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

"By the way... of course you know why Savar was targeted by them, don't you? Could it also have something to do with stealing Oliver-kun's ore?

The two tied face to face. He looked worried about what to do.

"... it's..."

"Let me talk to you. Seems like Savar was gonna do that too... but instead of talking, I need you to promise me something."

"What is it?

"I want us to work with you when you hear the story. I just want us to open up if we can. I want to go help Savar."

"... That's what they say, what do you do?

I'm Mr. Friday and Mr. Rush. Then I'll see Oliver.

"Why are we doing this..."

"Well, well, Rush. Think of this as one of your quests and hang out with them. Rather, they are more right the way this game is played"

"I feel like there's nothing right or wrong with the way the game is played... Ma'am, I even got the ore back in my hand. That's fine with me. I won't forgive you for stealing!

Oliver doesn't seem to forgive me, but he doesn't seem to disagree with me on this one.

"So will you talk to me?

"Yeah.... first of all about us stealing his, Mr. Oliver's ore... because we got a request. The client came from a worker at the site who was partitioning a large mining site in this city."

"... are you kidding Johnny's guy?

"Yes, it's Mr. Johnny."

Oliver reacted to surprise.

"Do you know him?

"Oh, a little. A player like this one who has a workshop in this city, it's like an NPC that you're going to meet once."

According to Blui-kun's story... they threesome bandits [Theokaze] got a request from a guy named Johnny. It was Oliver-kun's request to steal the ore [Moonlight Stone].

"... Johnny also knew I had that ore. I just remembered talking when I came out of the mine entrance... And on second thought, Johnny's guy, you said you wanted me to give him my ore. I thought it was a joke and I gently flushed it..."

"You didn't joke, you seemed to want it for real"

Enough to make a request to them. It must have been a good reason.

"... NPC will make such a request? Even though it's a matter of players clashing with each other... last time... that's crazy."

"That's what this game looks like. There are quite a few requests for conflicting purposes… it seems that NPC will easily send out requests for PVP to erupt"

Mr. Rush and Mr. Friday listened to me now and we were having that conversation.

Sure, it's called the last time, it's called this time, it's definitely the result of players arguing with each other. I don't know if that's intentional... but this game can be playing PVP if you realize it.

Well, it will really be up to the players to be PVPs. If you tried to dodge it last time, you could. Looks like you can avoid it again this time....... although it is inevitable if the obviously hostile red food group were players.

"So why did he make such a request to you?

"... we didn't know either at first. I found out when I got the ore and went to his mansion... apparently he felt threatened by those red-hood guys"

"Threatened?

"I don't know much about it either... but it looks like they asked me to mine the ore at first. It just seemed like they were forced to do the job by taking the lives of their workers as shields."

I don't know what the Red Food guys are up to, but apparently they needed a lot of ore resources. At first it seemed to buy away...... I guess I ran out of funds too, like I was threatening them to let them mine the ore, Bluey said.

"Plus they've been... demanding mining in a restricted area."

"Prohibited area?

"... a restricted area is a mining area where access is prohibited, as its name suggests"

Oliver seems to know, and he gave us a description of the forbidden area.

"It is near the depth of the mine. The reason it happened is... there's a powerful Raid monster over there. I've tried so many times to beat the first group, but they all lost. I saw it, and I sealed it off because the lord of this city was in danger."

You had that reason...... I didn't know the first set of actions was causing this.

"You mean Warcraft [Willamedes]. Was it a special individual due to a mutation in the Stoneroller species..."

"Mr. Friday, you know what?

"I'm a first period group, so I've fought that monster before. Unfortunately, I couldn't defeat you..."

Mr. Friday, you were in the first period. And is it the Warcraft [Willamedes]......

"The reason Johnny asked us... I'm sure they wanted ore that could be mined in a restricted area, and I think Oliver happened to have an eye for a moonlight stone that could be mined in a restricted area"

"... is that what you mean? Son of a bitch Johnny, I wish you would have told me if that was the reason..."

That's what Oliver says. It certainly seems like I should have talked to Oliver from the beginning.

"I don't think I could tell you. Oh, these people, I think if the information came out poorly, they'd be in danger too. He's a leader. He didn't want to put the rest of his men at risk."

"Uhm... right..."

To Kyle's words, Oliver gave a slightly convincing look.

"So, now I know why you guys took Oliver's ore... but what happened to that ore after all?

I'll tell Bluey so Wright can rush the conversation.

"I'm going to talk to you.... Mr. Oliver's ore was handed to Mr. Johnny. Then it got into their hands on the red hood... but apparently they weren't there for it."

"... that the ore was not the purpose?

"Yeah, Mr. Johnny seemed to think that would be the end of it... but they felt so helpful inside the forbidden area itself. So now he was tasked with locking down the restricted area, so he was imitating Mr. Johnny like he was threatening..."

"We've taken that key!

It was Azi, who said with her chest up like Eh heh.

"... that Savar, who had it, was targeted because he took the key to the gate..."

"No, I have the keys, don't I?

"... Huh?

Unexpectedly look at Azi. And I also see Bluey next door to make sure it's true.

"Yeah, Azzie has the keys. I tried to get them to hold it... well it didn't have to end up in their hands..."

"... So Savar-kun was kidnapped because he thought he had the key..."

Well, when they do say who the leader is in this... you're Savar...

"Savar did a good job! I have to go help this bandit leader to honor his accomplishments!

That's what I called my self-proclaimed leader, Azie.

"So, you're going to cooperate with us?

"… as far as I can tell, I think your purpose is consistent with that of this one."

I'm worried about Clin, who was even kidnapped this one. They're up to something more. The red-hood guys. This should go crush as a guardian or as Chloe who doesn't care about their organization.

"Is that all right with you guys?

We got our opinions together, and we're going to work with them threesomes to go after the red-hood guys.

"Ah, I'm finally free -!

"Thank you for your cooperation"

With the cooperative relationship established, Azi and Bluey broke the rope as promised. Well, you need to look for the red-hood guys from now on.

"The question is where are they..."

"I think it's Mr. Johnny's mansion, perhaps. Because it looks like they were based there."

Azzie replies to Kyle's words.

"Hey, didn't you see Cline? I'm a brown-haired boy, but they grabbed me..."

"Hmm, I don't know because we got out too soon...... sorry"

To Mr. Miranda's words, Azi, who speaks with regret.

I'm a bandit, but the roots must be good. And the other two, of course.

"But if the kid was kidnapped, he could be with Savar. Maybe he's somewhere in the mansion."

"It's also a matter of time before Savar realizes the fact that he doesn't have a key. You'd better go early."

"That's where my ore is, isn't it?

"I can't be sure because the Red Hoods have taken it, but it's probably..."

Bluey answers to Oliver's words a little sorry. Is it because they stole it, or is it also a little guilty? These are not the right people for the bandits who make them.

... Speaking of which, I won't see Mr. Lucille from earlier. He's like talking to me if you need anything... If you accidentally look for Mr. Lucille, Earl will stop by here. There was a black cat in that hand. If you look closely, that looks like a black cat bell, not Mr. Lucille.

"Mr. Lucille's subpoena had been lifted?

Cochlear nodding Earl. Earl seemed to want to tell him about this, but I guess he couldn't cut it out well because we were discussing it.

"Have you finally noticed! I thought you'd forgotten I existed!

'I'm sorry about that... it was a lot of things...'

Apparently, the reason it was released was because of the earlier red fog. It seemed to have been affected by that red mist because the bell of the black cat, which is a substitute, is a normal cat. Because of this, I can't seem to stay in my body and my possession seems to have been released.

"Hmm... I see. It's still them... '

"I'm coming together to talk about heading to the mansion where they are now."

There was a loud noise when I briefly told Mr. Lucille about the situation.

"Oh! You don't have time to discuss this anymore! Let's think about the mess later! Look, I'm going to go help Cline, Miranda!

"Ah hey Wright!?

"Wright, be my guest again!!

The limit of patience, or Wright pulls Mr. Miranda's hand and pops out. Mr. Kyle rushed after him.

"Shall we go, then? To get Oliver's ore back."

"Oh, let's just get this mess over with"

"I remember Johnny's mansion. Let me show you around."

Friday and Mr. Rush, then the clan members leave. Oliver continued to leave with them, too.

"Come on, we're gonna go help Savar too!

"Wait, are you going to take the keys?

Poko was the one who stopped Azi from trying to leave.

"Oh yes... what's wrong with this? Yeah... where was it?

"Azi...... you don't think I lost it again, do you?

"No, no, no way... oh, there it is!

Azi, who was looking for her by putting out a menu to panic, took out what she was looking for. What came out at her disposal was a slightly larger black key.

"Is that the key to the gate?

"Yeah, well, what am I going to do with this?

"... then I have it"

It was Poco who suggested that.

"I'm gonna wait till you converge here, so I'll keep it till then."

"Oh - then I'll leave it to you!

Azi tries to hand Poco that key......,

"Wait. I'll hold that key."

I snapped the key out of Azzie's hand.

"K, Mr. Chloe? Why... you're going to the Mansion too, right? Then you'd better give it to this girl..."

"Yes, Mr. Chloe. You'd be safer to keep it with me, wouldn't you?

The two of you have a surprised and bewildered look at my actions.

"... I'm sorry, but I don't trust Poco"

To get a glimpse of what I've been doing...... I thought I shouldn't give this guy the keys.

"Heh... - That's too bad."

- Poco's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Gu......!

An impact runs in the abdomen. Poco, who instantly approached me as close as she could, decided to body blow me. You said you were alert, but at this rate, you can't react.

"Mr. Chloe!

I could see Poko running away from me getting blown up and falling to the ground, taking the key through next to Bluey.

"Azie, go after her! Your feet would catch up!

"Wah, ok Yikes!!

Azzie walks out of the building like she's after her. Its leg speed is comparable to Poco's, so I'm sure you won't even lose sight of it. I will also give instructions to Nil, who is outside, to chase them both.

Nevertheless...... I was suspicious about her and hit her bad, even though she was on guard. Because it's hard for her to get the bollocks out. Did this one look too good?

"Bluey, there are some things about Savar... I'm sorry. Can you help me with this one?

"Fine. I can't even face Savar for taking the keys."

"... thank you"

I also smile back at him for snorting so hard at me. And we ran out in a different direction from the Mansion, in the direction where Poco ran away.
