What Kind Of Newbie Are You?! They Said That “Summoner” Is A Terrible Job, Yet They Call Her The Last Boss - CH 25
T/N: Warning: Sexual Harassment.
In the deepest part of the Phantom Butterfly Forest, there was a temple-like structure. There’s a magic formation around the building that acts like a waterway, phantom butterflies dance over it, while a throne is placed in the center.
As Johann and the others approached, the phantom butterflies gathered, eventually becoming more humanoid, until an old man dressed in a gorgeous costume appeared.
“Well done,” the old man said. “I am the Fairy King. And this is the boundary that connects the Fairy Land and this world.”
The old man calling himself the Fairy King has pointed ears like an elf, and his white skin shines like a prism depending on the amount of light hitting him.
“Travelers, undertake my trial. If you can push through these challenges, I will give you the spirit of the butterflies.”
“Event Quest ‘The Fairy King’s Trial’ has been Activated.”
“It’s already started, huh?” Johann said.
“Yeah, is it a fight?” Zecca said, a belligerent smile on her face as she reached for the swords on her back.
“Wait, Travelers,” the Fairy King said. “I despise conflict. You are here to solve the riddles I have prepared for ones such as yourselves.”
“… A riddle, huh?” Remma said.
“It’s a type of quest I’ve never done before,” Johann said, tilting her head as she was troubled.
“Please leave this to me, Johann-san. I am good at solving riddles!” Zecca cried. “After all, I’ve got an IQ of 100!”
“Huh?” Johann and Remma go.
They question Zecca’s triumphant expression. Why is this kid proud of having an IQ of 100?
“I just said my IQ’s 100,” Zecca said.
“… That’s in the middle, Zecca,” Remma said.
“Huh… isn’t that a perfect score of 100?” Zecca said.
Her face turns red in a flash. If you like anime, you’re a genius with an IQ of 200! It’s only a trait of fictional characters, but it seems that Zecca has lived without noticing it until now.
“Then, you, the genius girl, with an IQ of 100. Take my test!” the Fairy King said.
“Even the Fairy King is making fun of me?!” Zecca yelled.
“Now, for my first trial!” the Fairy King cried.
A screen appears above his head, and five problems are written there.
“… What’s with this trial, is it a quiz?” Remma said.
“I was imagining a more advanced riddle solving or something like a puzzle,” Zecca said.
That said, the questions on the screen are about Genesis Omega Online, and they are quite challenging. Incidentally, Johann could not understand any one of them.
“What do we do?” Johann asked.
“…” Zecca quietly stepped forward then said, “1. Slime, 2. Five, 3. The Master Sword, 4. The King., 5. You bastard!!”
“All your answers are correct,” the Fairy King said.
It seems that the answers to the questions were in the right order. When Zecca is relieved that she got it right, she turns around and makes a fist pump.
“How’s about that?!” Zecca cried. “If it’s about GOO knowledge, I won’t lose to anyone!”
“You’re amazing, Zecca-chan,” Johann said.
“… You’re good,” Remma said.
“You do have an IQ of 100, don’t you?” the Fairy King said.
“Fairy King, please take it easy on me,” Zecca said.
With that, they passed the first trial. Then, the second trial begins.
“In this next quiz, your bonds will be tested,” the Fairy King said.
“In this trial, if 2 out of 3 questions are answered correctly, you will pass.”
The three take deep breaths.
“Then, this the first question,” the Fairy King said.
“How many men has Player Johann dated?”
“Wait a minute,” Johann said. “That’s not right! What? Hold up, do you even know the answer?”
“I don’t,” the Fairy King said. “After the other players answer correctly or not, the player in question will announce who is.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is,” Johann said. “That’s a relief… like hell, I can say that!”
“By the way, even if you lie about the correct answer to make your comrades win, it will be discovered, so be careful,” the Fairy King said.
“Uuu… this is difficult,” Johann said.
“… Onee-chan is attractive even from a girl like me… There’s no way the men would leave her alone…” Remma said.
“She is, isn’t she?” Zecca said. “Maybe 10… no, over 20, maybe?”
“… It could even be in the triple digits,” Remma said.
“No way… you two are taking this way more seriously than I thought…” Johann said.
After that, the two seriously thought about it, but apparently, they couldn’t find an answer. With a prayer-like pose, they spoke their guess:
“Five people!”
“Well, is it right? Oh? What’s the matter, Player Johann?” the Fairy King said.
(This Fairy King is annoying,) Johann said as she silently made an X with her arms.
“That is incorrect!” the Fairy King said.
“I’m sorry… Johann-san,” Zecca said.
“It doesn’t matter. We didn’t talk about it,” Johann said.
“… By the way, please tell me,” Remma said. “Is it more than 5 people or less than 5 people?”
“I want to know, too,” the Fairy King said.
“Fairy King, shut up for a second,” Zecca said.
“Um… it’s no more than five,” Johann said, blushing.
(I mean, I’ve never actually dated a man, but…) Johann thought, still blushing.
Since she was in an all-girls school for both middle and high school, she guessed it was inevitable.
“Well then, now that the tension has risen, let’s move on to the next question!” the Fairy King said.
“Isn’t this old bastard suddenly different from how he was at the start?” Zecca asked.
As they waited for the next question, the Fairy King started to grow even more excited.
“Now, the second question.”
“What is the most common color of underwear that Player Zecca owns?”
“Isn’t that sexual harassment!!?” Johann yelled.
“Haah, I’m about to faint…” Zecca said, her eyes frozen. It seemed they needed to clear this Event and then leave as soon as possible.
Like “The Torture of the Dark Elves,” it was an Event that made them terribly concerned about what management was thinking.
“But it’s a problem… so let’s think about it seriously,” Johan said.
“… That’s right,” Remma said. “Let’s make a guess based on Zecca’s prized equipment…”
They decide to take another look at Zecca’s equipment.
The base is a black leotard-like outfit called “Phantom Mirage”. And on the feet are boots with black armor called the “Phantom Boots”. In addition, she has a black jacket that looks like a cloak on her shoulders…
“I wonder if the answer is ‘Black’…?” Johann said.
“Right, isn’t it?” the Fairy King said. “Why wouldn’t it be? What color of underwear is the most common?”
“Black… is the correct answer,” Zecca said. “Very impressive, Johann-san.”
“Was… that right, I’m sorry,” Johann muttered.
“No, it’s okay. I only have black clothes, underwear, socks, and uniforms,” Zecca said as she stared at the Fairy King with dark, empty eyes that could have almost killed someone.
An awkward atmosphere develops. If it was between male players, it might have been a pretty lively Event, but having such a guessing game at a girls’ party turned the mood upside down.
“Well then, it’s the final question. Let’s get it started, shall we?” the Fairy King said.
“What is Player Remma’s favorite food?”
“Isn’t the quality of that question different from ours?!” Zecca yelled.
“Where did all the sexual harassment go?!” Johann yelled.
“What is it, isn’t Remma under 15? Wouldn’t it be shameful to ask a child that question? Or is it okay to sexually harass a girl under 15? What is going on with your sense of ethics?” the Fairy King said.
(I’m so mad~!!) Johann and Zecca both thought.
“Hurry, can you answer it quickly?” the Fairy King said.
“… Hmm. It’s my favorite food, huh~? It might be a little difficult, yeah,” Remma said.
The costumed gorilla scratched the back of her head with a little embarrassment. Johann and Zecca looked at each other and answered in unison.
“Banana.”
“And the answer is?”
“… That’s right! How did you two know that?” Remma said.
“Yeah…well… umm,” Johann said.
“Because we’re good friends with you, right, Remma-chan?!” Zecca said.
“Well done, you’ve passed the second trial,” the Fairy King said. “Next is the final trial. This one is the last and greatest trial. Your skill as a player will be tested. What is it…?”
“Final Trial. Defeat the Fairy King and demonstrate your power.』
Apparently, the final trial is a battle with the Fairy King.
“Johann-san, I’m so happy I’m going to be able to beat the enemy in front of me with my own hands!” Zecca said.
“Me too, Zecca-chan” Johann said. “Ufufufu… it looks like it’s going to be a fun battle, yeah?”
“I must warn you, I’m very strong… hmm?” the Fairy King said. “What’s going on? Why do you two look so happy? Huh…? Wait… hold up.”
….…
….…
What followed was not a battle. You could say it was a massacre where the strong robbed the weak of their dignity by thoroughly toying with them.
Thus, Johann and the others obtained the summoning stone of the strongest summoned beast, Pulelehua.
