What Kind Of Newbie Are You?! They Said That “Summoner” Is A Terrible Job, Yet They Call Her The Last Boss - Chapter 52

“What is this?” Johann asked.

It’s Thursday, the 4th day of the Event. By the time Johann, who had to work overtime on the 2nd and 3rd days, managed to find time to log in, it was past 11:00 pm.

When Johann tries to enter the castle from the castle garden, she finds an unfamiliar monster at the lobby’s entrance.

“An ancient ruin?” Johann asked.

“… Stare,” the monster seems to go.

It was an eerie monster with a single biological eye attached to a gigantic wall that looked like a giant domino. It’s probably a summoned beast, but who the hell put this thing here?

“Hold… hold up a moment… what is this thing… why are you chasing me with your eye, please stop?” Johann whimpered.

The monster always stares at Johann as she tries to go around it and even once she’s behind it. Johann was a little teary-eyed from an unspeakable fear.

“Oh, Johann-san…! Long time no see, good evening…!” Zecca cheered.

“Good evening, Zekka-chan,” Johann said. “Um… what is this?” she asked, pointing at the black wall.

“This is a monster called Monolith. Kon-san set it up while singing ‘barricade, barricade♪’.”

“Did it help?” Johann asked.

“Not at all,” Zecca replied.

“Then it’s useless…?” Johann said.

The two went into the castle with that conversation. And while heading to the meeting room, they continued chatting.

“Come to think of it, Johann, you defeated a monster called Demon Prince Belial on the first day, didn’t you?” Zecca asked.

“… Ah,” Johann said. “Now that I think about it, I think I defeated it. Its skin plexion was bad, but it was a cute monster that felt like a handsome young boy.”

It was a massacre.

“By defeating that monster, a flag was raised and new monsters began to attack,” Zecca said.

“Huh……?” Johann said, stiffening.

Without thinking about it, she told herself, “It’s stress relief,” but she didn’t think Belial was such an important monster.

“Awawa…” Johann blubbered. “Did I do something wrong?”

“No, why are you scared? It’s okay. Rather nice, actually,” Zecca said.

“I see, that’s a relief,” Johann said, sighing. “So, what happens if you beat him?”

“The mother who was angry her son was killed es attacking next,” Zecca said.

“That’s scary,” Johann said.

Defeating Demon Prince Belial in the Random Raids raises a flag, and Demon Queen Belial-kaasan 1will participate in the next Regular Raid. It is said that when Belial-kaasan joins, she will strengthen the AI behavior of the other monsters and will initiate more plex strategies. However, in return, bonus rewards are applied to the Event Points from defeating monsters.

“The name is Belial-kaasan… wait, hu-uuh?!” Johann cried. “Is it okay if the attacking monsters’ AI gets better? Even though the summoned beasts over here have got shit AI…”

“It’s tough, but if we players are here, it’s it’s not much,” Zecca said. “However, Belial-kaasan runs away quickly, so I haven’t been able to defeat her yet. I think that if you defeat it, the next Unique Monster will appear.”

“Belial-toochan2, right?!”

“To call him ‘toosan’ doesn’t fit too well… maybe it’ll be something like Belial-oyaji! 3”

“That sounds interesting, yeah,” Johann said. “If we defeat the Belial Family like that, I wonder if I can get a Unique Item?”

Zecca shook her head. “No, there was an official announcement that Unique Equipment and Skills were not implemented for this event.

According to Zecca, these guild-scale events often have guilds peting for points.

But not this time. If that’s the case, it’s just an event where you don’t pete with anyone, earn points at your own pace, and exchange them for material items. Zecca said it was very unnatural.

“This is pletely my hypothesizing,” Zecca said. “I think this is just a rehearsal for the Guild Event in 3 weeks.”

“A rehearsal?” Johann asked.

“Yes. In other words, I think that the next Guild Battle will be a War-like event using the Guild Home system,” Zecca said.

In short, the developers were getting a sense of what to expect.

“Well, it’s all speculation,” Zecca said. “But if it’s okay to use the guild home, I think that Dragon Hina will be able to get pretty good results in this next guild event.

“Ufufu,” Johann chuckled. “We can’t pete because we don’t have many people… let’s take it easy and enjoy the guild petition.”

“Y-Yeah, we should…” Zecca said, her expression darkening.

Johann didn’t miss it. (I see. I’m sure Zecca-chan wants to win against those people… although I want her to win…)

After that, Johann was chatting with Zecca until 12 o’clock, but there was no random raid. Thus ends the 4th day.

Friday.

Kei arrives at the office in the morning and receives a message on LINE. 4

{Kouhai}: “I feel like I have a cold, so I will be absent from work today.”

{Aikawa}: “Understood. Also, please call the manager directly, not message me on LINE.”

It seems that her kouhai is taking a rest with a cold. While she was worried, Kei received another message from her kouhai.

{Kouhai}: “Koji? I’m at the station, but e on? Hurry up ♡”

Kei frowned and pressed her temples. After that, another LINE message quickly arrives.

{Kouhai}: “I’ll be in your debt for the rest of my life. Please don’t tell anyone.”

It seems that the intended recipient was wrong. It’s probably not a cold, it’s probably going out somewhere with a friend or boyfriend. Kei screenshots the chat history and leans against her seat’s backrest, wondering what to do next. At that time, an electric current runs through Kei.

“That girl’s absent today!?”

That means no shackles dragging her down.

“This is my chance. If I finish tomorrow’s work by the end of today, I won’t have to go to work tomorrow!” Kei said.

On this day, Kei became a demon of work. And then, she got Saturday off easily.
