428 # 409 Fifth Island, Strategy Meeting.txt




The next day after school is over, I go grocery shopping at the supermarket. It's the last part of the event. Eat well and prepare for the last part of the event.

Log in to the game. Now, let's do what we couldn't do yesterday.

Lily and her friends are going to set up the fire under my direction. I'll handle the legs of the Kraken and Tentacles. It helps that it's a good knife to cut.

Aeon and the others, who can cook the cuttings, skewer them.

'We're ready! Takt!

"Okay, love fire.

Yes!

The love fire lights the fire. Then everyone takes a skewer and grills it. Everyone imitates me.

'That's enough... you can serve it.

"Yes!

Here's what we made.

Kraken Skewers: rare level 7 Cuisine Quality B+
Effect: Recovery of 50 fullness and agility for 2 hours (extra)
Kraken legs skewered with fish sauce. It is very resilient, so be careful.

Tentacruz skewers: rarity level 7 Cuisine Quality B+
Effect: Recovery of 50 fullness and agility for 2 hours (extra)
Tentacruz legs skewered with fish sauce. It is very resilient, so be careful.

It looks perfect. I tried it right away.

Ka, it's hard...konnyaro! I finally got around to chewing it... which is a negative rating for an ingredient! Then Lily and the others offer me a skewer.

'Eat!'

Bullying? But I got the guy to cook. I'll take full responsibility. I complimented them on their work.

Then I dried the Kraken's feet.

Kraken slime: rarity level 7 cooking quality B+.
Effect: 30 recovery of satiety, increased agility for 2 hours (large)
A dish of dried Kraken legs. This dish is crispy and makes a great snack for drinking.

Try it. Oh, boy! That was good! It's crispy beyond belief in reality. Perfectly salted. I'll give it a perfect score.

Mr. Full Moon, Mr. Yoichi, Mr. Shallow, and Mr. Tetsushin had a taste of it.

This...this is beyond squid.

You know...I think I need a beer.

"I'd like to have moonshine at night.

'Oh! Nice!

Adult conversation. No beer, by the way. If you want a drink, it's Mr. Lewin. I don't think he'll let me.

"Jeez.

Please wait in line and I'll make enough for everyone.

"Yes!

For some reason, it turned into a Kraken Surume party. Furthermore, the Japanese fox brings a pot.

''It's ready~''

Now, open the pot! The smell of bonito flakes envelops the area. Inside, it's a foot of tenterculus. I tried to boil them.

Braised Tentacruz:: Rarity 7 Cooking Quality B+.
Effect: 60 recovery of satiety, increased agility for 2 hours (large)
Tentacruz legs boiled in bonito flake broth. They are soaked in flavor and tender.

It's as good as the Japanese fox. Then I'll take it!

'Yes! It's perfect! It's delicious! Wufu!

That was nice.

Wufu looks at me. I nod.

'We made a lot of food, so everyone should eat it too.

"Wufutan, a true angel.

Why? We'll have it delivered to all the defenders later. The taste of this family of Japanese foxes is infectious. Everyone is saying the same thing.

I'm going to log out, eat dinner and then log in. It's a strategy meeting today. Everyone has shaved ice in their hands.

''Since Ruin-san isn't here, Saba Can from the command center will moderate the meeting instead. I look forward to working with you. I'll start right away, but what time would you like to start the attack?

After much discussion, we are scheduled to leave tomorrow at eight o'clock and start the attack at ten. Two hours should be enough time to settle the matter, for better or worse.

Next, the plan. I'm going to talk to you here.

"I'm going to use the Aether magic cannon.

Are you sure? We've got the Demon King Bael battle after this, so I think we should save it, don't you?

''Demon King Bael is an all-player raid boss, right?

"Probably will be.

Yeah. Then you have enough strength.

'If it's a raid boss, I feel like I can win without bothering to use it. More importantly, it's a ship that I was able to get originally through information from Sabacan-san. I thought we should use it here for the sake of everyone who has worked so hard with us up to this point.

"...you're sure you want to do this?

Yes, sir.

'I understand. Do you have any objections?

They all agreed with me. It's more of a win-win atmosphere.

''Then it will be important to know how to stop the enemy's movements.

Oh, we can shadow stitch, that we can. It's a mystery to me how long I can stop them from moving, that I can't.

Even alchemy can bind them.

'I don't know if magic...works. I wonder if a bottomless swap or guilty thorn would be a one-off? There are other means of freezing, earthwalls, and magnetic circles, but... we'll have to try them.

Rekka is right, magic is going to be tough. The bosses from the third onwards have been taking countermeasures against magic.

'I suppose it's our job to lure the enemy to the front of the ship.

If the enemy flies, we're supposed to shoot them down, aren't we?

'Oh, I think I can drop it with a downburst then. Could you aim for the wings instead?

I'll take care of it.

Good thing Rekka and the others had a role to play.

'Well, our role is to buy time until we can restrain them. We have to make sure they don't attack. The rest is to deal with the small fry.

''I feel like those restraints are weak. Mr. Tact, could you get me some steel wire and a riding horse?''

I'm fine. Then...

Without a moment's hesitation, Tyrol and Mr. Tristan run for office.

'Yes sir! I'll ride you, Hicks! I've ridden it once, and it should be a perfect match!

Not to mention me and little Spica.

These two... have been waiting for their chance. In the meantime, Darley, the only person I can think of who's going to help you is me. I'll take the cone!

Haha, you got dumped. Well, cones and samurai don't mix well.

I heard that Tetsushin-san also has the title of a champion, so he should be able to ride, but after all, it seems that the legend of the cone is not an expert. Unlike me, though, I thought it would be a horrible idea to team up with Tetsushin-san.

After that, we worked out the details of our formation and the meeting was over. By the way, Ix was the one to fire the ether magic cannon.

''I know the procedure and everything. If the enemy doesn't move, I'll be sure to show you how to hit them. Master.

Come on. Ix.

Yes, Master. I'll take a shot at him.

Huh?

Ix. What do you mean by that?

"When you shoot at an enemy, you say, 'I'm going to aim at you! I was taught that it was a cry for help.

Alright. Who taught Ix to be weird! Then Crow comes in.

"Tact. "Tact, we've restored the durability of your weapons.

'Thank you. Mr. Crowe.

'I'm the one to thank. I don't know how many of your weapons I can level up just by hitting them with a hammer.

I wonder what the level of Hephaistos that made that equipment is.

Anyway, we're all set for this one. By the way, almost everyone is involved in the attack this time. The strategy was to surround the island and round up all the small fishes without letting them escape.

The fourth island's cave is now filled with non-combat production workers, just in case. If it became a defensive battle, the cave would be blocked with stones. That way, he decided that it could be defended in time. As long as the other bases didn't have very fast monsters coming to them, they would be fine.

In the meantime, each alchemists have built a wall and blocked the entrance, but the ideal is still annihilation.

I will definitely clear the event tomorrow!
