Chapter 125 Ichijouji Komaris Tutorial

(Komaris PoV)

Over here, Komari! Once I finished making my character and appeared on the square of the Beginners City, Seigi immediately called out to me.

Oh, there you are. I replied as I moved closer to him, By the way, my username is Marie. Yours?

Masa. He plainly replied.

Thats so uncreative. I told him.

As if youre one to talk He said Come on, I did spend a while thinking of this username, alright!?

Figuring it was not worth the effort to reply though, I decided to change topics, In any case, lets try looking for Kakos acquaintance. She didnt tell us about the persons appearance, but theyre probably-

Youre Kakos friends, right? A woman in pure black clothing that was holding a really imposing scythe suddenly called out to us.

And you are? Seigi I mean, Masa asked her. He seemed to be quite weary for some reason.

Im the person Kako told you about. Ill be helping you out for the time being. She explained.

I see, Im sorry for the inconvenience, but well be in your care. Masa said while bowing to her.

Thanks for the help! I said while waving my arm Though its a bit surprising to see that Kako knows this kind of person, Im Marie, by the way.

And Im Masa. Seigi said.

And Im Blossom Well, for now, lets leave this city. Wait, were leaving the city!? And shes not even waiting for us!?

We had to run after her in order to not be left behind What kind of help is that!?

Since youre probably wondering, I suppose I should say it now, but there are no tutorials in the game because the tutorial NPC was killed. Blossom explained as we moved.

Eh!? Both me and Masa exclaimed.

And since there is nothing meaningful to be done here, its better for us to leave right away. She continued I did hear that the city was taken over by a player, but I didnt expect the tutorial NPC to have been killed Goodness, Anyways, try calling out <Status> for now.

<Status> We both said as she instructed, and a translucent scream appeared in front of us, showing our equipment, basic stats and some other stuff.

Thats the default display, you can play with the settings a bit to change its appearance in case you want it to fit the setting better For example, <Book>. As Blossom said that, a status screen that looked like an old book appeared in front of her Thats so cool!

Me and Seigi played with the settings for a bit. I ended up getting something that looked about the same as Blossoms book, while Masa made it look more like a scroll.

Once she noticed we were done, she asked us, Alright, now tell me your base weapons and magical elements.

I use a sword and fire magic. Masa said.

I use a bow and wind magic. I said.

That should work for the time being, its a decent party balance for starters. I sent a party request to you two either way. As she told us that, a small translucent pop up appeared asking us if we wanted to join her party, and it seemed like this was also customizable, so lets change those settings later.

After we accepted the request, she said, Now lets get started. Ill be training you hard up until the next event starts, so be prepared!

P-please be kind with us! I replied.

Seems fun. Masa seemed to have already gotten used to her Also, even though shes not Kako, she seems to be about as enthusiastic about this as Kako was when she said shed call her acquaintance. How mysterious.

She then said something a bit unbelievable, So, for now, lets search for some players or NPCs to kill. It shouldnt be too hard if you sneak up on them.

Eh!? Me and Masa said in unison.

Its the most efficient way to quickly get levels in the early game. At around level 35 it becomes more efficient to hunt monsters, so well switch to that later, but for now its better to go for humans. She explained What a weird game, to encourage players to kill one another from the start Also, dont get close to the players that are known as Perverted Gentleman and Genocider.

Why? I asked her while tilting my head.

Because the pervert is unsurprisingly a pervert, and the Genocider is an absolutely mad woman. Well, those seem like good enough reasons, I suppose, and also my prey.

She started laughing out loud after saying that She seemed to be having fun while at the same time looking quite jealous and angry Whats up with this woman!?
