Vol. 9 - Chapter 452 - Let's Act on Our Summer Vacation Plan!

Satoru's judgement by Sierra, well, was put on hold after seeing his excellent desk work skill and the colour of remorse dying his face. As to redeem the honour, it would depend on Satoru's himself.

Satoru was surprisingly, and exceptionally, skilled in a range of works, starting from simple clerical work to creating or handling the documents. His job was supposed to be ‹Hard Worker› though. Nonetheless, his familiarity with such tasks was like someone had made him go through them everyday.

He was even supporting Maria in accounting, that was truly a lifesaver. There was no complaint about his talent, so I also asked Celia to watch the situation for a while before concluding any result.

We didn't have any other candidates as excellent as him so prematurely ending the contract now would just hurt us. Of course, that's on the premise that we spot no problem, in the case it would be a case of no return.

Moving forward, Kairi was also back the other day from her home. Now we were only left with members who were out for the long term; basically Lana, Ester, Shizu, Pamela and Reglam. They wouldn't be back for at least three more weeks.

Alas, there's no changing some things. In that case, we might as well start on our plan.

"Alright, now that Sierra and Kairi are back, let's get going on our plan!"

"Did you come up with something? I hope it's not something strange."

"Hahaha, even you have learned to joke, Sierra. When have I come up with bizarre plans? Each and every single one had been taken with absolute seriousness."

"...............Hmm, boss farming or clearing 3 Int-mid dungeons in just 5 minutes is definitely something no sane person can come up with. I also have a lot to explain, want me to brief you in detail?"

La-la-la~.

Oh, right. Did I ever explain ‹Brave› actually has a weakness---random hearing loss? My weakness actually just flared up now. La-la-la~.

But seriously, grind of that sort was baby steps if we go by the common sense of the game. Yeah, so I am sure it's alright. Absolutely.

Sierra heaved a sigh when I averted my eyes to admire the beauty of the guild room and continued.

"So, what have you come up with?"

"Now that you ask---this is all I came up with after thinking hard all day all this time!"

I fetched a bundle of papers from ‹Inventory Bag (small)›. Only these papers know the amount of hardship I had gone through in the last one month to come up with all this you know. Well, this was also why the bundle was more than just a few pieces of paper. Sierra's eyes narrowed at the sight. ------La-la-la~. I must be imagining things, yeah.

Ahem, anyway, we're now going to do a full dive toward our summer goal! Time? Hah, why fear, when ‹Brave› is here, no?

But there was just a tiny bit of a problem. I probably worked a bit too hard with the suggestion, and there's no way we could go through them all. We needed to select a few from all to present them in front of other guild members, so I called Sierra in the lounge room to look at them.

I explained my reasoning to Sierra while going through the papers one by one.

"Leaving aside the ‹Sea-Dun›, which is obvious, doesn't summer invoke the image of festivals!? And nothing can be better than holding a one-of-a-kind dungeon festival! Like the Rare boss farming festival! Maybe, a hidden rooms tour! A round to all the F-boss is also nice! A struck-gold Rare Monster hunt also has a good ring! There's also a collection hunt! There's just no way to decide and there's even more!"

It would count as participation from our guild, and we could also join in as guests. This would definitely be a good memory for everyone.

Ah, I steered off from the topic. So what I was saying was we need to decide on our current plan. There were still four weeks till the summer festival. Summer vacation wouldn't be coming back after the festival no matter how much you lament!

"What do you think about this then? Summer Camp---a one true event that struck home when talking about summer vacation!"

"Summer camp?"

I picked a few papers and showed them to Sierra.

"There's an item called 'Tent' which we can use in the dungeon to have a sleepover there. I am thinking of camping in the dungeon."

"Wait. 'Tent' is equipped in ‹Thunder Javelin› but we don't have Ester who could have used it. What are you going to do about that?"

"We can ask Aegis-senpai for that. It just so happened that Ester had left behind ‹Thunder Javelin›. Aegis-senpai also has crossed LV40 with the help of ‹Training Hall› and has already activated the ‹Carriage› use skill."

"But, that would mean boys and girls sleeping together, no? Aren't tents unusable if the person capable of activating doesn't stay inside as well? You're not telling me you will stay in the carriage together as well, do you?"

"Ah, you're misunderstanding. I am talking about renting ‹Tent›. Besides, even the capacity of ‹Thunder Javelin› isn't enough for all the girls to sleep in it, right? I am planning to rent at least two of them."

"I see......"

Sierra pondered over the topic once I explained.

A lot of procedures needed to be completed if the party plans to pass the night inside the dungeon in the academy. This rule wasn't in the game, but it seemed like academy even dispatched ‹Relief Committee› if the said party or group wasn't back by the time period mentioned.

In short, one must submit the application if they're to have the dungeon night in a dungeon and for carrying a tent as well. Academy also rent tents in fact. And since portable tents could be carried in ‹Item Bag›, it was half the headache less about camping.

It's not like the goal to dive into a dungeon was always to clear the final floor. Sometimes, you also dive into the dungeon purely to look for certain items but it was like RNG decided to mess with you, so it was standard practice in game to stay in the dungeon until the targeted item was acquired.

There were honestly not many uses of ‹Tent› but it was convenient to have one. Though, it was impossible to follow game practice so I was going to skip on tent purchase.

But I do want to try out camping in reality. How it feels and so on. The upfront reason for camping was 'we're going to stay inside the dungeon to train our members.'

Now the decision was in Sierra's hand. And she choose---

"Very well. Let's select this one."

Woahhhh! Finally, one of my plans received no obstruction!

We continued checking on the bundle of paper, suggesting them to each other and slowly put together the plan for the summer event.
