Chapter 213

"────Magic?"

I couldn't help but ask back. When it comes to magic here in Greed Island, it usually refers to spell cards. I had also reserved and obtained them.

However, the nuance in what Tianwangxing put into his mouth was different. Perhaps it was magic in the general sense.

Magic... heh.

"Well, it's a bit of a charm-level effect, not that dramatic."

Saying this, Tianwangxing walked toward me.

He stopped in front of me.

"Aisha. Can you turn around?"

"Uh... yes."

I obediently turned around.

"Touch my hair."

I felt Tianwangxing's hand stroking my hair. It also touched the area where it was tied.

"Could it be... that rubber?"

"Yeah, that's right.

I'm working on this aspect. Now, let's go."

After Tianwangxing said this.

My body was wrapped in a layer of Aura.

"────……!! This is!"

Strictly speaking, no Aura entered my Sight Vision.

But I understood. My body was definitely being strengthened by the surrounding Aura.

"...'Ren', huh?"

When I turned around to ask, Tianwangxing was slightly stunned, then smiled.

"That. I wrapped your body in my Aura.

Because of the effect of the Kamiji carved on the hairband, the Aura I injected will protect you for a certain period of time.

... But there are some warnings.

First, this doesn't increase your own physical fitness. Just like when strengthening inorganic objects, it only strengthens the surface power.... But monsters should still be able to be attacked.

And, of course, you can't use 'Goo' to enhance your Sight Vision. So you can't see the Aura. Your Shoko remains closed. It would be best if I could see the Aura, but I can't do anything about that.

Finally, there is a time limit.

I can inject a maximum of 3600 Aura into that hairband. Regardless of the state, it decreases by 1 every second.

It will disappear after an hour, but the actual time limit is sooner. Your current Aura is 600. Basically, it will maintain this state, but if there are 10 minutes left, the manifested Aura will decrease proportionally with the decrease in the maximum amount of Aura.

So I can only fight normally until the remaining 5 minutes. By then, it will drop to the same level as the 'Kneading' of Seam."

Hmm. I see...

Not being able to see the Aura and not being able to use 'Ryu' is really painful... but compared to fighting without any Aura, this is nothing.

The problem is that you don't have experience fighting in this state yet. I think I just need to get used to this...

But this is a very good surprise.

────With this, I can fight! After lifting the forced "limit," I don't have to wait a month... What wonderful magic!

"Aisha, be careful.

I didn't tell you this beforehand.... Come to think of it, I thought you would be my friend."

Tianwangxing's words seemed to pour a basin of cold water on me, and I groaned.

As if taking care of me, Tianwangxing said:

"I know you're worried about not being able to protect yourself with Aura, and I know you've always wanted to fight.

After all, I don't want you to lead the fight. So it's insurance.

Even if there's nothing you can do because the danger is unavoidable this time, I don't want you to assume you can fight.

Most importantly, if my 3600 Aura per hour is taken away, I won't be able to maintain it.

Is that okay?"

"... Yes, I understand..."

That's right... if I keep protecting myself with Aura, Tianwangxing will keep consuming the value of two people. Since it can't be saved, is the fuel consumption poor?

"Are you done explaining?"

Meleoron, who had dropped his Wrap and squatted down, asked me helplessly.

"Oh yeah.

One last thing.

The monsters I want Aisha to cooperate with are giants and moles. There are many giants, and they have attack power, so it's dangerous if you don't defeat them quickly. Moles will surprise you from the ground, so you have no choice but to deal with them quickly.

I want you to help me defeat these two types."

"... I understand."

"Meleoron and Seam, please take a good look at them and remember them.

Someday, you must undergo Training to fight the monsters here."

"Eh?"

"Don't say 'eh'.

If you fight and win, you can earn money. Through Training, you can kill two birds with one Stone.

Come on, stand up! No need to take a detour, just slide down this mountain."

"Eh eh eh!!"

"So, it's fine.

Especially Seam. You are carrying Aisa's luggage. Sorry for the luggage sliding and scratching the wooden board."

"Uh..."

"Hahaha."

I wonder if there is a way to apply this kind of pressure.

"Alright, let's go."

"Please, you two, be careful."

Saying this, we slid down the steep hillside. Uranus is not dangerous at all. I was surrounded by an aura different from usual, and my sense of balance was a bit shaky, but I got used to it quickly.

Landing at the bottom of the plateau. Taking a step back, I looked up. Meleoron descended.

"My, my."

Somehow, I got off smoothly. As you can see, I have athletic nerves. I just don't have enough Training.

"Wow!? Understood!!"

Dizzied Seam. While making a sound and clapping, just as he was about to slide down,

"Yacht."

Uranus gently caught Seam's body; this body has majestic momentum. He took a few steps back, completely stopping his momentum.

"Seam.

... Hey, it's fine now. Escape."

Seam was wearing a hug from Uranus. After staying for a while,

"Yes..."

Leaving. He took slightly unsteady steps, approaching Meleoron and me,

"Seam, what's wrong with you?"

When asked by Meleoron, Seam, who was blushing for some reason, whispered:

"... You two, listen to me. Uranus, hugging her is really comfortable.

Although she is so thin, her stomach and back are really soft."

"Hehehe. Not in the bathroom, but... a mystery."

"Mm..."

I don't think you should say that to others, Seam, but yes...

Uranus herself just tilted her head.

"Hey, I'll be there soon.

Before it gets dark, I must observe and remember the monster's movements."

Uranus urged us to look at each other, and then we shrugged and started walking.

"Oh.

Everyone stay calm, keep your distance."

As we passed through the Rock Area, an armored knight holding a Sword and shield appeared before us.

While we retreated a few steps, only Uranus slipped past the armored knight and disappeared into the shadows of the Rock Area.

The armored knight took a step forward—

Crash, it collapsed.

"... It's boring when you know the trick."

Meleoron blurted out.

"It was originally a monster that tests whether you can notice it, but you just need to keep your 'Ren' eyes."

... That is to say, I can't do it right now. This is an ordinary opponent, but the compatibility is not good. I wish I could know where they are.

While we were talking, Uranus came back holding a card.

"Hey."

Handing it to Meleoron. Peeking at Seam.

《711: Remote Control Mouse》

H-Rank Card, limit 800.

A mechanical mouse that uses Hatsu to manipulate objects to protect itself.

Very timid.

Just faints upon suddenly encountering another creature.

They are prolific breeders and can be seen anywhere on the island.

"Phew...

I just wanted to see it."

"It turned into a card just by looking at it, that guy.

Ah, you don't have to put this card in the Binder."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because it's cheap.

600 Jenny won't help you with anything."

While Meleoron and Uranus were talking, I interrupted a little.

"Are you sure, really?"

"I think it is necessary to bring the specified pocket card."

Uranus looked at me,

"What Aisha is worried about is that this card is a condition for obtaining the 'If TV'."

"Well, it is not absolutely necessary."

"Really?"

"I should sell these Monster Card to the Masadora Trade Shop."

In this way, the Department Store will only sell one 'If TV'. It was information from Mr. Genthru, and it was a card that Gon and I were responsible for obtaining. I remember it very clearly.

"Yes. This is the normal way to obtain it."

"... Actually, you can also buy a 'Forced Reservation Ticket', and there will be a harvest."

Oh. Seriously! No, wait a minute...

"... I thought this was the condition for obtaining the 'Recycle Room'."

"Hmm."

"I wonder if this is really a trick."

"The trick is to use the Forced Reservation Ticket to buy the TV and the Recycle Room."

"If you sell a specific card to the Trade Shop in Masadora, the original method to obtain it is to sell it at the Department Store."

"Devil. If you do it normally, you can satisfy the conditions for the TV; conversely, if you do not use the Forced Reservation Ticket, you cannot satisfy the conditions for the Recycle Room."

After Uranus finished speaking, the Remote Control Mouse card in Meleoron's hand turned into smoke.

"Ah."

The card loosened, and the Remote Control Mouse fell to the ground.

A round mouse that looked like a plush toy woke up from the impact of the fall, then climbed up.

Did you notice our Shadow looking down, looking up at this face,

"... Ukyo!?"

Looking at us, it made a small sound.... I fell down again and fainted. The card has already been resolved, so it is the same.

"Oh ho."

"But it is really cute."

Meleoron said with a smile. Yes, well, but I fainted.

"Then, let's go."

"If we don't move forward quickly, the Sun will set."

"... Ah, Meleoron. Don't pick it up just because it is cute. Because it is a monster."

"No, no, if you don't do this..."

Meleoron, who had been staring at the mouse rolling its eyes, stood up helplessly. Uranus shrugged, turned around, and walked in the direction he had gone before.

When he started running, we also started running.

... You really know a lot. If you have time, please ask what the original requirements for obtaining the Recycle Room are.

"──Wait, is this a Slime this time?"

"This guy is a counter-attack type; as long as you keep your distance, you are safe."

In front of us, three purple Slimes appeared.

They are really Small Fish like in a game, but their size is relatively large, and they are not easy to defeat. Letting your guard down is a typical example of what is forbidden.

Uranus walked to the side of the leftmost Slime, confronting the three that were slowly approaching. While pointing with his thumb,

"These guys have a weakness. If you hit them normally and try to knock them down, you need strength, but if you aim for the core inside their bodies—"

While speaking, Uranus thrust his Sword into the Slime. A type of slime that turns into smoke when it sticks to the wrist.

"I defeated them easily just like this... You three, all come over."

This time Uranus approached the rightmost slime. Meleoron and Small Fish showed signs of hesitation, so I urged them while approaching the Slime.

No matter where we are, this Slime will go to the place we aim at first. If you don't get in the way, you won't be attacked.

Summoning and guiding Meleoron and Small Fish to look at the back of the Slime.

"Can I see it?"

"The core is moving inside the slime."

If you observe carefully, you will see a dark purple spiked mass moving inside the Slime.

"Hmm, I understand a little, but..."

"Isn't this too fast? Are you going to aim and attack it?"

Meleoron looked suspicious. It seemed he was frantically following the movement of the core with his eyes.

"When it floats near the surface, you should aim for the right timing."

"If you attack properly, you can even defeat it with the momentum of grazing it. Uranus, can I let you two try once?"

"Okay. Try attacking once with Meleoron and Small Fish."

"It is very elastic, so you should put in more effort than you imagine."

"Hmm..."

Meleoron raised his hands with a vague sense of confidence. The Slime kept moving, so you have to walk little by little, and aiming is a bit difficult.

"Ah!"

Meleoron's hand was buried by the slime. Boyon, it bounced back.

"Uh..."

"Is this guy harder than he looks?"

"That is why I said... you have elasticity."

Completely insufficient power. My speed is not enough.

Next, the seam.

"Yes."

Sim rolled up the sleeves of his jumpsuit and struck a pose.... It certainly had scales. Other than that, it seemed normal.

"Come on!"

Seam's arm pressed tightly into the slime. A seam was played forcefully and descended.

"Eta..."

Uranus crossed his arms.

"Aiming is a mistake... well, it feels like I cannot attack where I am aiming."

This part might take some time to get used to, but it requires Training. Being knocked down by the recoil is also dangerous.

Oh, Meleoron is impossible, right?"

"Uh."

Both of them groaned. Hahaha, the Training was worth it. Not good at all, you two. Especially Meleoron, you cannot fight to a level that surprises you, can you? I do not think you are a Psychic.

I cannot help it... shall I give you an example?

"Can I try too?"

"Yes, okay."

Uranus took out the Binder, put in the slime card he had defeated first, and answered casually. I want to see how much I can move in the state of "Zhou".

Infiltration pulled out the hand holding near the slime to release. Reading the seemingly irregular Flow of the core—

Pierced with five fingers. —The Hard sensation touched by the fingertips collapsed instantly.

The slime turned into smoke. I picked up the card while returning my extended hand.

"Well, I will do it right away...

You made a very natural face."

Meleoron looked surprised. If that is the case, I could even choose Absolute. I do not want to get hurt, but I will not do that.

"All you need is to aim quickly and accurately.

Moving target, you can think of it as a practice. If you get used to it, anyone can do it."

"Watching your movements just now, I felt a bit cold.

It was too useless, like a demonstration, I was scared."

Saying this, Uranus killed the last slime with a seemingly casual movement. The fingertips were a fist.

I smashed the slime's core, but Uranus grabbed the core, reached inside, and then smashed it. —I am probably someone who does not waste anything, but the way he defeated it made me feel at ease.

"722: Gum Slime"

G-Class card, card limit 306.

Highly elastic large slime.

It is difficult to defeat in one blow unless you hit the core flowing inside the body.

Meleoron and Sim were looking at the place where the cards were.

"Oh, I will throw that away too.

This is 900 Jenny, so it is an Obstacle."

Uranus said this while mercilessly throwing away the slime card that had been in the Binder. Hmm... that is a wise choice.

"If you throw it away from the side you took it from, do you not feel like you won or were defeated?"

Meleoron complained while waving the card in his hand.

"No... even if you say that, there is a limit to the number of cards you can have.

If you do not throw it away from the end you took it from, if you leave it like that, there is no end to it.

After all, it was Aisha and I who defeated them, so it is fine, right?

Come on, let's go."

Uranus started jogging without hesitation.

Meleoron hurriedly threw away the card and chased after Seam.

I let go of the card, watched the three of them with a bitter smile, and followed.
