Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 210: To the Vault of Wisdom

Toka's solo destruction of the “Petyrone of Tsubaki” was accompanied by an interview at a major information relay bulletin board, and in an instant he ran around Isanami.

As a result, the nest inhabited by the Crystal Worm on the 8th floor of Amatumara was treated as a kind of sacred site and packed by many swordsmen every day.

Furthermore, the discovery of the possibility of developing new moves by increasing proficiency led to a great deal of trouble for the offensive teams.

Peace, which was said to be a period of infinity without events, was fragile and collapsed, and now there were many players in the field who encouraged them to level up.

"Speaking of which, did you get any decorations from the Petyrone crusade?

"I got a muscle decoration."

"... muscle samurai"

"Mikage, did you say something?

Instead, Toka, who is supposed to be in such a turmoil, enjoys green tea in the small rise of the White Deer Monastery with the serenity of a typhoon.

Though the name and face of Toka became famous, there was not as much trouble as I expected, but rather the swordsmen who saw her all over town were close enough to open their doors.

"I don't think the toca is another hard type to talk to."

"... if you show me that fight, I won't be able to get close."

"Mika, gee!

Mikage quickly escapes to the ceiling as he sees a toca that breaks his soft smile and swells his cheeks.

He's a light ninja, saying he can pull out the thread.

"Female players can speak up quite a bit. Teach how to use the colorful flower stream and advise on skill composition."

"Well, it's kind of ancestral."

"No, please don't say that. I don't have the qualifications as a teacher yet....."

Appreciatively, she dyes her cheeks peachy and turns away.

Speaking of which, did you say you were practicing swordsmanship even in real life?

Even in the game, you can handle the sword so skillfully that you might be quite a famous swordsman in real life.

"How's Mikage doing lately? You do a lot of research on skills, don't you?

I sat on the beam and shouted to the lizard that was eating the bun.

He is challenging not only the Ninjutsu skill, but also the new skill of unspecified civilization that was implemented after the second event.

However, except for the newly implemented "training", the so-called “three magic” skills of "sorcery" and "psychic" are still a lot of unclear parts, and it was uncertain how to operate them.

"... skills cartridges aren't sold in the shop, so you won't be able to learn until you demonstrate the technique."

While sitting on the beam, the lizard opens its mouth over the mask.

"There's a thread called" The Gathering of Wizards, "and it's hard to talk about it there."

"You haven't found a single technique yet?

Mix surprises and raise your eyebrows.

It's been a while since the end of the second event, but are the three techniques quite difficult to understand?

"I've found a Level 1 technique.... it's called" sending grudges "."

It's time for Mikage to come down and show me a window with details of the technique.

Normal Skill Level 1 technique is mostly about showing the approximate direction of the skill.

"What?" Send resentment ", sends a strong will to the damned opponent.... hmm"

"I don't know anything."

As Mikage said, I can't grasp anything specific from the description of the technique.

What happens when you send a strong will to a damn opponent?

If the other person dies, our development work will be much easier...

"If I go to the central control area information resource management vault, will there be documents?"

If you're looking for clues to these mysterious beings, that's where you'll come up with them.

A large library-like building in an area with a control tower.

A facility, information resource management vault where all the various information related to research and development activities and the Izanami Project itself are stored and protected from all obstacles.

"Those materials need a high level of deciphering skills, don't they?

The toca put the hot water on the table.

Indeed, any data contained in the Information Resource Management Vault has been replaced by a language in its own format for convenience.

For this reason, I had a high level of decoding skills, but in the first place I had the problem that the decoding skills themselves were too niche and there were few holders.

"Well, I'm fine. I have some. Why don't we just go and have a look?

"... okay."

"Then I'll come with you!

Waving at the anxious tokas, he went outside the White Deer House.

In the meantime, I decided to hit Wade's vault and set out all the way to the center of town.

"I think I've figured it out, and the other players who are studying tertiary skills have also figured out the information resource management vault....."

As you walk, you say that there is only one neck on your mouth.

One month has passed since the three surgical skills were implemented, and there is no reason why the skilled verification teams have not asked the information resource management vault for those descriptions.

"You don't have that information in the vault?

"I'm saving up to the uniform dimensions of New Heaven and Earth. Though from an unspecified civilization, I don't think we have any information on the skills that players can raise their skill levels."

I shook my head at Mikage's words.

That's where we collect all the Mori Ra events that are involved in exploration.

If no information has yet been found, perhaps the reason is -

"This huge number must be the problem."

The huge iron door slides slightly open.

Lighted by dim lighting are high ceilings and huge bookshelves lined up neatly there.

Tightly housed in the shelf is a high-durability data cartridge that contains hundreds of physical books in one piece.

"This is.... It's true that finding certain information among them is likely to break your bones."

Toca faces in a space wide enough to soak in the sun.

Surrounded by sturdy bookshelves with solid ladders, there are neglected but skilled players.

They output data in the cartridge to virtual windows, monitors, etc., and continue to silently translate and record with their own tools.

"I hear that there are translators here and in Susano's vault who have never been outside. That alone won't be able to decode all the information, because more cartridges are brought in every day."

"It's kind of a hell of a space."

No matter how much you decipher it, it will not end; rather, it will fall more than your achievements over time.

I see. It certainly looks like hell.

Well, there's a certain number of strange people who like this kind of work.

In fact, a large amount of information is available on the official wiki's translated information material page.

It's all the work of translators who keep working in the vault.

"By the way, Toka, Mikage. Have you seen this vault?

Turn around and ask the two of you.

For a moment they were surprised. They looked over the vault and tilted their necks.

Um, there's a lot of bookshelves.

"... and the cartridge."

Well, that's true.

I dropped my shoulders when I came to answer both of them.

If there is nothing to store in the vault, the vault is meaningless.

I guess so.... the cartridges here aren't actually classified. Even in one cartridge, there is a menu table of some restaurant with information about the boss, or next to a cartridge with terrain data, there is a cartridge with important confidentiality that we don't even have access to. "

"Rather than random, is the information randomly packed?

I see. Depending on the nature of the information, it seems to be arranged by the date and time it was collected. Well, there's no regularity because the time series is cartridge-by-cart. "

"... is the reference too bad?

Nod at Mikage's words.

"Oh, we can't find the information we're looking for from the huge cartridge here because we don't know where it is at all."

The clutter is like packing from what can be packed, without separating the public and private, without classifying the importance.

This may also be a kind of security, but it is difficult to operate information even if it is well stored.

Storage should be an important requirement, not just for storage, but for quick access to what you need when you need it.

"... I don't have a search engine."

"Oh, that's right."

The vault is well packed with shelves and countless cartridges.

It's a facility with the same functionality as a library, but I don't see any tools with the kind of library search tools there.

"Well, where is the search engine? Who accesses and operates this information and where does it come from?"

That said, it looks like the lizard is pinning.

Leave your confused sister outside the vault.

"Let's go up the control tower!

If this Wade's best mind, the arithmetic system that controls the town's center, is the Kusanagi, there will be a way to access the vast amount of information that has been piled up in this rubbish.

Then maybe we can get there and find out how to gather information and find sand in the desert.

With that in mind, we rushed into the control tower next to the vault.
