Lesson 13: To the bottom of the valley.

We all go to the entrance to the Rio Valley, close to the same Oneiros as yesterday.

"Destination is there."

Sylvia points to the back of the valley.

But the sight of the river flowing all the way to the bottom of the valley just keeps coming and I don't know where the destination is.

"You can see that."

"Oh, you know this."

Map that appears in the corner of your vision.

A map of Sylvia's passing location was drawn in the Riol Valley, showing the destination in green dots.

"There are dozens of giants here."

"You have a long way to go."

"I have no choice. There are no entrance stairs around the destination, and the best way to get close without finding them is to go down here."

I want to proceed in a direction that avoids contact as much as possible until I have more information about the Giants.

We could jump off a cliff, but it's safer to use the stairs slowly.

Yesterday we jumped. Ira and Iris are also using the stairs together.

"Wow, are you sure you're okay?

Noel, standing on a cliff, looked down and groaned.

However, due to being too close, the parallax and fragments are falling to the valley bottom.

"Wow, it's not like I'm heavy!?

"That's all I know."

What you have to worry about than the weight of Noel is how the valley bottom looks.

There were only five giants yesterday as far as I could see, moving my head around and looking for something... more alert than saying.

"Yesterday, an escaped giant was reporting our presence. The Giants under orders must be on the lookout."

"You're not on guard for that."

"It's not that I didn't, it's 'I can't'"

Sylvia tells me to look at the Giants' necks.

I can only see the swollen neck of my muscles when I'm told to look at it.

"I shouldn't be in that state."

The range of motion of the neck is narrowed due to excessive muscle distension.

Thanks to this, we have more blind spots up and diagonally back than humans.

"So don't be alarmed. Instead, sensory organs are developing."

Sylvia herself didn't make any noise while tailing him, but she made noises by throwing stones to different places and so on to ascertain the Giants' reaction.

Even where you can't see it, you need to be careful if you're going behind it because you can pick up the sound.

"If you're saying this neighborhood is a dead end, should I ambush you?

Stand over the heads of the giants at the bottom of the valley to see how it goes.

It can be reached in an instant if it is about 20 meters high, and it can also be ambushed by giants away from the stairs.

"But they're human, okay?

"... I want to go in a direction that won't hurt me if possible. But if we're gonna make our own safety a priority, we're gonna have to make some sacrifices."

"Yeah."

Ira and Iris pull out their swords.

Giants in a fragmented position. If you say your senses are sharper, it's dangerous to use magic. Now I want to avoid more contact than necessary.

The two jump off a cliff.

The sword is directed at the giant tribe below, and it will be reached in no time...

"Get down, please!

Sylvia pushes my body down with the screams.

Immediately afterwards, something passes overhead.

"What..."

When I looked up, the cliffs that were nearby were gone like they had been decided by something, and I could see the smoke dancing.

"I'm the one who was caught off guard..."

"I didn't even notice anything."

Sylvia regretted not being able to detect it until just before, but Noel regretted not being able to detect it at all.

That was all ambushed from afar to within a moment.

"That's the enemy."

"It's also an intelligent giant race"

Down the stairs was the giant tribe more than three meters long.

considerably smaller than the mother giant we encountered yesterday.

But the giant whose hands have been stretched out unusually while his mother giant was a large human being. Normally, a hand that reaches as far as the waist reaches to a position beyond one's own knee. My hands are on the ground because I stand bent over my knees in that shape.

From its appearance, the image holds as if it were a monkey.

"Where did he come from?

"It's from the ground. Apparently I've been watching the opportunity for a long time, and I was able to notice the moment I jumped in to launch the attack."

He jumped from a distance like a monkey.

Giants capable of surprise raids from places beyond Sylvia's alert range.

"Hey, are you okay!?

"Don't worry about this one"

Ira's voice is heard from the bottom of the valley.

I was just looking up at the slaughter of the last giant tribe.

I slashed it, but I just slashed the tendon in my leg to keep it from moving for a while.

"Well, what do you think he's going to do?

"... I don't really want to think about it, but you think it's 'bait'?

Though the bouncing giants look close to humans, the way they are exposed in front of them is never human.

Hairless bald heads, my eyes are definitely capturing us from the emotions emanating from the void, but I don't know what I'm looking at. Above all, Noel rated 'bait' because he saw a massive flow of saliva coming out of his sloppy open mouth.

Close to the exposure of hungry animals.

"Harrah, Hetta"

……

A voice is uttered from the mouth of the giants.

Both the three giants we encountered yesterday and the giants below were roaring, but never uttering a word.

"It was something similar in the cave."

It seems that the Giants who fled were reporting about us, but even then, they took the time to report by gesture and never uttered a word.

"Then maybe this guy's special."

Jump and the Titans will attack you.

I'm the target. Expand the junction to the front and take it.

"Knock..."

Invisible shield. I'm trying to force myself into that.
