301 - - Dispatch and Encounter

"I got a text, that's unusual."

While taking a break for dessert in the transition room of the labyrinth, you notice that you have received a mail.

"You're a bosch?

"I don't go out in the field."

To be a stray is to join a temporary party. If the clan members are not logged in, they are either solo or going somewhere with Galahad and his friends, so it is almost impossible to join a temporary party recruited by a player in this game.

This cheesecake is delicious. It has Grand Marnier in it, doesn't it?"

"A hint of the name of the liquor. Kikuhime equals sake."

"Grand Marnier?　Was it orange liqueur?"

I think I've heard of Manier, not Marnier. It finally occurred to me as we were talking about Ochazuke and Peter.

"It has orange liqueur and grated orange peel."

Today, I'm going with the latest trend and baking a basque cheesecake that is browned on the top and thick on the inside. I flavored it with orange.

While conversing, I checked my e-mail and found that it was from Luba in Fuso.　

"It's a little bittersweet, isn't it?

"The cheese is rich, but the orange flavor is refreshing.

"It smells good, doesn't it?"

Kikuhime's smells more like sake than orange.

"I like it hard, but this is good."

It's so good!"

I text, pleased that the cheesecake is so well received. I could type by voice, but I'm having a conversation over here, so I type manually.

"Did he ask you out?"

"No, just a friend of mine who lives here. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fight, and I've asked my friend at the general store to check on him for now, so he'll be fine.

In answer to Kikuhime's question.

I just sent an e-mail to Galahad and others asking if they could go to Fuso to check on the situation, and received a reply. He is a friend of Ruba's, and he is a good fighter, so I think he will be safe no matter what happens. We also know that he has a flying cavalryman.

I'm getting a lot of likes until N!C picks up the quest."

"It's nice to make a lot of money from the guys who pick up the stuff. I have to raise mine."

"Is this a quest?"

I feel uncomfortable with the conversation between Peter and Ochazuke like this: .......

"Why don't you look at the menu?　You can even choose who to send on the screen."

I looked at the quests section of the menu in Ochazuke's explanation, and I see something like <>. Yes, <> means to go and get Shiramine. <> is also listed as permanent.

I think I haven't seen a quest section since the last time I went to Mount Huaguo. And what's more, there's a list of N.C.'s that can be dispatched for quests: ....... I understand that Lapis and Noel are grayed out because they are in the store, but why is Kalu shown as being on a quest? Well, he must be doing whatever he wants to do, since all the others are <.

Reno is escorting, Liddell and Kuznoha are producing. Bahamut and Black are resting and gray.

"And the pets, too, because they can't do quests, but they can produce and fight, depending on the type. My A.L.I.C.E. is free in the labyrinth when I'm logged out. "

"If you're not well-liked, you'll be skipping around in the bar, or just taking things out and going to dungeons with no loot. Pets only eat up summoning time and don't get taken out, right?"

"Yes. But in the end, if you don't give them items like recovery, they won't get much out of it. And if you're bad, you can't fight."

Peter is too spartan for A.L.I.C.E., though he smiles and talks to Ochazuke.

"Oh!　I can't save my money with all the casino girls winning and losing!"

"No, wait. You shouldn't get so close to him.

It seems that Shin had exchanged partner cards with the casino girl, well, he's a frequent visitor.

"Ha-ha-ha!　My Alfa Romeo gets materials, too, you know?"

"I often see Leo's raccoon running wild. Are you sure he's not just collecting materials?

Leo, like me, seems to be a free-range pet.

In case you're wondering, Kikuhime has several servants after winning a drinking contest at a bar.

"...... was Bahamut's walk perhaps a battle dispatch?"

"Wait!　I can't believe they let that thing run free."

I don't care if I hear a reproachful voice from the ochazuke. Some yellow dragon has already done some damage, but who cares?

"Oh, no. I'm going to get a big one."

Yeah, they sure are taking the big ones!　Like Kojiro!　Peter, you're not connecting the first half with the context of the second half!

"Well, I guess I don't care."

I close the menu screen and pretend I didn't see it.

When you've finished eating, get ready for a logout break called sleep.

"Bed."

Comfy, isn't it?

Kikuhime has finally put a bed in the labyrinth.

"d*mn!　My sleeping bag is a thing of the past!"

Shin seems to have converted a futon from a cover-up into a sleeping bag. He is clutching a firmer one, looking chagrined.

"If you want it, I'll sell it."

Boom, boom, boom, a bed for the number of people appears from Kikuhime's item pouch.

I have a bed in my storage, but since we are going to make matching beds, let's make them matching. The frame is not named after Kikuhime, but the bedding is hers. They are of a higher grade and feel better than the ones I got from Kikuhime last time.

"Wa-ha-ha-ha!　It feels so good!"

Leo immediately dives into bed and does a breaststroke-like move.

"Hey, you sorry beauty, someone please shut up!"

Ochazuke is giving me a disgusted look. The glamorous beauty with long, slender arms and legs, thighs and buttocks is ruined.

"I wouldn't feel anything special if I thought it was Leo, here I am."

No matter what he looks like, he oozes Leo's vibe, or at least he can't hide it. In my mind, it's just Leo.

"You're too used to it."

Peter taps me on the shoulder and smiles.

"But aren't the Chrysanthemum Princesses in production or combat gear?"

"Combat equipment (that way) requires a lot of skill and dexterity. Daily necessities require less skill and can be easily improved through actions.

Although the production of combat equipment is no match for the production workers, the production of bed sheets, pillows, and street clothes with no protection is good as long as they are comfortable and well-designed, which seems to be the main focus of Kikuhime's production. The cushions and covers of the Clan House are all made by Kikuhime.

"......"

"A bed in the labyrinth?"

As I was getting ready to crawl under the covers to sleep, a familiar face came in.

"Hey, hey, long time no see.

Good evening, sir. --I wasn't expecting someone, so I'm going to pull over to the wall.

Ochazuke greeted Roy and the others as they came in, and Kikuhime stowed them away to move the bed.

"Hey, long time no see. Oh, against succubus?"

"Oh, yeah. I've already finished it and I'm still attacking the labyrinth as usual, but the effect hasn't worn off yet."

Ochazuke explains as he pulls the bed out to the wall. The succubus strategy seems to be a method that has just recently been discussed on the bulletin board, and Roy seems to have known about it.

"Ochazuke is the same as before.

"Shin is the same..."

Momiji and Kaede argue with each other. Is it my imagination that Kaede was slightly upset when she saw Shin?

"Mr. Peter has a face, doesn't he?"

Clough calls out to Peter in confusion. It was the safest thing to do, I understand.

"By the color of their hair, is this Leo and this Homura?

Shirayuri asks me in a relaxed atmosphere as usual.

"Oh!　She's a bonkers beauty!"

"Don't get too comfortable in there, you know. I can see you!"

Roy is upset to see Leo bragging about it.

"You want to touch it as a souvenir?

Leo holds up his boin.

Ha!　Now I can hold the tails of maple and maple trees!

"Oh, by the way, thanks for the food after the big fight, it was a big help!"

Roy, the man with the hidden big tits.

"Especially Homura, she gave me a lot of materials for the trap dungeon, was that a good thing?"

"Yeah, I can't use it all myself."

There is still a lot of it.

"And Shin is still a man, by the way?　Just lipstick?"

"You're a woman in status, in case you're wondering."

Shin winks with his pinky finger in front of his lips.

"Ew."

Roy takes a step back with a shudder.

"I'm scared!"

"I'm scared!"

Maple trees, maple trees, and maple trees put their hands and cheeks together. The two look exactly alike in symmetrical poses, as if mirrored in a mirror. Their tails wagging cutely.

"How rude of me to catch such a beautiful woman!"

Shin, who is all smiles.

"If you open the transition, will you go forward?　Rest?"

"No. I've got the material for the zoo, so I'll go back to processing, and then I'll be ready for fel fasi."

"We're out of water with [Retsubi]. If the materials were safe, I would have caught up with them quickly. ......"

Clough and Dawn's answer reminds me that I used to compete with the Flame Kings.

"You've grown quite lovely, by the way."

"Yes, really."

Stop, don't look at me!

"If you want to play succubus, I recommend it."

Dawn and the others frown when Peter smiles at them.

"I avoid succubus!"

"I want pants~"

"I want a black cloth!"

"I would love to have a +5 magic ring!"

When I said it out loud, the words of maple, momiji, and shillayuri came one after another.

"Wa-ha-ha-ha!　A beautiful woman?　You're going to be a beautiful woman!"

Leo, who unreservedly casts a curious eye on Roy and the others.

"Oh, no. Let's go ahead and collect some good materials and trade them."

"Oh, oh!　Let's get on with it, Fer Fasi!"

Clough and Roy's voices are a little oddly inflected. I think I can see a large amount of sweat on their foreheads.

"Okay!　You interfered!"

Dawn quickly transitions to the outside, followed by two men.

"Oh, he got away!

"He escaped!"

"Hmmm..."

The Japanese maple and momiji chase after them, and the shillayuri slowly follow them.

"It was so noisy, wasn't it?"

"I don't think he wants us to tell him that, though."

Peter says with a thin smile.

I go to bed thinking that we are noisy every time.

Good night.
