What Kind Of Newbie Are You?! They Said That “Summoner” Is A Terrible Job, Yet They Call Her The Last Boss - Ch 19
Saturday, the day of the Event.
“UWAAAAAAHHHHH, AIKAWA-SENPAIIIIIIII, PLEASE SAVEEEEE MEEEEEEE!”
Kei was thinking of finishing her work by the end of the morning and then going home, but then her junior colleague came crying to her. She had no choice but to rework the order form that was full of mistakes, and before Kei knew it, her junior had disappeared.
“I’m soooo sorry, this looks like it’s going to take a while, so I’m going home first, okay?! I have a date with my boyfriend, so goodbye!”
She received one LINE message saying, “I’m sorry.”
“Haaa-haa……I’m sorry I’m late,” Johann said.
In the City of Beginnings in the first layer, Johann appeared in jet-black armor.
“… You barely made it,” Remma said.
“I was worried, Johann-san,” Zecca said. “I thought you got into an accident…”
“I’m late because of work…” Johann said.
And while they were relieved that she’d managed to join up in time, an announcement for the start of the Event rang out throughout the city.
“Sorry to have kept you all waiting! From now on, the First Treasure Event Will BE-GIN!”
“UUUOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!” the crowds cheered.
After that, when the rules of this event were repeated again, all the players were finally transferred to various locations in the first layer.
And, although it’s in-game, it’s going to be 3 days from their perspective. A long battle between the players has begun.
When Johann and the others opened their eyes, there was a forest spread out there. That said, as Johann had advanced to the second layer without spending much time in the first layer, she was unfamiliar with the land.
As they tried to figure out their location, Zecca observes their surroundings for anything familiar. In this Event where you can’t even bring in a map, the first thing a player should do is figure out where they are.
“Goblin Shaman, Predator Worm… this place is probably the Forest of Temptation,” Zecca said.
“Forest of Temptation?” Johann asked.
“If you look at it as a first layer zone, it’s fairly difficult,” Zecca said. “I don’t know much about it because I’ve got a bad experience with this place. I heard there were a lot of Hidden Events that were also limited-time.”
“You seem to know a lot,” Johann said.
“Yes. I do, but something must have changed with this Event…” Zecca said. “Let’s just be careful, shall we?”
And with that, the 3 of them immediately started searching, thinking that they wouldn’t have a hard time fighting the first layer enemies as they are now..
“Summoned beast call, Inukoro!”
A chibi dog-like monster appeared from within the geometrical magic circle.
“Wan-wan-wan,” Inukoro goes.
“You’re so fired up, Inukoro,” Johann said. “Now, let’s have a competition to see who can find the most items!”
“Wan-wan-wan!” Inukoro cried.
The two of them dash off.
“…… Wait,” Remma said.
“Oh, please don’t leave us~!” Zecca cried.
“Hmm, hold up,” Johann said. “I found an item right away.”
They were on an empty forest road. Johann stops in the middle of it. She can activate Inukoro’s Skill, “Item Finder.” Furthermore, since she has 6 copies of Inukoro, her power 6 times that of Inukoro by itself. A treasure chest appears when she touches a glowing spot on the ground.
“One High Potion……it’s an item that restores HP to max,” Zecca said.
“… It’s not a rare item, but it’s a necessary item,” Remma said.
The rules now do not allow players to bring in items other than the essentials for each job. Treasure chests will also come out with potions like those sold in regular shops.
“… It might have been better to bring someone who had a Production specialty,” Remma said.
A Production Job. In GOO, you can create various weapons and armor by increasing your Dexterity and making full use of the Skills obtained by clearing quests issued by craftsmen NPCs in town. It’s a popular way of playing because if you master it, you can even produce armor that even top players like Roland would love.
“It’s well done, isn’t it? All kinds of people from all kinds of walks of life can do something to help,” Zecca said.

“… Well, let’s enjoy ourselves at our own pace,” Remma said.
“Ah, Remma-chan, Zecca-chan! Something’s come up on my radar!” Johann cried.
The two of them looked at each other, they realized Johann had found her 6th item before they knew it, laughed, then ran off to keep from being left behind.
“Someone is approaching…”
It’s about an hour later. Johann and her friends had legged it deep into the forest and collected enough potions, though they didn’t get many rare items.
At that time, Zecca glared at the other side of the forest and pulled out her sword from her back.
When Johann and Remma sensed someone running toward them, a female player appeared from behind some bushes.
“What a relief… I’m so glad there’s other—KYAAAAAHH?!”
Little wonder she screamed. This female player, her name is [Caron]. In the depths of this forest, she encountered a gigantic monster and was running around looking for other players to help her.
And when she finally found them, there was a swordsman in black, a gorilla, and a dark armored Demon King in the middle of them. It wouldn’t be surprising if she misunderstood that she had encountered a new boss monster.
“Ah, umm, can you help me…?!” Caron asked.
“Huh?” all three of them went.
After listening to her story, it seems that this player, Caron, had participated in this Event with her boyfriend, but it seems that their starting point was pretty bad.
She said it was probably the middle of the Dark Elf Village. Dark elves are formidable enemies who use abnormal status spells. She said that the two of them were still level 10 and were no match for them, so the boyfriend let Caron escape and was trapped alone.
“Seriously, participating in an event with your boyfriend…” Zecca muttered as she got angry. “What are we supposed to do with you lovebirds?”
“Zecca-chan, your jealousy is leaking out,” Johann said.
“… But, it’s strange,” Remma said.
“What?”
“What’s wrong?”
Caron and Johann both tilt their heads at Remma’s words.
“It’s just as Remma-chan says, it’s strange,” Zecca said. “Your boyfriend has been caught, hasn’t he?”
“Yeah… come on, look at the menu. He’s still alive, isn’t he?” Caron said.
She showed off her party screen, where you could track the members’ stats. Although his HP has halved, her boyfriend is still alive.
“Could it be…?” Zecca muttered, putting a hand to her chin as if she remembered something. “Dark elves, they don’t kill you right away, but they capture you…… maybe this is a Hidden Event called the ‘Torture of the Dark Elves’.”
“Dark Elf torture?” Johann asked.
“…I’ve heard about it,” Remma said. “There was an Event that was immediately banned because of the complaints from female players.”
“Torture… that’s not a very good thing, is it?” Johann asked.
“Yes, I heard from someone who actually participated,” Zecca said. “He said, ‘This is the first time I’ve experienced such a harsh event. I was a man, so I could endure it, but a woman wouldn’t be able to endure it. So you’d better not to go. No, really, don’t go.’ What if this banned Hidden Event came back?”
Caron covers her face after hearing Zecca’s words.
“I-I wonder what kind of terrible things they’re doing to him right now! All because… of me…”
“… No, I’m sorry to be rude… but, this is a game…” Remma said.
Johann also understands what Remma wants to say. Aside from being in another world, this is a VR game. Even though it hurts, you’ll be fine in the end. It’s not as painful as it sounds.
If there were such unbearable consequences from torture, the servers would be forced to shut down immediately.
“But, if they took it too far, so they banned it due to the flood of complaints, right?” Zecca asked.
“M-My boyfriend… he’s going to be murdered,” Caron said, panicking.
“Anyway, let’s go there at once,” Johann said.” We might be able to help. Caron-san, please guide us.”
“Huh, can you help me?” Caron said.
“Of course,” Johann said. “Besides, I’m curious about what kind of Event it is.”
Karon wanted to help her boyfriend. So, Johann, Zecca, and Remma headed to the Dark Elf Village deep in the Forest of Temptation in the hopes of a rare item.
