Chapter 11: The Promise with Sonya

「A Female Wizard PKer, is it?」

「A Wizard see to PK some Friends, so I would like you to do a search and see if any similar incidents have occurred」

As Edgar arrived at his Horeeted him What he wanted to ask was about that subject

Wanting to find out the true identity of the aforear’s mind was to ask Sonya

A Support NPC was as the na conversations through a Natural Language Processing interface Aside froon’s Krone server, they were able to access information from a variety of databases as well as open data on the internet

In other words, by conversing with a Support NPC, it was possible for you to search for infor a massive database

「Understood, Edgar-sama Please wait one moment」

Closing her eyes, as if she was deep in thought, Sonya remained silent for a while

「…… A the information maintained by the adards to exchanges between different Players, but I did no see any incidents that match with the desired specifications However, lately on the internet there has been a steady rise in organic searches in relation to Dragon’s Krone and a certain Keyword」

「What Keyword」

「It is『Sa』」

「…… Sa?」

Hearing Sonya say that Keyword, Edgar began to recall the words that Wizard had said

According to Suzu-san and Megu-san, that Wizard was saying that she was looking for a Player with the class Sa for a Samurai She must be related to this Keyword somehow

Or rather, what is Sa” suppose to mean

「Can you tell me the details?」

「I will be conducting an integrated analysis of the correlating databases so please wait one moment」

Sonya once again closed her eyelids

Since the internet is a fragather similar parts of information and associate them for analysis, only then can you co for

If you had to do this all by hand then it would take an overwhel amount of tiration and analysis, you would probably pass out froon’s Krone, Sonya can utilizes the architecture of “Cloud Co power It only took her merely 1 second to complete the search

「Sa a portion of high level players have been doing It is the generic nao out and PK members of the Samurai Class」

「So it’s PKing with Saet?」

「It is just as you say Upon confiron’s Krone database, within the past 5 days there as been a large increase in mortality rates for Samurai Players due to PK」

「The reason being?」

「My apologies I a behind it at this moment」

The infor on their SNS after all

The victi why they were attacked, huh

「Hmm~」

High level Players are going after Sa them

Based on what Sonya said, there’s a high possibility that the Wizard who attacked Suzu-san and Megu-san is so」

But, I just don’t see a reason for it

Incidents where a particular Class is targeted for PKing more frequently than others, this isn’t the first time this has happened

In the past, there was an incident where, due to a series of version updates, the Thief Class was buffed and beca Players erupted into an episode where Players took radually started to PK Thiefs

Because of that incident the population of Thief Classes steadily decreased, and in a panic the developers were in a hurry to adjust the Thief Class’s Stats The incident ended with the Thief Class receiving a nerf to their stats; lowering their stats to a more mild level

However, this time is different

“Sa that would happen, and a version upgrade was still far off in the future

In any case, this Saated by the vast majority of Players

The driving force behind this…… For exaainst Samurais──

「…… Megu-san ht about all this」

The words that Megu said in the classrooar’s mind

As expected, that Wizard is friends with those「Colluding Players」…… Maybe she was trying to give her「Thanks」for what happened during the Grand Mission As she was searching for ht have started to slowly PK Samurai Players, it’s certainly a possibility

「Edgar-sae has arrived」

And then, in the corner of his eye floated a new mail mark

There wasn’t ar could guess who it was fro to contact him

「……Today’s hunt is canceled, huh」

The sender of the e was Suzu

The contents said「I wish to put today’s gathering on hold」, so to that effect

The incident where they were attacked happened just yesterday Not even a day has passed yet, so it wouldn’t be strange if they were hesitant to log in and show their faces

But, in that case, this was a chance to investigate about this「Sa」

「Edgar-sama, Shall I accompany you as well?」

「……Eh?」

「Since your plans for today have been canceled, you were planning on investigating this『Sa Sah you are an experienced player yourself, it is dangerous for you to act alone」

As if she could read his mind, Sonya offered up those words

Because Support NPCs arethe behavioral patterns they observed from the Player so far, apparently it was possible for them to predict a Player’s actions when they receive new information

Anticipating a Players thought process, and then Supporting them however they can, in the end a Support NPC’s duty is to make sure that the Player can have a fun, stress-free experience in Dragon’s Krone

「Now that you ether when everything was taken care of』, didn’t I」
