After being able to move and recovering everyone, the info plays.

'Konoha's level has reached 16. Evolution is possible.''

Oh! It looks like Konoha's level reached 16 in the earlier battle.

Let's take a look at it as soon as possible.

Snow Owl.

The same one as Gray. Let's see the description too.

Snow Owl...An owl that lives near the top of mountains and in extremely cold regions. They specialize in fighting in the snow and are highly intelligent. It is feared by climbers, who call it the Owl of Mischief.

Looks strong. Time to evolve.

Name: Konoha Spotted Owl Lv. 16 -> Snow Owl Lv. 1

Life force 38 to 48.
Magical power 46 to 51.
Strength 26 to 36.
Defensive Strength 24 to 34.
Agility 30 to 40
Dexterous value 46 to 56.

skill

Surprise Lv 14 Flight Lv 18 -> Flying Lv 18 Claw Lv 8 -> Ice Claw Lv 8 Feather Thrower Lv 1 Night Eye Lv 11 -> Night Vision Lv 11　
Concealment Lv 10 -> Air Interceptor Lv 10 Wind Magic Lv 14 Water Magic Lv 10 Ice Magic Lv 15 Ice Blade Lv 1 Cold Resistant Lv 1

The evolved Konoha is a little bigger and more fluffy. When you touch it, it looks like real snow.

The new skills are flying, feather throwing, night vision, blocking of signs, ice blade and ice claws.

Since it's a good time, let's have him show me his skills.

First of all, my flight speed has increased. And most importantly, acrobatic flight is now possible for Konoha. I guess this is the ability to fly.

Next, feather throwing. When Konoha flapped its wings, countless white feathers flew out. I thought this was all it was, but the place where these feathers hit was freezing. Scary!

I don't understand night vision. Awareness blocking is still a skill that makes you invisible. And the ice blade freezes Konoha's wings, and in the next moment, he slashes off a tree branch in passing. When I grab that branch with my ice claws, it freezes.

Yeah, Konoha looks like a complete assassin. Well, owls are originally called forest ninjas, so maybe it can't be helped.

After watching Konoha, I've recovered most of the time, so I'm going to dismantle the guardian ice spirit.

As I said at the beginning, the guardian ice spirit was terribly strong, but she was a beautiful woman.

Holding a knife on that beautiful lady is conscientiously bad.

Eeee! I'm sorry!

Disassembly results are here.

Demon Ice Stone: Rare Level 5 Material Item Quality D
A stone with powerful ice magic. Used to make weapons. Has a high chance of being given the ice attribute.

Sapphire: Rare Level 5 Material Item Quality D
A sapphire gemstone in the rough. Makes a beautiful blue gemstone when processed.

Ice Stone: rare degree 5 Material Item Quality D
A stone that possesses the attribute of ice. It is used to make weapons and magical stones.

Thank you, sister. No, sister. I won't let your death be in vain. That was our defeat, though. But I have a feeling this is going to be a war.

"What fell?　Tact.

Is it good?

Lilly and the others will ask. You can't stop answering them. The result.

'If there's a weapon of ice, it's me!

Wait!　Aeon's using a glass weapon, so it's Lily's turn to be next!　Stone!

'There are no such rules!　Please don't make it on your own!

A battle between Lily and Ion occurred at the Demon Ice Stone.

''If it's a gem, it's me!

'Wait!　If it's magic, I can use it. I have a right to it!

'Love fire... are you going to defy your sister?'

I don't care if you're my sister or not!

A battle breaks out between Setia and Love Fire over the Sapphire. It's surprising that the love fire doesn't pull back against Setia.

So you ask me what's going to happen in the end. But there's nothing I can do about it now. You can ask Mr. Crow for the magic ice stone, but I have a feeling that would be a betrayal of Hephaistos. So I'm going to take it home with me. Ditto for the sapphire.

For now, I'm going to take a break and eat with Lily and the others, and then I'm going to gather some food. We'll be stuck in this jam if we don't get there first.

The members of the team are Hiyori, Gail, Sabik, Soroko, and Luna, and as we explore the surroundings, we find our first monster.

Runaway Chicken Lv 9.
Normal Monster Target Active

The chickens were running around in groups, glaring at each other.

It's a surreal sight... but if it's a chicken, we'll have to kill it.

Gail and the lone child pounced and led the runaway chickens towards us.

'Bottomless Swamp!'

Drop me in the mud. Clogged by everyone's magical attacks.

Sabik bit the runaway chicken that was trying to escape and tightened his grip on it.

Dismantling the runaway chicken gave him something to be happy about.

Runaway Chicken Chicken Chicken: Rare Level 3 Food Item Quality E-
Runaway chicken chicken chicken. It's thicker and tastier than regular chicken.

Runaway Chicken Eggs: Rarity 3 Food Items Quality E-
Runaway chicken eggs. It has a richer flavor than regular chicken.

I need rice! I could have made an oyakodon (chicken and egg bowl) with fish sauce right away! It's going to be a bold table, though.

And there were other monsters I hadn't seen before.

Pigg lv7.
Normal Monster Target Active

Polk! Not. The pigs were in a group again. And I expected them to run away. Pork. You can't get away.

Bottomless Swamp!

I'll take you to the bottomless swamp~. This magic, it's really capable. And needless to say, we're in the same situation as before.

Once disassembled, it's right on target.

Pork: Rare Level 3 Food Item Quality E-
Meat from pigs. It has a higher fat content than other meats.

Get the pork! He also leveled up, but his experience didn't seem to be as awesome as Sheep's. I had a vague feeling that was the case since my escape route was completely different.

Afterwards, I reported to Ruin-san after collecting oranges firmly.

Then he lectured me. He was angry at me for attacking without telling me. I thought there was no need to contact him because I had been exploring on my own until now, but it seems that this event was a problem because of the points involved. Reflection.

At any rate, Ruin-san will be coming here soon. There's a food situation.

In the meantime, as I continue to gather food, I meet up with Ruin-san and the others. Other than Luke and the other summoners, Raiden and the other fierce beast handlers, and Ruin-san and the other production workers, there's a large group of people. But Crow-san wasn't there.

''What's wrong with Crowe-san?''

Crow is in our first base. He's attending an attack meeting in the opposite base area from here.

Oh, I haven't been able to capture it yet. Well, I think I got wiped out.

Isn't it funny though?

Don't we all have a chance to earn points?

I was just talking to Mr. Lewin about that just now?

It's a long story...

Luke makes a bitter face. Roku says clearly.

'They want us out of the base area because we're in the way of their attack. Who do you think you are?　Those guys.

Wow...I'm completely broken up. So I guess that means it was a problem that I was the only one to capture this place after all.

"I have a message for you, Tact-kun.

Do you want me to stay out of their way?

Correct.

Then Lily hears it and gets angry.

'Tact...I hate those people!

I pat Lily's head.

"We all feel the same way in here," she says. But I'm not going to attack you first. I don't want to get hugged by King Kong. Do you want to fight that ape from yesterday again, Lilly?

'What?　...No!

I know, right?

People laugh when we have that kind of exchange.

'You say. Mr. Tact.

'Ha!　I certainly don't want that done to me!

Some of us have been victims of muscle gorillas. They know the horrors of the gorilla.

We will hold a dinner party with all the players gathered to review the current situation and apologize. Food will be provided by what we collect here. Everyone is very excited about the chicken and pork.

Yuna and the others are in charge of the food. They are cooking in good company with the other production workers. I couldn't be one of them, so I decided to just make a new fish sauce. It's not safe to ferment it instantly, so I made it away.

Wakasagi Fish Sauce: rare 4 Cooking Item D-.
Fish sauce made by fermenting wakame seaweed.
The undiluted solution is diluted and adjusted to taste just right.

Here's what Yuna and her team made with it!

Chicken with egg: rare 4 Cuisine Grade D
Effect: 30% recovery of satiety, one hour muscle strength increase (medium)
This dish is made by frying runaway chicken and runaway chicken eggs together.
Seasoned with fish sauce from a smorgasbord.

Baked Pork with Fish Sauce: Rare 4 Cuisine Qty D
Effect: 30% recovery of satiety, one hour muscle strength increase (medium)
A dish of pork baked in wakame fish sauce.

Dare I say it. We've been waiting for this!

Meow... meow.

I never knew meat could taste so good.

'They'll be sorry they missed out on such a good meal!

That's for sure!

A big party.

I'm going to send Crowe a picture of what I'm cooking.

Miu Miu, awful.

You were right to come here.

Yeah.

Mr. Tristan and Chiffon were there.

'Mr. Tristan, are you sure?　Come here.

'We got hacked. We had to go through the first base area together.

Oh, man, I'm sorry I did that.

Don't worry about it. It's okay!　I'd rather get the points and that's a big help.

It's nice to hear you say that. And there's a newcomer. Mr. Vice-Chairman.

It's your first time in here. Takuto-kun.

'Right. Miranda.

...

Miranda shuts up.

'What's wrong?　Miranda. You okay?　Miranda. Is he breathing?　Miranda.

'Oh!　God!　You know I'm doing this!　Don't call them out!

I was pissed...I was just worried about him.

'Arleigh's guy's trying to piss me off too, really, man.

'Objection!　It's libelous to lump him in with that guy!

Isn't that too much?　Mr. Takut.

Really? I'm sure he'd say the same thing, but...

I mean, is Arleigh on the other side of the line?

Yeah. He was buzzing about getting points.

You went to get a hug from King Kong...

Why are you saluting?

A courtesy to a dead soldier?

Why are you questioning...

I think there are times when I'm tempted to do things like that.

And Mel and the others are just Lisa and Mirai. That's odd.

What's going on?

You're going to find out soon... actually, Mirai-chan was scouted. You see, Mirai-chan is a healer, so she's the kind of person you want in a group fight.

Yeah, I guess so. So you see.

Did they do something to you?

If you do that, it's an instant GM call!

That too... but the fact that they didn't do it means they were forced to recruit or ordered to do it or something like that... they want to die.

You okay?　Mirai.

Yeah... everyone helped me.

Apparently, they've arranged for Kego and his team to participate instead of Mirai.

I'll have to send them an email thanking them later. As I was about to send the email, I got an email.

'Thank me with a weapon!'

...Well, I should thank you for that.

Afterwards, I was pissed at Mel and the others for not contacting them as well. The scolding time was over when I pointed out that I hadn't gotten a call about the King Kong attack on the way out. Well, let's not say any more about this. I attacked it without saying a word.

The dinner party is over and we talk about the current situation.

'I wonder if the boss in the base area was strong?

'It was strong. We were on the verge of throwing all of our trump cards in. To be honest, I don't know if I can win again at full strength.

Were you that strong?

That was f*cked up.

''Yes. Magic was powerful, close quarters combat was strong, and it was even more stubborn. If I didn't have this armor, I would have died. Thank you, Mew, thank you.

'I didn't expect the equipment I made to play a big role!

''Yes. First they shot a wide range of ice magic at me, and it worked great.

Ruin-san speaks as Miu-san looks smug.

''It sounds like you had a hard time...Tact-kun, and by the looks of it, if we had teamed up with Legion, there might have been some damage, so I'll forgive you for the points, but you need to contact me properly, okay?

I'll be careful, sir.

'Then fine. I have very little information on the other side, but it could be the same difficulty.

No information...so I'm just going to ask.

'Have you heard anything about what's going on over there?　Like that one.

That's a floating island.

Apparently it doesn't have one... maybe you just can't see it, but if it's a cave or something, you can't see it because the trees are in the way.

I see. Well, that certainly makes it difficult to see.

"Tact, you're going in there, aren't you?

'It's so suspicious... it's just that a lot of these things have been traps until now.

I've experienced this with the water-based stone in the young tree forest and the church on the outskirts of the village.

Can I offer you a suggestion? Do you want to explore with me?

'Okay. For me, I appreciate the talk of exploration. But how do you plan to get across?

That's where I come in!

Hugues-san came out proudly. If it's Mr. Yug's turn to come out, that means...

A raft?

Don't give me quick answers!

Apparently, Mr. Hugues wanted to make it worthwhile. Sorry.


Then Mr. Hugues and the other woodworkers started to build a raft. The others are gathering ingredients. I was having a great time fishing for smelt, when they came back. Let's see...

"We're going to have a meeting to discuss the search for floating islands!　Don't let Mr. Takt run away!

Nah, I missed the boat.

The participants are all the people who gathered here. According to Ruin, there are about 100 people. The attackers were also said to be about 200, so I'm guessing that they were divided into servers of about 300 people each.

Nevertheless, the battles are mainly for summoners and beast handlers. The only other combatants are Mel, Tristan, and Chiffon.

The story is simple: we're going to build a bunch of rafts and everyone is going to investigate the floating island. My role is to provide strings and escort the rafts as they move. Apparently, me and a fisherman are the only underwater resources.

And I'm told that the fisherman has some swimming skills, but he has no experience in underwater combat. I'll take the job.

We built a raft at night and decided to leave tomorrow morning. In addition, it was unanimously decided not to let the guys on the other side join the attack. This would be natural.
