The shipment of the crystal to Rin was completed without incident.
I was surprised by the temple that had been built before I knew it, and there were various other troubles... anyway, the crystal making was finished for the time being.
"And a few days later, I was about to create a new weapon...kind of?"
"Weapons that can be created still remain."
I convinced myself that it would be good to create it, even if the image was a little different.
"However, I wonder how this is ethically… you won't be caught as a criminal, right?"
"This AFO is a world where everything is possible."
However, there are rules, for example if you kill someone in town, you will be arrested by the guards.
"What I'm trying to create is, in a sense, an item that seems to fall under the rules."
"I'm slightly worried, but..."
"Hmm? Isn't it too late now?"
"Even the weapons created so far can be used for crimes depending on how they are used."
Yes, in the end, the way you think about an item changes depending on how you use it.
"If I can use it correctly, the weapons that will be born in the future will also be blessed in life... Yeah, my responsibility has increased somewhat."
And my impressions after examining the created items ──
"Akan, this guy is out no matter how you try to cover it up."
"A new magical weapon that upsets you so much that you end up using a fake Kansai dialect."
...Is it inevitable because it is created using the skills of
"Well, it looks like this...
-------------------------------------------------- -------
Night King's Ring Producer: Mels
Magic Arms: [Lust] self-evolving type
RANK: X Durability: ∞
A demonic ring created by the modern [Lust] owner.
It is possible to transform into any object by imbuing it with magical power.
You can get a huge correction for affairs, making it easier to see through weaknesses.
Also, this ring has a will, and it rejects attacks and people other than its master.
equipment skill
(Ego no bud) (transformation magic) (bulk width adjustment) (sensation zone detection)
(Variety of affection) (Unmatched) (Growth of worldly desires) (?) (?)...
-------------------------------------------------- -------
"... I think everyone has the desire to transform."
"I want to be the opposite sex, I want to be the person I admire, I think there are such thoughts.
In order to fulfill such a wish, the power of [Lust] created transformation magic.
I only use it for disguise, but there are many other ways to use it.
"But well, there's this thing called worldly desires... do you intend to grow 108 times?"
I don't think there's a situation where I need to go out of my way to be unequaled. If not, it must be a pretty good skill.
"Are you good at quiet talk?"
"Well, I want to try transformation magic, so why don't we go to town for a while?"
"I have no intention of becoming a recluse, so it's also proof that I'm in touch with the real world."
...Or rather, joining a guild and doing nothing would be a bit of a problem.
"If I don't complete the quest within a certain period of time, I'll be stripped of my guild certificate... let's go."
"I'm not satisfied with the rank-up event, so I can't stand it ending like this!"
──For that reason, he made up his mind to leave the training grounds.
◆ □ ◆ □ ◆
Players are gathering at the adventurer's guild because the area beyond the town has not yet been developed.
"It's been a month since the game started, but I still don't have the strength to defeat the boss."
Only the high mountains in the north are open, but the level is not high enough to cross it...if there is a level to cross it, I think the eastern area can be opened.
"Well, this is not something you do as hypocrisy."
At that time, I didn't have the strength to act hypocritical, and I devoured sub-dragons out of my own selfish desires.
By wielding the power I gained as a result, I will be able to do hypocrisy in this world.
But right now, at least in individual battles, he's the strongest, so he doesn't want to stand out and open up the area.
"Well, request request. Is there any request like that?"
Looking for a request form to extend the deadline, which is also the purpose of this time.
If possible, it would have been nice to have a simple monster extermination job... but I found a more interesting request than that.
"Search request?"
"In short, it's just a job to search for the specified things."
However, the players were unable to find it, and the request form is still posted inside the guild.
"However, I was able to deliver it to the client immediately."
"Because the request is ──
===============================
Search request Client: Management
"Imitator" who disappeared in the middle of the fighting tournament
He seems to have a special skill, even we can't capture him.
I want the recipient to find him
All names and races are unknown (profession may have already changed)
Regarding appearance, there is previous data [image]
After discovery, it is enough if you make a GM call
After the reported person turns out to be a "copycat", reward the achiever
In addition, even if this request fails, you will not be charged a penalty.
Accomplishment conditions: Discovery and reporting of "copycats"
Reward: ? ? ?
===============================
"Well, it's written."
"Is it because they didn't know who I am?"
"Well, I guess one of the {emotions} was activated on its own anyway."
Other than that, I can't think of any other skills that would allow me to hide information.
"It's unthinkable that a concealment that can be used by the player can deceive the eyes of the management."
Abnormal skills that surpass human intelligence──unless they are skills bearing the names of mortal sins and virtues.
"However, the fact that the reward is a secret really tickles my heart... I didn't do anything wrong, so would you like to go see me?"
Head to the counter and tell them that you want to accept the request immediately.
There seemed to be a lot of players who wanted to accept this, probably because they didn't charge a penalty, and the lady at the reception quickly completed the registration and sent me outside.

≪Received an order for 『Search Request: Copycat』≫
◆ □ ◆ □ ◆
The grasslands of the royal capital are a quiet place.
I feel like it was a little noisy until just now, but since I was inviting the GM, I worked hard to clean it up, so it's quiet now.
"Okay, this is OK."
"GM calls cannot be made during battle."
There seem to be several reasons for this, but the main reason is that they don't want to use Call to escape.
It seems that once called, the GM will create a barrier that prevents monsters from entering... no matter how powerful the existence is, it will prevent them, so it's a cheat, isn't it?
"Um, GM call GM call"
Operate the menu to find the GM call.
"I've played Onge before, but I didn't bother to report it to management, so it feels fresh."
"Press the button and wait for a while."
Like me, he may be busy because he has someone to report the discovery of the "Imitator".
I felt that way about the GM who didn't show up right away, but it all happened because I left.
"That's what I thought, so I couldn't help but keep waiting."
As I waited, a dazzling effect appeared in front of me.
It was a golden light that made me feel a kind of godliness and warmed my heart.
"──This is GM01. Did you have any problems?"
"...Goddess-sama."
"?"
"Oops, I accidentally told my true feelings."
The woman in front of me is so beautiful that I can't help but compare her.
She has golden hair that looks like it has been combed through bright sunshine, and a beautiful face created with the exquisite golden ratio.
The toga-like clothing that softly wraps her sleek figure emits a faint light similar to the color of her hair... she really is a goddess.
"This is...not E1. How the hell did you get out of the restricted area?"
"Ah, erm... I was searching for the request, but I thought it would be better to report it to a place where no one was there..."
While thinking that E1 probably means the "Grassland of Beginnings", they managed to speak politely like a hypocrite.
"Even if they say it's regulated... well, should I be honest?"
"!? Did you find the 'imitator'!"
"Yes, the 'imitator' is in this area."
"Thank you for your cooperation! Um... Huh, do you know your name?"
"Oh, sorry for the delay—I'm Merus, the copycat you're looking for."
Saying that, he removed some of Shi's transformation magic that he was experimenting with.
──Yeah, it's easy, but it's [Lustfulness], so I chose it.
The film of magic wrapped around me peels off, revealing her appearance.
However, her wings are still hidden, and from the outside, she's just a normal human.
"You!?... No, this seems to be N2, so I'm convinced. Did you notice the request posted to each guild?"
"Yeah, that's right. I never thought I'd become famous enough to be looked for by people around me."
"I am sorry.
The goddess-sama GM01 made an expression that seemed to indicate that she was sorry from the bottom of her heart.
"In real life, I've never seen a woman make such an expression, so I'm honestly nervous.
"──No, don't worry about it.
"We have promised freedom to all prayer players.
"And this time, the goddess lowered her head."
Also, in the real world (ry.
"Merus-san, the winner of the first tournament, let's check what was supposed to be given as a prize."
"…Did you receive the items in your email?"
"Apart from that, I was going to ask directly. I think I can provide it for deaf people."
"In other words, anything is OK."
"If I become strong with such demands, the next challenger will be motivated."
However, I don't need any items that directly help me... In that case, I need to make requests with a flexible mindset.
"Then I would appreciate it if you could give me ──■■■■■■■■■. Is it possible?"
「......Yes, it is possible.
"No problem.
For example, I don't want to become stronger and isolated. So I asked for another item that I needed to enjoy my freedom... No, was it? "
For some reason, I can't help but call myself a cheetah because of my stats, so there's no need to go out of my way to increase my military strength.
In order to commit hypocrisy, I believe that in addition to having the power to persevere, there is also a guarantee that I will not be bound.
"I think they're both similar."
"If you have power, you won't be bound, and not being bound means that you have some kind of power."
...Well, the opposite is also true, so I dared to separate the two.
Now that he's got his powers, he wants an item so that he won't be bound.
"No way. Whatever it is, I'll prepare it for you. Of course, it's whatever Mels-san wants."
"thank you"
"However, it will take some time, so it will be sent by e-mail at a later date."
"Is that so? No, I'm the one who imposed the unreasonable demand. Let's look forward to that time."
"Does the management really care about modeling?"
"It's already been implemented, and I thought you'd send me a copy of it."
"Well, it doesn't matter if you get it in the end, you don't need to have it right away, so it's fine."
"By the way… GM01-san, there is one thing that bothers me…"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Reward, what is it… um, what will happen in this case?"
"Originally, the reward "?" would be given to the player who found me. ? ? ] There must have been.
"However, no one will find me, and the reward will never be paid."
"I've just received something like a reward... At this rate, it'll feel like I've just done a match pump."
──But even so, I want a reward!
Such [Greed] inadvertently spilled my desires on the goddess.
"Well… originally, I was thinking of giving him some money and potions.
"very sorry"
"No no! I've said this many times, but it's my clumsiness."
"Oh, you really are a goddess."
"But money and potions?" "Both of them are rotten, and they're items that you'll never have a problem with if you're stuck in Lean."
"... were you dissatisfied?"
"No... but I don't use money or recovery items because of my play style."
"Oh really"
"The goddess's expression darkened."
However, I still don't know how to deal with this situation...because I have much less experience in the real world.
"I mean, there's nothing there, so there's nothing I can do."
However, such a disappointing thought found an insane idea.
The sudden passing of it now feels like the gospel to me.
"──I know you are saying something unreasonable. However, I have a proposal."
"What'll we do?"
"As a reward, I don't need any items. In exchange, I'd like you to grant me one small wish."
"Is it a trivial wish?"
The goddess tilted her head slightly to the side and asked back.
She agrees and continues her explanation.
"I want you to become my friend. I don't need any special information or items.
"friend..."
"GM01-san, if you don't mind, I hope that's the case. Rather than thinking about receiving things, I really enjoyed talking with you—"
"Wow, me too!"
"The goddess suddenly raised her voice."
They seem to be excited for some reason... I don't know where to look, so please don't move too violently.
"Kyaaaa!... Oh, I exposed something unsightly."
"No, I'm sorry I couldn't turn my face away. But it was very beautiful."
"Well, I'd appreciate it if you said that."
"Somehow, it feels like an awkward atmosphere is brewing between us."
"I feel like my cheeks are blushing, and the goddess is slightly blushing as well."
...Well, that person might be angry, so don't get too carried away.
"By the way, GM01-san is a bit difficult to say… do you have an abbreviation or what you would like us to call you?"
"Eh, eh!? Um... that means, can you give me your name?"
"Huh? Well, that's right."
"A nickname is also a name, so there shouldn't be any difference."
"It wouldn't be right to call a friend like a code forever."
"However, Mr. Mels. There is a condition for giving us a name--"
"That's right, how about the name 'Rei'? There are various reasons... Um, didn't you like it?"
She tried to present the name that came to her mind, but the goddess shook her body with a jerk.
"Lie, is it authenticated? But it should be too early for the prayer to reach there at this stage..."
"The goddess muttered."
But she has imagined such things, so she is too scared to listen to her.
She waited for a while and the goddess recovered.
With a smile on her face, she calls out to the handsome Mob.
"I'm sorry. Thank you very much, Mr. Mels. I will use the name 'Rei' carefully."
"...was there a problem? In fact, when you call the name, a special monster will appear──"
"I am not the emperor of darkness, am I?"
"I-I'm sorry."
Goddess-sama ─ Rei-san's smile makes her spine tingle.
The light effect behind her also felt a little darker or darker.
"Merus, the next time we meet... please talk to me in a genuine tone, okay? Thank you very much for enjoying AFO. Please continue to enjoy it."
"Ha, yes... so, what's next? Besides, did you find out!?"
She didn't say it out loud, but instead changed her frightened smile into one of her compassionate smile.
"...Yeah, it looks like they found out."

"──Should we call GM again?"
"I can't use it continuously, so I can't do it today."
However, when I look back at Mr. Rei's smile that I saw earlier... yeah, I want to see him.
In the end, I had to put up with it and choose to log out ──Isn't the GM call a bar-like system?
