The next day.

Increased teamwork as much as time allowed, we were aiming for Butler's venue with four people.

Just me and Lynn can take the train, but there are two of us here today, so I'll be traveling by car in time.

Naturally, I'm riding a private shuttle car for Lynn. I was impressed by Sue, who was twitching in a luxurious car.

Still, can you win today?

Well, you can handle it.

Lynn reacts to such a toka-chan while drinking apple juice in a relaxed state.

Tocachin was naughty, and there was a thickness that made me less nervous even at times like this.

"But when I was asked if there was more collaboration, I felt subtle."

Sue-chan was alone.

"Ugh... I'm sorry."

"It's okay. That's what I knew."

Yes, it is.

Yesterday's team practice was mostly Sue's solo session.

Sue was in the top of the game in 15 and took over 90% of the kill score she scored in 13.

I actually ran around the fields I saw in the video, picked up a sound and shot a gun, and it was quite a fruitful time.

Lynn and Toca were so clumsy, I was sure that they weren't honest as a team practice.

"Well, from the beginning, I don't care about my function as a team. Nana and Toka are the only ones that are right for" matching. "

"I thought Nana was an assertive player, so I was surprised."

Um, in the past, Lin's support was fundamental.

At least before junior high, I only played games when Lin asked me to.

Like when Lin tried to take a picture of a project that he wouldn't quit until he lost the Zero Wars.

In VR games, because you have to move your body by your own will, Lynn, who is not good at exercising, tends to settle into the back of the line position, but Lynn basically prefers a harsh playing style.

Given that I used to support it, I don't think it's strange that I should get used to team fights.

"In the old days... did Linnet and Nana have a long relationship?

"I've known him since he was three."

"Ever since you were so little?"

"Oh, you don't know them?

"Yes, I wasn't interested in the privacy of my team members"

"Fufu, is that what you're interested in?

"That's right. Maybe that's what you're thinking now."

Does Toka-chan and Sue go well together? The conversation is proceeding fairly smoothly.

It is not strange that Sue isn't so interested in ourselves, as I only know Sue as much as I do online.

Still, I'm glad you want to know.

"It's time to get to the venue. Let's double-check today's schedule."

When she was teaching Sue about our relationship, Lin accidentally gave her a piece of paper.

It summarizes the requirements and schedule of the Games. The contents are easy to understand and summarized.

"Butler is a huge tournament with a huge number of participants, so he sifts in four rounds. I think it's easy to understand when you think about the first qualifier, the second qualifier, the real game, and the finals. We'll start with the second qualifying round."

"Oh, don't we have to do the first qualifiers?

"Yes, my team is exempt from the first qualifiers." Linne "goes to the official tournament as HEROES, but that's all it takes. I want you to avoid falling in the weird lower qualifiers."

Lin told me not to be proud, but just to tell the truth.

"Why is it so different when Lin is here?

"Whatever you say, it's going to change a lot. Sister Lin has a wide fan base."

"That's right. It's you, Lynn."

"Thank you and celebrate."

"Haha ~"

Somehow, Sue, who likes Nori, is together and worships Lin by herself, and she pulls back the story of Lin's derailment.

"Secondary qualifiers are a one-shot game, and the three teams that simply survived the end of each block will move on to the real game. The game consists of two matches. From here, the top three teams can score the number of kills and the survival ranking for each match to reach the final. Eventually, the top two teams will advance to the WGCS tournament in the final three games with twelve teams."

"Um... all six games?

That's what I'm talking about.

For the time being, I'm lucky to be exempt from the first qualifying round.

The second qualifying round is settled in only one match. Simply having a surviving team in the game means that there is a chance that you can win without having to defeat one.

Die desperately and survive until the last three teams. In the second qualifying round, I think we should see that this method of warfare works well.

Kills are directly points in the opposite direction from the battle.

For example, one team simply ranked first in the order of survival twice. However, the 2nd and 3rd teams took many times as many kills as the 1st team.

The final ranking was 3rd due to losing the first place in the survival ranking due to the number of kills. It's the rules after the war that can happen.

Conversely, if you take a lot of kills and vandalize them, the possibility of breaking through the tournament even if your team is destroyed at an early stage will also arise.

Do you want to gain points from survival or kill?

After the war, this balance was likely to be important.

But this way, the second qualifiers are going to be the craziest.

"Giant killing certainly happens there. That said, the second qualifying round is still low level, so it's not a big deal to worry about."

I see. Well, I kind of figured it out, so I guess it's okay. "

"Are you okay?

"Yes, I know the rules. I'm looking forward to the finals because there are a few names I know."

"Hmm...."

Sue took it for granted to win the qualifiers and the main game, but knowing about yesterday's unparalleled nature, we didn't think it would be discouraging or chronic.

"Well, let's do it ad hoc. Then our team will use the machines installed in the venue for the game."

"What does our team mean?

"If all the teams were to connect at the venue, it would cost a lot of money. Only a fairly well-known team will play in the venue on the first day. It's not good, it's about attracting customers."

"Sure, considering the scale, it's going to cost a lot."

"Actually, it's a lot more expensive than this."

"Hahahaha"

It may not be a bed-type high-end dive machine that we use for tens of millions of yen for boulders, but a normal headgear-type machine is also quite expensive.

You should think that there were at least 48 people on the 12 teams that would be used in the finals, so I was sure that the accessories would not be very stylish.

While talking about the tournament like that, Sue opened her mouth.

"Exemption from the first qualifying round means that you have some time after you arrive at the venue, right? May I take a leisurely turn around the venue?

"I see. I can't practice at the venue, and I think it's a good idea to play a little. Here, I'll give you some pocket money, so you can play whatever you want."

Lynn handed her a pound and a golden envelope as if she were giving an old man to a relative's child.

Maybe 100,000 yen? Lynn would be the end of the money, but would Sue, a junior high school student, make quite a lot of money?

I mean, I must have intended to give it to you when I prepared it properly in an envelope.

Sue looked strangely at the contents of the envelope and blued her face.

"Well, I'll bring my own money, and I'm sorry."

"It's okay, because it's my job as a leader to motivate my team members.... yes, can Toka escort you? I wouldn't want to use it anyway, and I'm afraid of walking the venue alone."

Yes, it's the guardian.

"Uhh...."

Needless to say, Lynn is rich, but in the sense of money, so is Toka-chan.

More than Lynn, Toka-chan is a "lady." Though Frank treats us well, the lady mode toka-chan can be an attractive child.

After a bit of confusion, I took care of Sue, who had put a golden envelope in his bag, and then opened his mouth as Lin remembered.

"Oh, yeah, Nana has a little other business."

"Another case? What's that?"

I haven't heard that kind of talk at all, and I haven't considered it.

"Sports event routine, exercise corner demonstration."

"... eh?

With such a smile on my face, I leaned my neck unexpectedly.
