What do you think of a stall like this
for the Founding Celebration?
I think it'll be better
if there's more space
to exhibit the products.
Let's erase this part then.
Yes, please.
That's pretty nice.
I want to make more decorations
because it's a celebration.
The preparations for the Founding
Celebration are going very well.
Yes, everyone is being very proactive.
I'll leave everything up to them.
The Semroid Troupe has
started rehearsing as well.
Are they using magic
to make the swords shine?
What an interesting performance.
Ryoma.
Are you on your way home?
Good evening, Mr. Worgan.
Can I talk to you?
Yes.
Thanks for taking on
the Tunnel Ants' mission.
At first, I thought you wanted
to focus on your shop.
But I heard you wanted to
raise your Adventurer Level as well.
Yes.
I'm progressing quite slowly,
but I do want to level up.
As a leader,
you surely have your responsibilities,
and it's impossible to fully
focus on being an Adventurer.
Well, let me get to the point.
Can you take a few days off
starting tomorrow?
Yes.
Great.
Then, I'd like you to
take on another mission.
It's a collecting job,
but the amount is pretty large.
So we need someone who knows Space Magic.
By the way, you'll be able to fight
some monsters you've been wanting to face.
Really?
Yeah.
We need you to collect
some materials from Treants.
Treants.
It'll be a good practice before
I leave for the Sea of Trees of Syrus.
I'll do it.
Those are the details of this mission.
Great.
The people Mr. Worgan hired for the job
are all very reliable.
I did understand that
you need materials from Treants.
But hunting three hundred of them
seems like a considerable amount.
Why do you need so many Treants?
To put it simply,
I want to revive the town.
Revive the town?
As you know,
Gimul became prosperous
because of its mines.
But what will happen
when the mines are empty?
The jobs will be gone
and so will the people.
To prevent that from happening,
we decided to build a tourist attraction.
We're planning to build
a new town for tourists
outside the south gate of this town.
And then an arena
in the center of that town.
An arena? That sounds fun.
And hotels for
the competitors and tourists,
restaurants, and casinos, right?
Sounds like a great business opportunity.
But why do you need Treants for that?
Can't you just use plain wood?
A famous architect
is in charge of designing the arena.
And he's known to be a weird one.
He's the one who wants to use Treants
for the key parts of the arena.
I see. A weird one indeed.
Treants can be used for architecture.
But usually it's used as a material
for magic wands.
I know it's a strange mission,
but it pays well.
Asagi will be the leader.
Yes.
I asked Ryoma to come help
as a space magician.
But he wants to gain experience
fighting Treants.
I'll do my best.
Since it's Ryomeow's wish,
we'd love to help.
Yeah, of course.
Okay.
Be ready by tomorrow morning
to go get Treants.
This is my first time
fighting with companions
since I defeated the goblin
in the abandoned mines.
It's been a long time.
I can't wait to work with them.
We'll arrive near the forest before dark.
We'll camp there tonight
and hunt the monsters tomorrow morning.
Well then,
there are some important facts
you need to know.
Okay.
Treants swing their twigs to attack.
You need to beware of attacks from above.
Their weaknesses are the burls
on the trunk that looks like human faces.
Attack the burls or cut the part
below the burls to defeat them.
Burls that look like human faces?
Is that how we differentiate
Treants from normal trees?
If that's the case, we won't be able
to tell if the burl is on the back side.
Treants are monsters, and hence,
they have magic power.
Sense their magic power
to tell them apart from normal trees.
Seems easy enough.
I shouldn't forget
to sense their magic power.
Okay, it's done.
Ryomeow, what's that?
This is
A chair.
That's awesome!
And a table.
What?
This table and these chairs
are impressive!
They're perfect for traveling.
When I was living alone,
I made these
to make my trips more convenient.
You're a genius!
I just recreated camping equipment
from Earth.
I'm glad they like it.
In the forest,
Miya and I will be fighting the Treants.
Leipin and Ryoma will be responsible
for moving the hunted Treants.
On top of that, Leipin will be responsible
for finding the Treants and keeping watch.
Ryoma will protect him.
Is that okay?
When Ryoma gets used to this,
he can join the hunt as well.
Thank you, everyone.
You don't have to push
yourself so hard, Ryoma.
On the way here,
you looked very uptight in the carriage.
We are here with you.
We want you to relax and gain experience.
Thank you.
Don't worry about it.
You will get used to it in no time.
You will learn to recognize
the characteristics
of the Treants' magic power in a blink.
If anything goes wrong, we'll protect you.
We'll have your back.
I'll be doing the healing.
Thank you so much, everyone.
I'm so grateful that I have experienced
people helping me grow as an Adventurer.
It's a different kind of enjoyment
than running the shop with the employees.
Are you ready?
Let's go, then.
There's one already.
Miya, about 10 meters ahead of us,
there's a thicker tree, do you see it?
That one?
Yes.
I do sense magic power from that tree.
But it doesn't look much
different from the others.
There it is!
Done.
Please, everyone.
Medium Space Magic.
It's easy as long as
you dodge their twigs.
There are three in front of us.
Got it.
I'll take the one in the middle.
You take care of the other two.
Wind blade!
There's one over there too.
It's the only one in the vicinity.
Do you want to hunt it, Ryoma?
Yes.
I can handle it
when there's only one Treant.
Good job, Ryomeow.
It's weird, though.
Treants like to stay in the dark,
deep in the forest.
It's unusual that they're
in a place like this.
Nonetheless, we've got a few already.
Let's go back to our camp site,
have lunch, and rest a bit.
Mr. Leipin is right.
Something's off with this forest.
You did very well with the Treant, Ryoma.
After lunch, you can deal with
the Treants we failed to kill.
Okay.
But don't push yourself too hard.
And always make sure
you and Leipin are safe.
Got it.
You're a good boy.
Mr. Ryoma, that weapon is a Slime, right?
Yes.
The sheath is Metal Slime.
And the sword is Iron Slime.
So, that's how you resolved the problem
of finding an affordable sword.
You come up with endless
possibilities of using Slimes.
What is that?
It's a Slime.
A Slime? That thing?
It's called a Fluff Slime.
It has the ability to fly.
Fluff Slime
I've never heard of it.
Mr. Leipin, can you catch it?
Of course.
Capture.
What was that?
It's a form of Space Magic that can
transport an object into one's hand.
It can only be used
within a visible range.
And it's hard to aim,
so very few people can use it.
But it lets you capture objects
without damaging it.
I see.
Sign a contract with it, Ryoma.
You are better with Slimes than me.
Thank you.
It's done.
Monster Appraisal.
Its skills are flight and lightening.
Split Level 8.
Lightening
It's as if it has no weight at all.
It still has weight but it's so light
that you can hardly feel it.
That's what allows it to fly.
When we're done with our mission,
I'll think of something
I can do with this Slime.
He always seems so happy
when he's talking about Slimes.
It's the only time he looks his age.
Isn't it time to go hunt the monsters?
Something's off
You feel it too, Ryoma?
Yeah.
Those trees over there
were normal trees in the morning.
But now, more than half of
them are Treants.
Is that really possible?
The speed of monsterization
is way too fast.
From my experience,
I'd say there's a dangerous
high-level monster nearby.
But we can't go back like this.
Let's continue the hunt
but with more caution.
Even if we can't solve the problem,
we need to know what's behind this.
Treants alone are not that dangerous.
If we're careful, we'll be fine.
Let's get to work, then.
-Wind blade!
-Wind blade!
-They won't beat us but
-There are just too many of them.
Heal.
Thank you.
Sorry, Ryoma.
We don't have enough people.
Stay in the front line with us.
Back us up, Leipin!
Got it!
We beat all the Treants in this area.
But there are more ahead of us.
Pretty much all the trees are Treants.
Let's hunt as many as we can.
Be careful, everyone.
There's no shame in retreating.
We know.
Without life, there's nothing.
We'll all get exhausted
if this goes on.
What are you doing, Ryoma?
I'm going to speed it up a little.
Remove contraction, remove integration.
I've been thinking of
this method for a while.
If these were regular throwing weapons,
I'd eventually run out.
But if I use Slimes,
I don't have to go get them.
That's great, Ryomeow.
Let's leave it to him.
We'll watch his back.
I knew it.
No, it's even stronger than I imagined.
It has unbelievably strong magic power.
Elder Treant.
I've seen them a few times.
But this is the strongest one
I've ever seen.
If we let it live,
it might turn all the trees in
this forest into Treants.
Even if we can't defeat it,
we have to bring back
some useful information.
Leipin, Ryoma.
How are your magic powers?
I am good.
So am I. I barely used my magic.
Right.
I didn't expect you
to use Slimes as throwing axes.
Let's go hunt the Elder Treant.
The Metal Slimes are afraid.
You made the right decision.
We shouldn't send
scared monsters to fight.
Yes. But I wonder why they're scared.
Don't panic.
Treants can walk but they are very slow.
Those are the Elder Treant's roots.
Paving.
This will stall it for a while.
Ryoma and Leipin, stay here and cover us.
Cilia, you protect them.
And the rest go fight the Elder Treant.
-Wind blade!
-Wind blade!
-What happened?
-Oh no!
That's Dark Magic.
I didn't think there were Elder Treants
that can corrode metal.
If our weapons corrode, they're useless.
That's why the Metal Slimes were scared.
If that's the case
Remove contraction.
Remove integration.
I knew it.
Pure iron doesn't corrode.
Guys.
Can you stall it for five seconds?
Thanks.
Everybody, cover Ryoma.
Good. I'm within shot range.
Ryoma, finish it!
The biggest contributors to this mission
are you and your Slimes.
Go get it.
Okay.
We did it!
You not only got to hunt Treants
but also an Elder Treant.
Yes, thanks to you
I gained valuable experience.
And you even let me finish it.
That's because I thought
we could rely on you.
That's why I let you do it.
You relied on me?
I think everyone agrees on that.
I'm so lucky to have met
experienced Adventurers.
I'm happy that the people I trust
also trust me.
The wild plant tempura is done.
I never thought wild plants
could taste so good!
We've beaten so many Treants.
That should be enough for the mission.
But who would've thought
there was a magic stone
of an underground merchant
buried under the Elder Treant.
Don't make me think
of that while I'm eating.
Sorry.
But it was that magic stone that gave
the Elder Treant so much magic power.
That's an important discovery.
I can't believe you made miso soup.
This is the taste of my hometown.
I bought the soy sauce and miso in Lenaf.
Lenaf?
That's good news. Thank you so much.
It's my first time seeing someone
eating and crying at the same time.
How can I not cry when
I get to taste this?
I'm so lucky.
I met Mr. Pioro who gave me miso,
and that miso
is making Mr. Asagi so happy.
It's interesting how fate works.
I hope I'll find fate
at the Founding Celebration too.
