After about fifteen minutes, we encountered another group of running slugs.

Again, how many herds do you have to wipe out to get through the meadow?"

Are you sure about your magic?"

I think I'll be fine since I have the universal recovery potion in the immutable bottle." I still need a ride. ......

　I kept fighting and exterminated the running slug herds one after another. When I annihilate all four herds, my magic level goes up and I reach magic level 20.

'Okay, we've conquered Slug Meadow.

There is a way home."

　Metis's words make me feel fed up. I look around and see a forest of coiled peach trees. Me and Elmore head toward the forest.

There is a needle chameleon in that forest, so I will collect the coiled peaches."

　I nodded at the suggestion. Elmore would be immune to poison. Elmore approached the coiled peach tree and tried to pluck a ripe peach.

　At that moment, a needle chameleon lurking in a coiled peach tree sent its poisonous needle flying. Elmore noticed it and knocked the poisonous needle off with his hand.

　He had his sorcery eye in fast combat mode, apparently. Elmore took out his Kikuchi spear and stabbed the needle chameleon in the head.

　As the needle chameleon disappears, leaving behind the magic stone, Elmore reaches out and plucks a red, ripe, delicious-looking coiled peach. At that moment, the delicious-looking coiled peach turns black and decays.

Why is that?"

　I remember the story about the coiled peach fruit that starts to rot when it falls to the ground. Shadow puppets are made of shadow clay. Shadow clay is a kind of soil. That may have something to do with it.

　I looked at Elmore's face. There was no emotion in it. A human would have been shocked, but the spirit of a shadow puppet is a strange thing.

　I had thought that if demons had minds, they would have copied them, but looking at Tamegoro and Taabo, it seems that this is not the case.

　Elmore is controlled by Métis, so he is not a reference, but I could write a number of papers just studying the shadow puppet's mind.

Maybe people need to take it in their own hands."

'We have no choice. I will leave the coiled peach to you. I will prevent Needle Chameleon from attacking.'

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

　I activated my "auto shield" and then picked up the coiled peach. The coiled peach in my hand looks delicious and remains unchanged. Do I still need to pick them off with my human hands?

　I looked for ripe coiled peaches and found ripe coiled peaches a little higher up on a neighboring tree. I asked Elmore to stand on a step and tried to pick the coiled peach fruit.

　At that time, the Needle Chameleon, which I missed, moved and sent a poisonous needle flying at me, but my auto-defending D-particle shield bounced back. The armor I am equipped with is "Dodge Armor", but this armor is only sturdy if it is not supplied with magic power, so I used the "Auto Shield".

　I shot the needle chameleon with a triple pile shot.

Are you hurt?

"It's okay. The poison needle bounced off the D-particle shield."

　The first step is to collect coiled peaches. There were surprisingly few ripe peaches, probably because Ishibashi and Goto's team collected them. I finished with 12 coiled peaches.

　I tried one of them. The sweet aroma that wafted through my nose, the texture when I bit into it, and the sweetness that spread in my mouth were amazing. I ate the first coiled peach I had ever had in my life, and I unconsciously took out another one to eat.

'I thought you were only going to eat one?'

　When Métis told me, I huffed.

I was so close. I seriously almost ate the whole thing."

　At that moment, the coiled peach began to take effect. My body began to heat up and my skin turned red. I am young, so the changes in my body are not so great, but it is said that when old people eat coiled peach, their arteriosclerotic blood vessels return to normal and their skin becomes taut, as if they are young again.

　The effect of the coiled peach is only on the blood vessels, so the muscles and bones remain as they were, but there are still many who seek the coiled peach.

What do you want to do today?"

We're going to break through the slug meadow and it will be past midnight. Let's spend the night here."

　I got out my camping gear and giant tortoise shell and prepared to encamp, then brought my shadow puppets out of the shadows.

　We prepare a bonfire because it gets dark in Narukami dungeon as well as outside. For dinner, we decided to make Neapolitan. It is a simple dish of boiled dried pasta, cut into bite-size pieces, stir-fried with vegetables and sausage, and seasoned with ketchup and other seasonings.

　I started talking to Metis while I ate my Neapolitan.

I think Elmore needs some shock-absorbent clothing, too."

I appreciate that, but don't you also need to consider Dr. Grimm's defense?

'Yeah, this armor is hard to use. Maybe I should make new armor."

　I am equipped with "Dodge Armor," but it doesn't work unless I pour magic power into it, so I'm vulnerable to a surprise attack.

　I'm wearing a shock-absorbing suit, so physical attacks are prevented by the shock-absorbing suit. Incidentally, the shock-absorbing suit is version III.

　The improvement of 　Version III is that it incorporates a magical battery that absorbs shock with the flick of a switch. It would be nice if we could improve the "Dodge Armor," but it was not possible to incorporate a magical battery.

　Since I am okay with the shock absorption aspect, the function I want from the armor is protection against magical attacks. We want armor that can protect against hot flames and super cold air.

I'll think about the armor later, but I'm trying to think of what advice I can give to Tesshin-san and Dr. Karina now that they are members of Battalion, what do you think?"

'By advice, do you mean teaching something?'

I think it's a bad idea to join Battaglion and not make much progress. I think it's bad enough that you're in a batallion and you haven't made much progress."

I think it would be nice to have a life magic or technique that only members can use."

Magic for Battalion members only?"

It seems that there are actually batallions out there that have that kind of magic."

　In some of the larger batallions, magic obtained in dungeons is not registered with the Magic Agency, but is reserved exclusively for batallions.

When you say technology, what do you mean?"

　I was not confident in teaching the training methods described in the book "Interference Training Methods" because I do not fully understand some of them myself.

'How about systematizing and teaching training to develop the ability to sense D-particles? Apart from Alisa and her colleagues, I don't think they train D-particle sensors very much.'

　The "super-speed vision" I use in high-speed combat is the ability to integrate information from the D-particle sensor and information from vision into a visual image. Therefore, it is important to train the D-particle sensor.

I have the 'Vikrama ring,' but everyone else doesn't."

I think we should be able to store the "top speed" of the magical magic in the magic-absorbing alloy and copy it to the golem core with the "trace" of the analytical magic."

　The reason why the magic circuit imprinting device is not used to make a permanent magic circuit core C is because the existence of the magic circuit imprinting device is kept secret.
