Shadyna the god slayer has been ambushed by perverts!

Well, I was chilling in Hessy's shop and helping out with the cooking because there were too many players needing buffs after the raid, just like what a cute little girl should do. Then and barged in!

Despite all of their fights over body fat, they have been working with each other ever since the second Magnus Bestia appeared.

That itself would have made a great story about friendship and cooperation against common enemies. However, because it's these two, it has turned into a story about an alliance of perverts, at least for me!

_ Vladina: Sprout is already judging us before we can say a word. , this is your fault.

Am I really that expressive? Sateri, gimme an [Expressionless] title or something~

_ Olkan: Why?! Except for attempted kidnapping and murder I haven't done anything to her!

That's only one step behind , you body fat pervert!

_ Hessy: Dammit we are busy here! Go back to rebuilding the town if you have so much free time!

Back to cooking~

_ Vladina: Wait! We are actually here for business! You killed the , did you not?

Without a word, Hessy and (Who isn't even supposed to work here!) step forward. Hessy, unequip that eye rune when you are indoors. , put that hammer away! Why are you two gearing up for combat?!

_ Olkan: Welp. I told you we should have brought more fighters.

_ Vladina: In which case they would murder us on sight, idiot! Please calm down, I just want to buy some information, not starting another loot war!

Did you guys seriously have one in the past?! A war, over loots?!

After a moment of silence, the murderous waitresses finally decide to lower their weapons.

…Then again, as long as Hessy has her weapon equipped, she can blast [Dark Bolt] at full power even if the swords are not in her hands.

_ Warrior: Aw man, I was getting ready for another PvP event!

You random patron, don't pour oil into the fire, along with a lit lighter and a gas canister just for good measures!

_ Spearman: Couldn't be helped. Everyone's tired, and our mistress is so overpowered it's just going to be a one-sided happy hour.

…Can I go home now?

_ Hessy (Party): , go back to 's house. We will handle this.

_ Shadyna (Party): I don't really get it, but please don't die off-screen, okay?

_ Hessy (Party): What the heck is that supposed to mean…

_ Shadyna: I'll excuse myself then~ Have fun~

I dash out of the shop before anyone can stop me. Getting caught up in conversation equals certain doom, so I use my SPD to full effect!

, min-maxer, PvP specialist, physical nuke, is having a déjà vu.

The short search for the waitresses ended in failure as they had already returned using [Recall]. After that, the party got their food buffs from the tavern to resume their grinding.

all of a sudden ran to the marketplace and told his friends to wait at the street leading to the northern gate.

…Now there are two little girls staring at .

Newbies, definitely. They are using beginner outfits. Thankfully, the attributes are there…

Except that they evenly distributed 5 points per attribute!

One is wielding a two-handed sword, while the other opted for crossbow. Don't increase magic-related attributes when you are not going to use spells! And that LDR is useless because only one of you would be the party leader!

Skill-wise, the sword girl picked [Alchemy], [Mining], [Parry] and [Physical Power]. Why would you choose two skills with brain-dead-easy unlock conditions?!

The crossbow girl has [Construction], [Farming] and [Binding Arrow]. Again, don't choose skills that you can unlock 2 minutes into the game!!!

_ Maximus: What? Do you need something?

As much as he wanted to scream "NUBZ!" at the top of his lungs, he did his best not to. The last time he called a little girl as such, she turned into a walking terminator who mowed down everything in sight.

himself thinks that the sprout was so abnormal she would turn out the same even if he had not met her. Still, if asked whether he sped up the process by doing what he did, he couldn't outright disagree.

It's statistically absurd to think that the two in front of him will become weapons of mass destruction later, but the assassin has been so traumatized he would rather be on the safe side than sorry.

_ Sword girl: Um… We are supposed to wait for someone here…

_ Tippe: What a coincidence! So are we! How abou…

_ Maximus: Stop hitting on kids you friggin' piece of trash!

To begin with, it was this stupid mage who called out to at the time!

_ Ignar: I'm back! Oh, looks like everyone's here.

_ Maximus: …Ha?

_ Crossbow girl: Hiyo~ It's me!

_ Ignar: I know, I know. Don't use real names here.

_ Tippe: , I was sure you don't have a girlfriend!

_ Ignar: I do not! She's my cousin! And her friend, I assume? Nice to meet you, I am . Here's , treat him like a stranger promising you candies on the street. And this is . His mouth is foul but he's one of the best players in the game.

_ Tippe: Aren't you too harsh on me today?! That's 's job you know?!

For the first time, is glad that he kept his tongue in check.

I am standing in front of a big teahouse.

Yes, yes, I was told to go back to Elri's house. Still, nobody's home at the moment! The waitresses are busy at their shops, and Elri is training as underwater cavalry at the (former) valley! Cavalry does not work below the water surface, I'm telling you!!!

So, I wandered around town looking for a knowledgeable person and a change of pace, which led me to this shop.

I am a girl who can read the mood (most of the time), so I won't bother my occupied acquaintances!

This is the eastern part of Tyrel, so the shop is most likely property of .

…Is it even safe for me to enter?

_ ???: Welcome, how may I help you?

I was greeted by a fluffy young girl in traditional clothing. An elf with hair volume as big as her body! Granted, she's only about my size, but that is still a really fluffy hairball~

_ Shadyna: Hello~ I was just checking out the area.

_ ???: In that case, this is . We offer a wide variety of foods and drinks to get you prepared for upcoming adventures. In addition, we also have private rooms for you to sit down and enjoy a good rest after a hard-working day.

Clapping her hands together, the seemingly-underage proprietress leans towards me with a mischievous smile.

_ ???: So, would you like to give our services a try, Miss Illusive Sprout?

The sharper-than-she-looks cliché!!! I kind of expected her to be as old if not older than Elri in-character-wise, but that smile and the sudden name-calling still took me by surprise!

_ Shadyna: Eh? Have we met before?

_ ???: Ah, my apologies. That was rude of me. My name is , but our guests usually refer to me as Su. I was with when you fought against , but this is indeed our first time talking in person.

Welp, I guess I was too occupied by , or my own safety rather, to get a good look at her companions.

_ Shadyna: Un, likewise. How much are you charging? I'm not exactly rich…

While I have equipment whose price can buy a few houses, my coin count is…

…Actually, it's quite a lot?! I have totally forgotten that I have the money from dismantling too many corpses! And many of them are bosses also!

_ Su: Your body will do~

This part of town is really dangerous after all!

…

_ Su: Here you go. This is [Nature's Harvest], our shop's specialty.

200% attribute increase. Why are these restaurants recommending full courses meant for boss-hunting parties to a lone girl?! Shouldn't you at least consider the capacity of the customer?!

_ Shadyna: Thank you very much.

Not like I will refuse though. Even if the buffs are similar, it's the virtual taste that is important for me right now! I don't intend to sustain myself on [Alchemy] hybrid items for the rest of my time in this game, thank you very much!

To be fair, my rechargeable items have stronger buffs and very filling. The problem is that the taste includes the materials for the [Alchemy] part, so they are really, really nasty as I found out by biting them, and have no taste whatsoever when I use them like an [Alchemy] item!

_ Shadyna: It's good~

It appears that Su used more veggies in her menu, so the meal tastes quite different from [Heroic Inspiration Course], which was heavy in meat. Both are very delicious, but the sheer cost of them hurts me mentally!

_ Su: I'm glad you like it.

_ Shadyna: By the way, how do you deal with many customers? This mansion is so big, but guests have so much space too…

There's the restaurant-like area where you can eat at tables with others. The rest of this place are all rentable rooms. I think the max capacity of this teahouse is four dozen if you add a few more tables…

_ Su: Just like any restaurant in real life~ We bring the rich guests to their private rooms, get a few more tables, and if that still does not help, put a "We are full" sign at the gate. Thanks to a certain tavern hoarding all the customers, we rarely have to worry about such scenario.

Welp, I stepped on a landmine! Didn't mean to! And you don't need to guilt me further with that embarrassed wry smile!

_ Su: On the plus side, we have a relatively peaceful lifestyle. Otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here chatting with you, would I?

_ Shadyna: Indeed~

…Is it alright for you to neglect other customers though? Do your patrons have such fantasies or am I getting special treatment here?

Since I paid for this private room for the next hour, might as well make good use of it, and the proprietress too.

_ Shadyna: Su, do you know about the bright place where you receive big boss's loots?

_ Su: That sounds like Heaven?

I have a feeling whenever I bring up a topic I was thinking about, the person in front of me will have the "That was out of nowhere" comment, expression, or just general atmosphere…

_ Shadyna: Well~ It was all white, and you get loots so that can be considered heaven…

_ Su: That's why we call it Heaven. You are referring to the loot area of the Nox Terminus right?

_ Shadyna: Ki~nd of? What is a Nox Terminus?

I think it's another big boss like the weird mask. Is it the same thing as the "border boss" mentioned earlier?

_ Su: Oh, I forgot you weren't in the beta, my apologies. It is the boss guarding the end of the world. Once it is defeated the darkness surrounding the world shrinks, unlocking the further areas.

Flashback time? That's the face of a veteran preparing to unleash her flashback!!!

_ Su: The closed beta ended as the majority of players engaged in a week-long fight against the first Nox Terminus and its minions. After that a civil war broke out over loot distribution, dividing Tyrel into the four main districts you see today.

The loots caused more damage than the raids and big boss?! Is that why Hessy and were so on edge earlier when the perverts arrived?!

_ Su: What do you want to know about it?

What about the flashback? You were supposed to go full flashback-mode lasting at least 3 episodes right there!

_ Shadyna: Un, I was there earlier, but the map said I was in Tyrel. I am wondering if it's actually close by.

_ Su: Ah, is that so. Should we begin negotiation then?

I forgot these girls are information brokers!!! Actually, I asked her exactly because I knew she was one, but I didn't think of the consequences!

_ Shadyna: Uuu…

_ Su: Just kidding~ We don't really know "Where" it is exactly, but I do know of a hint. I will tell you in exchange for a lap pillow. How about it~?

Which part of that is "just kidding~"?! You just threw your demands at full force!!!

At this point I don't know if their perversion is a good or bad thing… Oh well, since this is a game my legs won't become numb after having the cliché lap pillow right?

…

_ Su: Happiness~

_ Shadyna: No, that's just my laps.

We are having the lap pillow session on the sofa at the back of the room. This is a private room, so no worries about random perverts walking in on us for the most trivial reasons.

_ Su: So, back in the days of closed beta…

You are starting the flashback now?!

_ Su: There were a lot of bug fixings and updates by Sateri-chan. The first day alone got 15 emergency updates.

Too many! Playing during that period must have been similar to being in a chaotic universe with constantly-changing laws of physics…

_ Su: One of the patch notes that day was "Fixed coordinate command knowing of the other planes of existences."

_ Shadyna: …What.

_ Su: Players were on their own at that time, but the founding members of did find out what it meant, somewhat. It was a simple defect, showing a 4th number in the coordinates returned by the command. Currently, it gives you the x, y and z coordinates when you use it, doesn't it? At that time, it gave x, y, z, and 0.

Not the time axis…? Sad face~

_ Shadyna: Are you saying that 0 is the coordinate to other planes?

_ Su: I wonder~ It was patched too quickly for us to fiddle around with. We haven't seen any coordinates with that last number being something other than 0, so it's just wild guesses.

_ Shadyna: I see… [Creation].

[Invalid location].

I have the coordinates from earlier that I can grab into the crafting menu above the sphere. Manually changing the x, y and z to my base in the valley, I got the [Invalid location] message.

Which is the best I can hope for!

_ Shadyna: Thank you very much, Su. I wouldn't be able to do this on my own.

I have never played in closed beta, so the knowledge and artifacts from that time is beyond my reach. Having a sage that doesn't aim at my body (too much) to answer my questions is invaluable in that regard!

Maybe I should give her a good item or something, so that she doesn't try to do weirder things to me in the next flashback episode!

…And you still haven't entered flashback mode today, Su!

_ Su: Ehehe~ I'll accept your DFC as compensation~

_ Shadyna: Refused~

[Invalid location], [Invalid location], [Invalid location]…

Hmm, this sanity slippage feels like déjà vu… And where's my [Insanity Resistance], Sateri?!

[Received Teleport Tablet - Origin x1]

Muahaha~, found you!

_ Su: That's a very scary smile you are having my dear.

And my [Expressionless] title too!

_ Shadyna: Oops~ I just made something nice, that's all. Can you leave me on my own for a while? I have some urgent private matters to take care of.

_ Su: Aw~ Please do tell me about new SG goodies you acquire afterwards, okay?

_ Shadyna: Sure, but I am not going to do anything to get new skills though.

I am only going to "visit" a friend, that's all.

Su gets off my laps and leaves the room without further complaints. Service workers are really considerate huh…

_ Shadyna: Now, how much materials do I have left…

Counting, counting… Not much, as I haven't restocked after the fight. I wonder if I can minimize the item's stats to reduce the material consumption… These will be cosmetic only, so even if they have no bonus it will be fine.

_ Shadyna: [Creation]~

[Received Laetque Ring of Solar Eclipse (Cosmetic) x1]

…That's considered a quality level on its own?

[Cosmetic: Indicate an item without power. Can be equipped without encumbering the user.]

Thank you, immersion. In this case I would rather you just outright tell me that it won't take up an equipment slot.

[ Laetque Ring of Solar Eclipse]

Too bad I don't know what [Ancient] and [Innocent] do. [Inspect] is useless as usual~

Anyway, next item!

_ Shadyna: [Creation]~!

[ Vallen Ring of Blood Moon]

…What? It should be "Light" and "Darkness", considering the black-white theme of the bosses? The white [Laetque Eye] has a jet black iris and the black [Vallen Eye] has a glowing white iris, so it's not like they are purely black or white to begin with!

Un, let's ignore all the imaginary "Don't use the rare materials for cosmetic!!!" screams from all over the game world. I have more important things to do!

_ Shadyna: Let's go!

Activating the tablet, I teleport away from the teahouse.

Not back to the loot area, mind you. There's no loot left in there, and I wouldn't have to search for the coordinates in that case.

Landing onto the pure white scenery once more, I call out to the only denizen of this place.

_ Shadyna: Hiyo, Sateri~

My "birthplace", and also where I first met the Goddess of this world.

I am back, at the character creation zone.

____________

_ Nerin: Finally…

After working tirelessly to serve waves after waves of patrons, the surge has subsided. The waitresses can take a small break in turns at last.

_ Mera: Everyone was so motivated to get out there and be murdered over, and over, and over again~ The least we can do is giving them longer ropes so…

_ Nerin: I am on break! Stop tormenting me mentally you maniac!!!

A party of five walk into the tavern. The assassin is visibly annoyed as he sits down on the stool at the counter.

_ Maximus: Something to chill my head.

_ Mera: Coming right up~ Since when did you… Hmm~, I'll have to refrain as there're children here won't I~

_ Ignar: Ahaha…

_ Nerin (PM): Your new friends? Didn't know you guys developed such preferences after encountering …

_ Ignar (PM): My cousins who just started playing. Max was showing incredible restraints but uh… they were on the opposite side of the scale, simply put.

_ Nerin (PM): You have my sympathy.
