42 The Start Of Chaos In 【Only Sense Online】
※~・Arc 4: Quest, Dungeons, Dungeon Masters… Everything's About Dungeons!・~※
Hey, Shun here!
I'll help out my friends learn how to play [Only Sense Online] while we're simultaneously playing [New World Online]. However, I recommended to the to focus on [OSO] first before [NWO] since we only really needed to hunt monsters to level up easily while in [OSO], they need to catch up.
I didn't know that juggling between games could be this hard. I should ask my parents to make [OSO] only for night time so that I could switch games and not get left behind while doing so.
Neat, right?

(Shun's POV)
The next day, after logging in, the first thing I saw was a message about an incoming friend request. Correction, friend requests.
The only way you can add a friend in [Only Sense Online] is if you know their Stream account. The thing is, only a few people know my stream account.
There's Shizuka-nee, Miu, Taku, and my friends in the [Group Chat]. Looking at how many friend requests I got last night, it looks like these are from my friends from the [Group Chat].
"Oh, let's see. It's Kaede-san with her usual Maple username, Pochi with the username of Kannami… Did she type it wrongly? Tama as SakuraNeko, Rikka-san as WickedLord, Satania-san as RedArchdemon, and Mutsuko as Dream."
Aside from Kaede-san, they chose different usernames.
I immediately accepted all of their friend requests and watched as I saw their icons appear in my friend list, all the while indicating that they are currently online. As an aside, Sei-nee and Miu are also already online.
Oh, looks like Mutsuko-san, Pochi, and Tama are trying to contact me.
✽✽[Inbox]✽✽
Pochi: [Admin-san]!(Unread)
Mutsuko: Hey Shun-chan! Or should I call you Syun-chan? Can you go to the city plaza? We're all here!(Unread)
Tama: [Admin]~!(Unread)
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
I immediately checked all of their messages and replied to all of them before heading to the plaza by foot. There's no teleportation here until you reach the next towns.
Well, those were just teleportation between towns though.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
(Shun's POV)
It took me a few minutes to reach the town and saw everyone being pestered by lots of male players. I figured this would happen.
These girls are beauties of their own right, after all. Oh, looks like Satania-san even customized her avatar to have cute little devil horns and a tail.
Tama have pink hair and pink eyes while Pochi have white hair and red eyes. Kaede-san also changed her hair and eye color to blonde and blue, Rikka-san have the same appearance as her avatar in [NWO], black hair and heterochromatic eyes, while only Mutsuko-san kept her real appearance.
No time to gawk at them. I gotta save them from their current predicament.
While I approach the group, Pochi and Tama was the first to notice me. Wait, is it SakuraNeko and Kannami now?
"Admin~!"
"You're here nanodesu! Those people are bad nodesu! They're bullying us nanodesu!"
Seeing the two run to me, the male players who seems to be harassing them noticed me. For a good three seconds, they just looked at me in shock before they finally recovered.
"Y-You, a-are you that guy from that viral video?" One of the guys said with his voice shaking.
Hmm? What does he mean? Which video?
"Uh… Umm… We were sorry. We were just talking to them politely!"
"Really? Right, you girls should have used [GM Call] on them. They'll be banned from the game once they're proven of doing harassment."
"I totally forgot about that…"
Don't forget about it Mutsuko-san! You're the older sister here, take care of them!
That aside, I should focus on the matter at hand.
"So? Are you guys going to leave or do you want me to make you leave. This is a safe zone but I could totally still hurt you with my arrows although with lower pain settings…"
That's right, you could hurt people in game even if you don't choose to take the [Player Killing] Sense in a safe zone. It's not really recommended since the pain that players feel from attacks is lowered to the maximum level, save for a little percent.
However, hitting them over and over could still make them feel pain though.
"Or maybe I could just get my sister who's the vice leader of the guild called [Eight Million Gods] and let them hunt you til you quit the game. Which one do you want?"
I don't really like using my sister's connections but I don't really shy away from receiving help from others. I'll do things if I can but if I can't, I'll of course seek assistance from those who can lend a hand.
"We'll be excusing ourselves now man. It's just a misunderstanding, really."
"Yep, totally."
Looks like they just didn't wanna fight. I'm still wondering what that first guy is on about though.
Well, I'll think about that later.
"The next time that someone approach you like that, just go to your menu and click [GM Call], okay?"
""Understood~, nodesu!"" Looks like Pochi and Tama are in sync.
"I got it Syun-chan. It totally just slipped my mind."
"Hmph! Next time, I'm gonna be the one beating them up! I, the Great Archdemon Satanichia, shall never allow something like that to happen again!"
"Phew, that was kinda scary. Thanks [Admin] Shun-san."
"l'll remember that…"
Yup, looks like they got it this time. Still, I don't understand why those guys would pester them like that.
Not like they'll ever get a girl by doing something so absolutely annoying. They need to get a reality check.
"Well, since that's over and done with, why don't you guys start with getting your tutorial quests?"
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Five days passed with me helping everyone get accustomed to [OSO]. Speaking of getting accustomed, they also began to adopt to the mechanics of the game. More specifically, the Sense mechanics.
They pretty much decided on their own builds and, when they showed it to me, I gotta say that it totally suits their personalities really well. Like, seriously.
For example, Maple got the full defensive build that focus more on being the party's tank. Aside from being already beefy with the [Armour] and [Shield] Senses, she also picked up [Physical Defense Increase], [Magic Defense Increase], [HP Increase], and [Recovery Magic].
What's more, she have [Fighting Spirit] that literally lowers the chance of getting CCed when she's pumped up.
My reaction at the time after seeing her build was, like, "Oh man, people will have a hard time killing you…"
Tama went for a more ninja or assassin-like Sense build. With [Preemptive Knowledge], [Vital Points Knowledge], [Sword], [Stealth], [Physical Attack Increase], [Throw], and [Speed Increase], she's only a few steps closer to becoming a ninja in this game as well.
What's more, she oddly picked up [Darkness Magic Talent] as her [Magic Talent] of choice. I don't know why but I have a feeling that she'll be one deadly ninja once she completes her build.
Opposite to Tama, Pochi went with a normal vanguard build for [Sword] Sense users: [Physical Attack Increase], [Physical Defense Increase], [HP Increase], [Armour], [Fighting Spirit], and [Swordsman's Knowledge]. The only weird addition to her Sense build is probably the [Fist] and [Kick] Senses.
I've got to say, she's probably thought hard and long about her build. Good job Pochi.
Other than the above mentioned three, among Rikka-san, Mutsuko-san, and Satania-san, Rikka-san is probably the one who went with the weirdest build.
Mutsuko-san went for a normal crafter build with [Mixing] and [Smithing] as her main crafting Senses. Satania-san, on the other hand, went for a mage build with her magic talent being [Fire Magic Talent].
She went for [Cooking] so early on, which is weird, but I didn't question it since she'll be the one playing and not me. At this point, I'm convinced that letting them do their thing is much better for them and my mental health.
Anyway, I got a bit off topic there. About Rikka-san.
She literally took everything that relates to 'eyes'. [Snake Eyes], [Hawk Eyes], [Collector's Eyes], and [Discovery], she took them all.
I don't know if she and Tama talked about their build but she also got [Stealth], [Speed Increase] and [Darkness Magic Talent].
During these past five days, I pretty much did nothing other than training myself with some increasingly stronger mobs, helping these girls to level up fast, and crafting items. I've collected lots of very high quality Fine Herbs that I let Mutsuko-san have to upgrade her [Mixing] Sense.
After telling her the basic recipes that I learned from Myu and Sei-nee, I left her to her own devices since I'm pretty much not really needed.
Once I thought I've helped them enough, I left the party and let the five of them experience [OSO] on their own. I'm thinking of going on an adventure with them and my sisters sooner or later but, currently, I don't think it's the time yet.
Letting them grow by themselves is a lot better because they wouldn't be constrained by other's constant meddling, I thought to myself.

Author's Remarks:
※ Chapters about the girls will be coming up in a few more chapters. I think I want to expand on the western district so I'll do just that while I'm at it.
※ Senses that aren't explained here would probably be explained at a later chapter since I don't want to take up too much space.
※ This is the initial Sense Build of Kaede, Tama, Pochi, Mutsuko, Rikka, and Satania.
