While the event also begins to show calm, its fruit The Tears of Shadows contest seems to be heating up quite a bit.

Trouble in the Battle of Reid doesn't know how the soaring of 'Tears of Shadows' stays even when it's sedated.

It can also be swollen to a price where you can already buy about one steel-based gear if you sell three.

It still sells, so you know how the top event rankings really are.

The top event rankings are stuck at my desk right now.

"Ugh... nostalgia - nostalgia"

"Yes, yes, no, no, no. It's depressing."

"Oh, yeah."

Micah, the top event ranker, also seems to be in quite a spike in this Tears of Shadows.

But it's horrible because it means you can't keep the top event rankings if you don't buy them.

Of course, if I had the Reid fight, I'd be in as much as I could. It seems like I'm getting 'Tears of Shadows' on my own.

You think it's very hard for students to maintain a top ranking in these online gaming events, don't you?

Summer holidays may be advantageous the other way around.

Well, it's actually so hard to roar in front of me, so needless to say, he's the one.

Among other things, I collect "Sealed Dark Sword" and "Dark Short Sword", which are properly rented items.

The princess's sermon is working, so Micah and I are paying for it every time.

I collect quite a few foreheads every time, so it's about to pay off the momentum.

Then it will be sunny and Micah's because it will be a purchase, not a rental.

I feel it was surprisingly quick, but there were various factors that increased funding, such as improved combat power and events due to the updating of the surrounding equipment.

Well, even if I'm in a shortage of money because of that event.

It wouldn't be weird if Micah had paid off by now without the "Tears of Shadows" soar.

"Oh! It's Reid! I'm coming!

"Yes, yes, say it."

Uh-huh. It was a roaring Micah, but apparently it took a convocation to the Reid fight.

Where have you been depressed until just now, you've popped up alive and gone.

Well, it's Micah, so you can't help it.

Let's say I use the material I also bought while I was paying to earn points.

I haven't gotten all the 'minicots' yet.

But I'm also sure you're making more money than you're doing well.

Sounds like you'll be able to get all the 'minicots' by the end of the event.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

'Yes, sir. What's wrong with you?

"Mm. Emergency."

When I was making good points in the event production, the princess called me 'Cole'.

It's not uncommon for a 'call' to come from a princess, but it's uncommon for an emergency to happen.

"What happened?

"Invasion in Missouri"

"Yep!?

If you ask me in detail, apparently, 'Missouri Village', the only currently pioneered safety area with a farmland bonus, has been invaded by demon trees.

[Furo-no] Then you don't just have to cut and pioneer.

After a certain amount of time, the demon tree will try to swallow even where it has resumed its invasion and pioneered itself.

Player pioneers as well as NPC (non-player character) pioneers know that.

Or even the story of the goddess at the start of the game comes up as a caveat.

However, you will not be informed of the details of the time to re-invade or what to do.

We just have to gather all kinds of information in the game and see and grasp the situation of the Demon Tree.

'So, what am I supposed to do?

"" Magic Formation, "Full of Flames"

Copy that! If it was flame-based, it would still be in stock!

"'Clan Members' Go Buy It"

"Ok. I'll have it ready!

The princesses should be quite stocked with 'sorcery team' and such.

But still, it must be so troublesome to re-invade it that it's not enough.

It's an emergency, and I can give it to you for free, but there's the princess.

Looks like I'm going to buy it properly.

Because you just pissed off your relationship with Mika.

You have to tighten where you tighten it tight.

Nevertheless, I have seen on bulletin boards that re-invasion can prevent it from occurring by keeping some near-field demon trees logged.

Now more places have been pioneered, and pioneers engaged in demon tree logging are dispersed.

There are even events, so I guess fewer people are working on logging than usual.

Maybe they poked that gap.

Failure to defend the area pioneered by the re-invasion of the Demon Tree will wipe out the area pioneered.

Especially in this case, it's a safety area with a farmland bonus, so it's pretty painful to lose.

Because the majority of the ingredients currently used in the cuisine of the [capital Sabrina] come from the 'Missouri village'.

Thanks to agricultural skills and bonuses, the ingredients that can be picked in the 'Missouri Village' are of high rank and are heavily collected.

Even dishes are naturally produced, so higher ranks of ingredients work better.

Besides, most importantly, the ingredients you can pick in "Missouri Village" are very tasty, aren't they?

The "Kulu Hotel" also says that "Missouri Village" ingredients are used in large quantities.

So it's too much damage for 'Missouri Village' to disappear now.

In fact, even the bulletin board seems to be making a fuss.

But, thanks to more combat-based player pioneers who are able to be a collective battle in Reid's battle, the defense battle is apparently progressing to its advantage so far.

Earlier, members of the 'Kikori Dot Col' bought up all their inventory of flame-based 'sorcery formations', so this won't shake the victory.

The demon tree is also a tree.

They seem to be less tolerant and effective because defense battles seem to sporadically crush demon trees as they occur, although resistance seems to be enhanced and not very effective in pre-pioneering densities.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

It was my first defense battle, but it seemed to be successfully defended by how quickly I responded and how many adults participated.

I wondered what would happen for a while, but now you're relieved.

Discussions have just begun on the bulletin boards about aftercare in other pioneered areas.

Anyway, it's important to keep the near-field demon trees logged, so it looks like we're just going to have a negotiation with the [Union of Pioneers (Guild)].

Periodic quests for Devil Tree Logging are sponsored by the [Union of Pioneers (Alliance)] or the State.

But player pioneers can't directly sue the country.

If so, it's the quickest way to negotiate with the [Union of Pioneers (Alliance)].

We can go around logging ourselves voluntarily, but there's no way we can ever have such a volunteer.

Then you should negotiate with the [Union of Pioneers (Alliance)] from the beginning.

Once the re-invasion begins, the defense battle also feels like it might take a long time depending on the number of people.

Looks like it ended in about 3 hours after the princess contacted me this time, but it's the first time, because quite a large number of people have been in it for 3 hours, even if I leave it.

If a re-invasion occurs at a time when people don't get together, it can even be a defensive failure.

If you do, the area you pioneered will disappear, and if you pioneer the same place again, you won't necessarily get the same area out.

Worst of all, it's even possible that you'll never meet the same neighborhood again.

Even bulletin boards have come to the conclusion that nowhere can the currently pioneered area be lost.

It will still be pioneered, and in time there will be places where we can no longer get around and fail to defend ourselves.

But places of high value should be actively aftercare.

I just want you to make sure you manage very well where you can take valuable materials even with me.

... because I can't fight, and I can't cut it.

Because we contribute in the production of equipment and items for that matter, it's the right material.

However, defense battles basically seem to have nothing to gain.

You just get demon stones by logging the invading demon trees, and naturally you don't get the point because it has nothing to do with the event.

But it will take time, and if you fail to defend, that area will be lost.

Sure, it would be a battle you need, but you think that if you don't have a few more things in place, you're going to get fewer and fewer people to participate, right?

What do you think of the operation around here?

Many opinions have also been expressed in this reflection on defense battles discussed on the bulletin board with regard to such rewards in defense.

I know it's difficult because if the reward is too high, it doesn't bother to take care of the aftermath, and there will be actions to generate a defense battle and target the reward, but the majority wanted us to have some rewards for the defense.

This is a defensive battle started by the re-invasion of the Demon Tree, by the way, but although it is a defensive success, it does not naturally cause any damage at all.

Some farmland said the vegetables and livestock they were planting had been hit, and there was some damage to the building.

These don't seem to come back after a successful defense.

Though a defensive success, it doesn't seem to mean total victory.

So it was my first defensive battle, so I guess adding in that neighborhood would be a success enough, but the damaged player pioneers and NPCs (non-player characters) wouldn't have accumulated.

I'm sorry about the damage to the workshop, too.

Advanced amenities are also in the process of being updated. I can't cry if that happens at the moment.

Well, if the demon tree ever invades until [Sabrina, the capital], I think it's [Furo-no-ah] terminated.

However, you can't be alarmed because there is also the first array of events, right?
