Another Frontier Online

The battle with the sake drinker also entered its fourth day.

Sometimes you can only fight for a week, so it's almost halfway there, but so far it's done about 30% of the damage.

There was an atmosphere that could not be defeated as it was, but there was a sense of expectation that something would happen today based on information from major clans such as Bandit.

The three temples found on Kigashima Island were adorned with statues of dogs, mackerels, and monkeys. From Hayato's speculation that they would fight together by supplying peaches, each temple was supposed to implement it.

In the northern shrine, over-the-top, in the eastern shrine, imperial, and in the western shrine, Bandit and Hayato were in charge. Hayato has prepared five stars for you. I handed over the peaches to the clan that came early in the morning, and each of them went into place.

There was no reason to do it at the same time, but it was in the form of a Keith suggestion that "you're more interesting."

Hayato is quite relieved to think that if nothing happens now, it won't work.

That's because Ditete is more nicky than usual. Spoilers aren't good, but there's no doubt that something is going to happen because of the look of spoilers on my face.

It was the scheduled time.

Jolt says, "Shouldn't Hayato do this? And said, and offered him a bowl of rice on a plate in front of the stone statue of the dog.

Immediately after I thought that nothing would happen, I heard a sound like a rumble on the ground, and the dog stone cracked in. The bright light overflowed from the gap of the crack, making it impossible to open the eyes.

When the light subsided, there was a dog in the same shape as a stone statue. And eat the dried chicken on the plate.

The dog looked towards Hayato and said, "It's delicious." Then he howled, "Aoan." Then he ran away. Towards the foot of the mountain where the sake drinker was.

I had predicted it to some extent, but it was too good to be true, so everyone here was in a hurry.

"Ah! I forgot to tame you!"

Maris, who had come to escort Hayato, said that.

"I don't think that dog can tame you."

"If you show the five stars during Taim, you may be able to do something about it!" Mass production, please! "

"Huh...?"

Jolt spoke to Hayato and the others when they were talking about it.

"It looks like the northern and eastern temples are in a similar situation." Both clans contacted me. "

"That means there might be a change in the fight with the sake drinker." Let's go and see what we can do. "

When Hayato said that, everyone nodded and decided to hurry over.

Three dogs, a pup and a monkey were involved in the battle against the sake drinker.

Dogs use physical attacks, monkeys use magic attacks, and tortoiseshells use supporting magic. Of particular note was the special ability to deal five times more damage to the demon with the support magic of the urn.

With that support, the players are dealing more damage than usual. The child's HP had already been cut by half, and this situation was likely to be settled by this morning.

Some time after the arrival of the Hayatoes, Esha approached.

"It looks like it's happening as expected." As expected of a dog. "

"Isn't that me?" But thanks to you, I feel safe. Besides, with this, Esha's Destroy also takes five times as much damage, so she'll be able to win by today. "

"What do you do when you hit a dog?" The Destroyer will be sealed. ”

"... well, that's fine." Lunaria-san and the others are doing it. "

Lunaria had already had the Black Swan activated, creating an effect that left the sword in a black orbit. If the tension is rising, there is no need to worry about interpersonal phobia.

Rather than working well with Benituru, Benituru stood around making Lunaria easy to attack. It is dedicated to creating a situation that is easy to attack Lunaria without attacking the sake drinker, and although it has done little damage, Lunaria has been attacking vigorously.

The gills that arrived yesterday were in the battle, and they were doing a great job as shields. Take Knockback's range of attacks unnoticed and never allow others to reach you.

It was a sight that made me wonder what kind of shield it was to catch a range attack, but I was more impressed than wondering whether it was Hayato, the surrounding players, or the Demon King's army.

Zenobia's attack caught my eye.

Yesterday, when I saw it in the Mansion, I was barefoot, but I took it off because it was a sitting area. It is now equipped with a silver glove similar to an arm, with acrobatic attacks from both hands and feet.

Some members of the black rose guarded their surroundings to keep men away, but Zenobia was also noticed for other things. My Weapon Skill didn't stop.

Hayato heard about it yesterday, but Zenobia can continue to use her melee Weapon Ability without any cool time.

You can't use the same Weapon Skill in a row. After you use it, you must hit it within one second. Once the attack is interrupted, you will need more than four times the cool time. There are also conditions and disadvantages such as lowering your attack power, but if you meet them, you will be able to use your moves again and again.

It seems that the shrinking area of instantaneous movement can also be incorporated into continuous attacks and evasions, so it is said that no one can be beaten in a one-to-one interpersonal match. If the opponent is not a man, the condition is attached.

(Is that Infinite Combo? It seemed like a light blow, but since it was attacking in a row, the amount of damage in time was considerable. It seems that the maid is a heavy attack... but now she's just looking happy behind Gill)

The maids-in-chief and Rosé were in the fight, but they didn't attack. What they were doing was supporting Gill. I used potions and so on to help me recover.

Ney, Cecil, and Ash's group of Genesis Dragons were also doing their best, but from the viewpoint of the Demon King's army, they were somewhat inferior in numbers. That said, it is much more valuable than other big clans.

Even in such a situation, the child's HP was visibly reduced quickly. Hayato was certain that it would be settled in the morning.

Apart from that, there is something that bothers me.

Some time after they arrived on the battlefield, Jolt and Viktor stayed with the Hayatoes. For some reason, I just cared about my surroundings, and I didn't seem to be interested in the sake drinker.

Are the Jolts not going to fight?

"I'm thinking of not doing it this time." I've been taught how to do it, and next time I'll be organizing a crusade against the sake drinker. "

Hayato taught how to lift the seal of the sake drinking child on the condition that he would use the bandit as a cover so that he would not notice when nothing happened or when it worked.

Hayato thinks that Bandit will be able to hold the event without much time, although it may not be going to happen immediately, as it will be necessary to browse the screens of the white tiger and the library.

"Besides, if you defeat the drinking boy, the shooting star will become entangled in Hayato during the fuss." I prioritize the guards. "

"By the way, I don't have any particular contact." Even if Alvy gets along with Noat and is taken away with each futon, that might be the effect. ”

They were still singing together on the battlefield, and they had a support effect all around them. It's a pain to be taken away, but it's not something I care about.

Once, there was a story of Noato being picked up by the "Kiss of Death", but Noato refused because "the five-star donut is not there". I had a little grudge against Alvy, and it was mentally tight to be seen with his eyes, but that would be about it.

"I wonder what you're thinking. I've been monitoring other big clans that are about to become enemies, but they haven't moved yet. It seems like you want to fight the Hayato and the others.

I'm glad I beat Bandit, but it's been a lot of trouble.

"Think of it as a famous tax and give it up." If there was an event like a clan war where players could fight each other, it would be solved all at once. "

I've heard from Daté that only in Clan Wars are there any interpersonal fights between players, so there are quite a few requests for operation.

According to Daté, he was thinking about it, and was planning to hold events like the Clan War. At the same time, it seems that we are considering increasing the number of clan members.

"There are more new people, and I'm thinking about large-scale battles between clans at this next event, but it's a lot harder to adjust." I'm collecting data for that purpose, but it will take a little longer. "

That's what Ditte said.

We are collecting data for passing to Infinity, an autonomous, scalable program, but it is not yet in place, and once it is in place, the program is further scaled and finally runs as an event.

The Monster Seal Atlas, an ongoing event, seems to be part of the data collection, and it will take time, but Hayato expects a major update next time.

When I remembered that, my child's HP was very low. I can think of all the hardships I've had so far, and if I knew about the temple, I would be able to defeat it for a day.

I could see Daite in the distance, but I was disappointed unlike Nikon's face in the morning. Still, recovery support is not lacking, but the tension is clearly falling.

(I guess the help character was too strong...)

Sometimes it was the first event, and Hayato speculated that Diete had made an adjustment mistake. The brave Ivan imitates a test player, but this Raid Boss fight was a real hit.

Next, I thought that the performance of the help character might be weakened, so I ran out of the Sake Brewing Kid's HP bar.

At the same time, the drinking child kneels down. When I roared toward the sky, my head turned into particles of light and eventually disappeared.

After a moment of silence, everyone chanted victory. And we are celebrating each other's hard work and saying "hello".

Of course, that's not the end of it. Immediately, tons of drop items were placed in the participant's Item Bag.

When this kind of large-scale battle is over, it is usual to boast about rare drops or garbage drops, and the festive atmosphere continues with the claim that you have acquired such items.

In Hayato's ear, he said, "Here comes the hyenas!" What is ink and brush?! "" It's hard to equip a demon's waistband! "I heard a pleasant voice.

It is said that the rarity of the items dropped depends on the contribution, so Hayato thought that he would not get much, but he tried to check his item bag.

But before that, the announcement resounded.

"We have successfully crushed the sake drinker." Achievement unlocks the ability to break the stat cap and skill cap. Visit our help page for more information. Repeat - ”

The players heard that it was the usual announcement, but they heard something suspicious. The next announcement stopped reporting the drop items and listened.

The announcement resounded once again on the quiet Kimegashima Island.

"We have successfully crushed the sake drinker." Achievement unlocks the ability to break the stat cap and skill cap. Visit our help page for more information. ”

(C 'mon, seriously)

Shortly after Hayato thought so, there was a bigger outcry than when he crushed the sake drinker. Hayato covers his ears with both hands because it is louder than when Noat screamed.

Drop items are also fascinating, but it will be darker once the new system is unlocked. It's a good level to say that the big update suddenly came through.

The skill limit was originally broken by Esha, so it was systematically used before, but it was unexpected that it could be used as a reward in this fight.

(Diete is looking at me. I think he wanted to see a surprised face.)

Hayato, who had decided to do so, said, "I'm surprised." He did not utter a voice, but just said it in the form of a mouth. It was a disappointing date during the battle, but it seemed like a smile had returned.

"What are you doing like lovers?"

"What are you talking about?"

Hayato reacts to Esha's words, but I wonder if this is what lovers do, and I didn't do it with that idea.

Well, that's fine, but Master, please unlock your culinary skills.

Of course, I'm going to unlock all my other production skills as well.

“I'm not looking at the help page, but it can be tricky.”

What do you mean?

"It just means that you can't unlock it with a cap. Maybe I should sacrifice something like my negative skills. I think the disadvantages are quite intense. Rather, I would protest if I could release the ceiling normally.”

Hayato thought, "Certainly."

Since Esha's animal training skills are negative, she is also attacked by animals and monsters that are not otherwise hostile, and her sewing skills decrease with the passage of time. Rather than cooking, it was at the level of creating monsters.

The advantage of releasing the cap should also receive a proportionate disadvantage. Given that, we speculated that releasing all production skills would have considerable disadvantages.

(I don't need combat skills, and I don't need negative skills, but I don't know how much disadvantage there is.)

Hayato thinks positively that it is one of the flavors of thinking about it.

Since the excitement in the vicinity did not cool down, I went back to the camping site and tried to think about a lot of things, so I got a voice chat at the end of the arrow. The opponent was Simon, so I immediately gave him permission.

"Hey, Simon. The demon has disappeared too-"

"Hayato! Take everyone back to Asma's Mansion!"

Huh? What's wrong?

"The Mansion is under attack!" It's unlikely that they'll hold it by themselves! "

Is there still a demon?

"No! Somehow people from the Western lands are surrounding the Mansion!"

"Why would I do that...?" No way... but...? "

Shooting stars come to Hayato's mind. But there was no one in the Mansion. Hayato had no idea why he was attacking the Mansion.

(No, wait...? That's right, I was asking for an escort! You're not going to kidnap me!)

"Simon! I'll be right back, so please bear with me!"

After that, I cut the voice chat with Simon, and now I'll send everyone a voice chat.

"Everyone! Let's go back to Asma's Mansion!" Siegfried and the others are in danger! "

After explaining the situation to everyone, Hayato immediately withdrew the camp and headed from Onigashima to Azuma.

I use my own airship because I can't afford to wait for a fisherman's boat. Still, it took a lot of time, so Hayato calmed down while repairing everyone's armor.

I can say that it was a bad result that Hayato became too angry or impatient. Because everyone who heard about the situation, even if they were allies, showed so much anger that they felt fear. Without calm people, you can't solve problems.

Maris, the owner of Siegfried and Max, is just frozen, and Surya says calm down, but the other members are different. Everyone was deeply and quietly angry.

Esha repeated the action of swinging the bell saves and then aiming. Ren also took out the Walla doll and five nuggets and said bumps. Cecil and Noato have the same number of mouths, and now they have fewer mouths.

Ash and the others are relieved to some extent because they know the reality, but they said that they can't forgive the act itself and that they would be sorry if they didn't burst out.

Nay and the others seem to think it's an unforgivable act, even though they know it's a game, and they're pretty angry.

Lunaria had also gathered Black Rose, Black Knight, and Zenobia to talk about something, but instead of her usual smile, she had a rather steep face.

Benituru doesn't smile at all, but meditates sitting kneeling on a cushion he has prepared.

The maid and Rosé are normal, but I'm scared of the opposite. I encourage you to stay close to Maris, just like Surya, but I have asked Hayato to maintain the weaponry.

Seeing that, Jolt approached Hayato, who was trying to calm down a bit.

They asked me to ride with them. It was troublesome, but I was wasting my time refusing, so I immediately put it on. Viktor is with him, but he seems to be sending a voice chat somewhere, and he's having a conversation a little further away.

"I didn't expect you to come with this kind of hand." When it comes to effectiveness, it's effective. "

"Is it effective? Could it be that you're praising the other person?" Then can you jump off the boat? Because it's in the way. "

Hayato said so in a low voice. I'm trying to be cool, but I'm just trying to be cool. There is anger.

Jolt shook his head to the side in a panic.

"No, no, no, I don't mean that. I'm not praising you, I'm shocked. I didn't think you were stupid. I will fully cooperate with Hayato and the others, and I have to complain directly to them."

"Directly...? Could it be that Jolt knows the leader of the opponent?"

Well, I know that.

“Can I voice chat?”

For once.

"Well, before I go under the clan's umbrella or something, can you tell me that I don't think I can do this for free?"

"... well, that's right. Even though it's a game, it's impossible to keep a pet hostage and be one of them. They didn't prove their strength by being friends, they fought and won. When this happens, I think you can crush it with all your might."

"Even if it ends in an attempt, I'm going to make sure I can't do this again, so please tell me that." I can't fight, but I can't hold them back. "

Jolt looks around. She quietly looked at the angry NPCs and pulled their faces.

I'll tell you that as well.

Jolt said so and headed towards Viktor.

Now that you're alone, Ditte's here.

Hayato-kun, can I have a moment?

Maybe Ditte can do something about it?

Daté's rather troubled face - she lowered her head after making an apologetic face.

“I'm sorry, I can't do anything right now.”

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm the one who created the cause in the first place, so don't worry about it that much."

"I'm the one who let Hayato-kun do that." I'm really sorry. "

Hayato's AI Kill is limiting Daté's ability. Even today, flying imitations are possible, but complicated settings that directly interfere with existing systems are not.

It was said that if the event was involved in this case, it was still something that could be done, but that the players could not intervene in what they were doing.

I have just received the explanation. There's something else going on, and I don't really want to hear about it, but Dat is paying attention to her surroundings.

Did you confirm that there was no problem? I opened my mouth with a serious face.

"There is something I want you to know, Mr. Hayato." I never tried to hide it, but I never said I didn't have a chance. "

I've been worrying about my surroundings for a while, but can't I tell everyone?

If you're a member who knows the real world, there's no problem, but there's something complicated about this, so I just want to tell Hayato about it first.

“Okay, so what are we talking about?”

"Zeke, I'm talking about you."

“You mean Zeke?”

Hayato beat out a little. I didn't try to hide it and there was a problem, so I thought there was something about the shooting star.

"What if I told you, Zeke, if you ever get kidnapped, I want you to help me out today."

"I'm going to, but why again?"

I have a job at the coffee shop in the afternoon, but I'm going to rest if I get kidnapped. I don't think I can do anything where I am, but I am concerned that I can't get a job.

This is virtual reality. Siegfried's abduction does not affect reality, but Maris lives to see it as a reality. Then Siegfried is a reality for Maris. It is Hayato's idea that we cannot leave it alone.

However, I don't know why Datte asked for it directly. Hayato urges Diete to explain the reason.

“If I were to kidnap Siegfried, I'd use the items he used to poach and traffic animals. That's a little dangerous for you, Zeke."

I'm not sure, but the items that were used in poaching and drug trafficking were used by the organization that destroyed Maris?

There was a time when Maris was too busy to come to the base. Hayato said he was doing a lot to destroy the organization that poached and trafficked animals. The organization itself was devastated, but I also heard that some of them had been missed.

“That's right, and the item that was used at that time is called the 'Cage of Disharmony', which means you can steal someone else's pet.”

"I have a lot to say, but why do you have such an item?"

"I want you to think of it as similar to a stealing skill." Since we're setting things up so close to reality, so-called criminal activity is also possible in this virtual reality. That said, instead of stealing in an instant like a stealing skill, your trust with your pet extends your master's contract for up to a week. If you cut it out, you can transfer it and buy or sell it. "

"Oh my God, that means we have a week to spare." I'm not going to make it that long, though. "

Maris and Siegfried should have the highest level of trust. Then the maximum period is one week. It didn't take me long, but I was grateful for the extra time.

As it should have been, Diete shook her head to the side.

Zeke, you're different.

"No? Low level of trust?"

"That's not true." Siegfried will sincerely trust you, Maris. [M] There's no doubt about it, but-- "

After saying that, Diete shrugged. I feel hesitant because my teeth are cut badly.

"Ditte-chan. It's been weird for a while, but is there something difficult to say?" I don't care what you say, so can you just come to a conclusion? What's so dangerous about Zeke? "

Daté has been talking about it for a while now, but continues to explain it in a distant way. I don't know if you don't want to say much, or if you don't want to be known, but obviously you don't want to conclude.

I can say it's human, but I can't afford to have that kind of conversation right now. If Siegfried is in danger of being taken, you should know why immediately.

In Hayato's gaze, Diete shook her head in a vertical motion.

"That's right, you have to say it properly." It was hard to say because I don't know what you think, but I decided to be prepared. "

Diete stared at Hayato again after she had cut her words there once.

"First of all, there is something I want you to know as a prerequisite. Simply put, Siegfried, you're real."

Hayato bends his head. I didn't quite understand what Daté was saying.

"Really? You mean there's a fake?"

"No, I'm not."

Ditte shakes her head to the side as she says so. And stared at Hayato.

“It means that a real trilobic cat is logged into this virtual reality on spaceship Aphrodite. In fact, Siegfried was the first test player to log into this world."

"... eh?"

A rare voice of surprise rose from Hayato, drawing everyone's attention.
