Another Frontier Online

The Azure Dragon, summoned by the Hayatoes, and called by the Lord Lunaria, was defeated in battle with the people of the Eastern kingdom.

The Azure Dragon was visible to most people in the eastern country, so those who could fight gathered at the shrine in the artisan town.

It was no exception for Esha and Maris, who immediately rushed to the idea that "someone had done something".

Those who could fly and those who focused on ranged attacks were effective against the blue dragon in the sky.

Maris and Surya were the most active.

After visiting the Azure Dragon, I immediately returned to the Mansion to pick up the Elder Griffon's Lancelot and the Dragon's Garland, which had been strengthened to near its limit. Then he immediately rushed to the shrine.

The aerial battle was a feat, and Qinglong was swinging by the two wave-like attacks flying around at high speed. I promised to tame the Azure Dragon first, but it was enough to cancel it out.

Another member of the Black Rose crew summoned a giant crow called Bloody Crow, a monster that could fly on multiple cars, and ranged magic and crossbow attacks overhead.

The Azure Dragon's altitude decreases whenever it takes damage. Once they had lowered to a certain point, they could also reach from the ground, and the people of the eastern countries who had rushed to them launched a ranged attack.

Azure Dragon's attacks are mostly magical attacks by lightning strikes, and it is the type that unilaterally ranged attacks from a safe area. If I lowered my altitude to the point where I could hit, I was a weak monster.

He eventually jumped out of the Bloody Crow and managed to defeat the Azure Dragon with Lunaria and Esha's Destroy.

However, I knew there would be a problem if I defeated them. That's what the Hayatoes looked up in the book.

Azure Dragon - Kill all Four Holy Beasts to unlock the seal. I didn't know what it would look like, so Hayato was worried, but it was soon discovered.

"The seal has been lifted on Kigashima Island." We are launching an invasion of the eastern kingdom. Attempt to defeat us. It will take about a week to re-seal. Repeat - ”

It was a signal to start a stampede. It was unusual for another event to occur during the Monster Atlas event, but the triggering event would not change the timing of the situation.

The Sake Kid event occurred because of the trigger to defeat the Four Sacred Beasts.

For those who know reality, it's just a game event, but not the NPCs who see this world as real. The people of the eastern country were confused by this situation.

It was Benitzuru and Simon who made it.

The shrine in the artisan town where many people had gathered to defeat the Qinglong, and Benituru and Simon stood near the tallest money box there, and Simon said, "Quiet!" I grabbed my attention and quieted my surroundings.

"And before the princess." Refrain. "And the people of the eastern land try to lie flat, and Benitzur smiles, and stops it, and opens his mouth.

"Don't worry, my friend Demon King Luna will defeat Sake Kid!" And now that there are other super-powered people in the East Country, it's a little bit! So don't panic, all of you! "

The words were awkward, but the people who were near Benitzur's words, which were extremely popular, cheered. Each of them began to prepare their defenses, speaking out to each other in an attempt to do what they could.

Hayato and the others left the shrine to decide what to do once they were back at the Mansion.

Returning to the Mansion, the Hayatoes are preparing for battle.

The goal was to defeat the sake drinker on Kigashima Island, but there was talk of demons appearing everywhere in the eastern country. Both the defense of the town and the crusade against the sake drinkers were necessary.

After a week, it is automatically resealed, so it is fine to wait for it, but there are many opinions that it should be defeated. By defeating them, the raid on the city ends quickly. Therefore, we were discussing how to allocate offensive defense.

With that, Lunaria raised her right hand.

Hayato-san, I may have forgotten, but I'm the Devil King.

"... I remember, but what is that?"

What do you mean, letting the Demon King sit on his throne?

"Think about it with your hands on your chest."

Is Mr. Hayato an evil god to force the demon king to sexually harass him?

"It's not mine, it's my boobs."

Lunaria drew her eyes on the painting of the blue dragon even though Hayato had stopped it. That prompted me to summon the Azure Dragon, and the seal on the Sake Brewing Kid was lifted, but I was made to sit down with that punishment.

I was going to defeat the Azure Dragon and unseal the Sake Kid, but I was going to do it when I was ready. The eastern countries are temporarily in turmoil because they are not ready to do it all of a sudden.

With that in mind, Benituru and Shimon broke up with the Hayatoes, and now they're back at the castle and dealing with things.

This is also to stop the chaos in the eastern country, but this response also involves deceiving the Hayato people that the seal has been lifted.

This time, Benitzur made up a story about what he asked Hayato and the others to do, so that there would be no complaints against Hayato and the others.

Hayato asked me not to do that because Benituru could be treated as a bad person, but he said, "I'm thought to be a princess with a lot of things to do, so hehehe!” he said brightly.

If you were ready, you wouldn't have had to make up your mind. It is highly likely that the confusion could have been prevented by at least making known in advance.

”Lunaria-san, I won't tell you to absolutely listen to my request, but you told me to stop.”

“I did say that. But I'm the demon king. I'll tell you it's impossible to stop."

Ok, so from today only Lunaria-san will have no snacks.

"Oh, I think that's rough." Rosalie, your friend, hasn't shut up either. "

When Lunaria sent her gaze to Rosalie, she turned away.

Lunaria, who was a little surprised, sent her gaze to the other Black Rose members, but she turned away just like Rosalie did.

Rosalie and the others think that Hayato is more correct in this case. Moreover, even though it was Lunaria's order, there was a place where she could not come out strongly against Hayato because she tried to interrupt Hayato who tried to stop her.

Lunaria panicked, perhaps sensing the seriousness of the matter.

"Wait, I want you to wait a minute." I want to check, but maybe I did something really bad...? "

"Pretty good. I was going to do it someday, but I needed to get ready." It didn't seem to be a crime, and you probably didn't know that the Azure Dragon would come out, but I stopped it so much... "

"Benny, I went to Benny's room and the tension was really high..."

"The confusion among the people at the shrine has subsided somewhat, but the people who weren't there still seem to be confused." Right now, Benny and Simon are giving instructions to various places in the castle, so it's going to be a big deal. Besides, Benny told me that she was the culprit and asked me to unseal it. "

"Well, when I heard that, I felt like I was drowning." I'll say I'm sorry. You may write a reflection statement. I'm pretty good at it because I write it all the time. "

Although he did not seem to reflect subtly, he seemed to understand that it was becoming a big deal.

There was no point in saying a lot to Lunaria, who thought she was the Demon King in the first place.

No one could explain clearly what a demon king was. It only comes out in creations, so the number of demon kings makes a difference.

What was a demon king for Lunaria? I don't know about that, but I can see from your usual words and deeds that you are strong, dressy, and great.

However, Lunaria is much more childish than she looks. The mental age is the same as or lower than that of the late teenager Benitzur. Acting as the Demon King was not as good as I thought.

If you're a demon king and you're playing a role-playing game, I was wondering if you could listen to me if you were careful with the elemental part. Besides, if there are similar things in the future, there will be more troublesome things, so I want to do something about it from now on.

"I'm sorry I didn't explain, but can you not do what I said I can't do from now on?"

"I understand. I'll be patient even if the tension rises in the future." As a demon king, I promise. "

"Alright, I promise. Then I'll show the devil's power for the people of the eastern kingdom and Benny-chan." I'm looking forward to it, right?

With that, Lunaria's face turned bright.

"Leave it to me. I'll make such a demon rusty." The amount of trouble caused to the people in the eastern country is 50% more serious. When you're done, you can distribute the Demon King cookies to everyone. "

"Then Masatsu will be fine." And don't worry about the snacks. "

Released from the throne, Lunaria suddenly stood up and looked serious.

"Seems like you've messed up quite a bit, so I'll show you the power of the Demon King 's--Demon King's army." Rosalie and the others are serious, too. "

Rosalie and the others approached Lunaria. And then I heard the words "splendid," "good," and "I adored the flustered demon king."

Lunaria's selfishness was a spectacle that made her suspect that the black roses were just spoiling her, but Hayato took her gaze off to see if it was okay.

Esha approaches such a Hayato.

"The camel and the whip are amazing. And it's a surprise to do that to the Demon King.”

Is it a snack called a whip?

"I can't complain about getting a girl's snack stung." If I were you, I'd shoot you in the belsave. "

"... did you do something pretty bad?"

"To unseal a child drinking alcohol suddenly"

"I'll be careful from now on... I won't take Esha's snack away, but please take care of yourself." In the real world. "

“I can't promise, but I'll try. What are you going to do now, if that's okay? There's plenty of room until the afternoon work, though."

"That's right..."

Hypnos, the backup of Daté, was hiding in the Dragon's Stampede, so he couldn't beat the Genesis Dragons led by Vel, but this time it was just a game event.

Given the pre-Clan War stampede, there are regular monsters in town, but that's all. We're not destroying the city or attacking the NPCs. If it is not defeated, the NPC store will not open, and there will be a restriction that the facility cannot be used.

And there was a World Announcement. Players are likely to come to the eastern countries one after another. It was Hayato's desire to defeat the Sake Kid because he had solved the seal.

Nevertheless, it would be unjust not to defend the town. NPCs are humans, even though it's fine to divide them into games. Even if there is no risk to life, it is a natural idea to want to help NPCs because their lives are limited.

"I guess we should split up the team between defeat and defense." The question is who-- "

When I asked if I would choose, the door of the room opened. Benizuru and Shimon stood there.

Hayato, will you go with the princess to defeat the sake drinker?

Is it better for both of you at the castle?

“Um, I gave you the instructions, so there's no problem.”

So, what do you mean, you and Benny crusade together?

"As for the defense of the town, I will do it with the Samurai crowd." Besides, I thought the raids would be over sooner if Hayato and the others went to Kigajima and defeated the sake drinker. "

Simon, are you okay by yourself?

"Samurai crowds are fine, too." I'm training for a time like this. And not only the people of Samurai, but all the people of the city are motivated. It was awkward, but the princess's speech worked. "

"Simon is tough, isn't he?" But that's why Luna and I seem to be expected by everyone, so let's do it seriously! "

"You can count on it. It looks like you've messed up a bit, so I'll get it over with."

Benitzur and Lunaria are motivated.

And Simon, when he saw it, nodded, and looked toward Hayato.

"There is no place on Kigajima where you can go camping, but there is no one. Hayato's production skills will be essential if the battle is to last. There are a lot of materials that can be picked up on the island, but there are many demons, so if you split up the members, you might as well do it together."

Oh, I had to think about that, too.

Raid bosses in long battles in the past were played in the King's and Imperial Capitals respectively. It was easy to prepare because of the transfer device, but this time it didn't, and I was forced to fight on my own. Not only will we need to defend and crusade, but we will also need to mine.

By the way, is it okay to pick materials on your own on Kigajima?

There's no problem with anyone on Onigashima Island, but Hayato and the others can collect it anywhere in the country.

"No, I think a lot of people will come here because of the announcement." If that happens, I wonder if more people will collect it on Kigajima. "

In the eastern countries, there is a restriction that you should not pick materials on your own. It is believed that there are gods in various things. Players who have contributed to the eastern countries to a certain extent will be fine, but those who come for the first time will be punished.

The eastern kingdom needs to cross the sea for about two hours in real life from the king's port. There were no major facilities, such as guilds, so it was also an unpopular place. Many players will come for the first time.

"Is that what happened?" However, I don't want people who don't know it to collect it in the East... I'm sorry, but there might be some material grabbing on Onigashima. "

"When that happens, we should all go together." I heard earlier, but is Simon okay? "

Simon raised his mouth to Hayato's words.

"I'm still immature, but I won't be late for the demon." I'll take care of this for you. "

Trustworthy. Now, let's all go to Kigajima -- oh yeah, who wants to stay here?

Everyone was already motivated, but Maris raised her hands in horror.

Do you want Maris to stay?

"Ah, no, can Sieg and Max stay in this mansion?" As expected, it's difficult to take her to Kigajima. "

"That's right." I don't know what's going on at the Inogashima campground, so I think it's safer here. "

"In that case, I'll let some of the Samurai crowd protect the Mansion." I want you to feel safe with meals, etc. "

Maris nodded at Simon's words.

Can I ask you a favor?

Um, I'll take care of it.

"Thank you. Then I'll leave you both to listen to what everyone has to say."

In Maris' words, "Bia" and "Con" are answered by Siegfried, the triple-haired cat, and Max, the nine-tailed fox.

Benituru, who was watching it, roared arm in arm.

"I wonder if I need a Tamer Guild for such a time." I'll give you permission to make it already? "

"Even if I give permission, it won't be created immediately, but I feel the need." If you defeat the sake drinker, it would be good to go to the western country as planned and ask the details.

"Yes! There it is!" Luna! Let's defeat the drunkard and go to the West! Now I'll go to Luna's room and scavenge! "

"Huh, the Demon King Castle is hard to come by." I will tell you that my room is the strongest. "

"What do you mean the room is strong?" Is there a trap? "

About two people, the tension had gone crazy, but they left it alone and everyone started to prepare.

Two ports on the east side of Kigashima Island - from the port on the east side, we headed north. I could take my own boat, but if I didn't know the route, it would be difficult to get there, so I paid the fishermen in the harbor to get the boat out.

With Benitzur here, we've made it easy, and now we're going to go to Kigajima by boat.

According to the Captain, he had already sent some people to Kigajima. That means the player is already on his way. Hayato speculates that there may have been a player based in the eastern country.

It's a pity that I'm not the first, but it's still the fastest way, and I had to be prepared, so I had no choice.

While I was aiming for Kigajima by boat, I asked the fisherman about Kigajima.

Kigashima flourished before because various ore could be extracted, but it was inefficient after the demon began to appear, so it withdrew. Since then, I've been digging for ore by sending miners and escort samurai several times a month - the setting is there.

(Ore. I hope we can dig Adamantite. Everyone's armor has been reduced considerably in the fight against the Four Sacred Beasts and Yamatano Orochi, and I want to do something about it. Is there a problem with the potion or the food? What can I pick on Onigashima Island?)

Hayato can make anything as a production worker, but of course he needs materials to do so. There was enough material in the warehouse for the base, but in the eastern country, there were also boss-class monsters in battle, and the materials that I brought with me were very low.

Today, I asked Esha and the others to buy it, so I recovered some of the materials, but I couldn't bear to fight the Raid Boss.

Hayato thought it was time to create a temporary base and collect it first.

Hayato-san

Then came Ren, Ash, and Esha to Hayato, who had put their thoughts together.

It's been a long time since Mr. Nay and the other Raid Bosses fought for a long time, but isn't it different from a regular Raid Boss fight?

Don't you know Ren?

"There was a time when I was cursed, and I stayed home for a while."

"Oh, that's right. There have been several times in the past, but instead of defeating a boss in one battle, it's a boss fight where you fight and defeat a number of times for a few days. I wonder if I could really defeat you on the first day of the event because I have a lot of different HP.

Sometimes the boss's HP bar hasn't been restored in the second day of the raid, so it was quite exciting to find that it took a few days to defeat the boss.

"It happened, didn't it?" By the way, what kind of event was it? "

"Just before the start of the Clan War... I wonder if it was around February?" A giant chocolate golem has attacked the capital of the kingdom. The stampede smelled sweet all the time. Some people didn't like it. "

"It was a dream event, wasn't it? I wish I could go on forever."

Esha is saying that with an envious face. A small chocolate golem also appeared in the King's City, probably because the drop item was chocolate.

Hey, but why is the chocolate golem attacking me?

Everyone, including Hayato, leans back at Ren's question. No one knows why a giant chocolate golem attacked us.

It's an event called Valentine's Day.

Did you hear what I said? Ditte came up to me with a smile. I can see that there is no other way to say it.

"What is a Valentine's Day?"

When Hayato heard that, he opened his mouth, saying that Daté had just gotten the idea.

"It was a long time ago, but on Earth, around February, it was customary for women to send chocolate to men. It seems that it meant a day when women confessed to men along with chocolate, but it was destroyed due to depletion of resources and changes in diet. I can tell from the real-life colony" Library ", but most people didn't know and I missed it a bit..."

A hundred years ago, there were too few resources, and chocolate had to be eaten to trick the palate. "Food that tastes like chocolate if it tricks your taste buds." That happened, and Valentine's Day was obsolete.

"There was such an event." But why chocolate-- "

Esha-san!

Ren shouted loudly to block Hayato's words. And I grabbed and shook Esha's arms. Too much shaking caused Esha's neck to move back and forth.

“Did you hear what I just said!”

"Unfortunately, ears are better." But now my neck is going to get worse. "

“Let's make chocolate in February!”

"I make chocolate parfait every day."

I thought you were just eating it yourself!

“There's no other reason to make it?”

Hayato has some predictions about what Ren wants to say to Esha. Instead of a snake, the dragon jumped out, so I took a short distance and talked to Diete.

“I know there was an event like that, but why is there a golem?”

"It's a setting where the anger of a man who didn't get chocolate, the regret of a woman who couldn't give it to him even if he made it, or something like that brings life to chocolate. Don't you think it's romantic?"

"Romantic...?"

As a Hayato who has no experience with such events, I'm not sure, but I think it's an event with no romantic parts.

"Speaking of which, there was an explosive chocolate called a chocolate bomb in the drop item, right?" What is that? "

If you don't receive the item within five seconds of trading it with someone else, it will trigger an explosion that will trigger a knockback. Of course, it doesn't take any damage, and it's a play item that's called party goods.

Sometimes Nay and the others were interested, and they still kept quite a lot in the base warehouse. However, it's still a mystery why chocolate explodes.

"According to past information, when I saw the chocolate handover, they said," Explode. "Well, it's like a joke, but after a lot of improvements, I decided to really explode if I didn't receive it."

"Why did you improve it like that...?"

"I thought it was okay for a man not to accept gifts from a woman to explode." Hayato, if you don't take the chocolate from the woman, don't you want it to explode? "

I understand very well.

That's what Hayato said, staring at Ash.

"It would be a terrible thing to be told." But it's not chocolate, but it's common in Hayato's coffee shop. I won't accept it. "

"Explode."

“Well, wait a minute. Now I'm full of minds about actors, so I can't let you have poor expectations, can I? It's kindness to say no. It's hard not to hurt you, isn't it?"

I don't know about handsome men, but I know Hayato somehow. In Hayato, Ash was acquitted.

"I didn't do it last time because there was a clan war, but it might be a good idea to do it regularly." It was a reanimation event, I guess. There are quite a few requests like that. "

Ditte said happily.

A significant number of players have grown following the discovery that founders of this virtual reality, Another Frontier Online, are associated with the foundation. Many people want to regain items that can only be obtained in the event.

Hayato has known all the events since the early days of the game, but I agree that Hayato, who was a producer, has not been able to participate fully.

As I recall from the reunion event, the giant pumpkin golem emerged as a boss in a long time ago?

"It's a Halloween event, isn't it? Apparently, it was an event for everyone to cosplay and play. Cosplay was the main thing, as far as I can tell, though it was supposed to mean something different. Oh, yeah, I heard you threatened to flirt with me if you didn't give me a treat. Human beings have a profound trade."

I don't think that's what it means, but that's what the pumpkin golem drop item meant.

"Did you hear that, Esha-san?" If you don't give me sweets, I can call it pranks! "

"Please calm down, Master Ren." If I don't give me sweets, I'll eat them all. ”

If you do it in real life, you'll get really angry, right?

The ship gradually approached Kigajima while having such a conversation.
