Staring at him with such sharp eyes, the orange warrior couldn't help swallowing and subconsciously assumed a fighting stance.

"What's up? Wanna fight?"

"Humph."

Standing at a position not too far away, Qu Wen Jie Dou put down his spear and canceled his transformation, then began to look around.

Seeing this, Kousaka Honoka also breathed a sigh of relief and canceled her transformation.

After calming down, she suddenly felt a little angry at Qu Wen Jie Dou's recklessness.

"What on earth are you trying to do? The aliens here are very aggressive!"

"here?"

His attention drawn to Kousaka Honoka's words, Kaito turned his head again.

"Do you know where this place is?"

"Well, it's not too clear."

Kousaka Honoka's anger came and went quickly, and when she was asked so seriously, she immediately shifted her attention to the problem.

"I came here once by chance before, and I got my lock seed here."

"Got the lock?"

His eyes subconsciously looked at the orange lock hanging on Kousaka Honoka's waist. This was perhaps the most interesting time that Qiwen Jiedou was in what this woman said.

"That's right. The plants here will produce a very strange shaped fruit, which will turn into a lock seed when you hold it in your hand."

"Becoming a lock..."

He whispered to himself, with a strange light in Qu Wen Jie Dou's eyes.

Since Lock Seed is a technology monopolized by Yggdrasil, all Rhythm Knights including him had to spend a huge price to purchase Lock Seed from them. But if what Kousaka Honoka said was true, then the situation would be different.

——It’s worth verifying.

Having made up his mind, Qiwen Jiedou retracted the Rose Attacker and took a step in a certain direction.

However, for Honoka Kousaka, this self-willed behavior was a little confusing.

"Hey, where are you going? If you want to go back, you should walk back, right?"

"There's no use going back. The entrance has disappeared."

Kousaka Honoka didn't notice it at the time because of the siege of foreigners, but the vigilant Kaito turned back immediately to confirm that the two people who led them to the crack of the forest had disappeared.

"Is this true? Then how are we going to get back?"

Upon hearing this, Kousaka Honoka was extremely anxious. She and Minami Kotori had left through the crack that existed from the beginning, and had no idea of ​​any other way to leave.

“The key to getting back should be on the motorcycle.”

Seeing her anxious look, in exchange for the other party telling him the information about his lock species, Qi Wen Jie Dou didn't mind telling her his guess about the entry and exit of this place.

"motorcycle?"

After he reminded her, Kousaka Honoka immediately remembered the strange thing on the motorcycle before.

"As long as the speed of the motorcycle exceeds a certain critical value, we can enter and exit this place."

After finishing his words, Qiwen Jiedou did not stay any longer and walked out without paying any attention to Kousaka Honoka who was still thinking.

"Huh? Where are you going?"

“Stopping here is no waste of time.”

Glancing back at Kousaka Honoka, Kaito Kimon said coldly.

"Since this forest seems to have the potential to make me stronger, there is no reason not to explore it."

"It's too dangerous to wander around alone!"

Faced with the girl's worry, the young man did not pause at all.

"What does it have to do with me, or are you afraid of being alone? Humph, as long as you don't get in my way, it's okay if you want to follow me."

"what!?"

Kousaka Honoka's face was about to swell up like a balloon with anger. She really didn't want to see this stinky man who took her kindness for granted again for even a second.

"Damn bastard, I don't care about you!"

She turned her head angrily and walked in the opposite direction.

"Okay, then I'll go look for Umi too!"

……

The two people, who could be said to be incompatible, parted ways like this.

After leaving Kousaka Honoka who was in the way, Kaito Kimon quickly found a tree with the fruit that the former had mentioned.

"Is this it?"

He tried to pick one, and just as Kousaka Honoka said, the fruit turned into a melon seed in his hand in the blink of an eye.

"roar~"

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Qu Wen Jie Dou looked up and looked around. Although it cannot be said that every tree here bears fruit, there are still many that catch the eye.

“It’s a great harvest.”

As he spoke, Qu Wen Jie Dou raised his hand and started picking again. After grabbing several melon seeds and pine cones in succession, he finally found a lock seed that caught his eye.

Looking at the tropical fruits with a gradient of red and yellow on it, Qu Wen Jie Dou remembered the information he saw in Sid's product catalog. This was undoubtedly the highest-grade A-level lock currently available.

"Mango No. 11? This one is pretty good."

He casually threw those low-level locks to the ground, and continued his search with a smile on his face.

Of course, he who thought he was lucky enough to draw something good would never know that in fact, Kousaka Honoka easily grabbed two A-level locks, and even for a long time in the future, he always thought that low-level locks were rare in Helheim. 】

FAFA0: That's so pitiful. Speaking of which, the same thing happened with the Sengoku Driver. Kaito spent a lot of money to buy the Driver, but Honoka Kousaka just picked it up directly.

UMR: That drop rate is really high.jpg

Starburst Abandoned Treatment: The gap between the rich and the poor is obvious, it's too real.

Chaos Evil Gudako: So, all card draws are based on the defense! This is especially true for those without a guaranteed minimum!

Paramecium: Really? I think card drawing is pretty good, right?

[ ]: Brother, your words are so hurtful.

Shenzhou Tablet: Lies don’t hurt people, only the truth does.

Trail Blazers: Damn you, my stick is thirsty!

God is the master of fighting against demons: Oh, eat the spear!

[While Kaito was frantically drawing cards, Kousaka Honoka also discovered a new anomaly.

It turned out that they were not the only two humans here. Under a waterfall, she saw several tightly wrapped figures collecting the fruits.

They put the fruits into special containers one by one with ease, and it was obvious that they were very familiar with this place. This made Kousaka Honoka happy. Since they were very familiar with this place, it was very likely that they had seen Sonoda Umi.

"that?"

But what Kousaka Honoka didn't expect was that when she just spoke a little, those people scattered like frightened birds, with no intention of communicating with her at all.

"Wait a minute! I mean no harm! I'm not a suspicious person!"

Honoka Kousaka wanted to chase after him, but a gunshot scared her and she stopped where she was.

Looking at the smoking bullet hole at her feet, she turned back in horror. Behind a big tree, an armored knight she had never seen before was watching her silently. The raised unparalleled saber in his hand proved that the person who fired the shot was the other party.

"Hey! This is too dangerous!"

Kousaka Honoka almost shouted out in fear.

However, the White Knight ignored her and put the sword back into her waist. She took out an acorn lock from behind her, unlocked it, and threw it at Honoka Kousaka's feet.

"?"

He was stunned by this mysterious operation and thought that the other party was giving him the lock seed as an apology, but he found that an alien was attracted by the energy emitted by the lock seed, and it pounced on him and swallowed the lock seed into its stomach.

"Roar--"

With the power of B-level lock species, the primary alien emerged from its cocoon and evolved into a deer alien that had once fought with Kousaka Honoka, and then turned its attention to Kousaka Honoka, who was closest to it.

At this point, it was clear to Honoka Kousaka what the other party meant.

This knight had no intention of negotiating peacefully with him, but appeared in front of him with strong malice, which was even worse than the battle maniac Qiwen Jiedou.

"Transform!"

There was no other way, Honoka Kousaka could only transform and fight. Having had experience in battle once before, she chose Pineapple Lock.

Under the violent swing of the pineapple steel hammer, the Deer Alien's horns on his head were broken again, and he was then tied up with the chains of the meteor hammer.

"Soiya! Pine Au Lait!"

The unparalleled saber was unsheathed, and taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was unable to move, Kousaka Honoka swiftly slashed out several times with the sword, cutting the opponent in half.

"call……"

The battle ended quickly, and the orange-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to question the white knight who was watching the fight, but the following slash scared her so much that she trembled all over. If she hadn't subconsciously raised her sword to block, the blow would have gone straight back to her shoulder and split her in half.

And even if she blocked it, the sword's power, which surpassed her own, still made her arms that were supporting the blade tremble continuously.

With a cold sweat on her back, Kousaka Honoka felt the strongest murderous intent so far from the person in front of her, even more powerful than that of Qiwen Kaito, with whom she had just fought.

"Hey! Wait!"

"What's wrong? Is this the limit?"

A low voice so suppressed that it was difficult to distinguish between a man and a woman came from under the opponent's mask. The white knight twisted his wrist and changed from a chop to a slash, directly picking up the opponent's unparalleled saber, and then slashed with two swords at a speed so fast that Honoka Kousaka could not react at all, creating sparks on her breastplate.

"Well!"

The piercing pain caused Kousaka Honoka's weapon to drop from her hand and she retreated repeatedly, but the White Knight also stepped forward and swung his sword again to pursue her.

--too strong!

Honoka Kousaka had practiced kendo before and even won a kendo competition, but this was nothing in front of this white knight. They were on a completely different level.
