MMO: Isekai No RPG - A Virtual Life In Another World -

Over the flowing waters of the river, the flying boat was sailing in fast, clear waters, the great mountain ranges of the Upper Grideia gave way to low reliefs, large forest areas, fields and plains that lie around the Xianoh River, bringing life where goes on its way to the sea.

Hytori: explain to me again why we are not flying ... - face down on the side of the boat.

Ezek: -It's already the second time a mush head. - sailing the boat. -we're in the low valleys, you can't see flying boats like this here and that would attract the attention of onlookers or people we don't want on our feet. - holding the tiller more tightly. -there may be more of the Hamura clan out there behind us, we cannot waver.

Aysa -I just hope Bennevide is not far away.

Kamero: -In the air we would gain more ground, but by the water we have to follow the course of the river, its curves, its deviations. - sitting on deck.

Sarina: -Stop complaining, we are already closer to our goal. - supported on one of the ropes that hold the mast.

Yashina: -she's right, after we find Madoka everything changes and we go back to our journey. - propped up in the cabin that gives access to the kitchen.

The boat makes a sudden ascent in the course of the river and soon an immense valley full of tropical trees is seen.

Ezek: -we arrived ... - with a serious look.

Hytori: -Uh ... - thoughtful.

Kamero: -Why all this "hum"? - looking at Hytori.

Hytori: -I only see palm trees ...

Kamero gets up to look around.

Aysa: -Are you sure we arrived?

Ezek: -Yes.

Sarina: -but where's Bennevide?

Ezek: -this is Bennevide.

The areas they meet have a large forest area with a giant tree in the center of it in the distance.

Yashina: -Great, Bennevide is a huge valley.

Kamero: -I thought Bennevide was a city.

Ezek: -Madoka came here to hide, she wouldn't go to a city for that. - guiding the boat to a nearby port.

Kamero: -makes sense. - with the hand on the chin.

Hytori: -How are we going to find this woman in the middle of all this?

Far away in a kind of village with several thatched huts, someone enters one of them towards one of the four available rooms.

-Miss, miss, they are waiting for you! - a child speaks.

-I'm ready ... - a woman wearing what looks like an eyeglass, wearing black clothes with a blue jacket and a white one, short blond hair appears at the bedroom door, carrying several different colored props. -let's start.

At the port Ezek talks to a boy after he moored his cruiser at the river's edge.

Ezek: -very careful with my boat boy. - handing you some coins.

-Yes sir. - a boy son of the owner of the port receives the money.

Ezek: -All right, listen to everyone. - standing with arms crossed. -this place is very dangerous, known for having many magical beasts because of being ... - being interrupted.

Hytori: -Rich in mana. - satirizing Ezek's voice. -we've heard it a million times.

Ezek: -but this time the beasts here are very powerful beasts, some deadly, so be careful when walking through the trees, especially you head of mush.

Hytori: -everything is left to me. - shrugging.

Kamero: -Good now that we know the dangers of the forest, we better go or we will lose a lot of daylight

Yashina: -we walk in pairs, with such a dense forest we cannot afford to get lost.

Sarina: -I'm going with Hytori! - holding his arm.

Aysa: -that's new. - looking at Kamero. -I'm going with Kamero!

Kamero: -And who said I want to go with you?

Aysa: -Our Kamero, how bad. - making a crying face.

Ezek: -then it's decided. - following the path that leads to the forest. - come on blonde.

Yashina: -until you ... - following him.

Hytori: -Kamero was bad kkk. - following along with Sarina.

Aysa: - extends Kamero's arm.

Kamero: - go on dreaming. - following others.

Aysa: -What a gentleman, then talk about Hytori.

Kamero: -Don't mix things up! - with your hands in your pants pocket.

Aysa: -adoooro when you pissed. - going after him.

Kamero: -this trip will be long ... - closing your eyes.

After a while walking through the forest, they stop at a fireplace near a stream where they can cool off and get some rest.

Hytori: -How much longer will we have to walk in this heat?

Aysa: -really this forest is very hot.

Kamero: -the climate here is tropical so the palm trees and these coconut trees.

Sarina: -different from the other forests we pass through. - thoughtful.

Kamero: -but that means that the dangers here are also. - taking some water from the stream. -in tropical forests there are many insects that can carry deadly toxins.

Hytori: -Are you afraid of an insect Kamero?

Kamero: -I'm just talking.

Hytori: -this is what you know how to do.

Kamero: -Then say I didn't warn you.

Hytori: -haha.

Yashina: -It already hurts you both. - turns to Ezek. -where are we going? We've been walking around here for hours on the way to I don't know what.

Ezek: -then you noticed. - rising from the rock where he was sitting. -that tree in the center of the forest.

Aysa: -What about her?

Ezek: -there is a village around it where the native peoples of that region live.

Kamero: -Do you think she is there? - approaching. -but you said yourself that you wouldn't be in an environment of people there.

Ezek: - Wrong, I said she wouldn't be in a big city.

Sarina: -and what would be the difference between a city and a village? Since there are people who can recognize it.

Ezek: -she may be afraid, hide, deprive herself of the world but she will never cease to be, the healer, Madoka Guren.

Yashina: -So she ...

Ezek: -Yes, if there is a place where they need your skill, they will be there.

Kamero: -it's a start, if she is such a good healer, everyone will know who she is in that place.

Ezek: -Exactly.

Hytori: -I want to know how we are going to find that huge tree in the middle of the forest and we can't even see anything above us.

Kamero: -Simple, you climb one of those trees with a high crown and look towards us.

Hytori: -Why does it have to be me?

Ezek: -vote, whoever the mush goes up one of those trees raises his hand.

Kamero, Ezek and Aysa raise their hands.

Hytori: -There was a draw.

Ezek: -who said?

Sarina also raises her hand right after the others.

Hytori: -until you Sarina.

Sarina: -I couldn't resist, lol. - containing laughter.

Hytori: -It can only be a joke. - looking at the height of the tree. -I can't even see the top of this thing.

Kamero: -Go on, show that you're a man.

Hytori: - said the dwarf who was stuck in a glacier. - creating black claws on the hands to help climb the tree. - there I go then. - climbing the tree trunk until the leaves disappear from view.

Yashina: -I don't think that's a good idea. - without seeing it.

Sarina: -you never think anything is a good idea, there is, you do, but in the end we almost died! - referring to Gin.

Yashina: -What are you implying? - looking at her.

Sarina: - for good I understand half a word is enough. - crossing his arms

Arriving at the top of the tree Hytori sees the big tree in the middle of Bennevide to the north.

Hytori: -wow. - admired that place. -the tree is close. - not hearing feedback. -folks?

Yashina: -What did you say, you stupid girl?

Kamero: -Calm down, Yashina.

Sarina: -who are you calling your fake blonde idiot.

Ezek: - stop it, you two.

Yashina: -I got tired of being disrespected you! - creating a disc of light and launched against Sarina.

Sarina deflects using a breath of wind that lifts her up in time.

Sarina: -What do you think you're doing? - looking at her when she returns to the floor.

The spike of light that passed through Sarina hits the tree that Hytori is crossing it thus cutting it in half.

Aysa: -This is not ... - seeing the tree cut.

Yashina: -Hytori! - the tree starts to bend.

Hytori: -aaaaaaaah! - trying to hold on to a branch of the tree before being thrown out of it.

Kamero: -Ice ray! - trying to freeze the trunk before it turns completely against the ground.

Sarina: -Very stupid. - running up the tree.

Ezek: -We have to find Hytori.

They climb the fallen tree trunk in search of Hytori.

Aysa: -nothing here.

Kamero: -not down there either.

Ezek: -Drugs, isn't he below her too? - trying to locate it.

Sarina: -Satisfied? Yashina. - Angry.

Yashina: -Hytori, where did you go? - distressed.

After a river of crystalline waters that cuts through Bennevide, Hytori wakes up after failing to hold on to the tree where he was and be thrown.

Hytori: -Wow, what happened? - passing the hand on the part of the head that he hit the collapse. -my luck falling on something soft. - fluffing that. -wait what is this? - looking down.

He was on what appeared to be a nest of something, with white and red colors, that was huge, surely the creature that made this place must have been very big.

Hytori: - not that. - getting up slowly. -carefully. - hears a pop. -damn it.

The place where he was seated with him, making him enter that nest falling on several oval objects that break with his weight.

Hytori: -haar! - hitting the bottom. -what is that? - with something sticky in the hands.

Suddenly something in the background emerges from the place making a high-pitched sound that almost pops Hytori's eardrums.

Hytori: -a giant spider! - seeing the size of the creature shows its prey. -aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Across the river near where the tree that fell, Yashina and the others are still looking for Hytori, Sarina steps away to try to find traces.

Yashina: -Hytori. - using your discs to cut the vegetation.

Kamero: -How can someone disappear like that?

Ezek: -this place is very dangerous for someone like him to stay here. - seeing the spiders nest.

Aysa: -look what a cutie thing. - seeing a spider approach it from the nest.

Kamero: -Be careful with that, Aysa.

Aysa: -she looks harmless. - taking the little spider in his hands.

Ezek: -What are you doing?

Aysa: -I think it was love at first sight. - petting the hairy spider.

5 men jumping over the trees approach them with blowguns.

Aysa: -What is that? - watching the trees move.

Kamero: - stay tuned. - perceives the men in the trees. -folks!

Yashina: -who are they?

Ezek: -native.

-By the order of the great MeiMei tree, you are being arrested.

The men fire darts at them without the chance to defend themselves and they all end up being hit and pass out.

-Take them.

Sarina: -Hytori! - trying to find it near the river. -what? - seeing footprints on the clayey ground. -I have to tell the others that. - She turns to return when she feels something hit her neck. -but what the f.u.c.k ... is this? - your body gets drowsy. -who ... - falls unconscious.

- get her.

Inside a straw house, someone wakes up on a carpet made of straw on the floor.

Hytori: -Hey, where am I? - seeing that I was somewhere else. - there it is ... - he remembers what happened in the spider's nest.

Hytori: -giant spider! - watching her approach with her fangs on display. -black impulse!

Hytori using his impulse manages to get out of the nest before being attacked by the giant spider.

Hytori: -that was close. - breathless. -now where am I? - feeling something walk on your back after a sting. -not this one. - his body starts to shake and he sees a small white-haired spider jump from his body. -damn it. - passing out.

After some minutes.

-mom look!

-what's it?

-there's a boy lying here.

-we have to help him, quick call your dad.

-Take him to the landlady, I need to check the tree fall.

Being carried to a village.

-Miss, miss, there are some who need your help!

-what happened to him?

-we already think so.

-it looks like it was stung by a jungis. - seeing the sting on your body. -I have to start now or he will die, bring dakneia herbs.

-Yes ma'am! - running.

-let's start. - extending hands over him. -How strange, this boy ...

The woman begins the procedures in Hytori.

Hytori: -That was it, that woman. - going back to the now.

-I see you already woke up. - entering the room.

Hytori: -You saved me?

-Yes, but it was thanks to that family that found you in time. - sitting on a wooden bench. -What were you doing in the middle of the forest?

Hytori: -I was trying to locate a wandering tree and something happened and I ended up on a spider's nest. - rubbing your head.

-you have a deep wound in your mind.

Hytori: -How do you know?

-I am a very powerful healer my dear. - looking at him. - by the way my name was on your mind. - imbuing your hand in a lilac color.

Hytori: -your name?

-Yes, you're here behind me, I don't know why, but that won't go very far. - going against him with your hand trying to hit him

Hytori: -Wait! - deflecting when rolling on the floor. -so you are Madoka?

-wrong answer. - going at him again.

Outside, a noise begins among the natives and draws the healer's attention.

-What is happening? - stopping your attack.

Hytori: -that was close - feeling pain.

-I was quiet, you're still not 100%. - leaving the room. - then come back to talk about it.

Shortly before, the natives arrived at the village with the rest of the Guild exo who are trapped in ropes with an anti-magic effect.

Aysa: Let me go. - with hands tied.

Ezek: -What do you think you are doing? - seeing the spears aimed at them.

-you've been cutting down the trees and now have suffered the consequences that the great leader of the tree MeiMei will say.

Aysa: -It was an accident!

- there are no accidents like that.

Kamero: - "they see knocking down", what do you mean by that?

-you know very well.

Yashina: -I did that, if I have to punish someone, it will be me.

Aysa: -Yashina, no.

-she confessed, take her to the top!

Sarina: -I also helped.

-I knew you were in the middle too.

Yashina: -What are you doing?

Sarina: - Don't even think I'll let you out on top.

- take her too.

Kamero: -Wait, we fell only one tree.

- liars, for weeks they've been setting fire and cutting down our trees.

Ezek: -If they take them, they will have to take us all.

-do you think that intimidates me? - raising his wooden spear. - take everyone!

Aysa: -I don't want to die like that.

-what is the noise? - the healer leaves from inside one of the huts.

Ezek: -this voice ... - looking at her. -Madoka ...

The woman upon hearing that name looks at the dwarf and is surprised by it.

-no.
