Chapter 150: Rock transport and flower garden
Kayo-nee treated me to lunch and I went to the supermarket to buy a lot of food. We should have enough to last us until the end of the event.
Then I heard about the rocky area. We got some stones, ores and rocks.
They're totally telling you to use them.
But there was a problem with the rocks. They only let you put one in your inventory. Very inefficient.
But I can think of someone who has the strength to carry a lot of rocks.
"That's why I want Kurogane-chan to carry the rocks"
The lunch schedule was set. No, there's nothing I want to do.
So I logged into the game and just carried rocks with Kurogane. The members were Koihi, Kurogane, Liqueur, Darley and Kitsuneko. Liqueur and Darley are carrying the rocks with Mel and Risa.
"Sorry. I made you help me carry it"
"You don't feel bad at all, do you...Crow-san"
"Well, yeah. You're in sole possession of the points. You've got to help us get some points"
"I think I'm giving away a lot of ingredients and materials"
"It's give and take. This event depends on the producers. You can't let the arrogant capture group think that the producers are just pawns to support them"
"...Something happened"
"Well...I didn't think they'd put the blame for their losing streak on us"
Ugh...that sucks. The defeat may be due to their strategy...
"So that's why you came over here"
"That's right. I stayed over there because it was a good way to score points, but I've run out of love for them. Well, I guess it's over for them"
The end? What does that mean?
"Do you think the other players will cooperate after losing so many times and losing points?"
"Ah...they certainly won't"
"And they're probably running out of food they've been accumulating. They're not going to give us food anymore. The wire traps are also gone. Maybe the base area will fall today"
"If it does, do you think they'll come here?"
"I don't think the leader will bow down..."
Right...so they'll be wandering the field on an empty stomach? Great survival. Oh, so that's what the event was about...
"What are the other players going to do?"
"Ruin is working on it. Negotiation is her domain. I'm sure some of the more skilled and conscientious players will be on our side, right?"
Ruin-san seems to be good at that kind of thing. As I think about that, Koihi senses something.
"Takuto-san, I hear bees"
"Are they heading this way?"
"No, I can hear a lot of bees from one place"
That means there's a hive...and I want to get to it. But we're in transit.
"Let's leave it alone for now. We don't want to put anyone in danger"
"All right"
I'm still a rock carrier and an escort.
Then we arrive at the place where Ruin-sans group are building the catapult.
"Thank you for your hard work. Takuto-kun. I've got some bad news for you. It seems that the healing lake has fallen"
"That's what I thought"
I guess Crow-san's prediction was correct.
"And here's the good news. Some members of the capture group from the other side have joined our side. You can trust them"
That's good news, indeed. I can't ask her how she got them on board.
"With the loss of their base, lack of food and no way to maintain their weapons, they have to come here...so what are you going to do with the ones that don't come with us?"
"They can't enter this base area. Of course"
"I think they'll come by force..."
"I'm not a demon either. I'm going to allow them to log out. I've already taken out all the food, just like they did"
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Ruin-san is showing a wicked smile.
"The people in the capture group who will follow us are scheduled to join in the evening. I want to introduce them to Takuto-kun, can you spare some time?"
"No problem. I have some things I want to discuss with you"
"What do you want to discuss? What is it?"
"Tristan-san told me that the increased number of monsters might be heading for other base areas"
"That story...I'm also worried about the defense"
"I have a good idea. I'm sure everyone will be happy to cooperate"
After all, it's a chance to get a lot of points easily. I told everyone about it and the producers started to prepare for it.
I finished carrying the rocks three times with Kurogane and decided to hunt the bees that Koihi had found on the way back to the base area. The group consisted of Setia, Koihi, Byakuya, Hiyori and Kitsuneko.
Aranea was tired from the repeated production of thread, so she took the day off.
When we all headed out, we found a field of flowers.
Oh! I didn't know there was such a place! Then Setia speaks.
"Wow...there are purifying grasses here and it looks like it's a place where the soil contaminated by poison has returned to its original state by itself"
