We have a level system in place for mankind.

scene: Food shortages in 70 Higashishita towns

We have retrieved the link crystal on the wall.

"Don't make this important."

Muto nodded at my words.

We need to retrieve what's in the transfer dome in Jesus City.

Misaki said with a serious face.

"But first, let's see what's in the food area."

Kawai appears to be interested in what can be recovered in the food area that leads from Miyamachi's transition dome.

I see. Let's just go to the food area. "

We moved to the food area. It was a stone circle with ten pillars ahead of it.

Well, is this the food area?

Muto, Tadahiro, and Sanya look around. The stone circle existed on the hill.

"You have a good view. Ah, isn't that Mount Penglai?"

Elena pointed to a distant mountain. There is certainly a familiar mountain. Determine some landmarks and look at the visible angles to see where they are.

"The forest over there, it looks familiar to me, but it's the forest where the fruit was harvested."

The forest I said I recognize looks a little darker green than the surrounding forest.

Misaki began to look for something with her eyes closed.

"What are you looking for?

"If that was the forest where the fruit was harvested, there wouldn't be a stone circle with 13 pillars."

I see, I started looking for the Stone Circle, too far away to find it.

"Yes, there is something good."

Elena pulled out a small shadow bag from the shadow space and took out the binoculars from inside.

"Oh, there it is. Stone Circle."

Looks like Elena found the Stone Circle she was looking for. I'll borrow binoculars to check the Stone Circle. Definitely. That's the Stone Circle.

"Then there's a stone circle across the woods that transfers from Jesus City."

"Hey, lend me your binoculars."

Misaki raised her voice.

Misaki seems to be looking for something with binoculars.

"Oh, I knew it. A flock of pink mammoths are wandering around."

I look sloppy. It's terrible that such a big guy is in a crowd.

Hiroki and the others asked for binoculars. They want to check it out for themselves. I found the pink mammoth and was making noise.

"Well, let's go downstairs."

Muto began to go down the hill.

"I wonder if the distance here is shorter than the distance in Japan. Or is it a coincidence?"

Elena leaned her neck.

"I don't know. But we have to do something about the pink mammoth to get to that forest."

Defeating that Mammoth will require an attack of my Dark Phase Gun class. I think it used to be written in a book that humans had defeated mammoths with traps and spears.

However, given the effort to create a trap like dropping a pink mammoth, it is not realistic. It would be best to go far into the woods to avoid being found by pink mammoths.

We took a little detour to the woods. On the way, I made an unexpected discovery. I discovered a plant that looked like a sugarcane.

"Wow, if this is really cane, you don't have to worry about losing sugar."

Elena, Misaki, and Hiroki were delighted. Actually, I'm happy, too. I also like sweets.

I packed my shadow bag with lots of sugarcane plants. It wasn't just sugarcane that I found. Tadahiro discovered a small river and plants like wasabi were found there.

However, the river was inhabited by giant lizards. It's about three meters long and resembles "Wow," but there's a red fin on the back.

"Can you eat this fin?

Muto murmured. After I tilted my neck, I put on a shadow blade wolf toothpick. The fins were fierce, but with all the powered Explorers, we could defeat them without any problems.

"Is the mackerel good?

Hiroki asked a question. Sanya and Tadahiro shrugged their shoulders. I don't think you can tell by asking us.

"I wonder if the mackerel resembles chicken. It feels like juicy chicken breast."

It seems that Misaki has had experience of eating beef. Hiroki nodded as if they were impressed.

We cut off the fin head, bled out, and then threw away the guts. Put it in a shadow bag. I thought I'd share the meat with everyone if I could taste it.

After hunting three armored pigs and harvesting the petite potatoes, we returned to the Stone Circle. Take a break and then move on to Miyamachi.

From Miya-cho to Osawa-cho, head to the coast and return to Jesus City by boat.

I didn't feel like doing anything that day, so I went to bed for dinner.

The next morning, when I got up, the flesh of the fins came out for breakfast. I asked Dr. Kato to look into the flesh of fins and sugarcane and wasabi, but it seems that only the flesh of fins is OK.

The next day, the four of us go to the park's transfer dome. I was relieved to see the link crystal remaining in the dome.

"I was worried that Ryuzaki and the others might have recovered it, but I'm glad."

At that time, Ryuzaki and Hibino entered the dome. The fact that Hibino also entered means that he defeated the Guardian.

"Are the cozillos going to the food area?

Since Link Crystal was the purpose this time, I did not intend to move to the food area.

"No, I just got back from the food area."

I see. What did you pick up?

I don't have to answer, but I'm not hostile to Ryuzaki, so I'll tell you.

"I hunted the fin and armored pigs and harvested the buckwheat potatoes."

"Armoured pigs are like armadillos. What kind of guy is a fin?

"It's a monster with a tall fin. Meat tastes like chicken."

Ryuzaki thanked me.

"By the way, I don't see any vineyards, but what's the matter?

I'm just gonna be a little late.

When I heard Ryuzaki's answer, Hibino frowned.

"He drank too much and got hungover. I wanted to take a shower before I left, so I told him to go first."

Fujibayashi and Ryuzaki didn't seem to be doing very well.

"He's the only one hunting for the Guardian, so I'm the only Guardian Killer in Higashishitamachi."

Hibino seems to be accumulating dissatisfaction.

"What about food in Higashishitamachi?

The faces of Ryuzaki and the others were cloudy. Apparently, the farmland in Higashishitamachi was also cheap. Well, they just turned fallow fields and wasteland into paddy fields and fields. I can't help it.

"Food will be scarce. Where's Higashigami?

"It's the same. An acquaintance who was originally a farmer said there was no choice. They say that if we keep making soil, the yield will increase."

"Well, it's the same everywhere. Is the food area a remedy? However, I never thought that only those who defeated the Guardian would enter the food area. If only we had hunted guardians early and raised powerful Explorers...."

Ryuzaki seems to regret it. There came the vineyards.

"What, you want me to take you with you?

I looked at Fujimori's face.

"No, we're going home."

I see. There are four people in Higashikami-cho. Higashishitamachi is losing. "

I didn't know what you were talking about, but I think you're talking about the number of Guardian killers. When I saw Hibino's face, I was angry.

We decided to go home. When I left the park and entered Koki Ward, the river well opened its mouth.

"Hey, what do you think the mayor of the toilet will do if Higashishitamachi is out of food?

"I don't want to think about it, but I might try to get some food from Higashigami."

Looks like we need to talk to Muto and the others.

The river looked anxious.

"I don't suppose it's going to be like grazing food in Higashishitamachi and Higashikamimachi."
