Chapter 27 : Deforestation is Illegal

「Uhh… one minute, no, thirty seconds. If only I can distract the Beetolfs for thirty seconds」

「If it’s possible, you will do something?」

「Yes. I have a blunt weapon skill that might work」

While we were speaking, the swarm of Beetolfs got closer and closer.

When I noticed it, the number had increased to five.
It might be impossible to deal with them while protecting Mira-san.

「Ah! That’s right! Mira-san, do you still have zero potion?」

「Un. But what are you going to do with it?」

I hurriedly opened the bottle lid right after Mira-san gave it to me, and then I poured the potion into three tolf mushrooms I got from Mira-san.
After that, I threw them into the swarm of Beetolfs.

They changed their direction from us to the mushrooms and swarmed it.

「I see. Hanna, you’re smart」

Tolf mushrooms can only grow in places with high magical power.
That means, the Beetolfs love things with high magical power.

Zero potion can absorb surroundings’ magical power.
And the tolf mushrooms soaked with zero potion would be a perfect bait to attract the Beetolfs for a moment.

Those giant beetles might be able to feel the flow of magical power, not like me.
But I have wisdom!

Well, first, I have to apologize because…

I will destroy the environment a little!

「Uryaaー!」

I hit the trunk of a big cedar tree that was growing near me with my hammer and felled it splendidly.

「Blunt Weapon Skill :【Timber Conversion】! 」

And I hit the fallen tree to activate the skill.

Then the bark of the tree peeled off, and the tree was turned into hundreds of wooden boards automatically.

I repeated it five times with five big trees, and the result was a large pile of wood.

The essence of blunt weapon skills is to ‘change’ what I hit with a hammer.
If I hit the ground with a hammer, I can change its shape.
If I hit iron with a hammer, I can make weapons and armor.
If I hit the air, I can harden it into transparent stakes or nails.
It sounds like a great skill, but it has a weakness: I have to hit the object with a hammer.

It took me a lot of time than I thought to process multiple objects.
Meanwhile, the Beetolfs were done with the tolf mushrooms I threw, and they rushed toward me again.

「Khh!」

As I thought, I didn’t have enough time.

When I held my hammer and braced myselfー

「Beetle-sanー! Over hereー!」

Mira-san shouted with a loud voice. This was my first time hearing Mira-san make such a loud voice.

And then the Beetolfs turned to Mira-san and rushed toward her.

Of course, it wasn’t because the Beetolfs reacted to Mira-san’s voice.
In Mira-san’s hand, there were tolf mushrooms that seemed to had been soaked with zero potion.

Found a new food, the Beetolfs instinctively rushed toward Mira-san.

Mira-san closed her eyes, bracing herself.
