I Became the Youngest Summoner in the Strongest Guild

51. Arcana Online

51. Arcana Online

The girl with a reddened face was earnestly petting the warbear she was holding in her arms.

Judge Nia.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay. These things happen."

When I sympathized, saying it couldn't be helped because our warbear was cute, she nodded.

Indeed, cute things are the best in the world.

But why are her fangs so sharp?

"Your fangs are really big?"

"It's because I'm of the Night Clan."

"What? The Night Clan?"

What's the Night Clan...

"Kyuung!"

"Ah... Vampire? That, that, what was it. The race that hates garlic and fears crosses?"

"It's not quite like that..."

When I took out garlic bread from my inventory and offered it because the plate was empty, she frowned.

She does dislike it...?

"I'd appreciate your cooperation with the investigation."

"Of course!"

As I was curiously watching her while earnestly petting the warbear, wondering by what criteria she would conduct the investigation, she wasn't doing anything?

Her hands were moving diligently though.

As she was petting the warbear with a blank expression for a while, I wondered when the investigation would start...

"When will you start the investigation?"

"I plan to investigate while living with Traveler Yuna for about a month from now."

"A month!?"

"I'll be in your care."

Aren't you being too confident?

Well, I guess it doesn't matter if we have one more mouth to feed.

"Then I'll be in your care for a month!"

"I'll be in your care."

"What? A judge? What's that?"

"I... I don't know either... Please save me..."

When I explained what happened today to Rea unni, who was helping me stretch by pressing my back from behind, she said she didn't know either.

"I didn't know there were beings dispatched when anomalies occur. The operation team has never intervened before."

"And she introduced herself as part of the Night Clan, so she's a vampire, right?"

"N-Night Clan!?"

A startled tone.

After finishing the stretching, I continued the conversation while drinking a glass of warm milk.

"We once invaded the Night Clan's castle during an event."

At that time, numerous players flocked there along with the top 10 guilds.

The result was the players' defeat.

A complete defeat, at that.

"We only met one member of the Night Clan then. And it wasn't even a True Ancestor, just a regular vampire."

True Ancestor

Meaning the true progenitor, those who were vampires from the beginning.

Regular vampires are those created by True Ancestors, while True Ancestors are beings born as vampires.

The method of distinguishing them is simple.

If they have silver hair and red eyes, they're True Ancestors.

All others have different hair and eye colors.

Then the judge who came to me is a True Ancestor.

"A True Ancestor came."

With those words, I patted Rea unni's back as she was coughing, having choked, and her pupils shook.

"B-be careful! The Night Clan is a truly dangerous race! Especially a True Ancestor..."

"It's okay. There must be a way."

As I was drinking a glass of warm milk, Rea unni looked at me intently.

"Um, it's a bit awkward to say this, but there's something I want to ask."

I looked at Rea unni, who spoke in a serious voice, and she looked at me with a determined expression.

"You know that what you're doing now is causing harm to many players enjoying Arcana Online, right...?"

In a game where you hunt monsters, my actions of talking about monster rights, building a city, and gathering them in one place can't be seen positively by other players.

After thinking for a while, this is the conclusion I came to.

"I don't intend to interfere with players' hunting. But the children who have come into my arms are already family. I will protect them."

Arcana Online is vast.

Even just the currently revealed continent has numerous monsters and races living in it.

Among them, of course, there are races that attack humans first.

"I don't intend to interfere with what happens outside my territory. So you don't need to worry."

"That's a relief."

Rea unni said she was worried about what would happen if I suddenly declared war on all countries and players.

If I hadn't obtained the 'Shrink!' skill...

"Th-there's no way that would happen, right...?"

"Why are you stuttering?"

"Ahaha! The milk is delicious!"

As she looked at me suspiciously, I avoided her gaze while sweating.

I, I know nothing about this.

At that moment, a brilliant idea occurred to me.

Cuteness is justice.

What if monsters that used to attack or couldn't even be approached now act cute in adorable forms?

"I've had a great idea!"

"Huh? What idea?"

When I explained my thoughts, Rea unni pondered for a while and then spoke positively.

"That's not bad. If we market it as an event city for visiting players..."

Like cat cafes or dog cafes, cute creatures showing affection to you...?

This could work.

Then we can somewhat resolve the negative perception players currently have, and it won't look bad to the administrators either.

"I need to implement this right away!"

"Then the guild will help with promotion."

"Really!? Thank you, Rea unni!"

"But there's a condition."

She's smiling mischievously, what kind of condition could it be...?

[Did you know that the Golden City of Eldorado, one of the 7 Magic Realms, has changed into an event city?]

When you visit, incredibly cute creatures welcome you. I nearly had a heart attack. You guys should definitely go once.

- What does this mean?

- What did it change into?

- Is it a pet cafe? lol

- So how cute are they?

[You're missing out on life if you don't visit while playing Arcana Online (photo)]

Can you see the photo? These cute creatures welcome you! With affection, no less! I think I'm going to die...

- Where is this?

- [Author] The Golden City of Eldorado!

- Change the name to the City of Cuteness lol

- Wow, they're cute...

[Eldorado City Tour Report (photo)]

As soon as you enter, cute creatures welcome you. This place is heaven! I want to live here if possible, but the overnight fee is incredibly expensive... Oh! Look over there! The cute creatures are having a parade...

- That fox-like one is so cute!!

- There's a bear next to it too!?

- There are dragon-like ones too!!

The Golden City of Eldorado is heating up the community.

The number of players flocking to the city is increasing day by day.

When you pay the entrance fee and go inside, one mascot follows each player.

They're randomly assigned at the entrance, but you can choose the mascot you want if you pay an additional fee.

The assigned mascot can guide you or you can spend leisurely time eating snacks together.

Physical contact is also possible, but that's a paid service.

"Let me do just one belly rub!"

"Kyang!"

The warbear hands a menu to the player.

"100,000 gold!?"

The fees are expensive, but 98 out of 100 people are satisfied.

However, the saying that out of every 5 people, 1 is trash isn't for nothing.

"What kind of service is this!? Tell the manager to come out!"

When troublemakers appear, the Silver Fox Clan deals with them.

Of course, by force.

The only rule that exists in the Golden City of Eldorado.

[Let's all get along well.]

There are no exceptions.

Even if you boast about being from a top 10 guild, the Silver Fox Clan doesn't listen and drags you out or forces you to log out.

And this content is notified before entry.

"Kyuuung!"

"Right. They're working hard."

At first, a few monsters dealt with players as a trial operation, but day by day, more monsters are volunteering.

When I proposed the condition of converting all their earnings into magic stones, the warbear family started working the hardest.

"Indeed, money talks."

"Kyuuung."

Our Yong-yong is looking with disdainful eyes, asking how old they are to be acting cute to humans.

I decided not to say anything.

Then I hear a knock.

"Come in."

The Silver Fox Clan twin sister Rang entered.

"Here's this week's report."

"Thank you."

As I check the documents, they're earning this much...?

They're earning enough to make your eyes pop out every day.

Everyone's really serious about cuteness...?

The scenery spread out beyond the window.

Both monsters and players are all smiling happily.
