“Ryoko! Did you hear that story? ”

“I heard. New people have been summoned. ”

A group of Ryoko who was active in Lorelai also heard about Roberia. The story of the new player spread so quickly that no one knew.

“Ryoko, what are you going to do now? ”

Ryoko smiled softly at Suzuka's question. I've been thinking about what to do for a long time.

“We have to prepare from now on. ”

“· · · So you're going to make it a clan, too? ”

When Suzuka asks carefully, Ryoko nods with his innocent face.

I've been thinking about building a clan for a long time. To be precise, I wanted to create a group. Identify groups with strong connections that can join forces between each other.

To be honest, even if it wasn't a clan, the group itself could. But then there's no symbolism. An organization that can only be dismantled immediately if it is caught by a fairy.

It must be recognized by a fairy in order to shine its value.

Moreover, I wanted to stop living in a boring inn. When I built the clan, I could have the building. Of course, it would cost that much, but given that, we've saved some money.

The summoning of new players completely eliminated the hesitation they had. Clans were essential to gather more people in the future.

I met all the conditions for the creation of the clan because it was after successfully completing the labyrinth exploration.

Ryoko soon made his move to create the clan.

Having returned a long time ago, Roberia really had a lot of faces to see.

Pass them over to find Iris in the temple. Her permission was essential to create the clan.

“So, is it a quest to investigate Yoohyun? ”

“Yes. I've seen a lot of records about browsing information, mainly from the reports I've posted. If you find it difficult, we can replace it with another quest. A quest worthy of the Clan's Tendency. ”

At the words of the fairy, Ryoko shakes his head. Rather, it was a quest I liked more than I thought.

In order to create a clan, it was necessary to clear the quest given by the fairies.

So I was worried about what quest I was going to give you. I checked the contents and it was better than I thought. Investigating something. That was Ryoko's group doing their best.

In fact, most of the quests in Lorelai were investigating something.

“But are you okay? After all, this guy's a player, right? Isn't it too easy? ”

Leuco blurred his expression as he checked several times.

This was a test to assess whether you had the ability to build a clan.

According to Iris, this quest was like that.

In that regard, Leuco felt this quest was so easy.

Iris nods with a subtle smile. But Leuco still had anxious eyes somewhere. In her standards, it was too easy to investigate one person.

“· · · Are you sure you're okay? There won't be anything we need to investigate. ”

“You can come to me by the time you think you've done enough research. I will evaluate the information you bring and decide whether or not to pass. It's never easy, so please be careful. ”

Even though I was careful enough to tell you to be careful, I never thought I was more of a monster than I thought.

'Iris, did he give you that quest?'

Yoohyun burst into laughter after hearing all of Ryoko's stories. I never thought this would happen after this incident.

The clan Ryoko would create in the future was primarily a group dealing with information. It is about maintaining a wide information network by using clans that are widespread instead of weak in power.

Thanks to the money, I could use her clan to get all kinds of information.

“So what happens to you now? ”

“This quest must be called a failure. Maybe you should aim for the next quest. ”

Ryoko's voice has no power. The fact that everything I've done in the past hour has become foaming has made me bitter. After listening to Ryoko, Yoohyun pulls the sword and brings it to her side of the neck.

“Even if I could kill you right now? ”

Ryoko smiles at Yoohyun's question.

“· · · Are you going to kill me? You didn't mean to kill me in the first place. ”

“Why do you think that? ”

“If I was going to kill you, I wouldn't be able to defeat my colleagues like that. ”

In Ryoko's words, Yoohyun put the sword back in the garage, as if it wasn't funny. I don't intend to kill her, according to Ryoko. A woman worth using later.

Upon retrieving the sword, you can find Ryoko breathing with confidence. Contrary to what I said, I was worried about my heart.

“What are you going to do with your life? ”

Ryoko stopped saying that.

I said it was reassuring not to kill, but it wasn't all over.

“· · · What do you want me to do? ”

I looked at Yoohyun with discreet eyes. It is quite tense as to what conditions he will set.

He didn't kill me. But you can kill him at any time.

Yoohyun's face slowly approaches Ryoko. Ryoko allowed his access without any rebellion. The clumsy rebellion only makes things worse now.

I can feel my breath. Ryoko recalls the horror of the past. At that time, the horror began, but the tremor was suppressed and the body was strengthened.

“ · · · · · · · · · · · · ”

Yoohyun whispered something in Ryoko's ear. Ryoko's eyes turned big.

Is it a good idea to end it like this?

The way back. Song Gyeong, who was watching everything, asks carefully.

Is she still in the library? You won't see it there. Still, I may not be able to move my seat by focusing on moving spirits.

Yoohyun nodded.

“It's okay. I won't take revenge or anything like that. She knows reality. And since no one's dead, there's no reason to rush. ”

· · · Is that so?

“So the flame wanted me to kill people? ”

To be honest, it's more weird to overcome them without killing them in that situation. I wouldn't have been hated or scared if my brother had killed someone.

Yoohyun smiles bitterly at what she says when she comes with the Spirit of Wind.

It's not gonna be a lie. I'm sure she would.

And I think the same goes for the other kids. We've changed a lot, unlike the old days.

“Has changed a lot · · ·. That's right."

So you don't have to worry.

I didn't kill Ryoko's group because I could use it later.

Killing her colleagues will keep her hostile. Of course, if Ryoko had been killed there, everything would have been over, but I wanted to avoid him knowing the value of the clan she was going to create.

And by actually sending her alive without killing her, she will be very helpful later.

However, as a songwriter who did not know Yoohyun's thoughts, he could have been mistaken.

But what good is it to build a clan? Do you know him?

“Clan?”

Yes, it is.

Clan, after all, was a group. As a clan builder, I could say that I would be officially recognized by the fairies. Recognized by fairies, the meaning was quite important.

“Do you remember the incidents that happened at the beginning? Players gathered together to protest. ”

It's harder to forget about it.

“If you build a clan, there will be multiple benefits, but the most important thing is that you can build an organization. The Clan is like permission for fairies to form an organization. ”

· · · I think I know roughly what I'm talking about. Surely fairies are quite wary of players forming groups.

“But we can't stop them from forming a group. It has to do with human nature. ”

The stability gained by belonging somewhere is enormous. Especially when it's hard to believe who to trust, it's hard to envy anyone who has a reliable colleague and family.

“That's why there's a clan. If you build a clan and report on their activities consistently, they'll allow you to form an organization. We will be able to gather forces with confidence. ”

So Ryoko, what was she trying to do by gathering people? You heard him, didn't you?

“To some extent. But should I listen? You'll find out later. Hmm? Flammable? Ah, it's gone."

As I spoke, I looked up and saw that the Spirit of Wind was gone.

I think I've consumed a lot of magic because I've been following you all day.

I think I'm going back to the inn feeling heavy fatigue by now.

When I returned to the inn, the day was ending.

Many clans will be built in the future.

But how many of them are right?

Maintaining the clan was hard on its own. I had to observe the guidelines that the fairies draw and show me some of the achievements. It is obvious that when an incompetent person becomes the leader, he will not be able to disappear for half a year.
