Chapter 54: Ominous Request and Capture Group Trap



Chapter 54: Ominous Request and Capture Group Trap


It's been a while since I've leveled up with Kayo and the others. I'm sad to say that I haven't been able to level up at all lately. And I met Kaito in the town. He was looking at me and smiling. I didn't see him looking at Lily and the others and I thought he had formed a party with a pretty girl, but apparently not.

And I was unusually summoned by Ruin-san and the others.

"Is this your first time to be called?"

"Yes, it is. But I didn't call Takuto-kun out of spite either"

"What do you mean?"

"To be frank, a few guys of the capture group are inviting Takuto-kun to attack the boss

Wow. I'm going to fight that guy...I don't think I can win.

"There's going to be 30 of us this time, but we've been talking about it on the bulletin board for a while. And this is a formal request"

You're not making much sense. Or rather 30 people?

"I don't understand the meaning of capturing with 30 people?"

"30 is the maximum number of people the Legion can have. ...But there seems to be something behind this story..."

There, Crow-san will take over.

"Other players have a grudge against you because of the little girls, but you didn't aim for it, so there's nothing you can do about it"

Well, since it is not possible to recreate the character, will such a thing come out naturally?

"And that's because it's after the previous incident with the tamers...we're suspicious that there's an ulterior motive"

It's true that the timing seems strange...but that's not the problem.

"Can I refuse? Ruin-san and the others were asked, right?"

"Yes. It was discovered during the mid-boss battle that there was a connection between us and Takuto-kun...so we accepted the formal request"

Looking at it this way, it's definitely suspicious...I feel like they're taking the initiative so that I won't refuse.

"...I understand. I'll accept it"

"Are you sure? It could be dangerous"

"It's true that the level is not rising anymore. Even if it's a trap, I'll do my best"

I said that and decided to log out for the day. Tomorrow, Sunday, is going to be rough.

I logged in on Sunday, but I had plenty of time to spare, so I went ahead and tried to do the magic stone summon. It failed. It's my first failure, but it's too ominous to fail today.

I left my money and valuables at the guild and filled my inventory with stones. I hope it's just my imagination, but I have a bad feeling about this.

I think it feels even more so because it is said by Ruin-san and others, but I feel that the unpleasant premonition is because there is a risk that it will happen. If you don't have such a thing, you won't feel it. If something were to happen, it would be at the upcoming meeting with the capture group.

And then I explained the situation to Lily and the others and told them to go back to the summoned stone.

"No!"

"I don't like it"

"I refuse"

Well, I knew this would happen. Now, what should I do to persuade them?

"If we're going to be fighting a lot of strong people, we should be there"

"Yes, we should! Lily will punish the bad guys!"

"I'll show you how sinful it is to lay a hand on Takuto-san"

You're too tough. These kids...but I'll have to convince them.

"Okay? I admit that Lily and the others are strong. However it's not just people with swords that we'll be dealing with. Of course, there will be magicians and archers as well. I don't want to send you to such a battlefield. Please understand"

"You don't want to see us get hurt, do you, Takuto-san"

I nodded to Ion's question. Then Ion answers.

"It's the same for us. We can't just sit around and wait for Takuto-san to fall"

Ion replied. If you say so, I can't stop you.

"That. Ion"

"I will never pull out. Even if we lose, even if we don't stand a chance, we won't be beaten for free by those who would do such a thing!"

She's stubborn in a weird way. This girl....

"Yes! I'll defeat as many of them as possible!"

"I'll show them how strong we are!"

Haa~ I can't convince them. This is...who does she look like...is it the only one I can think of?

"All right. But Setia is no good"

"What!? Why not!?"

Setia gets angry, but of course there is a reason.

"Magicians are a good target this time. If you try to chant a spell, you will end up with a bow and arrow attack. I can't allow myself to bring a child who I know will die if I can't do anything"

"Uh..."

Setia asked for Lily and Ion's support, but it would be impossible to argue with me.

"...I understand. I'll take Takuto-sama's feelings into consideration this time"

"Good girl"

I patted Setia's head and she smiled pleasantly. Lily and Ion make a noise when they see it.

"Ah! Only Setia-chan is unfair!"

"We'll demand the same!"

When I saw the situation, I got a flash.

"If you listen to me and go back to the summoned stone, I'll stroke you"

When Lily and Ion heard this, their reactions changed.

"Eh!? Emm, then"

"Not good! Lily! You can't lose!"

"But, Ion-chan..."

"Kuu! Takuto-san! That attack is unfair!"

I don't know why she was so angry. Is it that good? This?

So in the evening, after an early dinner and bath, I logged into the game. Then, taking only Lily and Ion with me, I met up with Ruin-san and the others and headed for the beginning meadow. There was a group of players.

"Welcome everyone at the first boss subjugation party, I am Arthur, the leader of this boss subjugation"

It's refreshing to see King Arthur in first person. And he looks dumb. It's the first player in the game I've met that I don't want to get involved with.

"However, I've received a request this time. The request is about you, the summoner over there"

Uwaa, I've been approached. Worst.

"...What is it?"

"Are you looking at the bulletin board?"

"I don't see it at all"

"I see...then all I can say is this. I want you to reveal all of your summoned beasts data"

Ha? What are you talking about? That guy.

"Is it a little good?"

"You are not authorized to speak. Gawain, Lancelot"

The two swordsmen point their swords at Ruin-san and Crow-san.

"I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to interfere"

"You're going to end up on the receiving end of this"

If a real knight of the Round Table saw this scene, he would be in despair. No, would they be executed as those who defile the name of the Round Table? Either way, it wouldn't make a good impression.

"For the time being, the players who formed a party with me should have disclosed the information?"

"Did they have any information about the girls?"

"I gave them permission to release at least their names"

"Don't talk"

Which one of us isn't talking?

"We demand that you release all information"

"I refuse"

I'm being generous, so I'll at least give you a reason"

A truly generous person wouldn't say that to you.

"So, are all of you who have made this request to myself disclosing all of your information? Status, acquired skills, weapon information, etc."

"You wouldn't disclose such important information, would you? You're an idiot"

I'm not going to play it down anymore. It's my first time meeting, so I'm not good at it, but I don't feel the need to be bad at people who call people stupid.

"You're an idiot. It doesn't make sense to just disclose information when you don't disclose it. Sorry, the story ends here. I came here at the request of the boss subjugation. If this is the kind of nonsense you're talking about, I'm going home right now"

"Is that so...then evil must be destroyed"

The man who called himself Arthur drew his sword and the others around him raised their weapons. Seeing this, Lily and Ion stand in front of me.

"Would you please step aside? You guys"

"We're not moving!"

"We won't let you touch Takuto-san"

"Oh, dear. Apparently you guys are also tainted by evil"

What the hell is this guy talking about? It's not about me. I know I'm not a good person, but I can't let him think that Lily and the others are evil.

I'll show you what justice is and we'll purge you first"

Do you want to say that you will fight against Lily and the others?

"Takuto...give me permission"

"I won't lose to such a person"

Before their strong wills, I gave my permission.
