"So your brother's got zero cities, too."

During lunch after time passed from morning login, we talked about the city assigned to Yaohua.

"Me, too. Yaohua has zero cities."

"Yeah, yeah. It wasn't just me, but the whole party was a zero city."

"So, did you file an application to join?

"Of course. I'm filing an application for everyone."

"Well, that would be nice"

"Oh, and Lu Dou's party was all set to zero in the city," he said.

Apparently, Ludou as well as Yaohua have decided to have a zero city.

Now, to some extent, you're in a state of acquaintance.

"So, if we have lunch, we're headed to City Zero as soon as possible?

"You plan on doing that. You should go from the first day and check your status, beyond the limitation of your daily login time."

"Well, you're right. Let's go when we're all here."

"That would be better. We're talking about sealing the gear, and we need to find out how it can be unsealed."

"Right. I don't have a lot of gear to use, but if you're my brother, I'll use a lot of gear."

"You're right. Worst of all, I wish I could just open up a lot of gear that I usually use... but still, it would be more than a typical player"

"That's right. Well, then, thank you. I'm logged in first."

"Yeah, I'm gonna log in when I'm done cleaning up, too."

After eating the noodles for lunch, Yaohua and I each went back to our room and logged into the game.

It's a little early in time, but it's okay to go ahead and wait.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Logging into the game and waiting in the discourse room. For the time being, Illis came to Yuki, Yuzuki and Dwan.

"Thank you for waiting, Twa."

"Did I make you wait? For once, we're on time for our appointment."

"Oh, I don't mind. I just logged in sooner."

"Well, then we're all here, and we're going to head to Zero City soon."

"Right. Then let's stick it out and go."

In order to move to the city where the urban defense battle event will take place, they need to move from portals such as the transfer gates.

We have confirmed that we can also move from the home portal, so we try to move from the home portal to the city zero after we have partied.

But before I could move, a screen appeared for selecting the weapon to unseal.

"Hmm, did you specify the equipment to be unsealed before you first moved to the city"

"Right. I only use one type of weapon, so no problem, but what does Twa do?

"Uh, in my case, there's even so much..."

Two handguns, three rifles, two manacanons, two maggie magnums and one Holy Spirit weapon with a weapon of everyday use.

Plus, there are two knives as subwepons.

A total of 11 weapons to be sealed, one of which must be chosen.

Other than me, I only have about two pieces of equipment other than Holy Spirit weapons, so it would be easy to choose.

If you look at it as a party, you don't have enough avant-garde, but unsealing only one handgun or manacanon will only give you one hand, so your attack will drop.

Considering that, the optimal solution would be… to disarm one of the rifles.

Now, the rifle to disarm...

"Yeah, let's unseal the Inia Snipe"

"It's easy. Why did you choose that?

"I guess it's simply because we can do ranged attacks and attack can use both physics and magic. Even the most resistant opponent can expect a lot of damage in conjunction with piercing damage."

"What a convenience it would be if it were a Hydragon weapon. Then you've chosen a weapon to unseal, and let's head to Zero City."

"Yes. Let's do our best, gentlemen"

"Oh, good luck."

After the unsealing process, it was possible to move to the city zero.

Moving around by selecting city zero from the home portal, it was a fortified city surrounded by walls.

The portal, the Metastatic Gate, was set in a square in the centre of the city.

From there, roads are maintained that should be called boulevards towards the east, west and north, leading in a straight line to the gates installed on the outer walls that surround the city.

I guess if we go through the gate, we can get out on the field, but what should we start with...

"This is where urban defense plays out. Apparently, quite a few people are already in this city."

"Sounds like it. Then it appears at the edge of the field of view that the remaining time is accessible to this server"

"It's been counting down since eight hours, and that's how it is. Okay, what do we start with?

"Um, we're in production, and we have to check for production facilities first, right?

"Right. I think we should check to see if we have any production facilities first."

"So is that. It's okay to ask the professor about anything else later, and we'll start by checking whether or not there are any production facilities based there."

Since the first appointment was made, it was decided to split it up and look around to see if there was a place that would serve as a production base.

I walk around the city with Yuki, but I didn't see any residents (NPCs) that would be present in the city of this hand after about half an hour of walking around.

"... it's strange that you won't come across any inhabitants walking around the city all this time"

"Right. Is it something to do with the event?

"I don't know. Either way, it's troublesome that I don't see the right person to ask."

I tried to glide around the city, but I couldn't discover what the residents looked like, and I reached the gate on the outer wall.

It's a few minutes away if I head straight here, but it took me quite a while to walk around the city.

When I reached the gate, I was able to discover the inhabitants as gatekeepers.

Apparently, our first resident is like him.

"Excuse me. Where did the residents of this city go?

"Yeah? Are you Gentiles when I ask you that question? [M] There have been times when Gentile-like people have gone out through the gates, but it's rare to be talked to."

"Uh, I'm sorry about that. So, why is there no one in the city?

"Oh, I guess we should talk about that first. In a few days, the city will be attacked by demons. They're evacuating everyone but guards like us."

"Demon...... I mean is it the devil"

"Oh, that daemon. In fact, there are monsters outside the city who are spires of demons. Residents who can't fight are being evacuated."

"Really... we are artisans, isn't there somewhere we can use it as a production base?

"Hmm... I'm sorry, but I'm only a guard. I'm not familiar with that. If only the residents of the city would listen to me normally, they would soon find out..."

"Really...... ok. I'll be searching the city for a while."

"If you want to find out about the city, you should go to church. There must be a priest left who is the face of the city. A priest might know something. The church is a building with a bell on that roof, so you won't get lost."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Oh, then be careful. If there's anything else you don't know, you should go to the barracks at the North Gate. Except for gatekeepers like me and guards on guard duty all over the city, so maybe we can talk about it."

"Yes, thank you for everything"

"What, I don't care. It's impossible for us to protect this city without the Gentiles. Well, let's get along."

"Yeah, bye."

"Yeah, I think the whole city will be fine, but be careful."

Break up with the guards and we'll walk out to the church.

Share the information you just purchased in a party chat.

Apparently, Yuzuki and the others obtained similar information, so they met up in front of the church to visit the church together.

The church is reached in a few minutes on foot, joining the teak moons who had arrived earlier to enter the church.

The church was cancerous and only two old men and young women were in the building.

"Welcome to the Church, Gentiles. My name is Ares and I am the head of this church."

"My name is Euno. Gentiles, we welcome you."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Yuzuki. From here, it's Dwan, Illis, Twa, Yuki. So, quick and bad, can you tell me what's going on in this city?

"Yes, I understand. About a month ago, there was a shrine that this city would be raided by a herd of demons. As a result, the residents of the city have been evacuated to another city because of temporary evacuation. And the trust also included something that the Gentiles would fight for both visiting and visiting the city."

"You're a trustee. Then the residents of the city could have stayed, right?

"The demon that says it's going to raid this city is powerful. It was the Lord's decision that even if there were residents who didn't have the means to protect themselves, they would just get in the way."

"I see. So, why do you guys stay?

"Only guards with more than some strength are left in the city. That's just too much of a passive thing. And even if all the Gentiles came to us on the Temple Street, we decided that we wouldn't be able to do anything about it without people to support us."

"It is painful that nothing can be done by all the Gentiles who protect this city. If there's anything we can do, we can help."

"Help? What exactly can you do?

"Yes. First of all, we will help you unseal the gear you Gentiles have. Unsealing requires a certain number of stones called 'Demon Sealing Stones', but I will unseal your gear if you have them ready."

"It's a magic seal. It's an item I've never heard of, but how do I get that?

"The Demon Seal Stone is held by the Demon Spirits. To be precise, the nucleus that shapes the Demon Spirit is the Demon Stone."

"I mean, you just have to defeat the monsters outside the city and collect the demon seal stones. So, as a favor from us, we're artisans, but we don't have a production base in this city. Is it possible to have the equipment that I said so?

"Well... just to confirm, do you have a production base of your own?

"You have a production base. What's wrong with that?

"Then we will be able to use the magic of the Magic Seal Stone to handle copies of your production base in this city. That way we can respond to your request, how about that?

"I don't mind that, but you can use it for all sorts of things."

"A demon seal stone is a demon stone with a large amount of magic. So it's possible to use that magic to support it."

"Euno is one of those witches who can be commissioned. If she were you, it would also be possible to use the power of God in exchange for magic. That's why we stayed in this city."

In other words, is it because this resident named Euno (NPC) is this important NPC?

When you defeat a monster around the city to collect demon sealing stones and bring them to her, you can unseal your gear and develop your base.

When that happens, I guess we should start by collecting it from the Demon Seal Stone to create a base.

"In the meantime, I found out about the base. So, how many magic seal stones should I collect specifically?

"Right....... I was wondering if it would be possible to recreate your stronghold with about 40 demon sealed stones"

"Forty. Got it."

"Yes, I wish I could help you too... because I'm not very good at fighting..."

"I'll split it up there as a division of roles. Well, first of all, I'd like to set up a base, so we'll be excused."

"Yes. Then please prepare the magic seal stone. As soon as I receive the Enchanted Stone, I will be ready to prepare a base."

"So, ladies and gentlemen, I apologize and thank you"

"Oh, I'll see you later"
