The next day, Mina brought Sakya.

"... hey... what do you mean"

"I don't care what they say, because this kid says it's like partying with us."

In the morning, after the homeroom at the inn ended, I was about to take a break and then go to the labyrinth.

That's when Mina brought Sakya in and said, "Can I put this kid in the party?" He asked me.

"I'd rather have a party with Master Singh"

"No, no... That said, you were working with other guys, weren't you? What happened to them?"

The increase in party membership is not a bad story in itself.

Especially if you're a member like Sakya, who is used to MMOs - if you don't consider humanity - you're welcome.

But if we were partying elsewhere, we wouldn't be seen with good eyes from around us for pulling out the power.

If it's going to make your relationship worse, you shouldn't let them in the party.

"Well, isn't that good? We'll be fine."

"... who?

That's what I thought. A boy student showed up at my place.

The man in front of me is small and gives the impression that he looks weak somewhere.

"I'm Orange String Yi. He's one of the party members I was working with yesterday."

And the man has introduced himself to me.

When it comes to oranges, it sounds familiar.

Sure he's the one who picked the same C course as us?

Or a cool name.

If you have a character name...

"... is it called a character name, a yumi?

"Ah, haha..."

That's a somewhat feminine name.

Maybe it's Yumi because there's a string in the name.

And even though it's swollen, it's yummy.

"String righteousness originally tried to use female characters"

"Shh! I said no!

And my question like that was raised by one girl who came with oranges.

It was the son of a martial artist who gave me a chance to get out of my predicament yesterday.

Same boobs today.

"I'm orange. String righteousness means I'm a twin and I'm a better sister. I'm not calling you by your first name because it's confusing."

Orange jacket.

That's what the active girl named after us, with her long hair twintailed.

"My character name as well. Is that easy to understand?

"Sure, that's easy to understand."

But how about using your real name as it is for your character name?

Well, my character name isn't that twisted, so I can't say much about people.

"Anyway, we've got Sakuya coming out, so we don't have to worry about it."

"I'm a bummer, but thank you forever, Master Singh!

I'm really a mess.

I just want to say, even if I refuse here, Sakya will follow me.

"Ha... well it's not bad for me to have more good party members"

"I can't believe you're an excellent and dependable wife..."

"I didn't say..."

I couldn't hide my anxiety when I heard Sakya's messy remarks.

That's why I keep saying things.

"... treat me as a party member. Or I'll kick you out of the party."

"Mmm... ok, if Master Singh says so"

As I glanced at Sakuya, she raised her voice in a slightly pungent manner.

"You're good friends, both of you."

"Where?"

String righteousness smiled watching us interact like that.

I don't want them to think I'm close to Sakuya or anything.

I took a glance at String Yi as well.

We added Sakuya to the party, and after we had all the gear and items we needed, we came to the labyrinth as planned.

The first basement level is an area like a maze of caves with bitter rocky skin.

The entrance to the underground labyrinth 'Yugdrasil' is just outside the town of beginnings.

It seems that only players can enter this giant labyrinth, and that the fairly large town within the continent of Wolds may be equipped with a transitional magic formation that can travel here in an instant while passing through one way.

Also, in the labyrinth, every ten tiers the Reid boss refrains, and no more than 30 players need to work together to defeat that boss.

And from such an underground labyrinth to the center of Earth, it was Croc's game purpose to rescue the deepest goddess.

"Looking forward to exploring the labyrinth! Dear Sin!"

…………

Sakuya was walking next to me.

She was talking to me all the way to the labyrinth.

"... hey, Sakuya. You're a magician, aren't you?

"Yeah, but?

"Then back off. It's not weird when MOBs come out anymore."

The position of magician is a rear guard.

Mage positions with low HP and only light gear can be worn are very hit and weak.

So it can be said that it is fundamental that such a magician position be lowered back and the tank position walk forward.

"I'm a monk but a tank. Sakya stay behind me."

"Yeah, okay! I'll follow you back forever!

…………

Mendokusai also put in a scratch already.

I can't keep up with Sakya's tension and walk forward with no reactions.

"... Hey, what's your relationship with Mr. Sakya?

Then Mina, the attacker, the same avant-garde as me, spoke in a small voice.

I guess it was hard to hear because Sakya was stuck on me all the way up here.

"He's just a nettle buddy."

"It doesn't look that way? I'm talking about Master Singh."

Well, there are no boulders.

But my nettle buddy is my nettle buddy.

Nothing more or less.

"Dear Sin!

"... hmm?

I heard Sakya from behind.

I look back.

…………

…………

Sakya shamelessly turned up in front of the black robe, from which her beautiful raw feet and... pure white pants appeared in my eyes.

"Hey... what do you want"

"Because Master Singh was out of depression with the other girls."

When I asked, she came back with that answer even as she dyed her face to the vermilion.

To the other women, you mean Mina.

Why are you showing me your pants?

Plus, you're totally after simple white pants with cute ribbons.

You're really taking me for saying that my pants are good for white.

And why are you shaking your legs a little?

Don't do that if you're embarrassed.

"... hide your pants for now"

"Weren't you excited? My face is turning red..."

"No... you're not talking about excitement or anything like that..."

The way Sakuya shows her pants is eye poison.

No matter how much you don't care, you're not interested in the girl herself.

It's not like I don't think anything of the situation where a pretty girl shows me her shamefully worn pants.

But she's just a party member.

Plus, we're exploring the labyrinth now.

"Sakuya. Me and Mina aren't just party members. There's something special out there. Don't disturb your concentration by doing more crap."

That's why I paid attention to Sakuya.

Then Sakya hides the front with a shun.

Apparently now we can focus on exploring the labyrinth again.

"But now Mina was talking about how she seemed to get along with Master Singh... except me"

"Beh, there's nothing amicable about that!

If I thought so, now Mina started reacting to Sakya's words and actions.

Is it out for Sakya that I talk to other heterosexuals?

If so, I have to say more and more mendokusai.

"If you want to talk, mix it up with me. It's a bad idea to talk to Master Singh alone."

"If you're going to say that, you've been talking to Sin and me too until just now...?

"Mmmm..."

But Mina disputed Sakya's disastrous words and deeds and the occasion showed a fit.

Sakya has a mendokusai personality, but she seems to understand the language for once.

"... well, what. In the labyrinth, I mean, be discreet."

So as I spoke to the two of us to launch my future policy, I heard animal ringing from afar.

We look in the direction in which it sounds, and we start to be alert.

"... it's a goblin"

A goblin, a child ghost shaped monster, appeared from the back of the cave.

The MOB is running towards us with a rusty sword in his hand.

"'Fireball'"

Confirming such a MOB, the moment I tried to pack it, Sakuya used magic to create a flaming bullet.

MOB, who was far away, will run toward us even as 90% of HP blows away with one of her flaming magic shots.

"... that's a boulder rage." Heels ""

He then releases a damaging heel toward the handy MOB that came running by.

Then the MOB's HP bar disappeared, turning into smoke and disappearing.

"Huh... that's a 'heel' now, isn't it? Master Singh?"

"Oh, yeah"

So Sakya has raised doubts about the current phenomenon.

I tried to use it because I thought it would be easier to actually show it, but it still seems shocking to knock down enemies with heels that aren't undead either.

I open my eyes and give Sakuya a brief overview of the damage heel.

"Wow... it's only been 2 days since I've been to Earth and I can't believe I found such a way out... I knew Master Singh was amazing!!!

Sakuya kept her eyes shining as she listened to me, and she said she was amazing at me for discovering such a damaging heel.

But as far as I'm concerned, I'd rather admire her arm than something like this.

"I just happen to notice this. I think you're better than that, Reggie."

Reggie, the character Sakya was manipulating, was also good at attack magic.

I recollected that fact and reaffirmed that I was still a reliable party member.

One of the concepts that can be described as general common sense in VRMMORPG today is' beginners don't distance '.

Cursing flies as normal, especially when you offend that contraindication in a game where friendly fire (attack on your buddies) is possible.

Before VR, in an era when click-guessing was popular, it was relatively easy to "target the enemy" simply by hovering on the screen.

However, after moving to a more realistic VR, the difficulty of hitting enemies with flying tools and long-range magic jumped due to the need for a three-dimensional spatial grasp.

In some cases, it may be a skill or a gaming specification with homing capabilities, but most game-based ranged attacks depend on the player's skill and the PS.

In other words, when bad players engage in ranged attacks, they quite often misfire the backs of allies in the avant-garde.

In a game where friendly fires are possible: "The biggest enemy is on your side!" That's a word they often say.

And Sakuya, or Reggie, has a pretty high PS in making such ranged attacks.

When I'm in front of the MOB as a tank, magic hits the MOB right next to me.

Besides, to save on the skill frame, Reggie doesn't take any homing skills.

Nonetheless, the false blast rate to me was cut by 1 percent, and most of the time when I was unlucky enough to hit it was when Reggie and I weren't working well together.

"Now call me Sakuya, not Reggie, praise me, Master Singh"

"Oh, oh... ok... that's a boulder sakuya"

"So hehe..."

…………

When I complimented him, Sakya was nibbling his face and kneading his body.

You'd be a beautiful girl if you kept quiet without doing anything weird.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Then we'll do it again.

………………

What are you referring to earlier?

It's not about pants, is it?

"Come on, let's move on!

…………

I don't know what Sakya is thinking.

With that in mind I sighed one and started walking back into the labyrinth again.

This is how I then tanked and turned back from the labyrinth to town when level 3 was reached, worrying about Sakuya, who burns his enemies with precise magic, while telling a joke behind his back.
