Isekai Online's

Chapter 39 - Small Greeting

One day has passed.

In accordance with the results of discussions between Hans and Elliot, Diamond Doom became a suitable place for the Queen Order promotion background.

However, there is one big problem that must be solved by Hans is a giant skull attack that attacks the backyard of Hans' house.

To that end, Hans re-login into Isekai Online to solve this problem. Due to the fast-paced Isekai Online time compression system, four days have passed inside the Isekai Online game. The previously unsolved problem is now piling up higher.

Hans must solve a case that happened behind his house before the Queen Order team Login into the Isekai Online game. Moreover, that one small problem was in an abnormal case for the Detective Class. Hans' logical thinking had little trouble digesting what had happened.

In one of Diamond Doom's rooms, the Master Room, Hans, who has returned to Login, sits on one of the sofas and reads a book translated by Underground Class Maid.

Lilith visits the Upper Class Maid territory after Hans returns Online and hands over a book translated by Underground Class Maid. Lilith came along with her subordinates who looked like undead warriors.

The book held by Hans had an incredible thickness. There was an Arvis signature on the cover and Hans read through it page by page to ensure the order of the written language and information was in line with human understanding.

“Good work” said Hans to praise the performance of Underground Class Maid.

“But, it will be more perfect if you make a list of indexes and page numbers to make it easier to search the page.”

Hearing the minor criticism from their Master, Lilith and her subordinates immediately bowed and apologized.

“Pardon us, Master Hans. We can fix it now also” reply Lilith.

“Well, no need. You can fix it later. More importantly, what is your relationship with this Upper Class Maid? Siera, you can come in now!” noticing Siera peeking out from the sidelines of the Master Room door, Hans immediately called out to Siera to enter the Master Room.

The position of the Master Room entrance turned back to the direction of the light entering through the window. So, if there is a trace of light entering through the door gap signifies a deliberate looseness of the door density distance and Hans realizes this small gap due to a thin light trail coming out from the sidelines of the door.

Hearing his Master's orders, Siera immediately entered the Master Room with his subordinates.

“I don't know if the relationship between Upper Class Maid and Underground Class Maid is like this. As your Master, I forbid this attitude!” hans's remark made Siera's subordinates surprised. His eyes were now fixed on Lilith's subordinate who looked like an undead.

“Ah..so just like that” Hans noticed the cynical gaze that occurred between Upper Class Maid and Underground Class Maid.

“I understand now, this concerns your race matter apparently. Well, I'm not a picky person about race and I don't care about your race. If you guys are still useful, I will keep you guys to stay here.”

“More, because you live in the same place and only a few meters apart. I'll be very hard if you guys make unimportant problems.”

“You! Name your name and give me a reason why I hate Underground Class Maid?” hans said to Siera's subordinates.

“Hiiiiee!! N-My name is Sirius, M-Master Hans. I-I don't hate Underground Class Maid. It's just.. Umm.. their appearance was very creepy.” Siera subordinate named Sirius answered Hans' question nervously.

“Scarying?” Hans watched Lilith's subordinate closely.

The skin was pale white, the bruises were blackish blue, and the shards of iron armor embedded within his skin. Lilith's subordinate appearance was looking extremely sinister in the public eye.

In Hans's eyes, this abnormal appearance was a normal appearance for the Underground Class Maid. It was because Hans had known the kind of race that lived within the scope of the Underground Class Maid. Based on the Underground Class Maid contract records, most of the Maids living in the Diamond Doom dungeon forced their body shapes to become humanoid because their original body shapes that had giant sizes were not suitable for narrow dungeons.

This form of abnormal Undead was the most normal form for the Underground Class Maid, in contrast to Lilith who was a Succubus race. Lilith's near-normal human appearance lies in the genetics of the Succubus race that have evolved following their main food supply.

“Ah, this kind of appearance does look creepy? I'm gonna question the same thing. Name your name and give me a reason why I hate Upper Class Maid?” the same question was given to Lilith's subordinate.

“Master Hans, nice to meet you. My name is Shirayuki. My appearance is like an Undead but it is very different from an ordinary Undead. My race is Ochimusha, a race born by eating the souls of knights who died in battle and gave birth to a new monster figure that haunts the land of war. I don't hate Upper Class Maid. Merely, I have heard complaints from other old Demons regarding the discrimination that the Upper Class Maid” replied Lilith's subordinate.

“What is this related to the previous Master?” ask Hans.

Siera and Lilith nodded at each other.

“Oh, Mile.. It's worth it they hate mu” Hans muttered.

“Well, I don't want your complicated relationship to cause unimportant problems. From now on, don't fight in the Diamond Doom area. Understood?!” hans said with a tone of intimidation.

“Understanding, Master Hans!” say Upper Class Maid and Underground Class Maid together.

Rejecting their Master's orders would be a betrayal of Maid's code of conduct regarding loyalty. For Underground Class Maids who have a long life, their loyalty to the Master is an honor amongst other Underground Class Maids. On the other hand, the short-lived Upper Class Maid can be replaced if it violates the code of ethics of loyalty and will have trouble finding new jobs that require a guarantee of loyalty.

“So, why do you want to see me, Siera?” hans asked while looking at Siera.

“Um, Master Hans. There was actually a problem that occurred during Master Hans' departure. Especially about this problem.” Siera pulled out a newspaper containing a story about a giant skull.

Siera handed the paper to Hans.

Hans read the newspaper carefully. Newspaper he read has a red inscription that says “Emergency Quest! Hunt Giant Skeleton!” and evacuation orders for residents living around the Forest of Green Fairy.

“If not mistaken, Forest of Green Fairy is Diamond Doom's backyard right?” hans asked to be sure.

“Y-Yes, Master Hans. Right now, our backyard has been filled with Players and royal warriors guarding around the Forest of Green Fairy. Looks like they have formed a special party with Player to hunt down this giant skull” retorted Siera.

“Even the royal warriors are plunged into this matter, it seems that this problem has developed into a bigger problem. Am I too late to interfere?”

“I don't think so, Master Hans. Based on Arvis' analysis, the Demon Ancient Rune used was an ancient type that had long been left behind and the Nestrad Kingdom side did not know this” Lilith said to add information.

“For that one, I already know. Didn't we have discussed the Demon Ancient Rune engraved on the foreheads of our guests? Moreover, I have other information that is interconnected” Hans replied.

“But, the condition of the Forest of Green Fairy is quite crowded as well. I hope it doesn't bother the troublesome guests who will come” continued Hans.

Hearing Hans' words regarding the troublesome guests to come. Lilith and Siera suddenly stared at each other.

“Master Hans, should I greet them?” said Siera.

“Master Hans, should I kick them?” Lilith.

“O-Oh, so this is what makes the Upper Class Maid and Uderground Class Maid not get along. Your understanding is very different apparently. Well, they are troublesome guests but they are not enemies so treat them accordingly.”

[You get one friend request!]

A thin panel floated in front of Hans' character. The Isekai Online friendship request system is used to add friend list features and send private messages between players.

Before Hans Login entered Isekai Online, Elliot had asked the location of Diamond Doom. Due to its location adjacent to the Nestrad Kingdom and being on the border of the Forest of Green Fairy, its location was very easy to understand if it opened a map. However, there is a teleportation magic that is able to move from one place to another using a coordinate point. Elliot plans to use teleportation magic to shorten the time. Therefore, Elliot asked Hans to add his character to the friend list feature in order to find Hans more easily.

Diamond Doom is a private territory equipped with protection magic. Teleportation into the Diamond Doom cannot be done without the permission of the owner of the territory. Hans still did not understand the features that Diamond Doom provided and handed it over to Maid who was in charge of his duties.

“Haaah~ this will be a little tiring” muttered Hans while pressing the agree button.

[Our_Saviour_Elliot has entered the Friend List!]

[You got one incoming message from Our_Savior_Elliot!]

Right after Hans receives Elliot's friend's request, a private message goes into his inbox. The message that Hans can get is a template greeting that has been provided by the Isekai Online system and the core of the message is a request for Diamond Doom coordinate point information.

Hans sends the Diamond Doom coordinates in return and waits for Elliot's arrival.

Not long after Hans sent a reply, a small commotion rang out from within the Master Room. The small commotion was the sound of footsteps running fast and crashing into the entrance of the Master Room.

Siera who was standing near the entrance immediately opened the door of the Master Room. A Maid with cat ears is seen regulating her breathless breathing and covering the bruises on her red head.

“A-Aaau-A.. It hurts so much, S-Siera! H-How's this? A-There are some Players coming here, Nyaa!” said the Maid in a panicked tone.

“It's okay, they're guests of Master Hans” said Siera who tried to calm him down.

“Well, then I'll welcome them.”

Hans responded to his respect and stroked the head of the Maid, his actions giving a startling surprise between the Upper Class Maid and the Underground Class Maid. Hans walked away leaving the Master Room and rushed to meet Elliot at the entrance gate of Diamond Doom.

Throughout Hans's journey, the existence of the Master's degree and the owner of Diamond Doom was deeply felt. Upper Class Maid who saw Hans presence immediately paid respect and paused his work for a moment. Amidst his small journey, Hans realizes the ethical differences between the Upper Class Maid and the Underground Class Maid.

The Upper Class Maid contains the human race and the half-human race has a decency ethic that uses human ethical standards, such as bowing and trained body gestures. As for the Underground Class Maid who were in the long-lived race, their form of respect was a little beyond common sense like kneeling and bowing. The ethics created from the absolute dominance of the races that stood at the top.

Hans did not want to feel such a heavy burden, especially with the frequent disputes between the Upper Class Maid and the Underground Class Maid. On his small trip, Hans wanted to create a cozy atmosphere in Diamond Doom.

Hans did not want such discrimination to happen.

“This makes me curious, if the appearance of a herd of wolves can disrupt the forest ecosystem. Will the appearance of Underground Class Maid disrupt the Upper Class Maid ecosystem?”

“Isekai Online also has its own monster ecosystem right? If it uses the same logic as animals, then the emergence of Alpha predators will change the ecosystem itself. This sounds interesting, I will try it sometime.”

Hans thought of something unique and some other possibilities that could have happened if the Underground Class Maid moved freely out of the Diamond Doom dungeon. As far as Hans was concerned, the existence of the Underground Class Maid was an old Demon who did not want to disturb the outside world.

Hans had arrived at the exit of Diamond Doom, as Hans walked out and opened the exit. Hans saw a line of Upper Class Maid blocking the Diamond Doom gate.

The Upper Class Maid that blocked the entrance gate of Diamond Doom wore full weapons and thick armor lining the Maid uniform.

Hans rushed towards the entrance gate of Diamond Doom to understand the situation.

“Ekhem! Put your weapons down. These are my guests and Elliot! You want to visit this place or do Boss Raid?” hans said as he looked at the group of Players in front of him.

“Now..Where are you Elliot? Your appearance is much different from the real world so show yourself!” hans said with a loud tone.

“...”

“...”

“...”

Hans waited for an answer from the group of Players surrounding the entrance gate of Diamond Doom, but got no answer.

“Hmm? No answer?” Hans immediately turned around and walked back towards the entrance of Diamond Doom.

“Close the main gate and don't let them in. Uh! if they force their way in. Well, you guys can do a defensive attack right?” said Hans.

“H-Hey! I'm just kidding! Don't be so serious! Facing an NPC with Level 300 was already too late for me!” from behind the Player crowd, a person wearing a black robe and a long staff stick walked towards Hans.

“Elliot? Uh. I don't know what to say about this, but your character is. It's really like yourself in the real world well. Equally gloomy and makes me pity to see it” said Hans to quip the look of Elliot's character.

“Hey! Don't joke in situations like this. Ekhem! Even though my appearance is like this but my skills and status are very high!” refute Elliot.

Elliot's appearance looks like a mysterious figure covering his head with a black cloak and staff sticks shaped long plant stems wrapped around dark green roots. That appearance made him look like a suspicious stalker character.

“I don't want to boast of this account, but this character account is a specialist god of magic attacks and debuff areas. As long as I hold this staff stick, no one can approach and attack my character!” elliot said with pride.

“Oh, really?” Hans replied to her in a cold tone and felt her clothes pocket.

Hans pulled out his gun and opened the safety pin.

*craack!

“We need to try?” hans continued saying while pointing his gun at the head of Elliot's character.

“Emm.. You know. I was just kidding earlier.” Elliot replied in a flat tone.

“H-Hans.You know, fellow players can not attack each other Player unless the Player has activated Aggressive mode. Uh! Shit!” Elliot now realizes that Hans' Player status has been changed to Aggressive status.

“Emm.. can I write a will first?” said Elliot who resigned to the situation.

“What do you guys do?” from behind the group of Players gathered at the entrance gate of Diamond Doom, Okita walks out with the other Queen Order members.

The appearance of Okita and the Queen Order members has the same physical form as the real world. The difference is the Idol uniforms are wrapped in dangerous weapons on their bodies.

The Queen Order dress model is like the figure of the Queen who plunged into the battlefield by carrying weapons of mass destruction behind her. Their weapons varied greatly like a giant black scythe, a lance with an extremely long spiral engraving, a longbow with undulating arrow eyes, a longsword clad in sharp shards, and a longsword with sharp shards, the hovering book that seemed ready to explode if touched, the four flying staffs floated up like they wanted to cast their magic, and the flying magic sword was ready to pounce.

“Artoria Pendragon?” hans said to comment on the Queen Order clothing model.

“Hans, they're not here to compete for the holy grail. By the way.. Can you keep your gun out of my head area? If you can, please use Trigger Discipline correctly!” elliot Protest.

“Eh? I used it right. Especially in the pressing section of the trigger when preparing to shoot target” Hans replied.

“So I'm the target?!” reply Elliot quickly.

“Well, I don't want to interrupt your work. I was also busy taking care of one case that plagued my backyard.”

“Heh?! home yah?” said Elliot while looking at the outer view of Diamond Doom.

“In a luxury home like this? What's the problem?” ask Elliot.

“You want to know what the problem is? Well.. read this” Hans handed over the previously read newspaper.

Elliot receives Hans's newspaper and reads the news.

“Heee? What'sthis?! How fantasy! Did you find the culprit, Detective?” ask Elliot.

“Elliot, not all Detectives can find the culprit quickly. After all, the case I faced this time used the old technology of the old Demon race and it took me a lot of time to learn.”

“Hee. How far is your investigation? Is the information from Dark Lord Invasion helpful enough?”

“Yeah, quite helpful. At least I can find out the existence of a Spawner Item that needs to be found in this case.”

“Item Spawner? It would definitely be hard to find” replied Elliot who had a serious expression.

“If looking at the layout of the Spawner Items Guild Player had, they would definitely put the Spawner Item in a hidden place.”

“Em, sorry to interrupt your conversation. What are you guys talking about?” the little question came from Okita.

Hans and Elliot looked at each other and let out a long sigh.

“Detective this one is investigating a giant skull that attacked his home page” Elliot said as he handed over the newspaper given Hans.

“H-Huee? Hiiiieee!!” Okita receives Elliot's newspaper and is shocked to see a picture of a giant skull.

“I-This is a lie, right? It's CGI, right?” said Okita who tried to deny the contents of the news about the giant skull.

“Well, want to see it? But, please don't be surprised when you see it” Hans said with a smile.

“Y-Which is like this where there might be in this world right? Isn't this a fantasy world?” Okita still remained in his stance and denied the existence of a giant skull.

Since Okita still denies the existence of a giant skull, Hans deliberately invites the Queen Order members and Elliot to enter the Diamond Doom dungeon to visit the magic prison that holds the skull alive.

“HHHIIIIIIEEEEE!!” according to Hans' prediction. The Queen Order members were very surprised after seeing the corpse of a living skull with the remains of small flesh attached to its bones.

“This will be a new trauma for them, you're a fad too Hans.” Elliot said as he whispered into Hans' ear.

“Well, just think of this as a small welcome to the strange anomaly that occurred in Isekai Online” Hans replied.
