Chapter 282: Dancing lizards and kid vige<hr>
After lunch we headed to the Deep Red Wilderness. The members were Lily, Koihi, Darley and Astel. I decided to save Kurogane for when the elephants came out.
It''s the first time we came to the Deep Red Wilderness at noon, but first it was hot!
"Takuto~...it''s hot~"
"Isn''t it?"
Lily is down from the heat, but Koihi seems to be fine. In case you were wondering, I''m not good. Happiness sheep robe is not the right equipment to wear in the wilderness in broad daylight!
So I changed my gear and went with the me Wolf Robe. Well, it''s a little better. But it was still hot...Lily saw this and made a fuss.
"Ah~!? Only Takuto is cheating! You''re dressed cooler now!"
"It''s not unfair! I mean, you''re dressed much cooler than me!"
"Eh~? Really?"
Lily pped her clothes. I always tell her that she''s a girl and she shouldn''t be doing that, but she never fixes it.
With this in mind, we walked through the Deep Red Wilderness and found a strange group of people.
They were dancing in the middle of the wilderness. When I identified them, it was an enemy as I expected.
<b>Erimaki Dancer Lv20</b>
<b>Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active</b>
That''s a much higher level than I expected! But are they something I should attack? I feel bad if I attack them while they''re dancing.
But then I sense something strange. My body moves of its own ord and I get off Darley and start dancing. What the hell is this!?
"Ta, Takuto~!?"
"My body is moving by itself!?"
Even Lily and the others started dancing. Is this some kind of abnormal condition? But what the heck does this mean?
"Takuto~...I''m tired~...help me~"
"I''m...tired too..."
I get it! It''s torture to dance in the hot sun all the time! But there is no way to cure it. Because if you can''t move your body, there''s nothing you can do!
And if I danced all the time, of course monsters would find me. There''s a Naumann Elephant rushing towards me. Oh no, oh no, oh no!
...But even the charging Naumann Elephant started dancing. I learned the horror of the Erimaki Dancers.
As a result, we had to dance until the Erimaki Dancer was satisfied. After that, I sank them into a bottomless swamp to stop them from dancing.
If they danced again, I couldn''t stand it. After that, I called Kurogane and asked Lily and Koihi to deal with the naumann elephant. Darley, I and Astel shoot magic at the erimaki dancers. I wanted to fly, so I mainly used wind magic. Then we defeat the erimaki dancers.
After that, I joined in defeating the naumann elephant. The Naumant elephant''s basic method of attack seems to be rushing, but it moves slowly. It''s the same with Lily and the others.
"Ugh...I can''t get any power..."
"My legs...are heavy"
It was a long distance attack shootout with little movement. The Naumann elephant used earth magic and water spray from its nose for its long range attacks. Kurogane protected us, but the water sshed from the water spray was unavoidable.
As a result, we were drenched to the bone and the mixture of feeling cool and dirty made us feel very delicate.
"That''s it! Light Wave Motion!"
In the end, Lily defeated it. If it hadn''t danced with the Erimaki Dancers, the result would have been much different. We both...
I dismantle them, but there''s nothing from the Erimaki Dancers. These guys are confirmed harassment monsters.
From the naumann elephant I got the material.
<b>Naumann Elephant Ivory: Rarity 6 Material Quality C</b>
<b>Very well developed ivory. It is a very expensive material that absorbs moisture reasonably well, is easy to handle and is neither too hard nor too soft. Its workability is also superior to metals and crystals. It is mainly used for ornaments.</b>
Ivory was such a good material. I didn''t know that.
After that, we took a break and went on again, the temperature rose even higher and we found ourselves in the desert. However, it seemed that it would not let us go easily. Because there was a sandstorm raging in this desert.
I tried using the magic Sandstorm and Rain, but they had no effect. At least I''ve entered the desert, which means I''ve defeated Skull Orthros, I guess. But if I can''t go on, I have no choice. I was taught by Ruin-san. I headed to Kid Vige.
When I arrived at Kid Vige, I found it to be a true western vige. I like it. This kind of thing...it makes a gunfighter''s blood boil. I''ve only ever shot guns at street stalls, though.
"Are you new here?"
An old man with a beard and a cowboy hat approached me. Instantly, Koihi goes behind me. I thought it had disappeared recently, but it''s still there.
"Yes, can I help you?"
"Yes! Take a bite out of this!"
The man in the cowboy hat pulls a gun from his holster. Wait a minute! We''re not even dueling in the vige!
"Takuto! Look out!"
Lily goes on the defensive. Then Lily gets sshed with water...eh?
"Daahaahaahaa! Did I scare you? Here in Kid Vige, we have a tradition of sprinkling water on travelers and adventurers to cool them down when theye to the hot Deep Red Wilderness! What do you think? Feels good, doesn''t it?"
"Yes!"
"Oh! You''re a spirited girl! I like you! I''m going to buy you some of this town''s famous milk"
"Really!? Yay!"
No, it''s good that we hit it off. But I''m totally left out. The gun is a Reich weapon. There''s no way we can get them here. Still, a water pistol...is that okay? That uncle.
In the end, we were offered milk, but we only found out the name of that desert. It''s called the Sandwall Desert. It seems to be named after the wall of sand that is constantly being formed by sandstorms.
We explored the vige, but found nothing special. But if there was one thing that was different from other towns...
"Ahaha! Takuto, there''s cats everywhere"
At first it was just a single cat following behind us, but by the time we circled the vige, it had be an army of cats. And when we sat down for a rest, they swarmed us all at once. Why?
"I''m sure the cats could sense Takuto-sans charm"
It''s hard to get rid of them when you''re told that by Koihi...I was wondering what to do when I heard a voice.
"Konya! What are you guys doing, nya! Do you guys know how I feel, nya? But you can''t bother them, nya!"
Someone said and the cats moved away. Then I saw a girl with blue cat ears in front of me.
"Thank you for your help. Emm"
"My name is D''Artagnan. I''m a chartreux cerian beast, nya. I take care of the cats in this town, nya"
What did you say, nya...Ah, I''m infected. I''m going to have to get a hold of myself.
D''Artagnan may be better known as D''Artagnan. He is known for his famous novels The Three Musketeers and D''Artagnan Tale. He was a real person, a real musketeer, but his novels became more famous.
It was too unexpected to meet here. No, it''s definitely a gun connection, though.
"I''m Takuto, a summoner. Thank you for your help"
"This is also my job, so it can''t be helped, nya. But more importantly, summoner brother, do you by any chance have any matatabi, nya?"
"Eh? Yes, I do. What was the cause of that!?"
"It''s the matatabi"
Oh my God...matatabi is what the old elf said was the key to paradise. I can''t believe it was a cat''s paradise...I can just picture that old man''s mischievous face. Come on!
"Can''t you just let me smell it for a minute, nya?"
"Eh? No problem"
"Yes, nya! Older brother is a good man who lets me smell his matatabi, nya! Then I''ll take you to our vige, nya!"
When D''Artagnan put her hands together, the scenery distorted and became apletely different view. What? Where? Here?
"Wee! To Nukot Vige, the cait sith vige, nya!"
Wee!
I looked behind me and saw a lot of cat-eared young girls. I''m not sure if I''ll be able to keep up with it...all I understand now is that this vige is a paradise for cat-eared girls and that the old elf called it a paradise because of my lolicon title.<hr>
