……

"Nah, wow. What's wrong with you today? I've been bawling all morning."

The sight burned in my eyes last night and I can't leave.

When I get distracted, I play that scene over and over again in my head.

Mr. Serene's lips, you were soft......

"I haven't heard back! Whoa, whoa. I'm starving. I don't know."

"! Oh, my God, Hidehei. What's the matter with you?

"What's wrong, it's not. It's lunch, lunch. Let's go eat."

"Oh, oh."

Was it noon already?

I almost didn't get the content of the class in my head......

When I realize it, there are few people in the class who are idle.

My school is more of a minority of humans eating in the classroom, so I guess my classmates are after they've already left for lunch.

When I take two lunches out of my bag, I go down to the courtyard with Hidehira.

"Ooh, ooh. Where's my lunch box?

"Ooh. There you go."

Pass your lunch to Unblessed, who was arriving first.

Classes are different, so which comes first depends on the day.

You're alone today...... sometimes more women stick around unblessed, then it becomes a busier lunch than usual.

Unblessed, he sits on a bench surrounding the tree of Kakiyaki and opens his lunch box himself.

- Hmm?

"That... forgot to add chopsticks"

"Yeah? What are you doing, wow. Really, what's going on today? Rarely did you text me?"

"From Rishi to you? What?"

"He's been acting weird since last night, so he wants you to follow him."

"Really...?

- Why don't you hold on, we need to hold on.

There must be no obstacle to the study of science.

I'm going to corner school, and I'm not going to let you get extra distracted.

But I was going to put the chopsticks in properly, too.

Hidehira also brought lunches today, and apparently hasn't damaged her mother's mood these days.

Speaking of which, I stumbled upon Hidehei's mother while shopping at the supermarket the other day.

They thanked me for making my life more regular since I started playing games with them, but I remember having a little trouble figuring out how to react.

Tell you what, we're just playing together...

Uh, more chopsticks than that... in this case, learning to eat?

If you ask your aunt, she'll lend it to you.

Put your lunch box on the bench and stand up.

"I'm sorry, I'll borrow it for a learning meal, so just eat it first. Were you okay with the unblessed?

"They're in here."

"Right. Well, I'm just gonna go."

Walk leisurely through the courtyard where the sun falls.

Ha, it's warm today.

"Forget about yourself, or in a way a nasty failure... Unblessed, it's a corner, so why don't you feed him with that chopstick?

"Nah!?

On the verge of leaving the courtyard, I heard Hidehei screaming with a thoughtful slap on my back.

Because I say extra things......

Somewhat hassled involved someone I knew in the dining room, but I was able to borrow chopsticks safely.

Back in the courtyard, Unyu and Hidehei still seemed to wait for me without a hand on their lunches.

Say thank you and sit back and spread your lunch again.

"Yeah, sort of."

"Uh-oh!

"Unblessed, let it go!! Meshi, be quiet!

"No, Hidehira is loud enough too..."

Even if it's blurry, I'm still hungry.

I finished my lunch and when I felt comfortable, I also felt calm.

You did a good job of spring rolls today.

The skin fried crispy and delicious combined with the aroma of sesame oil.

The filling tromi was right on target, and the texture of the vegetables felt good.

One of the two has been robbed by Hidehei...

Be careful, by the way, when the contents of the lunch box try to take away from the blessings we have together, they are relentlessly bogged down.

I'm not even talking about taking it from me.

Return the chopsticks to the dining room, and after you finish your lunch, it's routine chat time.

If Unyu brings other girls, the topic will be more in school.

But in the case of these three, the most recent topic is definitely TB-related.

Although it is mainly Hidehei who brings stories.

"Speaking of which, I was officially informed of the next update."

"Apde? Do you even do it at some kind of event?

Unblessed responds as she tilts the can juice.

I poured warm green tea from a water bottle into a lid cup next to it.

"Yeah. Next time it's a PvP tournament. The details are still on the ground."

"Heh. But some people never do PvP, do they? I like or dislike interpersonal fights, but they break up."

Apart from PK, I think there are quite a few people who have opted out of signing up for a duel from the start.

Depending on the gameplay, do you also often think that people who do PvP are more of a minority, depending on the title?

"For people like that, once the tournament has progressed to a certain extent, there will be a bet to anticipate the winner. Of course, in the in-game currency, the odds will increase or decrease the dividends when you win."

"I see. That's how you stir up the willingness of non-participants to watch the game!

"But fluctuations in wagering rates don't mean bookmakers. If a PvP adventurous profession wins, don't get rough."

"I guess."

This kind of betting method, I checked on the smartphone, said, is the Parimutuel method. I think I'll bite your tongue.

The dividend goes down when anticipation is concentrated, so if you hit the big hole aim... don't swell your dreams.

Well, I hope this is still a story ahead of us.

We don't even have a base yet, so that's not the case.

"What about players' progress in areas other than the Grad Empire?

"It feels good except in the desert. Looks like we reached every region, about the third city, and each hit the capital. That went a long way this past Saturday and Sunday. And the name of the country."

According to Hidehei, the names of the three countries found are as follows:

North, Mountain Country - Union of Beli.

East, Forest Country - Kingdom of Lust.

South, Sea and Island Country · Republic of Mar.

The west is unknown, and the center is with the Grad Empire.

"So even at that speed, is it a frontline stop in the west? We."

"We just don't have a lot of competition!

I say it happily, really.

But we do have a lot of fun finding out on our own feet.

I wonder what's going on, ahead of that wilderness...

"And they also hit the prediction of the example, and the bandits seem to gradually decrease in number when the players are actively caught. Looks like the players who went outside the Empire early are destined to be surrounded from the beginning..."

"Do players need to be focused and policed? Is it a measure to increase player influence rather than NPC incompetence...?

Or are you simply expressing the difference in national power from the Empire?

But there were bandits in the empire, too.

Or is that just a special case for quests...? I don't know.

"You can make money, and don't you have to think hard? but not so much."

"Right. You can't catch too many, and it's like yesterday..."

The three of us recall, and behave with a similar face.

When you can come with all that number, the rewards are not commensurate with the hardship on top of the difficulty of coping.

The healing items I've prepared have been reduced... and I need to refill them again.

Even if you only capture the leader, like yesterday, you'll just replace him with another guy anyway.

Not having more players on the west side would be a problem that can't be helped.

"One last thing. In some parts of the city, there was information that they were selling vehicles. Lova is cheap, but horses are expensive, not an easy amount to buy."

"Heh. But you can't dare want something because it's good in Lova... it'll definitely be faster than walking"

"When it comes to desert, isn't it a camel more than a horse?

"Uh, maybe there is, a camel. Tonight, when I log in, you want to find me?

"Right. If I can get it, I think I'll be able to explore it."

"All right, then it's from looking for a ride tonight!

Immediately after Uneu forcefully proclaims, the prebell rings.

When we cleared the scene, we went back to the classroom like any other student while we continued our chat.
