VRMMO no Shien Shokunin ～Top Player no Shikakenin～

……

But looking back, there was no one there.

After all, I thought Mr. Vail was here...

I'll ask Liquorice, who stands left and right, just in case.

"Was there anyone behind me right now?

"Huh? I don't think anyone..."

Same on the right.

"I didn't notice anything in particular either...... what's wrong? Senior Hynd."

"... uh, yeah. That's fine."

Sure, I thought someone touched my shoulder.

Even with suspicion, I return to the rules of the vegetables in my hand.

"... seniors? There's something on your back.

"Huh? Back? Not shoulders?

To Siesta's words, put the vegetables back on the merchandise shelf and explore your back.

... where?

"Senior Hynd, it hasn't arrived!

"... it's that way in the middle? Around here?"

"It's a little further down, down! Not from the top, but from the bottom - like this, turn your hands from the waist!

"Like this?"

Follow Liquorice's words and move your hands.

I shouldn't be particularly hard... where is this!?

"Wow, shall I take it?

"Yes, no, Signeria. If you get here on your own......!

"Seniors, are you not being mean?

"You can see that, can't you? It is! - Hey, I got it!

When I put it in my hand, it was like a smaller bi-fold note than I imagined.

Sounds like a prank the little one would do... though it didn't say anything bad inside.

"Senior, what did it say? Is that from an example informer?

"Yeah, maybe. The contents are, uh... in the alley on Weapon Store Avenue, Apple Pie..."

"... that's all?

"That's all."

I'm pretty sure it was Mr. Vail's fault.

Is the alley on Weapon Shop Street the rendezvous point?

Not sure about this apple pie......

"If you're going to receive it honestly, I can read you to come up to the alley with an apple pie,"

The stock of apple pie...... if you want something special, not something normal that we've all eaten up, a little though.

So even if you specify this as an amount of information, it's okay for once.

Do you want to go straight to the alley?

"Or - you had an apple pie party, didn't you? I already know, even if it doesn't look like an exaggeration of the power of a targeted informer stream...?

And this is a statement by Siesta.

"Uh, what do you think?

"It depends on the character of the informant..."

"Go and you'll see! Let's go!

Buy some vegetables securely on the spot before going to the place designated by the three of us.

On the road, let's talk about the note earlier.

"Still, how did you put a note on Senior Hynd's back?

"That's exactly what seniors noticed, wasn't it? I can't seem to find anything murderous."

"Yeah, well, could they have done something? You felt about it. But strangely, you only felt touched on your shoulder..."

I pasted it directly, there are a lot of strange things about it...

No way, do you even have the means to fly notes remotely?

Or that kind of item?

"I really wanted to call you in a smarter way. See, try the messenger..."

"You're the one who makes the little one hold the money!?

"Yes, yes. I wonder why the highs are familiar with most of the locals in the commercial district... even to children? That's crazy! You can't use a messenger!!

"Among the Wang capital, the commercial district is especially like a seniors' garden."

"Oh, I knew it? Then the information I'm getting about that and this is roughly the truth. I'm afraid not."

"Information......? - Ah."

"Yo, hi!

Something tells me there are four more girls...?

A girl who looks older than the three Hina birds, with three braids draped forward.

It's a little more in front of me here than in the alley......

Couldn't you wait, pushing our backs more and more from the boulevard to the alley?

Whatever you push with your hand, I want you to stop hitting me.

"No, the highs are sensitive to changing circumstances, so I had a hard time putting notes on my back!

"Huh? Did you put it directly on my back yourself...?

"Yeah, but?

"What is it, that wasted effort? And don't change your tone. I'm confused because I'm talking to you."

You can speak directly if you were nearby...

And I'm not sure, but the fact that she posted a note without any notice to the four of us is a tremendous skill in itself.

No sign, no attention, I'm sure you're using this to get your own information.

To Tobi. - That's enough.

It's all kinds of weird to bring out his covert technique, which is only "self-proclaimed ninja" in the first place, every time something like this happens...

And I hear Mr. Vail is unhappy about what I rated futile.

"It's not for nothing, it's not for nothing! I don't know. It's more like an informer if you need troublesome steps to meet him, isn't it?

"That's what happened in the first place too...... I was doing fortune-telling girls on purpose -"

"I understand!

Suddenly, Liquorice, who tided her cheeks, broke into the conversation.

Mr. Vail smiles at the words and turns firmly to Liquorice.

"You see, Rico!

"I understand! You can't call me if you don't know a weird cipher, or you need to trace it from about the intermediary of an intermediary! And I get it, it's shocking and important, but now there's one indeterminate piece of information!... Sounds like it!?

"You know, Rico!

"It can be a sighting of a fellow being with an enemy or something for some reason! It's an iron plate, right?!?

"Super understanding! Probably because they're taking hostages or something, there's a lot of patterns of forced cooperation though!

"Shaking trust, still the protagonist......!

"I believe him, ooh! Ha-ha-ha!

"I'll be paralyzed. Hey!

"Loudness......"

Siesta spills her stupidity with a laid back look on two voices sounding fine in the alley.

What's the point of making it so noisy and avoiding people and coming in the alley? This.

But I could understand why Mr. Vail went out of his way to go through a lot of trouble.

I could understand...

"... for that matter, this time it seems a bit cluttered in a performative sense. Because it's not the first time...?

"Shirlarp! Hi!

Siesta and Sineria were surprised at how Mr. Vail was doing at first......

This step leads to "Oh, this is the type..." and each spills a yawn and a bitter laugh.

... On the surface, yeah? I think it's too soon to make a decision.

"Ma, anyway. High-high, rico, siesier, rhinoceros together to guide you to Ajito -"

"Siesier......"

"Sai sai...?

"Do you have one!? Ajito!"

"A Yikes. This time I put it in the back of this alley."

"This time!? Is it mobile!? Nice!"

I'm letting Liquorice handle the conversation, and the other three, including me, follow.

From there, follow a complicated path and arrive in one of the rooms of a building.

As for the inside of Azito, discount because it is similar to the one we had when we visited Tobi and the commercial city.

Ask them if they have any interesting information about selecting fields for the last day of the event.

Then Mr. Vail will have the face that your statement is more interesting. Rude.

"Funny, hey... pretty much depends on how funny it is!

"Simply, why don't you ask Shea about the easier fields to earn?

"Oh, about the Siesier versus Alauda, right? I recently belonged to a garden."

……

I wonder how you found out? That information.

I think it's just us, the parties and their associates, and the players who happen to be together on the field, who have a good idea.

Our fears, Mr. Vail, continue the conversation.

"But it is. All this time, I can't tell you how broad the scope is... and all I have to offer is pure“ information ”. I'm not sure I can teach you how to attack an event."

Three Hina birds are surprised by the look on Mr. Vail's face, which has been surprisingly sharp.

There are places like this, so it's dangerous to judge them on the outside...

Now, based on that, how can I draw useful information from Mr. Vail?

As you gently organize your memory of this entire event, first explore it.

"... after all, who are the locals who are likely to appear per field...?

"Whoa? What about that heart?

Slightly, I think only slightly Mr. Vail deepened his grin.

Not with the trigger or anything... no.

I have a response, so let's keep it that way.

"Because there are rumors that the strength and difficulty of the defeated locals will change the content of Fever Time afterwards. Assuming that's true, if there is an intrusive NPC that only leaves on the last day..."

"After a successful defeat, he said he had great Fever time. That's what the highs thought, isn't it?

"That's right. What do you think?

Having heard my words like that, Mr. Vail stands up with his own legs slapped in a sitting position.

When I took the world map from the shelf, I spread it all over the table between us.

Then he reached the table with his hands, and declared them with a glance.

"All right, all right, I got it. Hi! Today's topic depends on which field the rare intrusive NPC“ hey ”comes from!!

Liz wouldn't put a scratch in this "smell" usage either... and so on, in front of me thinking crap.

Mr. Vail began to mark the map with a pen in his hand.

While adding to the knowledge and rumours that we already have, Mr. Vail will name one candidate after another.
