343 319: Let's see.

Now, while I was saying something, it was already 10 minutes ago.

Starting at 15: 00, I can't relax this much.

Specifically, we have to go around and do something so that the dead don't come out.

The main time of the stampede event is between 15: 00 and 17: 00, commonly known as "Magic Two Hours". The level of the monster that had risen gradually so far jumped up after 15: 00.

Especially in the case of the table H "Ghost Soldier"... oh, it's not a problem.

-Is it the turn of Yu, the Lord?

I summoned Miroku to prepare.

"Help Masamune and her cats."

Roger.

On command, Mirok ran away with his long hair and kimono stretching to his waist.

Considering the overall balance, it seems that Milok would be well advised to stay in this empire.

Instead of being able to perform ranged attacks, Mirok has an out-of-orbit melee firepower. Bring it here to keep the front running. With the backing of Alfred and his mixed sisters, they would be considerably more viscous on the front.

Akatsuki, Champagny, Cosmos, and Nato were good for the front. Masamune and Cigarone were looking at the battlefield extensively and seemed to be in a good position to help.

"Second, good formation"

Isn't that right?

Mr. Zero Ring praised me.

Even though I thought about it beforehand to some extent, I don't know whether it is correct or not until it goes into production. However, based on the feeling of the scene, Zero Ring said that it was a good formation, so it seemed that it was definite.

Well then, I'd like to ask you to do this.

"Consider it done"

I don't know what that means, but Zero Ring-san nodded with a nice smile, so it's fine anyway.

If it's a combination of Zero Ring and Masamune, I can safely rely on it.

I nodded as I looked into Mr. Zero's eyes, activated [Thunder Light Turn], and shifted to the southeast point of Lake Vanilla.

This is where Sylvia and Nova are.

As originally planned, I'm going to base myself around here.

To the south of the Bitter Valley, where Sherry and Alpha live, is Laz. To the west of the port town of Coola, where Eco, Vogue, and Muratti are located, you'll find Renko, Gloria, Eve, Karen, and Lynn.

For the time being, I had to wait and see how it went. If something tough comes up, you can contact them through a team-exclusive communication and deal with it each time.

All right.

Five more minutes.

Finally.

Although I've done it many times in the past, I'm not so used to it. Especially the table H.

If you say you don't feel anxious, you're lying.

But more than that... it's scrolling.

There aren't many opportunities to showcase something to the audience.

I can show my stampede event to the people of this world. What's the number one thing in the world without rolling?

If there's a next time, I'd really like everyone to use me as a reference.

I have also prepared (...) for that.

All that's left is to do it.

…………

I glanced back.

There was a woman who was shooting with a winfield and a "palms cam."

My mentor understands me well.

Yes, we must be watched.

And you have to be charming.

It must be the best in the world.

Come on, important first shot, important first shot.

He dares to show off his tremendous strength.

Simple firepower is not the only thing.

Strength is the work that is created for the first time by aligning the mind and body skills.

In the spirit of being the best in the world, in the technology of being the best in the world, and in the status of being the best in the world.

I'm the man who stands on the back of the world, the Second Firth Test.

Seriously, look...

One day before the start of the stampede.

Joey, a new female reporter, was terrified of anxiety and fear in the basement.

After being stunned by someone who had become an editor-in-chief, I woke up and was locked up somewhere.

There are a few reasons to get caught. Whether it was a bribe used to visit Ark Paradise, a case of drunken slavery of knights of the First Knights, or because I knew too much about Stampede.

Joey said it was a third thought. I think I know too much.

Driven mad by the lust for knowledge, he set foot in the forbidden land.

There is no longer any sense of justice in Joey's mind.

If so, pure interest and curiosity. A desire for knowledge that can never be resisted.

As soon as she was honest with them, she was amazed at what she was doing.

There were many times when I could stay on my feet. However, the brakes were broken when Ark made me realize that I was an anomaly.

Joey haunts. "What if it's been tried...?"

"Yes, I was trying."

It was Winfield who appeared silently.

Surprised by the sudden voice, Joey gazes at Winfield with a strong expression.

But as the surprise faded, the chill gradually struck her.

Because the woman in front of me said something that seemed to me to be the only thing that read my mind.

“You've been manipulated by Arc Paradise, and you've done something stupid.”

"Are you manipulated...?"

Joey is still unaware that he was being led by an arc.

I'm an intelligent monster... yes, by alluding to myself, I was gently destroying my brakes as if I had even gotten a pardon.

"Anomalies are formed by comparison with normal."

"You're not a psychopath. A normal person who wants to be a psychopath. You're half insane, aren't you?"

…………

Semi-Anomaly.

It sounded pathetic.

"It's a good way to use it." I'd like to see Second-san's reaction, but I was forced to run away because of it. "

I want to see the second reaction.

Arc Paradise did say the same thing, Joey recalls.

Here, Joey finally realized that he might have been used by the arks.

"He is also a semi-unusual person." I will manipulate you, incite the people, start a riot, and escape. I was hoping to see the reaction of Mr. Second while having such an original purpose. "

"...... No way. I'm the one who did that."

"Do you think I can't? Yes, if you have the information."

No, because the editor-in-chief actually told me...

"You've been taking backing, right? If you had convinced the editor-in-chief, this country would be a festival by now."

"... that's..."

Joey tries to deny it, but he feels more like it.

Yes, the knight was drunk enough to convince the editor-in-chief. All that remains is to make the overly specific information into an article with exaggerated speculation.

If you think about it, it's really close. Only one more piece of thin skin was left until things moved so loudly that they were irretrievably bigger.

"That's good, we'll stop it." If it wasn't good, it might have been the death penalty? "

"......!"

Joey's body trembled at the words that came out of Winfield's mouth.

Death penalty. There is no such thing as zero likelihood. No, if there is a disturbance in reality, it may be more likely.

... what a terrible thing I've tried to do.

At once, Joey's cold heart thought of such a thing.

Well, then, I'll ask you one question.

"... yes"

Winfeld opened his mouth, looking around.

"Still, do you want to live as a reporter?"

Joey has an instinct.

My "life" depends on answering this question.

"I-I-I..."

I squeezed my voice out with my dry throat.

A normal person who wants to be a psychopath.

Do I want to be an anomaly? Do you want to be normal? As a reporter...?

"... I don't want to be a psychopath." I just want to know more strongly. And I want many people to know that. Is it abnormal to think like this? In other words, I may not be a reporter. ”

His voice was trembling. But it was an honest word that I hadn't picked up.

Having heard Joey's answer, Winfield nods his mouth and breaks the silence.

"I'll give you a job."

Then I handed Joey the Palms Cam.

And then, with such a cold voice that your spine is about to freeze, you mouth like this.

”I have to show the 'real' to the half-wholes like you who are overflowing in the world.”

◇◇◇

The clock hands point to 15 o'clock.

Instantly - Silence dominated the battlefield.

Many of the soldiers who saw it ceased to do so.

The facets of the Firth Test are no exception. Silvia, Klaus, Nova, Cubelo, Elle, Rave, and Prince were also the first to see the real thing. Therefore, I am overwhelmed to a great extent.

The monster that appeared... was a black dragon so big that it looked up, and the ghost of a dragon cavalryman with a spear on his back. And the ghost of a sorcerer dressed in a black robe and equipped with a wand.

Compared to previous monsters, it was clearly a different color.

I can tell from the look of it that it is an unwary opponent.

Kuhaha! No shortage of opponents!

Nova laughed loudly.

I inspired myself and everyone else.

Nova's loud voice brought strength back to everyone's limbs in a daze.

The next moment...

In the middle of the enemy field, a dazzling lightning flashed, and suddenly a man with white feathers appeared.

A man completes a skill preparation using a short amount of time attacked by monsters that have noticed its existence, and activates it in a frivolous fashion.

Dragon Horse Gymnastics Lightning Attribute Typing Lightning Attribute Typing Synergy ─ A number of threads radiate all around, conveying the threads and spreading the lightning attribute magic attack over a wide area and chain.

As if a meteorite made of lightning had fallen, a powerful lightning strike that shook the ground spread out in a circle around the man, conveying monsters that were close to each other and chaining them one after another.

The giant black dragon, the ghost of the dragon cavalry, and the ghost of the sorcerer fell to their knees.

It was a widespread and high firepower attack that did not know how many bodies were buried at one time.

Make the first shot as flashy as possible.

And make it known to the world.

A white feather that flashes in the wind, and a golden "No. 1 in the world" embroidery on the back.

- You want to see more, don't you? And that's what his back was talking about.

There are still a lot of things that haven't been shown yet.

Joey, who was filming the figure in Palmscam, had no choice but to look like he was saying that.

At the same time, I felt one end of the pressure he was carrying.

He is always expected to remain as written on his back.

And we have always responded firmly to the expectation of thousands and tens of thousands.

Joey delays understanding the meaning of the word “real” that Winfield used to say.

The point is, how much can you stare at it?

It is normal for him, but it is abnormal for others than him.

Therefore, a real psychopath.

"... Second Firth Test..."

He who stares at it more than any other deserves to be called.

The impression that Joey had of a man called the Second Firth Test was a strange moment.
