Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

"Mitsuki shark......"

Glimpse of me calling my own name, but the shark said nothing and my defeated Golden headed to the place where Guru Nolime was.

I picked something up on the spot, blurring with great carelessness.

"No way......"

I couldn't believe it and saw what the shark had picked up.

It's something that looks familiar, no, too glittery and golden.

She spoke softly of the answer.

"Also, is it a norime gold coin"

And when I heard that, I was struck by a strange shock, even though I knew the answer.

The Nolime Gold Coin is a Guru Nolime drop item, as well as a delivery request and deliverable item for this crusade.

But that drop rate is low, only 10%.

But that little gold coin means a lot in this tournament.

Essentially, crusades and deliveries are made so that the expected value of the reward per capita is the same.

Nolime gold coins have a drop rate of 10%, which is actually ten times more difficult to obtain than simply defeating them.

So the amount of reward you get is also ten times higher than the Nolime Crusade.

But that being said, it's a 10% drop rate item, so it shouldn't be so easy to get...

(Right, Critical Point...!

I thought the shark slashed Noraime in two from the middle to show me his strength.

But that's not all.

Slashing from the middle means slashing the steep point of your forehead, or critical point.

Critical Correction doubles your chances of getting drop items from enemies defeated by sharks.

And that means that the sum of the rewards in the delivery is doubled, and consequently the amount of rewards per person is also 1.5 times what it would normally be if defeated.

(Shit. totally unexpected)

There was a preconception from the game that the system of drop-rate increases at critical points was entirely for players.

But he also talked about characters in the making that stabbing todomes in steeples would make it easier to drop items.

It's the common sense of adventurers, pervasive in the game system and in the inhabitants of this world.

Yet you didn't think that other humans would come after it, that you still hadn't lost the bad habit of thinking of people living in this world like NPCs.

(No, but you don't normally think about that)

Even I use countless skills, and the moving Golden has yet to break away from attacking Guru Nolime's Critical Point.

Or perhaps that can be done is about a shark among the 'cat ear cat' characters.

Of a few famous characters, why more than ever this one comes.

I feel the irrationality of the world.

(Think about it, isn't a shark exactly the kind of character you are for this tournament...)

High enough Attack to defeat Golden with a single blow.

The speed and skill needed to catch up with the escaping Golden and accurately target that critical point.

And the speed at which you can travel around countless pop points as quickly as you can.

If these three are sharks, they could come up with a high score that far exceeds my expectations.

I said if you knock down 50, you'll be fine, but it's outrageous.

It is no longer suspicious that there are 80 pebbles.

If I wanted to beat a shark for sure, I wondered if I could do without defeating a hundred, no, 120 or so sharks.

"I will no longer challenge you to a serious battle."

That's when a shark in a coin bag suddenly said those words.

It shows an atmosphere of carelessness anyway, but this could be...

"But you didn't forbid competing with others.

So this is about breaking your promise... "

"Maybe you still care that you lost to me?

If it's Mitsuki, Golden will have enemies who can level more easily than Guru Noraime, and I don't think she wants the money to be able to dispose of the transfer stone.

No way, she took part in this tournament to me...

"... you seem to have enjoyed the hunt in the corner."

Out of line!

No way, really, you're here to revenge for regretting losing to me?

But I'm not scared of my suspicious glances or sharks at all.

There is nothing unnatural about attitude or face, complete poker face.

Speaking of things different from usual, it was about a cat ear that moved busily.

The shark continues the conversation flat, moving his cat ear dizzily.

"But you don't have to go first from here.

There are never many more. "

But only when I said so did my cat ears proudly stand.

I have a bad feeling.

"... is that what you think?

Fighting is something he won't know until he opens his lid and sees it.

I don't know what to say, but I got a little nosey for her confidence.

Plus, I meant to wear it loose, but my cat ears don't move while standing up properly.

You don't seem really upset.

"If you think so, you can scratch your feet.

I'm almost done. "

"Finish?"

I accidentally leaked my questionable voice, reacting only slightly to cat ears,

"... that I will be back in the city in ten minutes.

I'll wait in the city.

Don't make me wait too long this time. "

To say just that, the shark immediately turned his back.

The same speed as when I showed up, I finally followed him with my eyes, rushing in the opposite direction from when I first came.

"... soma"

Looking at the vanishing direction, I was called by my neighbor and returned to me all the time.

My anxious apple eyes were still looking up at me.

Ringo, who didn't show much emotion at first, whether it was because of the game's setup or because he was deprived of his memory and standing position, but I feel like he's become more and more human lately.

There's one thing here, if I don't talk well and ease my anxiety.

"... it's okay, apple"

I put my hand on my shoulder and said vigorously, keeping my eyes firmly on the apple.

"Because second place, you get three times the prize!

For some reason, he looked very nasty.

That being said, I still want to rank as high as I can, and even money wants to make as much money as I can.

From there, we blank out all our previous plans and thought about a new policy that was aware of the existence of sharks.

First of all, stop hanging out with sharks.

I don't care what you think, I don't think you can keep up with shark annihilation and travel speeds.

Anyway, in the future, we should move not to get into contact with sharks.

What I encountered with sharks was around some way south of the center of the map.

There she came from the northeast direction and ran away slightly to the south western side.

From there, I can predict her movements to some extent.

The shark told me, 'I enjoy hunting in the corner'.

I mean, I can imagine a shark grasping my movements with a Seeker's ring.

She could have met me if she wanted to see me before then.

Yet I never encountered it before because she didn't feel like it.

On the contrary, then, why did you run into me at this time?

That probably makes the hypothesis that, on the opposite side of me, we're taking down Golden from the north, and the north has gone around somewhat further than this place.

Should I even say Operation One Roller, or Single Carpet Bombing?

No, I wouldn't consider such a horrible thing if I were someone other than her, but it's strange because if I were shark maneuverability.

From that hypothesis, I wonder if she has moved from north to south a little while moving east to west to zigzag.

At least that's what I see in the move that she came from the northeast and ran away to the southwest.

Little basis, but let's think about it on the assumption that sharks have moved that way.

If so, how should I move?

One option is first the operation of making every effort to get out north.

It's impossible to defeat an enemy that hasn't popped as much as she does.

If it was the northernmost side that first started Operation Roller, it is possible that the monster had barely popped yet at the time the shark turned.

Even if you don't have ten pop points left, you might be able to find a ton of them if you have about six left.

But that would be a bad idea.

There are many non-shark participants on the north side, and it is possible that the shark was back concerned about the leak in the first place.

It will take some time to get around, and if that doesn't yield results, I can't even get eyes on it.

Then on the contrary, what about going back south?

Although the shark went southwest, it would take some time for her to come to the southern edge, assuming her movements were as they had been.

Besides, we started to circle south, slightly east, flipped through the southwest, and came towards the center.

If the shark movement is as I imagined it would be, then the one on the southeast end will have neither me nor the shark on hand yet.

Speaking of shortcomings that have gone this way, it is possible to engage with the end-targeting participants.

Besides, would there be a risk that sharks would hold all other areas within a circle around the southeast, making scoring from elsewhere unwanted?

(No, still, let's go with this)

I've already decided not to meet sharks from the front.

Then it would be a good idea to head to the southeast where you are likely to score the most points at the moment.

"Apple, let's go back south.

South, there might be a point where no one's got a hand yet. "

When I said that, the apple nodded small.

In addition,

"... so?

You have felt a sense of crisis in the presence of sharks, and I have even made such a suggestion.

But to do that, I immediately shook my head to the side.

"No, I won't change the way I knock it down myself.

Probably the best way to do it right now. "

Only for a moment, I also thought about splitting it second-hand to increase efficiency, but that would be counterproductive.

Or at least I don't feel like Golden can defeat Nolime on his own.

"... n"

Apples seemed to know that we were working well together now.

He convinced me immediately.

"In the meantime, let's prioritize travel over looking for Golden.

We're gonna make the best of it. "

Confirming that the apple nodded again, I started moving southeast on the Divine Speed Cancel Move.

And an hour passed from the start of the tournament.

What a triple increase in the number of successful hunts, which was 22 as of 30 minutes, to 66.

The winning factor was that the operation hit the diagram and found a number of untouched pop points on the southeastern edge.

A clustered number of goldens became the next challenge: how to stop Guru Noraime, but there he used the habits of fugitive monsters well.

Fugitive monsters flee close or under attack, but unlike when attacked, they stop fleeing there once they escape a certain distance if they get close.

Besides, we also used the rule that monsters that have occurred in large quantities do not go out of the area.

We approached Golden little by little to disperse the herd, destroy each of the loose spots, or drive them to the southern edge of the area, where we were sure to end up one by one.

Of course, there are many failures when dealing with a lot of them, so some guys missed a couple of them, but they were able to score a lot of points here.

That he ran without even shaking his side until he reached the southern end.

The fact that Apple's all-powerful disease is faster than mine, and that he's been following my divine cancellation move across the holidays, can also be considered a factor in the success of this operation.

Besides, surprisingly, there were other points where the Golden remained besides the southeast edge.

I don't know why, but they didn't even get sharks around the southern edge.

I didn't go to say it was ten or nine at once, like Southeast, but I was able to get an extra score there for a few plain.

Finally, there were unexpected by-products.

It is a ninja "golden cherry blossom".

This is said to be an estimated drop rate of 0.1%. Golden is a rare drop of Gugli Nolime, a powerful item but not included among the delivery items.

Honestly, I thought Nolime gold coins might have been better this time only, but I can't say luxury.

Given the odds, let's say it's more of a lucky category to get one with this much hunting.

I decided to thank him for letting me use it and equipped him with apples.

The use of "Golden Cherry Blossoms", which is extraordinarily stronger than a heat knife, made it possible to defeat Golden in one blow and did not increase the efficiency of the hunt, but he seemed to like it.

There are many opaque places about apple strength in the first place, and I'm not sure if it's over Princess Shermia at the "King's Capital Raid" event or not.

Now that I think about it, but including the performance of the lightning strike, the apple was strong enough to say it couldn't be level 1, but I don't think that was enough to show overwhelming strength like it did during the "King's Capital Raid" event.

"King's Capital Raid" was a level 100 equivalent event, so what Princess Shermia was dealing with was a level 90 or so bird monster with supposedly low HP.

Still, I don't think I could have defeated that monster with a single blow with a thunderbolt of power to the point of being scratched by a rock.

If so, I also believe that it is possible that Shermia was not level 1 at that time, that it was corrected by gear, or that it was also event correction.

Whatever.

Of the limited time and resources, including the golden cherry blossom, I am confident that we have achieved the closest we can hope for.

However,

(Still, not enough...)

Given that look on the shark, I still don't mind about 66.

I'll see if there's a leak somewhere, but I couldn't find Golden at all anymore.

I also ran into a group of several crusade participants along the way, but it still seemed to be fruitless.

Most of us cut it up here and went back to the city.

Still a little over an hour from the start of the tournament.

Even so, I couldn't see Golden any more unnaturally.

Really, what about Golden? Has Nolime been hunted down?

But if one person defeated a monster in large quantities, the phenomenon that a monster in mass occurrence would be eradicated in a way that the rest of the human race would be after that leak was certainly also a game.

(Can't you do it anymore...)

If you think about it, the first 50 of them achieved their goal.

It did not envisage a non-standard existence like a shark, but this is a sufficient achievement.

It's not like I've decided I don't have the winning eye yet.

Looking at the clock, the time indicated 3: 11 p.m.

You won't be seeing the new Nolime for more than ten minutes.

Perhaps all Nolime has already been defeated by someone.

Besides, we worked hard enough.

It must be the right thing to end here.

"Then apple, so do we..."

I almost said let's go home, but I stopped talking.

(... no, it's not over yet)

I remember.

Whatever happens after two hours of mass occurrence, if the monster is wiped out and the tournament is over, there must be an announcement of termination from the guild that figured it out how.

The absence of it means that Golden will still have Guru Nolime left in the area.

(You're still saying there's a leak?

No, but...)

All of a sudden it came to my mind that this place, around Deus Plains, is a little rumor.

If that's true......

I look at the clock again.

3: 12 pm.

Critical, but close to destination.

I might still make it now.

"Apple, maybe we can still figure it out.

We're heading southwest!

That's what I screamed for, and I ran off without even confirming my response.

At least, you don't have to worry about getting lost.

Next destination, southwest of the Deus Plains, is the area's largest large rock.
