Late. Tamer's day.

"I think it's time to head to Southgate"

"M?"

"It's a Reid Boss event."

I feel a little heavily loaded with Laid Boss, but it's an event that we had ourselves happen to.

I want to join you.

"Items and money went to the warehouse, and now it's okay to die"

"Cookma!"

"Mogmo!"

"Kikku!"

Three of us were militant, lined up with motivated faces. Standing in front of me sitting on the edge, he said, "You're not gonna take us off, are you? He seems to be about to complain."

Well, I wasn't sure who to actually take, so if you want to join me, I'll take you.

"Then bear, Drimo and Rick as definite. And then..."

Attackers are enough. Ruffle, the recoverer, when it comes. Fou in charge of the buffs. Let's go with my direct guard ortho.

Let's ask Sakura, Himka and Eine to refrain.

"Then I'm coming. I may summon you."

――♪

"Huma!"

"Him!"

"Trilly!

Sakura and the voicemail sent us off in a gutsy pose. I guess that means good luck.

Moving from the starting town to Southgate, it was overflowing with a tremendous number of players there. Apparently everyone is a participant in the Laid Boss battle.

"Mr. Silver."

"That 's--"

"First Nama Silver -"

My gaze is focused on me. Well, I'm used to my kids getting noticed. Let's just move to the end.

Still, we can't have all these players fighting and stuff all at once, can we? You want to split the servers?

When I thought about it, I was called out.

"Hey Ute. Exactly. You're going to the event that you started. It's a battle event, so I thought I might drop you off."

"Tagosack. Haven't seen you yesterday"

As always, it was a tagosack dressed like a snail in a man's language.

"Well, you're right, it's an event that I let happen myself. I mean, you know what?

"Well, the underground lake breakthrough has become quite a noise already. At least you know all the guys in the Laid Boss fight, don't you?

"Oh well."

I get a little scared, I'll take a look around. It's players like me who have no fighting power who have attacked places nobody could have attacked. Some players may be jealous that they parasitically attacked the walnuts. No, I'm not wrong about that.

I feel like I saw a puff, I don't feel like there are any players staring at me...

"What's going on? That's so chilling."

"Yes, no, it's nothing"

"Really? Well, no. But look at this guy."

"Yeah? Dude, what the hell is this!

"Hehe. Isn't that amazing?

What Tagosack showed me was a black, thin, papery ingredient item about the size of an A4.

"Seaweed!

"Ooh."

Look at my surprised face and Tagosack laughs like a kid whose prank was a success.

"What's wrong with this?"

"We can pick it up in some of the 8th area west. In the 8th area, the route is divided and there are multiple fields... On the other hand, there's a collection point at the Oasis inside the Quicksand Corridor."

"Can you raise him?

"I wish I had a hydroponic pool. The internet and fence were handled on their own. But we have to turn it into salt water. It'll be a perfect pool of seaweed specialists. I tried planting aquatic plants, but they withered."

I mean, is that oasis brine? Maybe if we go further west, we'll go out to sea. Only in its oasis, it may be a targeted setting with seawater flowing through the basement.

It just would take a lot of time for me to get there.

But I want seaweed. When I was making rice balls, how many times did I think it would be nice to have a plate of seaweed...

"... hey, asking me to give it up a little in crop condition...?

"Let me see, I'm not saying no. Rather, there are few hydroponics and they are not likely to spread at all, so if you can raise them. It's a consideration, so take whatever you want."

"Oh! Seriously! I owe you!

Now we can make the perfect rice balls! But Tagosack is looking at me with a weird eye for joy. Hey, what's up?

"No, seaweed may be rare indeed, but as it stands, it doesn't have much use. There was a guy who used it for topping up Japanese-style pizzas, is that about right?

Uh, sure. It could be quite difficult without rice. But isn't this a good deal? Looks like Tagosack has hydroponics, and he'll definitely be able to grow rice.

Besides, it's painful to get such good stuff for free.

"It's a consideration."

"No, as I said earlier, I don't want consideration"

"Fair enough. In the meantime, eat this."

"What? Is that the new dish from Ute? If that's the case..."

When I saw the white chunk I took out of the inventory, the Tagosack movement stopped. And I'm afraid, I'll take the rice balls from my hands.

"Whoa, whoa! You!"

"Pfft. What do you say? Surprised?

"Naturally! It's not a grip! It's just salt!

The moment Tagosack screamed unexpectedly, the sound disappeared from the surroundings and everyone's gaze was pointing at us.

"Ah..."

"Wow..."

Yabe. I was too tense about the seaweed and completely forgot what was around me. I guess Tagosack also understood what he did. I'm making my face snap.

"Shh, sorry, Ute"

"No, I was too defenseless, too"
