Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem

Chapter 90.2

Chapter 90.2. Zephyrus Shows Us Other Possibilities

That’s right. Zephyrus is a useful character. Even if you kill him, he’s a cheat character who can revive himself with [Anemoi’s Blessing].

So he would randomly attack in transport quests, attack in material gathering quests, attack in escort quests, attack in any case, he had become a character that attacked with laughing himself. It was a way to understand the cruelty of the operating company. Other enemies are involved in sub-stories.

If the results reflect that, it’s understandable that he became such a jerk. I feel a little sorry for him.

Even though this world is the ’s world, I have recently been thinking that there is a high degree of freedom in terms of characterization. The feelings of a character in a are just a few lines. In the , it’s impossible to express a person’s character with just a few lines. The same is true for subplots. The soldier who tells us, “This is the ruined Tokyo.”, could say anything he wants, except for that one word. There is no set characterization.

In that respect, Zephyrus is involved in the main story, and the game’s original story, so his personality and other details get expressed in great detail, and that’s why he changed into such a regrettable Martian.

[So where is the heart of this story? I understand that Zephyrus also reflects the character of the game. What happened to that? That idiot should die this time.]

With Frigg-oneesan’s ability, he won’t escape. So we will be able to kill him, but the story of Zephyrus is not the point.

[It’s about the fact that the game setting reflects more than just us. Which means we’ve been wrong all along.]

They look at me with interest, so I press my cheeks against the griffon’s fur and continue talking.

[I wonder if there is such a thing as an alchemist?]

[Alchemists? I concluded that since it’s the ’s world, there aren’t any. Oh, I see what you mean. So if the game reflects the setting, there must be an alchemist’s store?]

[Or that even if the alchemist’s store doesn’t exist because of the ’s setting, the alchemist could still be there?]

They both seem to get my point and understand the story.

[Yes, recovery magicians have dwindled to a rare level. I think this is because of the pressure of the ’s opportunism. But the recovery magicians themselves existed besides the saints, right?]

[In the game, these recovery wizards were adventurers. There were many of them, but in this world, they get reduced to only 30. That means. Alchemists’ stores were few. Considering the ratio, it’s possible that there is only one family or so]

[………With such a scarcity, it’s not surprising that they would get targeted by anyone. If so, they must be hiding their powers.]

I know how great alchemists are. They were mob characters with no names. They were a hooded opponent, and even their gender was unknown.

I don’t know who the alchemist was. I don’t know, but if the game reflects the power of the game, there must be an alchemist that I thought wasn’t there.

[But can’t we find them by searching in the dark? Do you have a guess?]

[There is one. There was a sub-story involving an alchemist. If that person’s sub-story is still alive, there is a possibility that we can meet them.]

I’m sure in the ’s world. They would completely hide their powers because it’s dangerous. But if the sub-story gets reflected in this world, like the characterization of Zephyrus, then there is a possibility that they exist.

[While we’re helping them, let’s get them to join us.]

When I completed that sub-story, I befriended an alchemist, who gave me new recipes, made alchemical items for lower-grade materials, and allowed me to run a store. I don’t need the recipes because I remember them, but the others are useful.

Of course, I wouldn’t open a store in the city, because the setting works so strongly. But it would be helpful to have an alchemist on board.

[You were thinking about that while engaging in such a deadly battle. The young lady has a gamer brain, don’t you?]

[And I’ve seen the art of making potions before. I’ve been thinking that there must be something like an alchemist. I don’t have a gamer brain, Mii-chan is smart].

The beautiful girl Mii-chan shows off her smile to show off her pride. Yggdrasil gave the Aburage a potion to cure magic disease. That pointed to the possibility of alchemy. But since there was no healing potion, I kept wondering. I don’t have a gamer brain. Mii-chan is a girl who loves to play outside.

[When does that sub-story start? And we don’t have enough power to surround the alchemist even if we helped them, do we?]

[That sub-story could happen at any time. The original story hasn’t started yet, and there’s still time. So, Frigg-oneesan, hurry up and build a hidden base or something, will you?]

[Yes, yes. Then I’ll try to make ground as soon as I can.]

I shrug my shoulders, and to Frigg-oneesan who smiles bewitchingly with a grin, I answer “please” and end the communication.

Well then, I’ll start making the groundwork for you too.

First, let’s charm the people in the mansion that will be our home with our cute Mii-chan smile.

I see a magnificent mansion as I move through the forest into the garden. The walls are broken, many people seem to have been injured, and I saw a maid with a first aid kit.

Well, I’m going to use my recovery magic.
