Un-summoning the Legion. The reason for this is to conserve foodstuffs because all of them will be reduced in fullness.

The remaining members are Lily, Setia, Konoha, Yuu Fang, and Aranea to collect the ingredients again.

Konoha flies through the air and drops an apple for us. I saw him eat it without dropping it first? You ate it earlier.

Aranea attaches her mucus thread to the apple and gets the apple. You can do this? That's convenient. I thought I could get it because I was climbing up a tree and setting a trap, but I didn't expect that.

Lily and her friends kill the approaching boa.

Every now and then the Wolfman comes out, but Lily takes him out by herself. Lily is popping Wolfman's claws, getting him stiff and then using a heavy slash.

Yeah, yeah, it's getting better. Wolfman would be a great training partner for Lily.

I do feel sorry for Wolfman as he goes along with Lily's practice, though. Oh, Wolfman blew up in a big way.

He hits a tree and the apple falls. Lucky.

We finish gathering the ingredients and Tristan and Chiffon are ahead of us.

'You're early,'

'You know... we're solo, you know?　You can just kill the boa, but it's your life on the line, okay?

Yeah, that's right!　Gather them, scared of when the werewolves will come out!

Uh...it can certainly be tough to play solo.

'I've been looking at the forums and I've noticed quite a few players flock here. I'm sure some will go for other base areas, but I'm sure everyone will flock here first because they're worried about their fullness.

You definitely said it like there was more than one base area. And I don't know how many players there are, but they won't be able to get in.

'Oh, I've heard from my own friends as well. Luin-san and the others are coming here as well.

If we're gonna have a bunch of production people there, we're finally gonna have a base.

I know Ruin and the others, you know. That's where Chiffon gets upset.

''What?　Oh, by any chance, or not... well, are your friends coming too?

Hmm? My friend...oh, you mean Kaito.

'You're not on the friend list with that guy, are you?

Hi, that's terrible...

But Chiffon will be glad to hear it, won't he?

Well, yeah.

Oh, no. I'm in. I didn't expect... that's what they say. I wish Kaito could hear this.

"What are you going to do now, Tact-kun?

'In the meantime, I'll wait for Ruin and the others. I have to give them some food.

That would be good.

As I was talking to Tristan-san, Setia sensed something. At the same time, Yu Fang also reacted.

''A large mass of poison is coming this way!

Looks like the defense is finally coming together.

Yeah.

In the meantime, I'm pretty sure there's a big event monster coming this way.

Can you guess which way it's coming from?

It's that way.

Tristan is surprised when Setia looks at him as he points at her.

'What!　That big boar!　And there's a lot of players out there that are being chased!

The Big Boar... fought recently. Lily replies.

'The one Lily took down before?

I know. This time I'm going to kill you without a trump card.

I got it!　Takt!

Setia says impatiently as I'm thinking about how to intercept him.

'No!　Mr. Takut!　If we don't hurry, our beautiful forest will be poisoned!

What! Ah, so you mean the longer the event monster is in the base area, the fewer ingredients it has?

I don't think we have time to think about it.

I guess so. Can you get that boar?

Yes, sir. It's an enemy we've won once.

Okay, please. We'll defend the place.

Have a good day.

I got it! I'm going to beat you today without a trump card!

When we entered the forest, we found numerous players. Among them were Ruin-san, Mel and the others, Kaito, and various other players. Unfortunately, Chiffon's wishes didn't get through...

Mr. Tact?

Hi. Ladies and gentlemen, keep it together. We're here to kill the boar. May I keep it?

...

You can't beat that thing!

Mr. Crowe is surprised. Is it really that surprising? We can do it if we have a plan, right? I know what it's like to run away. I ran from the Wood Golem, too, you know.

I think I can handle it.

When I said that, I caught the boar leader. Now let's bring back Aranea and call out our strongest wallflower.

'Come!'　Black iron!

He summoned the black iron to the front of the Boar Leader.

''Go, golem!''

It's huge.

I'm strong...

The crowd says so, but are you guys sure you don't want to run away?

Black Iron, stop him.

The black iron stopped the bore leader from moving from the front. Yes, I guess that's a dead end. The Boar Leader tries to push Black Iron away but Black Iron is staying put. Cool! Black iron!

Guys, let's do it.

I got it!　I'm going to take you down!

It is the role of the elves to bring those who pollute the forest to justice.

So we all bobble the boar leader.

Huh, let me give you a hand. Hey, buddy.

Kaito tells me so. He's obviously aiming for the point.

'Buddy?　Do you have a partner?

Oh, my God!　I mean, let me help you!

Kaito said, and the players in the room agreed with him.

''That's right!''

A motionless boar is just a target!

It doesn't take a gentleman to fight a bunch of little girls.

Okay, okay. All right. In the end, we all beat them. The players have a battle cry of victory.

'You know what!　Big boar!

This is what we do!

That sounds like fun. I guess that's the appeal of group battles. And Yuu Fang and Black Iron leveled up. I had an image that the Boar Leader was pretty experienced, but this is it?

And the Boar Leader ended up only rushing at Black Iron. Was this the kind of monster it was? Something doesn't feel right. Could it be that this guy wasn't a player, but a lake of healing, beyond the black iron?

Then I can see the point of continuing to rush straight into the black iron.

If that's the case, then there's a chance this guy will ignore it even if the player attacks.

''S, wow...''

So this is what a top summoner is capable of...

Some people are kind of dumbfounded.

'It looks ridiculous that we got away with it.

It's been noon. Mr. Lewin.

Yeah. It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry, it's just...

No, I'm the one who broke in originally.

I'd appreciate it if you could say that. In the meantime, could you take me to the base area I saw in the email?

Yes. This way.

I'll take Ruin and the others to the base area for now and then we can talk about things.
