Late. Tamer's day.

"Mr. Silver!

"Did you get sketchy too?"

"Oh. From here on out, the production squad will also join the defense, so say hello"

This is comforting. Production doesn't mean you can't fight. However, by coming up to the walls and suddenly seeing the boss, he seems confused.

"And let's just put in a production job and team up! Build tanks into all teams with a defensive focus."

"No! I can't team up!

"Huh?"

I rushed to check because I heard someone screaming, and I certainly can't team up. Or the party itself had been cancelled. Instead, it's assembled into a reid party.

Apparently, it turned into a fight at the Laid Party, just like a regular Laid Boss fight. Rather, this one is more obvious, but the system suddenly changed, so it seemed confusing everywhere.

You can't just keep fighting the boss like this. Skegawa thought so, too, and rushed over with a hurried look.

"Mr. Silver, it's not good to stay like this! We need to calm everyone down somehow!

"Duh, what do we do?

"I have an idea. Can I get a little help?

"I'll do anything I can."

Shortly after I nodded, I shouted up as Skegawa slapped my hands on the bread.

"Guys! Attention! Mr. Silver wants to talk to you!

"Huh? Hey, skewer? What are you saying to me?

I said I'd help, but I'm talking to you!

"No, no, I need a word here to calm everyone down. Sasa."

"Mm, I can't!

The surrounding players, voiced by Skegawa, are looking at this one in unison. Shit, I gotta say something!

But I can't think of anything.

You must have seen me in silence. Skegawa whispered in my ear.

"Then go with my story. Worst case scenario, just tell me so."

"Ooh. Okay."

That's about it!

"Guys! This is your chance!

Chance? What are you gonna say? But you can't break your hips here. We need to keep it up with the skewers for now.

"That's right!

"That's what Mr. Silver says! All right? I'm gonna say it again, okay? This is our chance to be active in the fort's defense forces!

"That's right!

"Bear it until the battle squad returns? No! If it works here, we'll stand out for the mess! Might be able to aim for MVP too!

"That's right!

I don't know what MVP is. Instead, there shouldn't have been anything like that in the Reid Boss battle I participated in before. But if that motivates everyone, let's not say anything extra.

The other players seem to have been thrilled with the skewers and my words. Well, I'm just replicating the word skewer.

I'm having some fun, too.

"I won't force it! But it's gonna work!

"" "Ooh!

"Hey, Mr. Silver. Is that good enough for you to be a little active?

"And say?

"Pfft. That boss, do you mind if we take him down?

"Oh! That's skanky! Say it!"

The other players applauded it. They're all gamers. I guess a lot of people don't hate this kind of nori.

The confusion had completely subsided. I'm rather too motivated to worry about running to stand play. Well, still, it would be better than being ravaged by the boss while in a state of confusion,

"In the meantime, let's form a formation. Let's start with defensive focus and see how it goes!

The players move in unison at my behest.

"Right! Everybody, line up as Silver instructed!

"Tank, get out of the way!

"The magician is at the back!

"Harry, Harry, Harry!"

I know it's norinoli, but isn't that a little too discerning? No, before you pushed the leader on me, maybe you're following me.

Thus, shortly after the formation was put together.

"Cuooooo!"

"Wow!"

"Mm!"

All of a sudden, an unpleasant cut of gold attacked us. That's the boss honking approaching the fort.

It wasn't just an uncomfortable voice, it was like a sonic attack, apparently. The Orts in front of the formation are slightly damaged by the shield position.

Moreover, some people were in a state of fear anomaly. This is a plainly spicy condition abnormality: decreased ability to activate skills, magic, and decreased hitting power against someone who is feeling scared.

I have no problem now because the people around me have healed instantly, but it may be cumbersome to be made into a state anomaly when it becomes a battle of limit criticality.

"Is Ort all right?

"Mm!"

Olt doesn't seem to have a problem. He responds with a thumbs-up with his back to me. Is that an imitation of Drimo?

However, the state of terror anomaly was a greater threat to NPCs like our children.

In fact, even if you fall into a state anomaly called fear, you don't really feel fear, there's nothing frightening about it. No matter how close this game world is to real life, technology to manipulate human emotions and spirits is still incomplete.

If I could imitate that in the first place, I'd be able to brainwash the people in the game from the outside.

If you fall into a state anomaly called fear or confusion, your vision shivers or inhibits the movement of your body, and you are merely reproducing that state pseudo.

But not in the case of NPC. Apparently, he's going to be in that state mentally.

Talking about other Tamers, I've heard stories about Mons escaping in a state of fear and the formation collapsing and dying.

"I'm taking care of it!

"M?"

――

I sprayed the mons with magic pills that increased my abnormal resistance to the condition I was in possession of. Now you get a bonus for resisting state anomalies for 10 hours.

Well, I'm not sure I can prevent it, but I would have greatly reduced the odds.

That's how I saw the boss approaching even closer as he applied countermeasures to the sonic attack. It seems to be at a tremendous rate and will get to this fort faster than we imagined.

"Fuck, they're coming! Defensive Subject! The counterattack is a magical and simultaneous attack to scatter Hate!

"" "Whoa!
