Chapter 275

If you taste it again, drink it again, it is definitely delicious. Motarike's coffee is the same. Unlike drinking it at a shop, the aroma and flavor are a bit light, but the taste is mellow... or should I say home-style? I have the same thought about Mr. Bell's cooking, but I guess they are a couple that is a bit similar.

While we were drinking coffee after dinner, Uranus and Mr. Bell were talking about game strategy.

"Hehe, I've been back for six days now, and I've already collected six types.

The speed isn't very good."

"I am still a leisurely person.

If you are too busy, then it's too tiring."

"I see.

But with 'Drift', most of the cities have finished rotating, right?"

"No, technically, that's not all of them.

I'm going to buy some Spells later today, and I might finish at that moment.

Perhaps after clearing the game, the destinations reachable by Mobile Magic will increase, but if there were any, it seems like one could have flown there a long time ago. I haven't been able to go to the remaining 3, so I guess it ends at 25."

"Oh, think about it.

After someone finished packing up, the Rejuvenation Pill in hand was gone.

I didn't expect it to disappear, so I left it behind..."

"It can't be helped, there is a limit to how much you can use first.

Should I still Exchange it with the person who has it?"

"I wish it were that convenient, but...

I don't need it for the time being. Molly said no matter how much I recommend it to her, she won't use it."

"If I were a little younger, I might have been discovered.

On the contrary, I was messing around when I was young."

"Even so, you were a member of a bandit group until recently, so I think you all are."

"... The one with the cracked face, that's that old man."

The conversation between the three of us was lively, so it was hard to interrupt. Especially when it involved topics related to game content.

This feeling made me realize that I wasn't playing the game correctly. This isn't a real experience, but if I forget the news I heard from people, it won't help...

Most importantly, I cleared it and received a lot of clear rewards. I feel like I did something I shouldn't have.

Gon's lack of actual combat seems to be the reason here.... Especially Gon. Because he was too focused on Training with me, the number of times he participated in actual combat to capture the game decreased, and I feel the negative impact is significant. I can't stand it either, so there's nothing I can do.

"Since it's a big deal, let me help you formulate a strategy.

Sometimes you want numbers, right?"

"Eh...

It's not that there aren't any, but aren't you aiming for delicious tokodori?"

I feel the direction of the story is unsettling.

"Could it be that it's a place you haven't been to yet?

Dorias, Gursel, and so on."

"You are the perfect place you want to go..."

"I admit it, but I think it's actually useful.

The Dorias Slot Machine without Risk Dice takes a long time, right?"

"... Excellent."

"Well, I can help you with other gambling too.

As long as you have a budget.

Also, if you don't cook often, you can't get Gursel, right?

Can I use this to cook?"

"... Me and Aisha."

"Yeah, yeah. Then I can help too.

It's hard for two people."

"Hmm..."

"Also, that's it. Yes.

After all, everyone's love is late. Let me give you a lecture."

"I don't want to...

Like, once you know the strategy, it's over, isn't it?"

"But after clearing it, the strategy might have changed.

If so, can you conquer it?"

"..."

"You don't seem to want to go, Ai-Ai, so you'd better leave there quickly.

If you put it off, you won't want to go again.

It's been a long time, do you want to go with me tomorrow?"

"Hey, don't decide for yourself."

"Can't you hurry up? Then the day after tomorrow?"

"... The day after tomorrow, there is still a place I want to go."

"Then let's go tomorrow."

"So don't decide for yourself."

"I will consult with my friends and decide where to go. It's not as if strategy is the top priority."

"Hmm.

In that case, should my friends accept?"

"……Mm, mm."

"Listen.

Aisha and Shim, do you want to come with me to Ayeai tomorrow?"

Sparks flew, as if it were about to collapse……

Fine, I don't mind. What about the two people behind the scenes?

"I'll match with someone else."

"……I don't mind.

Though the young lady might not like it."

"Mm. It is that person's problem after all.

……Is it Meleoron? What about you?"

Silence behind the scenes. Shortly after,

"……

If I become an Obstacle, I will stay home."

"Meleoron.

If you say that, I will only refuse. Either we go together, or we don't go at all.

If there is a problem, we will just figure out how to solve it."

Uranus argued strongly. Being guided correctly is truly very helpful. Otherwise, Meleoron would immediately retreat.

"... I understand.

The Love City is indeed difficult; if you say you are good at it, I hope you will accompany me."

"Because

Uranus's answer?"

"Ha. I will not Recapture my previous statement.

Should I go with you to Ayeai tomorrow?"

"Negotiation complete~

But Molly is an answering machine, wishing you success in your work."

Mr. Yuanchi, suppressed by the graveyard of life. ……I, Ging.

"Think about it, will you go buy Magic after this?

Can we go with you?"

"... What do you mean?"

"I asked Molly once, so it's better to put more space in the Binder, right?"

"To be honest, if you help me, I can help you; that is true.

But what about the reward?"

"Fine, I've had enough.

Of course, I hope you can give me Mobile Magic so that the two of us can go home."

"Uranus.

Let me speak first, but I don't mind."

Meleoron continued. Fine, if she agrees, then that's about it.

"Then I beg of you……

Are two Binders free?"

"I will check. Molly as well.

Book."

"Okay. Booked."

A pair took out a Binder and checked the Empty Pocket.

"Mm. I still have Molly's card, 20 frames."

"I am at the 40th position.

As long as I get the extras."

"If you save up and organize a little…… you should be able to free up about 30 slots."

"A total of 70 slots?

It's still enough, but is it really okay?"

"Okay.

Molly, let's go to the storage room. Because I want to treat it as a harvest."

"You said that place wasn't a storage room.

This is my studio."

"I didn't use it as a storage room.

It doesn't matter, let's go. You all follow me; while you're at it, look at Molly's photos."

"Don't mention the bonus……"

Ahaha. I'm tired of this...

I am increasingly keeping up with the pace of Bell. As expected of a former Leader of a thief group. It has a great pull.

But we are a bit passive in terms of game strategy, so it is best to be this aggressive. Occasionally, though.

A room in the basement that the couple led the way to.

When Bell turned on the light in the room, he saw all kinds of things scattered in the room.

"Welcome to the storage room."

"So that's why you said this isn't a storage room..."

"It's just that Molly uses this room as a storage room instead of a studio."

Hmm. If you put it that way, I agree. No wallpaper, it looks like a basement used as a storage room. However, unless there is a painting there.

In the center of the room, there is something that looks like a canvas covered with a white cloth.

"This... was all painted by Maochi?"

"Well."

Motarike affirmed Shim's words.

More than 20 paintings are hanging on one Wall. Just as Bell said, there are many pictures of landscapes and game characters.

"Hmm."

Suddenly, Meleoron erupted. When I looked there, I couldn't point at it with my Finger, but it pointed at the tip of my elbow.

"A..."

When he came back to his senses, Seam was already looking at the same painting.

A picture of a cute person sitting calmly on a chair, with cherry-colored hair hanging down. Only that painting stood out from the surrounding paintings, and it was very conspicuous.

When I looked back at Tianwangxing, he was trying his best to turn his head to the day after tomorrow.

"That's right."

If you compare it with other pictures, you will understand, but it is just more refined.

Since I came here, I haven't been attracted, but I am jealous."

Bell was half laughing and half in a bad mood. Motarike's face was indescribable.

Tianwangxing in the picture seemed a bit embarrassed. His cheeks were dyed vermilion, and he lowered his head slightly. Actually, it would be embarrassing; it directly conveyed his feelings about being a model.

This would be a picture.... I have nothing to say.

"Well..."

If I show you such a picture, who would you be? This would be...

"Right?"

I even doubt whether such a player really exists."

"Stop..."

I can hear the trembling voice, but this is what I deserve. Watch how you look in the eyes of others.

"By the way, if you were to price this picture of the princess, how much would it be?"

"Aisha!?"

"The price... I never thought about it.

I painted the other paintings to sell them, but I painted this picture of the princess because I like it."

"Motariketemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"Hmm, that's rude..."

Sorry to ask about the price.

I just thought that if possible, I might buy it."

"What are you going to do with it!?"

"Hey Tianwangxing, calm down."

The child is soothing the princess who has been making a fuss for a while. Hmm.

"Because of Seam, these guys..."

"Tianwangxing is a princess, he should be more elegant.

Look, just like this picture."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Sew, Agui said with a smile.

"Ahahahahaha.

Are you a princess? You all are very interesting."

"This isn't funny, hmm..."

Uranus crouched down and wiggled toward the laughing Mr. Bell.

"I am grateful that you let me out, but I am hesitant because I cannot take this kind of thing with me.

Hey Molly."

"Correct...

I won't say everything, but I don't want to give up on this matter."

"......

Perhaps it will succeed."

Uranus's calm voice interjected into the couple's conversation. I was still gasping for air on the ground.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"... First of all, it is surprising that some items can be taken out of the game as they are."

"Otherwise, the clothes you buy in the game will be torn off every time you go out."

"Ah, I understand...

This is correct."

"Of course, to be on the safe side, it is absolutely impossible to create, but ordinary paintings like this might be possible.

I have no proof."

"Hmm...

You won't know unless you try, right? How scary."

"...... Even if it cannot be taken out, it is almost certain that there is a way to retrieve it."

"Is there any way?"

Mr. Bell tilted his head—I noticed. Oh yeah.

"Is Uranus talking about the Lost and Found Messenger?"

"Yes.

... Even if this picture is left behind, it can be retrieved by using the lost and found delivery service in real life."

"Is it something in the Specified Pocket?

But it's useless if it's not used in real life, so clearing it is a major prerequisite, isn't it?"

Uranus stood up and looked at me.

Hmm... I cannot give a convincing explanation without disclosing a certain amount of information. Can't help it.

"The player who cleared the game last time chose the Lost and Found Messenger as a clear reward.

It seems to be a reusable item, and you might still have it on hand.

I know that player."

"Uh, are you serious!?"

Mr. Bell was truly surprised, and Mr. Motarike widened his eyes.

Well, I didn't lie. It's just not all the facts.

I just don't know if I can really get it back until I try... Uranus might have realized this too, but he might be trying to convince him now. I don't have time to verify it.

"That's right. One less reason to stay in the game, right?"

"Oh...

Still, this is true. I mean, you feel much better."

"Come on, don't poke me.

... By the way, Motarike."

"What?"

"Why do you call Aisha?"

One. Uranus, listen now. "Hmm?" Mr. Bell responded.

"Why..."

"I am sure I definitely picked you up."

"The decision is different now!"

"Then what is this?"

"That is...

Of course, I want you to be the model for this Painting."

"What?"

Mo, model? Me?

"... Probably.

Looking back, you were a bit strange.

Staring at Aisha aimlessly."

"What's wrong...

You interrupted me when I tried to make you the model for this Painting."

Look at the painting of Uranus again.

No, no. That was a bit embarrassing... or rather, awkward. Aside from the fact that the photo shoot itself was about to end, being watched for hours as a painting model...

"I don't look like a painting model, do I? Not at all."

I waved my hand to shake off everyone's gaze.

"Hmm... This is frustrating, but I understand what Molly wants to say is model."

"From now on, I want to ask you."

"I want to see what kind of picture Aisha will take."

"I can do it too, so Aisha can be the model without any complaints."

"You might be too. I agree with Aisha's point of view."

Uh, uh, it turned into an atmosphere that was hard to refuse. Disgusting.

"Well, that's not the point!

This will take some time, and we are in a hurry now! Hey Uranus?"

"Is that so?"

"Hmm... Indeed.

I have a lot of things to do, and I am busy every day."

"But you are sightseeing, right?"

"This is also a kind of game strategy.

I am not leisurely sightseeing."

"I see...

Sorry, Molly."

"Then it can't be helped...

Uranus, I have a consultation."

"I refuse, you bastard.

For the same reason, I have decided to refuse. I will never accept you again."

"... That photo, do you not like it?"

"That is not the problem!"

"Ahahaha.

Molly, you both vomited quite well.

... By the way.

Why do you talk to these children at all but not to me?"

Mr. Motarike moved his gaze away from the intimidating-looking Mr. Bell,

"You are too young...

... That habit, because my legs are thick."

As soon as the words fell, the whole place went quiet.

Mr. Bell, who had no reaction.

Even I, who could not see Qi, was subjected to some kind of bad pressure and recoiled.

"──And also...

Molly!!

What is the deal with the fat legs!!"

Uranus held down the student Bell who was about to jump up.

"Do do do do.

Calm down, calm down, calm down."

"Hana, speak!!

Grabbing such a young girl, legs, feet... ahhhhh!!"

Oh, Mr. Bell has really become abnormal. How much money does a person who calls themselves a young girl roar at me? How many angers have I encountered?

"Motarike, get out of the room immediately!

I will call you when you have calmed down."

"Oh please."

"Wait a moment, Molly!! Don't run!!"

"Hurry and go!!"

Motarike used all his strength to escape the basement. Mr. Bell, who was struggling hard.

"Little Zhi!

If you fight in a fit of anger, one of you will definitely get hurt."

"Damn it! I won't be satisfied unless I blow him away!!"

This... seems a bit difficult to contain.

If Uranus is exhausted because of this, that is not a problem, so I think I will be a bit rougher...

I went around behind Mr. Bell, who was blocked by Uranus, picked up my left arm, and gently mastered the joint.

"──Yeah!?

I want to hurt you!?"

"Please don't be angry.

If you don't move, you won't feel pain."

When I told him this, Mr. Bell suddenly stopped moving. If you give them this kind of pain, most violent opponents will calm down. I am glad it worked.

Loosen the hand. Mr. Bell hurriedly turned around and pointed at his own perfect arm joint.... Looking at me with terrified eyes.

"I am very sorry for my rudeness.

I don't want to bring too much burden to Uranus."

"Ah...

Well, sorry."

Uranus let out a breath and tidied up his messy clothes. My hair was also a bit fluffy.

"Have you calmed down?"

"Yes..."

"What Motarike said is also like that, but you are the same, don't go crazy in front of guests."

"Because...!

Saying she is fat in front of the audience makes Molly embarrassed!"

"Ah, I know, I know.

I'm sure he said he didn't like it, but actually you didn't get enough exercise, right? Then you are taller than us."

"Wuu wuu..."

I wonder if this is an indirect compliment on my thin legs. That is the problem. I must work hard at Training.... I don't want to end up looking like a Biscuit.

"You say you want to live a comfortable life as a wife, yet you make motarike work outside.

Give up that thickness."

"Don't say fatty to you!"

"When my husband told me he didn't want to be a model because he was fat, you guessed a lot, didn't you?

If you don't like it, go outside and exercise."

"Gucci Three!"

Mr. Bell gradually stepped onto the ground. Why are you provoking it... even if you stop it.

"Uranus, it's already nearby..."

"Oh yeah.

But Bell, you should at least exercise to stay healthy.

You really can't laugh when you're sick."

"I get it, you're noisy!

I can't go berserk anymore, so call me Molly."

"Chen, can I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"Bell, can you two make up?

Even dogs won't eat a couple's quarrel."

"Yes yes..."

Have you settled down for now? I am really a very tired person.

I am sure...

Will it end up like this? I hope Uranus can calm me down, but I am the only one who is afraid of you.... I don't mind.
