334 - - 332 times ver.4

When I stepped into the 98th layer, the bird demons of the 96th and 97th layers were replaced by dragons.4 The same pattern was seen in the 8th and 49th layers, so I guess it's not impossible, but it seems unfair. Green dragons and poison dragons. Is it my imagination that the labyrinth is trying to kill us?

Then I'll take nature's armor, please.

"Okay. I'll make you a great one.

Maybe it's because she's dealing with a dragon, or maybe it's because it's been a long time since she's seen nature's armor, but Belle clenches her tiny hands and gets into the spirit of the moment. It's very cute, but I'm afraid that I'm going to feel a bit more like a kitchen rat if I get fired up by a natural armor.

"Well, you know, Belle, it's going to be fine as usual."

"Can't you put your hands in my pockets?"

"Yes!　I'm a power-apple in a QUANTITATIVE environment!"

Why? Bell tilts her head, and Flair listens and agrees with her. I have a bad feeling about this.

"Yes, it is. We have a strong enemy this time. We'll need stronger natural armor than before. Yuta has improved and become stronger, so he can wear even stronger nature armor than before. Please consult with each other and make a cool nature armor. It will save Yuta's life.

No way. ...... No, a betrayal that is somehow possible. Sylphy's expression hasn't changed much, but I'm sure she's laughing hysterically on the inside.

"Hey, hey, ........."

I tried to change the course of the conversation, but the devil (Sylphy) tempted me, and Belle and the others were talking happily with their heads together, hmmmmm, cue cue. Haha, I can't stop them now.

"Sylphie?"

"Oh?　I didn't say anything wrong. I'm getting better, I have more magic power to spare, and I'm getting stronger. It's only natural that we should focus on our own safety when we are facing countless dragons, isn't it?

"That's true, but ...... if it comes down to it, it's just a matter of getting Sylphy to put up a wind wall, right?"

With Sylphy's wind wall, even a dragon should be a piece of cake.

"Hmmm, you're going to use as little help from me as possible, aren't you?"

"Right..."

It seems there's nothing to be said. Sylphy is not wrong, but the fact that he is paying attention to the discussion between Bell and the others, I have no doubt that his goal is to get a natural armor that will make him feel more comfortable in the kitchen. What's going to happen?

"Yoo-tah!" "Coo!"

While I was talking with Sylphy, Belle and Tamamo came flying in.

"Belle, Tamamo, what's wrong?"

Belle and Tamamo. Usually Belle is with Rain and Tamamo is with Tulu, so this is a subtle and unusual combination. We often see them all together in a dumpling, but this is something new.

"You know, Tamamo wants a big headband..." "Coo-coo!"

Belle and Tamamo are spreading their arms out to show off their size. So cute. I see, Belle came with Tamamo as his interpreter. I guess Tulu is just helping her out while she's thinking about something.

"There are leaves, but are they that big?"

I'd like to respond to your request as best I can, but I don't know because I didn't pay that much attention to the ...... leaves. Checking the list in the magic bag, I take out some branches and plants with leaves.

"Coo-coo!" "I want that!"

"I don't plan to use it, so I don't mind, but what do you want to use it for?"

Koo koo... - No way!

Oops, he didn't tell me. But it's okay, because Belle and Tamamo looked at each other and smiled happily, which was cute. ...... I'm worried that I don't know what they're going to use it for. Belle and Tamamo return with a rather large leaf and some small leaves they have taken out.

"Hmmm, I wonder what kind of nature armor we will end up with?　I'm looking forward to it."

You no longer hide your amusement. I, for one, welcome the Belles' efforts, as they are adorable. ...... Hopefully, no new black history will be made. If it continues to develop like this, it's going to be great, and we'll inevitably have to use our natural armor in public. ...... Oh, don't even think about it. If I think about it, I get a flag .......

"......Sylphy, it's going to take a while yet, would you like some tea?"

"Well, could I have a cup of tea?"

Sylphy is a tea drinker. I had coffee at breakfast, so I'll have tea too. I take out a small rock as a table and set out the tea. I don't want to have tea cakes because they might disturb ...... Belle and the others.

Huge islands in the sky, green dragons and wyverns flying around. The scenery is full of fantasy, but I doubt if it goes well with tea.

**

"kansei", "kewoo", "good job", "koo-koo", "fantastic!" ............"

After an hour or so, the natural armor is finally completed to the satisfaction of Bell and the others. Sometimes they fly over to me and stare at something, but I don't know what happened to them.

Well, ...... there is no escape when they stare at me with such excited eyes. I'm ready to accept the armor of nature.

"Well then, I'll take the armor of nature, please."

The belles nodded as if to say, "I'll take care of it," and started circling me with their tiny hands out in front of them. They always do this.

"The one-armed mast."

"A great wind manmoth!"

"Koo koo koo koo (big green helmet)"

"A hot day's yayabat and mane."

"............ (lots of healing power)"

"""""" natural armor (cu-cu-cu) (cu-cu-cu) (......) """"""

...... added a few words to the previous chants. I understand "hard," "great," and "hot," but have the Raines changed theirs, too, whose words I don't understand?

As I was wondering, the water filled with Rain's magic power enveloped me and Moon's power poured into it. Then, a hardened and shiny rock is attached to me. The area of protection seems to be expanding. I guess they thought that since my power had increased with the level-up, it would be okay to increase the weight.

Once the rock armor is attached, a cloak of wind wraps around me .......　The wind cloak, which was supposed to be a faint light, turned into a neon-like wind cloak that emitted a strong, swirling light.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, a disk of fire is born on the left arm and a larger fire blade is born on the right arm. The left arm has been changed to a fire shield. The density of this fire blade and shield has also been increased, and their luster has become stronger.

"What?"

I thought my eyes were blocked for a moment, but then something was attached not only to my head but also to my face. What does this mean?

............"

The excited belles circle around me, heaping praise on me. I hear that this new nature armor ver.4 is tickling their children's hearts. Come to think of it, the scene where I put it on looks like a special effects hero.

The kids love it, but what about the adults?　When I look at Shilfi, I see her crouching down with her stomach pressed down. She is convulsing, probably trying not to laugh. It's admirable that she holds back so as not to make Belle and the others sad, but it's not very dignified of the Great Spirit of the Wind.

"Well, Sylphie, what do you think?"

He speaks to Sylphy, but his voice is hushed. It's the leaves on his face. It seems that he took that big leaf to make this face guard. Everything is blocked except the eyes.

The airflow between the face guard and the skin is so small that it does not feel suffocating. Maybe Bell is doing something about it. It's a fine trick, though I'm worried about its appearance.

"Yes, yes. Yes, he looks ...... so much stronger than before. Phew."

I said puh-uh. The Great Spirit of the Wind said phew. Well, it's a good thing we're all well-equipped for life. But you'll have to take the blame for encouraging Belle and the others.

"Have I become strong?　What part of it made you look strong?"

Bell and the others gathered around me, curious about my question. Do you think Sylphy looks strong? And did it make you look cooler? They are asking aggressive questions. Well, I guess you'll have to check me out to answer their questions.

If I laugh too hard, Bell and the others will be sad. Hold your laughter and praise the armor of nature, Sylphy!　As I was inwardly encouraging Sylphy, she looked up and glanced at me. Oh, she turned her head right away. And her convulsions are increasing. She said she could see everything with the wind, but now she doesn't see me with the wind.

"Yes, I know. I love how strong you look with your mask on your face.

Sylphy manages to squeeze out a few words.

I did my best to think of something. I don't need to be poisoned.

Tamamo and Belle shout with joy at the praise of their masks. What?　Belle, did you prepare the masks so that they wouldn't be poisoned?　Yeah, that's why the air is flowing through the mask. The air around the eyes seems to be moving strangely to prevent the poison from entering.

Moreover, the movement of the air is controlled so that the eyeballs do not feel any wind at all. This must be the reason why they do not suffer from dry eyes. I was sad that they gave me a mask or something that I don't understand, but I guess they made it with me in mind. I'm so touched right now. Forgetting that I didn't like it, I praise Bell and the others with all my might.

Sylphy, what about the rest?

After he praised them as much as he could, he talked to Sylphy again. I was moved by the kindness of the Belles, but I decided to attack Shilfi a little more.

I am usually very grateful to Shilfi, and I truly believe that she saved my life. However, when I see Shilfi in a weakened state in front of me, I want to attack her again. I must be a scab.

Sylphy is being questioned by Belle and the others as to what's so cool about him. I'm standing right in front of her. I've got nothing to be afraid of, surrounded by the kindness of Belle and the others. Now look at me, Sylphy!

"Oh, Sylphy, that's not fair!"

Sylphy glances at me again, then looks away, slowly melting into the wind and disappearing. What do I look like now that the Great Spirit of the Wind is running away?　Ugh, I need a full-length mirror. I'll take a picture with my phone at ...... No, let's not do that. There's no danger of it leaking, but there's still something I don't want to leave behind.

We call Sylphy, but she doesn't come out, so we ask her to deactivate the nature armor and have a snack with Belle and the others. We can't seem to get going. Shall we summon Sylphy?
