"Well, now it's time to look for the other participants of this test"
According to what we were told before the test started, four of the contestants were supposed to die, and I found out that one of them did.
And she is the archer elf I saw before the test started, and if no one else has been killed yet, there are only five other contestants alive besides me.
For now, it is better to go to that high mountain that is about 20 kilometers away from me
Because that mountain has a suitable height and you can get an approximate map of the region from its top
And this allows me to narrow down the places I need to look for other participants, for example, I can find out the location of water sources, and almost all living things need water, so they must be in close proximity to water sources. As
"Hella, you go into the system space, it's better that way, because even though your aura is much weaker, you still can't hide it properly and that might make them find us."
Hela puts aside her anger and says in a questioning tone
"Why? Aren't you looking for them yourself? So if they find you, your job will be easier."
Kazuto sighs out of frustration and lightly slaps his forehead and says
"Idiot, if they find us, they have a chance to surprise us"
Hela says with shining eyes, as if she understood something
"Aha, so that's why!!"
Kazuto hits his forehead with his hand and says in frustration
"Right, that's exactly why."
Hela smiles strangely and says
"But I can't do that for you."
Kazuto says with a mixture of surprise and a bit of annoyance
"What do you mean you can't do it?"
Hela claps her hands together and makes a turn and then says in a rather serious tone
"Actually, whenever you told me to go back into the system space, a voice in my head told me that you were transferring to the system space."
Hela pauses and then continues her words
"But this time, that voice just said, the system is not available because it is being updated, and you cannot use the system space"
Aha, so that's why, looks like this system update is going to cause me a lot of trouble
Because if system space can't be used, then I can't use my weapon either, because my weapon is in system space
Just then, a sound like the snapping of small branches came from the tree behind Kazuto's head
Kazuto quickly looked in the direction of the sound, but saw nothing and also felt no energy flow
But Hela could feel something there, an erratic and faint flow of energy that seemed to come from a dying being.
Without waiting for a moment, Hela goes towards that irregular flow of energy with a long and powerful jump
When he jumps there and lands on the tree, a relatively large bird that is completely black quickly leaves from the other side of the tree, but because of the wound on the pillow, it is unable to fly and escape, and therefore on The ground falls
As soon as Kazuto saw this, he quickly ran to the bird that fell to the ground and grabbed it tightly with both hands so that it could not fly away.
When he caught this black bird, he noticed that a weak flow of energy could be felt from the side of this bird, so probably this bird has mana or another type of energy in its body.
But anyway, it didn't matter to Kazuto, because Kazuto needed food to survive this test, so he plans to kill this bird and use it as food.
As Kazuto raises his hand to strike the bird and kill it, the bird suddenly begins to speak.
The bird calls out in a voice that is clearly a combination of fear and haste, and also loudly
"S-Wait, I'm not a bird."
Kazuto's fist remained in the air, and he said in a surprised voice
"What? So what are you?"
The bird took a deep breath
"Well, I'm actually the same vampire that took the test."
Kazuto was surprised to hear this
"But don't vampires turn into bats?"
The bird replied
"No, in fact, each of us turns into different creatures, and only the noble ones turn into bats."
Kazuto took a thoughtful look and said
"Aha, so I guess you're a man, right?"
The bird answered quickly
" Yes that's right."
Kazuto released him and sat next to him and said
"Well, you're very lucky, because if a main character of the Haremsara novel had taken you instead of me, you would have died immediately."
The bird didn't understand what Kazuto meant, but he was happy to let Kazuto live and was grateful to Kazuto.
[Important system message]
[A vampire was spotted near you]
[You can help upgrade the system better and stronger by killing and absorbing that vampire into the system]
Seeing this message as he sat next to the vampire, Kazuto tore out his throat with a quick move and said with a wicked smile
"Unfortunately, I remembered something important."
Kazuto paused and then said
"Actually, I am also a main character in Haremsara novel , but If you were a girl, the system would certainly not send this message."
Hela jumped down from the tree and went near Kazuto
When Hela was on top of the tree, she heard Kazuto's conversations, but she didn't understand anything
Hela asked Kazuto
"What do you mean that you are the main character of a harem novel?"
Kazuto looked at Hela did and said
"Well, it doesn't matter, but surely anyone who doesn't give power to this novel is gay."
