□ Wang Du Althea [Holy Knight] Ray Sterling

I logged in by specifying yesterday's logout point, not Gideon's savepoint because it is a meeting in Wang Du.

There was a little anxiety because the place was close to the main office, but fortunately there was no ambush.

... Wait. Senior Tsukisha (let's call him this because he seems to be a senior in third grade at once. Although chemistry remains chemistry even in seniors) may be lurking in the shadows again.

Just in case, I'll kick the shadow at my feet with [Purple Grievance Runaway] coated with "Holy Another Silver Light".

... No response. Apparently not.

"Looks like we made it to college... there's another spark of trouble."

As I make sure I'm safe, a nemesis comes out of the crest and calls out to me.

Needless to say, the spark of trouble is that that chemist is in the same college.

"Well, it looks like we've been safely cut through. Not above all. I can't seem to help you in any way with your Lord's crisis."

I wonder what. I'm mocking myself if Nemesis is some kind of infidelity and...

"... I got a little worried while the Lord was over there"

You read my mind, and Nemesis answers with a slight sinking.

"Yesterday's battle, I have done nothing to help. Even when [Assassin King] showered me with a machete, that would have been the same, not just me, but just a weapon"

That may be so......

"In view of my powerlessness like that, I think. and how much we could have grown from that fight with [Gardranda]."

"You're growing up."

There's no way I didn't.

"... I thought your lord would say so. But now I haven't evolved."

"But you've been able to do it before, even if it hasn't evolved"

"…" That ”? But it's a move that could not even be used in the battle against [the Pope] or [the King of Assassins]"

"One of these days I'll have the opportunity to use it in action. With the one I wore. So, well... you're depressed forever. And don't worry about technology and performance. Your growth, your hard work, I know better than anyone."

And when he said so, and slapped him on the shoulder, Nemesis said, Surely, the Lord is naughty from time to time. He's like a bloodthirsty teacher "... and smiled bitterly.

Apparently, I'm in a better mood.

"And you're going to act with someone you know over there today? It's the first time, except for Kumanisan."

"Indeed."

Well, I'm supposed to rendezvous with seniors in front of every fountain, but here's one problem.

"The seniors seemed to know me, but I had trouble rendezvous because I missed the other face and name."

Somehow, they said, "I'll log in and I'll tell you."

But in the end, what should be done about the issue of unknown names?

I guess that sculpture and moonshadow seniors playing with real faces and names around here would be fine, but Senior Fujiyashi wouldn't exactly be imitating that.

Well, how did we meet up? He said he'd just wait for them to hear from him.

I haven't changed my voice, so when it's time, why don't you say, "Ray's here?"

But if the seniors are late due to some circumstances... don't be ashamed of me.

"Do you have any good meeting hands?"

Meet me... before the fountain... brother.

".................. ah"

You had that hand.

"... you gonna do it?

"We'll have to do it. In this case"

◇

A few minutes later, I was sitting on the edge of the fountain.

- With a placard marked 'Welcome KF Senior' on your right hand side.

"You'll notice this"

Needless to say, KF is Kozue Fujibayashi's initial.

This is happening because I was distracted from hearing the name of my senior avatar.

"... I feel like I'm gathering my gaze."

"That would stand out if you had a tag."

Besides, it doesn't make sense if seniors can't even look at it.

"Don't you care"

"I've gotten used to it because I've seen more strange things these days"

Maybe it's the impact of Franklin's case.

Because that white coat relayed the battle between me and [RSK] to Gideon and Wang Du, he's strangely known his face.

Franklin really doesn't do a lot of things.

"... about 70% of the time, I think it's because of my current outfit."

What are you talking about?

But, my lord, I stopped by Kumanisan step by step.

"Extra-cardiac Kumar"

"Did you pass it on?!?"

... No, it's a joke, so don't be scared to shake like that.

"Hmm?"

We've been collecting gaze for a while now - 'No, I haven't' - but there was a sense of something odd mixing up in that gaze.

How dare you get sharper at the signs of the others after entering Dendro.

Well, the lord of odd gaze is looking at this one from across the crowd...... it was huge armor.

Its height would have reached three meters.

In height, there are more than four meters of swift feathers from normal times, but the armor, the lord of this gaze, was also accompanied by thickness.

Also, I can't see the full face helm and the scalp at all because it covers my whole body without gaps.

The helm doesn't even have a slit, but it has a design that is as eye-catching as robotic animation. That's for this one, so you're probably looking at me.

And you noticed what I was looking at, the armored giant turned his heel and walked across the alley.

"What was that?

"Aren't you a fan?"

Not even a case like that since Franklin's incident...... that armor probably isn't.

I couldn't see my eyes, but that atmosphere was heartless... "observing” wind.

And that armor, it's like I saw it somewhere...

"... well, maybe I was just jerking off on the billboards"

It's possible. Even I was surprised when my brother, dressed as a bear with a plaque, was in formation before the fountain.

In my case, the outfit is decenter than my brother's.

"... Huh?

Nemesis reacts like, "You're serious, Kako," but I guess so.

Bear dressing and a somewhat disturbing but regular outfit. I don't even have to compare.

Nemesis was convinced or meditated and exhaled. I just wasn't sure what the phrase "too late..." meant when I whined at the same time.

◇

"Is that you, Bird?

There was someone who called out to me like that, twenty minutes to wait on the stand.

There was someone there who spoke in the same voice I didn't recognize but heard in real life the other day.

"Yes. Are you Senior Fujiyashi?

"Yep. Good, you could rendezvous"

The senior avatar was... very normal if not misunderstood.

There isn't much of a senior figure left, but he's about the same height.

The type of equipment does not look particularly distinctive, although it seems to perform well. Of course not.

Strongly speaking, it is characterised by wearing glasses, something that we have in common with real life.

Compared to the faces, including my brother's, and the outfits of the dueling rankers who have been doing mock fights a lot lately... it is rather reassuring.

"I'm glad we were able to rendezvous, but what about that outfit... and the billboards?

"I tried to imitate what my brother was doing before. Was it weird after all?

"... a little surprised, that's all"

Well, what would it be between now and now?

"Still, you're really that Ray Sterling"

"Yeah, well"

"With celebrities, you get a little nervous"

…………

As Nemesis said, there have been a few people here lately who talk to me as a fan.

There is a strange illumination when people I know in real life say "celebrities".

"Now let's head to the guild. It's both of us, and they're both in combat, so crusade quests seem good, not collections. I'll leave the choice of quest to you, Ray."

"Yes. Oh, speaking of which, I'm [the Holy Knight], but what's your senior job?

"The main job now is [Shield Giant]"

I didn't know what kind of job [Shield Giant] was, but according to seniors, "I'm a senior Shield Skill Specialist and can use as long as I have the STR I need for a shield of any size" job.

I know it's a defense-focused job, but the sound of [giant] seems kind of a mismatch.

And I was wondering before we had a party.

"What is the name of your senior avatar?

No way. Neither this one nor the name Fujiyashi Minato.

I'm not that chemist and his secretary.

"... right"

The named senior came up with a few ideas for some reason before

"Beasley, call me"

"Yes, …?

Once I nodded, I realized that was a slightly odd word.

What does it mean to call me Beasley (...), not that the name of the avatar is Beasley?

"My name is different, but that's what my closest friends call me. Plus, it's a little long."

That's what the seniors said, and they sent me an application to join the party.

The names displayed there were indeed long and, depending on what you might see, abbreviated as "Beasley".

I accepted the application and let the seniors join the party.

Incidentally, the total level of seniors is 485, which is likely to be proficient.

"I used to kanst. Because I'm now in a trial and error with the job configuration."

Yeah, speaking of which, you heard from your brother that you could reset the job and change the configuration at the beginning.

I'm only in my first position, so I'm not on edge.

"Now that we've had a party, introduce yourself again. This is Beasley. Best wishes."

"Ah, yes. I'm Ray Sterling. Best regards,"

"Uhm! And it's Nemesis, where I'm Ray's Embrio. Say hello to Beasley."

"Regards"

Either way, I made it to the guild to safely rendezvous with my senior and organize a party and do quests with him.

◇

I have come to the Alliance of the King's Capital since I was questioned for delivery to Gideon.

It has not been a month since then, so the interior has not changed.

Me and my seniors got to the Alliance table and were looking for a quest to take as we glanced through that thick catalog.

Looking for quests while talking to seniors. Not oh, not like this.

"... hmm?

I've checked enough......, I notice something noisy going on around the counter.

The cause was one boy complaining about something to officials across the counter.

"That's why I want you to look for my stepfather, who was gone six months ago!

"Excuse me...... The case cannot be accepted by the Adventurer Alliance because it conflicts with special notes."

Officials look distressed by the response, and adventurers around them look troubled.

Apparently, the boy is asking to find people, but under some circumstances, the Alliance side is turning down orders.

"A search request, huh?

"We also accept it in the Adventurer's Guild, but it's not a very popular quest. It's going to take a lot of time, and you're going to need specialized skills and a lot of listening."

True, it would be easier to defeat monsters or collect items than it is to do that, depending on what you think.

Well, the first quest I took was a search... because I knew where it was right away.

"Still, there are skills you can use to find people, right?

"Yes. Whether it's job skills or inherent skills in Embrio, there are skills that can help you find people. But."

Seniors cut words there, and look at the boy in front of the counter and the officials of the guild.

"Speaking of special notes on finding people..."

And, at that time, you see, Tian's adventurer, who was nearby, talks to him to put his hand on the boy's shoulder and tell him.

"Boy, you've been missing for almost six months, haven't you? Unfortunately, the boy's father..."

"You can't die!

He waves off the hand of an adventurer who almost tells him to give up, and the boy rebels strongly.

Somehow he said, "You can't die! I felt that there was more to the word than my desire.

"Because..."

The boy's next utterance... was enough to stun me.

"My father-in-law, what the hell!
