“Let’s see, next up is...”

We had pretty much finished up the soup, so I was about to consult with the others about how we would serve it. It was at that moment when it happened.

“We’re under attack! Anyone who’s free, go help with defense!”

“Are the items done?”

“Oh no, this is bad”

“Birds, birds! It’s birds!”

Several people came rushing into the great hall. They must have been players who had been stationed to protect the defensive wall.

“Under attack? But the boss isn’t supposed to be here yet!” Ishida protested.

“It’s not the boss! A huge swarm of birds just showed up and started attacking!” replied the Thief player who came to report the attack.

I see. They never did say that the boss would be the only enemy to attack us. There were mob enemies roaming the playing field, after all, so it wasn’t strange for there to be small fry enemies attacking the fortress too. The devs had completely outsmarted us.

“There are so many of them. It’s becoming a real problem!”

“Wait, wh-what should we do?”

“This is bad, really bad!”

“Sh-Should we go up too?”

“Everyone! Let’s support the others by bringing them our finished event items! But half of us need to stay behind and keep making items!”

Sawyer’s command restored calm to the crafters who had been on the verge of losing it. They followed his orders and fell perfectly into line.

“Silver-Haired, let’s go!”

“R-Right!”

Most of the cooking was done, so it was probably fine to leave just a few people behind. Honestly, I wanted to stay behind, but I got swept up in Sawyer’s enthusiasm and ended up agreeing.

“All right, everyone. Let’s go!”

“Squeak!”

Drimo was pumped up at hearing there was going to be a fight. He propped his pickax upon his shoulder and ran off ahead.

I walked up the stairs and onto the defensive wall. There, I saw countless black specks obscuring the sky. A lot of players on the wall had taken damage. However, the birds that had attacked were already far from the wall.

“What’s the situation?” I called out Kokuten’s party members, who stood nearby.

“Oh, Silver-Haired!”

After a brief explanation, I learned that the birds were doing a hit-and-run attack pattern. They attacked all at once as a swarm, then retreated up into the sky after a while before descending once again. This really is Hitchcock’s world!

“Individually, they’re weak. So much so that just the impact of colliding with us kills them.”

The problem was there were too many of them. Even if one bird could only deal one point of damage, if multiple birds attacked all at once, the damage would stack. Plus, since the attacks were coming from every direction, it was difficult to completely defend against them.

“It’s rough for anyone in light armor.”

“Really?”

My armor was light even compared to other light armor. The idea of getting pecked to death by birds was scary as hell.

“Wh-What should we do? Can we make it with Olto’s Guardian skill?”

“Mm?”

However, I had no time to worry about it.

“Those damn birds are coming!”

I watched as the swarm
