179 – EP.33 Easter Egg-5
I don’t know why Yata changed the genre.
However, I could tell at least one thing.
‘You’re saying you won’t meet me simply.’
I tried to meet with her to clear her doubts, and she showed her refusal by her actions.
But he said he would at least give him a chance.
The mutant laboratory mentioned in the event with Alice. In the deepest part, Yata awaits.
In that case, I’ll just go see her in person.
‘It’s good that I brought her weapon just in case.’
A state with a sword, scabbard, pistol and holster worn on both waists.
It’s ironic that I went to school with a weapon instead of a backpack.
However, now that the situation has changed so rapidly, it is no longer the time to choose between cold and hot meals.
In order to hear the truth of the lost memories, I have to get rid of everything that blocks my way.
‘For that to happen, I’ll have to find other divine beasts first, as Yata said.’
Yata is cunning, but he’s not the type to talk empty words.
If I went to see her alone, I would be really upset. That much I could be sure of.
That’s why it was important to accompany other divine beasts. In addition, if there is a rabbit and a fox like two heads of carriages, I feel reassured.
‘The question is, where are the divine beasts? ….’
First of all, it wouldn’t be inside the lab.
If you have confined divine beasts to accompany you to a place where you are told that it is dangerous to come alone, you must seriously consider the problem of Yata’s character.
Of course, I can’t say that his personality is good even now, but at least Yata was a crow who knew how to show mercy.
So the location where Yata placed her companion divine beasts is probably…….
‘It’s likely that he’ll be at the location of the event I went through yesterday.’
There were very few overlapping events among the heroines, which was strange enough to be attributed to luck.
The only meeting between the two was in Alice’s event, but it was an accident caused by the fox’s jealousy, so it was an exception.
Anyway, the places related to the heroines are all different, so I’d like to visit them one by one.
『Miho – Classroom
Cor – Restaurant
Tia – Garden
Alice – Game Club Room』
Keep the best route to reach each heroine’s location with the map window open.
The optimal efficiency was to start from a place close to the school gate where I am currently located and join in turn.
The nearest place that has been decided like that is…….
‘Haa, I never thought I would come back here… ….’
It was the garden where Tia encountered.
A garden as large as an eastern forest and inhabited by ferocious wild bears. This place was also full of traces of mutation.
It seems I’m out of luck, as the first battle I’ve finally had with mutants is in a wooded area.
In the case of the school hallway, it was open and had an advantage of view, but the garden did not.
Even if the mutant is leaning against a nearby tree, it can attack me by surprise.
Even the trees will be a cover to block the path of bullets and swords, so I voluntarily entered a very sh*tty place from the start.
It’s safe to say that it’s like a beginner entering a so-called high-level dungeon.
‘If only one of Miho or Alice had been by my side, I wouldn’t have bothered.’
I lift my heels to make as little noise as possible and step mainly on the lying grass.
Establish your senses as if the blade of a knife is standing. The eyes look left and right, but gradually increase the surveillance range from near to far.
The hand is always placed close to the weapon so that it can be taken out immediately in case of emergency, and breathing is only done through the nose, not the mouth.
Ten minutes to go slowly like this while keeping the sound down as much as possible. I finally discovered the first mutation.
“Quer Leuk!”
The creature with tentacles instead of heads was making incomprehensible sounds.
It is strange that they are making sounds even though they do not have any visible vocal organs.
If only time and safety were guaranteed, there would be a desire to dissect it at least once.
But now, I didn’t have that kind of leisure.
‘I have to finish it in one blow.’
With a sword drawn out silently, he stealthily approaches the mutant.
One step, another step, another step.
It approaches with light steps and casually cuts the boundary between its tentacles and the human body.
Suddenly!
With the sound of being cut neatly, the mutant’s head fell to the floor.
I smiled with satisfaction as it was worthwhile to train my sword steadily.
The moment I tried to keep moving forward while brushing off the blood of the mutants on my sword.
I heard a strange noise from the mutant I cut down.
“Queruk… ? Querreuk! Kwyreek!!”
It doesn’t seem to end with slicing off the tentacles that are presumed to be heads.
I realized my mistake and tried to cut down the mutant once more, but it was too late.
The mutant has already notified nearby allies of the enemy attack through a scream,
Mutations that had not been seen before started popping out.
“Querrreuk?”
“Queeruk Kwererelek!”
Of course I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but somehow I understood what they were saying.
It’s just my guess, but it sounds like ‘A fight?’, ‘I should join too!’
It’s an uncertain interpretation, but anyway, the appearance of the mutants that kept appearing was disgusting itself.
‘I had to deal with it in one shot… ….’
The time to regret it has already passed.
There was only one way for me to choose now.
Did you say that the wound on the back was a shame of the swordsman?
Then it’s enough to run away so that you don’t get hurt on your back.
I ran towards the back of the garden before more mutants gathered.
“Sweep it!”
“Querehehehe!!”
The mutants, realizing that I had chosen to run away, started chasing me with resentment.
Previously he ran away from bears, but this time he’s running away from mutants.
For some reason, it seems that I only run around when I come to the forest.
When I picked up the egg of the divine beast, when I fought Do-cheol, and when I passed through the trees, it felt like a daily routine now.
‘I thought I wouldn’t run away anymore after I got the power of the divine beast.’
It seems there is no such thing as absolute.
‘What to do? I can’t meet Tia in this state.’
Now that the unique abilities of the divine beasts are sealed, Tia must be the weakest divine beast.
Even with the same physical abilities, Tia, as a young girl, couldn’t handle these many mutations.
In the end, I had no choice but to fight back and reduce the number, or run away until they gave up.
‘The former is impossible.’
Watching the mutants rushing at you, the taste of fighting disappears.
I had no choice but to put more strength into my legs, when I heard a loud shout from the front.
“Keep down!”
I automatically ducked at the familiar voice, and at the same time a huge object passed over me.
“Squeeze?!”
With a dull sound, the screams of the mutants are heard.
It looks like Tia threw something at the chasing mutants.
I was curious about the identity of that something, so I looked back and there was a large rock holding down the mutants.
Tia helped me by throwing a rock.
“Yuu!”
“Tia, thank you…… Woah?”
I had to say thank you, so I turned my head in Tia’s direction.
There I came across a rather shocking sight.
It was nice to see Tia waving her hand at me happily, but the problem was the object in front of the girl.
Two mutants with their lower bodies buried in the ground about 100 cm apart.
The tentacle heads of the two mutants were woven together into a long string.
The object thus created resembled a slingshot.
“hehehe! Look at this, it’s my new weapon! I used this to blow rocks away just now! Isn’t it nice?”
“Uh… hmm….”
I’m sorry for Tia, who boasted with twinkling eyes, but she couldn’t say that she was cool even in empty words.
Instead, she admired Tia for using her mutation to create such a weapon.
“From now on, I will play a defense game with this!”
“But wouldn’t the number of enemies be too many to deal with just one?”
After hearing the roar from before, more mutants began to gather.
The sight of the swarming mutants was terrifying.
I wondered if running away with Tia would be a wise choice even now, but Tia was wagging her index finger and clicking her tongue.
“No need to worry! This is not the end of the weapons we have prepared!”
“Is there more than this?”
“Yes!”
Tia showed me the things she had made by pointing her finger at them.
That’s probably because all of Tia’s creations were out of the ordinary.
Bow strings made of tentacles, lasso traps made by weaving tentacles, bolas made of tentacles, etc.
All the weapons that can be made with the body of a mutant have been made.
“How is it? Aren’t I great?”
“Ugh… ….”
If Alice and Miho were vaguely the type to tear enemies to death, Tia was the type to use the dead bodies of enemies with crazy ideas.
In fact, isn’t our companion dragon not a wind dragon, but an evil dragon?
“Ugh! hehehe!”
It was the first time Tia was afraid.
