Eat dinner and log in. Before everyone gets together, I do some production work. First, I do my usual production work. It's important to prepare before the event. Then the people gradually started to gather.

This time, I've asked my friends to gather as well, so we have a meeting in the garden. There's just too much room for them to fit into one room, you know. And then Aeon is in the room.

'Tact-san, everyone's gathered.

Oh, thank you. Aeon.

We go downstairs and discuss the event together. The first thing we do is choose members. Lewin talks about this.

We've had a slew of applications come in," she says. There are guilds, legions, parties, solos, etc. The first problem is how to organize them. The first question is how to organize them. I'd love to hear everyone's opinion.

First, there's a disagreement about the general organization. That's pretty much how we talked about it beforehand. We've agreed that 200 combatants are essential, so we'll start by recruiting them and inspecting the island.

Next, we'll frame the combat positions. Before that, we get some important information from Ygg. It's about the type of ship.

Master says that there are five types of ships: magician ships, gun ships, high-speed ships, craft ships and supply ships!

This is a summary of the performance in detail.

Mage Ship...The best ship in both offense and defense. It is loaded with magic engines and does not require fuel. There are various other special abilities depending on the ship. However, they are the most expensive.
Gunships...Ships that can carry a large number of cannons. They are the second most expensive. You have to make your own cannon rounds.
High speed ships...Ship of speed. Top of the line in terms of speed. The price is reasonable. But they can only carry one cannon.
Craft ships...Ships with air blockage. Lowest endurance value. Cheapest price.
Supply Ships...Ships with an inventory function. Next to crafting ships, they have the second lowest endurance value. More expensive than fast ships. If you are sunk, you lose all your items, so be careful.

According to Hugues, the normal ships in this game are wooden ships. There are three types of ships: large, medium and small.

It seems that the bigger the ship is, the more expensive it is. That's natural. I've heard that you can also customize your ship in various ways. The number of cannons and magic engines can be customized to increase the speed of the ship. This is what I heard from a carpenter's brother before.

The moment I heard this explanation, the importance of archers and alchemists skyrocketed. If the cannon is a means of attack, the archer is a must, if there is no choice but to make their own cannon bullets, the alchemist is a must.

However, they agreed that it's dangerous to only worry about cannons and to use archers. Then Yoichi made a suggestion.

'Have you received a request from the Reich's Musketeers Guild 'Shooting Star'?　It has to be the largest musketeer guild that I know of. They were brilliantly shot and coordinated against the Chimera.

'Wait a minute... oh!　That's a lot of stuff, and it's a pain in the ass. You should have a search function.

Sister Ruin... it's coming out of your mouth.

'What?　Excuse me...oh, they're here.

If it's Yoichi's point of view, there's no doubt about it. As we decide further, an important opinion comes from Mr. Full Moon, "Shouldn't we also have members who can work in the morning and afternoon?

'Shouldn't we also have members who can work in the morning and afternoon?　You're not on vacation this time, are you?

I was completely disappointed. It's true that the event is on a weekday, so we'll need to get people who can act in the morning and at noon, or we might be in trouble. Then the problem is the summoner.

'I didn't expect you to deny the summoner, Tact-kun.

'I'm not denying it. I just thought that ship escorts would be the main thing. When you have a carrier, an escort would be a must.

Well, we don't have any underwater summonses, do we?

'We've got an island to capture, and in Luke's case, the goblins can use the cannons.

I say that and Luke laughs. Then Tyrol says.

'Luke just cancelled the goblin archer's contract yesterday... because he wanted the Snowman.

Ug... but!　There are plenty of others out there, so no problem!

That Luke guy... is he gonna be okay? I have a feeling it's not going to be a good idea. Well, it was Luke's choice. I can't get involved in this, can I?

That's why we agreed to have fewer summoners this time, and give priority to those with underwater capabilities. Then Full Moon, Arleigh, and Tetsushin-san unanimously chose the Grand Guild from the Reich Empire, while Mel and the others and Tristan-san chose the Grand Guild from Freetia.

Ruin-san chose the guild with Crow-san from Weinleaf. We were introduced to our ninja friends by Hikage and the others, and we've decided on some members.

The rest is just a minor adjustment. Me? There's no one I can recommend! There aren't many people involved...so I'm sad to say.

At our request, we received an acceptance from each guild, and since we met the requirements to go to the first island in the event for now, we decided to discuss it on the island.

We all transition to the island, and we're immensely disappointed. The island there was a flat, empty island. This is terrible.

Then, one by one, players are shifting to the island. And you're despairing at the sight. That's what happens.

'Let's start with introductions for now... starting with us.

Each of us freethinkers will introduce ourselves.

''I'm Tact, the 'Leapling' leader. They call me a young girl summoner or something. It's nice to meet you at this event.

'I'm Yuki, the leader of the Freetia Guild 'Teatime'. Since Takuto-san and the others haven't registered as a guild yet, we're the largest guild in Freetia. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Oh...I'm sorry. But we don't have enough people. Then the people I chose introduce themselves.

'I'm Sirius, the leader of the Reich Empire Guild 'Shooting Stars'. Our company is unified by the name of the stars, so please don't be a tweener. Thank you for the Chimera battle the other day.

I'm the leader of the Reichs Guild's "Steel Division" as well. I'm not going to be able to get the same thing done. I'm honored to have my application accepted. I'll be looking forward to seeing you at this event.

'I'm Crow, leader of the Vineleaf Production Guild 'Female Dwarves to the Rescue'. The name of the guild should give you an idea of the situation with Vineleaf.

Crowe's guild name, I've never heard of it before. I wonder how hard they are working. The introductions are over and we discuss.

'First of all, this island... what do you think?'

'I suppose you want me to be able to use it as a base of operations... and I'll bring the stonemason home with me.

I didn't know there was such a job title. By the way, it's a subspecies of the forge, and it seems to have played an active role in the reconstruction of the Reich Empire, repairing the walls of the Reich Empire that were heavily damaged by zombies. Then Crow-san brought in a mason.

'I'm Will, the stonemason. Crowe told me about you, but it's going to be tough to build a base in a week, isn't it?　It's a lot of work just to carry the stones in the first place. Even if we could, it would be a small base.

Hmm? How hard was it just to carry a rock? Why?

'I'm sorry. Why did you have trouble just carrying the stone?

'You know... how hard do you think it is to carry a giant stone?'

'What?　Wouldn't it be easier if you could carry it in a golem?

There is a silence.

'...Can you do it?

Yes. It was a normal thing on the old island, right?

Oh. Ahhh... that's right, I was carrying it.

Hey!　You're kidding me!　What have we been through?!

It sounds like you had to work very hard. That's a lot of work to do if you're doing it by hand.

I'm sorry. I was distraught... If the golem can carry and stack stones, it should be possible to build a good base. Of course, it depends on the number of stonemasons.

'How many summoners can summon a golem?'

Me, Rakeshiku, Al, Takuma, and Aroma were there. Furthermore, Raiden was taming Colossus. It seems that Colossus is popular among other fierce beast users.

Apparently, because of Black Iron's success on the ancient island, Horse and Golem have been summoned by quite a few summoners.

''If that's all there are, that's enough.

Oh. I'll get the masons. Do you have a member in mind?

I haven't decided that part yet... while everyone else is discussing it, I'll ask permission and take a look around and then get my fishing rod out and fish. Now, does it hit?

As I predicted, mackerel was a hit. So it's possible to get food from the sea.

Did you catch it?

'I caught it. Allow me to recommend Nick and the other alchemists I fought with on the Chimera with Mr. Sharrow and the others.

They?　It's not just cannon rounds... what are they up to?

You know...I'll tell Mr. Will.

'If we're going to build an embankment, can't we build it in two stages away from the shore?

It's possible, but... do you really want to keep it off the beach?

'Yes. If we build it near the coast, we will have to attack the enemies in the water. That would put us at a disadvantage.

I see. So the ideal time to defend is when you're on land... then why the two-stage stance?

Everyone answers before I can answer.

'It's a trap,'

It's obvious... it's a common strategy to attack from above by pinching them with a big wall. The fire meter is also effective, so I figured I'd need the help of an alchemist. Besides, they are specialists in the mass production of weapons. I heard that they can also throw them and move them around at will, so I think it will be advantageous in many ways.

I see... you immediately think of a defense plan under these circumstances.

'No wonder you have such a high clearance rate for the event.

You're still the same... tact guy. No, more awesome than before?

It's something of a reputation. I'm worried because it's a pretty neat plan. Then we talked and we decided on a crew. Our formation is as follows.

60 heavy infantry, 20 spearmen, 45 knights, 40 swordsmen, 5 fighters, 40 mages, 40 musketeers, 50 archers, 20 summoners, 10 fierce beast handlers, 40 ninjas, 5 clerics, 30 alchemists, 15 smiths, 20 stonemasons, 25 woodworkers, 5 leatherworkers, 10 cooks, 10 fishermen, 10 others.

We were going to take on 375 combat positions and 125 production positions. The reason for the large number of heavily armed infantry and knights was because we thought we needed them for base defense. The martial artists and clerics are due to their small numbers and the fact that they are already fighting for each other.

It was decided to recruit a strong solo player or party that could act at noon in this situation. It seems that there are a lot of such players in Reich, and the people from "Shooting Stars" and "Steel Division" decided to work for us.

The reason for the decrease in production was due to the fact that, surprisingly, it turned out that a lot of people were taking production skills. The popularity of the cooking skill was especially great. The others were mainly in the role of gathering information and directing operations. Ruin-san, Sabacan-san, Nao-san and others were included here. Information comes out from Sabacan-san immediately.

''A special shipbuilding event has been confirmed in Wizard Orb. It seems to be an event to build a large magic ship. The verification team believes that this quest is the key to clearing the event.

What kind of quest is this?

The difficulty is A and the name of the NPC issuing the quest is Noah.

Well....that makes sense when you say it's the key. Noah is a celebrity known for Noah's Ark. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a thing before.

And then they all look at me... this is not...

Mr. Tact, can we go to Wizard Orb?

I can go...

You can't help but whisper...

'You're going!　So will you take this quest?　I'll buy any quest information I can find.

No, no. Wait a minute... it's difficulty A, okay? You can't.

Not many people can go to the Wizard Orb...could you please?

Apparently, only mages can go to the Wizard Orb. Then I thought Rekka should just go, but I'm told that difficulty A is impossible with a mage party.

''Huh...I'll just try to do it, but please don't get your hopes up.

I know. I'll handle the basing and the food.

So my trip to Wizard Orb was decided. I didn't know how long it would take, so I hurriedly headed to Aquas, made arrangements to get to Wizard Orb, the magical land, and logged out.
