We continued our search for King Kong's fort.

And then I heard my voice.

"....smells like you, Mirai-tan?

They all look at me. Wait a minute. I didn't say anything.

...my brother, you're being very abrupt.

Mr. Tact, can I have a word with you?

'I didn't know my brother had such a hobby!

Hey!　Say it to me.

Then I heard Rekka's voice.

'Ix-tan, I want to perk you up.'

I hold the glass sword to Lekka.

"You are ready to die, aren't you?

I didn't tell you!

Luke stops him.

'Yes, this is a trap,'

Actually, I'm amazing when I take my clothes off.

'I don't get it!　I don't work out!

Luke is doing a comedy by himself, and a surprise remark is made by Rikyu and Raiden.

'Actually, I've had a thing for you for a long time!

'I can't go any further... and I won't be able to go back either... so!

The women look at him hotly.

''Wait a minute, yeah!''

Regardless of the suspicions of Mr. Fierce Wind and the others, we can't continue like this. We have to find the culprit!

"Ix, where are the enemies?

There are two parakeets in the big tree to your right.

I see... a parrot can at least mimic voices.

I throw the glass sword I was holding. It misses the mark, but the parrot runs away. I've got it!

A-pause!

The glass sword returned to his hand, and when he threw it again, he finished off the parrot.

The other parrot was killed by Recca with a heat lance.

'What was that?'

It's a parrot. It's a parrot.

You're a very tacky parrot, aren't you?

Needless to say, we all agreed with Mel's opinion.

In case you're wondering, the ladies asked for a continuation of the story, but Fierce Wind and the others did their best to reject it.

Despite all that trouble, we finally found King Kong's fort.

There are a lot of goblins and muscle gorillas on guard. I wonder what's going on.

We concluded that the catapult was impossible, since we'd have to assemble the wood and bring rocks from the ancient island without the enemy noticing.

Anyway, that's where the new magic comes in.

'Gate Point!'

A magic circle is drawn on the ground, and then it disappears. That's it.

A new space-time spell?　What kind of magic is that?

'A gate point keeps track of one warp destination, and a warp gate is magic that warps you to a place you've been once.

"Convenient!

Right? So we return to Freetia and have a strategy meeting.

How to attack that fort...no frontal breakthrough first. I think Libina can get there, but the Muscle Gorilla was moving, so it's too dangerous. The decoys were rejected for the same reason. So we'll have to sneak in.

Who? I'll be me. Because Nowa could probably do it. We were going to infiltrate with Nowa, set up a gate point, and use the warp gate to get everyone inside.

Then Hephaistos comes in with two iron swords.

'You're done?　You're early.

'Lily's big sword helped me get a feel for it, and thanks to my new fireplace and hammer. Thank you.

No problem. Okay, let's get on with it.

Yes. I'm proud of it.

Leapling's One-Handed Sword: Rare Level 5 One-Handed Sword Quality D
Weight: 25 Endurance Value: 50 Attack Power: 20
A one-handed sword made of iron. Due to the effects of the Intermediate Furnace and Intermediate Hammer, it is lighter in weight and has increased durability and attack power.
The emblem of Clan 'Leapling' is quenched in the sword's edge.

''Oh!　That's good work!　Quite a feat.

Even I can use it at this weight, and I can just barely do a double take with the Ion. It wasn't a mistake to trade the furnace and hammer for Hephaistos.

'Ehehe. Thank you.

We've got some new weapons and we're going to warp back to King Kong's fort again on our own.

'Noah. Please.

Hmm.

Ix spotted the goblins on a scouting mission and Noah lurked in the shadow of the goblins at the back of the scouting party.

The goblins that were out on reconnaissance entered the fort. For now, it was a successful infiltration.

'Nowa, what do you think?'

"...goblins and gorillas.

I knew the fort was full of enemies...I waited for a few minutes to see if I'd get a chance to do something about it, and then I got my chance.

Nii, we're in the room. I need to sleep.

"Do you know how many goblins are in the room and what condition they are in?

...there are six shadows. It's like they're taking turns sleeping.

d*mn. They're all staying awake... that's thorough. But if three out of six of them are asleep, we can get them without being noticed.

I call Aeon, Love Fire and Livina.

'You're on,'

'Ah. Now I'm going to take out the goblins in the room with Nowa's shadow migration. Six in all. Three of them are sleeping.

'Anybody awake will be taken out by me, Aeon and Love Fire. Livina will secure the exit.

I guess that's what the goblins want to see me do.

Livina is still very intelligent because of the demon.

Yeah. If we could charm her, would you?

'Of course. I'll suck it all up!

You can count on it.

Master, what should I do?

Ix will be on standby. 'Don't worry, Ix needs to find out what's going on in the fort and who's behind it. We'll take care of that.

Yes, Master.

Once they all return to the summoning stone and hold it in their hands, I take out my Reepling's one-handed sword.

''Noah, does it look okay?''

"...hmm.

Okay, please!

...shadow shift

I jump out of the shadows and deliver a thrust to the goblin's face.

'Aeon, love fire, Livina!

Aeon and Love Fire are summoned and in an instant, the goblin is decapitated.

The sleeping goblin wakes up and tries to escape to the exit, but sees Livina and is sucked out.

The one I poked is still alive, but he's been shredded by Noah's shadowy swordsman.

They're all excellent. But we can't afford to be complacent.

Since we don't know when this mutation will be discovered, we must hurry to break through.

I'll call Ix.

'Ix, tell me the location of King Kong and the other beings of the goblins and muscle gorillas.

Yes, Master. Track starts... and ends. There's a single massive bogey on the third floor of the fort. We've got multiple reactors stuck on the fourth floor. We have a long line of enemies on the first and second floors. There is a line of reactions in the basement and one reaction away from us.

You're politely separating the cerian beasts and the villagers. Probably the basement is the cerian beasts and the fourth floor is the villagers. If it weren't for Ix, we'd be trawling the fort.

We got the information. I set up the gate point and head back to Freetia.

Then, besides Ruin and the others, Yoichi, Full Moon, Hikage, Tristan, Chiffon and the others, Al and the others, the people who fought the event with me were there.

Ahhhh. You said you'd arrive today or something.

''Hey, Tact-kun.''

You have a great store.

Hi. I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush.

Then Full Moon said something shocking.

'Ruin and the others told me. 'You need a force, don't you?'

I look at Mr. Ruin.

''It can't be helped. It's hard to defeat King Kong without Takuto-kun, so I've decided to ask them to help me. And how did the situation go?

We've got a room at the fort. I don't know how long you'll be safe, so I'll talk to you over there.

All right. Let's go.

When we warp, it doesn't look like they found us yet.

I'm gonna give you the location of the boss and the villagers.

"You're really good, Iks, aren't you? So, I guess we'll be separated from Mr. Tact on the ground floor.

You will.

Then Yoichi says.

''Even so, you do amazing things. I can't believe you're giving away your first clear reward for the area release event.''

''I've heard about it, but it can't be helped. We can't just leave our love fire friends alone.

My first priority is to get my love fire friends. I will leave Ruin and his party and summon Lily, Aeon, Love Fire, Setia, and Livina.

'Livina, don't be shy. Give it everything you've got.

'Yes!　I'll take care of it.

The moment Livina leaves the room, the goblins see Livina, fall down, and are wiped out.

''It's amazing...''

'The succubus in this game is pretty strong,'

The first time you see it, you'll be a bit of a donkey. Are they leaning back? We're going to go on ahead.

It's over.

Yeah. I'll run through it!

"Oh!

We started running for the basement. One by one, the goblins and muscle gorillas were defeated.

''Ah!　You beat me to it!'

By now, it's too late to realize that.
