Chapter 3: The Strongest Fleet Arc

Chapter 130: Side Story — Thread About Sato Fisheries Co., Ltd. ①

【Discussion Board for Information Exchange About the Explorer Party "Sato Fisheries Co., Ltd."】

1  Future Awakened

 This is a thread about the video stream of the explorer party "Sato Fisheries Co., Ltd." I rushed to make it when I heard SS-san was the one who filmed it this time.

 The info says it'll be streaming soon, so let's wait in seiza.

2 Future Awakened

 >1 Thx for makin' the thread

3 Future Awakened

 >1 I came running when I heard it was a video filmed by SS-dono

4 Future Awakened

 Oh, so a thread got made, huh. Pardon the intrusion~

5 Future Awakened

 I heard Sato Fisheries was streaming too, so I went and bought a Sato Fisheries bento from a nearby shopping mall

6 Future Awakened

 >5 What a coincidence. Me too

7 Future Awakened

 >5 I wasn't the only one!

8 Future Awakened

 >5 Got one sittin' right here in front of me too!

9 Future Awakened

 Oh, looks like it's about to start

10 Future Awakened

 Alright, charge!

11 Future Awakened

 Setting sail!

12 Future Awakened

 >11 Nice one

13 Future Awakened

 Whoa!? Dual screen!?

14 Future Awakened

 The screen's split!?

15 Future Awakened

 It's a double screen, dammit!?

16 Future Awakened

 Is that the transfer room and the entrance?

17 Future Awakened

 Whoa, so it's the front and the back view!

18 Future Awakened

 Isn't this amazing!?

19 Future Awakened

 So cool!

20 Future Awakened

 They're properly promoting the company from the back view (lol)

21 Future Awakened

 Sato Fisheries Co., Ltd.!

22 Future Awakened

 These guys quit the company but they're still so loyal

23 Future Awakened

 >22 Wait, really?

24 Future Awakened

 Already got a good feeling about this

25 Future Awakened

 >23 Back when they first became explorers, the company took care of 'em, so they're still repaying the favor

26 Future Awakened

 Oh, the drone can transfer on its own too? Didn't know that

27 Future Awakened

 Scouting AND guiding? They're pulling out all the stops!?

28 Future Awakened

 Looks like they signed up for the full option package

29 Future Awakened

 >25 My respect for these guys just shot way up!

30 Future Awakened

 Well with this kind of service, you'd wanna request 'em every time

31 Future Awakened

 Getting to see the recon view and the explorers' situation at the same time? That's just plain amazing

32 Future Awakened

 Rapid Wolves. As always, they find 'em fast

33 Future Awakened

 They're signaling with two light blinks!

34 Future Awakened

 Alright, let's see what they've got

35 Future Awakened

 Saving their magic, huh

36 Future Awakened

 Flashlight!

37 Future Awakened

 Eye-blind!

38 Future Awakened

 They're exploiting it to the fullest lol

39 Future Awakened

 Both the explorer perspective AND the monster perspective!?

40 Future Awakened

 This is like a VR game, man!?

41 Future Awakened

 This dual perspective is way too innovative!

42 Future Awakened

 I mean, the first Flashlight basically settled it lol

43 Future Awakened

 The Rapid Wolves are crashin' into each other

44 Future Awakened

 The preemptive arrow already finished it lol

45 Future Awakened

 Yeah, they can definitely save their energy

46 Future Awakened

 No turn needed for Kawahara-san and Mizuhara-san

47 Future Awakened

 Scouting, guiding, combat support, AND this filming quality... what's going on inside SS-san's head, seriously?

48 Future Awakened

 That's "saving energy" taken to a whole 'nother level!

49 Future Awakened

 >47 That's beyond just multitasking

50 Future Awakened

 These guys feel like upper-tier even among D-ranks, maybe?

51 Future Awakened

 At a glance, their movements look pretty good

52 Future Awakened

 Four guys and none of them acting flashy — that's nice too

53 Future Awakened

 They were working adults, so knowing proper courtesy is a high point too

54 Future Awakened

 Having a Water Mage is a big deal too

55 Future Awakened

 >54 Magic's effective against monsters, but apparently people barely ever awaken to it

55 Future Awakened

 Kawahara-san is so sturdy and cool

56 Future Awakened

 If only I'd awakened to a mage job too...

57 Future Awakened

 >55 Uh, you're a guy, right?

58 Future Awakened

 >54 Thinking about it that way, this might be a party that's gonna climb even higher from here

59 Future Awakened

 I admire polite, mature men

60 Future Awakened

 Hmm? Are... more feminine-sounding posts popping up?

61 Future Awakened

 >60 Well, half the world is women, after all

62 Future Awakened

 Still, they're going smoothly

63 Future Awakened

 If they're upper D-rank, E-rank's gotta be a cakewalk, right

64 Future Awakened

 What I'm thinkin' is, SS-han's probably the one who's really outstanding

65 Future Awakened

 >64 That's for sure

66 Future Awakened

 A mysterious super-skilled cameraman who never reveals his identity... I'm swooning

67 Future Awakened

 >66 His identity aside, his skills are pretty much out in the open though lol

68 Future Awakened

 I've been watching mainly from the monster perspective, and... I'm starting to feel kinda sad

69 Future Awakened

 >68 Now that's a new way to enjoy it!

70 Future Awakened

 I'd never really thought about it, but from the monsters' point of view you can see how much coordination and ingenuity goes into it — it's really educational

71 Future Awakened

 >68 We've never been able to watch from the monster's perspective before, after all

72 Future Awakened

 Ahh, the coordination is definitely educational

73 Future Awakened

 When you get to high-rankers, seems like they really think about the monster's line of sight and blind spots when they move

74 Future Awakened

 Might be a little inappropriate to say, but if the opponent were even higher-level monsters, it might actually get even more interestin'

75 Future Awakened

 Wait, if you analyzed how the monsters move in response to the explorers' movements, wouldn't you be able to figure that out?

76 Future Awakened

 >75 Are you a genius!?

77 Future Awakened

 Ounabara-san's gentlemanly side is wonderful

78 Future Awakened

 Well, for now, looks like we can relax and enjoy watching for a while

372 Future Awakened

 Starting from the eleventh floor and reaching the fifteenth in three hours — not a bad pace

373 Future Awakened

 >372 Not just "not bad" — that's a pretty insane pace, isn't it

374 Future Awakened

 That's 'cause they've got SS-han guiding 'em

375 Future Awakened

 They're clearing the shortest route while conserving energy, after all. They could probably enter the boss fight in really good shape like this

376 Future Awakened

 Their luggage is being carried too, so their stamina doesn't seem to be dropping much either

377 Future Awakened

 As expected of the full option package lol

378 Future Awakened

 Oh, meal time

379 Future Awakened

 Food!

380 Future Awakened

 Been waitin'!

381 Future Awakened

 You guys, are you ready!

382 Future Awakened

 I knew it!

383 Future Awakened

 Right!?

384 Future Awakened

 It's a Sato Fisheries Co., Ltd. bento!!

385 Future Awakened

 Looks genuinely tasty

386 Future Awakened

 Same bento as Kawahara-aniki!

387 Future Awakened

 I've got the same one as Ounabara-san

388 Future Awakened

 I'm matching with Mizuhara-san!

389 Future Awakened

 I've got the same as Ikeda-ossan over here!

390 Future Awakened

 Everyone's got Sato Fisheries bentos ready, huh

391 Future Awakened

 >389 Why is Ikeda-san the only one without the "hara"...

392 Future Awakened

 Tasty!

393 Future Awakened

 Ahh, now I'm craving a seafood bento...

394 Future Awakened

 Gonna go buy one tomorrow for sure

395 Future Awakened

 Ordered online

396 Future Awakened

 Man, they eat so deliciously though

397 Future Awakened

 They casually positioned it so the label's visible too lol

398 Future Awakened

 Still scouting even during meals, huh. Way too competent

399 Future Awakened

 Ahh, doing patrols for them

400 Future Awakened

 Tactics change massively depending on whether SS-san's there or not

401 Future Awakened

 >400 Getting too used to SS would be dangerous

402 Future Awakened

 >401 Ain't that the truth

403 Future Awakened

 >401 ikr

474 Future Awakened

 Oh my, three Ferocious Wolves and two Bark Wolves — isn't that pretty rough?

475 Future Awakened

 Five wolves!?

476 Future Awakened

 If they could use the wide space to hide well... no, that's impossible, huh

477 Future Awakened

 Ahh, this is bad

478 Future Awakened

 Hmm, picking 'em off one by one's the safest bet

479 Future Awakened

 So they're gonna lure them out one at a time?

480 Future Awakened

 If the lure fails, all five at once...

481 Future Awakened

 Huh, decoy?

482 Future Awakened

 What? Did they just say decoy?

483 Future Awakened

 Is something like that even possible?

484 Future Awakened

 He's never said something was impossible before, but...

485 Future Awakened

 If the drone can disappear, then it might work

486 Future Awakened

 >485 That's the trick!?

487 Future Awakened

 A zero-risk decoy? That's way too cheaty

487 Future Awakened

 They went for the Bark Wolves first, huh. Definitely the best choice for luring, but

488 Future Awakened

 All five at once!

489 Future Awakened

 Are they okay?

490 Future Awakened

 The Sato Fisheries members seem affected by the roar... but the drone isn't affected?

491 Future Awakened

 So roars don't work on drones!?

492 Future Awakened

 Whoa, the roar has no effect lol

493 Future Awakened

 Not even a problem

494 Future Awakened

 That's a perfect decoy

495 Future Awakened

 Casually slipping right through

496 Future Awakened

 Properly checking for places without people — good drone

497 Future Awakened

 >496 If they don't do that, it's a train coming through!

498 Future Awakened

 SS's support has been flawless up to this point

499 Future Awakened

 >498 It's so flawless you might let your guard down

500 Future Awakened

 >499 They're a D-rank party, so they should be fine

501 Future Awakened

 Flag lol

502 Future Awakened

 They went and said stuff like "we've got energy to spare"...

503 Future Awakened

 Two Bark Wolves, huh

504 Future Awakened

 Having two roars to deal with is something to watch out for

505 Future Awakened

 If they get roared at back-to-back, that'd be dangerous

506 Future Awakened

 Now, what'll they do!

507 Future Awakened

 Starting with the drone, huh. Makes sense

508 Future Awakened

 They made 'em use the roar

509 Future Awakened

 Insanely helpful

510 Future Awakened

 And then the Flashlight!

511 Future Awakened

 The guaranteed-win pattern!

512 Future Awakened

 Ah! They dodged!

513 Future Awakened

 The Bark Wolves are thinking too

514 Future Awakened

 I was watching from the monster perspective so that sent a chill down my spine

515 Future Awakened

 Water magic incoming!

516 Future Awakened

 Water magic here!

517 Future Awakened

 It's water magic but it's hot!

518 Future Awakened

 Water Edge!

519 Future Awakened

 Aiming for the throat is way too insane!

520 Future Awakened

 They sealed the roar!?

521 Future Awakened

 Escort for the two gentlemen!

522 Future Awakened

 They look so incredibly happy!

523 Future Awakened

 Well, they know no roar is coming

524 Future Awakened

 Just flat-out strong!

525 Future Awakened

 As expected of D-rank!

526 Future Awakened

 So cool!

527 Future Awakened

 If you got filmed like this, of course you'd be happy

528 Future Awakened

 Ikeda-san! Nice camera switching!

529 Future Awakened

 They landed it clean this time

530 Future Awakened

 Now that it's over, it was a total cakewalk

531 Future Awakened

 Getting the preemptive strike was too strong

532 Future Awakened

 All thanks to SS-sama

533 Future Awakened

 And the drone heads off to scout again like nothing even happened
