Another Frontier Online

On the third day after the seal on the sake drinker was lifted, Hayato, Maris, Surya, and the five of Jolt and Viktor were aiming for a temple to the west of Kigajima.

I decided to explore Kigajima from this morning. It was because there was a chance that I could defeat the Sake Brewer if I didn't unlock any tricks.

Maris and Surya found a place where they could find it in the battle with the sake drinker. Kigajima had a triangular shape, but it seemed that they could see shrubs on the tip of the headland, one by one.

It was decided to head for one of them, the western headland. Let's go to the nearest place first.

However, I wanted to earn some damage against the sake drinker, so only Hayato, Maris, and Surya were part of the investigation team. Hayato is in a position to be targeted, but with a large field, Maris and Surya are unlikely to lose with their pets.

Just as I was about to leave, Jolt came to say hello.

I thought I'd end up with a brief greeting and said that Jolt and his deputy leader, Viktor, would go together. I was asked to apologize for not being able to convince the shooting star.

I didn't want to apologize, but Jolt and the others wouldn't. I was worried because there were NPCs Maris and Surya, but they both met on a floating island in the sky, so I decided that they would probably be okay and eventually asked them to accompany me.

Due to this situation, I decided to explore with a party of five pets, and now I am on my way to the tip to the west of the island on foot.

Hey, there's something like a temple at the tip of the island.

"That's right." It may be different because it was only seen from the sky, but Mr. Simon -- the people of the eastern country taught me a lot, so I thought maybe it was a mausoleum. "

Maris answers Jolt's question.

Surprisingly, the four of them are talking normally. It felt like they were adventuring normally, and the demons that came out on the move, Maris and Surya, as well as Jolt and Viktor, were defeated without struggle.

By the way, how do you solve the seal of a sake drinker?

"Oh, that 's--"

There, I'm not going to give you the information for free.

Hayato stops Maris from answering.

Marys looked unsure for a moment, but she remembered.

"Oh, that's right!" Jolt's speech is dangerous! "

"It's not a conversation technique, but it didn't work. No, but I wonder if you're still silent about how to start such a fun event. Hayato and the others did it, didn't they? Would you like to share your information?"

"There is no caution or gap." Is that what this is all about? "

"No, no, that's it." Hayato's bodyguard is the main order. "

"Don't try to get information at the same time--it's probably just a matter of time..."

That's what Hayato says and looks at Maris.

Maris is unlikely to be able to hide anything in the first place. You can say that the root is honest, or that you don't know what you suspect. From Hayato's point of view, it felt like I was looking at Ney a while ago.

Hayato-san, why does Surya look at me like she's sorry?

"No, Maris is about to say something."

I agree with Hayato-san.

"Oh, is that so?" Then I agree too! "

"At least I deny it."

Jolt and Viktor dotted their eyes at such an exchange between Hayato and the others.

Jolt and the other players took it for granted. Normally, I don't chat with NPCs. I rarely treat people like friends to the extent that they talk about buying or selling items or gathering information.

I know I can talk to the NPC, but I think it's AI, and even though it's not a typographical sentence, I think it's just a reaction.

Although Jolt thinks more flexibly than others, and although he has changed his awareness to some extent in the sharing of information on the floating island, he was still quite surprised by the exchange between Hayato and the others.

Is Hayato usually like this?

What is it?

"Conversation with Maris and Surya."

Hayato did not know what Jolt was saying, but realized his intention and said, "Oh," before nodding.

"That's right, it's always like this."

Somehow, I think I know why Hayato likes you.

"I wonder if she likes you...?" Although it is treasured as a supplier of deluxe cats. "

When Hayato said so molestingly, Maris smiled and shook her head.

"That's not true!" It is also used in other dishes! ”

I've had similar exchanges before, which is even worse.

No way, I'm just kidding!

Jolt and Viktor turned their attention back to an exchange that was unlikely to be an NPC.

"Ah, yes, I heard from Jolt that Hayato is making production items fast?" It can be made constantly. "

Viktor asks if it is to restore calm.

Hayato nods.

That's right. By the way, I was surprised by the dwarves in the World Tree... I didn't have to do that because of the risk, but I got it.

"Risk? What risk?"

"If you do extra things while creating an item, you risk losing the material by canceling it." If you open the menu before you finish creating an item, it will have the same result as a failure. "

Viktor was surprised and immediately looked towards Jolt. I heard the specifications for the first time, so I saw them in the sense of confirming.

Jolt nodded as he realized the meaning of his gaze.

Why is it such a specification?

It's said that if the material returns due to cancellation, you can redo it until the five-star effect appears.

When you can make five-star items, you can get a show that is full of rainbow light. Creating an item is canceled at will or when attacked by a monster, but if the material returns, it can be canceled as many times as necessary until the rainbow effect is removed.

It was said that it was a specification to prevent it from being done.

"That's why there's little point in creating a series during battle or just before the end of time." So I've wasted materials a few times. "

"...... but it's hardly there now, is it?"

I wonder if it's stained your body, or if you've lost any of its materials lately.

Viktor looked a little stunned, but Jolt laughed and heard it. Maris, Surya heard that too, and said, "Please make the cat deluxe as normal!" Maris was begging.

Walking while having such a conversation is enough, and the five of them arrive at their destination.

As Maris and Surya could see from the sky, it was a temple.

The wooden temple is almost five meters high, wide, and depth, and is still in a state of decay.

The temple should be worshipping something, and he approached the temple.

The front door has a lattice-shaped hole, but it's dark inside and you can't see it.

It may not be a good idea to open the door without permission, but I asked Benitur last night and he said he didn't know what he was doing, so he gave me permission to do whatever Hayato wanted.

"No matter what happens, don't worry, I'll get angry!"

Hayato opened the door, saying that there would be no problem. It was a huge door, but it opened immediately without any weight being felt.

"... dog?"

A dog statue, to be exact. In Hayato's knowledge, it seems to be a Japanese breed of dog, not a dog like Doberman or Siberian Husky. Probably a Shiba Inu. It is housed in a temple. It's not a cute size, it's big enough to fit in this mausoleum.

Maris and Suya peered into each of Hayato's neighbors and said, "Shiba Dog!" Maris said cheerfully, and Surya nodded.

Jolt and the others peeked into the temple, but their faces were enough to see a question mark floating in their heads.

"Are you going to offer something?" I have plates. "

As Maris pointed out, a plate was placed in front of the dog statue.

As far as I'm concerned, the development of petrochemicals is the best!

Hayato thought it would be the case of Maris, who loved animals, and put the cat Deluxe on the plate.

About a minute has passed, but nothing in particular has changed. I have tried various things to see if the offerings are different, but nothing in particular has changed.

"I wonder what is right to offer." But why are you a dog in the first place? "

When Jolt said that, Maris reacted.

"Aren't you cute!" It would be great if you could fight with me! "

"No, you can't fight with a cute dog, can you?" It might be strong if it's this big.

"Oh, that's it. You're going to fight with me."

Everyone in this room turned a strange gaze to Hayato's words.

"According to the old story, dogs, baboons and monkeys are on Kigajima." Maybe if you give us a proper offering, we'll fight together, or maybe the sake drinker will be weakened. "

The old story Hayato told is somewhat wordy, but similar. And it confirms that the story was included in the book that I thought was really needed in the castle's library. First of all, Hayato thought that there was no doubt.

The problem is what you can offer. If there's a possibility, it's all over the place. Or a peach. I don't have a peach, and I don't have any ingredients to make it.

Hayato immediately sent a voice chat to Rosé.

Rosé-san, I'm sorry for the suddenness, but where are you now?

I'm on my way to Inogashima, what's going on?

"Just in time. Actually, I have a favor to ask--"

Hayato explains the situation.

I asked you to buy me something that would be a peach and a crackling ingredient. Both were confirmed to be available in the eastern country of Asma.

Without questioning that in particular, Rosé said, "Is it necessary for the Sake Boy Crusade? I understand." The arrival at Kigajima was delayed, but I decided to buy it and head there.

I'm pretty sure, but Hayato thought he'd take a look at the other two temples. As expected, there should also be a statue of a pupa and a monkey in the temple.

I'm going to look at the other two temples just in case. Is Maris and Surya okay?

Of course I'm fine!

I'm escorting Mr. Hayato today, so there's no problem.

Hayato nodded to the two and then looked towards Jolt and the others.

Is Jolt and Viktor still okay?

Of course. Something interesting is going to happen, and it's more fun than fighting a sake drinker.

"I'm the same." It's all right. "

Alright, let's take a look around Kigajima

Hayato said that and closed the temple door before heading for the northern temple.

Hayato and the others went around the remaining two temples and saw that there was a statue of a mule and a monkey.

The players who were coming to Kigajima seemed to be attending the temple, but the stone statue in the temple showed that most people just twisted their necks and didn't know what to do.

Some of them were trying to tame the Stone Statue, so much so that Maris looked like she had it in her hand.

Some of the players seemed to know what a stone statue was, but they couldn't make a stone like Hayato and the others, so they gave up today and talked about trying it tomorrow.

It was Jolt who summarized the situation.

Imperial and Over the Top clan members had also come to the temple to check, sharing information, and then providing information to other clans who had come to explore.

I could run out without waiting until tomorrow, but it seemed like I didn't want to be able to look at the big clans in the bandit class, and the other clans also understood the schedule.

As for Hayato, he thought it would be a bad idea if nothing happened even if he offered this sacrifice, but Jolt laughed and said, "The stigma at that time will be fine because I will suffer."

As expected, that's bad, so when nothing happened, Hayato was going to tell Jolt that he had spoken. On the contrary, I didn't want to stand out when it went well, so I was going to get praise.

When it was time to work, Hayato went back to the camp and logged out.

And at night, when you log in after work and tomorrow, you'll be amazed at how many people there are.

Rose, the maid captain, Gil and the Dark Ten Knights, and a growing number of strangers. The woman guessed that it was Zenobia Beilot, the demon Nay had spoken about yesterday.

Thinking that the number of people had increased a lot, Hayato thought of saying hello first, and approached Rose and the maid. There seemed to be Sha nearby, and the three of them were talking.

Esha noticed Hayato before she could speak.

"Master, please tell the two of you." Esha is the best maid ever. "

"I won't flatter you, but I won't even threaten you with a gun." But why again? "

"I'm just playing with chocolate parfait anyway." I'm hurt, so I'd like a chocolate parfait. "

Hayato was wrong to expect Esha to do the maid's job in the first place, but she thinks she's the best maid she can do. Besides, in reality, I'm doing a good job, and the real Esha is doing a good job. Sometimes I don't do it so badly that I have trouble seeing it in front of me.

We decided to follow it in consideration of that.

"Esha is doing her best." And even if you don't have the skills of a maid, you're still strong enough to write it off. "

Although Esha was slightly dissatisfied with the assessment, Rose and the maid seemed to agree.

After such a conversation, he exchanges greetings with the two of them.

Hayato-sama, I put the materials I brought from the base in the warehouse. The ingredients and peaches are added in the same way, so please check later. "

"Thank you, Mr. Rose. It's very helpful."

They brought me lots of ingredients for cooking and making medicine, so I held them until the end of the Sake Brewing Kid Crusade. Nay and the others were in the mines during the Sake Drinking Boy Crusade, but they were in trouble because they couldn't dig for a day's worth of ore, so Hayato was helpful.

“And the store has stock, but all the consumables have been sold out. There is no food or medicine left.”

"Well, I can't help it." But I wonder what my neighbor wanted to do. I thought it would be a rival story if I sold it at a 30% discount, but in the end, it only contributed to my sales. I'm out of stock, though. "

The maid stared at Hayato as she said, "That's right."

"My neighbour's clan has been found to be under the shooting star's umbrella."

Oh, I knew it.

Hayato had asked the Maid Guild to investigate the shooting stars. The maid seemed to bring a report of the findings and decided to listen to the results.

The Shooting Star was a clan that had grown in size recently, and its base was in the Demon Kingdom. It was a clan that had huge sums of money and was using them to make acquisitions.

Currently, there are about fifteen clans under his umbrella, which is a clan of 150 people. The leader's name is Harrington. Few appear in the front, and the butler girl Ronios and the maid Clemola move under Harrington's direction.

The source of the funds is unknown. It is said in the commentary that I got some unbelievable rare item and sold it to a major clan, but I am not sure.

That's all the information, but Hayato had something to worry about.

Is it based in the Demon Kingdom?

"I thought I'd get to that question, so I looked it up." That said, I just asked Lunaria and Rosalie, the demon king. "

To build a base in the Demon Kingdom, you need to get along with the Demons, the Undead, or the NPCs who live in the Demon Kingdom like a mist. It was a specification that players could not build bases in the Demon Kingdom on their own.

The maid confirmed to Lunaria and Rosalie that at least the Demon King's army had never allowed anyone to build a base. In addition, I have not received any such reports from the inhabitants of the Demon Kingdom.

The possibility is that the people who originally lived in the Demon Kingdom are renting out the place as a base.

"Is it the lender..."

Actually, I asked Lunaria-sama and Rosalie-sama if they had any thoughts.

Could it be that you two knew each other?

"Both of you looked rather disgusted and didn't answer anything." I thought there was something wrong, so I didn't force myself to ask, and the scene dropped. "

"Those two?"

It is fair to say that the two of them show disgust. Hayato has a fair relationship with both of them. I can't imagine the two of them making such a face from their image so far.

Although both of them are emotionally rich, Hayato thinks that they are not the type to show their disgust that they don't want to talk.

Rosalie and the others used to hate the Gilles and sometimes showed disgust, but they weren't talking about it, they were just more shy about talking about their muscles.

Lunaria also seemed to dislike the brave Ivan, but she didn't hate him that much because she was persistent.

Considering that, it seemed that the two people who knew each other were very much disliked.

I guess it's because I thought the exiled demon was involved.

Gil-san.

Gil, the leader of the Dark Ten Knights, came up to me and said something like that.

As usual, it was a huge giant, but now it was not wearing armor, and it was normal without covering its strong side with a helm. He was smiling at Hayato with his face.

"Lord Hayato, it's a pleasure to fight with you again." Thank you for calling me. "

“No, thank you for being here and far away.”

"It is said that Lunaria-sama called me, but thanks to Hayato-sama, I had a pleasant boat trip with the maid and Rosé-sama. It could have been a little farther away."

I heard a voice from the maid's head saying "kun", but I ignored it and asked Gil a question.

By the way, did you say the exiled demon?

"Hmm. There are nine people who call themselves demons, but one of them does not recognize Lunaria as a demon king. He said that he is a demon king, and he tried to fight a battle and was defeated and banished." Her personality was ferocious, and she had a lot of trouble before Lunaria became the Demon King. "

Gilles, the Dark Ten Knights went to the Demon King's Castle and joined the Demon King's army. However, the information was shared, and there was a rule that if they attacked the Demon King's Castle, they should defeat it mercilessly.

"Is that what happened?" But were you talking about admitting or not admitting to the demon king? "

It was just a setting, but it was a way of awakening both the Hero and the Demon King, and it wasn't something that needed someone's permission. Speaking of which, I'm sure I'll need the permission of my supervisor, Daté.

"I heard that it was a rival relationship with Lunaria-sama. That's probably why I wanted to recognize Lunaria-sama as the Demon King."

"... is it like jealousy?"

"When I say that, I don't have a lid or a body, but I guess so." As a result, they took the treasure from the treasure chest and left after a rampage at the Demon King's Castle. That's why we don't welcome the topic of exiled demons in the Demon King's army. "

"Is that so?" By the way, can I ask your name? "

“A woman named Amanda Stellaat. I heard that he was with Lunaria-sama before he became a demon king. I don't think we knew each other until we formed a clan together."

“Okay, I'll be careful with people with that name. It could be that they're involved.”

"That's when it happened." If that happens, you can count on the Demon King's army to be on Lord Hayato's side at all costs. "

Hayato bowed his head, saying, "Please at that time."

After that, Gilles greeted Ash and the others. Rosé and the maid took Esha around to say hello, and Hayato was left alone.

Hayato decided to go nearby to greet Zenobia Beilot, the first demon to meet her.

Zenobia began with Lunaria, and there were many women, such as members of the Black Rose, and Hayato was slightly pulled back, but even though the contents were real, it was said that this was a virtual reality.

"Nice to meet you. I'm with Hayato--"

Giggle!

When Hayato called from behind, the woman thought to be Zenobia shouted and immediately hid on Lunaria's back. And he groaned at Hayato. Eyesight is not the only thing.

It was a reminder of when Lunaria hid behind Escha at the base. It hurts quite a bit. I felt like I knew how Ivan felt when he did the same thing to Lunaria.

Thinking that something bad had been done, the black rose members gathered around Lunaria and Zenobia and formed a protective formation. At its heart, Lunaria is trying to calm Zenobia down.

"I did something...?"

Rosalier shook his head sideways as he approached Hayato.

"No, it's not Hayato's fault, but Zenobia-sama is male phobic." You must have been surprised by the sudden call. Please let me know in advance when you are going to speak to me. I have a way of organizing my feelings, so about an hour ago. "

Is that the only person in the Demon King's army?

Lunaria was an interpersonal phobia in the first place. When you get used to it, you feel like you're coming, but you're basically afraid of others. And Zenobia seems to be scared of men. As for Hayato, I was worried about the Demon King's army because I was a little worried about Amanda.

“What kind of person is that? I think it will be okay if you get used to it, but I think that if you talk to her for a while, she will take that kind of action. Or the infinite combo will burst, so you should be careful."

"I see, I just wanted to say hello - Infinite Combo...?"

"This is Lady Zenobia's Special Attack that keeps attacking until the opponent is defeated." It seems that the conditions are severe, but once it is decided, we will strike the opponent with a series of attacks that will not cause it to counterattack. "

If I were you, I wouldn't be a combo because I'd be defeated with a single blow.

I don't want to be molested, though.

(It's an infinite combo. I think there was such a thing as a melee game, but it's a special attack...?)

With that in mind, Hayato sees Zenobia breathing deeply with Lunaria, protected by members of the Black Rose.

Zenobia, like Noato, is a small woman, a little as tall as a hundred and fifty. I have dark green hair that is short, but it is blurry and does not look like I am taking care of it.

The dress was wearing a hooded poncho coat that was hidden to the knee, and the collar was standing and the mouth was hidden. The colour is as dark green as the hair, and the more likely it is to become a camouflage and become invisible in the forest.

Both hands were equipped with large, silver hands that could not be hidden by a poncho coat, and their legs were bare for some reason.

When Zenobia finished taking a deep breath, she looked toward Hayato, but when her eyes met Hayato, they immediately hid on Lunaria's back. And I said something to Lunaria as I groaned at Hayato.

“My name is Zenobia, and I want to thank you for having my room ready.”

That's what Lunaria said. I presume that Zenobia's words are interpreted or conveyed instead. Although the content and facial expression did not match, Hayato smiled at Zenobia, saying, "You are welcome."

"Please don't hesitate to let me know if there is any inconvenience." Oh, before I do, I'm Hayato. "

Zenobia hid behind Lunaria and scolded Hayato even more, but nodded in relief.

(You can communicate if you mediate with someone.)

For a while I thought about it, my surroundings were rough.

Huh? What?

"Master Zenobia had a conversation with the man I met today..."

When Rosalier said so, the black rose members, as well as Lunaria, looked at Hayato in amazement.

As for Hayato, it was an exchange that seemed like a questionable conversation, but it was still a surprise response.

Zenobia tells Lunaria something.

"She said she liked the interior of the room. The food is also delicious - they even said to give the Devil King the best dessert."

"You didn't say the last word, did you?" I wish you liked it. If you want to eat something, don't hesitate to say so. "

Zenobia's face turned dazzling for a moment, but she stopped shouting and tried to make a smile. Although he has a rather clumsy expression, his efforts are appreciated.

I was even more surprised that the surroundings were so unusual for Hayato.

Perhaps it would be just right for Zenobia to be harmless to Hayato's animals.

Rosalie-san, let me tell you something. Harmless animals aren't a compliment.

I was going to send you the finest praise?

Thinking that it was true, Hayato smiled again and then left the scene, thinking that he might be burdened by Zenobia's presence nearby.

After that, Hayato gathered information about the afternoon battle with the sake drinker, and then checked the materials that Rosé brought with him, and began making a lot of weapons during the maintenance.
