"…That… that doesn't sound like our team name," the handsome tall man, Ragnarr, who had landed the killing blow stammered.
The moment his companion heard him, they swiftly regained their composure and nodded in agreement.
"Then…" one of them drawled, exchanging glances with his teammates.
"has another player gotten the first boss kill before us?" he choked out, finally voicing the dreaded reality the others had been avoiding.

"We… we put in so much effort for this opportunity, only to lose by a mere second. How?!"
One of them sobbed, his eyes reddening with pain and unwillingness.
"He… he even soloed a boss alone? What kind of monster is this person?"
"Argh! I refuse to accept this ending!"
One after the other, the players began to lament, recalling how many times they had been wounded and slain since discovering this boss.
