Log in at 12 noon and decide which members will participate in the event. It was decided that Lily, Ion, Setia, Ricule and Darley. Liqueur and Darley couldn't be left out, and after a lottery between the four of them, Love Fire is, unfortunately, left out.

As we're playing the raffle, Hephaistos brings three glass swords. Just in time...

'I'm sorry. It was ready yesterday, but I think there was some kind of dispute, so I couldn't give it to you.

Ahh, yesterday, after dueling with Hanabi-chan, I headed to the Beast Demon Guild to talk to Lily and the others, and I was logged out. It was my fault for not making time.

''There's nothing for Hephaistos to apologize for. I had a lot to say to Lily and the others yesterday. I didn't make time for you...sorry.

It's okay. This is the finished product.

Sure. Can you restore the durability of our weapons?

Yes!

Then Ruin and the others and Mel and the others join us and we all eat and restore our fullness to fullness.

Then Setia and Hephaistos finish getting their weapons ready. Now that all the preparations are finished, it's time for the event to begin.

''It's about time.''

Good luck with your event.

Yes, sir.

The start of the event is announced.

'The event 'Survival on a Remote Island' will now begin. Please beware of forced transfers.

And with the forced transfer, we are transferred to a forest we don't know.

Now, the event has started, but what should we do?

Wha...?

Suddenly Setia looks like she is in pain.

'Setia!　Are you okay?

Mr. Tact, there's something wrong with this forest. The whole forest's been poisoned.

What?

Poison? I look around. It's just an ordinary forest. That's where I find the apple-like fruit. I put the gravel against the apple and drop the apple.

"Yummy!

'Yes. It looks normal and delicious.

I'll appraise.

Poisoned Apples: rarity 1 food item Quality F-.
A poisoned apple. If you eat it, you will die instantly.

A poisoned apple! And a quick death is too dangerous!

I'm going to cut it with a fruit knife. It's a regular apple...this is a bad one.

This apple in this game where you can't get decent ingredients at first...this apple...it's too vicious.

I use communication to Luin-san, Kayo's sister. There's a friend who's grayed out... probably someone who went to a different server... fortunately, the people who are close to me seem to be together.

'The other party is logging out.'

I'm sorry I'm so late... but I'll leave you an email. Now, we need to figure out a strategy. And just as I'm thinking about it, here comes the monster. It's the same boa that we've come to know and love. But it's purple in color, and it's not as poisonous as an apple. I'll try to identify it.

Poisonous boa Lv 1
Event Monster Target Active

Lilly.

Yeah!

Lilly's full swing hits. Boa. Rest in peace.

Now, I'm going to take it apart. You didn't drop the item.

This confirms that we are now in a critical situation. Since this is a survival event, we can't bring in any ingredients or food.

That means we have to get the ingredients locally. But there's poison all around us. This is not good!

Setia... is everything around here poisonous?

Yes... as far as I can tell.

Well... can you detect anything that isn't poisoned?

I can do it. I'm an elf!

That's all I can ask for. We should chart the range of Setia's detection as we go along. Now we know what we're going to do.

We'll move as quickly as possible!　I have no use for food where it's poisoned.

I get on the liqueur that was waiting nearby. I wonder if I hated Lily's piloting so much before? Let's just say it was my imagination. And Setia, who carpools in a haphazard manner.

'What are you doing!　Setia!

Aeon will take a bite out of it, but this will be critical.

''I have to go and teach Tact-sama, so I don't have a choice, do I? Is it better than that?

No, what do you mean...

Ion turns around and sees Lily on the Darley. Aeon's face turns blue.

'See!　Aeon!　Now get in!

Well, wait!　Lilly!　If you want to operate Darley, I'll handle it!

No. The sooner the better.

It's not that Ion doesn't want to operate.

'Good luck. Aeon, sister.

With Setia's ale, Aeon's hour of terror began. At one point, I pushed for Aeon to pilot, but there was no way I could stop the surprisingly stubborn Lily. I didn't expect the lack of cooking to affect me here.

We're currently blasting through the forest. However, it's peaceful here, and Lily and the others are running amok. The boa that approached Lily and her friends has been blown up. I'm beginning to feel sorry for Boa.

However, we're talking about a remote island, but the scope is too vast. We've been driving the liqueur for nearly an hour now, but it's not the ocean, it's the forest all the way. And it's still a poisonous forest. I had a full stomach, but I felt uneasy.

When I was thinking about this, Setia sensed something.

''Ta, Tact-sama. I can hear the sounds of a battle!　It's that way!

A player? If you're struggling, I'd go for it. I'm worried about my fullness, but I'm more interested in finding out more information. Because maybe I know a place that doesn't have poison in it.

All right. Let's go!　Lilly and the rest of the team, okay?

"Heen.
""......"

We haven't heard back from the two of them... and rightly so.　That means it's me, Setia, and Liqul who will participate in the battle.

I'll concentrate on controlling Liqur. Attacker's in charge, okay?　Setia.

I'll take care of it.

'And use as little magic as possible.

The monsters that come around are weak, to say the least. Then let's use them to improve our magic skills.

''I understand!''

Okay, then. Let's get going.

I ran the liqueur and spotted two players. The one fighting is the Wolfman of old. He's purple, which makes him poisonous, but he's still the same brave style. I think it's quirky.

'Trident Arrow!

Hmm? I know that voice...

"Heavy Slash!

Hmm? I know that voice over here too... but whoever used the heavy slash is fighting with the Wolfman and getting squeezed. This is not good.

"Liqueur, I'm going in. Hang on tight, Setia.

"Heen!
Yes!

Liquor speeds up with a gust of wind and rushes at Wolfman. Wolfman is pierced by a horn and blown away.

'Are you alright?'

O....prince...

What are you talking about...this guy. I mean, it should sound familiar.

"Isn't that the chairman?

'What? Let me go to ......!

I thought you didn't want to use your real name?

I stop as I'm about to call him Seigo with all my might.

''Uh...uh...uh...''

Chairman, it's a big mess. And the other one is an acquaintance of mine from the game.

'I didn't expect to meet you.

'It's been a while. Mr. Tristan.

This is the guy who was the archer who clashed with me earlier about Arthur. He's an amazing person who admitted his disapproval and came alone to apologize.

We'll talk later. What do you want me to do about that guy?

I point to the Wolfman.

'Unfortunately, we can't take it down ourselves. Can you help me?

I understand.

Me and Setia get off the liqueur. I'm getting my own glass sword out. We're ready.

"We need backup, Setia, we need you. I'll match you, and you give me a shot of magic.

I'm on it.

I've got your back.

Please.

Well, let's do it. The blasted Wolfman is coming back. And he steps forward and swings his claws at me.

Attack pattern, same as before. I flick my claws. And as I crouch down, Setia's magic and Tristan's bow come flying in. Perfect timing.

The moment the Wolfman sees Setia and Tristan. I unleash a thrust.

I avoid it while flying away behind them. Heh, a little stronger than the guy in the young tree forest?

Wolfman rushes in to bite me. Oh, I didn't know that was the pattern. But no.

"Turn and kick!

My spinning kick hits the Wolfman in the face and blows him away.

He hits a tree and is pursued by Setia and Tristan. In the meantime, I close the distance between me and Wolfman.

Wolfman's eyes shine suspiciously. Yes, I've been waiting for it. I throw the glass sword. I block Wolfman's cry and Wolfman stiffens. I win.

I pull out the glass sword stuck in Wolfman and slash him, leaving it to Setia and Tristan-san to stop him.

''Good job. You're as strong as a rock.''

'No, no, Tristan, you're also brilliant. Setia was great, too.

It's only natural, given the support of Mr. Tact.

So smug. Then Lily and her friends come in. The fight's over.

Disgusting.

That's what happens when you run like that.

'What happened to you...'

Tristan chuckles. 'You will.
