Unlimited World - 90% of the battle for productive jobs is ready
176. Fairy Town
"Oh, you're finally done."
Escaped the Reid area and opened it best, Teak Moon leaked those words.
"Was it tough on you, Yuzuki?
"That's tough, Mr. White Wolf. I'm a stubborn producer, aren't I?
"I guess. Well, good to see you next time."
"Yeah, I want the material anyway for my skills. So, when do you plan to go next?
"That's it, I think you want to see this"
The point indicated by Mr. White Wolf is the entrance to the Reid area.
But there was an indication "287: 58: 45 left until the ban on entry is lifted," as it was subjected to.
Because the hourly display is going down every second... uh, activate the calculator tool... yeah, it's 12 days in in-game time, so they're going to say you can't get in for 6 days in real time.
"The Raid Quest prevents monopolization by certain players, so once you complete it, you won't be able to get in for a certain period of time. Looks like this Reid Quest is off limits for six days in real time."
"... which means you can't try again until next Friday at the earliest."
"I guess that's what you're saying. Well, you can try again next Saturday."
"Okay. So, can we have the same time next week?
"Right, shall we? Is everyone else okay?
Mr. White Wolf will confirm, but there is no objection.
This is going to be a Reid Street day on Saturday night for a while.
"Well, then, what do we do?
"With that said, can't you still summon a fairy?
"Yeah, I guess I can't summon you either. I've calculated the time remaining until summons is available, but it's seven days from now in the same real time as Fenrill."
"It's also about being waited..."
"Well, I have Fenrill, and I don't seem to get much of a chance to summon him.... Fenrir's already kansted, so I might just level it up."
Yeah, these places are gamers, right?
"So it's a dissolution today."
"Isn't that okay? I have to go to fairy land."
"Well, if you put it that way, there was an event like that."
"You did. Do you mind if I come with you, if you don't mind?
"I'm going, too. If this Reid Quest clearance is the key, we should be able to go too."
"Well, I don't mind. If you don't, you might have to treat it like an instance area.
"That's when it is. It just makes sense to visit a new neighborhood."
"Then do you mind? What's everybody else gonna do?
Only four of us have to go to Fairy Town in this: Yuki for me, Hal and Rik.
Everyone else would just be sightseeing if they followed me...
"I'll follow you anyway. After today, I'm tired of going home and I don't feel like doing anything."
"I agree. It's not a bad idea to take a break and visit fairy land."
"I'm coming."
Other members also wish to accompany the fairy township in a different tone.
... Well, it's a new area and you know what I'd like to be the first to go.
"Well, why don't we all go anyway"
"Hmm. That's good."
"But you have to go back to the flower garden, right? What are you gonna do, Twa?
"Uh, what shall I do?"
That being said, I wasn't thinking about it.
Once you travel to the portal behind the forest of confusion before you go for the flower garden?
"Then there will be no problem. If you divide it into woods and walk a minute or two appropriately, you will be returned to the flower garden. I've demonstrated it before, so I'm pretty sure."
"... what that shortcut"
"I tried it when I came alone before. As soon as you walk in the woods without [fairy guide] or guidance from Ketsey, you will be returned to the flower garden. It's convenient in a way, isn't it?
"That means as soon as you ignore the Ketsey or skill directions, you go back to shaking them out, right?
"That's what I'm saying. but in this case, let it be used as a convenient shortcut."
"Well, okay. Anything faster than walking out of the woods of confusion. Do you want to go?"
In the meantime, I'll take the lead and walk out.
Sirius keeps it back in the larvae because the size of the subadult just seems immobile in the woods.
Honestly, it's tough for 35 of us to walk through this forest... well, it looks like they're all following us, okay?
And when I walked about 2 minutes, it was certainly a square with flower gardens.
... Only in this case, but not too convenient, this shortcut.
"Well, we're back to the square with the flower garden, but what are we supposed to do from here on out?
"Well? You haven't heard. Let's look at the flower gardens."
"Flower garden hey... you got something... glowed out!?
Approaching the flower garden, the entire flower garden begins to shed light.
It emitted another color of light on the colour of the flower, which was forming one magical formation.
"Oh, Twa, that!
"Oh, I'm watching. Totally flashy."
A huge, lavishly decorated door emerges from within the magical formation of the flower garden.
Eventually, as the door soars over the flower garden, the movement stops there, waiting for us to open it.
I wonder if the door itself is about 3 meters in size.
"It's quite a gorgeous performance."
"That's true. I had no idea the flowers in the flower garden were forming a magic formation."
"Yeah, that's a pretty good performance!
"That's true! This is so exciting!
It seems to be generally popular with everyone else. Above all.
Now, I can't help but stare at the door forever, so I go into the flower garden and try to open the door.
... Now, does this door pull open or push open?
It bothers me which is right, and stops the fuzz.
"? What's wrong, Twa?
"Oh, no, it's nothing. I'll open it for now."
"Yeah, okay"
... Do you want to push it for now?
So if it doesn't open, I'll pull it off.
I try to grab the door knob and push it as I turn it.
Then the door opened and a blinding light plunged in from the other side.
"Ugh, I don't see anything!
"Ho, this is a pure performance!
"That's pretty good. Can you expect this?
When it opened in the form of pushing the door open as it was, there was another sight spread out there.
The other side of the door, that is, where we are now, is a flower garden on one side of the perimeter.
There was certainly something that overwhelmed the beholder in the sight of some sort of regularity, although both the colour and the type of flowers were fragmented.
"This is the first time I've reached Fairy Town. You will be awarded the title [Visitor to Fairy Town]
A system message will tell you to get a new title… for now, you can check the content later.
Well, we've reached fairy ground, but what do we do from here on out?
Everyone else looks around thoughtfully, but it's a flower garden as far as I can see, and I see nothing else.
Well, what's the matter...
(Ningen, Kita)
(Hontoda, Ningengakita)
"Yeah? What?
I heard whispers directly in my head.
Everyone around me looks the same, looking around.
I keep whispering even more when I say you don't mind how we are doing.
(Ningen, Omotenacisl)
(Un, hisasibrinoningen, omotenasi)
(Minnade, Omotenasi)
"Huh!? What!?
"What!? This ball of light!?
When balls of light emerge from the flowers around us, they begin to surround us.
"Oh man, I wonder what this is all about?
"This is like a safety area and I don't think it's going to be a fight..."
The professor and Mr. White Wolf still seem calm in this condition.
And when the raised balls of light come to the height of our faces, the balls of light suddenly squeeze and eventually take a people-shaped silhouette about the size of a human head.
And the light eventually subsided...... there was an undisputed existence there that could be called a 'fairy'.
"Welcome, Ningen! [incomprehensible]
"Welcome, hissing ningen!!
"I'm coming to Ningen. Did you make me do it?
"Ningen! Ningen!!
The fairies fly around us having fun.
... Professors and White Wolves are worried about this...
"Ningen! What are you doing here?
"Ningen, don't you have much?
"Ningen, are you there?
The fairies talk to each other about a lot of things.
It's just hard to hear what you're saying because at the same time a large number of fairies talk to you.
"You can't talk about this too much at once. You'll all be in trouble."
It was the management AI, the Fairy Queen, who had been with us until earlier, who appeared to make the flying fairies disappear.
"Welcome to Fairy Home. Thank you very much. I wondered what I would do if I'd been forgotten."
"I haven't forgotten... I just got a pretty fierce welcome though"
"I'm sorry. Looks like these kids got strained too. I'm your first customer."
"... well, I guess so. So, can you explain to me that the Fairy Queen herself came?
"Right.... Well, this situation is a trick to surprise the first Gentiles (players) you visit if you tell the back story. It's a kind of play set up by the development team."
Yeah, I knew I'd be free to administer this AI.
I've been revealing the backstory of the development side.
"So, it's Fairy Town, but you just got the title [Visitor to Fairy Town], right? The players who get it will be able to move from each transfer gate or transfer portal to Fairy Town, a trick to make it easier for them to visit after the second time."
"That's convenient."
"Yeah, because it's inconvenient to walk in the woods for 10 minutes every time to come here. I guess I missed the fact that people stopped coming to this map that the development team had spared while I slept."
"… it's also hard to develop"
"Right. But I also designed that sealed ghost because it's a development team, even though it's a different unit. It's also because of the development that fewer players visit here."
"So what do we do now?
"Right, shall we start with the first explanation to be given to the players visiting here? There's a fairy NPC who's supposed to be a guide, but I can't help it because I went out in person."
"… then please explain and do it"
"Yes, then." This is a fairy town, a place of fairies and spirits. Various fairies and spirits live here. You'll get along with the residents here and you'll get all kinds of favors' … that's all. "
"Is that all?
"That's all the original NPC lines are. To give you a more detailed explanation, the fairies and spirits here also have a preference set, which can divide a variety of useful items depending on your preference. Some fairies and spirits order quests, so look for them."
"... ok. So, the question is, is there a way to distinguish fairies from spirits?
"Right. Most things you don't know by their appearance, but you can tell the difference as soon as you talk to them. It is the fairy who can only speak in one word, it is the spirit who can speak fluently. Oh, some spirits can only speak 'Spirit Language', so if you want to communicate with that spirit, remember [Spirit Language] skills, right? It's a good deal because it also improves your status. The [Spirit Language] skillbook can be rewarded for your quest by the Spirit of Fairy Township, so be sure to look hard for it"
"... uh, is that the end of the story?
"Yeah, right. Is this about the normal event in Fairy Town?... you're getting a good shot, aren't you?
"Uhm, it's recording perfectly"
... That's right Professor, you don't have a loophole.
"Earlier, they were also filming me when I gave an explanation about the fairy, so I strained to give an explanation. My turn, very little."
"... it"
Wouldn't it be a bad idea to have so many administrative AIs out there?
"... Well, that's about as good a forward swing as it gets"
"... is everything up to now foreshadowing?
"Yeah, it's a forward swing. You've come to fairy land because there's another event."
"Another event?
Well, I can't insult this admin AI.
Ghosts or snakes...
"Nothing else has brought you to Fairy Town. To get your covenant spirits out."
