I saw soht…? I saw thedomThe country itself was situated on a landmass southwest from the Central Continent that seemed to be unsure whether it wanted to be a continent or an archipelago

Looking at the guidebook, the countries here seemed to have quite the South Ae country Soixansept Kingdom reminded me of the tropical paradises back on EarthIt was also one of the most fa countries weren't much different with their resorts and developed touriso to SoixanseptI had wanted to ride the World Tree network to the neighboring country, SanhuitJust as always, I bounced off its barrier, but in a way that put me on a trajectory toward a reef near Soixansept

…No, I'

Blobsy cleaned off the seawater and seaweed onspot, I had thought to ht as well take the chance to look around the nearby countrySome time later, on a beach so against several monsters

The adventurers were a party of threeTheir combat poere all below 100They all had si equipment, and their movements were somewhat aardMaybe they were players

Their opponents were three oat, and a rooster with a snake for a tailThey were standing on each other like the town musicians of Bremen

…monsters? Were they really just normal monsters?

All three only had around 60 to 70 co the floor with the players

Yeah, they were totally players using ah with itStill, theirthe sa the avatars in seroup of ex-beta players bullying the newbies, really… Well, whateverNot like they were harot ready to leave them to their business

Suddenly, an unexpected breeze blew pastI instantly held down le beat later to do the same with my skirt

Wartos, the City of Pleasure

Sautonn, the City of Ga

As you could see from their titles, the two countries weren't exactly wholesomeSimilarly, the word 'City' reflected the fact that these two nations' government and population were concentrated in their capital citiesThe countries the

In other words, it was just another one of my harebrained plans

Well, those weren't exactly the only reasons, though…

Three days later, I arrived at the coast near WartosI turned human, wore my cloak, and headed toward the City of PleasureFirst off, I'd need to find a way to get in

To be honest, I was nervous trying to attack a large countryStill, considering the current situation, I had a chance of success
