Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 639: "How's Progress"

Kamil, order. One bowl of baby bowl, two bowls of deluxe cutlet, and three smiles.

The last one is out of stock.

When I read the order to the kitchen, I get a sloppy response. I would have liked to order my share if I had stock, but it doesn't seem like I'd hate it.

Unfortunately, I grabbed the food that was on the counter and carried it to the main hall.

There are a number of tables in the great hall, and giant spinning cars are arranged by the wall.

This was the outpost at the back of Oshima Island.

The Knights began a full-scale operation of the base, and various facilities were arranged around the building I built. The building has a large hall on the first floor that serves as a lounge, a cafeteria, and a power station; a private room on the second floor that serves as a paid lounge; and a conference room on the third floor that serves as an office for operations meetings and senior executives.

How about this? This is the Deluxe Galaxy Tire Ki Matcha White Tea Ball Anmitsu Parfait.

"Wow, thank you."

Take the big parfait like a pile to the table where you ordered it. The girl with the familiar red ears received it.

Are the Letties back?

"It's lunchtime." Thanks to Mikage, I was able to make a pretty good map. "

"That's good."

I took advantage of this camp as a base and brought in Kamil and T-1. As a result, the hall has been renovated to serve as a cafeteria.

Meanwhile, Letty and the other six members of the [Shiraku-an] were throwing a party to focus on the map-making activities in the deep end.

Three days had already passed in real time since the Knights' massive offensive began.

In the meantime, many players continued to struggle together while logging out, recording the position of countless laylines flowing into the depths. In the process, we also accumulated know-how, and now even one person in a party can see the rayline, which is enough to be able to work.

How far did the in-depth investigation go?

"The outer periphery can now be turned around." It turns out that the safe way to move between the Dragon Vein (Ray Line) and the installation of EP in all directions is quite large. ”

While I was working in the cafeteria with Kamil and the others for the last three days, the offensive was progressing steadily.

In addition to the area where our outposts came in and where the walls and trees were opened - now called Entry (E) Point (P) 1 - three other points of entry and exit were opened. At that time, there were struggles from the [Kiba Palm Troupe] and the Knights' Iron Cavalry, but unfortunately I couldn't see them.

Then, the method of escaping from the loop by the unrelenting efforts of the verification team - that is, moving from one dragon vein (Rayline) to another was also established.

It's a little tedious to have to fight every time I move.

Really? It's fun to be slashed a lot.

The way to move between the dragon veins was as simple as opening the lid.

When we went back and forth between EP1 and this encampment, there was always a point where we encountered the iron-armed gorillas. The location, called Knot Point, overlaps with other dragon veins and can be moved without looping.

In other words, when powerful native creatures emerge from the forest, they can move from that location to another Dragon Vein.

With the addition of EP and the discovery of KP, strategic activities have accelerated.

But it's pretty hard to go back.

Amy blurs as Letty scrapes the parfait she's eating from her blind spot.

"What's the trouble?"

"The deeper I go, the finer and more complicated the Dragon Vein becomes." If you go a little off the road, it will loop, and there will be a lot of KPs, but there will probably be a lot of battles. "

I see. That's a hassle.

Most of the flow of the Dragon Vein (Rayline) is towards the center of the depths. Even so, the deeper I went, the more intricately my Dragon Vein became intertwined.

The more complicated the Dragon Vein becomes, the more difficult the invisible maze becomes, and the more likely it is to be returned to its original location just by walking a little. In addition, intertwining means more KP, and many forced fights occur.

You found a lot of new species of protozoa.

"The deeper you go, the more you get." Such as "red horn gorilla", "green foot gorilla", "green blood gorilla", "yellow tooth gorilla", etc. All of them were worth the slashing in the first place, but now they're just troublesome. ”

"It's like a lineup of battalions..."

Toka sharpens her lips boringly. It seemed like her bar had gotten a lot sharper recently, but let's put that aside.

The protozoa that appear when entering KP and Knot Point are equal to or stronger than the iron arm gorillas. However, the researchers (players) are almost immortal.

Keep trying, gather information, analyze, and win until you win. The tactics are immediately shared and the odds of winning are reversed. From the other side, I don't think there's anyone so troublesome.

"So is the emergence of new species, but the number has simply increased." Anyway, on the way back, there were nearly 10 more of them. ”

Letty continues grilling the sea bream on the parfait.

"It seems like you don't want to let Letty and the others out. Not at all."

Even in the KP on the route from EP1 to this outpost, there are only four iron-armed gorillas on the way, and one iron-armed gorilla and five black-armed gorillas on the way home, which increases the overall threat level.

After three days of validation, it turns out that more and more protozoa emerge as they move away from the depths, that is, as they move outward into the KP.

The reasons for this are not yet well understood.

Although Letty's theory of preventing escape is widely supported, the theory of dragon vein reflux loading is also proposed.

"Anyway, I feel like I'm aiming for the center while making a map for a while." I'm already having a hard time..... "

"Chiffon is also doing well." I wish I was more confident.

Chiffon takes a bream grill from Letty's parfait with a fake face. It's a gloomy vibe, as if it was dazzling from head to toe.

Amy frowns as if she can't help it.

Chiffon is already strong enough to compete with other players, but she doesn't seem to be aware of it because of her shallow play history.

Chiffon should also be as positive as T-1.

T-1?

Suddenly the name T-1 came out of Toka's mouth and, surprised, she pointed to another table.

"What are you doing!? Are you going to give me that nigga as a concubine?"

"Fine, fine. I'm eating more and more."

"Thank you!" You guys are good investigators! "

As you can see, T-1, who was carrying the food to the table, was getting Inari sushi from a customer there. Or rather, they were being fed.

"What the hell is he doing..."

"Isn't it okay?" Both of them seem like fun. "

Players around the table smiled as they watched T-1 waxing with Inari sushi. It certainly doesn't seem to be a loss to both sides, but do you know that T-1 is always at work?

I was thinking about that.

Hey Ledge, where are you selling oil?! If you don't hurry, the food will get cold!

"Ughhh!?"

Strong impact on the hips from behind.

Looking back as he fell to the floor, Kamil, who had an aura of rage, stood up to the king.

If you don't come back in time, you won't be able to carry the food you ordered at all.

"Um, sorry, I was just talking to you."

Hell, do you know I'm at work?

Kamil returned to the kitchen angrily. As I lowered my head flat and followed, I heard Lettie and the others giggling behind me.

In the meantime, bring me one parent-child bowl and two deluxe cutlet bowls. Also, pull down the T-1. I'll be right back.

No, no, no.

Kamil, who is chopping up the kitchen by himself, can't get his head up. Obedient to her instructions, I quickly returned to the Great Hall with a plate.

"Thank you for your patience." Isn't that an ai? "

When they brought the food to the designated table, Ai, the person in charge of the base, and unfamiliar men and women sat there.

“Thank you, Mr. Ledge.”

"Parent-child bowl, this way!" The cutlet bowl is over there. I don't have any smiles, do I? "

"Unfortunately, the smile is out of stock." The arrival is still to be determined. "

With that said, the girl with the dog-shaped lycanthrope with a stern voice unfortunately lowered her triangular ears. Place the parent-child bowl in front of her and offer two deluxe cutlet bowls to the golem man who sits next to her.

“Thank you. I wanted to try Ledge's food once.”

"I didn't make it, it was Kamil..." Maybe it's the first time we've met, right? "

The golem man affirms when he asks with his neck tilted.

I'll introduce you. This is Mapper Shingo. She is Isami-san. The two of you are working together. "

I see. Nice to meet you, Ledge.

Recently, it has become more common for them to know me one way or the other. Nevertheless, the first greeting will be crucial.

So, how does it relate to Ai?

The other day, you two discovered something in the [Wadazumi Deep Cave].

I wondered what the three of them were doing and asked. Aye was the one who answered.

She lowers her voice a little and starts talking with the window wide open.

That is a very interesting and interesting story. Unknowingly listening, I completely forgot the time, and I was obsessed with the story of Ai until I was blown away by Kamil, who had lost his patience.
