Another Frontier Online

The morning after exploring the interior of Zalatan, Hayat explained to Esha in the cafeteria at the base.

Recently, customers have come to the coffee shop in time, so they have less free time and less time to chat, so I go out of my way to explain it in the game.

So what happened?

Finally, a monster called Puzzle Prototype appeared and Hayato collapsed, but Esha urged her to talk first, wondering if she was getting tired of it.

He was left alone until the end of the puzzle battle.

"I know that."

Ah, yes.

Is there an item called the Zaratan core?

"It happened." There were a few rolls in the tank where the puzzle was. The interior seems to be more spacious, but this time the object is the object, so it feels like I took it and went back to the ground. "

“How many times can you take it?”

"I went to the ground one more time, but there was no puzzle just a broken tank." I didn't have any items. However, everyone seems to be going today, saying that it may be possible to resurrect over time. "

Fixed Boss Monsters are likely to resurrect after a set period of time even if defeated. Otherwise, only the first player to defeat will get the item.

The time varies depending on the monster, but it often comes back in a day, three days, or a week. However, this time it was the first monster with no information at all, and I didn't know how long it would take for it to resurrect.

Is Master not going?

"Even if you fall all the way through the battle, it's a level that won't be a problem..."

Hayato is not supposed to accompany us inside Zalatan.

It was decided that the strategy would be okay even if there was no one else.

Besides, the puzzle is strong. It is difficult to move through the air at high speed and use powerful range magic to scatter bosses to evade or strike.

Nevertheless, the players who were there have been playing this game from the beginning and have the best in battle. I have fought similar monsters and have a high level of experience with this game.

At first, it was flirting, but it wasn't at all dangerous from the moment I found the pattern. Speaking of damage, it was only Hayato who was defeated in the first appearance.

"Please don't mess with me."

"I'm not teasing you, though." That's why they told me to focus on improving my skills... "

"It means the right place for the right materials." So you're not going to look for Arcadia, which is in the Land of Spirits? "

"I was going to go, but they want me to give them 200 skills and information." And Arcadia's all women, right? I don't want to be afraid because I have the courage to go with you. "

It wasn't decided in particular, but in the circumstances, Zalatan was more of a male team, and Arcadia was more of a female team. Although virtual reality, it's a little awkward to have a man at a party full of women.

Well then, I'll look for your mistress instead, so please stay with Rose.

"I will. Oh, yes, actually, there was something with a 200 skill just now." This is another surprising situation. "

"Is that why you were nervous to say that?"

"Well, that's right. Unusually, Esha logged in early, so I'll let you know first."

Hayato said so and took out the ring.

It looks like a ring with no weirdness. It can be made with craftsmanship skills.

Does the ring mean that your craftsmanship skills are now 200?

That's right, but can you check the performance first?

As Hayato said, Esha sees the performance of the ring.

"Plus 30 for melee skills? Isn't there a limit of about 20 skills that can be developed with these items?"

There is a limit to the number that rises due to the performance of the equipment. The highest value found for Talent Ascension is 20. The ring Hayato took out had the ability to improve his skills by 30.

Multiple skill-enhancing gears have a limit of 50 skill-enhancing gear, but you can use this ring to raise your gear up to 50 with less.

"Actually, I didn't build this all of a sudden, but I combined the two gears." That's the synthesis function that can be used in the craftsmanship skill 200. "

Synthetic?

"It's limited to production items that can be crafted with craftsmanship skills, but you can combine two identical items into one." Well, there's a one-time limit, so I can't seem to make it infinitely stronger. This time, I tried combining two rings with a melee skill plus 15 to make a plus 30. ”

"That's amazing again." Could you synthesize it with another performance? "

In response to Esha's words, Hayato took out another ring, just waiting.

"This is a ring that combines stun invalidity and knockback invalidity. Isn't it amazing? With this ring, you can get another invalid skill on the bracelet side."

"200% of the production skills are terrible. I think I can only do it now, Master, but after a while, the environment will change."

"That's right, but now we have a better chance of winning against Amanda." We have to mass-produce like everybody else. "

Hayato looked at Esha with a dazed look.

"Mass production is tough, right?" Besides, you've been putting in too much lately, haven't you? You're also sleeping less, aren't you? "

Well, I know, but I can't lose the next event, and I can only produce it.

Yesha looked complicated, but Hayat didn't notice it, and tried to give him the ring.

"I'll give this to you. If you cancel the Destroy, you'll have to take it."

That's right, I'll take it.

Esha tries to pick up the ring from Hayato.

At that time, someone came into the cafeteria.

Esha-san, good morning, today I'm going to Arcadia-hee!?

It was Ren who came in.

Ren looked at the situation in the cafeteria and shouted in surprise before opening his eyes.

What Hayato and Esha are doing is just trading rings. But it's probably too much of a surface for Ren to misunderstand.

Ren-chan, onii- ─ ─

"Please continue. You can think of me as a cursed stone rolling around here."

If there's a cursed stone rolling around here, you'll be worried, right?

"Then even the cursed doll is fine!" Continue! Hurry! Hurry! Harry! ”

Hayato thinks that there is no way to talk in a place where there is such a thing. Moreover, I didn't know why Ren was in such a state.

Hey Ren, what's the matter?

"Enough! Please hurry!" I'll properly carve in my head what words to send! "

Send word?

Hayato wondered even more, and now came Lunaria.

"Good morning, Ren-chan. Today's breakfast...!!"

And Lunaria opened her eyes like Ren's.

Lunaria-san, please ─ ─

"Keep going."

Huh?

"You can think of me as the demon king around here, so go on."

"As it is, it would be very difficult if there was a demon king, right?" "No, isn't that so...?" So, what's the matter with you both? Isn't that weird just now? "

As Hayato was tilting his neck, Rosalie came to the cafeteria.

"Master Lunaria, what are you doing here?" Huh? Is Mr. Hayato finally going to propose? I can only tell you to do it elsewhere. "

Hearing Rosalier's words, Hayato finally understands. It was a situation where I was giving the ring to Esha.

There was no such intention, but from the side, it seemed unlikely.

And Esha was somehow putting the back of her left hand upward, and she was smiling toward Hayat.

(You're not talking about putting it on your finger, are you?)

I thought I would put acupuncture on my finger with the meaning that I would put it on the esha, but I can't let the opponent equip something in this virtual reality. So I traded normally.

And Hayato explained it to everyone here.

The women headed for the land of spirits.

I was interrogated hard enough to think that Hayato had finally gone. Detective Takumi was also on the right level.

The members of the rosary and the black rose were half teased and half joked, but Ren and Lunaria pursued the situation with Esha. The more we fight over who will speak as a friend's representative.

After that, Benituru and Simon came to the base to ask what kind of situation they were in. In particular, Simon and the others were interrogated with their hands on the handle of the sword. Although virtual reality, Hayato felt a little scared.

Esha herself just sniffs without particularly denying or affirming it. Hayato had no choice but to explain the situation by himself.

It would have been a feat to have prepared some synthetic rings and bracelets. Ren and Lunaria were the only ones who were dissatisfied, but the other members were surprised to see the powerful rings and bracelets, and they understood the situation in various ways.

It was tough, wasn't it?

As Rosé said so, he approached Hayato, who was leaning against the chair in the dining room. And put the coffee on the table.

Hayato says, "Thank you," and takes a sip of the coffee and exhales.

"Everyone does, but I'm having trouble with Esha." Yeah, it's my hobby to see my troubled face. "

"You must like Master Hayato quite a bit." That's it, do you think it's a kind of mean psychology to a child of your choice? "

Are you kidding me, Mr. Rosé?

"No, I mean it. In the case of Esha, if it really doesn't matter, I'll totally deny it. Do you have a pulse?"

"Hahaha..."

As for Hayato, we have no choice but to laugh. I don't care if you take the quality by saying extra things here. And if you tell something to Esha, it's real. I wonder what to say in virtual reality.

"But, ladies and gentlemen, it looks like you've been relieved of your stress." Until recently, there was a part that was very tingling, so I thought it would be a good change of mood. "

Is that so?

Yeah, Black Rose and the others didn't seem to be doing well in gathering information in the Demon Kingdom, and Benituru and the others seemed to be struggling with fighting unaccustomed monsters.

I didn't see it that way, did I?

"There are a lot of things that women don't want men to see. However, it seems that since the start of the bet on how far Hayato and Esha have gone, the number of smiles has increased."

"...... I'm glad to be of service to you"

"By the way, do you think I'm good at connecting lovers?"

A lover tie is a hand tie that alternates between fingers.

As for Hayato, I had no choice but to say nothing here, but to lose.

"I think I can fix the joints of my fingers if I do that to Esha?"

"Oh, sure. I have to be prepared for one or two fingers."

As Hayato said, I think the evaluation of Esha is terrible.

"But I won't do that to Master Hayato." I was worried about Esha. You've been putting in too much lately. "

Huh?

I think it was hard earlier, but isn't it a little relaxed on the shoulder?

Rosé is kidding, saying that Esha did it for Hayato.

Although it is a virtual reality, it cannot be said that by fighting an unbeatable battle, there was power on the shoulders. Since Esha is not only virtual reality, but also reality, it is possible that she was worried by her expression and behavior.

"Is that a little overrated... does Rosé really think so?"

Rather than what I think, what does Master Hayato think?

"... that's right. Then I'll thank you."

"Please do that for her."

Rosé smiled and said so, and Hayato scratched his cheek with his right index finger as it turned slightly pale.

"Um, uh, well then, it's time to improve your skills." I'm going back to my room. "

"I understand." I'll take care of the store number. ”

Yeah, nice to meet you.

Hayato says that and gets up from his chair. He then stepped on the stairs to his room on the second floor.

"It's not time for the customer to open--"

Rosé, who opened the door to the store area, made such a statement, and Hayato stopped.

"Something's wrong--"

Rosé was blown up shortly afterwards. He was about to hit the dining room table behind him, but Rosé rolled back in the air and put his right hand on the table while returning to his posture.

Rosé-san!

Hayato rushes over in a hurry, but Rosé feels like nothing is wrong. At some point, each hand was gripped by a knife, and he was gripping the door with his reverse hand.

Please run away!

With a loud voice, Rose kept her gaze fixed on the door leading to the store area without looking towards Hayato.

"Anyone who stands up to despair is beautiful. Let's just admit that we're trying to confront me. But don't expect mercy from a fallen angel."

Footsteps and female voices were heard from the store area.

Then a woman appeared from the open door.

He has a twin tail in black and white two-tone color, a dress in white and black similar to his hair, and a sun umbrella with white and black in his hand.

When the woman entered the cafeteria, she turned to Hayato and smiled. Then take the umbrella as a cane, hold it with both hands, and lightly hit the stone collision part against the floor.

"Touch my soul, you who have brought about change from nothing to nothing, from nothing to nothing. And swear loyalty. That's your destiny."

The woman holds out her left armpit with her left arm up, just like the previous one.

It's Hayato's guess, but he said to kiss the back of his hand and swear allegiance. Hayato can only be troubled if he is forced to see something he has only seen in such an old movie.

I usually ask if it's okay to be put at the opponent's pace.

Who are you?

"It's just a symbol that indicates a name, etc., but do you want to hear it? Or do you want to hear my true name? It is an act of making a soul contract. Would you like to pledge your loyalty to me?"

"... towards the vessel"

The woman opened her mouth with a sad look on her face.

"The name of this vessel is Pasha." I am the leader of the clan "Desperate Angel", but I am sorry for this appearance. This is a temporary appearance, but I want you to understand that it is too dangerous for a vulnerable person to be exposed. ”

(This conversation is desperate in itself.....)

Hayato has heard that clan desperation angels are emerging major clans that are scaled alongside Bandit and Stelkust. I heard that there are many clan members who don't know what they are talking about, but I didn't hear that until now.

Hayato felt more uncomfortable when he asked Jolt and the others about it. I was worried about what to do, so I decided to deal with it normally.

Hayato didn't see it, but Rosé blew up, and Parsha was the only one who did it. Even if it's a battle, there's a good chance I'll lose, but I just want to know what the other person came to do because it's coming back to life in the room.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Parsha?" Looks like you attacked one of our employees? ”

"I even tried to be worthy of my people." She was strong enough to withstand that blow. However, it is still human. The vessel is fine, but the level of the soul is not high enough. ”

All the emotions were completely out of Rose's face. Of course there is no joy, no anger, no sadness. A face when you see something you don't understand or when your thoughts stop. Now I feel like I'm going to cut an apple and put a knife on Pasha.

When Hayato thought about it, Parsha bowed her head gracefully.

"Even if I try, I apologize." The surprise attack earlier is certainly not beautiful. However, I think your maid could have understood me without repeating the words. Shall I say that I spoke with my soul? "

Rather, it was Rosé with a face that could not understand anything, but she was filling the space with Girijiri like she had not heard anything from Pasha, and it seemed like she would be able to jump immediately.

"What are you doing if you think it's noisy?"

Noat came down the stairs to the cafeteria in such a situation.

It seemed that the situation was not clear, and Noato turned his attention to Hayato, Rosé, and Parsha in turn.

"No, no matter what I'm told to do..."

Hayato doesn't know what he's doing either. I could only say that I was attacked by a base suddenly, but it was a subtle feeling that I was really hostile.

Pasha looks at Noato, smiles, and then opens her mouth.

"The next wind... don't you think it's important to see where it's most dangerous?" If you want to extinguish the flame, use more flames, that's what it is. "

(... I don't think we should use any more flames... I don't know at all, but I'm here to investigate because this clan is dangerous at the next event, right?)

The subtle rhetoric that seems to make sense makes Hayato's thoughts stop all the time.

With a troubled face, Noat leaned against the wall with his arms crossed for some reason, closed his eyes, and then raised his mouth to smile differently than usual.

"I see. If you want to stop the river, eat the clouds."

More people are saying things they don't understand.

However, after Pasha's surprised face, his eyes sparkled and he raised his mouth like Noat.

It looks like this clan is also fascinated by darkness, isn't it?

“No, I'm not fascinated, I'm fascinated.”

Pasha's body jerked. I feel quite nervous.

"Excellent. Does that mean the [Fourth Place in Purple]...?"

"Not that way." God-eating bug "--No, now" The Observant of the Mad Librarian "? That way."

"I'm surprised. Is it Death Heaven?!"

Can you do it outside?

It was supposed to be the first time we met, but for some reason the conversation has been concluded.

It is unclear whether it is actually established, but from Hayato's point of view, it is definitely appropriate to say it first.

Rose put the knife she was already interested in in the item bag, took off her guard, and looked at both of them with strange eyes.

Pasha was much more excited than she had been when she arrived and looked at Noat leaning against the wall with anticipation.

"I didn't think you'd be able to fight me." Then it would be too innocent to defeat them here. Let's wait until the next feast. That's where the waltz comes in with me. You can deal with them, can't you? "

"Very well. I can't defy the melody of destiny on this board." Let us obey the great will. "

"What is a great will...?"

Noat laughed and opened his mouth.

”The Stardust Project... the seventeenth engine... Alle, Kel, Rarod, Kestra...”

"I can't believe I survived...!"

"There is no survival." I'm all dead. I just came back from eating the ancient souls I had left in "Sijima". Go home and tell one of your wings, the "Rusting Pure Gold Coin". The "moon drinking whale" is looking forward to the next "play".... "

After saying that, Noat made a move to hold down his left hand with his right.

"Not yet. Our manners are to eat the main dish at the end." I'll have dessert first...! "

And Parsha's left hand was holding down her mouth and wetting her eyes.

"Ah, one wing...! A pure rusting gold coin...!" What a lovely word...! Let's use it again...! "

I said that in a small voice, but Hayato could hear me round.

Pasha, who had a rough sniff, finally calmed down and let go of her mouth. I wonder if you are holding back the smile or if your cheeks are twitching.

"Fu, then I'll send you to the [clock clock clockwise] again...!"

Then Noat and Parsha laughed at the same time, saying, "Cook," and Parsha said, "Hello," and spread the umbrella. I put it on my shoulder and then turned my back, and I left the base while skipping.

Seeing Noat leaning against the Hayato Wall, I wonder if I should do what I didn't do.

However, if it bothers me, I decided to listen to it.

Do you know each other?

Noat stopped leaning against the wall and walked down the street as usual before sitting in a chair.

"First face-to-face"

So, what was that conversation about?

"A noble play that improvises each other's stories by saying things that seem to make sense. If you are stuck with words or are moved by cool lines, you will lose. In my case, I do it alone when I make up the lyrics."

"Noble... then what's the point of the Stardust program?"

"No, I have a Stardust plan, and the agent who sent me to crush it is set to be that person." By the way, my sister is brainwashing her soul. She's struggling too... "

"It's complicated, but what's he really up to?"

"I think it's a reconnaissance. Alvy the Kiss of Death once told me there was someone like that. I don't think the clans are very interested in being strong or weak. But I think I've come to reconnaissance because I want to fight."

“Seriously. And I met someone I shouldn't have met here.”

"Hayato-san began to say the same thing. Onee-san is happy."

"I'm telling you a lot, but do you like to say that?"

Awesome.

I may have come here to scout, but I'm just playing with the results. Hayato imagines that he may be looking for the "same person".

As such, Hayato may be concerned about other things as well.

"Thanks for the help, but why are you at the base?" Weren't you planning to go to the land of spirits with Esha and the others? "

"Even if the red crown rings the seven trumpets, it is difficult to resist the invitation of nothingness." It's the same thing as the soil that God loves me... "

“Making it easier”

"I slept."

"I went to wake you up at seven o'clock, but you didn't wake me up..."

Rosé looks at Noatou as he says so. The gaze is very cold.

Did they leave you behind?

"As a result of believing that everyone could do it without me." I also believe that donuts will come out for breakfast. "

"Yes, yes. Then I'll get ready for you. Wait a minute... yes, is Rose okay?" Is your HP down? It blew up, didn't it? "

"No, it's okay, it's healed by natural healing." But your mental strength has been cut to the limit..... "

"That's me, too." I'll have as much food and drink as I like, so don't hesitate to say it. ”

Hayato has the feeling of preparing anything in this virtual reality. That was a terrible fight.

"Would you like some coffee and cheesecake?" Somehow, I felt the irrationality of the world. Why are people who feel appropriately alive stronger? If we don't eat something sweet, we can't do it. "

"It's irrational..."

"Why are you both looking at me?"

"It's like a symbol of irrationality."

"I just knew that I wasn't being praised. I've driven the enemy away, so you can thank me a little bit more."

"I'm grateful, but if you say it's unreasonable how you can get rid of it, will you understand?"

That being said, it was Noat who drove Parsha away without a fight.

Although irrational, Hayato prepared a little more doughnuts than usual.
