Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 307: Hell prime minister and event explanation

The next morning, Kaito came early in the morning and woke me up byknocking on the door.

"You want me to make frog meat for dinner that badly? You!"

"I'm sorry! So stop this shit! It's extreme! Because I'm really getting it! And don't even get me started on the frog meat!"

Good grief. I've been wasting my energy since this morning.

"But you really lived alone in a house, didn't you?"

"Well, this wouldn't normally happen. There's a spare room upstairs, if you want to take it. You can at least take out the futon"

"Seriously!? Thank you. To be honest, I was planning on sleeping on the couch or on the ground"

I can't let that happen.

"Ah, here. It's from my mother. Here are some snacks and juice I bought at a convenience store"

"...I didn't know you were capable of this"

"How low do you think I am in your estimation!"

Because it's Kaito. It's raining today and tomorrow.

I log into the game and Arleigh shows up.

I immediately tell him about yesterday and he is very envious. According to Arleigh, it is a given that Jeanne is a cute character in the game. I guess it's not a given.

After exchanging opinions about Jeanne, we talked about NPCs.

"How many famous NPCs has Takuto met?"

"Would it be Hephaestus, Reginleif, Heliya, Hippocrates, Olivier, D'Artagnan, Jeanne? I've probably met Druj Nasu once"

"That's a lot of people"

The fact that there are so many creme de la cremes means that it looks like others have appeared.

"The two confirmed in Reich are Laurent and Euphemos. Laurent was a Knight Captain and Euphemos was in a port town"

Laurent is a famous hero in Durandal. He and Olivier are supposed to be comrades-in-arms, but not in this game, it seems.

Euphemos was supposedly one of the Argonauts and the son of Europa and Poseidon. I don't know about anecdotes.

"In the case of Wantwork, it has been confirmed that Kubera is a millionaire"

He is the patron god of the north in Indian mythology. He's the god who protects the treasures that the gods have taken back from the Nagas. No wonder he's a millionaire.

I heard that no one has been confirmed in Veinreef"

"It's where Hephaestus originally came from"

"Come to think of it, yes, that's true. I hear there's been a few other NPCs here and there that are joining us"

I see. But no one is coming. Come to think of it, there are no restrictions on what I can bring this time, so I should cook.

If anyone comes, I asked Arleigh to explain.

While I was cooking and making bombs, people started to gather one after another. I bought items from Ruin-san and everyone is checking their equipment.

I heard that Mew-san was producing until the last minute. I also got two new pairs of water-resistant snake shoes from Wako and gave them to Wako and Sephone.

After that, I logged out before noon and was about to eat something that Kaito's mother gave me when I found a letter in my mailbox.

I thought it was addressed to me, but when I looked at it, I saw that it was not. I showed the letter to Kaito.

Don't bother your friend by playing games all the time

Apparently, it was obvious. No, if he was always playing games, it was only natural that he would be exposed.

By the way, the dish I received was meat and potatoes. It was delicious.

Finally, it was time for the event to begin.

The place we were forcibly transferred to was a village. I guess this is the village of the rainy season.

Then Arleigh and others appeared one after another. When we were going to gather information in the village, we suddenly heard distorted laughter from behind us.

We looked in the direction of the laughter and saw a clown wearing a mask with three strangely curved horns. I had a bad feeling about this. If my guess was correct, this guy was the kind of enemy that appears as a mid-boss before the last boss battle.

"Demon?"

"Yes. My name is Lucifuge Rofocale. It's a long name, so please call me Lucifuge"

Lucifuge Rofocale is a demon from the Grand Grimoire. He is the most powerful demon after Lucifer, Beelzebub and Astaroth, the rulers of Hell. He is, after all, the Hell Prime Minister or the Demon Prime Minister

Furthermore, the Grand Grimoire contains instructions on how to summon Lucifuge Rofocale and it is said that summoning Lucifuge Rofocale is the true essence of this magic book.

Such a demon speaks out.

"First of all, thank you very much for participating in the game prepared by Demon King Bael-sama"

A game for the Demon King Bael?

"What do you mean?"

"Yes. I would like to explain that it is Demon King Bael-sama who has invited you all to this village. This is the time of year when the Demon King Bael-sama is at his most powerful, so he has decided to play with you humans"

That's light...Demon King Bael.

"This time there are monsters and demons under the control of Demon King Bael-sama. I ask you all to play with them. If you can defeat them, you will free this village from the control of the Demon King Bael-sama"

Hmm? So you don't think this village is...

"Are we on the Dark Continent?"

Lucifuge laughs at my question.

"Huhu. It is indeed the human being that Demon King Astaroth-sama is paying attention to, isn't it? As you may have guessed, this is the Dark Continent. You already know what this means, don't you?"

In other words, if we can liberate this village, we can enter the Dark Continent. This is huge.

"Yeah. Just out of curiosity, are you going to join in on the fun?"

"I am sure you will be relieved. I will not participate. I'm too busy. Unlike the Demon Kings, I manage the finances of this continent, so I don't have time to play"

"But then you go to the trouble of explaining it to me"

"It's my job, too. I look forward to your efforts. Ah, yes. For those who don't want to fight, we have prepared treasure chests in this village and in the forest. Please be careful, because you will be targeted when you enter the forest. Now, please choose which of the games you want to play and then enjoy yourselves"

With that, Lucifuge disappeared. An unexpected biggie, but if you don't want to join in for now, thank God. And Ruin-san's reading is spot on. So the treasure hunt is a factor prepared for production jobs, etc. The info is coming.

Combat or treasure hunting. Please choose which you want to do

I check with Chiffon and the others, but of course they choose combat. Then Chiffon asks me about the exchange we had earlier.

"Emm, what do you think now, Takuto-kun?"

"I understand that if we can liberate this place, we won't have to risk crossing the ocean to the Dark Continent. Furthermore, Demon King Bael will not appear this time, but will most likely make an appearance at the next event"

If this time was just for fun, the next time will be the real deal.

"Well, that's what he said. And if Astaroth is watching you, then it seems certain that Astaroth is still alive"

That's what he's saying. Well, let's see...

"Then, let's gather information about the village again"

The three of them look surprised.

"Wait a minute. Shouldn't we just go hunting now that we have the information?"

"That's true, but all we've been told about the village is that it is ruled by Demon King Bael. That's what I'm stuck on"

"That's definitely weird...what do you think? Chiffon"

"E, Emm......then, we should gather some information, too"

So we all split up to gather information.

What we found out is that the name of the village is Dozhd Village. This village is ruled by demon king Bael and it rains all year round. And we found an inn.

When we all gathered together, the information was the same. Was this a misreading? But I am curious about something.

"Why are you covered in mud?"

"...Bumped into a girl with a red flower and fell"

"Pervert"

"I knew you would say that! I'm telling you, I didn't push her over! On the contrary, she went through it completely!"

He didn't even apologize...pathetic. Well, that's enough information gathering for now, let's go and earn some points for now.

----------------------------------

TL note: Dozhd means rain in Russia and with the red flower girl you can find out the plot of the event:)
