Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu

Defensive specialization and retrospective.

A few days after doing the dungeon offense with Lily and the others. Maple was walking in a four-story all-night town each. Although Lily and I registered friends, we haven't seen each other since then. We didn't have much time to talk after we defeated the boss because it was local dissolution as it were after they defeated him.

"Next event..."

Lily and the others ended up knocking the boss out of that summoning skill. And I couldn't help but think of measures because of the information Sally got and what she could do. Neither that nor this is for the next event yet to be announced.

Surrey is working out early as well because it will definitely help one day.

"Guys, that was amazing... if I'm gonna fight you two, it's Sally and I, right?"

Both the Velvets and Lillies I recently met here were synergizing and getting stronger in the fight between the two of us. Though Sally is no less strong than she is, it may be difficult to win out without synergies.

"We need to see if the medals have any good skills too!

Though Maple doesn't originally want to win or that kind of stance, if he does, he doesn't do everything he can, and he doesn't even go ahead and lose.

Nevertheless, there was no such thing as using all the time to beat other players, and they were going to go to the so-called Cat Cafe, which was newly made to four layers today.

"If that sounds good, I'll come with Sally next time!

That's how Maple opened the store door, and there was a blue-haired girl in blue clothes playing with a few cats in the back.

"" Ah... "

Maple and the blue-haired girl, or disguised mi, overflowed each other that way when they looked at each other.

When Maple enters the store, he makes sure there are no other players around Mi to speak up.

"You were here, too, Mi."

"Yeah. I said it was new, so I didn't expect it to wear timing"

The two, who could fit in by chance, play with cats but talk about recent times.

"[Rapidfire] and [thunder storm] ah... even our guild tells us to be vigilant"

"So I was able to meet some of the top two people in that guild, and they were so strong!

"It's the type of Alliance Master who has the power to push back even if he's surrounded by numbers, so I guess he'll be eating up to the top in upcoming event fights."

There hasn't been an event that ranks out here for a while, so I guess I'll come and show my full strength.

"Yeah. He was really strong, and I think I'll be at the top"

"... Maple doesn't seem obsessed with that kind of thing, does he?"

"What? Hmmm...... maybe we should have some fun"

"Ha-ha-ha. - Then you didn't have to attack me at the fourth event."

"Oh, because we were all trying to get within 10th place then!

To the contents that contradicted what I had just said, Maple quickly figured out why she answered that, although she tilted her neck. I guess Maple worked hard for everyone who wanted to be superior then to enjoy what everyone around him seemed to enjoy.

"It was fun fighting with everyone!

"Nice. Is the event like an event with all its strength? Well, it's like a festival."

Nevertheless, as the Alliance Master of [Flame Emperor No Country], we can't even beat Maple. Alliance faces are also waiting for revenge opportunities, he said.

"It's not gonna be like that next time! On the other hand, this one's gonna take us down."

"Oh, be gentle..."

'Cause that's not gonna work.'

"Mmm, then this one is also a response with newly acquired skills!

"What!? Oh, you found something again?

"I can't show you because I have an appointment with Sally... yeah! I found something weird!

"Ha... oh, be gentle"

"Heh heh, I don't know if that's the case."

"Haha... I can't lose either"

"You and Mi are rivals, aren't you? Lily and the velvets have grown."

"If it's a fight, you can call me. With Maple, it's easier for me to win, too?

"Yeah! I hope we can fight together again!

Thus the two continue their conversation as they stroke the cat.

"Oh, yeah. Velvet was acting like Mi."

"Huh? Really? I hear how you fight, but you've never met and talked in person."

"It was a slightly different reason than Mi..."

"Right... there's no such thing as me..."

Unlike Mi, who can no longer turn back by getting to where he's going, Velvet's is something that doesn't matter if you know it's an act.

"When we first met, it felt so quiet... I was surprised that the atmosphere was completely different when I fought with all my might -"

When Maple tells us about the first time he fought Velvet and why he acts, Mi nods yeah yeah.

"I see, but I'm also willing to understand. Look, because sometimes I get pulled by gear. If it wasn't for the gear and the skills I got, it might have changed."

It can be said that the skills of [Flaming Emperor] and the gear that goes with it determined Mi's aftermath. Instead of moving the characters in the screen, the equipment and skills would have a huge impact if they were to fight.

"Sometimes I wonder if this gear would be better if Maple didn't even have to act?

"There may indeed be!

Maple also had several occasions to gear up the look that was in his skills, and to wear clothes that were in the atmosphere where he was going. Maybe the act is also on the extension line of it.

"It's virtual space, and there's that, isn't there? If you do too much...... I regret it...... Ugh"

In Mi's case, the day when it can be revealed probably won't come. That's why he seemed a little envious about the velvet.

"Do you want to see Velvet again? I can introduce you!

"Yeah, I'd love to. As long as I'm listening to you from Maple, you sound like a busy, fun guy."

"Then I'll ask you again!

When Maple talked about recent developments, the seeds of the story could hardly be exhausted in the way that the next one was from Mi.

Around that time Sally was thinking about the two guilds she had recently met here at Alliance Home.

"Hmm..."

How can I win? Though I think from the information I have at my disposal, the only conclusion to be drawn is that the minutes are bad.

"At least I'm tough on my own... if Maple is next door..."

Still, there are still many uncertain elements, so there is any chance that the advantage will be turned upside down. Velvet has declared from himself that there is a trump card, and Lily and the others still don't know the bottom.

Sally thought what was going on, and the Alliance Home door opened and a face came in that I saw.

"Uh, uh, Sally, I was there."

"... you're already coming in like your own guild. What's today, Frederica?

"This one's just the usual. - What's wrong?

Sally remembered something when she saw Frederica twirling her wand that it was still a duel today.

"Mm-hmm. You were in charge of information for once, weren't you?

"Not at all. -?

"... no, but they're trying to grab false information."

"Oh, I could do that, because it was about Sally."

"Ma, no. You know what [rapidfire] and [thunder storm] are? We fought together for a reason."

"Hmm, I'll tell you when I win the duel."

"It's not like the losing side is saying... fine. Shall we?"

"Yes, sir. Today is the day to win."

That said, the two move for a duel.

And then a few minutes later, the two returned, spearheaded by Frederica with a muffled expression. Frederica moves her legs flat as she lies down and rolls onto the couch.

"I felt like I wasn't here today. I thought I could."

"I'll switch when I get into the boulder."

"Mm-hmm. Machine."

"Yes, yes, as promised."

"Yes. It's crushing, isn't it?

Saying so, Frederica gives Sally the information she knows while checking her notes.

"That being said, some things aren't definitive. Start with [thunder storm]. Hinata's debuff, even though it's mostly a mobility inhibitory system, has its limitations, so I wonder if it would be advantageous if it could be used successfully."

I can say that it is harder than words because you need to unbuff or smooth it well to do so.

"I can't tell you enough."

"Ma'am. Conversely, Velvet has been lightning down forever - and it's stronger and more powerful, so it's strong for long fights. I'm in the basic five layers, but they were immersed in the six layers a while ago - so something might have happened. Velvet has thunderstorms, so why don't Sally keep an eye out?

"It's okay. I avoided that one"

"Isn't avoiding rain too disastrous?

"My evasion is improving, too."

"That's what I feel the most about... no, next time."

Frederica starts talking about [Rapidfire] when she switches pages of notes.

"I wonder if they say Wilbert will shoot the arrow inside, not to mention what Sally saw. I don't have any certainty, but I won't take it off. Lily's more troublesome when she's king than when she's made-up. Seems like there's a limit to the number of calls you can make at a time, but it seems like all you have to make is a cap"

If it is replenished each time it is broken. Lily's summons is practically limitless. However, Sally was more concerned with Wilbert than with the power of that number.

"Essentially...... well, I thought it was somewhere"

Skills that can't be helped for Sally. Instead, I guess we're lucky we haven't met before.

"So-so, don't take it until I find it, right? Sally decided I'd take her down."

"Oh, I can't do that because I have an appointment. But thank you, you're in charge of information."

"... because I just made a mistake then - it's true"

While I seem shy in retrospect of when Sally grabbed me for false information, I tell her that if I tease her too much, this one mixes fakes.

I'll see what I can do.

"Uh, I really don't like it because it looks like I could do it. One last thing. Those four Tame Monsters, it looks like nobody's seen them yet."

"Okay. Thanks for your help. I knew I was a little surprised."

"... throw it into the sixth floor."

"Oh, sorry."

While slamming lightly, Frederica's motivation was restored after which he duelled several times, but the result would always be the same.

A little after Maple and the others met with Lily, the contents and timing of the eighth event were finally announced.

125 Name: Unnamed Spear

A fully cooperative event.

126 Name: Unnamed Bowman

The time is a little further.

Unlike last time, they don't have any interpersonal elements.

127 Name: Unnamed Great Swordsman

Then the monster might be pretty strong.

The players will be trusted.

128 Name: Unnamed Big Shield User

If you're uninhabited, you can take it easy for now.

I don't hate being stuck around, either.

129 Name: Unnamed Bowman

Even so, the details haven't come up yet.

All I know is that the focus on exploration has an impact on the eight layers.

130 Name: Unnamed Spear

It feels like a passport when you're on the fourth floor.

131 Name: Unnamed Great Swordsman

You sure did that one, too.

It's cooperative, and I wonder if they'll distribute it to everyone depending on the outcome.

132 Name: Unnamed Big Shield User

They're not accelerating time for now, so if you're short on power, you're strengthening it in due course.

133 Name: Unnamed Wizard

Strengthen your power... I'm sorry, I might be strong.

134 Name: Unnamed Spear

What's up, man?

135 Name: Unnamed Wizard

I don't know if it's a Tame Monster or a Rare Event, but it's an unpopular valley bottom with bright white monsters.

He's not a crustacean, but he looks like he's wearing some kind of armor.

136 Name: Unnamed Great Swordsman

Oh, seriously? You've never heard of it.

137 Name: Unnamed Big Shield User

Good. Holy beasts, guardian beasts, that sort of thing.

138 Name: Unnamed Bowman

This is ahead of us.

139 Name: Unnamed Wizard

I wasn't ready then, and I ran away the minute they saw me.

I'm gonna go through it for a while.

140 Name: Unnamed Spear

Come on, man.

141 Name: Unnamed Great Swordsman

Strengthen your power or aim. You're Maple!

142 Name: Unnamed Wizard

Oh! I'd love to catch up with you, and I'll try to find you.
