"Sendo and Kurashibashi and Matsuda left Earth last night after a three-man party was wiped out."

Dr. Hayakawa quietly told us about it in front of us when we gathered in a stone building.

Exit from Earth means that 300 seconds of grace time has passed with HP at 0.

Also, that means the three people Dr. Hayakawa said could never come to Earth again.

"So for today, I log them all out once. I'll have to go check on them soon after this. Well, you're probably fine (...)"

That's a natural decision.

Three of my classmates left.

He has to log out to see how they are, so we have to log out together.

We usually act separately, but we can't be the only ones left without Dr. Hayakawa.

"So... why has Sendo's party been wiped out?

and that's where the ice room was raising its hand and asking Dr. Hayakawa a question.

If you do know what caused it all, you should know.

Maybe it hit the first MOB or trap.

"... they are witnessing another class of party last night where they were hunting in the Bahrain wilderness until 7pm. So it's probably wiped out by monsters."

Bahá 'ák wilderness.

That's the field we used to pass as a leveling place.

The difficulty can be said to be slightly higher, as multiple wolf-type MOBs with faster feet appear solidified at all times.

But Sendo and the others must have had quite a high level and had plenty of safety margins.

Is it because the members were missing?

To observe from the fact that the three of us were acting, I guess the party didn't work out that day due to some circumstance.

And maybe...

"But this isn't just accidental death, it's possible that someone has been orchestrating MPK"

Dr. Hayakawa said that maybe in front of his classmate.

This is what I had in mind.

Me and Mina had been MPKed before, but since then, there have been a few students who said that they've taken something that looks like MPK, and the teachers have been more vigilant.

All they have in common is middle-aged and high school players who were acting alone or three.

Given this, it may be possible to say that this case is a matter of alarm caused by Sendo and the others.

Nevertheless, he said, "Aren't you going to be attacked if you act as full a party as possible with five people?" but maybe that's not as easy a problem as solving it lightly.

Some people may also refuse to go to the hunting grounds or seek to reduce the amount of time they spend in the ground because of this MPK attempt.

I thought if I thought about the risk of dying in Earth, I would have no choice but to flow into that kind of safety thinking, but that trend would increase even further even if the victims finally started to appear.

"So from now on, I will always try to act at a full member's party, and if I can, I want you to go to the hunting ground at least two parties."

It is only natural to act at a party of five who are full members whenever possible, but going to the hunting ground with the other parties will result in a loss of experience gained and the efficiency of the gold measures.

But I can't help it if Dr. Hayakawa says so.

We have to level first and foremost.

"Then one hour after now in Earth time, I will log out at Wolds Fountain. Until then, temporarily dissolved."

After receiving instructions from Dr. Hayagawa and preparing to return to Earth, we logged out at Wolls Fountain, the logout area.

Sendo and the others looked somewhat confused, but as Dr. Hayakawa said, they were fine.

That fuelled quite a bit of fear for us.

Even though I knew it beforehand, it's heartbreaking to see the ones who actually did.

"... don't be hesitant to die on Earth just because you still don't die on Earth. You're not gonna die easy, either."

Yeah, I know.

"We'll be careful."

I came to the dining room for dinner, and I was surrounding the table with the ice room and String Yi.

"But even if it's moving at a party, I can't say it's still safe. So here's one, why don't you work with us on Reid for a while?

The reason why the two of them came to me was speculative.

Looks like these guys have been talking to Dr. Hayakawa about acting at multiple parties to keep the hunt going safely.

I'm currently actively hunting in two sets of students a year at a party to which I belong, Ice Room and String Yi.

Sendo and the others worked very hard on it, but most of our students outside of the three parties have shown a negative attitude towards Leveling because they became retarded in this case.

"I think leveling will be less efficient, but, well, I don't think other classes and grades will be so negative because they'll be raiding too"

"I guess."

We snort when we hear the explanation of string righteousness.

It is true that from now on we are expected to be more inclined to act on the Reid that bound the party, with the result that the amount of experience per person in the hunt should drop.

But that applies to all school students.

So even if we act in a reid, we won't be left on a level from around us.

"All my party members are in favor of putting Reid together. How about you guys?

"We agree. I can't do it here, Sendo, because I don't have an ex or a kid to dance with."

Apparently, the Ice Room and String Ritualism party are in favor of acting on Reid.

"... Mina, what do you do?

"I think it would be safer for me to be with everyone... but you decide this kind of thing because your judgment seems to be more correct than mine."

"What about the shadow?

"I'll leave you to Sin's discretion, too."

"Right."

Have you both left your judgment to me?

I'd be with my own classmates right now. If Phil were to keep partying with us, he'd probably say the same thing about these two.

Plus the crawl, which now stands tight in Earth's cemetery.

Then it turns out that our party is up to me to decide if we're going to make Reid or if it's going to work as usual...

"... I have to take Phil's word for it, so this doesn't mean it's absolute... as far as I'm concerned, I want to keep moving party-by-party."

"Ichinose..."

I want to act at a party.

When I said that in front of everyone, I shook my head in the way that the ice room was shaken, and then turned to me and opened my mouth.

"Do you know what's going on here? Did you get a good look at the Sendo you saw earlier? We must not die in the earth. If he dies..."

"I know. That's not true. But I still value leveling efficiency."

This is not meant to be anything.

Actually, it's because I have a feeling in me that I should.

We fall into safety thoughts on this one, and leveling becomes inefficient.

The labyrinth attack and the exploration of the Earth world will also be delayed.

But I can't help but think that maybe this is the purpose of the enemy (...).

I don't know why you're doing this, but someone is definitely sabotaging us.

Then I think it would be a bad idea for someone like that to work as expected.

"... are you sure that's all right? That's a decision that could put Mr. Asahina and Mr. Sunshadow at risk. What if something happens to them?

"At that time... I'll take care of it"

"Oh my God..."

The ice room's been saying things that worried us, but I stuck with it.

Surely this is a decision that puts all party members at risk.

So I made this decision, and I will do everything in my power to protect them if they ever get in danger.

While I understood that was against my doctrine that I put up in middle school, I was determined on this occasion.

"Mina or the shadows...... I'll definitely protect the party members. I promise you all this."

I don't condone whoever they are.

If anyone gets their hands on my people, I'll do everything I can to get rid of them.

I made that vow in front of everyone here.

"Kah! Dear Singh, that's cool! Hold it!

"... Master Singh tells you to leave it only in the earth. I'm not holding you anymore, you idiot."

As the people who heard my proclamation calmed down, the shadows began to say crazy things, so I dealt with them calmly.

Looks like this guy is agreeing with my decision.

"Eh, I'm confident I can protect myself before you can protect me? But more than that, protect the other kids, True."

Yeah, I know.

And Mina also sent me a statement that would support my decision.

"... Ha, then you won't say anything more from me, but that's what you said. You're definitely gonna protect them, right?

"Be careful, especially if you can't protect Mr. Asahina, because you could turn most of the boys students against the enemy."

"Oh, oh, okay"

Something string righteousness sounded horrible, but let's be careful not to.

This is how we ended our dinner and meeting and went back to the dorm to get some sleep.

"Ohhhh! Lord Singh! I missed you. Ooh!

"Ooh. You kept me waiting."

As she logged into Earth and stepped across the street to the cemetery, she showed up in front of us with great momentum.

Seeing the sight, I hallucinated that the dog that found your husband waving too much tail of joy.

Well, this is the second time I've seen this.

"... I've thought about it before, but you look so happy"

"Oh, no, that's not true. I just miss being left alone for two weeks."

Once we get back to Earth, we really have more than 10 hours to spare, and as a result, more than 10 days have passed here.

But Krall has accepted that, and he's been alive for 700 years already, so I don't think it's going to be long for about two weeks.

"But if you feel sorry for me, I'm ready to take that feeling in its form."

"Uh, yes, yes." Heels ""

Thought maybe I'd be prompted. Now I'm all over Necromancer gear.

I'll stare at Claire like I'm expecting something. I'll chant my heels.

"Hmmm... your death heel is still great"

"Thank you."

Claire was getting my heels and giving her praise with a tranced look.

I'll be wearing my heels for two weeks after I let that crawl wait.

"Phew... then it's time to go back to town"

With a good amount of heels on my crawl, I start walking out of the cemetery drinking MP recovery pods.

Then Mina and the others started walking, and Claire followed me next to her.

"... oh... yes, I need one favor from you"

So I made sure the other members were a little further away and whispered to Krall.

"Please? What the hell?

"... this is about what if... if anything happens to me, will you protect Mina and the others until they get to safety?

"What... what?

"Something is something. For example, when I slipped away from you... or died."

It is very unlikely that it will come off.

I'm always thinking about distance from my allies.

Also, it's impossible for me to die first.

I may be complacent, but unless it's too much accidental, I won't die, and fewer than 10 humans in the world could fight and lose from the front.

Even if it is earth.

"... is that something that could happen?

"First of all, there won't be, but just in case. It's a favor because I thought I'd be safe with you too."

"Well, well, then I can't help it. No other wish from you. [M] You can count on me."

"Thank God"

When I asked her to make sure that I could lay the crawl on me, she looked at me like she wasn't even full and said yes.

I don't know what you think, but this guy is chocolate.

If you praise me, I have a chorus that seems to do most things for me.

The future worries me.

It feels like there won't be anything in the future because I've been alive for 700 years.

"It just depends, people who have been trying to do us harm want to keep us alive as much as possible."

"I know. In the first place, I don't like dark life. And for the convenience of the Earthlings, it wouldn't be a good idea for me to say much."

So while I was worried about Krall in a different way than what was meant for Mina and the others, I spoke lightly about what might happen and started leveling as usual.
