First I'm going to tell you what I've learned today. When I finish speaking, Tristan and Hikage speak.

''It's true that this information is confidential... as long as all the players can cooperate, but there are definitely people who will run off the grid or something.

You're going to see your mission come to naught, that I can see.

'That's right. I don't know what kind of rules they're going to come up with, but I'm pretty sure the strategy is to have the Lobo fight the Lassboss. And the way to get them to fight is this one from the mural.

Mr. Lewin shows a picture. The painting was of a giant woman attacking a floating island. Mel opens her mouth.

'So you have to lead the Rathbos to the floating island and have them attack it?

Exactly. The problem is how to get them to come to you. It's impossible to get a target with all these people attacking, even if you're trying to get a target. So it's basically a matter of staying as still as possible. You can see the enemy's attack pattern, too, so it's a win-win.

Crowe, who has joined us, says.

'That's all well and good. But the problem is still tagging, right? What are you going to do?　

If we all get a tag, we'll just go back to death...

Everyone is worried and I speak up.

'I have an idea. I think my horse and Mr. Tristan can lead the boss to safety relatively safely.

'I think I could do it without a problem if I acted after the player's tagging was no longer possible. I have a good feel for shooting on horseback, and I can use my hawk's eye for timing.

Tristan agrees.

'That's what you meant when you asked Tristan out, wasn't it?

They've been found out. I wasn't sure how to guide them safely and perfectly either, but I figured Ricule and Tristan could do it, so I talked to them beforehand.

'Sure, shooting from horseback would be a great way to guide them. But that's only as far as land, you know?　How do we guide the lake?

I'll do it.

They're all surprised when I say that. Of course they are. After all, there's a high probability of death in this mission.

I can use a water summoner to travel fast on a raft. Moreover, I can also use magic, so I should be able to guide it.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes. I'm the guy with the most points. Leave it to me.

'If you say so, Tact, I understand. We'll support you both. Good!

Everyone nods. And now we're going to talk about intercepting the boss.

''First of all, this boss... it looks like we'll get some points just for attacking it...''

'It's not a normal challenge... especially not for a close combat position.

Certainly not in a close combat type of job title like Mel's. Rekka speaks up.

''Then I guess a wire trap would still be effective?

'Well... it'll be like stalling them with wire traps and attacking them while they're there, but I'm sure that won't be enough...'

It's the same size as a robot...

Well... at least I'd like a way to scare the boss. That's where the alchemist male player speaks.

''Um~... if you have wood and thread, can't you make a catapult or something?''

Hmm. So...it's a rock thrower. In this case, it's not something you'd use to launch a robot.

It's certainly possible to make one. And it's probably quite powerful too. It's a siege weapon, after all.

"Ygg, let's hear it for the woodworkers.

I want to build!

I think you're asking if you can make it?

Then it's settled.

Wait a minute. What do we do about the keystone?

Rekha is right. We can't talk about it without the stone.

Chiffon raises his voice.

'Ah!　We had a rocky one!　I didn't have the excavation skills, so I don't know if I'll get the stones.

'Then you'll show me where it is?　I was in trouble because I didn't have any stones. We could probably get some rocks there.

It's true that you can't rebuild a broken weapon anew without a stone. It would be a big problem for Crowe and the other blacksmiths and the players whose weapons were broken.

'Then let us join you in that. We've been improving the quality of the stone every single day. I think it's going to help, huh?

Is that what alchemist players do?

'I'd appreciate that. By all means, please. Could someone ask for an escort?

"Mr. Tact, you've got to defend this place, right?　We'll do it.

Mel's coming forward. They'll be fine. Problem is, we don't have a happy camper.

I'm in. I'm in. We'll keep an eye on things.

Please. Mr. Tristan.

With this, Crow-san and the others have decided what to do tomorrow.

''I'd like an escort for the one creating the catapult... could all the summoners and fierce beast wielders, excluding Tact-kun, be escorted over here?

I'll take care of it.

Okay, that sounds fine. Huh? Wait a minute.

What about the... base area defense?

"You'll be fine on your own!

Jeez. Well, let's just do what we have to do... we shouldn't be defending ourselves all the time.

M...we don't have a mission, that we do?

'Will you guys be able to reverse spy on me?　Honestly, I just don't want people from the other side to get involved.

I said, Mr. Lewin.

I see. I see. I am the best choice for a counterspy, that I am. Well, we must be getting back now, that we must. Ah, Mr. Tact, isn't it?　Couldn't you please register as a friend, that you could?

Okay, but why?

We need a thread, that we do. We are ninjas.

I do have an image of a ninja using a string. That's why I became friends with Hikage.

After the meeting is over, Chiffon asks me.

'Why didn't you call Arleigh-kun?'

'You'll definitely put it on the board, right?　That guy,

It was Chiffon and Miranda who would agree with me when I said that.


The sixth day of the event. After the annual production of every morning, everyone is busily leaving for their own.

And now, the members are Lily, Aeon, Tiger Tare, Sabik, and Luna, who are waiting for their naps.

Lily is taking a nap with the tiger trough as her pillow. Aeon is on my lap pillow, Sabik is on my neck, and Luna is sleeping on my head. It's idyllic.

We had a moment of peace for a while, and then suddenly Sabik sensed something.

What is it?

Shhh!

Apparently the time for peace is over. I can hear the trees cleaving down.

Wake everyone up. Now, what is the enemy?

Tyrannosaurus Lv 25.
?　?　active

Well, there was a proto-bird, and it's an ancient island, so it's not surprising that they're there. What do you think about having them fight a tyrannosaurus?

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Oh, shut up.

"Gawd!

Lily, why do you do this?

I don't know if it's because Lily said so, but a tyrannosaurus is coming our way. Now, how to attack it... we need to stop it in its tracks for now.

"Bottomless Swamp!

Tyrannosaurus falling into a bottomless swamp. Now, how do we attack it?

As I'm thinking about it, Sabik moves to the tigerpole. Then Toratetsu jumps onto the face of the tyrannosaurus, which is about to sink into the pond, and when he scratches it, he lands on the opposite shore.

And Toratetsu repeats the process.

'This reminds me of the days of Desnia,'

'Ah!　You used to drop Desnia into the river!

The tyrannosaurus also tries to bite it, but it can't catch the tiger-head. Then, seeing an opening, Sabik bites the tyrannosaurus and turns it into a deadly poison.

It's a dead end. But there's more to come. Scales rain down on the tyrannosaurus. Luna.

Then the tyrannosaurus stops biting and gets scratched by the tiger-head incessantly.

Why? The tyrannosaurus looks like it's happily taking Toratetsu's attack... it's just my imagination.

But I thought I was stuck, but this tyrannosaurus was pretty tough. It survived the bottomless swamp and the mesmerizing, ravenous venom.

The tyrannosaurus came back to its senses and came towards us, but it was dying, so I wasn't afraid.

'Lily, Ion. Please stop it.

Yeah!
I understand!

Lily and Aeon turn against the Tyrannosaurus.

Double Splash!

Aeon uses a new two-fisted martial art. However, this is the martial technique that the guardian ice spirit was using.

Countless thrusts hit the tyrannosaurus, but it still doesn't fall. That's a staggering amount of life force and defense. That's just what the Tyrannosaurus is all about.

But this is as far as it goes. With Lily using her fighting spirit, she holds her great sword and builds up her strength. Then, she unleashes a desperate blow to match the tyrannosaurus.

''Charge slash!''

A charge slash hit the tyrannosaurus that was about to bite Lily in the face. The tyrannosaurus fell as it rolled on the ground and went flying, and there was no place for it to get up. Then comes the level up.

Yeah, I just have to make sure I don't eat this attack from Lily.

'I won!　Tact.

Oh. Good job, guys.

Lily glows white when I say that. Huh? Evolution? It's early! Then the info plays.

'Lily has reached level 30. The special event 'Trial of the Holy Dragon' has occurred.

Lily's light increased even more, and she was surrounded by so much light that she couldn't keep her eyes open. You're forcing me to do it again!
