The Tale of the Teapot Hero's Revenge

27 Tree Sea Trap

Creepy even during the day, Hulp's Great Tree Sea.

We go ahead with Joana in the woods where we hear suspicious ringing.

The feet are muddy, drooling with melted snow and difficult to walk.

"Or I'm more and more scared than the streets..."

"I'm sorry, I brought you here"

Melo didn't want to get involved in anything dangerous, but it's more dangerous to leave him alone in that place.

I think you're still safer with us.

"Yes, no..., because you can use magic! You can fight if you have to!

Oh, speaking of which, you were this little wizard.

Magic......, my [boiling] sounds like a magic classification too.

"You know, magic, for example, after you put out a flame, you can change shape and throw it at me, right? How do you do that?

"I don't care what you say, that's all you can say, this is it"

Oh, does this kid feel like he doesn't know much about it?

I'm still a kid, I don't know what else to do.

"Didn't you just think about being rude?

"Oh, that's not true, is it?

"You're lying. I regret it, and I'll explain it properly."

Surprisingly sharp, this kid.

They just spotted me.

"First of all, you're going to use magic to make flames, right?

"Yeah, yeah."

"That flame has plenty of magic of its own, so you can manipulate it as you wish. But I haven't really figured out why I can manipulate it."

"It is. You're using something you're not sure about."

"I don't know, but we can manipulate it somehow because we're all manipulating it for granted. One theory says you can do everything you think possible, that's magic. Well, generating flames and soil itself requires a little bit of a tricky theory, like a surgical ceremony."

I mean, it is.

I really don't know why I can make it work, he said.

... I can if I think I can, I wonder if this applies to my [boiling] as well.

If so --.

"Both of you, stop"

Whoa, Joana's stop order.

Melo, stop your legs together.

"Look, from this bush to beyond, there's a thin thread through it that you can't see"

"This, a trap?

As Joana nodded and started with her fingers,

Hubababa, stostosto sto!

Three arrows flew in and pierced the trunk of a tree one step away.

"Primitive trap, but if you hit it, you'll die, so be careful"

Melo nodding over and over in blue, I wonder if you're okay.

I knew I was worried.

Afterwards, continue to the back by cutting through the pits where the wooden spears were planted and the traps where the rocks rolled.

Footprints on the mud became like signs of the road, going deeper and deeper.

This is obviously snuggling.

"What are you going to call them?"

"Come on? I'm sure it's not even Locke."

I agree.

But whatever trap awaits, I'll crush it all and butch Liquino.

Definitely help Beato out.

I'll make you regret what you did to that kid.

I wonder how far we've progressed.

We finally discovered a building in a tree sea.

It must have been made out of trees around here. It's a shabby wooden house.

"... I think that one"

"Looks like it. Well, I don't know how to get out."

Hide in the bush and see how it goes.

Only traps so far, no miscellaneous fish raids.

Everyone who survived should be waiting inside.

"Melo, magic, what can you do?

"What I'm good at is dirt magic. You can hit a big rock or something."

"All right, hit that borough shop... can't I ru it? I'm gonna crush it all the way to Beato."

"Murder ahead of time, be a little more calm. The enemy won't harm Beat, I'm sure."

Sure, they prioritized securing Beat over killing me.

I don't know, come on. It's important.

"... little stone, can you magically make it fly? I need you to tap the window."

I feel like I saw it, no sign of it by the window.

Even if the stone jumps in from there, it shouldn't hit Beat.

I can't even hit the enemy.

"Think it's a raid, it might pop up"

"Copy that! Mummy......"

When Melo remembered, the pebble floated around this kid in large quantities from nowhere.

Now, it was created from nothing, absolutely.

Magic is amazing.

"Rock rush......!

Shouting in a low voice, the stone slams across the window at a fierce speed.

He broke the glass and reached the opposite wall, penetrating it to the other side.

If you point this at a human, your body will become a beehive.

Maybe you can rely on me unexpectedly, Melo.

"... uhh, doodle"

"Whatever you say, nothing happens."

Surprisingly, nothing happens.

It's not like someone's gonna pop up, and I can see a chill shadow through the window.

I can't even hear footsteps.

"This is just unnatural. Could it be..."

I guess the possible possibility is that there's nobody in there.

You think Beat was taken elsewhere and we were led to a misunderstanding?

If so, it's pretty bad.

"... let's go"

The three of us nod each other, slowly approaching each other.

I'll follow you to the window of the borough shop and take a peek inside.

No one.

After all, did you lose him?

Grrrrrrr!!

"Oh, my God, to my Azito! You're welcome, right?

Oh, good, I didn't lose sight of it.

Operation Hissing in the bushes around you and surrounding you close to the cabin?

There's no art to come around again.

A dozen or so Zako crept towards us, and there is Liquino on the other side of that siege.

"... Huh!...... Huh!!

And Beato, too, is caught by Liquino.

... Ok, Beat is safe at that distance.

"Melo, can you kill people?

"What?... Huh?

"Sorry, I knew you couldn't do it. Forget it."

Right, you can't calculate Melo into battle power, can you?

I don't want a 10-year-old girl to kill anyone.

"Joana, take Melo inside the cabin. Leave this place to me."

"Hey, you got blood on your head again--"

"Calm down, it's okay"

"... ha, okay. You have an idea."

Yes, I have an idea.

Only if I can get involved when I can be there.

When you make sure you two jump inside the cabin, you get your hands on the ground.

This forest, the trees are too dense for sunshine at all, so the ground doesn't seem to dry.

Even while I was here, melted snow made it difficult for the ground to walk into mud.

It contains plenty of water.

(... magic is important that you think you can)

Naturally, reason doesn't matter.

Remember what Melo taught me, sending magic into the ground.

It doesn't boil on the spot, it lets the mud moisture transmit magic, and it boils beneath the feet of the twelve Zakos that are approaching me, all at once, in pinpoints.

"Remote Crushing (Remote Blasting)"

Bong!!

The ground exploded, and the mud splattered with the stones of the ground.

Yay, bump production, but success.

"Ghaaaa!!

"What is this, I'm here, I'm fine, I'm not!!

The mud sticks together, so even if you try to pay it off, it just spreads.

And [boiling] won't stop either.

The stone also jumps out with great momentum and strikes the enemy like Mero's magic just now.

Men who bathe themselves in boiling mud and fall into boredom.

Some of them have bigger stones piercing their bodies, and they're already dead.

All you have to do is run through at full speed.
