Silva: 「Please proceed with caution」
Hiiro: 「You’re trying to say that there are also ht?」
Silva: 「Nofofo(1), precisely」
In response Hiiro’s perceptiveness, Silva responded with a bea smile
As they plowed through the field while row restless
Hiiro: 「Is this about that thing you were looking for?」
Silva: 「Yes It was supposedly growing around this area, yet…」
As he exaaze focused on a single flower
Silva: 「Oo~(2), here it is!」
Hiiro siaze What was present was a flower that blossoold Its shape and appearance somehow resembled a rose
Silva: 「Uu~(3), I was finally able to obtain it, Ojou-sama~(4)」
Taking a handkerchief froht forth by overflowing emotions Perhaps Silva’s heart was moved due to the fact that he achieved his mission in such a treacherous area where one could die at anytime
Silva: 「Nofofofofo! I have successfully retrieved the 《Golden Rose》(5)!」

The environ was so substantial it would nitude 5(8) earthquake was occurring Following this, a crack ran across the ground that the 《Golden Rose》 was growing on Fro seemed to be squeezed out
「Kiii~!(9)」
What had raised such a peculiar cry was a monster that had the 《Golden Rose》 appended to its head as hair It’s body length was about the size of a passenger carriage’s height, and it had sharp needles covering its whole body It was a s
Silva: 「A-as I thought, this it’s been infected by a parasitic cactus!」
Hiiro: 「What kind of monster is it?」
Silva: 「Parasitic Cacti usually sleep in the ground, however, they occasionally feed by latching onto high vitality flowers for their nutrition! The 《Golden Rose》 has oft been referred to as the ‘rose that will never wither’ Its not a plant whose vitality would be classified as miniscule In addition, the flower also possesses special effects I had anticipated that a Parasitic Cactus would feed on it, however, I sincerely wished that I would not have to encounter one」
Hiiro; 「I see」
As he returned a faint nod, he instructed Mikazuki to keep her distance
Hiiro: 「Well then, although it was hard to do anything earlier, it looks like I’ll be able to move as I please this time I’ll help you clean this up」
Silva: 「Please wait, Hiiro-sama(10)! If you were to use fire, then-!」
In as state of panic, Silva shot off a string of words
Hiiro: 「I know You’re saying that I’ll end up burning the 《Golden Rose》, right? Calonna use fire」
As he spoke, he drew out his 『Thorn Sword – Piercer』 Seeing this katana(11), Silva was impressed as he widened his eyes
Silva: 「Nofofo, that is the 『Thorn Sword – Piercer』, is it not!?」
Hiiro: 「Nn?(12) You know of it?」
Silva: 「Indeed As-」
However, as if restating that this was no time for leisure, the Parasitic Cactus’ needles flew at them
Silva: 「Nofo!」
Hiiro: 「Yotto(13)! We’ll talk later! First, let’s crush this guy!」
As the two evaded the needles, they distanced themselves from the cactus
Silva: 「H-however, are you certain about this? This opponent is of substantially high skill 」
Hiiro: 「Fun(14), it’s perfect for levelling up Oi(15), Cactus Man! If you’re gonna fight then get your ass over here!」
In face of Hiiro’s provocation, the Parasitic Cactus approached while raising a fairly loud groan If they were to collide, Hiiro would undoubtedly be skewered by theall over the Cactus Man’s body
Silva: 「As those needles contain poison, please be cautious」
Hiiro: 「Got it!」
Strongly kicking off the ground, Hiiro slipped past the Parasitic Cactus’ right side, turning towards its back As Hiiro was going to plunge his katana into the Cactus Man’s back, the Cactus began to shoot the needles on its back towards Hiiro’s direction
Hiiro: 「This guy-!?」
In an instant, Hiiro considered cutting down the projectile needles with his katana However, as the nu, he determined that he would soon become prey to a countless nu the end of him
Hiiro: (shi+t! If it comes to this, I should use the 「Protect 」| 『坊』word and-!)
