"All right, let's have an ops meeting"

"You're switching fast..."

After finishing up Compgacha with a blast, I calmed down and I sat back in my chair, elbowed myself to my desk and put my hands together in front of my face.

And look to them to discuss an operation to collect demon stones.

"Okura-kun, this time, you're giving up heavily! You turned all that around, so are you satisfied now?

"No! I used a demon stone that far! Can you pull back!

"You're giving up! Don't ever hold a meeting!

Knoll slaps his desk in the van as loud as it sounds, desperately begging me to give up. But that's not me giving up.

I've used so many demon stones... there's only one left, but what gives up here? Giving up now is like giving up a prize that is falling in a crane game.

It can't be such a shame.

"What is it, Mr. Knoll?

"Speaking of which, you didn't know Sissha. Well, I haven't actually experienced it either."

"Ugh... this happened before."

Sisha doesn't seem to know why Knoll gets so far into rejection.

To her like that, Knoll tells her about the time.

Mmmm...... Nor accepted my usual collection of demonic stones, but can you still quite break it this time? Because it's an emergency now...... I can see it becoming a reproduction of those days.

Given that, does it make sense for Knoll to have another rejection so far?

"That... you were doing something that seemed like a lot of fun again."

"It's not that fun..."

I was wondering if Estelle would react the same way she did when she found out about it, but I mentioned something completely wrong.

Listening to Knoll, he said he seemed to enjoy the sentiments that came out... I knew Sisha shouldn't think in common sense.

Well, from me, it's more convenient. She's going to be able to stand a working hunt with me.

"So, brother? What kind of operation is that?

"Eh, Estelle! You can't ask! Now we can still turn back!

"That's good. I also honestly regret stopping like this. After listening to your brother, don't you think it's too late?

"Ugh, but..."

"Mr. Knoll, let's just talk."

"... I see."

She was trying so hard to refuse to listen to me, but she gave up on things like reluctance when she heard Estelle and Sisha.

Maybe it's the difference between someone who actually experienced it and someone who just listened. When that happens, do we stop doing it with the momentum we did before?

Now if we both nored, we might not be able to collect Demon Stones anymore.

"Mm-hmm. Then I'll say it again."

Based on what I just thought, what do you say we work out a plan about hunting?

If you don't think about it later, you'll destroy yourself like a charge. Look at the bill. I'm sorry about the experience when I wet my pillow.

This gacha has six more days to put in today. Let's keep the idea in mind that the period may be renewed at a time when the date is crossed, so we have five more days. I think about it for a long time, and I get in trouble when it was short.

As for hunting grounds first, I do not make the choice to look for new hunting grounds.

If you're going to waste your time searching for an efficient place now, it's easier to make money hunting where you know it. So now the candidate is around the North Cave, Goblin and Oak Forest, and Mount Lemuri?

Mount Lemuri is out of the question when considering demon stone efficiency. It takes longer than anything else to defeat an enemy. If you choose, it's from the other two.

On a regular hunt, the northern cave gets about 7 demon stones in an hour. And the Oak Forest guy says it feels like he did it before, about 5 in an hour.

Don't be a northern cave if you choose. But if you stay like this, you'll only get 70 after 10 hours of hunting.

I can't try to be any more efficient because I'm almost the most efficient in my current state.

It's not even that wide, so we don't have enough sawdust to try to catch it, and if we increase the number, the burden of ester increases too much.

So this Heihachi thought. I thought we should hunt in both.

As long as the northern caves have esters and fishermen, they can hunt enough. When that happens, there will be more than two of them.

So you can go to the oak forest with these two extras. This should make Demon Stone efficiency considerably better. We know in the last labyrinth that demon stones enter even when we leave.

That's all I told them.

"It feels like. You got something to say?

"Yes!"

"Knoll, what?

"How about giving up?

"Rejected. Please understand"

"Oh, no."

Still don't like Knoll, I try to disagree.

Hmm, is there any good persuasion material?

"Mr. Knoll, you're very negative. Do you hate it that much?

"Well, because... I'm going to think about it. We've already done it 18 times, but we didn't get it all together, did we? If we were to align this, how many exactly would we need?

"We might get out next, huh?

"That's how you say it, and if you sloppy, you're going to hunt until you're critical for a period of time..."

That's certainly possible too...... But if I pull this far, I can't back off anymore.

I really, really want to welcome you, Luna!

"I know you don't like Knoll. But can you help me out there somehow? After that, I'll do whatever I can."

I also have trouble getting people to help me like this, so I asked them to join hands and worship me.

Listening to my words, Knoll reacted by moving his body with a piqun.

"Anything... So, is there..."

"Brother, is that us too?

"Oh, yeah, sure."

"Heh, then I agree. I'll help you."

Knoll puts his hand on his jaw and starts to worry about hmm. Estelle, who was listening with me, also asked me if I was intrigued by what I said, putting my hands on my desk and riding myself out.

He admitted it with a lovely smile... but this could have been a bad thing. I didn't know what they were going to demand to be happy so far. I'm scared a little later.

"Why not, it sounds good, doesn't it? I'm here to help, Mr. Ogura."

"Oh, thank you."

Sisha laughed nicely and admitted that she felt something creepy.

Shit...... I'm scarier than Estelle.

I don't know what they demand...... but do I have to brace my belly here because I want to get the comp cha all together?

"So, what about Knoll?

"Mmm... that's fine. We work together."

"All right! Thanks!

Thanks to the two of them for agreeing, Nor did he have a choice.

Phew... now you can manage to hunt. I'm afraid of the later, but let's give up that it was necessary there.

Let them go through with it. I have to do a lot of things to thank you.

Day 1.

The next morning, about the time the sun started rising, we started moving out of our homes to hunt.

I'm free to use the beacon from home, so I'll start by sending Estelle and the others to the north cave. It's great to have a home.

I looked at the remaining period of the chatter first thing in the morning and the display had changed with 5 days remaining.

Apparently, the chatter period was counted in a day, not after the labyrinth was cleared. Eggy.

"Well, then let's start hunting hard today!

"Okura-kun... you equipped it."

"Oh, that's pretty cool, huh?

"Cool, I mean..."

"Hyah! That sounds like something."

I got out of the mess, so I'm using my new gear.

It was a black protective device that could be worn on the shoulder and had a number of sharp 20cm or so thorns.

I thought it was going to be pretty cool, but Knoll's reaction feels subtle...... why.

――――――

● Shoulder pat with lizard

Attack +100

+100 Defense

――――――

Looks like it'll increase your offense, and it's a pretty good piece of equipment. Tackle with this and you're going to get some damage.

"Ugh... I'm finally here..."

Leaving Estelle and Sissha in the north cave, me and Nole made a move to the oak forest.

When she arrives in the woods, does she recall the previous, with a sinister voice?

I could have brought Sissha, but I decided to let Nol and Sissha take turns hunting for oak with the fisherman for a try.

I lend Sisha my sacred wreck cloth and a defensive bracelet, so my measures as a fisherman are complete.

"Knoll's been a lot stronger than he's been since then, and we can do it even faster this time, can't we?

"Black Cook Oak has already been a blow since then, so I don't think it's going to change much."

Hmm, Knoll's got a jump in talent, and I thought he'd hunt faster than before... isn't he?

"Well, then... Knoll goes around here, here and here. I'll hunt somewhere else."

"Heh? Aren't we hunting together?

"What are you talking about? Unlike that time, you're already high on level and gear, so you've decided to hunt away."

Back then, I needed multiple attacks to defeat Black Oak on my own, but now I can defeat one or two shots.

So this time we plan to move away and go around separate lipop zones. This is going to do the same thing in Sisha.

Now I can't double it... but it should also increase the efficiency of the Demon Stone considerably.

"... Osakura has grown, too, hasn't he? That's what watching you grow feels like."

"You're my protector! I'm not dusting!

Put your arms together, yeah. Nole was looking at me with a nod.

I'm glad you said you grew up, but I feel kind of complicated.

Then the hunt began, as we did before.

I'll knock out the goblins and knock them out when the black oak springs up, while I go around the three lipop locations just like Knoll.

Thanks to her buffs, I could have defeated Black Oak with one blow.

However, compared to when the two of us were going around together, the processing time for goblins and oaks was slightly slower, not enough to say twice as efficient.

Still, it's more efficient than going around together.

I will not pick up any drop items this time.

If you have time to do that, you need to get one or more demon stones.

"Lord Okura, it's getting dark, isn't it? I'd better finish the day..."

"Come on, what are you talking about? You've only saved 114 pieces!

"Enough is enough… It's easier than before, but hunting like this is tough after all…"

Would it have been nearly 10 hours since we started hunting? Seeing the sky, it was already approaching the sunset color.

Even pale goblins and oaks were deciding to fly with Excalibur, crushing their heads with tackles and knocking them down.

Then Knoll approaches me and tells me I'm done for the day. If you look at the Demon Stone, it's up to 128 more.

Can you earn 114 Demon Stones today alone... if you pull out the Labyrinth, it's the highest Demon Stone recovery rate ever.

But this is not enough to dominate Compugacha. We need to earn more, more demon stones.

With that in mind, my smartphone vibrated. Looking at the screen, it looks like Estelle contacted me at the transceiver.

'Brother, let's get this over with. Exactly, I'm tired already.'

'Ha... ha... I, I've been, I've been running, what...'

"Mmm... right. Let's just get this over with."

Apparently, that's the limit.

I was just thinking yesterday about not doing too much... should we stop here?

"Well, let's say we pull the chatter with today's achievements!

"Please, please, I want this to end."

"Ha, I've been doing this more than twice as long as usual, so I'm tired"

"I don't know, I think Sasori's still chasing me from behind..."

I picked up Estelle and the others and came back to my home. And to turn the chatter, we sit in a chair and we all surround the desk.

Knoll joins hands as he prays, Estelle is tired or elbowed to the chair to cover her eyes with one hand, and Sisha grabs both arms for chills and poses as if they were cold.

Estelle seems particularly tired because it was her first long hunt. Sounds like you shouldn't make me too unscrupulous.

"All right, then we'll do the chatter with the demon stones we've saved. Knoll will pull it off today."

"Yes, sir! Come on, get out. You're out!

Quick, it's time for a chatter today. I can do it twice today. Now if you pull the dimension room, the hunt is over at that point. be liberated.

Does Knoll expect that, or is he a more motivated voice than ever?

Whoa, whoa! screaming, Knoll tapped an 11-series gacha.

A treasure chest is shown on the screen. And the chest, silver, gold. Stopped with gold.

[R Food, SR Beacon, 10 x R Potion, R Great Sword, SR Excalibur, SR Explosion Voucher, R Thin Book, SR Corona Ring, R Hot Ring, R Flash Ball, "Shoulder Pat with SR Toge"]

"Ugh, it's not! Why does this come out so many times!

"It's a comp for once, but... you're wearing too much."

Boom-boom my arm, and Knoll is about to regret it.

Did you get another shoulder pat with a lizard... don't come out with this excalibur. Oh, there's an Excalibur out there, too.

This weapon is already cursed. Don't come out... I hope it gets stronger.

She was about to regret it, rethinking and tapping the 11th series of gacha again.

A treasure chest is shown on the screen. And the chest, silver, gold. Stopped with gold.

[R snack, SR life jewel, R plush, R junk ring, SR escape device, R all-purpose medicine, SR waist pouch, R smoke balls, R camp set, SR pan lid]

"Ugh!? It was gold again..."

"Can't you even knoll..."

Damn, Knoll remembered it as an enemy... it looks like he got caught up in the lust sensor.

When this happens, do we have to let Mofft pull it off tomorrow? Mofft wouldn't be dominated by appetite.

"I have to do that again tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow I'll be fine with the oak, right?

Estelle also has a dark look on her eyebrows because she didn't finish today either.

Looks like Sisha cares more about tomorrow without making any particular moves. Her positivity may be number one among us...
