"I did it flashy....."

Ehehe

"Ah... I wish I knew already."

Lynn was hugged and kind of laughed with joy.

It's almost too late for lunch now. In less than an hour, it will be time for the second qualifying match, in which we will participate.

In conclusion,

I was not particularly blamed for destroying Balibalhealth 12.

The reason was simple, and Lin, who had assumed all of this situation, was carefully rooted in it beforehand.

Nevertheless, I don't know what Lin actually did. Maybe he managed to do something with the help of the Hawksmith Group, maybe he turned things around with Lin's own network, and maybe he didn't actually do anything.

Still, Lynn said, "I've managed." Then I'll just believe it.

Incidentally, it seems that repairs to BalibalHealth No. 12 will begin immediately, and it will be open to the general public by the start of the next game, including inspections.

It was originally designed to be very easy to repair. Oh, I'm so glad.

"Nana"

"Hmm? Su-chan, what's wrong?

"Um... I'd like you to bend this a little bit."

Yeah, I'm fine.

That's what Sue handed me, just a 500 yen coin.

I wasn't sure what the intention was, but I folded the coin in half at my fingertips as they told me.

"Is this it?

"Wow... the one I saw in the cartoon..."

"Really?

Toka-chan told me with a bitter smile that she was tilting her neck to Sue, who was shaking with a pull after receiving a folded 500-yen coin.

"I think Supa-san wanted to make sure that the event just happened. Even if I knew Nana quite well, it was a strange sight."

"Ahh... is that okay now?

"Ha, ha! Next time I want to see you crush the apple!

"Ahahah, if that's okay with you, I'll do whatever you want."

As much as an apple, it feels like anyone can grip it, but Sue's innocent gaze is too dazzling to refuse.

Besides, it certainly has the image of crushing apples when it comes to proof of power, so I don't know how Sue feels either.

If I could see this side, it would seem that Sue is still a 14-year-old girl.

It looks a lot bigger than me.

... if you think calmly about the average height of the VR department at HEROES?

"Well, Nana's social media is a festive event, but I'll leave it alone. We don't have much time until our game."

"Yeah? Is that the one you want to leave alone?

"Just let the staff do it. I'll get back to you."

We nodded to Lin, telling her to tighten up the floating atmosphere a little.

You don't have time to relax and eat until the game, even if you don't have to say it will start soon.

I was sure that there was so much time, including the event rattling.

"The second qualifying round... if Sopa takes it seriously, she'll be able to win without any problems. I've seen all the information about the team we're fighting, but only two of my amateurs seem to be particularly strong."

Hmm.

"Butler is basically an Enjoy tournament just because it's big and stupid. There are a lot of people who just take part in making memories. That's why the early rounds don't harden so much. Instead, leading teams are deliberately torn apart."

Hmm, it's an adult situation.

From the point of view of the operation of the tournament, it is natural to want to buy tickets to increase the number of visitors to the tournament and the listeners for live distribution.

The more attention you get, the more money you get.

It's a dirty story, but it's a fact.

When this happens, people who can attract a lot of attention need to be treated with care.

It's no wonder that a topical team such as Progamer Linne and her associates, or a "full-fledged programming team for Zero Wars VR," will be crushed in a low-profile early round.

Fans who come to watch the tournament in their hands want to see the fight of guessing and holding sweat in the hands of the top players "on the best stage", and even if they are crushed by the beginning of nothing serious, they can be rejuvenated.

For that reason, teams that are quite visible are dispersed so that they don't get caught in the game.

This is an implicit understanding in all qualifying rounds of the tournament, and we HEROES are treated as one of some kind of team within it.

And enjoying the appearance of dark hoses on top of that is also the epic flavor of the Games.

Well, it's all for Lin's sale.

"The problem is that after tomorrow's battle, strong people, both professional and amateur, will come together. Having little experience with Zero Wars VR, we have no choice but to fight around the soot. If you're a bit of a discerning team, you know that, and that's why you're definitely being targeted. If the boulder jar is fired, there will be tough scenes, right?

"... well, if more than 10 people come in places with few shields, I'm a little tough too."

Sue nodded as she scratched Polypoly's cheeks.

Even so, I was surprised at Sue, who said something cool and awesome, like I had to defeat up to 10 people, or I could defeat a lot of shields.

Specific. On the contrary, can you handle it all by yourself?

"Ten or so."

"Well, this street is reliable, but killing them all by yourself is tough on the boulders. That's where you come in, Nana."

"Me?"

Sue thought it was awesome and suddenly shook her head.

Isn't it like we're all going to reduce the burden on Sue as we speak?

"Actually, during yesterday's practice, Nana was given a little different mission in parallel with the team."

"Oh, the one with the whole field map?

Yes, that's it.

Indeed, I've been receiving such instructions from Lynn since yesterday, when I was watching a lot of videos on my monitor more precisely.

In short, the instruction is to observe the field securely.

"Can anyone see the whole field map from the map?

"Just grasping the terrain. Nana remembered not only the terrain, but also the interior structure of the building, the building materials, and even the details of the terrain."

…… So, what can you do with it?

Sue is still strangely tilting her neck because she couldn't understand the purpose of Lin's explanation.

" Magic Bullet Witch . I thought you knew.

" Magic Bullet Witch !! You don't know! Because it's a legend of a series fan!

Not yet... magic bullets?

In other words, "Magic Bullet Witch." It's a pretty cool street name.

Does a magical bullet mean something, or does it mean something else?

Hmm, but it seems like a magical bullet would suit a witch.

Even so, it's a legend. Lin, there was a time when I was working with such an amazing person.

"That's a cool name. What kind of legend exactly did you leave behind?

A monster player called "The First Zero Wars Reach Point"! Shooting accuracy of 100 percent with any weapon, deviation close to the future prediction, absolutely unprecedented search accuracy, and most famously the synonymous bouncing headshot, commonly known as "Magic Bullet." Extreme technology that renders shields meaningless and cannot be reproduced even with cheats. It appeared in the video as a buddy of Linnet, but it didn't appear at all except in the video series, so it's a legend...!

Sue talks excitedly about "Magic Bullet Witch" in response to Toka's question. Maybe he's a fan of the witch.

Sue was somehow surprised at her excitement, and Toca nodded as if she understood everything.

"... I see. Sister Lin, this is it."

Yes, about Nana.

"What about it?"

"Huh?

Lin nodded satisfactorily, the proud toca, and Sue, who was hardened like a stone, I don't understand anything.

There was a little chaotic air between the four of them.
