The Unimplemented Last Boss is my Friend

uld be perfect.] – that’s what Alba thought before he asked the next question.

“I’d like you to give it a try, is it possible to set the target as a monster, and detect it?”

Misaki then switched her focus to search a mob.

Then a series of small red dots appeared mainly outside the city and began to move.

“I can see them.
The coordinates start from the nearest is–“

“No, no, no.
No need to specify the coordinates right now!”

After stopping Misaki from diligently answering the exact coordinates, Flame turned her attention to Wataru.
And Wataru nodded.

Wataru lowered his head and said,

“Misaki, I know this is a troublesome request, but when you are free, could you please search the outside of the castle wall and report back to me? Of course, I will pay you for each search.”

“What? Wait, please raise your head!”

Misaki was surprised and urged him to raise his head.

“Did you know? I feel indebted to everyone at the Monshou for saving us that day, and I know that even now, they are working desperately to protect us — if it’s okay for someone like me to lend a hand, then please let me do so!”

Flame was more than thrilled by these words.

She jumped up from her seat and embraced Misaki with such a passionate embrace one would give to a dear younger sister.

“Thank you! If Misaki join us, it’s like we got a hundred manpower!”

“That’s the best outcome them, but ….*cough*.”

Watching the two women embrace, Alba clears his throat with one cough and asks a question.

“I apologize for being so hurried.
But can you look for any signs of the invasion right now?”

“What is the sign of the invasion…?”

Misaki, who appears to have already used life-sensing, asks Alba with a look that suggests she has no idea what he’s talking about.

“It’s a situation where there are at least ten monsters gathered together.
That’s one sign of an invasion.”

Because if it is only a gathering of ten or so monsters, they can annihilate them before they become a threat, thus removing the threat of invasion.

Misaki understood his explanation and groaned, “hmm……,” shifting her focus away from the surrounding grasslands and toward the Irina Tunnel, where she discovered what Alba was looking for.

“There is a sign of it coming from Iriana Tunnel.”

“!”

Misaki muttered to herself.

Hearing this, the three looked at each other.

Immediately, Alba copied a map of the Iriana Tunnel and emailed it to Misaki.

Misaki had never been out of the city, so her map had not been [discovered] the place yet.
Therefore, Alba assumed that she did not have detailed information on the topography of the tunnels.

Originally, a copy of this map would have been worth more than 100,000 gold, but that was no longer the case in this situation.

“If you copy my map, you can see the topography.
So, where are they? How many?”

“Alba! Calm down!”

Flame hurriedly stops Alba as she approaches Misaki with a devil-may-care attitude.
Misaki did as she was told and copied Alba’s map to overwrite on her own, and the part she could not see became clear as if the fog had lifted.

“The coordinates are x:706, y:-525, z:8.”

She read out the coordinates as if muttering to herself.

The three moved their maps to the coordinates and arrived at the empty, open space.

“So, what’s the number?”

“I don’t know.
There are too many of them.”

Then the three of them froze.

Alba, in particular, was thinking about the 17th Unit.

Iriana Tunnel is a natural labyrinth, it’s a place where even the most seasoned hunters would get lost if they didn’t have a map, a place where seasoned players would not even dare to hunt small fry mobs.

And there is a chance that the invasion that occurred at the Iriana Tunnel will reach Aristolas.
It is entirely possible.

Now it’s Wataru’s turn to ask with a serious expression on his face.

“Do you know the approximate number?”

“Umm, about a hundred, I guess.”

An invasion of 100 mobs.

The castle walls could be easily breached depending on the strength of the monsters in the crowd.

“A different threat than PK huh? But thanks to you, Misaki, we can make the first move.
Once again, thank you so much.”

With that, Alba got up and left the Adventurers’ Guild, saying, “The situation is urgent.
I’m going to check the details of the mob”.

Following Alba, Flame also started to move.

“Misaki, when this is over, I’ll make sure you get a proper reward! Thank you so much!”

Flame leaves the guild in a hurry.

An email glowed at the edge of Misaki’s vision, and when she opened it, she saw that Flame had sent her 100,000 gold.

“Wa-wait! Please Guild Master! I can’t take this!”

While looking upset, Misaki showed the email to Wataru, who was about to get up from his seat to follow the two.

100,000 gold is a decent amount of money in modern Japan, but in [Eternity], a game that has now turned into a death game, the value has become something directly related to one’s life.

To put it another way, 100,000 gold is roughly equivalent to 2,000 days of lodging.

Wataru scratched his cheeks and then decided to stop his roundabout way of talking, believing that this intelligent woman would understand.

“This may appear insensitive, but your skills are extremely valuable.
100,000 gold isn’t much.
You’ve been happy to share your abilities, which are your lifeline here at Eternity.
And because of your willingness to share, your skills have become the lifeblood of our community.
We intend to express our appreciation in the form of a reward.”

Judging by the way he said it, he was referring that the compensation is for Misaki’s willingness to share her skill rather than the skill itself.
But Misaki didn’t seem particularly concerned about that.

“No, no, no! This is still too much!”

Misaki was flustered, to which Wataru responded with a calm smile.

“Misaki, the invasion you found this time is quite large, but it is still in the growth process.
If we had left it unnoticed, we would have perished together with Aristolas in the worst-case scenario against a mature invasion.
When you consider that we could save the lives of nearly 350,000 people, 100,000 gold is the one that is out of balance.”

“350,000 lives…”

Misaki becomes quiet as if her fire is extinguished.

There’s a reason for Wataru to say that the invasion was still in its growing process.
It can be explained by the fact that the invasion is still contained within the Iriana Tunnel – which means that the resources are not so scarce that they need to attack human villages.

In contrast, nothing good will come from this type of invasion because it will continue to expand its power, but because Wataru is on the side that managed to obtain information ahead of time, they could form a strike force to launch an attack on the invader.
The invaders, on the other hand, won’t have time to prepare for it.

As usual, the side that makes the first move will always has an overwhelming advantage.

“And, although I’m a little nervous, I think this is an opportunity.
If we can overcome this adversity, we will gain something more than just stopping an invasion.”

Misaki had no idea what he was talking about, but she was fascinated by how this young man could be so dependable.
– it was a vague feeling yet strong feeling, but she had a firm believe that he would be able to do something.
