Golden Experience

Episode 48: Call Me Gil

Wayne didn't know why.

I haven't seen Rae since the day we went into the woods together.

I was wondering if it was real or errands, or if it was just not the right time, but I couldn't get in touch with Wayne because I didn't register as a friend.

While we were doing that, we celebrated the day of a massive event. I was wondering if I could see her locally if she was going to join me, etc.

In the end, I didn't see anyone like that at the event venue, and unfortunately Wayne was watching the finals alone in the audience because he also lost the qualifying round in Block 2.

Even compared to the qualifying round, the final was won at an overwhelming rate. A mysterious player in black all-body armor slaughtered the other players exactly on one armored sleeve.

It was only after Wayne got confused.

Good luck. First official event: The winner of the Battle Royal is Dear [Rare]. Congratulations. "

"Since the event has ended with a significant amount of scheduled time, with the help of the winner [Rare], we would like to hold an Exhibition Match for Freedom of Participation"

"The rules are similar to Battle Royal, but special prizes are available for players who defeat [Rare], the winner."

"If you wish to participate, go inside the central arena."

Rare. You said rare. The system.

You cannot use a name already used in this game. So the only player named "Rare" should be that Rare that Wayne knows.

So is the black armor on the monitor that rare?

What happened in the two weeks I was without seeing Wayne?

I wore initial gear when I first met him, he should have been just a beginner. Magic was also saying things like seeing for the first time. That's what it is.

Anyway, I have to see him in person. We have to meet and make sure.

Wayne went down to the arena.

An announcement of the deadline for participation flowed, after which the participants were forwarded to the field.

It was the meadows that Wayne stepped down. Anyway, I have to look for Rae.

According to the system announcement, if you defeat Rare, you'll get a special award and a hit. Then most of the purpose of the participants would be rare.

"Dear defeated players," everyone should get an award for defeating multiple players. That means it's the same as experience with normal combat, etc. This means that if the purpose is rare, you don't have to think about competing among the participants.

If so, Rae should be there before the other players get together. We decided to look for those participants first.

There were several players around from the meadows to the woods. I felt like I had eyes in the distance, but I didn't particularly react to Wayne. I mean, the purpose of those players is rare.

Wayne slowly approached those players, being careful not to be alarmed.

"Hey. Is the purpose the winner?

As we approached the point where we could have a conversation, we spoke from the other side.

"Oh, right. You too?"

"Of course. Even when it comes to Battle Royal, no matter how much you do it like that, it will be that winner, and if the average player wants to have a result, we'll have to form a detachment party and defeat Lasbos"

"Russ boss..."

"It would fit, wouldn't it? Even if that doesn't work, I'd like to at least look inside that helmet."

Wayne knows that there's an unspoiled Cat Beast girl's face there.

"Right..."

Wayne decided to accompany them. Even if you look in the dark clouds, it will be easier to find them with more people.

The trees in the woods are not as dense as the sawdust and can be looked over to some extent. You can see players heading in a certain direction through the woods.

"Do those players have the same purpose?

"Maybe a friend or something is spotting the boss and getting in touch with him."

"All right, let's follow it"

Through the forest, there were many players there.

At the end of their gaze, there's probably Rae. I want to see you.

"Okay! That's all we'll have to get together! Let's go, Reid, let's go!

Someone took the pronunciation and the end of the war was opened.

Wayne can fight close or far, but the purpose is to meet Rae, so he runs forward. If the battle starts, nature and everyone will fall apart and move easier to secure their position and rays. Run a battlefield that is no longer so dense as to trigger a wave of people.

On the front line that was thus reached, several players with shields and cemented their defenses with metal breasts etc. surrounded the black full-body armor.

Magic and arrows fly from a distance, and players with swords and spears are attacking black armor from the side of the shield while successfully avoiding it.

Wayne mixes there too.

Wayne would have floated if he was just a player like the one who partied extraordinarily in the finals to challenge Rare, but he doesn't seem to be. A wide range of players are fighting together here.

If Wayne mixes here, there's nothing evil noticeable.

Wayne called as he launched the attack.

"Rare!"

Rae turned to Wayne. None of the attacks I'm being exposed to seem to work at all, and where I cared about Wayne, there's no lethal beating into Rae.

"Rare! What the hell is going on! Why you!

"Oh my God, you! You know the champion!?

"You, let me talk to you later! Just tips on how to be that strong!

Not if you're dealing with other players now.

"Rare!"

But he didn't answer Wayne's voice or the voices of the other players, and Rae mumbled something when he put one hand up, roughly.

Moments later, a frightening number of thunderstorms were unleashed from Rare's hands, swirling around and raging around, raging the surrounding players together.

Wayne was stunned in the audience where he was returned.

"You were talking to the champion earlier. You're my friend?

It was the player who had shielded him earlier on the front line of the field who had spoken to Wayne like that.

"... no, as much as we've been hunting together a few times"

"Oh my God, is that so? But nobody knows who that player is right now, so you're the only source. Can't you manage to get in touch with her?

"... if I could see you. Ask about today. For all I know, she wasn't supposed to be such a strong player."

"Then maybe it means there's a way you can be strong at once in a short time. I'm getting worried about you. You, could you be my friend if you want? Let me know if you find anything."

That's how I give you my friend card. Wayne cursorily received it and put it in the inventory.

"I'm now friends with the character [Guinolegamesh]"

"Call me Gil about me. I really liked Gilgamesh, but I couldn't take it."

If that's the case, "Gill" isn't even an abbreviation. But if we don't actually even become friends like this, we won't know his real name anyway. I don't care if you call me Gil, nobody's gonna be in trouble.

……

For a moment, Wayne had something caught him. But now I can't think together.

Once Gil and I broke up there, Wayne decided to go back and log out today.

I forgot about the prize for attending the event, but it was sent inside the inventory after maintenance.
