The Degree
Preparation Ray

Preparations are done quickly and everything is ready before dark. People seemed eagerly looking forward to it so they worked harder. Suppose all this is done when tomorrow comes war.

The motto of 'Alcohol feels good after hard work' is spread among people so as to encourage them more effort. Ray does not really understand it because he personally is not so interested in drinking alcohol.

“This will probably be my last alcohol, so I will enjoy it as best I can!”

“Yes! No one knows what will happen tomorrow.”

“I leave tomorrow to myself tomorrow!”

Surely no one feels unenthusiastic about this. If anything then it is the people who realize that this is only peace before chaos. They clearly understand this happiness simply to forget the horrors that will happen tomorrow.

Because there are so many people because of the alliance between Redwest and Blueeast. They must find a spacious and spacious place and party supplies are not small.

“I'm amazed they can finish it in a few hours. Even they built the stage for the show.” Leo chuckled in amazement as he watched the sea of humans sitting with glasses in their hands.

Preparation for the party was much faster than the war. Ray was a little confused but did not pursue further.

There were more people who laughed cheerfully like never before while pouring alcohol into a glass.

No one started drinking early. They are waiting for the leader and the organizers to start.

“Isn't this like in other anime and movies? Everyone gets drunk at night and forgets that tomorrow is a kill kill event.” Terumi smiled bitterly as she said so.

Some people think the same as themselves and are not so late in the party. There are even those who prefer to ignore it and take a break to prepare tomorrow.

“Do not gossip. Our job is to ensure the security of this party because now is the most vulnerable time we have.” Ray came and gave a warning.

For the night, Ray wore a black bulletproof vest with a blue cloth on his right hand. The cloth showed that he was the current head of the security squad.

Leo and Terumi hurried off cheerfully as Ray began to scold them.

“Huh, they act like children.” Ray let out a long breath and walked into the deep forest.

He leaned against a tree and observed the feast in silence. People seemed to enjoy it to the point of not realizing that war could break out. Maybe now there could be a war.

“Days like this are coming to an end. Even if Rebellion is destroyed, Open World will also fall with it.”

The fifth task is to destroy the task. Of course, all know what task was destroyed, it is easy to guess that this island itself is the task. And, this place inevitably had to be buried for their survival.

As Ray began to think about some things he heard footsteps coming from behind him but Ray did not try to confirm who it was.

His footsteps stopped and Ray sensed that this person was also leaning against the same tree without trying to confirm themselves to each other. The two of them were clearly caressing each other and did not look worried about each other's faces.

“This is too good for a coincidence. Is this party also you who compiled it?”

That person, from the voice of an adult man because of his hoarse and heavy carrying. He spoke without trying to cover up what he wanted to say.

“Of course without defects. Everything is on demand. I was surprised that it really worked. You really are a terrible person.”

Ray tried to guess that the man behind him was sincerely praising or just wanted to see his reaction. Although Ray does not need both, he is honestly interested in knowing some things indirectly.

“Seeing that you did well .. There seems to be no opposition from that side, right?”

Knowing that everything goes as smoothly as this will certainly make Ray suspect there may be a rottenness behind all this. Although already thinking about anticipation steps but still this is not an easy choice.

“All as you think. ‘This is a good offer but very detrimental in some places. Well, there's no problem adjusting it’ the boss said. He does not seem to doubt your move and bet.”

The man reached out his left hand, the watch screen was clearly on and Ray did not need to look at it directly.

Ray finally turned around but did not try to see the man hidden in the shadow of the tree. Ray just stuck his watch to the man's.

“That's good, I hope we keep this up and try not to tease each other.”

For the first time the man laughed, “Fu ha ha ha ha, you are a dangerous person. Making you an enemy is unlikely to be good news, boss.” said After finishing his affairs the man began to step away and blend in with the darkness of the night. At the end he said another sentence.

“See you tomorrow. Both Redwest, Blueeast, and Rebellion will confront each other. Let's make sure everything disappears and end this task.”

“Jaga what you say. There are some people here who have sharp hearing.”

“Fu ha ha ha, no problem. After all they might vanish tomorrow.”

Ray no longer said anything and just glanced at where the man had gone. That person clearly did not stop his steps and walked away indifferently. The sound of his weight is getting smaller but Ray can still hear it clearly.

“Try not to get drunk. Once you taste it you won't be able to stop. I've seen a lot of people go crazy over alcohol.”

“That's a gray sentence to say,” murmured Ray as he let out a long sigh.

Ray decides to look at his watch and check something he just received.

“DP as per agreement. I've sown a lot of seeds and it only takes one last step. I better not screw it up.”

Although Ray can't remember messing things up considering that every step of the way is perfect. But Ray couldn't say it out loud in this place.

Just in case he would raise his alertness twice as much as usual.

“Now, let's see how crazy this party is. Afterwards, let's meet Erina.”

Ray paid little attention to the commotion in the middle of the party as the Order took to the stage to start the event. Although it looks interesting but Ray does not really like the crowd like that.

There is more important than improving morale. Ray had always been convinced that this was not a beautiful story in which to form a circle of friends.

“I'm sure this place is not for telling the story of friendship or romance. There will only be betrayal and murder. That's it.”
