November 1, 2021Ririka☆

The day after Ayane gave me the Kragan Sword. I had arrived at the foot of Mount Geyser, the meeting place.

「Hey, Cain. You’re early」

「Oh, Marumaru. You’re here too?」

「You two are early」

「Ryouka. That’s not who I am today, okay?」

「Oh? Spring has finally sprung for Cain?」

「Yeah, well, it’s finally happening to me――No!! This, this!!」

Then I showed her the gun sword made by Ayane.

「Ooooh!? What kind of weapon is this!?」

「I-Isn’t it too strong??」

「I thought so too」

「W-Where did you get this… ?」

「It’s that beautiful blacksmith who was a bit of a hot topic on the forums」

「Tell me what you just said!!!」

UDON, a big fan of Ayane’s, intervened.

According to UDON, he was the one who spread the word after first seeing her at the Blacksmith’s Guild.

「What’s her name!?」

「It’s a secret」

「D-Do something about that!!!」

「Fuu. I refuse」

「Uwaaaa!!!」

UDON, who is a big fan of Ayane’s, ran off after shouting… You’ll come back, right?

There was no need to worry about that.

UDON returned when about 50 people had gathered.

「So that’s everyone. Let’s get going!」

「「「「「「Aaaaaaa!!!!!」」」」」」

The 50 people who have gathered are all in the top 100. The reason we are here today is to do something.

I came to Selkadia not only to have Ayane make it for me, but this is also the reason why I came.

One thing we need to do is to defeat the boss of this area. It is in the crater of this huge volcano.

The wolf that was the field boss of the forest near the city of beginnings was a normal boss, but this time it is a raid boss that we would fight.

While 1-5 players are recommended for regular field bosses, 50-100 players are recommended for raid bosses.

I really wanted to gather 100 people, but due to personal time constraints, only a little over 50 people showed up.

We were only able to gather the recommended minimum number of people, but we had a chance to win. ――Yes, this gun sword.

Naturally, the raid boss this time was fire attribute. The material I gave Ayane was a water-attribute Kragan. I gave it to her with the hope that she would make a water-attribute weapon, but she came back with a weapon that exceeded my expectations. And it took only a day. With other blacksmiths, if you try to make a good weapon, it will probably take a few days at most. It usually takes more than that. But in one day. I’m really glad that I met Ayane. Yes.

――――

――

We are now at the top of Mount Geyzar.

Perhaps it was because we were moving with 50 people, but there were few demons that attacked us.

「We’re almost at the top. Keep your wits up!」

「「「「「「Yessaaaaah―!!!」」」」」」

「… You’re all so excited」

And so we came to the crater.

We spread out a bit in the crater, which is over 100 meters in diameter. The vanguard consisted of swordsmen and great shields, the middle guard consisted of archers, and the rear guard consisted of magicians.

In order to fight the raid boss, simply throw something filled with water into the crater.

Someone who didn’t know anything about it had dropped it here before. He took it out of his inventory to drink some water, and a gust of wind blew. The raid boss jumped out in anger at the falling water, and he was helplessly killed. Incidentally, it was a magma hand.

I think we’re ready to go.

「All right! Let’s throw it!!」

――Hyun……

…. Gogogogogogogogo ….

「It’s coming!」

「「「「「Uuoooo!!」」」」」

After a loud bang, the height of the magma rose to the very edge of the crater. It seemed to overflow with a little provocation.

――And so the battle with the raid boss began.
