Shangri-La Frontier – Thợ săn game rác chinh phục game thần - Critical Strike!!

Motivation is difficult to maintain, but even harder to generate. It's even more challenging to inspire someone who dedicates a significant portion of their life to a specific game, especially if they're a professional gamer. However, by chance, my words sparked a motivation in Nakajima's heart, and Pencilgon, who usually misses such opportunities, didn't.

"Ah, I remember now, the name is different and the avatar is the opposite, so I didn't notice. If I think about it calmly, Argenaoul means silver and gold, doesn't it?"

My expression of surprise made me narrow my eyes, and Rin's mouth twitched. The other one, however, started talking rapidly.

"No, I think that person is amazing. You know, they leveled up so quickly within a limited time and caught up to the front lines of exploration... Ah, I think Hikaru also helped, right? Of course, even if Hikaru can't initiate a unique scenario, leveling up with them one-on-one will make you stronger... Ah, Nakajima, what if you asked Shinnamon to level up too? We're on the same team, right, Ne...?"

"Yes, that's right. It's natural to ask for help from someone with experience, isn't it?"

"Of course! You two also think so, right?"

"Indeed."

"Y, yes, I think it's very important to do such things...!"

With the three of them being teased, Nakajima seemed to be in a hurry, as he immediately started looking up information about Shunfro on his portable device. Oh, Nakajima is the type who looks up the exploration from the beginning...

"Oh, it's already this time... Come on, Nakajima, let's go."

"Yes, I think so... Well, we're going, so..."

"G, good luck."

"Thank you, the face-hidden friend?"

I confirmed that the potato fairy who secretly called me face-hidden was unforgivable, and I decided to leak information to Argenaoul later...

"Ah, Rin."

"Y, yes!?"

"If possible, could you keep the fact that I'm face-hidden a secret... I haven't decided on that path yet."

"I understand! I, I'll take you to the grave!"

No, it's not something you should remember until you go to the grave, is it? Well, I'd rather you forget it.

Of course, I admit that professional gamers have dreams, and if I decide to, I can become a professional gamer with just one email. From the perspective of other professional gamers, it might seem like I'm being selective, but I understand that.

However, for professional gamers, games are a duty, not a hobby. That's what's lowering my mood. Also, Takeda's future plan is working well so far, so I don't want to cancel it on my own... In short, I want to delay the conclusion, specifically until high school graduation.

"B, but it's amazing... I just had lunch with a professional gamer, right..."

"Ah, yeah, I guess so."

Professional gamer, that's right, that person is a professional gamer. A professional gamer who can compete with baseball players in terms of salary... I only have the impression of being a junk food addict, but that person is a professional gamer.

It's bad, my impression is fixed by their performance rather than their job. Also, it's because after my first impression was crushed by them, they continued to throw and be thrown, and they still can't initiate a unique scenario. It's not grateful.

"Uh... then, should we return to the stage? I heard about it from Flage, but it's a Shunfro special this time."

"Uh, um... should we wait for Rust and the others?"

"No..."

◇

Sanraku: By the way, how long is the waiting time now?

Rust: One hour.

◇

"They disappeared into the long snake's belly..."

"Good, with the discount ticket."

It's exactly like that.

...

...

...

"Hello! It's been one hour! Have you eaten lunch? Or are you still not? I ate with Nakajima."

"Eh? Am I the only one who didn't?"

"No, no, Eight was streaming lunch, right. It's amazing to stream even during breaks."

It seems that Eight was streaming in the background because he wasn't there. Well, Nakajima is more alienated than me, but...

"Then, everyone, please wait! I'll deliver the latest information about Shunfro, so let's get excited!"

The audience cheered loudly.

"( *¯ ⁻̫ ¯*)"

"Ah, I guess I'll have to wear it..."

"Well, since it's a good opportunity..."

I probably won't use this in my daily life, so I should use it when I can.

As expected from the pencil leak, the implementation of Exo Dinosaur Monsters and the World Story "Kingdom Turmoil" were announced... just as I had heard before.

The scene and the broadcast were both lively. Well, events are happening on the old continent side as well, but they were large-scale battles based on raids... In any case, the fact that there is a difference between players who went to the new continent and those who didn't is undeniable.

Although it's a large-scale event, PvP warfare on a war scale can't be done on the new continent side, which is the strength of the old continent side. Moreover, the implementation of Exo Dinosaur Monsters in various places, which can be fought in units of one party, is a blessing for players who are excluded from unique scenarios and feel reluctant to participate in raids.

Exo Dinosaur Monsters... I have a feeling that it's a monster species that will definitely occur, but I'll log in and check when I get back. That's what I was thinking when...

"N, no...?"

"W, what...?"

"Wa-"

The three people on the stage suddenly shouted wildly. Pencilgon, who is extremely rare, even had cracks in his facial expressions used for the stage, and his face was pulled.

Not only that, but the reaction of the three people, who had a common timing, also caused confusion in the audience.

"N...?"

Why are you looking at me now? You're not hiding it...

"U, um, can I say this?"

"Y, yes."

What is it...

"E, emergency report! The unique monster 'Orchestra of the Abyss' at Shunfro has just ended... it seems."

"..."

"E, eh... Gakuro?"

Orchestra, cleared???

H, how? Did the library do it? No, I'm not upset, I just... I took a heavy mental damage to the lower part of my stomach... Really? Did you find a unique one first and surpass it? Well, it's not rare for such cases to happen, and I have such experiences too.

Did you break through the super terrible Orchestral Guard? How did you do it???
