As for the crusade on the Deus Plains, there were a number of reports from quite early on that 'you should have defeated all the monsters, but somehow the crusade won't end'.

But it's usual for a report like that to come up during a tournament, because there were countless guys outside of the Deus Plains who said the same thing, "You've got guys who haven't defeated you. Look for it better," he was gently cleaned up.

However, for some time after the launch of "Cat Ear Cat," the suspicion surfaced that there might be some bug in the Deus Plains due to similar phenomena occurring in end-of-life characters that have been enriched with opposing items and abilities.

That's when the rumor of The Hidden Monster of the Great Rock came to pass.

The rumor is that at crusade competitions, if you go to the back of the big rock in the southwest, or the south side of the rock, you will hear strange noises from the rock from time to time.

The sound was found to be heard in five-minute increments, but will continue to be heard even after 45 minutes after the monster pop ends.

From there, rumors were told that maybe there was a special event monster in the Rock Mountains that was undermining the completion of the Crusade.

But in the vortex of the disturbance, one did not come to the conclusion of an event monster, but focused on the particularities of the terrain of the Plains of Deus.

The Deus plains are arranged with shrubs and rocks at approximately constant intervals, but there are places where they do not exist at all a little from the great rocks of the south.

Once there, although only the grass grows, as do others, for some reason only in that area there is no pop point, and if no tree grows, there is not even a small rock placed.

And oddly enough, the breadth of that "place of nothing" is almost equal to the breadth of the "big rock next door".

And when he (or she) first noticed the fact, he made the inference that the big rock, which was originally in "Where Nothing", had for some reason been moved to where the big rock now is.

And if you think about it that way, the bizarre rumors I mentioned will also bring credibility to you more clearly.

When an obstacle is placed on a pop point, the monster shifts sideways only slightly to pop, but if the obstacle placed on the pop point was huge, reports had already been made that the monster pop itself would be cancelled.

This means that because of moving large rocks to places that were originally normal flats, pop points have been set in the rocks, and only one, monster pop impossible pop point, has been created on the Deus plains.

This was a really convincing hypothesis, but then it would be impossible to verify.

In any case, the game cannot interfere with rocks, ground or other terrain.

It's an indestructible object, or it doesn't have a destructible setting on it.

Eventually, the rumors weathered, and I've forgotten them so far, too.

But this world is a game, not a game.

If this world is a mixture of reality and games, we can make sure of it.

"Ringo, here! I need you to scrape this place down!

We went around the back of the big rock at full speed and found a place where we thought it was rumored to be.

All you have to do is put a hole in here.

"... n"

A subtly growing number of apples lately thunderbolt with such a small response.

Golden is equipped with Guruno lime rare drops, golden cherry blossoms, adding even more offense to the apple's thunderbolt as it shreds the rock while it looks at it.

"Keep it up, keep it up!

Focus as much as you can down there, and if you can, don't let the rocks collapse. "

Even with that instruction, I looked at the clock.

At 3: 14, it's almost 15.

I waited for that moment as I heard the thunderbolt choosing the rocks, my ears stumbling.

"Ringo, stop right there!

And 3: 15: 0.

particles of light gather together in the dust that is about to

"Out!

One golden norime emerged from the great rock that was chosen.

"Goddamn it, you sneaky...!

Then for a while.

We boiled down to the discovery of a new hunting ground, but as time went on, rush and agitation grew.

Now we have a complete monopoly on this point.

But there's never been a monster out of this point, so the monster will continue to gush from here for ten more times or 45 minutes.

If someone sniffs out about this place in the meantime, it's going to be a hassle.

Or so, I'm not willing to miss this point I just found.

The first one to show up naturally finished well and stretched that score to 67.

If you stick it up here, you'll be able to stretch your points up to 76 with little difficulty.

Some people would say that just for ten, to that extent, is not enough to counter sharks.

True, if sharks really kept hunting to the end, 76 might not be enough.

But that's when the shark said, "It's almost over."

If sharks cut up hunting on the way out of their chronic minds, they still have a winning chance.

And in that evidence, there were still pop points on the southern edge that had not yet been hunted.

I can't do it all. But I want to stick here until it reaches at least three or seventy more.

Put my thoughts on that, and time flings by.

The second one came out, but we've handled ten of them before, and there's no way we're going to lose one more golden.

Five minutes of waiting time will come again if we clean him up lightly in less than thirty seconds.

I'm not going anywhere else because I don't have any other living points anymore.

We'll have to wait here again.

"... hmm?

I couldn't hide my frustration. I got a little hand on my shoulder.

An apple.

"What's wrong with you?

I ask, but the apple answers nothing.

At a time when I was puzzled, the apple kept silently resting its hand on my shoulder,

"... Cancer, huh?

That's all I said, and you walked away from me immediately.

I don't know, maybe you encouraged me.

(... right)

I can't help but be in a hurry.

Rather than that, let's decide to use our time for something more beneficial.

"All right!"

At this standby time, I decided to try the magic of the fire attribute, which has recently become available.

The magic of "Cat Ear Cat" is a hassle compared to skill.

Unlike skills that can be used instantly simply by ordering a skill name, magic has a system called 'Chant', 'Chant Standby', 'Multiple Chant' and 'Time Limit Activated'.

We need to make sure that the specifications around here are not different from the game.

"'Powered'!

To use magic, first order the magic you want to use.

The player then enters a state of 'chanting' for a certain amount of time, depending on the magical difficulty he wants to use.

Chanting doesn't require a player to read up on anything in particular.

It automatically consumes the MP and the system completes the magic on its own.

Thankfully, all kinds of abilities drop dramatically while chanting, rendering skills unusable.

With all the disadvantages, it is normal for wizard characters to reduce their effects and time with gear.

And when you finish a certain amount of chanting time, the next thing you know, you're in a 'chanting standby' state.

Talent levels don't drop when you're in this state, but you still can't use your skills.

By targeting your goals in this chant standby state and ordering your magic name again, you can finally use magic.

But because of this, for warrior-based characters, I decide to try the magic 'time limit activated'.

"Time Limit Activation" is a technique that determines the time after 30 seconds, like two minutes, and activates magic with a time difference.

The benefits of this move include the fact that the "Chant Standby" is released at the moment the activation time is set, so if you do it well, you can use skills and magic at the same time.

Of course, you can use magic as well as skills, so it's possible to use two of the same magic at the same time.

However, as a disadvantage, time magic cannot cancel activation or change the target, so missetting may render it pointless or, worst of all, attack your people.

However, if it's magic that targets you like power-ups, that disadvantage has little to do with it.

I activate the power-up with a "time limit of 10 seconds".

And before that time comes,

"" Yokohama "!

Activate skills with agnostic fire.

The skill was activated without any problems,

"Come on!"

I had a blunt response and the attack was bounced by a rock.

But that's where the ten-second appointment ends.

It takes the magic of powering me up.

"" Yokohama "!

Don't let your hair in and activate your skills again.

It's not like before the magic took place.

A more powerful blow struck the Great Rock,

"Come on!"

I knew it was played.

Apparently, it won't even break the rock to the extent of its increased attack power.

Easier to do this would tell the story of how powerful the apple thunderstorm that shredded.

I dropped my shoulder, but the rush went somewhere because of it.

Now, well, both magic and time activation worked well, so you should be satisfied with this.

I'd love to try "Multiple Chanting" anyway, but "Multiple Chanting" is a wizard's move to chant the same magic again and increase its power, which I can't use right now.

I also tried 'Petite Pro-John' afterwards, but it activated fine.

The pungent explosion of "Petite Pro-John" caught Apple's interest,

"... Hanabi?

It seemed like fun to ask, so when I was using it all over in good shape, the MP ran out, and the magic experiment was canceled there.

We kept hunting well, forgetting the anxiety that people might come while we were doing so much.

And......

"" Six Pokes "!

Finally, the eighth Nolime was tightened up as usual, and it was time for me to confirm the drop.

"Ooh. Amazing.

I really didn't think Nolime would stay here. "

From behind, I heard a man.

"Who?

I turned to be bounced.

Turning around, one man stood about ten meters from us.

To that appearance, breathe.

"" Ryden the Tea Drink, "or"

When I spilled it unexpectedly, the man, Ryden, dusted his face with pleasure.

"Heh. You know about me.

I don't remember getting two names for "Tea Drink," but it feels good to know the name of someone I met. "

"Ryden the Tea Drinker" is a man in his twenties, with long hair tied behind him, an atmosphere that makes him want to describe a eater or a daylight lamp.

The motto, or best course of action, was' Go see him stronger than me ', and after putting it into practice, he became a much loved character by the' cat ear cat 'player.

The two names "Tea Drinks" also come from around there, and the beloved character with that meaning was in a comic book a long time ago or something.

But that's a story in the game.

It wasn't at the Lyden event that I encountered at the Crusade.

Lyden looks like this and is a skilled adventurer at level 130.

I can tell you that no matter how much our level has gone up, we don't want to be enemies.

(... what do we do?

The score now is 74 pieces without having to put the golden cherry blossoms on the account.

Even if we leave here, we can say that the score is sufficient.

But Ryden, who felt the atmosphere, snitched the words as he panicked.

"Oops. Don't have those swordswallowing eyes.

I just got a message from the princess. "

"... princess?

For a moment, I saw the apple.

But that can't be right.

So, no way, Mayuki?

I only had that expectation for a moment.

"Uh, wouldn't a princess make sense?

It's a shark.

Look, that big ear, I use a knife... "

Totally different.

Apparently, that cat ear samurai, the samurai habit calls me a princess or something.

"Because I don't see Norime anymore. Oh, I was back in the city, too.

Then the princess came and told me if there might still be Nolime and told me where this place was.

So, when I told you I was coming to see what was going on because it sounded interesting, you finally asked me to give you a message. "

"Message?"

"'I'll be waiting in the city.'"

It's really simple, and I've already heard that.

As he twisted his head to an inexplicable message, Ryden gave him a grin that looked bad in character.

"No, on the pretext of a message, Mr. Guided Princess, I might have been worried about you.

"If there's an adventurer falling in that place, bring him before me at all costs," he said.

Then I laughed deliberately at Lyden's tense saying, "Whoa, this was stopping me," but apparently there's really no hostility.

At least, if you believe in game settings, you're not a character who plays tricks or shit mud.

I'm just a little off guard.

"Sounds like you're doing pretty well even though.

How many the hell did you take down?

I'm going to ask you a few questions about whether you've seen my guard loose.

I wasn't sure whether to answer it or not.

"I did 21, by the way!

Unnervous about the word,

"... 90, maybe"

That's how I returned the answer in the end.

I have a feeling that I have read Saba just a little bit, but I said about it, so I guess I'm not mistaken.

"Ho! That's amazing!

Me. Then you're very invincible!

Lyden was surprised, but didn't miss that eye glowing sharply the moment I spoke of numbers.

Looks like a daylight character after all.

This is why 'Cat Ear Cat' can't be distracted.

"From what I've seen, it feels like we're both new.

After all, my "hose hit" power wasn't wrong. "

"Ugh...!

They heard the nostalgic word, and it almost erupted.

But without worrying about it, Ryden continued to look like he was having fun.

"Oh, no, you didn't say that.

I actually have eyes for the strong and the luck of running into the strong.

The first time I found that out was when I was racing.

The ability to hit a strong horse, the name "Horse Hit," has been important ever since. "

Ryden proudly speaks, but the power to hit the horse, 'Horse Hit', is given a different name among the players.

Ryden appears many times, both in the story and in sub-events, to encounter more powerful enemies than himself and to engage in battle with him.

That's really the protagonist if you ask, but the problem is that this Ryden, in that battle, is bound to lose (...).

That gives another meaning to Horse Hit, a power that can meet a strong guy.

The ability to meet a strong guy and fight good, but only pull up the other guy's power and lose.

In other words, it is a 'horse of choice' force.

What are you hiding? Lyden is one of the best horse characters in Cat Ear Cat!

"So, what are we going to do?

It's time for the mass outbreak, but you're still gonna be here?

Lyden asks me more about the "cat, ear, cat."

At the end of the Mass Occurrence Time, Mass Occurrence Monsters will not disappear or will no longer count toward the Crusade Count, but you will not receive a prize for the Games unless you report within an hour of the end of the Mass Occurrence.

"Next, I'm thinking about doing it one last time.

If another one comes out at 3: 55, we'll be done there. "

At 4 o'clock, the time for mass occurrences will be over and normal monsters will appear on this map as well.

I know we can handle a level 50 monster right now, but I can't risk staying in initial gear.

In fact, where I knocked him down to the ninth, I had discussed and decided to give up the last one and go home with Apple.

What bothered me was Ryden's trend.

"Hmm. Because of that, I guess I'll take a tour of it.

You can expect a homecoming escort. "

I've made such suggestions as to whether you want to conduct hostile inspections or take care of them.

Honestly, I don't feel comfortable showing you how the hunt is, but you could end up with a thunderbolt rush of apples for the last one or so.

I accepted it and decided to wait for four o'clock to come along with Ryden.

But I should have thought about it.

Why Ryden visited this place at this time.

"Soma"

The first sign I noticed was the apple.

I guess the time has come.

The particles of light gather to shape the monster, but things are not right.

"Dude. This is a pretty big no-lime..."

Lyden leaves a smooth comment next door, but I didn't mind.

(Mama, or...)

A place called Deus Plains.

A forgotten place from the game called Pop Point in the Rock.

And Ryden, the presence of a man next door who was told that there were strong enemies in one place.

Those three elements made me have the worst expectations.

Particles form the shape of a certain monster.

And I've been keeping you informed that that shape has hit my worst predictions.

"It's still time for a massive outbreak, isn't it?

Why are there so many big monsters out there?

Lyden asks me for my consent, but I couldn't answer.

I can't stop my body trembling.

The roots of my teeth don't even fit to talk about something, my head gets messed up and I'm speechless.

"... soma"

Before I knew it, an apple was coming next to me.

But I can't even give her back her words.

It was just a glimpse of the light shaping its giant and the fiercest monster showing up.

(Ku, ru...!

An ugly giant, covered in white meat.

A vicious demon who wields a meat-cutting knife that is too thick and blunt.

"King, Butcher...!

Once, "Minch Festival," a bug that supposedly killed the most players out of a few bugs in "Cat Ear Cats," and should have been fixed first with a patch.

- That fear was now about to resurrect in another world.
