Chapter 102

"Yuri-chan, I shall defeat you in our next battle, mark my words...! Nom nom nom nom...!"

"Oh, hit me whenever, I'm always up for battle!"

After the art acquisition quest. A vexed Kirika and I were stuffing ourselves with Mapo Tofu at a Chinese restaurant in the 'Beginning Town'.

It was Kirika who had invited me, saying, "BSO's taste reproduction is so excellent it is almost annoying, and the food here is very delicious, but it is a bit embarrassing to eat at a restaurant alone..."

The sight of her in a courtesan dress gluttonously eating Mapo Tofu at a Chinese restaurant seemed quite out of place.

"Hmm~, the dishes in BSO truly are delicious...! There was nothing but rice balls in 'Sengoku Rokudo Online', and they tasted like dirt, too..."

"Haha, that, in a sense, is a faithful reproduction of the late Sengoku period. By the way, Kirika, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Your avatar is specially made by the devs for the Assassins from Other Worlds event, right?"

"Yes, but what of it?"

"Well, you were trying to learn 'Special Action Art', weren't you? I was wondering if you guys could acquire arts and skills like normal players."

At my question, Kirika nodded, "We can. After all, our avatars are practically the same as yours. The only difference is, ours are high-leveled from the start and come with replicas of techniques from other games."

"You've gotta be kidding..."

Kirika was nonchalant about it, but the truth she revealed was quite a shock to me. The devs sure were a nasty bunch.

I mean, think about it. The assassins might be strong, but as long as their abilities remained stagnant, we could definitely defeat them in due time.

With the right strat and a bit of luck, even those not good at fighting would have a good chance of beating them.

But if those already strong assassins could learn arts and skills and grow stronger...

"They're... gonna be super difficult to take down...! Top-class players like the baldhead and Zansword aside, the majority of players with average battle sense but made it to level 50 with sheer hard work will only get slaughtered powerlessly during this event...!"

It wasn't so long ago that I thought the devs had become a little more decent, but they quickly proved me wrong.

Why were they always playing with fire? If things went wrong, the players might quit en masse...

"Those guys are really beyond help..."

I was so exasperated that a sigh escaped from my lips without me knowing.

-But then, Kirika said with her cheeks full of Mapo Tofu, "That's no cause for concern."

"Kirika...?"

"No one will quit. -Because they have you here. You became the strongest with a trash job, weakest weapon, and rotten stat...!

"Regardless of how harsh an ordeal the developers brought upon you, you have always faced it with a smile on your face. You can enjoy the 'impossible' and make it 'possible', and that is enough to give hope to other players. No one will quit with you around...!"

Kirika's tone as she spoke was filled with definite enthusiasm.

The first time we met, she ridiculed 'Blade Skill Online' as a warm and friendly game.
