Over The Infinite

Episode 6: Clan Match

-0-

I decided to forget about Mr. Satina, the dodgy boy who blew himself up.

I didn't completely reject it, so after I took it home, I would consult with the lord and check it out and show up again. It would be better to talk to Berenvar in advance.

I didn't feel like I was mentally ill as Berenvar said I was, and I'm not going to pay up front if you're going to join us after a preliminary investigation.

Naturally, if you have problems, including relationships, you will refuse to join the group, but that is not limited to Satina.

If it's a choice between Berenvar and Satina, then I'll take Berenvar.

It's not like I remembered about Satina, but there's actually something that needs to be resolved because of the problem with the clan members.

Since it is in the pre-establishment phase, the finalization of the members is not a matter of that much haste, and it is in a state sufficient for the quota in the first place, but it is not a question of leaving it alone.

... I was never out of my sight.

Since it is a bit obscene, organizing the current clan candidate, there are twelve (three inner pandas) who have been confirmed as early members.

I'm the clanmaster, Watanabe Tsunami. Yuki for the submaster. This is almost settled and can be said to be a premise.

Others include Sarjes, Gaul, Tilia, Ladine, Borg and Chimera. The three pandas are almost disintegrating, but it will be decided. Lirica has also heard clearly about her willingness to join the group. They do a lot of things at the Mage Guild right now, but they're moving in at the beginning of the year. I don't think there's anything like living in a cranhouse and not joining the group at the time of its establishment.

They also live in large quantities of unrelated pandas, but they're just habitats. I'm not even an adventurer.

If there are no problems, it is likely that Moya, currently a member of Ark Sabre, and Mizuki, a freelancer.

If the clan continues to be established smoothly and there is no such thing as offense, it will officially become a member. The timing of joining the group is just not clear, and there are no conditional conditions.

Four are candidates, but have not yet reached the E rank, which is eligibility for membership.

Coral before the trial challenge is fine among these. I have the impression of Berenvar and Set, but I don't have a particular background, and if I had the strength, I would be promoted to the E-rank to join the group.

Berenvar, on the other hand, is in the direction of joining the group as a matter of his own will, but because of complicated circumstances, there are some parts of the unknown whether he can join smoothly. Better check around there, around Dammus at the end of the year party.

Lotte...... and I haven't seen each other yet, but my disciple Meat Wall. You don't seem to have any other problems, either, but it's time to meet him once. You should check properly, not in a half-drunk situation. It is also possible that meat walls are not handled satisfactorily. He's a former monster, but no member cares about it. Borgs, chimeras and pandas are more array.

A bit of a special situation is Lene. In his case, the Adventurer Rank qualification will be resolved immediately, but it is also unknown whether he can join the group because of the existence of a bomb called the relationship with Yuki.

Take the time, including correcting the person… that would be a problem that should take several years to process. It's a delicate position to treat as a candidate. It becomes a solo activity for a while.

And with the exception of Satina, who has difficulty handling it, there are three other subtle positions left.

... Yes, the three of us. Someone's going to stick me in wondering if it's the two of us, but I'm actually seeing someone the other day, not from the person.

The reason you're not in person is simple. One of them is unknown.

"Um... Mr. Leader? In the worst case scenario, can I let my master live in my room?

"Your room... does that mean you live together? Or maybe you're getting married. '

"Master is a rock, so it can't be that kind of relationship. He said we should expand the garden and leave it. '

"I don't care if you have the GP to use for expansion... is your master a garden stone or something"

'I don't know what the situation is right now, but just because I'm homeless is pitiful as a disciple... if I find you, could you please put your enlistment in perspective and meet me?

"Joining the group... Isn't your master a pretty high rank? You've had two names since before the system was introduced, right?

'I don't think the master cares, so in the form of consideration for now... we won't be talking unless we find him in the first place... where did he go?'

No, I don't know.

We should officially consider it after we meet, but Mr. Gardel Garden, the Tillian master rock giant, is also a candidate.

Regularly, Tilia is in a state where she is searching the tunnel because she cannot file a search application without family or clan members.

Even former < Stonehenge > members cannot file a search application since it has already been dissolved. The status card also appears to be unpossessed due to updates associated with the dissolution, and the phone is not connected.

... Tilia said she seems to be quite mypaced, so I think she forgot, but I honestly wonder if she's missing after leaving the status card she uses for her ID.

If you can't find something for too long, you should talk to your guild and consider exploring it in a different direction. They're not out of the labyrinth city...

Well, as one of the three is left to Tilia because it's such a cosmic situation......

The problem right now is the other two.... Come on, we have to do something about that tutor and the treatment of the mad dogs.

Dirk is currently working as an intelligence officer, so he's already eligible for clan membership, just like Lirica and Panda.

Honestly, Dilk has nothing wrong with it. I'd say super big rookie you can expect from before joining the group. As much as I tend to talk about disturbing things sometimes, my personality is more normal if it's our standard. … the problem is naturally the serafina of the accessories.

Serafina. From a labyrinth city. Apparently, the parents were already dead and spent time at their relatives' house until Dirk picked them up.

He was close to autism at the time, but the cause is not the living environment or the death of his parents, but memories of his previous life.

I don't know the details, but thanks for being forced to fight, that's the only way I know how to live. I can only find my existential value in battle. They had completed their personality with such values alone. It's hard to say happy memories in flattery.

It is easy to understand when concrete examples emerge in this way, but I feel that reincarnation while retaining memory is a greater disadvantage.

This world is still better because reincarnation is common, but with previous life values it is difficult to blend into the environment at an early age. It is also difficult to correct if your personality is finished.

I guess there are some benefits from the knowledge and experience of previous life, but a life that better be reset definitely exists. Serafina's example is the best of them all.

Dirk found such a talent in Serafina that he allowed the adventurer's path to be chosen as a means to return to society. In the meantime, personality tutoring must have been necessary, too, yeah.

The result is a trial offense at the age of five, the completion of a being that makes that genius child call him a trump card.

For her, Dilk is the great benefactor who saved us from a bloody world of nothing. Dirk, who is naturally an intense dependent, also makes it a good one. It's hard to say it's straightforward and straightforward, but it's a mutually agreeable relationship. There must be some human feelings there that are not unilateral.... There is, isn't there?

It's a little hard to believe because meeting me is an encounter, but she's not that antisocial though she tends to be yandered.

At least not broken enough to eliminate all the women around the dilk, as you can see from Lirica's case. And pandas. Woman approaching Dilk for that purpose...... some of my favorite sisters, especially the Shota kids, have eaten a counterattack, but they have coordination themselves.

Then I'm not sure why I'm made an eyewitness, but seriously, am I mistaken for a faggot?... No, no way.

... Imagine you don't like the fact that Dirk is a fan of mine who didn't have much interest in others until then. The point is, aren't you unhappy to have someone with a strong interest besides yourself, even if it's not a romantic relationship?

Some measure is necessary.

That's why I asked someone who's a professional in that area to teach me a lesson a while back.

My brain time goes back a little.

... that was shortly after I returned from the expedition. I was taking a trip to the hospital.

It is a red vegetable sympathy that has fallen off in the death fight of the [stationary clock tower] and cannot be discharged due to sequelae. I know I'm a troublesome junior, but I have enough discipline to go see him.

Hey, how's it going?

When I walked into the hospital room, a beautiful bow lay on my bed with a soiled complexion, not red. Sounds very yummy, like earthy tomatoes.

I'm awake and I'm aware of this, but the movement is slow. Kind of like a zombie.

"... one more time, I'm dying"

"Sounds fine."

Often, I go to visit a sick girl and realize a charm I don't normally notice, what a situation, but it is a figure I can assure you that there is no such development.

Normally, even if the adventurer dies in the dungeon, there is enough penalty and item loss to be LV1, which basically revives him with a healthy body. Philos and Gowen, equally dead, are as usual in the return phase.

However, in the case of beautiful bows, the circumstances are slightly different.

He said the "Arrow of the Soul" he used as a trump card against Berenvar was a skill with disadvantages similar to Sargess's "Inmoral Burst," and that he would have sequelae even after his resurrection.

At least, he's not penalized enough to return to the adventurer business in the normal period of time.

"Levels will return, but neither HP nor MP will recover for a while, and the status remains one-in-a-row. You can barely use your skills, so tomatoes are below average people right now."

It is a momentum that is originally rotten but likely to be disposed of as it is.

The same goes for the sequelae, but it's also hard to catch a cold while in the hospital due to a secondary loss of immunity.

Adventurer, that's not a rare level of intermediate-ranked colds, either. It seems like it will heal very well if it goes back to normal.

"Ah, if you give Sempai a gentle hug and finally give him a kiss or something, he might go back to the watery tomatoes. Come on, pu, pu no pu..."

"Oh, I don't like it."

"What a cement response...... Ugh"

You're not going to die, and if you can joke, you'll be fine.

"So, when are you going to be able to get back?

"At least you won't be able to do it during the year. I couldn't make it, so what would a full comeback do within the year?"

The price is quite heavy. A beautiful bow would be fine, but a pause period that could be considered fatal if you are an adventurer in difficulty in funding your activities.

Weren't you in such a condition that you could bring daisy as a sympathy flower even on a joke?

"I'm sorry. Let me use something with that aftermath."

"Uh, no, that's fine. It was my intention to use it... and I couldn't seem to finish it in the first place.... Wow, even more shocking now. I've never had anyone who couldn't finish me off with a direct hit before..."

"The first stage of the demon king Berenvar has been defeated."

"Which lass boss would you transform if you knocked him out...... I mean, from there on out, Sempai won alone again... and I thought he was Sempai."

Alone...... no, it's hard to say you won in the first place. If Berenvar hadn't done something about it himself, it would have ended there, so that's like a real loss.

That phase is too big an element of uncertainty. Mandatory activation on The Hunger Stormbeast, a series of miracles after miracles. It's a victory I finally grabbed by pulling the impossible phenomenon and moving Berenvar.

That gift is definitely activated. Perhaps more clearly than ever. I have a sense of coincidence, miracles, jumping across boundaries that I can't clean up on that level. I don't feel like I can do anything when they tell me to reproduce the array.

"It's Sempai... You call Sempai an image of Watanabe Tsunami in a previous life. He's a common man."

If it were me in my previous life, I would be buried directly in SAN value just in front of Demon King. At least it should have been leaked.

"That's right, but I'm willing to let Sempai do something about any situation... No, I know there's no way a previous life Sempai, who's just an alley opponent, an adventurer or anything, could do something... you can't, can you?

"You can't. He was a very ordinary Japanese."

"... I can't even say for sure at all whether Sempai was a very ordinary person without even having room to consider it"

"Affirmative."

At least I was meant to be more common than you or your master. That club, there wasn't a decent guy, was there?

"Things from my last life are fine... I need to talk to you today. [M] Oh, this is a sympathetic flower."

"Oh thank you... Daisy!? And what's a plant pot... do you mean don't leave the hospital?... No, I'll take it because it's a corner."

… Will I receive it? Because of this, I'll decorate it with prominence. It was pretty expensive.

"It's unusual to consult. Are you counting on me for a second?

"Oh, you're the best fit in my dating range. There's no one else I can think of to take care of."

"Well, that's an important project. This flag can never be dropped for an important event that came to the end of a death fight, the Sempai Attack. Come on, go ahead! Kamang!"

"I wonder how I can grow up with someone from Yandere"

"I knew it wasn't such an event, damn it!!"

And vice versa, but there's no route for you to attack me. To be in that mysterious dreamy situation, that's the only way to pull in the astronomical odds of using mysterious gifts.

"Uh, so why the Jandere measures? I'm not Yandere. I'm not Jandelle."

"Why do you say it twice?"

I know the guys at the club were joking about that, but I know you're not Jandere.

I'm not dependent, I'm not incarcerating to monopolize, I'm not eliminating other women. You're something more different.

... For example, if I stuck with another woman, this guy wouldn't get in the way if he was jealous. The next thing he's gonna do, he's gonna mix it up. I'll gladly say 3p, or something. I even think there could be a case of bringing a third person to the bait.

Not even in Japan, but even more so in this unbound city called the law.... and that also means I can't feel safe when I get married.

"In high school, Cabbage Sempai dealt with being stalked by students from other schools..."

"Oh, what's that?

"If you don't remember, you can forget it. It wasn't harmful."

Not at all remembered. I can't pin it if you say so.... Mr. Cabbage would be able to wipe it out as socially as a stalker.

"Are you being followed by Mr. Jandere again? If it looks bad, I'd rather talk to Guild or Pestle Builder than I do..."

"No, it's not about me this time..."

Briefly describe Dirk and Serafina.

"Hmm, I see... you're another kid with a difficult attribute"

"You know, even if you get attacked, you can repel them, but those routines are lame, and if you can, I want to take them in peacefully."

I'm sure of my strength. Neither of us is on the level of delicacy. A common clan is the first level to go soliciting.

That's what came from the other side. He thinks he can take some risks if he can truly act as a companion. It doesn't include getting stabbed or anything.

"I mean, I've heard of those two... haven't we all gathered amazing people at Sempai's? In many ways."

I know Beautiful Bow doesn't know the breakdown of our members, but you must be watching the [Castle of Blood] video, so you'd be under the impression it came out of there.

Ordinary people should be full of stomach just Yuki and Sarjes they first met. Actually, it's worse than that. With pandas?

"... that's the hard part about not being able to deny all the meanings. Well, I know this is a difficult story, but I'd like to borrow one piece of Tomato wisdom here."

"It's not hard. It's easy."

"Is that it?"

Beautiful bow reactions are light enough to clap out. Is there still somewhere to go?

"This, for example, is a troublesome story about Sempai being targeted, except this time. I've never actually met him, so there's no certainty, but it doesn't seem like he's that severe."

"Well, I guess it's the ability to act harshly. It's enough to keep you locked up or raid someone you've identified as your enemy."

"Yandere's driving force is so-called dependence and monopoly appetite... so if you get the certainty that the target is your thing... I mean..."

"... well, I see"

If that works, don't take Serafina in as a clan member with her completely on your side.

... It may cause some sacrifice to be made to Mr. Target, but it doesn't break my heart because that's the person I taught him. That's Mr. Tomato. Different point of view.

-1 -

And now.

After I chased Satina back, I followed Yuki to the arena for a good reason why I remembered that now.

Because I bowled to two of those issues in the dining room in the arena where the clan rivalry is taking place.

"Oh, hi, it's been a while"

"... both"

"What are you doing?

When I called Yuki to rendezvous, she told me to buy something to eat, but when I tried to line up to buy popcorn, it was these two people who stood right in front of me. Is it also Jinx that I meet when I line up to buy food?

Surprisingly, Serafina did not attack or mouth attack anything that would hide behind the dilk and intimidate her with her gaze. Perhaps Dirk told me something because of what happened before.

"We got tickets for the designated seats, so you're in a mood swing. This place was cut off."

"Lirica told me, didn't you have some kind of Intelligence Agency job?

"Rather than an intelligence bureau, it's a dungeon master request. That's over for today.... There's been a lot harder talk going on."

Was it a request by Dammus? Speaking of which, the period of inability to operate at work is around the corner of the expedition.

"What is Dammus... is there an example involved? I wouldn't listen if I didn't want to."

"That's not true. Nameless... Can't you tell me that it is? This is the collection of information from the management of the Year 2000 layer."

Nameless... do you mean nameless?

It sounds like a dumbass naming from taste, but it's certainly a hassle to call me a 200-layer administrator every time. No other intention, but it would be harder if I wrote it in letters. Makes me want to subscribe to sticky words.

"By the way, this information is conveyed by Mr. Watanabe, who has prior information, so people around him and Serra are suffering from perception inhibition."

Sure, Serafina next door is unresponsive.

He said it was inhibiting... Then why were you accompanying him? Seriously, did you just follow me?

"What's the bigger deal?

"Uh, that's really forbidden over there. I was in the room, and I lost my temper too..."

2000 layer manager... you mean more than a nameless thing. How much?

"I've been wondering, isn't it strange how important you are? Genius Boy can't be explained on a level. It's full of steps."

I can explain why you're stepping into the Infinite Corridor system connection because the Intelligence Agency handles that kind of information, but in this case, it's not the same thing. Just the information that sounds fragmented is sticking my neck in to a level close to Dammus. He's involved for some reason. More than me.

"I thought one day they'd ask, but it's a simple story. The last life is special."

"I know that's previous life... special?

I kinda don't want to believe that I was born for real. It's a typical case of having a child like you.

"Would you like to hear it? You're interested, aren't you? Oh, that's a bit of a perception inhibition..."

"That bothers me... hey, what did you do?"

The scenery around changed whether Dirk did something. No, it hasn't changed visually, but it feels terribly thin.

Only me and... Serafina are reacting to that. Only the three of us can make you feel like you moved to a place that's here and not here.

"Let's go to the corner a little bit because we've made it out of our presence. Someone you don't recognize will bump into you."

"Ooh..."

You mean consciously inhibited recognition...? What is this guy? Things like Dammus...

There's something abrupt going on. Why don't you come buy popcorn and let the mystery space unfold? I want that to happen after I pinch a few more serial developments.

The three of us solidify in the corner of the dining room and continue the conversation. It seems to be trying to talk about something important, but there is no shard of tension because it is next to the vending machine and planting pot installed in the dining room. I'm in the mood for a wellside meeting because I can normally hear the noise around me.

"So, it's your last life."

"Well, I thought you'd be a little more surprised by the situation."

"I'm used to these sudden paranormal phenomena."

There have been a lot of things lately, like going to a fake planet or going to an infinite corridor negative layer. Dammus does the same thing. That guy, cut the space.

"I don't know what that is... It's comforting to know that people who don't get upset about these things become bosses."

"Were you a little self-appealing to join the group?

"I was thinking about that a little too. In Watanabe's case, it might not make much sense to call him an adventurer."

You can't pull back now that you know important confidentiality, heh?

I'm interested, but the appeal is a bit harsh.... Now, there's something childish about this guy that he deserves.

"So, it's my last life. As you can imagine, even labyrinth cities are super important confidential. If you find out, you can't go back. Specifically, you're going to have to get into the clan."

That's cheap, super confidential.

"Mm."

"The rabid dogs on the side seem unhappy."

"Talking about this is like inside equals, so Serra doesn't have a veto."

"Hey, Dee, I knew I'd stop."

"No. Mr. Watanabe will be involved."

You must be the man to talk. You're going to talk even if you refuse to join the group.

"Your clan is conditional. I'll definitely get you a drink for my own safety, so you can talk to me from there."

"That's a lot smoother.... No, I wonder if this means" apparently "Watanabe."

This is my personality. There's always bad news coming in, so once you swallow it and you don't like it, you eat it from the inside out.

So if you don't like it, I'll take care of it.

Finally, the Dilks' clan itself is a prerequisite for understanding. Serafina's measures have also been taught by Tomato.

"Then that's the point. It's my last life, but I can't tell for sure that there's a little bit of damage in my memory."

"... I don't know, it doesn't matter or shit"

Nothing by name... that's not weird, is it? Sometimes, like someone else, it means a banned term in an old language.

"What remained fragmented was the name Dirk and" I'm the developer of the Infinite Corridor System. "

"What... to?

... What did this guy just say? The developer of the infinite corridor? I was wary of what kind of story would pop up, but I jumped far past my expectations.

Are you satisfied with my surprise, Dirk is nibbling?

"Even though it's fragmentary, it also holds some information about the black box in the infinite corridor. Based on that information, you are in a cooperative relationship with the Dungeon Master."

"... too flighty to keep up with understanding, but I was convinced of your importance"

Just a few words this guy said, "I'm the developer of an infinite corridor system," is a hell of a lot of information.

We know that infinite corridors exist across multiple worlds and are deeply involved in the way the world is. Even though it's a bomb statement just to say that such a thing was created by someone as a system, this guy came with the person. Even if someone created it, I thought it was a paranormal being like God or something.... No, there's also the possibility that this guy is like that in the first place.

"Is that what you were in your last life? God or something?

"Ha, no. I should have been just a person in my previous life, too. The Infinite Corridor was developed by people just like me. It's just a system."

"But to call it a system, it's not normal. It's scale. What was it created for?"

"It's obscure around there and I don't remember the details. It should have been something that, at the time of conception, at the time of development and afterwards, overlapped with all the thoughts of the various beings and could not be said in general. … I just remember clearly the purpose of the big premise set out by the project"

"... it's like a basic policy"

Like a constitution in a place called a state, a company rule, a genre in a game?

No way, you want to play Real Rogue or something. That's not the purpose.

"The purpose of the Infinite Corridor is to create a true God."

…………

That's a big scale, dude.

It's just vague, but I don't know. But it's not. If we attack the infinite corridor, we will reach an area that is beyond the reach of a legitimate organism. Even if it follows the path towards becoming God, I can't imagine it that far.

... maybe the same goes for the word sub god. Even if you have power like God, you have to say that it is only a subspecies, not God, in the true sense.

The purpose of God's nurturing apparatus is also convincing to me as I look at practical examples that are close to it.

"So, are you even going to be a god?

"No way. Probably, but I don't think you had that aspiration at the previous life stage. I'm just a human being, not a vessel like that.... Oh, that may be rude, but I didn't even approach Watanabe for that purpose."

"No, I don't want to be a god either."

I feel like I'm going to do something about it. I don't care if they worship me.

"... then what's your purpose? There's something here, isn't there?

Serafina won't have a clear purpose as an individual just because she's stuck with you, but Dilk should have that.

"My purpose is to study the current infinite corridor."

"Do you have little memory that research is you, the developer..."

"That complement is one of the purposes, but it's a little different. … the current shape of the infinite corridor is perhaps a difficult situation to say what was originally envisaged. I only know vaguely, but it's distorted by something. That could be another developer, it could be the will of a challenger, or it could just be a bug. … the pursuit of causes and research around there is my purpose"

... I see. You mean as a researcher and one of the developers? It can also be considered passionate.

It also sounds close to Ladine, but the implications are perhaps entirely separate.

"Nevertheless, I am and always have been just a human being. It has no power to reach the depths of the infinite corridor by itself. At first I was going to work with the Dungeon Master and just do the research. But that's how interesting it was."

Dirk is funny, Serafina turns her gaze on me to intimidate him the same way.

"... me"

"Yes. There is no clear basis, and no reason. But you have something."

"If you don't like mystery gifts, I have them. If you're stepping that far, you know that, right?

Mr. Glenn knew. You can't be a collaborator of Dammus and not know enough to be called to gather nameless information.

"The same may be true of example mystery gifts, but that's not all. It's something more fundamental. I don't know."

"Is that also why you're trying to get into my clan?

"Not to say at all, but aside from being a motive for joining the group. I'm still a fan of Watanabe. Like I said, that's motive."

"I don't think I'm engaging in activities that attract important people like you..."

If the physical fitness and causality involved in a nasty event is not the goal, then my presence should not have been so outstanding as to be so important. I don't think he had anything to do with the same important person, Dammus, but unlike this guy, he has something in common: ex-Japanese.

"Well, it's gonna be a long time around there, so come on.... What do you think? My self-appeal."

"Thank you for being more self-appealing than I expected. You don't have to be that hungry to join the club... like I said, drink the terms."

"It will be what. I'm willing to accept it unconditionally if it's not so unscrupulous."

When you say a line like that, the mad dog next door will get it wrong. Isn't there a scene in his brain where I'm telling him to give me an ass?

"You, you live in the dorm of the guild now, don't you? Get out of there and live in our cranhouse."

"I'd rather appreciate that...... is that a condition?

"No, Mr. Dee! That man, he lives together and he's after chastity!

"No, I'm normal."

I'm not interested in Shota kid's ass hole. Admittedly, there's a lot of weirdness in the cranhouse.

Even Dirk is flat out about just not having that kind of suspicion anymore.

"Nothing wrong with that, though."

"No, then I'll live there too!

"Cranhouse rooms are finite, right? Exactly that's a wagga mom... even if I pay for the GP, living with Serra is expensive."

"No, that's a condition, too.... you guys, live in the same room. Oh, you can expand, but don't add more rooms."

"What?"

The big aura I was telling you about earlier disappeared. Serafina, too, is flabbergasted with her face wondering what she's talking about.

"Uh... we're just like boys and girls, but I was just wondering if it's chastely to be in the same room all the time before marriage"

"Even minors can get engaged. You can negotiate with Dammus and have her marriageable age reduced on an exceptional basis."

"Oh... hey, wait a minute! Marriage!? Why is that a condition?"

"It's for my safety.... The point is, Serafina doesn't like you getting taken by someone, does she? I don't know if they're men or women, but they want to be Dilk's best. What do you say?"

"Ugh, yeah......"

Suddenly she was told the story and confused, but Serafina nodded. Honest and good.

The measure is to treat dilk not as an owner, but as a collar. It's not a one-sided dependency, it's that if we make it clear that Dirk belongs to Serafina, we won't ram as many mad dogs as we can.

So what can we do to clarify that? That is the measure given by Mr Tomato.

"Then you just have to be on the set at four or six. If you don't make it clear and Serafina gets anxious, the Jandere temperament won't happen."

"Mr. Dee! Actually, this guy's a good guy! Let's get married!

It is a hot palm return. I'll take care of the company.

"Huh... Huh..."

"Dee, you don't?

"It's not that kind of problem... it's all about consolidating yourself this year..."

"That's the problem. Or what is it? Is that you? Dee, you have someone else to worry about besides Mr. Serafina and you're not going to take responsibility for it. Then I can't help it."

"Mr. Dee..."

"Damn... cowardly... Please give me some time to think about it and... yes, talk to Serra."

"No. Make up your mind here now."

Doing time to guys like you doesn't make things busy. It is also possible that your stupid Mr. Serafina will be forced to be flexible. Even if not, they'll find an easy way out.

"Serafina's answer is set.... you've decided, haven't you?

"Yes, Master! Dee, I want to marry you!

All right, I won. I totally took Serafina on my side, at least on this matter.

"I mean, I don't think we have any further ideas without joking. You're not gonna tell me you're not responsible, either, just because it's late or early."

Nobody loses anything. It's just a little quicker to get laid in the butt. If you're unhappy with that, you can do something about it in a good way.

"Wah..."

Let me get this straight.

"Wow... ok, ok"

"Yay!!"

It is a great victory for me and Serafina. Dirk decided to have a family at the age of thirteen.

Dirk was right to join the group, and I was very grateful to Serafina. It is the perfect ending that no one loses.

Normally, I'd tell a couple to blow it up if they were close, but I don't really envy these guys for flirting.

"All right, Serafina. I have a present for you, honestly. You should use this to discuss the future with Dirk."

I took the catalogue of rings from the Item Box and guided them to the wedding venue, and then handed them over the underage engagement form.

I don't know why Mr. Tomato had such a thing.

"Thanks!"

"... Watanabe, Nanicara Nanima De Arigato Gozaimus"

The Dilk line I heard when we broke up sounded like something else, but I don't care.

-2 -

It's totally late, but it's a game of clan rivalry to get your mind back on.

Break up with the designated seating group dilks and rendezvous with Yuki and Kukuru, who were picking up places in the free seats. He was prepared to stand by, but he took his seat properly.

"You were late. Was it that long?

"That's another story that's been a long time. I met with the two Dilks, so I've packed the terms for joining the group. Yes, popcorn"

"Heh, thanks"

At the break up, Dilk felt something was leaking out of his mouth, but "my fiancée's" Serafina pulled her hand and took him to the designated seat. It is a good thing to be friendly.

"Satina was asked to come back out for the time being. Kukuru, I need you to let me know when a kid named Satina applies to join the clan."

"Yes.... that's a name I won't ask, are you a newbie?

"It's still before the debut. I don't know if he's registered, but he had a direct enlistment interview."

"That's unusual. If you're from a labyrinth city, it seems like you know about the outline of the process.... in the direction of joining the group?

"I'm not from a labyrinth city. He's an important person in the case of Lardin. It sounds like a lord's recommendation, so it might not be easy to say no."

"That sounds like another troublesome story.... Got it. To the best of my knowledge, I will investigate in advance."

Kukuru is always the same, but I can't say anything because trouble is the usual thing.

Satina and I are going to meet at a party at the end of the year, but we'd better keep the investigation to ourselves. Berenvar will be concerned.

"So what's the game like? Has Philos and the others left yet?

"The team battle has begun, but not yet. It's a game in two, so I guess it's just the right time."

"As for the overall progression, it feels as usual. It's the first day, and it's not like we're going to get crazy or anything."

Clan rivalry is a festival event that hangs from December 26th to 29th at the end of the year to compete with representatives on a clan by clan basis.

Eligibility must belong to the clan. Not as many people can compete because each rank is framed, but the larger the clan, the more people will compete. Also, you can only enter one event per person, so you can't compete in all divisions to make it unique.

In addition to individual, group, and winning battles, the event will be joined by random, restricted conditional battles as an annual event, and a combined battle between the two of us.

The ranking here is very much reflected in the rankings, so it's a good idea for adventurers who care about it. As I say clan rivalry again, the wins and losses of the game are rewarded with points and the clan that wins the overall points is rewarded with privileges.

The rules are basically zero-break rule tournament fights for every event. Nearly ranked players and teams are assigned at the beginning of the tournament, and the difference increases with each win. Most of them are advanced ranks at the end of the day. Since large clans like Ark Sabre compete in all events and ranks, a combination of the same clans may naturally occur.

This time the Philos are competing in a team fight. A team member is a D-rank adventurer who fights for six at a party.

Only individual fights are divided into boundaries: D and D-, and D + are treated as separate boundaries, but teams in group fights and winning out fights are grouped together in D- to D- + if they are D-ranked. The Philos team members should be one of them.

In addition, there is also a review meeting behind which blacksmiths and others with clan arms offer their prized equipment for screening.

There is nothing plain and exciting about it, and the added points are negligible, but it is a place where production jobs that are not usually on the table are active. They're also running a monster based cooking contest this year.

As such, this clan rivalry is a very good event for the contestants, their clan members, or the general public, but things are a little different in our case.

"Unless there's more to it than that, you're not gonna party with the adventurers out here."

"That's what the clan stands for."

Naturally, it's the adventurers who belong to the clan, except some of the invitees who are competing. It is hard for people to solicit as clan members and party members.

Some adventurers watch games for the purpose of identifying the clans to join, but that doesn't serve us either.

Unlike the average person who supports or enjoys betting on the activities of the adventurer who is making it look like an adventurer, the toothpicking part is also large as a peer.

Nor can you see the full power of the top clan. After all, do frontline clans focus more on dungeon offense than interpersonal, and regardless of small and medium-sized clans who can't afford personnel, I don't see the names of executive classes in super-sized clans like < Arc Sabre > besides the seed frame of individual fights. Other than Asha, Laurent, and Blade, the Clanmaster has not competed.

Me too, the only thing I'm interested in is the main battle of the individual battles that will take place after tomorrow with the Philos who will be in the group battle. The rest is about reconnaissance for next year at best. I guess that's a big part of me and Yuki and Kukuru being the only ones on this occasion.

"Do you want to buy a whale? Like betting on the Philos team."

"Oh, do you want me to buy it for the celebration"

Sometimes events are held in the arena, and all games are betting matches.

Well, even if it's a bet on the Philos, I guess the sawdust odds are also sinister because it's a first round of top-class reps.

"You can buy it on my mobile device, so if you tell me what to expect and how much, I'll rebuild it from pool money."

"The only thing to predict is which one will win?

"If it's an individual fight, it is, but you need to hit even the members who stay after the game. For that matter, the dividend is high."

You're not like newcomers. When that happens, we won't be talking until we know who the members are.

"I don't have a lot of time, but do you know what the information on the team members is?

"I'll give you the data if you need more information, but I'm buying a newspaper if you want some simple information."

Horse racing newspaper.

Speaking of which, I feel like I was selling it to the dining room, too.

I don't have much time until the purchase deadline, so I tried to refer to the newspaper's brief information, but the description is really minimal. It also has predictions, but it's unlikely to be very helpful.

Yuki and I were worried, and it was critical to start the game that the purchase process from the device was completed. Ultimately, he settled on the expectation that three men would remain: Philos and Gowen, and team leader Marcel. They don't get into a lot of contact in the first round, but you won't have a problem with it because it's a game. The stakes are trivial.

"I mean, you're not his leader."

I felt like Philos was the leader due to some impression, but I guess that means newbie there. There are other leaders.

Rather, it would be rarer for D- to incorporate two people while D + is in line. All the other teams are D +.

"I think it would be amazing if we just put every rank in a thick < Ark Sabre > rep even though we haven't had time to join the group..."

"I'm out... you look amazing, that leader"

It was time and a team of the Philos showed up at the venue. Notable among them are Gowen, the giant, and another, Marcel, the leader who earlier expected to remain until the end.

Yuki's amazing face may also mean tough, but it would be an impression from a tattoo carved on his face. It is a normal tattoo, unlike that of Berenvar, which is usually invisible. You're a skinhead, you don't have eyebrows, you have a gothic look and you're intensely intimidating.

"My full name is Marcel Granzo. Sounds like that tattoo is a hometown custom. They say the greater the area in the clan, the greater the area."

Did you look it up, Kukuru started describing information that wasn't in the simplified data?

Hometown means you're not from a labyrinth city. Is it some minority, and is that tattoo like a common morale test custom too? Like circumcision and bungee jumping.

"The main class is the < Spellman >, but the command tower is also capable of flesh-bomb warfare. Age is twenty-eight. I'm working hard to get my daughter-in-law from home."

"All..."

You have multiple daughters-in-law with that look. I guess that's the kind of ethnicity and the labyrinth city is allowed to get bigamous, but it can't be solved.

"Even though you have a bigamy system, you need to work pretty hard to call eight people, so you're not mostly prepared for it."

"Eight?! Amazing, that guy"

... the foreword that squeaked in my heart is withdrawn. Super awesome. I respect that.

"What, eight... how many labyrinth cities do you legally allow down?

"Conditions are pretty harsh, but for once... Income alone is equivalent to the top B-ranks today, plus your wives have a review, and it's hard to say it's realistic."

"... Tuna still admires that kind of harem, too?

"You don't admire going that far... My daughter-in-law doesn't always get along with each other, and she seems tired."

Whether you want to get married or not, that kind of desire is strong, but don't hesitate even if it's possible to build a harem in real life.

Originally Harlem is a big one that comes from leaving offspring behind and politically connecting blood ties. No matter how many women I like, it would be rare to move on and marry such a number. They also have three daughters-in-law, but I think that's tough.

But if you're going to deal with more than one person temporarily, right? Miruku Pu no sake pond meatland play?... expensive, and although there is a huge wall of age limits.

I don't know if it's because of such a great goal, but Mr. Marcel struggled.

Although the < Arc Sabre > side won, what eventually remained was a less fragrant result with the four of them, but seemed to have been the most active in covering for the tower.

Instead, Philos, who is a shield but has both been hit, is incompetent. Some parts of us couldn't work together because we weren't used to the team, but we should be apprenticing Mr. Marcel.... you must be really out of wedlock. The other Gowen said he was straining on Mr. Marcel with the momentum to friendly fire.

"It's off."

"I don't think anyone really guessed. Pretty unexpected results, this."

It could be said that within this rank it was only a card close to the iron plate that the two fell from the first round.

It may be a targeted operation to a few with a win-loss appearance, but it can't be a very good result.

"You won the ticket I personally bought. As expected, Mr. Rooney didn't fall."

The results are unexpected, but the manager's lack of leakage was unexpected.

The other one that eventually stayed. A fine swordsman woman named Rooney Callen seems to be a pretty highly regarded adventurer within the same rank.

Pretty tough personality, but she's a cool beauty.

... you think that kind of information should be shared before the game.

The game continued afterwards, and the Philos ended up finishing the challenge without moving on to tomorrow's main game.

Still, I'd say it's a big fight because I cut my C-rank team to less than half.

-3-

And the second day of clan rivalry. I was in the private room of a private battle seed player.

The man was having a relaxing cup of tea in an understatement where no one else was, even though the personal battle main battle was about to begin.

Are you used to it, its calm even makes you feel pierced. The only intermediate rank among the Seeds is a strong fighter.

"Tsuna... it's been a while. That's the opposite pattern from when we were rookies."

The lizard old man I haven't seen in a long time doesn't look very different, but the gear isn't what I've seen in each dungeon, and they're probably all first-class bee gear. Today, I guess I can see a real old man who's not like training. You should also use the two-name trump card "Dream Blade".

"I thought you had an acquaintance or a trainer for a seed player, but you're one of the old men."

"Regular is a good place too, so I don't care if it's a bummer now. Isn't that how the young guy gets advice from his trainer?

Maybe so. There are many other athletes who do interviews and apologize for visiting, except those involved in the final adjustment.

Before I got here, I also took a trip to Mr. Night Light's and Mr. Sword Blade's modem room, but it was off-limits, including the interview team. The old man doesn't even ban it, but he doesn't have one coverage.

"You're used to it. Is it because Mr. Perche and Mr. Topopo aren't here to encourage you now, either?

"Uh, I think the Clan guys are in the audience... but you're worried about not coming to the understatement because you're about to drop the seed"

That's when I'm going to be naïve, but maybe the old man's telling me not to come.

"So, how's it going, old man? Whoever they are, they seem pretty strong."

I am currently in a combined draw for the Individual Match and I do not know who will be the opponent. But any opponent who wins this far would be a first-rate opponent.

Of all the players with seed rights to individual fights, the only intermediate rank is the old man. There are two intermediate ranks in the players that have come up from the qualifying round, but both of them rank better than the old man. It is a tough situation for anyone to hit.

"Things are going badly... because it's been like having seed rights for years. Honestly, anyone else is tight."

If you win three times and stay in the top four, next year's seed rights will be confirmed unconditionally.

Below that fifth seed to eighth seed also involves a lot of personal battle ranking points, so it's pretty tough on middle-ranked, point-earning old men.

If possible, it is difficult to get seed rights next year without winning three times and being in the top four, or at least two, but as far as the opponent's mentions are concerned, it is difficult to say it is realistic. There is a slight salvation that seed frames don't hit other seed frames in the first fight, but that's all.

It is only natural that the gates will become narrower than the advanced ranks continue to increase each year, but I guess it is time that the limits are close. Rather, it's more amazing what remains of a seed player at the moment.

"There are limits to how many level differences there are. That sword blade bastard is twice as good as me."

"Well, it's the front line that's fighting over there."

Mr. Sword Blade is extreme, but normally there's no way we can fight on the stage together if there's a difference in level so far. Still, I'm stuck because I have something to mask that difference.

As far as past war history goes, the biggest element keeping the old man in this position is skill.

Even though measures are being taken, it is the sword technique called "Dream Blade" that is characteristic of the blade that cannot be properly countered. Now that it was activated only once in the rough business of forced startup, I know how troublesome it is. Whether there is a difference in level, skill, or if there is a huge difference in experience with Arre, you can handle an opponent who has come up to win a personal battle.

... It's not going to be tough, but if it works out, we might be able to work out two wins.

"Even if we win two, the quarterfinals will be someone from first to fourth seeds, right?

"I hope there's nothing wrong with that.... No announcement yet, but the seed frame combination is already out. It's the night light I win and hit in the quarterfinals."

"Sora again... tight"

"Nah. I hit him with the worst guy I've ever fucked."

Whoever comes will be tight, but the two people who are particularly incompatible with the old man will be Mr. Sword Blade and Mr. Night Light, who are mastering "Dream Blade". The fact that you are mastering means that you are familiar with the characteristics of that skill, so you can hardly take advantage of the advantages of the Dream Blade, which can be said to be the only one.

Mr. Sword Blade once said he couldn't use it as well as his old man, but even with the difference in skill proficiency, the measures would be perfect.

"I have to think better than Mr. Blade."

I hear people love to chop it up for a long time, but it's not going to get any better than Mr. Sword Blade at the top of the personal battle.

I mean, I'm wanted against someone like that.

"If you're going to be a nocturnal opponent, your sword blade opponent is still better. You've fought before. Well, I can't explain it well, but I don't have that kind of hard opponent. It feels like my master's ill will was handed down to Moro."

"A master... isn't he an old man?

"I've been archaic too, but the master of night light is a sword blade. So don't be a grand apprentice for once. Don't grow such a serial killer with a sword blade..."

Is that the kind of genealogy it was? He was in Mr. Sword Blade's clan, so it's not weird.

"Hey, did you see him anywhere? You think they're watching you?"

"A little during the expedition. We haven't fought together in the end, but we've seen a little bit where we're fighting."

I can understand that Mr. Night Light is a strange strength just from seeing the battle of a transformed glass opponent.

At that time, Mr. Night Light looked like he kept sharpening the glass giant while maintaining his naked sword state. Neither the razor blade nor the subsequent naked blade worked too fast to see it, and the array is probably a form of living together. Range is not the normal knife's either. I don't know how to handle the ultra-long range that's emitted at invisible speeds.

"Well, it's no harm knowing how to fight him. Regardless of whether it can be achieved or not, it's close to the best if you say it only for interpersonal matches"

"Than Mr. Sword Blade, the # 1 individual battle?

"Oh, I just can't win because I don't have enough level and experience, and it's not weird to pull it out"

Really? So the stories that we were about to pull out were realistic stories.

"... who are you two? Looks like he's looking at some kind of rivalry."

"Except for Ligres... he's a rare example of how nocturnal warfare doesn't work well. Blunt or cerebral muscle... he was still more likely."

I guess it can't just be a brain muscle at the point of being in that position, but I guess that means a difference in compatibility.

"I don't know if it's next year or next, but if you're going to compete, it's time for a real generation change. It's the second time for me."

"... you're not gonna retire old man?

"No way. I'm gonna lose my seed rights, but I'm gonna stand up to you as a wall."

"You want me to go beyond my corpse?

"No, it's payback"

"That's exciting."

Not only does Mr. Night Light stand up when I challenge him, but the old man stands up.

It's not like when you fought in a trial or a dungeon someday, in true form.... I'd like to spare you the first qualifying match or something.

"But it's not Yuki you want to take down as an old man?

"... well, if you're going to make a clan, give him a personal fight."

I have an appointment with Mr. Night Light, so it's up to me to fight individually. I'm sorry.

And then the personal battle begins. The same goes for team fights and winning out fights, but you can say it's the real deal from here with all the meritocrats. In fact, the audience looks more than it did yesterday.

The audience is in the same place today. Even though it is not a designated seat, it lacks a bit of fun to say that both the mentors and the location are the same.

"How was your uncle?

"If you care, you should have come with me."

"There, look, there was a game I wanted to see"

"Really?"

I did chat with the old man and miss the first or second game, but when I take a seat, it's before the lottery, so that game doesn't always come first.

... It would be Yuki's real intention to avoid that because it is pre-built and when he shows his face in front of his old man he tells him to compete next year.

"So the game between Pyonggi and Afro is over yet?

"What's Pyong-gi... you lost both in the first round. Exactly. The main wall looks thick."

Apparently the game you were looking for was really over.

What Yuki was watching was a clanmaster match between Skinhead Yu and < Afro Dancers >, one of the few intermediate ranks left in the game.

They are both odd characters, but powerful. I don't know if Yuki would be interested. Looks like we've already lost.

Until Game V, there will be no particular turmoil, and in due course the development of winning with higher individual battle rankings will continue.

And in Game Six, where lizard old men compete, opponents are opponents of both adventurers' ranks and individual battle rankings.

"Uncle's opponent, you look strong."

"This is your first contest, but you are a highly regarded player."

The old man's opponent was a standard swordsman all wrapped up to a high standard.

Attacks, defenses, towing, and magic attacks at medium and long distances were also carried out, with no excellence but no gaps. They can do any position in a style that is at the extreme of versatility.

It seems a little mobbly and not very strong just to hear the explanation, but it can be said that people in the advanced ranks can't be weak, and they are such that they combine a large number of techniques of monolithic specialization in places called intermediate ranks. Honestly, I can't think of a vision where an old man can win.

That person isn't the only one who seems strong. Even if you say there are no adventurers to fight on the front lines other than the seed players, they're just not superior enough to fall into the top category. Even after watching the game while listening to Kukuru's commentary so far, I can see that it's all monsters. Though critical, it is a stunning fact that the old man has seed rights in this.

"But I think Mr. Gwal will win this game. The odds are slight, but advantageous."

"Are you serious?"

And, as Kukuru expected, the old man won hard but won.

The key to victory is still the Fantasy Blade. It was difficult to actually respond even if I knew it with knowledge, or it was repeated in one shot, even though I was overwhelmed all the time.

It is also significant that the other athlete did not have a trump card called this. Both the commentary flowing in the on-site announcements and the conversations heard from the audience around them were all acclaimed as appropriate.

The old man's second game, played across other games, also won while being hunted down. It's almost curbside, but what do you care? It's a killer.

The first battle of Mr. Night Light in question, but this one was light.

Even though it's not a seed frame, the game ends without endangering the advanced rank adventurer opponent with little to nothing. The game time is long, but the second half is just one-sided, so I have a bad taste.

"... Tuna, are you going to deal with that?

"Don't say it. I'm a little sorry."

During the relay, Mr. Night Light's up on the giant screen was something that I couldn't broadcast in the tea room for a bit. The audience around us was used to it, but we're dongles. Without promises, he's still the one who wants to dodge everything he can. They tear it apart.

... I don't care how many old men are killers, there's not going to be anything I can do about that. The same goes for not getting through the trump card, but the basic abilities are too different.

Even then, the individual main battle continued with little turmoil, and all eight remaining in the quarterfinals became an uninteresting combination of seed players. As far as previous games are concerned, the semifinals would be the top four individual fights in the first to fourth seeds if the old man didn't make a wave.

And the quarterfinals begin. The game between lizard old man vs. Mr. Night Light is game two.

A detailed commentary was added to match athlete admission as to whether winning so far would treat them differently. The screen even shows a digest of past war history. Sadly, the yellow voice is louder when Mr. Night Light enters because of the difference in appearance.... Well, you're a lizard.

The game's rise looked plain from the side.

Contrary to the appearance of a young samurai with a beautiful appearance, Mr. Night Light's battle is never flashy. Advanced technology is not visible and easy to understand, it is something that roars the bastard. The ultra-fast knife extraction technique will also only appear to be out of target even though I haven't done anything if I try from ordinary people who can't see the sword flash. The old man isn't flashy either, so it wouldn't be a very interesting game for the average audience.

It's hard to say I can see it, too. I know there are sparks scattered to match the sword you wave, but is the old man looking at that and intercepting it?

"Yuki, can you see that?

"Hmmm...... I guess it's critical. It's a little... tough when it comes to dealing with it. My uncle feels like he's in the mood."

Sure, you can imagine where you're the only target, but that's not an easy thing to do.

Among those invisible slaughters, there will be a loosening, and there will be a feint. We need something that transcends the pre-reading and survey phases to respond.

"I guess it's my uncle's move that bothers me more than that... they're doing something, Arr"

"What is something?"

Sure, the old man's move looks like he lacks excellence, unlike a previous game. It looks spicy.

"That's the tactic Mr. Night Light is good at. Mr. Watanabe needs to do something about it first if he's planning a match."

"Does Kukuru know what that is?

"It's a combination of spells and auxiliary magic."

Does that mean we're trying to correct each other's status? Isn't that normal?

"Buff-debuffs are nothing special."

It's a commonly used element. Measures are then also taken as a matter of course.

We haven't had much experience yet, but it's not uncommon if we're above intermediate.

"I know you two have had status-assisted witchcraft, but wasn't it hard until you got used to it?

"Sort of."

I don't have that much experience, but Mr. Mizuki uses it, and [Stationary Clock Tower] also had the assistance of Mr. Carrot.

Temporary correction of status is precise operation… a huge difference for those living in a comma second world. It doesn't simply mean that there should be a big status correction. My status is still more difficult when it comes to other people. So buffers that are difficult to add or subtract around there are basically said to be difficult classes.

The same is true for the talent improvement of The Hunger Stormbeast, but that is a big part of the fight forcefully with the ability and status of the elevated vegetables. It should be even more powerful if we can adapt to change.

Debuffs against such buffs are a little simpler and don't need to be adjusted because they don't get in their way. However, this one may be resisted or inhibited by the target.

"When you're about old man, you're about to take care of debuffs, aren't you?

"Naturally, you're dealing with debuffs."

"Oh, you know what... wow, that's nasty"

Yuki seems to have understood what Mr. Night Light is doing. Yuki told me so much about it.

"Mr. Night Light is doing it the other way around. He's giving his opponent a boost to his status."

"... what? Oh, no... you know what?"

Unlike debuffs, buffs are hard to take care of. If a correction is made unintentionally, it can only get in the way.

Or so, you can't even get out of hand with anti-debuff measures. Wow, make it a pain in the ass.

"That's a short effect time. Pretty eye-catching, I guess. Stats are getting messy. The timing is perfect, and it's a feint in itself."

"Instead of making the range and effect time extremely short, they're focusing on activation time and resistance penetration to enhance it."

"MP operation..."

It's hard work.

For example, the moment you step in to pack your distance from your opponent, if you double your strength on your leg, you lose your posture. If you suck, you'll get cocky, and extreme stories, even muscles can break.

It's more troublesome when you activate a skill. It is easily underdeveloped if the comma-second behavior is shifted. Stiff time awaits. It's not about collaboration.

The countermeasure... is to have capability change resistance skills or equipment with no upward or downward relationship at most, but it is unlikely that Mr. Night Light is anticipating it.

"In addition, we will also use spells to produce the effect of a state anomaly during slaughter. And the strength of the vegetables is superior."

"... there's no gap. Yuki, how would you fight?"

"The countermeasure… is to completely block the magic itself, move fast enough not to let the object be taken, or fight at a distance…"

Those are tough, too, given Mr. Night Light's abilities. If I were Yuki, I might be able to make it happen in the future, but it's not for me.

Considering that status manipulation is only part of the tactic, it doesn't make sense to prevent it.

Eventually, the lizard old man collapsed to the ground without even being able to activate the trump card's "Dream Blade," and demonization began.... settled.

The opposing Mr. Night Light seems to have little damage. The HP bar displayed on the giant screen of the arena is only marginally reduced. I'm pretty sure the old man struggled because he's not as one-sided as the previous game...... the walls are too thick.

Mr. Night Light saw this one before exiting the stage.

Distance is distance. Normally, you can't possibly find it. But those eyes did feel like they were looking at me in a massive audience.

I'm sure that's a signal for a declaration of war. Waiting for a challenger named me on that stage, he says so.

The promise you made to Mr. Night Light was just a word of mouth, and it wasn't a year's deadline that was enforced. Blah, you won't be complaining about not appearing. All that lies ahead is disappointment.

... I don't mind being chopped up, but it's more of a relief to be able to show that guy his disappointed face.

We need to get to that realm in a year.

You've got a lot of expensive hurdles for me.
