27話 戦乱の兆し
不思議な教会を後にした俺は、無事に家につくとスマホが点滅している事に気付く。
また、携帯を忘れてた。
『戦いの時代、乱世がくるぜ......』
からのラインメッセージに首をかしげる。
さらに。
急いで返信を打ち込む。
『イベントの告知は聞いたか? 〈妖精の舞踏会〉ってやつだ』
『聞いた聞いたー』
『お、なら話は早いな。俺達〈百騎夜行〉は契約都市をミケランジェロから、〈鉱山街グレルディ〉に移そうかと思ってな』
契約都市? 鉱山街グレルディ?
『ごめん、話が見えない。契約都市ってなに?』
に所属してなかったからな』
『契約都市っていうのは、名前の通り
『なんか便利そうだな』
『そうだな。都市によるけど〈先駆都市ミケランジェロ〉なんかは、全傭兵団員の取得経験値+2%、だしな』
『それ、めっちゃいいな』
に入ればそういった特典も付くわけか。
『それに、その都市と契約してれば、その都市の〈
の信頼度や格によるけど』
『信頼度?』
『まぁ契約都市に関してはメリットだけじゃないがな』
『む、なにかあるのか?』
の機能にはけっこう便利なものがあるからな。払って損はないんだが』
『都市と契約してない
『お金がかかるのは少し痛いな』
『まぁな。あとは契約してる都市が危機に
が連携して、都市のピンチを救う防衛クエストとか胸躍る。
『それでだ。さっきも伝えたが〈百騎夜行〉は契約都市を変える』
『んん、なぜそれをわざわざ俺に?』
『早い話が、しばらくミケランジェロには行かないと思う』
『活動の拠点を〈鉱山街グレルディ〉って場所にうつすってわけか』
『どうして、拠点を移すか聞いてもいい?』
『まず理由は一つ。〈妖精の舞踏会〉が開かれるとともに、各都市の主要施設、
『ミケランジェロの場合は......三公邸宅の奥に立地している〈王城〉だっけか?』
『そうだ......それでだ。各都市の支配者へアクセスが通ったってことは?』
『支配者に挑戦して、都市の支配権を奪うことができるようになる』
『な! そんなことができるのか?』
『あぁ、できる。クラン・クランの公式サイトにも発表されているが、各町や都市、国家の支配権を
『す、すごいな......』
それが本当だったら、
表向きは友好、新たなる仲間との出会いに祝杯を。
裏では闘争の鐘が鳴り始める。
戦乱の世の幕開け......。
だけど、それじゃあ、妖精たちはどうなるんだ。
少し彼らと接してみてわかったことは、妖精達は平和と歓喜を好んでいそうな種族だった。
過去に起きた妖精族と人間の戦いのせいで、ただでさえ、人間たちは恐ろしいって疑念をもっているのに。
争いが勃発しそうな人間界に、強力な素材採取に繋がる妖精族の出現......再び妖精の利用を画策する
そんな状態で、俺は賢者ミソラさんの信任を得て、妖精をお披露目するかもしれない。
不安が
ミソラさんも妖精たちも所詮はNPCに過ぎない。だから彼女たちが人間達の争いに巻き込まれ、どうなろうと、それは所詮ゲームシステム内で起きただけの事だ。
だけれど、陽気に語りかけてくる妖精たちと出会って、可愛がってくれるミソラさんと一緒に過ごして、そう割り切れない何かが俺の中でできてしまった。
『おう......』
『〈鉱山街グレルディ〉を契約都市にすれば、
『そうだ。俺たちは各鉱石系などの値上がりを考えて、今のうちにレベル上げも兼ねて、金策もするってわけだ』
『契約都市を移す、二つ目の理由は......最近、変な奴らに俺と
『そうだ。なんだか、お前絡みの連中らしいのだが......何か知らないか?』
百鬼夜行のグレンくん以外で?
にしては妙に歯切れが悪い。
『この間の賢者ミソラの一件で、そのタロ。お前に会いたいって
既に、俺が何か妖精との繋がりがあると気付いた傭兵もいるかもしれない。
警戒度を上げないといけないな。
それに夕輝や晃夜に迷惑をかけてしまっていたとは......申し訳ない。
『それは、ごめん。迷惑をかけちゃったな』
『いや、別にいいんだ。だが、奴らの様子からすると少し危険な気もしてな......こう、ロリ、犯罪臭とまではいかないんだが......』
晃夜が言いにくそうにしていたのは、こういうことか。
やばい奴らなのか。
りを覚える。
『いや、実害はないんだがな......とにかく、そういうことで俺たちはしばらく活動拠点を移す』
が謝る必要はない。イベントに向けての金儲けが、主な移動の理由だからな』
『でだ、さっき話した奴らの事もある。タロをミケランジェロに残すのは心配だ。俺達の
はもちろん、シズクやゆらちーも大歓迎だぞ。タロの錬金術士の腕も見込んでの勧誘だ。どうだ? これを機に俺達の傭兵団に所属してみては』
『......それは正直、かなり嬉しい誘いだ』
最初は錬金術なんてお荷物スキルって見ていた、ゆらちーですら俺の入団を戦力として誘ってくれるのは凄く嬉しい。
と戦時中なのに、今以上に負担をかけたくはない。
〈妖精の舞踏会〉が開かれ、支配権をめぐる戦いが始まり、状況を見定めてから入団を決めた方がいいと思った。
『だけど、まだ所属できそうにない、かな』
『わかった。でも俺達はいつでもタロを歓迎するからな。それに同じ
『おう、助かる。そっちも遠慮なく言ってくれよな。すぐに、錬金術士さまが助太刀にいく』
『頼むぜ、小さな錬金術士どの』
『小さいは余計だ』
『普通な錬金術士の方がよかったか?』
普通人のあだ名をいじってくる晃夜。
、あとで覚えておけよ?』
微妙にちゃかされて、晃夜とのラインのやり取りは終わった。
今後、考えることは多そうだが、何が待ち受けているのか、やはり楽しみだ。
イベントまでできる事を、準備をしておかないといけないな。
クラン・クランにインするとしますか。
27 27 Stories Signs Of War
After a strange church, I find my phone flashing when I get home safely.
Also, I forgot my phone.
"In the days of battle, there will be turmoil..."
Wrap your neck around the line message from Shaky Night.
Plus.
Hurry and type in the reply.
"Did you hear the announcement of the event?" Fairy Ball. "
"I heard. I heard."
'Oh, then you talk fast. We thought we'd move the contract city from Michelangelo to the mining district of Greldi.
Contract city or mining district Greldi?
'Sorry, I can't see the story. What's a contract city?
'Oh. You did, I'm sorry. Shintaro didn't belong to the mercenary regiment. "
"A contract city is a city contracted by a mercenary regiment (clan), as the name suggests. Various bonuses accrue to the Mercenary Regiment (Clan) depending on the city contracted '
"Sounds convenient."
'Right. According to the city, "Michelangelo, the pioneer city" has +2% experience of all mercenary corps members.
"That's so good."
If you join a mercenary regiment (clan), do you also get such benefits?
"Besides, if you sign with that city, you'll get more quest orders in that city's Bounty Neck and Auction (Wonted)."
"To put it terminally." The number of quests depends on the trust and character of the Mercenary Corps. "
"Confidence?
"Well, it's not just about the benefits when it comes to contract cities."
"Mm, what do you got?
'Well, still, there's something quite convenient about the Mercenary Corps (Clan) function. I don't have to pay for it. "
"What about the mercenary regiment (clan) that hasn't signed with the city?
"It hurts a little to spend money."
'Well. And then when the city you're contracting is in danger, you'll be forced to participate in defensive quests or something. "
Several mercenary regiments (clans) work together on defensive quests to save the city's pinches.
'So. As I told you earlier, The Hundred Rides of Night will change the contract city.
'Mmm, why bother with that to me?
"I don't think I'm going to Michelangelo for a while"
Do you want to put the base of activity in a place called "The Mine District Greldi"?
"Why don't you ask me if I can move the base?
'First of all, there's one reason. It would have been announced that the Fairy Ball would be held, as well as the release of the main facilities in each city, the ruler's (...) building?
"In the case of Michelangelo... is it the" Royal Castle "located behind the Three Official Mansions?
'Yes... so. You mean access to the rulers of every city?
"I will be able to challenge the rulers to take control of the city"
'Nah! Can you do that?
'Oh, I can. It has also been announced on the official Clan Clan website, but it is also said that mercenaries (players) can take control of each town, city, and country. "
"Su, wow......"
If that were true, would a mercenary regiment (clan) that ruled a city with a large mercenary (player) population be so rich?
On the face of it, friendship, a toast to meeting new companions.
Behind, the bell of struggle begins to ring.
The dawn of a world of war......
But then, what happens to the fairies?
After a bit of dealing with them, I found out that the fairies were a species that seemed to like peace and joy.
Because of the fairy tribe and human battles that have happened in the past, even though we suspect that humans are horrible.
The advent of fairy clans that lead to powerful material collection is likely to erupt in the human world... Once again, there should be mercenaries (players) plotting the use of fairies.
In that state, I may earn the trust of Mr. Mithola, the wise man, to reveal the fairy.
Anxiety raises.
Both Mr. Mithola and the fairies are just NPCs. So no matter what happens when they get into human strife, it just happens in the game system.
But I met the fairies who spoke cheerfully, and spent time with Miss Mithola, who was adorable, and something so inseparable was made in me.
"Oops......"
"If you make the Mine District Greldi a contract city, the Mercenary Corps (Clan) contract bonus increases the material drop rate of the" Ore "category, as well as the rare drop rate of the" Ore "category."
'That's right. We think about the price increases for each ore system and so on, and we're going to do the same thing now. "
"Transferring the contract city, the second reason... lately, I and Yuki have been involved in something weird."
'That's right. I don't know, you tangled people... you know what?
Apart from Glenn, who's been up all night?
My teeth are strangely broken at night.
"One of the sage misolas in the meantime, that taro. A mercenary (player) wants to see you, but he's starting to show up... '
Some mercenaries may have already realized I had some connection to the fairies.
We have to be more vigilant.
Besides, I didn't know you were bothering Evening Fai or Shaking Night... sorry.
'That's, I'm sorry. You've annoyed me.'
'No, it's nothing. But based on how they look, I don't even feel a little dangerous... like this, Lori, it doesn't even smell like crime...'
Is this what Shaking Night was trying to say?
Are they bad?
I remember being angry.
'No, there's no real harm... anyway, that's what we're gonna do for a while'
"No, there's really no need for Shintaro to apologize. Money making for the event is the main reason for the trip. '
'So, there's something about the guys we just talked about. I'm worried about leaving Taro with Michelangelo. Why don't you join our mercenary regiment?
"Not only is Yuki Yuki welcome, but Shizuku Yukichi is also welcome. Talo's alchemist arm is also expected to solicit. Why don't you use this to join our mercenary regiment?"
'... that's quite a pleasant invitation, to be honest'
At first, I saw alchemy as a luggage skill, and I'm so glad even Yuri invited me to join the group as a force of war.
Even though they are in a time of war with a group of mercenaries (clans) higher than they are, they don't want to strain them any more than they do now.
I thought we should decide to join the group after the Fairy Ball was held and the battle over dominance started and we determined the situation.
"But I don't think I can belong yet, do I?"
'Okay. But we always welcome Taro. And even if it's not the same mercenary regiment (clan), call me as soon as you're in trouble. "
"Oops, that helps. Don't hesitate to tell me. Soon, the alchemist will go to the bayonet."
"Please, little alchemist which"
"Small is extra"
"Would a normal alchemist have been better?
A shaky night messing with the nickname of a normal person.
"Ahhh! Shake night, remember later?
Subtly deceived, the exchange of lines with the shaky night ended.
Looks like I'll have a lot to think about in the future, but I'm still looking forward to seeing what's waiting for me.
We need to get ready for what we can do until the event.
What if you were to enter a clan clan?
