As the Japanese government discovers a mysterious artifact with 4 hidden worlds in it, they send a criminal, anti-social hacker against his will with an additional operation team into the worlds to obtain the 4 keys to decrypt the artifact. Discove...
In the meantime we had arrived at the native camp. The savages no longer dared to attack us, no, they even honored us (especially Don'yoku, however) and gave us provisions and weapons that were better than our self-made ones. It turned out that Don'yoku was now fully connected to the artifact and therefore understood everything in this world.
At the moment we were sitting at a round wooden table.
Mukanshin spread the map in front of us.

"According to the map, we are now to the left of the Devil's Horns in the native camp. Between the camp and the Horns is the Swamp Gorge, we have to go through it. The possible places where the key could be hidden are, as already mentioned, the Devil's Horns, the Lonely Tree there under the Horns and the Moon Mountain at the top. We will make stops in the Forest Temple and at the Stone Circle, as they were the only places that our scanner could additionally register, but there are certainly many more. We have to be prepared to be attacked by creatures at any time, but at least we have half-good weapons now," he explained as he pointed out to the different parts.
"How much food do we have?" Chariti asked.
"Enough for 4 days, but we will only need about 2, with stops in between maybe 3," Shōkyū answered.
"I don't want to work with this Don'yoku!" a soldier with the number A-9 suddenly complained. "He's not normal!"
Don'yoku, who had actually spoken to the chief savage before, stepped into the room.
The soldier froze. "Don't forget that without me you would all be dead long ago!" Don'yoku pointed out with an expressionless face.
"I'm sorry," he mumbled a little scared.
"Well, we are all probably very surprised by the sudden appearance of Don'yoku's powers and the devastating effect that nobody expected," Boryōku defended his man. "But we need every help we can get"
"Yes, sir," a few soldiers muttered.
All of a sudden the tough guys are the wimps, aren't they?, I thought mockingly.
"How many weapons do we have," I changed the subject.
Aima replied since she had already checked this. "We are a total of 7 hackers and 19 soldiers, if we add Boryōku. We have 30 spears, 30 bows with 36 arrows each in quivers, 15 axes and 20 knives. All equip themselves with at least one spear and one bow, that leaves 4 Spears and bows, 144 arrows. The axes and knives are freely available "
"It's already getting dark, we should rest. Tomorrow we will cross the swamp gorge and check the first possible hiding place for the key," Shokyu said.
Slowly the soldiers and the rest of the group withdrew to their huts that the savages had vacated for us.

Niretsu chuckled. Everything went exactly as he had imagined. Niretsu had many names, but that was what everyone, who knew about him, called him. Well, actually nobody knew about him.
Tomorrow they would go to the Devil's Horns. There would be a disturbing awakening for the group there. He estimated that around 15 soldiers and 1 team member would lose their lives.
At the moment Niretsu was standing in front of his group's provisions store. He grinned maliciously.
