Interlude: The Flower Picking Quest Part 2
We were caught off guard by the fact that it was a simple job (quest) of collecting flowers.
「Kyaaaa!」
When I turned around to see what was wrong with Isabelle's scream, I saw that she was grabbed by the flowers.
「Hmm? What is this?」
「Ahahaha, what are you doing, Isabelle?」
「It's no laughing matter. This flower is moving!」
「「Huh? 」」
I look at the flower again. The nondescript blue flower is ---- Zsa Zsa Zsa!
「Ah! It moved!」
「Ahahaha, this is weird~!」
「Kkuhh, I can't get my feet on the ground. Somebody hurry up!」
「Okay, okay. Hyaaah!」
I tried to help Isabelle, but she was tripped up by the flowers. The flowers all started moving at once, undulating like blue waves.
「Interesting~!」
Ai, who has no sense of danger, is playing on the flowers by herself. What a mess.
『Serina-san, please take a look at this. It's bad, right?』
Heruko appraised it and showed it to me.
〈Name〉 Blue Macrocellus 〈Level〉 21
〈HP〉263/263 〈Status〉Normal
〈Description〉
A blue carnivorous plant.
Non-aggressive.
It is usually motionless, waiting for its prey to approach before attacking.
I don't even need to use the [Enemy Counter].
「Everyone, this is a monster! Its level is 21!」
「「Huh?!」」
I was fooled by its appearance, but I didn't realize it was a man-eating plant.
I hurriedly drew my sword and slashed at the flowers.
But there were so many of them. These monsters were blooming all over the place. I was horrified.
How many of these are there in total?
「There are too many of them! Rather than slashing at them blindly, let's set an exit and make a single point breakthrough in that direction!」
Isabelle has a good point.
「I agree! Okay!」
Ai and I cooperate, and the three of us try to go in one direction.
「Ugh, it's so sticky!」
Ai says, but it's an insectivorous plant, so it must be digestive fluids or something.
But unlike strong acids, it doesn't smoke when it gets on your skin, so it's not immediately dangerous. However, it's still disgusting.
I didn't want to waste time wiping it off, so I ignored the digestive juices dripping down my face and swung my longsword.
「Kkuhh, it's hard to cut!」
Perhaps it's because there are so many of them, but the sharpness of the sword dulls in the middle, and the resistance increases.
The sword was heavy.
About halfway through the horrible flower garden, our arms finally got tired and our attacks slowed down.
「I-I can't do this. If we continue like this, ......」
「Kkugg, I guess my Starlight Attack is no good. ......」
It's my trump card skill, but if there are too many of them, my TP will run out first, and then I'll get fatigued.
「My arms are heavy~!」
All three of us were in a hurry.
Then, the flower changed its attack method.
It groped at us.
「Hyaah, W-What's that?」
「Kyaaa, where are you touching!?」
「Aahn, oohh, they're pretty good at that, aren't they? Ahaha」
It's no laughing matter!
「He―, Aahnn, I'm not strong enough――Nnhhh!」
『Serina-san, what are you feeling so sensitive about every single thing? It's a matter of life and death, you know. There's no limit to how perverted you are.』
「Shut up, I know, I know, but! Kkuhh, aahnnn♪」
I resent this overly sensitive body. That bespectacled goddess. ......!
Blue Macrosseras is dexterously trying to unbuckle my belt and take off my clothes and armor!
T-this is not good ......!
Just then, a woman's voice came from the forest.
「Hou~, you guys are having a lot of fun, aren't you?」
I call out the name of the silver-haired knight as if it were a heaven-sent help.
「Sylvie!」
She belongs to a knightly order and is good enough to walk around solo. Ione had also taken a shine to her swordsmanship, and she was someone who could defeat Mount Ape without ever being mounted ―― thank God. She's a reliable elf.
「You look like you're feeling good. Phew, I can't resist. Let me join you too.」
Correction, she was a stupid elf.
「Don't! This is a monster and we're desperately trying to escape, Aahnn♪」
「Well, don't be in such a hurry. A little goes a long way. I'll help you after I've had a taste of it」
So help me first! If you want to taste it, just do it yourself!
「H-Hurry up and help me, please, Aahnn!」
「Aahhh, I'm starting to feel good. I don't think I care anymore, Nnhh, that's good!」
「Oooh, this is quite .........Nnhh」
「Geeezz, You're such an idioooooot! Eeii! [Starlight Attack!] [Starlight attack!] [Starlight Attack!]」
――ten minutes later.
Sylvie got serious and hunted the flowers, and we managed to escape the dangerous flower garden.
「That's boring. Pink slime is much better than that.」
Erofu casually expresses her feeling like that.
「Uuuhhh, my innocence at the hands of such a monster........Uuhh, Ugh, I can't get married!」
Isabelle is lamenting in a lovely way, but it seems that she has been treated very badly. Poor thing.
「Ahahaha, it was quite thrilling and fun.」
What about it?
「I'm going home.」
The blue flower I cut off is still there as a drop, but the client must be a horrible person to try to collect such a thing.
Leaving the rest to Isabelle, I decided to return to the city.
