What Kind Of Newbie Are You?! They Said That “Summoner” Is A Terrible Job, Yet They Call Her The Last Boss - Chapter 42

30 minutes later, at 14:00, the 2v2 duel begins at the Colosseum.

“Wait, Kon-san,” Zecca said. “What did you mean!?”

With Donald and Remma taking over as the shopkeepers, the three remaining members of Dragon Hina walked toward the venue.

“What’d I mean about what, exactly?” Kon asked.

“Everything,” Zecca replied. “The guild battle, that ridiculous price increase…”

“Do I need a reason, y’all?” Kon asked.

The announcement of the guild battle had arrived around 12:00. While trading summoning stones, Kon seems to have seen the news before it was publicly announced.

“There’s no reason needed, y’all,” Kon said. “From where y’all can get money, take as much money as y’all can, tha’s all.”

“Kon-chan, you don’t have to force yourself to be a villain,” Johann said, hugging Kon’s shoulder from the side.

“You mean we’re friends, y’all? If I want, we can talk?” Kon said, scratching her cheek in embarrassment. “Friends… huh? Aah, geez… I’m gettin’ all emotional in front of Maou-han… I’m havin’ regrets you know, y’all…”

“Regrets…?” Johann asked.

Kon nodded.

“If y’all had to pick the strongest guild, Zecca-chan, which would they be?” Kon asked.

“Right, it’s got to be the Swords of the Farthest Reach where those two came from, right?” Zecca asked.

“Y’all would say that, wouldn’t ya?” Kon said. “But, that ain’t right. The most powerful guild is the Duelin’ Lodge!”

“Ah……” Zecca said.

The Dueling Lodge guild. The name sounded familiar to Zecca. It was once the strongest guild. It consisted only of Summoners. In the golden age of Summoners, the Swords of the Farthest Reach were unable to do anything against them, and due to the nerfing of Summoners, that guild collapsed.

“I was the guild deputy there, y’all,” Kon said. “Speakin’ of which, you plus the two of them dealt with us once and for all, Zecca-chan…”

“I’m sorry… I don’t remember that,” Zecca said.

“No, no, s’alright. But we’ll never forget,” Kon said.

At that time, due to Pulelehua’s Skill, Summoners teamed up with other Summoners to be the strongest. Summoners therefore solidified and formed their own sub-community in this game.

And in such an era when Summoners were the strongest, players from other Jobs such as those from the Swords of the Farthest Reach and the Sacred Cult of Elysion protested to the management.

“The Summoner balance is weird.” “If you don’t nerf them, I’ll quit the game.” “Balance the Summoners already.”

“Hey, Zekka-chan?” Kon asked. “Did we do somethin’ wrong? You said us Summoners were cheatin’, but do y’all know what cheatin’ even means?”

“Kon-chan,” Johann said. “Don’t take it out on Zecca.”

“It’s okay, Johann-san,” Zecca said. “What Kon-san said is… everything is correct.”

During the heyday of the Summoners, Zecca was also one of those who said that Summoners were out of balance. No, at that time, players of all occupations other than Summoners thought so.

Therefore, the management had no choice but to weaken it in the name of game balance.

“The place I used to love is no more, y’all,” Kon said. “Everyone gone went and quit. Even the strategy sites gone went and said, ‘It’s stupid to start as Summoner now’… so we never got any new Summoners.”

Since the nerf, Kon has lost a companion every day.

“I’m about to quit. Ah, I’ll give you my summoning stones.”

“There’s a Summoner Job in another game, so I’m going to enjoy that one instead.”

“Do you want to continue playing this shit game?”

The number of guild members decreases each time Kon logs in, and her heart wears out. And her guild, which she loved so much, had disappeared. This is because they fell short of the minimum number of five members.

At some point, the strongest guild was supposed to be Swords of the Farthest Reach. Kon couldn’t let that happen. They’re fakes. They were the true strongest. That thought has bound her to this game.

“Well, I couldn’t forgive ‘em,” Kon said. “Those guys who came to my place to buy summoning stones with those calm faces… honestly…”

By now, Kon was in tears. Zecca gently wipes them for her. Zecca regretted it. The strongest era of Summoners. Every time they lost, they said, “Do your jobs, Management” and “Hurry up and balance the game.” You could say it was a meme at first. It’s like a cliché that every player who loses to a summoner says.

“No… that’s wrong,” Kon said. “It may just be an excuse.”

Until she met Johann, even Zecca believed that anyone who chose to become a Summoner would be happy as long as they were strong, as long as they could win, and they didn’t have any shame about their cheap tactics. But that was wrong.

The woman who shed tears in front of Zecca was a player just like them, who loved her Job as a Summoner and enjoyed playing with her friends.

Zecca holds Kon’s hand and looks straight into her eyes.

“Huh? What?” Kon said.

“Kon-san. Let’s definitely win this duel!” Zecca said.

“No… why did y’all suddenly become motivated? Me and Maou-han will…”

“Yeah! Zecca-chan and Kon-chan!” Johann said. “I think you should do this duel together. You’ll make a good combination!”

“Hey, Maou-han… even if you team us up against these two, we can’t win… Summoners should team up with Summoners, yeah?”

“That’s not true!” Zecca said. “I’m the one who quit because I didn’t like how the Swords of the Farthest Reach were going! I’m sure I and you will get along well, Kon-san!”

“No, even if y’all say something like that… huh, are y’all really going to do it?”

Thus begins the counterattack by the odd duo.

Three people stepped into the Coliseum. Then Johann was transferred to the spectator seats, and Zecca and Kon were transferred to the field.

“Oh my,” Guilita said, “are you saying the Demon King is a reserve?”

“Hmm… I thought we could pick up where left off from that time, but this is a disappointment,” Roland said.

They were unquestionably let down. Their reason for taking the duel was, of course, to purchase summoning stones, but another reason was to test their power relative to Johann.

“Y’all are mockin’ us, aren’t ya?” Kon said.

“They are. But they’ll soon regret it. We’ll make you pay for insulting us,” Zecca said.

At that moment. As 14:00 approaches, the signal for the duel’s start rings out.

“Don’t interfere with me, Onii-chan,” Guiltia said as she stepped forward. “I’ll deal with her alone.”

“…… Understood,” Roland said.

The enemy’s aim is to find out what cards they have up their sleeves, isn’t it? Roland didn’t want his younger sister, the guild master, to fight. Since Roland publishes his builds, tactics, thoughts on battles, etc. on his private channel, he has nothing to hide.

He’s still the strongest with all his intel in the open. Guiltia, on the other hand, is a Unique Skill user. It would be better if she didn’t fight too openly.

“Well, that’s fine,” Roland said.

He’ll let her do what she wants, that’s just how his little sister is. So Roland thinks.

“Let’s go! Cover me!” Zecca said.

“Roger that, y’all, summoned beast call—Scapegoat!”

From the geometrical magic circle, a sheep monster like a giant ball of wool appears.

“Multiply and support Zekka-chan, y’all,” Kon said.

“Meeh,” Scapegoat went.

“Alright,” Zecca cried.

Zecca rushes into Giltia with the Scapegoats, armed with her Unique Equipment, Dead or Alive.

“Activate Skill, Rearm—-Bashoken Rasetsunyo into my hand!!” Guilta yelled.

Rearm lets her freely exchange equipment in her storage with her equipment slots even during battle. She held her fan-shaped sword in one hand and then swung it upwards.

“Guh—!?!” Zecca cried.

“What in the world?!” Kon cried.

Guilta just waved it lightly, and a tremendous gust of wind erupted, and Zecca and Kon were floored where they stood.

The Unique Equipment, Bashoken Rasetsunyo. Although it has no offensive capacity, it is a sword with infinite defensive power by keeping enemies away from you with powerful gusts of wind.

“What’s with those faces? That’s hilarious,” Gulitia sneered at the two on the ground. “What, did you really think you could win against me?”
