We have a level system in place for mankind.

Fujibayashi, Ryuzaki, and Hibino moved to the food area.

First of all, it's a peppermint potato and armored pig.

"What are those peppermint potatoes and armored pigs?

"That's what the cozillos call it."

Fujibayashi smiled at the information from Ryuzaki.

"Hmm, that's a name you can't sense. Well, that's fine. I'll take care of the armored pigs, so please harvest the sweet potatoes."

Fujibayashi said so and went looking for the armored pig. Fujibayashi had a spear, not a Japanese sword. This spear is a spear accidentally stolen from the guardian of Tazaki City and is called a "lightning spear."

Fujibayashi easily discovers a herd of armored pigs.

"Now, why should I take it down? Let's make it a purple flame."

Available at skill level 5 of "Flame Manipulation", Purple Flame Fire is an attack technique that fires a sparkling blue and purple flame like a laser.

Fujibayashi, aiming with his right hand, fired a purple flame from his index finger and pierced the head of the armored pig. The penetration of Purple Flame is not that great. However, it was powerful enough to punch a hole in an armoured skinned head.

Fujibayashi opened the gate using the skill of "subspace " and threw in the body of the armored pig. The subspace that can be connected with this skill has the characteristic that time passes only while the gate is open.

Therefore, there was no problem even if the treatment such as blood drainage was postponed. However, because the capacity of the subspace secured by the skill level is limited, the vineyards of skill level 3 currently only have a capacity of three meters and four directions.

Fujibayashi hunted four armoured pigs and returned to where Ryuzaki and the others were digging out the sweet potatoes.

"How long have you been harvesting?

"About two tons. You'll need two tons more."

"Well, good luck. I'm going to explore a little."

Hibino stares behind Fujibayashi.

"He won't say I'll definitely help him."

"Give up thinking that's who you are."

Ryuzaki and the others continued digging out the sweet potatoes.

Fujimori headed towards the forest. Approaching about fifty meters from the forest, a giant tiger appeared.

"Big deal. It looks like four meters."

Fujibayashi, who had a lightning spear in his left hand, first fired a [purple flame]. The blue and purple flames hit the giant tiger and burned the striped fur. But just burning the surface won't do much damage.

Fujibayashi set his tongue on a lightning spear. The giant tiger stared at the vine forest and flew over the giant. Tiger fangs that jumped and attacked the vine forest from above clashed in the air.

Fujibayashi jumped sideways. A spear was thrown out by a giant tiger who landed. A giant tiger with a lightning spear and a tough movement characteristic of the cat family, wipes out the vine forest with his forefoot claws.

A sharp nail grabbed the vine forest. Fujibayashi looks moody when he sees blood falling from his shoulders. The Burst Flame was fired in about ten consecutive rounds. The Tiger doesn't seem to be taking much damage.

The distanced vine forest took out the potion and drank. Fujibayashi, holding a lightning spear in one hand, looks at the giant tiger and throws it with all his might. The lightning spear flew with a bee discharging and stood on the torso of a giant tiger.

At that moment, the lightning spear discharged high voltage electricity. The guts burn and the giant tiger collapses.

"Hmm, you made me do it.... it still doesn't seem to level up. You mean it's no use fighting in the food area? But I can't dig potatoes. Time to go back to Tazaki."

Fujibayashi is not interested in securing food and seems to be chasing after his strength. The vineyards went into the woods, found apple-like fruit, and collected only a few. It's just what I eat.

When Fujibayashi returned to Ryuzaki and the others, the harvest of the sweet potatoes was finished.

Time to go home.

Ryuzaki sank a large shadow bag into the shadow space made with the help of explorers from Higashishitamachi.

"I think I went to the woods. What's in those woods?

"I ran into a giant tiger. Of course I did. The forest itself seemed to have a little fruit, but I think we need more armored pigs and sweet potatoes than fruit."

I wanted to harvest fruit if possible, but I don't have time. Ryuzaki and the others went to the Stone Circle and returned to Jesus City.

Ryuzaki and the others report to the mayor of the washroom that they have collected armoured pork and buckwheat potatoes in the food area.

Pork and potato again. Can't you do something about it?

The mayor wants to eat something different. This mayor is famous for his taste. They say they ate everything from monkey brain miso to cockroaches.

Incidentally, there are edible cockroaches in the world. Madagascar cockroaches seem to have a similar taste to shrimp. When the mayor bragged, Ryuzaki's hand trembled because of his desire to touch him.

"Mayor, I defeated the giant tiger and brought it here today. I don't know if it tastes good, but try it."

When Fujibayashi says so, the mayor looks happy.

"I don't know. I've never eaten a tiger. Give it to the cook. That's Fujibayashi-kun."

Ryuzaki felt sorry for the cooks. Because the tiger's flesh was tense and seemed disgusting. Chefs will struggle to make the ingredients tasty.

The mayor frowned at the amount of sweet potatoes and armoured pigs he had brought home.

"The amount of sweet potatoes is small. I don't suppose he was skipping it."

"It's hard to dig up this amount. If we don't increase the number of people in the food area, we won't be able to do any more."

The mayor looked upset.

"Shit, they defeated the Guardian in Higashigami. Is there a better way to do this?

Fujibayashi smiles badly.

"There is an unmanned town along the line where the armored train is running. How about sending Explorers to the city to defeat the Guardians?

"But there's no point in defeating a Guardian unless it's someone other than the Guardian Killer. Can you beat them like that?

The Mayor did not trust many other Explorers.

"It will be fine with the cooperation of the prefecture and the support of those who are guardian killers."

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

A little after the mayor and Fujibayashi got involved in the prefecture and made their own plans.

Once again, we went to the transfer dome in Mitani Town and fitted the link crystal we brought from the transfer dome in Jesus City into the wall.

"Now we have set the link crystal of Jesus City to the transfer dome of Mitani Town and the link crystal of Mitani Town to the transfer dome of Jesus City. Let's see what happens."

Only Elena, Misaki and Kawai and Muto accompanied me this time. We stepped into the pattern of transition. The floor shined and a message echoed in my head.

Select Destination

(i) Food area

[II. Jesus City]

"What, can we go directly to Jesus?"

When I raise my voice, Misaki,

"I see. Let's give it a try."

On Misaki's proposal, I chose the city of Jesus. The next moment, I lost consciousness for a moment.

When I open my eyes, I see a familiar sight. This is a transfer dome in a park in Jesus City.

"Ooh, I'm really in Jesus City."

I heard the voice of the river. When she saw Elena and Misaki, she looked surprised.

"Hey, this is amazing."

Muto was right. However, the problem is that only Guardian killers can use this feature.

We looked into the metastasis function of the metastasis dome and found out a few things. One is that simply setting one link crystal does not transfer directly to the other transfer dome.

And even in that state, it was found that if you pass through the food area and go to the stone circle of 10 pillars, you can transfer to the transition dome of Miyamachi.

Incidentally, I also found a locking system. It seems that if you lock the link crystal with your finger in place, others will not be able to take it out.

I locked the link crystal between Mitani and Jesus.

When we finished our Link Crystal experiment, Kumada, the leader of the prefectural elite team, appeared in Higashikami.

"Captain Kumada, why are you in Jesus City?

"A new plan has been launched in the prefecture. And I need your help."

I was a little vigilant when Captain Kumada told me that the plan was the Mayor's idea.

As a whole, the plan was to increase the number of guardian killers. I can agree with that aim. But somehow I don't like the idea of the mayor of the toilet.

After hearing and organizing the details of the plan, the Guardian Killer and the Ordinary Explorer are sent from each region to form a team and send them to an unmanned town to defeat the Guardians there.

"From Higashikami-cho, I want four Guardian killers."

"Who are ordinary Explorers?

Captain Kumada exhaled.

"The Hand Wash Mayor has already chosen an ordinary Explorer. I hear only Guardian killers leave Higashigami."

I found Misaki and Elena groaning. It seems that the mayor suggested it only for the benefit of Higashishitamachi.
