29 Lesson twenty-nine, Mr. Martinas circumstances. (1/2)
”Well, why don't you go talk to him for a minute”
”Yes! But you don't know where he is.”
”Leave it to me. I have sheaf skills”
Use 'Tracking'. If the person I met that day is on the same floor, it's a skill that tells me where he is. The amount of time and range that can be traced back depends on the skill level. I can go after adventurers and monsters I met 24 hours ago.
”Sounds like you're on your way to a savepoint. When did they overtake you?”
”Rakun is amazing!
”Thank you. Then let's go.”
”Go!
Through the woods, out to the sandy beach.
”That's it.”
I saw a remote island with a stone building.
The tide is pulling, and the road is ready. I think I can cross.
”Prine, don't fall.”
”Yeah!”
The sea water and sand mix to walk on a little ground.
”Wow, that's funny!
”Don't run. That's really funny!
Chasing Mr. Prine, who runs right ahead. I'm gonna flip my cape and dress and turn this one around. You're a real pretty girl.
”Wabu!
If you don't fall.
Wow, that went out of my face.
”You're so crisp you don't have motor nerves...”
Prine is jittering with her face stuck in the sand. They can't pull it out. I grabbed the root and pulled it up.
”Pu Ha! Pu Ha! I thought you were dead!
”I'd be in trouble if they died like assholes in here. Here, wipe your face. Face.”
”Thank you, Ra-kun!
Prine wiping the grate face with the cloth I gave her.
Mm, I roar. I got caught up in the detection.
”Prine, it's a monster. Shoot.”
”Huh!?...... big crab!?
He was a big, human-sized crab. His name is also the Great King Crab. It's not walking sideways, it's coming straight at me.
Prine, who left mud on his face, set up a cane.
”- Water Ice Thorn” Ice Pickle ”!
The multiple ice thorns released from the cane stabbed crabs, and when they froze their surfaces, they scattered them into pieces. Seems this one is stronger than the brilliant line Pyro Ray for a single enemy.
A foggy monster. It is a victory.
”” Yikes!
I discovered it and Prine knocks it down.
Returning to the usual way of fighting, we made a high touch as usual and proceeded to a remote island.

Fifth layer.
Away island.
The stone building was a truly simple structure with only a staircase to the bottom.
Hold the frightened prine's hand, get the firelight on, and we go inside.
Getting off often.
That was a huge underground space.
Not so much a maze. The wide aisle is the main road, which eventually leads to the square.
In the square, there was a pond surrounded by stone. It looks like water is flowing from the top and falling further down. It is clean water.
Check the Alliance payment map and I snort.
”Here, it's the Fountain of Recovery. It's a savepoint.”
”You've arrived!
Drink water alongside the prine. Um, come back to life.
As we prayed and finished the save, the footsteps we noticed approached us.
”Dear Larna...”
Mr. Martina looks at me in an awkward way. There is also the figure of Jiji next door.
”Sorry to bother you again... We're going back to the Alliance...”
I say in a hurry.
”Well, that's what I'm talking about.”
”Yes?”
”Will you let me talk to you? Um, I was wondering...”
Tickle, and Mr. Martina blinks.
”Yeah, I don't mind...?
”Good. What are you doing here? Let's go back to the Alliance.”
Mr. Martina nodded.
”Yes, I did. But before that, Lady Lana.”
”What is it?
”There's a chest in that room over there. Please earn it.”
