Chapter 449 - The Strongest Solo Guild in the Game?
Somehow, we managed to successfully back out of the cave. I think there were less than 5 minutes left of the stream, but…
『Shou-kun. There's something important we need to discuss with the viewers.』
「Eh? Oh, that's right! Alright, I might go over time a bit, but I'll talk while we head back.」
『Yes!』
【Shalran】「What is it? A big announcement?」
【Aoisan】「Ah, are you tying the knot? Congratulations♪」
【Skinko】「No way, a declaration of nationhood!?」
【Paper】「Thump thump…」
etc.etc...
I asked Lupi and True and their groups to continue being vigilant, and turned the [Small Magic Boat] around. Can I go faster on the way back? A real boat would be noisy with engine sounds, but this boat truly glides silently.
「Um, where should I start? Oh, there was a broken piano in the mansion before, but it's currently with Azure-san. I don't think I can fix it.」
『Yes.』
「And if even the Dragonkin's connections can't fix it, I'm thinking of asking a player on the mainland.」
【Ashleaf】「Piano repair!?」
【Bluesha】「Will it be a request from the Dragonkin?」
【Domin】「I have woodcraft, but what if I break it…」
【Freeter】「No, this really seems like it needs a real professional, doesn't it?」
etc.etc...
Well, that's true. If it could be fixed with [Woodcraft] or [Crafting], I probably could have fixed it myself. Piano wire, would that be [Blacksmithing]? Or [Crafting Skill]? Or an even higher skill?
「And that aside,」
『Yes.』
「I thoroughly re-examined the [Storage] and found something called a [Magic Certificate Management Device], which seems to be a magic tool for a Players' Guild…」
『There were also unused [Guild Cards].』
「So, I can now create a guild.」
As I said that, comments started flowing like a waterfall… Yeah, I can't read them anymore. Can Mion read them? I'll trust that Yata-sensei is helping.
『But you haven't decided to establish a guild yet, have you?』
「No. And this connects to the piano repair from earlier…」
【Diash】「A piano repair quest from Shou-kun!」
【Uppii】「The guild is backed by the Dragonkin!?」
【Kaguriko】「The strongest solo guild is born…」
【Master Chef】「Where will the guild outpost be!?」
etc.etc...
That's why everyone is jumping to conclusions too quickly!
「If Argenta-san can't fix it, I'm thinking of creating a guild and formalizing it as a proper request.」
『Yes.』
「Well, the details will probably be a bit further off, but about establishing a guild itself… what do you all think?」
【Gafugafu】「Let's make it now! Make it immediately!」
【Ramensky】「Strongly agree! No reason to oppose lol」
【Daytron】「
【Minamiruge】「Do whatever you want lol」
etc.etc...
Oh, good. Or rather, I'm happy everyone agrees, but I feel somewhat rushed…
『First, it's whether the piano can be fixed, right?』
「Yeah. Well, since everyone's so supportive, I guess I'll go ahead with establishing a guild even without the piano issue.」
『Yes!』
In that case, I need to get formal approval from Argenta-san, and then think of a guild name. I'll ask Mion…
…………
……
…
Yata-sensei was watching, it seems. I felt relieved. We went over time by about 10 minutes, but that's within the acceptable range, I suppose.
『Shou-kun, good work. The door not opening…』
「Mion, you too. When taking off my glove, the ring came off with it. It would be a problem if people asked 'Why does he have a ring with authority?'」
『As expected!』
I might need to keep taking it off during streams in the future. Or perhaps it would be easier to pretend I found it somewhere. Like, 'it was on a desk in the mansion,' or something?
「『Ah!』」
Indeed, I hadn't been able to talk about the quest rewards. That too, I suppose I'll consult with Argenta-san? Alcohol would probably be wanted by the Dragonkin and Dwarves.
「Woof.」
「Oh, I can see the [Lighthouse].」
It took about 30 minutes to get there, but we made it back in about 15 minutes. Even at this speed, it's only about 70%. If I go full speed, I could probably reach the northern tip of the island in about 10 minutes. Maybe I could circumnavigate the island in an hour and a half?
「Chirp chirp?」
「Yeah, that's fine. Oh, could one of you go report that we're back?」
「Chirp~」
True and the others wanted to go fishing, so I left it to them. It seems the slightly injured one went to tell Shal and the others waiting at the port.
「Um, we have about an hour left, right?」
『Yes.』
So, it'll probably end after I accompany True and the others on their fishing trip.
『Um, I have an album recording scheduled for late August.』
「That's the plan.」
『Yes.』
The training camp is pretty much a sightseeing trip, so I want to be able to go without worries. After that, I'll visit Grandpa's house for Obon, and once that's over, it'll already be late August. And Mion has an album recording; if she sings several songs, it probably won't be finished in one day, right? What's typical?
「Do you know how long album recordings usually take, Mion?」
『Mother said to expect about a week. It depends on the number of songs, apparently.』
Recording from afternoon to evening for one or two songs, so if there are 10 songs, it would take 5 to 10 days. How many songs have been released so far? Some Mion hasn't sung yet, but what will happen to those?
