Zeroth turns the bolt with the wrench, making a creaking sound.
　After checking the bolts with all his strength, he takes out a long, thin, bar-shaped steel plate and fixes it to the top, welding it with sparks.
　There are multiple holes in the plate, and it is easy to see that this is a metal fitting for fixing something. Beside Xelloss, Ad was frantically assembling a leather chair.
　He took out a level and checked the balance, changing the position frequently to check for distortions.

Hmmm ...... will the brakes work properly?　You can check that the brakes work by operating the levers, but it would be unfortunate if you couldn't stop when you actually started driving.
Please don't say anything you don't like. Don't be a jerk. I've got my whole life ahead of me on this thing.
If you feel that way, why don't you finish the back?　I'd like to size it up, if you don't mind.
I've never done anything of this magnitude before. Don't be absurd. Is it crooked?　I don't know anything about millimeters.

　It's been a week since the observer, Sawgrass, showed up.
　During that time, Xellos and the others were leisurely working on the [Magical Mortar Carriage].
　Now that they have a certain idea of what they need to do, they will begin their activities in earnest. In order to do so, they needed to get rid of Ad's fence. He is a guest of honor.
　For the growth of the evil god-chan, [Alfea Megas], she must continue to hunt many demons and grow rapidly. The power of existence - the so-called experience value, the experience value of the demons defeated by Xellos and the others is directly transferred to 【Alfia Megas】 by the contract.
　Originally, all the high-level evolved demons were abnormal species, and it was necessary to cut them down thoroughly in the name of thinning out the population. However, one cannot live only by hunting.

This thing doesn't have a shift lever. I can't say for sure until I try to drive it, but it really doesn't seem to be fast.
No, it won't. I think the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour.　It's faster than walking, though.
No, it's faster to run on foot in the city, isn't it?　People also grow abnormally with level effects, right?
If the criteria for status is vague, it's also questionable. When I hear stories like that, it makes me feel foolish to build anything with technology. If you kill demons, your skill level will increase by itself.
The bonus effect of aiming at a strong demon will strengthen your technical skills ....... This is what you call being able to rewrite your perceptions. ....... That's scary.

　In the case of Ad, it is not a rewriting of perception. It's just that he had become accustomed to the environment of [Sword and Sorcery].
　The moment you take something abnormal for granted, it becomes your everyday common sense. This is especially true of the game screen. Physical strength, intelligence, resistance, and even luck are quantified. Even luck is quantified.
　In addition to the imbalance, multiple game systems are encroaching on the balance. The chaotic system is rewriting events all over the world. That is the reality of this other world.
The common sense of Swords and Sorcery allowed Xelloss and Ad to become accustomed to the environment of another world, but that common sense is an abnormal situation to begin with. To acquire skills, you have to go through a lot of trial and error. To acquire knowledge, you have to read a lot of books and verify that they are really correct.
　Skills and vocational skills ignore this process and let the body learn only the results. Of course, there are times when you fail, but just being able to get the blacksmith skill and forge a sword out of the blue is extraordinary enough.
　If this had happened on Earth, you would have thought it was strange, no doubt.
　Well, by rewriting our perceptions, we may easily accept it as common sense. .......

So, if you want to go 'hooray! "That's why we have to take care of Ad's problem if we're going to have a 'hooray!
What do you mean? Well, thank you for your time. ......

　Ado and Xellos are making plans for the future while working on the assembly.
　But suddenly, Ad's hand stops and he begins to think.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.　I'm not sure if there is really anyone in this world that is over level 500?　And if you think about it, it's a very easy world to level up in, isn't it?
"If you get close to 500, then you're above genius level. ....... It's just a hunch, but I think Duke Delsacis is a bit of a no-brainer.　Mr. Creston is 300. ......
It's a simple question, but isn't the survival training method passed down by Zeroth ...... dangerous?

　I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you. I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to know what you think.
　If a [Critical Break] is triggered, the countdown to the extinction of the body, soul and all, will begin.
　With each level, your body and soul will approach the limit, and finally, "boom" will happen. The damage will spread to those around you, and there is no telling how much damage it will cause.
　This is a critical breakthrough. It contained a fact as dangerous as a meltdown.
　The old man was sweating profusely because he had unwittingly told them something dangerous. The sunny and warm living room seemed to be a sub-zero world.

"Oh my god, ---------!
You can't say you didn't know. ....... It would be awful if the limit is exceeded in each place and people explode. A human bomb. I'm wondering if it's a chain reaction.
"Wait, the conditions for [critical breakthrough] are different for each individual!　I didn't think it would be easy to clear .......
"Mr. Xelloss, on the contrary, depending on your personal conditions, you can easily go 'boom', right?　I'm not sure what to make of it.　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to do it.　The number of skills and technical skills?　Levels?　Whatever it is, it's like having a human bomb walking around the city.


Oh, my God. ...... The streets are crawling with Kaiten and Sakuraba. And they're filled with nuclear warheads. It's a nightmare.

　The old man had done it without knowing it.
　In his mind's eye, the scene of nuclear war from a long time ago comes to mind. And so begins the legend of the end of the century.

"Well, I can't tell everyone about ....... ............. Hey, I'm shocked!
The reincarnated are fine, but the people of this world are ......
Then let's get this thing together!　Let's finish what we started and hasten the coming of God!
There are live time bombs wandering all over the place. ....... Do we need to get things done before the worst happens? Seriously, though, the worst.
I'm sure we can take it down at the snap of a finger. ...... hahahahaha
Don't try to escape reality, -----!

　The old man can move his hands, but his eyes are empty. His consciousness had flown to the end of the century.
　While unconsciously working on the assembly, his thoughts were in the apocalyptic world in his mind.
　He had a feeling that he would be a high king rather than a savior. Or maybe a demon king.
　There is a saying that you should assume the worst, and this is the result of that assumption. Overthinking turned into mental stress, and I ran away from the unpleasant reality.

I'm not sure what to do.　It's creepy. ......
"He's probably worried about the future. He's too old.
You're a human being, aren't you? I didn't think worries existed.
Can I have some meat today?　Yuck!
I think I can cut you now. Do you want to kill ......?

　The children looked at the old man smiling blankly with understanding and warm eyes.
　There was one child who was thinking dangerously.
　The work was uncanny, says Iris, who later witnessed the scene.
　And so the [Magical Mortar Carriage] was completed for the time being.
　Needless to say, we did a driving test that day.

　I'll be back in a few days.

　And so, the time had finally come for the unveiling of the [Magic Mortar Carriage].
　Fortunately, the Duke of Delsacis had some business with Creston and had come to Zeroth's house in his spare time.
　In front of the house, there is a dark green metallic-colored, nostalgic car body, the predecessor of the car, which Delsacis' men and others are looking at with great interest.
If I were to describe the [Magical Mortar Carriage] in one word, it would be a carriage without a horse.
　The steering wheel and brake lever protrude from the dashboard, which is the mudguard of a horse. A starting key is attached next to the seat to avoid theft, and a [magic lamp] is fixed as a light. One thing I know is that since it is a convertible, it cannot be driven in the rain.
　There is a hood on the back seat that can be deployed for shade, but it does not reach the driver's seat. The driver is completely exposed to the rain.

"Oh, so this is a moving magic tool. ...... Interesting.

　The Duke of Delsacis muttered his impressions honestly with a dandy-like manner.
　He smells a new business and smiles fearlessly. If you're a woman, you'll be flattered, but if you're a man, you'll be terrified. This duke is a dangerous man in many ways.

To start the car, insert the key next to the driver's seat and twist it. It runs faster than a carriage, but the running time depends on the amount of magic stones. Ten goblin stones will give you thirty minutes of driving time.
"Hmm, ......, what about the attributes of the magic stones?　What attribute does this magic tool correspond to?
A magic stone is a crystal of magic power. It doesn't matter what attribute it has as long as it has magic power. You should be able to use it for all attributes.
I see, so what about the ...... driving speed?　How much difference is there between it and a carriage?
It's faster than a carriage. Well, the higher the speed, the more magic power it consumes. It's not very fuel efficient, though.
You're giving this to us?　You're saying that we should divide the work process between Solistea, the Kingdom of Issaras, and the Kingdom of Atollum?　Wouldn't it be better to produce it in our country?

　He was hitting me where it hurts.
　But we can't afford to be cowed here. The Duke of Delsacis was probably expecting this question.

"The Kingdom of Issaras is a country rich in mineral resources. It's a good place to manufacture parts, and labor costs are low right now. The heart of the device will be made in the Solstice Magic Kingdom and assembled in the Kingdom of Atrum. And then sell it to the philistines of the Holy Priesthood of Metis at a high price. They can't produce it anyway, and they don't have many mages. In addition, we'll install magical annihilation camps in the power plant and the magic vault to prevent information leakage even if it is disassembled.


"Naturally, you'll be selling to other countries as well, right?　How do you plan to transport them?
"We can send the parts to each country and have them assembled there. We'll have the upper hand just by holding the magic motor and the magic stone storage. We need to come to this country to learn the technology.
I see, so the goal is to stimulate the flow of people. I see, the purpose is to stimulate the flow of people. The economy of the three countries will be enriched by the sale or flow of many goods.
You have already read that far. Technical information will eventually be leaked. You can't keep it secret forever, someone will create it on their own. The point is to stimulate the people who have the technology, and to encourage them to be creative for further development. In the long run, I don't think that the [Magic Mortar Carriage], which is only a temporary product, will dominate forever. I think it makes sense to train our technicians.

　Delsacis knows that Xellos and the others want to borrow the help of the dukes. On the contrary, Xellos and the others thought that Delsasis was aiming for a long-term revitalization of the economy throughout the country.
　Technological development comes from the ingenuity of many engineers, and from small things come great changes. If we remain complacent in the present time, we will eventually be overtaken by engineers from other countries.
　This can be seen in Japan during the war. Japan was defeated by the economic and analytical power of the major powers, and the war situation was reversed by advanced technology. Whether it was battleships or fighter planes, technological reversals were triggered in a short period of time.
　In the end, it is capital that counts.
　In both commerce and industry, competition is what spurs further development. The "Magic Mortar Carriage" is a milestone and the first strong stimulus.

There are also mages in the Holy Law God Kingdom of Metis.　I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure what to make of that.　You can't take those words back now, can you? If you do that, it's like saying that the teachings you've had up until now are wrong. Even more stubbornly, they persecute mages and still buy magic tools.
"It's quite conceivable, since they're so brazen. We can't give them technology or partnerships because of our position.

　The power of the smirking Delsacis made Ad shy away.
　For someone who had never negotiated properly, the power of a real messenger seemed different. It was not a fear that he could feel on his skin due to the difference in levels, but a fear that exuded from his humanity.
　It's like a bottomless swamp that will swallow you up if you're not careful.
　The power of a fierce warrior made Ad feel a cold sweat running down his back.

"Hmm ......?　What do you want, Lord Xellos?
"Well, to put it simply, Ad, your safety. He is a guest of honor in the Kingdom of Issaras, but he has a weakness: his wife. He needs to protect her and negotiate economically with the Kingdom of Issaras. I think we need to increase the pressure on the Holy Priesthood of Metis. We can't afford to have these two countries hanging around if we're going to make a serious move.
"Lord Xellos, let's talk openly. What are you ...... and your fellow reincarnates up to?
So you knew. Well, I shouldn't be surprised. Simply put, our goal is to return this world from the four gods to its rightful custodians. In other words, the resurrection of ...... [God].

　I'm not going to tell you that it's already back. It's a businessman's theory, but the goal was to gain trust and cooperation by telling the rest of the truth.
　The negative effects of the summoning of heroes after the War of the Evil Gods, the sloppy world management of the Four Gods and the broken world system. The deaths of their own people due to the littering of the evil gods, and the deaths of their own people in this world due to their irresponsible response. Furthermore, the wrath of gods comparable to the creator gods, and the negative effects on the life forms living in this world.
　He emphasizes that this is a holy war to save all the dimensional worlds, and then he aims to eliminate the four gods. He also added that there is no time left for this world.
　Well, I don't know when the end will come, but by emphasizing that, I'm trying to stir up a sense of crisis.

"What?　That's how bad it's gotten. ......
We are the assassins sent to get them to leave. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site. Still, they didn't try to stop it.
It's a sloppy world manager, and it's causing the world's logic to collapse?　[Critical Breakthrough], [Extreme Breakthrough] ......, that's an incredible skill. It's an unbelievable skill. When it's activated, will humans be able to withstand it and disappear?
I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I've heard that the providence of the world has changed quite a bit since the Evil God War.　In addition, the problem is that as long as we are in this world, we perceive abnormalities as common sense.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.
We need to be able to move freely in order to get out of this situation. Please!　Please lend us your strength!

　Ad bowed his head in earnest.
　Inwardly, he must have been worried about the gravity of the situation. There is nothing more reassuring than having someone with the appropriate authority lend you a hand.
　However, Xellos was not the only one who was on his guard. Delsacis is a very tricky person who can take advantage of a situation like this.

But where to start? The Kingdom of Isaras can be dealt with, but the Holy Law Goddess Kingdom of Metis can do anything if cornered. We'll have to proceed with caution.
"For now, the first priority is to let the [God] regain his power. I'm going to eradicate the demons that are viciously strong. I'll give the power I've gained back to the [God]. Some of them are capable of doing so.


"...... So the reincarnates captured by the guards are a distraction for you. So Lord Xelloss and his men are your biggest assassins.
No, I think that's just plain stupid. ....... I'm not sure what to say. The four gods are a huge hindrance to that. For the sake of personal greed, we ask you to leave the throne of God.
"You don't care about the peace of the world, do you?　The world is on the verge of collapse!
"For the sake of my peaceful life, I'll get rid of the four gods. I'll get rid of the four gods for my peaceful life. I will do as the gods ask, but I will not be told how to do it.
"Wait, Mr. Xellos. ....... You're fighting for yourself?
Of course, Mr. Ad!　As long as the results are good, I'll let the four gods disappear for the sake of my peaceful life. They're kind of annoying and remind me of the ...... guy.

　An old man who declares that he is acting for very personal reasons.
I'm not sure what to say.　What is that and is it good? What's so good about that? The seriousness of the situation is gone, the current situation and the old man's attitude are different issues.
　Yes, the [Annihilator] is a free and joyful criminal to any extent.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea.　I'm sure you've heard of it.
I'm fine with that. What about you, Ad?
I'm fine with freedom of movement. I don't want to be bothered by unknown men or chaperones. We'll be going into dangerous places more often than not, and the less we sacrifice, the better.
"Hmmm ......, I understand. Then I will make good arrangements with the Kingdom of Issaras. If you treat them a little better, they will feel better about you. You'll get something in return, though.
"Scary!

　You can't go against Delsacis, the old men thought at that time.
　They felt like they understood now what a frog stared at a snake.
　The next day, Yui, Lisa, and the others moved from Zeroth's house to Solistair's villa where Creston lived, and Ad also moved back and forth to Zeroth's house.

　A few days later, a delegation was sent to the Kingdom of Issaras.
　They brought with them appropriate souvenirs and plans for future economic revitalization.
　When Ado told the king that he would remain in the magical kingdom of Solstair as a mage on the side of the Kingdom of Issaras and that he would work for the country from the outside, he was moved to tears.
　In fact, he brought in a proposal to revitalize the economy. He accepted the proposal with open arms.

　It is an aside that when Ad received the report, his heart was extremely pained.

　The negotiations with the Duke of Delsacis

　A few days after the negotiations with the Duke of Delsacis, Ad noticed a big problem.
　It was--.

"I have no money!

　That was all he needed to say.
　In the first place, Ado and his friends were not only guests of honor, but they were also traveling around the world to help the Kingdom of Issaras. Of course, the Kingdom of Issaras had paid for their lodging and food.
　However, once the connection with the Kingdom of Issaras was severed, Ad and his friends had to earn their own money.
　It is the same as in any other world, when you go out into the world, there is no one to take care of you and you have to live on your own. People call it independence.
　Money comes and goes, but the basic way to save it is to work.

"Mr. Ad, what should we do!　We don't have any means to earn our living.
We don't have any way to earn money.　But that job involves killing bandits.
I don't want to kill people. I don't want to kill people. Even if they are criminals, they don't have the right to take our lives.
I think it's naive, but if you divide them, they're murderers. Well, I've killed a lot of people. ......

　Mercenaries are inexpensive to sign up for.
　You will be able to increase your rank by completing a number of requests and gaining trust and achievements.
It's not worth it to work on the edge of life.

Why don't you sell your magic stones?　Don't you have any magic stones in Gibleys?
"But the price of Chabane's and Yamato's magic stones is dropping. There's a lot of them out there.
"I see. ......

　The old man who interrupted from the side, after showing some satisfaction, slowly poured the liquid from the test tube into the flask.
　After shaking it lightly, the color of the liquid turned a deep purple, and the liquid was poured into the same flask.
　The smell of medicine, like that of a hospital or infirmary, fills the air.

"Hey, Mr. Xelloss ......, what are you doing?
"Generating potions, sir?　I bought a few fresh herbs yesterday and I'm mixing them up for the first time in a while.


Oh, I didn't know you could do that　Potions can be sold anywhere. Depending on what you sell, you could make a fortune!
If we sell too much of the good stuff, we'll be pursued by some unscrupulous people.
Mr. Ad, we don't know how to mix. ......
I can sew. I have some vocational skills, so maybe I can make some small items to sell?

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to try.
　However, it is unknown how they will react in this other world. If the mercenaries can't do it, we'll have to make do with technology.

I'll do [Compounding] and Lisa will do [Sewing] ......
I'll do [engraving]. I'll make a simple brooch or something. Fortunately, I have a lot of metal from the Kingdom of Issaras.
I have ...... tools. If you have your own materials, use them.
Mr. Xelloss, ...... can you please stop talking like a craftsman sometimes?　Who the hell are you, ......?
I'm just an unemployed guy!
If you take the words as they come, you're a bastard!

　In the midst of this idiotic verbal communication, Lisa begins to knit lace and Shakti takes out a lump of metal. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Wait, Shakti!　How can you use [magic smelting]?　It's not a production job, is it?　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. Is your level that high?
"Huh?　In the hidden scenario of the production profession, if you consecrate two hundred mithril rings in the temple, you can use it.　I was a helper, but the god Alchemia descended, and I gained skills and my level went up a lot.
"............

　It seems that events existed that the two of them did not know about.
　Then Xelloss whispered to Ad. This is because Lisa and the others don't know the full extent of [Sword and Sorcery].

Ado, in Sword and Sorcery, it's not surprising that such events would increase on a whim. It was originally a simulation of this world, but it is now a playground for the gods.
I'm not convinced, though. I know, but I don't get it. We've worked so hard to raise the level of our occupational skills.
"I understand how you feel. But we don't know what the gods will do with a world that's already done its job. There's no point in getting upset. It seems that the gods are also participating as players. ......

This is the first time that I've ever seen such a thing.
　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time with your family and friends. Xelloss and the other players who were playing in this pseudo-world did not notice the sudden change in the system.
　Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that they forgot because their perceptions had been rewritten. Their memories were being manipulated through the medium of the game console, DreamWorks.
　When they were told the truth that they had forgotten, Zeroth and the others felt for the first time that the existence of [God] was terrifying. The fact that their own history had been rewritten meant that their own daily lives had been remade. It's enough to make you feel unspeakable fear.
　This was done for about five years, and after that I was playing with the gods in a modified pseudo-world. It was true that not knowing was a blessing.
This truth was told to me by [Soullus] in the underground warehouse.

I don't remember, so I don't know how much of a difference it makes. I heard that the environment was like this world now. ......
"You said that status is unreliable now. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. ......
You can think of it as being in a f*cking alternate universe. If you are aware that you are out of the norm, you will have no problem living a normal life. It doesn't seem to be a big problem.
"I don't understand.　It could be that our memories have been rewritten and we just don't remember, or it could be that our perceptions are being rewritten right now. ......
There's no end to our doubts. And I don't think it's going to affect us.　But it seems that the notation of monster levels by [appraisal] is completely broken. You've forgotten that you were warned to be careful, haven't you?

　The reincarnated don't need to worry about the danger of self-destruction, even against level ups.
　Their power is based on the avatar of [Sword and Sorcery], with a small amount of the apostle's factor incorporated. Although their bodies are optimized according to their abilities and environment, only a few of them have extremely different abilities.
These are Xellos, Ad, and Anzu.
　Elomra, for example, felt a slight discomfort with this world.
In Ether Lante, he became impatient with a demon whose level was different from his own, and even though it should have been easy to defeat considering his physical level, he perceived it as strong.
　At this time, he had a discrepancy in his perception. He was in a state of 'running into another game character'. It would be easier to understand if you think of it as encountering a monster that appears at the end of DQ in the middle of FF. At this point, status descriptions are meaningless.
　When you are fighting against a monster in the middle of a game, the last boss monster of another game suddenly appears and wipes out your party. A similar situation was going on in reality.
　And no one would notice the change. The trouble is that it will not be remembered.
　In this case, the status based on [Appraisal] becomes unreliable. Only experience and skill can be relied on, and it is no wonder that we live in a world where providence is broken.


　This is the extent of the problem for now, but I'm afraid of the unknown.

I'm sure we can handle it. The souls of the summoned heroes are being turned into Legion and the system is being rewritten, but it's not extensive.
　If you rewrite a part of the area, the wind will move it to another place. And the changes are subtle. This will erode the events over time, and the residual alien events will eventually become the system of this world.
But it's not absolute, is it?　What if something appears that even we can't control? I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll do fine.

　I don't know what to base my judgment on, since status is unreliable.
The information that is displayed in the mind of the appraiser is not uniform and cannot be used in battle. However, it is useful in appraising materials for gathering, etc., so it was not useless.
　Since the system is rewritten from region to region, the results of appraising demons cannot be trusted.
　In such a situation, you have no choice but to measure the strength of the opponent by its presence, but if you are always on alert, you will become mentally exhausted. This could eventually lead to a big mistake.

"Well, the last thing you need is experience. When the time comes, you can just wipe out the whole area.
"That's a trick. Why do I have to be a world debugger in the real world?
I'll tell you what, as a ...... veteran, it's a crabber's ship. There's no end in sight. ...... You can delete it, delete it, and it'll still have bug after bug. Regular employees collapse from fatigue and part-timers stop coming to work in the middle of the day. ...... How did you survive?
Really? ....... You're going to run around the world to deliever those bugs?　That's absurd.

In order to fully revive [Alfea Megas], you have to send a large amount of existence value - experience value - which is the power of the soul. It's leveling through the power of the contract.
　It's the power of the contract that removes the power from the demon that was originally affected by the foreign power and returns it to its proper form. But Xellos and the others can't do that, so they have to recover the power by defeating them.
　The only way to restore the power of the altered providence is to send it back to the observers, even if they are not ready.
　However, it is difficult to recover the alien Legion that causes bugs in the world management system. Alfea Megas has the ability to do so, but at the moment, she cannot operate outside the world and is weaker than the four gods.
　The programmer who can fix this annoying bug is currently under medical care, so we'll have to leave this shitty system anomaly for a while.
Even Zeroth and his team can't do anything about this.

So, when are you going out hunting?
Hmmm ......, you're poor now. You need to earn some money to live on.

　When you go hunting, you need to buy medicine in case you get injured.
　Other necessities include food, tents, and rope. Ad, who had already used up most of the potions in the Kingdom of Isaras, had to buy them.
　It's not like some games where you can drop money by defeating demons.
　An hour later, Shakti began to make simple brooches and the like with her [Engraving], Lisa was knitting lace with a thin knitting stick, and Ad was working on making potions.
　The old man, by the way, was smiling wryly as he placed a potion of a somewhat suspicious color in a bottle.

By the way, where do you sell these potions?
"I'll get a few and set up a stall in town. There are a lot of people who do the same thing for a living, and it gets crowded in the early afternoon and evening. Hopefully we can make some money.
"......, Mr. Zeros. You can't be serious.

　I know the ad. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
　This is the face of a merchant who appears on a whim and sells highly effective items, weapons, and armor.
　They were called [Fishy Peddlers] because of their shady appearance.
　In another world, the mysterious peddler is back. I was afraid of what he would sell, so I just endured the fear.
　The victim tells ......, "Will there be another victim...?

　The murmurings of Ad did not reach his ears, and the old man said, "Should we speed up the hunt to gather materials? The old man started to think about his plans.
