Shatei Kyokufuri Yumi-Ojisan

players! And since we all scattered during the preliminaries, I dont know how Koromaro was fighting! And all of the enemies in the first round were men! We had no way of knowing! Ahahaha!”

“Well…I feel bad for you then. However, I must show no mercy. Im only a nun in appearance!”

Anne began to swing her spiked iron ball round and round.

Garbow also prepared to attack.

Yushia was just laughing.

He sounded like a Demon King now…!

“Fuhahahaha! If I had been lucky enough to draw a man, then Koromaro might have helped me win. But I suppose the goddess of fate has abandoned me!”

“What? You drew lots to decide your opponents?”

“We did! We werent choosing combinations that would give us an advantage! To be honest, I doubted we could win no matter what the combination, and so we left it to fate! This game has a feature that allows you to make decisions based on lots or coin tosses, so that you wont fight when forced to make decisions as a party!”

“Huh. I didnt know that.”

“Im the type of person who carefully reads the manual! Well, perhaps youre supposed to call itHelp now…”

“Saint Cross Star!”

“Kind Shield!”

The seven holy iron balls were blocked by a cream-colored aura!

“Its 2 vs 1 now… Are you not going to run away?”

“Aye, this is like a boss fight for the hero… I cannot run away! Now, come! I will defeat you with my power!”

“Very well! Garbow, uh…Meteor Bow! Ah, this was Kyujis combination charge attack! What other ones look strong…”

“W-wait! How about we fight 1 vs 1 without Unisons…”

“Hmph! You do have a lot of demands!”

“I cannot deny it…”

As Anne had fought a lot on the Ghost Float, where players would ambush her and use dirty tactics, she had grown into a rather severe player when it came to fighting.

And then she had met the biggest enemy on the Ghost Float, VRHARs guild master, Nord. And she had to run away after being rescued by Kyuji.

After that, she adventured with Necoco and was finally chosen as a member of the Ghost Guild.

As Anne usually talked very calmly, it could be hard to read her emotions.

However, within her chest, a strong sense of camaraderie and the passionate soul of a gamer was starting to be born.

“I cannot lose!”

The battle between Anne and Yushia ended very quickly.

Indeed, she did not even require Garbows help.

“Im sorry for having demands until the end! Thank you! It was fun! But…I do wish that I could have won like a cool hero…! I want to…become stronger!”

“You want power?”

“Yes! Yes!”

“Then I know a good place where you can train. Its called the Ghost Float… You should try to look for it!”

“I will! I shall train there so that I can beat you next time!”

While they had gained a lot of attention as a gathering of very old men, the Gz were seen mostly as a joke, and not actually strong.

However, they would continue to adventure and train, and would one day grow into players that could fight boldly and hold their own against the young. But that would not happen for quite some time.

‘Battle finished!!

And so the 12th battle of the second round, the Gz vs Ghost Guild, ended 4 to 0, with the Ghost Guild victorious.
