The World Quest progress... isn't it weird?
[Kincon]
If you mean the constant flux, then yeah.
[Marsalun]
What's happening?
[Disol]
I don't know, and I don't feel like going to check it out.
Hasn't anyone gone yet?
[Kincon]
I came to scope it out, but I'm heading back now.
To be honest, we only make progress driving out the undead during prime time.
At night, we're immediately pushed back, and it's a slow grind.
[Marsalun]
Does that mean there aren't enough people?
[Kincon]
Yeah. I mean, players inevitably drop off from midnight until morning.
We can't maintain the expanded front line.
[Disol]
You're trying to push through without making a Safe Zone?
[Kincon]
It's not that we aren't making them, it's that we can't.
It seems the area inside the walls doesn't count as a Safe Zone.
[Marsalun]
Doesn't that mean it's hopeless unless more people show up?
[Kincon]
Looks like even the top guilds are clashing.
Just from the outside perspective, though.
[Disol]
Ridiculous lol
[Kincon]
They were saying it's still the early stages, so I expect the "tourist trap" prices will stick around.
I decided to bail because I ran out of the goods I brought to avoid those "tourist trap" prices.
A friend's staying behind, so I'll get updates from them.
[Marsalun]
Thank you!
[Disol]
Gotcha!

The Giantkin have started interacting with us a bit.
[Common Imperial Citizen]
Seems like it's only the younger ones, though.
The elders were complaining about us being noisy or something.
[Common Imperial Citizen]
Seems like the Giantkin have some kind of customs.
Don't try to force things too much, alright?
Especially since things are finally looking good.
[Common Imperial Citizen]
Alright, alright.
The aggressive ones all went to the Necropolis, anyway.
The [Giant's Shrine] is for beginners to intermediate players, so I think it's just right.
[Common Imperial Citizen]
Excuse me.
What's the [Giant's Shrine]?
[Common Imperial Citizen]
Newbie, maybe?
It's an ancient ruin further north from the settlement northwest of the Imperial Capital.
A good place to come when you're tired of quests.
[Common Imperial Citizen]
Thank you!

[Common Royal Citizen]
Can I get your attention for a moment?
[Common Royal Citizen]
Guard, it's this guy.
[Common Royal Citizen]
Blast from the past, lol.
[Common Royal Citizen]
Seriously, let me talk lol.
[Common Royal Citizen]
Spit it out already.
[Common Royal Citizen]
The [Applied Wind Magic Grimoire] is starting to circulate.
The source is Silver Manor. Seth-chan's place.
[Common Royal Citizen]
Knew that already.
Actually, they're distributing it to proper guilds at cost so the price doesn't unfairly skyrocket.
[Common Royal Citizen]
S-seriously...? orz
[Common Royal Citizen]
They also said they'd spread the word if other Applied Magic grimoires were found.
That said, relying on others isn't ideal, so I might try going to the [Mage's Tower] too.
[Common Royal Citizen]
If only that place wasn't a Principality...
It's just, as a Royal Citizen, I feel a bit conflicted...
[Common Royal Citizen]
I get it, but there's no point in stressing too much.
Let's think of it as preparation for when the Kingdom really needs it.
[Common Royal Citizen]
Oh, right, you're right.
The World Quest became [Necropolis], but the international issues are still unresolved...

Anyone trying to make a killing on black pepper right now, you should probably quit while you're ahead.
[Common Republic Citizen]
Hm? What do you mean?
[Common Republic Citizen]
Pepper was found on that island, and actual pepper berries have appeared.
If that's found somewhere, the price will crash immediately.
[Common Republic Citizen]
Too late.
It's already starting to crash.
[Common Republic Citizen]
Wait, I just thought it was super cheap and bought a mountain of it...
[Common Republic Citizen]
Oof...

[Common Principality Citizen]
I'd like to ask something: If you party with an NPC and that NPC dies, what happens?
I'm worried about that...
[Common Principality Citizen]
Exactly!
Sometimes an NPC Elf-san will join us, saying, "Let's go together," but it makes me super nervous.
It just turns into a bodyguard quest!
[Common Principality Citizen]
Choroine!
[Common Principality Citizen]
Huh? Where's the tsundere Choroine Elf-san???
[Common Principality Citizen]
During the previous World Quest defense battle, it was an alliance, right?
How was it then?
[Common Principality Citizen]
Since we were the bow unit, we never got into anything too dangerous.
Even the folks on the front lines knew it'd be a huge headache if the NPC Elves took damage.
[Common Principality Citizen]
I see.
Seems like I won't get an answer even asking guilds, so I guess I'll contact the GMs...

The [Necropolis] is starting to feel dodgy.
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
Go to the World Quest thread.
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
No no, the Game Dolls kids are starting to say they should go home.
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
Why?
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
I mean, obviously (if they don't make progress), then (the content will be boring).
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
It's tough to re-clear the same spot they covered in yesterday's livestream.
Same content... repetition... Endless Eight...
Ugh, my head's spinning...
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
And [Leona-sama] and Bell-taso are making waves in the [Mage's Tower]...
If they'd stayed, they might have had a shot at clearing it first.
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
Harune-chan and the others are top-tier, so wouldn't it be a huge blow if they left?
Roll-chan and Saaya-chan also have second-tier skills, right?
They were supposed to be the "Future Hegemony" () guild, right? They'd stop them, wouldn't they?
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
Even if they were convinced to stay, their fans wouldn't be able to keep up.
They can't keep up with tourist prices, so local support is thin.
The enemies are undead, and the drops are meager.
There are just too many downsides.
[Adventurer Who Cherishes Their Oshi]
If there's no benefit to staying, they'll probably withdraw.
Since they're corporate, they're probably even more cutthroat about it.
