I eat dinner while listening to my sister Kayo and Riko complain. She buzzes about the widening of the level gap between her and Miki, but she doesn't want me to complain about it.

I log in at the time I promised. The players have gathered at the Beast Demon Guild. Are you going to send all of these?

When I opened the warp gate, players started hunting ants one by one. I drank an MP potion, naturally, but this time I'm okay! I can drink! You can drink!

We played rock-paper-scissors with Mel and the others, and Mirai won. However, Mirai sold me the magic nuke because she saw no use for it. Mirai is a good kid.

Afterwards, I hunt with Luke, Tyrol, Rake's Wind, Al, Takuma, and a bunch of other people I don't know. Every player I met for the first time had a sub-race with them.

The first type of sub-race was the women, the tortoiseshell Serian Beast, the Shiba Inu Serian Beast, the Doriade, and the Angel.

The men are the earthen dragonet, the dwarves.

'I don't think I've ever seen this many subraces in my life.

We've been interacting on the board and this is our first time teaming up too, is that okay?

It's all right.

Thank you!

The sub-race will be a force to be reckoned with. It will give us an advantage in the event. I have a lot to tell you, but let me tell you about this hunt.

"I'm sure you've heard from Luke and the others, but this is Summoner Tact. I hope you have a good day.

Thank you!

We each introduce ourselves and explain the quest.

The enemy this time is the Sand Ant. To put it simply, this thing is a big ant that sends stones flying. The effective magic is fire and explosive magic. How many of these people remember fire magic?

We all give it up. Seriously....then Luke says something outrageous.

'Tact-san spread fire magic, right?　He said it's handy to build a fire outside.

...Come to think of it, I think I said something like that to Luke and the others. Anyway, this is a good miscalculation.

'If they all remember fire magic, then I guess we'll just keep shooting magic at them...'

Then Takuma and Fierce Wind speak.

'We're going into an ant's nest, aren't we?　It's not a VR MMO, but I've played games like that. I've been attacked from behind and stuff.

'Oh!　Then I've done that too. It's just a side hole that suddenly opens up and comes out of the straw. I don't know if it's the same or not, but I think we should spread out our forces back and forth.

Heh. I didn't know that existed. Then we need to think of a formation.

"Who are you taking, Mr. Tact?

"I've used the love fire and the others. Plans for Waxx and Setia.

Between you and me, I had a hell of a time convincing Setia to help me out... but I didn't think it would be wise to cooperate without telling her, so I'm going to be honest with her about the dwarves. And I told her that I know it's not fair, but I told her that I needed the stones to defeat the zombies.

I told him that if he still didn't want to do it, I would put Setia's will above his own, and he agreed to join me on a few conditions.

I will not enter the dwarven village first!　That and the fact that Mr. Tact needs a rock to defeat Sand Ant!

How badly do you get along with the dwarves?

'Later, I'll have Tact-san look for a new tree with me. I'd like to update my staff, bow and arrows, etc. soon.

That's a good idea. There were some fine trees in the Yellow Ossa Mountains forest, so let's do our best to cut them down.

Finally, Tact-san promises to develop a mixed vegetable juice!

You're cooking after all!

Well, it was promised that he would be able to join us. Luke was apparently worried.

'Duh, will it be okay?'

''If things get bad, I'll call the black iron and Ix, who has made it a fire attribute. It's also a level up for everyone, so you'll have to discuss and decide on a fire summoner.

The organization went like this.

Tact: Setia, Waxx.
Luke: Oak
Tyrol: Red Digger, The Good Fox
Fierce Wind: Fairy
Al: Firebird, Lizard.
Takuma: Fireworks and good foxes
Aroma: Angel, Good Fox
June: Shiba Inu Cerian Beast, Red Wolf
Unat: Serian Beast, the tortoiseshell cat
Maya: Dragon Newt of Earth
Naoto: Druryard.
Date: Dwarf

Luke declined because he didn't have a fire summoner. Nevertheless, it's a pretty strong party.

''Well, it's decided that Takuma and Tyrol will be the first two. After that, me and Al-san, I guess.

I got it!

Oh, I'm in the lead?　Why, why?!

Tyrol agrees, but Takuma is surprised. 'Why, you say?

'It's because of Hanabi. I think I know quite a bit about Dragon Newt's strength even with this. If we're going to divide our strength between front and back, it's only natural that Hanabi-chan should be in front, right?

'Yes!　Of course I'm in front of you!

Takuma whispers to me.

'Don't burn me up...'

Why don't you let him go wild and I'll give him some cover?　Because of Hanabi's personality, you're dragging this last one out, right?

The last time I fought a decaying zombie in Fast's town.

"Uh...so. Okay, but really, please?

I'm on it.

Now, when it comes down to this, it's pretty much a given.

'The front of the pack in the back will be Luke and Maya, right?

Yes!

I understand!

Luke and Maya will be supported by Fierce Wind, Aroma, Jun and Unat.

You will. We'll take care of it.

Naoto and Date are now in the center.

Well then, let's go.

We transitioned to the dwarven village and began to attack the quest.

''Ariari!　Shut up!　God!

The whole cave is full of sand ants. The entrance to the Sand Ant's nest was where the empty treasure chest was. As for the number of ants, maybe it's no surprise if you have a full Legion party.

Hanabi is trying his best to beat them up.

Ahhhh... it's easy because everyone's attacking me so hard!

Mr. Tact... are you sure you don't want to attack?

Al didn't attack you either, okay?

I have a summoner that's doing a great job.

The Firebird is a complete firebird. When it touches the body, it burns. It's the same raging fire as the fireworks. The Lizard is attacking with fire bullets.

''It looks like we have a long way to go, so I'm preserving it. How's it going lately?

'You were just about to get them as event rewards and get the golem, Horse.

Al is still a solider, after all. I'll only get a flying summoner... but the lizard will probably be a drake, too.

'I'd like to have a wall role and a mobile role~'

'Yes. Are you going to get a ride out of the chick?

'None so far. But Eagle can be ridden when it comes to Lesser Gryphon and Wyarm.

'It's a composite summons. You have a long way to go!

Al was late to the party, you know. But I feel like the chick is a treasure trove of synthetic summonses.

As we move on, what Takuma and Rake's Wind were fearing happens. Suddenly, they break through the wall and a Sand Ant springs up.

''Tact-san, rear help!''

"Here you go. Setia, Wufu. Don't take care of this place?

"Yes!

So I'm going back.

Explosions!

Sandocto is going to blow up.

Cleanup, please.

"Oh, yes.

He repeated such battles and proceeded to taste many dead ends.

'Tact-san. I'm only getting Sand Ant.

'Oh...I thought I'd see something else. I guess I missed my guess...

Don't flag it...

But the Sand Ant attack continues.

'I can't do it anymore!　I can't take the ants!　I'm bored!　Takuma!　Do something about it.

'Don't be absurd but I feel like it's time to be the boss.

Are you sure?　If you're lying, it's the most expensive dish in Liebling!

I'm surprised you're using my shop.

Hey, wait a minute!　Now the money.

Our most expensive dish of the day is a rather large venison.

What's that?

I got a block of venison that's more than twice as big as I am... rare grade 5 meat.

The eyes of all the summoners and players lit up. Fierce Wind and Luke speak.

''Oh!　This is a trend that Takuma is buying for.

'Yes, sir!　I'm looking forward to it!

How come I'm the one buying the drinks?

Al and Tyrol speak.

'I think it's too late, don't you?

Mr. Takuma!　Look!　Everyone's looking at you, Takuma!

"Jeez.

It's a gaze attack from the summoned beasts.

''U...da~!　I get it!　But boss!　If you're not the boss soon, so!

A cheer goes up from all of them. After consultation, Takuma was given 30 minutes. Since all of us are worn out from the quicksand, we took charge of the lead from here on out. The Japanese foxes will support us with the Trid Hells, and if they approach us, we'll have them burned with bereavement fire.

Setia will burn them thoroughly with her fire attribute magic bow and I will burn them with fire shower. If the enemy is stubborn, we'll blast them with Explosions and move on. In the meantime, an info comes in.

'Setia's magic bow has reached 10. We have acquired the bow martial skill [Trident Arrow].''

Finally, Trident Arrow. There's still a long way to go for Arrow Lane.

Come on, boss...

Takuma's desperate curse has been answered, and twenty minutes later, he finds the entrance to a large square.

'Kitta!'

"Tsk.

'Woah!　All tongue-tied!　Even subspecies?

Well, you will.

Takuma, do you want to take a walk for ten minutes?

'No!　I told you I was tired of fireworks, didn't I!

But... the meat...

It's an unfinished business. My motivation for the other summonses is also plummeting. I guess I don't have a choice...

If you beat the boss, I'll come over to Lieprich's for a little victory dinner.

The money is...

Of course. For free.

Shhh!

Everyone's motivation is maxed out. Then let's go to the boss fight.
