My First Trip was to Another World

Explore the forest in earnest today. It will go slowly while checking the map.

There are few trees when it comes to forests. I'm not sure if I'm standing or dead. There's just a tall tree and a dead grassy bush. The ground is dry, sand rather than dirt.

To avoid trouble, we intend to avoid human contact as much as possible. There are adventurers around here, but soldiers are also patrolling. I don't think it's a problem to meet adventurers, but soldiers are troublesome. I have to show you my crossing permit every time I meet you.

Soldier patrols are also carried out in Arencia, as it is easy to be made a safe haven for criminals in the woods. I have to show my ID in both countries, but I don't feel good because every time I see him, he suspects me.

Going deeper and deeper. The demons in the woods are full of slime. Step on it as manners. On the map, there are occasional unregistered herd reactions, but they're probably wolf-like, so ignore them all.

"Hey, there's a big one over there. What do we do?"

Looks like Leeds felt something. Check the map a little closer. It's unregistered on the map, but I know it. Close to the signs of an ogre. He's the first big old man I've ever hunted since I became an adventurer.

Demons close to the shape of people, but not much resistance to crusades. Probably because it's too big. It's moving, but it's no different than destroying a stone statue. At last, demons have a strong sense of rejection. I feel like my instincts feel bad if I don't finish it off for sure.

I've grown since then, too. Now I feel confident I can defeat him with one headshot from a distance of 200 meters away. I'd like to try it.

"I know these signs. That's an orga. I want to try a time attack, so I'm just gonna go."

"... would you like to?

Everyone has their necks covered.

The time attack didn't go through. A lot of people do similar things, so the concept should make sense.

If you're in the range of sign detection, you're in range, but if you don't get close, you won't hit it. Trees get in the way, and the hit rate is low in the first place. 200 m in an open place. This is my limit now.

As I approached him, Auga noticed my signs and stopped by. He walks slightly as he leaves a big footprint.

I came as close as I could see. Last time it was light blue, but this time it was dark blue green. And a little metaphorical. Is this guy a different color too? The demons of this world are rich in color variations.

Release the bullet from the anti-material rifle. Determined to definitely stop with one shot, only one bullet has been put out.

"Pavan!"

The dry sound sounds. At the same time that noise sounded, Auga's head disappeared. The speed of the bullet exceeds the sound speed, so I can't follow it with my eyes, etc.

I guess this bullet can be avoided by 'I can see a little further' me, 'I can see the movement around me slowly' Luna, and 'I can sense the signs as soon as possible' Leeds.

Maybe I'll avoid Mr. Lily and instructor Grad as well. I think I'm going to do enough to analyze the hazard and orbit from the motion to avoid it. Is that it? That's quite a lot.

But no one is safe when it hits me. Except for physically invalid uroboros and ghostly demons, there won't be anyone you can't penetrate.

... If Claire's body is strengthened, I feel it won't work any longer. I'm still immature, but the intensity is stronger than mine.

Anti-material rifles have more weaknesses than I thought. Think about what to do when it doesn't work.

Grabbing and pulling Auga's legs as she pondered, she went back to where everyone was waiting.

"I'm home. It was pretty quick, wasn't it?

"Welcome back... Huh?

Claire's eyes dotted. Pocahontas and I open my mouth and watch Auga.

"Was this demon? It looks like an orga, but it's a little different, isn't it?

"Hmm? Really?

I thought the colors were different. "

I was a little convinced by Luna's point. They're subtly of a different kind. I guess it feels like broccoli and cauliflower. If I make it silhouette, I can't tell.

"Not so! It's not cyclops!

Don't go all alone on such a dangerous guy!

Cyclops? Was that the first big ghost? You'll never know until you look me in the eye. Unfortunately, I lost my head before I checked, so I can't tell.

"Um... Previously, Mr. Coe was a light crusader of a large aug. So we decided there was no danger this time."

"It's not light. It wasn't a blow last time."

"You had a blow this time..."

Last time it took a few bullets because the hit rate was too low. And Auga wore it out. I think I got half the purchase price.

Very pretty this time, except I don't have a head. They'll buy it out for quite a bit.

"Hey. It's so big, you're taking it?

Leeds says. But it's okay, the magic bag was made assuming this size. Fits in spare time.

I was just about to say that there was no problem...... and Lily got me ahead of her.

"Size will be fine. But aren't you going to the city for days to come?

Why don't you rot?

Ah... don't rot. Shit, it was totally out of my mind. If only the skin is peeled on this spot, it will probably rot because it cannot be properly treated. Besides, it doesn't feel good to skin a human-type demon.

But it's a shame to throw this demon away. It's a huge loss. At least a hundred gold coins. To solve this, it's a magic tool that can be saved or a magic of metastasis. This is a problem that could happen in the future, so we should take action as soon as possible.

"I spare you letting this go. Do you have any good hands...?

"Uh... um, that's hard. I'm just here, so do you want to go back to Alencia and sell it?

Wow, is that all you got? This also gets lost again. Even if I go back to Alencia now, I can be back in three days. It's not an impossible date, but we have a troublesome border crossing ahead of us. Coming and going in this short period of time would be suspicious no matter what you think.

If there's a city near here, maybe we can sell it there.

"Is there no city or village on this side?

"There's no way there is. It's a Cyclops habitat, right? It's too dangerous.

If it did, I wouldn't be able to sell it with my Atashi permits. If you're unlucky, you'll be confiscated. "

Too bad, isn't there a city? I mean, it's confiscation. I knew if I was going to sell it, would I have to go back to Alencia......

When I was thinking about it, Claire continued her words with a shuddering face.

"It's easy for you to hunt, right? If it was Cyclops, I'd be in the middle of nowhere. Give it up this time."

Claire advised me to stop. Let's throw it away this time. You just have to hunt again on your way home. Luckily, there are plenty of them.

Is there such a big guy? Seems pretty rare in Alencia and I haven't seen an aug since. You can hunt all you want if you're in a mess. Envy.

Peel the demon stone from the cyclops and discard the body. Throw it away and prepare for incineration.

"I think I know, but you can't cook it, can you?

Huh... I was willing to bake it. I looked around and noticed. I don't have a lot of moisture around here, so if I light a plant, it's going to burn well. The air is also dry and crisp.

If it's about incendiary, no problem, but the cyclops are about 4m in size. If I light this, I will definitely burn to the grass. Don't let the whole neighborhood catch fire.

"... should I bury it?

"Such a big hole, how do you dig it!

Not a good thing, but I'll have to leave you alone. It's gonna be okay anyway. "

I can't dig a hole. It's a magic shot. But they dig it up, so we run out of grass around here. It's not a good idea to have even fewer plants.

I feel dangerous feeding on demons, but I have no choice. Let's leave it.

Step further into the back as you crush the slime. I feel like I have no heart or more grass. I can see the mountains in the distance.

It's northeast of Mirzia and southeast of Alencia.

Speaking of which, the Sahirs we met in the Arencia Forest said they picked up Elf's magic equipment in the "river”.

There's no river around here. Where did they pick it up?

"Hey, is there a river in this forest?

"Huh...? I don't care what you think."

"Instead of the river, there's nothing like the waterfront, is there?

Probably came too far south. There's water near the Alencia border, so if there's a river, it's around there.

"No, just give me a minute. Milgia says there's a river that shows up in the spring and disappears in the summer. Maybe that's it."

Lily says.

Indeed, disappearing rivers are not uncommon in land with dry and rainy seasons. It also coincides with when Sahir went to Mirzia. Counting backwards from the day we met, those guys would have been in Mirgia at the end of spring.

That said, you can't fight Cyclops with their gear. Probably in a different place. Not around here.

"Where is that river?

"I don't know. It's a rumor I heard in Antiques City. It was called Veede Frominet. It's ancient. It means the River of Illusion."

Even though I have information that I don't care about, important information was missing. Do we have to look for it in the dark clouds......

The place where the river appears must have its own characteristics. There may still be puddles around it. The plants that grow also change. It would be a little bit of a valley.

We communicated the expected characteristics to everyone and decided to work together to find them.

"I don't think there's any water left. Because it sucks all the slime..."

You're an annoying demon for the book. Plants change because they can puddle. There may be no difference between plants if you do poorly.

I think I'll make some magic props just for slime extermination.

"It is also suspicious that the valley. I think the terrain is changing frequently because there are large demons like Cyclops walking around"

That guy's annoying too! Then there are no more features left. In the first place, the location of the river changes every year. It's no use looking.

"Sorry, stop looking for the river! Let's keep going east."

I came pretty east of Mirzia, but the air just got a little damp. More plants, lots of tree leaves. If we go further east, we're going to make it through the drylands.

I think there's probably a normal forest or river. It would be more efficient to base there and look upstream of the river. Maybe if we go upstream from there, we'll find the ruins.

There's no basis, but if we're going to make a city, we need water. All the ancient civilizations of Earth were occurring near the great river. That's likely in this world as well.

"Exploring Trans-Asian Ruins," which is my hope for a way forward, is right in front of me. However, it has been upgraded to Explore World Heritage Sites.

What is the site of the elf? I look forward to it now.
