The D-Rank Guild Master of the No. 1 Guild-Chapter 45

"I had the last trump move, but I didn't have to do it because Erkata had awakened..."

'Rudel, I have been lacking in faith until now'

"Rudel may be a high-level being that we don't dare to judge."

'?do ha ha ha ha arise religion'

Even though the game is down, the homepage is noisier than ever.

As a result, the management team eventually withdrew the permanent deletion of Erkata and reversed course to add her as the last high-ranking character.

To the delight of users, the unstable system restoration work was completed in a short time.

Not only Canhar, but also Kanel and Lyrit followed and watched as she laid her down in Unhar's room.

"I'd like to watch Erkata alone for a while, can you all leave? Please."

At that, both Canel and Lyrit went straight outside, but only Canhar flinched and acted unwillingly.

"This is my room......."

"Was it a red flag? I'm sorry. Why don't you stay in my room instead?"

I looked at his face and asked, and he left the room unexpectedly and obediently.

"But until earlier, he had objected to it, saying that men and women were different, and when I told him to go to my room, he would go again. What the hell are the criteria?'

I do not understand....... My head doesn't work well because I'm worried about the erkata.

I dragged a chair and placed it next to the bed, just as I was about to look into the erkata, my eyes suddenly met the full-length mirror in the corner of the room.

The fairest complexion I've ever seen.

In front of the guild members, it was a look he had been hiding the whole time.

"Realistically, an emergency inspection is probably underway by now.......

The existence of a character named Acata had such an impact.

Just by having this buggy character, GMs may try to intervene in our guild's affairs and uncover the problem.

It means that there may be no point in me going through all that trouble to bring her in.

What should I do at this moment? Is there any other way but to be prepared for anything?

…… helpless and incompetent.

Only now do I realize that I was just such an insignificant being.

I poked him on the cheek of the sleeping boy. Still no response.

"Erkata."

I called out loud and shook my shoulders, but she didn't move like a doll.

'Maybe the inability to wake up has something to do with the game's studio?'

It can only be said that the company's programmers manipulated the time of the Erkata until they decided what to do with it.

Can we call this life?

By neglecting the highly sophisticated characters created by the elements, an unpredictable narrative is created naturally.

However, when this happens, the management team actively intervenes.

But that's not all.

The game has been translated into many countries around the world, so its audience is spread all over the world.

Their voices are loud and energetic, and the management team listens to the opinions of users.

If I make a mistake, the fans can turn around. Like a celebrity who was kicked out of the top into the abyss in an instant.

If that happens, developers might approach your character and "delete" it.

'Then I'm going to die. Even if I could recover it, it wouldn't be me anymore.'

The thought dragged on, and I could only sigh. At that moment, I felt a presence behind me.

I glanced back and saw a familiar silver hair fluttering through the crack in the open door.

He grinned and stretched out his hand.

"Come on in, Lilit."

The chair was too small for the two of us to sit on, so I put her on my lap.

He stretched out his arms from behind and hugged her. Lilit squeezed my hand.

"Were you worried about me?"

Lilit looked back and saw moistened eyes. She nodded vigorously.

But her gaze wasn't just on me, but on the boy on the bed.

"Aren't you worried about Erkata?"

What am I going to do with this good girl?

The other kids just looked down on the erkata I had brought with them or felt awkward.

However, Lirit carries this child in her heart just because "Rudel brought her."

In fact, it won't be easy.

A smart Kanel or Canal would have noticed it when they only heard the announcement of the suspension of the 1.5 rounds.

This is the first time that the so-called broadcaster, the system, has been so deeply involved in the game.

'Considering the impact of the game announcements on us, you know it's going to be a disadvantage to our personal safety.'

But Li Rit isn't that smart, and I don't think he would have cared much if he had noticed.

She still doesn't mind lending, and she would have helped the sick Urkata.

"Lirith, do you want to watch the Erkata alone for a while?"

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to take a moment to see if the other kids are doing."

I'm still a long way off.

As a guild leader, you should be able to relieve the anxiety of other guild members and guide them in any situation.

I left them alone the whole time in my confusedness.

First, I went outside and went to the nearest Cannell room.

'I don't think so.'

The door was locked, and there was no answer when I rang the pager that served as the doorbell.

'And what about Gio in the next room.......

I pushed the door open and it slid open. Even though it has a locking function, you still have it open.

I'm already asleep, so pass.

Next, I went to the canal in my room.

"Canal?"

I didn't seem to have an answer, so I just opened the door wide.

Unhar refused to let her lie on the bed in my room, saying that she was a boy.

I'm sleeping soundly on the bed in my room as a woman.

When I saw that, I felt something strange. I felt like I was missing something.

In fact, wasn't it an excuse to say no because he's a boy? Was it just that the very existence of the Erkata was gritty and that he was wary of it from the beginning?

Besides, why are you sleeping with your face buried in your pillow so suffocating? The more I look at it, the more mysterious it becomes.

Finally to find a canel in the room for the pension...... No, I searched every nook and cranny of the fortress.

Not in the living room, not in the study, not in the arcade.

'Are you in the training room......

As I descended the basement stairs, I heard the man's heavy breathing reach the entrance.

A few more steps down, I saw Cannell with his upper body off, concentrating on his workout.

I could see my chest muscles tightened by hellish training and my broad shoulders.

I covered my mouth with my hand and couldn't hold back my emotion as I approached Cannell on the exercise machine.

"You're a great guild member."

“……? Thank you for the compliment."

Even in such a messy situation, I was doing exercises that I wasn't asked to do and raising my stats!

Cannell thought he was unkempt in front of the guild leader, so he got up on the gym equipment and put on the T-shirt he had taken off.

"No, I just did what I was doing, I was just patrolling for a while. You look good, so that's fine."

"Why can't I be okay?"

I wonder if Canel was in 'on' mode of thinking, but he caught the pod in my words.

"Are you worried about whether we're okay? Thank you, but the fact that you're so concerned about us means that you, Rudel, are also in a state of frustration, right?"

Carnell wiped her sweaty face with a towel before revealing her face again.

"Don't worry too much. Of course, our guild may be penalized for him, but it's not too late to worry about it after the results are announced."

After all, you have a very similar thinking pattern to me. Bold and rational.

But not like me.

You really don't know what to worry about.

You have no idea why you're playing this game, who is forcing it, or what your true identity is.

…… Because that's the setting.

So no matter how much they looked like me and how smart they were, they couldn't make me feel the same way.

Perhaps noticing my dark expression, Cannell lowered her head deep into her eye level with me.

A black pupil that didn't hold a single light stared directly at me.

"Did I answer wrong?"

At this moment, an electronic sound of "beep-" reverberated from all the speakers in the fort.

[We will announce the announcement of Round 1.5.]

I gestured in front of Carnell, listening carefully to make sure I didn't miss a word.

[First, let me explain why round 1.5 was suspended.

As you've seen with the effects of the 'Camcorder' item, Participant 500 Acata has awakened his Trait abilities.

This resulted in the elimination of two of the lower players, and Erkata was even promoted to the top player.]

In reality, they would have announced that Acata was a bug and that they would check the system and fix it, but that's an outside story.

We're game characters, so we need to talk about things differently.

And this was the conclusion reached by the management.

[However, please note that this is not an error.

Contestant No. 500 Akata is actually the only hidden player in round 1.5, and whoever wins him gets a new top player.]

At the new title given to Bug Yin Erkata, I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

[As of this time, we are officially announcing that Erkata is an official player of the Rudel Guild.]
