279 Episode 195: Unpetrifying and Mountains of Salt

Aska said 'I'll do anything', so I decided to ask her if she was ready.

"So if I tell you to be my slave, will you be my slave?

"Wow..."

Mio is pulling it off for some reason.

"Slave, what?

Aska listened back as Kyoton.

Apparently, you didn't know the word slave per se.

I don't think I have a chance to use a word about slavery on this island, so it's not impossible for Asuka (then 9 years old), born on this island, not to know.

"When you become my slave, you have to listen to whatever I say all the time. There is no freedom, you will continue to do 'do anything' until you die"

Zackled explanation, but it would be nice if that misery could be conveyed.

"Hmm. Freedom, I wonder if there isn't...?

Mio is tilting his neck for some reason.

"Be! Everyone, if it helps!

Aska, it's an instant answer.

All the local braves in this world are basically thoughtful, aren't they?

"Hey, what the hell are you talking about? A slave?

Ground looked surprised and called out to me.

Well, if I suddenly told a girl to be a slave, she'd look like that, too.

The next decision to make is the treatment of two Osama, oddly enough I was thinking just before Aska showed up.

Honestly, I don't need it, but they see what we're going to do first, and there's no reason to leave it.

We've come this far together. It's a corner, so let me give you two a choice.

"If we can save people who have been petrified and torn apart, how acceptable are you? Can you tolerate being a slave?

If you can tolerate two people becoming slaves, reunite them with a family that has been petrified.

If you can't tolerate being a slave, that's the end of the story. After returning the two of you from the island, you come back to the island and undo the petrified people. Naturally, I won't let you see them.

"Isn't that natural? It's cheap if it helps our families to become slaves."

"Right. If you're such an old man, you'll be a slave or whatever."

Surprisingly, neither Isle nor Earth answered without any hesitation.

Even though he's not a local brave man, he's thoughtful, too.

"From the beginning, if my family had died, I'd be ready to die here."

"At least I want to die in the same place."

Two people announce their plans to commit suicide without changing their expression.

Assuming I'd let the petrified people die unpetrified without repairing them, as Earth wanted, Earth and Isle would have committed suicide on the spot as well.

"It's my first ear?

"It's not like I'm gonna tell you guys, is it? Besides, we talked about it a long time ago and we decided."

"It's better to decide beforehand how to shake yourself than to know what's going on on on this island."

"Petrification on boulders was unexpected, though.... well, it would be good to treat them the same way they were dead"

"I'm ready to die. As soon as you're ready to be a slave, you'll decide."

I see. You mean Osama and I didn't have to ask.

It would be good. Then let's meet that readiness.

I silently activated the magic of "Vacuum" from.

At my feet, I gather just one stone statue shard.

"Hey!? Stone statue shards gathered in an instant!?

"What the hell..."

"Annie, sister!

Do you know who Asuka is just a collection of stone statue shards......

I collect Annie (14 years old) shards at.

"Annie sister!?

"Is this the magic of 'storage'?

"Chanting, you didn't, did you?

Automatically assemble stone statues with the synthetic function of.

For any reason, no shards are present in the periphery and a 'revive' is used for the missing part.

I activated Kossoli and enslaved Annie (the Dog Beast Man) without resistance.

And if you use 'anti-stone' for the stone statue that returns to its original appearance, the petrification is released and Annie (low height), who remains born, comes out of < infinite storage (inventory) >.

You're pathetic to stay naked because you also have strange Osama eyes.

Dress like a robe and then activate 'Anti-Stone'.

At the same time as the petrification is lifted, Annie (cute system) comes out of < infinite storage (inventory) > and catches her with a princess hug.

"Annie sister!!!???"

I look straight into my eyes and Aska is stunned.

"Ugh...... I..., the hell..."

Petrification is a normal state anomaly.

If you have petrified in a state of awakening, as long as you release petrification, you will regain consciousness immediately.

"Annie, sister!

When I got Annie (striped bread) down to the ground, Aska hugged her to bury her face.

Earlier, the Asuka line is a one-pattern.

"Huh...? Who...?

I thought it would be an inspiring reunion, but it was such a merciless question to get back from Annie (silver-haired semi-long).

"Remember, you don't...?

Aska with a face up and a desperate look.

"Hey, is that happening?

"No, at least, I've never heard of it."

From the two Osama's perspective, they are concerned that their families will find themselves in the same situation.

"Do you know where this place is?

"Uh, this is my settlement. Oh, who are you......?

When I ignored the three of them and asked Annie (beautiful ass) the right answer came back.

This is probably...

"My name is Jen. What's your name?

"Oh, it's Annie."

"Do you recognize this girl?

I point to Aska.

"No, I don't"

"So, do you know any girls about 9?

"Uh... Aska proper...... Huh...? Kung Kung......"

Annie (milk-free), who looked like she noticed something, smelled the aska holding her.

And I glanced at him. Aska is...... due to wild life, it stinks......!!!

"Ugh... But I figured, you're Aska, right?

"Annie sister!!!

Again, Aska burying her face. Annie barking her face (she whispered "stink......").

Yes, Annie (with myopia) had changed Aska's appearance too much, she just didn't realize it. Later, I didn't realize it smelled like someone I knew.

Then, we briefed Annie on what was going on.

"3 years......... hard to believe, but when the settlement is so lonely, I guess it's true..."

Unexpectedly, Annie accepts the facts lightly.

"How much do you remember when you were petrified?

"All I know is that someone who was an adventurer screamed 'Here Comes Cocatrice' and saw a monster like a bird"

"What...?

"Huh? Duh, what's wrong...?

My expression gets harsher and Annie makes herself stronger.

"Hey, what's going on?

"Something bothering you?

I ignore Osama and cover my face with my hands.

"What... 'This settlement was destroyed by the Basilisk'. Different demon..."

When I saw the settlement, my thoughts were as hazy as I thought.

If you find a petrified settlement after you see Basilisk, you think Basilisk did it for everyone!

Cocatrice is also famous as a petrified demon alongside Basilisk, but it was impossible to predict that on boulders!?

"Ma, your husband is shocked by something weird..."

"Mio, what is bothering your husband?

"That's..."

Unmercifully, Mio spoke for me inside.

It seems that the four people who are not the subject of the conversation do not understand at all.

I didn't fail... I get back on my mind and ask three other people besides Annie.

"Come on, choose. Be my slave or not?

"What, slave? What are you talking about?

I hadn't even told Annie about the slave situation, so I asked her strangely, but I'll put it behind me because the explanation is cumbersome.

"Don't you think we have a choice when you show us something like that..."

"Right.... When we become slaves, they help our families, don't they?

"Oh, I promise. And what about Aska?

"Slave, be. Everybody, help me."

After all, it is an Aska who does not hesitate.

"I'll be a slave too. I need you to help my family."

"Me too, of course."

Three agreed, and I enslaved one at a time.

"With that said, what are you going to do with this lady? No, dude, what are we gonna do... ru...?

Earths, who has just become a slave, has shown Annie and asked in lousy shitty terms.

"You don't have to force it and use respectful language. It's just uncomfortable."

"Ooh.... Helpful"

It was clearly a relieving ground.

"I enslaved you to stop talking about my abilities. Naturally, the people who resurrected them from petrification will also be enslaved to stop them."

"I knew it would happen..."

"Yes. I had predicted... you had no choice, did you?

"All slaves? Do something terrible? If you do, leave me alone."

Three new slaves who seem anxious.

"Uh, don't worry. Master, there's nothing terrible about slaves. I don't know..."

Perhaps that's what Mio, the slave who is most bewitched by me, said.

"Now, from the way I put it, my lady... they're slaves too"

"That's right."

"Yes, it's my pride"

I'm very proud to say, is that good for Maria's return?

"Then shouldn't this lady have been enslaved with you?

"Annie's already my slave. Annie, your hand."

"Yes.... Huh?

Annie is surprised that you've done something irrelevant to your will.

Most beasts are reluctant to be treated in the same way as the animals on which they are based. To be precise, they are reluctant to be treated like pets and livestock by others (apart from intimate relationships, such as family, lovers, etc.).

It's impossible to be a dog beast and "hands" on someone you've almost met for the first time.

"Where did you get the chance to use that procedure...?

"I don't know. In the meantime, you should give up thinking about the details."

"Right. If I'm surprised, I don't have the Kiri."

In a way, 'I'm not surprised' is the right way to treat me.

"Well, I guess we'll undo the rest of them."

"Please..."

"Please"

"Please."

"Hand... to a man I don't know... Hand..."

More than I imagined, Annie seems to have been in a lot of shock.

Then an hour later, he succeeded in freeing all residents from petrification.

It took a long time, even though it was an easy task, because, on a proposal from Maria, the petrification was lifted in one order at a time.

I knew immediately what Maria's proposal meant.

The way people were resurrected from the stone statues that fell apart in front of them aroused the fear that they themselves were, and had enough pressure to frighten the beings who could cure it.

When I told him that I had become a slave in that state, no one had any counter-invention, even if I was ever flattened.

By taking the time first, we reduced the hassle later.

As such, the residents are delighted that they were all safe.

We're in the middle of an inspiring reunion now that we've resurrected Earths and Isle's family as well.

For the record, the month of the three years that had been petrified and the transformation of Aska surprised everyone.

And when we all calmed down, we decided to talk about the future.

"Ask the inhabitants of the settlement to decide on the future. There are three main choices. It'll be either" Stay on this island, "" Back to where I lived, "or" Working at a base I own. "

The purpose of enslaving the inhabitants is to stop and mute.

I have a place to go home. I'm not going to force anyone who wants to stay here.

"If we leave this island, we will leave behind the fact that we have been petrified for three years. However, the stone statue did not fall apart. I'll undo it with normal petrification magic."

If the fact that the stone statue has been destroyed is gone, then there will be no inconsistency in the story.

"Um... In the first place, can you get off this island?

Hands up, it's Annie who's been asking questions.

I let Annie float in the universe with the power of a wind dragon.

"Hih!?

"You don't think you can get off this island with my help?

Turn Annie around like a balloon.

"You can leave! I think I can get out!

You seem to understand me. Above all.

"Something, intimacy..."

Mio was feeling a strange intimacy for Annie.

Later, as a result of discussions among the residents, there was no one left on this island, to be divided into two parts: those who would return to where they originally lived and those who would work at my base.

Below are the opinions of the residents.

"I have good memories on this island too, but I still want to go home"

"I will take the child born here and go home to my parents. Because I want to show my parents my grandson's face."

"I can't live decently because the settlements are worn out. It would be best to follow you."

"I grew up hearing stories outside from my dead parents. Instead of my parents, I want to look around the outside world"

"I also deplored the fact that this island was not safe. Thoughtful in the settlement, but not in lieu of life"

Mostly like this.

Some have given up because they want to stay on the island if they can, but the residents will be reduced and their lives won't be able to form.

I'm not going to take care of anyone who stays on this island on a boulder.

For the record, Earth and Isle and their families chose to work for me.

"As promised, I will work as your slave. They're coming with my family."

"Same here. I'll pay you back for the rest of your life."

For the record, I'm not giving Aska a choice.

I'm sorry, but the local braves have things to do.

It should be noted that when I told him I was taking him by force, Aska didn't move at all.

"It's okay. I don't have anything to remember anymore. Everything you say, everything you listen to."

I also feel that this makes me too ready...

gossip.

Where future policy had been decided, residents were to prepare for their escape.

Furniture and other items were left on the island and allowed to take only valuables and memorabilia.

There are aspects to leaving furniture for future drifters. Worn out, but with buildings and furniture, the situation would be somewhat better.

While the residents get ready, we'll do what we have to do on this island.

"So it's treasure hunting time."

Me, Mio, and the four of us who added Aska to Maria were headed for a mountain with only one on the island.

It follows rumors that treasures lie asleep in the mountains of the flowing islands.

"Yay! I hope you have some good stuff! Or I really hope so!

Unfortunately, it's just a rumor, so it's more likely there isn't.

With that in mind, Mio and I are thriving. Naturally, Maria is not thriving.

"Me, I saw it, over here. Soon."

I brought Aska because a mysterious girl was headed to the mountains.

According to Aska, he was chasing a mysterious girl, but he seemed noticed and lost sight of her, and the next time he found her, he seemed to have taken Cocatrice with him.

After the inhabitants were petrified, they searched around the mountains many times, but said they found nothing.

We came all the way to the mountains to get to the truth about treasure rumors and petrification.

Or maybe those two have something to do with it.

"With that said, how long does your husband keep playing Map Banned Binding?

As I was walking, Mio asked me as if I remembered.

"... well. By the time you found Aska, you had no reason to tie up the map"

I completely forgot until Mio told me, but banning the map on this adventure was the # 1 purpose of meeting the skill owner by chance (...).

By the time we find Asuka, the brave man of the ghost, our purpose has been fulfilled.

"I know it's fun to play tie-in, but shouldn't your husband unlock the map, too?

Maria, I shake my neck vertically with a serious look on my face.

"I've fulfilled my purpose, and it's not good to keep burdening Maria."

Maria, I shake my neck forcefully beside you with a serious look on your face.

"I don't think it's a burden. But I hope Jen's safety improves slightly."

"Ah, deny the burden part..."

Maria herself doesn't admit it's a burden, but it's definitely a burden as a matter of fact.

Map tying is fun, but there's no reason to hold him for any length of time.

"Okay. Unlock the map when this quest is over. There are boulders, maps unlocked on the way to treasure hunting, and indigestion."

"That's good. So let's enjoy the last event of the map ban, shall we?

I hope this is a fun event.

We proceeded through the woods guided by Asuka and arrived in the mountains in about 10 minutes.

"Oh, I've never seen a pile of salt before, but it's a mysterious sight inside"

Like Mio said, all the little mountains in front of me were made of salt.

Salt becomes a crystal-like translucent crystal, taking the form of a mountain.

Actually, this mountain is an island whale jet hole.

Speaking of mysterious ecological whale-type demons, there are many parts of the ecology that are common to whales, as well as tidal waves.

Should I call it a fountain on a seamount (Kazan) without a volcanic eruption?

Seawater fountains have been repeated for years, and salt has accumulated around the jet holes, making them look like mountains at times. It is a mystery of nature.

... Calmly, that reasoning doesn't make it to this point a beautiful crystal, but the strange force worked there, so don't worry about it.

"How's it going with your husband?

"Excellent. He's the perfect tourist flavor."

The mystery of nature that can only be seen in that land.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it could never be removed as a tourist destination.

"Outside the island, no mountains?

Aska wondered how we were.

"No, that's not true.

"Why are you happy?

"There seems to be only one pile of salt here."

"Mountain outside, not salt???

Because Asuka was born on this island, is this' mountain of salt 'the only mountain you know?

If you don't know the other mountains, you can't force 'Mountains of Salt' to become the standard either.

Even the rare things in the world are not uncommon to the inhabitants of the land.

"Mio, explain it to him"

"Yes. You know what? You mean the mountain outside..."

I left Mio in charge of explanations to Aska, and I decided to start investigating the mountains.

One minute has elapsed since the start of the investigation into "Mountain of Salt".

"I found it."

"Morning!?

As I was walking around the mountains, I noticed the discomfort and looked it up, and only a part of it was made of real crystals, not salt crystals.

Because it was cleverly resembling the surrounding crystals, Asuka probably didn't know.

"Maybe there was a hidden door here..."

It's hard to open with force, but if you know a little trick, it's the type of hidden door that opens easily.

I'm not saying I can't open it by force.

As Mio and the others approach, keep the hidden doors open at all times.

"That's fast. You really don't have a map, do you?

Mio looks at the hidden door and says rude things.

"You think I'm gonna lie like that?

"I don't think so. Your husband wouldn't be so surprised..."

I'm Jin Tang Jen, a man who has a reputation for discovering hidden passages.

"And there was a door... This, quickly..."

Aska is shocked that I found a hidden door that I couldn't find in less than a minute.

I don't know what to say to myself, but I think they were bad.

"Aska, they're bad for you. Your husband is impotent anyway."

You don't have to tell me yourself, Mio told me.

"Unteachable... bitter tea...?

"That's right. Return people who have been petrified and torn apart, escape 50 people from this island, or discover hidden doors in a minute. Can a normal person do that?

"I can't..."

"Your husband can do a lot more amazing things. If you're in shock about this, your husband's slaves can't do it. It's a good idea to get used to it soon."

Mio's. Is that advice?

Note that Maria is proudly nodding (more silent than usual because of the ban on rattling).

"Okay. Good luck, get used to it."

"That's good!

Aska, 12, is honest.

"Well, I'll open it"

I was just finishing up talking about Mio, and I quickly opened the hidden door.

"This is..."

"You stink..."

"It also smells like medicine."

"Awesome, smells..."

What drifted from the inside was the rotten smell of the creature and the smell of medicine that I didn't quite understand.

I don't know if I'm lucky, but I don't smell human.

I don't feel like an event to enjoy!

"Excuse me."

That's what Maria said, she covered us with.

At the next moment, the unpleasant smell is shut out. Still, that's a handy skill.

"Is this...?

"So is Maria. Because it's pretty lame..."

"Okay. Get used to it."

After all, the adaptability of local braves has something to keep an eye on.

When I entered the hidden passage because the smell was gone, there was a staircase that immediately led to the basement.

The walls, ceilings and stairs of the hidden passage were all made of the same crystal as the hidden doors. The refraction of light is being successfully utilized so that it cannot be seen from the outside. It is an advanced technology in vain.

"You've been working on it a long time."

"At this point, there seems to be no ordinary treasure..."

Because of the way the passage is hidden and the unpleasant smell, there is a more secret sense of laboratory than a treasure room.

"We're going down."

Start descending the crystal stairs with my decree.

The land now is moss on the back of an island whale, so it shouldn't be that deep a staircase.

As expected, the stairs ended about 10 seconds after we started descending.

"Ugh..."

Aska curbs her mouth and groans.

"Well, you felt that way somehow."

"Right."

What was in the basement was massive demonic carcasses.

They are treated differently as being dissected in pieces, soaked in chemicals, or taken in by magic tools (magic items).

Whatever you think, it's a secret laboratory. Yes.

"You were researched by a pretty mad scientist. I'm also biased in my disgust by the type of demon..."

It is also natural that Mio looked disgusted, given the lineup of demonic carcasses.

Cocatrice (petrification), Green Mash (paralysis), Lara Bye Bye (sleep), Purple Mash (poison), Goblin Sherman (curse), Ice Slime (freeze), Tea Mash (confusion) and more.

It is an on-parade of demons that brilliantly cause state abnormalities.

Cocatris who attacked the settlement, the basilisk that was preventing him from landing on the island whale, doesn't seem irrelevant either.

"There's a lot going on, but there doesn't seem to be anything pleasant about it. Map, unlock…"

"I don't feel comfortable checking this place out by hand..."

The purpose of coming here is twofold: 'hidden treasures in the mountains' and 'the truth about petrification'.

It doesn't look like this lab has the treasure I want. The truth about petrification seems more likely.

By the time I got here, it's a paragraph as an adventure, and banning any more maps doesn't seem like something fun to do.

Later, even if we investigate, there are too many things we don't want to touch.

Isn't this just the right time to lift the map?

That's why I'm unlocking the map.

Sakura, who is waiting on Lattice Island, was also notified in a speech, and I unhid the map.
