The next evening, when I logged into Arcana Online, Rea unni welcomed me.

Her outfit was unfamiliar - not the usual flashy attire, but ordinary traveler's clothes.

"You're here?"

"Yes!"

Today, as promised, I was going to join the guild. We met in Cradle Village, where she handed me an invitation.

With this, I became a member of the Frey Guild again.

"Now! From now on, call me Leader!"

"Okay! Rea unni Leader!"

"No! Call me Lea-der!"

"I got it! Leader Rea unni!"

"Are you teasing me now...?"

As Rea unni poked my cheeks, I told her it was a joke.

"Ahaha! Just kidding! Rea unni!"

"Lea-der!"

Saying that obsessing over small things is useless, I took out equipment similar to what Rea unni used to use from my inventory and handed it to her. She looked at me with surprised eyes.

"W-what is this...?"

"It's a gift from the future unni."

Well, should I say another Rea unni...?

Fortunately, the equipment she gave me as a gift when she changed her gear back then was still in my inventory.

Wait, could it be that she anticipated even this and gave it to me!?

Scary Rea unni.

She's not just thinking one step ahead, but several steps ahead.

Well, it must be a coincidence.

"C-can I really accept such a precious thing...?"

"Of course!"

When I told her to use it freely, she looked at me with a touched expression.

"I'll treat you to a delicious meal next time!"

"I like sushi!"

"My wallet will have to work hard..."

I should eat moderately, considering her wallet situation.

"Now then! First member of the Frey Guild, Yuna! Let's go recruit guild members!"

"I have some members in mind for that."

"Really!?"

Her hand gently patted my head, saying I was thoughtful.

Rea unni is capable, pretty, and kind... Doesn't she have enough qualifications to support me?

"Hey! Are you thinking of supporting a gap year student right now? It's free if you do it now!"

"Hmm? I'll pass."

"Why not!?"

Rea unni chuckled at my dejected state and told me to hurry up. Following her, the kidnapping... I mean, recruitment of Frey Guild members began.

The first one, of course, was beast-kin Sasha unni.

I had already figured out her location.

Moving to her usual channel and approaching the lakeside, I saw her fishing.

Happy to see her, I waved excitedly as I approached, but I had overlooked one fact.

She didn't remember me.

"Who are you, acting so familiar?"

Momentarily flustered by her words, I managed my expression and invited her to join the Frey Guild.

I even presented two choices.

"Would you like to join the Frey Guild? Or would you like to be kidnapped?"

"Is that an invitation?"

"Your answer!?"

"No! It's troublesome! Nothing's more uncomfortable than belonging to an organization!"

With those words, Sasha unni ran away at lightning speed.

As expected of a beast-kin, her speed was no joke.

But she's no longer the ranker she used to be.

Now, she's just a beginner user.

I caught up to her with light steps, and she was shocked.

"Don't follow me!"

"I'll follow you until you join!"

"No!!"

Finally, I caught her and brought her to Rea unni, who handed her an invitation with a bright smile.

"Congratulations on joining the Frey Guild!"

"I'm not joining!?"

Faced with her quite stubborn attitude, I took out the item I was going to give her if she joined and handed it over.

"If you join now, it's a bonus!"

"I said I'm not join-"

She glanced at the item, and in an instant, her words stopped. When she checked the information, her mouth fell open.

"D-do you really give this just for joining?"

"Yes!"

"You're not going to ask for it back later or charge a rental fee..."

"There's nothing like that!"

Hearing my words, she immediately took the invitation and used it.

As expected, in a capitalist society, capital is supreme.

No, as someone waving the flag of red revolution, is that right?

Hmm, whatever!

She looked happy examining the Dragon Clan's Gauntlet I gave her as an item.

This is how I plan to recruit all the former Frey Guild members one by one.

[Are there no protests these days?]

I feel like having a revolution today.

[Comments]

- Is revolution your cousin's kid's name or something?

- Wave the red flag and strengthen comradeship!

- Back in my day! It wasn't red, it was scarlet!

- Saying scarlet makes it sound cheap lol

[Doesn't it sound off if you say you're waving a scarlet flag?]

No, it just sounds like China. When you think of revolution, red sounds more fitting.

[Comments]

- For real lol

- Saying scarlet sounds cheap lol

- Please correct it to red

- [Author] Corrected

[If you say red hair, it just sounds like a baby]

Try saying crimson hair.

Doesn't it make you think of revolution?

[Comments]

- Kid, you've learned well.

- [Author] Your way of speaking really sounds like you're from the North?

- That's right? I'm a North Korean defector.

- [Author] Oh, it was real lol

[So when are we having a protest!!!!]

I've even been practicing waving flags these days!!!

[Comments]

- I heard it's becoming an event?

- I heard the admin will announce it?

- I heard the representative will let us know?

- [Author] For real?

Users who had tasted protest once realized.

How sweet the taste of revolution is.

At that moment, a notice from the game company was posted.

[Coup d'état!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Coup d'état time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Comments]

- How did this actually become a real event lol

- The game company really made this on purpose lol

- Let's go wave red headbands and flags!!!

- Let's gooooooooo

[Isn't Star City really crossing the line?]

There are so many knights and mages there, you know?

[Comments]

- The flag of revolution knows no time or place!

- I've never raised a weak kid!

- [Author] When did you raise me lol

- Want to taste the flag!?

While many users were in a frenzy of excitement, there were also users who weren't.

Users who couldn't understand why such actions were being taken gathered inside Star City, while users participating in the revolution started gathering one by one at a campsite away from the city.

A campsite where numerous monsters had gathered in one place, waving flags and preparing.

Unlike Cradle Village, Star City was much larger in scale, and as they were half expectant and half nervous about whether it would work, something started flying from far in the sky.

"I-isn't that a griffin!?"

"The griffin that was said to live in the Valley of Death!?"

"It's not just one or two!?"

What looked like hundreds of griffins flying in the sky slowly descended.

The current level of rankers is in the 50s, making it impossible to catch griffins with a recommended level of 60.

But something seemed off.

The griffins had grown 2 to 5 times larger than what was seen in videos.

The level displayed on their heads exceeded 100.

In other words, ordinary users would die just from brushing against them.

What if such monsters joined their protest?

This might work.

Then a voice rang out.

"We're offering a chance to participate in the protest by riding griffins on a first-come, first-served basis!"

There was a moment of silence at those words, but then countless people rushed forward.

When else in life would you get to ride on a griffin's back?

As the lucky ones were chosen and envious gazes followed, just as the first traveler was about to mount the griffin...

"Rejected."

With one kick, they were logged out.

"Um... This wasn't in the script. It's okay! We still have plenty left, right?"

The leader of the Red Revolution Group smiled brightly at us.

Comrade Yuna is looking at us, but if we say we can't do it now, will she let us off?

As everyone was panicking and waving their hands, a presence slowly approached.

"Get on."

Watching this scene, the ordinary users breathed sighs of relief.

Saying they were glad they weren't in that position.

The sound of bells rang throughout Star City.

The bells signaling an emergency situation echoed throughout the city, and as the city gates closed tightly, they entered a state of emergency.

"What's the scale of the enemy!?"

"There are too many to gauge!"

"What kind of answer is that! Go out and find out right now!"

How many could there be to talk such nonsense?

Climbing up to the city walls to check the number of enemies, I couldn't close my mouth.

A vast crowd was approaching, filling the ground densely, but the problem was that monsters were coming along with them.

On top of that, griffins filled the sky.

Ah, is this the end of Star City?

At that moment, an anomaly occurred.

The vast crowd parted as someone walked forward.

A girl...?

She took something out of her subspace, and a loud voice rang out. seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
