Session 31: Round table (1)

Since its opening, the Crescent Burger has been like a powerful rejuvenator. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The original dead silence of Akihabara has been revitalized, and the pomp and circumstance of the dragon have been integrated into the city, exuding a sense of vibrancy.

"I didn't expect this kind of 'ordinary excitement' that I take for granted would make people feel precious."

This is a change from the previous practice of nesting in the guild hall all morning, and the emotion of the autumn garden after going around the street in the morning, Miyagawa Hinata who accompanied her out also nodded in agreement.

Although the noisy and bustling scene attracted some of their attention, when the two returned to the vicinity of the guild hall, they still heard a lot of adventurers talking to each other.

"First the 'Silver Sword', 'DDD' and 'Black Sword Knights', and since then... Is it coming again? This time it's actually 'Zephyr Brigade'!? ”

"Listen to me, in fact, I have seen the 'Ocean Agency' and 'Integrity' go inside."

"Really?"

A low exclamation erupted among the adventurers, and then more people speculated, "Are all the guildmasters of the Grand Guild gathered together?" What the hell is going on?" the three of them exchanged in a whisper.

As in the Exodus, the crowd spread out to both sides of the road and gave way to the advancing 'Zephyr Brigade' and others.

Seeing the open road surrounded by people in the middle of the street, Akiniwa Yuba walked unceremoniously to the middle, although at first there were some criticisms in the hearts of many people, but when they saw Akiniwa Yuba and Sojiro Seita familiar with each other, talking and laughing side by side, they began to guess who this unknown girl (at least the appearance of the character is like this) is.

Soon the group arrived at the conference hall on the roof of the guild hall, the central building of Akihabara.

This meeting room is open to all adventurers who use the guild hall, but there is no electricity in this world, and the elevator is just a decorative iron box, and the only way to enter is to climb the sixteenth floor staircase that has been reduced to ruins. So whether it's the age of gaming or the post-cataclysm, almost no one is bored enough to climb up to the ultra-deserted place here.

A large round table sits in the center of the large space with high ceilings.

After taking a seat, the autumn garden Yuba looked to both sides, and all the people present were representatives who had enough weight to be called Akihabara.

Because the meeting hadn't started yet, Akiwa Yuba turned sideways and said to Miyagawa Hinata and Yalai behind him, "Hey, this is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Before I came, I thought it was just an enlarged version of the small and medium-sized guild alliance. ”

Since everyone hasn't come yet, everyone is still in a more casual relationship, so Miyagawa Hinata leaned in his ear and whispered a general introduction to the people present for Autumn Garden Xiye.

Almost all of the leaders gathered here are the leaders of the giant guilds, such as the 'Marine Agency', the 'Loderick Chamber of Commerce', and the 'Eighth Shopping Street' are all large production guilds.

The 'Black Sword Knights', 'Integrity', 'D.D.D', 'Silver Sword', and 'Zephyr Brigade' are powerful battle guilds that are large in scale or have outstanding achievements.

As for the three guilds of the 'Three Sun and Moon Alliance', 'Gulandil' and 'RADIO Market', although they are small in scale, they were the leaders who once initiated an attempt to unite small and medium-sized guilds, but unfortunately ended in failure.

Only 'Recorded Horizon' and 'Garan Garden' are guild names that no one knows or heard, but they are only the large-scale guild leaders who are qualified to gather here, each with a considerable degree of intelligence-gathering ability, and less than a quarter of the members present to Cheng Huitou with a surprised expression.

And the guild leader of the latter's 'Garan Garden', Autumn Garden, was almost poked into a sieve by this gaze.

Let the autumn garden Xiye have a feeling in the wrong place.

There were thirteen people sitting around the round table, mostly accompanied by a few cronies, and there were about forty players in the large space. The crowd had different expressions, some were uneasy, some were surprised, some were expressionless, some were confident, and they all gathered in this room after receiving the invitation ten days ago, just like her.

While everyone in the seats was watching each other, Serara of the 'Three Sun and Moon Alliance' came to the room and offered everyone a cold fruit tea, which had not yet been sold in the 'Crescent Moon', which surprised some of the members, but this small waver was also swallowed up, and the audience remained silent.

After tasting it, Qiu Ting Xiye whispered: "Although this fruit tea feels very good, it is not as good as our cook." He turned his head and smiled at Arai.

Yalai behind him also responded with a slight smile, and seemed to be unimpressed by this.

Marielle, who was sitting next to her, turned her head in surprise to look at the autumn garden and almost screamed. But before she could ask a question, all the participants had already taken their seats and the initiator of the roundtable, Megumi Cheng, stood up to open the meeting and was interrupted.

"You've taken time out of your busy schedules to come here – thank you very much, I'm Horizon of Record' Joe...... Today's invitation to you is to discuss a topic that is a bit complicated, and I think it will take some time, so please be patient. ”

"Let's make a long story short in the opening remarks, Cheng Hui of the 'Debaucher's Tea Party' is not unrecognizable."

The one who said this was the 'Black Sword Knights' Azak, one of the few high-level players in Japan who had servers and was also a battle-hardened warrior. According to the explanation information given by Miyagawa Hinata, it is a combat-type guild that pursues elitism and has all guild members at least level 85 or above.

(Is this the guild leader of the Knights of the Wasted Knights, one of Akihabara's top combat-oriented guilds, and the first player on the entire server to receive the fantasy-level magic item Sword of Death from the throne of the large dungeon Radamantis?) )

Basically, there is no need to speak, and the idle Autumn Garden Yuba looks at it in his heart combining information and his own impressions.

"What the hell is going on at this party?" At this time, the voice of irritation was the young 'Silver Sword' guild leader William, who tied his silky silver hair behind his back, and the character looked like a typical 'elf young master', seeing him repeatedly change his feet and cross his legs, he seemed to have little patience.

"Since some of you are saying that, let's get to the point without further ado, whether it's a consultation or a proposal, but in short, I want to discuss the current state of Akihabara. As you know, it is a very embarrassing fact that we were trapped in this other world after the "Great Apocalypse" and could not find any way to return to the original earth, and we could not find the slightest clue about it. On the other hand, the atmosphere in Akihabara is gradually deteriorating under this situation, and many of my companions have lost their motivation, and some people have even given up on themselves, and the economy is depressed, and the efficiency of exploration has not improved at all. ”

As soon as Cheng Hui's words fell, there was a slight agitation among the crowd.

"I can see what you mean, but what exactly has been done? It's like a small and medium-sized guild alliance program that failed before? ”

Slightly suppressing the noise in the hall was the Guild Master of 'Integrity' Arnes who asked.

"Something similar, but I've heard that the plan failed."

After Cheng Hui responded, one of the parties explained: "This plan did collapse, but I think it was because all aspects were too strong, and the plan at that time was to combine small and medium-sized guilds against large guilds...... In other words, it's the small guilds that come together and fight to protect their interests, so our plan will fail. ”

At the same time, Marielle added: "Yes, we said on the surface that we wanted to cooperate, but in the end we only pursued the interests of our own guild, so we couldn't reach a consensus, and the plan ended in failure. ”

After listening to this, Adams asked, "This time you want to gather all the forces—at least enough to represent all the forces of Akihabara—to realign the stakes?" ”

As soon as the words ended, there was restlessness in the venue again, and it was not difficult to guess that the thoughts in everyone's hearts were: There is no way for small and medium-sized guilds to unite, and if it affects the rights and interests of the big guilds, it is even more impossible to realize, this practice is simply crazy!

The invitation letter had Marielle's signature, that is, the signature of the 'Three Sun and Moon Alliance', which made those present think in their hearts, "In other words, isn't this meeting the 'follow-up' after the failure of the small and medium-sized guild alliance plan?" "This kind of questioning.

When the people present reacted to these words, Qiu Ting Xiye leisurely picked up the cup and brought it to his mouth to taste, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

(Although I have been prepared for a long time, it should not be just this (the follow-up to the small and medium-sized guild alliance)... Shouldn't we use the huge amount of money from monopoly management to achieve some kind of suppression of superiority and achieve the goal of gaining dominance? )

Looking at the somewhat chaotic scene, Autumn Garden Yuba continued to dig deep into the memories in his mind, hoping to find valuable information from it.

"This time, the main purpose is different, but it is to improve the current situation in Akihabara."

Cheng Megumi's clear words were interrupted by a voice leaving the table, and the slightly noisy venue quickly fell silent.

"If that's the case, please let us leave." The person who stood up was William, the head of the 'Silver Sword' guild who had been showing impatience just now, and he adjusted the position of the saber on his waist and lifted the drape: "We are a battle guild, and the atmosphere in the city has nothing to do with us, this is just a place for us to come back and exchange items for money, in other words, we don't care if the atmosphere is sinister or harmonious - the affairs of the city will be done by those who are interested." It's supposed to be a waste of time, but I don't think it's a bad thing, it's just that we're not interested in this kind of thing, so don't count us in. ”

After saying this, William left the conference room without looking back.

There was another commotion in the room.

With a quick glance, Marielle's face became a little ugly, but when she noticed the organizer Joe, she noticed that his face had not changed at all, as if everything that had just happened was taken for granted.

(So, is this still in the plan, at least in the direction that the plan can bear?) )

Although it is still the appearance of drinking tea and soy sauce, Qiuting Xiye can't help but start to guess.

(I guess I want to show you what it's like to be called dark glasses.) )

Postscript: Sure enough, the roundtable is so difficult to grasp, how difficult is it...... It's like a G-pen.
