Free Life Fantasy Online-Chapter 76: The Third Official Event Begins
Chapter 76 – The Third Official Event Begins
Hmm? I received an email from the management……
Dear Princess.
Hello, this is the FLFO official event team.
This mail is being sent only to certain applicable players.
We are sending you a confirmation mail to ask for your permission to use your “mini character” in the special field of the third official event.
These mini characters are decided based on a fame ranking. Therefore, it is not limited only to the top players.
The mini character is driven by AI, which reads the log of the player’s speech and behaviour. Please be aware that there will be some differences in behaviour.
During the event, there will be a “Catch the Mini-Chara” spontaneous event for everyone. In this event, we plan to give a “figure (furniture)” and a “plushie (furniture)” of the Mini-chara to every team that catches it.
Therefore, we would like to ask you to answer “permission to use the minichara”, “permission to distribute the figure (furniture)” and “permission to distribute the plushie (furniture)”. Please answer the following questions.
Of course, the figure and plushy will be distributed to you in advance. You can find them attached to this mail, so please judge them for yourself by looking at the actual item. A sample video of the mini character should also be included.
As much as possible, please keep this a secret from other players. This is intended to be a surprise event. However, we do apologise for having to spoil it for you.
By the way, everyone sent this mail will be provided a special seat to watch the “Catch the Mini-Chara” event, so please reply to this mail to confirm that you would like to.
When checking the attached items before the event starts, please make sure that they materialise on a closed map.
For example: Your private house. A small room in a production facility. A room rented in an inn.
Example answers
Permission to use mini characters: Yes / No
Permission to distribute figures: Yes / No
Permission to distribute plush toys: Yes / No
Catching event: Participating / Watching
Or: Allow all / Refuse all.
Thank you for your cooperation.
P.S: This mail has also been sent to your sister, the player “Akirina”.
….Hmm, that means there should be no problem talking to my sister about it.
Cecil-san and my sister, the winner and runner-up of the fighting tournament, of course, as well as the famous guild masters Kotatsu-san, Musasabi-san and Ruzebarm-san. Then there’s Ertz-san’s group of crafters.
I expect people like Mohican-san too. The depth of character is important in ‘name recognition’. In that sense, people like that are strong.
Then there are the people who give information on the board…..I assume some of them are named, so there may be a possibility of Shirabesuki-san. However, it seems that the opinions of Residents are also counted, so in that sense, it’s not so clear. From the Residents’ point of view, the verification team may be famous in a bad way. In the sense of “What are they doing?”. They seem like dangerous people when viewed from the side.
Anyway, let’s check out the video and such.
『Good day, me. Hello, me.』
Oh…. Is the voice adjusted to be a little higher because of the size of her body? Yeah, it’s cute. I can’t comment too much since it is based on me, but I think the chibi mini characters are cute.
The figures and plushies are based on the mini character, which in turn is based on me, so the deformation is even more noticeable.
Hmmm….. well, that’s good. I’ll reply that all is okay. And that I will watch the event.
Okay, let’s act as planned.
I call King Woofwoof, and ask him to teach me the «Ancient Divine Linguistics» for an hour at a time, and then use the rest of the limited time to mine the ore vein and make some attribute metals.
With that the weekdays are gone.
So, it’s Saturday, the day of the official event.
I don’t log in after waking up, but instead have breakfast and so on, beforehand. Actually, I don’t have much time to spare. I should be able to reach my goal in the morning. The event starts at 13:00, so I’ll have lunch once I finish raising the skill, then wait until it begins.
Today’s lunch will be instant.
<«Ancient Divine Linguistics» has reached its growth limit.>
<You have fulfilled specific requirements and acquire “Title: Ancient Linguist”.>
“Hmm, that’s about it.”
“Yes, thank you.”
It’s slightly ahead of schedule…..but only by a few minutes, so it’s within the margin of error.
“That’s it for the language. You should work hard to improve your level.”
“I’ll be working hard on today’s event, for the time being.”
“Looks like the Outsiders are up to something. Do your best. I’ll be back.”
“Okay.”
I see King Woofwoof off, then log out as planned to eat lunch.
The special event field is already open, but I’m not moving yet. I have something to do in the palace.
That’s right…..I’m finally going to decipher the Book of Eibon. Oh, the game has taken control. This is an event.
<Starting to decipher the Book of Eibon, an ancient grimoire…>
<Magic power drifting in the atmosphere….You will be given a more efficient way to handle mana.>
<«One Who Peeks into the Abyss of Sorcery» has been replaced with «Extreme Magic».>
<“Title: Owner of the Book of Eibon” has been replaced by “Title: Complete Decipherer of the Book of Eibon”.>
<The abilities of the Book of Eibon, the ancient grimoire, have been released.>
The pages of the open Book of Eibon floated apart, circled around me, then returned to the book, before it closed.
I think the performance is over because I have regained control of my body. The important part is the data, so I will check the title, skills and equipment.
The Book of Eibon….has all the bonuses maxed out. There are still restrictions though.
Ancient Linguist
A commemorative title given to those who know a language that was long forgotten.
Complete Decipherer of the Book of Eibon
Completely deciphered the ancient grimoire. The Book of Eibon shows its true power.
«Extreme Magic»
The decipherer of a grimoire of great antiquity containing forbidden knowledge.
You know the depths of more primitive magic, and how to use sorcery efficiently.
Grants an extreme bonus to the maximum MP and MP recovery speed.
All spells are judged by intelligence and spirit.
The equipment and the title are good, but I don’t know about the skill. It’s too early to tell if that is helpful or not. What’s the formula? Tell me what percentage of intelligence and spirit you add.
The description’s in this game are not much better than flavour text! I don’t want to be so carefree about it.
Anyway, let’s go to the training ground where Lana is. I don’t know the distance, but there is a target.
“Oh? Good day, Sire.”
“Good day, Lana. I’ll borrow your target for a moment.”
“Then please use that one.”
I take my place in front of the target shown to me by Lana.
Now, for the magic….. I have to learn this, don’t I? Should I make a note and keep it at the edge of my vision?
“[Mea Persepho Arte]”
I see. This activates [Dark Arrow].
Now, it’s time to test until the event begins. I have to remember the spells I am likely to use.
The effects are slightly different. The magic is a bit more beautiful or luxurious?
At any rate, «Extreme Magic» is less powerful for normal use. Damn it, management. I’m pretty sure the effect of spirit is greater. I have more intelligence than spirit, so it makes me weaker. The increase in max MP and recovery speed is very nice, but the decrease in power is very annoying.
This is if I use ‘normal’ magic. The most important feature of «Extreme Magic» is that it allows you to use sorcery.
I will ask a nearby mage about sorcery.
Roughly speaking, he said, “Rather than using magic with only your own magic power, there’s a lot of magic power around, so why don’t you get energy from that?”.
It’s easy to say, but when it comes to actually doing it, calling on external energy is quite problematic. It’s tough for humankind.
It can be said to be an advanced technique of [Meditation], which gathers mana from the surroundings to promote the recovery of magic power.
In game terms, it consumes less MP and increases the power. The disadvantage is that the activation key is fixed to the ancient divine language, so you have to learn it. There may be a no-chant style of casting, which will remove the need for it, somewhere.
As a result, whether I cast magic without it enabled, or use «Extreme Magic», it seems to be about equal. From this, I think that the spirit judgement is much larger than the intellect one. It’s also possible that the boost from it is less than I expected.
Hmmm….. The Book of Eibon is an artifact of the Cthulhu mythos. In the Cthulhu mythos TRPGs, magic is cast with spirit rather intelligence.
Oh well. I think I should make the next accessories more spirit oriented.
Now, it’s time to go to the special event field.
The problem is that the range of «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» is still slightly lacking, but there will be a lot of people at the special field, so I’ll raise it while waiting.
From the mini statue at the palace, I teleport to the event field.
Oh, there are so many people here! The biggest enemy of MMOs is depopulation, so it’s good that there are so many people. It looks like my skill improvement will progress well.
The special field is….a big schoolyard? Well, it’s a sports festival, so it’s not too unusual.
“It’s about to start, so I’ll say it again! Please check the details of the competition in the UI, or listen to the explanation before it starts!”
“When it’s time for the competition, you can go directly to the event site using the UI, or follow the mini-map to get there.”
These voices are Yatsuzuka-san and Mitake-san. They are the usual GMs. Are they in charge of the event?
“Hey, Princess. You’re late this time, aren’t you?”
“Good day, Cecil-san. I had some things to do before the event.”
“Some final preparations? Which competitions are you joining, Princess?
“I’m going to do the two lottery types, soul collection and frifo.”
“I see.”
“『Seriously? I can’t change it now!』”
“So you’re finally going to take part in PvP?”
“Yes. The others are all about agility, and I think frifo is the one I can do best in.”
“『Don’t hit Princess. Don’t hit Princess.』”
“The three survivors get to move on. I shouldn’t have to fight Princess….”
“I’m going to be evolving soon, so I’m going to do the best I can this time, so please give me your best.”
“Oh, sure. Though I’ll hope we don’t need to fight.”
“『Gah!』”
What’s going on with the surroundings?
It looks like the event will start soon.
“It’s time for the third official event! Let’s sort the teams!”
“Did you get your colours? The same colour means the same team, so please be careful during the competition.”
It is RGB. Three teams, red, green and blue. I wonder if there are tens of thousands of people in one team.
I’m in red.
“Oh? The same team as Princess. I thought we’d be separated, but I guess that’s how it is when there are three teams.”
“Cecil-san, are you going solo this time?”
“Yes, I’m going solo this time. I’ll be doing hunting, volleyball, frifo and conquest.”
“Hunting and frifo seem quite similar. Though I don’t know if they are on the same battlefield.”
“Well, I’m going to be aiming for first place, so it won’t be much different.”
“That’s true.”
While I was talking with Cecil-san, he was called by the management.
“Like a princess as always, I see. Cecil, Knight Commander of the Dawn! Come swear the oath!”
“What? I didn’t hear about that…”
“I just said it!”
“This is….. Show me the template.”
“Wait a minute……..that’s the one.”
“Hmm ……”
The template for the oath has been displayed in the air. It’s like the campaign one.
Let me give you a little advice, Cecil-san.
“Cecil-san.”
“Hmm?”
“Around here, you should swear to Sigrdrifa. She’s the god of fire and wind, of war and victory.”
“I see, that’s good.”
“Hey, come on!”
Cecil chuckled and walked over to the table and microphone that had appeared.
“Hmm, shall we get started? You’re recording this, aren’t you?”
“Yes!”
“『We pledge! That we adventurers! Throw away sportsmanship! We will kill each other by the rules of the game! I swear by Sigrdrifa, God of War and Victory!』”
“It’s a bit of a mess, but okay!”
“The third official event, the Fantasy Sports Day, has begun!”
“『Hyaha~!』”
“We’re starting right away, so move to the venue!”
“『Ooh!』”
It seems that you can watch your favourite events from the UI. You can also pass the time by browsing the stalls set up by the production teams. The first event looks to be target shooting.
Ah, I will be working hard to raise the level of «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion» until the radius exceeds 100 metres.
The skill rose quickly and I can now see 100 metres. I’ve reached the minimum level, but I’ll continue to raise it while watching the games.
Oh, they’re playing Magical Volleyball.
So, if you hit the ball with magic, the effect is added to it. And then you spike it.
You have to adjust the angle of your weapon and shield to catch the ball, and also fight on the ground. ….It’s pretty busy, isn’t it?
Spikers are melee attackers. The tank is the blocker, and the sub-tank is the one who receives the spikes. I see…..
The basic idea seems to be that the sub-tank raises the ball, the caster hits it with a spell, and the melee attacker uses an art to send it back…….
The tank also needs to block the spikes and prevent direct attacks from the enemy.
It’s a very violent volleyball. This is terrifying.
Of course, spikes are aimed at casters and the like…… Ah, the wizard’s blown away! Wow, he spun around and hit the ground with the back of his head. …… Amen……
Oh, Mead-san is playing volleyball on the other court. With a bow……?
Mead-san steps back to the very edge of the court. She is starting to set up her bow……
Mead-san’s team hit the received ball with a spell and blew it quite high into the sky.
“[Meteor Shot]”.
“What? Eh!?”
“『That’s not a human level of skill…..』”
“『As expected, Mead aneki!』”
Oh, I see. …….
If the ball falls from above, you can hit it with a single shot, high-powered longbow art, [Meteor Shot], straight into the opponent’s court. ……Are you really human?
[Meteor Shot] is an art that should be difficult to hit with, when shooting diagonally upward, expecting it to drop back at that angle.
The poor guy who got hit was sent flying in a straight line…….
It’s interesting that Mead-san’s team is also puzzled. Mead-san has one arm up in the air, showing off her coolness. Yeah, aneki.
Oh, there’s Rina doing her thing.
She jumps up to the raised ball, holds the halberd in one hand, spins her body to apply centrifugal force……And after two revolutions, she uses an art to hit the ball.
“Hit it! [Demon Slayer]”
“Blech!”
My sister, is she really human? She’s always been athletic, though. The two revolutions for the centrifugal force were intentionally swung so as not to hit the ball.
You’ve even landed well. Are you aiming to be an athlete? Is it because of the in-game status?
But, Rina. Where did you get that gym uniform with bloomers? It looks pointlessly good.
By the way, the ball shot by Rina was practically sucked into the ground, along with receiver. Amen.
“The spikes of the top tier of the first batch are too dangerous”
“Good luck, tank.”
Are Tomo and Sugu playing volleyball too? They’re enemies.
“Die!”
“Don’t be stupid! Stop aiming at me!”
“Of course we’ll kill the caster first!”
They’re aiming for the caster, Tomo. He’s a pure mage, so he’s got a lot of firepower. Of course, Sugu, his usual party member, knows that.
Mmm…… The volleyball seems to be quite fun.
“Next, we’ll have a hunting competition!”
“You will be sent to another special field, so make sure you don’t miss the notification if you are entering this one.”
Oh, it’s the competition I entered.
The notification came, so I will jump to the special field.
Is this…..a prison? It’s made of stone and iron cages. For the time being, it’s a straight road, so let’s go on. Oh, there are other players too.
There is a big door with something like a reception, and a GM waiting.
“Welcome, challengers! Wait a little longer! I’ll explain the rules as soon as we’re ready.”
It seems that there is another gate besides this one. After a short wait, we get an explanation.
You draw a lottery at the reception desk, and go through this door to enter the coliseum. Five seconds after you enter, the enemy you drew in the lottery will pop up in the coliseum.
Your target will be highlighted with a marker, so you have to kill or catch the enemy within the time limit and return. To get back, you need to touch the door.
The enemies in the lottery are random, and there is a low probability that you will get an enemy that is obviously unbeatable. In that case, you have to survive until the time limit.
If you die, you are disqualified, and you get experience only for the time you are alive. Therefore, you can get a good amount of experience just by surviving until the time limit. If you manage to defeat the enemy and return, you will receive a bonus. The formula changes depending on the conditions, so you should do the best you can.
There is no damage between players, but you can do MPK-like things. Enemies also take damage.
Drops can be collected by touching the corpse and found in the inventory after finishing.
“That’s all, any questions?”
“Yes.”
“Yes, Princess.”
“What is the maximum level of unbeatable enemies?”
“Maximum.”
“『What!?』”
“Then….Outer Ones….”
“Possibility is not zero.”
“Oh, I see.……”
“Well, I’m pretty sure it’s about 0.0”
“But considering the number of participants…..?”
“Yeah, it looks like fun. I hope there will be at least one. It’s a festival after all. Ahahahaha. We’re all looking forward to it!”
“『Hey, these guys are…..』”
It’s scarier for someone else to draw an Outer One than to get it yourself. With the marker, you can at least know where the enemy is.
Hmm? If there is a possibility of Outer Ones, is there a possibility of people from the Nether? Well, we’ll find out when it starts.
“Anything else?”
“Yes, is the time limit for all? Individual?”
“Individual. If someone clears it or retires, more players will come.”
“Oh, I understand.”
So there will be a fixed number of players in the coliseum.
“What happens to the enemies when a player retires?”
“They will be replaced by enemies of new players.”
“What is the target of enemies that just spawned?”
“Immediately after they appear, they aim for the one that drew them in the lottery.”
If you don’t know what’s coming, it’s going to be pretty tricky. …..It’s likely to be enemies that you don’t know the characteristics of in the first place, though.
And the enemies will move right after popping, aiming at the person who drew the lottery.
“So, let’s get started! Draw your own fate and touch the door, challengers!”
They line up and draw in order, touching the door. I draw too, but even if I look at the slip, I don’t understand. I touch the door and transfer.
“『’It’s smaller than I expected!?』”
“This is going to be hard if a big one comes…..”
You can’t PK, but you can MPK…..and enemies can damage each other…….
It is an athletic event, so it’s a team game. It’s better to have the enemy team die quickly. In other words, it’s best not to fight seriously, but to have your enemies cut down, and to hit other people with enemy attacks.
The field is narrower than I expected, so it will be easier to get enemies involved. In other words, it’s easy to make enemies fight each other and cut each other down. The problem is that it also helps other players, but it’s fine if they’re on the same team.
Hmmm…. it will be a difficult competition.
While I was thinking about this, enemies have started to appear in the middle of the coliseum.
“『There are so many I’ve never seen before!』”
Yes, really. There are also flying ones? I mean, what’s with the fish swimming in the air? Is it a special feature, or is that how they are normally? ….For now, I will ready Athame. The battle is about to begin.
Well, my prey is not in the 3D map. I’ll look for it with my eyes……
“Oh, armour …..Hm!? Whoah….!”
I was just barely able to avoid the thing that came flying, at the last second. My enemy is an armoured type.
Support Fire Type MK.II Lv56
A multi-legged support machine, armed mainly for support fire.
Among the support fire types that focus on interference, this machine emphasizes firepower.
Characterized by the two large guns on its back, it has a long range and high power.
Attributes: – Weaknesses: – Resistance: –
Genus: Armoured Family: Quadruped
Condition: Normal
It’s convenient that it’s a ranged type, but…it has a longer range than the 3D map. Can I get within range?
…..Isn’t it fine if I just reflect the attacks onto people of the enemy teams?
Well, the first priority is to get closer, while parrying.
“I don’t have a long range attack!?”
“You! Don’t come over here!”
“Hey! Who the hell called that guy?
“There’s a really bad one!”
I can’t see it, but is there something else? I’m walking while blocking the flying magic power. It looks like it uses a magic gun, rather than live ammunition, that armoured enemy.
It looks like a spider, with a round body on top, and two large barrels pointing this way.
It seems to also have guns on arms extending from its torso, but it is probably out of range. It is not firing them.
Will it run out of energy like real ammunition? I don’t see any casing being ejected, but it’s pretty nasty if it’s designed to use mana. If that is the case, it is unlikely to run out of ammunition.
The two upper guns don’t have a very high rate of fire. Is the recoil reasonably large, or is that why it has so many legs? The problem is the two arms. If they are machine gun types, it will be a big problem, but I think it is unlikely.
If you bring out an assault rifle or something, the bow will be in despair….
“Hyah! Get out of the way!”
“Hey!”
“Watch out!”
Hmm…..It’s a bit of a scramble now, isn’t it?
At 100 metres the two arms have moved to face me. I also switch from eyes to map, and focus on reflecting instead of parries.
Don’t think too hard, my first priority is to survive and I can think about defeating it after. It’s 56, so just surviving should be enough.
The time limit is 10 minutes, but if it’s just him, it shouldn’t be an issue. ….The problem is the surroundings, including other players.
The two arm guns are also semi-automatic. Thankfully they are not fully automatic, but they have a much higher rate of fire than the upper guns. It’s more like a bolt action.
Reflect as little as possible to avoid being hit by the gun. If I can destroy a part of the gun, it will be less efficient.
The big gun has a range of about 120, and the arm is 100. Magic guns have a long range. It seems to have a distance decay.
By the way, parry retains the distance decay. Reflection is considered the start of an attack, so it refreshes. Strange, isn’t it? Well, if it didn’t, the attack probably would not reach.
“Oh!? A beautiful neechan has appeared!”
“What? Really!”
A beautiful onee-san? Has she sprung up on the enemy’s side?
“Oh, this looks like fun.”
Mm? This voice is…..of all people, you’ve come here. Who called Lana?
“Speak up…..Hey!? Tell me who called me here!”
“Yes! It’s me!”
“Hey! Go and die quickly!”
If the one who called her dies, the next one will take her place. Lana’s at max level. They should be able to see her level with identification.
It is said that the target goes to the person who called it, but how does the AI work for a human like Lana? I don’t think Lana will follow hate, will she?
“Hmm? It would be nice if I could rampage without killing the person who called me.”
“『That’s the worst!』”
“The air on the outside is delicious.”
“『The outside!?』”
Well, it’s usually the Nether. In that sense, it is the outside…..Mm.
Oh, I should check the identification information while I can.
Svetlana Granin Einherjar Lv100
The Duchess of Granin, a great hero in the Dinite Empire, known as the Sword Princess and loved by her people.
During the Great Stampede, she survived on the front lines despite being a duchess.
She has appeared here as in her youth, at the height of her powers as a swordswoman.
Attributes: Holy Weakness: – Resistance: Physical
Genus: Einherjar Family: Spirit
Condition: Normal
She was a duchess, wasn’t she?
Anyway, this enemy does not run out of ammo, as expected. It’s simply hard, and it seems it will take a long time because of its high level. Should I aim to reflect a shot towards Lana? Or should I try to avoid being detected? Can you come beat this…..
“Oops…..Hmmm.”
A rather large enemy that ran into Lana was crushed in one blow…..
And even the person who tried to have Lana defeat it for him could not secretly recover the corpse, but was kicked into a wall by her.
“If you want my prey, you’ll have to go over my corpse.”
“Impossible game.”
…..Let’s not get involved.
If I can’t get within range for my magic, I can’t consider fighting back, so I will move closer while reflecting.
“Her stance is similar to Princess’, isn’t it?”
Lana is a different type, but you understand well. I don’t know what style Lana uses, but I’m a water mirror.
Did I finally get within range?
“[Lia Persepho Oura]”
It’s a completely stationary turret, so I fire a [Nox Pillar].
Ah, it really isn’t moving. It is only doing a small amount though….
“Oh? Isn’t that Sire? Good day.”
“…So you found me. Please don’t bother me though, I’m dealing with a tough enemy.”
“I wouldn’t be so tactless as to steal your prey. But it’s a ranged armoured type. It’s a good match for Sire.”
“You’re not going to help me kill it?”
“I’d like to see Sire’s good side.”
“So that’s why you came over…..”
Well, considering the situation, I can’t show you how I usually fight. I’ll just be glad she did not want to kill me.
As expected, the accuracy of my reflection is not great while I’m talking. Even so, I have to keep moving to avoid being caught up in anything else.
“[Zex Ra’se Persepho Ilda]”
As if forming a semicircle around me, six [Dark Lances], with increased power due to [Critical Control], appear due to [Six-fold Chanting]. There are two at shoulder height, two at head height, and two above that.
I’m busy reflecting with Athame, but the Book of Eibon has floated up on its own, so there is no problem with using magic. While reflecting and returning all the shots from enemy, I can also fire off magic. My damage should be pretty good.
“I see…..With the water mirror, I’d say the success rate of reflection is 60%. That’s good enough. You just need to get a bit more used to it….Fufufu.”
Lana looks like she’s having fun.
Ah, I’m going to run into that enemy, another armoured type. It would be nice if you could cut it down.
Sometimes I parry stray bullets from other sources. I don’t know where they go.
Isn’t all this quite delicious for skills like «Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion», «Sensing Danger» and «Intuition»? I’m looking forward to the end of the battle. Will it also increase «Wild Instinct» and «Survival of the Fittest»?
“Huh.”
“Sire….Did you think of something else?”
Yes, I’ll concentrate. I’ve lost a lot of HP.
“[Zex Dey Persepho Ask]”
I’ll heal with [Dark Heal] amplified by [Critical Control].
“Hyaha! Disinfect the filth!”
Oh, it’s Mohican-san.
“The Outsiders are interesting…..”
“No, that’s a very tiny minority, okay?”
“I see….”
Why does she look a little disappointed? Oops, I almost got hit again.
It looks like I’ve almost beaten it. I hope nothing else happens……Oh, I just triggered a flag.
Hello, dark iridescent! Who did it? I can just see the management laughing.
“Tekeli li!”
“『Eh!?』”
“Tekeli-li!Tekeli li!”
“『Oh no…..』”
“『It’s gonna be 1D6 / 1D20.』”
“『I think I’m having a nightmare!?』”
…..I will quickly defeat the armour type and retreat.
It’s not as bad as a dragon, but 5 meters is big enough in this situation.
The biggest problem is that…..Shoggoth’s fighting method is a mystery. In the original story, I believe, he only charges at you. I feel like I could die just by getting involved, so I have to be careful…..
“So it’s an Outer One…..I’d definitely like to invite it for a match.”
“Are you insane, Lana?”
“If I miss this, I might not get another chance.”
“Please wait until after I’ve defeated my armour type. I’m sure you can understand why. But isn’t it actually pretty cute? I shook it’s hand the other day. ….Though I don’t know if it’s the same one!”
“Isn’t that the important part?”
“Do you think you can identify them by their appearance?”
“Hmm………”
You’re looking away.
I wonder if I could do it if I also become an Outer One.
“I’ve seen how strong Sire is, and my time is limited. I’m off.”
“Oh, yes.”
Lana moved behind the armoured type I was dealing with, then it came flying over my head to land in a heap, turned into brutally mauled junk. Amen…….
I’ll just pick it up and touch the door nearby. It flew over my head…..In other words, towards the door.
I don’t want to be where those two are fighting. The aftermath would kill me for sure.
“Outer One. May I?”
“Teke?”
“My name is Svetlana Granin Einherjar. I usually lead the army in the Nether. I’d like to spar with you.”
“Tekeli li!”
“He says he’ll play with you. I’m leaving now. I’ll see you on the other side.”
“Sire, do you understand the language?”
“I understand somehow.”
“So you do…..”
“Tekeli-li!”
I wave back at Shoggoth, who is flailing his tentacles, and touch the door. Is it the same one? Or are they all like that?
I think Shoggoth Lord is the smart one, and Shoggoth is not so much. Is that why it looks a bit childish?
Well, let’s get out of here before it becomes a hellscape.
And then, after escaping, I’ll check the video to see what’s going on inside.
“『Hey!?』”
“『Gyoeh?』”
“『Yamamotoooooooo!』”
“『I don’t want to go in theeeeere!』”
I know how you feel, but if you don’t go in there, it won’t go away. ….See, if you’re lucky, the two of them will beat each other. If you are unlucky, you will be killed.
As expected, the management was laughing so hard he was banging on the desk.
Or rather, people who hadn’t entered or had already finished were laughing hysterically. Or they were horrified at the sight of Shoggoth. Maybe they failed the SAN check.
“Hmmm… Shoggoth is in the lead, so maybe it’s an issue of compatibility. Or is it a difference in base stats….Lana is doing well though, as expected”
“You’re calm, Onee-chan……”
“Well, I’ve seen Shoggoth before. By the way, what was with the gym clothes?”
“I got them from Dantel-san.”
“As I thought. But the performance is good, is it?”
“Yeah.”
Well, even if it looks like a gym uniform, its a game, so the status will depend on the materials. In a way, you got a high performance armor for free. And bloomers.
Oh, Lana’s disappearing while curtsying. I guess whoever called her is dead. Shoggoth is still there, though…
Perhaps it was satisfied with the fight against Lana, since it quickly tore apart the person who called it. When a new player entered, it returned.
Peace has come. Well, I don’t know what’s going to happen, because it seems there are still people in there.
Yes, the experience was good.
Three more games to go, let’s look forward to them.
