The only joy of teaming up with people is not boring, or being able to give people a sense of being alive. Conversations with others, adventures together, and the joy of getting treasures are only experienced when a few people are together.

The advantage of walking alone is that you don't need to protect others, as long as your strength is enough, you can survive without worrying about your teammates.

The reason why Natsume joined in was not only to be bored, but also to see what kind of point this group of people would come to.

Truth be told, if they keep that mentality, they'll be eliminated before they become top players.

Optimism is good, but if you are too optimistic, you will only incur death.

On the afternoon of the second day after soaking in the hot springs, which is the third day of coming to this world, Natsume receives an invitation for them to explore together.

The task of the Raiders group is to defeat the strongest boss on this floor to open the portal to the previous floor, while ordinary players only have to explore the unknown labyrinth area and some mini-boss rooms.

Natsume had told them where he was staying, but when they saw Natsume and Sophiri living together, they were all surprised.

Indeed, in the game, apart from the real friends who will not betray, only the husband and wife will live in the same room.

No, even becoming a husband and wife at SAO is not necessarily reassuring, because after sharing a backpack, the other party may take it all out and store it elsewhere, and finally divorce.

So, Natsume explained the relationship between the two, claiming that it was to take Sophie to attack the upper echelons. Help her find something and temporarily combine the employment relationship.

Although Sophie was said to be an employer. But she looked more like a servant than her employer. Natsume: There's no way around that.

Coming out of the hotel, Sophie walked behind Natsume as usual, grabbing the corner of his coat with her hand to keep up with the group.

"Speaking of which, Natsume has such a level, why don't you go to the top strategy group? Not only can you get good equipment, but even the money will increase a lot. ”

"It's good to be down-to-earth and work with people, to be honest, I'm not good at it. This is not arrogance. It's just that in battle, it's more convenient to be alone, isn't it? ”

"That's right."

Kerry, who was talking to Natsume, pointed to the spear next to him.

"This guy almost stabbed me in the arm with a spear when attacking the enemy in the previous battle, and as you said, he must be in the way."

"You're not qualified to talk about me, the last time you caught a large beast fish by the lake, you bastard leader actually used me as bait! I almost got killed! ”

Not really!

The two confronted each other, and Natsume felt a little relieved about the harmonious atmosphere.

The four of them, wrong. After adding Natsume, the guild composed of five people is the [Nameless Brigade], and judging from the name of the guild, it is found to be very casual. But the word brigade suits them very well.

"On the question of the battle."

Kindness? Looking to the side, Sakurami, who was leaning over timidly, seemed to be sliding her hand over her representation frame, and if she didn't visualize it, she wouldn't be able to see it here.

While sliding her arms, Sakura brushed the hair from her ears behind her ears with her hands.

"Every time I attack an enemy, I always feel that it is different from what I imagined, and the triggering of skills is much slower than what I actually work in my mind, isn't that strange?"

"It's not so much strange as there is a difference, a difference between players and players. Generally, the corresponding action of the skill can be triggered according to the system assistance, but the system assistance is to correct the action and the judgment of the skill that is solved, if the posture and preparation are not sufficient, the correction of the system will naturally take some time, so the skill trigger will be relatively slow. ”

"Is there a problem in the first place?"

Seeing Sakurami bow her head, Natsume thought about it.

"That's it.,For the long sword envoy.,The powerful skill of a single attack is only suitable for solo and raiding bosses.,Since that's a little difficult.,Change the direction to combo.,After all, as long as you can keep slashing.,The probability of triggering will be much higher.,Isn't it? And it's not like you're not impossible, you just need a little training, and it's the same for any player. ”

"I see, thank you very much."

Bowing her head and thanking her, Sakura ran to Yari in front of her, talking about the information she had just gotten and recording it.

What do you think? He patted Natsume's shoulder with his hand, and the president, who looked very casual, but had a heart that cared deeply about his companions, came from the side.

He said, looking at the two people in front of him

"Both of them are good people, and when they met them before, they basically ignored us and completely regarded us as bad people, but after fighting again, they trusted each other, and this is also fate."

"After all, when you fight, you will entrust your life to the other party."

"Yes, then, Comrade Natsume, who do you have a crush on?"

"What do you mean?"

I didn't understand for a moment, but I immediately came back to my senses.

He picked up Nicks' words with a wave of his hand.

"No, no, how is it possible, regarding the matter of forming a team, I did join you, but I will leave after a certain level."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"There are all sorts of factors, but before that, I should be able to get along with you for a while."

That's not bad, I accepted Natsume's words very happily, and the group came to the place where the portal was.

The reason for choosing the afternoon is that many of the top players have already finished up, so the space left is a hunting area for the average player.

However, Natsume knew that they were more like going on a tour than going to the labyrinth area.

The place where the group of six people teleported was similar to the last time, except that there was an extra stone tablet here, on which a document was written in reptilian characters.

The content is not important, what matters is the danger of this forest labyrinth.

Judging from the current floor, the top monster should be level 30, and the monster with level 10 is also very powerful.

The arrangement of the team began, as the leader at the forefront, the person holding the broadsword and shield was Kerke, the person who assisted him was the spearman Celit, and the remaining Natsume four were observing the remaining three directions, Sophie continued to follow him, his eyes fell everywhere, keenly observing the possible dangers around him.

Suddenly, Natsume saw the woods in front of him move, and a flash of red flashed from his vision.

Is it a delusion?

A split second of awareness hadn't allowed the system to flag it, so Natsume couldn't figure out what it was.

As we move on, the road begins to change from a flat path to a steep mountain path, and there is no end in sight to the gravel paved road.

In addition to this, there are countless forks in the road and dead ends blocked by vertical walls.

Yari in the team kept using a red cloth towel as a marker, in case she forgot the way back, and since Natsume had already remembered it, it didn't matter if she didn't use it.

However, he didn't say it, and this kind of content was still in his heart. (To be continued......)
