Chapter 1-18. Strategy Meeting

Together with me, Reizen was holding a strategy meeting while swimming in parallel.

If we go upstream as it is, we should see a place where a fish called Bedlock lives.

As long as we still don't know what kind of fish Bedlock is, we should prepare a large number of plans.

Now we are in the process of discussing how to move when we engage with each other by comparing the skills we can do.

"I'm going to close up to it, and Reizen shot it up from long distance."

"But first. I tried to see how powerful a [Rock Gun] is earlier , and I think why I'm not check it first, right? I was able to fire quite a lot. "

As what Reizen said, He gonna demonstrate his skills that he has acquired.

Even if you know how the thing works, you can't ignore the basic, in other word you should practice first when you acquire the skill.

So when He tried shooting a [Rock Gun] at the rock, the rock collapsed.

It may be natural that happen because the scales are sturdy and the skill of [Partial Strengthening (sharp)] is attached, but ... I did not think that the rock would collapse in three shots.

A rock gun seems to be something that peels off a few scales, deploys them around, and fires them.

Both power and rate of fire are perfect, but it seems that simultaneous firing is not possible, and it seems that you have to fire at one beat.

It seems that it can be expanded up to 20 and he tried to increase the number, but he couldn't do it because his MP would run out.

Since not long ago he just evolved, it is unavoidable that he doesn't have any more MP.

If this happens, it seems necessary to raise his level and increase his MP limit.

"Yeah, that's right. Then, when we engage with the enemy, let's leave the last hit to Reizen. "

"Please leave it to me! But don't expect too much, my accuracy is ... it's pretty difficult. "

"How many shots do you think you can fire right now?"

"Hmm ... with the current MP ... 10 shots may be the limit. I should leave some MP, right?"

"You're right. MP should never run out."

Out of MP is really bad. It's a dangerous thing that you shouldn't experience.

When it runs out, you will be floating for a few hours until it replenished.

This information I taught firmly to Reizen.

I don't want him to experience a similar situation.

"So ... what do we do after checking our target?"

"The movement will be either [keep firing frome distance], [engage a close quarter combat], or [Run away]. If Reizen's [Rock Gun] is effective, I would like you to shoot 10 times in a row. If the attack doesn't seem to work, I'll engage CQC with it. If that doesn't seem to be possible, we should run away and replenish our stamina. "

"Should I be a decoy when you escape from it?"

"Why you would be a decoy? It seems that Bedlock can't move from the spot, so you don't have to stay there, right? I want to escape to the upstream if possible, but ... is it difficult to do? Which way to escape do you think it depend on where the Bedlock is? "

It's best to be flexible to this kind of thing.

At the end, it will be a big deal because I will be directly faced with the problem how to escape from the place that I wouldn't expect if it happened.

"I think you can do it since big bro have [Herculean Jaw]."

"... Certainly. I came up with a ridiculous way to kill since I came here. Thank you, but should I bring it to my graveyard?"

"-You are going to stay alive!"

"You're right ~"

The strategy meeting has come to an end.

It's not a strategy that can be called a decent strategy, but we can move quickly on the battlefield just by deciding what to do.

If we get confused in the middle of battlefield, it will be a fatal mistake, so I want to avoid it.

I don't think he will use his head so much this time, so I'm sure he will remember it.

(F-n: D-did he just diss Reizen again? #cancelourenbigbro)

It should be easy for him to move because he use a long-range attack and the enemy is in one spot.

It's been a while since we evolved, but it is hard to see where the Bedlock is.

I don't know where we are in the first place, so I'm completely a pure guess.

I think it's like something is being buried in the ground and it doesn't move, but ... I'm confident that if where I dig is a wrong spot, I'll go through and keep searching where it is.

(F-n: If you are on the island and lost, just go straight until you reach the beach, stay at the beach or walking just on the coast side of the island to search for help, fire and water is the first priority.) 

The voice of heaven and the voice of the earth do not give a depiction of living things.

It's such a creature that can teach me some information.

But it's a really annoying personal dictionary.

Is it possible to find the problematic Bedlock in this situation?

Fortunately, I appreciated the fact that 'It' is not in this area because there are no fish.

Oh yeah. If there is a fish, is there a high possibility that there is a Bedlock around it?

Then, it doesn't seem to matter if I go upstream until the fish come out.

Anyway, this river is insanely long! What's going on!

I feel like I've been up for about a day, but ... the width of the river doesn't narrow at all.

The bottom of the river remains deep ... I wonder how deep it is?

"Ouren-big bro. What are Big bro want to do when you goes ashore?"

Suddenly, Reizen called me.

"Me? That's right ... I heard that there are humans for the time being, so I'd like to interact with them. But it doesn't make sense if I don't have a way to disguise me as a human, but maybe something will happen later?"

"Is there anything else?"

He is a bit pushy somehow. It looks like he is expecting something, but ... I don't know what he expected from me.

"Eeerrr, the other reason is ... Well I want to be a dragon. ……ah"

I notices that I made a mistake and close my mouth.

(F-n: I still thought they communicate using telepathy, maybe just hypothetically close his mouth)

I completely forgot that the final evolution path of Reizen was a turtle.

I was supposed to answer when Reizen asked, but What I said was ...

When I looked at Reizen, He got closer and closer.

"Can Ouren-big bro become a dragon!?"

………… That's, not the reaction I expected.

"Err, yeah. The voice of heaven taught me that my final evolution path is a dragon. "

"Eeeeeh! Isn't that really cool! I'm a turtle, a turtle! What kind of difference is this! I was told that I could become a turtle as soon as I came, even though I didn't reincarnate because I liked it! Do you understand? it is a turtle! Why turtle in the first place, that's not even cool right? There is more! Why not birds or other animals!? After hearing that, I wasn't motivated to do anything anymore, and I've been feeling lonely for a long time ...uuuuuu....."

Ah carp, this is bad. If I don't follow-up and calm him down, he will start crying again.

That said, what should I do ... He is going to be heartbroken if I gave him half-hearted follow-up, and He'll definitely cry more if I stay silent.

Uhhh ... That's it!

"Reizen ma boi. Just think about it. What do you think if an enemy with an penetrable defense appears in front of you?"

“………… I'm going to hate them”

"In addition to that, what if you find out that the attack with the highest firepower you have does not work?

“………… It would break my heart”

"Isn't it? A guy with an unpenetrable defense can become a fortress just by standing in front of him. "

"Fortress ... ooh ..."

Alright, one more push.

"Then imagine if you can become human. You're a one man army, right? The guy who can rush to protect his friend in a pinch by himself ... Isn't it cool?"

"I- it's really cool!!!"

Thanks goodness ... it seems that he was somehow interested. If it doesn't work , that's quite a problem.

But for me, I'm very envious of his high level of defense.

High defensive power can be a threat by itself, so it would be encouraging to have such a person in the group.

But was there anything other than a turtle in his final evolution path ... that's the only question.

"Well? It may be too early, but its fine. What kind of nickname will be given if you can become a human?"

"Oooh! Oooooh! Thats a good idea! As expected, Ouren-big bro! Me! I will make a better idea than before!"

"That's right. If we can meet the other people let's try  to avoid the bad guys as much as possible, we'll end up with a lot of problems. Well, when we go outside like this, it's like traveling together. I'm kind of worried if If I leave you alone."

"Anytime, anywhere! I'll stay by Big-bro side!"

'I would be happy' if I could say that. But ... It can be difficult to travel together.

I because I knew I would go out to the ashore faster than him. Well, this guy could do it alone ...

After all, just from his defensive power. I don't even want to bite him, but I don't think other guys can bite and break through his defense.

Well, when that time comes, He should be able to stand alone.

………… Why am I thinking of seeing my child off …….

Let's finish this problem quickly and earn experience points. for now.
