The Tutorial Is Too Hard

Chapter 420 Kirikiri (8)

“It’s blocked!”

cried the little rabbit.

The rabbits were just as curious.

“Amazing!”

What an innocent race.

The High Seeker thought so.

The way back home was blocked, but instead of being anxious, they were curious and amazed.

The entrance to the stairs was blocked by a wall.

It was an empty space where nothing could be seen, but when they put their hand on it, they could feel the transparent and hard wall.

The High Seeker looked at Kirikiri, but Kirikiri didn’t seem to know anything about the wall either.

So did the little rabbits.

[They say they are in the middle of a festival, so maybe it’s preventing outsiders from coming in.]

said the sword.

“No.”

The High Seeker answered.

There is no way the rabbit village will install a transparent wall just because it wants to block outsiders.

Outsiders cannot climb the stairs without the rabbit’s help.

Even the High Seeker tried to climb the stairs alone but gave up and came down.

It was unlikely that other humans would be able to climb the stairs on their own.

Moreover, it did not make sense to leave the young rabbits outside the village and block the entrance.

If it were a human, it would be considered an error that occurred during communication, but it was not a mistake that rabbits could make because they were connected with their minds and could communicate at all times.

[What are you going to do?]

The sword asked.

The High Seeker didn’t answer right away.

He thought he should have climbed straight up when he met the little rabbits earlier.

The High Seeker looked at the little rabbits.

The little rabbits were looking at the stairs blankly, then looking at each other’s faces over and over again.

And having conversations among themselves.

As they talk, they will come to a conclusion.

The High Seeker thought about it.

That wall is not a wall to block out ordinary outsiders.

It would make sense to think this way.

That wall was built to prevent anyone from going up the stairs at will.

The young rabbits were sent out by the adult rabbits.

What should he do?

Is it right to take the little rabbits and wait for the wall to disappear?

Of course, that’s normal behavior.

However, the High Seeker could not stop his desire to climb the stairs and head to that plateau.

From the moment he descended from the throne, his heart was there.

He didn’t even know why.

His own sense pointed to the rabbit village above the plateau.

It’s been like this since he learned that a mysterious rabbit race lived on that plateau.

Now that he was blocked in front of the stairs, that feeling was stronger than ever.

It was whispering that he should go up right away.

The High Seeker met Kirikiri a year ago and on the day he went on a trip, he was blocked in front of these stairs.

It was the same situation now.

But it felt different.

At the time, it was a pity that he couldn’t go up, and it was hard not to know how to do it, but he wasn’t impatient.

But right now, he couldn’t climb right away, so he was impatient and anxious.

“This doesn’t feel good…”

The High Seeker mumbled unconsciously.

Maybe it’s just a matter of feeling.

But lately, the High Seeker has been experiencing a strange phenomenon.

Whenever he felt like something good was going to happen, he was reunited with a friend he had met in his youth when he was wandering the continent.

When he thought something bad was going to happen, he got caught up in an unexpected accident.

[Let’s break it down and go up. That’s not a dimensional distortion barrier of the stairs. It’s just a transparent magic wall. If you want to break it, you can break it.]

said the sword.

“…what do you mean break?”

The High Seeker really had the idea to say yes to the sword, but he refused for a moment.

He can’t break down someone else’s house just because it has a door on it.

Hearing that, the rabbits responded.

“What!?”

“What!?”

They seemed surprised at the radical idea of suddenly breaking the wall.

The High Seeker really tried to explain that he wasn’t talking about breaking down the wall, he was just answering the sword’s words.

But the rabbits shouted with their eyes shining brightly.

“Let’s break it!”

“Can you break it?”

It was a surprisingly enthusiastic response.

The High Seeker was perplexed.

“Break it!”

The young rabbits were violent.

The High Seeker looked at Kirikiri.

Kirikiri did something really unexpected.

She just turned her head and pretended not to notice.

It was a simple idea.

Kirikiri wanted to participate in the festival.

She was blocked by a mysterious and bizarre wall and she didn’t want to blow away her chance to attend the festival.

That doesn’t mean she can agree with breaking the wall, though, so she just pretended not to know.

“Break it!”

“Break it!”

The rabbits were shouting to destroy the wall.

[Break it!]

[Break it!]

A certain god, who likes extremeness as much as rabbits, took part in it.

As a paladin and follower of the faithful god of light, the High Seeker decided to pretend he didn’t hear the truth.

He asked instead, holding Kirikiri as he turned around and watched the scenery of the Blue Mountains.

“How about using the golden sword?”

If he was really going to break through the wall, it is better to use the golden sword that Kirikiri has than to use the power of the High Seeker.

It was much cleaner and quieter.

The golden sword that Kirikiri had pushed away all kinds of magical power.

He was able to test its performance several times during his travels.

The barriers and magic walls the warlock made were also torn apart like tofu.

Neither the priest’s holy magic nor the warlock’s curse was affected.

If they use that sword, they will be able to cut through that transparent wall cleanly.

On the other hand, if the High Seeker tries to break the wall, it will make a very loud roar.

Kirikiri had an unwilling expression.

She secretly wanted the High Seeker to break the door, but she seemed reluctant to go ahead and break the wall herself.

“Ugh. This wall must have been made by adults…”

Kirikiri kept hoping that the High Seeker would break the wall, but the High Seeker did not.

In the end, Kirikiri pulled out the golden sword.

“Hara’s sword!”

“Kirikiri seems to be friendly with the priest.”

“Amazing!”

Seeing the golden sword, the young rabbits made a commotion again.

They were consistent rabbits.

The rabbits liked the golden sword because it was pretty.

Only the God of Light complained that he didn’t like it.

Kirikiri fumbled through the air, looking for the transparent wall.

She thrust the golden sword into the transparent wall and swung it around.

As expected, the transparent wall was cut through without any resistance.

Kirikiri cut the transparent wall and made a hole.

When the transparent wall had been cut, there was no difference on the surface.

But she knew for sure that there was a hole in the wall.

As soon as there was a hole in the wall, a strong energy was pouring out.

It was an ominous and terrible energy.

It was coming up from the rabbit village on the high plateau through the stairs that followed.

“…let’s go up quickly.”

The High Seeker could only say that.

The little rabbits ran up the stairs eagerly on their own.

The High Seeker went up holding hands with Kirikiri.

Unlike when he went up alone, as he went up the stairs, the surrounding landscape changed.

And the ominous energy emanating from the village grew stronger.

[This is bad.]

said the sword.

Yes this was bad.

The High Seeker has experienced all kinds of hell.

He also experienced the underground city that summoned the Great Demon through personal exaltation.

He once invaded the stronghold of the warlocks who created all kinds of plagues.

There were times when tens of thousands of people were killed on the battlefield.

However, the ominousness flowing down from that rabbit village was not like that.

It was beyond the level of ominousness that could be evoked through human corpses and death.

It is the power of a god, not a mortal.

It also has an ominous energy that makes you shiver.

The High Seeker grabbed Kirikiri’s hand and ran forward.

He intercepted the rabbits that were going ahead.

“Guys…….”

The High Seeker thought he shouldn’t send the little rabbits up there.

Never.

He would send the kids down the stairs, and he thinks that only himself and Kirikiri should go up and solve the problem.

He was going to say that.

Before the High Seeker could say anything, the rabbits made eye contact with each other and then suddenly disappeared.

They have crossed the border of the dimension used by rabbits.

“…I can’t catch them either.”

Kirikiri said.

The High Seeker clenched his teeth.

The two started running up the stairs again.

At the end of the stairs, the village began to appear.

They arrived at the lower village where Kirikiri lived.

The village was empty.

They passed the lower village and headed towards the upper village.

A strong smell of blood.

It was full of the smell of blood that had not yet decayed.

It was wet.

The High Seeker soon noticed that the moisture in the air was soaked with blood.

After a long, long uphill road, they finally arrived at the upper village.

At the entrance to the village stood the young rabbits who had gone ahead.

Whatever they saw, sharp claws flew out and grabbed the young rabbits that had been standing idly and carried them away.

The High Seeker, who was still going uphill, tried to stop it somehow.

He was unable to catch the young rabbits in a few moments.

The village the rabbits call the upper village was spread out on a wide plateau.

The plateau that should have been originally green was dyed red.

A monster.

There were no words to express it other than that.

A pair of gigantic eyes gleamed in the haze of blood.

Beast eyes.

Hundreds of long and gigantic arms.

At the end of such an arm, there was a hand that looked strong and plump.

The rabbits were held in each hand.

A strong, gigantic hand was squeezing the rabbits.

Blood was leaking out of the skin.

Unable to withstand the pressure, the body bursts.

Blood gushed out through the ruptured hole.

The rabbit did not die easily.

In a situation where a human should have died suddenly, the children continued to bleed and suffer.

They didn’t even scream.

Even the High Seeker couldn’t help but be taken aback by the silent hell.

He soon remembered that the rabbits were screaming through their minds, not their voices.

Among them, there was only one rabbit that was spewing out words.

Kirikiri recognized the rabbit.

It was the priest Hara, who had sent her out of town.

To the pain that squeezed his body.

He couldn’t speak properly because of the suffocation.

Kirikiri could understand what he was trying to convey.

Why are you back

Run away

A huge hand flew through the mist of blood.

Kirikiri, who had been white, couldn’t even think of avoiding that hand.

The High Seeker hurriedly tried to block it, but a huge hand blew the High Seeker away and grabbed Kirikiri.

It wasn’t the hand.

It was the will of the Tribal God.

The will of a god that held Kirikiri pulled Kirikiri.

Kirikiri met the big eyes of the Tribal God right in front.

The god’s eyes looked at Kirikiri silently.

Yellow eyes.

Black and red pupils.

[Be in more pain.]

God’s will flowed into her mind.

That was the will of the Tribal God.

I gave birth to you.

Now be a part of me again.

Be my food.

The Tribal God, who was looking at Kirikiri like that, then said.

[You are not a rabbit.]
