After passing through my house once, we finally arrived at our destination.
It was a forest far from human habitationā¦ā¦ no, I guess it was more like a copse? Although the footing around the area was a little bad, the trees werenāt so dense, and the visibility was good.
There, under the guidance of Hapti-san, Aoi-chan and Hina-chan would actually experience being an adventurer.
[Then, with my earlier words in mind, letās have you two actually fight monstersā¦ā¦ You donāt have to look so nervous, you know? Since both of you can use magic, you should be able to use a magical force field, right? Thereās no monster around here that can penetrate a magical force field.]
The magical force field was the most basic magic when one was learning how to use magic, and even I learned how to use it from Kuro when I first became able to use magic.
Well, the magical force field isnāt really considered a magic, as itās more of an application of magic manipulation. It was a technique where the user maintains magic power around the body in an as dense a state as possible, strengthening the userās defenses.
It was not very strong, but it didnāt require any magic formulas, so with some practice, it could be active all the time. If there are no monsters in the vicinity that can destroy the userās force field, then thereās no need to worry about Aoi-chan and Hina-chan getting hurt.
Then, Hapti-san started to search for monsters with her Wide-Area Detection Magic and the actual battle began. I was just an observer here, so I was watching the battle with Hapti-san.
The two of them were nervous at first facing the monsterā¦ā¦ but just as Alice had said, the monster wasnāt that strong, and the monster they are currently facing was just a slightly larger dog in appearance and strength.
No, of course, wild dogs were scary enough for the average person, but when it came to people who can use magic, it didnāt seem to be a problem at all.
Even if I had fought it, I could have won without any problem, so Iād say that it was a piece of cake for the two of them with their power levels. In fact, the two of them were a little stiff at first, but they soon got used to it and began to perform well in battle.
Hina-chanās physical prowess was quite impressive, but it seemed like Aoi-chan was struggling a bit because she had to shoot her magic while making sure not to hit Hina-chan.
Itās just well, theyāre both amazing, but I can somehow follow them with my eyesā¦ā¦ and how should I say thisā¦ā¦ On the contrary, this feels refreshing.
[Unnn, as I thought, you two are already on a high level. Thatās greatā¦ā¦ but if I were to give you some advice, Iād say that Hina is fine for todayās location, but you should practice for situations where there are more trees, bad footing, or limited movement. As for Aoi, your magic inevitably takes a little longer to activate, so you might want to carry a weapon that would allow you to immediately counterattackā¦ā¦ for example, a few throwing knives.]
After a few battles, Hapti-san gave Aoi-chan and Hina-chan some light advice.
[Also, youād better make sure youāre well-equipped. Hina, it looks like you could use some footgear. As for Aoi, you might want to use a staff with magic aiding effects. Depending on the situation, you could also use it as a blunt weapon.]
As we talked, Hapti-san gave tips for when you were taking breaksā¦ā¦ How to keep a watchful eye on the surroundings and the topographical features that would be useful for their activities as Adventurers, to which Aoi-chan and Hina-chan eagerly took notes.
Thereupon, after talking for a while, Hapti-san turned towards me and spoke.
[Thatās right, since weāre at it, how about you fight too, Kaito?]
[Eh? Me? No, in the first place, I donāt have any means of attackā¦ā¦]
Iām not very good at Offensive Magic, and I donāt have any magic that could be used offensively. My Autopilot is more of a defensive magic, and just as how my two kouhais call me a Monster Tamer, I have almost no fighting ability of my own.
Thatās something that Hapti-sanā¦ā¦ a clone of Alice shouldnāt know about. And yet, why did she suggest that?
As I was thinking about this, Alice suddenly appeared in front of us. Standing upright with her arms folded in front of her, and on her shoulder was a sash with the words āPet #3ā written on it.
Arehh? No matter how I look at it, this developmentā¦ā¦ As I doubtfully looked at her, Alice quietly handed me a piece of paperā¦ā¦ that had the name of an attack and its price, the same paper she had given me before.
{ Alice-chan Sword Sold Out }
{ Alice-chan Punch One Silver Coin }
{ Alice-chan Kick One Gold Coin }
{ 5-Unit Combination: Great Alice-chan Robo One White Gold Coin }
Thereās no change except that the Alice-chan Sword I bought before is now sold outā¦ā¦ No, it seems like thereās something that was added at the bottom. Errrā¦ā¦
{ Take them down! Giant Kaiju Faeton. A new power has been awoken! Neo Great Alice-chan Robo Two White Gold Coin }
Some kind of successor transfer event had been added!? D*mn it, now Iām really curious.
But to see this, it seems like I would have to use the regular Alice-chan Robo first. If thatās the case, the one Iāll choose this time isā¦ā¦ This kinda feels like Iām squandering money, but Iām just really curious.
After some hesitation, I took out a white gold coin and handed it to Alice.
Thereupon, at that moment, as if she had noticed something, Hapti-san turned her gaze.
[Iām getting a response from my Wide-Area Detectionā¦ā¦ That should be a wyvern, I think? It being alone means that it strayed away from its flockā¦ā¦ How unusual.]
ā¦ā¦It seems that the monster that will be sacrificed to the Great Alice-chan Robo has been decided.
