Chapter 26 (1/2)

Just as there was an act during the event opening, it was obvious that there would be one for the ending.

In order to do that, the servers went on maintenance from 9am-3pm on Thursday, and the developers announced that there would be an act to end the event on the official page.

Seems like it’s slated to be at the same time as last time, at 10:30pm.

Having obtained this information, Shuuhei told us there was a surge of 「Threads to cheer for Maou-chan」 in the BBS.

Since we had been too enthusiastic during the event, we decided to just watch the event and log out today.

However, that’s excluding Tobi, who was going to play for long.

We gathered in Heathrow town’s pub, we waited for the closing event while trying out the newly implemented hunger system.

The first meal we ordered in TB was…a sandwich made of rye bread, ham and cheese accompanied with some milk.

「Hmm…I think it’s pretty normal?」 (Yumir)

「Really? I believe the mustard gives it that kick it needs and it doesn’t taste half bad though?」 (Tobi)

「This person just doesn’t realize that her tongue has grown refined. It annoys me, but she’s been eating Hind-san’s cooking every day after all」 (Riizu)

「She says that it tastes normal but she’s eating it really fast. Look, they are falling all over the place」 (Hind)

「Hmm!」 (Yumir)

I picked up all the breadcrumbs and placed them on the empty plate on the table.

The owner who had made these sandwiches…was that refined and slender middle aged man.

Even though until yesterday he was only talking with people from the other side of the counter, today he was suddenly busy cooking.

It seems that you can buy alcohol as long as you are not a minor and there’s even a system that simulates being drunk.

By the way, regarding the food in TB…it seems that you won’t ever feel like you are full.

So, I’m glad that something like…you ate too much inside the game so you won’t feel hungry in real life won’t happen.

「I wonder if there will be any difference in taste depending on the shop? Considering the performance of the AI in TB, I wouldn’t be surprised if each shop had its own taste」 (Hind)

「If that’s the case, it would be fun to search for a shop that you like, right? Hind-san, will you cook inside TB too?」 (Riizu)

「Yeah I will. It seems that making your own food is cheaper than buying it after all」 (Hind)

「You are going to be frugal even inside the game…?」 (Tobi)

「He’s through and through like that, you know? He’s been like that since we started playing the game」 (Yumir)

Oh right, currently, Yumir’s name is not being displayed above her head.

Because she got such a score in the damage rankings, in order to not get involved with players that thought she cheated…though, she did get involved with them as soon as she logged in.

To summarize it in a gentle way…it went like this.

「For a knight to get 1st place, she obviously cheated! That kind of damage is suspicious!」

「Or, maybe she knows someone in the developer staff?」

The reality was that the words they used were far more abusive, so after calling a GM I asked him to take care of it.

Seems like the GMs go around TB disguised as normal players, so if you are lucky, they’ll answer your call right away.

Once we notified them, an old man with a mustache immediately came over and left after warning the players.

When it comes to abusive language, your account will be temporarily suspended after your 2nd warning.

That being said, per that GM’s suggestion, it was made so that only Yumir’s name would appear in the rankings.

Name display settings can only be changed by those players that haven’t done PK activities and their names are blue, PKs and people that have done criminal acts against NPCs are unable to hide their names.

There are quite a few players that hide their player names, so it shouldn’t be that odd for Yumir to do so.

For the record, we all changed our email settings to 「Friends only」.

This way, if they only know the player name, we don’t have to worry about receiving threatening emails.

Yumir said she was quite displeased about having to hide herself like this even though she had done nothing wrong, but seems like the developers will release a replay of the person that took 1st place so she’ll have to endure until then.

A short while ago, the developers emailed us asking if we wanted to release the replay to the public or not, since we were angry that the players doubted us, we all agreed to it.

If they kept doubting us, we wouldn’t be able to have fun in TB from now on after all.

It’s been decided that the replay video will be uploaded shortly after the event’s final act.

「Oh, the captions have appeared! Let us go and meet Maou-chan!」 (Tobi)

「Tobi, you like that sort of thing?」 (Hind)
