“Piyo…” (Big……). (Cockatrice)

“Piyopi.” (The volume is incredible.) (Cockatrice)

“Piyopii.” (It feels like we could squish it forever.) (Cockatrice)

Even the Cockatrice fluttered its wings.

“Oh, they are coming one after another.” (Adventurer)

As the adventurer in his thirties said, from the darkness appeared Puzzle Mushrooms, massive shimeji mushrooms emerging in droves. They swayed their large caps from side to side as they walked with a soft, squishy rhythm. The colors of their caps were blue, yellow, green, and red. This too was just like in the game.

“If it is the same as the underground plaza on the other side, there should be another passage ahead. Perhaps they are coming from there, degozaru.” (Hattori)

“Hmm, that seems likely.” (Elt)

As I replied, I drew upon more of my memories from my previous life. The size of the Puzzle Mushrooms was the same as in the game. Their gimmicks were troublesome, but their base attributes were quite low. Excluding the poison, the Flower Archer was far more powerful. In truth, for now the Puzzle Mushrooms were only slowly approaching.

*Squish, squish*

These creatures had no ranged means of attack other than self-detonation. When they received some form of attack, they would enter an explosive state.

“It will be impossible to advance further without eliminating them. What shall we do?” (Adventurer)

“Wood, can you handle it?” (Elt)

“Ugo, I can handle it.” (Wood)

What was necessary to defeat the Puzzle Mushrooms was not a bat. If anything, it was a sense for throwing.

“The potions are ready.” (Anaria)

“The retreat path is secured, mogu.” (Iskamina)

The voices of Anaria and Iskamina reached us. Such rear support was most welcome.

“Alright, let us go.” (Elt)

“Ugo.” (Wood)

As planned in advance, Wood dashed forward. At the same time, I activated my magic.

[Great Tree Arm]

A wooden arm extended from the ground and swiftly grasped the leading blue Puzzle Mushroom.

“△○✕ー!” (Puzzle Mushroom)

The Puzzle Mushroom flailed about, but with its strength it could not shake free from the arm of the great tree.

“Ugo, there is another blue one here.” (Wood)

“Good, I will throw it.” (Elt)

Throw it.

Rather, when two Puzzle Mushrooms of the same cap color collided, they could be neutralized. According to research in this world, it seemed that mana of the same quality overflowed and interfered with itself. Wood restrained the blue Puzzle Mushroom before him so that it could not escape.

*Plop*

I manipulated the [Great Tree Arm] and threw the other Puzzle Mushroom toward it.

*Squish*

“○△✕ー!” (Puzzle Mushroom)

“✕○△ー!” (Puzzle Mushroom)

When the two blue Puzzle Mushrooms collided, a flash of light burst forth. It was the surge of mana. The Puzzle Mushrooms that collided then wilted and collapsed onto the ground.

The first pair. This was how we neutralized them by making those of the same color collide. Yes, the first pair was easy to deal with. However, the problem began from here.

“They are coming.” (Adventurer)

With the adventurer in his thirties’ words, the atmosphere tightened. Having witnessed their comrades fall, the remaining Puzzle Mushrooms began to tremble and move violently.

“○✕○△ー!!” (Puzzle Mushrooms)

When Puzzle Mushrooms saw nearby allies defeated, their behavior patterns completely changed. They would actively seek contact with those of different colors to trigger explosions.

“Let us go, speed is the key.” (Hattori)

Hattori and the others dashed forward all at once.

“Ugo, Ugo, the yellow ones, there.” (Wood)

Wood lifted a yellow Puzzle Mushroom and hurled it against another of the same color. At this point, it became chaotic combat. The Puzzle Mushrooms possessed strength equivalent to that of an adult human, making grappling and moving them difficult.

“With four or more colors, five blinks and they blow. Archers, target those that look ready to explode. Close combat team, focus your attacks on their legs to halt their movement.” (Adventurer)

The adventurer in his thirties’ commands rang out. Only my magic and Wood could throw the Puzzle Mushrooms. We could make those of the same color collide over our heads.

“Ugo.” (Wood)

Once again, Wood threw a red Puzzle Mushroom and caused a collision.

Hmm, his throwing sense is quite refined.

Although the Puzzle Mushrooms were large shimeji mushrooms and seemed hollow and light, his arm strength was considerable.

“I cannot afford to fall behind either.” (Elt)

I manipulated the [Great Tree Arm] to divide them or throw them at each other.

The Cockatrice was chirping softly.

The light depended on the Cockatrice’s shining feathers, and its illumination alone was sufficient.

“Piyoyo?” (What shall we do?) (Cockatrice)

“Piyopiyo.” (It seems we should make the ones of the same color collide.) (Cockatrice)

“Piyo, piyopiyo!?” (Could it be that he intends to let us eat these mushrooms!?) (Cockatrice)

Hmm?

The Cockatrice appeared to have realized something.

“Piyoyo.” (He will let us squish them.) (Cockatrice)

“Piyoyoo.” (We cannot stay idle.) (Cockatrice)

Ah.

For some reason, the Cockatrice became excited and charged toward the Puzzle Mushrooms.

“Wait, wait.” (Anaria)

Anaria shouted, but it was already too late. From daily village life, we knew that an adult Cockatrice’s strength was extraordinary. It rushed straight into the group of Puzzle Mushrooms, and then it happened.

One of the fierce Cockatrices lifted a green Puzzle Mushroom effortlessly with its wings.

“Piyoo.” (Lift it up.) (Cockatrice)

“Piyoyott.” (Here.) (Cockatrice)

Another Cockatrice also lifted a green Puzzle Mushroom. They indeed possessed immense power.

“Piyoo.” (Soi.) (Cockatrices)

The Cockatrices threw the Puzzle Mushrooms simultaneously, making them collide in midair. In that instant, a flash of light burst forth, and as they fell to the ground, they wilted and ceased moving.

“Amazing. They truly have strength.” (Adventurer)

“Yes, at this rate we can continue onward.” (Elt)

The number of Puzzle Mushrooms emerging from the darkness was decreasing.

If we could withstand the first wave, we would surely find the next passage.
