After having dinner, I take a bath in real life too. Oh no...I'm comparing the bath to the hot spring. For the record, I'm losing. I can't believe I'm losing when it's not real!

I log in and then show Hephaistos the material.

'You got some great stuff... it's too good for me.

''Hephaistos is my personal smith, so do me a favor. Size wise, it's a big sword, right?

'Yes. We were just about to ask for more material. I'm sure there's plenty of material left over for this. I'll make Koibibi-san's with the flame wolf claws, right?

''Please...I don't deserve the firewolf claws, but I'll sell them to Mr. Ruin.

Unfortunately, it's completely subordinate material. The Japanese fox is next. Then he brings a bright red robe, shoes, gloves, and cloak.

Flame Wolf's Robe: Rarity 5, Weight 15, Endurance Value 70, Defense +30.　
Additional effects: Cold resistant (Large), Earth attribute reduction (Medium), Wood attribute reduction (Medium)
A robe made from the fur of a flaming wolf. This robe is extremely resistant to attacks against the earth and wood attributes and is also resistant to the cold.
It is incompatible with underwater combat, so be careful.

Wyrm's Shoes: rarity level 5, weight 5, endurance value 60, defense +25.　
Additional effects: Electric resistant (Large), Wind attribute reduction (Medium), Lightning attribute reduction (Medium)
Shoes made of Wyrm's hide. A shoe that works well with the wind attribute and is almost completely immune to electricity.

Fire Lizard Gloves: rarity 4, weight 5, endurance value 50, defense +10.　
Additional effects: Fire damage (Medium), Fire resistance (Medium), Shock absorption (Medium)
A glove made from the skin of a fire lizard. When fighting, it blows out fire and causes fire attribute damage.
It is also strong against the fire attribute as a protective gear, reducing the burden on your hands.
However, it is vulnerable to water, so be careful.

Wyrm's Cloak: Rarity 5, Weight 10, Endurance 60, Defense +15.　
Additional effects: Wind attribute reduction (Medium), Lightning attribute reduction (Medium), Increase in flight speed (Medium)
Cloak with Wyrm's wings. A cloak that works well with the wind attribute and is almost completely immune to electricity.

I think it's an excellent piece of work. But I don't remember ordering the cloak.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it. I've been told that Takt's son doesn't like the cloak, so he wants you to give it to him as a gift.

Mugu...now I know why I didn't like the cloak...for some reason the image of Ix passed through my mind. Ix is inevitably connected to me with the link skill when supplying magic power to Ix...I guess I'm overthinking it.

'I made this, but what should we do?'

'Since you made it for me, I'll use it. The problem is how to use this material... again, mine is weird, can you ask for Lily's armor?

It's dragon-like material, and Lily is susceptible to damage.

I understand.

Then I send everyone gathered. It's becoming a tradition... and then comes the info.

'Your space-time magic level has reached 35. We have acquired the spacetime magic [Teleportation] and [Acceleration].

Wow, I've learned the cheat magic that Mr. Brass used to use. This is not good.

I checked it in the hot spring along with teleportation. First of all, teleportation is a magic that instantly moves to a selected location within the visual range. However, there is a weakness where the target is only you and you can see the magic circle. Even with that, it's still a useful spell for surprise attacks.

Acceleration is double speed magic. It's a good idea to make sure that you're able to use it in a way that's not too difficult.

'Tact!　This is fun!

Lilly would be fun. Speed is her weakness...

In case you're wondering, in my case, it's the process of using magic with the staff and then taking out the sword. That means I can't almost use it with the sword!

They've also shortened the magic chanting, but that's not much different than using magic normally... it's currently support. I'm sure it would change if they made a magic sword or something, but... it's a long story.

Once the magic is confirmed, let's change equipment and start the search. The members are Mir, Konoha, Yuu Fang, Darley, and Luna.

The reason I chose these members is because I can see the forest in the distance. If it's a forest, I'd choose Mir, after all, and we're about to evolve.

So, let's go for the forest, shall we? First, we have to get out of the hot spring area.

So we ride the Darley and start moving. Luna, who was surprised by the geyser called Bukubukburn, sometimes ran into my robe, but we made it through the hot spring zone.

I wonder if there are any monsters in the hot spring zone?

When I reached the forest, I realized something... warp point, I can't set it up... oh my God!

This place is still close to the hot springs, so it's good, but it's tougher if you go deeper. Currently, we're setting up at the hot springs, Iji Mine and Old Island.

There's a shifting stone, so we'll have to change the old island. It's more convenient to have them, though. It's hard to go back and forth between battleships.

But considering the difficulty level, this one is definitely better. For now, let's move on.

When you enter the forest, Mir reacts immediately.

"Wow, this is a nice forest!

Is that so?

'Yes!　It's like a forest with little or no human or sub-human touch.

I don't want to do too much with that... Yu Fang senses the enemy. Now, what are we dealing with?

Wapiti Lv 12
Normal Monster Target for Demolition Non-active

They're deer... in packs. They don't know we're here. Then we have to do it.

Meal moves to the other side of the dirt, Luna goes around the other side to avoid detection, and I target the Wapiti with parasitic trees and magic.

A startled Wapiti comes this way. Konoha's feather throwing, Yu Fang's freezing breath freezes the Wapiti's.

I'm sorry...you're going to be our food. I spear them through and put a stop to it.

Then dismantle it.

Wapiti Meat: Rare Level 4 Food Item Quality E
Wapiti venison. A meat that can be eaten as sashimi.

Wapiti's venison: Rare Level 4 Material Item Quality E
The material has been known as a herbal medicine since ancient times.

New venison get. Deer meat is a deer antler. Used in Chinese medicine. I'll have to give them to Setia.

But it seems we can't just sit back and relax. Yu Fang warns us of the danger. It seems to be an enemy that triggers the Wapiti to come out.

A giant deer appears, knocking down tree after tree.

An Irish Elk?
?　?　?

It's the leading animal of the Ice Age, along with the mammoth and the kebukasai. He's pissed off that the Wapiti have been knocked down.

Let's just... run for it!

We all run. I ride Darley and try a state malfunction, but the normal debuffs and poisons work, but not the diseases.

And the poison is chucked away by regeneration. It's a nasty deer. And this deer only goes after me.

Everyone tries to attack me, but they're oblivious. It's either the nature of the animals that represent the ice age or the ice magic isn't effective. Water and ice magic have been effective until now, so it's a complete mis-organization.

But even so, I still have Darley, so I'll be fine.

"Mir, set the traps.

I get it!

Luna and Konoha are coming.

'You two, I want you to attack from both sides with magic. I don't care if it doesn't work. If we can do some damage, we'll win.

They nod and separate left and right. Yu Fang comes over.

''Keep attacking with the frozen breath. If you get caught in the trap, I'll set up a close call. Make sure you don't hit that big corner.

Gow!

We all attacked with magic to do damage.

'We're ready!　Just keep going straight.

Okay!　Darley, let's get out of range!

Darley accelerates with a gust of wind. Then we spot the marker that signals a trap. We run through it and turn.

Then the Irish elk are just about to fall into the trap.

"Ei!

As Meir said that, a pit appeared and both of the Irish Elk's legs fell off, causing his shins to hit the ground.

Ahhh, that hurt...

Perhaps because of the speed of the Irish Elk, it spun around and flew at us.

'Oh shit!　Darley, let's get out of here.

In a panic, I signaled Darley to leave.

The Irish Elk flies in and drops from the brain to where we were. The result is a proud horn stuck in the ground, flopping around but not coming loose... all sorts of terrible.

'Well... um... the result is alright!

Meir, I think it's cute, but it doesn't erase the awfulness of what we did.

We finished off the stuck Irish elk. A hollow victory...I'll take it apart for now.

Giant Deer Meat: Rare Level 5 Food Item Quality D
Irish Elk Venison. Known as a fairly strong medicinal meat and can be eaten as sashimi.

Giant Deer Antler: Rare Level 5 Material Item Quality D
Irish elk horns. They've lost their medicinal properties, but those horns are packed with nutrients.

I've never seen a block of meat more than twice my size before. It's gonna take a lot of work... here. And a horn the size of a meat block... what am I supposed to do? I'll just put it in my inventory and take it home with me for now...

And now that we've finished off the Irish Elk, we're all leveled up. Then comes the info.

''Your spear level has reached 5. You have acquired the spear martial skill [Backlancer].''
'Syncro's level has reached 10. Synchronization [multiple communications] acquired.
'Darley's level has reached 16. You are ready to evolve.
'Mir has reached level 16. You are ready to evolve.

I'm one of the back-up dancers, just like Kego.

And multiple communication was added to the synchro skill. When I tried it out, I was able to communicate with only one person before, but now I can communicate with everyone.

I feel this is useful. I hope the communication will be like that if possible.

There was a surprising result in the level up. Luna's evolution didn't come... I thought it would come at 16, but it didn't... maybe it's because it's a composite summon? Well, okay. Let's let Mir and Darley evolve as planned.
