– ABYSS WARNING BELL –

It’s a warning bell, despatched from the deepest depths of the Abyss. A sea-colored bell that senses and warns the consumer in regards to the impending disaster.

It reacts to {REVELAED AFTER CLEARING THE 4TH STAGE OF THE WORLD QUEST}, warning the consumer in regards to the incoming disaster.

The ancestors have failed, now it’s your flip.

Wow, received’t you have a look at that, solely ominous issues are written in right here. Irrespective of how you consider it, you can not do away with a sense that some form of a global-scale disaster goes to happen someplace alongside the storyline.

Defeating Wezaemon and having Kutanid acknowledge us, we’ve efficiently managed to push ahead the World Quest. Two instances, even. Clearing two Distinctive Eventualities EX, the World Quest ought to at present be in its third stage.

And whereas it’s true that defeating two Distinctive Monsters raised extra questions than gave us solutions, it is usually an indisputable fact that the world itself has moved on onto the subsequent stage as effectively.

For instance, let’s say that harvesting apples from an orchard is a grand aim of all gamers on the server. The Distinctive Quests right here could be linked to the orchard’s proprietor and his household, whereas the World Quest could be the equal of the adjustments that happens within the harvested apples. It may not be the most effective analogy on the market, however the principle factor right here could be the “passing of seasons”.

And from the outline on this merchandise, apparently one thing is about to occur as soon as the third Distinctive Monster goes to be defeated. One thing goes to occur as soon as the World Quest reaches its fourth stage. And that one thing requires the help of an alarm.

Whereas there are gamers on the market which may take pleasure in a gradual lifetime of faming and crop cultivating like that, I’m that form of participant that likes to get into the thick of the motion, in search of out highly effective monsters and overcoming varied challenges. Nonetheless, as with every thing in right here, data is essentially the most highly effective weapon, and we should always maintain an important issues to ourselves and never let everybody else learn about it. Particularly that wannabe Magical Lady.

Nonetheless, I’ve a sure feeling brewing inside me.

It’s exhausting for me to suppose {that a} mere warning bell is a reward for defeating a Distinctive Monster like that. At first look, this bell actually appears to be simply an alarm bell and that might make it just about ineffective, however…… What if that can also be a reversal right here? Like, moderately than warning the participant about one thing that’s about to return, it’s going to sign that the participant is getting nearer to one thing that they’re actively looking for? One thing that would seem within the fourth stage of the World Quest? What if a risk like that basically existed? That this alarm bell is in reality a radar of kinds?

「It reeks of a treasure looking to me……」

「However you may solely odor the ocean breeze right here, proper?」

「Yup, that’s proper. And Akitsu Akane, settle down for Christ’s sake!」

Identical to that, the ship continued to sail leisurely in the direction of Fiftsia with Straude on the steering wheel.

Now then, I’m wondering no matter I ought to do as soon as I get again…… Oh, yeah, about that. I ought to actually go and apologize to Vash for taking each Emul and Sickle with me to Lulilas…… The outdated man may be actually furious with anger at me, so worst case state of affairs I’ll simply get down on the bottom and beg for forgivness.

「…… nraku, Sanraku!」

「Hmnh? What’s it, Alva?」

「Nothing, it’s simply that I feel I’ll go residence now.」

That’s proper, we’re at present heading in the direction of Fiftsia…… Desirous about it logically, Alva is somebody who is just not human, a member of a completely completely different race. Fiftsia is just not a base city for him and it’s not his residence both.

「Ahh, yeah, yup, yup, that’s proper, I see…… Oh effectively, thanks for your whole assist, Alva. I actually admire it.」

「Suppose nothing of it, my pal. With out your assist, each Nereis and I’d have been part of Kutanid’s metropolis at this time limit.」

In truth, Alva’s assist was the important thing to victory on greater than as soon as event all through the previous week within the underwater metropolis. Whether or not it was in the course of the mob battle, or the battle in opposition to Kutanid, his energy because the sort-of magic bodily warrior was nothing to scoff at. It was a worthy addition.

「Say now…… For those who ever occur to satisfy a dwarf named “Gandak”, inform him that Alva despatched you. He’s a very expert blacksmith, I’m certain he’ll have the opportunity that will help you out.」

「Is, is that this purported to be a touching farewell scene, or what?」

「I suppose you may say that. In spite of everything, I’m a hybrid who should stay underwater with a view to survive. It will be troublesome for me to satisfy you land-dwellers in your pure habitat.」

To that, I shake my finger in a negating gesture and make a face that was purported to be saying “Non, non, non”.

「We’re the Pioneers of the Unknown, all the time looking out for the sting of the world to find. If there’s something unknown underwater, you may make sure that we’ll get there and uncover it. In spite of everything, there’s nothing that spirit and guts can’t accomplish!」

The existence of the fish-people NPCs and the Distinctive Monster dwelling on the backside of the ocean. Irrespective of how you consider it, there absolutely have to be extra within the deep see for us to discover. So there isn’t any stable proof for that, however the potential of us reuniting sooner or later is just not unattainable.

Alva’s phrases grew to become spherical as saucers when he hear me, however then he smiled broadly and reached out his hand in the direction of me.

I reached out my very own hand to shake it, however then Alva hugged me tightly and slammed his hand in opposition to my again a few instances. You already know, this can be a means by which Hollywood film stars say farewell to at least one one other, so to suppose that I’d have the ability to expertise one thing like that…… I need to say I’m impressed.

「Fare thee effectively, my trusty comrades! It was enjoyable preventing alongside you! I hope that we’ll meet once more!」

「EVERYONE, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES!」

Nereis manifested the higher a part of her physique and waved her hand in any respect of us alongside Alva. Then the 2 of them approached the sting of the ship. Alva turned his head in the direction of Straude.

「Little pirate, I hope that you just shall develop as much as be a strong and revered warlord in the future.」

「Y…… Yeah! After all I’ll! In spite of everything, I’m a son of an ideal pirate!」

I had no concept that NPCs may work together with each other like that, however after saying all that Alva smiled another time after which lastly jumped off the ship’s edge and dove into the water.

What can I say…… It was so random, however in that one second he simply upped his coolness factors casually after which simply left.

「Now then…… I’m okay with our social gathering splitting up right here. What are you guys going to do after this……?」

「Sleep…… I’m going to fall asleep.」

「That’s proper…… All in all, it was a reasonably exhausting voyage, I received’t say……」

Nicely, no must do something critical proper after I return to Fiftsia. In spite of everything, it was the battle that managed to exhaust each our sources and our psychological fortitude as effectively. If I’m going to do one thing, absolutely it is going to be tomorrow, or possibly even the day after tomorrow.

「Alright, then, tomorrow…… Nah, make that the day after tomorrow. We’re going to go to satisfy with Vash, since we’ve a complete lot of issues we have to talk about……」

「U-Umm……!」

「Hm?」

Rei out of the blue speaks up and interrupts the dialog. Simply what may or not it’s all about? I assumed that whereas turning in the direction of her, getting a sense that it will most likely be one thing much more troublesome than the Distinctive Situation EX.

「Umm…… To be sincere… I’ve a request……」

Despite the fact that Sanraku and the corporate had been trotting down the sunny path, again in Fiftsia there was already a storm brewing among the many gamers.
