68話 俺色シグナル
「ジョージ......これって......」
らで息を呑むオカマに、俺は思わず話しかけてしまう。
「天使ちゅわん......これは、とってもあちき好みの色だわぁん」
そう言って、オカマは俺が作り出したアイテムをじっくりと観察する。
俺達は今、ジョージの秘密工房の中にいる。
スキルを内包する水晶群と、短剣が貯蔵されている隠し部屋、通称『宝剣の箱庭』。命名おれ。そんな密室内でオカマと二人きりでナニをしているかと言えば。先日、ミナやアンノウンさんと一緒に採取した色から新たなアイテムが作れないか試行錯誤していたのだ。結果、興味の惹かれるアイテムを生成するに至った次第である。
【太陽の恵みを閉じ込めた石。手に持つとぽかぽかと暖かい。硬質なモノに勢い良くこすりつけると目も眩むほどに激しく発光する。その光を見たものは三秒間、視界が真っ白に染まる】
【属性:黄】
ごつごつと、少し黄色味の強い小さな石。
実はこれ、だいぶ前にミケランジェロの石畳がめくれている部分を採取したら手に入った『硬石』と、コムギ村の小麦畑で採取できた『
傍に堅い物質がなければ使用できないと表記されているが、武器や防具にこすりつけても発光するため、目くらましには随分役立ちそうなアイテムである。
「これで......前回、採取できた色を扱ってのアイテム作成は二つか......」
他にも完成したアイテムを並べ、俺はまじまじと自分が生み出した錬金術の産物を観察していく。
【太陽の高熱と水、合わさる事のない両者が絡み合った特殊な液体。光熱を宿すこの水は、触れた者を溶かすと言われている】
【属性:青】
黄色の瓶につまった液体。
一見するとポーションに見えなくもないが、瓶の中では黄色い光が常に明滅していて、まるで生きている炭酸ジュースのような代物だ。
これは、『水』を10本消費して上位変換に成功した『上質な水』と『
『打ち上げ花火(小)』に続き、二番目に作成できた攻撃アイテムになる。
瓶を投げつけて、ダメージを与えてもいいし、直接ふりかけ回して相手を溶かしてあげるのもよい。使い勝手がよい半面、その有効範囲は液体の量に頼るため、広くはない。
そして次に目に映るはタフ・スライムから抜き取った『
』だが、相性が良好で合成が可能な素材は皆無だった。
それに加え、今回モンスターから抜き取った色は『射ろ筆』で武器や防具に彩色すれば効果はあるものの、太陽光の絡んだ色には特別な効果を付与できるものはなかった。
なかなか全ての素材を活かしきれないのが現状でもある。
』と相性の合う素材が見つけられなかったのは残念だけど、十分な成果かな......」
吐いた台詞とは裏腹に、せっかく金色に準じる色を手に入れたのに、金すら操れると豪語していた錬金術士の名折れであると俺は思っていた。焦らず、一歩一歩進むべきなのだろうが、悔しいことに変わりはない。
「そうだね、ジョージ......」
錬金術の腕前不足な俺を、遠まわしに励ましてくれるオカマに心中で感謝を送る。
第一に望遠鏡は非常に利便性の高い装備だということを証明できたのだ。今回はその結果を確認できただけでも良しとしようじゃないか。
望遠鏡から採取した色を光カートリッジから抜き取るのは『妖しい魔鏡』や『古びたカメラ』と比べて非常に簡単な作業だった。というのもカートリッジをシャカシャカ振るだけで良いため、カメラのように写真とインクを合成するといった手間はかからないのだ。ただ、魔鏡のように金属製のインゴット素材を生成するには至らなかったのだが......。
「そう言えばぁン、天使ちゃんとの合作ぅン、ゆ・き・の・落とし子スキルうぅんんんんん......」
どうしてもオチ気味な思考になってしまう俺に、ジョージもオチ気味な声音を発して来る。
スキルを習得するための
俺とジョージの両名が作り出したアイテムを互いに掛け合わせ、作成できた『雪の落とし子』スキルの『熟成』場所が見つからない、か。
お互い、悩みや課題は尽きないらしい。
自分だけが力不足を感じているのではないんだな。
「あはは。ジョージも俺も、一緒に頑張って行くしかないね」
なんとなく、気を使われたのかな? と思わなくもない展開だったため、目の前の色黒オカマはやっぱりいい奴なんだなと、つくづく感じてしまう。
おっと。つくとか感じるとか、オカマの前で不謹慎な話か。
「それにしてもジョージ、今日は本当にいいの?」
「えぇん。もちのロンよぉん。そぉーんな楽しそうな、お・は・な・し、あたしを誘ってくれて、嬉しいわぁん」
太陽光が元となるアイテムを生成できた時点で、俺はアンノウンさんとミナへフレンドチャットを飛ばしたのだ。なぜなら、謎に包まれた巨人の石碑の奥へ行けるかもしれないから。そして、冒険の出発が決まれば、更なる戦力を準備しておきたいがために、
「いいのよぉん! どのみち今日はあんまり時間が取れないのよねぇン」
ジョージは何かリアルで用事でもあるのか、一瞬だけ濃艶なダークシャドウマスカラに彩られた両目を宙空へとさまよわせた。
それならばと、各種錬金アイテム、ポーションや花火を手早くもりもり作っていき、冒険支度を整えていく。
そして、俺はミケランジェロでも待ち合わせ場所として有名な『天球まかせな時計台』に集合場所を決定し、仲間たちへとフレンドチャットを送ったのだった。
たちが旅立つ始まりの街であり、今まで発見された中で最大規模の大きさを誇る都市だ。
初期街ということで、ここを拠点として行動する多くの
「どうすればいいんだ......」
しかし今日に限っては、間延びした平和な空気を一掃するかのように焦燥に駆られた表情を浮かべる
その数はザッと見積もって数百は下らない。
「あんた達はどう思うんだ? 意見を聞かせてくれ」
彼らの中心にいるのは、唯一この場でレベルが7以上の
彼らの疑問にリーダー役のうちの一人、トラジという男が答えた。
「......『コムギ村』と『イネ村』周辺に様子見として向かわせていた先遣隊からは、コムギ村は異常なしとの報告が入っている」
この男、装備はただの村人のような服を着ているため、一見すると貧相だがレベルはそこそこ高い。しかも、彼が着ている擦り切れた麻布の服はとある限定クエストのクリア報酬でしか手に入れることができず、魔法防御がわりと高くて貴重な装備だったりする。
「しかし、イネ村の方は『遠目から村の建物が半壊していると、そして今までにない大規模なモンスターの数だ』というメッセージを最後に連絡が途絶えた」
彼が発したのは質問に対する答えではなく、現状報告だった。
そして、それを聞いた
「おいおい、ミケランジェロが陥落したら、どうするんだ」
「さっきのログだと、敗北した場合『
「都市の復興作業に割り当てるとか、初心者いじめかよ運営!」
「いや、これは初心者に対する救済措置でもあるだろ。この戦いで経験値を稼げってさ」
「先遣隊とやらは平均レベルが5だったんだろ?」
「俺らより強い奴らが全滅で、しかも大量に敵がいるって」
「いくら、経験値に対する救済措置って言っても、ハードル高すぎるでしょ」
「そうだ! 誰かフレンドに強い奴はいないのか? そいつらにフレンドチャットで助けを呼ぼうぜ」
「さっき、王城内で『舞踏会』に参加予定のフレンドにメッセージ送ったけど、ミケランジェロの税率がどうなろうが、知ったこっちゃないってさ」
「あっちは灰王攻略のために準備を積んできたんだ。悪いが参戦できないとさ」
「強者は頼れないと......」
どうして、平和で活気に溢れる先駆都市ミケランジェロに集う
一体、どんなモンスターが大量出現したのか。
いつこちらに到着するのか。
広大なミケランジェロを守備対象にして、どうやって防衛線を張れというのか。
このログは頭をかしげざるを得ない内容ばかり。
たちに疑問だけが残されたわけでもない。そう、確かな二つの共通認識をもたらしたのもまた事実なのだ。
一つは、税率が上がったらアイテムや装備品、素材購入がかなり厳しくなるし、商品を出品する側としての旨みも当然減る。
そして二つ目は、状況を打破するには都市内にいる
「運営は完璧に、俺達だけで戦えって言ってるのか」
「もう俺、オチようかなー」
「負け戦になりそうだしね」
「また似たような突発イベント、どっかで発生してくれるだろうしよ」
「おいおい、ここで一人一人が踏ん張らないと、税率引き上げとか地味に厳しくなるだろ」
「経験値も稼げるんだ、がんばろうよ」
「勝てたら、の話だろ? モンスターキルによるデスぺナは経験値ロストがキツすぎるぜ」
「まぁまぁ、ゲームなんだし楽しくいこう?」
「こういうのはワクワクするじゃん」
「一致団結といこうよ」
「ミケランジェロの灰王戦で唯一の生還組だった、『銀の天使ちゃん』も癖の強い一級
「天使? 姫?」
「そうそう、すごかったらしいぜ!」
様々な意見が飛び交う中、この急造的な群衆のリーダー達はどうしたものかと考えあぐね、周囲の反応に対し無言を貫いていた。だが、そんなリーダー達の中に『天使ちゃん』という単語にピクリと反応をする者がいた。一人は先ほどの偵察報告をしたトラジという男。天使の名を聞いて、屈託のない笑みを浮かべている事から、噂の人物に対してはおおむね好意的なものを持っていると伺える。もう一人は、茶色のフードを目深にかぶり、長いローブをまとった老齢の魔法使い。『ふぉっふぉっふぉっ』と好々爺然とした優しい笑い声を上げている老人だが、その瞳に宿る意志は崇拝に近い念と、何かを渇望する怪しい光が静かに燃えていた。天使ちゃんなる者に対し、並々ならぬ感情を抱いているようでもある。そして残る二人は、その見た目からして若年層。だが、両者に流れる評判からは油断のならない人物でもある。15歳以下の
彼女が『天使ちゃん』という発言に対し、そのツインテールをわずかに揺らす。それが意味するは、美しく整った美貌が無意識のうちに歪められているところを推察するに、不機嫌をあらわに頭を軽く振ったのだろう。
とにかく。つまるところは、リーダー格全員が『天使ちゃん』なる人物を既知していた。
それぞれのリーダーが彼女に思いを馳せている間にも、たかがゲームだと言ってログアウトしていく者や、モンスターの大量発生なんて知らん、俺は好きな事してるわ~とそれぞれの自由を主張し、解散していく者がちらほらと見受けられていく。一度は危機意識から集まりかけていた
「んで、どうするよ。そろそろ方針を決めなきゃ、えれぇ事になりそうだ」
「そうじゃのぉ。何か若い衆から、良案はないかの?」
リーダーとして矢面に立たされた一人、トラジが重い口を開け、それに最高齢の魔法使いが若年二人組に話の
「フンッ。こいつらの練度、連携など期待しても無意味。正面からの衝突しかないだろ」
「作戦とは言えない作戦ですわね! あ、でも
だったら、俺の発言に文句を言うなと、怜悧な視線をヴォルフは隣にいる女子へとぶつける。それに対し、金髪の少女はせせら笑ってその睨みをいなしている。
「そうかい。こう言っちゃなんだが、俺もヴォルフ君の意見に賛成かな。ウーガのじい様は何か代案でもあるか?」
険悪な雰囲気を放つ年少組を見て見ぬふりをするトラジ。そしてウーガと呼ばれた老人は、『ふぉっふぉ、若いとはいいもんじゃのぉ』と若者の反りを楽しんでいるようだ。
「どのみち、レベルが高いってだけで担ぎあげられた俺達だ。俺達の意見に真剣に耳を傾けてくれる連中なんて一握りだろうよ」
「フンッ。俺とお前が一緒のくくりとは、おもしろくないな」
トラジの何気ない嘆息にヴォルフが過敏に反応する。
確かにこのメンバーでLvが一番低いのは現在7Lvであるトラジだ。次に低いのが11Lvの金髪美少女リリィであり、二番目にレベルが高いのは13Lvであるヴォルフ。そして一番高位になるのが高齢のウーガであり、Lv14という現在クラン・クランにおいて最高峰の
だからなのか、自然と決定権はウーガに任されている節があった。
「まぁ良いではないかのぉ。思う存分、この偶発的な出来事を楽しむ事が肝心なのじゃ。......とはいえ、ちとこの様子じゃと敵の数によるが、抗戦自体が難しいかもしれんのぅ」
老人の発言にリーダー達は自然と周りに目を巡らす。彼らの周囲に身を寄せていた
リリィが棘のある口調でヴォルフに嫌味を放つ。
「フンッ。窃盗と詐欺まがいの手管で男を
するとヴォルフも涼しい顔で彼女に応戦していく。
ヴォルフとリリィ。
この二人においては悪評が広まってはいるが、その分、人を出し抜く上での戦力的な面、戦略的な面で評価されているがゆえに、こうやって有象無象の群のリーダーとして担ぎあげられているのだ。昨日の敵は今日の友とは良く言ったものである。
そんな子供の喧嘩にトラジは『やれやれ』と言って、溜息をこぼす。
「......こんな時に天使ちゃんがいてくれたらなぁ」
偶然の出会いとはいえ、彼はコムギ村での彼女の活躍を思い出していた。自然と彼女の
しかし、その内容に過敏に反応したのはヴォルフではなく、今度はリリィの方だった。
「ちょっと、トラジさん、でしたわよね!? そんなに『天使』などと、もてはやされている少女がお気に入りなのかしら?」
彼女の瞳は憎しみとはまた少し違うものを帯びてはいたが、『天使』と発音するときにはタップリと侮蔑の色が込められていた。それは、この場にいる誰もが察することができる程に濃厚だった。
「まぁなぁ。いい子だったし?」
トラジはリリィの分かりやすいまでの態度をモノともせずに、自分の率直な意見を述べる。
「天使ちゃんなんて、いい子ちゃんの皮を被った女かしら。あぁーやだやだ! 錬金術なんて使えないスキルを取っておきながら、少し見た目がいいからってチヤホヤされちゃう勘違いちゃんっているのよね! ただの寄生虫だわ」
「おい、それをお前が言うのか? 自分の容姿を武器に、ヘンタイどもをひっかけているお前が」
ヴォルフのツッコミに、リリィはそっぽを向く。
として、やっかんでしまっている部分があることは認識しているのだろう。自分と同じように容姿が良く、歳も3~4歳しか変わらない『天使』が、自分とは真逆の噂をばらまいている事が酷く勘にさわるのだ。本当は、お前も馬鹿な男を食い物にしているだけの女なのだと。自分は正直に黒い部分をさらけだし、潔く認めているのに『天使』なる奴は素顔を隠して、いい子ぶっているのが気に入らない。
暴論も甚だしいが、彼女は本気でそう思っていた。
「ふぉっふぉっふぉ......」
女子の嫉妬は怖いモノだのぉと頭の中でぼやきつつ、温厚に唇を釣り上げるウーガのご老人だったが、リリィを見つめる目だけは笑っていなかった。
「お、太郎、誘ってくれてありがとな」
「ありがとね、太郎」
俺の掛け声に、メガネイケメンな晃夜と柔和イケメンの夕輝は、いつも通りの返答をしてくれる。
「巨人の謎を解くためだ」
にまりと親友たちに向けて自信満々な笑みを送る。
「だけど、『浅き夢見し墓場』の奥に、更に何かがあるなんて聞いた事ないよね」
「でかい骨共がウロウロしているだけの墓場だと思っていたが」
「まー、タロのことだもんね?」
「早い話が、未知ってやつか」
期待と不安に胸を膨らませながら、旧友たちへの挨拶もそこそこに、俺は手早くジョージやミナ、アンノウンさんを紹介していく。
「あっらぁ~ン! 舞踏会いらいだわねぇぇンっ♪ やっぱりぃン、いいオ・ト・コになりそうだわぁあンっ☆」
ジョージはピタっと晃夜や夕輝に貼り付く。
「その節はどうもです。でも、ロリゴンにはあまり近づいて欲しくはありませんので......」
「はれはれ、よろしゅうございます」
アンノウンさんは特に何も気にしていない様子だった。
そんな俺のフレンドに対し、夕輝と晃夜はジョージだけから距離を置き、ちょっと顔面を引きつらせていた。だが、これから冒険を共にするメンバーであるため、営業スマイルを見事に作り出し、『よろしくお願いします!』と二人声をそろえてお辞儀をしてくれる。
「それで、コウ......」
俺は先ほどから非常に気になることに答えて欲しいと、視線で
実は、二人が連れてきた謎の美少年がジッと俺に熱い視線を注いでいたのだ。チラチラとミナやアンノウンさんにも粘着性の高い双眸をズラしはするのだけど、圧倒的に俺を眺める時間が長い。
彼はサラッとした青髪を韓流イケメン風に短く切りそろえた髪型にしている。ちょっとおぼっちゃんヘアーとも取れなくもない領域ではあるが、いかんせん顔が可愛いのだ。しかも身長が
「今回はシズがリアルの都合でインできないわけだが」
そして代わりと言っては何だが、と前置きをした晃夜はサッと謎の美少年に手を向ける。
「こちらにおわすが、我らが友人」
あらたまった声で夕輝が、彼を紹介してくる。
「RF4-youくんだ」
聞き慣れない単語に思わず聞き返してしまう俺に、アールなんちゃらユー君が背筋をピンっと伸ばし踵を綺麗にそろえた。そして、敬礼のポーズを取り大声で自己紹介を始めた。
「小官の名はRF4-youであります! 以後、貴官らと共に戦場にて轡を並べる所存ではございますが、いかんせん若輩者でありますゆえ、教鞭の程、よろしくお願いいたします!」
なんだろう......。
この既視感は。
RF4-youくんは、俺の問い掛けに真剣な、しかし戸惑いのはらんだ目でこちらを見返してくる。
の耳元に口を寄せ、ごにょっと半ば答えを確信している質問をする。
「もしかして、あれ、ユウジ?」
なんとなく口調から察せられる、軍オタの雰囲気。そして、無類の美少女アニメ好きのクラスメイト、ユウジ。
『くっくっく、あいつのキャラクリ傑作だろ。なんであんな美少年にしたんだか』と
ユウジとは現実で、昨日コンビニで、この姿で、この銀髪美少女タロの姿で遭遇している。
なんて言い訳をしたら良いんだ。
そんな俺の内心の焦りを夕輝が気付くわけもなく、みんなを先導するかのように進行役を買って出る。
「みなさん。今回の冒険にはもう一人参加予定のメンバーがいます。ゆらちーという者で、ボクたちと同じ
なおもジーッと見つめるユウジことRF4-youくんから俺は逃れるように、ミナの後ろにソッと隠れる。
今はネット上の友達が周りにいるから、ユウジもさすがに現実での事を、俺を晃夜や夕輝からクラスメイトの訊太郎と事前に紹介されていたとしても......言及してくることはマナー上できないはず。
早めに何か対策を練らなければ、どんな大惨事に発展するかわかったものじゃない。
どうにかしなければ、と悶々とする気持ちを落ちつけようと努めながら、ゆらちーが待つ天球任せな時計台に向かう道程。
68 68 Words, My Color Signal.
"George... what is this..."
I speak unexpectedly to a breathtaking wolf at the side.
"Angel Cucumber... this is my very favorite color."
That said, Okama carefully observes the items I create.
We're inside George's secret workshop right now.
A group of crystals that enclose skills and a hidden room where daggers are stored, commonly known as the Box Garden of Treasure Swords. Name it. I said if you and Okama are alone in such a Chamber playing Nani. The other day, Mina and Announ and I were trying to make new items from the colors we picked together. As a result, it is up to me to generate items of interest.
[Stone trapped in the grace of the sun. It's pompous and warm when held in your hand. Rubbing vigorously on hard stuff also emits a dazzling, intense glow. What sees that light stains its vision white for three seconds]
[Attribute: Yellow]
Every single one and a little stone with a slightly stronger yellow flavour.
In fact, this can be a synthesis of the "hard stone", which was obtained a long time ago when the cobblestone of Michelangelo was collected, and the "yellow (San Yellow), which can be collected in the wheat fields of the village of Comgi".
It is labeled as unusable without a solid substance beside it, but is likely to be quite useful for the eyes because it emits light even when rubbed against weapons and protective equipment.
"Now... Last time, there were two items created that dealt with the colors that could be collected..."
Arrange other finished items, and I will seriously observe the alchemy products that I have produced.
[A special liquid in which the sun's high heat and water are intertwined without ever combining. This water, which houses photothermal heat, is said to dissolve those touched]
[Attribute: Blue]
Liquid stuck in a yellow bottle.
It doesn't even look like a potion at first glance, but the yellow light is always bright in the bottle, a substitute for it as if it were a living carbonated juice.
This is an item that was born by combining "Fine Water" and "Yellow Dancing to the Sun (Soleil Yellow)", which consumed 10 bottles of "Water" and successfully converted to the top.
"Launch Fireworks (Small)" will be followed by the second attack item that I was able to create.
You can throw a bottle at it, do damage, or sprinkle it directly around to dissolve your opponent. User-friendly half-side, its effective range depends on the amount of liquid, so it is not wide.
And the next thing you can see is "Yellow of the Bad Eat (Belle Yellow)" pulled out of Tough Slime.
Such a 'yellow of bad eating (Belle Yellow)', but none of the materials were compatible and synthetic.
Besides, although the colors removed from the monster this time would work if they were colored on weapons and protective equipment with a 'shoot brush', there was nothing in the intertwined colors of sunlight that could grant a special effect.
It is also the current situation that makes it difficult to take advantage of all the materials.
"Best of all, I'm afraid I couldn't find the right ingredient to go with the 'Day and Golden Wheat (Cortana)' that seems rare, but I guess it's an achievement enough..."
I thought the vomited dialogue was the name break of an alchemist who, backwards, had obtained a color equivalent to gold, but even manipulated gold. Not in a hurry, I guess we should take it step by step, but regrettably, it's no different.
"Right, George..."
Send a heartfelt thanks to Okama for inspiring me to stay away from the alchemy shortage.
First, we could prove that the telescope is a very convenient piece of equipment. Let's just check the results this time.
Pulling the colors taken from the telescope out of the light cartridge was a very simple task compared to 'demonic demon mirrors' and 'old cameras'. Because it's good to just shake the cartridge, it doesn't take as long as a camera to synthesize photos and ink. I just didn't get to produce a metal ingot material like a demon mirror......
"If you say so, cooperation with Angel, Yu Ki... Dropper Skill Uh-huh..."
George also makes a nasty noise to me that really makes me think naughty.
Brilliant Sword (Arts) to acquire skills, and to complete it, you needed an itinerary called 'maturation' to leave it where it suits your skills.
Can't you find a 'mature' place for the 'Snow Dropper' skills that I and George created by multiplying each other?
They don't run out of troubles and challenges with each other.
You're not the only one who feels powerless.
"Haha. George and I are gonna have to work together."
Somehow, were you distracted? Because of the unexpected development, I feel like making the color black wolf in front of me is a good guy after all.
Whoa. Talk about being careless in front of an octopus, or feeling it.
"And George, are you sure today is a good day?
"Yeah. It's my Ron. Oh, that sounds like fun, oh... and I'm glad you invited me."
When I was able to generate the item from which the sunlight originated, I flew a friend chat with Mr. Announ to Mina. Because you might be able to get behind the stone tablet of a mysterious giant. And once the adventure had set out, I wanted to prepare for further battle forces, but I was also asked to gather in the face of hundreds of ridden nights such as Shaking Night (Koya), Yuki, Shizu Yayuchi, etc. And I told George about it, and he said, "How's it going everywhere?"
"It's okay! Either way, we don't have much time today."
George let his eyes wander into space, coloured by a dark shadow mascara only for a moment, whether it was any real or errand.
Otherwise, we will quickly make various alchemy items, potions and fireworks, and set up adventure support.
And I decided to meet Michelangelo at the famous' Tenchuan Deceptive Clockstand ', and I sent a friend chat to my friends.
This is the city where mercenaries (players) began their journey and is the largest city ever discovered.
The early city means that many mercenaries (players) who act as bases here have low levels or are mostly rushing out mercenaries (players).
"What am I supposed to do..."
Only today, however, there were mercenaries (players) with an agitated look that seemed to sweep the protracted and peaceful air. No, there were mercenaries (players) (...) lined up with sinister faces on the famous "Tenchuan Deceptive Clockstand" as a meeting place.
That number is estimated to be zah and hundreds won't go down.
"What do you guys think? Let me have your opinion."
At their heart are the only mercenaries (players) with a level of 7 or higher on this occasion. A member of the crowd formed of low-level mercenaries (players) who had one level pulled out but was therefore pushed halfway through the role of leader to tackle this emergency in a disintegrating manner.
One of the leaders in their role, a man named Traj, answered their question.
"... from the advance party that was sending us around 'Komgi Village' and 'Ine Village' to see how things were going, the village of Komgi contains reports that there are no anomalies"
This man, his gear is just clothed like a villager, so at first glance he's a poor minister but the level is high there. Moreover, the rubbed off nappy clothes he wears can only be obtained with a certain exclusive quest clearance reward, and can be magical defensive and expensive and valuable equipment.
"But Ine Village was the last to hear the message, 'When the village building is half-destructed from afar, and the number of massive monsters like never before'"
What he issued was not an answer to the question, but a status report.
And the mercenaries (players) who heard about it continued.
"Hey, when Michelangelo falls, what are you gonna do?"
"Earlier on the log, if you lose, the tax rate for Auction and Bounty Neck (Wonted) will go up, right?
"Assign it to the task of rebuilding the city, or a beginner bully. Operate!
"No, this is also a remedy for beginners. He said he'd earn some experience in this fight."
"The advance team and I had an average level of five, didn't we?
"They're outnumbered, and they have a lot of enemies."
"No matter how much, it's too high a hurdle to say a remedy for experience."
"That's right! Anyone strong enough for a friend? Let's call those guys for help in a friend chat."
"I just sent a message to a friend who plans to attend a 'ball' inside the royal castle, but whatever Michelangelo's tax rate is, I didn't know it was this way"
"I've been getting ready for the Ash King offense over there. I'm sorry, but we can't fight."
"The strong cannot be relied upon..."
Why do the mercenaries (players) gather in the peaceful and vibrant pioneer city of Michelangelo float like this?
What kind of monster appeared in large numbers?
When will you arrive here?
How do you say we put up a line of defense with the vast Michelangelo on defense target?
This log is all I have to get my head on.
But not all the mercenaries (players) who saw this left doubt. Yes, it's also true that it brought about two definite common perceptions.
One is that when the tax rate increases, the purchase of items, equipment, and materials becomes considerably stricter, and the taste of the products as the selling side naturally diminishes.
And the second is that you need to work with mercenaries (players) in the city to break the situation.
"You're telling me we can fight the operation perfectly."
"I don't know if I can do this anymore."
"It's going to be a loss."
"Another similar burst event, it's going to happen somewhere."
"Dude, if every single one of us doesn't step in here, you're gonna be plain tough on tax rate hikes and stuff"
"You can earn some experience, let's do it."
"If we can win, we're talking about, right? Despena by Monster Kill is too tight for XP Lost."
"Well, well, it's a game, and let's have some fun?
"This kind of thing is exciting."
"Let's call it solidarity."
"Michelangelo's only survival team in the Battle of the Ashes King," Silver Angel "also put together some highly skilled first-degree mercenaries (players) to create a cooperative attitude and fight!
"Angels or princesses?
"Yeah, yeah, they were amazing!
With all sorts of opinions flying around, I wondered what was wrong with these leaders of the rapid crowd, and they were silent about the reaction around them. But some of those leaders reacted picklessly to the word 'angel'. One is a man named Toraj who made an earlier reconnaissance report. Hearing the angel's name and having an uncontrolled grin, I can hear that he has more or less a fondness for the rumored figure. The other is an old wizard wearing a brown hood deep in his eyes and a long robe. An old man with a gracious and gentle laugh with 'whoa whoa', but the will to dwell in his eyes was quietly burning with a mindfulness close to worship and a dubious light thirsting for something. He also seems to have unparalleled feelings for those who become angels. And the two remaining, from the looks of it, are young people. But he is also a cautionary figure because of his reputation flowing to both: he gathers mercenaries (players) under the age of 15, beats them up, and uses whatever means he can, he is also the leader of the Mercenary Corps (Clan) "Lonely Wolf," a boy with an impressive sharp eye under his grey hair. The moment the name 'Angel' came up, he gave the look of a scuffled bitter bug, and then chuckled in a hunch and self-derision. Yes, Wolfe was spitting out some unspeakable emotion that was swirling around her chest like she was spitting something that was causing it.
In response to her statement 'Angel,' she shakes that twin tail slightly. What that means is, I guess I shook my head lightly in an unconscious manner to deduce where beautiful and tidy beauty was unconsciously distorted.
Anyway. I mean, all the leaders were known to be 'angels'.
Even while each leader is giving her thoughts, those who say it's just a game and log out, and I don't know what a mass of monsters are doing, I like to do it - and those who claim their freedom and break it up will be seen. The binding power of the mercenaries (players), who were gathered from a sense of crisis at one time, is nothing but a burning blade, which breaks apart in a hollow manner.
"Well, what do we do? It's time to set a policy. It's going to happen."
"That's right. Any good ideas from the young people?
One standing on the arrow as leader, Toraji opens his heavy mouth, and the oldest wizard throws a spoon (tsp) of the story to the young couple.
"Humph. It doesn't make sense to expect these guys to be proficient, collaborative, etc. You only have a collision from the front."
"You can't call that an operation. That's an operation! Oh, but I don't have any particular ideas."
Then, if you don't complain about my statement, Wolfe hits the girl next door with a pitiful gaze. In contrast, the blonde girl is smiling and staring at it.
"Right. I don't know what to say, but I think I agree with you, Wolfe. Is Ooga-sama an alternative?
Toraj pretends not to look at the young group that gives off a sinister atmosphere. And the old man, called Ooga, seems to enjoy the opposite of 'whoa, I don't want to be young' and the young man.
"We're the only ones who've been given a high level of responsibility. There's a handful of people who listen to us seriously."
"Humph. It's not funny how me and you are together."
Wolfe reacts hypersensitively to Traj's casual sigh.
Indeed, the lowest Lv in this member is Traj, who is currently 7 Lv. The next lowest is 11LV blonde girl Lily and the second highest level is 13LV, Wolfe. And the highest-ranking is the elderly Uga, which boasts the highest mercenary (player) level in the current clan clan called LV14.
That's why there was a verse where nature and decisiveness were left to Uga.
"Well, isn't that good? The key is to enjoy this accidental event.... However, depending on the number of enemies, it may be difficult to fight the war itself."
The leaders look around nature to what the old man has to say. The number of mercenaries (players) around them had fallen to the point where they were now about to cut a hundred.
Lily hates Wolfe in a thorny tone.
"Humph. If there's a mercenary (player) who makes a man out of burglary and fraudulent manipulation, sees him discover valuable items and treasures, or has a reputation for instantly cutting PT and attacking the thief demon Lily from behind, it doesn't even come together?
Then Wolfe also responds to her with a cool face.
Wolfe and Lily.
There are widespread negative reviews in both of them, but for that matter, they are valued in terms of the strategic and the strategic aspects of getting people out, so this is how they are held up as leaders of the group of elephants. Yesterday's enemies are a good thing to say with today's friends.
Toraj says' Oh man 'to such a child fight and spills a sigh of breath.
"... I wish I had an angel at a time like this"
Though a coincidence, he was remembering her work in the village of Comgi. A beautiful silver-haired girl who naturally brought people together and worked together under her (originally) and eventually led us all to complete the burst quest. It's because I thought of her in the back of my brain, crush.
But it wasn't Wolfe who reacted hypersensitively to its content, this time it was Lily's.
"Hey, Mr. Traj, it was, wasn't it!? Are you so fond of 'angels' and other girls being entertained?
Her eyes bore something a little different from hatred, but when pronouncing it 'angel' it contained a color of tap and scorn. That was so intense that everyone on this scene could guess.
"Well. He was a good kid, wasn't he?
Toraj makes his candid point, not even using Lily's attitude until it's easy to understand as a thing.
"Angel, what a woman in the skin of a good boy. Oh, no, no! You're making the mistake of getting laid because you look a little good while you keep your skills that you can't use alchemy! It's just a parasite."
"Hey, is that what you say? You're using your appearance as a weapon to catch the hentais."
To Wolfe's scratch, Lily turns that way.
As for her, she is still aware that there are parts of the same gender that are annoying her. The fact that "angels", who are just as good looking as they are and are only 3-4 years old, are spreading rumors that are the opposite of their own, touches me terribly. The truth is, you're just a woman eating stupid men, too. I honestly expose the black part, and even though I admit it cleanly, the guy who becomes an 'angel' hides his face and doesn't like being a good kid.
There's also a lot of outrage, but she really thought so.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
Girls' jealousy was a scary thing. Ooh. Blurring in my head, I was an old Ooga man who caught lips warmly, but I wasn't only laughing at Lily's eyes.
"Oh, Taro, thank you for inviting me"
"Thanks, Taro."
To my hanging voice, the glasses handsome shaking night and the soft handsome Evening Fai give me the usual response.
"To solve the mystery of the giant."
send a confident grin at Mama and her best friends.
"But you've never heard of anything further behind The Shallow Dream Cemetery."
"I thought it was just a graveyard with big bones."
"Ma, you mean Talo, right?
"I don't know what you're talking about."
With my breasts swollen with anticipation and anxiety, and greetings to my old friends there, I quickly introduce George, Mina, and Announ.
"Ahhh! You're about to have a ball, huh?  I know, it's going to be a good o-to-co. Wow. 
George sticks to pita shaking night or evening glow.
"Thank you for that verse. But I don't want you to get too close to the Lorigon..."
"Ha-ha-ha, thank you"
Mr. Announ seemed to care nothing in particular.
Against my friend like that, Evening Fai and Shaking Night were distancing themselves from just George and making him look a little more attractive. However, since we are going to be members of the adventure together, we have created a brilliant sales smile and said, 'Thank you!' And they bow down with their voices shut.
"So, Koo..."
I begged you to answer something that I was very concerned about earlier, and I complained at night with my gaze.
As a matter of fact, the mysterious beautiful boy they brought in was pouring a hot gaze on me. I don't even squirm my sticky eyes at flickering and Mina and Mr. Announ, but they have an overwhelmingly long time to look at me.
He has sassy blue hair cut short into Korean-style handsome styles. It's an area where you can't even take it off with a little granny hair, but the face is cute. Moreover, because he was smaller in height than the shaky night (Koya) and Yuki (Yuki), he was ideally suited, and at first glance he was a beautiful boy who seemed harmless to humans and animals.
"This time, Shiz can't get in for real."
And I don't know what to say instead, and I put my hand on a sassy mysterious beautiful boy at night with a foreboding.
"This way, my friend."
Evening Fai introduces him with a warm voice.
"RF4-you, dude"
Earl, you pinned your spine and put your heels together beautifully to me when I couldn't help but overhear the words I wasn't used to hearing. Then he posed for a salute and started introducing himself aloud.
"The dwarf's name is RF4-you! In the future, we will be lining up with you on the battlefield, but since you are a young man, thank you for your teaching!
I wonder what......
This ready-made sense of vision.
RF4-you look back at me with a serious but confused eye for my inquiry.
I put my mouth to your ear at night and ask you a question that I am a little sure you will answer.
"Maybe, that, Yuji?
Somehow it can be seen from the tone, the atmosphere of the military ota. And Yuji, a classmate of unparalleled beautiful girl animation lovers.
"Come on, that's his character clip masterpiece. Why did you make such a beautiful boy?" I feel the laughing voice of the night (Koya) go through my right ear to my left ear, while I fall into the illusion of sweat flowing like a waterfall from all over my body.
Yuji and I are real, yesterday at a convenience store, in this figure, we are encountering in this silver-haired girl Talo figure.
What an excuse to make.
There's no way Evening Fai realizes my inner rush like that, and I buy a facilitator to get out as if I were going to lead everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have another member on this adventure to attend. A man named Yuruchi who belongs to the same mercenary regiment (clan) as us. She's on her way to the" Ten Sphere Watch Stand "as planned, so let's move over there."
Still staring at Yuji, I hide behind Mina so I can escape from RF4-you.
Now that I have online friends around, even if Yuji had introduced me in advance to my classmate Shintaro from Shaking Night and Evening Fai... you can't mention it in manners.
If we don't work out something early, it's not what catastrophe we'll develop into.
If you don't do something about it, and try to calm down the feeling of stuffiness, the journey to the heavenly ball entrusted watch stand where Yuri waits.
