Second Story Online: Aiming To Become The World's Number 1. Ideal Witch

47 · Let's do a launch, with soba

"… Well, I'd like to start launching the request."

Mr. Kyle fears hot water swallowing in one hand. I'm not rolling because I'm a party chat, but the tricks and stuff remain with Kyle. So you're just a little uncomfortable.

"Good luck in achieving the Epic Quest, everyone!

"Good luck!

Everyone uses hot water instead of a glass to toast quietly. Tea with a soba tea-like flavor inside swayed with flavor.

"Why is the launch venue a soba shop..."

Mr. Wright looks at the hot water and on the table and sighs.

On the table where everyone surrounds you is one of the Japanese dishes, soba noodles. But this is not Japan. This is a soba shop in the city of Die Road. I'm wondering why there's a soba shop here, but there is. Must be the store manager's hobby.

"More like this, pick a place where you can par! You know, meat and everything! Why is this such a plain place!?

"Please be quiet, Mr. Wright, as this is annoying to other customers"

"He said nobody's listening because it's quiet and nothing party chat!

Mixed with Mr. Wright's cry, a windchime rang in the distance with Chillin. There are a lot of customers in the old-fashioned store who don't look good. The only one in this would be about Mr. Tsubaki blending in.

"It was my request... didn't you like it?

Mr. Tsubaki will hear you in a slightly pungent voice. That look, by the way, is the usual cool Mr. Tsubaki. That cool Tsubaki had dropped many times trying to grab soba with chopsticks. Over and over again, I have tried to grab soba on the top of the Buddha.... Best on the outside, even though chopsticks seem okay to use.

"It's not that I don't like it... Oh, that's enough."

As if he didn't care anymore, Mr. Wright grabbed the soba with chopsticks and put it on Mentsuyu, then began to cheat and sip. And squeaks when it's good with blush.

Mr. Tsubaki looked at that with envy. He was then carefully lifting the soba whilst referring to Mr. Wright's way of holding the chopsticks.

"I hired him because I like soba."

That's what Kyle says. He wraps and eats soba like pasta when he twirls with a fork. About half of this store eats the same way Mr. Kyle does.

"Because I didn't disagree either. And then I asked him if he could be here about the place."

I'm eating soba in a fork again, too. I can use chopsticks, but I can't use them Chloe. By the way, there are Nil and Earl and Haku as well.

Nil is already finished eating and sleeping on Earl's shoulder. Yes, yes, the same species, but Mr. Tsubaki said that pet hacks can only be fed exclusively by pets. Can Nil eat anything because he's a demon?

Earl also eats soba like intrigued. Earl himself, I guess all the human food itself is fresh. By the way, I didn't seem to know how to use the chopsticks at first, but I'm using them now. You have big, gritty hands, but you're clever.

"Am I? Well, I was awake..."

Mr. Wright turns a blind eye as he turns his head. After yesterday's dissolution, time opened up quite a bit until this member was aligned.

Myself, I had errands in the morning so I couldn't log in and I logged in in the afternoon. Only Mr. Kyle was at that point. Go on, Mr. Tsubaki, at the end of the day, Mr. Wright is all set.

"Yes, I was, I'm sorry I fell asleep yesterday - Aww!

Mr. Tsubaki hit his forehead on the corner of his desk due to the influence of having his head bowed with momentum. People set up their own pain system, but it shouldn't hurt that much. I guess I was just setting it up a little stronger. Even as he returned to the cool Tsubaki, he had tears in his eyes and a red scratch on his forehead.

"I didn't cause you any trouble, so you don't have to apologize"

I snort at Mr. Kyle's words, too. If this were on a quest, well, it would have been a lot of trouble, but we're people, too. There's nothing you can do about reality. Besides, the servers in this game are already good considering the common world, time difference, etc.

No matter how many times have gone by and even the language walls can be crossed this way, there's also the problem of still standing still. Yeah, in today's world, languages can be translated in real time. That's why we can communicate. Well at first I couldn't communicate my intentions because of the language of the game...... You had reality in a way.

"Ahhh!!?

"What a sudden!

I'm surprised at Mr. Wright for shouting. What the hell does that mean?

"Yesterday's! Look, the Epic Quest video is up in the history!

"You're lying!?

"Because it's true! Look at that!

Mr. Wright will visualize and show us his screen window so that we can see it. There's a list of histories on the official website. There was certainly that event we came across yesterday that was left with the text as well as the video.

"... will always be recorded, but I didn't expect it to even be uploaded to the video"

"Does that mean they gave permission?

Play and watch the video to try. The video had begun where we received our request at Mr. Lucille's house, and the scenes of those golden pickpockets being defeated had also been recorded. It's not what I say, but are they okay to expose themselves to situations like this?

"I don't know. But they weren't role players. Maybe he didn't know about this system. So rather than allowing it..."

"I didn't vote...... so?

Then you do. I can also nod that this video was uploaded if their eight votes are invalid votes. Neither did I know about Epic Quest until I was briefed, or that something called History existed.

"It's a system part of this game, but maybe it doesn't matter to some people"

Well, that part doesn't translate into more players... and Kyle continued. Certainly this game feels like the operation is favouring role players. That's why you have more role players than any other game, but that also means it's hard to get more people.

"If it's from us, I'd still like the service to continue."

"It's only been a month."

... You're just a little anxious. I'm worried about the future of this game. It is the current state of affairs that many games are out of service like I have been told in the past that this will be a masterpiece. If there are fewer players, that's all, the life of the game will be shorter.

Unlike offline games, online games can never be played in that game again once the operation is out of service.

"Hey, stop talking about that. Soba's gonna get worse! Number one, that's what the operation thinks."

Mr. Wright is angry. But I guess this is his way of changing the place.

"I think I'm all right ~. The operation is that NR company, and something is going to come of it. Look, it was an awesome VR movie event last year or something!

"Oh, that was awesome."

Speaking of which, you had that. That was enough to be featured on the news. A screening event in a form closer to theatre than a film that adds performances by VR to the stage in the real city...... The film is based on a game developed by the NR company, and is the work on which the film series was originally made. I guess Tsubaki is referring to that special event.

"I couldn't get tickets, so I couldn't see them in real time."

"And Mr. Chloe? Me, too. After all, it doesn't involve looking through the device, but after all, you wanted to see it in real time. Especially the actor (actor) acting!

"Yes, it is!

Some actors don't show their faces these days. You see, it's only natural that what we're doing right now (roleplay) can be done in the video industry. So some actors act like they specialize in the avatar of characters made of CG. So they're working on what we're playing with.

It was an event where I could see those people acting in real time...... I couldn't see it because I lost the ticket war. I had no choice but to rent it later and see it.

"I hope one day I'll be good at acting like that, too."

I think Mr. Tsubaki is a good roller. Sure, sometimes it breaks down.

The launch ended while we had that conversation. I never thought I could have this conversation with all sorts of people this way. True, I should have started the game sooner.... but if that wasn't SSO, I'm sure it would have been good on this occasion because I don't think we had this encounter.

"Thank you so much for today. Tsubaki, Wright, Chloe"

At goodbye. The usual Mr. Kyle says goodbye, meaning that we shall also keep the characters from each other.

"... Kyle, you're abandoning everyone."

"Oh, excuse me. Did you not like it?

"No, it doesn't matter."

I'll saunter, no matter what.

I don't know which language Mr. Kyle actually uses, but he seems to have quit his honorable name. You don't quite understand the area because this translation system, the interpretation by AI, is obvious.

"If you have any problems, call me"

"Oh, you can always tell me if I want my strength as a brave man too!

"Right. You might call me when you need a hand, Mr. Wright."

I say it while Wright holds a sword that fits into his sheath so he can't beat Mr. Kyle. When I saw him like that, I accidentally called him Wright. But that's what I'm going to call you because this one's getting tighter.

"Now the awkward are rude... but the awkward have to do something."

"Mr. Tsubaki?

"Huh?"

At that moment, Mr. Tsubaki moved. I let a sudden breeze blow, and within a moment I was on the roof across the street.

"... I'm sorry, but I'm going to take this sword, Rex."

And the big sword Rex with a beautiful decoration on its hand was glittering in the sunlight. Haku is flying next to it.

"Oh, my sword!? Why not? Give it back! Ooh!

Are you not going to answer Wright's voice, or instantly Mr. Tsubaki and Haku disappeared.

"Why did Tsubaki take my sword... why!? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

"Light!"

Light-kun runs out to follow Mr. Tsubaki. As I said unintentionally, Mr. Kyle's body was out half a step ago, too.

"I'll go after the lights. I'm worried about Tsubaki... and you..."
