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

December 25th. It's Christmas.

And it's also the day when the first major update will be implemented in [Furon no.]

Or it has already been more than eight hours since it was implemented.

"In-game time" is triple that, so you're going to have a whole day already.

Those who have been playing all night will also be kicked out with continuous login restrictions to put in a break.

Well, it doesn't matter because I'm going to log in now!

immersion into the game from the usual darkening, but this time it was slightly different.

Apparently, it's because it's a big update, or it's a special one cushion pinch.

'Long time no see, pioneer. I want to let you know -'

If it was a normal game, there would be an announcement list or something.

But [Furo-no-no] is a VR.

Just like the opening, it looks like the goddess can tell you what the update is in the majestic temple.

However, instead of not being able to move like the opening, it seems we can skip it.

I couldn't let the opening fly, though.

For once, I would rather not skip and listen to the goddess.

But it's a little uncomfortable that the update is being told from the Goddess's mouth.

Especially since I keep saying pretty metaphorical things.

Couldn't you handle it a little more?

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

I finished listening to the update named Goddess Talk All the Way.

Apparently, he gave me a little information other than what he was told.

Is it like a perk you didn't skip?

Well, I'm sure there will be this information on the bulletin board, so it won't be possible to monopolize it.

After another dark turn, it's our workshop we're used to seeing.

Okay, just now, but we've decided to do it.

First, we need to gather information!

When I opened the bulletin board as usual, there were more threads lined up there than yesterday.

By default, they seem to be divided across countries, but you can also customize or favorite them as you like.

Now that we can go to each country, we have also compiled the message boards that were dispersed.

Until yesterday, I couldn't see any bulletin boards in other countries.

It attracts interest, but first open the 'General Update Thread' to check it out.

The general information should gather here without any problems.

If you want more details, you just need to peek at the derived thread.

... Again, you seem to have quite a collection of information.

Well, if it's been a whole day, naturally, right?

There was also quite a collection of information that had not been communicated, naturally with information from the goddess.

It's the biggest highlight of the big update, the liberation of the streets to countries, but it still seemed unopened at first.

But it looks like the NPC (non-player character) gave me the location of the street in an easy way, and I was able to open it right away.

The video was pasted then, so I looked at it, but there was a pile of players as far as I could pioneer.

Looks like it was totally festive, including the spectators.

What an attacking MOB (monster) he was slapped the moment he came out.

It looks like there weren't any strong MOBs (monsters), but they were still knocked down the moment they came out, so long as they were horrible.

After it was pioneered, it was a long and long street, but varied with those who ran out with us, those who relaxed and moved, those who dissolved and went elsewhere.

The video was over there so I don't know the rest, but it doesn't look like everyone is going to another country.

But it looks like the event was also happening the moment it was pioneered, with the added benefit of going to another country.

The event is called 'Transnational Stamp Rally'.

Well, I mean, let's go to another country.

Looks like when you arrive in a country other than the one you first set, you get one stamp and a medal for the update commemoration, depending on the number of stamps you have.

I don't know what the medal can be used for, but there's also a write-up on the bulletin board of someone who's already got it...... it looks like it's just a souvenir.

Maybe I should decorate 'My Room' or the store or something.

Looks like other means to get to other countries have a station carriage besides walking down the pioneered streets.

Apparently, this has become available after a day in 'in-game time' since it was pioneered.

I mean, it looks like the operation just started.

Since walking is a hassle, should I use the station carriage?

Once you go, the gates seem to work properly.

"Bucket, come on! Good morning ~ '

'Good morning, Mr. Laral. What's the matter, sir?

"What's the matter and these are the first days of a major update ~! I've been waiting with Ruru ~. Would you like to go with me [Jungsmeris Republic] ~?"

[Jungsmelis Republic] is about the country ahead of us connected by the video we were watching earlier.

There is another country apart, but it looks like your streets have already been pioneered and the station carriage is passing through.

"You can also get stamps for" Transnational Stamp Rally "~"

'Nice. I'll come with you -'

"Yay ~! I plan to use the station carriage, but it seems to take a lot of time, so you don't have to bring your spare time tools or not ~. I'll take them all ~"

Copy that. Then the meeting place is... '

The truth is, I was planning on gathering some more information before taking a trip to another country, because it's an invitation. Let me hang out with you!

Me and Moo were there yesterday that they might not be able to come today at the stage, and Kanda said they have plans.

I was very sorry to hear that, but it's a real priority, isn't it?

So let's just say the rest of us in our spare time indulge in plenty of big updates.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

- That's three wins in a row.

"Gutsy! I have an unexpected stunt for Mr. Bucket!"

"... Othello, you're strong..."

"Ha-ha-ha."

The Othello battle, betting on Ruru's new treat made, apparently closed with my overwhelming victory.

... Sassuru-ru! Delicious! Melted in the mouth and refreshing aftertaste! Excellent! It's delicious, Mr. Sweet Lori! It's delicious!

"Grunt! I thought I could win because it was Othello made of felt ~"

"... I thought the material was irrelevant."

"Guru! I wanted to eat Ruru's new one too!"

"If I hadn't brought up the battle, I'd have eaten it."

"I promise not to tell you that!"

Station carriages are big enough to completely fill seats.

But we were able to secure a seat for three, so we're relaxed eating Mr. Ru's new work while we play Othello neatly.

Well, Mr. Sweet Lori can't eat because he lost.

Nevertheless, this Othello is made of felt fabric and is an excellent way to make sure that there are magnets inside the habit of a fluffy Othello that wobble but do not deviate.

Where was the magnet? Is that new material?

Or it's plain original, isn't it, this?

"Well, how about chess next!?

"Oh, I don't know Chez -"

"... I can do a little"

"Alright! It's a battle ~! Please visit and remember Mr. Bucket!

"If you'll do it while explaining -"

"I can't because it's a serious battle ~!"

Besides us, we have plenty of customers.

Most of them look like player pioneers, but they all seem to have company and chat happily.

So it seems that Mr. Sweet Lori has no problem making a little noise.

But I'm a little excited that Mr. Sweet Lori will regret losing, so it was bad to have a loud voice, or if you clear your ears, you can hear him whispering about us.

Well, it doesn't sound like a bad word or anything.

The information that Puchi was retiring is on the bulletin board, so it's like I'm back.

Now it looks like Steel-based 'double options' will line up in the store again, or something like that.

Well, I've actually refilled the store just a little bit, so you can buy it from today, right?

It won't be possible to buy someone in a station carriage like this right now though.

Speaking of which, how many players from producers in other countries can you make?

Mr. Sweet Lori, as you watch Mr. Toru's chess battle, let's take a look at the bulletin boards in another country.

Anyway, I can't remember just watching, and chess.

I can do a little bit of chess, though. I'm good at hole bears and stuff!

"Mmm! This is an Exchange Variation! Ru Ru, are you sure?!?

"... a little. It's true. A little."

"Ugh, it sounds like a lie!"

I don't know, but the match between the two seems very exciting.

I knew you had to know the move. You have no idea.

So shall I borrow it on the bulletin board?

Good luck, Mr. Sweet Lori.

I'm sure it's a little of Ruru-san's kind of guy.
