Log Horizon

Fifty bells climbed about twenty centimetres of steps, holding a lute over his chest, which was about to rush out. Mindfully and slowly, he meets his partner Toya today as he is torn apart by the annoyance of being a cat's back and the occasions when he is likely to be stuck out. When Toya grinned and smiled, she had greeted her with a gentle kick of an impromptu drum set bracketed with cans and boxes.

Fifty bells. Fifty bells themselves seem invincible. I hold a little lute with a smile on my face. This is Ann Dee Floyd, a spirit play lute created by Marielle and modified by the Roderick Chamber of Commerce.

If you looked through the store on a tiny, tiny stage, it was a space of ten meters square. It is one of the many restaurants (Bloom Hall) on Central Avenue in the city of Akiba.

The abandoned buildings around here, which were originally only ruins, were the subject of experimental remodeling by IOM and were in the hands of the Adventurers. This store has been renovated several times since then and is now owned by the Seventh Heartbeat. Many of the staff who run the store itself are the "earthlings". Many of the Adventurers are too busy to get involved in store operations and clerical work. The city of Akiba is now dominated by merge-owned stores such as Symbiosis.

The country style store was luxuriously lit with magic lights.

When fifty bells bow their heads in that light, there is a great applause.

Will there be about seventy seats? That's almost full.

A candy table on a disappointing sofa with canvas, a wall tucked menu, and a handwritten schedule of events all over the place.

It is a shop that was conceived and created by the Adventurers and the Earthlings who set themselves up in the city of Akiba. Like the original world, there is no such thing as efficiency priority architecture or general, no difficulty interior. Every guild hall, residence, and store is made by hand.

Accommodating a cluttered atmosphere, the shop operates in a halfway between a restaurant, fast food and a live house, with as many stages as a small veranda. I know it's a "liquor store" when it comes to fantasy novels, but Akiba's "Adventurer" doesn't drink as much as the adventurer in that hand piece. In one way or another, more emphasis is placed on eating than drinking. This shop has a bright vibe, reflecting that trend.

Looking across the store like that and trying to diminish the tension at all, Fifty Bells finds some discerning faces in the guest seats to prepare them.

It's good to be nervous.

If that makes you feel fun, you should be able to do better.

Fifty bells sounded the first sound thoughtfully.

It wasn't until before the performance started that I thought about it. Then I know I feel like I'm starting.

The time I got is six songs. Its length of thirty minutes is long enough that any dream is likely to come true and short enough to end in three blinks.

What seems to jump out of my throat is the sound of a fifty bell heart rushing too much fun and anticipation.

Fifty bells scattered eight-minute notes (octopus jacuzzi) in the air, smiling at the beat that seemed to perfectly match the rhythm of the drum that Toya kicked.

The production-grade item "Amber Dragon Claws" I got from Siloe slips over the string. It's not Lute's original method, but this is going to be a more flashy performance. It's like going around a skating rink, and I think Fifty Bells is in a corner of my head.

Joy pushes me like a wave.

Whenever a tightly strung string is stirred, its resistance and vibration stains from fingertip to wrist. It was a bouncing stimulation that made the starting carbonated water hundreds of times stronger. It is a joy for the Fifty Bells.

The fact that there is an instrument in both hands, that's all, makes the cheeks of the fifty bells sloppily loose. The instrument responds to the demands of the Fifty Bells. Lute spun a beautiful riff at the request of fifty bells. Now it's the fiftieth bell's turn.

Feeling like a birthday greeting, Fifty Bells puts the first thing on her lips.

My voice, which is supposed to be mediocre with no weirdness whatsoever, sounds better in the store than I thought. It's a raw voice because it's this world without electrical loudspeaking technology. Still, it was enough to fill this not big store.

Fifty bells always make me feel very strange. Would my voice have been this tone, just a country high school girl like anywhere else?

It's only natural that fifty bells have started playing here for the past month. It is a number of stage experiences that can fit with one hand even if counted, and there can be no similar experience in the suburban hometown where I lived in the wake of the catastrophe. At best a karaoke box like a container along a main road with vacant land and fields all around it knows.

So I'm surprised, as every time, that my own voice is so sweet and stretchy.

But it is also just one breath, two minutes.

It is swallowed up by a flood of sounds with both thoughts and hesitations.

Trembling like a hoe. The arm moves to chop, squeezing his voice with a frightening trembling throat.

There's no way, it was a rock number that could have been Earth.

It's a song I remember in my father's collection, heard from when I was a little girl.

Leaving the song familiar to his ears to the torn momentum, Fifty Bells played and sang. With the aura of the "Bard" with fifty bells, Toya is striving for the drums, but there are no other instruments. In the common sense of the original world, it is a small-scale stage of organization that cannot even be described as a band.

But such an apology was also pointless before the joy of gushing up like a summer entrance cloud.

Fifty bells are singing on the stage of fifty bells.

That was a much more vivid and inspiring experience than the fifty bells had ever imagined.

In the light of the magic light, fifty bells became something not fifty bells. There will be no more high school girls with thin, undulating bodies and hairy hair. Become the fiftieth bell of the Bard (Torbador), which rings a lute with a confident, radiant smile.

The joy of being able to play brought clear vision to the fifty bells.

In a perfectly good seat, various people looked at the fifty bells.

Everyone is laughing.

A familiar store manager Dwarf tied his big mouth to the letter to, and still rhythmed with his toes looking fun. Fifty bells feel like giving back and lute each body to deliver the sound of F like an arch.

Nyata and Serara at the counter are watching the stage as they turn around. Serara with a cheek like a fire, a smile like a watchful nymph too. Serara was really cute shaking her little fist in front of her chest. She is the most B-female girl I know of fifty bells. Relax, gentleman. Nyata seems to be rocking her silver beard and enjoying playing slowly.

Two soft atmospheres pour into the fifty bells to give Lute even more radiance.

The first song was over. Most of them in the store beat me to the table in conjunction with the drums. It was fun. The fifty bells are now in the tummy of the bass drum. The store was one percussion instrument. Fifty bells go around having fun. Chasing the tail of the offering in his sight, Fifty Bells took a heartbeat to jump at his ankle.

I can't hang up. Will the happiness of the Fifty Bells be conveyed to everyone?

Appreciate the lute spinning the exact phrase nonetheless in the dizziness of teasing. This lute is a partner of fifty bells.

It was this lute that the Fifty Bells, who opened up from Harmeln but didn't know what to do, found in the March Alliance. Marielle, the guild master who was a "woodworker," said it was an item he used to make. I've modified it with my hands everywhere, so there's no shadow in the beginning, but it's certain that this lute has healed the loneliness of otherworldly exile.

Fifty bells and lute were no longer united.

In the life of this world, where there is no school or club, the life of the Fifty Bells has no choice but to do guild chores, hunt with fellow men or play lute.

In this world of no tv, no webs, no wires, no movies, if you want to hear music, you just have to squeal your lute.

At the tip of the ribbon-tinged cable that stretches from his comforting partner, a similar spirit echoes the young man. It's a spirit that picks vibrations from Lute's torso and magnifies them. It was the idea of the Roderick Chamber of Commerce, which modified the low-level item "Seashell of Seylane" to allow for subpoena summons. The archaeological instrument lute, which originally had a delicate and graceful tone, evolved into a mysterious instrument that, with its ingenuity, increased the width of expression at once. But Fifty Bells loves a partner like that.

Magic lights with gaze blinked and smiled nicely.

I forgot. Thanks.

With that feeling in mind, Fifty Bells nodded.

What song is it now? I'm not sure because of the teasing. I think I did three or four songs.

Hot bodies are going to fly somewhere. I can't even feel the shards of fatigue because the feathers seem to have grown.

Could this also be due to increased health by becoming an Adventurer?

I feel a little different about that, too.

It's more like having a cable on the back of a fifty bell and more and more energy from it. To the sound of a kick carving a beat, to the sound of a footstep filling the store, it was a ferociously wild avalanche-like joy. Fifty bells crashed a cheerful and silly rock number. It's the oldies from your father's collection.

Fifty bells thought it wouldn't be a good performance.

Either way, Fifty Bells has no musical talent.

That was the fifty bell my father told me about dozens of times and I grew up with.

Fifty Bells is a mass-produced rural high school girl. The instrument is only to the extent that it can play a bit at the school festival, and the song is karaoke level after school. Neither of them had a professional education, and I can't say anything about a musician's father.

But that's why such circumstances were irrelevant at this glorious moment, just now.

Joy is not emotion.

It's not such an ambiguous thing, it's a clean, real energy.

This force of colorless transparency, which is usually invisible or untouched, sleeps in everyone. Among the fifty bells, among the towers, among the Nathai and the Selara, among all the people who have gathered now in this store.

It's overflowing and pouring onto the stage, connected to fifty bells, letting Lute play. So, talent doesn't really matter. Fun, happy, and everyone's happy is proof of that.

Beside the entrance to the store, furthest from the fiftieth bell, I saw a golden glow.

He dyed his cheeks like he was excited. This prince was waving his arms at the fiftieth bell.

Just looking at it, Lute the Fifty Bells crossed the limit so lightly.

Filled with feelings I don't know why, the fifty bells gave up their cheeks, which were about to loosen, and laughed loudly, plunging their teeth out and sprinkling Lute's neck like a reward. It's illuminating, embarrassing, and I can't help it. I think I'm going to be flooded with pink notes.

The next number will be in such a good mood to blow everything away, too.

He is Lundelhaus-Cord's favorite sloughballad, an ally and colleague of the Fifty Bells and exclusive luggage handler and walker's escort and prince.

I have no choice but to reward Rudy with this song.

Fifty bells thought so and took a deep breath.

In the glow of a soft, squeezed magic light after reading the air, Fifty Bells began to sing the next song.

Even today, it was a more special performance.

◆

"Is it a little warm tonight?"

"Yes, Mrs. Nanna"

I walked out of the store for a little while and still showed a secluded face on Akiba night.

This world, where radio and cable broadcasting do not exist, this other world, where there are not even cars or railroads, has nothing to do with the hustle and bustle of the city. Unless it's a festival like the Libra Festival, but at a time when February is just beginning, the city at night is secluded because the morning and evening chills are still tight.

Five of the fifty bells, Lundelhouse, Toya, Nata and Serara, who left Bloomhall, were on their way back to the guild with a smile.

Milky lights are lit all over the boulevard, but the line was further ahead of Lundell House's "Magic Light".

We were all in a good mood.

Lundelhaus, who walks in the lead, talks to Towya as excited as he is.

Serara and Chan seem to have a lot of fun. Fifty bells follow in fluffy happiness.

Thoya and Lundelhaus have big baggage, but the Fifty Bells just hold Lute in their chests. Just walking down the street. Everyone wears it everyday today, and I don't have a weapon. By the time I entered the Horizon of Records, I had less personal clothes and belongings in my restless life, which lasted from the Catastrophe, but now I have more everyday clothes, thanks to the fact that I also got a room at the Alliance House. If you think about it, it's been six months since the defense of the town of Choushi.

"Miss Fifty Bells. Are you okay? Are you tired?

"Wow. I'm so energetic!

Lundelhaus looks back worried about the fifty bells he was slowly walking.

They misled me.

Fifty bells just wanted to stare at everyone in a filled mood.

"Suppose I go home to the Alliance House before my body gets cold."

"I'm hungry too!

Nyantai and Toya interact like that and cross one small intersection.

All my companions walking the road at night had a serene look on their faces.

Both Lundell House and Fifty Bells are now completely familiar with the Horizon of Records.

The Horizon of Records is a calm and cozy guild. Even Minori, who is not here, became completely best friends with the Fifty Bells. I even feel like I've been dating a healthy, serious younger friend for years now. So does Serara. I also loved fifty bells about her smiling like a melt next to Chan Tai.

Lundelhaus, the fifty bell ally, also loosened the tenacious look he was showing in "LaGranda's Du". Lundelhaus and Towya still became friends as a group of young men. It's really noisy when you two are together. Fifty Bells found out that men's mental age decreases when they act in groups.

He also became gradually closer to the elderly groups of guilds such as Shiloe and Nyantai, direct successors and Akatsuki.

Nyata was the oldest of friendly guilds. Calm, fashionable dandy, the guild's kitchen was his realm. There was a young group who grabbed a steep spot called the stomach.

The direct line is a young man who has come to understand gradually through Touya and Lundelhaus. Fifty Bells thinks he's a surprisingly attentive person, although he's an elderly moodmaker who always turns the story back. If there is anything wrong with the interior or equipment of the guild, it is best to consult the direct line.

These days, direct line and towya, Lundelhaus (and sometimes Nyantai), seem to grow something of a man's friendship. He said it was a special training. It's kind of childish, but Fifty Bells and Minori pretend not to look at it. Lundelhaus and Towya followed the direct line and went out here and there, often returning muddy with a slight laugh. Minori and Fifty Bells prepare to bathe each time with a bitter laugh.

Akatsuki was a quiet, spicy, enigmatic woman. People often respond when they talk to each other about getting acquainted. Sometimes I thought the Fifty Bells were a little bad at the very beginning of joining the Alliance. But the truth is, I have a kind, hidden sense of humor. I love laundry and cleaning, and I have a habit of sneaking around on a massive scale without borrowing manpower. If sheets all over the guild were tucked over the veranda in a gap that took my eyes off, that was the job Akatsuki did.

Since the beginning of the year, it was a therapeutic cleric named Hatora who participated in The Horizon of Records. Fifty bells were embraced from the first encounter like an uncle. It's not just fifty bells. Everyone but Akatsuki, who has lost his temper. The bustling Torah is bright and quickly becoming the moodmaker of the Alliance.

On the other hand, it was Siloe the Alliance Master who was not sure for a long time.

I don't see anything amazing about it being blurry during a regular meal or handing out condiments and small plates to everyone. I feel so tired napping on the couch in the living room. When cleaning, buying out, etc., "go to your room because it's useless", etc., they are treated in an evil way by direct line carriers and acorns.

When I heard rumors in the streets, there was no such thing as poor eyesight, an evil schemer, a demon holding Akiba's number of lives, or a mastermind for a round-table meeting. I agree that bad eyesight, Fifty Bells, but hey, isn't that an overbought rating? Few things I think.

If that's all, then still, according to the valve of Minori, my best friend, who has been dating Shiloe longer than Fifty Bells, Shiloe is a really good young man. My admiration for being gentle, caring, intelligent, gentleman, capable of anything - that's all I've been told.

It's like a figure so disjointed that three different types of siloes are emerging on a daily basis.

Among the fifty bells, I found out a little about Shiloe, inspired by a phrase I asked Chan Tai one day, "Shiloe is the eldest son's disease." Shiloe is incredible to the Fifty Bells, and it is beyond common sense that he is a hard-working man. And although there are areas where people show tremendous talent, they are also clumsy in other respects, I think Fifty Bells.

After only a few understandings about Shiloe, Fifty Bells can honestly support Minori.

That's how the Horizon of Records and the Fifty Bells slowly got along, and time went on.

Fifty bells think that every day is a forceful thing.

Even if you don't, humans are hungry in the morning, noon, and evening.

If you're hungry, you need rice, and you have to get ready for it. The Horizon of Records is home to Nanta, who has a subposition as a cook, but that's why it can't be a good idea to push everything to prepare meals.

Preparing meals in this world is heavy labor in the first place. It's not like the original world is full of convenient cut vegetables, seasonings and instant foods. Preparing a single meal can easily be a day's work if you try to cook a little elaborate, and buying ingredients isn't going to be delivery in an online supermarket.

It is unhealthy to throw such a heavy labor round Nyataichi. In the Horizon of Records, it was decided that breakfast was an all-you-can-eat meal without having to cook, and a "Nyantai Team Leader's Day Off" was created twice a week.

It is a common concern in every guild that it takes time to prepare meals, and the most visible store in Akiba is the food and beverage system. There are many fixers and juice stores where you can stop by and eat and go. Is it because it's a city where gamers come together? There are many restaurants serving dishes that also fall into the belly, followed by confectioners, take-out snacks, and stalls. There are only a few fashionable stores or super luxury stores that can be used for dating.

There have been many shops selling vegetables since the beginning, but since the Eighth Mall led the creation of the stall village and even built the mall under the guard of the abandoned Akiba station, it has become safe to buy various flavors.

They buy vegetables at such stores and dine out at Alliance members for "Chief Nyantai Holiday".

It was from Snowfel that such eating out habits changed only slightly.

Fifty bells were scouted on the edge of playing jump in at Bloom Hall and started playing small concerts like they do today at a rate of about once a week.

The ability of the Bard does not correct or improve performance or singing. But "adventurers" without "bards" or similar subpositions are restricted by their musical talents. No matter how well you play, there's a chance that the pitch will pop out automatically.

For sub-positions such as "The Princess of Singing", it means that a good song can be sung depending on the practice of the person and that he/she will not be pulled off his/her feet due to his/her ability limitations. Since the lifting of restrictions by the "bard" extends to the surrounding human beings, when the fifty bells take to the stage, rhythm and sub-instruments are often asked of the tower, the minnoli and the serara. Wow, this prince is mainly a supporter because he unfortunately did not have musical aptitude in person.

"I wish Minori could have come too"

"Yes, sir."

"I can't help it. Minori, I have a part-time job."

"Was it at Mr. Karasin's?

"Miss Minori is a professional lady."

"hahaha"

"But it should be over soon, right?"

"Aren't you coming home with Brother Siloe?

The heart sounds that were soaking and soaring in the swirls of sound slowly return to normal, soothed by the conversations of fellow walkers in front. It was accompanied by loneliness as dreams left and still indelible happiness.

(I can't be a pro like your father, but enough to pull a lute with the occasional worry, right)

There's one thing that got me thinking when I went up on stage.

Fifty Bells says he liked music a lot more than he thought he would. Love and caress the lute in both arms. The torso is a resonant part of the body as if it had been deflected. Fifty bells I was in charge of the wood base, but I thought the lute had the same delicacy and old-fashioned style not found in the wood base.

(Uh-huh)

The wood base I used to use is mass-produced (but surprisingly expensive for a high school girl's fifty bells), but this lute is a piece created by Marielle. On both sides of the string is an elegant spiral embedded in a mosaic of the inner rainbow part of the shellfish. It has been modified everywhere compared to when I received it, but the pattern resembles that of a dolphin is a favorite of fifty bells.

You have to have one of those rocker lovers! And for the fifty bells of faith, the lute "flying dolphin" and "flying dolphin" are just love utensils.

"What's going on? Fifty Bells Nee."

"Huh?"

"Fifty bells."

Everyone was stuck around the fifty bells if they noticed.

"Heh? Heh?

"It was nibbling, hey"

"That's not true!

"I was smiling."

Fifty bells put their hands on their cheeks. If you make sure he looked like that, the cheeks you burned do seem loose.

"Miss Fifty Bells is still excited."

"That's not it, Rudy!

Louder as the fifty bells stuffed, Lundell House asked for help with a gentle grin. Toya returns to it, "And Fifty Bells Nee-chan was amazing".

"Because that's not true. You know, it's no big deal. I've had instruments at home since I was a kid, so I can do it."

"That's not true. Everyone seemed happy."

Next to Serara, who agrees with Nico's face, Tito praised me fifty bells. It was Lundelhaus, who was supposed to be on his side, who put an additional chase on the fifty bells that would turn bright red in his face.

"Miss Fifty Bells is an artist as good as the Spirit. Strange research moisturizes the night in this city. It's a trip that starts next week, and it'll be fun if she's around.... What's the matter? Miss fifty bells?"

"So, kah, la, le, di, ihah!

Fifty bells chased Lundell House around impatiently with embarrassment.

I'm happy, but I can't even see everyone's face properly. Still in the cold night air, the chase lasted until we arrived at the Guildhouse.

◆

During the six months that followed the Catastrophe, one of the most renovated buildings in the group of ruins buildings present in Akiba was the Guild Hall.

On the ground floor are guild affairs reception and banks, as well as halls. The second to fourth floors are like hotel aisles lined with guild hall transfer doors that lend to individual guilds. On the eighth floor, there is the conference hall of Princess Six Leaning, which was used when the Round Table Conference was established.

The fifth to seventh floors were once like rental buildings without tenants. It was a purposeless space in the Elder Tail game. Of course, that was just after the catastrophe. Following the establishment of the Roundtable Conference, the vacant space in this building, where it is based, has been converted to various uses as a valuable space.

The Producer Alliance Liaison Committee was established at the Library Festival, and many other round-table conference-related organizations established offices. The "Round Table Conference", the autonomous body of the town of Akiba, but its ability to govern cannot be said to be highly flattering. The Roundtable Conference itself possesses small powers and low practical capacity.

Various reasons existed for the Roundtable Conference to be able to rule the city of Akiba by turning, including the fact that the number of members of major guilds who participated in the Roundtable Conference accounted for a small proportion of Akiba residents, the confidence of Akiba residents in the Roundtable Conference, the fact that Akiba residents, former online gamers, had no great expectations of the governing body, and the active volunteering by altruistic residents.

In the first place, the city of Akiba is full of a breeze of freedom. The inhabitants of Akiba live their days in a world that is not as challenging militarily or economically. Anything you want to hunt goes out to the suburbs, residents who want to produce go to the workshop, and residents who want to sell and interact run stores.

It was a general feeling among Akiba residents that autonomous organizations and the like were good if they did not interfere with what such individuals wanted to do.

Of course, it's a residential feeling, and the Round Table has more work to do than they think. Residents may wish they could have their favorite activities, but even if they take one priority of ruins they want to use as stores, they naturally exist if multiple residents' freedoms engage.

One by one, it is still the fate of the governing organization to handle a vast number of cases, and the Round Table Conference is no exception.

"Hey, this one's over, belly black."

"This way, too. Mr. Isaac."

The two men battled each other well in the corner of the brightly lit cafeteria on the first basement of the Guild Hall. He is Guildmaster Siloe of the Horizon of Records and Guildmaster Isaac of the Black Sword Knights.

I would say basement dining room, but this was somewhat of a shared space to eat and drink. From the high ceiling, the light of the "fluorescent lamp" falls, and a table with a clean atmosphere is arranged in a geometric pattern, known for four or two people. The space is separated by several areas, with some private rooms in the back, small meeting rooms, etc.

There is no unique kitchen for serving food and drink here. Four restaurants that share two kitchens sell dishes to each of them. The buyer carries it in self-service and eats in this space.

The siloes were lined up at an eight-person officer table.

Maps, paperwork and writing equipment are arranged on the table. The bag at my feet was full of various tools and equipment. Obviously it is not an atmosphere for eating and drinking, but this is not the first time, so it is a situation I am not used to.

"What are you talking about? Wasn't I mostly the one who organized the Black Sword dossier?"

A young man with an open face speaks to Isaac as he drops his shoulder. Isaac's deputy, Rezalik. Isaac laughs at the smell of a man and says, "Don't go into thin things." That Isaac isn't exactly in his usual armor today either, he's a uniform for the Round Table Conference. It weaves a gray coat like a hanging on top of it.

Apparently, he likes the Round Table uniform quite a bit. That's what Siloe thought.

Siloe is the usual turtleneck. It's a convenient outfit for carrying paperwork and clerical work.

Siloe, who has often worked with Isaac lately, but that Isaac is not suitable for administrative work. When I'm in the office, I have a meeting with Isaac trying to escape. When I make paperwork, what's the matter with me is the restaurant, the tent where I'm going.

Sitting in a store in the city of Akiba doing business is painful, so in that sense, the shared space in the Guildhall basement was a thankful place for the Shiloes.

"I don't know, is this what you want me to do?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry, I had to ask for a rate."

I don't mind if I do.

Isaac looks forward to seeing you like this.

"Meh, here. Don't say that. Teikanzu no Sukeko"

Siroe laughs at the two of them, tidying up the extra paperwork.

"But what is it? I don't know what a Knights coach is after all this time."

"Isn't that the Knights?"

That's right, but Isaac's expression isn't as dark as it sounds. He stares at the paperwork that he has held up somewhat intriguingly. The document reads "First Knights of the Earth Coaching Outline".

"Because, as I said at an earlier meeting, it also means goodwill"

"That's why you can't have no goal. How many levels should I give you?"

"If you could just give me two."

Siloe answers without judging the paperwork or raising her face.

This time I asked the Black Sword Knights to be a coach in the capital of My Hama. The subject is, of course, the knight of the "earthlings". It's not like the Knights of My Hama are the target because there are participants not only from My Hama territory, but also from other Lords' Knights. The name is "Alliance of Free Cities Eastal" training for the general public.

"There's no greed for long training."

"The other person is the" Earthlings. "You can't be unscrupulous."

"Really? Hey."

To Siloe's denial. Isaac speaks to the deputy standing behind him. The shaken rezaric said, "Were you going to power level?" I returned it.

Power leveling is a game term that refers to a level increase that is performed automatically and semi-enforceably. It is an act of placing a high level rater and giving a large amount of EXP to the low level people of a party who come along at a safe distance by taking the initiative of that rater and fighting uninterrupted monsters with high EXP. In order to be able to level up efficiently in a short time, it is a sight that we see on a daily basis in games such as MMO.

"Power leveling, you're in trouble. I can't do that."

On the other hand, as Siloe answered, there are few who disagree with that notion. What you get in power leveling is experience and level. Skilled training is not provided for your rapidly growing physical and combat abilities. Physical performance itself, such as aggression and endurance, has the disadvantage of not acquiring a way of fighting or rushing, even if it rises.

"The black belly is hard on your head. You shouldn't alternate battle training with Powerlebe. No, I'll give you more training. They seem like a pain in the ass."

Isaac laughs fat, like that.

Even as a siloe, I don't think I can help if they say so much. I'm not completely denying power leveling itself even as a siloe in the first place. Players who already have a high level of character will continue to use this type of growth method when creating a second or third character.

And Shiloe shall remain in Akiba this time. Even though it won't take an hour to get to the Eagle Lion (Griffon) until Mai Hama, it's Isaac who keeps the scene, and there's no division of roles if he's got a kerchief on that policy.

"The neighborhood is superficial, so don't do too much"

"Oh, I'll take care of it. … but an escort."

Isaac was silent for a while as he scratched his hair with a thought look.

The time is past dinner. Considering it's a kind of restaurant, this public space should also be at the time of drawing, but not even 10% of guests come in.

It should be, too, and this place is like some kind of employee cafeteria used by Adventurers and Earthlings who are contracting out the affairs of the Round Table Conference. As a preliminary, the Roundtable Conference has not carried out work that will last until dinner. Individuals who participate in the Roundtable meetings in the first place and have a lot of work have their own guild, and it is common for actual work to be done at the home of their guild. Siloe, Michitaka, Karasin, they do that.

Beyond that, the only thing I can do while arranging paperwork in this common space at this hour is either have special circumstances like Shiloe and Isaac, or I'm just a stranger working to get to this guild hall. That number is never high.

"Can't Krusty's idiot get in touch yet"

"Yeah. They're not responding to the friends list either."

"What are you doing leaving your guild alone? He is. It's gonna be gone."

"It doesn't seem that far."

Siroe replied.

Nearly three months have passed since Crusty went missing in the mountains of Ou. "It's gonna be gone," Isaac said, "but if it's normal enough time for the guild to collapse.

In general theory, MMORPG's guild is terribly brittle.

It wasn't labor or contractual, just because "playing together" was the guild in MMORPG (Elder Tail). Fellowships in communication spaces that were not constrained by physical flesh, such as living in neighborhoods or being classmates of the same school, were purer than one-sided friendships, but were therefore also fragile.

If one of the participants says, "I don't want to be here anymore," then there is almost no means to push it away. Alliances like "Harmeln", which interfere with the withdrawal process, are the exception.

The heart of the guild is often the leader of that guild.

It is the leader who sets the direction of the guild, and often the leader who creates the atmosphere. It is also the leader's job to do the lowest when there is some trouble or crap in the guild. In order for the Alliance to continue as an Alliance, we need a device called Leader.

Escapees have now continued from "D.D.D." after Crusty disappeared.

Probably because I felt uneasy about an organization without a leader. You can't blame me for that.

Rather, even though how much this is the world that has become a reality and needs a mutual aid organization for survival, it is commendable enough that a guild that has lost its guild leader has had it for three months.

Siroe had received reports from the 'sorcerer' Liese with a sinking expression that the number of withdrawn members was to the extent that it did not reach fifty. It was by no means a convenience for the management of the Round Table Conference that I praised her. What I thought was an amazing guild was the truth about Siloe.

"You're worried, black belly."

"What about Mr. Isaac?"

"You have to worry about it. He's a Berserker. You must be fighting somewhere."

"Well."

Siloe nodded ambiguously.

I don't want to deny Isaac's words.

Shiloe also thinks Krusty was flown to a non-Yamato server, or zone with restricted reading capabilities, in some sort of metastasis accident. Similar events also existed in the Game Age of Elder Tail. Of course that's not a derivative matter, and it's unlikely that Krusty herself is in some kind of trouble.

but as Isaac put it, who if I were to pick one man among the [Roundtable Conference] officials who is likely to survive even in unpredictable trouble? That would make it crusty to ask. I can't help but worry.

"One of these days you'll just come home."

That's what "The Second Most Likely Man" said to Shiloe's mind.

"It's not Mr. Crusty I'm worried about, it's D.D.D. and the Roundtable Conference."

Siloe reveals herself in her chest.

"D.D.D." does seem to be an independent guild and the operation is going around even without Crusty. But apart from whether the processing of the operation turns and whether the minds of the members can remain calm. Already a few, albeit anxious, members have left. The likelihood that "D.D.D." will collapse is never so low that it can be ignored.

And D.D.D. was the biggest guild in the battle system and the most controlled organization. For example, in the sense of achieving large-scale combat or battle quests, there are numerous (and many) Alliances in Akiba when it comes to beauty stars. So will the Black Sword Knights, led by Isaac, and Souzillow's Westwind Brigade.

However, if the scale of the battle increases, and the military action requires more than just battle and victory, there is no alliance that can replace "D.D.D." based on the level of command.

If that "D.D." were to collapse or weaken, the Round Table Conference and the city of Akiba would not be immune from its effects.

Siloe thinks the Roundtable Conference is a good autonomous organization, but she doesn't think it's indispensable because of that. The leading guild council system will show unexpected brittleness once it creates discord.

(Mr. Ains, I guess he won't stop...)

Honesty's quest for the Fairy Wheel (Fairy Ring) is progressing at a good pace. but the attention in the city of Akiba is small. Because of the technological innovations taking place in the city. Innovation then slowly breaks down the indicator of levels in "Elder Tail", which existed in the city of Akiba. If the level is high, the times when we are wealthy are passing by.

The establishment of the Roundtable Conference and the subsequent technological revolution are changing this world.

Now is a time when it is possible to build wealth with new ideas and execution.

Even when it comes to hunting, many Adventurers act with safety margins. For example, "Adventurers" at the ninety level aim at hunting grounds of about eighty-five levels. Of course you can make money, but that doesn't raise the level. Some battle guilds repeat radical challenges, but you can say that's an exception. Even if the level alone is more than ninety, the time has come when hunting the streets once and for all is not enough to make a fortune.

There are not many residents of Akiba who are annoyed by such a situation.

Crusty was important in the sense of trying to put the situation together, and Shiloe took the disappearance seriously.

If I thought I had cleared up the difficulty of negotiating with the Sacrifice clan and installing a financial facility, I would have had more headaches once again. Even as a siloe, I feel like I want to cry. At the very least, the salvation would have been that Roderick, who worked with Chief Chan Tai, had issued a statement calling for the solemnity of some items by scrutinizing the high-risk flavor text.

I have done so, and it does not necessarily reduce the number of disasters caused by cursed items.

Even items that are not explicitly written as curses can be catastrophic depending on their flavored text. With checks underway in man-made sea tactics, the list of dangerous items itself would be completed sooner or later, but there was no guarantee that that would eliminate any trouble.

"Siloe."

"Hey, hey, Lord Isaac to Lord Shiloe. Is the work done? I bought some rice."

It was Karasin who showed up there and Minori, who works part-time at the producer guild liaison committee Karasin receives. Karasin was as usual, but Minori is more in his personal clothes to work in the city. He is dressed like a student on his way home from his studies and stares in a good mood about Siloe.

Isaac said, "Whoa, you guys. You can sit here," he said, jawing the couch. Karasin lovingly seats "all of them" and so on, even though he seems to be able to pull his hips with a compelling gesture. While Siloe thought that that nostalgia was Karasin's weapon, Minori came next to Siloe handily sorted out the table paperwork and lined up the sandwiches and drinks she'd bought there.

"Mr. Siloe. Ginger ale."

"Thank you, Minori. Did you have a problem with your job?

Yeah, it was Karasin who stared at Minori snorting with a pitiful smile.

"Hey, Lord Shiloe. No, what is this, Minori, but won't you be in the Eighth Mall? I'm an expert, really, Minori."

Siloe, stuck in response, is saved by Isaac. Isaac laughed out loud at the heels and slapped Karasin on his shoulder and said, "Hey Karasin. Are you comfortable with Kona? Wouldn't it be too sunny for you?"

Karasin was desperate to say, "That's not it, Lord Isaac. This is about work," he continues.

Karasin's light mouth seems everyday to Minori, who laughs when he dulls.

The relieved siloe smiled as she sipped a carbonated drink. All kinds of beverages that are full of Akiba are homemade. I feel comfortable throating seasoned with ginger and honey.

What we need to do is pile up, and our future is precarious.

Numerous disturbing news also comes into Siroe's ear. The Seven Falls Castle Fortress (Seventh Fall) has not ended its attack that the Green King (Goblinking) will reign. It was also the will of the Roundtable Conference to have all the low-level strata based in Akiba level up to at least thirty levels.

But Siloe intends to put another measure on that will.

Now is the time to root for it. Shiloe told the obsessed Isaac and Karasin to make further demands about the implementation of the Knights of the Earth coach.
