Another Frontier Online

After destroying Yamatano Orochi, he climbed Takamagahara and fought against the vermilion sparrows at the top.

Again, Maris angered the Vermilion Bird with Tame, but this was acceptable. I began to do exactly what everyone could do.

The vermilion bird, which is also a huge red bird, must be lowered to the ground first.

At first, a ranged member targeted the wing.

From its appearance, Vermilion Birds are effective in attacking water and ice attributes. Especially if you hit your wings several times with an ice attribute, there is a gimmick that freezes your wings and prevents you from flying for a while.

It was Shimon who was active here.

I used the bow that Hayato had prepared before, and the ice attribute arrows to accurately hit the wings with a skill that could be said to be 100 percent.

And when they fell to the ground, everyone started a ground battle.

Even though it fell on the ground, it was a unity of the Four Holy Beasts. Besides spitting fire out of his mouth, he hit the ground with his feet, and the pillar of fire rose from around him.

Looks like they won't let me win that easily, but we're also fighting with the tension that when this fight is over, it'll be an open-air bath.

Simon was preparing for the next attack without attacking the fallen vermillion.

Hayato approached and gave her an ice arrow to talk to.

I didn't expect to hit all the vermilion wings moving at that speed.

Thanks to the bow that Hayato made for me.

Since there is no hit correction in this virtual reality, it is only the skill of the person who hits it. Hayato nodded, not because of the bow he made.

"It was worth it." It looks like you're taking care of your swords, and your craftsmanship will be exhausted. "

"Hmm. I can't let go of my sword of love anymore." I want to equip all five swords like Lord Cecil. "

Simon smiles when he says that. But I soon got a serious look on my face.

By the way, what kind of person is that Surya?

Um, is there anything that bothers you?

"You seem to be surprisingly good at handling dragons." It was much easier to hit than the last time I fought a Vermilion Bird. Señor Surya and Señor Maris seem to be guiding the vermilion peacock well in the air. "

"Oh, that's right. No matter what kind of benefactor you say, it can only be an ace comparable to Maris in the Tamer Guild." Yeah, yeah, I think I lost to Ivan and the others in the last clan war. "

"What...? Oh, you were the leader of the Tamer Legion, which left up to the Eight Strengths." Then you can convince me of my strength. I felt like I had seen such a strange origin before, but was it because of that? I can't say anything about Lord Cecil either. "

Surya dressed as a white and blue clown with a clown mask on the right half of her face. There is no doubt that it is a somewhat strange outfit in the game.

"In the end, I want to fight Surya and Garland." That said, I'm not a vermillion now. Not enough arrows to refill. Because it's not dangerous, Hayato, stay back. "

Roger that. Good luck with that.

"I'll take care of it, I can't show you the ungodly in front of my lord!"

Immediately after Simon said so, the ice of the vermilion bird's wings melted and hit him on the spot.

However, Simon's fired arrows attacked during the ascent.

When all the arrows were fired, the vermilion froze its wings and fell to the ground before returning to the sky.

Everyone, including Hayato, shouted with admiration.

(Many trustworthy people are very helpful.)

Hayato watches the battle with the vermilion sparrows as he thinks like that.

After that, the vermilion bird melted its wings several times, but it was defeated without ever dancing in the sky again.

That night, the men were all going to take an open-air bath.

The first plan was to show me the screen in the castle, but I had to prepare it for tomorrow or later.

Although it is not a mixed bath, the male and female teams are shifting the time.

It was to avert an unfortunate accident like the last one. The women had already taken a bath and were now playing card games in the room.

The men's bath contains Hayato, Ash, Agress, Pat, and Black Dragon male members.

Last time there were members of the Dark Ten Knights, including Gil, so it felt a little bit hot, but this time it wasn't like that. Hayato was relaxed in the open-air bath.

Everyone had been talking about the future for a while, but Ash and Aggrez started talking about how to strengthen their muscles, and they left the hot tub and exchanged opinions on how to train their muscles.

The members of the Black Dragon listened to it with interest, but Hayato was not very interested, so he was relaxed in the open-air bath.

If you look up, the sky is filled with stars. I enjoyed a situation that I could not experience in reality.

"Nah, I've gotten over it today without a yearly fee." You can't let your uncle do that, can you? "

Pat, who was soaking in the hot tub, said the same thing.

"I don't think he's that old." Pat's attack was accurate. Besides, you chased me on a horse when I was at Stampede. If you can do that, you're still young. "

At the time of the Stampede event, Pat was chasing Noato and Lunaria in a horse-drawn carriage. I had a shootout with Esha, who was also in the carriage.

"There was such a thing." But I'm quite old in my late forties. My health wasn't at full power either. Well, since it's virtual reality, I'm not tired, but when I think about reality, it's frustrating. "

I think that's what Hayato is.

Relic said something similar. When I recall the feeling of reality, I feel that it is reflected in the movement of virtual reality.

"But even if you lose a little bit of your memory, you won't forget the technology that you learned once." I've been practicing for westerns, and I'm still doing very well with my guns. ”

"Oh, that's right. Could it be that the practice of riding horses is also realistic?"

"That's right. Some westerns don't ride horses, but if you're a movie actor, you might ride horses." I've said it quite impossible and let you practice it.

You were able to ride a horse at the time.

Even today, there are many animals in the colony "Zu".

However, there are no horses that are fully controlled and treated as horseback riders. It's just for the sake of preserving the seeds.

In part, it is possible to keep breeding animals, but there is no doubt that they are rare and cannot even be kept without a lot of money.

"There were few horses I could give a ride with." That said, it was quite tightly controlled at the time, so I had to pay a lot of money. Well, Surya-chan taught me a lot, so I wonder if it was worth more than the price. "

Huh? Surya-san?

"... ah, I can't. Shouldn't I say this...?"

"Um, is that...?"

"Ah, could you hold on a second... Ditte-chan, can I have a minute?" Yeah, yeah, I'm opening up a chat line with Hayato. "

As soon as it arrived, an audio message from Diete arrived at Hayato.

“What's wrong? Men are in the open now, aren't they? I'm an AI, but I'm a woman, so I'm a little pale."

"I'm sorry, I didn't think about it." But I was wondering if you could listen to me. Actually, I slipped my mouth and told Hayato that I had met Surya in real life. Is this bad? "

"Oh, is that so?" Well, I don't care if it's Mr. Hayato. I don't misuse it when I know it. "

Diete, you trust Hayato-chan, don't you?

"I'm starting to trust you, Pat. I'm starting to trust you, Ash."

"Thank you, but what about Hayato?" I got permission, but do you want to hear more? "

For the NPCs, the real story is private. Besides, there is a past where people fled from reality to virtual reality in despair of the situation at the time, so if possible, it is something they do not want to recall.

Hayato thought it was tempting to hear the real story from someone other than himself, but he thought it should be asked in case something happened from his previous experience.

“Can you tell me?”

Pat nodded and opened his mouth.

"Surya belonged to a group that protected animals from extinction at the time." That's where I practiced riding with my horses under control. Most of the movies at the time were CGs, but some of them used real animals, so I used them as handouts. ”

“An organization that protects animals from extinction?”

This is certainly true in the days of Hayato. That's the colony "Zoo" managed by the Sagittarius Foundation.

"Rather than at the time, the extinction of animals was remarkable long ago, so it was an organization that was trying hard to leave a little more animals behind. It looks like the sled didn't go with the other organization."

"Another organization?"

"An organization that protects animals in the same way. However, it seems that the policy was different. I don't know the details.

Hayato came up with something about the organization.

It wasn't the organization itself, it was the people who belonged to it.

If it was different, Ditte-chan, could it be that you belonged to an organization that didn't fit the sled?

"That's pretty sharp. That's right, Mr. Hayato." Your organization had you, Maris. "

Pat was surprised by the words, but so was Hayato, who had spoken them.

"Shall we talk briefly?" Both organizations had the idea of protecting animals from extinction, but their policies were different and incompatible. But what we have in common is the difficulty of funding. So by paying a lot of money to that organization, you called them into this virtual reality. As I have said many times, I was-- "

"No, I know, so it's okay." But, I see, that's what happened. "

Marius and Surya's persistence must have been there. I don't know the difference in policy, but Hayato thought it might be similar to the way we think about pets today.

There are parts of it that are not satisfactory.

If you had entered a virtual space to protect animals, you wouldn't have left Earth in a spaceship.

"Maris and Surya stayed on the spaceship, didn't they?" Was it a deal to get out of the spaceship and get the money back? "

"I won't tell you to give me my money back." That's another reason why we escaped together on a spaceship. ”

"Another reason...?"

"I'll tell you what I can trust you two." I can tell you if I can trust you, but I don't think you should know anything extra, so I don't want you to tell me too much. By the way, Nay, I've been telling you a story. "

Hayato and Pat look at each other and tell them that they understand.

“I told Hayato before that the spaceship Aphrodite is Noah's Ark.”

With those words alone, Hayato somehow understood the circumstances.

When I heard about it before, I was able to regenerate it by storing plants as data to cure mist diseases.

It is possible to regenerate animals from genetic information, but if this was a hundred years ago, it is easier to talk about it.

“So there are animals on board the spaceship?”

“That's right, I'd say there's real people, not just genetic information, as in the case of plants. Of course, some animals have only data. Originally, this virtual reality was created to start afresh on a recovered planet. That's why there's an area where animals go to cold sleep. Marius, you left the kids here with a lot of concern."

"Then what's the memory...?"

"No, I have no memory of reality." The two of us stayed behind just in case something went wrong, but if the animals are safe, we don't have a problem. It is only a story of re-starting or returning memories in an emergency. They were good veterinarians and researchers. "

"That's right..."

"However, I don't have the role of starting over anymore, so I think I'll leave the animals to the foundation." Now I'm getting a lot of roots from Nae-kun. Then there are Maris-kun and Surya-kun. I'm worried about what's going on. "

The two of them remained in this virtual space for the animals. If animals were to be protected elsewhere, there is no reason for them to remain in virtual reality in the first place. You're probably worried about whether you should regain your memory.

Hayato and Pat both have difficult faces.

I don't see it, but Daté must have sensed something. “Never mind,” I said.

"It's not like Hayato-kun or Pat-kun is bothered." This is about thinking about what I will do. Besides, Nai-kun was very cooperative and said, "I need to do something as an investor! 'He told me. We'll do our best here, so you two don't have to worry about this virtual reality."

Don't worry about it, but I'm more concerned than I know. However, even though I'm not asking for your help, it's a little too much to ask. It is right that there is nothing that can be done about it.

Hayato just said, "I'll help you if you need anything," and then Diete said, "Please don't do that," and cut the voice chat.

Then Pat bowed his head in apologies.

“I'm sorry, I said something extra.”

"No, no, don't worry about it. I don't think it's a bad thing to share your troubles with Data. If something goes wrong, I think I'll get it done soon.”

Pat smiled with a slight surprise.

"It would be great if you could say that." My uncle will cooperate as much as he can, so if anything happens, just let me know. "

"Yes, please... now, will you come out?"

"I don't blindfold you, but it's about time." Now, let's have some fun playing card games with the girls, as Ditte said! Uncle, I'm getting a little excited! "

"Aggres used to say that, but that's an act...?"

Well, what do you say?

Pat said that and got out of the bath.

I don't know if I said it on purpose to change the strange atmosphere, or if it was vegetarian, but Hayato followed suit and called out to Ash and the others before going to the dressing room.
