T/N: The chapter is from Zeccas POV.

In this deadly battle with the Pirate King… for some reason, I remembered something that happened long ago.

“Hey, hey, its so cool, isnt it! The PV 1 we saw yesterday.

That game… it looks so much fun!”

“Right, right! They must have spent so much money, didnt they The quality is so amazing!”

I started playing GOO about a year ago.

We were friends in the same class, Miyu, Kiriko, and me, so thanks to that commercial, we all created characters together.

They were Zecca, Mew, and Guiltia, respectively, and we then started playing GOO together.

“I want to be a summoner~!” Mew said.

“I say you shouldnt,” Guiltia said.

“Sabers more stable.

Arent you going to be a Saber too, Zecca”

“Yeah,” I said.

“There seems to be dual wielding for it, so thats what Im aiming for.”

“Come on, you should be a Saber too, Mew.

Like my brother said, even a beginner can easily become strong as a Saber.”

“Muu~,” Mew grumbled.

I think we were really enjoying GOO at the time.

And so our first month started.

When the guild function was added, we formed a guild limited to Sabers, the Swords of the Farthest Reach.

We brought in Roland-san, Guiltias older brother in real life, we asked him to mentor us, and we made names for ourselves.

Our numbers gradually rose and 3 months after the start of the games service, the first Guild Battle was held.

I honestly thought we were going to win.

However, the composition of all Sabers is unbalanced.

Even Sabers who could win in the Ranking Events where no one could form teams, would not get very good results in Guild Battles where each individual had to play their role and fight as a group.

“Thats why… if you quit dual wielding and fight like my brother, we can win,” Guiltia said.

“No way,” I said.

“Im playing this game because I want to dual wield.

Besides, I recently got this Unique Equipment, Dead Or Alive.”

“That kind of worthless bargaining will get us nowhere,” Guiltia said.

“Theres no point if we dont win!”

“Th-The both of you… you shouldnt fight…” Mew said.

“Shut up, Mew,” I said.

“Geeze, Mew,” Gulitia said.

“When will you get your act together! Its your fault our guild cant win, isnt it!”

“…… Sorry,” Mew said.

Guiltia wants to make our guild the strongest no matter what.

I was aiming to be the strongest in my own way.

Mew just wanted to have fun playing with the three of us together.

It didnt take long for our friendship to fall apart.

“I was… it was fun.

It should have been fun…” Mew said.

“But playing this game… its so hard now.

That was the last day Mew ever logged in.

While that girl was crying, she kept saying over and over again that she was sorry.

“I really wanted to become a Summoner… I wanted to play with cute summoned beasts.”

And with that, Mew deleted her account.

And after that:

“Hey, Guiltia… what the hell is this” I asked.

“What is it, Zecca” Guiltia asked.

“The new guild members… theyre all celebrities, but theyre not Sabers, are they The Swords of the Farthest Reach should be a Saber-only guild, right”

“That is exactly why were struggling to win,” Guiltia said.

“For us to win the next battle, we need to balance ourselves.”

Guiltia recruited famous solo players from other Jobs into the guild.

I also had the exact same equipment as Roland-san and began to fight in exactly the same way as him.

Thanks to that, we were able to win the position of the strongest in the 2nd ever Guild Battle.

“We did it, Zecca!” Guiltia said.

“Our guild has become the strongest! Ah, geeze.

It would have been great if Mew was here too! I wonder why she ever left”

She was happy.

But:

“Im not happy…” I said.

If you do this, you will win.

The victory we had won followed that strict rail.

I couldnt find the worth in the victory we achieved by driving away one of our best friends.

“This place is… its not our guild anymore,” I said.

“Wait, Zecca… what are you dissatisfied about!” Guiltia said.

“Our purpose was to become the strongest together! Wait… hold on, please wait!”

I quit the Swords of the Farthest Reach to escape.

After that, the guild continues to be one of the strongest in the game.

In addition, the Summoner Job has been greatly weakened, making it all but unbeatable.

Where did I go wrong Is it because I was so particular about us all being Sabers If Mew had been a Summoner like she wanted, she would have been able to lead the Pulelehuas and contribute to our guilds victory.

Or what if we…

Or what if we…

There are only infinite regrets of, “What if I had done that then” And then, one day:

“Oh Come on, Ill teach you some manners.”

I saw an infamous bad player getting involved with a newbie woman.

“But playing this game has become so hard now…”

My crying friends face came to mind.

I couldnt bear to see someone make that face anymore.

I didnt like the fact that more and more people started to dislike this fun game.

So, I raised my voice.

“Stop that at once!”

I met Johann-san then, then found out she was a Summoner like Mew wanted to be.

Nearly 2 weeks after her start, the Ranking Event went crazy because of her.

To be honest, her skill at this game wasnt good enough.

Even so, that persons love for summoned beasts alone makes her infinitely stronger and more ridiculous.

When I see Johann-san like that, I always remember Mew.

Because that was the Mew we crushed, the Mew she could have been.

Its the Pirate King Event.

The metallic sound of swords striking each other echoes in the underground lake.

“HAAAAAAAA—DUAL EDGE!”

“GEHAHAHAHA!”

Zecca fights with shining angel and devil wing effects.

However, the boss monsters AI was too advanced, Zeccas attacks did not work at all.

“Haa-haa-haa-haa,” Zecca panted.

Its a hopeless situation that makes everyone wants to cover their eyes.

But Zecca didnt give up.

Looters End activates when the Pirate Kings HP is reduced by a certain amount.

If she can recover Johanns Chaos Apocalypse set and her summoning stones with that, they can definitely win.

The odds are very low, but betting on this is the only way to get everyones valuable items back.

“Gehahahahaha—Slash.”

“Shit.”

However, from fatigue, Zecca made a mistake, the enemy charged and hits her.

“Luminous Eternal!!”

A magic circle spreads across the underground lake, giving the player Invincibility for 10 seconds.

“Remma-chan!” Zecca cried.

“… I can use my Skills even without equipment…” Remma said.

“Ill do what I can… I wont give up yet.”

“Nice…!” Zecca cried.

She takes advantage of that opportunity to attack the Pirate King.

“I-I can do something… to help, too,” Johann said, still unable to recover from the shock.

Then, Remma shouts at her: “… Onee-chan, stay still! Right now, Zecca is desperately fighting to get back your equipment.”

“We have to get back the Chaos Apocalypse set and your summoning stones…” Zecca said.

“Johann-san will be the one to defeat this guy.”

“… Thats the only play left for us… lets go, Zecca—Magic Heal.”

Remma sends Zecca all the healing and support she can.

Zecca gets it and chips pieces off the enemys HP.

Chip.

Chip.

Chip.

The way she challenged the Pirate King alone was just like a demi-god.

(If we lose this match and have everything taken away…Renma-chan and Johann-san will surely quit GOO…) Zecca thought.

“Playing this game has become so hard.”

“… I hate it…” Zecca whispered.

“I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

I dont want to hear it anymore!”

(I dont want to lose… any more of my friends… when they play games with me!!) Zecca cried.

“Gehaha… I like that treasure.

All Steal!!”

(… Its here.

This moment is the chance Ive been looking for!) Zecca thought.

“Holy Knights Earrings has been moved to Pirate King Bandits Item Storage.”

“Phantom Mirage has been moved to Pirate King Bandits Item Storage.”

A tornado effect appears from under her feet, and Zeccas head and body equipment disappear.

But.

Zecca noticed.

When she saw this skill earlier.

The Pirate King deliberately kept his distance from Zecca and then activated it.

For just a moment when this Skill is used, the Pirate King creates an opportunity.

Zecca holds her sword crosswise.

“Eat **, monster—GRAND CROSS!!”

“GUAAAAHAHHHHH!”

“Dead Or Alive has been moved to Pirate King Bandits Item Storage.”

“Phantom Boots has been moved to Pirate King Bandits Item Storage.”

“‘Black Coat has been moved to Pirate King Bandits Item Storage.”

Just before Dead or Alive disappears.

The strongest dual-sword attack Skill hits the Pirate King directly, greatly reducing his HP.

“The Pirate Kings SkillLooters End has been Activated.”

“I did it… now please… please god!” Zecca whispered.

Zecca has lost all her equipment.

However, the operation went well.

As expected, items dropped from the Pirate Kings body.

However:

“Only… 2”

The Pirate King dropped only 2 items.

Zeccas expression turns pale.

Zecca suddenly thought: more than 800 items were taken at first.

So if enemies drop it via a Skill, they should drop a lot.

No, she thought that was the purpose of this raid.

They will work together to reduce the Pirate Kings HP, make him spit out the stolen items, and rebuild their strength.

She thought it was a raid battle with that kind of design.

But that was only a hopeful hypothesis.

“… We cant win,” Zecca thought.

“They dont want us to win…”

With her mind blank, Zecca stands still.

The Pirate King did not let the opportunity pass.

“Gehahahaha――Aqua Slash!!”

A sword covered in water currents swings down.

As Zecca closed her eyes, someone tackled her.

“Guaaaaaaaaa!”

“Remma-chan!”

It was Remma, who had already run out of MP, and saved Zecca.

Remmas HP drops to 0 after the attack, and her body turns into particles and disappears.

“Cry later, Zecca… for Onee-chans… items,” Remma said as she faded.

“Yeah… thats right… youre right,” Zecca said, smiling.

“… Its okay, Zecca-onee-chan.

Even if I lose…I wont quit…Ill be with everyone forever,” Remma said.

“Anything would be fine… something to turn the tide… this is it!” Zecca cried.

Her eyes widened as she examined the items the Pirate King dropped.

Among them was a material called Scrap Iron.

And the other was a summoning stone.

A toy-shaped summoning stone resembling an egg.

The item that caused Zecca and Johann to deepen their relationship.

“Hinadoras summoning stone…” Zecca thought.

It was it.

Its also a sign for them to despair.

Its impossible for Hinadora to turn this around by itself.

“This must be fate! After 20 years, Johan-sans partner has returned via GOO (which is short for Genesis Omega Online)!”

“Im sorry I couldnt protect you then.”

“Mokyu” Hinadora went.

“Its nothing…Im just glad to see you again,”

However, in Zeccas mind, the events of the day she met Johann and Hinadora for the first time came to mind.

“Thank goodness… I at least… got this one back…”

Even if they lose as they are now.

Zecca was able to get back Johanns beloved treasure.

“Johann-san… CATCH!”

Zecca hurls Hinadoras summoning stone at Johann.

The Pirate Kings saber pierced the defenseless Zeccas back.

Her HP dropped to 0 in an instant, and Zeccas body disappeared.

“Gehahahahahahaha!”

“Kuh… I dont even have a chance to use the summoning stone,” Johann said.

The Pirate King relentlessly attacks Johann.

With her Agility status no better than a fresh character, she cant do anything to avoid it.

It was necessary to learn your opponents attack patterns, anticipate the animations and warning signs, and then dodge it.

(Endure… have to endure,) Johann thought.

(Hinadora is the one hope left by Zecca-chan and the others… if I endure, we will definitely get a chance.)

However.

“……Ah”

Johan stumbled on a rock.

The Pirate King will not let the moment pass.

He moves right in front of Johann.

And then, he brandishes his saber and brings it down.

(Its all over…) Johann thought.

And just then:

“Dance Of The Immortal Butterfly!!”

The glowing butterfly effect of the Phantom Butterfly Forest envelops Johann and protects her, it interferes with the Pirate Kings attack.

The flees from the madly dancing butterflies like he was afraid of them.

As Johann looks in the direction of the voice, there was the strongest summoned beast, Pulelehua…

“Its you…!” Johann cried.

“Its been a day and a half, Maou-han… and Ive come to rescue yall.”

It was Kon, the Summoner she met at the Phantom Butterfly Forest.
