Another Frontier Online

When they arrived at Kigashima Island, Hayato and the others immediately decided to go to the camping site.

According to the captain, the campsite is located around the harbor or near two mines a little to the west.

Without hesitation, Hayato decided to make a camp near the mine.

In the harbor, you can fish for fish and other materials, but what you want is ore. I would like to use a camp close to the mine to refill the ore.

Everyone agrees with the idea.

On the way, a demon emerged, but it wasn't an enemy of the Hayato. There were red demons who were the main targets of physical attacks, blue demons who were the main targets of magic attacks, and black demons who did both, but they didn't lose first.

However, it is hard to do.

The demons were all close to 250 meters tall, and although they moved slowly, the blow was heavy. In the first place, because the weapon was a huge gold bar, when it was attacked with a weapon or shield, the durability of the weapon was greatly reduced.

In addition, the demons had a lot of HP, were equipped with Samurai-style armor, and had a lot of defense. Magic is mainly a weak magic. There was no losing, but there was a problem that it would take time to win.

(Oh no. Every time I fight, my weapon's endurance decreases a lot faster. Most of everyone's gear is Adamantite or Oriharkon, so I can't hold it anymore.)

There are still ingots to use to repair the weaponry, but given the reduced speed, it seems like they will soon disappear. It is possible to return to the capital and buy it, but there is too much waste.

You can only expect the mines in the campsite, but if there are other players, the mining will be diminished. In addition, there are only 100 members of the mining skill, which can only be dug up by increasing the skill value of rings and bracelets.

(If you can dig a lot in the mine, there will be no problem, but I don't think you can get that much even if you can dig. We need to save as much as possible...... is this an event too?)

Hayato glanced at Daté, but could not read it from his expression. Rather than smile, I can't read. Hayato speculates that he will be happy with the event that was held for the first time.

When I thought about what to do, I arrived at the camp in time.

The campsite is an abandoned mining town. Even if it is abandoned, it does not feel decayed, and the house can be used as it is just because people do not live there.

A large number of players had already arrived, and a good spot had been taken close to the entrance to the mine.

I'm just curious.

There was a World Announcement in the morning. The only way to get from the West to the East is to take a boat that leaves early in the morning or around 3pm in the capital.

To get to Kigajima faster than Hayato and the others, I had to be in the eastern country from the beginning. There are too many of them in view of that.

In terms of the number of clans, Hayat thought that there were fewer than a hundred of them, but there were already nearly twenty clans here. It's a well-known clan alliance, as Hayato knows it, or a clan under his umbrella.

(Exactly, the main clan hasn't arrived, but it's a clan that is related to "Imperial" and "Over the Top"... I don't know much about other clans.)

The clan originally had no alliance or umbrella system. It's just that the player said that, but it's hard to understand, so it's mainstream to mark the clan name with a mark that is easy to judge.

It's basically an emoji. Putting it on the head of the clan name is a sign of the alliance's umbrella.

The Imperial Castle's mark, Over the Top, and the Bandit's two crossed axes. There is no mark on the clan name of the main unit, but there are many clans that treat it as a flag.

There are signs that Hayato doesn't know, but most of the people here were either allies or clans under his umbrella.

(The clan that originally came to the eastern country to investigate. The main clan is about to pick up the spot before it arrives... the ships from the Kingdom will arrive in the east country in the evening, so we may be able to explore Kigajima as a matter of priority until then)

Hayato, if Lunaria wants to go to the camp, she wants to go there, right?

Hayato returned to me in Ash's voice and saw where Lunaria was going to be.

Far from the entrance to the mine, it stands out. And since it is a house built on the ground, there is nothing around. Hayato nods immediately, thinking it was better to stay away from the other clans because there are Lunaria and the others.

"Alright, let's put it there." Let's put our bags down first and decide what to do next. "

And when Hayat had said so, they all went to the mansion.

The buildings are much bigger than they look, and they are as big as the mansions that are temporary bases in the eastern countries. Hayato speculates that it must have been a house where the mayor lived.

It was easy to decide what to do after I put my luggage.

Lunaria, black roses, and Benitzur were to explore the island. I was supposed to check the situation on the island and look for the place for the sake drinker.

However, it is only on the ground. From above, Maris and Surya, and Cecil and Noatle rode in pairs to investigate.

"Is Mr. Noato all right? I mean, you've come a lot without wasting your time, right?"

When Hayato heard that, Noat nodded with sleepy eyes.

"Find it quickly, knock it down quickly, and go to bed early. Besides, Cecil doesn't feel lazy when he's with you. I realized I had to get it over with."

"Oh, yeah, good luck. I'll give you a donut later."

This time, say hello to Donut King Dam.

"Next to Castle is King Dam... how far is that repertoire?" What's next, Donut World? "

"Next, donuts and big bangs."

After such an exchange, Ney and Pat decided to mine the Genesis Dragon and Diete in the mine.

"I used to mine a lot of things with Hayato." I also have the ring and bracelet from that time, so leave it to me. "

Nai said cheerfully, and the Black Dragon members nodded.

"Nice to meet you. Yes, I'll give it to Pat and the others. Your mining skills will improve, so you can occasionally dig for rare ore.”

"There's something like this." Thank you. I'll dig a lot. I'll take care of it. "

When Pat receives all his portions, he gives them to Agress and the others.

Suen sighed as she received the ring and bracelet.

”At least I wanted to be given the ring to a handsome man...”

"I'm sorry, with three eyes." But you should keep it for the real thing. "

"I don't hate that positive part of Pat. Alright! I'll definitely make you super handsome in production!"

Hayato thought it might be positive, but he said it was better not to say anything extra.

"Well then, everybody, thank you." We'll gather information and create production items in town. "

Hayato, Esha, and Ash and Ren log out in the afternoon because they have realistic coffee shop jobs. I told her that as a reason in the meantime.

Everyone nodded and set off from the Mansion to do what each of them had to do.

At night, Hayato and the others logged in after the coffee shop was over.

Hayato was the last one to log in because he had something planned for tomorrow. Waking up in the Mansion's room, Hayato thought of going to the Great Hall to share information. An application for voice chat came.

Mr. Rosé? Is something wrong?

"Oh, thank goodness, are you finally connected?"

Although it seemed reassuring, it seemed odd that voice chat was so connected. Hayato wonders if something went wrong.

Was there any trouble at the base?

"When it comes to trouble, it's a problem... but I thought I'd ask for a policy."

"Policy?"

Yeah, actually--

According to Rosé, the products at the base were about to be sold out.

The reason why this is happening is that there was an event in the eastern country, so we bought a lot of food and portions to prepare it.

I understand the circumstances, but Hayato wonders.

There were a significant number of production items made as goods at the base. Even if it sold twice as much as usual, I came to the country in the east. Even if it sells in large quantities, I don't think it will be enough to worry about selling out on the first day of the event.

"Did you sell that much?"

"Actually, there was a reason." Do you remember the location next door? ”

I remember preparing for the opening.

I opened the store the day Hayato left, but we sold the same product at a 30% discount.

"That's it again... but what's wrong with that?" I don't think it has anything to do with our products being sold out. "

“Today, we suddenly closed the store.”

"... eh?"

"All the customers who were lining up from the morning for the 30% discount next door came here." Moreover, since there was a world announcement, it sold more than usual. I want to check the policy, can I spit out all my inventory, or should I open the shop every day to limit the number of days I sell? ”

"Oh, that's right. I don't know what to do..."

I'm also curious about the store next door, but it's the base store first.

In terms of grabbing customers, it would be better to open every day, but it doesn't seem to make much sense to limit the number of sales per day. However, now that the event has begun, we can't go back to replenishing it.

After some thought, Hayato decided to take advantage of the situation.

Okay, then you can spit out all your inventory and sell it as much as you can.

"I understand." If it's sold out, you won't have to work as a shopkeeper, but I'll make sure to clean up the base. ”

"Can I ask you to do something else?"

“Another job?”

"I don't know if I can ask you to do the maid's job, but I want you to deliver the ingredients and ore from the base warehouse to Kigajima in the east." It's hard to gather materials over here. "

Is this Kigajima during the event?

It's important to protect my husband's castle, but I'd like to ask if I could.

"I understand." Then I'll check if there's a problem with the maid, so please be patient. "

I'll pay for it separately, but if it's no good, don't force it.

Yes, I'll tell you that as well.

Hang up the voice chat after hearing that Rose will contact you again.

After that, Hayato left the room and moved towards the Great Hall.

Everyone in the hall is talking to Yi Yi. As usual, Hayato started gathering information from everyone, wondering if there was something good going on because of his masculine face.

First, the exploration team.

The search from the ground and the sky identified the place where the sake drinker was.

Kigashima Island is an almost triangular island, and it is based at the foot of the volcano to the north of the island.

It is said that the child who drinks sake is a red demon close to five meters and carries a huge gold bar. Normal demons had one horn growing from their foreheads, but it seemed that there were two sake drinking children.

Unlike the other demons, it seemed like the scouts had low defense just by wearing tiger stripes around their backs. It is also equipped with a huge gourd, and the information is that I drank many times how much alcohol gushed out.

There were already people fighting, and they were attacking like a wide-range shockwave that would hit the ground with a gold bar. Moreover, it seemed that drinking alcohol had increased the power. I could hardly confirm the magic attack, and the firebreath that I would occasionally do after drinking was a fire attribute attack.

Rosalier explained the information, but Lunaria, who was lying next to her, looked at Doya.

"This time, I carefully did only reconnaissance." I thought I'd raise the tension and fight, but I put up with it. Praise me. "

Great

Lunaria smiled and nodded toward Benitzur, wondering how satisfied she was with it.

According to other sources, there is a forest further west from this location, and it is possible to extract it there. Also, it appears that Simon contacted us, and the town's defenses were fine.

Next up is the mining team.

The mine is quite large, but the mining point near the entrance has already been captured by other clans, so we had to go far to mine it.

Almost all types of ore can be extracted from the ore itself. It was confirmed that I could dig from iron to Adamantite.

But that's not all. There is something that Nay happily showed to Hayato.

It was dug at the deepest point of the mine.

"...... Hylok Money!"

A hydrangea that is more rare than Adamantite. It was an ore that I knew existed, but I had no idea where it was.

There was a treasure chest made of hydrangea on an island floating in the sky, so I thought it was believable, but I didn't think it could be picked here, so Hayato was more tense than it seemed.

"Probably won't come out close to the entrance." There are monsters in the mines, and we can take whatever we want from the deepest mining points. Well, there weren't any members with 100 skills, so the odds of digging were pretty low. Even if we dig together, it's just this. "

"I just want to thank you for knowing that I can dig."

I'd like to dig all day unless I'm in the middle of an event, but I can't. Hayato decided to dig after defeating the sake drinker.

"Mining is more than that, but there is something else."

Huh? Anything else?

"At night, players came to Kigajima, but Imperial, Over the Top, and the leader of Stelkst came. You said you wanted to see Hayato, but did you know him?"

Hayato also includes some of the biggest clans we know, but we don't know each other just because we know each other. I know a big clan just like Bandit's Jolt.

"No, I don't know at all." I've never heard of Stelkst before. "

"Steelkust is a clan that believes in defeating powerful monsters solo." The clans were formed after the Clan War, but now they are big enough not to take the lead from the big clans. I think the leader Lutz has been famous since before that. "

"Lutz--Oh, I do remember hearing that." But I don't know him. "

"I see. They were talking about coming back, so maybe they will."

"Did he say what it was about?"

It seems that you want to say hello to the talkative Hayato.

"It's a conversation..."

Hayato remembers Jolt's words.

It is famous for playing with powerful NPCs in clans, especially from the big clans. That means there are many clans that want to form an alliance or become an umbrella.

As a matter of fact, I got a bother from a shooting star. It was an invitation to an alliance or an umbrella, but one way or another it was close to abduction, so without Maris' skill, it was highly likely that Hayato would have been taken.

Hayato thought that maybe something similar would happen again, so he refrained from acting alone.

"I hope it's not too much trouble... okay, thank you"

Ney nodded with a smile and turned towards the rosary. Hayato smiles that he will be playing card games again in the future.

But it was a little dark inside.

The clans that came next to the base weren't sure what they wanted to do, and it felt troublesome that the leaders of the big clans came.

I thought I would have to live up to Bandit's prestige in earnest, so I received an application for voice chat. It was against Rosé.

Master Hayato, thank you for waiting.

“It's okay. So, what do you say?”

"Yes, I have your permission." Consumables for goods, food and medicine in stores, but when they are almost sold out, we take the materials from the warehouse and head to the eastern country. ”

"Thank you, thank you."

"Ah, well, that's it." I just want to ask you a few things..... "

"Please? What?"

"The maid and Gill-sama said they wanted to go too." I think the larger the number of people, the more materials you can bring with you, but is it possible? ”

Originally, the Maid Commander and the Dark Ten Knights of Gilles were on the base as Rose's escort. The fact that Rosé is heading east means that he no longer needs to be escorted to the base. I'd rather have an escort on the road.

I'd like to ask for your permission, but I wonder if Gill and the other maids need Lunaria's permission anyway.

"It seems to be fine. Because Lunaria-sama was troubled in the eastern country, there was talk of wanting to rescue the entire Demon King army, and she asked if she could come to the eastern country."

I glanced at Lunaria.

When I pull the joker and look at Lunaria with tears in her eyes, I don't think it's like that, but I think she wants to recover what she did just by scouting.

We needed to be prepared, but it was like Hayato was going to do it for us. Later, I thought I would give them a delicious dessert, but first I answered by voice chat that it was Rose and the others.

"If that's the case, please come and get me."

“Okay, I think we'll probably run out tomorrow. I'll be in touch when we leave.”

Roger that. Thank you.

Hayato said that and ended the voice chat with Rosé.

There is still time to go to bed at night. Hayato decides to use the ore he dug today to start maintenance on his weaponry.

I had a visitor about thirty minutes later.

I thought he was from a big clan, and I greeted him on the doorstep with Nay.

"It's late at night." I'm Keith, the leader of Over the Top. Nice to meet you! "

Keith looks like a man in his early twenties with short, slightly reddish brown hair. They were equipped with bright red armor and two-handed swords on their backs just like Ash. This sword was also red in its blade, so it could be said that it was red overall.

"It's Hayato from Daedalus. This is Nay the Black Dragon."

I greet you normally even though I think the tension is high at night.

"I heard you came to say hello...?"

"Don't be so vigilant." I didn't think I'd take it elsewhere and eat it. "

Haha

"Actually, Jolt asked me to do it."

From Jolt?

"Yes, there was a clan meeting today, and Joel complained to the shooter who was bothering Hayato, but he didn't hear me."

It is a little itchy that something about me is happening without my knowledge.

In the first place, it was a meeting of major clans. I heard myself talking about it occasionally, but I was a little surprised that a shooting star could be there.

I thought I got caught in the trouble, but I'm not sure why Keith came. Jolt asked me to do it, but I don't know what it is.

“I understand that, but why is Keith here?”

"You don't have to say such awe-inspiring words." You can also call me by name. I'm also called Hayato. "

"Um, okay. Then why did Keith come? What did Jolt ask you to do?"

"If the shooting stars make trouble for Hayato and the others, they asked me to protect them." I've been dating Jolt since the early days of the game, but I was surprised when I was asked to do that for the first time! ”

That said, Keith laughed.

I don't know why he did it, but Hayato was wary that Jolt was going to bury it from the moat.

"I appreciate the story, but why would Jolt do that?"

"Hmm? I don't know about that either, but you think I'm a rival because I lost the Clan War." I think we're talking about sending salt to the enemy. I don't know.

Hayato wondered if he had such a personality, but decided to thank him for the time being. I don't know if this story is true, but I don't think Jolt will tell the truth soon enough.

“It's helpful. Nothing so far, but if there's anything I can rely on, I'll rely on you.”

"Oh, you can always tell me." Well, even if nothing happens, let's do our best to defeat the Sake Boy together! Well then, I'm sorry for being late! "

"Thank you for taking the trouble to come."

Keith said, "It's fine," and left without any particular remorse.

Nae opens her mouth when she can't see herself.

It was a very kind and pleasant opponent, isn't it?

I feel like there's no back cover.

It was a friendly response that I didn't feel like I had met for the first time.

Hayato has heard that the clan "Over the Dop" is a free clan that is friendly.

Since it is named as a romantic clan with an emphasis on firepower, I explained that it would not be a leader if it did not have such a refreshing character.

“By the way, I just found out, are you having trouble with a clan called Shooting Star?”

Nay looked serious and asked Hayato.

"Didn't I tell you?" I've had alliances with those clans, but they've been pretty aggressive. I tried to take me away, so I got into a fight in the cafeteria where the NPCs were running. ”

"I can't forgive that." By the way, what kind of guy are you? "

"I don't know the leader." It's just that the lady butler and the maid are here. Was the name Ronios and Cremola? "

"Ronios and Cremola...?"

Nay put his arms together and tilted his neck.

"Are you famous? I don't know."

“Oh, no. It's not famous in the game, but it's the same name I know in real life.”

"Could it be someone related to the 'Foundation'?" I felt like my husband was loyal to me. "

As a precaution, the "Foundation" part is kept low. Even if there was a person from the foundation in front of me and I heard the sloppy mouth, it was stained since I was a child, so I guess I can't help it.

"Master? Loyalty? Maybe not." I can't say anything unless I see you, but it's a coincidence. Besides, I wouldn't play such a game. just..... "

Just?

"If I knew the other person, I felt like I'd been caught in the eye by someone very bad." Somehow, it's hard to talk about, and I'm tired. I've been coming home a lot lately, and I'm saying no to the game. "

"It's amazing how much Nay can say..."

"Well, if you know each other, don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

"I'm counting on you." Now that we're almost ready, it's time to log out. "

"What are you talking about?" The night is coming. We're going to have a girls' talk, so have fun! I'm not tired because I'm having fun talking about this, and I can do anything! "

"I'll force you to log out if you do anything... no, before that, I'm a man?"

I don't care!

"I care."

Hayato returned to the house, at least with Ash and Aggrez in mind.
