I've decided! I'll team up with Zechs!
Hah! I like smart people like you.
PLAYER, are you SURE about this?
Are you threatening my teammate?!
I just want PLAYER to make the right decision.
Hey, say your answer out loud again so that stinky fox will give up.
PLAYER?
No one can remain calm when they are being stared at by a fox and a wolf at the same time. I wipe some non-existent sweat off my forehead and stick with my decision.
I-I've decided to team up with Zechs!
Did you hear that? You stinky fox!
Sigh... I must say that you've made a great mistake, PLAYER. In that case, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy in the game.
...
It seems that it's too late to change my mind now. I... I just hope I won't run into Ein when I'm all alone.
We wear the game equipment under the guidance of the staff. Each of us gets a laser gun and a replica dagger, and the computer will automatically determine whether attacks are successful. We are then divided into two teams before entering the field and being led to our respective camps.
After the announcement plays on the radio, we eagerly leave the safe area of our camps and rush to the battle area. The treasure hunt has officially started.
It would be better to have a companion with me right now, and... Huh? Wait a minute. I have a strange feeling... Is someone following me?
A strange feeling arises in my heart, and I feel like a hot gaze that I can't ignore is watching my every move.
Is it Ein or Hannah? Have they already defeated Zechs so quickly? No, the scoring device hasn't vibrated at all, so they must not have met yet. The thing following me... can't possibly be a GoPro camera installed by the club, right?
I better think of a way to find out whether I'm right.
Some flowers blooming by the side of the path catch my attention, and I realize that they are real flowers after I kneel down to take a look at them. I feel a little sorry when I think about a fox who is allergic to pollen, but... I can't be kind to him if he isn't going to show me any mercy!
The moment I sense someone rushing towards me from behind, I quickly turn around and slap the person's face with the flower I just plucked.
Achoo!
It really is you, Ein!
There's no time for me to wonder about how Ein managed to get past Zechs's line of defense. Only one thing will happen to me if I encounter an experienced hunter all alone in the wild. To stall for time so that my teammate can come and help me, I rush to the jungle on the other side without hesitation to try and avoid Ein's attack.
Arghhhhhhhh! Why is there a trap in this wargame venue?!
Achoo! This trap isn't part of the venue. I prepared it specially for you.
How did you dig such a big hole in such a short period of time?
Heh, I'm a professional at digging traps. Achoo! I even lined the bottom of the hole with a layer of hay so that you wouldn't get hurt when falling. Alas... even though a certain person didn't choose me to be their teammate, I still have to take special care of them.
...
It's not possible for you to climb out of this trap without any help, but I've always been kind and helpful. I'll pull you up if you shout "I'll definitely pick Ein as my teammate in the future" out loud three times. How about it?
