"Miss Nureha... where are you going?" "Will you take an escort?" "You really saved us." "but then we were attacked by ogres." "No need to thank us." "We are adventurers." "Of course we save people in trouble." "I'm just glad you're safe." "though." "I really can't take the sun... 1)}Odyssey Knights" "Odyssey Knights." "Roe 2?" "can you close the curtains?" "I can't take the sun." "Of course." "Water?" "Thanks." "Not at all." "What is it?" "Nothing..." "Is that the Celestial Robe?" "Yeah." "I'm impressed you know it." "My teacher wears the same thing." "too?" "Yes." "He's an enchanter." "This robe's pretty high-end gear." "It has wear-resistance and is good for normal use." "It's perfect for long journeys." "You sound just like Shiroe." "Um..." "My teacher's name is Shiroe." "You sort of remind me of him." "huh?" "Yes." "right..." "I'll heal you." "no need." "But..." "My subclass is vampire." "that's right..." "Vampires are damaged by healing spells." "Yeah." "I'm still tired." "what will you do now?" "Roe 2?" "Where are you going?" "and where am I going?" "A very philosophical question." "that's not what I meant!" "I know." "Minori..." "What's up?" "during the last battle... but..." "It's broken." "right." "too... can we call them again?" "You'd need the woodworking skill." "We were talking about pushing the carriage to the next town." "It'd be really bad if more monsters appeared." "So Tohya says we should escort the People of the Land." "Understood." "Rudy?" "A sorcerer has more strength than a bard." "No." "I wouldn't want to make a lady do my job." "though..." "Monsters that normally live at higher altitudes are coming down to the foothills." "I'm sure." "Really?" "right?" "It has a pretty lake." "There are nobles that rule it also." "Boxurt?" "right?" "Yeah." "you don't need to worry." "The Odyssey Knights are over there now." "that's right." "They're our heroes." "They risk their lives to protect us from the monsters." "Heroes?" "Maybe they're like D.D.D. or the Black Knights." "Yeah." "Odyssey..." "That's..." "They're a nostalgia faction" "Flavor Horizon Szechuan-style mapo tofu with a sinful flavor sometimes called "Odyssey." "Their goal is to go back to the real world." "But sometimes they go too far and cause trouble." "But he didn't say they were knights." "They may be someone different."

"thank you." "We helped each other out." "Here's the food!" "The People of the Land are paying for it." "They want to thank us." "Soy Sauce" "I want soy sauce!" "Worcestershire Sauce" "I'll take Worcestershire sauce." "too." "Mayo" "Mayo is the best!" "everyday food that's the best in this world." "right?" "and that's Worcestershire sauce." "She's using both?" "The issue of Worcestershire versus soy sauce is a complicated one." "Okay!" "black one is Worcestershire sauce right?" "Got it!" "too." "Roe 2?" "I came here from Oou." "I left about three months ago." "Oou?" "That's where Shiroe went on his expedition." "I was someplace even farther away." "I used castling to get there." "Castling?" "Well..." "It's a special spell that lets you change places with a servant." "after all." "has been using it to investigate the fairy rings." "Minori!" "It's just something Shiroe told me..." "Which means you switched places with your servant?" "I don't know if "servant" or "brother" is best." "I know..." "We'll go with "brother." "I switched places with my brother." "Your brother?" "I'm heading toward Ikoma for now." "I can't get rid of this vampire subclass without going there." "right?" "Yeah." "I just have to drop it." "how did I end up with this subclass?" "I really want to ask the person in charge." "It just changes your appearance!" "it's a little helpful on the moon but I wish they'd think about what happens when you're on Earth!" "I can't go on being a vampire!" "The moon?" "right?" "anyway?" "It looks like we can't repair our summon flute in this town." "It'll be hard to go on without horses." "Couldn't you just call some horses?" "Sis Roe 2?" "Sis"?" "!" "Ahem." "W-Would you call me "Sister"?" "Sister." "Once more..." "Sister." "too!" "Sister Roe 2..." "That's it!" "Sister!" "I love it... "Sister"!" "it feels like they're relying on me." "I want to be someone who's treated like a big sister!" "I want to be loved for being a big sister!" "and give you horses." "better than anyone's ever seen!" "you'll let me act like a big sister." "guys?" "O-Okay." "I can't take the sun..." "The water is so nice." "but... and we have self-cleaning functions huh?" "yeah." "I heard that Boxurt place we're going to is a big pain." "Rudy was saying so." "Really?" "it's all part of the adventure." "Hey!" "What's going on with you and Rudy?" "Going on?" "and I go on walks with him." "No way!" "You two totally seem like a couple." "Serara?" "right?" "right?" "I've got a Marriage Ring that took thirty raids and lots of delicious food." "You're married to me now." "No!" "It isn't like that!" "Hey!" "I'm sorry!" "Serara..." "Nyanta will get mad at you when you bathe together." "Bathe together?" "!" "Serara?" "So..." "Minori?" "H-How are they going?" "really." "It seems you have a lot of rivals for Shiroe..." "Really?" "he's the guy who founded the Round Table." "and friendly with him." "right?" "Akatsuki!" "you must defeat me first!" "as well?" "no..." "Sister Roe 2." "Wh-When did you get here?" "I have physical advantages over you guys." "too!" "girls." "Breasts are just for show!" "Was that too much for my little sisters?" "Marie?" "You look glum." "What's going on?" "I was wondering what to do for the spring event." "The typical answer would be flower-viewing." "huh?" "you're right." "That's a good idea." "Everyone can enjoy it." "And that might make everyone friends again." "Marie..." "Is there really no way for people to be friendly and have fun together?" "it hasn't been a major problem so far." "Got it." "Keep at it." "Understood." "But I think you should look at the encounter frequency in a bit more detail." "You're right." "Thanks." "Shiroe Log Horizon (Guild Master)" "Akatsuki?" "How do things look there?" "Yeah." "nothing major is going on here." "my lord?" "Things seem okay." "okay?" "Yeah." "Leave it to me." "Shiroe?" "It's too early for sighing." "villain." "Yeah." "A major gap is quickly developing here in Akihabara." "Those who can develop new technology or go hunting in the fields are getting richer and richer and those who can't are spending the small amount of money they make just to live." "That again?" "what are you trying to say is the cause of this gap?" "People learning the Teachings and the development of new items by crafters." "Why are the Teachings a problem?" "Anyone can get one if they work hard." "That isn't the issue." "The large guilds are using their manpower to expand their businesses." "We should work to prevent anyone from establishing a monopoly." "That's quite the accusation." "in terms of scale." "We don't do that." "And we haven't gained any Teachings." "The Teachings that each guild has learned should be made public." "The same with crafting recipes—" "Hey!" "That's going too far." "That's right." "making items has been a process of trial and error... the custom carriages." "Each of those represents a huge time investment by a craftsman." "The Teachings can only be used by the person there's no point." "I see." "Then why don't we confiscate any bank accounts 000 gold and redistribute it to adventurers with the fewest assets?" "That would help the income gap." "That's insane." "the recipes..." "They all belong to the people who worked hard to get them." "it'd be a huge deal." "don't you?" "But there are people who can't adapt to this society." "Are we just going to abandon them?" "That's why we've been holding all these events" "I thought..." "That arrogance just keeps them further away." "Hey." "I w-wasn't trying to be like that." "I just..." "If we give these people money and recipes will they start working hard and happily?" "Well..." "But we cannot just leave them." "If you force people to publicize their crafting recipes that would hurt the engineers' motivation." "it's a lot of hard work before it's done." "If only Crusty were here at a time like this..." "Don't be ridiculous." "I understand your proposal." "And I think some kind of action is necessary." "But the Round Table has a finite budget." "We aren't getting money from the nobles like Minami." "Let's all see what we can come up with." "But if it becomes too late..." "There's no point in doing this anymore." "If we make a huge decision like that just among ourselves it could destroy Akihabara." "1)}Boxurt Mountains Boxurt Field/ Monsters Present PVP Permitted Skill Use Permitted Entry Restrictions/ None Exit Restrictions/ None we made it into the Boxurt Mountains but this path is a mess!" "this was Hakone." "Hakone was originally a volcano." "Should I go on ahead?" "it'll be dangerous." "Yeah." "huh?" "Wait." "too." "I'll summon you some servants." "I'm your big sister." "Servants?" "Wh-What the?" "!" "I'll pass..." "Then take Wolfie!" "both of you." "then." "The sulfur really stinks..." "I told you Boxurt wasn't going to be easy." "But the fog's thicker than when I last came through here." "Looks like trouble." "We've still got quite a few..." "You guys in trouble?" "Are you adventurers?" "Want to buy some swords?" "We have some from levels 10 to 15." "made in Akihabara!" "our levels are higher than that." "what's going on?" "One of our carriages broke." "Then push the broken one into the ravine and pile all you can into the second." "I don't want to throw away our cargo." "Would you guys buy them all?" "That'd be great." "right?" "That's crazy." "but... travelers." "they've spent a whole day and night here." "1)}Dariella/ Chronicler but please forgive them." "um..." "I'm Dariella." "I'm a traveling writer." "A Person of the Land." "lady." "I'm Rundel Haus Code." "He's Tohya." "We're adventurers from Akihabara." "my." "From Akihabara?" "Would you be willing to carry some of these boxes to the fortress ahead?" "It would really help the merchants if adventurers were to aid them." "with those thin arms!" "Igarashi?" "It's Isuzu." "this box is filled with goat slimes..." "Some weird guy in Akihabara made us take them." "They ate really fast and passed right out!" "They spent a whole night on a mountain with monsters." "Of course they're exhausted." "Are you one of the merchants' wives?" "I was just riding back to Minami on their carriage." "huh?" "Yes." "how about some after-meal tea?" "too." "Snacks!" "These are Nyanta's special cookies!" "How are they?" "They're sweet." "They're very good." "Where are you all going?" "The Redstone Mountains." "but I'm going that far with them." "Because I'm their big sister!" "Big sister..." "You all certainly are young." "Our goal is just beyond the pass." "Yes." "But Shiroe said there might be wyverns here... right?" "Their range is spreading." "As are those of the ogres and other monsters." "What's that sound?" "somehow..." "It's coming closer!" "A raid team?" "They're with" "Plant Hwyaden." "From Minami!" "Lv. 90 Plant Hwyaden" "He's level 90." "So are the others." "They don't look like PKs." "They're probably the Odyssey Knights." "The ones protecting the People of the Land?" "Yes." "What's that thing they're carrying?" "It's the Mobile Temple of Boreas." "1)}The Mobile Temple of Boreas" "The Mobile Temple?" "I only heard about it on my travels but the Odyssey Knights are taking them all across the land." "It immediately revives any adventurer who loses their life in its vicinity." "they can revive anywhere and at any time." "An instant Cathedral." "So the Minami adventurers invented that?" "But they look so lifeless." "It's like a funeral procession." "It lets you revive anywhere." "And I don't know if it's a side effect of that but I'm told it disturbs the voices of adventurers' hearts." "The voices of their hearts?" "right?" "they stop at the town of Safil." "Isuzu performs a concert." "Her melodies entrance the People of the Land." "Isuzu is happy and exhausted when Rudy shares with her the secrets of this world's music and the People of the Land's dream." "Next time:" "When the Concert Ends."
