As you can see from the report,
the area that Helba mentions is as close to infected as possible.
I propose we execute the operation.

Operation name: “Operation Breakwater

Gather in Net Slum.
Dismissed.

After receiving Wiseman’s email, we gathered together again at Net Slum.

However, the number of people present was several times larger than the previous time.

This was because everyone involved in the operation had been summoned.

Same as last time, it was me, BlackRose, Wiseman, Lios, Helba.

As well as the residents of Net Slum and the Pig Squadron.

And the friends I became acquainted with while adventuring.

Elk also appeared, but Mia still wasn’t to be found.

Wiseman gave a speech in front of everyone.

According to him, “Operation Breakwaterwas a name that meant to attack and extinguish waves. Initially, it seemed that he was considering a name using a product name of a wave-dissipating concrete block, but from the system administrator side it was pointed out that it is not desirable to use a product name in the name of our operation,so the name was changed to the current name.

I think the first plan is easier to understand and cooler. It can’t be helped for that reason.

That’s all for my talk,” Wiseman said.

Finally, I would like to ask you to say hello.”

Then he looked at me.

Are you ready? So, Kite. If you please.”

Huh?”

I looked back at Wiseman like Elk had done to me.

Hey,” Helba said.

Yeah,” Lios said.

Hmm,” Balmung said.

It won’t start unless you say so,” BlackRose said.

Oh no, suddenly I was shaken.

I stood in front of everyone.

And I hesitated to speak.

This was like introducing myself to a new school all over again.

And soon, I thought no.

I shouldn’t overdo it. Just some words to move forward.

When I thought this, the words just naturally came out.

I understand that the operation name given by Wiseman means that even if each person can’t do anything by themselves, if we work together like a breakerwater, the power of the mighty waves can be neutralized. Please lend your strength, everyone.”

“Commence the operation from you, the one who has the bracelet!” Balmung said.

Make a quick decision,” BlackRose said.

To us–”

I cut off my words and took a deep breath.

May the blessings of the Twilight Dragon be upon you! Operation Breakwater commence!”

“Roger that!”

Sigma Server Chatting Plotting Twins had been completely contaminated.

At the deepest part of the area, waiting for BlackRose, Balmung and I were two pairs of flimsy, lithograph-like monsters in the shape of drops.

We were forcibly transferred as usual, fought as usual, and hit the data drain as usual. I was able to confirm the name as “Gorre.”

The timing was bad for the opponent.

After all, we had just announced the start of the operation and we were enthusiastic.

Even if Skeith were to come out to fight as well, we could beat it. Such was the momentum we had.

After we had defeated Gorre, I received a short email from Helba.

Θ Theta Server. I caught a large fluctuation in data. This size is… probably the main body of The Cursed Wave. I’m transferring there.”

The main body of the Cursed Wave.

In other words, it was the cause of the series of incidents.

We finally caught it.

If we defeated it, those in a coma would surely recover.

Yasuhiko would return.

There were three more waves. I could count them on one hand.

Did it run away? The counterattack has started,” Balmung muttered.

“A counterattack? No.”

I shook my head.

What creator Harold Hoerwick wanted in The World.

Aura’s growth.

“We finally understood the real rule of the game Harold made.”

It is to help Aura.
