"Senpai, I guess this is where we say goodbye..."
After moving from the D3 area to the E3 area and gaining a few points each, Nanase told me with a look of sadness.
"How are you planning to rendezvous with Amasawa and Hōsen?"
GPS scanning is a very convenient way to find the enemy, but it's hard to say whether it's suitable for meeting up with teammates. Radio transceivers that you can use to talk with them directly may be more appropriate.
"I don't think I can find them if I move blindly, but I can't use the points that I collected for a selfish action. For the moment, I will track the GPS location using only the points I just obtained. Then I'll have to take my chances by going to the next designated area."
This would be the least time-consuming way to do it. Any further search to look for Amasawa and Hōsen will be saved when for she has time.
Since it makes no sense to ask about Amasawa's position here, I'll keep listening to her.
"If I want to find out the whereabouts of the first-year students, I need to be a first year. If I find any disturbing movement, I'll rush back to Ayanokōji-senpai to report it."
Nanase is very enthusiastic, but it is quite dangerous to be alone in a situation like hers.
"Don't force yourself."
Nanase bowed her head and left with her tablet in her hand. I wished she could join me again soon, but it depends on where the other two are. It would be easy if they were to just wander into the designated area. Still, since they're two separate parties thinking and acting on their own, they will most definitely have different trajectories.
After watching Nanase's back disappear into the forest, I took out my tablet. At this point, I was finally one person again, and the second half of the game could begin.
"It seems there aren't any events in the vicinity..."
Although there was an event only 400 meters away from here, 20
minutes had passed since it started, and 35 minutes would have had passed in total, including the 15 minutes it would take me to arrive. And there were only five groups that could participate, which wasn't that much.
The situation is difficult, so I decided to be realistic and chose to take a break so I could avoid over-exerting myself. I'll wait here for the announcement of the next designated area and regain my strength by resting.
By nine o'clock, it was time to move. I took out my tablet and looked to see where the designated area was located. Depending on how far it is, I may have to alter my strategy to get there.
Today, the random zone was the second designated area. It was E6, which isn't too far. I immediately start to move while checking the current tablet to identify the event and set a direction.
The key to getting as many points as possible is "efficiency." To achieve maximum efficiency, you need to eliminate the elements that will influence "luck."
