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

"- That's too much."

"So you fully enjoyed the festival!

"But you wanted to take a look"

"I guess I wanted to see it too"

"Give me a break -..."

The second New Year's Eve in [Furon no, no] is already over.

Having greatly enjoyed the two festivals, I may be about to be greatly molested by the sweet lollies right now.

Co-production of event items is supposed to take place only once on New Year's Eve, and that day may be today.

That is why we are being molested not only by Mr Sweet Lori, but also by Mr Akebi, Mr Riau and Mr Harmeln, who are PT (party) members of the day.

Today, on New Year's Eve, we are organizing PT (parties) in only two countries: [the Tabarist Empire] and [the Kingdom of Zabrina].

[Kingdom of Zabrina] The last person on the Kingdom's side is Mr. Kanda.

You're the first member to co-produce an event item.

I didn't aim in particular, so it's a coincidence.

The topic at the break was still about the festival, and I didn't even stop talking, so it was my story where the tension was unusually high.

Ugh... I hope it was fun, but it's pretty embarrassing to hear it like this again...

I want to be a little more calm at the festival tonight......

But it's fun, the festival.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The last co-production of the year ended without any particular problems.

Basically, all we do is gather in the workshop and make our own products.

There's not much room for problems.

We haven't had any particular problems before, and just because it's the last time this year doesn't seem like something will happen.

In the first place, members who cause problems are played at the selection stage, right?

Next year, we will be co-producing from January 7th, as we each have real business to do.

Well, in my case, I log in during New Year's Eve, so I don't mind any time.

Sweet Lori says she doesn't have any errands, especially on New Year's Eve, so she's going to log in.

Aren't you going to go to Hatsumomo or something?

Mr. Kanda says he's busy around relatives and all that during New Year's Eve.

Other 'WORKS' members are likely to be around for player-sponsored New Year's events with Sweet Lori because they seem busy on New Year's Eve.

Micah is an event at home, and the princess is unlikely to be able to log in until after Sunday.

Unfortunately, we have Mr. Sweet Lori, so he won't be bored.

Besides, the place is small, so it should be smaller than the official events taking place using the entire boulevard.

I've been very satisfied with the festival the last two days, too.

You won't freak me out any more, I guess.

"Then I'll pick you up at the same time ~"

"Okay -"

"Oh, but no group can log in for New Year's Eve, so it's just us ~"

"Is that it? Are you no longer here from tonight?

"Mr. Kulu, Mr. Mee and Mr. Moo are on schedule, but it seems that Mr. Kanda's relatives have come early ~. Mr. Ruru has also had a reschedule ~. He didn't 'text' ~?"

"Ah, I was coming -. Was it when you were making it? I didn't notice. So it's a date for both of us."

"Haha - that's right. It's been a long time since I've had a date."

"haha."

When I heard and confirmed the report from Mr. Sweet Lori, everyone wore each of the 'emails'.

When I receive it during production, I really don't notice, do I?

Contents included an apology for not being able to go with you to the festival and a year-end greeting.

Let's just say I reply slowly when I get back to the workshop.

"Then I'll wait for you."

"Yes ~ yes. See you soon ~"

"Again."

When I broke up with Mr. Sweet Lori and went back to the workshop, there was a suspicious person who was somehow roaring in front of the gate.

This one was quick to discover, or that one doesn't seem to have noticed me yet.

He's a suspicious man who's roaring in front of my workshop, so it'll be definite that I have business.

There are actually quite a few people pushing me to the workshop.

So you're establishing what to do, aren't you?

Oh, there was just someone who could execute that response.

"Guard."

This is me continuing the NPC (non-player character) quest for the Kederick Chamber of Commerce.

The guards are patrolling the area at Mr. Kederick's expense, right?

Kederick's breathtaking guard quickly calls me if I have trouble in the shop or workshop.

They also speak up about suspicious people like this one and deal with them if necessary.

Explaining the situation to the guard, he undertook it in two replies.

It's light because I was usually a guard who would look at the store people as well.

Sneaking in and watching, the suspicious man, voiced by the guard, fled rather hastily.

That's the guard, isn't it? Great elimination ability.

Well, in this case, I don't know if the guards are amazing or if the suspicious ones were so backward.

Anyway, now you're okay.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Are you suspicious again?"

"It's been a lot lately."

"It must be a production request ~"

"Right."

With three countries connected by the update, the number of player pioneers has essentially tripled.

In the other two countries, no producer seems to be able to stably produce 'double options' for steel-based equipment, and my thing spread at a considerable rate.

At the beginning, there were many player pioneers packing into the store, and the majority of people gave up because they didn't accept production requests.

Those who couldn't give up were persistently stuffed up in the clerk and banned from leaving, but these days it seemed that he had also come out with information about the area, and fewer people were forced to try to make production requests.

But not everyone gets the replenished product from the store because it sells out quickly, and 'Options' doesn't always have what they're after.

So there are a certain number of people who manage to come into contact with me in an attempt to increase their chances of getting the 'option' they want.

That, of course, must have been because there was information out there that I had people making priority sales.

Nonetheless, it's a previous issue that would have gone into priority sales had it not been for contact with me.

Yeah. So there are people out in front of the workshop trying to get in contact with me.

But blah, it just makes me sick to be in contact that way.

Do you seriously think you can put it into priority sales like that?

Well, there's no other way, so I guess there's no choice.

In fact, I don't go out much.

Lately, I would go to that workshop over there for co-production, but I'm mostly with someone from "Works" then.

Mr. Sweet Lori, when something is with you, it is particularly quick to deal with, and other members will repel you lightly.

I'm pretty much protected by everyone, aren't I?

Even Me and Moo will protect me.

Or, in the case of Me and Moo, there's even a verse I enjoy.

Well, mostly the guards do something about it.

"Something is dressed a little different than usual on top of too many people during the festival, I'm glad that didn't happen ~"

"Right. I'm glad each and every disguise set helped."

In fact, besides wearing yukata during this New Year's Eve festival, you hide my feature, Bucket Helm, in a previously active costume set, don't you?

And since you're dominating the noodle shop, it sounds like just putting your face all over the bucket helm would be enough disguise, right?

Anyway, the head gear I make is a bucket helm choice.

So there are quite a few people equipped.

Even though it's a festival, there are quite a few people who come with the protective equipment that they usually wear.

There are a few who bother to prepare yukata.

If you look around, you'll find about one in ten people equipped with bucket helms, like me.

Some of them are women, so they seem to be surprisingly hidden.

So you're even wearing a disguise on it.

The chances of getting tangled by suspicious people during the festival will be low.

- I thought, it doesn't look so sweet in the world.

"There he is! Because disguising yourself like that won't deceive you!

"Mr. Bucket, I'm going to run away ~"

"You can afford this piece of trash."

"Just fine, why don't you go to North Street ~"

"Nice. South Avenue is over."

"Ma'am! Hey, hey, get out of the way, Muggy!

I discovered me and my voice was a little far away, so I was able to scatter it lightly at Mr. Sweet Lori's quick decision.

Station carriages run around the city even during festivals.

We caught the station carriage, which was just leaving, and we even came to the North Street festival venue.

The [capital Zabrina] is huge.

If you lose it, it will be difficult to find it anymore.

Especially when it's a festival.

"Looks like the store that's out is basically the same ~"

"It's hard to get around it all. It's happening over the course of three days in the first place, so that you can participate in any one of them overnight."

"Even so, you're just buying in ~"

"Except for this. Let's have some fun!

"Yes ~ yes. I'll go out with you ~"

We were able to enjoy plenty of New Year's Eve festivals that lasted three days.

Now you don't seem to have any more memories this year.

Nice to see you next year, [Furo-no-no].
