Chapter 236: Not a Scarecrow, But One Minute and One Second to Make History Part 2
「My significance is unwavering. And my believes have not changed ever since that day. I am a mountain. I am a wall. I am a gate…… Humans, if you desire to move on towards the future, your way leads past . And you have no other choice but to overco on your journey.」
「I see, so that’s how it is…… Then, I am afraid that together with my comrades we shall point our blades towards your throat one of these days.」
「A human who managed to best the Gravekeeper in combat, and who managed to overco the horrors hidden within the depths of the Abyss…… to see soone like that join forces with a human to whom I have given my Reverse Scale…… Interesting. Truly, truly interesting!」
The Dragon King laughs from the bottom of his heart, looking as though he was having so much fun. And his friend…… his forrly gray but now white fluffy ears gently sway in the light breeze.
「Very well, then. If you wish to go beyond , you will have to trample over and end my reign. And opposing you is my duty as a Dragon King. Let us teach those Dragon Disaster bastards what a true dragon really is!」
It was at this exact mont that the Third Stage of the World Quest officially changed its na. It was no longer the “The Great War of the Falling Gold”.
From now on it was going to be the war between the dragons of the present tis and their king, who has ruled them for ages now, with humans all over the world getting caught in the crossfire…… “Dragon Disaster War”.
「School is…… so dull…… No, let’s try to be positive here. Maybe that feeling of dullness is what makes want to go to school in the first place? If I think like that and convince myself that it is true, then maybe it won’t be so bad……
No, let’s stop that. Or otherwise sothing downright masochistic is going to awaken deep inside of .
Today cicadas are noisy as well. It is not all that surprising to hear them around since it is still September. We should all actually pay tribute to them, since they are animals who keep giving it their absolute all from the mont they are born until the mont they die.
「…… Presence!」
I turn myself around, only to find that no one was there. Hmm…… There is this really nasty feeling inside of that when I am going to turn back towards where I was going, sothing bad is going to happen. And sure enough, when I turn around I was greeted with a sudden “Good morning!”
「UWOOOOAAHHH!?」
In front!? How!? How did Saiga—san managed to appear from the direction that I was looking towards a re seconds ago!? Could it be this is so sort of a secret event!? One that would trigger without actually being shown on the mini map!?
「G-Good morning, Saiga-san……」
There is a new kind of theory that starts to bloom inside of : Saiga-san Fixed Encounter Theory. But I keep silent about it and just casually return the greeting.
It is sowhat strange just how high my encounter rate with Saiga-san has been as of late, but considering that we have a common destination that is in the sa direction, there is nothing strange about it. So today we walk together to school once more.
「…… Umm, umm.」
「Hm?」
「You see…… Hizuto-kun, can I ask you for advice……?」
「Advice?」
Advice from ? But why of all people? If it is about broken or malfunctioning VR system I can offer so limited advice, sure. But would it not been better to just go to the professional repair point? Or contact the manufacturer directly? Things like that are better not to be left to complete amateurs.
No, if it was sothing like that, she would not want to talk to about it. She would go to the manufacturer directly. For sure.
「Umm…… It would be, about gas……」
「Could it be sothing about ShanFro again?」
「That is right, but that is also not quite right……」
Hmm, the way she put it was really weird, but it should generally be sothing ShanFro related, right?
「You see, actually……」
I will try to summarize here what Saiga-san confined in .
Right about now, Saiga-san is imposing a certain quota onto herself when it cos to ShanFro. And for that reason, she is trying to do certain tasks to be as efficient as possible. But truth to be told, doing the sa tasks over and over again tend to get repetitive over ti.
That is why she wanted to ask how to address that problem, because she heard from Iwamaki-san that I play a lot of different gas and that I should be able to know how to combat a problem like that.
So she wanted to tell her just how could she make even such mundane and repetitive tasks more enjoyable for herself.
A side note here. All this ti I was getting a feeling like she was repeating so lines that she had morized prior to this “event”, but it did not matter for all that much.
「Daily tasks…… Daily tasks, huh……?」
As a matter of fact, when it cos to VR gas…… It is really tough to manage daily tasks properly, especially since the dawn of Full Dive system.
After all, you need to focus on playing and doing only that, with no option of doing sothing else in real life at the sa ti. At least if it was a normal “old school ga”, you could browse the Internet or listen to music at the sa ti, or do basically whatever you would want.
But with gas such as ShanFro, you cannot really do such a thing anymore. So then it cos to Full Dive gas, there are really two types of patterns that allow you to stay hooked on the ga and to maintain your motivation.
Fist: increase the number of things to do. Second: do those things with a larger group of people.
In case of the first option, you could impose so self rules, like ti attack, or to think about those mundane tasks as sothing you need to do as effectively as possible. By doing that, you get highly motivated, and there is always the option of setting your very own new personal records. …… I know from experience that it can be really motivating.
The latter case allows you to reduce the burden that is placed on you thanks to the help you receive from others. It is really effective strategy, but it cos with one trendous downside: you need to ti your schedules to do this, which is not that easy of a thing to do in the first place.
「That’s right…… Hm?」
What’s this? An email from Pencilgton? Does that an she is not using SNS? Let’s see what we have got here……
Subject: ERGENCY
From: Pencil Warrior
To: Sanraku: Modorokatsu
Body: I’m sorry, but Kyogoku went and done fucked up.
We might be in a teensy-weensy little bit of trouble.
I wonder if I can just pretend that I did not see that? Nah, I just can’t do that…… It seems that this weekend is going to be really hectic and chaotic.
