Chapter 10: 10

Episode 10: Guilty

 

[ Shou-kun, what are you doing today? ]

 

 

"Hmm, I'd like to go to the east side by the sea while collecting woodworking materials. I'd like to go to the west side when it's a little calmer."

 

 

 Today was just for Mion-san's practice. I felt like she preferred loose gameplay where I could reply.

 

 

[ That tent was made by you, right? Will logging out there when you go to bed work properly? ]

 

 

"Ah, that's right. Isn't it fine to just lie down and sleep."

 

 

 Well, if you log in, you'll recover naturally, so it shouldn't be a problem if you don't make a tent.

 

 

[ Normal players properly pay money, stay at the inn, and log out. It seems that there are people who are stingy though, desu - ]

 

 

 Hee ... I don't think it's necessary to stay at an inn if you're in the city.

 

 

[ In the Empire, if you log out while standing in a square or a back road, it seems that NPC pickpockets will take your money. ]

 

 

"Are you serious."

 

 

[ It's scary, desu. ]

 

 

 Didn't Natto start in the Empire.

 

 Well, he's not the type to skimp on things like that, so it's okay.

 

 

[ IRO tries to take money from the players in quite a few different ways ... ]

 

 

"Something about inflation measures."

 

 

[ Inflation? ]

 

 

 And Mion-san. If you're not on the playing side, you probably don't really feel it.

 

 

"Players get rich by playing, and it's boring if they don't, right?"

 

 

[ Yup. ]

 

 

"The money you earn from hunting monsters and making potions is used to buy new equipment over and over again."

 

 

[ Yup. ]

 

 

"When everyone's level rises and they become rich, the price of Rare Drop weapons becomes unbelievable. The seller wants them to buy it at a high price."

 

 

[ I see ... ]

 

 

 So, you go hunting to get Rare Drops, it also saves money.

 

 

[ I wonder if Rare Drop is still a good thing. There are those who buy up all the potions then sell them for more than they buy them for. ]

 

 

[ Hoard them and sell at a high price? ](TN:Guessing this is supposed to be Mion and previous and next are Bell?)

 

 

[ Yes, that's right. ]

 

 

"That's disgusting ..."

 

 

 Even in real life, there are cases where resellers buy up limited-edition items and put them up on auction sites at high prices, I understand well that an MMORPG is said to be a microcosm of the economy.

 

 

[ Anyway, you were talking about the NPCs collecting the players' money, desu? ]

 

 

"Yeah, so that you don't get rich right away, it's like cutting back a little bit every day? I guess it's difficult because if you overdo it, the game becomes boring."

 

 

[ In the Kingdom, if you stay at a cheap hotel, it costs 1,000 Iris without meals, and you can kill 2 or 3 Goblins and sell the magic stones, or one piece of Bicobit meat. ]

 

 

 I wonder if it's cheap enough for beginners who just started. It would be a problem if I stumbled over there.

 

 

[ Shou-kun, you don't spend money, desu, do you? ]

 

 

"Yup. I mean, I have 0 Yen, not that, it's 0 Iris. When I started on the deserted island, I didn't get any money ... Oops!"

 

 

"Pisupisu!"

 

 

 Avoiding the Bicobit, which turned its horns and launched a jump attack, I quickly defeated it with a dagger. Is this for stopping for one night without a meal.

 

 The east side was probably a zone where you could even wear beginner equipment, but somehow, I have to prepare weapons and armor.

 

 

[ Isn't there any additional equipment for starting like this, desu? ]

 

 

"Ahh, I don't know the initial equipment or belongings for starting normally."

 

 

 I thought it would be quicker to show it, so I opened the equipment menu.

 

 Is it easy to see if I put it around here?

 

 

[ I don't think it's different from my time ... ]

 

 

"Didn't Bell-buchou start with the closed beta? How much money did you have when you first started?"

 

 

[ 30,000 Iris. Including accommodation and food expenses, it feels like you can live without income for a while. ]

 Somehow, I felt like I lost 30,000 Yen.

 

 

"Well, I got a lot of SP for that amount ..."

 

 

[ Could you show me your status and skills? ]

 

 

"Sure."

 

 

――――――――――――――――――――

 

Name:Shou　Lv.2

 

HP：155　MP：155

 

 

STR：15　DEX：15　AGI：12

Masonry：1　Presence Detection：1　Presence Blocking：1

 

 

Remaining SP：31　Remaining BP:0

 

――――――――――――――――――――

 

 

 Hmm, it's low.

 

 I spent a lot of time creating my character on the first day, and on the second day, my character level only increased by 1.

 

 

[ So, you have 31 extra SP ... ]

 

 

"I think I'm going to use a lot of it from now on."

 

 

 I mean, to be honest, I'm worried if 31 is enough.

 

 What should I do to raise my character level on this uninhabited island.

 

 As expected, I guess I have no choice but to kill the Goblins I found a while ago ...

 

 

[ Are there any skills you plan to acquire, desu? ]

 

 

"Hmm, fishing or something?"

 

 

[ We talked about that yesterday, right. ]

 

 

"Yeah. If only I could get a hook and string."

 

 

 Digging up the soil and finding earthworms for bait would be fine, and the things my father taught me would be useful.

 

 

 And, I arrived at a place where I could see the cliffs on the east side of the island.

 

 

"Ohh."

 

 

 It was so beautiful that I wondered if a scenic place was like this. I think that Full Dive is amazing.

 

 

[ It's a beautiful view, desu ... ]

 

 

[ Really, you did well to find such an island ... ]

 

 

[ Right, desu. ]

 

 

 I think I did well to find it, too.

 

 

[ Were you planning to start on an uninhabited island from the beginning, desu? ]

 

 

"Yup. Well, I thought it would be nice to be able to do so, but since I found out that the start point selection map could be zoomed and scrolled, I was looking for about 4 hours ... A little less than 5 hours."

 

 

 Somehow, silence flowed in response to that answer. It seemed they were taken aback.

 

 Well, I think I was a little broken at the time.

 

 

[ May I ask why you went that far to play solo? ]

 

 

"... I wanted to relax for a while by myself?"

 

 

 It's fun to play games with people, but apparently I put priority on the people I'm with having fun.

 

 Natto knew that very well, so he was quite considerate, but there were times when he felt sorry for that ...

 

 

[ Isn't it troublesome that I'm livestreaming, desu? ]

 

 

"No, not at all. I was going to enjoy playing solo, but it's fun to play the game while talking to Mion-san."

 

 

[ I'm glad, desu ... ]

 

 

 It's fun to watch people playing games from behind, but I think the reverse is pretty fun too.

 

 If it were Mashiro-ane, I'd be annoyed by saying do this do that ...

 

 

[ Guilty. ]

 

 

[ It's guilty, desu. ]

 

 

"Ehh?"
