BXBX NOVEL Chapter 16: Bbs・2Nd Thread To Talk About Npcs
As you could expect from how long it took me to get this out, I haven’t really made any progress in Bu ni mi.
As for the chapter itself, as you can guess from the title, there will be one of those forum interactions that appear in some series.
I’m quite honestly not used to talking in this way so translating it was a bit awkward but I think I got the point across.
As for the part that’s marked with a (*1). It’s basically the person asking if the previous person was referencing the Japanese version of the…FBI meme that goes around.
Think that’s all, enjoy the chapter, I’ll try to release the next one faster.
「TB」 Thread to talk about the NPCs 「Mysterious AI」
This is a thread to talk about the mysterious NPCs in TrailBlazer that are equipped with super efficient AI.
Let’s talk about the NPCs we are a fan of, interesting characters and peculiar actions.
The next thread will be made once we have more than 950 comments.
267：Nameless heavy warrior ID：VmUs2Ae
I was banned from entering the weapon shop, but once I apologized, the old man forgave me…so compassionate.
268：Nameless archer ID：ANE4Yzd
What did you do? lol
269：Nameless heavy warrior ID：VmUs2Ae
I think I talked about this in the previous thread. He told me that the way I was using my weapon was sloppy and when I told him that he was acting too high and mighty, he sent me flying around 5 meters.
270：Nameless mage ID：59Xg3t2
lol so lame, rather, lmao that old man is so strong.
271：Nameless heavy warrior ID：VmUs2Ae
I didn’t know that it was something I shouldn’t say to the NPC and by the time I knew, it was too late…
272：Nameless mage ID：S2jTxA5
Even if they are NPCs, you shouldn’t say rude things.
273：Nameless heavy warrior ID：VmUs2Ae
I know, but something happened in real life and I was pissed at the time. Forgive me, old man from the weapon shop.
274：Nameless light warrior ID：dsUdfnJ
Why is everyone calling him the old man from the weapon shop!?
He has a name and it is Devin!
275：Nameless knight ID：5FUZbn4
I won’t remember the name of some old man lol
276：Nameless archer ID：ANE4Yzd
What does Devin even mean? Is it English?
277：Nameless light warrior ID：dsUdfnJ
It comes from an English poet!
With that kind of face, at night he writes poems in his notebook…
278：Nameless archer ID：ANE4Yzd
LMAO stop that. You are going to make me imagine it lol
279：Nameless knight ID：5FUZbn4
LMAO
「Oh? Wacchi, what are you doing while not eating your bento? Where is Miyucchi?」(Shuuhei)
My classmate, Tsukane Shuuhei, talked to me while I was sitting down on a bench in the courtyard playing with my phone.
He probably came back after buying what he wanted since he was holding some bread on one hand.
「Seems like the stuff she had to do with the student council is taking a while, so she’s waiting. Besides, don’t call me Wacchi. I’m not an artisan, a harlot or a citizen from Gifu. Don’t use that kind of pronoun」 (Wataru)
「More importantly, give me a side dish to accompany this」 (Shuuhei)
「Ah? Where is your bento, Shuuhei?」 (Wataru)
Now that I think about it, this guy usually brings a bento.
He usually has a bento unless his mom is busy.
「I stayed up playing a game all night and my mom got mad. She threw a 100 yen coin at me and told me to go to school!」 (Shuuhei)
「…And that’s why you slept through the lessons, huh? You are so stupid. Here, is some fried chicken enough?」 (Wataru)
「Thanks! …Ah, this is a hundred times tastier than what my mom makes…」 (Shuuhei)
「Be more grateful to your mom. You are going to receive divine punishment」 (Wataru)
Looking at the date of the posts, there’s more…
After giving a side glance at Shuuhei who sat down next to me, I kept scrolling through the thread.
503：Nameless martial artist ID：Zy7YRd9
It has to be Claris-san. Orthodox pretty big sister types are the best!
504：Nameless archer ID：WS64sHL
Claris-san is so kind. A while back, she gave me a 40% discount on holy water.
505：Nameless shinto priest ID：fmGTyMw
Ah, if you buy something a lot of times, it seems that she’ll make 1 item cheaper for you.
506：Nameless martial artist ID：Zy7YRd9
Seriously!?
507：Nameless mage ID：SsBfxwH
Seems like there’s some sort of likability, though it’s not known what is required to raise it.
508：Nameless shinto priest ID：fmGTyMw
Ah, about that, there was an idiot that tried to spend all his money in the second hand shop but her attitude didn’t change much. There’s a limit to the number of items you can buy from it.
509：Nameless archer ID：WS64sHL
I heard about someone who got a blacksmithing set from the old man from the weapon shop.
510：Nameless martial artist ID：Zy7YRd9
Eh…
I don’t really get it but…Claris-san is the best!
511：Nameless archer ID：WS64sHL
LMAO
How much do you like Claris-san? lol
512：Nameless knight ID：mM4TWdF
No no, I rather bring home the mayor’s daughter, Monica-chan.
513：Nameless martial artist ID：Zy7YRd9
What are you, a lolicon?
514：Nameless shinto priest ID：fmGTyMw
Police officer, over here!
515：Nameless knight ID：mM4TWdF
Molester? *1

※This was just a template for the thread
「Hey, Wacchi. What have you been looking at?」 (Shuuhei)
「TB’s BBS」 (Wataru)
「Hah? Wacchi, didn’t you say you wouldn’t play games?」 (Shuehei)
「Yeah, I can guess that the game you spent all night playing was also…」 (Wataru)
「There’s no need to hide it, it was TB! Are you surprised!?」 (Shuuhei)
「Fuun」 (Wataru)
Claris-san sure is being liked.
The old man from the weapon shop is too, judging from the replies, there’s plenty of other NPCs that people took a liking to.
If they found out that we were the ones that took her outside, wouldn’t that be bad?
「Weak! Your reaction is too weak! Hey, let’s play together. As expected, playing with in real life friends is more fun」 (Shuuhei)
「Sure, I don’t mind」 (Wataru)
「Really!?」 (Shuuhei)
「If you manage to find me inside the game」 (Wataru)
「That’s impossible! Wacchi, how many players do you think are inside TB!?」 (Shuuhei)
「I heard that there are 500k players during peak times. Isn’t that amazing?」 (Wataru)
「Right!? …Not that! I’m saying that it’s unreasonable to make someone find you among that crowd with no hints!」 (Shuuhei)
「Eh…」 (Wataru)
「「Eh」 You say…」 (Shuuhei)
It would be nice if Shuuhei was a vanguard.
More importantly, since I’m getting close to the latest replies, I should take a look at the BBS.
614：Nameless martial artist ID：Hf8nwSs
Claris-san has disappeared!!!!!!!!!
615：Nameless archer ID：mkehLih
!?
616：Nameless knight ID：ed3E9Z3
What are you talking about?
617：Nameless heavy warrior ID：xDeWrLa
Explain the situation properly
618:Nameless martial artist ID：Hf8nwSs
It happened this morning before I went to work…
When I woke up early, I went to the second hand shop as usual to see her beautiful self to get enough energy to survive the day, at that time…
619：Nameless archer ID：mkehLih
Gulp…
620：Nameless martial artist ID：Hf8nwSs
Claris-san was not there
An old woman that I had never seen before was sitting at the counter hbwaipfbasdhifgbapihtgbahnkjdgbangubap
621：Nameless heavy warrior ID：xDeWrLa
LMAO
622：Nameless archer ID：mkehLih
No, this no laughing matter. Is that even possible in this game?
623：Nameless martial artist ID：Hf8nwSs
Haa, haa….
I heard from that old woman that Claris-san has gone on a journey…
624：Nameless archer ID：mkehLih
Oh…
625：Nameless knight ID：ed3E9Z3p
Eh, what does that even mean? Does that mean she’s gone from the game?
626：Nameless mage ID：HUtpBtE
Eeh….
627：Nameless martial artist ID：Hf8nwSs
That has to be a lieeeee!!!!
628：Nameless mage ID：9riXKmx
Ah, this topic was already brought up, a gamer friend said that he saw her in Heathrow town.
629：Nameless knight ID：ed3E9Z3
Ah?
630：Nameless martial artist ID：Hf8nwSs
Eh?
631：Nameless archer ID：mkehLih
Fu?
What does that mean?
632：Nameless mage ID：9riXKmx
Her displayed name showed her as a peddler and she was selling stuff normally.
Basically, Claris changed from second hand shop vendor to peddler.
633：Martial artist ID：Hf8nwSs
What!? Now that I know, I must pursue her!
Thanks for the info!
I have to leave the company early and get to leveling up!
I’m still level 10
634：Nameless knight ID：rj8GCRz
No, you should work properly like a normal adult lol.
635：Nameless archer ID：mkehLih
Besides, it’s going to be hard. The ogre over there, is recommended for parties around level 20 after all.
636：Nameless heavy warrior ID：WUmdMAm
It’s easy to level up at the start in TB so it should be fine.
Even if you go solo, if you get to level 25 and stock on healing items, you should be able to beat it.
637：Nameless archer ID：mkehLih
You sound like you already beat it. So you are a solo player…
638：Nameless heavy warrior ID：WUmdMAm
(´：ω：｀)ブワッ
「Ah, seems like they don’t know about us, I’m glad」 (Wataru)
「Wacchi, are there rumors going around in the BBS already?」 (Shuuhei)
「Yup, well…more importantly, you said to give you a hint? Even though Rise found me without a single hint」 (Wataru)
When Shuuhei heard that, he made a wry smile.
He shrugged his shoulders while taking a bite at the bread roll.
「Even if you compare me to her…Wacchi, doesn’t she have like a high sensitive radar for finding you? Wait, are you playing with Rise-chan? That’s unexpected.」 (Shuuhei)
「That’s the case. However, a hint, huh…for the time being, we’ll be staying in Heathrow town」 (Wataru)
「Ooh, you are progressing quite fast. In that case, tell me your job and equipment. I’ll try finding you with that info」 (Shuuhei)
「Ah, are you really going to try and find me? It was just a joke」 (Wataru)
Shuuhei showed me his teeth while he was grinning.
He’s making a face as if he was saying that it would be more fun that way…it’s the mindset of a gamer like that of Miyu’s.
「If I can’t do it, tell me your player name later. I’ll send you a mail inside the game」 (Shuuhei)
「Sure, got it. Since Miyu and Rise stand out more than me, I’ll tell you how they look」 (Wataru)
「Since Rise-chan is there, Miyucchi had to be there too right?…Yup yup, Everyone’s job is what I pictured them to be」 (Shuuhei)
「Right, what’s your job in TB?」 (Wataru)
Please be a vanguard, please be a vanguard…while I was making such prayers, Shuhei said…
「Hmm…It’s a secret」 (Shuuhei)
「So annoying. I hope you dive head first into a puddle」 (Wataru)
「Did you have to go that far!?」 (Shuuhei)
He avoided my question.
