I was in a hurry to get the info, and when I returned to Lieprich in return, I found Ruin and his friends in the shop.

''Ruin-san, what was the info you received earlier!

I didn't know you were here, Tact...

Does that mean you all get one?

'Yeah. Hugues is going to the board now.

I know... but this is...

'From the quest, that's what Nevillos was talking about, isn't it?'

'Ninety-nine out of ten, I suppose...I didn't think Gerberagrow was the key.

'What's wrong with Mr. Garberaglow?'

Setia asks. Setia was talking to Gerberagrow. It was hard to make him listen, but he had to talk.

'Excuse me. I have to go talk to Setia.

All right. I'll let you know when I find out more.

Please. Setia, let's talk upstairs.

Yes, sir.

I will send Setia into my room.

'Setia, calm down and listen to me. I heard that the Garbella Glow in the Young Tree Forest has been defeated.

Huh...

Setia is going to freeze... and it will.

'Oh, no!　Why...I'm sure the state forbids the defeat of Mr. Garbella Glow!

'Ah... but there's someone who broke that prohibition. And it seems that the seal that Gerberagrow was guarding has been broken. Probably the seal Nebilos was talking about.

So, what about the zombies?

'Oh. There's a good chance he'll be here.

Setia hugs me. It gently strokes Setia's head.

'It's horrible...Gerberaglow-san has been protecting that place for people all these years...'

I know. You gave me your blessing.

Yes, he was. He wasn't a bad guy.

"If the zombies come, we'll put them down. And I bet that's what Garbelagrow wants.

'Yes!　Mr. Takt!

Good. Good answer. So, there comes a message. It looks like Mr. Hugues has arrived.

I go downstairs and ask him to give me the information on the board.

"It looks like this all started with the previous event's top players.

What do you mean?

'It seems that the event weapons were effective against Garbella Glow in any way. I heard that Carth's weapon was effective in preventing recovery.

So the Karth is a weapon that gives the opponent a cursed status disorder... it's certainly a big deal to block recovery.

'And Poison's weapon also seemed to have a suicide attack effect on plant monsters... since the forest was poisoned in the event.

I see... so the management induced the defeat of Garbella Glow as an event reward?

d*mn! I should have been more vigilant when the boss was Astaroth!

Are there any casualties now?

'About the only time the Legion that defeated Garbella Glow was attacked by a large number of zombies that gushed out at the same time as the Info and returned to death?

I'm sorry for your loss. But there's no excuse for that.

'Why was Garbella Glow defeated in the first place?　No matter how many event weapons you were led to with, Ruin and the others warned you on the board, right?

'Yes... but I still think gamers want to beat a strong boss... and then something might happen. Maybe you'll get a rare item. You might be able to brag about it on the board. As a result, they will try, no matter how many times they are told not to.

Is that how it works? Well, I've only got one thing to say.

'I don't want to get involved for such selfish reasons, sir?　If you're good enough to take down Garbella Glow, do you think it makes sense for those people to take full responsibility for this event?

They should take care of their own selfish misbehavior.

'I agree with you, Tact, but the scale is too large. Anyway, now that it's come to this, we're already in the middle of it. We have to think of something to do.

Well...first I'll calm down. Then, I'll honestly apologize for hitting Ruin-san. You still don't have enough training to take your anger out on others.

First, let's go over the current situation.

''Will the zombies come here?''

'Definitely coming... how well can Mr. Tact currently fight?'

'Let's see. Me, Lily, Setia, Love Fire, and Wufu are the ones who can fight properly?　Would Ix be able to fight if Ix were made a sacred attribute?

I can fight.

Then Bran tells him.

'Lord. I can fight, too. Defeating the dead and demons is the role of our angelic species.

Then Livina reacts.

'I'm not dead and I'm not a demon, so it's safe!

You're a demon, too!

'Yes, yes. Now is not the time to be fighting. Please stop.

Yes, sir.
Excuse me.

Once again, I say to Ruin.

'There are only seven of us who can fight the zombies.

If you can put together a full party, that's saying something.

Well, compared to the first time I went to the Deep Red Wilderness, I've increased my strength a lot compared to the first time I went to the Deep Red Wilderness.

''Anyway, I'm going to change Ix's attributes. Ix.

Yes, Master.

I change Ix's attributes with Ix's capsule.

I didn't expect this to happen. My plans were completely screwed up.

At any rate, I've changed Ix's attributes because it's urgent, but what do I do after this?

According to what you said earlier, the point where the zombies appeared is the forest of young trees. It's a long way from here to the... husband?

Wait a minute. We were talking about the premise that the zombies were going to be here, but they only come here? If there are zombies in the vicinity and they're targeting players, isn't the destination the town of Fast, not here!

Attribute change complete. Master

I hurried downstairs and the players had gathered to see the info.


'I'm sorry, Tact-kun, I'm sorry?　I'm using it as a meeting place.

Mel apologizes, but that's not the point!

'Does anyone have a friend in the town of Fast!

Mr. Lewin answers.

'I think most of us are, don't you?　What's going on?　Change your expression.

Can you check to see if the info has gone out to the Fast people as well?

'Then it should have arrived because it said the quest was for all players, right?

Aah! That's right! f*ck! I could have seen it sooner!

Lily, Setia, Ix and Bran!　Come with me!　We're going to warp to Fast's town!

"Yes!

Wait a minute. Tact. You'll never understand unless you explain it to me.

Oh, we don't have time for this!

'This event is for all players!　And if the zombies appeared in the Wakaki Forest, wouldn't the first place the zombies would go is the town of Fast?

What?

Everyone is surprised. Then Tristan and Full Moon speak.

''It's true that the monsters will go after the nearby players...''

'Given that principle, it certainly does,'

And I'll tell you something definitive.

'And if the zombies disperse to their respective countries after attacking the town of Fast, then the story goes through, which is for all players!

Because we, the players, have dispersed from the city of Fast. Luke speaks.

'Wait a minute!　You're a beginner in Fast's town!

That's true, but Ruin denies it.

'Not really... there shouldn't be any newbies because of the event, right?　Besides, if you sell what you get for your points, you should be able to get to the rest of the country.

Oh...

So this event is about sending other players to other countries?

That's what Fierce Wind says, but it's not a given.

''This is just my guess. So I'm going to go and confirm it now.

Let's go too. Takt, your prediction is often correct. If your prediction is correct, the event should occur.

And all the players who had gathered were going to head to the town of Fast. I'm hoping this prediction is off.
