“You don’t have to worry about all of them, dear. Just think of them as some unknown people that you might never even see after today.”

“That’s easier said than done, Dad.”

Master of one of the largest guilds of this world containing not just the players, but also all kinds of natives as well: the master of [Wasabi].

Olive had no idea why her dumb dad would name his guild something so funny… but according to his explanation, in an ‘ancient’ language of this world, the word ‘Wasabi’ did not mean something related to the wasabi roots, but was the honor title given to the ‘Masters of a blessed land’ or something like that.

He didn’t know exactly since he had only found out about it by coincidence when he was doing a quest, but he was certain that the guild that had grown up to be one of the biggest names in this world was, at the very least, not something funny.

“Anyway… where’s Alex? She’s not answering either.”

Today was a big day for them.

They were going to gather for the big conference that was going to take place in the royal palace’s secret underground area that was often used for this kind of gathering.

Since ancient times, the grand castle of Viv was celebrated as the Continental landmark of the west, a place that was not only one of the most amazing places in history, but also the place that had served as one of the safest places throughout history for certain important gatherings.

And the gathering this time was going to be like one of those historical gatherings where important people from all around the world gathered to discuss something important.

“I have no idea either. If I’m right though, she would already be at the castle with the Queen. I’ve told you how they used to be close, right?”

“Yes, but, being with the Queen right before the gathering is… is that alright?”

Her father wasn’t a high ranker like her big brother Yet. He was a ranker, yes. He was one of the top fifty players among the millions that played this game, but he was a working professional.

A busy person who, despite his tremendous workload, had somehow reached the stage he was at and had established an organization perhaps just as big as their business in the real world.

“There’s nothing wrong with a mentor being with those who have learned from then, is there? Besides, even though the Queen has the certain image as a ‘transcendent’ ‘ruthless’ and ‘wise’ individual, she’s more like a simple person that cherishes everything he has.

Alex had helped her quite a lot in the past, in fact, Alex has helped a lot of people that will be there today so no one would really think it’s weird that she’s there.”

The two of them were in a horse carriage right now, and they were going to the castle through an official invitation.

He was an important figure from the west however, he was going to be the only one that made an official visit this time around.

The plan was simple…

An official from the east had arrived and the Queen would be busy with the meeting with him.

He had come to discuss the trade and the trade routes that they had been discussing over for a long time so she would be busy for a while.

His presence was important enough for this kind of treatment to be believable since not only he was a representative of a guild, her father practically represented the entire east.

Knowing the gravity of the situation, even if the Queen is nowhere to be seen throughout the day, there wouldn’t be any great suspicions about these activities.

That way, they would be able to handle all the people that would be visiting today as well, and even if there are individuals- moles- among them, they would be able to take care of them swiftly and quickly.

That was how they had done it when the first Main Scenario happened, as well as when the fourth Main scenarios took place.

Those were some of the biggest events of this world and they were not something simple.

They had to gather at that time to discuss what they were going to do, however, at that time, the Sages had not attended this gathering.

It was only the Monarchs, but this time was different.

Since the matter involved an object that was closely related to the Truth that those searching for the truth could gain a great insight from, the Sages at the very least weren’t going to miss this opportunity.

They were coming, perhaps some of them had already arrived and were waiting for them.

He did think there could very well be some that weren’t yet here but he knew they would be here.

There might be more people than they were expecting, since the spread of word was prominent when it came to this kind of thing, however, only the ones that were trusted by the council of Elders, or the people that were mutually trusted by each member of this conference, would be allowed an entrance there.

“How can a single coin cause so much trouble, haaaa…”

She was exhausted, actually, if it wasn’t for Elio showing up and telling her to do what she wanted, she might not have been here either.

This was something important not just for her, but for her father, her best friend, her dumb Alex, and for her overprotective brother.

This world… the people of this world…

All of this was important for them. She couldn’t just leave all of this behind and… even if she wanted to, she couldn’t endanger the lives of the people of this world.

They weren’t simple NPCs.

They also weren’t simple AI that were all programmed to act the way they did.

All of the beings, people of this world, were in fact people.

Even if they were made of virtual bodies and not of mortal flesh, they were still as real as all of them.

She can’t let them die knowing she would be at the center of the chaos that Might come because of her.

So, she had no choice but to come and attend this gathering.

But, since they were here now anyway, she was going to use Elio’s suggestion and do whatever she wanted instead of being told what she needed to do with that coin… or perhaps with her own self.
