ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 537: An Orchestra Just For You PART 17 Part 2
Despite all of the turmoil that this Delinquent Bunny Asshole has caused, Catzeria is still forced to have more or less friendly relations with Rabbitz. And it’s Catzeria’s dependency on Rabbitz that I want right now…… To be more exact, it’s about that…… Dal, no, what was his name again……? Dalmatian…… No, was it Darnana? Anyways, I need him to process the materials that I had Efuree process and make them into two accessories.
There is a simple theory circulating around this game: “Even items that players can’t own can be passed between NPCs without much of a problem.” …… No, or should I leave this consideration to the guys at the Library?
Right away, I slate the two dolls into the additional accessory slots that Efuree expanded for me. The characteristic form that is so familiar that you get tired of seeing it is actually using “real” materials this time around, and even though it is a deformed figure, an aura of intimidation seems to be wafting from the doll that looks just about ready to kill players beneath level ten on the spot.
The name of this doll is Crystal Scorpion Doll, and the other one is Trainor Centipede Doll, looking just like a one hundred legged centipede…… Huh? What happened to the Fortress Spider Doll, you say? Well, let’s just say that its image looked so macabre that I decided that I do not want to have anything to do with it.
「Thank you very much!」
「Pleasure doing business with you! Come back again!」
「Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa !!」
「Emul, that’s bad manners, you know? Swallow what you are eating before you start talking.」
It’s surprising just how much food we were given here, honestly. And we ate it all. Alright, onto the next thing to do on our list!
* * * * * *
「What!? You want me to hammer something for you for free!? That’s it! You want to get your stupid head cracked open!? You have guts, lad, I’ll give you that. Come right here and I’ll make that wish of yours come true!」
Yes, it’s time to make a slight detour!
* * * * * * * * *
「PEH!?」
「Geh!? S-Sanraku-han!?」
「Come to sell here! Now! Money! Gimme! Gimme!」
「What are you trying to do almost qualifies as a robbery! And I’m sure that the law has a paragraph for things like that as well!」
Oh, don’t you worry about that! Rest assured! I am more than certain that the flow of money never ceases here in Rabbitz…… Although if Elk retains the prices like that, it might actually create a dam at some point or another.
Alright, it’s time for me to return!
「What the hell is wrong with people these days….. What the hell is that, even? A tornado that winds up money, or something else like that?」
* * * * * *
「Oh Bilac-sama, I come here to humbly request the repairs of my weapons……」
「Ah, is that so? Well, just where did I put that blasted chair again……?」
「I don’t know what’s that supposed to mean, but I sense danger!」
Take your hands off of that chair! What are you going to do with it!? Are you going to smack it down on top of my head!? Is that it!? And the furnace…… Is it just me, or is it getting increasingly hotter here!?
「OBOUUUAAAHHH!?!?!?」
「S-Sanraku-saaaaaaaaan……!?」
……………
………
…
…
………
……………
「Have you cooled down a bit, Sanraku-san?」
「The way I was starting to heat up, I was afraid that I might become charred before long……」
「Good thing that did not happen. I mean, it would have been a sight to see, but still…… I don’t think you are in such a hurry to become a lump of coal……」
No, I mean, something like this is basically…… Something Like this, right? It’s not like there was a time limit here that needed to be followed or anything, but the sooner you cool someone down the better, right……? So let’s stop thinking about what could have happened there. Nothing good is going to come out of it, anyways.
Besides, for some reason there was this indescribable feeling of hastiness in me that was pretty much gone at this point in time, probably because life has flashed right before my very eyes as I was about to keel over and die. But that being said, this poor old Sanraku was so close to rushing headfirst into the furnace, turning its metal cage into a new kind of helmet for myself.
「So, how are things around here? Finally gave up and allowed Imron to start practicing under you, Miss Grandmaster?」
「Nah, it might have felt a little bit sudden, but I decided to ditch her for now…… Yeah, ditch her is the right word here…… I know that there are bound to be some magical power operation units in this whole Leviathan thingy and so I asked her to go there and retrieve some of them for me for the time being.」
「Magical Energy Union (Low Voice).」
「Say what now?」
「Come on! Dance! Or do you want to be cracked open like an egg!?」
Was that…… supposed to be a joke? So, does that mean that it managed to recover enough to be able to try to command others around? But that’s actually good, I can ask her all about the Leviathan situation that way. I mean, I was currently on the second layer but was forced to stop my conquest all of a sudden. But first, let’s just try to calm Break down before she hurts herself or destroys something. And maybe do something about that fur of hers.
「Now that you mention it, just hom many layers are there that the players must clear in order for them to clear the entire thing?」
「At the current moment the second layer has already been cleared. Some people have already gone to investigate the third layer, but…… I do believe that the third layer is what you human beings would call a “difficulty spike”? Yes, I think that’s the word to describe it.」
「Muh.」
No, actually I do realize that this matter cannot be helped, no matter what you do. And I do realize that more than anyone else here. After all, it is only natural. If someone who is dead ahead of everyone else were to suddenly turn back, it would be weird. So the only option is to simply go forward. If you want to always sit on the top and be the top dog, then you must play offline games, there is no other way. When you are playing online games, the leaderboards are going to change all the time, and you have to always be on the move and do your best to retain or improve your own position. …… Ahh, no, this cannot be done, I absolutely cannot allow myself to go back now. Ahh, so the only way for me to go forward would be to proceed with the capture of the Leviathan, right……?
Oh god damn it, I wonder if asking for help here about the Orchestra would actually give me some much needed results……? So maybe the right course of action here would be to actually capture the Leviathan first and then worry about Orchestra later.
