It's been three weeks since I started taking the four-star promotion test.

That day, I was meeting Mr. Tono at Hachioji's coffee shop.

The requirement is, of course, for the trade in chimaris.

"--Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me."

Toono-san, whom I had seen for a long time, seemed more obsessed than before.

After all, he is also quite busy as a bill merchant, and his face shows a dark color of fatigue. On top of that, the deeply lowered head had even a ten-yen baldness, a symbol of stress.

So, can you handle Kimaris' trade?

Yes.

I was troubled about Kimaris, but I decided to put it in the trade.

Even as Anna acquires new cards to use in the search for garnets and there are more cards available for Vassal Summoning, the value of Kimaris with Legion Summoning is still alive and well. Rather, it's better to say that you gained a card that allows you to equip an entire party called the Nevan.

Still, I decided to accept the trade because I really wanted a card... I guess the biggest decision was that I didn't feel the same way as Kimaris.

Over the past three weeks, Kimaris has tried it out, but it didn't feel like my card.

Kimaris himself doesn't hate me, but somehow tells me he doesn't like me.

It wasn't because I wasn't able to take advantage of the Kimaris very effectively, but because I wasn't very demonic in my own right.

The race of demons prefers people who can sacrifice their parents and brothers for their own desires, or people who are obsessed with just one person to sacrifice their souls.

Running around for the safety of my family and friends, I must not have seemed very interesting to Kimaris.

In the first place, I guess it wasn't that good with me.

Many people who have enough money and connections to get Kimaris seem to like demons more than people like me.

It was better for Kimaris to let go than this.

“As far as trade is concerned, this is exactly what happened in the world, so we can't convert the premier tournament prize. However, the value of Kimaris itself is rising, so we can trade on even better terms than before.”

In the presence of Angormor, the added value of being a premier has almost come to zero.

However, as for Kimaris, due to their gear-up skills and army summoning, the price was rising with each passing day, which was higher than when they were Premier.

"... so, are the terms of the trade really good?"

"Yes... Princess Otsu Se (Hime Olitsu), who possesses a nil skill." And Xiaotong Lian, so please. ”

Princess Seozu is the god of the river that cleanses the river, and is regarded as the same as Princess Hashi and Suzuka Gongen (Suzuka Omae).

Although it is minor, it is a B-rank card, and as you can see from being regarded as the same as Hashihime, it is the destination of Suzuka's rank-up.

Initially, it was planned to target the three-phase goddess that would rank up the Eliza in the special type labyrinth, and the Suzuka or the dress in the C-ranked labyrinth.

However, contrary to expectations, Durahan's Rank Up Destination was acquired in the Special Labyrinth, so Suzuka's Rank Up Destination was targeted in the C-ranked Labyrinth.

However, I couldn't get enough claws, and as of yesterday, I decided to use the Fate Maneuver if I had a good feeling that there was less than ten days left, but I had a fate maneuver to get the card because I wanted a very good one at the tip of the arrow.

In itself, it's quite good, but the problem is that Suzuka's ranking has become obsolete.

So I remembered that it was Mr. Tono's presence, and it was Kimaris' trade.

"Since the announcement of Kudan's prophecy, the value of the B-rank card with the Zero skill has also increased, but even with Princess Otsu and Kimaris, Kimaris still has a higher price. Also, I thought I was after Suzuka because I wanted Sanmei's sword, but Sanmei's sword was the hardest to get. It's called the Chase Lian C-rank, Kodori Lian B-rank, or A-rank. Only one wave has ever been found in Japan."

"Haha... well, romantic, romantic." After all, you yearn for a spiritual recursion to A rank. Besides, Xiaotong Lian alone is also beneficial. "

"Hmm... well, if Kitagawa-san is fine with that, it would be helpful for us." Oh, by the way, it's Princess Otsu, but I can confirm that she reacted to Odori and Odori. "

Huh...! That's good news.

So, if we even have Akira, can we really recall the spirituality in front of Suzuka?

... well, that's the hardest part.

Oh, yeah.

Do you have any Arachne in stock?

"Arachne? Oh, I see, it's been popular in the plains lately."

"Ah, I knew it."

"Yes, all production cards are gradually increasing in price." After all, everyone seems to think about what would happen in the event of the collapse of civilization. "

Are we all together to think?

"If I have it in stock right now, I would definitely buy it."

Oh, if that's the case, I'll give it to you right here.

"Huh...?"

Are you saying that giving up is free of charge? Is that even good for a merchant?

"Shit, if it's just one C-rank, if it's a trade of Kimaris, it's an error, an error. It's not a very good deal at this rate, so let me put it on this one."

... it must have been a really bad deal for you to say this far.

It was a deal that I was looking up, but I couldn't find a reference for Princess Otsu, who has a nil skill, so I can't deny that it was a fairly appropriate deal.

Even so, I knew the value of Kimaris nowadays, and I also added the so-called rarity of B-rank cards, but it still seemed to be cheap.

I thought I might have been given one or two more C-rank cards... but I didn't have to be too greedy, so I went home satisfied that I got Arachne.

― ― ― What do you think of Professor Yuekou's distribution of the government's uniform national card?

Oh, it's still true, I don't think one E-rank card and five F-rank cards are enough, eh? When Angormor starts, monsters of rank D or higher will emerge, yeah.

Considering that, I still think that if we don't hand out D-rank cards to all the people, we won't be able to stop the progress of the phases, right? "

What do you think of Professor Yuekou's remarks now?

I am also opposed to handing out E-rank cards.

In the past, Angormor was not only a victim of monsters, but also a criminal misuse of cards. In Angormor, where cards can be summoned outside the labyrinth, everyone with a card can be the perpetrator.

There is a few hours left until D-rank monsters flood the labyrinth. If you go to the shelter by then, you won't need a card. At least at the shelter, I think we need to temporarily retrieve all the cards and magic items. ”

How about that? I don't think everyone can get into the shelter, but yeah.

The guild's refuge is only in a relatively large station, roughly everywhere between 50,000 and 150,000. If it is a designated city, it has a population of about 500,000 people, and if it is a core city, it has a population of 200,000 people, yes.

I don't think anyone should be able to get into a rugged and safe guild shelter, but I think we should have a minimum means of self-defense for those who are going to go to temporary shelters such as schools, hospitals and hotels. "

It has been decided to allocate one C-rank card and a few additional D-rank cards according to the size of the place, such as schools, hospitals and hotels designated as temporary shelters.

By Phase 1, you will be able to protect enough evacuees with those cards. I still think I should be more vigilant about human malice than monsters. "

With one C-rank card and a few D-rank cards, you can protect hundreds of people? After all, I think we should hand out one D-rank card to all the people, right? If I were the Chancellor, I'd do it, yeah! '

Where can I find such financial resources to distribute D-rank cards to all citizens? In the first place, how do you prepare more than 100 million D-rank cards? Don't you know the drop rate of D-rank cards?

Basically, I'm questioning Angormor itself. There is no word for Angormore anywhere in the prophecy!

Hey, you! If you say that, you won't be able to argue! We're talking about the assumption that Angormor will happen. "

Accordingly, the channel of the program is switched.

"Hah, there's been so many similar shows lately."

During dinner, my mother, who was watching the TV show that I was watching without any help, muttered as she got tired of putting the remote control on the table.

"I'm tired of seeing this already ~"

Of course, you've said the same thing over and over.

My dad nods in love's mourning.

In fact, I had the impression that the same kind of program was flowing repeatedly every day in this place.

It was helpful at first to have a realistic simulation of what would happen to Angormore, but I'm tired of repeating the same thing, and the show was slightly biased, or it seemed that some of the crises were too much of an incitement.

Speaking of which, and I called out to love.

"Love, did you start learning how to use cards at school?"

"Ah, yes. I went to the labyrinth with the militia to summon cards and fight monsters in turns." Some stupid boys in their class were so angry that they cried when they fought with cards. ”

My dad and I both smiled bitterly at the love that you said you were such an idiot.

When I remembered my elementary school years as a boy, I couldn't laugh at the boys.

That's right, I usually watch shows like Monkoro, and when I'm given a pong and a card, there's a man who does that kind of thing. Boys and girls are like that.

"But after all, it was too much to deal cards to elementary school students, wasn't it?" It's a stupid thing to do with a kid. "

If you see a kid playing card games in a shelter life, it's a light hell picture.

"Hmm, it's difficult, but I'm sure you'll need cards to resist those stupid kids."... it's not just the children who do stupid things. "

Beyond my father's gaze was the news that a group of young people were being arrested for cheating on cards handed out to the elderly.

Surely, there will be stupid people out there who don't have anything to do with children or adults.

"I mean, that's what oniichan's school says... ah. I see, oniichan, to school..."

"Hey! Don't say it like you're holding back!"

I protested unequivocally to the awkwardly distracted love.

I'm not just refusing to go to school, I'm suspended due to circumstances.

My dad asked me with a complicated face.

"Hmm, I can't help it because of this situation, but are you going to leave school anymore?"

"No, I'm coming."

"Oh, is that so?" Well, that's fine....... I can only go to school now. "

"... I know"

I nodded with a strange look.

Now I know how luxurious it was to be able to go to school.

I was going to take care of the few precious days I had left.

... but I doubt how much routine is left in our school today.

Since the beginning of the exam, the school has been completely no-touch when it comes to concentrating on the exam.

In fact, I had enough room to receive the report, but there's not much I can do while I'm away from school, and I know about Anna's thoughts since they were last heard.

Therefore, I just told him to consult with the other members and proceed, and I decided to leave it to him... "

Maybe I was expecting something different from what I knew about school.

There are few people who can afford to spend as much time as they have before the threat of Angormor.

Even as I walked through the city, more shops unloaded their shutters, and I felt my old routine rapidly being lost.

Perhaps that is no exception to school.

... well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow, too.

I sighed in my heart and told my dad.

Well, I finished all my exams yesterday, and I'll go back to school tomorrow.

My three-week main gacha ended yesterday by dropping Hephaestus.

Hephaestus... yes, it's a man card.

Even though it was a man card, I got this card after Suzuka's rank-up because I really needed it.

Hephaestus is a deity of blacksmithing and craftsmanship in Greek mythology.

From Aegis, the arrows of Artemis, the helmet of Hades, and the shield of Achilles, to the throne of Zeus, the tools of the ego-moving tripod (now known as automobile chairs), and Pandora, famous for its bronze giant tallow and several Pandora's boxes.

An item with a name in Greek mythology is largely his work.

However, contrary to its ability, the anecdote is an anecdote.

She was thrown out of the sky into the sea because she was the first child of the goddess Hera and was ugly, and her wife Aphrodite cheated on her and divorced her because she was disliked by her appearance. The woman is not too sunny, and she runs a strange run that feels like nothing is happening even with an extremely creepy ghost that lusts at Athena who comes to the workplace and hits her on her feet (mild expression).

Hephaestus had such an episode, so when I tried to get it, Athena was already opposed to it.

"I told you I'd get pregnant just by being summoned together..."

In fact, in mythology, from the wool wiped off by the cloudy liquid, an erectonios with a human upper body and a snake lower body is born, so I can't even say that it is a damaging delusion. Also, Athena is taking over and raising Erictonios. Great.

Still, it's not irrelevant that Athena took Hephaestus until she crushed her strong opposition.

The temple she aspires to.

That's because one Hephaestus is enough.

Hephaestus is a god of blacksmithing and crafts. Naturally, that category also includes architecture.

In addition, Hephaestus can summon Cyclops, his assistant and B-rank monster, as his family, and Cyclops can also summon C-rank cyclops.

Cyclops is supposed to read Cyclops' English, but many countries appear as different monsters in the labyrinth. Cyclops is a junior god with great intelligence and blacksmithing skills, and Cyclops is a monster without intelligence.

Cyclops has no craftsmanship skills, but is ideal for work. The Cuclops supervise and the Hephaestus designs, builds, and directs the whole thing.

In other words, a single Hephaestus built the temple.

I couldn't help but be convinced by Athena's grim face.

So, for the first time, a man card was officially added to my deck.

However, given the negative impact on Link, I would never use Link in a fight with him.

It would be a full production crew.

"... oh! So you broke through the C-rank labyrinth." Is this how singing is professional? "

"Congratulations, you did it."

Oniichan is amazing!

The whole family is going to blow their faces off at the end of my exam. I answered with a bitter smile.

"No, I just completed my practical skills, so I'm not a four-star." Ah, yes, I'll give you a new card. "

That said, I handed my father the new C-rank card I got today.

"Hmm, I'm sorry. Honestly, thanks. But is it okay for you to give it to me so much?"

“It's okay, I'm just giving it away.”

He said plainly to me as he put his helmet in his mouth, but Dad said with a worried expression.

But I already have more than 20 of them in my possession.

Twenty... again, that's an amazing number.

But I'm really fine. Because the C-rank cards I've gotten in the last three weeks are nearly double that.

My three-week Rizal is as follows.

■Card Drops

Even though you've been diving alone for only three weeks, you're still dropping so many cards, of course.

Originally, by becoming a true skill, the luck of Lotus increased, and my drop rate was about ten times higher than usual.

When I was diving with everyone in the Adventurer's Club, I used the method of saving that amount of luck without noticing the abnormal drop rate, and using it only when enemies with good cards and good items appeared..., but I was alone during the test, so I increased the drop rate overall without saving.

This resulted in a drop rate of 1% for my C-rank cards, but by spending one more garnet per day here, I was able to triple the drop rate of my C-rank cards to a staggering 3%.

Whether there are about twenty garnets with about 40 C-rank cards or fewer, considering that if there are seven garnets with Hope Diamonds, you can get one B-rank card, the judgment can be divided between people, but... there are scenarios where multiple C-rank cards are more useful than one strong B-rank card.

Incidentally, for this drop rate increase, Hope Diamond is not used due to the fear of "accident".

Even if I had the blessing of Lotus, there were moments when I could shake my luck negatively very rarely. Considering the power of the Hope Diamond, daily use was strictly prohibited.

It's okay. Thanks to Lotus, I'm dropping it normally.

”I see... Lotus-chan is really amazing”

Having said that, the two of them looked toward Lotus.

Then, the dress that could not hold the shogi pawn and Lotus, who was pointing at it instead of Mira, raised her face.

Ah? Did you call?

"No, you're really the guardian god of my family."

"What the hell is that?"

It was a lotus flower with a dazed face, but when I looked closely, the cheeks were slightly red.

I wonder if you'd like me to show you a little bit of competition.

After eating, my dad quickly moves to the front of the board.

... I don't know if I can see it.

Myra, who has tactical skills and uses a variety of stones, and the dress that hits her with an unexpected hand due to her unique sensitivity, are now at a level that I can no longer keep up with.

I'm less skilled than I am, and even more so than my dad, who loves sideways.

I'm nodding with a nod on my face... but I don't know for sure.

What are you going to do today?

Love asks Lotus who switched her fingers with her dad when she was free.

"One vote for the game of life"

Neither is Meir.

Hmph, today is the day my concubine wins.

Lotus nodded as she heard Mea and Athena's words, and looked back at another vision.

Is that all right with Suzuka?

... that's fine.

Suzuka nodded, apparently rejoicing in her heart while posing as if she was......

Seeing that, I wept and wept inside.

Suzuka... you've come to play naturally.

Lotus is now the intermediary between Mea and Athena, but one day Suzuka will say that she wants to join them.

Eliza and Audrey were being taught how to make sweets by their mothers when they looked towards the kitchen with a sweet smell.

I'm sure we'll make an offer later when the game of life is booming.

At the sofa, Yuki tells Maru what a loyal dog is.

Yuki... unfortunately, that stupid dog is too late.

The Kitagawa family was still peaceful and calm today, but their precious time passed like gold.
