Volcanic eruption? ’

Lloyd’s eyes falter.

Literally, it means that a volcano exploded.

No, it means to blow up a volcano.

‘You can’t be serious. ’

If a volcano really explodes, it’s a big disaster.

I wonder if it’s a mind-control skill you can’t even use if you’re distracted.

Lloyd’s gaze was towards the droplet.

“Bubbles?”

“Droplets?”

The droplet raises its head.

A cute face that doesn’t change even if it’s reinforced.

Your black eyes glitter as if you were asking me anything.

Lloyd smiles warmly and asks.

“Hey, you just got a new skill, right? ”

“Droplets!”

“Is that, like, a real volcano eruption thing? ”

“Drops? Drops? Droplets!”

“Well, it’s similar, but different? ”

“Droplets!”

“Can you elaborate on that? ”

“Drop! Drop! ”

“Hmmm, boom and pop? ”

“Droplets!”

The droplet nods a round head.

“ ……. ”

It’s similar and different.

Bang and explode.

There was no way I could have a specific idea what that answer meant.

‘It’s probably best to check for yourself. ’

Lloyd carries three hallucinations in his pocket.

I put my coat back on and went outside the forge.

‘We need to get a little farther. ’

Where there are no people, if possible.

Where you can’t even see a house.

So if there’s a big explosion, it won’t do any harm around it.

‘We don’t know the exact nature of this skill yet. ’

I thought it best to be as careful as possible.

He stopped by and woke Xaviel up.

“Hey, wake up. ”

“Ugh, mmm. ”

“Get up, will you? ”

“Off.”

“Will you open your eyes, Miss Asran? ”

“What kind of sick joke is that? ”

“Ouch. Look at those glittering eyes. ”

“Lloyd made fun of me, so I couldn’t help but open my eyes. ”

“Does that mean you were already awake? ”

“Yes.”

“You pretended you didn’t want to wake up, right? ”

“Yes.”

“Oh, I don’t deny it. ”

“I wanted to stay asleep if I could. ”

Xaviel uncovers his neck and raises an upper body.

Rubbing heavy eyelids.

I guess I woke up reluctantly in a deep sleep.

That’s what Lloyd does when he wakes up sleepy people in the middle of the night.).

I smiled bitterly.

“Well, what can I do? Things like this. ”

“What situation?”

“I need you to protect me for a while. ”

“What do you mean, I have to protect you? ”

Xaviel’s eyes widen, trying to get rid of his sleep.

Lloyd’s bitter smile darkened.

“Volcanic eruptions. ”

“Yes?”

“I need you to protect me from a volcanic eruption. ”

“ ……. ”

“Hey?”

“ ……. ”

“Why are you speechless? ”

“I can be honest with you. ”

“Huh.”

“I’m trying to figure out a way to protect Lloyd from mental illness. ”

“The volcanic eruption is urgent, not psychotic. ”

“My worries are getting fierce. ”

“Hey? Seriously? ”

Lloyd pulls out the bubble.

The droplet that saw Xaviel smiles brightly.

“He’s going to detonate a volcano. ”

“…… Yes? ”

“Is it true, bubble? ”

“Droplets!”

A blob nodding sunny.

Then Xaviel’s eyes became sharp.

“As expected, it was real. ”

“Do you believe in words more than I do? ”

“No bubble, no pod, no whip, at least no lie. very different from anyone who hides himself in black and then cheats and jokes and laughs and revels in evil. ”

“Phew.”

It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen skin, but Xaviel seems to have a deep talent for putting a stone’s eye in the opponent’s eye at 160km/h.

Nevertheless, his attitude was serious and serious.

That’s why it was harder to refute the euphemism.

‘Born, born. ’

Lloyd said with a bitter smile.

“Anyway, it looks like the bubble has learned a new skill. Maybe it’s triggering some kind of volcanic explosion. ”

“Are you testing that new skill? ”

“Well, I didn’t see the power. ”

“I understand.”

Xaviel takes his coat and sword.

So we came out of the inn together.

I walked the streets of the city at night.

From the coast, to the other side and inland.

You made it past the Gateway, avoiding the guard’s eyes, and into the back of the city.

I went into the unpopular forest at night.

Finally, I saw quite a lot of space.

‘This should be a good spot. ’

Lloyd drops the droplet in the middle of the clearing.

The droplet gives out a red sunflower seed.

“Bubbles?”

“Droplets?”

“Our bubble, do you want to have a midnight snack? ”

“Drop?”

“Here, sunflower night snack. ”

“Droplets!”

A drop of sunflower seed’s scent wags its short, chubby tail.

I put sunflower seeds in his little mouth.

And quickly stepped back.

The transformation took place immediately.

Tuang!

The 10-centimeter drop quickly grew to five meters in size.

Lloyd asked.

“Bubbles?”

“Droplets?”

“Can you use your volcano explosion skills any time soon?” ”

“Droplets!”

“Yes, thank you. When I give the signal, it detonates. ”

“Droplets!”

“By the way, volcanic explosion skills. ”

“Droplets?”

“You can’t use that to make this forest disappear, can you? ”

“Drops! Drops! Droplets!”

“What? Depends on the direction you use it? ”

“Droplets!”

“So you can only use it in the direction you want? ”

“Droplets!”

The droplet nods at the enlarged head.

He also showed a stubborn tail that blocked both earholes.

“Droplets. Droplets! ”

“Cover your ears because you hurt your eardrums instead? ”

“Droplets!”

“So I don’t have to stay away? ”

“Droplets!”

The droplet nodded again.

The volcanic eruption seemed to have a slightly different aspect to the literal volcanic eruption.

Lloyd said with a little relief.

“Okay. So if I signal you, you’ll use the volcano explosion over there?” ”

“Droplets!”

The droplet raises its tail as if lifting its thumb.

Lloyd is about 10 meters away from the bubble.

I hid behind Xaviel.

Xaviel draws his sword.

“I’m ready. ”

Perhaps he was swinging his sword at high speed to make the Veil of the Sword.

That’s why you don’t need a shield.

Lloyd felt confident.

I shouted to the droplet.

“Now, bubble? Let’s go!”

“Droplets!”

The humble droplet replied.

In place, I began to eat the soil.

Then I trembled for a moment to digest.

Soon, I shook my tail.

Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle!

The droplet on the tail rings a clear warning sound.

At the same time, I raised my tail as much as I could.

The process so far was the same as the usual skill and steel spillage.

Whereas the next one was so different.

Cough!

“ ……! ”

It really sounds like a volcano is shaking.

At the same time, a ferocious physical phenomenon occurred in the belly and anus of the droplet.

Magma erupted.

It was Magma made of dirt that had been muddied.

As Magma bursts out, she undergoes extreme changes.

Fight!

In the beginning, the belly of the bubble was in an environment of high temperature, high pressure, such that Magma was produced.

Compared to the outside world of the anus (?) was different.

The pressure was much lower than the belly of the droplet.

Temperatures also varied by hundreds of degrees.

That is, the magna ejected out underwent extreme pressure and temperature reduction.

Changes in its environment drastically reduced Magma’s saturatory pressure.

The volatiles that were melting inside Magma fluctuate.

The water boiled.

The carbon dioxide jumped.

Chlorine, fluorine, sulfides, carbon monoxide, etc.

In other words, all the gases vaporized at once and exploded and tore Magma apart.

Kwaaaahhhhhh!

A huge explosion at last.

Magma is in pieces in an instant.

You were torn to shreds in micrometers.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of pieces of volcanic ash.

The process was long, but it actually took less than 0.1 seconds.

Moreover, the explosion did not end in one.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Kuang!

Usually, a lasting fart doesn’t end once.

The volcanic eruption only stopped after it sounded three more times in a row.

“Khh.”

I heard a gasp.

“Ouch. Crazy, crazy. ’

Lloyd slaps both ears with his palms.

I was deaf even though I plugged my earholes.

However, seeing it unfolded before my eyes, my ears were not the problem.

‘All the trees have fallen. ’

Fire over there.) A volcanic eruption.

No matter how powerful the explosion was, the tree in that direction falls like a domino.

The number seemed to be more than about 50.

But Lloyd doesn’t rush straight to you.

There was something to see before the volcanic eruption.

“Hey, you okay? ”

“ ……. ”

“Hey?”

Xaviel with no answer.

I patted him on the shoulder.

Then Xaviel flinches.

You turn around later.

“You wanted to see me?”

“Uh, are you deaf? ”

“I can’t hear what you’re saying. ”

“…… Uh, sorry. I forgot to cover my ears and I didn’t tell you. ”

“Yes?”

“No. You’ll be fine in a minute. ”

“Yes?”

“Is it really dawn? ”

“Yes?”

“… Never mind. Wait a little longer. ”

Boy, you must be very sensitive to the Swordmaster syndrome.

In that state, it seemed that it was due to exposure to the noise without defence.

Lloyd tells Xaviel to wait by hand and then approaches the drop.

“Bubbly? Are you okay? ”

“Droplets!”

“What? Totally cool? ”

“Drops! Drops! ”

“Well, I can’t do it again. Can we do it later? ”

“Droplets!”

You leave a mournful bubble and head for the place where the volcanic eruption was launched.

It was already a grey world.

The ashes still fell like snow in the sky.

The ash that falls like that is grey on the floor.

Seeing grass and flowers and rocks and trees all covered in gray ash like…….

I think it’s covered in volcanic ash. ’

Somehow, my eyes were very tingly.

Lloyd covered his mouth and nose with sleeves.

I kept my eyes as narrow as possible and observed the ground.

Along with a surveying skill.

Tsutz…!

A surveying skill was triggered and gave rise to all sorts of information about the ground he could see.

The slope of the earth is clearly visible.

Rock and soil layers have been identified.

Finally, we are making an indicator…….

This is real volcanic ash, right? ’

Lloyd’s eyes narrow.

He lowers his knee and reaches out without even knowing it.

You touched the grey ash that slightly covered the ground.

A touch of flour was on my fingertips that was nicer than flour.

“It’s true.”

The volcanic ash I wanted to save so badly.

Volcanic ash that will solve the cement problem in a heartbeat if it can be saved.

The volcanic ash is now piled up in front of you.

Plus, I can make this anytime!

My heart was pounding.

“Awesome. Really great. ’

I can’t believe you made me a volcanic ash that will become the main ingredient in cement after steel.

Honey falls from Lloyd’s eyes, looking at the drop like a lump.

♣

The work proceeded in full swing.

All thanks to a new skill, volcanic eruption, strengthening the bubbles.

The day after gaining a new skill, Lloyd heads to the shipyard on the pier.

I bought five large sails for the sailboat.

I sewed the sail with a man.

Five chapters were attached thoroughly.

I made such a long, giant cylindrical diaper.

At one end of the diaper, the fine particles were filtered and five layers of dense bodies were attached to drain only air.

On the other end, he made a hole about a meter in diameter.

The droplet lodges its waist in the hole.

I naturally wore a 30-meter balloon diaper.

In that state, the droplet ate dirt from the central plaza of Cremo City.

I was trembling and digested.

You shake the droplet on your tail.

Twinkle, twinkle!

Signal indicating explosion is ready.

The moment the signal appeared, Lloyd wrapped his hands and feet around his mouth.

I shouted at the spectators gathered around the square.

“Everyone, cover your ears! I lied!”

Kuaaaaang!

The volcanic eruption skill is fierce inside a giant diaper.

A tremendous amount of hot volcanic ash and gas erupted, causing diapers to inflate.

And it was filtered with five layers of sieves prepared on the other side.

The gas slowly slips out of the diaper.

Only filtered volcanic ash remained inside.

Lloyd’s cry continues.

“Bullshit again! ”

Kuaaaaaaang!

A volcanic eruption skill that burns in a row.

At that time, the residents of the trade city cheered for the precious sights.

Traders and sailors passing by opened their eyes to the wind.

Later, not only the city’s guards, but even Earl Cremo himself came out to see the sights.

“Is this what you asked permission to blow something up in the square? ”

“Yes, Earl. ”

“Hmm, I didn’t know you had the ability to summon someone like that. ”

“It’s just a lucky charm. ”

“How? No. Summoning isn’t as easy as it sounds. ”

The Earl’s words were true.

Magical talents were fundamental and required communion with summoners.

‘Besides, they say the rarer the summons, the harder it is to handle. ’

The bubble was the first summoner to see an Earl with a broad insight.

A giant rattlesnake who eats dirt like that and scatters ashes.

Never heard of it, never imagined it.

‘He’s a friend with extraordinary abilities. And so is the young man he’s escorting as an escort knight. ’

Earl suddenly remembered the latest gossip.

Frontera area at the foot of the Eastern Mountains.

There, two talented young men started to lose their name.

‘The eldest son of the lord, who gathered the territory with strange construction abilities,’ he said, ‘and a second-in-command knight at Sword Expert at the age of only 20.’ ’

Lloyd and Xaviel.

The Earl’s gaze was meaningful to both of them.

It was not a feeling of jealousy or greed.

Rather, I was more like a delighted eye.

‘I need to see how this works. ’

I will observe them closely.

We will make sure that the gospel is true.

What if they could get a glimpse of something extraordinary, like a gossip?

‘I will tell you this in detail. ’

It is a clear national loss for such extraordinary talent to be buried in the countryside. Such a talent must spread its will in the great waters that match its capabilities.

That’s how powerful the kingdom will be.

It was overwhelming just thinking about it.

And perhaps today, he thought that he had discovered two such talents.

I felt delighted.

Likewise, whenever Earl Cremo makes a faint smile, Lloyd’s mighty cry echoes through the square.

Every time, the volcanic ashes piled up and gathered.

Lloyd envisioned the construction of marine artificial terrain.

There was a real stage for his ability to be known to all nations.
