don’t make compromises when it comes to equipment and skills.”

“Yes, it isn’t as easy as it looks, right? However, people should put in the effort if they want to take it easy.
I don’t agree with the idea that taking the easy route is wrong.”

Satomi continued to fight the Mist Tigers while inside of Gochu.
While shooting the other tigers down, I watched their movements, and they did not seem uncomfortable at all.
I didn’t know how he was controlling the monkey’s body, but it couldn’t be easy for a human to move as a monkey so perfectly.
Even though there were similarities, biologically, the overall structure of their bodies was very different.
Was it talent? Passion…

“Satomi.
It seems like more of them are gathering even as we fight.
There is no end to them.”

“Tsk… Yes, it seems to be the case.
I’m going to blast away the mist with a charge attack and then we can move on ahead.”

And then Gochu began to spin his staff above his head.
As for me, Garbow began to break apart and then combined with my bow.

“Charge Attack – Fire Rock Flower!”

“Combination Charge Attack – Meteor Bow!”

Boulders that burned red like meteors rained down, as did shining red arrows, and they blew away and erased the mist.
This time, the Mist Tigers turned into particles of light and disappeared.

Our vision opened up, and a path that stretched out to the mountain peak appeared in front of us.

“Now’s our chance.
Apparently, Mist Tigers attack people who stand still after becoming lost.
So they won’t surround us as long as we keep moving.”

Satomi returned from his invisible state as Gochu picked him up.
And then we ran.
As I had used the combination charge attack, I wouldn’t be able to summon Garbow for an hour.
It would be quite dangerous if the tigers surrounded us again.
While it was a powerful attack, the demerit was heavy…

On the other hand, Satomi hadn’t really reacted at all to it.
It was as if it was something he had seen many times already…
He probably had the same ability as well then.

Players that were odd but had their own style were the ones to catch Necoco’s eye.
However, that was only if they had the skill to back it up.
And so he must have more tricks up his sleeve…

I had gotten excited and showed mine… The most powerful one that I had recently acquired.
Well, that was just like me.

“Damn it…why does the craftsman live in a place like this…!”

“I agree…! A craftsman has to accept jobs in order to live… But why would anyone want to come all of the way out here…!”

We were climbing yet another cliff.

As Gochu had become tired, Satomi was climbing by himself.
And his movements were incredibly awkward…
Was he the type who hated exercising…?

“We’re almost at the top…! You can do it…!”

I tried not to think about it and avoided looking up.
But I was also nearing my limit…!
It was just as I started to consider taking a chance and using Warp Arrow to shoot up, that my hand reached the top.

“I did it…! I’m at the peak…!”

But what was waiting for us there, was an unexpected sight.
As this was a craftsman who lived in the middle of nowhere, I expected a simple cottage.
Though, on further reflection, it did make sense for someone so skilled to have a proper workshop.
So a simple cottage wouldn’t do.
However, this surpassed even a ‘proper workshop.’

It was really a small town.
A glittering town that was like a small paradise.
Wait a minute…had we climbed so high up that we reached heaven…!?

“I am quite sure that this is our destination… We followed the signs, after all… In any case, I am exhausted! I don’t care if it’s the wrong place, I’m going to get some rest…!”

And so Satomi entered the town.
Yes, calm down.
If anything, things were rarely what I expected in this game.
The craftsman was surely here.
I just needed to find him and have my Windcloud set repaired…!
