V7C159 (2/2)

Apparently, miasma would flow when people walk by and that would cause the birth of miasma stagnation and make it easier for monsters to spawn.

I wondered if it was reversed when I heard that making it flow will make it easier for it to stagnate. For water, a stagnant pond would appear cloudier than a flowing creek. That was the image I had in my head.

However, I heard that when walking in a labyrinth, it would make the miasma flow easier and the miasma would accumulate at locations where the flow is obstructed, like the dead-ends in the labyrinth.

To visualize it, imagine placing 200 marbles on a billiard table and gradually increase the number.

No matter how much you increase the number, the marbles probably won’t gather in a single spot but once they are moved, they will ultimately all fall into the six pockets. In other words, they gathered in six locations.

Miasma works in a similar fashion and once a certain amount gathers, it would apparently materialize into a monster.

If that’s the case, you would ask would monsters not be born in labyrinths if nobody enters, going back to the billiard example just now, if the marbles continue to increase, the end result would be a large number of marbles on top of the billiard table.

If that happens, the miasma would form gigantic monsters and frenzied monsters, leading to a major outbreak of monsters.

That is most likely the principle for the occurrence of the Fish Lizard outbreak and the Gigantic Fish Lizard in the Intermediate Labyrinth in Florence.

” … As expected, it was a good choice to not strike down those monkeys.”

Those monkey monsters have a good relationship with Sheena and they seem to be nice guys who just love hot springs.

『Sheena No.3 reporting. Monster spawning. It looks to be heading your way. It is a water and wind attribute monster so please defeat it with Wind Magic or Earth Magic.』

Oops, looks like a monster has spawned.

After waiting for a bit, a huge jellyfish came flying towards me through the air from a distance.

I wondered what was the name of that monster.

“「Stone」!”

I released Earth attribute Magic for now. The large rock that flew forth pierced the jellyfish and it was down with a single strike, falling onto the ground.

【Ichinojo Leveled up]

【Water Magician skill: 「Water Resistance (minor)」acquired]

【Earth Magician skill: 「Earth Resistance (minor)」acquired]

I was leveling up satisfactorily but nevertheless, the joy of leveling up is halved after all if there are no companions beside you to share it with.

I picked up a gelatine-like substance that the jellyfish dropped.

That was genuine gelatine so maybe I should use grape juice later to make grape jelly. I don’t know if this world has jelly (Suzuki, Malina, Daijiro-san and etc., countless Japanese people have reincarnated in this world so the possibility is high) but Carol would probably like it.

“Originally I would want to let Haru and Malina eat it too.”

Talking about that, I wonder if Sheena No.3 can eat? Pionia is definitely capable of eating though.

“Haru … are you doing well?”

Talking to nobody in particular, I muttered to the ceiling of the labyrinth.
