The reason why I knew about this was because I saw a battle video posted by a certain guild who met this boss at the end of the dungeon attack. But, that battle was tragic. Cannon shells rained upon the players from the cruiser sized battleship that glided on the land, and if the players tried to enter close quarter combat, the swords on the battleship hulls were waiting to slice them off. That video showed that 8 person party were annihilated in a minute.
One would understand just how difficult a task to defeat that boss as long as they saw that video. Especially for the vanguards of the capture team. Really, they couldn’t afford to underestimate that boss..
「What kind of remuneration you ask for? 」
If I was facing normal people, they would’ve already jumped on my proposal. However, one of my opponents was someone who had far more life experience than me, and the other one was a slightly eccentric person. Thus why I had to be prepared for something that was slightly beyond my expectation.
「Give it up, I won’t ride on that offer.」
Yup, it was slightly above my expectation.
「You guys will become our greatest contender in hunting the boss first kill as long as you used it. Thus, obtaining that item shouldn’t be that simple. We who had challenged Jiisha in Okinawa with similar item understand this fact.」
Aah, that surely wasn’t a half-hearted journey for sure.
The item to weaken the boss was given to us when we parted ways with Kanon. Maybe it’s a reward for clearing that quest. But for us, that quest had yet to end. We―― Didn’t have the qualification to use that item.
「And yet, why did you want to exchange that valuable item with our incomprehensible item? To begin with, does our item even have any value at all?」
After he said that, Taii took an item from his pocket and placed it on the table.
「The name of this item is 【Tear of Angel】. The explanation used on it is rather boring. It’s “an item to resurrect an NPC”. Resurrection medicine for NPC was a rarity indeed. After we compared this item with the information that we got in our hand, it seems that there’s only one of this item, which is in our hands.
But as we know beforehand, there’s almost no merit in resurrecting NPC. First, they’re not strong enough to be added as our party member, and they don’t make any change even if they died and left the party. It’s just one string of data that vanished from the game.」
Yes, he’s absolutely correct in this matter. It’s just one lost data in the game which could be ignored. But, we didn’t really care about such things.
「We absolutely need that item to keep our promise with a little girl.」
I told them my true feelings, and biggest regret. For her, I didn’t even mind casting away something like a boss capture. That was the general consensus in our party.
「Hah, what reason is that. I don’t even understand what did ya me――DOGYA! ? 」
Today, the second fist rained incessantly on the head of Gunsou. That must hurt.
「That look in your eyes. It seems that there’s special circumstances. Surely, it’ll balance with all of the trouble that we experienced in order to get this item.」
「…. Then? 」
Taii nodded as if he understood something.
「This transaction is way too good for us. Thus, I’ll gladly accept such transaction.」
「T-Thank you very much」
With this………. Now we could challenge that quest once more.
「It’s our pleasure to make a transaction with you too.」
Having said so, we exchanged a stiff handshake.
「Well, now that our business has been concluded. I have something to talk to you in private, Sou-san.」
「Eh, In private, with me? 」
I wonder what kind of talk was this? Was it about the previous emergency quest?
「Yes. I heard that one of my guild members was rudely soliciting you to join our guild few days ago.」
Ahh, that event outside of HelloWork huh.
「Please, do forgive our impolite member for the trouble he caused! 」
After saying that, Taii did a splendid ojigi with his upper body perpendicular to the floor.
「Moreover, though apologizing to you was supposed to be the thing that I have to do the first time we met, I delayed it until the end of our negotiation…thus, please accept my deepest apologies.」
Now I had to stop him since he was lowering himself to the point of doing dogeza.
「N-No, I-I don’t really mind about that matter.」
「But, that doesn’t mean I don’t mind about that matter. Our previous conversation is about the guild in general, but now our current conversation is a personal conversation of the guild master, namely me, with you. I’m in the position of the one who bear the responsibilities of this matter.」
「No, I really don’t mind about that incident. Since I didn’t even receive any real harm in that event, your apologies alone is plenty enough」
Well to be honest, I thought he would say something along the line about them discovering the matter of that mysterious game of tag [PK Incident] and that emergency quest MVP.
「I see now…………. Thank you very much. Ah, may I register you into my friend list please? I mean, our side wish for more interactive information exchange with your side from now on.」
Oops, it came huh. Normally I would readily accept this offer, but it’s another story when the other party was a famous character. U~hm, what should I do I wonder……….
「No, Taii, I a―― GYAAAAAA! ? 」
The third fist of fury rained down on Gunsou head. The image of this person diminished bit-by-bit compared to the first time I saw him.
「Good grief……. This is why you can’t fit in into the unit.」
Stage? Are they members of theater club? [TL : Sou misunderstood the “Butai/unit” as “Butai/stage”]
「C-Captain, T-That has nothing to do with this.」
Captain? DO they even have such a role?
「YOU FOOL, IT’S NOT CAPTAIN[TAICHOU], IT’S TAII! The same one as the emergency quest too. Since your memories seem to be as wonderful as goldfish, Just write the name of the other member too already.」
You even needed to write the name! Rather, this had already turned into co-mentoring wasn’t it!
Oh crap, the story wouldn’t advance at this rate. Should I take the item first? I mean Yukihime-san looked like she wanted to snatch those keys and left.
「Well Taii-san, we didn’t mind such matter you know. Yup, now that we’ve registered as friend, please take care of me thereafter.」
Thus in this way, we obtained two peculiar friends who was most likely working on the theater in their real life and one way ticket to keep our promise with Kanon.
