We’re going to be fighting a monster called Behemoth.
I was originally enthusiastic about the event because I wanted the “Return Right,” but this one seems to be a tough opponent.
“They said they’ll give us rewards based on our contributions. But how do they measure contributions? If I heal and strengthen Souchan when he’s fighting, does that count as a contribution?”
“If anyone who participated in the fight is healed or strengthened by the abilities of Chiyu, it will be recognized as a contribution.”
Support roles will also be properly evaluated.
But I didn’t get a clear answer as to how exactly they would be evaluated or what kind of contribution would earn what kind of reward.
“If there are multiple people with the ‘Return Right’ in my line of sight, which one will you chase?” I ask after Chiyu.
“I will chase the one closest to me. If they are exactly the same distance away, one will be chosen at random.”
“What if there are two people with the ‘Return Right’ and one person, and they’re all at the same distance from me?”
“One will be chosen at random. If the distance changes during the chase, I will chase the closest one at that moment.”
In short, it will attack the one closest to me within its line of sight. That’s simple enough.
If you want to save your friends, you just need to get in the way.
Got a question. Chicken or beef, which one do we need for our future life?
As soon as this question ends, we’re immediately asked to choose between the two.
I want both, but I can’t manage it at this timing.
The number of votes is shown as the number of “correct” characters on the blackboard, but today the number of votes didn’t increase easily.
Everyone’s still in shock from the emergency event.
I understand their feelings, and this can be used to our advantage.
“This is a pattern where an event starts right after waking up, right? Then wouldn’t it be better to hold a strategy meeting while the voting drags on?”
Setsunaga seemed to have thought the same thing.
“Master, what shall we do?”
Loa, as the leader, looks to me for my opinion.
”…Alright. Since we’ll mainly be the ones fighting, let’s split up. One group will fight Behemoth, and the other will guide the other classmates to safety.”
The teacher looks relieved at my words.
As a teacher, she must have been worried about her students’ safety.
“Shouko, please summon a fluffy griffin. We’ll use the griffin and the microns to carry the fighters and attack the Behemoth from the air.”
If she could summon the candidates for summoned beasts that she had talked about in the library during this event, it would be a great help. Griffins can fly. “Okay! Let’s do it!”
Shouko posed with her thin arms flexed.
Unfortunately, no muscles bulged out on her beautiful arms.
“I’ll be the fighter, with Professors Deep Magic for elemental magic, Lumina for light magic, and Senyume for healing and strengthening. The rest of you should go around with Mashiro and reassure the classmates. Especially the non-fighters, please convince them not to approach the combat team.”
Although they had become more rational thanks to Senyume’s calming and our provision of supplies, they might underestimate the Behemoth and try to get a hit for the reward.
If they died, they would receive a ‘100-point’ penalty.
“I understand. We already know where the classmates are, so we’ll draw the Behemoth away from there.”
“It was partly because of the teacher’s words… I’ll do my best to protect everyone!” “Mm. No one will die.”
“As expected of you, Sousuke. The Behemoth can break the barrier, but we can’t just sit here and do nothing. We can use it to hide from the enemy or as a wall even if it breaks. I’ll definitely be useful.”
All the fighters nodded enthusiastically.
Fighting a giant monster must be terrifying, but you’re brave.
“Genjuu, transform into a Phantom Beast and help the others. Shion and Roa and Minato, I want you to stay with Mashiro and the others.”
Shion’s cooking and ability to see through lies, Roa’s efficient maid skills and ability to discern what’s wanted, and Minato’s cheerfulness and ability to be pulled into things are wonderful, but they’re not suited for this event. “Y-Yeah! I’ll do my best!”
“That’s right. We probably won’t be able to help in the fight, so we’ll stay back. Everyone, please be careful.” “Good luck to you all.”
“Ugh, please be careful…!”
For now, we agreed on everyone’s movements. The next step is to come up with a concrete strategy.
Still, the basic idea is to wear down the monster with attack spells.
“Don’t worry, we can take it down.”
As the leader, I shouldn’t show any signs of doubt.
Besides, it’s not entirely a lie. I’m nervous, but not hopeless.
Maybe my confidence comes from the experiences of the past days and events.
After that, we continued to discuss several plans, occasionally asking questions about the mystery blackboard.
「But, aren’t you going to join Reika’s party too?」 The summoner’s words made me chuckle.
Reika has a team of members who can fight too.
Considering the rewards, it’s possible that they’ll join.
「It’s possible… Chiyu, I’m sorry, but if they do.」
「I understand. I’ll put buffs and healing on them too.」
The Behemoth is just an event target for all classmates.
It’s not just for us.
So they have the right to fight, and there’s a chance they’ll show up. 「Please.」
After discussing various things, including Reika’s team, the voting results came in.
‘As the majority has been exceeded, the voting will be closed.’
‘From the twelfth day, “beef” will be placed in the environment.
Please note that it will be “cattle” that will be placed, not beef itself.’ Cattle, huh.
Since it’s beef, I guess we can’t get milk from it.
To enjoy the beef, the first step is to fight a Behemoth. “Twelfth day begins.” The screen turns white again.
When I wake up from this dream, the third event will start.
