"clear."
Kiyono Makoto extended his right hand toward his senior, took a deep breath, and then shouted:
"Kasumigaoka Utaha, be my daughter!"
(I'm going out on a date tonight, so I updated at noon...)
Chapter 15 Junior, please continue to guide me in the future.
"...Kasumigaoka Utaha, be my daughter!"
Kiyono Makoto extended his right hand towards his senior.
Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes, her beautiful wine-red eyes filled with a warning of 'I'll trust you one last time.' She bit her lower lip lightly and whispered:
"...Adosan."
With the senior student responding, the ceremony was finally completed.
next second.
The contract scroll moved automatically without wind, floating into the air. Then, as if an invisible flaming pen had appeared, it wrote the name of Kasumigaoka Utaha on the scroll.
hum~
The park's cold, ruthless voice echoed in Kiyono Makoto's mind:
Congratulations! You have recruited your first full-time crew member.
[The team's public communication channel and public storage space are now open. Please note that each use of the team communication channel requires a certain amount of points.]
As the captain, you receive an additional 10% bonus to that crew member's maximum attribute.
Kiyono Makoto curiously opened the character panel and quickly discovered that all of his attributes had improved slightly, with the mental attribute showing the most significant improvement.
"Is your strongest attribute, senior? Mental strength?"
"That makes perfect sense."
"After all, she's a literary girl who writes romance light novels."
[Team skills are not unlocked. Do you want to pay 1000 points to unlock them?]
"Tsk~"
Kiyono Makoto clicked his tongue inwardly, then silently recited:
"Unlocked for now."
Just as players complained on the forum, there are never enough points, and the amusement park will squeeze you dry in all sorts of ways.
He's completely broke, not a single penny left, and has no points to unlock the game.
"Senior, have you received the team notification?"
Kiyono Makoto closed the character panel and looked up at the girl with long, straight black hair.
"received."
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly, the wariness and aloofness in her eyes finally disappearing, and a playful expression returned to her pretty face:
"In the end, I still got on my junior's pirate ship."
Hey, what does "pirate ship" mean?
Don't slander someone's innocence!
Kiyono Makoto said expressionlessly, "If you don't like it, you can get off the ship."
Kasumigaoka Utaha feigned shock upon hearing this: "What? Junior-kun actually wants to abandon his own daughter?"
Kiyono Makoto slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to resist making a sarcastic remark:
"I never realized before that my senior's integrity was so unfathomable."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips:
"Compared to survival, integrity is not important at all."
"..."
After a brief silence, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, I just felt a warm current enter my body... I don't feel so cold anymore."
The moment she became a full member, Kasumigaoka Utaha clearly felt her body slightly strengthened, a gentle power flowing into her limbs and bones, quietly dispelling the chill.
“It’s a crew bonus.” Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly. “When the crew members fight side by side, their various attributes will receive additional boosts, but the boosts are limited. If more crew members can be recruited, the bonuses should be even stronger.”
"We'll talk about that later."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression quickly turned serious; she bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with tension.
"The mission at the amusement park hasn't changed, could it be...?"
Before the words were finished, the two identity cards in the air suddenly turned into starlight and quietly disappeared into the air.
Then the park's cold announcement rang out again:
[Player identity change detected, main quest updating...]
Update complete
Main Quest: A Long Snowy Night
[Instance Type: Cooperative Survival]
[Dungeon Difficulty: Hard]
[Dungeon rewards increased by an additional 200%]
"Hey, the mission really has changed."
Upon seeing the notification, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes suddenly brightened.
Although the difficulty of the dungeon has increased, my junior has gone from being an opponent to a teammate, and now at least has the opportunity to clear the dungeon.
After reviewing the dungeon change notification once more, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally felt relieved, and her voice regained its elegant tone:
"Junior, I look forward to your guidance in the future."
"..."
The cold wind howled.
Just moments ago, the sky was overcast and gloomy, but in an instant, a cold wind swept in, carrying with it fine snowflakes, and the chill was penetrating to the bone.
"The temperature is dropping rapidly." Kiyono Makoto frowned, his expression turning serious. "The dungeon type has changed to survival mode, and the extreme cold environment is obviously the most direct source of danger."
"It's really super cold..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha clutched her chest tightly, her pretty face drained of color again, and her voice trembled slightly:
"Junior, hurry up and get some warm clothes."
Kiyono Makoto silently shook his head: "I didn't prepare that kind of thing."
Before entering the instance, he purchased the planned food, fresh water, weapons, first aid kit... but did not buy any items to keep warm.
Unexpected events can happen all the time in this world; no one can be perfect in every way.
Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head in confusion:
"Hey, aren't you a senior, junior?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, senior." Kiyono Makoto was telling the truth. "I just passed the beginner trial."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "..."
what?
My junior is a newbie player just like me?
So you've been scaring yourself the whole time?
A fleeting feeling of wanting to cry but being unable to is quickly forgotten by Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Now that we're on this pirate ship, there's no way we can get off.
"If you're a newbie player, how did you manage to get an S-rank item?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha is extremely curious.
As fellow new players, she only had the most basic food and water, and a very ordinary self-defense weapon; the difference between them was like night and day.
Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto sighed, and a figure with blonde twin tails flashed through his mind:
"Because some idiot mistakenly chose a dungeon of dangerous difficulty."
“Idiot…” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s beautiful eyes widened upon hearing this, a sudden thought flashing through her mind, “Is it that useless Eriri who likes to pretend to be a good girl?”
ah-
in the real world.
Eriri, wearing a green sweatshirt and sitting at her desk casually drawing in her notebook, suddenly sneezed.
“That’s strange…” Eriri rubbed her nose. “I feel like someone is talking about me behind my back.”
"I can't draw anymore, I just can't calm down."
After sitting there for half an hour without drawing a single original draft, Eriri threw down her pencil and quietly opened the player forum.
"As expected, forum gossip is much more interesting..."
Before long, a post from a newcomer caught Eriri's attention.
This is the ramblings and confession of an ordinary player.
The player who posted the message and another player are friends in real life. They were recruited by the amusement park together, worked together to pass the beginner trial, and made a promise to survive together.
In the latest instance, the two were assigned to opposing factions that would fight each other, with only one side able to survive...
"How cruel."
Eriri gently bit her lower lip, deeply experiencing the cruelty of paradise.
Continuing down, you'll find many players flooding the comments section with irrelevant remarks.
"To survive, you have to give up everything; that's paradise."
"The amusement park is utterly inhumane."
"It's not a human being, it has no humanity to begin with."
"Actually, as long as a formal team is formed, there is no need to worry about infighting."
"Such expensive special items are simply unaffordable for ordinary players, right?"
"..."
Looking at the comments below, Eriri couldn't help but think of Makoto Kiyono.
"Forming a team is indeed extremely important... Let's wait and see when we receive the dungeon notification. There's no way anyone would beat us to it, right?"
Chapter 16 Senior: Who threw that snowball?!
at the same time.
Inside the instance.
“The wind and snow are getting heavier, and we don’t have any warm clothes. We can’t last much longer.” Kiyono Makoto quickly assessed the current situation. “The most urgent thing is to get to the cabin halfway up the mountain as soon as possible.”
"Huh?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback by what she heard. She subconsciously looked around, but unfortunately, everything was shrouded in darkness, and she couldn't see anything at all.
"How did you know there was a wooden house halfway up the mountain?"
“I saw a post on the forum that said real-world instances don’t appear out of nowhere.” Kiyono Makoto looked up at the strange circular dome and explained softly, “I came to the park to look for a cat. I didn’t find the cat, but I did see a snow globe in a secluded corner… The mountain in front of me has the exact same outline as the mountain in the snow globe.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha, ever quick-witted, asked, "Does my junior mean we're inside that snow globe?"
“It should be.” Kiyono Makoto nodded. “I remember it very clearly, there’s a wooden house halfway up the mountain in the snowy landscape… There should be one in the dungeon too.”
