I retreated and joined up with Tyrol and the others, who had retreated earlier.

'You did it!　Mr. Takt!

You got the experience, so you were able to take it down, right?

'It was a lot closer than I thought it would be... but I still got the information I wanted. Thanks to you all. Thank you. I'll share the information with you now.

I gave the command center and everyone else the news from the ship.

'Items are the key... and I didn't expect items on the ship.

Why didn't they just use cannons?

"I think the captain's quarters were located halfway down the middle and rear of the ship. And it didn't have a window frame...

"When the cannon hits the ground, it can't hit the ground... it's a terrible setup.

I agree. But now we know one of the mysteries. That's what Saba Can seems to have realized.

"So you're saying that the witch used her cover to break into the pirate ship...

"I think so, too. Actually, Noah was able to get in. But from what I hear from Tyrol and the others, it's not going to be easy to get in.

"We couldn't get in because there were no ropes or ladders or anything like that. The boat was like a pulley, so we had to lift it up.

It would be obvious from the air. That's when Saba Can asks me.

''As I recall, Tact-san was making a rope, right?''

Yes. "It's a tough sell at this point, but with Crow-san's help, I think we can make a hooked rope.

Yeah.

Oh!

It's Hikage and the other ninjas who react to this. The hooked rope is the image of a ninja weapon. But even if you use a hooked rope, there is a problem.

''In that case, it's tough in the daytime, so if we're going to break in, it'll be at night...''

"The question is, where do we plant it?

The debate began, but eventually the deciding factor was the first island. The deciding factor was time. Defending the first island to buy time would cause too much damage. If so, they concluded that it would be better to attack the first island at once, where the defense was in place.

''I wonder if Tact-kun was reading this development?''

'The management has gone out of its way to encourage us to build a base... so I knew we would have to fight a defensive battle somewhere. In that case, I knew that the enemy would have to discard the first and second of the small fry.''

'Is it because even mid-level people can get it back?

I hadn't really thought about it.

Mr. Lewin is appalled. I thought it was so easy to get it back.

Then everyone started to move on for the night's decisive battle. I got on the Sknavcona and logged out for the decisive battle.

As I was taking a break and eating dinner, I got a text from my sister Kayo. It seems that Sknavikona let us arrive at the first island safely. Then comes a video chat from Riko. Since it's at this time, I can somehow understand the requirements.

'I want to break in and riot too!

You see... it's obvious.

"Violence is not the purpose of this break-in. "If you want to rampage, you'll have to deal with immortal pirates.

'You don't understand, brother, you don't understand!　That would be boring!''

Yes, yes, yes. Don't ruin the operation just because you're boring yourself. Then Kayo's sister appeared.

''But if there's any danger, shouldn't we go with you, too?

"I'll be fine with Lily and the others.

The two of you look disgruntled. After all, they just want to riot. But most of the Kayo sisters didn't have any event items because they spent their points on weapons. Even if they want me to do something about it~.

Oh, if you're there, there's a useful magic that I've rarely used. I'm not sure I'll be able to get there with that.

''I just came up with something!

How do you know....I'm still an Esper. It's been hunted down and I'm still motivated to speak. I just pray that they don't screw up the mission, for God's sake.

Oh, and what do you plan to do with your summer vacation?

"I'm coming home for Bon vacation.

''Er... aren't you coming back, brother?

'I live here, so what can I do?　You have to understand that I can't leave the house forever.'

Then I heard Miki's voice.

''...If we go, everything will be fine.''

Yeah!

Don't do that. Your father and mother-in-law will be crying. And speaking of which, after the event, there's a final exam coming up. It's a pain in the ass...

After finishing eating and taking a bath, I logged in to see what the enemy was up to. It seems that the enemy will arrive in about an hour and the pirate ship will arrive in two hours.

After that, we worked out the details of the mission. Naturally, when Mel and the others talk about my plan, everyone wants to do it. And I get a glare from Lewin-san. I don't know anything about it, okay? Hyrule~.

In the end, I need forces for defense, and the people who can do my plan are those who can use high level dark magic, so this idea was joined by people who are unsuitable for defense.

''Brother, take care of you!

...

Lisa joined in and Mel got detention. It's the only way to go. This is the only way...Mel can command, so she's still good at defense. Then a kid from the same martial arts school as Lisa volunteered to come with her. The kid was wearing a Chinese dress. She was in a martial arts competition.

"Can I join you?

'Of course you can!　Lee!

Huh? Do you know him?

''There aren't many martial artists, and there are even fewer female players among them.

'We're the only top players among them!　Doyah.

Well I don't mind. Just be prepared to take a risk.

'Yes!　I won't slow you down!

She's got plenty of spirit. By the way, it seems she's a solo player.

After the strategy meeting ended for a while, Crow-san and the others brought me a hooked rope. Appraisal.

Hooked Rope: Rarity 6 Rope Quality C+
Effect: Climbing
A weapon with an iron claw on a Konya yarn. A weapon used for climbing mountains and buildings.

It's perfect. We're all set to break in. Nao-san also gave me the Aeon ring. It is a ring with a sea dragon wrapped around the diamond, which is carefully guarded. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get in.

Now that Aeon's ring is complete, let's get into the swing of things.

After a while, we received a call from the defense team about the appearance of the enemy. And the defense battle began.
