Chapter 294

──13 minutes 38 seconds 11──

"How many seconds was it yesterday?"

"Hmm... 46 seconds, I guess."

"Isn't the time supposed to be shortening?

In this situation, it might be better to look for other methods."

"What should you do to admit this is the best..."

"If only I could do my best. Isn't that obvious?"

"No way.

This child is really not like his rigid child natural law gender. Reward in the sense of being warlike."

"Isn't it bad?"

Of course, it is time to eliminate the Locust.

If your physical ability improves day by day, you can naturally shorten the time. ──But what I particularly value is the technical aspect.

First of all, my combat skills are not suitable for defeating opponents who Escape.... I realized this in NGL. As a warrior, I don't think as a Hunter.

My goal is not to become an excellent Hunter, but leaving my weaknesses in combat as they are would be a bit of a problem for a warrior.

"I mean, you often move like this after lunch."

"Hm?

No, this is not a Heavy burden. This is a Time Attack, so you don't have to wear weight.... Well, if I put the weight where I can Training, the mud in the field might not be able to hold it."

"Oh yes..."

Mew. I don't like Meleoron's reaction, but that's fine. Next is the turn of the three.

... No, wait. Can I let it pass like yesterday? Should I encourage him to use more ingenuity to fight? Because Uranus is there, things seem to have become much easier. Even if it was fine yesterday, I feel that if it is the same today, it won't be very good Training.

While I was thinking about various things, Uranus looked uneasy,

"What's wrong, Aisha?"

"That...

I have a question, but next time, why don't you try to eliminate the Locust yourself, Uranus?"

"Huh!? Just me alone?"

"Yes. You haven't done it yet, have you?

I think the reason you haven't done it until now is because you couldn't concentrate on looking for the Pearl Locust."

"Right... well.

If I eliminate the Locust myself, the probability of overlooking the Pearl Locust will increase significantly, you know?"

"Do you want to follow the three people other than you?

Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I haven't received Training in finding the Pearl Locust.

Well... I can't see the aura, so the chance of me ignoring them is high, but I hope those two can also undergo that kind of Training."

"... Finding the Pearl Locust is no problem, but what about catching the Pearl Locust?"

"That is...

Considering the pain of failure, it is better for me or you to catch it.

Are we going to do it this way?

Catch it yourself when you find it. I catch it when I find it.

If Meleoron or Seam finds the Pearl Locust, please tell me where it is. Whether it's me or Uranus, whoever is closer will catch it. How about that?"

"Hmm...

Should we just look for the Pearl Locust and tell them when we find them?"

"That is correct.

However, although Uranus is challenging."

"Okay. If it's okay."

"Yeah. I'm fine too."

"If both are fine, I'm fine too...

Okay. Next time, I will challenge myself. Aisha, mission accomplished."

"Yes."

I received the reward for eliminating the Locust, and in Exchange, Uranus accepted the request.

Uranus looked straight at the rice ears in front, where Locust were jumping around, waiting for an opportunity to enter the field.

As I said before, this is the first time Uranus has challenged alone. At least in front of us. Uranus handed the Mobile Phone to me, so I think I will do a Time Attack as well.

Siem and Meleoron are moving to both sides of the field. Slightly expanding the area to be covered, Escape is to prevent this from happening. Considering the possibility of being attacked by other players, this position is probably the best.

Uranus stepped into the field.

The Locust beside him disappeared in an instant. Fast—not just the physical handling of the upper body, but the speed of movement. They must have already occupied the position before entering the field. Moving without hesitation. His attack accuracy never dropped. In the blink of an eye, the Locust in my eyes disappeared.

Is this his true intention for giving up the search for the Pearl Locust?

When the number of Locust appearing at the same time reached the maximum, I checked my Mobile Phone. ──Seven minutes? This is still quite fast, but when I try it, it might take less than 3 minutes.

Uranus's speed has improved by a notch. At this time when the Locust reached maximum density, the number of defeated Locust increased significantly, possibly because they are conserving their strength. Sakura Hatsu Wind Gale likes, whirlwind vortex like dancing in the air.

I couldn't help but pay attention. The Discovery of the Pearl Locust was entrusted to me, so I have to keep a close watch.

──There. A small white shadow. It disappeared beyond the ears of rice in an instant, but I stepped into the field and chased after it with my eyes. The white Locust jumped up and down to avoid me.

Leap. Put your palm in the air, then close your hand tightly. It couldn't stay in the air and landed on the ground, crossing the side of the field with momentum. "Wow," Siem, who was there at the time, surprised me.

A Pearl Locust trapped in the hand turned into a card. I shrugged my shoulders while chanting "Book",

"This is seam coverage.

Please do not miss it."

"Uh, yes. Sorry."

In other words, is it difficult to use a seam that cannot use "Ki"? "Finger" itself also has the effect of strengthening eyesight. First of all, I don't know how good Seam's eyesight is, but it takes some time to adapt to seeing moving objects. In my opinion, Seam is still very immature.

... Hmm, I just realized this. Locusts, even if you hit them, they won't disappear. I put the Pearl Locust first, so I deliberately let the locusts fly towards my body... but if I hit my body with enough speed, even the Uranus aura on my body can knock me down without damaging my clothes. I don't want to aim for this. No matter what clothes you wear, your hair might be damaged. Crying when injured.

Uranus, who had only slowed down until then, slowed down. Are you tired?

Throwing something at me, a card skipped lightly over the ears of rice and fell in a parabolic arc.

I wanted to pick it up, but I missed. I hurriedly got the card I wanted into my hand.

As expected, it was a Pearl Locust Card.... I was drenched in sweat. I happened to be nearby, which made me slow down. Well, I'm tired.

I forgot... If you let me do this, that person will go crazy. I wonder if I should tell him to slow down. Well... if you care too much, you can't tell them both. Originally, pacing is also a technique.

... Oh, that's fine. Wait until it's over, and get angry when you're tired.

The number of locusts began to decrease significantly. Time passed—23 minutes.

Uranus stopped moving. No, my eyes are moving. Perhaps you also use "Yen". The locusts seem to have stopped spawning, so they are trying to occupy positions.

Uranus restarted. Moving at an unprecedented speed.... If I have a Kumite at this speed, I don't think I have a chance of winning. It would be interesting if we won.

Uranus continued to deal with the fact that the smoke from making cards blocked his vision. It was not only faster, but also not accurate enough. For such a long time, how much skill does it take to maintain an attack precision that can be called invincible? He never fell on the unstable field soil.

This time, Uranus's legs stopped. A gesture of picking something up while watching.

Uranus gained by turning what he picked up into a card. I threw it in front of me.

The thrown Stone grazed the rice ears and pierced the locust.

Uranus walked past here. Was that the last one after all? It's time...

Meleoron and Shim also noticed and ran towards me.

Ah, uwa. Zhao...

"Seam! Meleoron is fine, hurry up with the Towel!"

"Hmm? Hmm, yes!"

"Eh? Aisha, why are you in such a hurry—"

... Uh. Little Uranus.

You don't have that.

"Eh? What's going on?"

"a-se-de-su-ke-su-ke"

"...??"

... ──!?

Uranus rotated 180 degrees and returned to the field. Wow, my back and buttocks are covered in sweat...

"Oh, it's truly wonderful.

Uranus, you are more erotic than being naked."

Shim, don't say such good things. Leaving Meleoron aside, if you say you took a bath together, it's too convincing and not funny. Don't imitate your sister for that kind of thing.

"Uh, this is called eroticism! Give me the Towel quickly!!"

"Without it, how are you going to receive it?"

"Over there, everyone over there!!

If you carry it on your back, I'll take it without permission!!"

How careless.

While shaking the golden rice ears, I wiped my sweat with a Towel, while frantically patting my skirt to dry it slightly.

... Although it was still slightly Transparent, Uranus got better. I draped a Towel over my shoulder and stumbled out of the field.

"Sorry..."

"What are you thinking, really?

Blow it away until you're covered in sweat like that."

It looks worn out. It's not tired.

"If you had said that before, I would still understand.

If you are exhausted and attacked by other players, what will you do?"

"Ah...

I wonder if Aisha can do something."

"Are you relying on others?

In that case, you're in trouble if you don't consult me in advance."

"Yes..."

"Aisha. Leave the sermon for later.

First, Uranus, we must do something."

Hu... hmm, yes, of course.

"I don't care if I take a break, but...

When you two were exterminating the locusts..."

"Please don't lie.

Doesn't the Discovery of the Pearl Locust alone require considerable energy?

Did you forget that you two couldn't recover when you were exterminating the locusts the day before yesterday?"

"Hmm...

Yes, I forgot..."

"Aisha, another sermon."

I know, but Uranus... is too.

Is it reasonable to continue using brackets like this? It is still very Transparent.

"Let's stop the Locust extermination for now.

Uranus, please complete the request. Go back to the Inn and take a bath.

Then let's do it again."

"Hmm.

"Not good.

You can't always get rid of Locusts, so you should do it as much as possible."

"Hmm, that's right..."

He persuaded the reluctant Meleoron, and Uranus reluctantly agreed.

Besides that, Locust extermination can be done at any time. However, there isn't much time left for the limit of the Pearl Locust Card. If other players cut it off, you won't be able to conduct Training efficiently and earn money. Regardless of how much money, the Locusts are also convenient in terms of location.

Uranus looked depressed,

"Sorry, everyone.

I trekked to the landlord's house.

... Ahhh, enough! If you apologize with that face, I can't say anything at all!"

Meleoron crossed his arms and sighed,

"... Aisha.

I know, but don't say too much. That kid will completely break down.

At least do it when you aren't tired."

"...

Meleoron, you really support Uranus."

"Yeah?

... Uh, well. I've been taken care of.

If you were a kind person, you could overcome it; we would have been abandoned long ago."

What a pity. Now that you say it like that, I really have nothing to say.

Not just these siblings... me too.

I know why Uranus is in such a hurry. It's to get those two to start Training as soon as possible. I mean, for those two.

However, I really wish he would break his habit of losing control, to the point where his good temper has become a joke. Honestly, I can't help but worry. Because I'm going to choke myself.

But... am I qualified to point this out, since I am here relying on his kindness?

Hmm, be careful with my words, be careful tonight. At least, until the Ren on him disappears, I must try not to push him too hard.

"Aisha..."

Seam looked at me anxiously.

"Hmm, are you okay?

I understand..."

"If you two fight and break up, the two of us will head straight for destruction.

Please be nice to me."

Whatever, Meleoron. No, it's Heavy. When you say it like that.

Even if you didn't tell me, I would take care of you. It's impossible, but even if Uranus abandoned you, I intend to do so.

Uranus came out of the landlord's house with a depressed look on his face.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go back to the Inn."

"Uranus, I'll hold the Towel for you.

And this, water."

"Oh, seamsankyu."

Uranus received a plastic bottle and moistened his throat.

"Hmm... well, let's go, everyone."

"Yes.

Uranus, I said too much earlier. Excuse me."

"Not good.

The perfect one is me. I think I did it again...

I'll be careful later."

Hmm. It seems like he is reflecting, but perhaps this person won't change. After all, let's confirm it tonight.

"Hey, hey. Miss Big-Breasted Loli."

"If you call me that next time, I'll slap you, okay?

... What?"

In the ladies' bath, which exudes the scent of cypress and autumn leaves.

I heard something about a pervert from Yosen. I'm busy washing my hair, so please don't say strange things.

"No, I just wanted to say it because I saw a beautiful girl like you looking so gloomy. Do you understand?"

I don't know what to do!!

"If this is a stupid story, I won't listen to it anymore."

"Joke, joke.

... Sorry. Ai-ai just can't cooperate at all."

"Is that so?

I know there's no way around it, so you don't have to worry."

"But Aisha doesn't like that kind of thing, right?"

"......

I don't like it. I failed once before."

"But you made the big thing a success.

Compared to obtaining the designated Pocket Card, that kind of failure is trivial, isn't it?"

... I suppose so. But if you failed and everyone else succeeded, why wouldn't you care?

"Aisha, even though everyone is doing it reluctantly, I didn't participate."

"Meleoron couldn't participate even if he wanted to, so there's no way around it.

If we were the only ones there, we would have participated."

"That is correct."

"On the contrary, I was just worried about making you an outcast.

... Not fun, is it?"

After washing my hair, I went to the bathtub. Meleoron has an indescribable face.

"If you keep saying that, you will never be able to clear the game.

Is this game too sweet, being able to clear it without interacting with other players?"

"That is indeed the case, but..."

I said this while soaking in the bathtub. Phew. As always, the hot water is good.... Is it really tomorrow? Heading to Winter City? I can also enjoy the Hot Spring.

"But one of the purposes is to enjoy this game.

You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Hmm...

Does this mean that even if it's secondary, clearing should be prioritized?"

"......"

Even if you say so.... I want you to ask the leader. I am not the one who makes the decisions.

"Hey, Kuman-yang."

"Who is going to do... what?"

The men's bath of Cedar and Drizzle Autumn Leaves.

Recently, a child who looks exactly like my older sister called out to me from the bathtub. I am washing my hair, so don't say anything that will distract me.

"Don't hate Aisha, okay?"

"... Hmm.

What do you mean? Do you have any reason to hate me?"

"Then do you like her?"

"Wait a minute. What are you asking?"

"Uranus, do you like Aisha or hate her?"

…………

This guy, when you ask me, you know what I mean, right?

"Do I look like I hate Aisha?"

"No.

... But what if I said I like you?"

Ingredients.... You know very well, don't you? I don't know either.

"When...

As friends, I want to get along well."

"Yeah. That's fine."

I thought I had been persuaded. Well, it's true. Even if they suspect I mean more than that, I cannot answer.

I washed my hair and finally headed toward the bathtub. Sim raised his head from the bathtub and looked at me with some satisfaction.

I also soaked in the bathtub and took a long breath. While relaxing my exhausted body,

"More importantly, is the older sister okay?

I feel like Ai-ai is making me very annoyed."

"Maybe you are under a lot of pressure.

But when I say that, it seems like I'm talking about a strategy. I can only endure it for now, can't I?"

"I want to do something about it..."

"Quite the opposite."

"Hmm?"

"Older sister, you are tired from being like this for so long."

"Judging by the situation, I think it's getting easier. That's why I don't think it will occasionally make a loud noise."

"... Aren't you worried?"

"I am very worried."

As he said this, Seam closed his eyes.... In other words, that? Is it a younger brother's duty to worry about his older sister? We really are good friends.

Scoop up some water with both hands, then wipe your face.

Ha.... Older sister? I wonder how you've been doing these days.
