Chapter 48 – Glass' World and Meeting Kizuna

Author's Note: We're finally in Glass' World!

"Satoshi! It's you! Have you seen Indigo, Raphtalia and Filo?"

"I haven't. I just got out of there. How long have you been out here?"

"I just got out here as well. What should we do now?"

"Hold that thought. What level are you?"

"I'm level 1. What about you?"

"Same. About what we should do, I think we should head to the fields to grind some levels. We'll die otherwise."

"Agreed."

We headed for the field.

It wasn't long before we encountered an entirely foreign creature. Luckily, all the status boosts and special functions I'd earned by unlocking all my previous bows were still in effect, same with Naofumi, so we were more powerful than your average level 1. Especially the bow's power up method, which was extremely useful for lower leveled people to hold their own against mid-level monsters.

With an almost ungodly reaction time, something I had trained tirelessly in ever since I had gotten here, I aimed my bow at the monster in a fraction of a second and let the bowstring fly.

BLAM!

Right before the thing was blasted into smithereens, its name appeared in my field of vision.

White Box.

The thing was about the size of my head. As its name implied, it was white and square and quite like a cardboard box. It was nearly a perfect parallel to the balloon of the world I was summoned in in terms of the ease of defeating it and its attack power.

"Oi, Rishia." I asked. "Have you seen this before?"

"Fueeeeee? No, this is the first time I've seen of or heard about a creature like this."

As the three of us continued wandering around, searching for Raphtalia, Filo and Glass' group, we encountered many alien objects. There were new medicinal herbs that Naofumi and I took keen interest in, my reason being mainly economic, and tons of new creatures were also appearing all over the place.

The monsters here also gave more experience than usual, since I had nearly reached level 20 by the end of the day, with Rishia being level 17 and Naofumi being level 2 due to his inability to gain EXP by himself. We split up and traversed different parts of the island to avoid the hero interference phenomenon. We made sure to break down all the monsters we killed, myself switching to the crossbow when I unlocked it to not obliterate the monsters, and we scoured each dead corpse for all the materials and drop items we could get out of them.

A few of my bows were now unlocked, but the guns were still a bit out of reach. The closest gun that I could unlock would probably be a Melromarc musket or an Arcian pistol.

Eventually, we met up with Naofumi at our original meeting spot.

"Huff...Puff...I'm getting tired." Rishia whined.

"Naofumi, now that we're reunited, let's take a break."

"Very well."

Good thing I was carrying a massive rucksack that I had brought along with me for the Kyo fight, though I had set it aside during the entire sequence, or not we would be starving. I had plenty of water, rations and other necessary equipment.

I threw Naofumi and Rishia a pack of jerky each, and a canteen of water.

"Let's eat first, but then we should follow the river and raft across it and set up a camp over there. I do have a tent in my backpack, but that'll only fit one person. We could create a makeshift shelter out of sticks and leaves."
