Blade Online

To be honest, I'm pretty much the type to hold onto roots. No, we may all know, but I said it for once. I've come to this world somewhat, I think I could have grown up just a little bit, but they haven't changed much about the personality I have in my roots.

I think you'll know why I suddenly mentioned this as soon as you ask me what I'm doing now.

My relationship with Gallon has recovered since the end of the Event. No, I might say we've gotten closer together than before. Exchange by message, the two of us dive into the offensive area and look for rare items, or have dinner at Lynn's. Anyway, the two of us started to get tight a lot. It's like a real life friend. Well, Gallon belongs to the offensive team, and since he seems to be the master of the guild, it doesn't mean he plays every day. Still, we met for a day or so every few days. But apparently some people didn't feel comfortable about my relationship with Gallon like that.

They've been working with the gallons since the Breon start. They said they couldn't trust me when we met and refused to join the party. Well, it's not that I don't have anything to think about it, but I'm done talking about it, and I wasn't going to say anything to them about it. No, really.

Me and Gallon were back fishing in the sea area in an area.

I love sulmon, and I've caught squid that serves as an ingredient for gallons and large quantities of sulmon to taste with mayonnaise topped with seven spicy chili peppers.

"You look like a jerk even so. I can't believe you like sulume."

"No, no, no, no. The Docpe + Sulme combo is the best."

I used to bake and eat at home. Every time, he was angry at me because I smelled like crap. I don't understand. Hey, you like that smell. That squid smell. No, not in a weird way.

"Well, I do like sultry, too, and I like cheetahs and beef jerky. He's not the only one named Dokupe. That's not a human drink. That nose is about to bend. It's called the smell of medicine, it's called that unspeakable taste, it's not there."

It was a non-listenable statement.

"What...? You fool Hadokpe! Give me that ultimate and supreme intellectual beverage, Docpe!

"No, no, no. That tastes more like a fool if you drink it."

"You think it tastes like you're going to be stupid...? Say it a hundred more times!

"No, how many times are you gonna make me say it?"

What a time I was walking around the city in conversation. A stranger accidentally stood in front of us. No, I don't know, like I've never seen him anywhere, he was such a man.

"Kaiba......"

The man turned to me as the executive of the gallon's launched guild Burning Fire, and he was like, "You can't be trusted." He says his name is Nokaiver. The gallons seem to be called Kaiba, so I decided to call them Kaiba, too.

Kaiba said this, staring at me.

"That's enough. Come on, Gallon. If you have time to get involved with someone you don't know how to handle, help me level up my guild's newcomers."

"... Kaiba. It's supposed to be my free day."

"Don't tell me Gilmouth is so irresponsible."

"... you know, when we started the Fiery, we decided to make it a free guild, because it's Gilmouth, or because it's an executive. Sure, we're a part of the offensive team, but we have a good schedule for that, don't we? And you need to take a breath once in a while."

Yes, Gallon said it, but Kaiba doesn't seem convinced to go, turning his dislike to Gallon and calling him Netineti.

"Uh, was that Mr. Kaiba? I don't know the rules or anything because I'm not in The Flames, but when I hear what you're saying right now, it's a good day to set gallons free, right? Then isn't that how you say it?

"Huh. You know, I was wondering if outsiders would shut up. This is what happened to you in the first place, so make me feel a little sorry."

Yeah. This is already annoying.

"Hey, you. Come on. -"

Gallon tries not to say that, but I was kicked out by Kaiba's unsolicited way of saying it.

"Uh, that's it - I did it with Mr. Kaiba. If that's what you're saying, let's duel with me. If I lose, I'll try not to get too involved with the gallon. Instead, if I win, a gallon means hanging out the way I've always been."

Saying so, Kaiba shuts her mouth like she was frightened. Oh, my God. I'm winning the Event, and I'm beating a gallon on the way. You must have noticed.

"It's easier to decide with a duel than with a gutsy mouth, right? I've been fishing fast, and I want Lynn to make me a slime."

"It's..."

"Or don't you like dueling with me? Well, I guess I can't help it. 'Cause I'm third in the Event. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

What can I say, Kaiba came on board. These guys have seen a lot in real life. I've seen it all over the classroom, the Kendo club where I belonged. This kind of guy is angry as soon as he doesn't do what he wants, angry when he's told the truth, angry when he's told something by the person he's looking down on. Those are the ones.

I've spent as much time as I can in real life trying to go peacefully so as not to defy them. I've been observing things like how not to break my mood. That's why I know how to incite it.

Ma, in this case, it's so simple, you don't have to be me to be able to deal with them.

"I'm in good shape. I don't know if I won the prize, but I didn't mean it."

"So can we just mean we're going to duel?

"Naturally."

That brings me and Kaiba to a duel.

――――――――――――――――

The duel was to take place in the middle of the city. The players who came to visit the duel surround us. I haven't even started a duel yet. What's this number...

In addition to the gallons of frightened faces among the wild horses, there were also several players I found out about, including Lynn, who had thrown out the store when I heard she was going to duel, and Katana, who had not even called but came from somewhere. Drua, the executive of The Light That Illuminates, snorts into it. How the hell did I hear about dueling? Drua's next door. He's talking to some kind of masked brunette, but is she a member of the guild, too? The masked woman feels like someone who looks very familiar with what she is, but Kaiba has been talking to her, so she switches her mind.

"Hey, duel mode is good for HP"

It's a mode of fighting until HP reaches 0, which naturally won't kill you.

"Oh, that's fine"

Kaiba's weapon is a spear. Don't remind me of when I duelled the void for bad chest feces. I lost then, but shall I let you go with the intention of smashing it this time?

And the duel began.

Kaiba was, well, just an executive of the guild in the offensive group, and he had the strength there. The void was in the style of finding the opponent's gaps and attacking them all at once, but Kaiba is in the style of fiercely attacking them without worrying about the gaps.

At the same time as the duel began, Kaiba has pounced out his spear with fierce momentum as he screamed out his temper. Back off and dodge it, Kaiba won't allow it. He'll pack up and attack soon.

Hmmm...... the spear that can attack while still taking some distance from the opponent is troublesome. But, well, there's no reason why it can't just be trouble.

I lower my posture and move on. I dive into my nostrils as I feel Kaiba's protruding spear plunder my hair, slapping a kick at my empty stomach. There will be no pain because of the barriers, but Kaiba groans. Hook more legs there and knock them to the ground.

I wish I could attack normally without doing this, but I'm the type to hold it in my roots, so it's harassment.

"What's up?

When I say that like I made a fool of myself as I looked down at the fallen Kaiba, I slip back and gently avoid it because he speared at me against my leg.

Meanwhile, Kaiba stood up.

"Don't be a fool!

Activate some kind of skill and come into it. Sounds like a one-shot thrust skill to me. Hmm. I knew the void was harder to do than this guy. Powerfully, I do think this guy is pretty good too. In fact, you must be strong because you're a member of the offensive group. But that's what happens when you get tired of dealing with monsters. Monsters and players fight differently. You fought many powerful men in the "Events" battle, but you were too used to fighting monsters and it was hard. I'm used to it to some extent. This guy had lost his cool since the battle began. I know sometimes anger works positive, but now it works negative.

It's like the battle is already here at a time when it's being observed by me like this.

I guess a lot would have changed again if Kaiba had settled down and tried to fight me in a calm state. I'm the one who stirred it up.

Well. The depression was also refreshed when I just knocked it down.

So,

"I'm tired of this."

Cut Kaiba out of his head before the spear catches me.

"Ugh."

Kaiba falls to the ground again.

It seemed like Kaiba's HP went to zero in one blow when Cut Sky went into Moro. What a toothless battle. The wild horses around him cheer for having settled.

"... bad"

Surprisingly, he apologized to Kaiba after the duel. I thought I could be angry and cursed or I'd walk away without saying anything...

"I said too many frustrating and unsolicited things. I'm sorry I didn't know what to say."

That's what Kaiba's been saying. I didn't know what to do for a moment, but I decided to apologize because I had a problem with it.

"No... I didn't say anything to provoke you either."

That's what I'll keep my head down too.

"So this case is solved? Kaiba, I'll try to work for the Alliance as much as I can."

That's what Gallon put together at the end.

Then me, Gallon and Kaiba told Lynn's shop to make some sulmea, and the three of us ate it deliciously. Kaiba has been treating me with a completely different attitude, as if nothing had happened earlier. I don't think the way you treat me is like saying you're trying to get along to avenge me.

"Even so, I'm strong...... He was killed instantly."

"That's Akatsuki taking me down. Damn, duel with me next time! I'll win next."

"I can't stay losing, either! Be strong, and I'll win next!

……

Then the three of us talked a lot and thought, but apparently Kaiba was really thinking about the guild. He wants to make his guild stronger and keep his own people from dying. Speaking of which, you did hear at the time of the event about a large number of fellow gallons dying...

The perception that he's a self-absorbed jerk seems to have to be changed. Easy to get hot, but a conditioner of fellowship. Is that what it looks like? Besides, after the duel with me, I admitted that I was wrong, unlike the selfish people I know. I don't know, I felt like an adult. Well, I can't say that rampage looks like an adult, but the speed with which you switch after you calm down isn't like those guys.

Because of this, Kaiba seems to be 23 years old. Older than me. Though it feels challenging.

Will the selfish guys I've seen be like Kaiba when they grow up too? Or did Kaiba originally have this adult aspect?

I don't know which one, but what I can tell you now is that Sulme is delicious in the virtual world.

Message with the Xu that night.

"Looks like you had a duel today."

"Oh, a little bit."

"Really?"

"Oh."

Why are you emailing me like this every time...
