Golden Experience

Episode 346: The Old Man

Old man.

You're not old enough to call me that, are you?

No, the name varies from person to person depending on their position. Regardless of the appearance, if this player were an elementary school student or something, it is possible that he is simply defining an adult male that he does not know in a broad sense as an old man. If that's the case, I have to say there's a problem in the sense of manners ─ ─

"Hold on tight. They're already on the battlefield. I know the old man was hurt, but switch it."

"What, you're hurting me."

It certainly wasn't such a swallowing situation.

A little distracted will not be enough for Bamboo to die, but most of the time this kind of chronic effort will lead to defeat.

You can tease your enemies or take your hands off them, but only if you know everything about their hands.

"─ ─ Does Tanuki talk too!?

"Now it's the same whether you're talking to one or three people!

Kill a bunch of udon and tanuki! The wolf is a beast! I'll take care of the old man!

"Roger that, but are there only two of them in Tanuki? Wouldn't it be better to have a bad old man?

"The boss of this group is that old man, but the owner of the koologi is probably Tanuki! Defeat Tanuki and the situation will be better!

What happened, I almost raised my voice. Of course, it's not because they called me a nasty old man.

A woman with light blue eyes suddenly discovered the connection between the professor and the marker cricket.

What's the house cage saying? He has eyes like this one, but the professor has his mouth half-opened, even dumbfounded.

"Ok ─ ─ no!? Is there a reason!?

I don't know if it's udon noodles or how many, but one of them is shouting to the leader who was called the princess.

Bamboo cheered with his heart.

I'd love to hear about that.

"Because the colors are similar! And then he said he could turn into an asshole!

"Ah, ah, that's right...."

I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about.

"... it's no use asking the princess for a logical explanation for her words and actions.

Rather, it makes sense to aim at the weakest enemy and reduce the number of enemies. There are a lot of them, and they're not bad hands. "

A player named Mariwolf pulled out his sword and headed for the house cage.

In front of the bamboo is a princess with light blue eyes.

And then you give up, and the other two go to the professor.

The party members seem to think "I can't help it" about the behavior of a leader named this princess, but Bamboo's reputation is different.

He's dangerous.

There was no scientific basis, no logical reason, just intuition, and all of a sudden I got the right answer.

It may have been a coincidence in itself, but the result is the result.

Good intuition is a fine talent.

And how about that confident look? I believe that's right and I don't doubt it, even though it's just a thought.

I'm afraid of a house cage type, but there's still room for discussion.

But this hand type doesn't listen. To be precise, I listen, but it doesn't affect me in any way. It's useless to say.

A woman who intuitively says the right answer, and doesn't listen to people.

I don't want to be involved with each other if I can.

Nevertheless, if we are confronted, we will have to fight.

"Hey, Tanuki! There are two enemies, but you can do it!?

"Nothing wrong with my thighs! Leave the mama to me!

I don't think so.

"... I'll knock down my black hair and put it in the cover."

"... please. Even so, I work for you. If you don't have to die, you'll never get past that."

In fact, the survival of professors is a high priority, as marker crickets also die when professors die.

But I'm not going to reveal it here now.

It's unclear what a black-haired player named Mariwolf can do for a house cage, and Bamboo should get rid of the princess and follow her quickly.

"How can you afford to be worried about your people?" Blaze Lance "!

I thought it might not be a proximity wearing shimmering clothes, but the princess is still a magician. Even though he is a magician, he is not sane to take the boss by himself, but it is a routine to see what other players were not particularly surprised about. It has been done well so far.

Blaze Lance is magical, so the bullet speed is fast. Fast, but not inevitably.

It seems to be quite talented from the thickness of the flames, but there is no need for vigilance if you are to this extent in a magical position.

It can be a lot of damage where it's taken, but you can't be alarmed. We should quickly clean up and follow up with the professor by making sure we avoid it and sprinkle it with range magic to counterattack. Is it because you are a magician, or the LP you see in "True Eyes" is not a big amount either.

That's what I thought in an instant, and I moved one step to the left.

There was no point in avoiding it on the left. Is it a habit if I say it strongly?

But the next moment, a shock struck the left flank.

"─ ─ It's hard! What are you wearing under that robe?

Looking down in surprise, the princess was teary-eyed as she rubbed her right hand fist.

─ ─ What!? Did you just get beaten up!?

No damage done.

Nothing is worn under the robe, but the skin of Deo Voldoraugur, which is half mummified, is originally hard. There's a Rare Robe in there, so Basic Attacks don't take that much damage.

The problem isn't the damage, it's the sudden attack from the blind spot.

In the first place, this princess must have just shot the magic over there.

Why are you here?

"─ ─ I see, the 'shrinkage'. Can you fight with your bare hands as well as your magic?"

"... the habits of monsters are known to me."

The princess kicked Bamboo's knee as she said it, and jumped back a distance with the recoil.

"─ ─ But if you activate Shrinkage immediately after shooting magic, you can't hit me at that time.

How did you know I was avoiding it to the left?

"Guess what!

It's still dangerous.

You should finish it quickly.

Once again, as her name suggests, the princess is dressed in a ruffled dress with white gloves and leather pumps.

I still know about the magic attack, but I can't usually think of a time when I get close enough to punch you.

I didn't mean to be alarmed, but I think I was a little overwhelmed by common sense.

"... it looks like I was licking it a little. From now on ─ ─"

"'Shrinkage'! Scrape Brow!

In an instant, he narrowed his distance and aimed his fist at his flank.

But if I know, I can handle it. If you can't seem to prevent an attack of this magnitude, your employer will give you all the love you need.

The fact that Bamboo is monitoring the professor means that Bamboo is also being monitored by the professor. It's not funny to get a very strange report.

Although it is unclear whether the current professor can afford to just worry about this one.

I grabbed the princess's forearm and stopped to avoid touching her glowing fist.

"─ ─ I guess I'm still on the way. Listen carefully to people."

"Ah! Let go of me, lewd! You pervert! What kind of person are you?

The princess twisted her body to the fulcrum of the grabbed arm and gave a high kick to Bamboo's face.

It's a great deal to do. This is more a player's real skill than a skill or talent.

As Bamboo let go, the princess landed dextrously with a high-kick recoil and kicked the ground again. It's like a cat.

No damage to the face.

I let go because I was upset by my inability to say "person."

It's not because I was hurt by being cursed as a pervert.

A player who behaves completely unpredictably from his abilities and skills that can be inferred from his movements.

I feel something that leads to rarity.

If this player keeps earning XP, they will one day grow into untouchable enemies.

I would like to scrape the experience here a little, but I can't do that either because it's during the event period.

However, I am concerned about the situation of the other two, and I can't care less about the princess.

Bamboo slightly lowered his hips and kicked the earth hard.

Eh…

"Phew."

And he dared to carry the shoulder tackle with the momentum of the rush.

"Fufu!

"'Shrinkage'"

The princess almost blew horizontally with a groan from the young ladies, chasing her with the "shrinkage".

The target point of the skill is beyond the orbit the princess is flying. Therefore, it is more correct to say that you overtook than to say that you pursued them.

I cancelled the post-skill stiffness the way I saw it in some thread and swung my fist straight up so that it flowed in tandem from that hip twist.

Goddamn!

The princess who just flew there is launched high above the sky.

Leave it like this and you will die from falling damage. Physical resistance once reduced damage when the bump was thrown away by Rare, but now it's fixed. If I can beat you from that height, I just can't do it.

But Bamboo didn't want to finish it.

I don't care what they called me an old man, but even in Bumb, the boy's heart remains.

Now is the time to make your dreams come true.

And he shouted with his right hand toward heaven.

"'Blaze Lance'!

A flaming spear was fired from Bamboo's hand, flying towards the princess above.

Its size is not comparable to that of the princess's spear. Difference in stats. If you have a similar style in which both magic and melee fights can be played, the difference in stat will appear as if it were the difference in power.

Bamboo's dream was to blow up an enemy launched into the sky with such a strange power.

Strictly speaking, this is different, but visually satisfactory.

The edge of the bamboo mouth lifts naturally.

The spear of fire flew in a straight line, piercing the target and burning.

The princess did not fall when the flame, which appeared to be a small explosion, disappeared because of the high power.

He must have died on impact and been respawned.

"... you know, fireworks. What a... fufufu..."

If it was based in this city, it would be resurrected sometime. But to that extent, pushing in numbers should be enough for the other members to deal with it. At first glance, you'll have a high probability of getting hit unexpectedly, but if you turn around the contact that there are players like that, it's fine.

As a mercenary, she dressed like a fool.

But it wasn't really a joke.

If it was just a fashionable costume, it would have been dead at the time of the first tackle or the upper. That didn't mean it looked just like a dress and had a lot of defense.

Same as this robe Bumb is wearing.

No, it doesn't mean the same performance, it means the same propensity. It looks just like a cloth and has a defense comparable to metal armor.

They said that this robe was made of special spider yarn.

It is now the Lacorine forest of the Hills kingdom, but I have heard that the Portree kingdom was its main region of origin.

Maybe that's why the player was in this city.

"... no, I don't care.

Besides, Tanuki and the cage... "

"─ ─ Is that it? Pervert old man."

"Ahhh?

"Fufu. I'm just kidding. Yes, it hurts! Why are you hitting me?

"Because I said rude things to my master"

"You must be the weird woman I was telling you about, not me!

Unexpectedly, that one was already over.

Whatever. There's even a verse where I've been observing the battle of Bumb.

Enough about being a perverted old man, but it would be a little embarrassing if you were watching me do it with that last line.

No, I have a hood, and it should be okay.

"Regardless of the house cage, Chi Ying has won well. Did the cage follow you?

"No, it was over by the time I got rid of the enemy. Strangely enough."

"It's not as strange as that. I'm also an MPC executive. This much is natural."

"... when did you become an executive?"

Until now, it seemed like a lie that my back hair was upside down due to fear and agitation.

< Well, if you keep talking about it, there's a lot of experience Crickets have earned me. I took it without using it because I thought it was for the time when something happened, but when I realized that it was exactly the time when something happened, I hurriedly shaken it to my talent.

That's why I won, which means numerical violence. Just like the Rare Ladies.

<... I see. >

Rare's fighting power isn't just due to numbers separately. I know Bumb very well about that, too.

However, even if I explain it, I don't know if the professor who is not used to fighting can understand it, and if I stare at each other for too long and remain silent, the house cage will run away again.

"Well, if it doesn't hurt, then so be it. We've taken care of the trouble, and we're going to join the raid."

"Master, by the way. I don't know what fireworks are."

Shut your mouth and I'll strip you.

So much so that the city of Aspen, which had long taken full responsibility for it as the southern wall of the kingdom of Portley, perished.

After confirming that players and knights were not respawned, the MPC decided to completely destroy the city, leaving Aspen behind.

The fall of Aspen brought great fear and anxiety to King Portley's people.

In this era, it became clear that safety could no longer be guaranteed by walls or the Knights alone.

People simply wished for the return of the young king, but King Ernest also realized that he could not protect the country as it is, and was taken away by the seizure of the ruins as soon as possible.
