Blanc sometimes starts talking about things that are not easy to understand out of the blue.

However, I’ve come to understand in this short time together that Blanc’s words are just missing a little something, and she’s not saying things that truly don’t make sense. Usually, that is.

“You didn’t mention anything about it during the previous event, did you, Rare?”

“…Oh! You mean like an MVP award or something?”

“Yeah, yeah! Like an award for effort!”

MVP and an effort award make a big difference, but I understand what she’s trying to say.

“But at least for this time, I don’t think I’ll get one.”

“Why? Because you lost?”

“Exactly.”

*Thud*

I don’t remember discussing that topic specifically with Blanc. However, I have talked about it with Lyra in front of Blanc. If Blanc knows the details, she probably heard it from Lyra or saw it on the forum. Well, it’s not that painful of a memory now. I’ll kill those players on sight though.

“…No, that’s not relevant. I’d actually prefer if they gave the MVP to those who defeated me. I really don’t care anymore. Anyway, this time, the admins suggested or requested that I participate as a force on the monster side. If I didn’t agree, they said I could participate as a player however I liked. So, if I agreed, I think it’s more accurate to say that I’m on the side of the admins rather than the player side.

MVP stands for Most Valuable Player, literally the player with the most value. Usually, it’s awarded to the player who performed the most outstandingly. From that perspective, I think I might be excluded from consideration.”

“Is that so? Then would I be excluded from consideration too?”

“No, Blanc, you participated on the monster side as part of your playstyle, so if you were outstanding, you might still be chosen. By the way, isn’t there any announcement or anything?”

I thought this had already been settled while Rare and the others were offline, but it seems that such announcements have not been made yet.

This time, unlike the previous event, there were no clear goals or victories, so it’s possible that they haven’t been set up at all. However, judging from threads like the one mentioned, if there are no announcements, they would surely be disappointed.

“…Well, maybe it’s okay not to have one this time.”

However, if there are no results for the entire event yet, it means that event rewards suggested by the organizers are also not available. There wasn’t any information related to that in system messages either.

“If the evaluations are separate for the invasion side and the defense side, I think I’m in a good position! I’ve conquered two cities all by myself, after all.”

“Yeah, you’re probably the only one who managed to conquer two.”

If that goblin leader mentioned earlier were a player, conquering the frontline city would mean they are superior to Blanc in a sense. It’s unclear how they would be evaluated in practice.

Moreover, objectively speaking, that goblin, who only conquered cities with beginner players in the borderlands, may be considered superior to Rare.

Rare did conquer the capital, but there weren’t that many players in the capital. Although she fought against a raid party, she ultimately lost. They probably got some experience points, so they might have killed about half, but whether they were active is debatable. Perhaps a goblin who attacked and defended a city’s military forces properly might be considered more excellent.

If they count the knights and soldiers in the capital and La Colinne, the kill score would skyrocket. But in terms of PvP performance, it didn’t shine.

At any rate, the chances of being considered for selection are low. If not selected, it’s probably because of that. It can’t be helped; this is just a precaution.

“…Well, there were various irregularities, and it might take time for the calculations and selections.

Anyway, Blanc, what are you going to do now? Are you going back to the Count’s place? Wasn’t that your home?”

“Oh, if you mean home, I’ve already moved to Erntal. This lord’s mansion is my home now!

As a parting gift, I bid farewell to Count-sama and received a butler as a farewell gift!”

“It’s an honor to meet you.”

The white-haired butler who had been waiting in the corner of the room stepped forward and bowed.

I was somewhat shaken because I thought of him as part of the background or an unconscious element of the environment.

“Oh, yeah. Nice to meet you too. I was thinking there was someone unfamiliar here. So, is he your new subordinate, Blanc?”

“Strictly speaking, no. My master is still His Excellency Count de Habiland. But currently, I am in Lady Blanc’s service and act as her main support. Please feel free to ask me anything.”

In other words, is he like a dispatched employee? I’ve read somewhere that there used to be a system like a rental companion for events that required a partner, even though it is unnecessary in the current era where events are conducted seamlessly in VR. Or I’ve heard of rental siblings, rental lovers and things like that.

In the context of reality, it’s not too different from VR to treat someone who doesn’t exist as if they do. After all, humanity has progressed to this point in a predictable way.

While I was thinking about unrelated matters, Blanc was talking about her interaction with the Count.

“And well, that’s how the Count entrusted Weiss to me.”

Blanc explains it casually, but he’s probably a kind of chaperone or surveillance officer. From what I hear, the Earl seems to have a high favorability towards Blanc, so he’s probably making arrangements to report regularly and lend a hand subtly.

“In that case, I’ll leave Blanc in your care too. Sometimes she does things that make me worry.”

“I understand.”

“Just what do you understand!?”

Ignoring Blanc’s retort, I can now go on that volcanic expedition without any worries. Even if players attack this city, I plan to leave Deas behind and keep Queen Beetle here. With the addition of the capable character Weiss and the waiting wolves, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

“Deas will stay behind. I’ll leave Blanc and the others in your care. I’ll take… as planned, Kerry’s group of four, and my wolves that are already waiting nearby.”

Deas frowned a bit, but upon hearing that Kerry and the others would be with me, he lowered his head in a way that seemed to say, “If that’s the case, fine”.

I can jump to the location where the wolves are, call Kerry and the others there, and gather them.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve operated with this group. It’s almost like when we first started, hunting those wild boars.

“Well then, Blanc, see you later. Feel free to contact me anytime.

Once things settle down, let’s talk with Lyra too. Maybe there are factions playing together with monster players and human players, and we can discuss how to collaborate for greater benefits.”

“Okay! After all, we’re the Four Heavenly Kings! Oh, what about Lyra-san? Is she an adviser?”

“…Calling her an adviser would suddenly make her seem like an external consultant. But it sounds interesting, so try saying that to her when we meet next time. I want to see her reaction too.”
