The game is being maintained now. I'm having a blast. I guess I was unexpectedly tired.

Then I woke up before noon and ate lunch while talking about the game with my Kayo sisters and others.

I was relieved when they told me at dinner last night that I had successfully completed the event. I thought there was a chance that Lobo might lose to Astaroth, but Lobo was still great.

Then the Kayo sisters tell me the status of the board. They say that there's a big fuss about Lily and the others turning into dragons. That's because... I was surprised myself.

And of course my topic of conversation comes up. I've heard this is a surprisingly good reputation. After all, I was the only one who could defeat the Guardian Ice Spirit.

The first time I heard about it, I was beaten for hogging all the points, but in the end, I couldn't beat that boss on the other servers, and there were many people who lost points, so I prevented that from happening and found a key point of attack, which is why I think your reputation has increased.

'Still, monopoly is a bad thing!

We have to stay in touch.

'I know... but then again, he was such a powerful foe...'

It was definitely outstandingly strong, but honestly, it's a mystery how it could have caused that much damage.

'I heard it was a mess, right?　It seems that when the weather was changed to snow, they disappeared, and even with their presence detection, they couldn't find them. It seems that even if we countered them with a presence blocker, they would easily attack us.

It's a mystery.

Hmm? Is that supposed to be funny?

Even if you're blocking out all the signs, won't the snow give away your presence?

"Ah.

Oh, come on.

Hon. And I'm sure you have different weapons for different enemies.

'Oh. I'm pretty sure I had a thick one-handed sword and a thin one-handed sword.

'It's like I've been using Arrow Lane with my bow.

It freezes when it hits.

It's like getting shot by a blizzard with a legion of arrow rain.

Eugh. But then the berserk King Kong warfare was not good enough?

Didn't you get the soundbutt?

I heard they're the first to go after you at Arrow Lane.

That's a martial art, so it's out of the question to interfere... Hey, sis.

Also, I'm wondering something else.

What?

No, I don't want you to have that expectation...

Was the pyramid meant to resurrect the dragon?

That's not it. Apparently, that pyramid was used to contain an Astaroth Dragon, and there was an Astaroth Dragon core inside.

'It seems that on the server where I found the Astaroth Dragon's core, the player who had the Astaroth Dragon's core would be the first to be targeted by the Astaroth, and when it was defeated, the Astaroth Dragon would appear at the expense of those in the vicinity.

'It was rough after all. I was getting beaten up by people around me because of all the rare items I'd had to work hard to find.

Why do you have that item!　It said.

"...mystery.

No, that's a super rare item.

"That's what you get for using it in the wrong way.　If Astaroth was going to come after you for the items, you could have led him in front of the iron door on the floating island without any trouble, right?

"Ah.

'And if that item would damage the surroundings when Astaroth released it, you could have made a robot appear, couldn't you?

If that's the case, then I didn't die and could participate in the battle without being guided.

"Oh, ha-ha...

The three members who found the pyramid are laughing bitterly.

''Well... we're lucky we were able to capture the event!

It's all thanks to my brother!

My brother. Japan's best.

Don't fool yourself. Afterwards, I went with Kayo and her sisters to do some shopping, and Kayo and her sisters have school tomorrow, so we parted ways there.


Well... our usual home is home! I'm free!

We ate a slow dinner and took a long bath. It's a blissful moment.

Then, just after midnight, I logged in as soon as the maintenance was over. I didn't have much of a choice. I care about the results and all that.

I log in and he appears standing in the store. I've been up in bed for a while now, so it feels strange. Then, all of a sudden, I see the information.

'Congratulations!　We won first place in the management event "The Island of Old"!　We have been awarded the title 'King of Points'.

Who's the king of points! Don't give me that weird title! No, wait? The number one spot for cumulative points earned?

Title: "King of Points
Effect:+20 skill points
The title that ranked first in the event "The Island of Old" in terms of total points earned

Get tons of skill points! Woohoo. More info. What now?

'Congratulations!　We've completed the management event, The Island of Old!　You have been awarded the title 'Liberator of the Old Island' for those who have cleared it.

This is going to be given to everyone who cleared it...I'm kind of glad it's like a sign that we all worked together. But I wonder if it's a gift for them too? If that's the case, I can't be honestly happy about it.

The title "Liberator of the Ancient Island
Effect: +5 skill points, no more poison from the ancient island.
Title for completing the event "The Island of Old".

Hmm? If the poison is gone from the old island, does that mean we can go back to that island?

No info... for now! Now my skill points were at 58 pts. There was some skill leveling up, but I still didn't seem to get any experience because I went back to death. Well, let's consider that result to be skill points.

Now that my skills are up, the info is coming.

'The level of the Bombastic Demon Technique has reached 20. Bakumajou [Explosion] [Time Bomb]
'The level of wood magic has reached 20. Wood Magic [Guilty Thorn] [Sick]

Explosions are explosions. I guess it's pure explosive magic.

A time bomb is a time bomb. You'd think they'd want you to engage in sabotage.

Guilty Thorn is the thorn of sin. Given the name, it's an attack spell.

Sick is a disease. I guess it's a spell that causes people to go insane. I've never been sick, so I'll have to check what effect it has on me.

Now that we're done with the info, I'm going to call Lily and the others. Then Lily, Aeon, and Love Fire, who don't know what happened to me, jump in with concern. Huh? What's wrong with that?

Tacto!　Are you okay!
Mr. Tact!　Are you hurt?!
Tact...

'Oh, I'll be fine for now. More importantly, Lily and Aeon. What's going on with your appearance?

"What?

Lily and Ion don't seem to recognize Lily and Ion, but Setia and Love Fire notice.

'Your sisters... they're... taller... or rather, they're back to being Dragon Newt.

'Wow!　You sisters are so cute!

The two of them check their appearance.

''It's getting smaller~!

Lily and Ion's exclamations echoed through the shop.

Hearing the commotion, Hephaistos and Mr. Regin joined them to check out the current situation.

Looking at Lily and the others' statuses, their names were now Drago Newt, and their statuses were the same as they were in the early days. The skills are the same, but only the dragonization remains.

And the letters on the dragonization are 168 hours. Apparently, 168 hours to reuse it. That means it seems to require a week's time.

Then Lily and Ion ask me anxiously.

''Um... what's going to happen to us?''

We're not going to be able to...

I speak so that we're both less worried.

"No, it doesn't. I just don't know when I'll be back. At the very least, I should be back in a week.

"Oh no...

They're both depressed, but Setia says as if she had an idea.

'So that means I'm the best sissy for a week!

How can that be?

'Yes, sir!　We're your sisters, aren't we!

'Yes, yes. Please keep your little sisters quiet now that you're small. You can't even fight as it is, can you?

Uh....

I certainly can't put Lily and her friends on the field in their current state.

'Ta-taq-'

'I'm afraid Setia is right. Lily and Aeon will be on store duty for a while.

"Oh no...

They're both depressed, but I'm sure their accomplishments should be there, right? Anyway, when I tell them about yesterday, Setia opens her mouth with an enraptured look.

''Hmm... dying while being protected by Tact-sama isn't so bad.

""Mm!"

Setia throws another mine in the air.

'What do you mean!　Takt!

'I was not told they would do that!

'Brother Tact... please explain!

Yes, yes. Jeez... it's just... it's all pretty normal after the event.

I mean, maybe an explanation is important, but first, since you all worked so hard, why don't we have a little party?

「「「「 party? 」」」」

Oh, yeah. Oh, you don't know about the party. Or in this case, it's a victory party, which is hard to do.

I'm going to make you a lot of good food as a reward for all your hard work. I'm going to make you a lot of good food.

The three of them squeal with delight. Setia, on the other hand, sneaks in and says.

''...You escaped well.

'It's a shame that I have to put astringent grass in my Setia salad.

'I'm sorry!　Please don't do that!

Good grief. So shall we go shopping for ingredients?

I cooked for the party and my cooking skills went up two notches. I guess it's no surprise that I bought a lot of ingredients that I wouldn't normally buy and cooked a lot of food.

I understand the importance of this kind of thing when I look at the summoned beasts whose eyes sparkle at the many dishes I've never seen before. However, I couldn't hold back and Lily snacked on them, and that's when everyone started doing it.

I could have smiled at them up to that point, but they started fighting and I had to scold them for being quirky.

'If you can't shut up and wait for me to finish, we're all going to skip the food!

I'm sorry!

Despite all that, the party was a huge success. And let's take a look at the results of the event that we're interested in. Let's start with the contribution points.

Contribution pts: 133600 pts.

1,000 to secure food, 300 to provide food, 200 to cook, 500 to provide materials, 100 to rescue players.
1,000 information release, 3,000 tablet discovery, 1,000 raft creation, 6,000 base area discovery, and
Base area liberated 10,000, ruins discovered 3,000, ruins captured 5,000, and
Successfully defended base area-5000, strategy planning-3000, bosses and robots against each other-100000.

Return to death normal event - 500, boss fight - 5000.

Well, there is one item that blew me away... or rather, it's the reason why it's number one! Let's just go over them one by one.

The foodstuff is probably the foodstuff that we were able to get from normal boas and the like to secure apples and other edible items.

The foodstuffs were provided by Luin-san and his friends because they provided meat, fish, and fruit.

I ate some of Yuna's food, but I also cooked for myself. In fact, the buffs were effective against the boss demons.

The materials provided were Aranea's yarn, for example. Other materials would be locky wool, milk, and airy milk. Most of it would be Aranea's points. The loco moco wool was used to burn the rocks in the catapult.

I wonder if the player's rescue was given to him because he saved the people who were being attacked by the committee chairman and the boar leader?

Is the release of the information because I've given Lewin and his team a lot of information? I think it's about the base area and the murals.

The discovery of the tablet, the creation of the raft, the discovery and liberation of the base area, the successful defense, and the discovery and capture of the ruins are just like that. The first two tablets are the first two found, and the base area found and liberated are also totaled for two.

The strategy planning is subtle...I've certainly given it a lot of thought, but I didn't think of it all on my own. The idea for the catapult came from an alchemist, and the details of the plan were worked out by Ruin-san and Mel and others. I don't know if we can get away with that.

The more mysterious item is the one that pits the boss against Lobo, which is certainly the most important item, but isn't that a strange point? Well, we'll take what we can get and be grateful for it. And it's the item that Lily and her friends worked the hardest on!

The last return to death was minus 500 after being hit by a robot, minus 5,000 after being hit by a boss, which is easy to understand when you look at it, but when you look at the point where you lost points for providing materials and attacking the ruins, it's scary...

Next, let's check the war merit points.

Combat Merit Points: 83,000

6,000 destroying event monsters, 3,000 destroying Hermit Club, 10,000 destroying protective ice spirits, and
Robotic combat with a rating of C3,000, defeating a petite devil 500, defeating a lesser devil 1000, and
1,500 devils destroyed, 3,500 daemons destroyed, 20,000 attacks on Astaroth dragons, 40,000 attacks on Astaroth.

Back to death -500, -5000.

It looks like the destruction of the event monster includes defense, so you've earned quite a bit of money. Everyone else must have earned it too.

There aren't many Hermit Clubs... well, frankly, it should be possible to capture them with three people: a shield, a healer, and a wizard who can use poisons.

On the other hand, the destruction of the protective ice spirit is still a lot. It's the result of Lily and the others' hard work.

And to my surprise, the robot got a "C" on the scale, so all our bad work wasn't in vain. In a way, this is probably the best thing that could have happened to us.

Now it's time to fight the boss. The first petite devil and lesser devil, we're the only ones on the server that should be getting points for the devil. The Astaroth Dragon and Astaroth attack points are the very best efforts of Lily and her team.

I've got a lot on my mind, but first the prize exchange you've been waiting for! Can't wait to see what's in store!
