite bodies scurry through the air and through the trees, swinging their forelimbs to create wind blades to slash and attack.

The half-naked quartet who escaped also saw Natsume and Sophie, who were players from the yellow logo above their heads.

While being chased, he waved at Natsume, and the young man who took the lead in escaping had short green algae-colored hair, and he was pulling out his armor through the representation frame.

"Hurry up and run, two people there! [Izumi no Weasel] is chasing after you!! ”

The three men behind him nodded, panting and picking up speed.

Suddenly, a petite girl with silver-white hair at the back tripped over a stone and fell to the ground, and she hesitated to wear only minimal underwear, so her elbows and knees were all scratched, revealing a painful expression.

The young man who took the lead stopped, and waved his right hand again.

"Stop! Sakurami has fallen! Go back and save her! While I block them with my left shield, you use a wide range of slashes to repel them! ”

Before the words fell, the young man's hair was driven by the wind. Natsume held the Sword of Oath Victory in his hand after passing through him.

Four on the left. Three on the right. Currently, there are two [Izumi no Weasel] that want to use the Wind Blade at close range!

Right ahead!

Standing on the side of the fallen girl, Natsume, who braked with his left foot, confirmed the movement trajectory of [Izumi no Scythe], and they widened their eyes when they wanted to use the Wind Blade in the air, but even if they found that their movement trajectory was predicted, they couldn't do anything to avoid it.

This is the weakness of the Izumi no Weasel, it is very fast, but as long as it can be one step faster than them, it can be easily rounded up as a prey.

The golden-hilt sword slashed down to his lower right. The slashing light flashed, and the two [Izumi no Weasel] that had been cut from their heads instantly turned into data fragments and experience points.

Without stopping, Natsume grabbed the girl who was lying on the ground with one hand, unable to walk because of the wound, and leaned to the side, dodging the wind blade cut from the left side.

They want to move in the other direction, but they are always one step slower.

The [Izumi no Weasel], which had attacked him just now, realized that it needed to be faster after witnessing the process of being dodged, so he went around to the back of Natsume.

However, Natsume, who had already seen through all the movements of the [Izumi no Weasel] around him, took a step back and slashed directly at the Wind Blade with a backhand slash. He spun around and interrupted his slash with a backhand again. Cut the body of the [Izumi no Weasel] that went around the back from the waist.

Moving the front in front of the [Izumi no Weasel] that stayed in place, Natsume crossed and waved the long sword in his hand to intimidate them, as if he had seen a ghost, and the rest of the [Izumi no Weasel] all fled in a hurry and disappeared from view.

"It's pretty much solved."

Seeing that the [Izumi no Weasel] had disappeared, Natsume nodded at his battle process, which was barely passing.

"That, hug, so tight."

Hearing the voice from below, Natsume realized that he was holding the girl in his arms, so he hurriedly let go of her.

Somewhat unsteady on her feet, she was caught by a member of the team who ran over and was treated by another girl.

After a period of respite, the four people who had changed their clothes lined up and bowed their heads to Natsume in unison.

"Thank you so much!!!! ”

It's kind of like a show there, with the movements of the four people being extremely similar.

Being thanked was a little unnatural, Natsume clasped her hands and coughed, responding in a serious voice

"I didn't look at the ......"

“…………”

"Ahem, it's okay, it's just why you took off your armor and armor to fight the [Izumi no Weasel]."

"It's not like that."

The green algae head young man who had warned Natsume before touched the back of his head with some embarrassment.

"Actually, we all met on the road, because we all like to take risks, so we formed a team, and it was a few days, and then Sakura in the team, heard a player say that there was a hot spring nearby, so everyone seemed to take a dip in it, but just after the preparation, they encountered an attack."

"Bathing in a place infested with such monsters? At least send someone to let the wind out, no, even if it is too dangerous, don't come to such a dangerous place until there is an organized battle. ”

"We understand, thank you so much this time, I'm the current regimental commander Defensive Stormtrooper X, this person who looks a little frivolous is the spearman Celit, these two young ladies are the longsword warrior Sakura Mei and Masari."

Seeing that Kox introduced the members of the group one by one, Natsume also introduced himself and Sophie behind him.

All eyes of the four were on Sophie, and they seemed to be interested in the maid.

Perhaps unable to adapt to the human gaze, Sophie lowered her head and clung to the corner of Natsume's clothes.

Now that he had solved the monster attack for them, Natsume waved his hand and walked towards the forest.

At this time, he was stopped by Kerks.

"That, Natsume, are you still going inside now? It's dangerous! ”

"Don't worry, I should be able to handle it at my level, I don't want to go back without soaking in the hot springs."

Specially gave ambiguous answers, they thought they would back down, they looked at each other, and finally said by the representative X

"So, can we go forward with you and soak in the hot springs, we really want to experience it once!"

"No, even if you ......"

Natsume, who wanted to veto, found that his clothes were pulled by Sophieli, did this mean that he agreed?

Or did she want to lure the group inside and eat them as food?

Either way, Natsume wanted to see what choice Sophiri would make.

So Natsume nodded and agreed to the group's companionship.

In order to take a bath, the girl named Sakura Mei was added with a lot of recovery potions, and as long as the wound healed, she could go into the water to take a bath.

They led the group to the corner of the mountain road, and not far ahead, there was a steaming hot spring in a pond surrounded by stones.

"Everyone! Do it again! ”

Probably infected by their atmosphere, Natsume only wore a pair of pants, and took them off after entering the water. (To be continued......)
