Another Frontier Online
The man who made AI laugh.
The battle with the former assassin's guild ended with Cecil's victory.
And Zach, the organizer, said, "Well, you know, I was told it's okay for the state to sponsor this!" He was delighted.
Hayato and the others didn't know, but it looks like a great man from the kingdom was coming to see it, and he was checking on the situation. He doesn't seem to play in the betting game, but he says attracting customers and serving food make him a lot of money.
Anyway, Cecil got the Assassin Series of the winning prize, but he said, "I don't want to use it," and pressed it against Hayato.
After losing, the sloth disappeared somewhere, and after that, I couldn't make contact. Likewise, the ox of the clan "Rampage" seemed to be immediately logged out at the time of the defeat and was nowhere to be found.
And Lutz, who had lost to Nanagi, said, "I haven't had enough training yet," and immediately headed to the hunting ground. Agress, who had also lost, was encouraged by Ash and Ren.
It was a harvest day, but it seemed a little creepy because the enemy, including the locusts, was preparing for it.
We can't afford to lose, either, so Hayato returns to the base to spend the rest of his time improving his skills.
The next day, a surprised voice rose from the base of Hayato.
What? Do you want me to teach you swordsmanship?
Benituru, who had been coming to see Lunaria since the morning at the base cafeteria, raised his voice in surprise, and next to him, Simon opened his eyes wide.
I wanted to teach you swordsmanship, and that's what Aggres said. Agres, who logged in at about the same time as Hayato and Ash, asked Benitzur to lower his head.
The sword technique of the Holy Demon Ten Swords was taught by Benitzur. Even if you want to teach swordsmanship, it doesn't mean that you want to learn it, but that you want to acquire the knowledge to fight next time.
This was influenced by Cecil's victory over Nanagi.
Cecil plays a lot of mock battles with Simon. Nanagi's last kick. It was because of the simulation that I was able to win. It was also one of the attacks that Benitur taught the Holy Demon Ten Swords, which Simon used in the simulated battle.
"Even if you know about the burn blade, it's quite different if you don't know it." And I'm done losing to the Holy Demon Ten Swords. Please. "
Agres said that and lowered his head again.
I'll take care of it, too.
Ash, who was listening to it, bowed his head beside Aggrez.
Benitul looked at the two of them and began to shudder.
"Such good temper!" Oh, it's like that! I'll teach you the secret! "
Princess, have you been taught anything like that?
"I said it with a bit of a snap, but that's how it feels!" Anyway, what about the housewives!? It's free! It's free! "
"No, it doesn't make sense even if I teach you..."
Hayato can't fight. I used to be unable to fight, but now the negative disadvantages of my abilities are fierce, and I can be defeated with just a few hits.
I don't think that Hayato will be on the battlefield at the Conflict event. We will go to a territory where there will be battles, but backup is more important than ever.
I don't want to play mock battles, but I want you to know my swordsmanship by knowledge alone.
Well, then. I'm listening and improving my skills, okay?
It looks like a good idea!
All right, I'll take care of it.
Yeah! Now, call me Master!
I'd like to make you say "Master", but you're not involved in this--Would you like to take a good look at this?
”Ahh, Hayato, can you admire me as a sister and disciple?”
"And Simon..."
This is how Benitzur's swordsmanship guide is about to begin.
But there was a problem. Everyone turned their attention to the problem.
Lunaria opens the door that leads to the store a little and looks at us from the gap. If you express that expression in words, it's "I'm trying to mix it up very much."
And from that gap, not only Lunaria, but also Zenobia, looked over her face. This is a face that says, "I'm a little interested."
How about Lunaria and Zenobia?
When Hayato said so, Lunaria opened the door and entered the cafeteria.
"Hmm, if you say that, you can't do it."
I didn't think everyone said that, but nobody said anything about Lunaria being that type.
And Zenobia stares at us with her face half covered.
"Well, what about Zenobia...?"
"Zenobia-chan feels that there are three men in this room and they can't get close. But I'm doing my best. I'm doing my best."
That's what Lunaria said to defend Zenobia.
Zenobia is male phobia. I was used to greeting Hayato, but Ash and Aggrez still needed time.
"Zenobia-chan, it's okay. There are only two handsome men and a normal man in this room." You don't have to be scared. "
"It's good to have three men, isn't it?" Can you give me a breakdown of what's good-looking and what's normal? "
"I can't say anything for Mr. Hayato. The Demon King can read the air. This is an atmosphere you shouldn't say."
"I already said that."
Both Ash and Aggres were handsome. The direction is different, it can be divided into refreshing sportsmen and wilds, but it is definitely handsome. And Hayato is normal. I know that very well.
I know, but I'm sad.
"Ha, Hayato-san is not a handsome man, but I think he is a kind person." Something like this, it doesn't feel safe at all..... "
Zenobia said that while hiding. Even though it's a virtual space, I feel a little hyperventilated.
It wasn't a bad evaluation, but Hayato was a bit dull when he was clearly told that he wasn't handsome.
"Ah, I see. It feels like a neighborhood elder brother who's away. He's not handsome, but he's super sweet!"
And Benituru says,
"I think you have strength as well as kindness." It's definitely not handsome, but I think that's a good idea. "
said Simon.
"I'm not a handsome guy, but I've had you protect me from Rosalie's scolding, so I'm gentle with you."
And Lunaria said that in a toilet.
"Can you either praise me or do me a favor?" Well, don't compare handsome handsome to Ash or Aggres. "
"Come on, it's better to be praised from the inside than the outside." Could it be just my face or Ash's face? "
"Why do I still feel like I've lost...?"
"It's not about winning or losing." From my point of view, Hayato is more envious of the inner unseen. Hey, Ash? "
"That's right. Ren admires Hayato and seems envious." Recently, Ren's guy has been tough on me, and there's no Delicacy... "
Hayato reconsiders whether it is a story that feels completely different, but doesn't need to be depressed.
And I finally remembered what I was talking about in the first place.
Whether Zenobia will hear about Benitzur's swordsmanship.
"Well, I'll put the story back together, but is it okay to ask Zenobia where she is?" Shall we go a little further away? "
”Hey, it's okay... I'll calm down here”
"Well, then, if you want to come in, just say so." The men are moving. Well then, Benny-chan--Master, please. "
When Hayato said that, Benituru smiled and said, "Okay!” he said cheerfully.
And after taking a deep breath, you'll have a serious face.
"In a nutshell, my genre is countercenter swordsmanship." In difficult terms, it's a bit later, but it's like attacking the opponent in line with the attack. "
Benitzur says that he is most defenseless when he is trying to attack, and if he can attack there, he will not be attacked.
And it seemed that it was difficult to know how to let the opponent attack, so it was important to create a gap.
"When you're about my age, you'll be able to manipulate where the opponent is going to attack!" It's impossible to talk about a monster in an interpersonal fight.
Huh? Really?
"The stronger the opponent, the stronger it is!" I think it is easier to get into trouble than people who know the eye line and body movements properly. Rather, it might not work for Hayachi. "
I'm not very happy about that, but is that it?
"Also, it's impossible for someone like Luna to attack like that." It doesn't matter what the opponent does, I always feel like I'm deciding to attack based on the mood of the day..... "
"Fufu, when there was a carrot for breakfast, I slashed it with my first hand. If there is celery, I will do my best from the beginning to relieve the stress. When there were strawberries, it was kind of gentle."
"Ah, yes. As expected, I don't know what to do with my swordsmanship or breakfast... so I totally ignore my fine movements..."
For some reason everyone felt sympathy for Benituru, but he continued to explain with a smile why Benituru had regained consciousness.
"Well, that's fine, but if you're dealing with Nanagi, obviously you should consider it the most dangerous when you lose your posture." Not as much as I am, but there are plenty of ways to get them to attack! ”
"I see. I feel rushed because I didn't hit Nanagi yesterday." I went to the place where I thought I had collapsed a bit, and when I got hit, I immediately ate the counter. "
"That's right, that's how you fight when you learn my swordsmanship." It's just that Simon..... "
That's what Benitzur said, turning his pity gaze to Simon.
Simon wrinkled his eyebrows, but nodded, "Umu."
"I know. Shouldn't we wait a little longer?" However, Tsubaki is not good at waiting. "
"In Simon's case, it's a discarded assault, not the next one. Even if you get slashed, it feels like you'll be slashed twice back, and it's the exact opposite of my teachings. It seems like Cecil and I could wait a little bit in the simulated battle.
"I don't have to wait for that, Lord Cecil has a lot of work to do, so I have to take it all the time." That's why I was able to show off my kicking skills after losing my posture. Well, I'm glad it helped, but- "
Simon said so much, then roared with his arms crossed.
"I can't believe Nanagi is in the tournament." I don't know if it was a skill upgrade or if I wanted the Assassin Series equipment, but I should have also participated. "
“Then maybe it's both. Rosalie told me."
Lunaria heard from Rosalier that the demons were collecting rare items, so they went to the dungeon and defeated rare monsters.
At first, I thought I was doing it to improve my skills, but I brought it back without throwing away the drop items. I had to kill it several times before I could switch targets to another rare monster.
It was only Rosalie's prediction, but if a rare item was dropped, it might be targeting another monster.
It's possible to interrupt a battle, but that doesn't make us stronger. You can't steal drop items, and once or twice you interfere with a monster's right of possession, you can't do it all.
For that reason, Rosalie, Gill, and Ney decided not to get in the way, but to go to the dungeons and fight against rare monsters to start collecting rare items.
He said, "I'm going to bring you a lot of materials, so I'm going to ask Mr. Hayato to make a lot of production items."
“Of course, I'll make anything, so I'd like you to bring a lot of it.”
Materials for production items can be bought for money, but they are not infinite. It also consumes a large amount of cloth and ore for the maintenance of armor. Hayato would be grateful if you could bring a large number of them.
(This tournament got in the way, but this happened to be a coincidence. It's important to know how strong you can be before the event starts. I have to work hard on this as a production job... Is that the kind of production job there? I don't want to lose by volume.....)
Such an idea came to mind, but Benituru said, "Okay, now practice!”.
"I've only explained a little, but I'll teach you how to do it!" Now then, everyone, outside-- "
"Oh, yes. I've asked for the maid head via Esha, so I can rent the underground arena of the Maid Guild." It's not a secret training, but if you're going to do it, maybe it's better that way? "
"I'm so glad to have such a good disciple!" Besides, secret special training is very aggressive! "
"The disciple has already made up his mind...?"
Hayato regretted a bit that he shouldn't have said "master" even though he had said it in Nori.
"Then let's go!" Bishibashi, I'll train you! "
When Benitzur said so, Aggres nodded.
That's right, it looks like you can improve your skills in interpersonal combat, so you can learn in real-world combat formats.
"Well then, I'm done here." I'll do my best in the room because there are things like expanding the base and upgrading skills. "
"That's not boring, but I can't help it." Next time I have time, I'll properly train my hayachi! "
"At that time, please keep your hands soft."
"In that case, I will train Mr. Hayato as the next Demon King." I'm going to bishibashi, so call me Master. I also call myself a disciple. And I'll dedicate some sweets to my master. "
"Why are you trying to fight?" Basically, you don't need the next Demon King, do you? "
Lunaria puts her arms together, closes her eyes, and looks toward the ceiling.
(Thinking about it that much...?)
Then Hayato-san is the Vice-Demon King.
You don't need that position, do you?
After that conversation, Benituru and the others headed for the Maid's Guild.
Then Hayato went back to his room to improve his production skills.
But before I could move, a maid, Rosé, came from the store area. The rose looks serious for some reason.
Rosé-san, is something wrong?
"Yes, actually, I'd like to ask Master Hayato... could you lend me the Assassin Series gear?"
"... do you want to assassinate someone?"
"No? No, it's not. I admire assassins."
Rosé said so with a shimmering glow. From Hayato, I don't know where there were elements that illuminated. Rather, it's a line I don't think I should say.
“What do you mean? I've been thinking about it lately, just protecting my base as a maid and doing the store numbering.”
"I think that's the best maid ever." Rather, the opposite maid is already hungry. "
A maid who was better at attacking than defending was more than enough.
"That's right. I know that Esha is good at that, but do you say you don't want to lose?" In addition, in the next event, the Maiden Guild will also fight as an ally of Lunaria. I want to get more strength, but first I want to review my equipment. ”
Hayato had heard that too. Maid guilds and Butler guilds were said to be attached to Lunaria's side. Also, the Trehan Guild, the Escort Guild, and the Tamer Guild told me that they would follow me if I told them about the situation.
I wasn't sure if Relic, Sonia, Mist, or Maris would be able to log in directly, but I was relieved that the guild they belonged to would be able to help.
Besides, the maid of the maid guild is quite strong. Definitely a big force.
I guess Rosé also had something in mind. Hayato wondered if it was okay just to have a store number when there was a big battle.
And Rose is also a fan of Ivan. I was outraged that Ivan was brainwashed, and I feel like I can help.
So Hayat thought, and shook his head vertically.
"If that's the case, I won't lend it to you."
"No, I'll just borrow it." If anything, it's because I'm leaning on a maid. Gear means assassins and maids. ”
"What can I say...?"
There was something about it that you wanted to be a complete maid, but Hayato handed over the Assassin Series equipment to Rose.
“Thank you and I'll do my best for the next event.”
"I'm looking forward to it." But for now, please give my best regards to the store number. I want to make as much money as possible. "
“I'll take care of it, because if you keep it quiet, you can still sell high-quality items like that. Now, it's time to open the store. I will continue to go."
Rosé said that and bowed politely before heading towards the store space.
Everyone is working hard to win the next event. Though each situation is different, it is a thankful story, so Hayato decided in his heart that he would try harder than ever.
I quickly went back to my room and started to improve my skills.
Produce large quantities of Elixirs in an attempt to gain them from a key skill, Pharmaceuticals.
Unlike before, the highest quality is 1%, and there is no 2% using the item, and now it is nearly 10% with the item included. I don't know what happens when you have 200 abilities, but if you can mass-produce the highest quality elixirs, you'll have nothing to fear.
(But even if your skills improve, does it just increase your chances of getting the highest quality? I think it's okay if there's something more amazing like this.)
You'll find out soon enough if you ask Daté. The next event has to be won, so you should know some useful information, but Daté himself didn't answer, “I won't spoil it.”
“I want you to enjoy this world, even under these circumstances. When the skill reaches 200, there may be something, or there may be nothing. Hayato, I want you to see for yourself."
That's what Ditte said.
When I asked if it was okay for me to be at an event where my life was at stake, Diete replied:
"I believe in Hayato." Besides, Hayato, if you knew or didn't know, you'd raise your skills to the limit, right? I don't want to take away the fun I had when that happened. "
Hayato was also convinced and did not listen further. In that case, I'm trying to improve my skills in the shortest time possible.
(There are still a lot of elixir materials. Continue to make it until it's gone)
Hayato thought so and started creating elixirs.
Hayato received a voice chat application when the number of elixirs was about to reach three digits.
"Hypnos, are you okay now?"
"It's okay."
Hayato said that, but he didn't stop making elixirs. Abilities are harder to climb after 90. It seems to be inherited even after breaking the limit, and it is very difficult to rise after 190. It's not like I'm stopping my hand.
“This is the last time I send a voice chat. Looks like Nanagi told Amanda about us. They'll tell you not to give me the information right away."
"Oh, there it is. I'm sorry, I slipped my mouth."
"You don't have to worry about it. I don't have any more information to send in the first place. I hope Hayato and the others will win. I don't want to work under Amanda."
"That's right, I'll do my best -- oh, yeah, just one last thing." I wonder if you have any production jobs over there? Someone from Blackjack or Ambrosia? "
"I don't know what to do when I hear that, but I'm doing it."
Huh?
"I am responsible for all of our production relationships." She's a very rough servant woman. - No, what I want to know is more material than that? Unfortunately, we also make quite a few medicines and dishes. "
"That's right..."
"However, I only make 100 production skills." They didn't tell me to make it when I broke the limit - perhaps Hayato is breaking the limit? "
"Yeah, yeah, I broke the five-point limit."
That's what Hayato said, but Hypnos didn't answer. The chat is not broken, but is silent.
"Can you hear me? Is something wrong?"
"I hear you. Did you get five disadvantages?"
"That's right. Now I'm going to fall even if I get hit a little bit..."
I heard a laugh from the other side of the communication.
"I thought I'd do two or three, but I didn't think I'd do five. You're funny. [M] Amanda makes me laugh a lot, but Hayato can be proud to be the man who made AI laugh."
"Same as Amanda... I don't want to be too proud, but I'd be happy if I could laugh." It's not my intention, though. "
"I see... are you happy..."
What's wrong?
"No, it's nothing." I just want to thank you for making me laugh. "
I may be able to provide you with useful information. Hayato answered, "What?" and concentrated his nerves.
"Stay close to Diete."
"... yes?"
"For Diete, make Hayato an irreplaceable person." That's what made Ditete-- "
Hypnos' voice was heard, but there was a noise, which Hayato could not hear.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you at the end?"
"Is there a restriction?" Well, it was just a little bit of fun talking to Hayato. I don't know if I'll see you again, but if I do, I'll be glad to see you. "
"Huh? Wait, wait a minute--"
Hayato tried to stop, but the voice chat was cut off from Hypnos.
I hurriedly applied for a voice chat with Hypnos, but there was no response as to whether it was blocked.
(What's the matter? Say it like a farewell of my life. And get along with Ditte-chan? What do you mean, you can't be a replacement person?)
Hayato thought a lot, but it was not the answer. I tried to resume the production of Elixir that had stopped at some point, but I couldn't get hold of it, and I drank my coffee to get a break.
