Thanks to Senior Asario, I was able to learn many good moves. No matter how fierce he was, he was a kind-hearted and not arrogant Senior who selflessly taught his gaming skills to his juniors.
Hehehehehe, although technically, I am not his junior, surely Senior Asario has considered me as one of his favorite juniors.
Now, I am back in the border region of Nostalgia Country and the Kingdom of Doremi. I once again followed the mission that Kak Krimson had followed here after the failure we had made before.
After passing through the dense forest, we finally arrived in the Kingdom of Doremi. But this is quite disappointing. No high-level monsters at all attacked our caravan. The highest level monster that attacked us was a flock of blue wolves typical of the Kingdom of Doremi called suluksaksak whose level did not reach at number 35.
But well, this is certainly still better, considering that the last time we went here together with Chika, we were attacked by a monster named above level one hundred.
It's to be grateful that this trip is safe. No one died, only this time there were about less than ten members of the mercenary who were small abrasions.
Arriving in the Kingdom of Doremi, I saw four black people welcoming us, two men and two women, while putting the two palms together they then swept a glimpse of the area of their foreheads that were repainted by a kind of gold-colored paint.
I actually don't know what it is because I'm less steeped in cultural issues. Understandably, I'm more interested in the fight and the history. But since it seemed to be their typical greeting, I followed the same as they did to return their greeting.
One impression of me on them, they're all friendly. It was very different from the blond-haired nobility who always boasted of themselves, especially those located in the Melodia Kingdom.
Let alone nobles, sometimes there are ordinary residents who often discriminate against adventurers just because of differences in skin color, eyes, and hair. It is absolutely ridiculous if there is a race that thinks their race is superior to other races.
Well, basically in the Kingdom of Doremi, they did not establish the division of castes so the terms nobility were unknown and even the selection of their king's successor alone was done with tournaments to determine who was the strongest who deserved to be king.
Perhaps that is why, being inherited by the spirit of the spirit of equality, they all became friendly citizens.
But I can't say that the system is fair enough because it's actually a secret, but the kings and their succeeding generations who are descendants of the lion beastman have a certain kind of secret cultivation technique that causes their martial arts will always be far superior to other races that come from ordinary residents.
So how could a mediocre person suddenly dethrone their position as king? Even if there is, the competition will be slightly rigged subtly until finally the non-family challengers of the king will lose. It all comes back to the political game by taking advantage of existing legal loopholes.
After that, we were ushered into the inner territory of the kingdom. I looked around too. This place is so beautiful that it is filled with thick hairy humans with ears and tails that resemble various types of animals, especially cats, foxes, rabbits, and the wolf who was dubbed the beastman as well as the black people.
This place is so beautiful. The river water is clear, the merchandise in the market is neatly arranged, the culinary also looks tempting. But well, one drawback, the place feels a bit like the smell of a horse stable.
But to my surprise, none of the natives nor of the mercenaries and adventurers including Kak Krimson were visibly disturbed by the strange smell. So I also ignored it by wearing a mask covering my mouth and nose are black which is also created from my all-round clothes.
Long story short, the transaction that seems to take a bit longer to be implemented, was immediately started by Kak Krimson. Given the long transaction time, Kak Krimson finally sent me to the forest to hunt monsters to gain experience points.
And this is the moment I was waiting for.
Not long ago I walked through the forest, once again I was intercepted by a suluksaksak. This is frustrating because even though they are low-leveled, their numbers are so numerous that it would be a waste of time to beat them.
At least if his monster boss was at a high level, maybe I would be happy to fight him. Unfortunately, his monster boss alone was only level 32.
Without a second thought, I activated my stealth skill and shadow steps to immediately leave the location without bothering to defeat the blue wolf pack.
But what ambushed me turned out to be just an ignorant cobra beast. How dare this beast who was only level 19 was about to prey on me. Without thinking I killed him immediately.
I got deeper and deeper into the dense forest area because I heard that this is one of the five places where we will be able to find high-level monsters. But what a high level monster. Far away I walked, the highest level monster I encountered was just a level 35 tree turtle monster.
Even his level was far from the bear beast I last met here that reached level 47.
Due to time constraints, I decided to stop my search and rushed back to Kak Krimson's place to make things right back to Nostalgia.
Well, in the end I was indeed unable to find the high-level monsters I was looking for, but at the very least, the two hundred more monsters I defeated had fulfilled my experience points to level 48.
Unfortunately, only that's where my experience points this time can raise my level, regarding I've never once defeated a level 48 monster and above that the system recognizes. Though I once defeated a level 49 basilisk and even a lesser dragon zombie level 73. Unfortunately, it is not recognized by the system.
The first reason was that the basilisk was not healthy, while the second was obviously because he was a zombie, not a living creature, which had lost its life force, so which might be taken into account by the system.
What was clear today was ending peacefully, including Aura who was also on guard in the capital of the Lalania Empire, Raia and Nina's sister are trying to explore a small dungeon with Diana as her guide in a remote area of the Lalania Empire, and Chika is training with Professor Bruntall de Yesod. That's something to be grateful for.
Oh right, I haven't said that thanks to Chika's incredible talent, Grandpa Bruntall immediately recruited her to become his second player student after Kak Krimson. So right now, Chika was busy with her concoction potion in the Nostalgic State Magic Academy.
One thing I like about them is that even though they were ultimately not selected as participants who would enter the tournament early in the high school e-sport vrmmorpg academic year, they did not look desperate. In fact, they continue to struggle to improve their abilities for the next opportunity.

That night at exactly 12 pm, I stopped playing my game because of the arrival of the prohibition hours of minors playing the game.
But as soon as I was about to close my eyes, suddenly a phone call with a strange number that was unlike the Indonesian phone number rang on my smartphone.
And as soon as I lifted it up,
“Hai, Luca. Long time no see.”
A voice I hadn't heard for a long time, but I knew him very well. He is Leo's brother, who is actually our relationship is his grandmother's brother and granddaughter. And I'm the one who's his grandmother's brother Leo's brother. A complicated relationship, right? But since Brother Leo is older, it would not be wrong to call him Big Brother.
He said, “I am currently in Jakarta, I would like to meet Grandma Judith and family. Game The Last Blood yuk.”
And that Sunday night, the training opportunity I was looking for was wide open. I can practice with the great Brother Leo.
Frankly, there's one weapon I've got right now that I'm letting freeze in my inventory about I don't have enough confidence to use yet, about that type of weapon is so new to me. That's my weapon, the physical twin hero pistol.
And as you know, The Last Blood game is a game made by Native Americans based on the skill of shooting apocalypse-type monsters. It really will be a very useful exercise for me.
