A small horned rabbit came and lay down in front of me.
"What are you?"
"Kyu! Kyuuuu!"
A small horned rabbit points to its belly with its front paw.
"Eat you?"
"Kyuuu!"
"No, that's not possible."
No matter what, you can't eat the comrades you fought with. The little horned rabbit is drooping because it can't help.
"Are you okay. Fight hard later."
"Kyuuu!"
I sent a small horned rabbit and it brought real food.
'It embodies the entire process from where ingredients are born, to harvest, to becoming food.'
Before I knew it, there was a generous amount of steak, apples, bread, and convenience store juice sitting in front of me.
"And. It's been a long time since I've had convenience store juice. Maybe it's because it's an image world, so you can even bring food from Earth."
I enjoyed the dinner and patted my stomach.
"Good~ I want to sleep now."
"Kyu! Kyu!"
Lia puts my sleeve in her mouth and drags it.
"What is it?"
"Kyuut!"
When I look at the place Lia pointed to, there is a cave dug in the ground.
"Did you dig it?"
"Kyuu!"
"Thank you."
I went into the den with Lia. The den had grass and leaves on the floor and was cozier than I thought.
Lia got down on the floor and I laid her down, using her as a pillow. Before I knew it, horned rabbits swarmed in and covered my body, making me a blanket. It was so warm and cozy that I fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning came.
I woke up, had a quick breakfast, and called the horned rabbits. The horned rabbits line up in front of me and look at me with wide eyes.
"We are going to attack a small village today. Everyone, please work hard."
"Kyuuuuu!!!!"
The horned rabbits respond energetically to my request. I expertly climbed onto Lia's back and gave an order.
"Let's go now!"
After walking along the road for a long time, we soon saw a small village. It is a village where commoners live, with houses made of bricks and logs and surrounded by a low fence.
However, there is no sign of anyone at all, and there are cobwebs and huge spiders hanging everywhere. The spiders notice our advance and climb up the web. There seem to be hundreds of them. Spiders can hang on high webs and attack from below, but horned rabbits have to jump from the ground to attack from above, so we are at a disadvantage.
"It will not be an easy fight because it is fortified with spider webs."
"Kyuuung"
Lia nods her head. When she turns her head back, she sees the horned rabbits getting nervous.
"Once I finish the great magic, charge!"
"Kyuuuu,kyuuu!!"
I lifted Asgralde into the sky and cast a spell that was enough to cover the entire village.
"I confess.
To Asgralde, the mother of all plants.
All living things start from plants and return to plants.
Vegetation grows and lives forever.
Fill that dead land with lush vegetation!"
As the village's ground begins to shake and crack, the spiders scream and cling to their webs to avoid falling.
Suddenly, huge, thick vines sprouted from the street and spread out in all directions before stopping. The village that was full of cobwebs until now is transformed into a jungle made of vines. The spider webs got caught and stuck on the vines, making them useless.
Spiders stand on the vines, confused. Thanks to the vines, a path was formed for the horned rabbits to reach the spiders.
"Charge!!!"
"Kyuuuuu!!!!"
When I shouted, the horned rabbits roared and rushed towards the vines. As the horned rabbits climb up the vines toward the spiders, the spiders move their eight legs to come down.
Spiders and horned rabbits began fighting in close combat from all directions. Spiders attack with sharp claws and fangs, and horned rabbits strike with the horns on their heads.
I also climbed the vines with Lia.
In front of me, a tiger spider the size of a house is waiting for me, nibbling at the ines with her sharp claws. It is the biggest spider here and seems to be the boss of this area.
Kieeeee!!!
As the tiger spider jumped towards me, a huge shadow covered me.
At the same time as Lia was avoiding the spider by jumping, the tiger spider fell on the spot where I was with a loud noise.
The tiger spider turns her body and slams her long paws at Leah.
In a split second, the vine shield I made collided with the tiger spider's front paw, blocking it. Then the tiger spider shot a green liquid from her mouth.
As the green liquid covered the vine shield, the vine shield melted in an instant.
"It's acid poison! It would be dangerous if you got hit! Summon vines!"
Small vines come out from the huge vine and tie the tiger spider's feet.
However, the tiger spider's strength seems to be stronger, and every time it moves its feet, the vines are torn apart. The tiger spider fires acid venom continuously.
Acidic poisons kept coming, but Lia, who is large, is at a disadvantage because she has a high chance of getting hit. Lia is somehow avoiding it by jumping around, but it seems like there will be no end to this.
"Leah! I will stop it, so charge!"
"Kyuu!"
"Vine shield!"
I approached the tiger spider with Lia, pulling out vines from all directions to block the acid venom. I got up on Lia's body, stood on her feet, and centered her.
"Take me to the tiger spider's head!"
"Kyuu!"
As we approach, the tiger spider swings her long legs to her side.
Lia planted her feet on the ground and jumped high to avoid the tiger spider's legs. When Lia reached her high point I jumped towards the tiger spider's head.
The tiger spider swings its huge claws at my stomach.
"Kyuuuuut!"
Just then, another horned rabbit jumped high and bit the tiger spider's leg.
As the tiger spider screams in pain and shakes her legs, the horned rabbit flies away.
I was able to land on the tiger spider's head thanks to the opportunity given by the horned rabbit through its sacrifice.
"It's over now."
I put Asgralde in the tiger spider's eye and cast her spell.
"Summon vines!"
Vines grow from the tiger spider's eyes and shake the inside of the tiger spider's head.
The tiger spider struggled in pain and soon collapsed like a doll with its strings cut, as if even his brain had been destroyed by the vines.
From then on, I went around slaughtering spiders with Lia. Although many horned rabbits died, we were able to annihilate all the spiders in the village and end the battle victorious.
When the battle was over, I came down from the vine and took a breather.
"Ha. Ha. Are there any special rewards in this town?"
"Kyuuu"
"There is a reward?"
"Kyu. Kyuuu. Kyuuu. Kyuu"
"What! Aris is here?!"
"Kyuu."
I thought Aris was trapped in the castle, but I'm really glad she's here. When the giant vines that covered the village were released, the vines turned into smoke and disappeared. The village has returned to its original appearance, but this time it is clean and free of cobwebs and spiders.
As Lia and her horned rabbits started walking towards the center of the village as if they were looking for something, I followed without a word. We arrived at a large wooden building in the center of the village, with 'Village Hall' written on the door.
Lia and the horned rabbits all look at me.
"Do you want me to come in?"
"Kyuuu!"
"I understand."
I opened the door to the village hall with confident steps and went inside. Tables and chairs are rolling around everywhere, and a huge cocoon is hanging in the center. I instinctively realized that Aris was inside that cocoon.
"Vine thorns!"
I blew away the vine thorns and cut the threads that held the cocoon down.
The cocoon falls to the floor. When Asgralde purifies the cocoon, the threads rustle and disappear into smoke.
"Please help me… Please save me… I don't want to die…"
When all the cocoons disappeared, only Aris was left on the floor, curled up like a slug with her eyes closed, trembling and praying.
"Please save someone…"
'This is Aris' fear. How scared Aris must have been, trapped in her cocoon and on the brink of her death.'
"Aris, it's me."
I reached out my hand and touched Aris' shoulder.
Flinch
"Aaaaah! Don't kill! Please save me!"
Aris shrinks and screams louder. She is so panicked right now that she doesn't even recognize me.
I ignored her seizure and walked closer to her.
I kissed Aris' cheek.
"Uh? Please save me?"
Aris' trembling gradually decreases, and her conversation turns into a question.
This time, I lifted Aris' head and placed my lips on her moist lips and gave her a deep kiss.
Aris stops shaking completely, and she sticks out her tongue and rubs and sucks it.
When Aris calmed down enough, I removed my lips.
"Ha. Ha. Ha."
Aris lets out her hot breath and looks up at me with regretful eyes.
"It's Zeon."
"That's right. Were you very scared?"
"Huh. I was so scared. I was trapped in the dark and really thought I was going to die."
"You don't have to worry anymore. Because I will be your courage."
"Thank you."
I held Aris' hand and helped her up. As Aris stood up, she suddenly became confused.
"Uh? This is my village. How are you here? Are you from the future? What happened?"
"Nothing strange. I came to rescue you, and you are now rescued."
"Is that so… Ah! I see!"
Aris simply accepted it.
It may seem like there is no logic, but that's what the world of imagination is like. Just as she accepts dreams as reality while she is dreaming, Aris, the object of the world of images, does not have any questions while she is in this world.
I held Aris' hand and left her village hall.
"Kyu! Kyuuuu! Kyuuw!!!"
Horned rabbits are jumping up and down everywhere and cheering with joy.
"Aaaaah!!! Cute!!!"
Aris looked at her horned rabbits with her bright eyes and admired them. Lia comes closer and rubs her soft hair against Aris' face.
"Kyu~ Kyu~"
"Hehe. You are such a big rabbit. Soft~"
"Aris. This is Lia."
"Does this kid know you?"
"Uh. I came with Lia and her horned rabbits to save you."
"I see. Hehe. It's so good."
Aris woke up after playing with the horned rabbit for a while.
"Zeon. Do you know where this is?"
"The town you lived in?"
"That's right. Would you like to look around together?"
I walked slowly through the streets of the village with Aris.
