Remember, everyone, this is the final battle.
Our objective is to capture the fort and defend it until time is up.
The fort is currently being occupied by Wallenstein.
We're taking the fort from them.
Our hurdle is already pretty high.
No, I don't think that will be a problem.
The fort is probably empty.
Why do you think so?
Because we heard as much from him, personally.
Defending is no fun.
We enjoy conquering others who are desperately trying to defend.
That's what he said.
I'm surprised you would go talk to someone who did that to us.
No, it's just like you two to endear yourselves to that alpha geek.
No, not "you two."
It was Ako who endeared herself.
Huh?
Rusian, you're the one who said we should go!
So, it will be easy to capture the fort?
Not necessarily.
There will be other guilds coming after the fort, too.
Even after taking the fort, defending it the whole time will be hard.
Just like we had it taken from us last time.
Let me at it, both attacking and defending!
I'll show off the results of my practicing!
The problem is the end game.
They probably...
...will be coming again.
Mm-hmm.
The mighty mercenary guild, Wallenstein.
We owe those guys, big time.
My net game wife is a girl online!
Huh?
Isn't Phine-kun here?
Apparently, it's his child's field day.
Huh?
So that means that I'm the only tank?
I am sincerely grateful that so many of you have come together in response to our request.
We, the "Alley Cats," which is to say, stray cats...
...along with Nekohime's Elite Guard, will, for the duration of this fight,
be the Stray Cat-Princess Elite Guard!
How come?
We stand with Nekohime-sama!
You mean, "Alley Cats" means stray cats?
You didn't know that?
Siege warfare is now commencing.
All right, I'm getting fired up!
Oh, yeah!
Let's do our best, Mu-tan!
Let us carve our victory on the dawn's horizon!
Stray Cat-Princess Elite Guard, move out!
The enemy got there first!
There are over thirty of them!
Emperor Sword, huh?
The group that we defeated the last time.
Wait, you're here, Yuyun?
Yes, I am!
They got in before us.
Switch from defensive posture to attack!
Bring down the fort!
We'll get the siege weapon ready, okay?
Please.
Fire!
Charge!
For our Nekohime-sama!
Drive the enemy out!
Get them, get them!
Grant me victory meow!
Damn!
We can't seem... to break through!
Aren't we a little short on teammates?
Gi moving out!
Infantry gi moving out!
Decoy gi moving out!
Transport gi moving out!
That's a lot of gies!
We don't need gies at the moment!
We don't have enough material!
We need to have more people on the material-gathering team!
There are too many gies and not enough teammates!
Sette-san overdoing things is working against us!
Damn!
We don't have enough tanks!
We can't get through!
If we could just get an opening for a second...
You want to make an opening?
Well theeen...
Everyone, hold on just a little bit longer!
The Black Magician is on his way now!
Oops, wrong crowd.
What was that open chat for?
Nishimura-kun, you guys say something, too.
Not true! They aren't coming!
TMW isn't coming.
No problem!
Okay, Akane!
Now! Go on!
Huh? Now?
Hurry!
There's no way they're coming! Way too implausible!
Doesn't even rise to the level of a bluff!
You're mine!
Take this, finishing move!
Ran! Ran!
Ran-ran! Ran!
As long as I can ran-ran, I don't care if I die.
As long as I hit twice, I'm ahead!
Such is my Akane style!
See? You got through, right?
How did you know the timing of their replies?
Rusian, I'm scared of her.
Rush the front line!
Push through!
Come back for the stronger opponents later!
Make sure to pick off the weaker ones first!
That's brutal.
Take that!
I'm putting it in.
Fort Cantor has been captured by Alley Cats.
All right!
We did it!
I'm a hundred times happier than last week!
I know!
Keep on your toes.
We'll be defending right away.
Twenty minutes left.
If we can defend this...
All forces, charge!
Huh?
Charge?
Ako!
Eyes on me!
Why is our mage out front?
Remember, Ako!
Watch only me!
W-What do you mean by that?
I mean this!
Stop them!
That much stamina...?
What's going on?
Ako!
Right!
Extra Damage!
This...
This... is my attack power!
What can I say?
Ako, good job.
Huh?
Right!
Timing-wise, I think my ExDam got in, too.
Sensei, take a hint.
Ten minutes left.
Just about time.
Here comes the real fight.
Enemy attack!
What's the enemy breakdown?
There are five of them!
It's Wallenstein!
They're here.
I knew you would be coming... Bats.
However, we're not giving this up.
Repel them!
Show them what we're made of!
Oh, yeah!
Rusian's squad, maintain the 2nd defensive line with your lives!
Roger!
Schwein's squad, stand by in the inner courtyard!
If they get inside, launch a surprise attack!
Yeah!
Here they come! Fire!
Schwein!
Let's go, you guys!
Hmm...?
They know what you're up to!
No news to me!
Damn!
This is hopeless after all?!
It's not... hopeless!
Hey, those White Elixirs go for 500K each!
How many did you just drink?
I'm not fooling around here, either!
Ran-ran!
That's all I've got, huh?
I'm not much use, am I?
Don't be absurd.
You're our MVP.
Two more minutes?
Time and enough to spare.
You bastard...
Well, do your worst—
Yoo-hoo, Bats!
Yikes, we used our skills!
Niaow!
Charge!
Bats, when people sacrifice themselves, this is how they do it.
Shut up, you scrub!
He's stunned!
Two men down!
Three to go!
Two to go!
I'm done for!
You bastard..!
You'll pay for that!
Hi there.
Tank-on-tank, this is going to be a wet noodle fight.
Oh, that's right!
My stun is about the only thing that can stop Bats!
Damn it!
Nishimura, hurry!
You're the only one who can protect the crystal!
I know, but this guy is...!
Don't worry.
I'm still here.
One more minute, and one more person.
This is too easy!
That chat now leaves you 55 seconds.
Your typing speed isn't that great.
Master!
Huh?
Master, you're alive?
No way, hold on!
You can't possibly be doing that!
Come here a second, Koro!
This one's dangerous!
Throw a stun, quick!
I won't let you!
Damn!
Watch out, Master!
A stun is coming!
Get out of there!
I can't run away!
If they get through here, it's all over!
You'll die!
No, you don't!
Cheep-cheep...
Out of the way!
Well done, Ako!
Nice!
Ako, you're tops!
Huh?
You're complimenting me, even though I died?
All right!
Master, come on!
You have to win!
Is that all the power you've got, Bats?!
Damn it, for real, die already!
Three...!
Two...!
One...!
Zero!
Siege warfare is now at an end.
You're kidding, right?
TMW has been instated as the lords of the imperial palace Lodestone.
The Aristocrats have been instated
as the lords of the great citadel Gramberg.
The Cleaning Crew has been instated as the lords
of the Templar Fortress of Ray Sword.
The Alley Cats have been instated as the lords of Fort Cantor.
Hooray!
We won!
We did it!
You see that?
In your face, Wallenstein!
Right in your face!
Nekohime-sama is victorious!
All glory to our goddess!
You have my admiration, everyone!
We made it!
Well done, men!
Gi moving out!
He doesn't have to.
This fort is now ours!
Hey, are you out of your mind, what you just did?
What's this, losers weepers?
I did not lose.
Every time I hit you, you used a Drop of Ygg, right?
Huh?
"Drop of Ygg"?
You mean a Drop of Yggdrasil?
The ones that are 10M each?
How many did you drink?
Let's see...
I had five hundred of them before the battle,
and I have thirteen left.
That victory came on surprisingly thin ice, huh?
You drank refresh potions, right?
Taking this castle doesn't even earn you 5M.
What are you, an idiot?
For that matter, where did you come up with that much money?
That's not an amount you can typically earn by just playing.
I didn't come up with it from anywhere.
I just sold the items in my inventory that I didn't need.
"That you didn't need"?
That still wouldn't raise that much.
All I did was get rid of my mystery box and premium bonus items I received.
In other words...
...real money.
That's full-blown RMT, isn't it?!
It's not against the terms of use.
How rude.
How many tens of thousands did you spend?
I only used one coin.
Surely not.
Listen, Bats, I'll tell you the truth.
Even if it was in the millions, as long as it's for my friends, it was one coin!
That's a terrible waste of money.
No.
This was the second-most beneficial use of my money in my life.
This one really is nuts.
But that's okay.
I still like you!
Master you endear yourself to weirdoes, too.
That doesn't please me in the least.
Ugh, so it was money after all, huh?
I guess Master really is Master.
Come to think of it, Master...
What?
Remember when you said...
...it was the second-most beneficial use in your life?
Mm-hmm.
Then, what was the first?
Do you even have to ask?
The time I gained my partner here, of course.
How was it?
You charged in and got hacked to pieces like crazy.
Any regrets?
No.
I am quite satisfied.
I'm glad I made the effort.
Right?
Okay, now we have the actual culture festival.
Hang in there.
Quite busy in here, huh?
Compared to the other clubs, it may not be a turnout to boast about.
Yeah, well...
Still, for us, this is a shot we can be proud of.
Yo.
Wow, imagine working this hard for the culture festival.
Don't talk to me like we're friends, would you?
Right, right.
Who'd have thought I could ever talk normally to you like this, Nishimura?
Now you say this?
We talk normally in the club room and while gaming, right?
The game and reality are separate, aren't they?
Here.
Y-Yeah.
Well, you did pretty well all around today, so here's a fighting-spirit prize.
Isn't grilled pork cannibalism?
Who are you calling a pig?!
Aren't you going to see the displays in the other club rooms?
I said I wasn't going to, didn't I?
You're going to Ako's anyway, right?
Well, yeah.
Throw your trash away.
Thank you.
Well, see you later...
...partner.
Yo, Nishimura!
You came after all, huh?
You like this too, huh?
I can't take any more!
Ako!
Huh?
Rusian?
Hey!
What good will running away do?!
But...
Come on, come on, go back.
Welcome home, dear.
Listen, that's not what a maid says...
Well, it can't be helped.
She's not a maid...
She's my wife.
Man, what are Master and the others doing, not cleaning up with us?
The culture festival was fun, huh?
Right?
Well?
This regular school life isn't so bad, is it?
Yes.
But that's because Rusian is here, Schew-chan is here, Master is here...
...and there's this club too.
That's how I feel.
Still, Ako, you really hung in there for this culture festival.
Yes.
I even think so, myself.
You were even the head maid.
P-Please don't remind me of that.
Yeah, but really, you did well.
Then, give me some kind of reward!
All right, anything you want, just name it.
Oh, you just said anything I want, right?
Hold on!
By reward, I meant something from the game!
Big news!
This next update is going to feature housing functionality!
We're not interrupting, are we?
Huh?
O-ho...
Ugh, what are you two getting so heated up over, all by yourselves?
No, no, it wasn't like that!
What?!
You said you would do anything I wanted, didn't you?!
H-Hey!
You can't do anything indecent on school grounds!
It's not that!
I told you, the reward has to be from the game!
It's the same either way, isn't it?!
It's not the same!
The game and reality are separate!
But why?!
