Golden Experience

Episode 51: A Little Troublesome XP Bag

When the maintenance was over and Rae logged in, a few announcements were coming. There were maintenance announcements, but this was something Rare had ignored by just looking at the title of what was coming before maintenance.

"Is that footage from the battle scene? Ma, anything if there's no dressing scene in it. Uh, subject to requesting permission for the video to be released after editing... Well, he's not even got a face, and whatever. Oh, yeah..."

I'll come up with one and write that down as a suggestion. Hopefully, it could be interesting.

"Well, then there's the player called Wayne."

"Was there anything wrong with Wayne?

That's what Kelly asks, who refrains from being by her side. Kelly held back between Wayne and the Queen almost all the time after entering the woods. Apparently, actions such as pretending to be weak or attacking his fellow engineer ants were pretty stressful, and he wasn't going to get involved with Wayne or anything unless Rae gave instructions.

"The other day at the event, I was away for about two hours. It's kind of there"

During those two hours, it's unclear if it was a logged-in decision for the families.

Since it was originally assumed that it would not be possible to gain experience in the event area, I was curious, so I instructed the distribution to earn experience in those two hours appropriately.

But because of the last excursion, I got a lot of experience, and I ended up not knowing how it was.

If it becomes an obstacle to the princess, why don't you throw it away?

"No, that doesn't extend... yeah. All right, let's do this. Ask Kelly to go to the city, where I possess Kelly in" Summoning the Sorcerer: The Spirit ". In that state, I made contact with Wayne.

─ ─ Lure them into the Great Forest and kill them for experience. "

Activate 'Summoning the Sorcerer: Spirit' with the goal of Kelly on the nearest city and possess it by Kelly. I've only borrowed Kelly's avatar since I did it once with my skills validation, but somehow I feel uncomfortable or not my own body. Exactly, so maybe it's natural.

If this is Mr. Armorsaka, it feels like he's on a robot that's a complete master-slave method, or he feels like he's playing that kind of VR game, which is too uncomfortable to bother him the other way around.

"If the original character's self is strong, which means he has a habit of acting in person, maybe that makes him uncomfortable or something."

In real life human terms, there is something like a habit of behavior that is used for each person, for example, for walking tolerance cards, so the muscles and nerves are optimized so that there is no obstacle to moving in that habit. It would be absolutely uncomfortable for someone else to take over and move the person's body because of it.

I don't think it reproduces that much in the game, but on the other hand, I also find it no wonder that this game is playing it.

"I wonder if highly developed science..."

Crushing, we head to the mercenary union. I've got more habits of leaking my own words. It would be nice to be among queens or something, but you have to be careful in times like this.

There aren't many mercenaries in a mercenary union - more than usual. Looking closely, he's apparently a player.

I don't feel the particular desperation of what I live rooted in this city, or worse yet, I come to the country in my spare time for an occasional holiday, feeling like an old grandson of a neighbor.

Rare has grown up mostly in the countryside in reality, so he's sensitive to those atmospheres. In this city, players are called tokai things.

Even if the VR develops and the chances of going outside are diminished, no, that's why the country and urban trenches have deepened. Something like country-specific obstruction faded, but so did the aggressiveness of wanting people to know about the local area.

"So Wayne wanted to be..."

He sat on a chair placed in the corner of the union lobby, looking at the floor. Whether this is in the game for a moment, or mistaken for a VR Occupational Stability, it's enough atmosphere for Rae to be confused. Although Rae has never been to a VR Occupational Stabilisation Station.

"Hey Wayne. Did I make you wait?"

"! Shh... Oh no... you came to see me"

"Sort of. He looked like he'd heard a lot about me, and I haven't seen him since I got back from the woods."

Rae pounded her tongue in her heart as she said it. With Wayne's reaction now, he thinks he's a player in the lobby and several people are looking at this one. I don't have any friends because I can't take that into account. And I wouldn't want Rae to tell me that Wayne doesn't have any friends as well.

"It's not silly to talk to you... but you've gotten a little noticeable. I want to talk quietly, and shall we go to that forest? At the outer edge, there were hardly any demons or people."

Wayne stood up and nodded with a tense face. Rae takes Wayne and leaves the mercenary union. That doesn't seem to be the kind of player to follow. It doesn't matter where I was.

While walking towards the woods, Rae made an effort to walk as uncomfortable as possible.

Not feeling uncomfortable with this body means that it is able to trace Kelly's habits.

I'm not sure how carefully Wayne watched Kelly's behavior, but it's like she's on a mission to disguise herself and have a meeting with someone she doesn't otherwise know if you try to be rare. Thinking about it also gives me quite a pleasant feeling. I'd like to act without finding out until the end if it's because of you.

When we arrived in the woods, we decided to split in for about twenty minutes for now. The last time Kelly came, she must have engineered just a lazy walk for about an hour, and if she walked twenty minutes, she wouldn't be able to capture it at all from outside the woods, nor would she have to go to depths around the last time. Even if he's gone that far, Ali won't come unless Rae tells him to.

The woods were originally Kelly's territory as well, and this behavior became more of a good training for Rae. It's very easy to walk when you try to avoid discomfort.

Periodic sentinel behavior that Riley and others are doing, and occasionally Rae may want to possess and mix it up.

"Well, I guess I can get around here. So, Wayne, what do you want to hear?

"... are you... are you really rare?

"Well, I am. I am rare. Definitely."

Now possessed by Kelly's body, it's definitely rare we're talking about. Rather, it wasn't rare until last time.

"My... I know Rare... I don't think it's you."
