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

"Mr. Laral."

"No, I thought I could do it ~! 'Cause I was measuring the approximate size of the station carriage to [Jungsmeris Republic]!"

"... you saw it wrong"

"Well, that shouldn't be..."

There are currently three countries to choose from for the initial point.

[Kingdom of Zabrina], [Republic of Jungsmelis]. And [Tabarist Empire].

This time the destination will, of course, be the remaining [Tabarist Empire].

At the time of this publication, no particular difference was made in the choice of any of the three locations.

But it's already been almost six months in "real time".

Each is becoming more distinctive than random in the field areas that can be pioneered.

The pioneered field area can also be divided into base and combat areas, making the base area a new city like a 'rebel'.

In addition to "Revere," "Missouri Village" is pioneered in [Kingdom of Zabrina], but that's a different role because it's more of a farmland than a city.

There are also several types of combat areas, including the dungeon type, which has a hierarchical structure, and the field type, which has an internal area that does not match the size of the appearance.

Either that or the dungeon type tends to be more challenging, but that's not certain either.

Because the farther you get from the city, the more difficult it gets.

The difficulty seems to be determined by the surrounding circumstances when it is pioneered, and even if the base area is pioneered later, it will not affect the already pioneered field area.

Field areas, however, will experience defense battles if they fail to take care of the aftermath after pioneering.

Large updates appear to have modified to make defense battles even longer, but instead seem to have made defense battles more difficult.

In [Kingdom of Zabrina], once a defensive war had occurred, it had ended without so much damage.

But I don't know what will happen in the future.

Than then, the combat-based pioneers who would participate in defensive warfare have improved their skills LV and gear, and you can't help but think that defensive warfare will not actually occur.

Speaking of field areas, there is an added means of movement called 'field portals'.

This is a measure to reduce travel to more and more distant field areas, isn't it?

It seems very convenient because it is similar to the gate and allows you to travel to your destination in an instant.

Micah and the others were very happy.

However, it takes' Demon Stone 'to use it in the same way as the gate, and the farther away you go, the more' Demon Stone 'you need.

But I've only ever had to travel on foot or by carriage, so convenience seems exceptional.

With that, the 'Demon Stone' is only slightly up in price, but it must be acceptable.

Far from the city is more difficult and proportionately more accessible to high-ranking materials.

This means that the price of the materials available will also rise.

It also gives you more time to hunt just for the amount of time you travel, and given that, it seems to be OK to say that the price increases somewhat.

Incidentally, it may be cheaper to fly from [capital Zabrina] to 'Dotril' at the gate and from 'Dotril' to 'Field Portal' than to fly from [capital Zabrina] to 'Dotril Silver Mine' near 'Dotril'.

Well, it seems like a lot of people fly directly because of the slightly more moving process.

If the gate was crowded, it would take extra time.

"In the meantime, shall we just..."

"Oh, that's... that's why I did it!"

"… disturbing."

"I'm not in the way ~!"

"No, no, it's out of the way. I mean, it's obviously the wrong size. Look, it's gonna be a nuisance to all of you, so let's give up."

"Uh-oh..."

What a leisurely item on the road that Mr. Sweet Lori has been straining and preparing.

There was just one problem, it was getting too tense and a lot bigger.

The station carriage is full again this time, and we have secured seats for the three of us, but not very much, but we can't afford to spread out the big buckwheat and play.

If I had forgiven the reluctant Mr. Sweet Lori, at some point the station carriage would have been departure time and set in motion.

But the other guy is Mr. Sweet Lori.

Just because Shiroku is no good doesn't seem to mean that's not the end of what we have prepared.

"It's a shame I can't make the best of it, but let's do this one!"

"What is it?

"... Monopoly?

"Exactly! I won't even take a place for this!"

"Is it like a little sukoku?"

"Pfft. That's sweet - it's too sweet, Mr. Bucket! The history of Monopoly is very old."

The next thing I took out was a board game called Monopoly if I knew it was not a good idea to make a big homemade one.

If you listen to Mr. Sweet Lori's rough nose commentary, it seems like you should also take less space than you did earlier.

I'm a complete amateur who doesn't even know the rules, but apparently I should try to make an investment or buy real estate and bankrupt someone.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Oh, no! There's a fifth house! Why!?"

"... horrible. Amateur takes one shot..."

"Is this a win?"

"Also, again! Let's do it again!"

"Fine. Because I kind of figured it out. What's the warm color next? This is good too."

"It's no good, Ru Ru! It's more than I thought Mr. Bucket would absorb!

"... don't be afraid, Mr. Bucket"

I won before I knew what it was, but it sounds like a pretty fun game, Monopoly.

Mr. Sweet Lori was on his way, and he said, "There are local rules," so it seems I can add a lot of rules, but, well, I'm still not sure if I'm an amateur.

Hopefully we'll know by the time we get to [Tabarist Empire].

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

From [Kingdom of Zabrina] to [Capital Rivas] in [Tabarist Empire], it took about six hours in 'in-game time'.

Of course, it's time to include a halfway break, but it seems a little farther than [Jungsmeris Republic].

Nevertheless, it doesn't really matter because once you get here, I'll use the gate next time.

Monopoly, who was playing with his leisure time on the road, received a suggestion from Mr. Sweet Lori to make it another game when I won three in a row.

[Jungsmelis Republic] That's also true when you go, but Mr. Sweet Lori doesn't seem to be very strong in these games.

But I'm smiling because I'm willing to win and I'm trying.

"I couldn't eat Mata-ru's treats ~!"

"The world of battle is ruthless."

"... that's what I started with, so I can't help it."

"Ugh! Confectionery ~..."

"Look, I'm going to get my mind back on it."

I was betting and competing on Moru-ru's treats this time, but Sweet Lori, who suffered a brilliant total loss, couldn't eat a single bite of the treat.

[Jungsmelis Republic] Why did you want to compete on the same terms again when it has the same result when you go?

Well, the contents of the battle were different, and I'm willing to tell because I was a confident face, but unfortunately, the results are tragic.

This time Ha-ru-san's treat was not new, but it was also very tasty with the skill LV going up due to the results of daily drilling.

Not so many producer player pioneers specialize in treats.

Or it's not good with the 'sorcery team', but it seems as little as it gets close to it.

If it's a delimitation called cooking, there seems to be quite a few of them, but only sweets, only Toru and a few more.

Among other things, I am eager to raise my skill LV and produce a lot of originals - so it's natural that it tastes delicious, right?

"Ugh - I wanted to eat it!"

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Look more than that. It's kind of Japanese."

"... the gates are the birdhouses."

"Ah, [Tabarist Empire] is a Japanese taste ~"

"Maybe some equipment you're selling?

"... but we're not talking about it, are we?

"Sure."

"It doesn't seem to change gear or recipes ~"

It's also tourism, so this time I didn't come here to purchase much information about the country itself, but I'm a little surprised.

Both [Kingdom of Zabrina] and [Republic of Jungsmelis] were fantastic cities in medieval Europe.

But if you think about it, it might not be surprising to have a Japanese taste country.

Rather, countries like that are common in games, aren't they?

But unfortunately, since it is one of the countries at the initial point, the equipment and recipes sold do not appear to be the same as others.

It would have been interesting if warrior armor, knives and all that Japanese-style gear had been sold.

But it might be good for the sightseeing.

After all, you can see the cherry tree-lined boulevard ahead of you that crept through the birdhouse!
