Late. Tamer's day.

The transfer of the apprentice knight to the forest was really easy.It was no different than jumping to another town.Moreover, thanks to the permit, it's free.

In an instant, my vision switched, and I was moving from the square to the refreshing woods.

It must be a small square built in the woods.In the center is a transfer stone tablet and a log cabin.Also, in front of the cabin, there was an NPC dressed like a horse.

However, Gorimacho's tall, grim-looking old man carried a huge axe, which was quite powerful.Yu, you're a friendly opponent, aren't you?

They're coming from the other side before they can call us.

"Welcome to the Apprentice Knight Forest. Are you training?"

"Um, I'm here to hitch a ride with a monster..."

"Oh, Tamer-san!" Do you need an explanation of the forest? "

Apparently, the old man was the explainer.It didn't match the force and the role.Other events might even treat you like a very powerful helper.

First of all, this forest has three layers.

"Three layers? Are you saying that the area is divided into three?"

"Oh, a shallow layer of bright forest like this one."The materials and monsters are all there, and it's said to be for beginners. "

From there, it seems to be divided into the middle and deep layers depending on the density of the forest trees.Deep into the forest, the light is blocked and it seems to be dim even during the day.

Moreover, there were quite a few powerful monsters in the depths, which made it a training ground for the knights.

My old man insisted that I should definitely keep it to the shallow layer.Even at the middle level, I don't have enough power.

Even if they didn't tell me, I would never go to such a scary place.

What types of ridable monsters are available that can be tamed in the shallow layer?

Except for the special ones, there are basically three types.

My uncle tells me the characteristics of monsters.

The most common monster that appeared was a monster called Branch Deer.As the name suggests, it looks like a deer-type monster.

"However, these guys are a little nasty to ride on their backs."You need a sense of balance to get on it. ”

Um, is that a sense of balance?

I need more than 20 skills and agility.

Yeah, that kind of thing.

I'm glad I don't need real motor nerves, but I can't use my arm strength and agility 20 normally.I was agile enough to use my gear for 20, but I only had 14 skills.

How about the other two?

“A lot of brunch deers are followed by two-legged birds called dashbirds.”

This was a so-called ostrich type bird.He also had a way of attacking by kicking, and it seemed to be pretty strong if he grew it.

However, Dashbird naturally had the necessary stats for riding and needed 20 Health and Dexterity.

Regardless of your Dexterity, your Health is impossible.

"Then, it's the last one."It's quite unusual, and it doesn't come out in public. "

What a monster!

Become a horse-type monster called Cute Horse.

Is that a cute horse?

"Oh, you're such a cute little horse.However, because of that, it's not very popular with knights. "

"If you can ride, you can be cute."Rather, would you rather be cute?However, there is a status restriction, right? "

"Hmm. We need 20 intellect and 20 minds." What do you say? "

Safe! Then no problem!

Thank goodness you have a rideable devil.

"Where do you think it will appear...?"

"Hahaha, you can check that with your own eyes!"

Can you tell me that much?It was scary to enter the unknown forest by yourself, but it seemed like I had to actively search for monsters.

"Alright, let's go to the shallow layer to see how things are going."Everyone, please protect me. "

Mm!

"Mogumo"

Tori!

Good, reliable! Today's avant-garde trio is too dependable!I'm starting to feel like I can do it!

The current party has returned to the field and restructured it with a strong balance.Ortho, Dorimer, Orea, Rick, Rufre, Lilith.

It's the first time you've set foot in the field.Prudence is a priority.

In the first place, it's already evening. Nights can be dangerous, and we can't spend much time exploring.It will be like seeing how it goes today.

We led Ortho into the Apprentice Knight's Forest.

Near the entrance is a refreshing and very beautiful forest.It would be great to put a beach chair here and bathe in the forest.

I don't know which part of the continent it is in terms of location, because it has been transferred.However, there was nothing unusual about plants or insects.Is it similar to the vegetation in Areas 3-4?

In a short time, low-quality medicinal and poisonous herbs were collected.There are no unusual materials, and it might really be the equivalent of a third area.

It was about 30 meters into the woods.Sign sensing skill captures the presence of monsters.

Rick, with his vigilance skills, felt the same signs of a monster as I did.

"Guys, over there!"

Kikuku!

When we were ready, the grassy area rattled.And then the big rat with the front teeth glanced at her face.

It's a tooth mouse, isn't it?

"Mm."

The level wasn't too high either.After all, the shallow layer is definitely for beginners.If this is the case, will it be all right to explore at night?

For now, let's take this one down!

Mm-mm!

"Don't underestimate me because I'm a tooth mouse."They're enemies of the new field.I don't know what kind of special opponent it is! "

"Mogumo"

Well, it was an instant kill!
