Late. Tamer's day.

We were brought back to the village square by a player party we met at the fishing grounds.

I have introduced myself on the road. The woman who says she's a big fan of Kuma was named Marca.

The tent, guided by its marca, had a player with familiar purple hair. Siegfried is famous for his knight play. For me, I can also call him a three-title companion.

"Hey, was that Marka? What's the matter with you?

"Mr. Siegfried, I need to talk to you for a second. Event may proceed"

"Oh! That's good news!

"First, I want you to talk to Mr. Siegfried. My people are on their way to get Mr. Coxten right now."

"Okay. And is that the first time you've met him?

"Oh, it's Tamer's uto"

"I'm Sasha Knight, Siegfried. See you later. I've always wanted to see you."

"... you know me?

"That, of course. You're the winner of the same three titles, and you're famous for being the hero of Norm when it comes to pioneering silver!

Did they know? Well, he's not a bad guy, and I don't hate him because he doesn't look like he's making fun of me with regard to my title.

"I was looking forward to seeing Akari-kun when I heard he was a good person."

Speaking of which, you said Akali knew you. I was chatting with the two of us as it was, and Marka's people brought in another player. I didn't know, but they say he's the highest level on this server and the leader of a party that's said to be the top offensive group in regular games.

I wondered why such an awesome party hadn't competed in a militant tournament, but they weren't interested in PvP or anything else, which was originally a game against players, and they didn't compete in a militant tournament.

It is also at a glance on this server and seems to be somewhat of a leader or a central treatment. The player, Cockten, was wearing a tough piece of equipment that made him black all over his body and had a sense of mess and intimidation.

But when I greet him in horror, he immediately laughs and politely returns the greeting.

"Uh, hello"

"Yes, hello. I'm a cocktail guy. Pleasure."

"It's Tamer's uto. Greetings."

"No, welcome."

"No."

This feeling, this guy would definitely be a sociopath in real life. It reminded me of the atmosphere when exchanging business cards with sales people from other companies. They thought so, too. I'm smiling bitterly with my head on.

"Ha, you're going to bow your head all the way in the game"

"I know that. So I try not to use much respect or anything in the game."

"Ha, that's good too. I'm already stained, so it's easier to be respectful."

With Mr. Cocten all set, I guess he's ready. Marca starts talking about the giant bear she was attacked by. The point of encounter, the intensity, and the fact that it was wrapped in black.

"Is it black? Actually, there's been a few stories today about you counting with black monsters and misty monsters."

"I got into battle with the black rabbit, too. There were no drops when I defeated them and I only got Event Points."

"Me, too. Deep in the woods, he fought a wolf lizard wrapped in black. I'm pretty sure something's going on."

"Marka-kun. You got a video or something?

"Of course that is. Not for very long, but the bear looks perfect."

Marca showed me that video, but it was so powerful. It begins shortly after his companion is defeated by an ambush and is filmed fleeing with all his might from the bears coming towards him. Sometimes the photographer looks back and sees a fang-peeling bear approaching directly behind him in an awesome shape.

It became popular a while ago, you have the scare to go through a panic suspense movie that goes by your home video gaze.

"This is amazing. But I do know you're wearing a black candle."

"Oh. Still, the Markas are a strategy team, aren't they? I didn't expect to bring that party member back to death with one blow..."

"Right. Even if the Surprise Bonus and Critical overlap, a blow is..."

Cockten and Siegfried roaring when they heard about Marka. Even from them, this giant bear seems strong.

"Can't we even win Mr. Cocten's party?

"You don't know. I don't know what kind of special abilities you have."

"That's right...... I figured I'd have to fight a few times to see the pattern."

"But when I say we explore patterns, I think if we fight poorly, we risk total annihilation? Marca, isn't it dangerous for you guys alone?

"So I'm going to gather my collaborators"

And Marca told me about the operation and made me listen. Speak up to the people and look for people who will sacrifice themselves to explore the patterns. I just want to collect as many as possible and make every single person die because when I go back to death I will have fewer event points......

"To that end, I would also like to ask Mr. Siegfried, who has a wide face, and Mr. Cockten to cooperate. Silver here has promised to help us."

"Well, it doesn't help in battle. We need to do this."

"Right. Either way, we'll have to try and fight... Leave the first battle to my party. Maybe you'll all tell me you're going too. Because that's the kind of party we're fighting strong monsters for."

I see. So you're saying you're having fun hunting LJO.

"Let's hit acquaintances, too. You can have an extraordinary party and go to battle."

Cockten and Siegfried's cooperation was also mounted. Let's try to get the other collaborators together. Well, me and Mons are ad towers, and Marca and the others will do all the talking.

I decided to wait a while in front of the guild because Marca and the others said they were going to speak up.

Take a look at the ingredients obtained today in the inventory and think about what to make.

"Moommmm!"

"Kuma!"

"Cu!"

――♪

My kids are kneeling and doing something to make a circle. Taking a peek, at the center of the wheel was a mountain made of solidified soil and a stick pierced into that mountain.

The orthos, in turn, scrape the soil of that mountain with their hands one by one. Apparently, he's playing with a stick knock down. You did a great job as a kid, too.

"M...... mmm"

"Kumar......"

"... Kiku!

――♪

Three other people besides Sakura have a messy serious look. Slowly crumble the soil in such a cautious motion that each time you wipe the sweat off your forehead. It has an atmosphere as if it is challenging a great battle that has hung its life. Well, it's good to be serious about playing, isn't it?

But after many repetitions with the remainder of the win, it was Sakura who won the last. In the end, maybe just enough to drain a little bit of shoulder strength. I didn't expect to see Mons play and understand the truth of life...... It's deep.
