Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

After finishing lunch, we log into the game and talk about the event together. First of all, Ruin-san asks me.

"You're not participating in the event, are you, Takuto-kun?"

"There's no point in participating, you know"

『Eh』

Lily and the others look disappointed, but dueling doesn't have a good image in the first place. Give up.

"This event has a lot of hidden agendas from the admins"

"Yeah. In addition to hunting for newbies, they're also encouraging assassinations"

"Assassination?"

The conversation between Yoichi-san and Mangetsu-san brought up some ominous words. And then Arleigh explains it to me.

"Assassination is the act of deliberately placing a player in a low position in a ranking event and at the end of the event, the player will score high points to overtake the leader"

Hee. It's an act of letting your guard down and then kicking it off at once. But if it's a strategy, it can't be wrong. The two of them explained again.

"This time, players with higher ranks can't refuse duels from players with lower ranks. They are inevitably leading to assassinations"

"There is a way to avoid logging in, but the risk of assassination is still high. As a result, you'll have to keep winning against players of the same rank or higher"

It's severe, but I guess that's the way it should be. Then Risa asks me.

"Does Nii-chan know what professions or combinations are advantageous in solo and tag team?"

"I don't have any data, so I don't know. In my opinion, there is no such thing as a solo or tag team advantage"

Even I can fight in melee. You can't have an advantage and disadvantage at the same time.

"Still, aren't there professions you care about?"

Mel asked me and I answered honestly.

"Well, yeah. I'm thinking that ninja might be a good choice"

Ninja lacks strength and defense, but has the best speed of all classes, long range attacks with ninjutsu and entanglement techniques.

It would be troublesome to turn it into an enemy. I know what a nuisance it can be when I fought Karasuma Tengu.

"Indeed...how about a combination of tags?"

"That would be a match made in heaven"

It's a good idea to have a ninja-only speedy party that's strong against one-hit killers like mages and archers, but not good against balance types like knights or self-healing, self-reinforcing fighters.

Balance types will be weak against power types like heavy warriors and power types will be weak against one-hit kill types.

The key will be what strategy to use to clear these advantages and disadvantages.

Then Rook asks me.

"What will happen to a summoner?"

"Well, summoners will be the first to be targeted without having to deal with them"

"That's right...what should we do?"

Then Tyrol drops a bomb.

"Who would you team up with, Takuto-san?"

The girls are super responsive. But if I were to team up, my answer would be obvious.

"I think it would be Ix"

『Eh~!?』

"You're right. Master"

As everyone is surprised, Chiffon says.

"I thought you were going to team up with Lily-chan or Ion-chan"

I'm sure that's what most people would think.

"I can fight with Lily and the others, but with the rules this time, the wave motion system and dragonification are at a disadvantage. But Ix can use her special moves as many times as she wants and her equipment is well balanced"

The players were convinced. Lily and the others couldn't possibly be convinced.

I didn't dare to tell them this, but Ix has the link skill that allows her to read my thoughts and copy my swordsmanship.

That's what made me think that Ix was the best choice. Well, I can't participate anyway.

Then Mel muttered.

"We need to actually duel and try things out"

It's true, you can't know everything until you try it.

"Why don't you make a duel facility anyway? We have the space in the basement"

"Eh!? Is it okay!?"

"Isn't that a good idea? I'm sure there will be more events like this in the future, so I think it's a good idea to build one while we still have time"

So it was decided to build a dueling facility in the basement.

Start creating immediately. The first thing we did was to make a floor plan and gather everyone's opinions. I asked them to keep the place where Sephone had been.

After that, Ruin and the others took the lead in creating the building based on the completed plans. For the time being, the four sides were completed, but after looking at them, Ruin said,

"We've gone too far..."

"Well, when you hear about a duel field, it's almost like this, right?"

I said this as a follow-up, but it looked exactly like the anime battlefield I saw when I was a kid.

Well, it's nice to fight on a field from an old anime. Mel and the others immediately tried to use it.

"Takuto! Lily wants to try it too!"

"I want to try it too, but I don't have a weapon"

"Don't worry about it! Yes!"

Yug-san handed me a wooden sword.

"You're ready..."

"Actually, we sold a lot of wooden swords at the beginning. These are leftovers!"

I didn't want to hear such information, but I paid for it and we had our first battle in a while.

"Uwaah! Takuto beat me in power!"

I realized after the battle with Lily that status points are out of the range of the despena.

As a result, it was a fresh match that resulted in a power victory over Lily.

I was completely in my favor, but Ion, Koihi, Ix and Bran still fought me and released the stress of the current situation where I couldn't fight.

"I now understand the hardships you've been through, Takuto-san"

"Me too. It's a great handicap to be outclassed in power and speed"

Ion and Koihi are usually faster and more powerful than me, so I'm sure they have a lot to learn.

"Lily, Ion, Koihi...do you remember the Dark Summoner?"

Wako reacted to my words. I felt bad, but I had to tell them. Of course Lily and the others remembered.

"Lily has had an advantage in terms of status until now, but monsters will become stronger and enemies like him will come. This is a good opportunity for you to think about how you would fight when you are weak"

『Uh (Yes)!』

Lily and the others replied cheerfully. Everyone who was watching it ridiculed me. I was asked for special training, but I refused.

I've got my hands full with the girls and it's not something I can teach them very well.

Before I knew it, it was dinner time, so I logged out. In the evening, we finally got the news that the new Lieblich had been completed.

We all went to take a look and found that the three-story store I had chosen was complete.

I immediately checked the inside and found that the first floor was in the style of a fantasy bar, the second floor in the style of a coffee shop, the third floor in private rooms and the rooftop in the style of a beer garden.

It looked perfect, just as I had ordered. I can't thank the carpenters enough. We decided to open the store tomorrow.

Today, while I was cleaning up the area around Freetia, I was approached by someone I had missed.

"It's been a while. You're very energetic"

"Shallow-san! It's been a while since I've heard from you"

Shallow-san was a fisherman I had become friends with on the old island. He fishes on a one-toward basis and sometimes emails me to tell me what he's caught.

Naturally, I've been sharing information about the monsters I've encountered in the sea with him.

"Actually, I participated in the event support at Freetia. I just provided the ingredients"

It seems that he made a lot of money by providing the fish.

"So I bought a full-fledged boat and enjoyed sea fishing with my friends today, would you like to join us tomorrow if you like?"

"Are you sure!?"

"Of course, but could I have the line for the fishing rod instead of paying for it?"

It looks like sea fishing is pretty tough. However, if Aranea's line can turn a boring day into a day of sea fishing, I'm all for it.

I paid for the line in advance and parted ways with Shallow-san to meet him at Freetia tomorrow evening.

After that, I asked Setia to make fishing rods and also asked Wako to make Loco Moco clothes for Lily and the others. After finishing the purification and production work, I log out.

When I returned to reality, I studied for my test and decided to go to bed.
