Thinking that there was no information about Rosalia anyway, he went to ask an informant, and found something surprising in the information. There is a well-known player named Silica on this floor, and there seems to be a person named Rosalia among the players who team up with Silica.

That's when I first learned that Celica was a celebrity, but what surprised me even more was that he was just as much a "beast tamer" as I was.

And according to the man, Rosalia is the kind of criminal player who will hunt down the players she has targeted. He must have taken Celica, who is a celebrity and a "beast trainer", as a suitable prey.

If you can get in touch with Sirika, you may be able to get information about Rosaria, or meet Rosaria herself, although it is not a mission, but you may also hear from other "animal tamers".

With this in mind, Lilan and I stepped into the Lost Forest on the thirty-fifth floor to the north. This forest is arguably the best place for intermediate players who are not in the Raiders group to level up and find items. But for me and Lilan, there are more important memories here.

"It's here, in the forest where I met Lilan."

My voice made Lilan's face look calm.

"That's right. I met you here last December. After all, it's still January 5th. We've only known each other for so long. ”

When I met Lilan, it was a series of surprises. The dragon, which had never been seen before, suddenly appeared, and when it assumed a fighting stance, it did nothing. You come and give me the props, and it will evolve, and I will say that you will become my "darling", and then I will become the "animal trainer......

"Anyway, when I met this guy, a lot of unexpected things happened, and I don't understand why." Even so, he did not regret throwing rare items at Lilan at that time, or becoming a "beast tamer".

"I really didn't expect such a reliable person to join us. Then again, Lilan, what about your memory? Anything comes to mind? ”

The wolf dragon next to him shook his head and strode forward. If you pay attention to its face, you will see an annoyed expression that reminds you of a cloudy sky.

"Never. I don't remember anything important. Her appearance changed twice, and she became stronger...... But there was no progress in memory. If I had to say anything, it would be that I understand what you're talking about every time I evolve...... That's how it feels.

"What? If you can understand what we say, you will be able to read the classics, sword skills, and so on. ”

"Ahh I don't know why, but I'm starting to understand it. Maybe it's because I'm living with you, but ...... I seem to have some important memories.

Lilan is fluent in speech and always pretends to understand our words and conversations before speaking, but at the end of the day, Lilan is a resident of this world and nothing more than an NPC. Just being an NPC means it's an AI, but I can only think that this guy will think and speak for himself like he has a heart.

The AI of this world is supposed to react according to a variety of patterns, and because of this, it can speak like a living heart. But originally, they just talked, without thoughts and hearts. Therefore, the phrase Flashlight Asuna said at the end of December that "the inhabitants of this world have no heart" is true.

Lilan should be just one of them, but he thinks, worries, and speaks as if he really has a heart. I can only think that they are having a conversation after knowing our hearts and words.

"I've been thinking about this question since Lilan joined me, but when will I find the answer?" And what exactly is Lilan's lost memory? There are so many things that really bother me that I really want to clarify them.

"Well, I'm curious about your memories too, so even if I find it in the end...... It's okay if you die, run again. ”

"What are you talking about? I'm not going to die

"No, you also have vitality, and if you run out of it, you will die, and it seems that using it in three days will bring you back to life."

"Although I said I would never die. Did you find that information from someone online? You seem to be reading something interesting.

"That's right." When I was looking for information about Rosalia, the first thing that caught my eye was the information on "The Animal Tamer", and I read it with all my attention. Then I found out that I could get a "familiar" resurrection item called Pneuma Flower in the Hill of Memories on the 47th floor.

When I told him about it, Lilan nodded in agreement.

"I see. If so, shouldn't that item be owned by you? There is no guarantee that I will not have an accident in the future.

"yes. The battle will be more fierce in the future...... Let's go there just in case we get killed and put Rosalia in prison. And that place...... Shino seems to be very happy. It's a place

"What. What's that......"

At that moment, Lilan paused and turned her face to the depths of the forest. His expression was close to asking something.

"What's wrong, Lilan?"

“…… I felt the scent coming from the depths of the forest. You're the same player. Moreover, I also felt the presence of monsters like me. There are 1 player and 3 monsters. And the monster seems to be quite strong. ”

I couldn't help but widen my eyes as I looked at the reports that seemed to be using the enemy-searching skill, but then realized that now was not the time. The number of monsters is 3 and the number of players is 1. It doesn't matter if the monster is a small person, but if the monster has a strong sense of existence, the enemy that the player encounters is the strongest enemy in this layer, the drunken ape.

"Isn't that dangerous!?"

"Yes. Ride on my back, Kirito. If you don't want your players to die, we can help! …… Probably an orange player! ”

"Whether he's a bad guy or not, you'll check later! I'll help you first! ”

"I jumped on Lilan's back." In boss battles, you can only fill the "Human Dragon Meter", but since this is only a field, you can not use the "Human Dragon Meter" to recharge. As soon as she stepped onto Lilan's back and grabbed him tightly, Lilan kicked on the ground and ran up at once, exercising her muscles vigorously.

There was a whistling sound of wind in my ears, and my body shook violently. If you look around, you will see many large trees passing by. Lilan can run countless times faster than the player's sprint, and her body is light. Proof of this is that I have not had a conflict with my own mind since a long time ago.

Just when he felt like he was on a rollercoaster ride in the real world, Lilan raised her voice.

"Found you, Kirito! There are 3 monkeys 100 meters in front and 1 player in the back! It looks like the situation is dangerous! ”

I did as I was told, defying the wind, and looked ahead, and sure enough, as Lilan said, I saw three drunken apes and a player.

The player seems to be cornered, sitting motionless on the ground. And, the drunken ape is trying to smash the player with the club in his hand. I can do it as it is.

"Run again, blow them away with your breath!!"

When I instinctively gave the command, Lilan opened her mouth wide and spewed flames from the depths of her body, firing three fireballs. Three fireballs pierced the air at great speed, and exploded on the back of the drunken ape.

The three-headed ape was about to attack the player who had trapped them just now, when they were engulfed in explosive flames and blasted into polygonal pieces. Almost immediately after that, Lilan came up to the player who was being attacked by the monkey, and I immediately jumped out of Lilan and approached the player who was still sitting on the ground.

- A girl wearing yellow armor, a short ponytail with pale brown hair tied into a double ponytail with a red hairpin, and dark brown eyes.

The player who saved me ignored me and grabbed the pale blue feather that had fallen to the ground, and burst into tears. It's safe for now, but there's no doubt that something happened.

"What happened to those feathers?"

The girl sobbed and whispered in reply.

“…… Pina. She's my dear...... Friends ......"

"Pina" is probably this girl's partner...... In other words, "acquaintances". This young girl is an "animal trainer". And that "acquaintance" was probably killed by those drunken apes.

If Lilan had attacked earlier, no, if I had acted earlier and given instructions to Lilan earlier, this would not have happened. Paddy field.

"I'm sorry, I can't help your friend......"

"No, I was an idiot, I thought I could walk through the forest alone...... Pina......

The girl shook her head and turned her face to me and Lilan. Her face was full of tears.

"Thank you for helping me..."

"But...... Your dependents ......"

Just then, I heard a "voice" from Lilan, who was standing behind me.

"Kirito, the feathers on that man's body...... Can't you just use that?"

"What's that?"

"The resurrection item you said was a demon making item. Now it's time to use it

"At the time, I was taken aback." That's right, if you get a "demon" resurrection item from an informant and use it on this girl, maybe you can resurrect her "demon". Thinking of this, I knelt in front of the girl.

"Does that feather have a set item name?"

The girl made a look of realization and tapped the feather in her hand with her index finger. A small window rises from the wing, revealing a name. "Pina's Heart" is the symbol of Pina, the girl's "family".

Seeing Pina's heart, the girl burst into tears again, panicked, and called out again.

"Don't cry, if you still have something in your heart, there is still a chance to be resurrected."

The girl raised her head slightly, met my gaze, and then the corners of her mouth moved slightly.

"Really"

"Ahh On the 47th floor, the deepest part of the wild labyrinth called the Hill of Memories is a demonic item that can be used to resurrect demons. That's right. ”

The girl's face suddenly lit up. Just as I was thinking this, I immediately returned to normal and my shoulders drooped.

"47 floors...... At my level, you can't reach ......"

I unconsciously folded my arms and let out a slight moan.

According to those sources, on the 47th floor of the Memory Hill, there seems to be a "familiar" resurrection item called the Spirit Flower, which does not seem to appear unless a Beast Tamer is dispatched.

Just as I was thinking this, Lilan's "voice" sounded in my head.

"Hey Kirito. What are you worried about? You are the "Beast Tamer". Maybe we can bring some spirit flowers to replace this girl. ”

"Ah, no, no." Think about it, I'm an "animal trainer". Although he says he has Lilan, he sometimes forgets that he is an "animal tamer". Maybe it's because I've always been a solo player.

"Okay. I'll take your place. I'm also an "animal tamer", so I can go to the 47th floor and cause events. Bring it back to you—"

"Wait, Kirito"

"Lilan interrupted me again, and I stopped talking."
