Let’s open the door and go in.

A woman is just getting up from her bed.

Even though she was a woman, she was quite small.

First of all, the room size is a normal size.

The space she lives in is only one-tenth of that.

The remaining 9/10ths were empty spaces.

“What, what! Why are you here! Come on, get out quickly!”

Nine, who saw us entering the room, was startled and got angry at me.

Anyway, it’s not scary at all.

Nine did not have any attack skills.

Because I didn’t design it that way.

It was possible to learn attack skills over the past 30 years.

I just know.

Even though Nine hates us so much in words, deep down he is happy that we came back.

“Get out now!”

It flapped its wings and flew over to me and pulled my hair.

sick.

The pull is so strong.

If Nine’s power had been just a little stronger, her hair would have been pulled out.

“I’m sorry. There were unavoidable circumstances.”

“Hmph! Even if there are circumstances, I can never forgive you for neglecting me for 30 years!”

“No. It’s not just my fault.”

Nine gave me a dumbfounded look at my words.

Even if he bows down and apologizes, it’s not enough, so he proudly shouts that it’s not his fault.

“You…. right now..!”

“Nine. Are you sure you haven’t messed with the defense system here? When I show my guild badge, the path opens. They say it’s all blocked.”

“Uh…? Well, what is that… Now, wait a minute!”

Nine’s expression changed in an instant and flew off somewhere.

Even if it had been blown away, it was her room that had been reduced to 1/10th the size.

“What are you doing?”

Ray’s curiosity wasn’t strange either.

Nine went back to his room and sat on a chair, touching the air here and there.

“That’s messing with the guild system. They’re probably checking to see if there’s a problem with the defense system.”

“How long does it take?”

“Well? I don’t know either. If not right away.. but it will end within today..”

“Aaaa!!”

At Nine’s scream, I stopped talking and hurried over to her.

“What’s going on?”

“Ah… this… why… why. Is this what happened? I have never set something like this before… Ah.. really back then?”

Did you realize something? Nine’s hand that was tearing his own hair stopped.

Then he looked at me and made an apologetic expression.

I guess I realized it wasn’t my fault.

Should I be a little condescending? I did it.

If I did that, I could really cry.

Just bear with it this time. I.

“What’s going on?”

“Well… look here.”

As Nine spread her hands wide to the left and right, the small screen that was focused on her gaze grew larger to the point where we could see it.

It seemed like there were some complicated blueprints and explanations written here and there, but my eyes began to spin.

“I don’t know what you’re asking me to look at?”

“Yes. I know. Because Ryuk doesn’t know how to see things like this. It’s here.”

I didn’t just curse, but I felt like I had been cursed.

For now, I shook off my thoughts and checked the part Nine was pointing to.

Unlike other places, there was only a red sign.

“This part is the system in charge of defense. But how does it look?”

“It’s red.”

“That’s right. Do you know what this means?”

In most systems, the red color is used in many ways.

The biggest one was a warning of danger.

“Isn’t it a warning?”

“It’s not wrong. To be precise, it means that the defense system has been raised to the highest level. That means.”

“Even if you have a guild badge, no one will be able to enter. When I saw Nine’s actions earlier. It probably means you know something.”

“Well, that is… of course. It’s my fault, but… I couldn’t help it!”

He looked up at me with a truly aggrieved expression.

“Explain. That way you can understand. If you just say it’s unfair, you won’t know.”

“… Well… about 30 years ago, when players started disappearing. Guild thieves once attacked here.”

“You can stop them even at a medium level, right?”

“Well… strangely, they were able to easily penetrate it, as if they figured out the pattern.”

“Ah..”

I get it.

NPCs who only did the same actions or injected commands when the player was present.

It started acting autonomously after the player disappeared.

But that doesn’t mean I didn’t remember anything before that.

Based on memory, he identified patterns and moved to break through defenses.

“So?”

“So… I have no choice but to increase my defense level. Did you accidentally raise it to the highest level?”

Nine playfully tried to pat his hair with his hand.

How should I do this? As I was thinking about it, a thought occurred to me.

“Well, okay. I forgive you. Because I also have faults for not showing up for 30 years.”

“Oh, that’s right! That’s Ryuk’s fault! I can’t forgive… No, I will forgive you! especially! Let this heart praise the broad and deep spirit Nine!”

“What is it? Mr. Ryuk. This unruly spirit. I’m more annoyed than Sid, the ice spirit…”

Lim Lim twitched his eyebrows when he saw Nine’s behavior and realized that it was absolutely not common sense that a servant should have.

Did you hear Lim Lim’s remarks?

Nine also couldn’t stay still.

“Then who are you? I was made like this by Ryuk! So no matter what I do to Ryuk, it’s absolutely nothing! It’s not strange!”

“I am Afrie’s maid. And Ryuk is also helping. Even if Ryuk-sama gives permission, there are some things servants must never do. From now on, I will tell you one thing first.”

“Afrieh? Ah… that little dragon. That’s right! He must have grown up a lot by now… That’s right. I heard that two doors were opened for some reason. The other person was… Kar. Both of you are working hard.”

Nine looked into space and muttered.

Probably looking at Afrire and Kar’s room.

I didn’t say anything because I knew what he was doing.

“For now, please guide everyone to their rooms and gather everyone together this evening. Because I have something to say.”

“…I understand. Although I never want to do it. I have no choice but to listen.”

With those words, Nine left the room.

“What are you doing? Hurry and follow me!”

Even screaming for no reason.

*

After everyone was shown to their rooms, I went into my room.

Nothing had changed at all from before.

Is the cleaning done thoroughly every time? As expected, there wasn’t a single speck of dust to be seen.

“First, from the warehouse.”

A huge treasure chest located in each room. The lid of the so-called warehouse was opened.

Then another inventory appears and various items contained within it.

I took out the items I currently needed and at the same time disposed of the items that were sitting idle in my inventory.

Looking at the neatly organized inventory, I smiled with satisfaction and closed the warehouse door.

“Good. All you need is this.”

I thought it would take a long time to find a guild.

Fortunately, I was able to find it sooner than expected. I wonder if it can be solved this easily.

[Quest in progress (2)]

There are two quests that have not yet been cleared.

One is preparation to become stronger given by the goddess of love.

The other was a quest to defeat the final boss.

Even if you think about it now, there is nothing you can do.

To solve the quest given by the Goddess of Love, I tried to use items taken out of the warehouse.

It was then.

smart.

Bella’s voice was heard along with the knock.

“Master. Can I come in?”

“Bella? You can come in.”

“Excuse me.”

The door opens and Bella comes inside.

A slightly nervous look appeared on her face.

Why is your face like that? How many times have you come into my room before?

Even when I’m naked.

“What’s wrong? Your face doesn’t look good?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. There’s just something I’m curious about. That’s…”

Bella looked at the item in my hand and had a question.

“I think I might as well learn at least one ultimate skill.”

“I see. Can I ask what you would like to learn?”

“Of course. What I will learn is the darkness attribute.”

Darkness surprisingly had good synergy with water.

It had good synergy with not only water, but also all attributes except light, including fire, wind, and earth.

Instead, there is a problem that it is difficult to learn and you can die if you don’t do it.

It was an attribute that was rarely learned except by those who made assassination their job or villains.

“Don’t think strange things. Because this is something I’ve wanted to learn for a long time.”

“..Yes. I understand.”

It looks like he didn’t believe what I said.

Well, so far I have been learning skills for my colleagues rather than for myself.

It wasn’t strange to have such a mistake.

but. This was exactly what I wanted to do.

It was the only ultimate skill I couldn’t learn during my gaming days. If not this time, the opportunity is completely lost.

“If you have time, would you please help me? I think it would be difficult to do alone.”

“Of course. Let us help you.”

Bella nodded without even thinking and walked towards me.
