143 # 134 Event start and unexpected encounter.txt (1/2)

Log in at 12 noon and decide which members will participate in the event. It was decided that Lily, Ion, Setia, Ricule and Darley. Liqueur and Darley couldn't be left out, and after a lottery between the four of them, Love Fire is, unfortunately, left out.

As we're playing the raffle, Hephaistos brings three glass swords. Just in time...

'I'm sorry. It was ready yesterday, but I think there was some kind of dispute, so I couldn't give it to you.

Ahh, yesterday, after dueling with Hanabi-chan, I headed to the Beast Demon Guild to talk to Lily and the others, and I was logged out. It was my fault for not making time.

''There's nothing for Hephaistos to apologize for. I had a lot to say to Lily and the others yesterday. I didn't make time for you...sorry.

It's okay. This is the finished product.

Sure. Can you restore the durability of our weapons?

Yes!

Then Ruin and the others and Mel and the others join us and we all eat and restore our fullness to fullness.

Then Setia and Hephaistos finish getting their weapons ready. Now that all the preparations are finished, it's time for the event to begin.

''It's about time.''

Good luck with your event.

Yes, sir.

The start of the event is announced.

'The event 'Survival on a Remote Island' will now begin. Please beware of forced transfers.

And with the forced transfer, we are transferred to a forest we don't know.

Now, the event has started, but what should we do?

Wha...?

Suddenly Setia looks like she is in pain.

'Setia!　Are you okay?

Mr. Tact, there's something wrong with this forest. The whole forest's been poisoned.

What?

Poison? I look around. It's just an ordinary forest. That's where I find the apple-like fruit. I put the gravel against the apple and drop the apple.

”Yummy!

'Yes. It looks normal and delicious.

I'll appraise.

Poisoned Apples: rarity 1 food item Quality F-.

A poisoned apple. If you eat it, you will die instantly.

A poisoned apple! And a quick death is too dangerous!

I'm going to cut it with a fruit knife. It's a regular apple...this is a bad one.

This apple in this game where you can't get decent ingredients at first...this apple...it's too vicious.

I use communication to Luin-san, Kayo's sister. There's a friend who's grayed out... probably someone who went to a different server... fortunately, the people who are close to me seem to be together.

'The other party is logging out.'

I'm sorry I'm so late... but I'll leave you an email. Now, we need to figure out a strategy. And just as I'm thinking about it, here comes the monster. It's the same boa that we've come to know and love. But it's purple in color, and it's not as poisonous as an apple. I'll try to identify it.

Poisonous boa Lv 1

Event Monster Target Active

Lilly.

Yeah!

Lilly's full swing hits. Boa. Rest in peace.

Now, I'm going to take it apart. You didn't drop the item.

This confirms that we are now in a critical situation. Since this is a survival event, we can't bring in any ingredients or food.

That means we have to get the ingredients locally. But there's poison all around us. This is not good!

Setia... is everything around here poisonous?

Yes... as far as I can tell.

Well... can you detect anything that isn't poisoned?

I can do it. I'm an elf!

That's all I can ask for. We should chart the range of Setia's detection as we go along. Now we know what we're going to do.

We'll move as quickly as possible!　I have no use for food where it's poisoned.

I get on the liqueur that was waiting nearby. I wonder if I hated Lily's piloting so much before? Let's just say it was my imagination. And Setia, who carpools in a haphazard manner.

'What are you doing!　Setia!

Aeon will take a bite out of it, but this will be critical.

''I have to go and teach Tact-sama, so I don't have a choice, do I? Is it better than that?

No, what do you mean...

Ion turns around and sees Lily on the Darley. Aeon's face turns blue.

'See!　Aeon!　Now get in!

Well, wait!　Lilly!　If you want to operate Darley, I'll handle it!

No. The sooner the better.

It's not that Ion doesn't want to operate.

'Good luck. Aeon, sister.

With Setia's ale, Aeon's hour of terror began. At one point, I pushed for Aeon to pilot, but there was no way I could stop the surprisingly stubborn Lily. I didn't expect the lack of cooking to affect me here.

We're currently blasting through the forest. However, it's peaceful here, and Lily and the others are running amok. The boa that approached Lily and her friends has been blown up. I'm beginning to feel sorry for Boa.

However, we're talking about a remote island, but the scope is too vast. We've been driving the liqueur for nearly an hour now, but it's not the ocean, it's the forest all the way. And it's still a poisonous forest. I had a full stomach, but I felt uneasy.
