Isekai Cheat Survival Meshi

About four days had passed since the Yoda Polar Zone Expedition visited The White Desert.

Follow the river, go beyond the rocky mountains, and go infinite whites.

Yoda adapted to this environment so much so that she had no trouble with food or water, and her best natural enemies were bored by a sight that could no longer be changed.

Still, diseases and the like are still horrible, and there are some nutrients that are really hard to take away. It will be hard to live all the time in this drenched earth, even if it is fine now. Yoda continued the march, biting that such a place was a "polar area".

As we approach the centre of the island, the area gets a little colder and the current temperatures are freezing.

A white world that even spreads if you exhale white breath into the coolness of the air you inhale and look around.

Though associating the end of the world with that sight, he has been pushed back by the presence of his companions and kept walking.

But there seems to be an end to such an infinite world.

The river that even traced was broken in a certain place.... No, it's not the right way to say it was interrupted.

If I describe it properly, should I say 'I can no longer see from the surface'?

"Oh... are you serious"

"Cave, right?"

The river still continues.

Except - beyond that, in a cave.

The terrain that promises to be a game or something. But the first thing Yu felt when he saw the entrance was fear.

It's like an organism that opens its mouth and waits for its prey - who was the first to make such an analogy? I see, indeed, the analogy is accurate, and Yu sweats cold.

Still, it would be the modern sex of adventurous temperament that makes me laugh.

"I want to come in and investigate. What do they think?

Some of mankind in the past have lived in caves - for it is not strange that there are as many traces of civilization as there seems to be doomed.

A little romance and a desire to find Clara's roots to do it. And alone courage drove Yo there.

After a brief tour, Clara and Katia nodded.

"I've come this far, let me stick with you. It's not a good idea to have one of them."

"Alicia...... thanks"

Alicia would have followed me from the beginning, even as I mixed up the hatred.

Yo looks out into the cave, smiling bitterly at a girl who's not honest in a strange place.

"Do you want to go where there is unanimity... and I just want to go. Before we cave, we have a few things to do."

He took control of Clara in an attempt to begin his cave exploration quickly, and Yu largely took an affordable stone in his hand.

And throw it into the cave.

As pebbles bounce through the cave, light sounds echo and can be heard overlapping.

As Yu lurks his voice, Clara and the others learn from it. After doing so for a while, Yu turned to Clara and the others.

"When you go into a terrain like this - a cave or something - this is how you better make sure there's nothing inside before you go in. You're scared of a big beast in the dark."

"Oh, that's scary...... thanks for letting me know, Yu"

"You mean you've never been cautious"

Caves are in relation to being able to prevent rainstorms, or many animals prefer to sleep on them.

Areas as as hot as deserts on the planet can often also prevent heat, making it a perfect place to stay that day if you are in distress or something. But if it's comfortable for humans, it's the same for animals living on earth. It would also be better to check this way to avoid unnecessary trouble with the 'client'.

"And one more thing. I have my sight secure, but I'll have a pine light in the cave. If there's a fire, it's easy to detect when there's a toxic gas. Well, I don't think I'd get to cave without the lights, but once."

And the second thing to do before entering the cave is to prepare the fire.

If there were toxic gases, if they were full of carbon dioxide - fire would react remarkably to those gases.

If you check what's on the spot with reactions such as fire burning, and vice versa, you can also deal with it.

"Then when you're ready, go."

"Yeah."

"Right."

When he finishes introducing minimal preparation this way, Yu heads into the cave.

I was going to walk in the lead, but watching Clara line up next door, Yu didn't say anything.

"What is this... glowing moss"

When I started walking in the cave, the first thing Yu cared about was the mossy plants covering the walls.

"You're a hiccarigoku. It's an unusual plant that absorbs the dark magic of darkness and emits light. It often grows in places like this, but it's also strong enough to breed on its own if it's brought in from elsewhere."

"This is... hey. It's actually a little touching to see."

The name, as you can see, is Hikarigoke.

However, as far as Katia's description is concerned, the ecology seems very different from that on Earth.

─ ─ Yu seems to think of it as a plant entirely exclusively in the fantasy world, but in fact, there is a plant called Hikarigoke on Earth as well. You seem to be very delicate and not strictly self-luminescent.

Unexpectedly, I am impressed by the brightness of the cave, but the flames of the pine light are not extinguished and are shaking.

Well, Yu stopped his leg to see if something bothered him.

Nonetheless, the flames of the pine lights are constantly shaking. That means...

"The sound of the wind... this cave may lead somewhere."

Air flow exists.

At least one place, somewhere connected to the outside.

That could be a small hole, or it could be a way out that leads somewhere.

Unconsciously, Yu realized she was enjoying herself.

The depths of the desert like no one's coming, the end of the cave... I can't believe it hurts a boy.

Yu observes the cave as he roams the nuggets.

The cave is bright thanks to the hikarigoke even though the light doesn't plug in. And with it, it's warmer than it is without a heart, and it's flowing up to the river.

Every condition could be said to be suitable for organisms to live in.

There's no need to worry about the water from rainstorms, that's enough reason for humans to come forward.

But there's not even a sign of a foolish demon there.

All of that made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Without delay, and proceeding carefully through the cave, Yoda eventually went out into a giant cavity.

I don't know the exact height, but a few dozen meters is enough. It was the same next door - as if it had slipped through the contents of a rocky mountain.

"Whoa, whoa... Whoa! Awesome! Oh, my God, here!

"Wow......!

Unexpectedly Yu and Clara exclaimed in a cavity so magnificent that nature did not think it had made it, but humans could not.

It's just a cavity, but because of its magnitude, I couldn't help but be aware of the great existence.

"That's a brilliant place... if it's about a settlement, I'm going to be able to make it"

As Katia says, this size would make it comfortable to live in a small settlement or so.

Maybe there's a human trail here. Given what Katia says, it wouldn't be unnatural to have traces here.

Once the progress is interrupted, you may want to look around.

Even though I can only see about a hikarigoke, you can try to mimic Alicia, who also loses her words and looks around the great cavity without scratching - and Yu exhales with a smile.

… but that was never the case with exploration.

Suddenly, Alicia stopped moving.

In a sudden motion like a parabolic ball stops perfectly in the air, Yu moves his neck toward Alicia's gaze...

Yes, it's obvious if you think about it.

Yu remembers the discomfort he thought of earlier when he confirmed his appearance.

It's odd that humans don't even have the presence of foolish demons in a place with all these favorable conditions.

There's a reason why life didn't take root in a place where there's so much to aim for that place that you might even try to take away if you want to live in this environment.

"Hih... what, that... whoa!

It was Clara who slowly confirmed the appearance to Yu Alicia and raised her drawn voice.

... things at the end of your gaze. It was a giant crustacean, more than three metres tall.

Multilegged on a thin, sharp crotch. A giant crab with scorpion-like tails behind it.

Eyes that jumped out of his body and did not make him feel the presence of emotions were just pale to capture Yoda.

For the first time in years, as bait.

"Ugh, ooh!

disguise. Exactly the kind of beings that deserve to be described come toward us with a thump - Yu shouted at the presence of too unusual and distant a predator.

Or out of fear, or to strike it off. The cry that both have become is a wooden spirit in the cave.

"Nah... what the hell is this thing...! I've never heard of such a monster!?

It is Katya who, bewildered, releases her sword.

Of the Yoda Polar Zone expeditions, you can say that Katya is the most familiar with the polar zone and the creatures there, albeit comparatively.

The more that Katya disturbs, the more unknown. Before the unknown monster, Yu drank Tsuba.

Crab, in a nutshell.

But the crab - but its appearance is more than enough to terrorize Yoda, who even defeated the dragon.

Anger, confusion. Those emotions were certainly felt from the eyes of the dragon.

But how about this monster? The blue gray crust, the regularly-moving multileg, and the eyes as if to deny the presence of emotions remind me of the 'institution'.

Yes, it's like a machine. Ingest bait to replenish energy. 'Machines for running ecosystems' as if they were running just for that.

That was the impression I had of my presence in front of me.

"... Huh! Coming!"

Before the presence of the heterogeneity, it was Katya who gave instructions as soon as possible.

When the giant crab increases the speed of its steps, the giant approaches rapidly along with the sound of the devil pounding his teeth -!

Yo, Clara, Katia, Alicia. When each held the two nearby and flew backwards, a giant crab ram slammed the spot where Yoda was until a moment ago.

The ground of crushed stone scatters along with sounds that are likely to reach the entrance of the cave instead of in the cavity.

"How powerful...!

"There shouldn't be any creatures in the cave by reason...!

Haven't the cave lords come near for fear of creatures - or have they been eaten by this monster? Yu and Katia bite hard, knowing why there was no organism in such a high location.

He said you should have noticed if you thought about it. But it's too late now.

More than this, we just fight.

"Katya!"

"I know!

They multiply their voices and stand side by side to confront the giant crab.

Yu and Katia laid down their weapons, abandoning the wars that made fear and discomfort come to naught.

"The operation!

"I'm the shield! Don't get a single shot at Katia!

"As always, I'm going to say you're impotent!

When we skip a light mouth, the two breaths fit perfectly and the fear blows away somewhere.

As they pinch the giant crab coming towards them, the two scatter.

The eyes of the crab, left and right, are each directed in the opposite direction, constantly monitoring Yu and Katya.

Yu immediately activates "Attraction" and "Hardening". to align the required abilities.

But...

"Mm... Huh!

The giant crab nevertheless turned to Katya.

Fighting doesn't always know what's going to happen - its mindset dodges the blade that gets ripped off.

Katia screamed as she avoided the sharp blade with a backward retreat.

"Probably a 'position'! He's targeting the easily attacked as a priority!

Yu, who was puzzled that the "lure" did not work, returned to me in Katya's report.

Maybe the giant crab who felt like he had no emotions was right. Prioritize nearby Katya over Yu who seems attractive as bait. That's as mechanical as I felt.

"Approaching! I need you to peek into the gap!

"Got it!

Voicing each other, Yu and Katya try to keep their distance from each other, Yu approaches and Katya takes turns simultaneously.

When Katya's distance is out of range, the giant crab swung up his sword as expected.

It's a blow enough to smash the stone ground. I would be sorry if it was safe to use "hardening".

This time, we need to avoid it more than ever.

While thinking about it, Yu confirms his partner's attack, crushing the ground and tongue-in-cheek at the fragment-flying crab.

A flying Katya puts a sword in the crab.

"Gu......! Stiff!"

The giant crab crust had a tremendous hardness.

The stubbornness of the sound seems to have beaten a giddy and stuffed large rock.

Seeing the initial motion of a giant crab fighting back overhead, Katia quickly moves into dodging action, paying 23 paralyzed hands when she lands without sound.

As Katya switched to herself due to her departure, Yu took a great distance to avoid alternating attacks of the switches from left to right.

Still, the distance is closer - the giant crab approaches Yu again.

─ ─ At that moment, Yu may have felt an unknown fear thanks to his experience of exposing himself as part of the wild.

Speaking of crabs,

Its use varies from species to species, but if you know an organism called crab, you would first associate that with both hands.

But that's not all this' crab 'is - a scorpion-like tail that stretches out of its back.

In the process of retreating, Yu found that it could be directed against him as the snake that brings the sickle.

That sucks.

Feeling the danger intuitively, Yu did everything in his power to 'dodge' himself to the side, along with drawing attention to himself as simple as possible -!

"Ugh, ooh!?

At that moment, something ran.

Something - a speed that can only be described as' something 'runs through where it was just moments before it defied your body.

"Yu!"

"It's all right!... but this is"

Only move your gaze and see after something pops up.

... there, just a flash. After "Something" passed, there were signs of a knife running through the butter - and at the same time, it was frozen.

looks back to the giant crab as Yu realizes something all the time.

Among them, the gaze was poured on its disastrous tail.

Something like liquid was dripping off the tail.

It is clear that something was released from it.

Then I don't suppose...

"Frozen liquid......!

The earlier attack was an extraordinary momentum that caused fluid to erupt.

And the fluid has a very low temperature property.

"Watch your tail......! You can't just take this!

Defense is impossible because of the nature of freezing what is touched, even with the power itself.

Katia nodded at the yelling instructions from Yu, deepening her attention to her tail.

But what should we do?

The giant crab has a high defense and can't scratch one with a decent attack.

You had a hard time eating crabs on Earth, too, to deceive a bad situation. - Oh, my God, Yu laughs.

But that's when I realize.

When eating crabs, what was it like?

"Joints."

……

"If you have joint connections, especially on the back, you should be a little less defensive! Can you go!"

Yu flies instructions to Katya as she looks at the giant crab approaching this way.

joints. To Yo's words, Katia associates plate mails. Indeed, no matter how strong the armor is, the joints should have connections so as not to restrict movement.

"... let's do it!

"I got it!

If you pull out with every force, speed, and element, there are many parts of Yo that beat Katya.

But Katya has skills in combat that you don't have, experience.

Leaving the main attacker to Katya, Yu decided to focus on attracting the attention of the giant crab on the front line.

"Eww!

When he opened it and closed it in front of his eyes, Yu realized that a cold sweat was flowing.

Though "hardening" is what hasn't interrupted him, Yo wasn't so optimistic that if the sharp jar was pinched with the rigidity of that giant - he thought he would be safe.

In the first place, if you get caught, you're out.

"Whoa, whoa, seriously, stop it!

Because giant crabs have a spray of frozen liquid.

If you let the prey catch you, that's it.

Unlike earlier, Yu dared to turn forward to avoid frozen liquid rushing to the horizontal giraffe.

Since it is fired from high altitude, it appears that the frozen liquid attack has a safe area near the giant crab.

"Slash it!

(10) Continuous attack and frozen liquid from the tail. When she found a slice of a breath, Katia lowered herself and slashed the back of her joints in a low position.

The sound of cracking a plate of iron scatters with the spark.

Without having to smile at the definitive response, Katia left without getting tired of cutting the focus.

"Coming through! Behind the joints are relatively soft!

Still, as you can see from that sound, it seemed robust - although it is a famous sword - even a metal sword that can be described as normal can do damage.

That fact set fire to the flames of the fighting spirit.

I don't feel anything like pain or crisis from a giant crab. However, disturbances arise in movements that were extremely regular.

'Performance degradation' seems to occur if a large scratch is inflicted. Yo restarts his weapon on a demon that feels as cold as a machine everywhere.

But the giant crab is a creature, too.

The movement cannot be tied just by regularity.

"What!

"Oh...... hey!

Suddenly, the giant crab ignored Yoda and headed towards Clara and the others.

Yu and Katia couldn't hide their impatience when two unfamiliar fighters were targeted.

The giant body makes the sound of armor walking towards Clara and the others.

But it doesn't mean I'm just getting on this journey with them.

When Clara wraps her hands around something spherical, strong light begins to gather there.

Magic. Probably the type that releases magic and does damage. A strong glow, as if you had created a small sun in your hand.

You're just obsessed with it, Clara doesn't even move on the approaching demons.

In a few more steps, the giant crab clams will extend to the Clara and the others.

At that moment, the giant crab's posture sinks.

"As I thought. There's nothing like that. You're only going to be a little 'right'. Mr. Clara."

It's Alicia's "Morumi".

It didn't seem to go in completely because it was a powerful demon, but if it turns out to be a giant crab with extremely thin emotions, a piece of it seems to pass.

"'Barista'!

And Clara's magic will be unleashed on the disfigured demons!

A magic force transformed into a giant arrow turns to the head of a giant crab.

The giant crab tries to avoid it slightly. I guess it has sole power, it was the first evasive action I ever showed.

But the slow motion seemed inevitable - a magical arrow blows out the popped eye!

"Shh, wow, Clara! Alicia!"

Yu sends a compliment to the two brilliant attacks he thought were non-combatants somewhere in his mind.

But there won't be a second time because Alicia's "Morose" can be defeated if she has the will, and Clara's attacks have a gap that can be considered deadly in the fight against the wild.

But enough to leave, Clara and the others, who shrugged off, flew encouragement.

"We're gonna be okay. - So, good luck!

In one word, Yu felt something like the bitterness Clara had ever felt.

Let's apologize later - when I put my mind to the future, there was nothing more scary.

Yoda, caught up with the giant crab, launches a fierce attack.

The lack of one eye, which had lost its blind spot in two, could be said to be deadly to deal with Yu and Katya, who perform the perfect combination.

The giant crab broke the joints in his body without exchanging in a harsh and precise attack as if the storm was willing.

Yu and Katia, who also forget to breathe and dance.

But it brings the signal to an end at the border.

Giant crab giants sink and rock the ground.

… Finally, all of its legs have been destroyed and its body can no longer be supported.

In this case, it won't be possible to travel anymore.

I try to lift my body from time to time, but that doesn't come true with legs with broken joints either.

But the tail of the special is still alive.

Yet Yoda watches the giant crab without hesitation.

That's why I must have noticed.

The tail of the giant crab captures Alicia exactly in the direction of Clara and the others who left earlier.

Late, Alicia seemed to notice that too. That the spearhead of death until decisive is directed at you.

Its destructive power, once seen, will not be forgotten.

"Death". Alicia has seen it swallow experiments many times.

Some of those who welcomed death were good friends. But somewhere vaguely, like a distant world, I dropped it off.

But no. If I can poke at it, I freeze, and the paralysis runs as if the deceased's nails were stuck all over my body.

"Yes, ya."

What leaks out of my mouth unknowingly is despair.

If I ran away while I was doing that - would I have died just a little bit, in a clean way?

When my vision, divided into two parts, floats, my powers fall out of Alicia's body.

But before "death," the boy stood up.

Yo slips himself into it so that he stands on a straight track that connects Alicia to the tail of a giant crab.

And it was at the same time that frozen liquid was ejected from the tail.

Because I'm dying, and I don't have the same momentum as the previous rays.

You reassured me that it would never be possible to pierce Alicia. I don't know, Alicia is the one who tries to scream to avoid Yo being a substitute.

And, at the same time, I felt the odds.

Inhale heavily and turn away.

Imagine Hellfire. Dark flames that boil the scorching bones down to the meat.

"Dragon Breath". It was extremely high temperatures that set Yo free against very low temperatures.

Red and pale. Heat and cold. Conflicting beings get closer to each other - they clash.

What happened in the blink of an eye was the vaporizing sound of your ears and the diffusion of explosive water vapors.

You can literally say there's been an explosion. The shock will blow you away, but...

He shouted, proud of his own safety.

"Katiahhhhh!

At the same time as that cry, Katia stuck a long sword in the mouth of a giant crab.

Katya, who had foreseen the victory, had already moved.

The blade, which passes straight into the brain, dances around the crab's guts.

It was an overwhelming 'destruction' that seemed irrelevant even without pain.

Momentum pulls through the sword, cloudy bubbles erupt from the giant crab.

When giant crabs burn down their last lives... The sickle-like tail of the reaper fell.

"Ya... yah...!

From his position, between his two legs, which remained blown away, Yu squeezed out his voice.

Thumbs up until crisp if you give a small temper and gaze at Katya.

Yu tried to get up when he returned his thumbs-up in a prestigious manner.

... but that falls behind.

"Why did you try to do that?"

"... uh"

Feelings of no apologies, confusion done that made no sense to do, and very little anger.

She asked Alicia, who seemed spicy and was about to cry, and Yu cheeked.

I'm sure there's no benefit to it, or so you think. Yu, who somehow understood Alicia's feelings, only thought a little, how to tell her before returning the answer.

"You're one of us. Well, I know why you're angry, but no matter if it wasn't beneficial or somewhat impossible, I helped because I wanted to. That's all."

Rationally, it's unscrupulous, and we shouldn't be doing that in the position of a fellow but even a leader.

I had a lot to say, but Alicia's head was on the verge of a punk with an emotional entanglement like I'd never felt before.

"Well, thank you."

"Mmm."

It was a small thank you that I finally squeezed out.

Honestly still militarily, there was anger that Yu, who moved to help himself because of his importance in the journey, etc., was stupid.

... but when I think about why I'm angry about such facts, I get an answer easily. Alicia turns her face.

"Oh, uh, I'm tired! But well, good luck to you all. I'm gonna mess you up here today!

Answering what needed to be answered, Yu's condition was completely undone as well.

Clara reassures me that she's glad she didn't have any noticeable injuries, and that's Katia nodding at the toughness of "Symbol of Life" as Yu.

But when I understood the significance of the proclamation, the excitement rippled around.

"Let's go with Crab Making today! Let's eat!

If you win, there's a meal, like a stream of connected rivers.

The face of the polar expedition understood it well on this journey.

Crab making. The idea of eating crabs is not yet widespread in this world, but for Yu, the word was one of the symbols of luxury.

There are a lot of creatures around here that look like they're in the ocean - I can't believe it, but Yu set up a dragon knife.
