305: Takashima

Silver-Haired’s reign of torturing people with food has reached new heights!

✦ ✦ ✦

306: Cho

Is that what he does?

✦ ✦ ✦

307: Tetsu

Well, there was an incident with his food.

✦ ✦ ✦

308: Tundra

It was, in a sense, a bomb.

✦ ✦ ✦

309: Tomato Mato

Huh? Did Silver-Haired do something bad this time?

A bomb? Like a bomb bomb?

✦ ✦ ✦

310: Tarukus

I wouldn’t say what he normally does is good or bad...

What, did Silver-Haired discover some way to make PK possible or something?

✦ ✦ ✦

311: Takashima

No PK, but players are dying.

I mean, he’s not killing them directly himself, and the players who have died sort of brought it on themselves.

✦ ✦ ✦

312: Cherry

What do you mean?

✦ ✦ ✦

313: Tundra

-New meals are put up for sale at Silver-Haired’s farm stand.

-“Delicious seafood! Woo-hoo!”

-Players fight over being the first in line to buy.

-“Huh? This dish has a weird marker over it...”

-“It’s poisoned!”

-“And it’s an unknown poison! Explosive new info!”

That about sums it up.

✦ ✦ ✦

314: Tetsu

That sounds like he put poisoned meals he was testing out up for sale by mistake.

✦ ✦ ✦

315: Cho

It might not be a mistake.

✦ ✦ ✦

316: Tomato Mato

Huh? So you think he’s trying to poison people on purpose?

✦ ✦ ✦

317: Cho

No, not that! I’m saying he was probably just trying to get rid of them!

✦ ✦ ✦

318: Tarukus

Hmm, that could be.

But if people have died, that means...

✦ ✦ ✦

319: Cherry

People actually ate them?

✦ ✦ ✦

320: Takashima

Some did.

✦ ✦ ✦

321: Tsujido

Well, can you blame me?!

It looked too good to pass up!

✦ ✦ ✦

322: Tomato Mato

S-Speak of the devil!

✦ ✦ ✦

323: Tetsu

All you had to do was appraise it to see it was poisoned.

✦ ✦ ✦

324: Cho

And wasn’t it super expensive?

You ate it without even appraising something like that?

✦ ✦ ✦

325: Tsujido

I did appraise it! That didn’t stop me!

✦ ✦ ✦

326: Tarukus

A daredevil!

✦ ✦ ✦

327: Tsujido

I’ve always dreamed of enjoying one of Silver-Haired’s homemade meals. You think I even had a choice to eat it or not? Pah! Nay, I say!

✦ ✦ ✦

328: Cho

Fine, I can understand you got excited in the moment and wanted to eat it. But willingly getting poisoned to eat it seems a bit extreme...

Oh, but how’d it taste?

✦ ✦ ✦

329: Tsujido

It was delicious!

Also, I thought I’d be able to cure the poison right away.

I even made sure I had antidotes on hand.

✦ ✦ ✦

330: Tomato Mato

But you couldn’t cure it?

✦ ✦ ✦

331: Tsujido

I was about to, but then I didn’t use it.

✦ ✦ ✦

332: Tarukus

Huh? So you let yourself die on purpose?

✦ ✦ ✦

333: Takashima

The meals contained a never-before-seen poison.

✦ ✦ ✦

334: Tundra

So you were afflicted with Magic Poison, right?

✦ ✦ ✦

335: Tsujido

That’s right. I wanted to see how much damage it would cause me...

✦ ✦ ✦

336: Tetsu

But before the poison wore off on its own, you died from the chip damage.

✦ ✦ ✦

337: Tsujido

Bingo!

Other players saved themselves by using antidotes.

The Magic Poison ailment turned into Deadly Poison and Paralysis, which went away naturally just in time before they died.

✦ ✦ ✦

338: Tomato Mato

So what you’re saying is, Magic Poison is a composite poison made from Deadly Poison and Paralysis, and with an even stronger effect?

✦ ✦ ✦

339: Tarukus

I like the sound of that! Imagine what a poison like that could do in battle.

✦ ✦ ✦

340: Takashima

Hmm, I dunno.

Considering how expensive the poisoned meals were, the ingredients for the poison must be really valuable.

✦ ✦ ✦

341: Cho

Yeah, it’s probably only worth it to use them against bosses.

Though depending on just how pricey they are, they might even break the budget for a boss fight.

✦ ✦ ✦

342: Cherry

I’m more horrified by the fact that there were multiple people who ate the food even knowing that it was poisoned.

✦ ✦ ✦

343: Tetsu

Yeah, well, you’ll always find people who want to test that sort of stuff. Some people just can’t help but satisfy their curiosity.

✦ ✦ ✦

344: Tundra

Speaking of bosses, Silver-Haired was heading somewhere with an impressive group of players just recently, right?

✦ ✦ ✦

345: Takashima

Yeah, I think he was with the Monster Hunting Division’s clan master and his party, as well as Purple-Haired, Ruby Red, and Pyro.

✦ ✦ ✦

346: Cho

I’m pretty sure there were also the Hero and the Sage, Red Cow, and the Blue Mermaid. And a bunch of other people famous enough to have nicknames.

✦ ✦ ✦

347: Tomato Mato

They’re all celebrities!

I bet they found a crazy quest.

✦ ✦ ✦

348: Tarukus

A quest extreme enough to warrant that sort of party?

If so, we’d for sure hear a server-wide announcement about it.

✦ ✦ ✦

349: Takashima

It seemed like they used something to conceal themselves at one point, but the quest must be triggered around that giant mountain.

Silver-Haired doesn’t seem like the type to use a concealment item, so someone else must have...

✦ ✦ ✦

350: Cho

I wonder if it’s a quest related to something that top players would want to keep to themselves.

Maybe they discovered the way to Zone Eleven?

✦ ✦ ✦

351: Tundra

I bet you’re right! Maybe?

Wait, no. That can’t be. Everyone’s been looking high and low for that, with nothing to show for it.

Zone Eleven just hasn’t been implemented yet.

✦ ✦ ✦

352: Tetsu

Silver-Haired has been seen in areas related to yokai, so some people think he’s discovered a new one.

✦ ✦ ✦

353: Tomato Mato

Ah, now that I can believe.

✦ ✦ ✦

354: Tarukus

A yokai, huh? That would be a pretty important discovery.

But is it big enough info for top players to want to monopolize it?

✦ ✦ ✦

355: Cherry

I wish he would find a new fairy instead of a new yokai.

✦ ✦ ✦

356: Tsujido

Wait, did you all hear that announcement just now?!

You heard it, right? Right?! I’m not hallucinating?

✦ ✦ ✦

357: Takashima

N-No way... Our joke became reality! Gaaah!

✦ ✦ ✦

358: Cho

Did we just manifest that?

Yikes... The timing of it gives me chills.

✦ ✦ ✦

359: Tundra

I-I can’t just sit around and do nothing! I’m going to the Quick-Eared Cats!

✦ ✦ ✦

360: Tarukus

Huh? Now?

✦ ✦ ✦

361: Tetsu

That announcement is obviously about Silver-Haired!

We’ve got a Silver-Haired phenomenon on our hands!

And it’s a surefire fact he’s gonna sell info to the Cats!

✦ ✦ ✦

362: Takashima

I’m outta here!

I’m sure other people are running to line up too! The race is on!

✦ ✦ ✦

363: Tsujido

I’m leaving too!

✦ ✦ ✦

364: Tomato Mato

G-Good luck with that, guys.

✦ ✦ ✦

365: Cherry

Wow, everyone’s so cool.

✦ ✦ ✦

366: Tomato Mato

Huh? You think they’re cool?

✦ ✦ ✦

367: Cherry

Yes, I do! Someday, I’ll also become someone so obsessed with the latest strategy that I run to the Quick-Eared Cats to get it!

✦ ✦ ✦

368: Tomato Mato

R-Really? I think I’m good on that...
