Another Frontier Online

"Please help me reclaim the castle occupied by the white tiger..."

The princess of the eastern kingdom, Benitzur, bowed her head to everyone and said so.

Last night, the white tiger flew out of the screen and attacked the Hayato and those in the castle, but because it prioritized retreat, it was possible to escape the castle without anyone being defeated. Benituru and Shimon stood up and let everyone get away.

Even if I was defeated, I could resurrect in the castle, but I was right to run away because I would be defeated by the white tiger forever. The white tiger didn't seem to come out of the castle, and it was safe outside, but it wasn't a problem to wander around without going back to the screen.

Yesterday, Benituru and the others stayed in the mansion rented by Hayato and the others. It took me a long time to get all the people out of the castle, so I came back to the Mansion pretty late. Hayato was too attached to it, so she felt like she wasn't sleeping well.

And in the morning, when Hayato logged in, Benituru and Simon explained the situation to everyone and asked for the castle to be recaptured.

"I'm sorry, I've got another problem." even though everyone is here after all..... "

Simon bowed his head in apology, just like Benitzur. I was about to slash my stomach.

"Um, um, it was my fault that the white tiger appeared." Benny and the others aren't so bad- "

"Master, I don't think anyone is to blame." Rather, Cecil and Maris are delighted. "

And Esha said unto him, Hayat seeth all.

"As usual, Hayato has it!" You don't have to be bored! "

"That's right. Besides, the Four Holy Beasts were originally planned to be defeated." You're full of motivation. Ah, please let me do Taim! "

Cecil and Maris are motivated. I guess it's the idea that there's nothing wrong with it.

Everyone else felt similar, but only Lunaria had a difficult face with her arms together.

"Le, is Luna chi angry?" I-I 'm sorry...? "

Horrified, Benituru nodded, “I'm angry.”

“Go home and play, I think it's better for me to be my best friend. Yet Mr. Hayato went first. And in the middle of the night, it was full of excitement. Benny and Mr. Hayato reflect deeper than the ocean."

"I didn't go to play--"

“No need. I didn't go to play, but I did go home. At least I wanted you to invite me. I promised Benny I'd form an alliance when I conquered the world."

"Don't form such an alliance." Rosalie-san will be mad at you again, won't she? "

Before, Lunaria was angry with the Rosary and the Gills in an attempt to conquer the world. It's so much like being put under house arrest in a room.

Hayato's words focused his gaze on Rosalier.

Without timidity, Rosalier graciously sips a sip of tea before opening his mouth.

If there's a chance of winning, I'll do it.

"It was the first time I saw you in the Demon King Army..."

"Hmm, it shines."

Lunaria said that and then looked towards Benitzur.

"That's why, let's recapture the castle first." Work hard as a king of allies. By the way, I'm your friend when you go to Benny's room. Have them entertain you intensely. I will also get a souvenir. I'll say I like hot spring buns. "

Listening to Lunaria's words, Benitzur's eyes were moistened and moved.

"Uuu, Luna-chi, you're my best friend...!"

"That's the best demon king." All right, everybody get ready. Such a white tiger... what is it? Do you know anything about Maris? The tiger's weakness. The only weakness I know is the heart. ”

When she was swayed, Marie began to think "hmm" with her arms crossed, but she immediately noticed something.

Since you're a cat monster, Cat Tabby might get excited and increase his attack power, so what if he's a cat?

"Then, Mr. Hayato, prepare a cat mess. Five stars."

"Huh...?"

I have an item called a cat. If you're a cat pet tamer, you're guaranteed to get one. When I use it on a cat, my training skills increase to about 10.

The screen itself was about two meters high and two meters wide, but the white tiger that appeared was about five meters long. Hayato wonders if such a tiger would work as a cat.

"I'm messing with cats... Master, let's make it." This will help me and Zeke get along. "

Are you lost in purpose?

"Life is always lost."

I don't want to get weird when I'm sleeping short.

Hayato thought about it, cutting off the conversation with Esha. Whether or not to make a cat mess.

After I had a little trouble, I decided to make it because it was not a lot of trouble. However, Hayato would like the White Tiger to descend from the Holy Beast if this would give him an advantageous battle.

Now that he had decided to do it, Hayato went back to his room to make a cat bugger, and everyone started preparing to recapture the castle.

Hayato-kun, can I have a moment?

When Hayato was making cat jokes, Diete came to the room.

"Never mind, I had something to say to Ditte too."

"Is that so?" Then I'll ask you first. "

"I was hoping you could tell me about the screen. I can't believe the white tiger comes out of the screen at night."

"I thought the spoiler might be good." Besides, the castle should have literature that says it's dangerous to look at that screen at night. "

Could it be that Benny knew about this?

"I don't know. The castle has a lot of books, so maybe you've never read them."

(I wonder if it is better to read the literature from one end. There are many other problems that may arise.)

Hayato thought so, but for now, he said what he wanted to say, so he prompted him to listen to Daté next.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"Surya is a bit about you." I wanted to be careful when fighting white tigers.

Hayato was surprised to hear Dete say that with a serious face, and stopped making cat fools.

I was told to prepare a cushion and sit down, and then Hayato sat down. Hayato sits on the cushion like a hoe, and Diete sits squarely on the seat.

Seriously, but what do you mean?

"I was inadvertently surprised, but Surya and Tiger have a connection." Of course we're talking about reality. I think it's okay, but I thought I'd share some information in case something happened. ”

"Karma... can you teach me more specifically?"

"Surya has been attacked by tigers in reality." I don't think you'll remember that in the fight against the White Tiger, but I'd like you to be careful. I'm sorry about that, but I want you to help Surya. Um, I'm always sorry... "

Daté's words gradually diminish as he becomes more and more depressed. The last one is really a mosquito-like voice.

"Don't worry, I'll help you, even if you don't tell me."

"But I always put a burden on Hayato-kun..."

"It's not a burden." On the contrary, I'm glad you didn't tell me when something happened. So don't worry. I'll do what I can. "

"... thank you, Mr. Hayato. I've always been saved." I'll give you my gratitude one day. "

Seeing Daté in the dark, Hayato tried to make a bright voice.

Well, if you get the chance to do that, give me back the interest.

Daté was a little puffy, but she smiled a little.

“That's right, then I'll give you back the interest, so expect it.”

"Yes, but I might not be able to handle it alone... let's share the information with Esha and Pat." They're both rearguards, so it'll be easier to handle than the frontguards if something happens. "

"Sure, I'm careful, but if we're all careful, we'll be fine." Then I'll talk to both of you. I'm sorry to interrupt. "

Hayato said, "I don't think I'm in the way," and dropped off the data that was leaving the room.

Hayato reconsiders what Diette said, as she immediately resumes production of the cat.

(Have you ever been attacked by a tiger? It must have happened in a group that protects animals. Even at that time, you wouldn't have seen a tiger if it hadn't been so many things. but.....)

What I'm curious about is whether I can like animals even when it happens.

(Damn it. I didn't know what to do with the memory of being attacked by a tiger. In light of the circumstances, it seems that the tiger attacked me has disappeared from my memory, but is it possible that I will dislike animals when my memory returns? But you stayed on the spaceship for the animals, didn't you?)

I have some doubts, but I don't have enough information.

Hayato continued to build a cat bugger, thinking he should check it out before battling the white tiger.

On the way from the Mansion to the Castle, Hayato looked at Surya and thought a lot.

Esha and Pat shared the information, but in the end, Ash and Nay shared the information, and all the members who knew the reality knew it.

For Dat, I told Hayato, Esha, and Pat that I wanted everyone to prioritize play, that I didn't want to exaggerate, and that I shouldn't give too much information, but Esha said this.

"You're overburdening your mistress, aren't you?" Let's all share in order to reduce the burden. By the way, even in reality, I'm burdening my mistress. "

As for Hayato, I don't think it's burdensome, but I don't know what kind of confrontation it is, but Esha is competing with Daté. From the point of view of how much you are bothering Hayato.

I guess there was something about Daté too. I was damaged by what Esha said, but I shared the information with them saying, "That's right."

Ash and Naek and the others understood the situation and accepted it happily. This battle took the form of trying to keep Surya from getting attacked as much as possible.

Later, Hayato questions Diete and thinks he understands Surya and Maris to some extent.

"Surya, I still remember being attacked by a tiger." Of course, I changed the shape to be attacked by Tiger-shaped monsters. Even if something like that happened, I was trying to protect the animals, so I didn't turn it off. "

"Then, if you come back to your memory, you don't hate animals, do you?"

"That's impossible." At that time, the animal's life was light. Even so, Surya must have really liked animals. That's what I was trying to protect with my life. "

"The loss of life is a big one." But was the animal's life light? "

Hayato doesn't quite understand the meaning.

The animals are now heavily controlled by colonies and seem to be more valued than the working-class Hayato.

"Hayato-kun may not know."

"I don't know?"

"I see... Mr. Hayato, do you know the animal that should be cared for the most?"

What, all of a sudden? Is that a puzzle?

"No, it's a serious matter."

"Well, what is it?" Is it a dog or a cat? "

"Hayato-kun would answer that." Esha, you know that, don't you? "

Esha nodded without showing any thought.

You're human.

"Huh? Well, maybe humans are animals, but is that the answer?"

"A hundred years ago, we were on the verge of extinction." There is no animal that is more important than humans in such a situation. "

"Oh, is that so?" In other words, Maris and Surya tried to protect the animals more than they did. Loss of life is not a metaphor. "

The situation is different now and in the past. Maris and Surya must have been quite prepared to protect the animals from extinction. Even though Surya was being attacked by a tiger.

After hearing that, Hayato stared at Surya on his way to the castle.

Of course, it was Surya who wondered about the gaze.

Hayato-san, I've been looking at me for a while now, but is there anything I can do for you?

Ah, I'm sorry, uh, I forgot to give you the cat mess.

I've received it, but I wonder if it's effective.

Take it with you as an amulet.

“Yes, I can't fight with Garland indoors, and I think I should keep it to myself.”

After Suya said that, she waved her cat to the left and right. Still, I opened my mouth again, wondering if I was suspicious of Hayato.

It's true that without Garland, my strength would fall, but don't worry, I won't stretch my legs.

"Ah, no, that's not what I was worried about." Basically, when I say that, I'm just pulling my leg. "

"It's the same with cats, but in a way it's a talent for making so much medicine and cooking." Could it be that you're making a fool of yourself? "

"What? That's not--"

Seeing Hayato in a hurry, Surya giggles and laughs.

“I'm just kidding, that's not the case when you're looking at your usual Hayato. But is something really wrong? I've been staring at you for a while now, so I'm a little embarrassed."

"I'm really sorry. Actually, I was a little curious about those clothes..."

Although it was left out of her mouth, Hayato said so.

It is not a lie that I am concerned. Knowing Surya's reality, the outfit seemed somewhat bizarre.

"You mean the clown's clothes?"

Yeah, and a mask.

Oh, this is it. It's pretty mysterious, isn't it?

"Mysterious...? Well, can I say that...?"

Suya hides the right half of Hayato's face in a clown mask. I've never seen a complete bare face. It can't be called mysterious, but it's a clown, so it's half mysterious.

I wonder if I could show it to Mr. Hayato.

While saying that, Surya removed the clown's mask and revealed her face on the right.

"Huh? Ah..."

There were marks under the mask that seemed to be caught by something.

It was completely hidden by a mask, but three scars stretched vertically from the forehead through the right eye to the cheek. It was Hayato's impression that the scars were only slightly visible and did not reach the eyes. The evidence shows that the right eye is normally open.

Virtual reality doesn't scratch. In other words, there are still scratches in reality. It was probably a scratch from a tiger.

"It's the result of imposing when my training skills were low because of my youth." I don't care much, but I wear a mask because it's a lot of trouble. "

Surya smiles and wears another clown mask.

Hayato shook his head to the side with a serious look on his face.

It may be the result of the forceful wound, but Surya-san is amazing.

Amazing?

"Even so, I think Surya, who doesn't hate animals and does tamers, is a fine woman."

That's what Hayato said based on reality.

Besides, Hayato has had injuries to his leg in an accident. It is not as difficult as before, but it is still difficult to move suddenly. Thinking about it, I felt close to respect for Surya, who had no scars on her face but didn't want to do anything about it.

Surya gave a surprised expression, then smiled as she flicked her left cheek with her index finger.

"I knew it wouldn't be a problem if I showed it to Mr. Hayato." I hid it because there was a lot of sympathy, but I can't believe it praises me the same way as Maris does. ”

Do you even know Maris?

"I've seen it before." At that time, he praised me the same as Mr. Hayato. Since then, I've thought differently about pets than Maris, but I think I'm a friend. "

"That's what happened."

I don't know if it's real or virtual, but Surya must have been thinking about Maris since then.

For a moment, I panicked to see if I had stimulated my memory, but Surya seemed to be in a good mood and nothing in particular had changed. Hayato stroked his chest.

"That's what Hayato praised me for, so today I'll tame the white tiger on behalf of Maris." This wound was also done by a tiger-shaped monster, so it's a revenge. "

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"That's terrible for Maris." Besides, even if I piss the white tiger off with Taim, Hayato will protect me, right? "

If it's just a blow, I can revive it, but maybe it's too inefficient.

"... erm, Hayato-san, if you want to dress up, I'd like to ask you to finish up."

"Huh? Has there ever been a nice place?"

"... if you think about it, I don't think so." Somehow, it feels a lot of disappointment. "

Could it be that it's no good?

You're pretty exhausted, aren't you?

Hayato went to the castle in such a conversation with Surya.

There were samurai watching around the castle to keep the white tigers out.

According to information from Daté, the White Tiger does not leave the castle with the setting that it cannot leave the field that emerged from the screen. Samurai don't know that, so they're guarding it.

The inhabitants of the town had also taken refuge a short distance from the castle, and the situation was troublesome.

Is it because of this that there are many residents who support the Hayato people, and there is also a personality that likes festivals, so they gave me quite a lot of support to come here.

Well then, let's defeat the white tiger to meet the expectations of the people of the town.

Everyone nodded at Hayato's words.

The first step was to move to the room with the easiest screen to fight.

Otherwise, the place is too narrow to fight. The white tiger was militant, but when it looked for people, it attacked. If you don't bother to look for it from here, it will come from over there in the Great Hall. Hayato saw that if I could move around, I wouldn't have a problem with my strength.

While escaping yesterday, Hayato confirmed the way the White Tiger fought. Share information with everyone while remembering it.

As expected, the white tiger had a lot of cold air attacks and was weak on fire. Then, it was not only Benituru and Simon, who were attracted by the attack, who did not attack with the hate value, but also the moving object was immediately attracted to the action.

(Maybe you can earn hate value by messing with cats...?)

Ash, when the White Tiger's tame is over, try to catch my attention with the cat.

That's fine, but it works, right?

"Maybe..."

"Maybe... well, I'll do it."

Ash, who had a cat trick instead of a sword, only felt uncomfortable, but it was time to try it.

When they were ready, Hayato and the others stepped into the castle. Then he hurried to the Great Hall.

The main hall is on the second floor. As soon as you cross the long corridor and go up the stairs.

Hayato and the others ran down the hallway, but in the middle, a white tiger flew out of the room, breaking through.

Hurry up!

When it comes to fighting in the hallway, you are forced to confront a small number of people to make sure you lose. Everyone ran out to escape into the Great Hall and fight afterwards.

"I'll take care of this."

While everyone ran, Ash remained in the narrow corridor and confronted the white tiger.

What you're saying is good, but what you have is a cat mess and you don't look good.

However, Ash can disable Physical Attacks for any amount of time using the Death Dragon Series gear set effect. He was a good shield, a good decoy. I wondered if the cat mess was effective, and the white tiger flew at Ash, who was shaking it.

While Ash was under attack, the Hayato arrived in the hall on the second floor. I laid out a formation so that I could immediately pick up the white tiger and shoot him.

A few seconds later, Ash broke through the hood so that it would be blown away.

Ash rolled back about three times, then stood up with that momentum and immediately stood up with his sword.

Ash!

"It's okay! It's coming!"

Ash jumped in, and now the white tiger jumped in. I saw that there were many people in the hall, and for a moment I was confused, but after I saw Ash, I flew over.

(Is it because of your imagination that no one has a cat trick and looks sorry...?)

And the battle with the white tiger began.
