Frontiers ~Chronicles of Bucket-san’s Detailed Pioneering~

Mr. Hayflick called me. My turn just came around again.

But this time the trip will also go in, so we will be surrounded by a good number of escorts around.

There are sporadic fights, but there didn't seem to be so much exposure in advance.

And they were all almost instantaneous enough to recognise the strength of the Second Knights.

"Here. So, Mr. Bucket, my lord."

"Yes."

The place we reached was also an altar that was there when we unbound.

But besides the altar, there are just cliffs.

Even when it comes to cliffs, they cut vertically, so it seems like it's going to be hard to get up there.

Without dedicated tools, it would be difficult for fully armed knights.

Well, the weight of the gear shouldn't be bitter if the skill LV goes up, so the narrower range of motion of the armor decay than the weight would be a problem.

But the altar in front of the cliff.

It's very suspicious how it feels, isn't it?

I'm sure that cliff...

"... Hmm. Is it literature?"

The use of 'Divine Goblet' on the altar led to the appearance of an entrance on the cliff with the sound of the ground.

What a bit disappointing that it's too much to predict.

Seems Mr. Hayflick knew, too.

And that literature got me a little interested.

Can't you read it?

"Squads 3 and 7 welcome to the investigation. Keep the rest of the perimeter.

Mr. Bucket, stay here until you set up a simple base. "

"Okay -"

Apparently, instead of going back to the simplified base we set up at the entrance to the field area, we're setting up a new base here.

Perhaps to save time for the next trip and for the Knights' rest?

... My turn still seems to be here this.

By the way, a simple base doesn't mean a safety area, it's really an easy one.

Naturally, MOB (monster) attacks too, so defensive combat is a must.

The 2nd Knights will be fine to set up a base for about 3,4 more locations as there are a good number of them.

Well, that's the only thing that reduces your strength.

But I can simply rest assured that each of the knights is strong.

This must be an understated place for the knights.

But it's classic to have a strong MOB (monster) in the back.

They say there's a boss or something, and they don't insult you as outrageous at all, do they?

There are also strong MOBs (monsters).

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

When I investigate and discover the altar, my turn turns to move on.

Each time there was a simple base set-up or removal, which allowed us to finally reach what seemed to be the deepest point around where we had repeatedly done the same thing for about five hours.

That was a place where, unlike before, the decoration of the altar became a flashy one, with a disastrous hemispherical junction behind it.

The atmosphere is obviously different even though until now it felt like it had been disarmed from progressing by cliffs and doors.

I don't care what you think. I'm the boss. Thank you so much.

"All battle stations are complete!

"All right, then, Mr. Bucket, my lord. Regards."

"Yes."

Unlike before, it is my turn when the knights are positioned and ready to surround the hemispherical junction.

When I manipulated the window by placing 'Divine Goblet' on a temporarily flashy altar, a different window message emerged.

"Um, Mr. Hayflick.

It's like 'Divine Goblet' breaks down when I untie this junction, okay?

"I see. Will it break here?

No problem, do it. "

"Okay -"

Mr. Hayflick also gave me permission, so apparently 'Divine Goblet' is not available here.

I mean, I guess I'm not turning up anymore, either.

Or the contents of the literature. I wish you could tell me too.

Well, it must be classified or something.

I guess there's something hidden parameter about 'Divine Goblet' breaking that has no endurance value.

If it had a lower rank, it would have broken faster, I'm sure.

If so, you can also nod that more than one material was available at the time of production.

Well, of course you took into account production failures.

But then shouldn't I have made a spare, too?

Or was it also some description in the literature?

Well, I'm not the one to judge that, and it's fine because they stepped on it saying it's no problem.

As the Divine Goblet becomes an effect of light, the junction disappears from the top.

And it was the little shadow that emerged from within the kingdom.

A person whose face and body are all made of shadows.

I feel similar to the MOB (monster) of the event, but unlike the event, it doesn't seem to have any alienation on this one.

Was it also observed that way for a few seconds, when the battle had begun with Mr. Hayflick's decree?

I can't fight, of course, so I'm in a hurry to evacuate.

Back off surrounded by a knight of escorts to avoid getting caught up in the aftermath of battle.

The battle you see from a little further away is amazing somehow.

You've been keeping it warm. The knights don't seem to be giving their opponents a counter-attack gap in a coordinated attack in 'Arts' with flashy effects.

Saturation attacks by 'Arts' are difficult in small numbers because cool-time exists in 'Arts'.

But the 2nd Knights have enough people to besiege the shadows, so it looks like they're going to keep killing them with 'Arts'.

No, that's amazing.

The same goes for the Knights saturation attack, but it's also amazing how the shadows are still alive.

I guess I'm the boss. It's not normal. It's durable performance.

But the hard work of such a shadow has been so far.

The battle seems to have ended when Mr. Hayflick directly hit the internationally flashy 'Arts'.

That's an overwhelming victory if you finish it.

The 2nd Knights are really strong.

"[Kingdom of Zabrina]/Anomaly: The National Treasure of Disappearance has been resolved.

[Kingdom of Zabrina]/Anomaly: A servant of a different shadow is rapidly mutating. Attention. '

"Oh?"

"Looks like we got the national treasure back and solved it safely, but it looks like there's been some change to another anomaly"

"What happened?

"Probably the effect of defeating the boss earlier.

You look like you might have something to do with this. "

"I knew you would."

"Anyway, now it's withdrawn!

I don't need you here anymore!

The withdrawal began immediately with Mr. Hayflick's decree, and I am, of course, coming home with you.

I'm intact too because the 2nd Knights were overwhelming.

This will complete your quest if you return to [Sabrina, the capital].

Well, it's gonna take me another four hours or so before I get home.

"Okay, then everyone's ready for the 'Transfer Stone'!

"" Ha. "

"'Metastatic Stone', is it?

"Mr. Buckett, do you not know the 'Metastatic Stone'?

This is a handy item that allows you to return to [Sabrina, the capital] in an instant.

I can't use it that much because it's expendable, but I have to report it soon. "

What a handy item you had!

Can't you get the recipe somehow?

Why don't you put it on the reward or something?

Well, the only thing I did was use the Divine Goblet, so I guess I can't.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

'Metastatic Stone' is seriously useful.

The journey took 4 hours to get there is a second.

This is too convenient, I hope.

No, I rarely go out. So it doesn't make much sense, but Micah and the princess definitely want it.

Or most player pioneers will want this.

But it looks like 'Metastatic Stone' can only go where he's been.

So it looks like you couldn't use the go.

Still, it doesn't change the convenience.

Recipe.............

The quest ended successfully when I returned to the workshop at North Gate.

Well in the end I didn't get the recipe and the reward was unchanged!

I knew it, but I'm sorry.

But this solved one anomaly.

Much appreciated by Mr. Hayflick and Mr. Dwarf and the Knights of the Second Knights.

'Divine Goblet,' by the way, but they had spares.

But it seemed like it was already on the verge of breaking, and it really just seemed like it was spare.

It seemed to be of low rank and unrestricted use exclusively by the producers.

It seems to be leftovers from previous anomalies, but it seems that the anomalies also occurred hundreds of years ago.

Pretty old stuff, isn't it?

Now you've successfully completed your quest and earned your reward.

What do you care? You made connections with the 2nd Knights, and that was a delicious quest!

Now there are two more anomalies left.

But it looks like the event has changed, and I guess we'll gather your information first.

The event is as close as it is in the last minute.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that changes happen now like that......

Anyway, if we don't know how it changed, we won't start talking.

Let's go to the bulletin board!
