「......えぇ?」 今ボクの目の前に居る彼女が要求している事──自分自身をグチャグチャに犯して、もしくは何でも良いから命令してというものに対して興味なさげに、困惑した様な声色で対応する。 いったいこれがどういう状況かと言うと、クラスの皆でカラオケ大会をした時に自分の連絡先を聞いてきた女子で遊んでた......ただそれだけの話。 会う度に彼女にポンと百万円をタクシー代として渡し、何も要求はしない......けれどもそれを繰り返し、回数を重ねる毎に自分の反応を徐々に興味なさげにしていく。 遊んでいて話し掛けられても『あぁ』とか『うん』とか、気のない返事ばかりを繰り返していながらお開き、ってなった時には必ず大金をその場で手渡す。 それを五回ほど続ければ、今の彼女みたいに気が狂ってしまうんだよね。 「ねぇ、なんで? なんで私にこんなにも大きな金額を渡すの? 私に気があるならわかるよ?! でもアナタはいつも詰まらなそうじゃない!」 世の中には目に見える見えないに限らず、どんなモノにでも〝 それに気付いたのは幼少期の頃だったかな......母がフィンランド人であるボクは、髪こそ黒色だったけど瞳は深い青色で肌も普通よりも白かった。 そんなボクを見て、周囲の人間達は様々な反応を示した......九条家の跡取りが混ざり物だと顔を顰める者、日本人離れした容姿に惹かれる者、内心の嫌悪感を隠しながらも、ボクの中に流れる九条家の血を求めておべっかを使う者など、本当に様々な人達が居た。 そしてそんな人達はボクの言動にいちいち一喜一憂するものだからもう楽しくて仕方がなくて......気が付けばボクは彼らの 「いや、別に君には何も求めてないよ」 その頃からかなぁ......ボクは世の中にある様々な数値を自らの手で一定の数値に保ったり、わざとバグらせてみたりする事に達成感を覚えるようになっちゃったんだよね。 今だってそう、目の前の......もう名前も忘れちゃった彼女はボクが自らの好感度や不信感を乱高下させたせいで壊れちゃったんだけど、それが何だかとても嬉しいんだ。 (──あぁ、人って殴らなくても壊れるんだな) そう、再確認できるから......あの日、母が壊れたのは周囲の人間達による値の操作が頻繁的で、纏まりが無かったらなんだと、そう思えるから。 現代社会で生きていくうちに差別なんかは良くない事として教わるけれど、それでも人はそんな醜いモノを簡単に捨てられる生き物じゃない。 特に自分達が知らないモノに関しては酷く排他的になる......内心でそれをどう隠そうともね。 だから百年も下層と上層とで分断されてるんじゃないかなぁ......詳しく資料を見てないから分からないけど。 もはや壊れちゃったままの母の事もどうでもいいしね......あれはボクが何をしても数値が上昇する事はあっても、下降する事はないから。 「あれは......じゃ、ボクはもう行くね」 そのまま呆然とただ涙を流すだけの彼女を置き去りに、ボクは今とても興味がある存在を見付けてそちらへと歩み寄る。 気が付けば、先ほどまで会話していた彼女の事など頭の隅からも消え去っていた。 「やぁ、一条さん! 少し良いかな?」 「......九条、先輩ですか」 うん、いつもと変わらない気のない返事だね......もう慣れっこだし、むしろ安心感すらあるよ。 そのまま首を傾げたままの彼女を人目のない校舎裏へと連れて行く......さっきまでは静かな場所だったんだけど、今はもう人目があるからね。 というか、お昼休みに一条さんはなんで一人であんな密会の穴場みたいな場所に居たのだろう......彼女に限って色恋は有り得ないし。 「それで、用件はなんでしょうか?」 「そうだなぁ......」 気のない返事を返しつつ、無遠慮に彼女の頬に触れ、そのまま滑る様にその綺麗で長い黒髪を掬い上げる。 普通そんな事をしたら怒るか、引かれるか、もしくはこれ幸いとボクを落として九条家の夫人の座に収まろうとするものだけれど、彼女は少しだけ首を傾げるだけに終わってしまう。 何かに呪われた様に、この現実世界では自分を出来るだけ押し殺し、普通なんて詰まらないものに自分を押し込めようとするがあまり、普通から逸脱していく彼女が滑稽で面白くて、それでいて可愛らしい。 「──宣戦布告、かな」 そう、用件を呟いた途端に彼女の纏う雰囲気や目付きがガラリと変わる。 ぱっと見で、見た目には何も変化はない......いつもの様に喪失感に溢れる光のない瞳に、どんな大作映画を見ても感動する事なんてないだろうと思わせる感情の削げ落ちた表情。 ......いいや、違う。これこそがボクが彼女を、一条玲奈という少女を気に入っている大きな理由だ。 自身の頬を撫でているボクの手を取り、握り潰すのではと言わんばかりに力を込める彼女の内側に眠るこの凶暴性が最高に素敵だと感じられる。 「やっぱり君は隠すのが下手なだけでさ、ボクと似てるよね」 ここまで自分が思う様に操作できない数値が乱高下しているってだけでもそそるのに、それがボクと似た異常者......現在の社会的正義では受け入れられない人材ときた。 ここまで面白い人も中々に居ないんじゃないかなぁって思うんだよね......だからこそ── 「──本当に一回で良いからさ、君を壊してみたい」 「──奇遇ですね、私も貴方を壊して遊んでみたいと思っていたんです」 だよね、君なら普通の反応は返って来ないだろうなって期待してたんだよね。 「次は全力で殺しに行くから」 「そうですか、今度もまた楽しく遊びましょうね」 まるで想い人と逢瀬の約束をした、初心な乙女の様でいて、熟練の高級娼婦の様な妖艶な雰囲気を纏い始める彼女に思わず笑みが深まる。 普通はサンプルが多くて分かり易いけれど、ボクと同じ異常者は理解も攻略も、本当に難しくて......だからこそ燃えて楽しめるよね。 「「──次は死ね」」 あー、俄然やる気が出て来たなぁ......やっぱり定期的に彼女みたいな子と遊ばないとやってられないや。

"Huh...?" She replied. It's wonderful, you know? She released a strong killing intent when I talked about something that interested her, but then she instantly became confused again the moment I changed topics. What caused this was me playing with a girl who asked for my contact information after the class had a karaoke tournament... Just that. Every time we met, I gave her a million yen for the taxi fee and didn't ask anything in particular out of her... But after doing this a few times, I started losing interest on her reactions. Even as I played and talk to her, I started giving more and more casual replies like 'ah' and 'yeah', while always giving her a bunch of money once we were done. After five or so times of this happening, they tend to go crazy like she is now. "Hey, why!? Why do you always give me such large sums of money!? Is this how you show care!? But then why do you always sound so uninterested!?" She asked me. In this world, there is an absolute value for anything. Regardless of it being tangible or not. I noticed it when I was a child. My mother was Finnish, so I inherited some of her traits. Even if my hair is black, my eyes are blue and my skin is whiter than normal. When seeing my appearance, the people on my surroundings responded in various ways... Some frowned upon the fact that the Kujou family had someone with visibly mixed blood in him; others were attracted by the appearance that looked foreign; others hid their inner disgust... And regardless of what they thought, lots of those people kept on trying to get close to me simply because I am part of the Kujou family. Those people were always happy to gain my attention and saddened by my actions later on... It was just so fun. Before I realized it, I had started playing with their favorability values. "No, I don't really want anything from you." I replied. It was around that time that I started feeling a sense of accomplishment by changing the values of different things in this world with my own hands. To intentionally cause bugs within this system. Even this girl in front of me... I already forgot her name and she broke down because of my actions that made her favorability go up, then plummet shortly after. I'm really happy with this outcome. People can break down even without being hit. This is just a way of me reaffirming this knowledge... Like how my mother broke down because the people around me constantly fiddled with her values in a completely uncoordinated fasion. Even if discrimination is viewed as a bad thing in the modern society, humans are not the kind of creature that can easily throw away such ugly behaviors. Especially when dealing with the unknown, people always end up being terribly exclusive, no matter how much they hide those feelings within their hearts. It's this kind of thing that separated society between the upper and lower layers for the past 100 years... Though I don't know the exact details, since I didn't do much research on this separation. In any case, I don't care about my mother who is still broken... Because no matter what I do, her values do not change. "Well... I'm going then." I told the girl. That girl was stunned and in tears, but I found someone who was more interesting, so I decided to walk up to her. Before I realized it, whatever it is that I was talking about with that girl quickly disappeared from my head. "Hey, Ichijouji, how are you doing?" I asked her. "... Kujou... Senior, right?" She tilted her head. A reply as casual as usual. Just as expected, and it relieves me that she still behaves like that. We were at the back of the school's building. A fairly quiet place that not many people go to, even if it's open to everyone. I wonder why she was in such a secluded place during lunch break... Maybe she was secretly meeting with someone? "So, what is it?" She asked me. "Ah, about that..." I started replying. While starting this reply, I casually touched her cheeks and scooped up her beautiful long black hair and slowly let it slip through my fingers. Normally, if I do that, the other party will either get angry or be drawn to me. They'll try making use of the situation to become the wife of someone from the Kujou family. She pushes herself as much as possible within this real world to try looking ordinary, yet can't help straying farther and farther away from it. It's a very cute and funny side of hers. "A declaration of war." I told her. As soon as I muttered my business, she started giving out a completely different feeling from before. Sure, there isn't much change on her at first glance. She still looks to be as emotionless as always even as I stroke her cheeks, but... What are those goosebumps that I'm feeling? Can she use her game skills within reality or something? ... No, that's not it. This is the reason why I like the girl named Ichijouji Reina. She held my hand that was stroking her cheek and squeezed it. This ferocity that usually sleeps within her, the moments she is able to put it out freely are when she is at her most wonderful state. "You may be no good at hiding, but you're still just like me." I told her. She's intriguing because I can't properly manipulate her values. They fluctuate in very abnormal ways, just like mine... She is the kind of human resource that can't be accepted in the current society. There aren't many other people who are this interesting... That's why... "I really want to destroy you this time around." I softly whispered in her ear. "How strange, our interests actually align. I also wanted to play with you and break you up." She replied. Just as I hoped, I didn't get a normal reaction... It would be really nice if there were some other abnormal people out there that I have yet to meet. "Then, next time, I'll do my best to kill you." I told her. "Let's have fun again next time." She replied. Her smile widened, making her involuntarily start looking very bewitching. An innocent maiden with the allure of a high-class whore. Normally I have many samples to use as reference, which allows me to have an easy time understanding the best course of actions, but it's much harder to understand and capture people that are as abnormal as me. "You'll die on our next meeting." We said in unison. Ah, I'm suddenly feeling quite motivated... I guess I can't enjoy myself fully unless I play with a girl like her on a regular basis.

「しかし中央政府からの攻撃に対しての議論が......」 「すまんな、大事な客人が来る」 建国が目的であるならば、中央政府に対する憎悪を煽るのも分断工作の一つと言えよう......既にこの娘の求心力は無視できないレベルにある。......それに加えて中央政府はワシらから信仰や自由を搾取する前領主一族を放置しておった......この状況で第二王子からの大規模な攻撃、それをまた救ってくれた美しい女......もはや愛おしき信徒がどちらを選ぶかなど、明白じゃな。 「どうです? 既にバーレンス辺境伯とは話が付いています、貴方が頷けば王国から海を完全に奪えます」 「........................しかし信徒は守れる、か」 「えぇ、明日には渡り人同士の集まりがあるので......余裕を見て三日です」 最後に会った時も同じ事を言っておったのぅ......この前の騒ぎといい、渡り人とやらは本当にお祭りが好きな集団なのかのぉ。......まぁ、そうじゃな......三日もあればワシの覚悟も、そしてブランクも......埋められるじゃろう。 「──最後にあの姉妹に会っていかんか?」 「......姉妹?」 「ワシらは建国に協力しようではないか、これからは......いや、これからも共に戦う同志よ」 「渡り人同士の集まりとやら、しっかりとこなして来るが良い......こちらでも建国の準備はするでの」

"But we haven't finished discussing the government's attack on our city..." One of them replied. "I'm aware, but it can't be helped. There is an important guest coming, so it will have to be left for later." I told them... A guest, yes. That girl who isn't even trying to hide her evil aura anymore... she's just announcing that she is coming. "I see..." I replied. It made sense. Our people weren't fond of the kingdom's government already due to the time of slavery... If you add that to the recent attack and put all the blame on the prince, you'll create a large resentment on the populace, to the point they might be willing to fight against the whole kingdom for the sake of their freedom. I am unsure if even I would be able to convince them otherwise. "So? What's your answer? I've already obtained the cooperation of Margrave Wallace, so if you also agree, we can make sure that the kingdom won't ever be able to rob the sea of its freedom again." She told me. "Will the believers be kept safe?" I asked her. I should try to keep as many people alive as possible after all... For that, I need her to give me a guarantee. "Yes. There will be a migrant gathering tomorrow, and I'll be attending. You can use this meantime to think of your answer." She replied. A gathering... She said those same words on the last time we had met. Migrants seem to really enjoy festivals don't they? Though this probably came at a good time as I'll have more time to think this through. "Won't you at least meet up with the sisters before you go?" I asked her. "Sisters...?" She asked back, "Who were those, again?" She doesn't even remember? Nia cried so much when she heard that this girl left without even saying goodbye... Were they truly nothing more than tools for this girl? "Oh, right! The slave sisters. I remember them now." "This is good enough." I told her, "I won't be needing the three days after all, let us fight together... Let's be comrades on the fight for the foundation of a new country." I said. "You should go to your gathering, and I'll be preparing things over here for the upcoming foundation of a new country." I told her.

謎を解かねば先には進めないみたいなギミックですかね、ステータスのゴリ押しだけでは詰まらないという運営の意図が透けて見えますがマンネリ予防に良いでしょう......別に珍しい訳ではありませんし。 クエストNo.00521 ユニーククエスト:古代頭脳の問い掛け 依頼者:オールマイティ・ゴーレム 依頼内容:暇を持て余した古代の兵器のランダムに出題される問い掛けを一問解くごとに攻撃が可能となる。彼を満足させるか撃破せよ。 報酬:宝物殿の宝 注意:ユニーククエストはその成否に関わらず一人につき一回までしか受注出来ず、受け直す事も何度も受ける事も出来ません。 受注しますか?

I guess I just need to solve a puzzle of sorts then? It's probably some minigame that management made in order to make some parts of the game impossible to clear with raw stats alone... I guess it's alright. Quest No.00521 Unique Quest: The Ancient's Knowledge Test Commissioner: Almighty Golem Task: Solve a question of the golem within the time limit in order to get the chance to attack it. Defeat it or prove your worth to it in order to clear the quest. Rewards: The treasures within the room. Note: Unique quests can only be accepted once per person, regardless of success or failure. Do you accept the quest? <Yes/No> I wonder what kind of power it uses that is strong enough to even repel my attacks... Let's not mind this, it would just bother me if I tried reasoning about this one. I pressed <Yes>, and the golem started talking, "If you buy a white bread and a brown bread, you'll pay 110G. "White bread costs 100G more than the brown bread. "It starts snowing in the morning and continues steadily throughout the day. A snow-plow that removes snow at a constant rate starts plowing at noon. It plows 2 miles in the first hour, and 1 mile in the second. What time did it start snowing?" "11:23am." I replied... So boring, I was hoping for some form of puzzle, but they're just logical questions that any high schooler could easily solve, what was in the management's head?

18.決行その3 「......人が増えてきたな」 クソ女と戦ってたらこの騒ぎを聞きつけた他プレイヤーが集まってきた。数の差でもって叩き潰せればいいが、逆に足手まといにならねぇだろうな......? 「どうする? 時間が経つほどお前さんが不利になるぞ? 短時間で俺らを倒せなかった時点でお前さんに勝機はもうないぞ? 」 「そうです、降参してください......」 ラインとチェリーが投降を呼びかけるが―――― 「? なぜ? 」 ――――こいつがそんなんで止まるわけねぇだろ。第一ここで降参されてハイおしまいになったら俺が納得できねぇ! それじゃこのクソ女に勝ったことにならねぇじゃねぇか!! 「......無理よ、その子に投降の意思はないみたい」 「......残念」 「マジかぁ〜、これで諦めないの? キマッてるねぇ〜」 そうやって会話する間にもどんどんプレイヤーが増えてくる、いつの間にかクソ女は周りをプレイヤーの山に囲まれていた......しかも攻略組パーティーが俺らの他に3組もいやがるな............。 「御託はいい、俺らで仕留めるぞ」 「えぇ、そうね」 そのまま斧を構え周りのプレイヤーと目線で合図をし合い、歩調を合わせ、飛びかかろうとして―――― 「『っ! 』」 ――――奴が消えた?!! いや、違う! いきなりスピードが上がりやがったんだ、目に追えない程じゃないが先ほどまでより段違いだ! 「クソッ! どうなってやがる! 」 「なぜ急に......」 驚いている間にも奴は俺らの反対側の群れに突っ込んでから5人の首を飛ばし、8人の手足を切り飛ばし、後衛を3箇所爆破し、さらに5人を投げ飛ばし、飛んでくる魔術や矢を風魔術や光魔術で防いでやがった............魔術まで使うのかよ?! 「俺らも行くぞ! 」 「っ! あ、あぁ! 」 これ以上好き勝手させてなるものかと、この際ザコは放っておいて他の攻略組と連携して奴を仕留めようと動くが――――その尽くが躱され、時にキルされる。 斧を上段から叩き付けるがバク転で躱され、次いでと言わんばかりに顎を蹴り上げられちまった......。 地に手を付いたと思ったらそのままカポエラの如く周りにいた前衛たちの顔を蹴り吹き飛ばす、そのまま自身に《突風》魔術を掛けて空を駆け、一足飛びに包囲を離脱、すぐさま反転し――――そこからは後衛の悲鳴しか聞こえなかった............。 邪魔な後衛たちを処理しながら思いますが、この《称号:虐殺者》が結構役立ちましたね? 今まではあまり効果を実感しませんでしたが、今は周りを見渡す限りの人の群れ......おそらく上限近いところまでAGIが強化されているのではないでしょうか? 「ぐぅっ!! 」 神官の女の子の顎をかち上げ、浮いたところを背後に回り込み腰を思いっきり蹴り飛ばします、こちらに向かってきていた前衛に突っ込みそのまま――――仕込んでいた火薬玉が起爆し盛大に巻き込みます。 「な、なんだ?! 」 「前が見えん! 」 爆発の煙と余波で混乱し、こちらを相手が見失っているうちに誰のか分からない槍を投擲し、知らない人のナイフを奪って喉を貫き、ヒーラー3人の首を刎ね飛ばします。 追い付いてきた前衛の1人である剣士の手首を切り落としてから腹を殴り昏倒させ、頭を踏み砕きながら再度敵の中心へ突撃を敢行します。 「嫌っ! 」 短刀の柄で短剣使いの頭を殴ってかち割り、その背後の大剣使いに向けて彼が持っていた短剣を投擲してヘッドショットです。 ついでに迷い込んでいた魔術師の女の子の襟首を掴み引き摺りながら前衛の群れへ突っ込み盾として使います。 「本当に容赦がない......」 「ガチの畜生で草なんだっ――――! 」 草を生やそうとした方がいたのでその開いた口に短刀を突き入れ上顎から上を切り離します。 そのまま駆け抜けていきそろそろ女の子のHPが無くなりそうなので火薬玉を仕込んでぶん投げます。 良かったですね、元のパーティーに戻れましたよ。 女の子がパーティーメンバーを巻き込んで爆発したのを横目に見ながら、足元に突き込まれてきた槍を足場に駆け上がり、槍使いの顎を蹴り上げながら跳躍。 上から火薬玉と従魔たちの魔術をばら撒き、さらに削り取り空いたところに着地します。 「大分減りましたね? 」 最初の方は数えるのも馬鹿らしく、最後尾の方まで見えないくらいプレイヤーとNPCが溢れていたものですが今は全体を把握できるまでに減っています......それでもまだ3桁は居るでしょうけどね。 さて、再度突撃をしようとしたところで―――― 「《紅炎七連舞》!! 」 ――――ものすごい攻撃が殺到してきたので全力で避けます――――半身になって振り下ろしを––––––逆袈裟を上体を反らして――――頭を下げて横薙ぎの一撃を――――上段からの攻撃はクルリと回転して––––––突きに対してはむしろ前進して――――振り上げは跳躍しながら身体を捻って――――最後に回転斬りをバックステップしながら避けつつガラス片と火薬玉を投擲して反撃してみますが......防がれましたね。 「よもや初見で全て躱されるばかりか反撃まで貰うとはな......」 うわ、めっちゃ偉くて強そうな方がでてきましたね..................とりあえず確認しましょう。 名前:アレクセイ・バーレンスLv.55 カルマ値:175《善》 備考 バーレンス辺境伯・長子 バーレンス辺境伯領・騎士団長

Chapter 18 Carry Out 3 Hannes: "...seems like the number of people has increased." Other players who heard this uproar came and gathered around while we were fighting against this bitch. We might defeat her with this difference in numbers, but won't it also become a hindrance instead...? Ryne: "What now? You will be in a great disadvantage as time passes. There won't be any chances for you to win if you can't beat us in this short amount of time, you see?" Cherry: "Yes, please give up..." Ryne and Cherry asked her to surrender but--- Rena: "? Why?" ---As I thought, this bastard doesn't want to stop what she's doing. Even I won't agree if she just surrendered and finished this matter like that! I can't win against this bitch then, right!?! Eleanor: "...It's useless, I don't think that girl has an intention to surrender." Myra: "...Unfortunate." Kellin: "Seriously~ she still doesn't want to surrender? Then it's decided, right~?" In the course of the conversation, the number of players has increased more and more, and that bitch is now surrounded by a mountain of players... moreover there are three capture parties other than us as well...... Hannes: "Say what you like, we'll bring you down." Ryne: "Yeah, that's right." I readied my axe and the players around us were waiting for the signal as well, keeping our pace together, and we tried to charge in--- Everyone: "{!!!} " ---she's gone?!! No, that's not it! Her speed suddenly increased. We can still keep up with our eyes, but she's even faster than before! Hannes: "Fuck! What is she trying to do!?" Ryne: "Why suddenly..." While we were surprised, she charged into the crowd opposite of us, then decapitated five players, cut off the limbs of eight players, blew up three places around the rear guards, hurled another five players, and managed to avoid the magic and arrows with wind magic and light magic..... That bastard can even use magic as well?! Player A: "We will go as well!" Player B: "!! Y-yeah!" We separated from the mob as I judged that they will just do whatever they pleases after this and gathered around with the other capture parties to coordinate and move together---but the others were killed while we were trying to evade. She slammed against my axe from overhead and dodged with a backflip, but then, she did an upward kick at my chin immediately after that.... When I thought that she had to put her hand on the ground, she continued to do a Capoera-like kick at the vanguards' faces and blew them off. She then leapt into the sky after applying <<Gust>> magic on herself and got out of the encirclement. She immediately turned over---and I could only hear screams coming from the rear guards...... I was thinking while dealing with the hindering rear guards, but this [(Title: Slaughterer)] is helping me a lot, yes? I did not realize that it has this much effect before, but right now I could see a crowd full of people as far as my eyes can see... Perhaps, my AGI is strengthened to a point near maximum? Cherry: "Guhh!!" I kicked the priest girl's chin upward, moved to her back and blew her off with a kick again in her waist while she was still limping, and ignited the prepared explosive balls---it swallowed up the vanguards who were rushing towards here. Player C: "W-what?!" Player D: "I can't see a thing!" After creating the chaos due to the smoke and aftermath of the explosion, I threw someone's spear, pierced another person's throat with a stranger's knife and decapitated three healers while the opponents has lost sight of me. After cutting off the wrists of the swordsman who is one of the vanguards, I hit his abdomen to make him faint, stepped on his head and crushed it. After that, I charged again into the center of the enemy's formation. Player G: "NOOO!!" I threw a dagger and headshotted the great-swordsman who charged towards here from the back while I hit the dagger-user's head with the hilt of my dagger and crushed it. At the same time, I grabbed the nape of a magician girl who had gone astray and charged towards the vanguards while dragging her and using her as a shield. Player I: "She truly has no mercy..." Player J: "She's a fucking animal!!!" Because there's someone who was snickering me, I put a dagger into its opened mouth and decapitated it from its upper jaw. I continued running through them until the girl's HP was about to disappear. Then, I placed an explosive ball on her and threw her with my utmost effort. It's great to be able to return to your original party, yes? While glancing at the explosion from the party members who had caught the girl, I kicked the spear-user's chin who was aiming his spear for my foot and jumped. I then distributed the explosive balls with the help of my followers' magic and landed at the safe spot. Rena: "It has now been reduced considerably, yes?" It was stupidly crowded with players and NPCs that I can't even see the end of the line before, but it has now been reduced to the point where I can have a complete control... Though, there are still three digits remained, you see. Now then, where should I attack again--- ???: "<<Dance of the Seven Red Flames>> !!" ---Since a huge attack came towards me, I avoided it with all my strength---Swung half of my body down---Bent my upper body---Lowered my head from the attack---Turned around to avoid an attack from the top---Charged forward against the thrusts---Twisted my body while jumping overhead---Lastly, I tried to counterattack with glass shards and explosive balls while doing a backstep...but it was all averted. ???: "Not only you dodged all of my attack from the start, but you also managed to counterattack..." Uwaah, seems like someone who is clever and strong has appeared, yes.......... Let's check his status first.

93.宣戦布告 「あー、楽しかったですね!」 「......そうかい」 「どうかしましたか?」 「なんでもっ......ヴォエ!」 そういえば糸でグルグルに巻き付けて雑に扱いましたね......視界を奪われていたものですから細かい配慮ができませんでした、反省です。 「王女様......も死んでますね」 でも勝てたので良かったです、嬉しい......嬉しい? ......そうですね、嬉しいです。楽しく戦えて、楽しく勝てて嬉しかったです。 「二人には感謝せねば」 ちゃんと打ち合わせまでしたのに何を今さら......まぁ、いいですエレンさんと王女様を担いで崩れ落ちた壁から糸を近くの尖塔まで括り付け、その上を走りながら上空へと特大の花火を打ち上げます。 「合図が出たぞー!」 対抗薬を持っていないプレイヤーにしか効かない麻痺毒を屋敷中に上からばら撒き、時に糸に塗った物を直接付与し、行動を縛ります。 「いい加減に諦めてくださいよ」 「......さらば、愛しのベッドよ」 「? 寝るのが好きなんですね?」 「......お陰様でな」 「でもあの短時間であの人数を壊滅させるのってこれぐらいしかなくないですか?」 「......普通は降伏って選択肢があんだよ」 「でもそれは面白くないです」 「......頭痛薬はどこにやったっけ」 「頭が悪いのですか?」 「......せめて頭が痛いのかと聞いてくれ」 「......部下を派遣した、ついて返事を貰い帰ってくるのに大体一週間ってとこか」 一週間ですか......ユウさんとマリアさんのお願いを聞いてあげるとして、残りの日数は......。 「......こっちは屋敷を再建しなきゃならんのだから、これ以上の厄介事はやめてくれよ?」 「わかってますよ、今回も大変助かりました」 本当に面白くなりそうです、新しい戦い方は戦争で披露するとして......とても楽しみです。 《レベルが上がりました》 《カルマ値が大幅に下降しました》 《スキルレベルが上がりました》 《従魔たちのレベルが上がりました》 そんな通知を聞き流してその場をはなれます。 そう命令を下した皇帝は次に総動員を発令し、戦争準備を各諸侯へと通達......過激派の将軍や大臣が喜び勇んで戦準備へと走る。 謁見の間から離れた皇帝は独りごちる......領土拡大よりも国内の安定を求めた穏健派でもここまでキッパリと向こうから宣戦布告されてしまえば過激派の部下や家臣たちを抑えつけておくことなど、もはやできない......。

Chapter 93 - Declaration Of War "Ah, that was fun!" I said as I stretched a bit, not long after strangling Yuu and Maria to death. "... If that's what you think." Eren answered in a bad mood. "What's wrong?" I asked him. "What do you- Whoa!?" He suddenly shouted midway through his response. I wonder what could have caused it? "Ah..." I did tie the princess behind me with threads, and I didn't pay proper attention to her during the battle, that's troublesome. "Is the princess... dead?" Eren asked. And yes, I won! I'm happy! I'm happy that I was able to have a happy fight and a happy victory! "I have to thank them later for this." "... Thank?" Eren seemed confused, but I ignored him. "... I see." He seemed dejected for some reason, but that's irrelevant. I carried him and the princess out of the mansion through a broken wall and then threw an oversized firework high up in the air. "It's the signal!" The NPCs started reacting. While the NPCs did their part, I started throwing explosives with paralyzing poison from above to stop the players from escaping, since they didn't drink the antidote in advance. I also used some threads to stop a few individuals that seemed to be resisting the poison. "You should give up on it already." I told him. Soon after, the troops finished evacuating and then pulled the threads that linked to the explosives within the basement, exploding the whole mansion and all the players within it. "Farewell, my beloved bed." He said. "Do you like sleeping that much?" I asked him. "... By the grace of the gods." He seemed to be broken again, so I just watched the scene while ignoring him. "It was the only way to kill such a large number of people in a short amount of time though?" I replied to Eren. "... I'd rather surrender in this kind of situation." He said. "But that's not interesting." I told him. "I wonder if my subordinates remembered to take my headache medicine before evacuating..." Medicine again? It really isn't a good idea to take this much in a short period of time... "You're kinda dumb, aren't you?" I asked him. "... You could at least ask me if I had a headache." He replied with a sigh. "... I'll send an envoy to the Empire, though it should take a week for them to go there and come back." He answered. A whole week... I can listen to Yuu and Maria's requests in this meantime, but still... "What I should do while waiting?" there should be plenty of idle time until things start moving. "We'll have to rebuild the mansion, so I'd appreciate if you didn't do anything flashy." He told me honestly. "Alright, you were plenty useful already after all." I replied. I guess I can just make a few more preparations for the start of the war... I'm looking to it, I'm going to showcase a whole new way of warring after all. <Your Level has increased> <Your Karma has dropped significantly> <The level of existing skills has increased> <The level of your servants has risen> While listening to the system notifications, I moved somewhere else. After that, I announced to my generals that they should mobilize themselves to go to war. The extremists were eager for it, but I did not wish for another war to occur. Right now what we needed was to stabilize our territory, not to expand it... And to think we were finally making progress on that end... I sighed to myself once I was alone while worrying over that. First, Alexei, who was one of the most prominent warriors of the Kingdom, and who was also one of the most vocal people against a war against us died, then a declaration of war came not long after... Just what is going on in that place? Is this just internal strife? Could there be a coup going on? We really needed to have kept a stronger chain of spies there...

216.メッフィー商業立国経営統合その3 「ご結婚おめでとうございます」 今この場はディルクさんが襲って来た時に開かれていたパーティーの会場と同じ場所であり、そこに集う面々に大きな変化が見られるもののサーディス商会派が多数を占めているのには変わりありません。 「これはこれはレイコ殿......わざわざありがとうございます。貴女様のお力添えが無ければこの結果はありえませんでした......ほら、アビーも返礼するんだ」 「......っ! ......あ、ありがとう......ござい、ます」 アビゲイル王女の事を気安く愛称で呼び、衆人環視の中で無遠慮に彼女の身体を撫で回すグレゴリウスさんという二足歩行の豚の様な見た目の男という、あまりお似合いではない男女の組み合わせが少しばかり可笑しくて笑いが込み上げてきそうです。 「なるほど、了解致しました」 意外そうな顔をするグレゴリウスさんには申し訳ないですが、別に貴方を信用した訳ではなく、貴方の様な醜い男に母の名前をこれ以上呼ばれたくないという、酷く自己中心的な思いからです。 「おやおや、これはディルク・ファストリアでは?」 「いいえ、違います。先日のファストリア商会による大公選挙の正当性を著しく貶める乱はご存知でしょう? その時にファストリア商会はお取り潰しになったではありませんか」 唐突に出てきたエレンさんとその肩書きにアビゲイル王女やグレゴリウスさん達の口が見事に引き攣り、聞き耳を立てていたパーティー会場が静まり返ったのが分かります。 「アビゲイル・メッフィー・ラングドック並びにグレゴリウス・メッフィー・サーディスよ、其方等に対し、『バーレンス連合王国外様公爵位』を授ける」 「其方等には『バーレンス連合王国メッフィー州』の『セカンディア市』と『サーディス市』を含む一帯の領地を下賜する......何か異論はあるかね?」 「......も、もちろん......ござい、ません......とも」 そう一息に言い切ったエレンさんは証書と権利書、命令書などの書類の束と一緒に短剣をグレゴリウスさんに向けて差し出します。 「ブルース・セカンディアには既に『バーレンス連合王国外様子爵位』を与えている......寄り子として、また代官として上手く使うと良い」 顔中から肉汁かと見紛うほどの脂汗を流しながら甲斐甲斐しく膝をつき、書類の束と短剣を受け取るグレゴリウスさんを見ながら、内心で上手くいったと上機嫌になります。 言うまでもなくブルース・セカンディアは私の従魔ですので、あの美味しい工業地帯は実質的にはグレゴリウスさんではなく私の物です。 ただ私が領主として統治すると、エレンさんと明確な上下関係が出来てしまいますし、何かあった時には顔を出さなくてはいけない責任が生じてしまいますので、二重に面倒事を押し付ける形になりますね。 「あ、あの......」 「なんだね?」 別に構いませんが、打ち合わせに無かったエレンさんからのアクションに内心で首を傾げます。 「それで? 相談事とは?」 「お土産として国を丸々一つ盗ってくる奴ってどう思う?」 「その方の頭はおかしいのでは? 国なんて持ち運べませんよ」 「......じゃあ、俺がお土産としてお前に貰った物は?」 「クソかよ」 相手の事を考えないそれはただの自己満足の押し付けらしいですから、今からでもグレゴリウスさんとの婚約を破棄させるべきですかね。 「はぁ......おい、レーナ」 肌と肌が触れ合う様な近距離まで近付くとは思いませんでしたし、この様な近い距離だと必然的にエレンさんを見上げる形に── 「──美しい女なら目の前に居るが?」 「はぁ......お前は野生動物かよ、目を逸らしたら負けるのか? あ?」 「......何を怒ってるんです?」 「なんでバカ正直に何時までも見つめ返してんだよ?! 少しは恥じらって逸らせよ!」

Chapter 216: Handling the Meffy Commercial Nation - part three "Congratulations on your engagement." I told Gregoir and Princess Abigail. We were currently in the same venue that Dirk had attacked a small while back, though this time the people gathered here are quite different, even if the majority are still part of the Serdis group. "Thank you for all your help, Reiko, this wouldn't have been possible without you. You're very happy for her help too, right, Abby?" Gregoir said this as he openly caressed her body. "Ah... Of course... Thank you..." Princess Abigail said. She wasn't being that comfortable when being caressed by this pig-like man who one-sidedly decided to call her by a nickname, but well, that's just the fate of political marriages. High nobility cannot complain about being married off by a pig-like man. "Of course, I understand." He replied. He was a bit surprised by it, but I couldn't care less. I just didn't want this pig uttering mom's name anymore. "Oh my, you brought Dirk Fastria with you?" Gregoir asked. "No no. The Fastria family is no more, as they tried to undermine the legitimacy of the election, right? This is just Dirk." I told him. And once his title was formally announced, both princess Abigail and Gregoir ended up having a completely dumbfounded expression on their faces. The rest of the party instantly went quiet as well. "Abigail Meffy Landork and Gregoir Meffy Serdis, you two are now gracefully awarded with the titles of Dukes of the Wallace Kingdom." Eren told them. "You two will be given control of the territories of the Sekondia City, the Serdis City, and their affiliated territories within the Meffy district of the Wallace Kingdom, any objections?" Eren asked them. "Ah... No, of course not... Your majesty." Gregoir replied. Then, Eren gave a ceremonial dagger and a bunch of documents to Gregoir, and said, "Let's schedule the official ceremony to celebrate your promotion later, then. "As for Bruce Sekondia, he'll be working as a Lieutenant for the military of the Wallace Kingdom." Eren told them. Gregoir wiped off the incredibly greasy sweat off his face, then knelt down and started looking over the documents. I wonder if he is happy about being given control over the Sekondia territory... Though well, Bruce Sekondia is my servant, so that delicious industrial area is actually mine. Gregoir has it in name only. But it would be a pain to be its ruler in name, as I'd need to actually show up in case some trouble occurred, so it's better to leave those annoying bureaucracies to be handled by the puppets instead. "Ah..." Former Princess Abigail finally muttered something. "What is it?" Eren asked her. Can't say I know what was Eren's reason for that, but I went along with him. Once we were outside the venue, I asked him, "Well, what did you want to consult about?" "Well... Just what do you think of someone who steals a whole country for a souvenir?" He asked me back. "Wouldn't that person be crazy? One can't carry a country." I replied. "... Then what did you get me as a souvenir?" He asked. "Damn it..." Eren muttered. Really though, the current arrangement was probably the ideal one, but mom did tell me that gifts and surprises are meant to be done in a way that makes the other party happy, so I guess I should cancel Abigail's engagement with Gregoir? Eren sighed, said, "Hey, Rena." then walked closer to me. He got extremely close to me, to the point that we were almost touching one another. I had to look up to keep staring at his eyes. Then, for some reason, Eren gently lifted my chin with his fingers and said, "A beautiful woman is right in front of me though?" "Are you a wild animal or something!? Will you lose if you look away!?" He exclaimed. "I don't know what you're angry about..." I told him honestly. "Why are you stupidly and honestly looking back forever! Be a bit more self-conscious or have a bit of shame at least!" He replied.

193.第二回公式イベント終了 『はいはーい! 皆さんお疲れ様でーす! ............運営だよ☆彡.。』 『主任、真面目にお願いします』 差出人:KSO運営 件名:公式イベントの最終結果 本文:第二回公式イベントのランキングを国別とペアに分けて上位5位まで発表します。 国別ランキング 序列1位:バーレンス連合王国《獲得ポイント500万8450》 序列2位:カメリア大公国《獲得ポイント500万2000》 序列3位:ブルフォワーニ帝国《獲得ポイント380万5450》 序列4位:エルマーニュ王国《獲得ポイント315万5000》 序列5位:エルロンド共和国《獲得ポイント225万8550》 ペアランキング 序列1位:絶対不可侵領域&フィーリア 以上となります、それぞれのランキング上位者と順位に見合った報酬を各国全体に配ります。また、自身が獲得したポイントで豪華景品と交換できますがポイントの有効期限は明日から一週間までとなりますのでご注文ください。 KSO運営より ......今回もエルさんと私で上位独占ですか......ペアランキングでは負けてますし、少し悔しいですね? 思い出せば第一回からランキング順位では負け越してしまっていますし、もし第三回目が開催されるのなら、その時は絶対に勝ちにいきましょうか。 『アッハッハッハッハッ! やっぱ二つほど数字がおかしい所があるね?』 『......いつもの二人が関わってますね』 『もう本当に笑っちゃうよ、二人共が自分で建国しちゃうし』 『シナリオ班と技術班が泣いていましたよ』 『まさか自分で建国して、自軍の兵士を率いてそいつ等に拉致させて大量にポイント獲得するとはね〜!』 おや、エレンさんに兵士を借りた事は正しかったようですね......狙ってやった訳ではありませんが、結果として裏技的なものを使っていたようです。エルさんは......どうでしょう、あの方は団体行動というものが酷く苦手そうですから、案外ペアの方が提案していそうですね。 そして『カメリア大公国』ですか......確か帝国を挟んで南側にあった小国だったはずです。エレンさんとユウさんから聞いた情報では帝国がかの国を呑み込む寸前に災害に遭って撤兵したとか......もしやこの災害ってエルさんでは? あの戦いの後、そちらに向かっていたのですか。 『ちなみに獲得したポイントはちゃんと使い切ってね!』 『ペアで獲得したポイントは折半、国で獲得したポイントは等分となります』 『それじゃあ、またね〜!』 『皆さまお疲れ様でした』 要件を全て終えた二人が消えていきましたね。......さて、私はどうしましょうか? 久しぶりに装備を新調しましょうかね......第一回公式イベントの報酬を今までずっと使い続けてきましたし、ここら辺でグレードアップしたい所です。 「おや、公女様はその事が心配で?」 「......その呼び方やめろ」 「それは失礼致しました──フィーリア様」 コイツ......分かっててやってやがんな? 俺が興味本位でネカマプレイしようと女性キャラにするも下手くそ過ぎて誰も騙されず、かといって今さら普通にプレイするには戦闘スキルも生産スキルも育てる余地がないクソ雑魚リビルドで困っていたところをカメリア大公から『死んだ娘が生き返った!』なんて拉致られた俺の事をッ!! プレイヤーでありながら『重要NPC』の称号を得てしまった俺の事をッ!! 「国の防衛の事ならお気になさらず、もしもの時はフレンドメールで」 「......ちゃんと来てくれんのかよ? 『カルマ値が上がり過ぎてるから見捨てるね!』とか言わないか?」 本当に信用ならねぇ! そしてそんな信用ならねぇ奴に頼らないと自国の防衛すらままならない立場を押し付けられた俺ってば超可哀想! 誰でも良いから美少女が癒してくれねぇかなぁ?! 「まぁ心配しなくても、自分の拠点を失うのはゲームをプレイする上で不味いからね......心配しなくても助けに来るって」 「けっ、どうだか......」 エルの奴から家紋? のような物を渡される......植物に詳しくないから分かんねぇけど、なんか植物の葉が円の形になっているような? なんかそんな感じの紋章が入った物で......なんだこれ? 「それはリアルの僕の──九条家の家紋だよ」 「それを預けるって事は家の名に誓うって事だから......ちゃんと約束を果たすまで持っててね? あ、あと悪用も厳禁だからね?」 「......お前お金持ちだったのかよ」 「華族がみんなお金持ちって訳でもないけど、まぁ暮らしに困ってはないかな......なに? お金持ちは嫌い?」 「......嫌いだけど、仕方ねぇから預かっててやるよ」 「それは良かった......じゃあ行くね」 「ふん! 行っちまえ!」 普通の速度で歩き去る奴の背を眺めながらお父様──じゃなくて大公の野郎になんて説明するかを悩む......普通に帝国が攻めて来たら詰むからな、泡吹いて倒れるかも知れんな。 「まぁ暫くは絶対不可侵領域って名前を出せば大抵の国は黙るだろ......それでも攻めて来るのは噂のジェノサイダーくらいだろうしな」

Chapter 193: The end of the Second Event "Hi, everyone! Thanks for participating! It's the management team speaking!" The usual boss appeared on the screen. "Boss, please take it seriously." And the secretary, as usual, admonished him. From: KSO Management Team. Subject: Results of the Second Event. The event results will be divided both on overall amount of points obtained by your country, as well as the points obtained by your pair. The top 5 contributors for each category will also be publicly shown. Country ranking: #1: Wallace Kingdom - 5,008,450 points. #2: Grand Duchy of Carmelia - 5,002,000 points. #3: Bourfoin Empire - 3,805,450 points. #4: Kingdom of Hermagne - 3,155,000 points. #5: Elrond Republic - 2,258,550 points. Pair ranking: #1: Absolutely Inviolable Area and Philia - 3,155,800 points. Just like in the last event, you'll be able to exchange the points you earned for special rewards. The points expire in one week though, so make sure to spend them before the deadline. -KSO management Jeru beat me again? I did win on the country ranking at least, but it's frustrating to lose twice in a row on the individual rankings... I'll get him on the next time. "And just like last time, there are some really strange numbers on the top two places, aren't there!?" The boss suddenly exclaimed. "The same two people as before..." The secretary sighed. "You two really made your own countries and dominated the rankings, didn't you!? It's hilarious!" The boss said. "Don't laugh at the pain that they caused to the story development team..." The secretary admonished him. "Come on! They made their own countries and used their entire armies to kidnap people for the sake of gathering as many points as possible! You gotta praise them for that!" The boss said while still laughing. Well, seems like both me and Jeru had roughly the same idea then? Borrowing Eren's soldiers was for the best, but it's a pity that it didn't lead to my victory. Also... I believe the Grand Duchy of Carmelia was a small country that claimed independence from the Empire? Yuu told me that the Empire tried taking them back, but a disaster kept them from succeeding... Could this disaster be Jeru? It would explain the current circumstances, I suppose. "In any case, remember to spend your points, everyone!" The boss said. "Points earned by the pair will be split evenly between both members. Points earned by the country will be split evenly across all players that joined said country." The secretary explained. "And that's all! See you laters!" The boss waved. "Thank you for participating." As the secretary said that, the transmission ended. Now what to do with all these points...? I guess I'll use it to improve my equipment? Been a while since I changed my gear, after all... Also, a new region should be opened up soon, and it wouldn't be hurt to be as strong as possible at the time of its release. "Oh my, you're worried about that, young lady?" He snickered. "Don't call me that..." I replied. "My deepest apologies, lady Philia." He said while giving me a mocking bow. Seriously, 'lady Philia'? I can't believe that I, a player, ended up somehow getting the title of important NPC. 'The deceased daughter of the Grand Duke of Carmelia has come back to life!' I couldn't even believe my ears when I heard that and ended up becoming a young lady... Well, it's helpful to me since I didn't get any fighting-related skills at all though, politics just suit me better. "In any case, don't worry too much about it. If the country needs help with its defense again, just send me a message and I'll come to help." Jeru told me. "... Will you really come? Won't you abandon me with a message saying something like 'my karma will raise too much if I help, so you're on your own'!?" I asked him. What else!? I need some way of trusting your word! I'm in a pitiful position as I can't even defend my own country without relying on you, so I need to be sure you'll come! "Look, it would be bad if I lost my base, alright? So I'll come to help if you need me." Jeru told me. "But how can I be sure...?" I asked. "What's this?" I asked as I inspected it... It seems to have some family crest in it? Why did he give me that? "It's the crest of my family outside the game. The Kujo family." He explained. "Giving this to you is a promise swore on the name of my family. So hold on to it as proof of our agreement, alright? I sighed, "Guess you must be quite rich, huh?" "It's not like all nobles are rich, but I don't really have any trouble with living expenses... Do you despise rich people perchance?" He asked me. I guess my tone made it a bit too obvious. "But I do need you, so I'll keep this." I said as I held his family crest tightly. "Then that's good enough. I'm going." As he said that, he turned his back on me and started moving away at his stupidly high speed. "Fine, just go!" I shouted at him. Now how will I explain everything to that annoying grand duke...? I need to reassure him that the Empire won't attack us somehow... Well, not all of them were acquaintances of someone like Jeru, I guess. That definitely makes a difference... I mean, if we name our territory as something belonging to Absolutely Inviolable Area, then we probably won't be attacked by any country due to the fear of retaliation after all, that's how crazy this guy's power is.

17.決行その2 さて、昨日のうちに準備した詰め所の仕掛けが発動したところで私も行きましょう。 目指すは貴族街の中心地の領主館です。そこまで走り抜けましょう。 「っ! そこの君! 止まり――――」 「っふ! 」 こちらに静止を呼びかけようとした貴族街と下町を隔てる門の番兵へ向けてガラス片を投擲、喉を刺し貫き殺します。 その後に火薬玉Lv.4(単純に威力上げただけ)を門へ思いっきり振りかぶって投げます。 ...........................ちょっと火薬の量か多すぎましたかね? 門だけでなくその周辺まで吹っ飛んじゃいました............確かアレはこういう時にするんでしたか? 「............て、テヘペロ」 ..................自分でしておいてなんですが寒気しかしません、もう二度とやりません。 それよりも交通性が上がったので走り抜けましょう。 「アァ〜、まだ納得いかねぇよぉ〜」 「......ハンネスまたか? 」 ボヤく俺にラインが声を掛けてくる、その声色には呆れが多分に混じっているが仕方のないことだろう。 』ってよ! そんなふざけたパーティー名の奴らに初攻略取られたんだぜ!? 」 「確かに悔しいがもう半月ぐらい前だろ? 」 「そうだが......クソっ! あの野郎にあそこで殺られてなけりゃ......」 確かに街の北に最終的には逃げたとは聞いたが......普通未攻略エリアに初心者がソロで突っ込むか? そのおかげで全く知らねぇ奴らに先を越されちまった、ハロルドのところのパーティーならまだ納得できるのに!! 「反省会の途中でワールドアナウンスが流れた時、あなたすごいショック受けてたものね......」 「しかもなんだよジェノサイダーちゃんって......ありゃそんな可愛いもんじゃねぇよ」 公式掲示板じゃ専用スレまで作られてるし、模倣犯は続出するし......まぁ、どれもすぐに鎮圧されるんだがな。 衛兵の見廻りの数が初日と段違いだし、なによりアイツに比べてみんなクソ弱ぇ......。 「あれから姿も見せないし、なにしてるんだろうな! 」 ケリンがそんな気楽な調子で言う......本当になにしてんだろうな? どうせ碌でもないこと企んでるんだろ? 見つけたら絶対に―――― ドオォォーーーーーン!!! 「な、なんだ?! 」 いきなりどデカい爆発音がしたと思ったら、あちこちで断続的に響きやがる。 「急げ! 複数の詰め所が襲撃を受けた! 」 「ここ以外も襲われてるのか?! 」 目の前を焦った様子のNPCの衛兵たちが掛けていく、これは............。 「......気のせいかな、私こんな光景を最近見た気がする」 「......同意」 チェリーとミラがそんな会話を交わしてからそんなに間をおかず―――― ――――特大の爆破音が貴族街の方から響いてきやがる......あぁ、間違いない。こういう時の俺の勘はよく当たるんだ、おそらく貴族街が本命でそこに―――― 「ハンネス、まさかこれって......」 「あぁ、間違いない......行くぞ! おめぇら! 俺たちのリベンジマッチだ!! 」 「これで終わりですかね? 」 ついさっきまで相手をしていた兵士の方の死体を蹴り転がしてどける......と言っても兵士の死体ばかりで地面が見えないほどなので、あんまり意味はないですけどね。 「例の指名手配犯だ......」 「この女が?! 」 残りの兵士さんはいち、にぃ、さん............14人程度ですか、最初の頃はそれこそゴキブリのように湧いて出てきたというのに。 残りの彼らも遠巻きにこちらを窺うばかりで何もしてきません。 「やっぱり兵隊さんだけあって鍛えてますね、筋肉の量がすごいです、繊維がビローンってなります」 こんな所までリアルなんですね? というか常々思ってますが、このゲームは所謂ゲーム的処理が少ない気がします。 戦闘中でもドロップしたわけでもないのに相手の武器を奪って使えますし、死体だって使えるし、NPCも人間と同程度で思考してる感じですしねぇ。 「お前ぇ?!! 」 おや、何もしてこないのでそこらの兵士を解体しながら人間爆弾を作っていたら突っ込んできました。なにやら怒っているようです? まぁ丁度いいので完成したばかりの人間爆弾その1を投擲して爆破しておきましょう。 ドォーーーーンッ!! ..................ボウリングのピンのように吹っ飛んでいきましたね、少し爽快な気分です。 「さて、残りを担いで先を――――」 「《熱線》! 」 「キラーショット! 」 ――――急ごうとしたら邪魔が入りましたね......麻布さんが咄嗟に《風壁》で防いでくれて助かりました。 あれ? この方たちどこかで見たような......? 「? どこかで会いました? 」 「っ! 野郎ォ......」 「ハンネス、挑発に乗るな」 新しい兵士さんか騎士の方かと思ったんですがどうやら違うようです。というより、どこかで会った気がするんですけど思い出せませんね......。 「......まぁ、戦ってるうちに思い出すでしょう」 そう結論付けて人間爆弾その2とその3を投げます。 「《聖壁》」 まぁ防がれますよね、知ってました。本命は目くらましです。 「ハッ! 」 お? 投擲したガラス片と共に突きを防がれましたよ? おそらくこの方たちはプレイヤーですね......NPCの兵士よりも楽しめそうです。 「半月前の俺たちじゃねぇぞ! 」 「......半月前? 」 「.........本当に覚えてないのか? 」 「残念ながら......」 「ぶっ殺す!! 」 知り合いのようですが覚えていません。彼が怒るのも無理ないですね、反省です。 「残酷だわ......」 「そうですね、さすがに可哀想です......」 「同意」 袈裟斬りに振るわれる斧を身体を反らして躱しながら、背後から迫る槍使いに向けて脇下からガラス片を投擲。 後ろで軽い金属音が鳴り足止めに成功したことを確認すると、すぐさま斧使いの横を通り抜け後衛を狙いますが――――剣士の振るう長剣が迫っていますのでこれを棒高跳びのように躱しながら、弓使いがたった今放った矢を火薬玉を投擲して相殺すると共に目くらまし、魔術師のお姉さんの狙いを外します。 「くっ! キャンセル! 」 上手くいったようでなによりです。視界が悪い状態で魔法を放ったら、近くにいる剣士と私の背後にいる斧使いに当たる可能性がありますからね。 すぐそこまで迫っていた槍を短刀の柄でかち上げ、懐に潜ると同時に長剣による薙ぎ払いから逃れます。 そのまま槍使いの喉か心臓を狙いますが、斜め下より斧が振るわれるのでキャンセル、槍使いの足首を引っ掛け転ばせるに留めます。 槍使いに当たるのを恐れて無理やり斧の軌道修正をして姿勢が不安定な斧使いにガラス片を投擲しますが、途中で迫ってきた剣士に邪魔され狙いがおぼつきませんでした。 斧使い自身も意地なのか無理に身をよじって、肩に刺さるだけの結果に終わりましたね。 前衛に包囲されかけていたので、起き上がろうとした槍使いを踏み台にして跳躍。そのまま剣士の頭上を飛び越えながら、後衛に牽制の火薬玉をまたプレゼントしましょう。 「《炎槍》! 」 「《小癒》! 」 魔法で相殺され斧使いと槍使いに回復が飛びましたね、やはりヒーラーから先に潰しておくべきですか......。 「おい、ハンネスのパーティーがジェノサイダーちゃんと戦ってるぞ! 」 「マジか、俺らも加勢すんぞ! 」 「祭りの時間だぁー! 」 攻防を続けているうちに他のプレイヤーが増えてきましたね............好都合です。

Chapter 17 Carry Out 2 Now then, let's start moving as the devices that I had prepared at the guard stations have just activated. The target is the lord's manor at the center of the noble district. Let's keep running until I reach there. Guard: "!! You there! Stop---" Rena: "Fuh!" I threw a piece of glass towards the gatekeeper who was guarding the gate which separates the noble district and downtown area while standing still and calling out to me. The glass pierced his throat and killed him. Then, I threw an Explosives Ball Lv. 4 (simply raised its power) at the gate with my utmost effort. ..................Did I put a bit too much of gunpowder? Not only the gate but the surrounding area was blown off as well..... If I remember correctly, there's {That} for such a time, yes? Rena: "......Te...Tehepero." .....I did it just like what I had imagined but it only gave me the shivers. I will never do that again. In any case, more and more people are coming this way so let's run through. Hannes: "Aaah~ I'm still not convinced~" Ryne: "...Hannes, again with this?" Ryne replied to my grumbling with a voice mixed with perhaps a disgusted tone, though it might be something that's inevitable. Hannes: "But, it was {Rena and Her Servants} ! The dungeon was captured for the first time by the people who have that kind of ridiculous party name, you know!?" Ryne: "It's really a shame, but it was half a month ago, you know?" Hannes: "Yeah...but...shit! If we weren't killed by that bastard..." Certainly I heard that she was last seen fleeing to the city on the north... but, can a beginner go solo the unexplored area normally? Thanks to that, the people who are complete strangers, went ahead of us. Even though I could still be convinced if it was Harold's party and the others!! Ryne: "Yeah, you were really shocked when you heard that world announcement in the middle of our review meeting..." Hannes: "Moreover, what's up with that {Genocider-chan} ...!? That bastard is not cute at all." It has even been made to be an exclusive thread as well at the Official Bulletin Board, and some copycat criminals are appearing one after another... Well, all of them will be subjugated immediately, though. The number of palace guards is widely different than on the first day, and above all, those guys are so damn weak compared to her... Kellin: "We haven't seen her figure since then, what do you guys think she's doing now!?" Kellin said so in such a carefree tone... Yeah really, what is she doing right now? At any rate, she's probably scheming something that's not going to be good, right? If I find her, I will absolutely--- DOOOOOOOOON!!! Hannes: "W-what happened?!" When I thought that I heard a sudden loud explosion, the sound continued reverberating here and there. Guard A: "Hurry! Several guard stations have been attacked!" Guard C: "Are they attacking the other guard station?!" The NPC guards looked in a hurry and didn't even try to hide it. Cherry: "...I think I have seen this kind of spectacle recently or is it just my imagination...?" Myra: "...Agree." It's been a while since Cherry and Myra have such a conversation--- ------A huge blast sound came from the noble district... Yeah, no doubt. My intuition has hit the mark at time like this, I dare say that the noble district is where the main target is--- Ryne: "Hannes, don't tell me, this is..." Hannes: "Yeah, no doubt... Let's go guys!! It's time for our revenge match!!" Rena: "With this, it's over, yes?" I kicked and tipped over the corpse of a soldier who was my opponent until a while ago......though, even if I said so, the ground around me cannot be seen anymore as a lot of soldier corpses are lying here and there. Hence, there's no meaning for what I did. Guard E: "She's that wanted criminal..." Guard D: "This girl?!" The remaining soldiers are one, two, three......... Even though they came out like cockroaches at first, it's now only 14 people, huh? The rest of them also haven't done anything and just examining the situation from a distance. Rena: "As expected from a trained soldier, yes? The amount of muscle and its fibers are great." It's realistic even to such a place, I see? Though, I always feel like this game has only a few so-called game-like processing in it. Even though they didn't drop anything while in battle, I can still steal and use my opponent's weapons. I can even use their corpses as well, and I feel like the NPCs are thinking much like human beings. Guard F: "YOUU?!!" Oya? They did not do anything while I was dissecting the soldiers around the vicinity, so I tried making a human bomb. However, when I was still making it, someone tried rushing at me. He seems to be angry, yes? Well, the timing is perfect so let's throw the first human bomb which has just been completed and blow it up. DOOOOOOONN!! ..........They were blown off like bowling pins, yes? Rena: "Now then, let's take in the rest and go---" Eleanor: "<<Heat Ray>> !" Myra: "Killer Shot!" ------Some nuisances got in the way when I tried to make haste, I see... Azabu-san immediately casted <<Wind Wall>> and saved me. Huh? Have I seen them somewhere before...? Rena: "? Did we meet somewhere before?" Hannes: "!! Bastard...." Ryne: "Hannes, don't get provoked by her." I thought they are another soldiers or knights but it seems to be different. In fact, I feel like I have met them somewhere, but I can't seem to remember anything... Rena: "...Well, I might remember it while we're fighting." I reached to that conclusion and threw the second and third human bombs. Cherry: "<<Holy Wall>> " I already know that they will defend against those as the true purpose of those are merely a distraction. Hannes: "Ha!!" Oh? They could defend against my thrust alongside the glass piece that I have thrown? These people are perhaps players, yes?...... They're more fun than NPC soldiers. Hannes: "We're not what we used to be half a month ago now!" Rena: "...Half a month ago?" Hannes: "...Do you really not remember?" Rena: "Unfortunately......" Hannes: "I will fucking kill you!!" We seemed to be acquainted somehow, but I do not remember anything. It's natural for him to be angry, yes? Kellin: "How cruel..." Cherry: "Yeah, it's pitiful indeed..." Myra: "Agree." While dodging the axe that was swung diagonally, I threw a glass piece from the flank towards the spear-user who was approaching from behind. When I confirmed that a light metal sound has successfully rung, I immediately went through the axe user's side and aimed at the rear guard but---While I was dodging the long sword from the swordsman that was drawing near with a jump similar to pole vaulting, I blocked the arrow that was just shot by the archer using an explosive ball which created a smoke screen and made the mage-oneesan lost sight of me. Eleanor: "Kh!! Cancel!" It's wonderful that she can judge well. If she casted the magic with poor visibility, she could hit the nearby swordsman and the axe-user behind me. I dodged the approaching spear with the dagger's haft immediately and aimed for the spear-user's chest as well as evading the long sword at the same time. I was trying to aim at his throat or heart as it is, but I cancelled it as an axe had been swung from below diagonally. Thus, I trapped the spear-user's ankle and made him fall over. The axe-user was afraid to hit the spear-user and forced to change his axe's trajectory. I threw a piece of glass at him who was in an unstable posture, however it was obstructed by the approaching swordsman and the glass didn't kill my target. And because of perhaps the axe-user's willpower as well, he twisted his body forcefully and as a result, the glass piece only pierced his shoulder. Let's restrain the rear guard again with explosive balls while jumping over the swordsman's head. Eleanor: "<<Flame Lance>> !" Cherry: "<<Small Heal>> !" They managed to block them all with magic and heal the spear-user and axe-user, I see? Player A: "Oi! Hannes' party is fighting with Genocider-chan!" Player B: "Seriously!? We will assist them too!" Player C: "It's festival timeeee!!" More and more players are coming while we continued exchanging offense and defense, I see....

そんな物はなんの痛痒にもならないとばかりに無視し、下段から殴りつけられます......短刀を前に出すことで防御しますが、そのままボールのように通路を吹っ飛んで転がっていきます。 ......やはりレベル差があり過ぎますね、特に半端な投擲では全然ダメージを与えられません。 「......いや、そんなつもりはありませんが?」 私はそんなにいつも何かしらを爆発させている訳ではないと思うのですがね? ......確かに国王を殺して王女を攫う時も、貴族達を襲撃した時も、今回の襲撃の時も爆発物を使いましたが......偶然ですよ。 「火遊びはしてはいけません、と......親に教えて貰わなかったのか?」 「........................私は、どうやら悪い子のようですからね」 違います、母は悪くはありません......母はいつも〝正しい〟とされる事を教えてくれました。 「そうかそうか、なるほどなぁ......だがな? 小娘よ」 左手の指に各種毒針を挟み、背に隠す事で相手の視界から遠ざけながら姿勢を低くし、各種強化ポーションによって一時的な強化を施していきます。 「......いいえ、母様は悪くありません」 ......頭の固いお爺様ですね? 母は何も悪くないと言っているでしょうに、何故分からないのでしょう? 責任があるとすればあの男のみです。 インベントリから取り出したナイフで、その聞くに堪えない口を閉じようとするも、そのまま噛み砕かれる......どんな顎をしているんですかね、この老人は。 「よいか? 小娘......どんな理由があれ、大人は子どもに〝あるべき姿〟を見せ、導き、育てる義務がある......それすら出来ず、失敗の責任すら果たせないのなら──」 腰のアイテムバックからHPポーションを取り出して一気に煽ります。......空の瓶を握り砕き、ガラス片となった物とビー玉サイズの鉄球を透明なカプセルの中に火薬と毒薬と一緒に入れます。 「確かに母様の批判に、悪いのは私だとは言いましたが......そもそも私は悪い事をしているとは思っていないんですよ」 「街を爆発させるのも、人を殺すのも、戦争を起こすのも悪い事だとは思いません」 「貴方の主人である王を殺すのも、王太子を殺すのも、 「......貴様の親の教育の失敗、儂が尻拭いしてやろう」 「......『遊び』で主君を二度も失った哀れなご老体にお気遣い頂かなくとも......ちゃんと『遊んで』、また仕えさせてあげますよ」 「子は親を選べないからのぅ......可哀想な事じゃて、こんなになるまで親に教育して貰えんかったとは」 「長い人生の最後に、主君を立て続けに失うなんて最大の汚点を飾った貴方ほどではないですよ?」

However, he didn't even bother with dodging the projectile. He just charged straight-forward and crushed the piece of rubble with his head, then attacked me again with his Naginata. ... I guess rubble won't be enough to damage him when our difference in levels is this high. "I don't like them that much...?" I replied. Though I did use explosives when I killed the king, kidnapped the princess, attacked the nobles, and on this assault on the city too... Well, they're too useful to not be used. "Didn't your parents tell you to not play with fire? Did they fail to teach you even this much?" He asked me. "... The bad girl is me. Don't throw your criticism towards mom." I replied. Mom always told me what she deemed to be correct. She was always sincere and taught me in a way that I could understand, even if I didn't necessarily agree with her at times. "Huh? Did I touch a sore spot there?" The supreme commander asked, but I didn't reply, "But you see, little girl..." As he talked, I carefully positioned myself so that he couldn't see what my left hand was doing... Which I used to prepare poison needles while my familiars used some temporary buffs to increase my strength. "They aren't. Mom is not a bad parent." I replied. "Saying that 'I told her not to do it, but she doesn't listen' is just an excuse! To fail as a parent that doesn't know how to properly educate their child!" The annoying old man kept on saying those things as he parried each of my attacks that were aimed at his vitals. I even took out a hidden knife from my inventory and tried to pierce his mouth with it, but he was able to stop it by biting the knife... Just how strong is his jaw? "You understand, little girl? Adults have the duty to raise, guide, and care for their children... If they can't do that, nor even take responsibility for their children's actions, then they're failures as parents." The old man didn't shut up... "You hear me? Your parents failed!" I took out an HP potion, drank it at once, crushed the empty bottle and put the glass shards into an iron ball that had explosives and poison inside it. After that, I continued, "Mom did tell me when I was doing wrong things, she did reprimand me when I did bad deeds... However, I don't think I've been doing anything wrong here." As I was saying this, I prepared five similar grenades to this last one and stored them in my pockets. I also asked my familiars to use more buffs on me. Then, I told him, "I don't think it was a bad thing to explode a city, kill people or start a war." "Killing the king, the crown prince, your loved ones, your co-workers, making the entire kingdom fall into Chaos... What is wrong with that?" I asked him while putting threads all around the walls and ceiling, to stop them from crumbling on top of us. "Your parents education failed thoroughly. I'll have to wipe you out, and all records of their failure with it." He told me. "I don't care about the words of an old man who lost his lord twice due to someone 'playing' around. No matter what you say, I'll keep on 'playing' and you can go find a new lord to serve." I replied. "It is truly a pity that children can't choose their parents, maybe you'd have been raised properly if you had the chance to choose better people to take care of you." He said. "Aren't you the biggest failure here? The old man who couldn't protect his lord twice?" I said.

180.第二回公式イベント・Collapsing Kingdomその17 「影山さん、伸ばしてください」 まさか口で受け止めるとは思いませんでした......流石にプレイヤーが勝つ様な想定をされていない重要NPCは面白いですね、滾ります。 ですが、私は普通のプレイヤーとは違って井上さんの膂力もあるんですよ? 「この世界にもゴリラは居るんですね」 本気で信じてそうな感じですね、やはり歳を取り過ぎててボケているんでしょうか? やめて下さいよ? ボケてたから、全盛期じゃないから......みたいな敗北の言い訳は。 相変わらずステータスの差が大きいですね......私の太刀が胴体に到達する前に、反対側にあったはずの薙刀で即座に防がれましたね。AGIでは勝っているとは思いますが......薙刀に関するスキル等の補正によって、限定的な状況下に於いてはAGIすら負けてそうです。 なんなら『虐殺器官』等を使用しても構いませんが、私が使用すれば向こうも使って来るでしょう......特殊強化は倍率強化ですし、ただ単に大きな差がさらに倍になるだけです......で、あるならば── 「どうする? 力の差は歴然......諦めて死ぬか?」 「まさか......格上殺しは人の業ですよ」 そう言って小娘の目に明確な〝殺意〟の焔が灯る......さてはて、どうするつもりかね? ──突如として足下が爆発を起こし、勢いよく飛び出たなんらかの破片等に皮膚の表面を裂かれる......いつ仕込んだかは分からぬが、これが本命で、後の大掛かりな糸の攻撃も含めて全てが囮か......思い切った事をしよる。 間髪入れずに背中に担ぐように構えた大太刀を小娘が振りかぶる......それを薙刀を横薙ぎに振り払う事で弾こうとするが──大太刀から短刀に引き戻され、空振りに終わる。 ほう、これも凌ぐか......中々に油断ならん小娘だ。......ただ単にレベル差のある敵を屠るだけかと思ったが......この娘、魔統っておるな? この手の敵と殺り合うのは何年振りかのう......さて、何が出て来てもおかしくはないが......次はどう来る? ......命の取り合いの場で笑える娘よ。

Chapter 180: The Second Event - Collapsing Kingdom - part seventeen "Kageyama, stretch." I gave this order while I dodged a downwards swing from the Naginata. Kageyama made my shortsword become an odachi just like he had done a few times before. I then rushed towards the old man and swung the odachi with varying length towards his neck, but... "Not very tasty." He commented as he bit on the odachi... Did he seriously stop it with his teeth? It's interesting to see the things that Important NPCs that weren't meant to be beaten by players can do. But... It's not like I'm alone here, you know? I have my familiars buffing me. "So there are gorillas in this world too..." I answered. Can you please focus? I don't want you to have the excuse of being too distracted during the battle when you lose... Yeah, let's pull him back to it. Killing him while he laughs off like that isn't as entertaining. He repelled them again and rushed towards me though. I tried attacking his side with my shortsword, but he parried my slash with his naginata... How bothersome, the difference in stats is too high. The only stat I am probably winning at is AGI, but the difference isn't large enough to the point that he can't react to my attacks. I could try stacking up my good buff like the 'slaughterer's organs', but he'd probably start buffing himself too if I did it. This would probably just make the stat gap between us even larger... "So, what will you do? There is a clear gap in our power. Will you just give up and die?" The old man asked me. "Of course not. It is in human nature to kill those that are stronger than them." I answered. As the girl said that it is in human nature to kill those who are stronger than them, her eyes flared up with murderous intent... What can she even do though? Strengthening? It could lower the gap in our powers, but only for as long as I didn't strengthen myself too. But then, something exploded below my feet, and some shards tore the surface of my skin. There was also a large-scale thread attack coming my way, but... Those were decoys! I then tried kicking her head with my <Demolishing Black Dragon Roundhouse Kick>, but she dodged it with a somersault and used <Shadow Double>. ... So she can use this kind of thing too? This girl isn't afraid of jumping into the fight against a stronger enemy, but she also enjoys it and keeps trying new tricks... What kind of demon is she? It's been years since I last killed this kind of enemy, but... No matter, I will do it. Not even a girl who laughs when faced with a life-or-death battle will be able to defeat me!

89.善悪攻守逆転その3 「......すごい爆発音でしたね」 「エレンさん無事ですかー?」 「......お陰様でな」 エレンさんを連れて王女様を隔離している部屋へと赴きます。その途中でも何度か強烈な爆発音が屋敷中......下手したら街まで響いていきます。 「凄い爆発音ですよね、エレンさんは大丈夫でしたか?」 ......さっきから同じ言葉しか発していませんね、あまりの恐怖にお陰様でなbotと化しましたかね? そんな事を考えているうちにも着きましたね。 「さて王女様、ご無事ですか?」 情け容赦なくエレンさんの頭を掴み割ろうとするのを胸を蹴り飛ばすことで阻止しますが、飛ぶ際に王女様を攫おうとしたので即座にしゃがみ込んで避けます。 「人助けと紳士......どちらも──」 「『宣誓・我は己の在り方を肯定する者を決して裏切らない者なり』!! ......故にジェノサイダー、いえレーナ殿......」 「......エレンさん生きてます?」

Chapter 89 - Good and Evil Role Reversal! The Attackers Are Now The Defenders! (Part 3) "That was quite the explosion..." I said to nobody in particular. Even though the explosion happened far away, probably at the back door, a very powerful heat wave and a deafening sound reached us all the way here, in the main gate. It staggered everyone in the surroundings and even blew off the poisonous gas... I suppose I should do something about that, "Adjutant, I'll be going to check what happened, so take over the command of the main gate forces." I told an officer of the Moonlight Family that was by Eren's side when we first met. As I arrived there, I called, "Eren, are you alright?" "... By the grace of the gods." He replied. He was clearly tired and was holding his head while hiding below his desk... He needs to be more energetic. "... By the grace of the gods." He repeated. Ignoring these words, I took him with me and started moving towards the room that the princess was imprisoned in. In the meantime, I heard multiple explosions echoing through the mansion. "Those are quite a few explosions, are you okay, Eren?" I asked him just to be sure. "... By the grace of the gods." He said again. Did he turn into a bot due to excessive fear? We arrived at the princess' room while I thought of such things. "Princess, are you safe?" I asked her. She did not reply and instead just glared at me. It's quite surprising that she still has the will to glare at me after all that happened, she is quite the interesting girl, "It's good that you're well. By the way, lots of people are dying for your sake right now." "... I don't know." I said as blocked one of his attacks that tried to smash Eren's head, and then jumped backwards when he tried to take the princess away from me. "Because both helping others and being a gentleman are..." As he replied, he used a long range skill with his fist, which I had to dodge while pulling Eren along. I tried counter attacking with a poison needle, but it wasn't able to penetrate his chest... Why is his skin so hard? "Acts made for one's own selfish satisfaction! <Oath, I am the one who crushes those who deny my path>" As he started chanting his oaths, he tied landing a dropkick at Eren, so I had to jump away again... His strikes are surely causing quite the damage to this mansion... "<Oath, I'm the one who never betrays those that reaffirm their own paths>! Now, Genocider... No, Lena." He started saying something, but I ignored him. "... Eren, are you still alive?" I asked, since he didn't seem to be even trying to avoid the blows aimed at him.

100.白昼堂々 「一応聞きますけどここで合ってます?」 「......答えるわけないじゃない」 王女様の口へと花子さんを突っ込み声を奪います。そのまま喋れなくなった彼女を伴ってガヴァン......でしたっけ? 爵位は確か侯爵の屋敷の正面玄関へと鉄球を《流星》で投げ込み爆破して道を開くと共に毒をばら撒きます。 「敵襲ー!!」 そのまま堂々と跡形も無くなった正面玄関から乗り込み上の階へと爆薬を投げ飛ばして風通しを良くしていきます。 「......待て、近接も強いぞ?」 「マグレではないのか......?」 こちらに突撃するのを躊躇う彼らに向かって今度はこちらから吶喊します。最初の踏み込みで足下に《噴射》を施して初速を上げ、一番前にいた方の首を右手で持った短刀で貫き、そのまま引き摺りながら一団の真ん中へと躍り出て左手で操作した鋼糸を周囲に一斉に伸ばし、花開く蕾の逆再生のように丸めて圧縮することで彼らを切り刻みます。 「......それが、裏口まで全て糸で固く閉じられていてしばらく時間がかかる」 侯爵が逃げられるか、異変に気付いて騎士団が派遣されてくるまで全力で時間稼ぎをするつもりなのか生き残りの位の高そうな兵士たちが覚悟を決めた表情をしますが......皆さん本当に職務に忠実ですね? 「い、嫌だ......あんな死に方はしたくない......」 「? リクエストですか? わかりました」

Chapter 100 - Attack In Broad Daylight "Just in case, I'm going to ask. Is this the right place?" I asked the princess. I was thinking of leaving her at the mansion, but I changed my mind and figured I'd bring her with me here. "... I'm not answering that." She replied. Now, let's get started on weakening the Crown Prince's forces. I believe the mansion in front of us is Marquis Gawain's, so let's greet them with an explosive thrown with <Meteor>, which created an explosion big enough to blow up the mansion's gates while also spreading a poisonous gas. "Enemy attack!" One of the mansion's guards shouted. Meanwhile, I entered through the front door while throwing more explosives to spread more poison around. "Do you know who you're dealing with!? This is the territory of Marquis Gawain-!" That soldier was being a bit annoying, so I threw an iron scrap at his mouth to kill him. Then, I used my threads to grab a chandelier and throw it at a group of guards that was running down the stairs from the upper floor. "She's strong in close combat too!?" One of the soldiers exclaimed. "Does she have no weakness...?" Another said. Since they seemed to be hesitating, I figured I'd take the initiative now. I used <Jet Propulsion> to quickly move forward, beheaded the nearest enemy with my shortsword, then used my threads to start cutting and compressing the other nearby soldiers before they could react. "He's having a hard time evacuating because the backdoor is sealed tight with threads..." The first one replied. It was impressive that the soldiers kept trying to buy time for the Marquis even though he was already trying to escape. They're really dedicated to their jobs. "No, please! I don't want to die like this!" One of them begged as he fell on his knees. "Okay, I can grant this request." I said as I tore his intestine out and kicked him away. He shouted in pain, but I ignored him and moved forward, "Does anybody else has a request?" They stayed silent, "Then I'm going." I said as I rushed forward while thinking about what I'd do to 'play' with them.

181.第二回公式イベント・Collapsing Kingdomその18 「《影槍・一式》」 飛来する槍を上段からの振り下ろしで弾こうとしますが、直前で黒煙を噴き出しながらバラけ、円状に細かく別れた槍を殺到させます。 同時に彼の目線で極小規模の爆発しか起こさない火薬玉を投げ、意識と視界を一瞬だけ逸らしつつ『隠密』スキルを発動します。 「《影槍・二式》」 「《流水流転》」 「《影槍・三式》」 「ぬ? ......ほう? まぁ敵の回復手段を奪うのは常套よな」 これから私は三分以内に敵から指定した物を奪わないとペナルティとして、暫くの間《拘束》の状態異常によってAGIが半減します......が、成功すれば敵のMPを何%か減らせます。 ですが彼の目の前でナイフが──正確にはそれに括り付けられた火薬玉が起爆して敵の視界を奪い、すかさず『隠密』スキルで隠れます。 「なにやら孫におちょくられている気分だわい」 おかしいですね? 『歌唱』スキルと『詐称』スキルによって反対方向から私の声が聞こえたはずですのに......普通に対応されてしまいした。 「次はどんな煙か? 他の色もあったりするのか──」 「《フラッシュ》」

Chapter 181: - The Second Event - Collapsing Kingdom - part eighteen "<Shadow Spear - Type One>" I threw the shadow spear towards the old man, ran towards him, then pulled a thread to limit his movement. He tried to deflect the spear with his Naginata, but instead of flying away, the Shadow Spear exploded into a black smoke cloud and multiple smaller spears. At the same time, I also threw an explosive towards him to further increase the smoke and activated the <Stealth> skill while he was distracted, in order to get out of his line of sight. Then, I used, "<Shadow Spear - Type Two>" making a large number of spearheads grow from the ground, piercing the enemy's feet, locking him in place. He immediately broke through both the Type One and Type Two spears, but that doesn't matter. "<Everchanging Stream>!" The old man shouted. "<Shadow Spear - Type Three>" In order to stop his 'Everchanging Stream' from diverting my 'Fatal Blow', I used the 'Type Three' to make spears fall in a semicircle from the sky. Due to that, his deflecting skill was naturally diverted towards the path of the spears by the system, as they were arriving first, letting my shortsword move freely towards his neck. He laughed when looking at me, "It's only natural to remove the means of recovery of the enemy!" He exclaimed. "<Stealth>" I used it once again while throwing explosives and quickly moving towards him with my threads. I tried using this opportunity to take a potion from his pocket, but he stopped it with his high AGI, now that he was no longer petrified. However, because he was busy dealing with me, he couldn't stop the explosive from releasing smoke right on his face, blocking his field of vision once more. "I feel like I'm playing with my grandchildren right now!" He exclaimed. "There!" As he exclaimed that, he kicked me away... How strange. I used misdirection skills that should have made my voice come from a different location, but he found me as soon as I said something. "So, what kind of smoke will come next? Are there any other colors in your stock?" He asked. "<Flash>" I used Santa's Light Magic to send a bright light towards the old man's eyes.

Nameless Adventurer Yuu, you really ...... 343. Nameless Adventurer I just came here, what's the situation? 344. Nameless Adventurer I've never been so jealous of someone. 345. Nameless Adventurer Let me explain it to you simply. An anti Yuu says he wants to kill Yuu in a light hearted way as a joke. Red Crow, a top player specializing in fighting his opponents, happens to hear this and takes on the job for free. However, this Red Crow is a clunker and attacks unrelated people until he meets the target of the request. Saintess Maria is attacked when he's starting to accumulate a little bit of hate. Everyone calls out for Yuu, and Yuu rushes in to answer the call. The situation became a festival for a while. However, Yuu's skills and combinations of skills are so intriguing that more and more people become sympathetic to the Red Crow. Some people started to support Red Crow's side as a joke. The people who are more comfortable with the situation notice that Yuu is hugging Maria. They start to get jealous and start writhing. Realize that the red crow is acting like a girl. They start defending the Red Crow more and more. The Red Crow, who should have lost, moves like a girl in love for the first time. Jealousy reaches its peak. 346. Nameless Adventurer Is he an idiot? 347. Nameless Adventurer 348. Nameless Adventurer Well, Now, I can understand why they're jealous. 349. Nameless Adventurer He's really surrounded by beautiful girls. 350. Nameless Adventurer And yet, he usually hangs out with the verification team. Usually, Maria and Rena are the ones who ask him out, right? ...... Wow, I'm going crazy with jealousy! 351. Nameless Adventurer Hmmm, this is a natural romantic comedy hero ...... 352. Nameless Adventurer It's fine to read about them in novels, but when there's a romantic comedy hero in real life, all I get is negative feelings. 353. Nameless Adventurer But, can you guys help Maria like that in that condition gallantly? Can you fight off a top player who specializes in fighting people? You can't, right? 354. Nameless Adventurer It hurts my ears when you say that. 355. Nameless Adventurer Yes, it's good to report useful verification results, and the ability to do so is in good hands. ...... 356. Nameless Adventurer We can only be jealous of them. ...... 357. Nameless Adventurer Hey ......, I just heard a world announcement: ...... Did any one of you? 358. Nameless Adventurer It's the Genocider girl again! 359. Nameless Adventurer I've been dealing with my own ugly feelings, and now this... I'm all messed up. 360.

Nameless Adventurer Sad news: The perverted gentleman has been chosen as the new sea god priest. 363. Nameless Adventurer Let's go easy on him a little bit. 364. Nameless Adventurer I'm drowning in a flood of information, aren't I? 365. Nameless Adventurer I wonder why he is picked out of all the possible choices. 366. Nameless Adventurer But this means the player can take an important NPC position, right? 367. Nameless Adventurer Uh, sure ...... 368. Nameless Adventurer So there's a chance we can be just like the important NPCs ......??? 369. Nameless Adventurer Even if there is, don't do it.

「それで兄上はのこのこと逃げ帰ったわけですか」 「......あぁ、そうだ、奴は危険すぎる」 「混沌の眷属の中でもあの女は濃密な気配を発していた、ただの小娘と侮るべきではない」 「はっ! それこそ兄上が自身の失敗をうやむやにしたいだけでは?」 「そのようなことは決してない! 相手は辺境勇士アレクセイを討ち取り、軍隊すら相手にできる化け物だ!」 「くくっ、兄上はよほど女性が恐いと見える」 なんという侮辱か! なにも知らないから笑えるのだ!! 目の前に対峙した時のあの絶望感! 濃密な混沌の気配! あれが王都に迫っているというのに! 「ジュラル殿下! たとえ第二王子といえども王太子殿下の侮辱は看過できませんぞ!」 「ふん、そのうちジュラル殿下は第二王子ではなくなる」 「......ヴェルディ侯爵、何が言いたい?」 「いやなに、小娘一人にビビる男とそれを咎める勇猛な男、どちらがより人を導くに相応しいか......少し気になっただけですよ」 とうとう耐え切れず私の側近の一人であるガヴァン侯爵が怒鳴るがそれをさらに煽られる......これまでの挑発にもはや私の派閥の者は怒り心頭に発しており、限界だ。 「——双方やめよ」 「しかし父上!」 「......ジュラルよ、私がいつ発言を許可した?」 「っ! 申し訳ございません......」 野心家の弟にも困ったものだ......焦りすぎてボロを出し、その失敗を挽回するためにまた無茶をする......そこまでして玉座が欲しいか。 「グィーランの報告が嘘か本当かに関わらず対策は必要であろう、であるからして——」 「——失礼します! 緊急の報告です!」 「よい、発言を許可する」 「ハッ! たった今辺境派遣軍の生き残りが帰還致しました!」 「......生き残り?」 ............嫌な予感がする、まさかとは思うがさすがにあの人数をどうこうできるとは考えにくい、しかしながら対峙したあの恐怖を思うと否定もできない。 「ハッ! 王太子殿下が撤退なされた後に交戦、しかしながら一刻ばかりで指揮系統は破壊され、軍のおよそ八割が死亡、または重傷者の壊滅状態とのこと!」 「どういうことであるか!?」 それきり陛下は目を瞑り考え込んでしまう......私が率いていたのは連隊規模の軍隊で3000人は居たはず......それが壊滅など冗談でも笑えない。 「いよいよ兄上の失敗が浮き彫りになりましたな! このような危険人物をみすみす見逃し、王都に招くなど!」 「お言葉ですがジュラル殿下、グィーラン殿下は命を狙われたのですぞ! それこそ玉座を狙うそちらの差し金ではないのですか!」 「......殿下どう見ますか」 「正直なところわからない......確かに弟は秩序に属してるとは言えないが混沌に属していなかったはずだ」 「確かにそうかも知れませぬが第二王子は野心がありすぎる。それに王子自身ではなく派閥の誰かの独断という線もあります」 「......私の固有スキルが混沌陣営にとって目障りな事態でもあったか?」 「隠されたものを見つける能力でしたか......充分にありえますな」 ............とりあえず、今私が死ねばこの国は混乱するのは間違いない。 「そうならないためにも対策は必須でしょう」 「わかっている、父上にも許可を取って指名手配した」 これで渡り人たちにも協力が仰げるが......どうなるだろうか。

"And then you ran away from her?" My younger brother asked. "Yes, she's too dangerous." I answered. "The woman had more Chaos within her than anyone I had ever seen, she should not be underestimated." I clarified. "Aren't you just trying to find excuses for your failure?" My brother said. "That's not it. The enemy is someone that could defeat not only Alexei, but also my whole battalion!" I explained. My brother started laughing though, "Seems like you're very scared of women... You should have just invited her to your carriage and shook her hips!" His comment made his followers burst into laughter. It's ridiculous, they can only laugh because they are not aware of the despair I felt when she emanated all that Chaos. And to think she is coming to the capital next... "Your highness Jural. Even as the second prince, you cannot insult his highness, the crown prince, like that!" Marquis Gawain, one of my followers, said. "That's not an issue, for his highness Jural won't be the second prince for long." Marquis Verdi commented. "... What are you implying?" Marquis Gawain asked. "Isn't it a given that a brave man is better suited to lead the nation than a coward who is afraid of one little girl?" Marquis Verdi said. "You little..." Marquis Gawain was clearly angry, and so was the rest of my faction. They were obviously provoking us, and my followers were reaching their limits. "Stop, both sides." My father said, and the entire room, me and my brother included, bowed to him. "Both of you already made your points, to continue showing hostility towards the royal family will be considered an act of treason. It is a disgrace for anyone with a claim to the throne to show this kind of behavior." "But father!" My brother shouted. "Jural, did I give you permission to speak?" My father stopped him. "I apologize." My brother said. Having this ambitious younger brother is troublesome... I wish to hurry up and make amends for this failure in order to avoid further conflict, but I would have to be crazy to try facing that woman again... But how far will he go to take the throne if I don't make it clear that it is mine...? "We will have to take measures to handle this case, regardless of how truthful Gillian's report is." Father said. It seemed like he was about to wrap things up, but we were interrupted by the room's door being flung open. "Apologies for the interruption, but there is an urgent report!" The messenger who just arrived said. "You have permission to speak." Father said to the messenger. "Sir! The survivors from the Frontier's Expedition Force have returned!" The messenger reported. "Survivors?" Someone said. I have a bad feeling about this. It's a good thing that there were some survivors at least, but I can't imagine what state they'll be at now, not after facing that woman... "Sir! After the Crown Prince retreated, they engaged with the enemy. However, their chain of command was quickly destroyed and most of the soldiers were killed soon after. About 80% of the battalion was either killed or heavily injured!" The messenger reported. "How could this be...!?" Another exclaimed. "Is that so...?" Father said and closed his eyes to think. I was leading a battalion of 3000 soldiers, to have them basically wiped out like this, it is no laughing matter... "My brother's failure becomes clearer and clearer with each passing moment! How could he possibly let such dangerous person escape and now threaten the royal capital!?" My brother exclaimed... It was hard to not sigh at it. "The enemy seems to be aiming at the lives of the royal family! Shouldn't one with a position as important as the Crown Prince prioritize his safety in this predicament!?" Marquis Gawain replied. "... What are your thoughts, your highness?" Marquis Gawain asked me after the meeting was over. "I'm not sure. I did expect my brother to try sending someone after me eventually, but I doubt even he would deal with someone so strongly aligned with Chaos." I answered. "That might be true, though the second prince is not the only ambitious person in his faction. Maybe one of his followers sent that woman without his knowledge." Gawain said. It's not impossible, but I don't think that's it... It's true that she was aiming for my life though, and I don't think that she'd really aim for a Crown Prince just for fun, no matter how chaotic she is, it would be too dangerous... Nonetheless, I do not think it was Jural. There must be some other reason... "Perhaps my unique skill was seen as troublesome for the Chaos faction?" I wondered out loud. "The ability to notice that which is hidden... It's possible." Gawain replied. I stayed silent for a bit while pondering over it, before saying, "... I can't die just yet." My death would create chaos in this country. My brother and sister would both enter a bloody succession war... "It's essential to take preventive measures now in order to avoid a bleak future." Gawain replied. "I'm aware. For now, I got permission from father to put that woman as a wanted person, hopefully that should buy us some time." I answered. With this, we'll get the aid of the migrants at the very least, but... Will it be enough?

「大公選挙について語る前に、先ずはこの国の成り立ちと各都市と商会の役割とイデオロギーについて語らねばなりませン」 この『メッフィー商業立国』の成り立ちは少し特殊であるらしく、その都市の並びから建国に於ける クエストNo.番外 依頼者:ギラン 依頼内容:特定の勢力に加担し、大公位を簒奪しろ。 注意:ワールドクエストはゲーム内のシナリオや今後に深く関わるクエストです。その成否に関わらず受け直す事も何度も受ける事も出来ません。 受注しますか? Yes / No ......おっと、本当に久しぶりに来ましたね、ワールドクエストが......『クレブスクルム解放戦線』以来ですか、あれ以来私以外のプレイヤーの皆さんも他のワールドクエストをクリアしていたみたいですが......一人で二個目を受けた方は私の他に居るのでしょうか? ......まぁどうでもいいです、とりあえずYesを押してギランさんを見つめます。 「じゃあギランさんはこれを翻訳して雇い主であるぐ、ぐ......ぐれ......」 「......そうです、その方に私の手紙を翻訳して渡して下さい」 「なぜ私ガ?」

Gillian seemed to be troubled by that, but he continued on with his explanation, "You want to understand the Grand Duke election better, right? The current situation is a bit complicated, and its roots go back to how the current structure of the country was formed. "Basically, this used to be a monarchy with fairly oppressive rulers in it. The merchants were sick of the excessive taxes, so they started slowly trying to dwindle the power of the royal family by making particularly disadvantageous deals with the royalty, taking some lands to themselves in order to collect debt and many other methods. Quest No. Extra Commissioner: Gillian Task: Support one of the factions or usurp the post of Grand Duke Note: World Quests heavily alter the future and, regardless of success or failure, they cannot be taken again. Do you accept? Yes/No Oh my, it's been quite a while since my last World Quest, hasn't it? Last one was the Krebskulm Liberation Front if memory serves me right... I guess other players must have gotten World Quests in the meanwhile, but I wonder if there was anybody else that got two of them. Well, let's not mind that and accept the quest. So, for now, let's work with what we have, "Gillian, translate this message and send it to your employer, G-G-Greg..." I started saying, but I forgot his name already... "Yes, that one. Translate and hand over my letter to this guy." I told him. "Why me!?" He asked.

「『拳撃・深海』!! 」 青黒い水とオーラを纏い拳打が放たれるのを、鉄球砲弾を『流星・暗色』で投擲し、相殺とまではいかなくとも勢いを殺したところで体術スキル『流水』にて無理やり受け流しますが............。 「っぐぅ! 」 結構痛いですよこれは......二の腕が削り取られましたね、直ぐに三田さんが回復してくれますが確認している余裕もありません。 上からの殴り付けを首を横に反らして躱し、半ば滑るように足首を裏から引っ掛け転ばします。 「むぅん! 」 それをむしろ後方にバク転する形で利用して距離を取りながら蹴り込まれる。 それを寸前で躱しながら毒針と鉄球を投擲しますと、いくらかは迎撃されますが数本刺さります。 「『アンチドート』......むっ?! 解毒されない? 」 どうやら成功のようです。それは正確には毒ではなく薬ですからね、毒状態ですらありません。ポーションの肉体活性化作用を抽出して煮詰めた物で、常に筋肉が痙攣し疲労状態を継続させるものです。 「まだ隠し玉があったか......」 「さて......」 会話もそこそこに攻防が再開されます。短刀による振り下ろしをおそらくスキルで硬くした左拳で防がれるが、『溶断』によって半ばから断ち切る。 「ぬぅっ?!! 」 そのまま手首の返しで断ち切った断面に短刀を突き入れるが、咄嗟に腕を曲げられ肘までしか破壊できなかったうえに、逆の拳で胸を強かに打ち付けられる。 「ぐぷっ?! 」 寸前に後方に飛び衝撃を和らげるが、咳き込んでしまう。そこを見逃す彼ではなく、すぐ様衝撃と音を置き去りにして突っ込んでくるのを迎撃するべく構える。 下からの振り上げを受け流し、短刀の横薙ぎを首を捻ることで躱され、頬を薄く切るに留まる。 短刀の突きを逸らされ、振られる拳を躱し、水月への蹴り上げを防がれ、頭突きを腕をクロスして防ぐ............互いにまともな一撃は入れられていませんが、それでもHPがガリガリと削られていくのがわかります。 埒が明かないのでここで勝負に出ましょう............。 「ふぅ......」 一度呼吸を整え精神を統一し............一気に駆ける!! 「っ?! 」 自身に小さな針でドーピングを施し、一時的な超スピードを得ます。相手がまだ反応できてないのを確認し、そのまま短刀の柄で顎をかち上げ、姿勢を低くして足首を掴み回って遠心力を付けて投げ飛ばす。 そのまま追うように走り抜け、相手の背後から腰を蹴り飛ばしながらうなじ、肩、背中に毒針を刺しておく。 相手が崖際に倒れ込んだ好機を逃さないためにすぐ様追撃しましょう、短刀を顔の横で構えて『闇刃』で首を狙って――――― 「――――――舐めるなよっ!! 」 ロノウェさんの両腕の刺青が青白く輝き、残った右腕による正拳突きにより短刀ごと左手首から先が吹き飛ばされる。 「終わりだ、ここで死ね――――」 さらに輝きを増した腕に水を纏わせ、私の心臓目掛けて打ち込まれるが――――― 「死ぬのはあなたですよ――――――」 「―――――がぶぅっ?!! 」 ――――――――ロノウェさんあなた、まともに短剣を扱ったことないでしょう? 「ごふっ! ............まさか自分の武器で殺られるとはな、だが」 「............一緒に死んでもらうぞ? 」 ..................なるほど、すぐ後ろは崖、下は荒れる外海ですからね? 死なば諸共というやつですか............。 「死ぬならお一人でどうぞ」 「いいや、一緒に来てもらう」 腕を引こうとしますが全然離れませんね。物凄い握力で握られています............仕方ありません。 「......山田さん」 私が呼びかけると後方に飛んだはずの短刀がその場で浮き、こちらに向かって飛んでくる。そのまま短刀は私の残っていた右腕を切り飛ばす。 「なっ?! 」 「............では今度こそさよならです、とても楽しかったですよ」 身体が離れると同時にロノウェさんの腹を蹴り飛ばし、崖の下へと突き落とす。 「..................本当になんでもアリだな」 その最期の言葉を呟きながら、ロノウェさんは海へと落ちていきました。少しして着水の音が聞こえたのを確認し、その場に座り込みます。 右腕と左手を失ってなんとか勝てました......やはり現時点ではプレイヤーよりも特殊なNPCの方が強く、楽しめますね。今も三田さんたちが回復してくれてますが、強力な身体強化の代償に回復効率が体感十分の一程度に落ちていますね............。 「少し休んだらすぐに街に戻りますよ」 そう山田さんたちに告げ、しばし戦いの余韻に浸るのでした。

"<Deep Sea Fist>!!" The punch emitted blue-blackish water aura and that was countered with an iron ball bomb <Dark Meteor>, but it was not enough to cancel the attack out, so to lessen the impact, I used the physical skill <Stream>. "Ugh!" This was quite painful... both of my arms were almost scraped off. It could be treated by Santa immediately, but I have no time for that. I dodged the punch from above by moving my head to the side, I hooked his ankle mid-air to trip him. "Mun!" He took advantage of that and tried to place some distance between us by kicking me and making a back flip. I avoided that by inches and tried to counterattack with poisonous needles and iron balls. Most were deflected but some were successful. "<Antidote>... Ugh?! I can't nullify the poison?" It seems to be a success. Well, to be precise, it's not poison but medicine, so he's not in the state of being poisoned. The potions' physical activation effects were drawn out and condensed such that it could cause muscle spasms and a continuous state of fatigue. "So you had a wild card..." "Well then..." Enough of the conversation and let's continue with the attacks. I took the shortsword and tried to stab him, but he probably used skills to harden his left fist as defense. However, I used <Hot Severance> to cut through. "Ugh?!!" Just like that, I sliced his wrist with the shortsword, he immediately bent his arm so I could only destroy up to his elbow; he then used his other fist and struck my chest with great force. "Gugh?!" Moments before that, I jumped back and softened the impact but I ended up coughing from the pain. He did not miss that and immediately attacked me swiftly and I braced myself for that. I received the swing from below and he avoided my shortsword's blade by twisting his neck to the side, leaving only a small cut on his cheek. The thrust of the shortsword was deflected and I avoided his fist. I kicked his solar plexus with an upward kick but he dodged that. I crossed my arms to avoid his head-butt... Both of us were unable to land a decent blow towards each other, but even so our HPs were gradually declining. Since the outcome's still undecided, let's put an end it soon... "Fu..." I gathered my breath again and stabilized my mind... it's time to finish him once and for all!! "?!" I doped myself with a small needle and gained temporary super speed. After confirming that the opponent could not react to me, I struck his chin with the pommel of the shortsword from below and lowered my posture before grabbing his ankles and throwing him off with centrifugal force. I chased after him immediately and kicked his hips from the back while sticking poisonous needles into his shoulders and back. I immediately continued the attack to keep the pressure on him. At this rhythm he'd either die to my damage, or by falling off the nearby cliff. I swung the shortsword towards his neck with the <Dark Blade> skill-- "---Don't look down on me!!" The tattoos on Ronove's arms shone bluish-white and he used his remaining right arm to block my shortsword's blow and also tore my entire left wrist off. "It's the end, you'll die here---" To increase the light intensity, he poured water onto his arm before aiming straight for my heart next--- "You are the one who's going to die---" "---Gah?!!" Ronove probably hasn't dealt with daggers before. Even though he kept one in his belt, it was probably just for appearance's sake... You need to properly place them in your belt, otherwise you risk having it stolen by your opponent mid-battle and used directly against you... Like this. "It's my win." I twisted the dagger that was stuck in Ronove's heart as I talked to him. "Gofu... To think that I'd be killed with my own weapon, but." "... I'll have you die with me." ... I see, the cliff is right behind and there's the rough open sea below. He's the type to take others down when he's going to die huh... "If you're going to die, go ahead and die alone." "No, you are coming with me." I tried to pull my hand, but it wouldn't budge. He's grabbing me with tremendous force... it cannot be helped it. "... Yamada." When I called, the shortsword which should have flown far from us, floated in the air and headed towards me. Then, it sliced my remaining right arm. "What?!" "... Goodbye for good this time. It was fun." While separating from Ronove, I kicked his stomach, pushing him down the cliff. "... Everything's really possible." While muttering his last words, Ronove fell into the sea. After confirming the sounds of water splashes, I sat down on the spot. I managed to win somehow by losing my right arm and left hand... It seems that at the moment, special NPCs are stronger compared to players, so I had fun. I will recover soon due to Santa's help, but because I used the physical reinforcement, the recovery efficiency has dropped to one-tenth of what it was... "I'll take a short rest before returning to the streets." I told Santa that and basked in the aftermath of the battle for a while.

Rena: [Because this has become more lively, how about I choose new support skills as well?] - [[Increases buff effects received from the master<<Small>> ]] (TL Note: I changed Yamada-san's <<Armor Possession>> to <<Arms Possession>> ) <<Encouragement>> and <<Leadership>> are both skills that will raise the status of allies in the party when in battle, while <<Command>> is a skill that can give instructions to followers and summoned beasts without speaking aloud. I have selected and purchased the skills that seem to be easy to use. At the same time, let's also purchase resistance skills that is difficult to get with my own effort. -------- Oh? I heard footsteps while I was hunting some monsters. All the monsters in this area are floating or dragging their legs like the zombies, but conversely, these footsteps are loud, hence none of them could apply to this. Besides, these footsteps belong to humans or something similar... Is it another player? For now, let's erase my presence and sounds as much as possible while being cautious...... Rena: [......] I see, seems like they're at the other side of that corner. I could also hear their voices. Hannes: [Shit! I still can't forgive that asshole!] Ryne: [Calm down Hannes, there's no point in getting angry now, right?] Hannes: [But, you know! What's up with that girl!? She suddenly killed the Tutorial NPC, performed PKs, and even took a child as a shield, isn't that fucked up!?!] My name is Hannes---of course, this is my player name---I'm really furious as the event that had occurred a couple of hours ago still influenced strongly within me. The one who caused my anger appeared suddenly in the middle of players, with the same outfit as the beginners---in fact she was the same like them---approached the Tutorial NPC and killed him just like that. He was an NPC that took care of us from the beta version. He was really popular as he had a friendly character that won't change in any way towards us players and could also take consultation. Thus, it was a given that we were taken aback by it. But there wasn't that much time to spare...... because, in a short time, she killed the players around him, and thus the place was thrown into a whirlpool of chaos. Even so, there were still people who moved and tried to capture or defeat her quickly, and I was also one of them. We successfully surrounded her at the expense of an acquaintance from the beta version. Even with this, I had confidence in my gaming skills. However, my axe was easily dodged, and with that spare amount of moment, I took a headshot from the thrown dagger and respawned. I'm still furious even to this day---!!!!! Cherry: [I also think that person is bad...] Hannes: [Right!? See, Ryne! Cherry also thinks like that, aren't you her childhood friend? You don't have anything to say to someone that was killed right in front of you with the kid that she was trying to help?] Ryne: [Even I'm frustrated, but there's no point in saying this now, right? It's because she's nowhere to be seen for now, we can resume on advancing the game like this] Hannes: [That's true, but still...] Eleanor: [Yes yes, let's stop it right there. You could continue it after this pursuit is over, okay?] It's the magician, Eleanor, who intervened and said so. It's true that there's no point in saying it right now just like what they said... but I think that, Eleanor at that time looked like a demon or maybe a mountain wit--- I'm not thinking anything, I'm not thinking so please stop looking at me with such eyes........... Hannes: [My bad, I got too hot-headed there, forgive me...] Ryne: [No, it's okay, I could also understand the pain] Kellin: [Yeah you know it! My neck was bent backward and snapped! That was a trauma for me...] Myra: [...I also thought that my heart would stopped when my arrow pierced that child.] Certainly, it's not only me, both the spear-user Kellin and the archer Myra also had a bitter experience too, yeah... Especially, Kellin... He was really pitiful..... He still has a faraway look on him ever since... Hannes: [Everyone... Alright! Let's be the first group to clear this area! We won't lose next time!] Rena: [----Good afternoon, please don't get too careless in a place like this.] When I thought that I could hear the voice of an unfamiliar woman, a dagger was stuck on Eleanor's neck, and Cherry's head had just fallen in the back....

However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. Someone summarize it to me? The two people found each other in the city, and they did pvp while betting on their important things... One person bet their first kiss, while the Perverted Gentleman betted his pervertedness. Why would anyone agree to this kind of bet!? Lol! Well, that was something. As a player of the Order faction, I can't allow you to do that, as it would disrupt the game's environment. As a player of the Chaos faction, I wanna do it because I'm jealous. I wanna be a neutral player that serves as a third wheel when couples are dating! Lol! Hold on a second. Chaos: Psychopath madwoman. Neutral: Crazy man that only cares for his Karma Value. Love!? With lady Maria!? Not with the Saintess... Isn't Yuu her boyfriend by the way? I now wanna know about the progress of their relationship! Lol! Me too! Yeah, me too! If anyone in your party randomly fell down laughing, I bet this thread is the cause! Lol! Well, she's one of the few top players that actually feels kind and gentle, I guess? And she just happened to be on the right place and right time to get a sudden burst of followers running after her... And well, she won't kill you at first sight, unlike the Genocider. We'll lose lady Maria... Could Maria be in love with Yuu? I guess Yuu will be hunted again soon... Some people are already running around while shouting Yuu's name... I wonder how many times he was attacked by now... I bet he is used to it at this point. Let us pray for his safety... How did Maria's lips taste like!? How far have you gone with Maria!? What's your favorite food? Where do you live? Nowhere. Chocolate. No. He actually answered it! Lol! Have you really done nothing with lady Maria!? I'm curious too! What do you think of Maria? What's the color of your underwear!? He ran away... Yeah, he definitely refused answer due to shyness... It's okay, like this we can peep over their relationship in peace. I'm so jealous... I wish I was good enough to kill Yuu. I really envy him... Eh? Who? I think he is #7 on Chaos right now. Simple. Well, aiming for a celebrity is one way of getting famous. Well, I'm ready for it, so let's see how it goes. You all can see the results later. And here I was worrying for Yuu for no reason! Lol! Thank you for your hard work!

This is a general discussion thread. Feel free to write about whatever you want. However, if you do not follow the minimum rules, your post will be deleted. Previous thread: http://********** Please use the next thread (General thread 559) once this one reaches 980 comments. Link to that thread will be posted later. What is that? Are you saying Genocider is trying to set up a bank? Not only that, but Absolute Inviolable Area seems to have started a large-scale agricultural reform as well. I got a baaad feeling about this... lol So there's someone out there trying to cheat his way into bringing serious domestic affairs into an adventure fantasy world game? That's way too serious for this game lol I'd rather cheat my way into getting some information useful to the game instead of some half-assed domestic affairs stuff... I thought I was playing a fantasy MMORPG but it turns out it's now an economy simulator Wait, so this means that those two people started such large-scale reforms at the same time...? Ah... Please stop... Come on, this is a fantasy game! Let's not try to modernize it or make an all-out war out of it... There's no way it'll get to that point! Calm down! I see, so Lady Rena has established a bank... I have to pay tribute! I don't care if she seizes my assets... no, I actually hope she does! Look at those Genorers going at it again lol These are people who have never been recognized by the very person they idolize... They're a different type of "fearless"... Here's our chance to pay tribute! "Our chance to pay tribute" lol The news of a bank being established in the game had quite an unexpected impact... So is there a way to donate to her then..:? lol We'll be contributing to a new era! So is there a way to operate like that? Depositing money into someone's bank just 'cause you're a fan of that person... I dunno... Well, I don't think I'll do it because I wouldn't actually be able to recover from getting foreclosed by her lol The mechanism of a bank is something that even we don't understand, and they're letting people whose civilization level is around the Middle Ages do it... If you suddenly see a foreclosure coming your way, you should withdraw all your assets. What do you mean? ...We can use it too, right? Imagine if every time you die, you get 10% of your money deducted... and if you respawn, you get another 10% taken from you... But assets increase little by little due to interest rates, right? This makes me wonder why didn't the GMs introduce a banking system to this game? There's been a safe-deposit box system from the start... but they charge a fee It's like a prototype of a bank, huh...? I never used it, tho Well, even though it may be a bank, it won't be able to issue things like government bonds, but the fact that it will still be able to do some primitive form of tax collection makes me feel uncomfortable. As someone who knows a thing or two about history, I don't know if those who don't know much about history will feel this sense of discomfort Well, whether the common folk have this sense of discomfort or not doesn't make much of a difference after all I don't really care whether or not we get to have banks in a fantasy world, I just wanna go on an adventure What about the fact that there's people out there trying to bring money issuance to a fantasy world, hmm? Oh no... Oh no! Please don't go there Ah, this matter is getting more and more serious by the minute... [Breaking news] Genocider, Absolutely Inviolable Area, and the Pervert Gentleman clash in the capital of the Bourfoin Empire Ah, this is already so messed up... From the north, Genocider continues to advance while slaughtering men and women of all ages! From the south, Absolutely Inviolable Area mercilessly kills the sick and wounded of the slums, right after helping them! And from the west, the Pervert Gentleman displays his blushing cheeks as he appears with his oiled up body, wearing a pair of shiny beach trunks! But these weirdos are really something else... So KSO finally has their own weirdo version of the Three Musketeers! The Three Weirdo Musketeers? On one side, Rena, the most famous person in this game! "I like to tread over human life as if I'm crushing ants underfoot" On the other side, Absolutely Inviolable Area, whose actions have taken a 180 degree turn as a strong conviction has shaken his very core! "I help children only to kill them right after" And finally, the Pervert Gentleman! "Ah... Aaaahhh... I'm... Ahhhhhh~!" (Climax) Someone please call Hannes and the others! Oh no, they don't seem to be online! And yet he goes around saying cool stuff to Genocider like "I'll scold you"! > The NPCs stared in horror as they witnessed the moment their hero turned into a monster Agh, it's no use! I can't catch up with both the live commentary and this thread! I feel kinda bad for the NPCs lol I bet they really are terrified to see "the moment their hero turned into a monster" lol What are we going to do with this...? Don't you dare run away! You better do something about this! The Pervert Gentleman is there already, so it should be okay... maybe That old man who has already broken the spirit of the NPCs? mmkay The capital of the Bourfoin Empire really is out of luck lol "Out of luck" isn't exactly how I'd put it lol Well, Hannes must be busy too haha But you'd expect a top player such as him to take some kind of action in this situation, right? It's kind of common sense It's like he has no common sense as one of this game's top players lol Look at the hard facts The agent of Order: An oddball The agent of Chaos: A complete lunatic The agent of Neutrality: A total weirdo These are "The Three Apex Weirdos" that will go down in the history of KSO for many generations to come This case will be known as "The meeting of the top weirdos" hahaha I've been laughing so much now that my stomach actually hurts lol Ah, I'm really glad I'm not part of this game's management... lol These weirdos can really only be seen from afar, huh...

ログインしてすぐに王都から出て少し進んだ先にある街道にて勝手に敗走した帝国軍兵士の死体が散乱しています。どうやら王国側は敵兵を弔うことはしたくなく、プレイヤーはなぜか時間が経っても消えない死体にどうしていいかわからないでいるようです。 「あ、そういえばもう喋っていいですよ」 「......なし............この、人でなし......!!」 「? 人ですが?」 「あなたみたいな女を人間と認めないわ! 地獄に堕ちてしまいなさい!! この人でなし!!」 ......あぁ、もしかして『普通』とか『一般論』的なことを王女様は言っているんですかね? うーん、それは未だに『勉強中』としか言えませんねぇ......現実の学校でも上手く溶け込んでいたつもりでしたが、ユウさんとマリアさん曰く『少しズレてる』との事でしたし......案外『多数派に迎合』することは簡単じゃありませんね。 「あれですよ、王族たるもの少数派の意見にも耳を傾けないと──」 「──あなたのは少数派の意見でも人間の意見でもないわよ!!」 あれ、おかしいですね......自分ではどこか『普通』と違っておかしいという認識自体はありましたが、それは圧倒的少数派だからであって多数派から見ておかしいのだと......昔は同性愛者や自分の属する性別らしくない言動を取れば理不尽な非難に遭っていたという話でしたから、それと同じようなものだとばかり思っていたのですが? 「あなたは人じゃないわ、化け物よ......精神的に人外よ......」 「これでも上手く溶け込めるように頑張っているんですけどね......っと」 《カルマ値が大幅に下降しました》 もはや半ば日常となったいつもの通知を聞き流して次はどうやって『遊び』を盛り上げようかと思案します。

As soon as I logged in, I immediately went to the place that a bunch of imperial soldiers had been killed at without my permission while they marched towards the capital, "Seems like there are quite a few of them left." I said as I looked at their bodies. I suppose the people from the kingdom didn't really want to give them a proper burial, and the players didn't really know what to do with the bodies either. ... Ah, right, I almost forgot, "Let me give you your speech back." I told the princess as I shoved my hand in her mouth, and removing the effect I had put on her that took away her voice. "Absolutely unforgivable... You're not a person!" Now what is she talking about? "Not a person?" I asked her. "Someone like you isn't a woman! I won't even recognize you as a human being! Go to hell, you monster!" She started shouting. "That's not it... It's not it at all... It's different..." She seemed to be having a hard time articulating her thoughts... Oh, maybe she is talking about stuff like being 'normal' and having 'common sense'? I'm still studying how to apply those, so it can't be helped. I did try to blend in properly at school, but Yuu and Maria said that I was still somewhat out of sync... It's pretty hard to imitate the 'normal people'. "By the way, shouldn't you, as royalty, be willing to listen and try to understand the opinions of the minorities?" I asked her since things seemed to be going nowhere. "As if you counted as a minority or even a human!" She shouted back at me. "Is that so...?" I wonder about that. As far as history goes, minorities were just oppressed groups that fought for their rights until they were eventually accepted as a part of society and stopped being legally seen as 'wrong', so I'm not sure if her argument stands. "You're no human... You're a monster. There's no way there is any semblance of humanity left within someone like you." She finally stopped shouting at least. "Well, I'm trying my best to blend in properly." I told her. I don't think there is anything I can do here, so let's just wait until she calms down by putting the 'pig food' on the mouth of another soldier. <Your Karma has dropped significantly> After seeing the usual notification, I started wondering about what will be the next 'play' I'll make.

Chapter 11 Official Buletin Board [(At Last)] General Chat - Thread No. 28[(Start of Service!)] 1. Resting Adventurer This is a general chat thread. Let's write freely. However, if you don't abide the minimum rules, this thread will disappear. Speaking of which, how far have we advanced currently? 282. Resting Adventurer 283. Resting Adventurer >> 281 If I'm correct, the top groups, Hannes and Harold's party: Underground Tomb on the north side of First Town Kevin and Nicholas's party: Forest on the south side of First Town Cecil's party: Western Meadow Mikaela, Gustav and Sherra's party: Eastern Mine The conquer status is similar everywhere. If we talk about their strength, the west side is slow but the east side's pace is fast probably? Well, I might have some mistakes about this, and they also said that half portion of every sites have been conquered. 284. Resting Adventurer is a genuine pervert gentleman, no doubt. 285. Resting Adventurer Thanks! Hee~, half portion of them have already been conquered, huh... It's still the second day of service, though? They are doing it well indeed... Especially the Underground Tomb where countermeasure for dark and sudden attack is required. How come they are so fast? 287. Resting Adventurer >> 285 Yeah, if you go to the Underground Tomb and set the depiction setting to Real-life Basis, your nose will die. 288. Resting Adventurer >> 286 All of them came from the beta and were handed over some of their data, you know? Those who played the beta version can take over half of their previous base level and skill level as a bonus. So, those who raised his/her level in the beta version to 30 will be a level 15 from the beginning, you see... I don't know about the skills level, though. It's probably already high too from the start. 289. Resting Adventurer >> 288 Hee~, Thx! Thanks to the top group's information, the players here can enjoy playing. 290. Resting Adventurer There's a dangerous girl at the plaza, though... 291. Resting Adventurer Harold party's girls are all pretty, right? 292. Resting Adventurer >> 289 293. Resting Adventurer >> 290 Something happened? 294. Resting Adventurer I was killed by a dangerous girl at the plaza.... 295. Resting Adventurer What? Was there something happening at the plaza? 296. Resting Adventurer >> 293 >> 295 The peaceful fountain plaza was full of beginners just like yesterday, and I also took a break while watching the scene on the bench. When I realized, I was already dead and woke up in the temple. 297. Resting Adventurer Wait Wait Wait Wait! I didn't know any of that, though? 298. Resting Adventurer What do you mean......? 299. Resting Adventurer Is there anyone who can explain it in details? 300. Resting Adventurer Okay then, fortunately, I survived and watched the whole incident. 302. Resting Adventurer wktk 303. Resting Adventurer It's a bit long, though. I was standing and chatting with my party members next to the stall on the other side across the fountain from where the Tutorial Uncle at. (By the way, I am also from beta) We were joking around while seeing the newcomers flocking the Tutorial Uncle and said "Look! They are like trash piling up!" Then we spent a few moments and a newcomer appeared. She somewhat looked around and walked towards the Tutorial Uncle. Everyone in the plaza had this (d) face. 304. Resting Adventurer 305. Resting Adventurer Why are you still here? lol 306. Resting Adventurer >> 305 Because I have some time before my respawn penalty is lifted.... So, knowing that everyone was making a (d) face, she then decapitated two players behind her and ran through the plaza while continued PK-ing. So yeah, everyone was confused as expected Everyone's expression changed from (d) to "( D. )no in an instant. We couldn't move right away. At that time, Hannes and Harold, who also happened to be in the plaza, started calling out. I thought that they were indeed top players as they tried to lead the players on the spot immediately. 307. Resting Adventurer 308. Resting Adventurer But there were two top parties, right? It wasn't something to panicked about then, lol 309. Resting Adventurer >> 308 You think so, right? She first pierced Harold who was distracted with his calling out, sliced his neck and killed him. Still, I was surprised by that, but when the remaining 11 people had surrounded her, we were half-convinced that it finally over for sure. But from there, it became more chaotic. She quickly chose to escape and ran away. Furthermore, she killed NPCs and players along the way. To stop her, Myra from Hannes' party shot an arrow, and I had doubted my own eyes as that girl had grabbed an NPC's child to shield the arrow and threw him to the back. 310. Resting Adventurer 311. Resting Adventurer 312. Resting Adventurer Harold was done?! 313. Resting Adventurer Ryne and Cherry from Hannes' party rushed out to help the children, but she then turned around by using the child as a cover, stabbed Ryne together with the child and decapitated Cherry. She went around Kellin who was distracted by it, twisted his neck and died. After that, she stole the spear that Kellin had and threw it to the rear guard. It was a beautiful form seen from a bystander's perspective. When the rear guard were dealing with the flying spear, Hannes swung his axe at her, but she evaded with somersault and tossed her dagger, landing an excellent headshot on Hannes...... She then pretended to charge in again, only turned around and ran away to the south direction... The only two remaining vanguards were trying to protect the rear guard and gathered around them, so she managed to escape...... 315. Resting Adventurer 316. Resting Adventurer Eeeh? Did the beginner just defeated the two parties from the conquer teams, with the vanguards almost wiped out...? You're not joking, right? 317. Resting Adventurer >> 316 How good would it be if it was a lie or a dream...... Anyway, the main road from the plaza until the south of the town is in chaos right now. 318. Resting Adventurer >> 317 Ahh, then this big search in the Southern Forest wasn't an event, huh? If something like that had happened, it surely would made this much noise, yup... 319. Resting Adventurer >> 318 Did that dangerous girl escape into the southern forest? 320. Resting Adventurer >> 319 Maybe, I can't tell for sure because the two top parties, Kevin and Nicholas, who were also involved in this big search haven't found her yet. 321. Resting Adventurer >> 320 Well, her opponents will be a large number of players including the top ones who has calmed down from the chaos and they are also in the forest that has not been conquered yet so it's probably going to be fine, right? Right?? 322. Resting Adventurer Even if that's a fact, I'm still worried. 323. Resting Adventurer Wouldn't it be better for the conquer teams to join together? 324. Resting Adventurer [(Sad News)] The dangerous girl had killed the bishop, set a fire to the temple and escaped. 325. Resting Adventurer >> 323 Right? 326. Resting Adventurer Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! 327. Resting Adventurer Wait, I don't know what you are talking about now... 328. Resting Adventurer Aah, it's already in chaos... 329. Resting Adventurer So that's why the town guards and the temple knights ran in front of everyone with a terrible look... 330. Resting Adventurer 331. Resting Adventurer [(Follow-up Report)] When the dangerous girl thought she was matchless against the guards, she had set fire in town. 332. Resting Adventurer What is wrong with this pyromaniac? 333. Resting Adventurer Pan*De*Mo*Ni*Um 334. Resting Adventurer Somehow, the town's feudal lord is now leading the corps directly, though... 335. Resting Adventurer >> 334 Well, a soldier that was dispatched from the kingdom was killed, a massacre incident occurred in a plaza that should have been a place for relaxation, markets such as stalls were destroyed, an important person like bishop was killed, a temple was burned down, the guards were killed and wounded, and the city was on fire. In addition, these all happened during the day, so it can't be helped, right? 336. Resting Adventurer 337. Resting Adventurer No wayyyy! Isn't she seriously dangerous? 338. Resting Adventurer Alright! I'm going! 339. Resting Adventurer has fucked up...... 340. Resting Adventurer I will pick up your bones. 341. Resting Adventurer Saluting for the brave one! ( `*o*')" 342. Resting Adventurer >> 339 >> 340 >> 341 Don't just kill me as you pleases! ......well, I died, though....... 343. Resting Adventurer You really died, huh? lol 344. Resting Adventurer That's too fast, lol 584. Town Adventurer >> 572 In the end, you didn't find Genocider-san...? 585. Town Adventurer Genocider-san is on the wanted list, lol 586. Town Adventurer >> 584 She had escaped skillfully, lol 587. Town Adventurer >> 585 588. Town Adventurer I'm going to publish the amount of damage in First town, though it's still a rough sketch. 589. Town Adventurer 560. Town Adventurer Hey-yo Jose! 561. Town Adventurer First, about casualties. NPCs: 87 dead town civilians, 274 wounded, 52 people missing Players: 67 dead, 384 wounded, no people missing Next, about building damage. General residences: 58 collapsed, 78 damaged Other buildings: Temple, monastery, orphanages, guardstations, Grand Merchant's branch office If other damage such as market goods are also combined, seems like it will be twice the expected town budget for one year... In addition, according to the NPC peddlers testimony, they would likely avoid a town where such a big incident happened, hence including the future loss, it will become much more awful.......... 562. Town Adventurer The feudal lord has a headache right now for sure. 563. Town Adventurer It's really terrible when seeing those numbers, lol 564. Town Adventurer That's surely why she's on the wanted list, lol 565. Town Adventurer Genocider-san made too much legend from the first day, indeed. lolol 566. Town Adventurer >> 565 We can made an exclusive thread with this, no doubt. 567. Town Adventurer >> 566 There is one already! -: http://********** 568. Town Adventurer >> 567 Seriously?

「──価値は労働によって決まる」 ここ、ボクが拠点としている『カメリア大公国』の城の一室にて、大公様の娘として扱われてしまったせいで『重要NPC』の称号を得てしまったフィーリアというプレイヤーに向かってそう言葉を放つ。 目の前の少女──中身はネカマしようとして失敗した男の子──は眉間に皺を寄せ、額に青筋を浮かべながらボクに対して怒鳴りつける。 「はぁ? いきなり勝手にマジ〇チサイコパスと総力戦を始めるとか言いやがったその次の言葉がその訳わからん格言かぁ?」 「お嬢様、お言葉が乱れております」 「オホホ、突然に気狂い様と争いを始めるなどと言い出した次のお言葉がそれですか?」 背後の侍従に窘められ、無理やり口調を矯正した為に変な感じになってしまっている彼女に苦笑して、さらに怒られながらも説明を始める。 さっさと説明して準備に取り掛からないといけないからね......如何に早く初動を迅速に行い、目標を達成させられるかで国力に差がつく。 「総力戦と言ってもスグに始まる訳じゃない......今はお互いに国力を増強させる為の準備期間さ」 「ふぅん......で? それが『価値は労働で決まる』ってやつ?」 「そうだね、アダム・スミスの理論だ。日本や米国を含めた世界中の国々の資本主義社会の大部分の仕組みは彼の理論を元に動いている」 今からだいたい四百五十年くらい前にイギリスで生まれたアダム・スミスだが、基本的に『経済学』というと、その始まりはアダム・スミスだと言われる事が多い。 つまりはおおよそ経済学の始祖だと思って貰っても良いのかも知れない。 そんなアダム・スミスの経済学とはどういうモノなのかという話になるが、そもそもまず経済というのは『人間社会における生産活動』の学問だ。 アダム・スミスはまず、この人間社会の生産活動における基本の大原則としてある言葉を放った。 「......それが最初のやつか?」 「そうだね、先ほども言った『価値は労働によって決まる』という言葉がそうだ」 彼女をボクの説明に集中させる為なのか、それとも自分に聞いておくべき事だと思ったのか......おそらく両方の理由から静かに背後に控えるだけになった侍従を軽く確認してから説明を再開する。 「価値が労働で決まるとか、意味不明な事を言ってんな」 「そうだね......例えばだけど、ダイアモンドに価値があるのは何故だと思う?」 「......それに高い金を出す馬鹿な金持ち共が居るからだろ?」 「では何故お金に価値があると思う?」 「......知らねぇよ」 彼女の言う通り、何故お金に価値があるのかと問われると中々に難しい......しかしアダム・スミスに言わせると『価値は労働によって決まる』という。 つまり最低時給が千円として、一万円を払えば人を一人十時間も働かせる事ができる訳だけど、この『労働させる事ができる』という事こそが、真にお金や物の価値を決めている訳であり、この労働こそが世の中のあらゆる価値の根源だと......そう、アダム・スミスは考えた。 なのでもしも仮にここで金貨五千枚の大金を出しながら『一時間働いたらこれをあげるよ』と言ったとしても、誰もこれに応じて労働をしてくれなければこの時のこの金貨五千枚は、先ほど例に出した千円の価値もないという事になる。 「逆にフィーリアの残飯を出して『一週間働いたらこれをあげる』と言って、沢山の人が殺到したとしたらフィーリアの残飯には十六万八千円の価値がある事になる」 「気持ち悪い例えをすんなよな!」 「まぁ、価値がどれくらいあるかと聞かれると値段を想像しがちだけど、しかしお金という物はあくまでも『価値を交換する』のに便利な道具に過ぎず、真に価値を決めているのは労働だという事さ」 この様に人間社会のあらゆるモノの価値を真に決めているのは労働であり、言い換えると労働する事によってのみこの世に価値が生まれるという様にアダム・スミスは考えた。 つまり一つの国において労働によって生み出された価値の大きさこそがその国の富であり、これこそが国の富の究極の源であり、言ってしまえばこれさえ上手くいっていれば国は豊かになり、これがダメなら国は貧しくなる。 アダム・スミスの時代において、スペインとポルトガルは金銀を大量に溜め込んでいたのにも関わらず貧困に陥っており、逆にそれらを持っていなかったアメリカは人々がよく働いていたので物凄い勢いで国が豊かになっていった。 「そしてさらにこの理論をベースにしてアダム・スミスはこう言った──農業こそが国力の根源だと」 「農業ぉ?」 「簡単に説明するならば、畑を耕す事で食料が増え、食料が増えればさらに人が増え、その増えた人々が労働する事によって価値が生まれ、その価値によって国が豊かになるという訳さ」 つまりはこの労働が価値を生むという根源には畑があるという事であり、つまりは農業こそが国の富の根源だという事だ。 乱暴な言い方をしてしまえば、国の富とは畑から湧いてくるという事だね。 そしてさらにアダム・スミスは『余った食料が集まって農業以外の産業が生まれる』と説いた。 つまりは頑張って畑を耕せば、農業をやっている人々の全員の腹を満たす以上に遥かに多い食料が余り、その食料の分だけ人が増えるけれども、既に農業をこなしていく為の人手は足りているのでまた別の産業を生み出すという事だ。 「大多数の人間の腹さえ満たす事が出来れば様々な産業が生まれ、さらなる労働によって国が豊かになっていく......そして様々な産業が生まれる事で分業が進み、さらに労働の力は大きくなる」 「分業?」 剣を一本作るのだって全部一人でやるよりも、鉱山から鉄を取る人、それを運ぶ人、精錬する人、加工する人、組み立てる人......それぞれ専門職がこなした方が遥かに高品質で生産スピードも早くなる。 これによって自分で一から作るよりも遥かに高品質な剣を、それを作るための膨大な時間や手間を省いて手に入れる事ができるという訳だ。 「分業化によって、自分本来の仕事にも集中できる様になるしね」 「ほへ〜」 この分業化によって一人から五人に増えたから五倍という単純計算ではなく、何倍にも何十倍にもその国の富は膨れ上がる。 逆に分業化が全く無くなってしまえば全てを一人でやらなければならず、原始時代の様な生活を余儀なくされるだろう。 「そしてさらにアダム・スミスは『人々に自由を与える事で、労働の力は大きくなる』と言ったが......まぁ一先ずはここまでで、とにかくボクの言いたい事は分かったかな?」 「......農業がんばる」 「そう! この世界に資本主義を持ち込み、九条式農業でマンパワーを掻き集めるという事さ!」 「......」 ボクの祖父が考案し、農林水産大臣である父が実践して成功を収めた今世界で一番効率の良い農法を持ち込む事で食料自給率を引き上げる。 それによって人口の増加と分業化を進め、効率よく近代化を達成させるのが目的だ。 「余裕が出来れば農家の子達を学校に通わせる事が出来るし、国民の識字率なんかが上がればそれだけで国力は増大する......さらには余った食料で外から移民を呼び寄せる事もでき、労働をさせる事ができる」 何なら今は何処も食料なんかが足りていないからね......大陸西部はあの大きな動乱に加えて、かの『バーレンス連合王国』がお得意先の『メッフィー商業立国』を食べちゃったから。 そこでボク達の『カメリア大公国』が大陸西部の食料庫として成り代わる......そして労働力である人口も他所から奪う。 「そしてはいこれ」 「......何これ?」 「機織りの設計図だよ、これで余裕が出来たマンパワーでさらに価値が生まれるね?」 「......お、おう」 アダム・スミスはちゃんとした道具や設備に投資し続ける事で、さらに労働が生み出す価値を増やす事が出来るとも説いている。 作るのが簡単な物からコツコツと、どんどん投資していこう。 「でも何でアダムなんちゃらなんだよ......」 「彼から派生した理論は数あれど、一番分かりやすいし、何よりも全然進んでないこの世界に合ってると思って」 さて、と......父親が財務大臣である一条さんは銀行でも作ってる頃かな? まぁどちらにせよ、ボクと彼女の改革が達成されるのに時間はとても掛かるだろうし、その間に何もしないっていうのも詰まらないよね? 「おい? 何処に行くんだよ?」 おもむろに席を立ち上がったボクに対して疑問を投げかける彼女に向かって、とても丁寧な笑顔を浮かべて答える。 「──ちょっと相手のインフラ破壊に」 引き攣った笑みで快く送り出してくれる彼女に手を振ってから、改めて考える......とりあえず『バーレンス連合王国』の首都圏と地方を結ぶ幹線道路を破壊しようと。 ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼

"...Value is determined by labor." Here, in a room in the castle of the Grand Duchy of Camellia -where I was based- I shared this quote with the player known as Philia, who was being treated as an "Important NPC" because people thought she was the once-deceased daughter of the Grand Duke returned to life. This "girl" -that is, the "Guy In Real Life" who is doing a poor job of passing for an actual girl- started yelling at me with her eyebrows all wrinkled up and several blue streaks on her forehead. "Huh!? Wait... we were just talking about starting an all-out war with an actual psychopath, so what's the deal with whatever it is that you just said? What are you going on about, huh!?" "Young lady, your words are confusing." "Ohoho, first you spoke about fighting that madman... and now you suddenly started talking about something else?" The fact that the chamberlain behind her reprimanded her, forcing her to change her tone, had already made her a little upset. And though the bitter smile on my face made her feel even worse, I would still start my explanation over. I had to get this explanation done so I could quickly begin with our preparations... We needed to act fast and make it so we can achieve our goals if we wanted to make any relevant difference in national power. "Even if it's called a "total war", it won't start right away... Now's the time for our countries to prepare and strengthen each other." "Huh... so? That's why you said that... what was it... 'value is determined by labor'?" "That's right, that was Adam Smith's theory. Most of the mechanisms of capitalist societies in countries around the world, including Japan and the United States, operate based on his theory." Adam Smith was born in the United Kingdom about 450 years ago. He was said to be the one to set forth the studies of modern economics. In other words, one could think of him as the "Father of economics." There are many speculations regarding what exactly Adam Smith's model of economics was, but the first thing to be noted about his view of economics was the study of production in human society. Adam Smith had uttered a certain phrase, which was regarded as the basic principle of all productive activities of human society. "...And that is what you said earlier, right?" "That's right. He said, 'Value is determined by labor'." Was it to get her to focus on my explanation, or was it to give them time to ask me any questions about what I had said so far...? Perhaps for both reasons, I gave a quick glance at the chamberlain who was quietly standing behind her before resuming my explanation. "But to say that 'Value is determined by labor' doesn't make sense, does it?" "Well... For example, why do you think diamonds are valuable?" "...Because there are stupid rich people who pay a lot of money for them, right?" "Then why do you think money has that much value?" "...I dunno." As she says, it was difficult to know exactly why money has a certain value... but as Adam Smith puts it, "Value is determined by labor." For example, with a minimum hourly wage of 1,000 yen, if you offer to pay 10,000 yen per day, you can make your employees work for 10 hours a day. And according to Adam Smith's views, this principle was the source of the value of all the things that exist in the world. So, even if you were to offer to pay 5,000 gold coins for an hour of work, if no one is willing to do said work, even the 1,000 yen of the previous example would be worth more than these 5,000 gold coins. "On the other hand, if you were to offer to give, let's say, your food scraps as payment for a week's worth of work, and a lot of people come rushing in to take your offer, then you could say that your food scraps are worth 168,000 yen." "Eww. Why did you have to make an example out of my food scraps? That's disgusting." "Well, when asked how much something is worth, people tend to think about its price, but money is nothing more than a convenient tool to 'exchange valuables'. The thing that truly determines value is labor." Thus Adam Smith believed that the value of all things in human society was determined by labor, or to put it another way, that it was labor alone from which the value of things was born. In other words, the value created by labor in a country is the ultimate source of wealth of that country. If this value is not enough, the country will become poor. In Adam Smith's time, both Spain and Portugal were in poverty despite accumulating large amounts of gold and silver. Meanwhile, America had no such riches, so the people instead worked hard, and as a result, the country became rich at a tremendous rate. "Then, from this theory, Adam Smith said that agriculture is the source of a nation's strength." "Agriculture?" "Basically, plowing the fields generates food, and the more food you have, the more people you can feed. Having more people means more labor, and this labor will in turn create value, which in turn will make a country richer." In other words, the source of the value created by labor is the fields, making agriculture the source of a country's wealth. To put it bluntly, a country's wealth grows from its fields. Adam Smith also said that "surplus food can be stockpiled, which in turn can create industries other than agriculture." This means that any country that works its hardest to cultivate its fields will be able to generate more food than it needs to feed its farmers, which will result in other industries being created to capitalize on this surplus food. "If the majority of a country's people can be fed, various industries will be born, and the country will become prosperous through more labor... And with the birth of various industries, the division of labor will advance, further increasing the efficiency of labor." "Division of labor?" Even when making a single sword, instead of a single person doing it all by themselves, it would be much better to have someone mining iron, someone else transporting the iron, someone else refining it, someone else processing it, and someone else actually making the sword. This division of labor would not only allow for a much faster production speed, but the quality of the final product would be much higher. The sword made through this process would be much better than anything that a single person would be able to make completely from scratch, and it would be done much faster and through less effort for each person involved in the sword's making. "By dividing labor, you will be able to concentrate on your own work." "Ohh~" Though the division of labor in the previous example increased the number of people involved in making a sword from one to five, that doesn't mean that this would directly multiply the wealth of a country by five, rather, the wealth of a country will increase by several dozens of times. On the other hand, without any sort of division of labor, people would have to do everything by themselves from scratch, forcing them to live like in the primitive age. "Adam Smith also said that 'the power of a country's labor will grow by giving its people freedom'. ...Well, I think we've spoken enough of this. Anyway, do you understand what I'm trying to say?" "...We have to work hard on our agriculture." "That's right! We'll bring capitalism to this world and gather manpower with Kujo-style agriculture!" "..." I will bring in the world's most efficient farming method -which was invented by my grandfather and successfully implemented by my father who is the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries- in order to increase our self-sufficiency. The idea is to increase our population and promote the division of labor, thereby achieving efficient modernization. "This will allow us to send the farmer's children to school, increasing literacy rate, which will in turn increase the power of our nation... Furthermore, surplus food can be used to attract immigrants, who will add to our workforce." After all, there is currently a shortage of food everywhere... In addition to the great turmoil in the western part of the continent, the United Kingdom of Barence has eaten the Meffy Commercial Nation, which was our regular trade partner. So our Grand Duchy of Carmelia will become a food storehouse for the western part of the continent... and its workforce, that is, its population, will grow by taking it from other places. "And one more thing. Here." "...What's this?" "It's a blueprint for making a weaver. With this, and your extra manpower, you can create even more value, right?" "...Ah, yes." Adam Smith also argued that by continuing to invest in the right tools and equipment, we can further increase the value of our labor. We should start with things that are easy to make, and continue to increase our investments. "But what's with all this Adam whatshisname guy... stuff?" "There are many theories derived from him, but I think it's the easiest to understand, and above all, it really does fit this world, which hasn't progressed at all as much as it should have." So, what's next... Was it Ichijoji -whose father is the Minister of Finance- the one who's running a bank? Well, either way, it will take a long time for these reforms to be realized, and it would be boring to do nothing in the meantime, right? "Hey? Where are you going?" As she asked me that question while slowly getting up from her seat, I turned to her and answered with a very polite smile. "...Just going to do a little destruction of our opponent's infrastructure." After waving at her, who gladly sent me off with a somewhat tightened smile, I went back to my thoughts... I think I'll destroy the main road connecting the United Kingdom of Barence's metropolitan area with its countryside. VVVVVVV

77.第一王女のお忍びその2 「ほら、こっちよ!」 曲がり角でぶつかった時は反射的に殺しそうになってしまいましたが寸前で踏みとどまれてよかったです。 重要NPC 名前:フェーラ・ディン・エルマーニュLv.15 カルマ値:55《中立・善》 クラス:プリンセス 状態:通常 備考 エルマーニュ王国・第一王女 エルマーニュ王国・継承権第三位 中々に利用できる用途が多そうな女の子ですから、早々に消費するのは勿体ないです。......どうせなら、ただ王太子を殺すよりも彼女を利用してもっと面白くしちゃいましょう。 「すいません、アイスクリームください」 「はいよ......あれ? お嬢ちゃんまた来たのかい?」 「私がぶつかって台無しにしちゃったのでその弁償ですよ」 「あらそうかい、綺麗なお姉ちゃんも大変ね〜」 それから王女に案内されるがまま王都の地形を頭に入れていきます、どうでもいいところにも案内されてしまいますが巡回する衛兵の装備や何人組体制なのかを把握していきましょう。 「ここは王都自慢の噴水広場よ! あの銅像が初代女王のマーシィ様よ!」 「すごい綺麗ですね、レーナさん」 「わぁ......」 ユウさんとマリアさんは感動しているようなのでなんか凄いものなんでしょう......私には理解できませんがここは合わせておくべきですね。 とりあえず当たり障りのないことを言っておけば大丈夫ですかね? ......普通の方と観光地に行った場合の対処法など知らないから困りますね......。 「ふふん、そうでしょ? 私のお父様はすごいのよ! みんな笑顔なんだから!」 「自慢の家族なの!」 「そうですか、素晴らしいお父様なのですね?」 「......っ! お嬢様!」 「? アナベラどうしたの?」 「............いえ、なんでもございません」 ふむ、看破を使ってみますか......ほほう? なるほど、使えますね? 「......何をしておいでですか?」 「特になにもしてませんよ?」 メイドさんの警戒がすごいですねぇ......どうやらあそこは王族専用の隠し通路だったようで王城に繋がっているようですね。それを聞いてしまったので先ほどの失態と合わせて完全に不審者扱いですね、邪魔で仕方ありませんね............。 この女性は危険です、広場にて殿下が陛下の話をしていた時に感じたあれは言葉にはできませんが......私の『悪意察知』スキルが爆音を奏でるほどの濃密な負の感情は只事ではないことを私に知らせてくださいました。 「ここが私の服をよく作ってくれる店よ」 一瞬だけこちらを見た無機質な瞳に思わず息を呑んでしまいます......人はあそこまで同じ人に対して温度のない視線を寄越すことができるのでしょうか? 「さぁ......なんか、また不機嫌になったっぽいのはわかる」 厄介なのが連れのお二人がこの女性の本性に気付いていないところですね、お二人ともとても徳が高い、清浄な気配を発しておられますからもし、私がいきなりこの女性を排除しようと動けば善意から止めるでしょう......なんとかして引き離して殿下をお守りせねばなりません。 ............なにを企んでいるのでしょう? そろそろ時間的にも殿下から引き離し、尾行されぬようにして王城に帰還しなければならないと焦っていたところに彼女自身からのお誘いです。 「......来ないと王女の命はありませんよ」 ............そもそも殿下がこの女性にぶつかってしまった時から決断していれば......最近は陛下とも話せない日が続き、部屋に篭ってばっかりだったフェーラ殿下に息抜きを......と考えて少し甘い対応をしてしまったのが間違いだったのです。 「......殿下、少し、ほんの少しだけ......お待ちください」 「......アナベラ?」 「大丈夫です、すぐに戻ります」 男の子は困惑し、女の子は何かを考え込んでしまってますね......ですがこの二人とも引き離せるのなら僥倖です。 そのまま人間味の薄い彼女と共に路地裏へと消えていきます......殿下、好きでした。立派に成長なされてくださいね............。

Chapter 77 - The First Princess' Trip (Part 2) "Over here!" The princess said while showing me the way to the ice cream stall. I almost killed her by reflex when I bumped into her a while back, but I'm glad I was able to stop myself. Important NPC Name: Feera von Hermagne Lv.15 Karma: 55 <Slightly Good> Class: Princess Status: Normal Remarks: Kingdom of Hermagne: First Princess Kingdom of Hermagne: Third in line of succession. She's a useful girl for sure, it would definitely be a waste to throw her away now. She will at the very least make things more interesting than if I just killed the crown prince. "Excuse me, could you give me an ice cream?" Feera said to the granny that owned the stall. "Oh, of course... Wait, you're already back?" The granny replied. "I'm giving her a new one because I accidentally bumped into her and made her lose her ice cream." I explained. "I see, you're a really kind lass." The granny said, and then gave another ice cream to the princess. "Here you go." I didn't particularly care about the city tour, but I used this opportunity to inspect the terrain, the equipment of the guards, their numbers and the areas they patrol. "This is the capital's fountain plaza, one of the things we're most proud of! The statue in the middle is that of the first queen, Marcy!" The princess opened her arms wide to show it off. "It's beautiful, isn't it, Rena?" Yuu said. "Whoa..." Maria said in awe. "Hmmmm..." I murmured. It is certainly beautiful, but I don't see what's so impressive about it... I suppose I should play along with them regardless, "It's certainly quite lively and wonderful." I hoped this kind of bland commentary would be enough. I haven't gone sightseeing tourist spots like an ordinary person before, so I'm not quite sure how to behave. "It is, isn't it!? Dad is amazing! Everyone is smiling after all!" The princess exclaimed... A dad... She surely likes him, huh? "I'm really proud of being part of my family!" She said with a big smile... So they're family... "Of course, you have a wonderful father, don't you?" I said. "Y-Young Lady!" The princess' maid suddenly shouted. The princess turned towards her and tilted her head, "What's wrong, Annabella?" "... No, it's nothing." She replied, but her gaze was not directed towards the princess, but to me... Seems like I messed up and let my emotions leak out. The maid must have sensed my bloodlust, what a bother... Then let's try using a skill to analyze that place... "Just what might you be doing?" Her maid asked me. "Nothing in particular." I replied, though I was already done with it. "Is that so...?" She said. She's certainly sharp, but she was too slow to notice. In this time I could get the information that this is a secret passage that connects directly to the royal castle, and is of exclusive use of the royal family. I suppose it can't be helped that she is suspicious of me after me noticing the passage and my previous blunder as well. Such a bother... That woman is dangerous. Something was really off about her when her highness was talking about his majesty in the plaza. In particular, my <Malice Sensor> skill flared up in response to all the negative emotions that emitted from her. "This is the store that makes my clothes!" Her highness said while pointing to it. Danger. Her expressionless eyes stared at me for a moment and it completely paralyzed me. How can someone make such a cold gaze...? "Well... I'm just in a bit of a bad mood." She replied. The two people accompanying her must be unaware of this woman's true nature, they're both virtuous people that have no malice in them. If I were to try getting that woman away from her highness, they'd probably interfere with good intentions... Yet I have to somehow get her away from her highness. "Indeed." She replied. Just what is she planning? I can't accept this, I need to bring her highness back to the castle right now, and I need to make sure they don't follow us. She approached me and whispered in my ear, "If you don't come, this will be the end of the princess' life." ... Why did I let her highness come here? Why did I let her bump into this woman...? She has been so lonely these past few days due to how little opportunities she has had to spend some time together with his majesty... I pitied her situation and thought that it would be fine to let her have a change of pace... What a grave mistake, I should have never given in to her request. "Your highness... For a little while... Just for a small bit. Please wait, alright?" I told her gently. "... Annabella?" She seemed worried, I think I let my anxiety leak out from my tone. "I'll be back soon, okay?" I told her with a reassuring smile. She doesn't need to worry about anything, it's alright like this. "Alright..." The boy said, while the girl stayed silent. He seemed confused, while she seemed to be thinking about something... I'd like to tell them to use this opportunity to escape, but I don't have any way of doing so, it's a pity. ... Your highness, I enjoyed each moment with you, please grow up as a splendid woman.

191.第二回公式イベント・Collapsing Kingdomその28 「今のは危なかったな」 「......あら、もう大丈夫なんですか?」 マリアさんのあの攻撃を凌ぐにしても、ある程度の欠損は覚悟していたのですが......気が付いたら岩や大地で出来たような小さいドームの様な空間の中でハンネスさんに抱き抱えられていました。......なんていうか、全体的に暖色の鉱石などが光って綺麗ですね。 ......というか、まだ青ざめて口を抑えているではありませんか......本当に大丈夫なんでしょうか? 「あんだけドッカンドッカン殺り合われてたらな......それにポン子、だったか? アイツが連れて来てくれたぞ。......もちろん安全運転で」 「ちなみに後何回使えますか?」 「使えませんね」 「うるせぇ! どっちにしろ《神託》スキルの攻撃を無傷で防げるのはこのスキルくらいしかねぇんだぞ! ............うっぷ」 ハンネスさんの胸を押して少し距離を離し、滑稽な彼の顔を見て微笑めば『......うるせぇよ』なんて返されてしまいましたね。......まぁ確かに通常の攻撃ならこちらも攻撃スキルを放つかして相殺したり、防御スキルを使用するなりで凌げますが......あれだけ強化されまくった《神託》スキルを無傷でとなると無理ですし、生き残れる可能性もほぼありませんでしたからね。 なんにせよ、ハンネスさんが予定よりも十分程度早く来てくれて助かったと言えますね......これは後でポン子さんにもご褒美を考えないといけませんね。 「? なんだこれ?」 「オォイ?! 命の恩人を殺す気かぁ?!」 「失礼ですね......酔い止めは持っておりませんが、誤魔化す事はできますよ」 「......ケリン?」 「......俺のパーティーメンバーの槍使いだよ」 「じゃあそれ、グイッと飲んじゃってください」 いつもの顰め面の時よりも顔の中心に皺が寄ってますね......そんなに不味かったでしょうか? 薬の味なんて普段はあまり気にしませんので分かりませんね。これは改良の余地があるでしょうか? 「では解除しちゃってください」 「えぇ、それに普段は敵対するばかりのハンネスさんとの共闘を楽しみたいですから......信頼してますからね?」 「何を馬鹿な事を言ってるのよ? さっさと準備しなさい」 「わかってますぅー!」

Chapter 191: The Second Event - Collapsing Kingdom - part twenty-eight "That was a dangerous one." Hannes commented. "Oh...? You better now?" I asked him. I was expecting to take some heavy damage from Maria's attack, but before it reached me, Hannes appeared and created an earth dome surrounding us, which stopped the Oracle skill. That was a nice surprise. ... However, he is still quite pale and has his hand in front of his mouth. I don't think he is okay... "Ah, Jun took me here by the way... Slowly. With safe driving." Hannes suddenly said. So that's how he arrived even though he was in this state... "Oh?" Now that's quite something, "How long is its cooldown?" I asked. "That's useless." I replied. "Shut up! It's the only skill that can endure an Oracle unscathed! "Ah... Ugh..." Hannes' yells seemed to get his condition worse, so he was now trying really hard to stop himself from puking again. Well, I guess this skill isn't entirely useless. It's quite possible I might have been defeated by that Oracle after all, so Hannes really did save me this time... I guess I'll have to reward Jun later for bringing Hannes here. "What's this?" He asked. "You wanna kill your savior!?" He exclaimed. "Nothing like that. I don't have any medicine for carsickness, but this poison can numb you to its effects. You'll also lose some other sensations though." I explained. "... Kellin?" I asked. Hannes sighed, "My party's spearman." "So please drink the potion so as to let us get started?" I asked him. Is that so? I didn't pay any attention to its taste when making it, but I guess it's bad if it's bitter. Poison should be tasteless and odorless to make it harder to detect after all. "Then, please remove the dome." I told him. "Yes. I want to enjoy fighting together with you, who are usually hostile to me... I'll be counting on you, alright?" I replied. "What nonsense are you spouting? Get ready for when the dome opens!" Blossom exclaimed. "Understood!" I replied. I'm gonna bombard those two with everything I have as soon as this stupid dome opens up!

相手もこちらの戦力を釣るために、守りに徹してこちらの消耗を狙わずむしろ攻めてきているのでしょう......相手はこの街のトップ、店でポーション類は規制され買えないが向こうは備蓄などが大量にあるだろうし、一条さんも毒が作れるなら薬も作れるはずだ。 「マリアちゃん、裏門突破できたってよ!」 「それでは副官、指揮の引き継ぎをお願いします」 「わかった、当初の予定通りだな?」 「皆さん退いてください、一気に守りをこじ開けます」 「お、ユウは支援!」 どんどん織田から支援を貰う......本当にこいつの支援能力は頭一つ飛び抜けてるわ、なんなのこのバフの量? 攻略組トップよりも凄いじゃん、スキル変なのに......。 「っ?! お前上級クラスを?!」 周囲のプレイヤーがざわめいているが別に不思議なことはない......カルマ値が200を過ぎないとダメだがそれとは別に中立と同じくカルマ値150を超えて特殊な条件をクリアすれば問題ない。 「『妄執慈愛・理想女性』」 種族:人間 名前:マリアLv.61《+15》 カルマ値:156《善》 クラス:赫灼司祭 セカンドクラス:杖聖 サードクラス:聖母 状態:献身《特定の相手に尽くす毎にHP継続回復:最大2%/5s》 火天《STR上昇:特大・INT上昇:特大・攻撃に火炎属性:極大・火炎属性の与ダメージ上昇:極大》 理想女性《INT上昇:特大・DEX上昇:特大・攻撃に光輝属性:極大・光輝属性の与ダメージ上昇:極大》 属性付与《攻撃に火炎属性:極大・攻撃に火炎属性:特大・攻撃に火炎属性:大・攻撃に火炎属性中・攻撃に火炎属性:小・攻撃に火炎属性:極小》 炎熱攻勢《攻撃に火炎属性:中・攻撃力上昇:中》 炎熱守護《火炎耐性上昇:中・防御力上昇:中》 神聖攻勢《攻撃に光輝属性:中・攻撃力上昇:中》 神聖守護《光輝耐性上昇:中・防御力上昇:中》 強化付与《STR上昇:特大・VIT上昇:特大・AGI上昇:特大・INT上昇:特大・DEX上昇:特大》 強化付与《切断強化:大・打撃強化:大・命中率上昇:大・回避率上昇:大》

Moreover, since they own this city, they control the supply of potions and we are unable to restock here. Meanwhile, they not only must have had a stockpile of them already, but miss Ichijouji probably crafted a few more in the time she was there. "Maria, we broke through the gate in the back!" One of our scouts told me. "... Then, please take care of things over here, adjutant." I told Sumeragi, the leader of the Imperial Holy Knights. "Alright, should I just follow the plans that we went over before?" He asked me for confirmation. "Make way, everyone. I'll open a path for us." I said. "Yuu, support me." I told him. "Got it, got it." He replied and gave me even more support spells, it's amazing that he has more buffs than even the supports of the top teams... If only his skills weren't so weird. "Eh!? You got an advanced class!?" A nearby player was in disbelief. "But that doesn't match our discoveries so far!" Another said... Plenty of them seemed to be astonished by this, though it's no surprise. Everyone thought you needed at least 200 karma value to get the advanced class, but it's actually enough to be at 150 or neutral and achieve a special condition... Though I was surprised when I found out that the condition was fulfilled because I had a chance meeting with the God of Order. This kind of absurd condition is so unlikely to happen that I guess not even the Absolutely Inviolable Area had something like it. "<Unshakable Misguided Love - Ideal Woman>" I chanted next. Race: Human Name: Maria Lv.61 <+15> Karma: 156 <Good> Class: Light Priestess; Second Class: Saint; Third Class: Holy Mother Devotion: <HP recovers at a rate of 2%/5s for as long as you're fighting against one specific opponent> Fire Heaven: <STR Increase: Extra Large; INT Increase: Extra Large; Fire Attribute to Attacks: Max; Fire Damage Increase: Max> Ideal Woman: <INT Increase: Extra Large; DEX Increase: Extra Large; Light Attribute to Attacks: Max; Light Damage Increase: Max> Attributes Granted To Attacks: <Fire: Max; Fire: Extra Large; Fire: Large; Fire: Medium; Fire: Small; Fire: Very Small; Light: Max; Light: Extra Large; Light: Large; Light: Medium; Light: Small; Light: Very Small> Blazing Charge: <Fire attribute to attacks: Medium; Attack power increase: Medium> Flame Ward: <Increased Fire Resistance: Medium; Increased Defense: Medium> Holy Might: <Light attribute to attacks: Medium; Attack power increase: Medium> Holy Protection: <Increased Light Resistance: Medium; Increased Defense: Medium> Enhancements: <STR Increase: Extra Large; VIT Increase: Extra Large; AGI Increase: Extra Large; INT Increase: Extra Large; DEX Increase: Extra Large> Enhancements: <Slash: Large; Blunt: Large; Accuracy: Large; Dodge: Large>

「......なぁ、本当にするのか?」 「? 何言ってるのよマサ、これが効率的だって言ってたじゃない」 わざわざ知り合いの友達ってだけでブロッサムさんが教えてくれているんだから、ちゃんとアドバイスは聞いておかないとダメじゃない......私は早くお義姉様と仲良くするために頑張るんだから、マサもそうでしょ? 「まぁ、VRゲームでのPKは現実の殺人と変わらないって忌避する人は多いのは確かね」 「良いか坊主、初心者なんだろうが混沌陣営だけはやめといたほうが──がッ?!」 完全に油断仕切っていた一人の額を射抜いてから驚きの表情でこちらに慌てて振り返る最後の一人のみっともなくも大きく開けた口に矢を放ち、後頭部から貫通するのを見て取って『終わったわ』と溜め息をつく。 《レベルが上がりました》 《スキルポイントを獲得しました》 《カルマ値が下降しました》 《既存のスキルのレベルが上がりました》 丁度ログも流れたしこれで本当に戦闘が終わったと判定されたみたいね。 「もうマサ! しっかりしないとダメじゃない」 「それが演技かも知れないでしょ? 一度相手を攻撃したんだから仲良くなれる訳ないじゃない」 「こちらから仕掛けたんだから、なんの落とし所もなく仲良くできるわけないでしょ?」 「! そ、そうだよな!」 「ゲームは楽しむものだしね!」 「......いいわよ、別にこれが一番ってだけで他にも効率的なレベリング方法はあるしね」 やったわ! さすがこのゲームのベテランさんね! これならマサも安心してゲームを楽しみながらレベル上げが出来るでしょう! 「よーし、次の公式イベントまでに頑張るわよ!」 「......姉がすいません」

"Are you really going to do it?" Masa suddenly asked me. "What are you talking about at this point, Masa!? This is the most efficient leveling method, remember!?" I told him. "Yeah..." He seemed to not be very enthusiastic about it, but Blossom helping us out is already a big favor that she is only doing because we're Kako's friends. The minimum we should do is follow her advice... Also, I wanna get along with our sister-in-law as soon as possible, so leveling faster is important... Masa should be aware of this too, right? "Well, there are plenty of people that don't like killing other players in Virtual Reality games because it feels too similar to killing an actual person, so it's not like Masa's feelings are particularly strange." Blossom chimed in. "Look, you seem like you've just started playing, so you should try avoiding joining the Chaos Faction-!?" One of the swordsman started saying... He seemed to be completely off-guard though, so I shot an arrow through his forehead. I heaved a sigh of relief and said to no one in particular, and said, "It's over..." <Level Up> <You Earned Skill Points> <Your Karma Has Dropped> <The Level Of Your Skills Has Raised> The sudden system messages appearing made it sink in more clearly... This battle was over. We won. However... "Masa! You need to get it together!" I shouted at Seigi. "How can you seriously worry about that in the middle of a battle!?" I asked him. I get that it might feel strange to sneakily attack someone, but isn't it even weirder to hold back because the other party feels kind? At least take them on for real once the battle already started! "We can't afford to be careless once we are already face to face with our opponents, you know!?" "... I mean, if you really don't like this, I guess we can try something else?" I ended up giving in. "R-really!?" He was obviously happy with that statement. "I mean, yeah, we're supposed to be having fun while gaming after all." I told him. It can't be helped if he doesn't like killing players in the end, "Although I feel bad for Blossom, you taught us so much already..." I turned towards her and bowed in apology. She stayed silent for a bit, but then she sighed and said, "Well, I guess it's alright. There are other efficient leveling methods anyways, I was just going for this one because it's the best." As expected of an experienced player! She'll still show us the other ideal methods! "Let's do our best to catch up to our sister-in-law!" I exclaimed. "Then, let's keep leveling until the next event comes!" I exclaimed. "I apologize for my sister's unruly behavior..." Masa made an annoying comment, but I ignored him while looking forward to the future, and thinking of what other skills I would learn as I leveled.

22.敗戦その2 「......敗けたか」 領主館のバルコニーから先ほどの戦闘の決着を確認し、私はそう力なく呟く......。 「私の順番を抜かすでないわ、バカ息子め......」 人には大事な順番というものがある、先に産まれたものが先に死ぬ––––––––単純なものだが重要なものだ。ワシは父から貰ったものをほとんど何も返すことはできなかった......けれども順番だけは守り、先に死ぬことは決してなかった。 どれほど親孝行者でもその順番を守らず、親より先に死ぬなど、それまでの善行を利子を付けて返す程の親不孝だと知れと騎士団長という戦いに身を置く息子に嫌と言うほど―――― 「――――言い聞かせてきたんじゃがなぁ」 「? なにをですか? 」 「......いや、なんでもない。こちらの話じゃ」 背後から掛けられる女の声に返事をしつつ振り返る。 「それよりも息子は何か言い残してはなかったか? 」 いくら大バカの親不孝者でも遺言くらいはしているだろう? そう相手に問い掛ける。 「......えぇ、生きてくれと」 噛み締めるようにしてその言葉を深く胸に刻み込む、息子の最後の言葉だ......最大限の努力で遂行せねばなるまい。 「......それで? 勝者は敗者に何を望む? 」 酷く複雑な表情をしている相手に当然の質問を投げかける。 「そうですね、先ずはあなたにはムーンライト・ファミリー幹部のエレンさんを養子にするか、隠し子として認知してもらいます」 一瞬にして無表情になった相手の要求に顔を顰める。この後の展開がわかってきたからだ。 「諸々の手続きを終えたあと、あなたはエレンさんを後継者に指名し、領主の地位を退いてもらいます」 「......中央政府にはなんと説明するつもりだ? 」 「後継者同士の家督の奪い合いの結果、エレンさんの側が勝利したとでも言っておいてください」 「............断ると言ったら? 」 その瞬間、思わず息が止まるほどのプレッシャーに襲われる。 「......息子の遺言をふいにするんですか? 」 「.........そういうわけではない、仮定の話だ」 これは......いかんな、息子がわざわざ遺言して託すわけだ。凡そその目付きを見ればただ死ねるわけではないとわかる。 「まぁ、そうですね。もし断ったら生き残りの娘さんに頑張ってもらいましょうかね? 確か今年で14歳ですからもう子供が作れますし、領主の血を引いたゴブリンでも後釜に据えますか? 」 聞くだけで悍ましいことを平気で語る相手に怖気が走る......。こんなこと正気で言えるものなのか? いや、そもそも考えつくものなのか? 「......要求を全面的に呑もう、だから娘と妻には手を出さないでくれ」 「そうですか? なら構いません」 そもそもこちらに選択の余地など息子が敗けた時から存在せん、できることはなるべく多くの命を安堵することのみ。 「......それともう1つ」 「まだあるんですか? 」 「これで最後じゃ......領民を決して無下にはしないと約束してくれ」 「? それだけですか? 」 一瞬さらに吹っかけようかと思考が過ぎったが、やめておこう。ろくな結果にならん気がする。 「その程度なら構いませんよ。むしろ一部政策を除いてこれまで通りで進めますし、なんならエレンさんが領主を継いだあとはムーンライト・ファミリーの親分さんと一緒に話し合ってください。ただ私の傀儡が欲しかっただけですので」 「......そうか、では直ぐに行動するとしよう」 「はい、お願いしますね」 今日という日がバーレンス辺境伯領の実質的な最期だ―――――――― ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ 「ふむ、まさか本当に成し遂げるとは」 次の日に領主の使いと一緒にムーンライト・ファミリーの親分さんのところに尋ねて開口一番に言われたセリフがこれだ。 「信じてなかったんですか? 」 「まぁ、いくら人間ではないとはいえ一人じゃったからな。それがアレクセイ騎士団長まで討ち取るとはさすがに予想外じゃわい、ワシも耄碌したかの? 」 半信半疑だったんですね、まぁ小娘一人だけでクーデターが成功するだなんて普通思いませんよね。 「......一つ質問じゃ、もしワシらがお前さんの望まない領地経営をしたらどうする? 」 「? また頭をすげ替えるだけですよ? 」 「......そうか、お前さんとはできるだけ敵対したくない。こちらから何かすることはないじゃろう」 「それは良かったです」 せっかく成功させたのにまたやり直しとか面倒臭いですからね、騎士団長さんが居ない分二回目は楽でしょうけど。 「それでは後のことよろしくお願いしますね? 」 「あぁ、任せてくれ」 「では、これで」 そう言ってその場を後にし宿に帰ってログアウトします、今日は濃厚な一日でした。良い疲労感です。 次はなにしましょう? そろそろ次の街を目指してみますかね?

Chapter 22 Defeat 2 Feudal Lord: "...He was defeated, huh..." I confirmed the conclusion of the battle from the manor's balcony. Feudal Lord: "Don't you skip over me, you idiot son..." People have an important order of things, the ones that are born first has to die first--------it's simple but important. I couldn't return almost anything that I got from my father... but I still kept the order and in the end I didn't die first. No matter how loyal the child is, if he didn't follow the order and die before his parents, it could not be said that it's a likeable thing even if the child was a knight captain who was being diobedient to one's parent just for striving good conducts--- Feudal Lord: "--------I've told you..." Rena: "What is?" Feudal Lord: "...No, nothing. It's just my own monologue." I looked back while answering the woman's voice from behind. Feudal Lord: "In any case, did my son leave some words to you?" Even if he's a big fool and unfilial son, he might still have a last request, doesn't he? Hence, I asked her so. Rena: "...Eeh, he said please live." It was the last word from my son that I deeply engraved as if it was chewed thoroughly... This must be done with maximum effort. Feudal Lord: "...So? What do the winner wants from the loser?" With a terribly complex expression, I asked the obvious question to her. Rena: "Let's see, first, you have to adopt Eren, the Moonlight Family leader, as your adopted child or a hidden child." I frowned when I heard the demand from her who became expressionless in an instant. Because I have understood how it will develop after this. Rena: "After completing the various procedures, you will nominate Eren as the successor and retire from your lord position." Feudal Lord: "...How can I explain this to the central government?" Rena: "Please tell them that Eren has won as a result of the successor's scramble." Feudal Lord: "............What if I refuse?" At that moment, I stopped breathing due to the pressure. Rena: "...are you going to ignore your son's last will?" Feudal Lord: "...I don't mean it like that, it's just a hypothetical story." This is... not good, my son have entrusted his will to her. If you look at her eyes, you will know that you won't just die. Rena: "Well, let's see. If you refuse, can I have your remaining daughter do her best? If I'm correct, she's 14 years old this year, so I'm sure she can make a child now, and I can put a goblin who is not related by blood with the feudal lord as a successor. yes?" Just listening to this person who speaks a repulsive thing casually makes me horrified... Can someone say something like this while being conscious? Rather, would anyone think something like this in the first place? Feudal Lord: "...I will ensure all the demands, so don't put your hands to my daughter and wife." Rena: "Is that so? If so, then there's no problem." In the first place, there is no choice for me since my son lost, so all I can do is to save as many lives as possible. Feudal Lord: "...and one more thing." Rena: "There's still more?" Feudal Lord: "This is the last... promise me to never leave the fief and the people out of hand." Rena: "? Would that be it?" I had thought a lot for a moment, but let's stop. I don't feel like it would be a decent result. Rena: "That's fine. Rather, it will still be the same as before except for some policies, and after you have succeeded Eren-san as the lord, please go talk to the Moonlight Family boss together with me. I only wanted a puppet." Feudal Lord: "...I see, well then, let's act immediately." Rena: "Yes, please." Today marks the day where the fief of Margrave Vallence came to an end------ Fumu , I didn't think you could accomplish this kind of feat." I alongside the feudal lord's envoy went to meet the Moonlight Family boss on the next day and that was the first line that he said. Rena: "You didn't believe it?" Boss: "Well, even if you're not a human, you are still a single person. I had thought that it wasn't enough to defeat the knight captain, Alexei. Did I go senile as well?" Well, you wouldn't think that a coup would be successful with merely one little girl, yes? Boss: "...One question, what if we don't manage the territory like what you wanted to?" Rena: "? I will just change the head again, though?" Boss: "...I see, we don't want to be as hostile as we could towards you as we won't do anything from here." Rena: "That's splendid." Though, it would be easy to do as there won't be the knight leader next time. Rena: "Well then, I will leave the rest to you, yes?" Boss: "Yeah, leave it to me." Rena: "Now then, that will be it from me today." I said so and left the place, went back to the hotel, and logged out. Today was a passionate day. What a nice feeling of exhaustion. What should I do next? Should I aim for the next city soon?

59.第一回公式イベント・六日目その2 まさかここまで楽しめる『遊び』を提供してくれるだなんて予想外もいいところですよ、もう知らないスキルとかも出てきてどんどんテンションが上がってきます。 「《ハイエンチャント・インテリジェンス》《五連爆裂》」 横薙ぎに振るわれた斧をバク転で躱しながら空中で毒針を投擲してから着地をしつつ、迫る魔術をそのまま斜面を滑り下りることで避ける。 「っ! 《聖壁》! ............うぅ、きゃあ?! 」 防壁を張られたようですが二発は耐えきれなかったようでその防御を抜いて後衛二人を始末することに成功します。 「ちくしょうがぁ! 《戦塵大瀑布》!! 」 「......おっと! 」 「ま、待て! 」 槍使いさんが消えていくのを尻目に飛んでくる矢を弾き、いつの間にかすぐ横にまで滑り降りてきた剣士の脇下からの一撃を背を反らして躱し、そのまま胴体を捻り心臓を短刀で貫きます。 「ライン!!? 」 すぐに退避しようとする弓使いの周りに爆薬入りの鉄球を投げ込み邪魔をしましょう。 「クソがァ!! 」 弓使いさんが雪崩に巻き込まれたのを確認した後はハンネスさんとの一対一ですね、いや〜本当に楽しかったですよ? ちゃんと有言実行しますし、見たこともないスキルなどで強化されますし、パーティーの連携なども最高レベルでしたしね......このまま終わるのは少々勿体なく感じてしまうほどです。 「さて、あとはあなただけです————」 「————《宣誓・俺はあらゆる難敵に屈さず打ち勝つ者》!! 」 名前:ハンネスLv.55《+10》 カルマ値:91《善》 クラス:戦斧使い セカンドクラス:剛力騎士 サードクラス:大地魔術師 状態: 挑戦《自身が格上と認識した相手に挑む時攻撃力上昇:大》 慈母献身《全ステータス上昇:少・強化効率上昇:大・継続回復:中》 属性付与《攻撃に大地属性:極大》 炎熱攻勢《攻撃に火炎属性:中・攻撃力上昇:中》 炎熱守護《火炎耐性上昇:中・防御力上昇:中》 神聖守護《光輝耐性上昇:中・防御力上昇:中》 宣誓: 不撓不屈《STR上昇:極大・VIT上昇:極大・常時HP減少:3%/1s》 「............ここからは短期決戦だ! 」 確かにそうですね、上から雪崩が迫ってきてますし《宣誓》スキルのデメリットでHPも長く持たないでしょうからね。ならば私もそれに乗ろうじゃないですか! 名前:レーナLv.44《+20》 カルマ値:-211《極悪》 クラス:殲滅者 セカンドクラス:魔統師 サードクラス:凶薬師 状態:憑依《影山さん》 虐殺器官《STR上昇:特大・AGI上昇:特大》 魔統《INT上昇:大・LUK上昇:大・従魔に対する強化効率上昇:大・従魔からの強化効率上昇:大》 凶気薬《STR上昇:特大・AGI上昇:特大・INT上昇:特大・VIT減少:特大・猛毒状態:常時HP減少:2%/5s》 属性付与《攻撃に火炎属性:極大・暴風属性:極大・光輝属性:極大・暗黒属性:極大》 「へっ、まだあったのかよ? 」 「ふふ、これで正真正銘最後ですよ? 」

Chapter 59 - The Sixth Day Of The Event (Part 2) This has been a surprisingly fun battle to 'play' in so far. I keep seeing skills that I had never heard of before and it's getting me more and more excited. While he screamed in pain, their mages started casting, "<High Enchantment: Intelligence>" and the other used "<Quintuple Explosion>!" I dodged the incoming axe blow while throwing a poison needle at its wielder. Then, I rushed towards the mages while dodging their spell. "Ho-<Holy Wall>! "Ky-kyaa!" It seems like the healer tried to put up a barrier, but she was unable to block my projectiles, so I successfully got rid of two of their supporters. "Damn it! <Great War Cascade>!" The archer shouted her skill. "Oh my..." I expressed as I saw it coming. "Wa-wait!" Hannes (?) said, but it was too late. I then dodged another arrow that was already coming at me, ducked below a sword attack, sneaked behind the swordsman and pierced his heart with my shortsword. "Ryne!" Hannes shouted. "Futile!" I shouted as I threw explosives around the archer who was trying to escape. "Damn it all!" He shouted. Now it was only me and him. This was pretty fun so far, they showed a lot of skills I hadn't seen before, and their party cooperation was pretty great... This doesn't feel like a fulfilling end to this battle. "Well, it's only you left..." I said without hiding my disappointment. "... <Oath, I will overcome all tough enemies without yielding>!" He said... I started giggling. "<Oath, I'm the one who will stand firm even after all my comrades have fallen!" I could not control myself and started laughing out loud...

Hannes asked in disbelief. "Well, this is the grand finale, isn't it?" I said while giggling. I don't care if there are other players watching, I wanna enjoy this 'supreme play' to the utmost.

もはやボロボロで起き上がることすら難しい彼女に問いかける。 「何度も......同じことを、言わせ......ないで」 彼女の足首に巻き付けた鋼糸を操作し、片足だけを引っ張りあげぶら下げる。......メイド服のスカートがめくれてしまっていますが、ここにユウさんは居ませんし大丈夫でしょう。 「げほっ、ごほっ......おや、心配......して、くれるんですか? 優し、いんですぶぇっ?!」 重要NPC 名前:アナベラ・ヴェルディLv.45《+30》 カルマ値:15《中立》 クラス:ロイヤルメイドセカンドクラス:ガードナーメイドサードクラス:ロイヤルガード 状態: 献身《特定の相手に尽くす毎にHP継続回復:最大2%/5s》 メイドの嗜み《INT上昇:特大・AGI上昇:特大》 メイドの矜恃《STR上昇:極大・DEX上昇:特大》 ロイヤルガード《VIT上昇:特大・最大HP上昇:大》 宣誓:絶対忠愛《INT上昇:極大・DEX上昇:極大・常時HP減少:3%/1s》 備考 ヴェルディ侯爵家・次女 ロイヤルメイド・第一王女専属メイド

The maid was panting... "You finally gave up?" I asked her who could hardly stand on her own. "I'll repeat it... As many times as needed... Just who will give up!?" She answered. "You really won't live much longer if you keep this up..." I told her as I hanged her upside down with a thread that I had tied around her ankle. She coughed blood a few times before being able to reply, "Oh, you're worried about me?" She asked sarcastically.

10.地下墳墓探索その6 さて、そんなこんなで恐らくボス部屋前です。ここまで長かったです。 散々道に迷い、時にモンスターと、時に他プレイヤーと遭遇戦......宝箱は中身がしょっぱいかミミックで、本当に時間が掛かりました......。 ボス戦が終わったら一旦ログアウトですかね? このカルマ値で宿取れるでしょうか? 偽装スキルでどうにかなりませんかね? 一応こういうことを見越して《交友》スキルは取ってますし、従魔たちと積極的にコミュニケーションを取ってレベルも上げておきましたし、なんとかなるといいのですが............。 「さて、皆さん次はボスですが準備はよろしいですか? 」 『――――! 』 『ヴゥ! 』 『......!

Chapter 10 Underground Tomb Exploration 6 Now then, I'm currently standing in front of perhaps the so-called boss room. It was truly a long journey. It really took quite some time as I had lost my way and occasionally encountered monsters and other players... The treasure chests only had shabby items and turned out they were mimics.... Should I log out once after the boss battle is over? Will my karma value be removed at the inn? Could I use my camouflage skill? That is why, I had picked up the <<Friendship>> skill, actively communicated with my followers and raised our levels to anticipate these kind of things. It's good if it turns out just fine...... Rena: [Well then everyone, our next opponent will be the boss, are all of you ready?] (Yamada) {----!} (Kageyama) {Uuu!} (Azabu) {......! (*Bassa bassa*!)} (Inoue) {Iiii!} Name: {Rena} | Gender: {Woman} Race: {Human} | Level: {29} Condition: {Possessed <<Kageyama-san>> } Karma Value: {-134 <<Evil>> } Class: {Assassin} | Second Class: {Tamer} SP: 65 [(Skill*Page)] {Dagger Art Lv. 19} {Throwing Lv. 17} {Walking Lv. 21} {Acrobatics Lv. 16} {Medicine Lv. 1} {Surprise Attack Lv. 21} {Tame Lv. 13} {Camouflage Lv. 11} {Detection Lv. 12} {Friendship Lv. 9} {Thief Lv. 9} {Jumping Lv. 7} {Evasion Lv. 14} {Martial Art Lv. 21} {Assassination Art Lv. 13} {Fatal Blow Lv. 10} {Feint Lv. 8} {Escape Lv. 9} {Voice Change Lv. 7} {Disguise Lv. 4} {Encouragement Lv. 12} {Leadership Lv. 14} {Command Lv. 11} {Physical Resistance Lv. 4} {Magic Resistance Lv. 2} {Physical Abnormality Resistance Lv. 1} {Mental Abnormality Resistance Lv. 1} {Night Vision Lv. 4} {Stealth Lv. 5} {Silent Move Lv. 7} {Presence Detection Lv. 5} {Danger Sense Lv. 7} {Listening Lv. 3} [(Title*Page)] Weapons: {Ordinary Dagger} <<Possessed*Yamada-san>> Body: {Cloak of Evasion} Armor: {Iron Light Armor} <<Possessed*Inoue-san>> Arms: {Black Gloves} Lower Body: {Prairie Wolf's Skin Leggings} Shoes: {Bandit Boots} * {Ordinary Cloak} <<Possessed*Azabu-san>> * {Supreme God's Rosary} <<Possessed*Santa-san>> * {Ring of Power} It will be a boss battle from now on and I have also equipped other equipments that were dropped besides the light armor which is being possessed by Inoue-san. I'm a little bit uneasy if I'm only wearing my initial equipment for the battle, you see. However, as I thought, after killing that much, the dropped equipments were only these things. Is the drop rate that low? I'm a little anxious when I think that it will be difficult to use the town facilities from now on, but... well, it should be fine if I kill or threaten them and snatch it away, though. Rena: [Let's go...] I opened the heavy door in front of me and advanced. Even if I have followers with me, it's still substantially called as solo. Hence, it's better to be prepared for a hard fight... it was good that I had loot some potions from the town (seriously). Rena: [Here we go everyone!] I used my kick as a momentum to move backwards while throwing some unnecessary things, but... well, it was repelled as expected. Rena: [Kicking a girl's stomach...] ----------------I will absolutely disassemble you!!! I charged in again to a point-blank range and my dagger that is on my right hand was stopped from its lower left side. It was blocked by the long sword that was handed over to another hand with a backhand grip and the skeleton did a half turn. I went around to the other side and put a kick on the back of its knee. I aimed at its neck when it fell behind while putting its knee in front---but, it twisted its body and I only managed to slice its thigh. It had evaded by moving its right leg and tried to turn around and kill me, but I tumbled and dodged it. ------Dodge and dodge and dodge and dodge. Our position changed constantly. We waved our blade while dodging each other's by a thin layer of paper. I do not know which direction it would come anymore as we kept clashing into each other and strike for fatal hits from left to right. I lowered my posture for the incoming long sword and plunged my dagger into the skeleton's flank while sliding around. The skeleton laid back to dodge and switched its weapon to the other hand and swung the sword down---the sword met the blade of the dagger and clashed at the same time as it had scattered sparks of iron. I asked Azabu-san to cast wind magic from the skeleton back who is currently on alert and takes a few distance from me. All of a sudden, the skeleton was blown off as Azabu-san let out <<Gust>> from its behind. From there as well I charged in and carried out a head-to-head collision. I sliced and cut the skeleton's waist which was bent from the back, at the same time with Santa-san's light magic. I swung my dagger towards its upper body that has fallen to the ground and cut of its arms. Rena: [This should be okay from here on out.] Oya? The lower body and arms that I had cut are still moving? Is it because it's an undead? Well that's fine. If it's coming towards here, I can just disassemble it as I had originally planned before. First, I grabbed the lower body that was approaching and slammed it to the ground. When it didn't move to a certain extent, I removed its joints and broke it apart. The lower body has become completely silent just as planned, and I also applied the same treatment to the arms. Rena: [Now then, have you prepared yourself?] ............though, I don't know whether it's being silent or just couldn't speak. How about we earnestly study about human body? I know how to break it somehow but I don't know the theory behind it because it was not a major subject for me either. Wait, the boss's HP continues to decrease at a tremendous pace when I noticed it. By any chance, is this perhaps also judged as a part of destruction? Rena: [Please do your best to endure it, okay?] It finally had some kind of reaction, but forgive me............it won't be that fun. Rena: [Perhaps this is where the spinal cord or cerebrospinal fluid passes? The ribs are not consisted of six bones, I see...] I continued dismantling while observing it, but it disappeared along the way. I still wanted to play, but it's unfortunate......yes, truly unfortunate. Nevertheless, it might be good to be the first one to conquer this area. Rena: [Ah yes, before that...] Let's change the color of my hair with the camouflage skill. Rena: [This looks alright. Okay, shall we go back?] I then went to the transfer circle and logged out after staying in an inn at the town.

255.宗教改革と産業革命 「......で、宗教改革って具体的にはどうすんだよ?」 部下の一人から大量の胃薬を受け取ってそのまま飲んだエレンさんを見て、今度彼の為だけに私の『超薬』スキルで特製の胃薬でも作ってあげようかと考えながらざっくりと説明します。 「そうですね、大雑把に言えば多神教から一神教に変えます」 「支配するべきモノが増えたのは何も領土だけではありませんからね、その地に暮らす人......民族や人種もそうです」 特に『メッフィー商業立国』がある大陸北部なんか言語からして違いますからね、明らかに『始まりの街』があるここ、大陸西部とはルーツからして違う民族や人種が居住しているのでしょう。 いいえ、大陸西部にしたって既に肌の違う人達が入り乱れていますね。 私が最初に殺した重要NPCであるアレクセイさんは軽く日焼けこそしていたものの、白い肌に金髪碧眼でした。 ですがついこの前楽しく殺し合ったロン老師と、その息子であるロノウェさんは浅黒い褐色の肌をお持ちの様でしたし、こちらもまた扱う言語こそ一緒ですが、元々のルーツは違う民族なのでしょう。 そうですね、内海に居るとされているらしい海神を先祖代々崇めていたそうですから、ロノウェさん達が先住民で、アレクセイさん等の『元エルマーニュ王国』に属する勢力が大陸の中央や南部から渡って来た民族......ですかね。 ロノウェさん達も最初に出会った頃は奴隷階級でしたし、そこまで外れてはいないでしょう。 「操る言語や慣れ親しんだ文化すらバラバラなのに、崇める神すらも個人で違うのでは国が割れます」 今は対外戦争が続き、その奥底に潜む差別的な目は外へと向けられていますが、いずれ同じ国民同士で殴り合う様になるでしょう。 新たに獲得した領地や植民地に対する分割統治と、内地の国民の分断では訳が違うのです。 分割統治もあくまでも支配する過程に過ぎませんから、いつまでもやり続ける訳でもありませんからね。 「宗教に一番求められているモノって、何だと、思いますか?」 「......祈り?」 「違います、コミュニティという現世利益です。信仰の道を極めるというのは聖職者だけで、一般的な民衆にとってはあまり重要ではありません」 四世紀に生きた聖アウグスティヌスも、『信仰を求めて教会に来る者は少ない』と人々がコミュニティでの交わりの方ばかりを求めていて、自らの信仰を深めようとしないことに苦言を呈していたくらいですからね。 民衆が宗教に求めているものをそう解釈し、考えるのであれば答えは一つだと思いますね。 「多民族を纏める統治の手段として、全てを受け入れるただ一つの神が必要です」 ほぼ単一民族国家である日本においてはあまりピンと来ない方も多いかも知れませんが、肌や髪の色という見た目、育った文化、操る言語、ルーツすらも同じ民族同士では、それ自体が『仲間である担保』となり得ます。 ですが他民族同士だとそうはいきません......今自分の目の前に居る見た目も言葉も違う存在が仲間なのかどうか、全く分からなければ信用も出来ません。 そこで同じ宗教を信仰していると、同じ価値観や基準で動く同胞だという担保が生まれる訳です。 その為に信じるべき価値基準となる神が複数も存在する多神教ではいけません。 考え方が違えど同じ民族だから仲間だねとなる日本とは違って、違う民族だけど同じ考え方だから仲間だねと、そうしなければならないのですから。 ......まぁ日本も完全な単一民族国家ではないんですけどね......大和民族の他には琉球民族を筆頭に朝鮮民族、漢民族などもそれなりに多く居ます。 「目の前の存在が敵ではない味方であるという保証と、どんな存在であろうとも暖かく迎え入れ、地域住民の寄り合い所となる様なコミュニティの形成を目指します」 「......要は、本気で中央神殿に喧嘩を売るんだな?」 「そうですね、彼らの信仰している神々は元は一柱の全知全能の絶対神だったんだと、そうでっち上げますからね」 「一歩間違えれば世界中の国が一斉に侵攻してくるぞ」 まぁ一方的な破門宣告や何やら色々と突き付けてくるのではないでしょうか? エレンさんの言う通り、一歩でも間違えれば十字軍の様なモノが組織されてしまうでしょうね。 「そうですね、なので我々は新しい宗派として売り出します」 「現在の中央神殿に対する不満や疑惑なんてモノはそれこそ山の様にあるでしょう? それらを全部ぶちまけてやるんですよ、上手くいけばカトリックとプロテスタントの様に真っ二つに割れますよ」 「こっちの世界の話です」 彼らは堕落しているとして、本当の信仰の道とは何かとは色々と理由を付けて非難しつつも新しい宗派を作り出す。 ルターなんかをお手本にすればまぁ良いのではないでしょうか......地球の出来事が全て当て嵌る訳ではないので、このゲーム世界に合わせて改良は必要でしょうが。 「全く新しい宗教を作って集団改宗させるよりも、今あるモノを乗っ取るだけですから穏やかです」 「あぁ、そう......」 宗教に関しては改めて家の資料を漁ろうと考えながら、エレンさんの出してくれたお茶を口に含んでから話を切り替えましょう。 「次は産業革命についてです」 何やらもう疲れた様子のエレンさんに向けて、まずは機織り機の設計図を手渡します。 「機織り機と言います。まず最初はそれを導入する事から始めましょう」 エレンさんに細かく、これを導入する事でどんな利点や問題があるのかを説明しながら、比較的に作るのが簡単である事を教えます。 私の話を聞いていく度に眉間に皺が寄っていく彼の顔に首を傾げながらも、話を続ける。 「なるほど、生産スピードが格段に上がるのは分かったが......何のエンチャントも付いてなければ、防御力もほぼない装備に意味があるのか?」 「それは戦う職種に限る話でしょう? 大多数の一般市民は身体を隠せればそれで良いんですよ、市場もそちらの方が大きいですし」 ですがまぁ、ここはゲーム世界でしたね......エンチャントも防御力もないただの衣服の価値は想定していたよりも少し下がると見た方が良いでしょう。 この大量生産する過程で一定以上の付与効果が与えられる術が見つかれば良いのですが......そうですね、それは検証班であるユウさんに投げてみましょうか。 とりあえず我々は大量生産に伴って、消費型経済への移行を目指します。 「ついでに圧倒的な生産性で殴り、他国の繊維産業も壊滅させてしまいましょう」 「......あぁ、怖い怖い」 「原材料を安価で大量に仕入れ、そして完成品を他国に売り付ける......その過程で先ほど話した一神教を布教しつつ植民地にするのです」 ──白人がアフリカにやってきたとき、われわれは土地を持ち、彼らは聖書を持っていた。彼らはわれわれに目を閉じて祈ることを教えた。われわれが目を開いたとき、彼らは土地を持ち、われわれは聖書しか持っていなかった。 ケニヤの独立運動のリーダーであり、初代大統領でもあるジョモ・ケニヤッタの言葉です。 現実世界に生きていた私には地球の歴史という、このゲーム世界に生きる ......確か、こういうのを知識チートや内政チート、等と言うのでしたっけ? ユウさんとマリアさんがその様な事を言っていた気がします。 「銀行の設立により資金を用意し、それを元手に産業革命を行い、その圧倒的な生産力で他国の産業を食い破り、我々の作る製品に依存したところで布教と民間の商会による土地の買収を進めるのです」 「......悪魔か?」 「そうして買収した他国の土地では原材料の生産と採掘のみをやって貰います......そして溢れる程に多く生産した我々の製品を買い取って貰う独占市場とします」 「......悪魔だ」 多分というか、確実にエルさんも似たような事をするでしょう......大陸西部の北端と南端からお互いに徐々に勢力圏を伸ばしていき、そして自国や属国の国境がぶつかった時が総力戦の始まりです。 それまでは一先ずの準備期間といったところですかね。 「産業革命などに伴って発生するであろう、我が国の失業者に対する対応などは後で細かく話し合うとして、大まかにはこんな感じになりますね」 ユーラシア大陸の西部に位置するヨーロッパ地方から産業革命や植民地獲得競走が始まった様に、ゲームでも大陸西部からそれが始まるのは個人的にとても面白く感じられますね。 そう言って話を締め括ると、エレンさんは酷く脱力し、ソファの背もたれに身体を預けながら一言だけ発します。 「──胃薬を持って来い」 「へ、へい!」

255 The Reformation and the Industrial Revolution "...So, what exactly do you mean by reformation?" While staring at Eren-san, who received a large amount of stomach medicine from one of his subordinates and drank it, I briefly explained while thinking about making him a special stomach medicine just for him with my [Super Medicine] skill. "Well, roughly speaking, we'll change from polytheism to monotheism." "The reason why we have more things to control isn't just because of the territory, but also the people who live there... The ethnic and racial groups." Especially in the northern part of the continent, where the Meffy Commercial State was located. Not only was the language different, it was clear that different ethnic groups and races lived there. The same went for the western part of the continent, where the City of Beginnings was. No, even in the western part of the continent, people with different skins had already jumbled together. The first major NPC I killed, Alexei-san, was slightly tanned. Not to mention, he also had fair skin, blond hair, and a pair of blue eyes. However, Sage Ron and his son, Ronove-san, whom I had fun partaking in bloodbath with just recently, seemed to have dark brown skin. Moreover, while they spoke the same language, their origin was different-- I had also heard that their ancestors worshiped the Sea God who was said to reside in the inland sea. So I guess that Ronove-san and his people were the natives and the forces belonging to the former Kingdom of Hermagne. Then, people such as Alexei-san probably hailed form the central and southern parts of the continent... When we first met, Ronove-san and the others were of the slave class. As such, my conclusion was probably not that far off. "Considering the languages we use and our customs are already different, if even the gods we worship are different for each individual, the country will split." Now that the foreign war had ensued, the discriminatory eyes which lurked in the depths of the war were directed outward. But eventually, the people would start fighting each other. There was a difference between dividing and conquering newly-acquired territories and dividing the people of the mainland. Dividing and conquering was nothing more than a process of ruling, so it wasn't like we were going to keep at it forever. "In terms of religion, what do people seek after the most?" "...Faith?" "No, it's the worldly benefit of the community. Only clergy cares about mastering the path of faith, while the general populace don't care." St. Augustine, who lived in the 4th century, also complained that instead of deepening their own faith, people were only seeking fellowship in the community. He said something along the line of, As such, if I were to interpret and think about what the people expected from religion, there was only a single answer. "As a means of governing multiple ethnicities, we need a single god who accepts all." In Japan, which is almost a mono-ethnic country, this may not be so obvious to many people, but when people of the same ethnicity share the same skin color, hair color, culture, language, and even roots, this in itself can be a "guarantee that they were friends." But that wouldn't work if the person came from a different ethnicity. Some might feel incapable of trusting another simply because they looked different. Therefore, if they believed in the same religion, they'd have a sense of security and camaraderie, who had the same values and standards. For that reason, it shouldn't be a polytheistic religion in which there were multiple gods that served as the standard of value to believe in. Unlike in Japan, where people who had different mindsets became comrades due to the same ethnicity, I'd make it so that people of different ethnicity became comrades because they had the same mindset. ...Well, Japan wasn't a completely homogeneous nation, either. But beside the Yamato race, there were also many ethnic groups such as the Ryukyu race, the Korean race, and the Han race. "We aim to create a community that can guarantee that the presence in front of us isn't an enemy, but an ally, and that we'll warmly welcome any presence while becoming a gathering place for local residents." "...Basically, are you going to fight with the central temple?" "Well, I'll make up a story that the gods they believe in used to be a single, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and absolute god." "If you make one wrong move, all the countries in the world will invade at once?" If anything, it'd become a one-sided excommunication. Like Eren-san said, if I made even one wrong move, there'd be a crusade. "Hence, we'll sell it as a new sect." "There're mountains of dissatisfaction and suspicions about the current Central Temple, right? If everything goes well, it'll split in half like the Catholics and the Protestants." "Oh, it's irrelevant." While accusing the Central temple of being corrupt, I'd declare the new sect as the true path of faith with various reasons. It'd be nice to use something like Luther as a model. However, not all events on Earth could be applied, so it'd be necessary to make improvements according to the game world. "Rather than creating an entirely new religion and performing mass conversion, it's just a matter of taking over what already exists, so it's more peaceful." "I, I see..." After sipping the tea prepared by Eren-san, I decided to switch the topic. As I pondered about the subject matter, I fished through the documents pertaining to religion. "Next is about the industrial revolution." I handed over the blueprints for the weaving machine to Eren-san, who seemed exhausted. "It's called a loom. Let's start by introducing this." While explaining in detail to Eren-san regarding the advantages and problems behind introducing such a tool, I also told him that it was relatively easy to make. As I explained further, the confusion in Eren-san's face grew. "I see, while I understand that the production speed will increase dramatically, but... is there any meaning in creating equipment that offers no defense or enchantments whatsoever?" "But you aren't supposed to bring it to combat? The majority of ordinary citizens are generally under no risk of danger. As long as it can hide their bodies, it'd suffice. Besides, the market is bigger there." It was obvious that the value of a mere garment with no enchantments or defenses would be a little lower than expected. It'd be nice if I could find a way to impart some effect in this process of mass production. For now, I aimed to move to a consumption-based economy along with mass production. "With our overwhelming productivity, let's crush the textile industry of other countries." "...How scary." "Buy the raw materials at a low price and in large quantities, then sell the finished products to the other countries... Colonizing them while propagating the monotheism I mentioned earlier in the process!" When the whites came to Africa, we had the land and they had the Bible. They taught us to close our eyes and pray. When we opened our eyes, they had the land and we had nothing but the Bible.' Those were the words of Jomo Kenyatta, the leader of Kenya's independence movement and also its first president. I, who lived in the real world, had knowledge about the history of Earth that the NPC didn't. Therefore, I shall use it effectively. ...Is this what they call knowledge cheats or domestic affairs cheats? I think Yuu-san and Maria-san said something like that. "By establishing a bank, we'll prepare some funds. Then, we'll use it as the basis for the industrial revolution, and with its overwhelming productive power, we shall triumph over the industries of other countries. We're proceeding with the acquisition." "...Are you a devil?" "In the acquired land of other countries, we'll only produce and mine raw materials... and we'll make it a monopoly market where they'll buy nothing but our overflowing products." "...You're the devil." Perhaps, or rather, I was sure that Eren-san would eventually do the same. From the northern to the southern ends of the continent's western part, we'd gradually extend our spheres of influence. Afterwards, when the borders of our own country and our vassals collided, it was an all-out--the beginning of the war. Until then, it was just a preparatory period. "We'll discuss in detail later how to deal with the unemployed in our country, which will likely occur with the industrial revolution." Just as the Industrial Revolution and the race to acquire colonies began in Europe, which was located in the western part of the Eurasian continent, I personally found it very interesting that the game began in the western part of the continent. Upon hearing that, the terribly weak Eren-san collapsed on the sofa and only said one word-- "--Bring the stomach medicine." "U, understood!"

54.第一回公式イベント・三日目その2 短刀を抜き去りながら毒針を投擲し、相手に接近します。 見たくないのを我慢して首を狙って短刀を振るいますが、その手首を掴まれ握り潰されながら反対側の地面に叩き付けられます。また反対側へと叩き付けられる前に逆の手に持ち替えた短刀で相手の手首を切り落とそうとしますが、直前に手を離され失敗。そのまま投げ飛ばされるのを空中で回転して体勢を整えて着地します。 「し、紳士の股間を狙うなど............」 「磨り潰して豚の餌にしてあげますよ」 そもそもそんなわかりやすく弱点を晒してるのが悪いと思うのですが......そもそも防御力どうなっているんでしょう? 武器を装備しない方が拳打の威力が上がるのと同じで防具を装備しない方が良いというスキルでもあるのでしょうかね? まぁ、変態さんの考察は於いて......そろそろアレを切り取りましょ――――――― また新手ですか、そういえば大きい反応は二つでしたね? 正直もう色物は勘弁してもらいたいのですが............変態さんに対する攻撃をキャンセルして、相手が振るう大鎌の一撃をバックステップで躱します。周囲の木々ごと薙ぎ払われたその一撃によってちょっとした広場が出来上がり、ダメージから回復した変態さんと共に三つ巴の様相となります。 「やっと見つけたわよ! 私はあなたを倒して――――きゃっ?! な、なんて格好してるのよ?!! 」 「ぬ? 吾輩のことですかな? 」 「アンタ以外に誰がいるのよこの変態!! 」 「変態とは手厳しい! できれば変態紳士とお呼びください」 「何が違うってのよ?! 」 よくわからない彼なりの拘りがあるのでしょう............多分。それはそうと彼女を観察します。武器は大鎌であり取り回しが難しそうですが、先ほどの周囲の物ごと薙ぎ払う攻撃を見る限りそんな隙は無さそうです。格好はゴスロリでよく似合ってますね。 「大分違いますぞ! 私は変態ではなく変態紳士! ただの変態に成り下がらないよう常に自分を紳士道で諌めておるのです」 彼女の薄い反応と同じく私もあまり興味ないので攻撃します。投擲した毒針はそれぞれ弾かれてしまいましたが、大鎌の彼女には爆薬付きですので目くらましができます。 そのまま変態さんの懐に潜り込み短刀を心臓へ、わかりやすい弱点へと膝蹴りを―――――― 彼のジャブを左右のステップで躱しつつ時折腕を切りつけますが、《硬化》でも使っているのでしょう、傷が浅いです。 「......まさか全部言う気ですかね? 」 「知らないわよ! いいからあなたはさっさと殺られなさい!! 」 「普通に嫌ですね」 そんなところに横から大鎌の薙ぎ払いが来てその状態から脱します。彼女は石突で変態さんの顎を打ちつけて怯ませ、そのままこちらに連撃を放ってきます。大振りの袈裟斬りを敢えて前進して躱し、誘いに乗った彼女が自身に大鎌を引き寄せるようにして追撃してくるのを跳躍して刃の上に乗ることで躱しつつさらに接近、鼻っ柱を殴り折ります。 「レディの扱いがなっていませんな?! 紳士道5箇条その3! この世に普遍的正義など存在しない!! 」 そのまま首を落とそうとしましたが、復帰した変態さんの飛び膝蹴りが来たのですぐさま跳躍して回避します。............思いの外、この三竦みの状態はやりづらいですね? 外から他のプレイヤーも見ているでしょうし、あまり手札は晒したくないのですがね............。 「ええぃ! この変態は五月蝿いし、私は目立てないし最悪じゃない! 死ね! 」 ........................いやぁ、彼らキャラ濃ゆいですねぇ......こんな時でも目立ちたがる大鎌の彼女に、自身の持論を展開し続ける変態の彼。眺める分には面白いですけど関わりたくはない人種の方々ですね。 「ふふん、そして紳士道5箇条その5!! 己を抑圧するべからず!! 自身を曝け出しなさい!!! 」 「............本当に最後まで言い切ったわね? 」 「『宣誓・私は常に輝き続ける者』」 種族:鬼人 名前:変態紳士Lv.48《+10》 カルマ値:112《善》 クラス:拳闘士 セカンドクラス:武闘家 サードクラス:露出狂 状態: 露出《露出面積が大きいほど防御力上昇:大》 宣誓: 紳士道《STR上昇:極大・VIT上昇:極大・常時HP減少:3%/1s》 種族:魚人 名前:ブロッサムLv.51《+10》 カルマ値:-111《悪》 クラス:大鎌師 セカンドクラス:舞踏家 サードクラス:アイドル 状態:短気《気に入らない事を素直に罵倒するほど攻撃力上昇:大》 宣誓:私が一番《STR上昇:極大・DEX上昇:極大・常時HP減少:3%/1s》 強化が終わったお二人が戦意を滾らせそれぞれ構えます。どうやら発動するのにも条件が必要らしいですが、それも不明でしたね。変態さんは自分の素晴らしさを説くことですかね? 彼女はまったく解りません、なぜ発動出来たのでしょう? 習得方法は? まぁ、どのみち教えてくれるはずもないですね............それよりも如何にして手札をなるべく晒さずこの二人を倒すのか..................これが俗に言う『縛りプレイ』という『遊び方』ですか..............................いいじゃないですか!!! 「目立つのは私だけで充分よ! 」 「ふふっ、楽しいですね? 」 三竦みの状態で互いに睨み合い、そして同時に中央へと駆け出す――――

Chapter 54 - The Third Day Of The Event (Part 2) While unsheathing my shortsword, I threw a poison needle and approached my opponent. I thought he would swing his fist at the needle, which would momentaneously stun him, but he instead dodged the needle by changing his posture slightly. Putting up with the annoying sight, I swung my shortsword at his neck, but my wrist was grabbed and then he threw me at the ground. I tried cutting his wrist out, but he released me to dodge, then tried grabbing my wrist with his other hand. Before he could, I jumped away and we went back to a neutral position. "To think you'd aim at a gentleman's crotch..." He said. "I'll grind it and feed it to pigs." I answered. In the first place, I think it's a bad idea to expose your weaknesses like this. Where is the defensive power in this getup? Is there a skill that gives him a bonus if he doesn't equip any armor? Just like how the power of <Martial Arts> increases if he doesn't use any weapon? Well, in any case, it's about time to finish the pervert for good. In any case, I stopped my attack on the pervert and dodged her scythe blow with a backstep. Her attack created a shockwave that blew up the nearby trees and also wounded the pervert who had just recovered from my last attacks. "I finally found you! Now I'll beat you and... Wha-what!? What is that thing!?" She screamed. "Mmm? Do you perhaps mean me?" The pervert asked. "Who else other than a pervert like you!?" She answered. "That is a bit too much, please refer to me as the Pervert Gentleman." He replied. "Just what's the difference anyways!?" She exclaimed. I guess there is a difference in his eyes... Maybe. I decided to stop paying attention to him and focused on her instead. She uses a scythe that seems pretty hard to handle, but considering how powerful that blow I just dodged was, it seems to be quite dangerous. Her gothic outfit looks good on her in any case. "There's a big difference! I'm the Pervert Gentleman! I make sure to retain my gentleman ways so that I don't become just a pervert!" He answered her. "Is that so..." She seemed to not care for his explanation at all. I didn't either, so I figured we should go back to the combat. I threw poison needles at them both, and also attached the ones thrown at the girl with explosives so that I can block her eyesight with the smoke. While she was distracted, I ran towards the pervert and tried to stab his heart with my shortsword. "Rule number two! Believing is a virtue, but one shouldn't get negligent!" He shouted while trying to hit me with some jabs. I dodged them and occasionally cut his arm with my shortsword, but he is probably using the <Hardening> skill, as the wounds were always shallow. "You're not really going to say all of them, are you?" I asked. "I don't know! That depends on how fast you die!" He answered. "That's quite unpleasant." I replied. A scythe came from the side and hit the place I was just at. Immediately after, the girl hit the pervert's chin with a thrown stone and then started attacking him with a series of swings. He hesitated a bit to move closer when faced with such a large weapon, but eventually he jumped in and punched her nose. "You might think that this is not appropriate treatment for a lady, but rule three of the gentleman's path says that there is no universal justice in this world!" He exclaimed. In the meanwhile I tried to behead her, but the pervert jumped in with a kick and forced me to dodge. This three-way fight is surprisingly tough. Mainly because there are probably other players watching the fight though, so I don't want to end it by showcasing too many of my tools... "This pervert is disgusting! Absolutely the worst! And you're even stealing my spotlight! Die!" The girl screamed while swinging her scythe. "You aren't sure yourself?" I asked him... They're sure quite the characters. The pervert who continues to blurb out his rules, and the scythe girl who wants to stand out even in the middle of a battle. They make for an interesting sight, but they're not the kind of people I want to get involved with. "And gentleman's path rule five! Don't suppress yourself! Expose yourself!" He shouted. "... You really did go all the way to the end." I commented. "Hmph! Oath, I'm the one who stands above all who glitter." The girl started saying as well... Is she also...? "Oath, I'm always shining." Race: Half-Demon Name: Pervert Gentleman Lv.48 << +10 >> Karma value: 112 <<Good>> Class: Boxer; Second Class: Martial Artist; Third Class: Exhibitionist Condition: Exposure << The larger the exposed area, the higher the defensive power: Large >> Oath: Gentleman's path << STR increase: max; VIT increase: max; constant HP decrease: 3%/1s >> Race: Mermaid Name: Blossom Lv.51 << +10 >> Karma value: -111 << Evil >> Class: Scythe Master; Second Class: Dancer; Third Class: Idol Condition: Short temper << Attack power increases as you curse things you dislike: Large >> Oath: I'm the best <<STR increase: max; DEX increase: max; constant HP decrease: 3%/1s>> Now that they finished buffing, they seem ready to fight. It seems like there are pre-requisites for activating the oaths... Although, isn't the pervert just preaching about his ways? And I wonder what allowed Blossom to activate hers. Also, how do I learn those...? Well, they certainly won't tell me, but that's fine. Now how I defeat them without showing too many of my tricks? Isn't this similar to fighting with my hands tied behind my back... Wait, that would be no good near the pervert! "I'm the only one that can stand out!" The girl shouted. "This is fun, isn't it?" I said while giggling. We glared at each other for a second before all three of us rushed to the center of the battlefield.

半壊し、さらに入り組んだ王城内を駆け抜けていると、身長が二メートル以上はありそうな偉丈夫が通せんぼして来ましたね......着ている衣服や装備品、装飾品から見るに大物の可能性がありますね。 「どちら様で?」 「......エルマーニュ王国軍総大将、アードルフ・M・サウスクラウド」 これまで王城内で出くわしたのは壊乱している兵士の方々のみ......それも殺すとなるとハンネスさんと蘭花さんが邪魔して来ますので、ちょっと消化不良気味でしたんですよね。 「そんな方がどのようなご用件で?」 「知れたこと......歴史と伝統ある我が祖国に唾吐く大逆罪共を誅するのよ」 「......おい、おま、一条......お前......え? いや、大丈夫か?」 どうやら成功のようですね。この言葉をユウさんが発した後、必ずと言って良いほどにマリアさんが「そんな! 貴方を置いて行けないわ!」だとか、「大丈夫なわけない!」みたいに、相手を心配するような言動を取りますからね......そう来たら次は── 「......ほう? ほうほうほう? なるほど......貴様が、貴様があの悪魔かァ......」 そうです、敵が「全員逃がさない」というような事を言ったらすかさず挑発するのです......確か二人はそんな感じで進めていましたので、間違いありません。 総大将さんもこめかみに青筋を立て、憤怒の形相で私のみを見詰めていますしね。 「私は別に楽しければここでイベントを脱落しても問題ありませんのでお構いなく......大国の総大将ともなれば、とんでもなく強い重要NPCでしょうしね」 私自身はスルーしていましたが、どうやら私がアレクセイさんとロノウェさんを立て続けに殺した事によって、運営がNPC全体にテコ入れをしたようですからね......それに重要NPC自体、プレイヤーがメインシナリオを進める毎に強化されていくのが決まりのようですし、現時点での大国の総大将ともなれば......ふふっ、楽しみですね? 「お前......そんなに死亡フラグ重ねて大丈夫なのかよ──」 「──いいから行くぞ! アイツの頑張りを無駄にする気か?!」 何故か微妙な表情をしていたハンネスさんが言い募ろうとしていましたが、タピオカマンさんに羽交い締めにされながら引き摺られて行きますね......凄いですね、本当に先に行くように告げるだけで一人になれるとは......ユウさんとマリアさんのおふざけにも意味があったのですね。 「果たして死亡フラグとジェノサイダー、どっちが勝つのやら......それはヒンヌーのみぞ知る」 いつの間にかこめかみの直ぐそこにまで振るわれた薙刀を、咄嗟に鞘から抜き取った勢いのまま短刀の柄で下から殴り付けながら、姿勢を低くする事で凌ぎます。......思った以上のスピードで素直に驚きましたね。 「......ふふっ、久しぶりに楽しめそうです」 「貴様の死体を辱めてやろう」 重要NPC 名前:アードルフ・M・サウスクラウド Lv.121 カルマ値:0《忠道》 クラス:黒龍武将 セカンドクラス:白豹騎兵 サードクラス:緑梟軍師 状態:仇討ち《仇を討つ時攻撃力上昇:大》 備考 サウスクラウド宮中伯・前当主 エルマーニュ王国・近衛師団長 エルマーニュ王国・総大将 エルマーニュ王国・最高戦力 ファンキー爺さん ロノウェさん以来のNPCの方との真剣勝負ですね......腕が鳴りますね? どう『遊び』ましょうか? レベル差等が大きいですから、創意工夫が必要ですね。 「主君の仇討ちとなれば、心躍るのは否定せんがな......」 本当にいつもこうだよね......喧嘩の原因はしょうもない事なのに、仲直りに変に時間が掛かっちゃって、馬鹿らしい......いや、ここは私からいつものスパイラルを断ち切ろうじゃないか! 駅前のケーキを奢る事になるのは癪だけど、なんだか嫌だしさ......よし! 「うぇっ?! あ、はい! なんでしょう?!」 「──って、いやいやいや! え?! 誰?! なんで私知らない人に担がれてるの?!」 「おお! マリア様! 麗しき清らかな御身に、この現世に穢れた私めが触れる事をお許しください!」 「じゃなくて! アンタ誰よ?! セクハラよ! 降ろしなさい!」 「何を言っておられるのですか! このゲームではプレイヤーも『借り者』になるのですよ?」 ユウとの喧嘩と仲直りに夢中になってて気付かなかっけれど、期間中ランキングで上位五〇〇名ずつが要人として発表されてる......なるほど、それで狙われてしまっ── 「──つまり合法的に我が聖母をお救いできる」 「──ユウぅ!! 謝るから助けてぇ!! 今すぐ助けてぇ!!」 「大丈夫でございます、安心なされよ......危害を加えたい訳ではございません」 ま、まぁ『借り者』になっただけだし......ちょっと変態過ぎてビビったけど、ただイベントのルールに従ってるだけか......なら何も問題は── 「──ヒンヌー教義、その十八ッ!! ──彼女達は臆病であるが故に隠れる、故に眺めて愛でよ」 「ユウッ!! 早く助けてッ!!」 多分、今の私は顔面蒼白だと思う......状況がさらに悪化しても、周囲のNPCに被害が出ちゃっても構わないから、レーナさんが助けてくれないかな......そしたら確実なのに......。

As we ran towards the royal castle, a strong man that was over 2 meters tall stood in our way and exclaimed, "Stop!" "Who are you?" I asked him. "I'm the Supreme Commander of Hermagne's Royal Guard. The name is Adolf M. Southcloud." He replied. However, Hannes and Ranka were already readying their weapons, this is a bit troublesome... "What business do you have with us?" I asked him. "I've come to put an end to the scum that spit on the honorable history of this country." He said while also readying his weapon. Seems like he is willing to fight to the death. "Hey, Ichi... I mean, Rena... Will you be alright?" Hannes asked me. Success! Just like Yuu and Maria said! The 'No, I can't leave you behind' scene! In that case, the follow up is... "Do not waste my efforts! Hurry up! I'll be fine even if I die!" "Oh... So you... I see... So you are the devil that ruined this country." He commented. Just as planned! If the enemy says something like, 'I won't let any of you escape', then all I need to do is taunt him, so that he only cares about me! And right now, the eyes of the Supreme Commander were filled with anger, and focused entirely on me. "I don't mind dropping out of the event here, because this looks fun. This ridiculously strong Important NPC. The Supreme Commander of Hermagne... He is mine, so you go on ahead." I told him. Moreover, it seems like the management team decided to greatly increase the strength of the NPCs after I killed Alexei, Ronove, and caused a lot of Chaos here in Hermagne. Not to mention how NPCs are supposed to naturally increase in power as the players advance through the game... So, right now, this NPC right in front of me must be a real challenge. "I mean... Is it really alright to raise so many death flags?" Hannes asked. "We should go! We cannot waste her efforts!" Tapiocaman suddenly exclaimed, then he picked up Hannes and started running ahead. "W-what?! What are you doing, Tapiocaman?! Stop this!" Hannes exclaimed, but Tapiocaman did not stop at all... Perfect! Just like Yuu and Maria said it would happen! This was quite the important knowledge that they taught me. "I wonder who will win... the Genocider, or the Death Flag army that she raised... Not even a Guru like me can know that." Hymn's Guru said that while following Tapiocaman. He was quite fast, and I was almost unable to react to it, but I parried his attack with my shortsword in the nick of time. I giggled once more, "Been a while since I felt like this... I'll enjoy this battle." "I'll destroy you so thoroughly that not even a corpse will be left." The supreme commander said. Important NPC Name: Adolf M. Southcloud Lv.121 Karma: 0 <Loyal> Class: Commander of the Black Dragons; Second Class: Knight of the White Panthers; Third Class: Strategist of the Green Owls Avenger: <Attack Power increases when fighting for revenge: Large> Notes: Former Head of the Southcloud County. Supreme Commander of Hermagne's Royal Guard General of Hermagne's Army Strongest Person of Hermagne Cool Old Man He really is quite strong. It's my first serious battle against an NPC since Ronove... So exciting! How should we 'play' today? We have big difference in level, so I'll have to be creative here. "I cannot deny that I am enjoying the opportunity of avenging my lord." The supreme commander replied... Well, it's fine if I'm the only one excited. It's always like this. It can't be helped that we quarreled, but to take this long to make up is ridiculous... No, I can't let our relationship remain like this! I'm not going to let this quarrel stand in our way any longer! "W-whoa?! W-what is it!?" He asked me. "Wh-what the!? Who are you!? Why are you carrying me like this!?" I asked him. "Oh, lady Maria! Please allow me touch your beautiful pure body!" He exclaimed. "Wait, what!? No! Stop that! That's sexual harassment! Get me down!" I have no idea what was happening, but somehow this guy was flying away with me! Why!? And why is he calling me 'lady' of all things!? "What are you talking about, my lady!? Players can also be kidnapped in this event!" The kidnapper said. "Eh!? Ah... You're right..." I replied. I was so caught up in my fight with Yuu, that I totally forgot that the people that were having the best scores in the event would also become kidnapping targets... "And because of that, I can legally save you, Saintess!" He exclaimed... Scary. Shivers ran all over my spine... This should just be a normal event kidnapping, but why am I getting goosebumps when listening to this guy, "Ah, to think that this lowly Hymn's Guru would be able to touch lady Maria directly... What a blessing..." "Yuu! I'm sorry! Please help me! Please help me right now!" I shouted as loudly as I could... When I was in trouble, dealing with something that was too much for me, he always helped me out... Please help me out again. "Do not worry, for I won't harm you, my lady." He told me. Coming to think about it, this is just a kidnapping for the event, so... Even if this guy is perverted and scary, it should be alright for as long as the event's rules are followed. I'll probably just be taken to his home country and that will be the end of it... Right? "Hymn's Pledge number eighteen! They hide out of timidity, so look over them and love them!" The pervert exclaimed. "Yuu! Please help me!" I shouted once more. I'm sure I was horribly pale now. I don't care if things go worse, or if the NPCs near me get hurt, I just need some help... I wouldn't even mind if Rena came and destroyed everything in our surroundings in the process, just please save me!

Chapter 122 - Ichijouji Reina's Daily Life - Six "AI is truly amazing these days, isn't it." A middle-aged man said while looking at a hologram that displayed a game character. "Indeed, they're almost indistinguishable from humans." Another middle-aged man said while nodding, "What do you think of it, Reina?" So bothersome. I didn't care about this in the slightest, but I suppose I should reply since he talked to me. As I thought of that though, a familiar face appeared, "Hey, Reina, you free?" Yahiko approached me while saying that. "Yes, sure." I replied. I didn't feel like talking to him much, but it was an excuse for leaving those middle-aged men. "Such a rare occasion, to see the children of the dukes getting closer like that..." The other man said. "Well, they're from the same school, aren't they?" The first of them two replied... They must be thinking I have some form of romantic relationship with Yahiko... How bothersome, what's the 'correct' answer in this situation? "We don't have this kind of relationship, thank you very much." Yahiko told them... "Oh, I see?" One of the men said. So denying it is the 'correct' choice? Let's follow along. "O-of course." I could hear one of them say as we moved out... Was my complementation to the conversation 'incorrect' too? How troublesome. "Not exactly, but..." I started replying, but he cut me off. "You don't really know what are the 'correct' answers to give in those situations perhaps?" He asked. "I just didn't have enough samples to work with for that scenario." I replied. Love talk is not something I'm used to seeing after all... Yahiko seemed to be better at this kind of thing than me though, I'm a bit envious of that. "Alright, then. Let's play more later." He said as I left. "Sure, let's play again." I replied, and then got in the car. I torn the dress apart and threw it away too. As if I need a gift from that mother-in-law. I didn't grow out of the size of the clothes my mother gave me, so why would I need someone else's!? I especially don't need this woman's clothes! I broke the gorgeous hair clip and threw it away as well. Why does this sister-in-law think I need such an unpleasant thing in the hair that my mother gave me? I don't need a sister-in-law!

「陛下......」 平身低頭から一転してなんとも言えないような視線を送る部下から目を逸らし、天井裏と窓の外に張り付いていた間者にナイフを投擲して撃ち落としながら書類をさらに読み込んでいく......が、またあの王女捕まったのか......今回は捕虜って訳ではないっぽいが......俺には分かるぞ......これはさらなる厄介事の火種だ。 クソう......仮にも王族、雑な扱いもそこら辺に放り出す事も出来やしねぇ......いや? そんな事をしてみろ......あの女が俺を処分しに来るだろう。 「コイツらはどうしやすか?」 「後で憂さ晴らしも兼ねて拷問する......適当にそこら辺に転がして──待て、二人だけか?」 「? はぁ、そうですか......誰の話かは分かりませんが大変なんですね?」 よっしゃ! 自分の事だと気付いてねぇぞ! 「さて、ここに来る途中にも似たような方とお会いしましたが......お仲間ですか?」 一瞬だけ面食らった顔をした奴の表情が見れただけで良しとするか......想定外の返しをされて少しだけ目を見開いてビックリする表情は案外可愛かったぜ? ......言ったら殺されるだろうけど。 「......ウチの拷問官を貸そうか?」 「いえ、前から気になっていた実験──花子さんと武雄さんは人間を苗床にできるのか、というのをしてみたいと思います」 「そう! 私達は口を割ると言っています! だから私達の命を助けると良い!」 「......あぁ、この人達もちゃんと話せる訳ではないんですね」 ......いや、それだけ俺たちの言語を話せるなら結構なもんだろうよ......それを複数人もコチラに送り込めるって事は......背後は北部でも有数の大国か、小国でありながらその経済力でもって、大国と同じだけの発言力を持つ『メッフィー商業立国』辺りか......。 「お願いを申請します! 国王陛下に助命を乞います!」 「私達は話します! 蟲を近付けるのやめる!」

"Well, your majesty..." He started saying. In the meantime, I threw a knife towards a prisoner that was trying to sneak outside, but that I could easily see through the window, then went back to reading as the person started screaming in pain as the knife hit their ankle. Also, that damned woman kidnapped Hermagne's princess again, didn't she? Though this time she apparently isn't a prisoner? Why does she keeps bringing me more trouble? I'd rather just throw this princess away and not deal with her, but that woman will surely kill me if I do... "What do we do with those guys?" My subordinated asked me while pointing towards the people that were trying to escape. "I guess I'll torture them later to relax. Put them in a cell or something in the meantime? "I see... Can't say I understand it, but you're having quite the hard time, aren't you?" That woman asked. Because she somehow doesn't even realize that she is the source of all my problems... Damn you! Why can't you have at least a small bit of self-awareness!? "Seems like you're having a pretty rough time." That woman commented... Yeah, because of you! "Oh, and by the way, I met those two outside, do you happen to know them?" Well, her confused expression was surprisingly cute, but I'm not saying that out loud, since I don't wanna die for something this silly. "Want me to lend you a torturer?" I asked her. "No need, I think this is a good opportunity to experiment a bit with what Hanako and Takeo can do with human hosts." As that woman said that, she summoned some two insect-like monsters. "Yes! We talk! Please save we!" The other begged me. "What a pity, they really seem to be unable to talk properly..." That woman commented. I mean, even if they aren't fluent in our language, their current grasp seems to be enough to handle negotiations... But I suppose she doesn't care at this point. "Please help! Beg king for help!" One of them exclaimed. "We talk! No insects please!" The other shouted.

「ここは......王都の神殿ですか、そういえば王都から帝都まで走ったんでしたね」 「僕もモンスターの群れを追い掛けてそのままだったね」 ......凄いわね、先ほどまで本気で殺し合っていたのでしょうに普通に会話を始めてしまったわ、ハンネスも自然と加わる辺り本人は否定するでしょうけど着実に毒されてきているわね。 「あの......ハン、ネス様......」 「あ? ......なんだ」 王女ちゃんが私の背後から恐る恐るといった様子で出てきてハンネスに心配の声を掛けるけれど......あのアホはそんな王女ちゃんの気も知らないで本当に......はぁ〜、近くにレーナちゃんが居るから前に出るのは怖かったでしょうに。 「無事に逃げられたようですね?」 どうやらレーナちゃんと絶対不可侵領域にはリアルで顔を合わせる用事があるみたいね、そのまま二人で連れ立って神殿を出て行ってしまう。 「......俺が求めるのは完膚なきまでの完全勝利だ、奴に『ごめんなさい』させるまで諦めん」 「今度こそ奴の頭を撃ち抜く」 「ミラだけ物騒だな......」

"Could this be... The temple of Hermagne's capital? I suppose I dragged the monsters from here to the Empire, so I ended up respawning here." Rena said. "And I chased after that monster swarm from here too." Absolutely Inviolable Area commented. "We also chased you all the way from this capital to that one..." Hannes told them. That's kinda amazing, to think they just fought until the three of them died and now they're just chit-chatting as if nothing happened? I certainly didn't expect Hannes of all people to be able to so naturally talk to Rena like that. "Ha... Hannes?" The princess shily spoke while getting up from my lap. "Oh? What is it?" He replied. Hannes seemed to be unable to believe the words he just heard, as he replied by saying, "What!? Of course I am! What would make you think I'm not!?" That idiot... She hid behind my back after hearing him shout... Does he have no common sense at all? How can he shout to a clearly worried child like that!? "Seems like you've escaped safely." Rena suddenly said, making the princess get even more startled... She seemed on the verge of crying even. Meanwhile, at some point, Absolutely Inviolable Area seemed to have moved closer to Rena and said, "Well, Rena, you've probably been called too, haven't you? I guess I'll see you at the venue then?" "Ah, well... Sorry, but I really won't be satisfied until I get a complete victory over her." He replied honestly... "I'll shoot through her head next time!" Myra exclaimed. "Why is Myra's motivation so different?" Kellin commented... But well, she is pretty fun like this too, and it's good that she is clear at what she wants.

However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. Can we go to any part of the Northern portion continent aside from Meffy? I'm still just playing on the Western portion of the continent... Some of the other top players seem to be exploring other Northern countries too. Oh? [Good News] The Genocider, the Saintess, and the Queen are together with swimsuits on a beach. Stupid! Not when we're talking about a new area! Why didn't you say that earlier!? Who cares about other regions!? I'm going! I arrived and... Oh. Edo will not stop us! Lol! No, seriously, it's quite the sight. Lol. Which guy? Well, Yuu. So, what do you want to ask? I can explain all the details involving the reproduction of the bugs necessary to use the skill, though I'm currently searching for a cat in Quest #12, so you better be quick. Ah, right... He is a top player too, after all. If you have nothing to ask, then I'm leaving. Ah, Maria and her friends are wearing swimsuits right now! Will you go watch them? Why would I? Or rather, why aren't you there yet? I want to see Yuu on a swimsuit! You don't have to be shy. I don't wear swimsuits, nor do I always play together with them. Besides, I'm being targeted by Red Crow right now anyways. I'd cause trouble if I went there and was found. Help! I'm getting smarter! A Zeppelin is a type of rigid airship named after the German inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (German pronunciation: ['tsep@li:n]) who pioneered rigid airship development at the beginning of the 20th century. Zeppelin's notions were first formulated in 1874[1] and developed in detail in 1893.[2] They were patented in Germany in 1895 and in the United States in 1899.[3] After the outstanding success of the Zeppelin design, the word zeppelin came to be commonly used to refer to all rigid airships. Zeppelins were first flown commercially in 1910 by Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-AG (DELAG), the world's first airline in revenue service. By mid-1914, DELAG had carried over 10,000 fare-paying passengers on over 1,500 flights. During World War I, the German military made extensive use of Zeppelins as bombers and as scouts, resulting in over 500 deaths in bombing raids in Britain.[4] * Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol, or simply alcohol) is an organic chemical compound. It is a simple alcohol with the chemical formula C2H6O. Its formula can be also written as CH3-CH2-OH or C2H5OH (an ethyl group linked to a hydroxyl group), and is often abbreviated as EtOH. Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a characteristic wine-like odor and pungent taste.[11][12] It is a psychoactive drug, recreational drug, and the active ingredient in alcoholic drinks. * It's funny to see people's reactions to this picture while they're still on the beach. You all should play the game more seriously! I mean, we can laugh at the craziness of the top players, but they're still super strong in the end. What a peaceful day...

Maybe she has overlapping skills of the same type. As expected, her level is too high lol. You are the lifetime honorary Genorer, there's no doubt for that. Everyone!

(Realizes) Well... Um... Please do your best! Genocider is truly a dark person. Rather than that video, I have some videos of Genocider myself, so would anyone want to see the compilation I made?

Well then, I'll stream it, Genocider's battle series!! http://****** No matter how many times I watch it, the expressions of the crowd when the tutorial old man's head went flying off will always be funny. Ah, you have already done it before I've started the quest. I'll kill you. Hey, it's not a costume! (Pointing at your throat with a dagger) Be sure to smile to express your love for the murderer. What are you so fearful of?! Die! Smile even when you are going to die. Hey let go of the weapon! Hey! You're going to die! You little **** stop it lololol How can he be one of the top players when his head is easily decapitated? This PVP beginner bastard! Hey!! Well, he's just in front to be killed, right? Creak creak (Sounds of head flying off) This game's great <3 Just die Sorry for not sparing a single person <3 Stop it already lololol my stomach hurts lololol Accept death without even thinking about it. Wow~ Amazing amazing. Kill the players who are dirty. Ah, wait <3 I'm killing you <3 Ah, wait, you're going to slip! The passageway's filled with sticky blood so it's dangerous. Don't spill blood all over, die! Ah, wait <3 I'm coming<3 Don't you feel sorry for the arson in the temple? Um-is this really the open space? You should die too! Dude!!

Don't go leveling up! lol Evolution of pervert... The soldiers have already gotten used to it lol. Hey, isn't it hard to level your skills? Is there no one who'd stop this guy...? >>218 I think you'd know if you've read the verification thread but it's easy to level the primary skill to the MAX level of 30, but it's hard to level the secondary skill that comes after it. It's when the game becomes really grindy. >>220 Thank you! Hmm, then what about the karma? I have also killed NPCs but it doesn't decrease? >>221 Not much is known about the karma even in the verification team. However, it will decrease if you kill more... I guess, even if you kill, it differs depending on where, when, how and who you kill, you know? How did you kill? Ah, is that so? I went out to the streets and attacked a passerby who had their guard down, maybe that's why... Wait a minute, based on that fact, how did Genocider achieve such low karma? lol Genocider's karma is damn dangerous (child-like comment). At the street's open space (temple), in the daytime where people has gathered, she openly set arson and launched surprise attacks, killing good civilians (women, kids and elderly included) and priests. Lol, this person is weird after all. What happened to the karma value? lol Though among the known karma values, the lowest one has reached about -110, didn't it? Therefore Genocider's karma value should be between -120 and -140. >>229 Well, that sounds pretty plausible. Oh. >>234 You didn't know? It's quest for the world. Nobody knows about Rena, really? That's impossible. That Party name is definitely a no for Genocider lol Genocider would probably choose a more serious name, thought it's just based on my image of her lol She has that much drive, achievements and charisma; a legendary person who increased the power of the chaos team, who used to be weak. There's no way she'd choose that Party name... I see, that's true... sorry for saying weird things. It's fine. Oh?!! What's this?!! It's the notice for the official event-! "(*'#`*)no "Hidden Tag Game" sounds fun lol But the order team will also have to attack the others huh... (perplexed) Normally, the order members would defend while the chaos members would attack, right? I'm not sure about the neutral though. It's the first game since the start of the service, it's a little huh? Then, what about neutral? >>259 With the neutral, it means that everyone around us would be the enemy... (Trembling voice) Hah, the top five names were also listed! ...there's one shitty dangerous person, no? lol There's a person with a super low karma value lol. This person is definitely Genocider!! [Quick News] Genocider's Player Name is Rena. I didn't expect her to be really Genocider... Eh, wait, then, that foolish party name really belongs to Genocider? Also, isn't Genocider solo? From what I heard from Hannes, who was defeated again in the north underground passage, she seems to have allies with some unknown people so maybe she's not always solo? Who's it! Apologize! To me!! Apologize, you idiots!!! Sorry, I didn't expect it to be true... Genocider has a surprisingly cute side lol. The difference with second place is exactly 100 lol. What did she do to get so low...? She murdered and dissected the soldiers... She also used children as shields lol.

Chapter 62 - Official Bulletin Board 4 [Event] Event thread 1 [First day] This is a thread to discuss the event. Let's write freely. However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. Boss Bye bye! Is everyone here just like me? Who decided that they wouldn't participate in the event? I'm here to watch. I guess so? I'm still weak, so I don't think I'd enjoy this kind of battle-focused event. Well, beginners and people that aren't very confident in their strength don't have much of a reason to participate. Though beginners wouldn't be targeted much because they wouldn't give many points after being killed, even if their karma is 0. I guess you need to have a certain level to appear in the rankings. >> 9 That makes sense, otherwise everyone would be hunting the 0 karma beginners. I want to hit the Management's Boss face. I expected someone from the KSO team to be monitoring these threads, but that's not really something the Boss should be doing now, is it? I just happened to be looking at the thread, so I'm doing my underlings' job! And please enjoy watching the event even if you don't participate. Poor team being run by such a boss, lol. Genocider spotted -()-! It's amazing that she doesn't care about her surroundings at all. Does she even remember all the chaos she caused here? Look at the terrified expressions of the NPCS! So NPCs can get scared, lol. I guess she didn't bother with using a disguise or a concealment skill. Could this be happening because her karma is too low? The guards are shivering, lololol. I think the way NPCs react to you depends on your karma. She is at -211 karma, on top of the Chaos faction. Oh? It's Hannes! He's right in front of her, yet she doesn't even glance his way, lol. Genocider really doesn't care, lol. Declaration of War spotted -()-! Looks exciting! Genocider is lying, right? >> 41 It's scary how accurate that is for the Genocider. Murdering is the same as eating bread for her, lol. Well, he is in one of the top teams, and I think their difference in skill has lowered since then? They might actually put up a good fight. I don't know if it's true, but he always said that he was killed before he had a chance to give it his all. >> 45 The secretary must have it rough... Genocider was definitely the one to crush the original event, lol. Try saying it directly to her, lol. It started while I was typing. Well, I just want to see the top players clash. Well, it is Genocider after all. And just as you all said that, two parties already engaged with the Genocider. Ah, the first victims. You stupid! When you meet the Genocider, you just automatically cooperate, there is no need to make a call for allies first! There's no time for that! >> 60 She already wiped them out, lol! Took only a dozen seconds or so. Literally one kill per second. She's so scary, lol! Is she a harbinger of death or a natural disaster? Lol! She's quite literally a man-made disaster, lol. You know, it's funny that those two parties, while not top players, were still pretty high ranked. She massacred them so fast... [Event] Event thread 7 [First day] >> 227 The Pervert Gentleman is also pretty strong, lol. >> 228 No it is not The Genocider doesn't even try to hide, lol. Why is she trying to stand out? Her points are just so high that even the people from her camp are attacking her, lol! And she's now escaping into the forest, lol. The forest was set on fire. OMG, lololololololololol! She doesn't care about environmental destruction! And here I was wondering why she was trying to stand out... I can't believe she is really burning the whole forest, lol. Why is she burning the forest? The forest is combustible, so it can't be helped. Lol. It's the Genocider, so it can't be helped. [Event] Event thread 24 [Third day] [Breaking news] Genocider is attacked by the pervert. The Genorers will inevitably get indignated at this. Why isn't he in the Chaos faction? Lol. Seems like she didn't even noticed it herself, lol. There are a lot of people that are either perverted, crazy, or that are hard-headed here, aren't there? If you think about it, most people would probably lean towards Order if they don't roleplay in some way. The pervert is strong, isn't he? I don't think she is being serious about it, but he is still putting a good fight against the Genocider. Lol. It's because he has a body of steel that was trained daily with the guards. Second place in chaos also appeared. Blossom is strong and selfish, but she also has a cute blushing face because of the pervert. Genocider may be blushing, but she still aims at his crotch. Talk about excessive... Seems like he doesn't enjoy being treated as just a pervert. And she as well! What is an Oath? It's a special skill that was first seen when Captain Alexei tried to defeat the Genocider at the time of the coup d'etat. It increases your stats by about 2.5x the normal amount and also increases your level by 10. It's a strong skill that reduces your HP by 3% per second, but the payoff is more than worth it. No clue... We can count the number of top players with an oath skill with one hand's fingers, and it seems like the way each of them learned it is quite different from the other... It seems that the way to learn it varies for each person. Is it like a unique skill? It's kind of like an old skill passed by the Celts or something. It's amazing that even among the top players, only a few have learned those. It needs a chant to be activated, so I guess it's unique for each person? I long for the day I can get one of those...

僕の目の前には大地ごと屋敷の一部吹き飛ばしてなお止まらず、熱波だけで街にまで被害を出したマリアがオロオロとしているのが見える。守りを固めていたNPCは文字通り蒸発していくのが......描写規制無しにしているから『あぁ、熱核兵器で死ぬ時こうなるんだな......』と思わず呟いてしまうほど見事だった。 「......すごい地面がガラスになってさらに溶けてる」 この場よりも熱く議論を交わし合い、時に殴り合っているプレイヤー達はいつもの事なので放っておいて『公共魔術』の《水道》から水を流し込み、《インフラ整備》と《空調》でそれを支援して、『土木魔術』の《年末》で突貫工事で道を整える。 「これがイロモノ枠のユウ......」 「イベント後、百を超えるジェノラー達から逃げ切ったという......」 「それが原因でジェノラーとアンチジェノサイダーの両方に認められた稀有な人材......」 「ぶっちゃけ半分以上なんの魔術かわからん......」 「普通の水魔術じゃダメなの?」 「早く合流しなきゃね!」 「......どうかなぁ? あの人たちが団体行動できるとは思えないんだけど」 「じゃあやっぱり、当初の予定通りだね......」 「そうだね、もう彼らは居ないものとして動いた方が良さそう」 先にプレイヤー略奪部隊を向かわせ、補給の問題を早期に解決させることを図る......こちらの大義名分は個人の傀儡となっている偽領主を排して、前領主を救い出すことだから住人NPCや元衛兵なんかも協力してくれているが......やはり目立たないようにしなくてはいけないため物資の枯渇が酷い......元々物流も滞っていたしね。 本当に頼むよ? 領主の屋敷の中でさっきみたいな大技をぶっ放されると僕まで巻き添えで死んじゃうからね? 本当の本気で頼むよ? 「わかってるって! お......ユウは黙って私に付いて来い!」 「......私、この戦いが終わったら脱稿するんだ」 「別にレーナさんを倒してしまっても構わんのだろう?」 「もう何も怖くない」 「レーナさんが居るのに、大人しく寝ていられるか!」 「こんな夜中に誰だろう?」 「大丈夫、ちょっと休めばすぐに元気になるから」 「いま何かが......いや、気のせいか」

"Yeah... Maybe..." I replied as I watched the destruction she caused. She not only destroyed a huge part of the mansion, but she also created a huge crater and evaporated a bunch of NPCs. Even the nearby players that weren't hit directly still ended up getting burnt to some extent... "So this is what happens when you're killed by a thermonuclear weapon." I commented. "To think even the ground would melt..." Maria said. It is quite unbelievable that she'd make even the ground hot enough to deal damage to whoever stepped on it. While the nearby players were having some heated discussions, and some even fighting with one another, I focused on the task at hand. I used the <Water Supply> skill of the <Public Magic> tree, together with the <Infrastructure Improvement>, <Air Conditioner> and <Year-End Rush> spells of the <Engineering Magic> tree. All that together quickly created a path that we could step on. "That's Yuu of the Variety Show alright..." A player said. "No wonder he was able to escape from over a hundred Genorers after the event..." Another player said. "He's a rare asset that has been recognized both by Genorers and by the Anti-Genociders..." A third one commented... "I don't know even half of the spells he uses..." Another one commented. "Couldn't he just use normal water magic for that though?" A fifth one said. "Alright, we should try joining forces with everyone soon." Maria said. "... Though can those people even work together?" I wondered. They all have such unique habits and personalities... "They're probably better off working independently, I think." "Then let's just move along as originally planned." Maria decided. "It's probably for the best to pretend that they aren't around." I replied. For now, we should send the players to loot their warehouses to restock our supply of potions, hopefully this will give us enough of an advantage to defeat the puppet lord and rescue the princess. Even the former guards of the mansion, from the time before the coup, are cooperating, so things should go well on that end. Though we need to keep a low profile in order to avoid too many complications. "Though don't go too wild..." I told her. We'll totally die if she uses a wide area spell inside the mansion after all. "I know that much! Now follow me!" She told me as she charged inside through the back door, and I went along. "I'll check the draft of your doujinshi once the battle ends, alright?" I told her. "It wouldn't be alright if Rena was defeated while we weren't nearby, right?" Maria wondered, ignoring me. "You aren't worried about her winning?" I asked. "I wonder if it would be alright for me to sleep next to Rena after this..." She wondered out loud, ignoring me again. "Just where is your mind going!?" I replied. "Well, it's alright, you should get better after a small break..." I sighed. "Ah, just what is happening to me...? I'm imagining so many things..." She replied.

39.クレブスクルム解放戦線・破軍その2 広場に向けて駆ける。 「止まれ! 」 「貴様よくも! 」 ............やはり街中だからというか、基本的に皆さん槍を装備していますね? 別に構いませんが............。 「フッ! 」 道を塞ぐ邪魔な衛兵その1の首を落とし、突き込まれる槍を掴んで引き寄せながら短刀でその方の喉仏をくり抜く。 「ぶぇっ! 」 ちょっとした時間で一部位だけ切り取るなど、私も大分武器の扱いが上手くなったと自分では思うのですがどうなんでしょう? 「クソっ! 」 隙を見ては鉄片を彼らの頭部や喉に投擲し、時に水路を飛び越えて、反対側の衛兵の頭上から頭を短刀で突き刺しながら近くに居た別の衛兵の頭を踏み砕き着地する。一斉に突き込まれる槍を家屋の壁を走り躱して、彼らのド真ん中に水の上でも燃える特殊な火薬でできた爆薬を投げて起爆させる。 「なっ! 」 「た、退避ー! 」 彼らの悲鳴を聞き流しながら屋根を飛び移りその場を離れる............大丈夫ですよ、死ぬほどの火薬量ではありません。ただ殺すよりも負傷者を増やした方が相手のリソースを削れますからね、戦争の基本(?)です。それよりも奴隷たちも見てないですし、通行の邪魔である住民たちを切り伏せ、広場を目指しましょう。 そうして辿り着いた広場では―――― 「――――よぉ、待ってたぜぇロノウェ............誰だお前? 」 ふむ? 恐らくアレがロン老師たちが言っていた用心棒とやらですか、隣に無口な方もいます。確か今日は見せしめをする予定とか言ってましたね、周りにはバラバラにされた左頬に印を持つ者たちの死体が散っています。 「......こいつらが気になるか? 」 「......えぇ、そうですね」 なんですかこの雑な切り口は? これでは団子にして捏ねるくらいしか使えないではないですか、ちゃんとブロックに加工しやすいように綺麗に切り落とさないと.........。 「悪ぃな、こいつらなら死んじまったぜ? 他ならぬ俺の手でな。お前にも聞かせてやりたかったぜぇ? ロノウェじゃねえのは残念だが、アイツらの悲鳴ときたら」 別に悲鳴とかは嫌いではないですがそんなに好きでもないですし、聞きたい時にでも聞けばよいので『聞かせたかった』と言われても『今は特に』としか言えませんが............。 「怒ったか? でもこいつら道具であって人じゃねぇから、何しても許されるんだよなぁ......」 「......無駄口はその辺にしておけ、お前も街の混乱は聞こえているだろう? ささっとこの娘を始末してから領主のもとへ向かうぞ」 「えぇ?! それはねぇよ! 近年稀に見る上玉だぜ?! こいつの歪んだ表情を見ねぇと――――」 ............めっちゃ隙だらけなので足元に《突風》を掛けてから一気に加速しそのまま首を突きます。 「おぉっと?! 中々にやるじゃねぇか! 」 「......警戒しろ」 ふむ、お喋りの方は大きめの鉈に無口の方はハルバードですね。投擲も織り交ぜたのですが弾かれてしまいました。 「......まぁ、殺しますけど」 「やっぱりキレてんじゃねぇか! 」 さっきから何を勘違いしてるのか知りませんけど五月蝿いですね。そのままその口に短刀を突き込み、鉈で防ごうと上げたところで足を引っ掛けてから回し蹴りを腹に放ち、無口な方へ火薬玉を投擲します。 「っむ?! 」 火薬の爆発に怯んだところで、さらにお喋り方へ追撃の振り下ろしを―――― 「ッオラァ?!! 」 ――――後ろ手で地面に着いたまま宙返りが如くつま先で手首を蹴られ阻まれましたので、瞬時にその場で短刀を上に放り投げ、手首の返しでそのまま足首を掴んで無口の方へ投擲します、もちろん火薬玉も忘れずに。 爆発し、盛大に巻き込まれますが直ぐに起き上がってきますね、あまり効きそうにありません。ついでに短刀もキャッチします。 「......真面目に強ぇじゃねぇか」 「だから言っただろう......」 騎士団長よりも全然弱いですが雑魚でもなさそうですね。............少しだけ、新薬の実験をしてみましょう。 そう決めると共に自身に小さな針でドーピングを施して、石畳を踏み砕く勢いで吶喊し、無口な方を井上さんのアシストと共に顎を真上に殴り付け砕く......その勢いのまま吹っ飛んでいくのを無視して、右脚を軸に半回転。お喋りな方の腕を切り飛ばそうとしますが............寸前で躱され、指が数本の戦果に留まる。 「ぐっ! 」 追撃に毒針を投擲しますがお喋りな方には弾かれてしまいましたね。未だ上を向いて吹っ飛んでいる最中の無口の方は見事に全弾ぶっ刺さりましたので良しとしましょう。 「て、てめぇ......よく見りゃ混沌に属してるくせして」 「? 混沌? ......あぁ」 恐らくカルマ値のことですかね? 確かに私のカルマ値は少し低いかも知れませんが......他のプレイヤーの数値も平均も知りませんのでわかりませんけど、マイナスなのは確かです。 「............お前さんはこっち側のはずだろ? 何をとち狂ってそっちにいやがる? 」 「? こっちの方が楽しそうだからですが? 」 なにが言いたいのでしょう? 混沌だとかどうとか、そんなの一切関係ありませんよ。ただ、私のしたいようにするだけです。 「だったらいいじゃねぇか、俺がこの道具共で遊ぼうがよ! 」 「はぁ......え、こんなバラバラで遊んでるつもりだったのですか? 」 本当に謎です、綺麗に解体しないとその後がないじゃないですか......。 「ハッ! それこそ変なことを聞くな? 腹が空けば飯を食う、眠たくなれば寝る、ムラムラしてきたら女を抱く......それと一緒だ! むしろ人じゃなくて道具で発散するだけいいってもんだろ?! 」 いや、そういうことが聞きたいわけでは............おや、無口の方が意識を取り戻して起き上がろうとしてますので、さらに毒針を投擲でプレゼントです。 「お前だって好きなはずだ、血が、臓物が辺りにぶち撒けられ当人の悲鳴を聞くのが! じゃなけりゃそこまで堕ちてねぇ! 」 血も別に嫌いではないですけど好きでもないです。むしろ被ったら不衛生なので、あんまりぶち撒けたくもないですね。 解体するのだって効率良く壊すための勉強ですからね、こんな後がない『遊び』方はちょっと............私って玩具は長持ちさせる方なんですよ。 「だからよ、お前さんも――――」 「その話まだ続きます? 」 話が大変つまらない......それこそユウさんのアニメのウンチクを聴いていた方が楽しいです。 なので無口な方へ毒針をさらに投擲しながら――――既に毒が効いてきて意識が混濁してるので必要ないかも知れませんが――――話がつまらない方へ突撃し短刀を振り下ろします。 「ぐぅっ!! 」 話が止まったのはいいですが、まだ何か言いたげですね? もう付き合ってられないので終わりにします。 相手の踏み込み先にこちらが先に踏み込み一気に距離を詰め、短刀の柄で人中を穿ち、前歯が折れるのを見て今度は鼻を殴り折り、後方に倒れかかるのを回り込み腰を蹴り上げ、背中側にくの字になる相手が吹っ飛ぶのを腕を掴んで阻止。そのまま短刀を振り下ろして、四肢を切り落とし達磨にします。 「ガァァァァアアアァァアァア!!!!!!!!!」 この男性はお喋りですし、会話が噛み合いませんし、話もつまらないですし、この方の大好きな悲鳴も汚いですし良いところがありませんでしたね.....................。 毒針の毒によって顔中の穴から血を噴き出してる無口な方の方が面白かったです............あっ、今死んじゃいましたね? まぁ、毒の効力が確認できたので良しとしましょう。 「お、お前ェェェエエエエ!!!!!」 とりあえず、彼らは見せしめをしてたらしいですから晒し者にしましょうかね? 無口な方だった物は腕と脚を付け替えるだけでかなり無様になりましたね。 「あぁぁぁぁぁぁああ!! こんなことしてただ済むと思ってんのか?!! 」 「............ちょっと騒がしいですね、これでも飲んでてください」 「なにすっ!? やめ――――――――ガプッ?!!」 あんまりにも五月蝿いので、口に容器を突っ込み中の毒を流し込んで喉を焼き、声を奪っておきましょう。 「――――っ! ――――っ!! 」 静かになったので作業再開です。まずは傷口に劣悪品のポーションをかけて止血だけしておき、服を裂きます。そのまま身体を押して俯かせましょう。 「............あなたはもう私の物、玩具ですからね? 」 こちらを怯えた目で見てくる彼の背中に、彼自身が言う道具の証――――奴隷の印だった物を、短刀に『火魔術』で火を付け焼入れていきます。 「――――」 ............あまりの痛みに気絶してしまったみたいです、これでは反応が楽しめませんね? 失敗してしまいました............。 「まぁ、この広場に放置しておけば自然と人目につきますし良いでしょう」 さて、私も領主舘を目指しますか!

Chapter 39 - Krebskulm Liberation Front - Broken Army (Part 2) I ran toward the town square. "Stop!" "You bastard!" ... I suppose it was because it was in the middle of the town, but everyone seemed to be equipped with spears here. Not that I cared... "Hmph!" I cut off the head of the first soldier that blocked my path, before grabbing the next spear that thrust out towards me, pulling it back as I slashed the wielder's throat with my sword. "Buegh!" I was able to cut out specific pieces now in a short amount of time. It could just be me, but I seem to have improved greatly with handling weapons? "Damn!" I threw scraps of metal at their heads and throats when there was an opening, and jumped over the waterway and landed on the shoulders of the soldier on the opposite side, while stabbing his head with my shortsword. Then I jumped away and crushed the head of the next soldiers as I landed. Numerous spears would thrust towards me, but I dodged them while running on the walls of a house and throwing special explosives that burned even in water, into their midst. "Hey!" "Re-retreat!' I ignored the screams as I moved away, jumping from roof to roof... Don't worry, it wasn't enough gunpowder to kill. In fact, wounding instead of killing was a good way to chip away at the enemy's resources. It's the basics of warfare. But more importantly, the slaves weren't watching, so it was time to cut down the residents who got in my way and make my way to the town square. And then I arrived... "...Hey, I've been waiting for you, Ronove... Who are you?" Hmm? This must be the bodyguard that Sage Ron was talking about. And there is someone standing next to him. He did say something about how they planned to teach us a lesson today. Bodies of decapitated people with the mark on their left cheek were scattered all around them. "...Are you curious about them?" "...Yes, I am." What was with this careless way of cutting? The most you could do was make balls out of them now. You have to cut neatly, into large blocks... "Sorry, they're all dead, you know? Of course, by my own hand. I wish you could have heard it too! While you aren't Ronove, their screams..." It wasn't like I hated hearing people scream, but I didn't exactly like it either. You can just listen to it when you want to. And so when he said that he wished I could have heard it, I could say nothing but 'I don't really feel like it now...' "Are you angry? But these are tools and not humans. So I can do whatever I want..." "... I think that's enough idle chatter. Can't you hear the chaos in the town? Hurry up and kill this girl so we can go to the landlord." "What!? Don't be like that! It's not every day you face someone like this! I need to see her face as it twists in..." ... His legs were completely open to attacks as I activated <Gust> before accelerating all at once and thrusting my sword at his neck. "Woah!? Not bad at all!" "... Be careful." Hmm. The talkative one had a large hatchet, while the quiet one had a halberd. And while I had used projectiles in my attack as well, they were all blocked. "... Well, you're still going to die." "So you are angry!" I didn't know what he was rambling about, but it was very annoying. And so I lunged towards his mouth with my blade. Just as he tried to block it with his hatchet, I knocked over his legs and unleashed a roundhouse kick into his stomach. At the same time, I tossed a gunpowder ball towards the quiet one. "Huh!?" Just as the explosion staggered him, I swung down towards the talkative one in a follow up attack... "Aaaarghh!?" ... His hands were on the ground behind him as his foot came up, as if he were going to do a backflip. His toes slammed into my wrist, blocking the attack, and so I threw the shortsword up into the air instead. And then I grabbed his ankle and threw him towards the quiet one. Of course, I sent some gunpowder balls with him. There was an explosion, and while they were hit by it, they were back on their feet in an instant. It was not very effective at all, I thought, as I caught my blade. "... You really are a strong one." "That's what I've been telling you..." While they were much weaker than the knight captain, they weren't scrubs either... Perhaps I could experiment with some new medicine. Once I decided this, I injected myself with a dose from a small needle. Then I roared so loud that the stone pavement seemed like it would crack. And with Inoue's assistance, I slammed my fist into the silent one's jaw... smashing it. The impact caused him to go flying into the air, but I barely noticed as I rotated in a half circle while using my right foot as an axis. I wanted to cut off the talkative one's arm, but... he dodged me at the last moment, and all I got to take off was a few fingers. "Gguh!" I sent out some poison needles as a follow up attack, but the talkative one blocked them all. However, the quiet one, who was still in the air, had been hit by all of them, so I wasn't too disappointed. "Y-you bastard... and you even have the chaos affinity." "Chaos...? Ah." I suppose they were talking about the karma level? It was true that my karma was quite low... but then again, I didn't even know what the average was. However, mine was still below zero. "... Shouldn't you be on our side? What madness has caused you to be over there?" "Well, I suppose it's because this side looks like it would be more fun?" What was he going on about? Chaos this and chaos that. It has nothing to do with that. I am just doing as I please. "Then why does it matter to you how I play with my own toys!" "Hah... Wait, you were playing? While making this huge mess over here?" It really was a mystery to me. What could you do with them, if you decapitated them so badly...? "Ha! You do ask strange questions, don't you? People eat when they are hungry, and they sleep when they are sleepy. And they will bed a woman when they have the desire... it's the same thing!! If anything, shouldn't you be applauding me for taking it out on tools instead of real people!?" No, that wasn't what I was asking about... Oh, the quiet one has regained consciousness and is getting back up. I think I better send him some more poison needles. "You love it too. Blood. You love to scatter organs and hear the cries of your victims! Otherwise, you would not have fallen to this degree!" I didn't hate the sight of blood, but I didn't love it either. Most importantly, it wasn't very sanitary, and so it was better to avoid splattering it everywhere. Besides, decapitation was how I studied the most efficient way to destroy. This kind of 'playing' that was a dead end was just... I preferred toys that lasted long. "And so you should..." "How long is this going to take?" It was very boring... I would have more fun listening to Yuu talk about his extensive knowledge of anime. And so while I threw poison needles towards the silent one -well, it might have been unnecessary, as the previous needles were starting to take effect, and his consciousness was hazy- I thrust my sword at the boring one. "Gggaah!!" While he finally stopped talking, I could see that he still wanted to say something. However, I had had enough of it, and would end things here. I moved in before he could take another step, and smashed the handle of the sword into his mouth. When I saw his teeth shatter, I went in to break his nose with my fist. He started to fall back, I moved behind him and kicked upwards into his lower back. As his body bent in half and shot up into the air, I grabbed his arm in order to stop him. And without a second's pause, I swung down with my shortsword and cut off all four of his limbs. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" This man talked too much, and we were just not on the same wavelength. He was also boring, and for someone who liked screaming so much, his own scream was very disgusting. He had nothing going for him at all... At least the silent one had been amusing to me, that is, when he was bleeding from all the holes that the poison needles made in his face... Oh, was he already dead? Well, at least now I knew how effective the poison was. "Y-yoooooooooou!!!" In any case, since they were making an example of all these people, perhaps I should do the same to them? The silent one would look very unsightly if I just swapped out all of his limbs. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!! Do you think you're going to get away with this!?" "... You're being much too loud. Here, drink some of this." "What are you doing!? Stttooooppp------glug!!??!?" As he was starting to hurt my ears, I stuffed his mouth with a bottle of poison that quickly flowed down and burned his throat, robbing him of the ability to talk. "...! ...!!" Now that I had some peace and quiet, it was time to get back to work. First, I used some low grade potions to stop the wounds from bleeding, then I tore up the clothes and rolled them onto their faces. "... You are now my property. A toy. Alright?" As he looked at me with fear, I took what he said was proof that they were tools--the mark that was once a mark of slavery, and burned it into his back with my blade, which I had heated with fire magic. "..." ... Apparently, the pain had caused him to lose consciousness. I could no longer enjoy his reaction. What a failure... "Well, as long as he is kept here, someone will see him. So it's fine." Now, it was time to go to the landlord's house!

98.邂逅 そろそろ帝国軍も王都に到着するくらいですかね? 当初は一週間だと思っていたのですが、全然来ませんね......あれからユウさんの検証に付き合って準備していたら半月が過ぎてしまいましたし、そろそろ来ても良い頃だと思いますが。 「相変わらず王太子と第二王子は協力できないようですね」 ここからさらに面白くするにはどうするかと思案していると突然周囲の景色が暗いワインレッド一色になり、背後から幼い女の子の声が聞こえてきます。 「......」 さて、この状況どうしましょうかね? 神々はどうやらゲームの管理AIも兼務しているみたいですしさすがに殺せないでしょう、少なくとも神を殺すのに現時点のレベルやスキルではダメージすら通らないかも知れませんね。 『特にね、今回のはね、いいよね! 王国とね、もしかしたらね、帝国までね、混沌にね、染められるかもね!』 「......染める?」 『......すごいね! 君のね、カルマ値がね、マイナス三百をね、下回ってるね! ここまでね、低いね、人の子はね、何百年ぶりだろうね?!』 ......あ、本当ですね? 軍隊を壊滅させたりメイドさんを殺したり、王城を襲撃したり宣戦布告したりで忙しくて確認してませんでしたが確かに下回ってますね? 《新しく称号:純朴神の加護を獲得しました》 《新しく称号:汚濁斑の卑神の注目を獲得しました》 《新しく称号:超越者を獲得しました》 《新しく選択可能なクラスがあります》 《一定の条件を満たしたため進化が可能です》 《一定の条件を満たしたため従魔たちの進化が可能です》 ......おおう、なんかいっぱい通知が来ましたね? 混沌神に邂逅しただけでカルマ値は下がるのかとか本当に加護を貰ったとかは置いておいてなにやら気になるものが多いですね?

Chapter 98 - Chance Meeting There was something weird happening... The Empire's army should have already arrived at the capital by now. They shouldn't have taken any longer than a week to arrive, but half a month already passed and there were no signs of them yet. Me and Yuu spent that time preparing for our Verification, but still, their troops really should have arrived already. On the Kingdom's side things seem to be closer to expected though. Both princes are at odds with one another and can't cooperate. Moreover, the whole kingdom is in chaos with the princess' sudden war declaration. "That sounds fun!" Until I suddenly heard a little girl's voice from behind me. Moreover, the scenery completely changed to an empty dark red space, "Oh my! To suddenly stab me like that! You're really interesting, you know?" The girl giggled as I turned around and tried killing her... However, I was not only unable to hurt her, but was also held upside down by my leg. I tried cutting off the strange lump of meat that was holding me, but it refused to be damaged. Seems like I am outmatched right now, that's troublesome, "... Who are you?" I decided to ask. "... I see." I replied. It was bothersome to think that the gods are a type of AI that seems to be able to manage players as they see fit. And they don't seem to be killable to boot, though perhaps that's just an issue of my current level not being high enough. "Yes! It's been really fun! Especially now that you've decided to dye both the Kingdom and the Empire in chaos!" She told me... What a weird choice of words. "Dye?" I asked her while wondering what she meant. Is there some hidden element to the game that involves influence over an area for a given karmic faction? "Yes! You're increasing our territory!" She answered... Perhaps this is about some war between the gods on who has the larger control over the humans' lands... "I'm really looking forward to what you'll do next, you know? I can't wait to see which of those two you'll bring to ruins, perhaps both!?" She started laughing out loud, making a sweet and clean sound which was quite contrasting with her appearance, "And that's amazing! Your Karma is below -300 already! That's the first time in centuries that a human went this low!" She suddenly changed topics. It's that low already? Though I suppose I did destroy a battalion, killed the personal maid of the princess, attacked the royal castle, killed the king, kidnapped the princess and used her to declare war on the Empire... All those things definitely added up. <You acquired the "Blessed by the Naive Goddess" title> <You acquired the "Caught the Attention of the God of Corruption" title> <You acquired the "Transcendental" title> <New Classes are available for you> <As certain conditions were met, you may now evolve> <As certain conditions were met, your servants may now evolve> To think I'd lose Karma and get this many buffs at one from a single chance meeting with a Chaos Goddess... That was quite the fortunate.

さてと、レベル上げはこのくらいでいいですかね? 「では行ってきますね」 「ふぁい......」 挨拶をすると前歯のない店主が見送ってくれます。一度挨拶すら返さず目も合わせない日があったので、前歯抜いたんですよね。とても可哀想です。 さて、調薬スキルのレベル上げの途中に来たムーンライト・ファミリーの使いの方によると、ここの角を曲がって真っ直ぐ行った先にヤガン・ファミリーの本部があるらしいですね。 「あっと、すみません」 曲がり角で危うく人とぶつかるところでした。もうすぐ敵地ですし気を付けないといけませんね。 「待ちな嬢ちゃん、ここから先は一般人立ち入り禁止だ」 「そうなんですか? それは面倒臭いですね......」 うーん、どうしましょうね? サクッと殺っちゃいますか? 「どうしても通りたいってんなら......へへっ、わかるだろ? 」 「あ、もう面倒臭いので殺りましょう」 「あ? なんだ――――」 手始めに手足を切り落として達磨にします、そのまま騒がれる前に口に調薬スキルで作成した火薬玉を詰め込みます。 ポーションを掛けて止血もしておきましょう、途中で死なれては面白くありません。 「〜〜〜っ!? 」 身を捩って無駄な抵抗をする彼を担ぎ上げ、そのまま助走を付けてヤガン・ファミリー本部まで投擲スキルで投げ飛ばします。 そのまま彼は放物線を描いて飛んでいき―――― ドガッーーーーン!!! ――――建物の窓を突き破ったところで爆発四散しましたね、見れば蜂の巣をつついたような騒ぎです......当たり前ですね。 この混乱に乗じ強行突破します。後ろを振り返っていた門番2人の首を落として門を蹴破り、前庭を駆け抜け途中すれ違った人は――――さーちあんどですとろい、です。 「お邪魔しまーす」 玄関を火薬玉の投擲でぶち抜きそのまま突入、目の前に広がる光景は大きな階段があるエントランスホールのようですね? 色んなところからワラワラ人が湧いて出てきますが関係ありません。ムーンライト・ファミリーの人から渡された見取り図の通りにボス部屋目指して突き進みます。 「そこの女っ! 止まれ! 」 槍を突き込まれますがそれを半身になって躱し、むしろ槍を掴んで引き寄せます。 そのまま喉に刃を捩じ込み殺し、飛んできた矢の盾にします。 「死ねっ! 」 振るわれる長剣をクルリと躱し、手首を掴んで握り潰します。 相手が武器を手放したので、それを掴み上階にいる弓使いへ投擲、頭を貫きます。 そのまま隙だらけの元長剣使いの首を落として蹴り飛ばし、後方にいた魔術師にシュートです。 怯んだところで一気に接近し喉を掻き切ります。 「囲め! こいつただもんじゃねぇぞ! 」 「ムーンライトの手先か?! 」 あっているような? 違うような? まぁ返事の代わりに仲間の死体を投擲でプレゼントです。 避けるにしても迎撃するにしても一動作必要ですからね、その際に接近しておきます。 叫ぶ大男の口に短剣を突き入れ上顎から後頭部まで貫き、そのまま引き摺って盾にしつつ階段を駆け上がっていきます。 その際に大男が持っていた斧を投擲し、一番離れた所に居た女性――――恐らく神官職――――の頭をカチ割っておきます。 錯乱した弓使いたちが散発的に放ってくる矢を大男の死体で防ぎ、突っ込んでくる槍使いの股間を蹴り上げ前のめりになったところで人中を穿ち、倒れたところで頭を踏み砕き、同時に左右から挟み撃ちにせんと刃を降るってきた短剣使いたちの攻撃を跳ねて躱し、空中で大男の死体を弓使いへ投擲し、空いた両手を短剣使いの片方の肩に乗せ、持っていた短剣を横から首に差し込み、肩に乗せた手を軸に回転――――捻じ斬ります。 そのまま重力に引かれるように落下し、もう1人の短剣使いの頭に刃を差し込んで捻ってから抜きます。 「化け物......」 「イライラするんですよ......」 彼らではもう『遊び』ません、殺します。 硬直した1人の目に指を突き入れ脳まで穿ちます、そのまま床に叩きつけ潰しておきましょう。 「に、逃げろぉ! 」 「わぁっ!! 」 「逃がしませんよ」 三田さんの光魔術の《聖壁》で退路を塞ぎ、影山さん達の闇魔術の《影縫い》で足を縫い止め、麻布さんの風魔術の《風刃》で喉を裂いて、私が山田さん――短剣――を振るい敵を殲滅していく。 数分もする頃にはエントランスホールには肉塊と鉄の臭いがする液体しかありません。 「......さっさと済ませてしまいますか」 用が済んだのでその場を後にし、このファミリーのボスが居るであろう部屋へ向かいます。

Now then, this should be good enough, yes? Rena: "Now then, I'll be going now." Shopkeeper: "Yesh..." The shopkeeper who has no front teeth left, saw me off when I said my greetings. He's very pitiful to look at, indeed. Now then, according to the messenger from Moonlight Family who I happened to meet when I was in the middle of raising my level, it seems that the headquarters of Yagan Family is through this corner right over here. Rena: "Ah, I'm sorry." I almost collided with a person at the corner. It will be an enemy area shortly, so I have to be careful. Thug: "Wait, little missy, the area ahead is off limits for ordinary people." Rena: "Is that so? That's troublesome, indeed..." Hmmm, what should I do now? Shoud I kill him quickly? Thug: "If you really want to pass then... hehe, you know it, right?" Rena: "Ah, it's already troublesome to begin with, so let's kill him." Thug: "Aah? What---" First, I cut off his limbs and turned him into a daruma doll. And then, I jammed explosive balls that I have created using Medicine skill, into his mouth before he makes any noise. Let's use a potion to stop the bleeding as it's not interesting if he died along the way. Thug: "~~~!?" I lifted him up by twisting his body to a certain position so he cannot do any useless resistances. Thereafter, I did an approach run and threw him away with my Throwing skill to Yagan Family's Headquarters. He soared as if he was drawing a parabola--- *Dogannn!!!* ------ broke through the window and exploded. It looks just like disturbing a beehive... I took advantage of this confusion and broke through. I decapitated the two gatekeepers who were turning their head, kicked the gate and ran through the people who passed by me at the front yard---It's Search and Destroy. Rena: "Sorry for intruding~" I made a hole on the entrance by throwing an explosive ball and rushed inside. What lies beyond my sight was a large staircase that looks as if this is an entrance hall. A lot of various people have appeared from many places, but that doesn't matter to me. I will go to the boss room according to the floor plan that was given by the Moonlight Family. Enemy A: "This girl! Stop!" I was surrounded by some spears but I avoided all of it, or rather I grabbed one of the spear and pulled it towards me. I shoved my blade into his throat as it is, killed him, and use him as a shield for the flying arrows. Enemy Swordsman: "Diee!!" I turned around to evade the long sword, grabbed his wrist and smash it. Since my opponent dropped his weapon, I took it and threw it to the archer on the upper floor. The sword then pierced the archer's head. After that, I decapitated the previous swordsman who was full of openings and kicked his head towards the magician who is at the back. I approached him at once while he was faltering and sliced his throat. Enemy B: "Surround her! She's not an ordinary girl!" Enemy C: "Are you Moonlight's pawn?!" Is that correct? or is that false? Well, I will just give them a present by throwing their comrade's corpses instead of a reply. Even if they try to avoid or intercept it, they still need to move, yes? Hence, I kept approaching them while doing so. I pierced my dagger into the screaming large man's mouth from his upper jaw into the back of his head, and ran up the stairs while carrying him as a shield. On the same time, I threw the axe that the large man once had, and the head of the woman who is at the farthest place---and might be a priest class---was cut in half. I then crushed his head when he fell down and jumped to evade the pincer attack from the dagger users at the same time. I threw the large man's corpse to the archer while in mid air and used the both of my freed hands to ride on the dagger user's shoulder. I inserted my dagger into his neck from the side, rotated my hand that was grabbing his shoulder and---beheaded him. While I was falling to the ground due to gravity, I also inserted my blade into the head of another dagger user as well, twisted it and then pulled it out. Enemy D: "...a monster......" Rena: "I'm annoyed now..." I don't want to {Play} with them anymore so I will just kill them. I pierced the stiffened individual's eyes through his brain with my fingers. While I'm at it, let's slam him against the floor and crush his head as well. Enemy F: "R-run away!!" Enemy G: "WAAAH!!" Rena: "I won't let you escape, you know?" I closed their escape path with Santa-san's light magic, <<Holy Wall>> , weaved their feet with Kageyama-san and the other's shadow magic, <<Shadow Weave>> , sliced their throat with Azabu-san's wind magic, <<Wind Blade>> , swung Yamada-san---as a dagger---and annihilated my enemies. A few minutes later, the entrance hall was smeared with only liquid that smells like a lump of meat and iron. Rena: "...Shall I finish this quickly?" My business here is over, thus I left the place and head towards the room where this Family's boss is.

「ふんっ! 」 「がぁっ?! 」 んん〜、これで粗方片付きましたかな? いきなり他のパーティーと出くわした時は思わず飛び膝蹴りを喰らわせてしまいました、これでは紳士失格ですね............。 「この変態強すぎ............」 「ふむぅ......秩序一位である吾輩はどれほどの間隔でマップに表示されるのか......それによって取れる戦略も変わってきますな? 」 そう独りごちていると、なにやらマップに反応があるようですな? 最初の全プレイヤーの居場所が表示されてからまだ一時間と経過されていないはずですが? これはもはや天啓でありましょうや、彼女とは初めてヤリ合いますがどれほど通じるのか? そして秩序のトップとして後続にその勇姿を見せつけねばなりますまい! 「ぬふっ! 彼女とヤリ合うと思うと吾輩の筋肉も脈動するというもの!! ............ぬん? 」 大胸筋をプルプル震わせていると、また新たなパーティーが目の前に現れましたな? 「げぇ?! へ、変態紳士?!! 」 この今から楽しみ過ぎて溢れ出るパッションを晴らすには丁度いい相手でありましょう。すぐ様にポージングを取りながら急速接近、前衛の一人である剣士の頭を自慢の拳でもって爆砕し、回し蹴りを神官に放って吹き飛ばす。 「じ、陣形を立て直せ! 」 鼻から息を出しながら槌に見立てた拳を振り下ろし、もう一人の剣士を釘のように地面にめり込ませる。 「冗談だろ?! 」 驚く魔術師の男性を標的に変え、地面に埋まった剣士の頭を足場にして跳躍。空中で一回転して踵落としを喰らわせる......その衝撃で、近くにいた軽装の弓使いも爆発四散してしまいましたな? 「おや? ここはツイておるようですぞ? 」 「お、俺はノンケだが......? 」 「あぁ......彼女とはどれほど楽しい蜜月が送れるのでしょう? 」 まったく腹立たしいわ! なによジェノサイダーちゃんって!! ベータ版の時から数少ない混沌勢力を引っ張ってきたのはこの私ブロッサムなんだから!! 「なんなのよあの女!! 」 たまに空に打ち上げながら森林エリアを目指して移動します。 いち、にぃ、さぁん............数十人はプレイヤーが追ってきていますね、そのまま森林エリアへと駆け抜けます。 狙われる理由としては、個人報酬目的と、他陣営に殺られてしまうぐらいなら自分たちの陣営のポイントとする方が良いという考えでしょう。 「まぁ、殺られるつもりはサラサラありませんが」 そのまま森林エリアへと突っ込み、木の幹を足場に壁キックの要領で駆け抜けながら油や発火性の高い薬品を撒いていきます。要所要所で《乾燥》の魔術も掛けておきましょう。 「お、追い付かねぇ! 」 「待ちやがれ! 」 「今さら逃げんじゃねぇよ! 」 「囲め! 数で押し切るぞ! 」 「今は陣営関係なく協力しろ! 」 ふむ? 水面下で取り決めでもあったのでしょうか? 倒すまで協力し合い、誰がトドメを刺しても文句なし......というような。 いつの間にかざっと見て三桁ぐらいに増えたプレイヤーを尻目に《突風》と一緒に一気に跳躍、そのまま《空蹴》スキルで駆け抜け遥か上空から《熱線》と《微風》を放ち、よく乾燥した薪などをばら撒きます。 「こいつ森で火を着けやがったぞ! 」 「何考えてんだよ! 街じゃねぇんだぞ?! 」 慌てて消火しようとする魔術師を投擲で上空から狙いやすい頭をぶち抜いて殺し、退避しようとする先へと鉄球を砲弾のようにして投げ飛ばして妨害すると共に火の手を広げ、鉄球に仕込んでいた毒気を撒き散らします。 「やべっ死ぬ! 」 騒ぐ彼らを尻目にそのまま火の手が広がりきる前に火災範囲から抜け出し、さらに燃料を撒き散らしながら森林エリアから抜け出します。 獲得ポイントの項目を見ると結構増えていますね......おや? 倒した人数もカウントされているのですか。それによると100人は一気に焼き殺したようですね、幸先が良いです。 「同じ手を使うのは悪手ですかね、次はどうやって殺しましょうか......」

"Hmm!" I shouted. "Gah?!" The enemy said as he collapsed. Was I too rough? As soon as I saw an enemy party, I ended up attacking them right away without thinking twice... To make such a surprise attack, I am a failure as a gentleman. "This pervert is too strong..." The last one of them commented... Well, I ended him too, since they'll all just respawn anyways. I wonder how often I appear in the minimap though, since I'm the highest ranked player in the Order faction, I must be there frequently. Will this force me to change strategies? And I also wondered if there was any change in the frequency with which you appeared in the minimap in case you were alone or in a party... Let's just check it out, though it's still been less than one hour since the minimap first displayed the position of all players, so I don't know if anything will show up. ... And she is close to my current position. Well, as the top ranked member of the Order faction, I must do something about her, while showing off my brave muscles to all the bystanders! ... When I think about getting close to her, my muscles just start pulsating naturally... Oh? While I flexed my muscles, a new party appeared in front of me... Let's greet them properly. "Gah! It's the Pervert Gentleman!" One of them said. I started giggling from the excitement. Then, taking on a brave pose, I proudly punched through their vanguard's swordsman, then used a roundhouse kick to blow away their healer. "We need to rebuild our formation!" Their leader said, but... He is too late. With careful rhythmic breathing, I quickly approached them and swung my fist, which is as strong as a mallet, against the head of a swordsman, burying him deep into the ground. "You must be kidding me!" Their mage said. Making use of the surprise, I jumped forward while using the buried swordsman as a foothold. Then, making a twist mid-air, I dropped a heel kick into the mage, which created a beautiful explosion. Its impact was so incredible that it also defeated a nearby archer instantly. "Oh my, aren't you going a little crazy over there?" I said while quickly approaching their leader, using the buried swordsman as a foothold again. "Please don't...?" He begged. Ah, I wonder how fun things will be once I meet up with Rena. Could we even enter a honeymoon perhaps? I couldn't stop shaking my muscles from the excitement. This is so annoying! Just who is that Genocider!? I, Blossom, was the leader of the few players in the Chaos faction since the Beta, how dare she come and steal my top spot!? "Just who the hell is that woman!?" I shouted. While I moved through the forest, I occasionally threw more of those fireworks up in order to make sure I could be easily followed. I ended up attracting quite a lot of them... There are at least a few dozen players chasing me through the forest right now... Moreover, it seems like even players on the Chaos faction are after me. Though I guess it can't be helped with my Karma being this low. Even without the double points I must be well worth killing, especially because this would also deny the other party the opportunity of getting double points for my death. However, I have no intention of being killed. As I ran, I threw various types of oil and of highly flammable chemicals at the forest. I also used the <Dry> magic at a few key points, and then used some tree trunks as footholds for the <Sky Kick> skill, to get more distance from the pursuers. "Ah, I can't catch up!" One of them said. "Wait!" Another screamed. "Don't you run away now!" A third one complemented. "Surround her! Let's use our numbers to our advantage!" A fourth one shouted. "Let's cooperate regardless of faction!" A fifth one said. So they're really working together? I guess they'll keep fighting as a team until they defeat me, then they can just kill each other without regrets... It doesn't really matter though. By now, the players chasing me already reached the triple digits. It felt like a good point, so I used <Gust> to accelerate, and then <Sky Kick> to go high up in the air. Following that, <Heat Ray> at the trees I previously dried up, and <Breeze> to make the fire spread quickly. "She set the forest on fire!" Another seemed to be panicking. "What is she thinking!? This isn't a city, alright!?" I wondered why he thought I cared for that. By now I had already landed, so I rushed towards a mage that was trying to extinguish the fire, threw him high in the sky and murdered him with a few needles. Then, I threw some poisonous smoke bombs at those that were trying to run. Their explosions also helped spread the fire more quickly, which ended up serving double duty. "I'm gonna die!" A third one screamed. While they panicked, I quickly escaped the area before the fire reached me, though I made sure to scatter more fuel through the areas I passed, just in case any of them was trying to follow me. And then... I guess I earned quite a few points from this? And my kill count from the event went up by more than a hundred due to this fire. Seems like this was a good idea after all. It wouldn't be fun to use the same method again though, I wonder how should I 'play' with the next group that comes after me...

ゲームにログインし、何やら疲れた様子のエレンさんを労わってあげた後に指定の待ち合わせ場所に来てみれば争う声が聞こえます。 その場で『遠見』スキルを発動してみれば......あれはマリアさんとブロッサムさんですね。 第二回公式イベントの際にはお互いに協力し合って私を楽しませてくれたと思いますが。 「あっ! レーナさん!」 「あら、ちゃんと来たのね」 マリアさんは私の声に『味方が来た!』とでも言い出しそうな表情で顔を輝かせ、ブロッサムさんは意外なものを見たという顔をしてますね。 公式イベントの時はたまたまであって、意外とこの二人は相性が悪いのでしょうか? 「この子ったら、私と話してる途中でいきなり他の男性プレイヤーを跪かせて顔を蹴ったんですよ?!」 「下僕が手柄を立ててご褒美を強請ったからご主人様として応じてあげただけよ」 「これだけじゃないんですよ! 顔を蹴ったと思ったら他の男性プレイヤーをそのまま椅子にするし、かと思ったら次は女性プレイヤーに素足を舐めさせてるんですよ!」 「あーあ、女王様は下僕の管理も大変ねー」 「一旦椅子から降りてから言いなさいよ!」 「はぁはぁ......まさか聖母様だけでなく、ジェノサイダーとも気安く話せるとは......さすがはボクの女王様でふ!」 「誰が勝手に喋って良いと言ったの? 黙って椅子をしてなさい」 「はひぃ! ありがとうございますッ!!」 急に椅子が言葉を発したと思ったらブロッサムさんにお尻を乗馬鞭で叩かれ、歓喜の声を上げ始めます。 それを見てマリアさんは思わずといった様子で、スズメの様な声を出して私の後ろへと回り込みます。 「......ま、初心な聖母サマを揶揄うのはこのくらいにしましょうかね」 「それで? 貴女がちゃんと待ち合わせに来るなんて思わなかったわ」 「約束は守るものですので」 「......約束っていうか、一方的に押し付けただけの気もするけど......まぁいいわ」 現実のブロッサムさんとは似ても似つきませんし、今も本当に彼女が目の前に居る少女の正体なのか分かりません。 「そうよ? 目的は決まってないけど、一緒に『遊ぶ』のよ」 「ふ、ふ〜ん? へぇ〜? そ、そうなんだ〜?」 「......あらぁ〜? 聖母サマは気になる事でも?」 「あっ、私分かっちゃったぁ〜! 聖母サマってば、寂しいんでしょ? 自分だけ仲間はずれにされたと思って寂しいんでしょ?」 「は? そんな訳ないし、マジで、は?」 「誤魔化すの下手くそか」 確かにまだ小さかった私が公園に一人とり残されていると、母はいつも悲しそうな顔をしていましたね。 友人を大切にしなさいとも言っていましたし、ここはマリアさんも誘いましょうか。 「いいんですか?!」 「ブロッサムさんも良いですよね?」 今回はとても珍しい組み合わせでゲームを楽しむ事になりそうですね。 「精々私の前に立たない事ね?」 「アナタ小さくて見えないのよ、私が躓いて転んだらどうしてくれるの?」 「アンタこそ精々気を付ける事ね?」 「似合わない背伸びをして転んで泣いても知らないわよ? まぁ、その時はまた慰めてあげなくもないけど?」 背伸びをして転ぶ......確かにブロッサムさんはヒールのあるブーツを履いていますし、その状態で背伸びをしたら確かに転んでしまうかも知れませんね。 何の目的があってかは知りませんが、ヒールのあるブーツで背伸びしながら歩いてる方の目の前にいきなり躍り出たら危ないと思います。 「それよりも行き先を決めても良いですか?」 「......構わないわ」 「実はですね、先ほど招待状が届いたんですよ」 「「招待状?」」 その手紙には『クレブスクルム紋』で蝋が押されていました。 「──どうやらベルゼンストック市で反乱が起きるようですよ?」 いやぁ、本当に楽しみになって来ましたね。

After logging into the game and talking a bit to Eren, who seemed to be really tired, I went to the designated meeting spot. However, I heard two people quarrelling there. After using a hearing-related skill though, I realized that the people in question were Maria and Blossom. It was quite fun to 'play' with them on the last event, so I wonder if they're doing something entertaining this time around. "Oh, Rena!" Maria exclaimed. "You actually came." Blossom seemed to be a bit surprised. "My ally is now here!" Maria then exclaimed. Ally? But they seemed to get along so well during the last event... Could they perchance be incompatible? "Listen, Rena! This girl is made a male player kneel down in front of her, then kicked his face while she talked to me!" Maria exclaimed. "My servant just did me a favor, then asked for a reward, so I granted it accordingly." Blossom replied. "Not only that, but she also used another male player as a chair, and asked a female player to lick her bare feet!" Maria then exclaimed. "Ah, the Queen has too many servants to please." The man that was on all fours, and that Blossom was sitting on top of, said. "Don't say that while being a chair!" Maria exclaimed. "To think I can talk not only to the Saintess, but also to the Genocider... Thank you, Queen!" The chair man exclaimed. "Who said you had the right to speak? Act like a proper chair." Blossom ordered the man. "Yes, thank you!" The man exclaimed. Then, Blossom hit his behind with a whip, and the man wept with joy. Meanwhile, Maria was screaming in disbelief. "Well, that's enough. We already ridiculed the Saintess plenty." As Blossom said that, she clapped her hands twice and got up from her chair. "Anyways, I didn't think you'd actually come here to meet me." Blossom said. "I do keep my promises." I told her. "... Rather than a promise, I just pushed this onto you, but... Oh well." Blossom replied. She hardly felt the same as the girl that gave me the invitation letter, so I can't help wondering if they're actually the same person... However, mom did say that I should always keep my promises, especially if I was going to meet up with someone, so it was important to come. "We didn't decide on what exactly we are going to do, but we'll 'play' together." Blossom told her. "Uhn... Eh? I... See?" Maria seemed to be troubled. "My my, just what is making the Saintess so anxious?" Blossom asked her. "Oh, I get it. The Saintess is lonely because she thinks she'll be the only one left out." Blossom said. "Hah!? That's not it at all! No way!" Maria exclaimed. "Lying is bad, you know?" Blossom told her. I do remember that, when I was small, and often ended up being left alone in the park, mom always seemed to be very sad. Also, she did say that I should take good care of my friends, so... "If you're okay with it, you can 'play' with us too, Maria." I told her. "Eh? Is it alright?" Maria asked me. "You're okay with it, aren't you, Blossom?" I asked. Seems like I'll be able to enjoy the game with a rare combination of people this time. They do seem to have a very good relationship, so we'll probably have no problems. "Though don't stand in front of me, okay?" Blossom told Maria. "Because you're way too small. What if I end up not seeing you? I might trip on your head and fall." Blossom replied. "Aren't you the one that should be careful though?" Maria asked her. "Because if you fall down and cry, then I might need to start comforting you again, of course." Maria replied. Well, Blossom is wearing high heels, so it's not impossible for her to lose her balance and fall. They both went silent at my reply. I can't imagine why someone would jump in front of someone wearing high heels, but it's definitely a dangerous action. "In any case, do you mind if I decide where to go?" I asked them. "I don't mind it." Blossom said. "I see... Well, I just received an invitation then." I told them. "Invitation?" They asked me in unison. It was a letter that Eren gave to me. He was quite grumpy at the time and... It had the Krebskulm Crest in it. "Seems like a rebellion will occur in Belzenstock." I told them. Well, I'm looking forward to it.

淡々と仲間たちの首を落とす彼女に空恐ろしいものを感じながら刃を振るう......しかしながらいくら一撃必殺の攻撃であっても均等化からは逃れられることはできない。首を落としても動く仲間たちに珍しく驚く彼女に少しばかり溜飲を下げる。 「仲間ではなく自分を回復しているところを見るに......HPの共有でもしているんでしょうか?」 「......仕方ない、最後の手段だ」 「......わかりました、先に神殿で待ってます」 あのハンネスたちですら中々名前を覚えてもらえて無かったし、彼女に認知されるのは酷く困難だからこれは本心だ......それにプレイヤーで彼女に勝てたのは僕が初めてじゃ── 《レベルが上がりました》 《従魔たちのレベルが上がりました》 《新しく三次元機動スキルを獲得しました》 《新しくふんばりスキルを獲得しました》 《新しく称号:動乱を獲得しました》 《新しく称号:パンデミックを獲得しました》 「......自分よりもカルマ値が低い方に会ったことないのでイマイチ実感がありませんね?」 そんなに怖いものなのだろうかと考えながら『偽装』スキルを再発動してから王都を出ます。......今日はもうログアウトですね。

"Oh, did we surprise you?" I told her as she continued her slaughter. Even though her attacks are usually able to one-shot us, we're surviving them due to the shared damage. It's a bit weird to put our heads back in place after a beheading though. "And you're using healing skills on your own selves instead of trying to heal your damaged allies... I guess you're sharing HP?" She totally got us... "It is indeed..." Especially because our status are shared right now, so the poison will stack up really quickly on us all, "Seems like we have no choice. Our last resort, let's go!" I told them. "Alright, we'll be waiting at the temple!" My friend shook my hand and got ready for it. We won't be able to win an endurance battle, so we'll have to defeat her with an unparalleled speed and a superb firepower that not even her can endure. It's risky, but we'll have to do it! "It's an honor." I replied... To think I would be the first to beat the Genocider...! She's even going to remember her name! Even Hannes took way longer to be remembered! <Your Level has increased> <The Level of your servants has risen> <You acquired a new Mobility skill> <You acquired a new Endurance skill> <New Title: Personified Chaos> <New Title: Living Pandemic> Oh, the camouflage is off... No wonder they can't move properly. Though coming to think about it, the princess was still able to glare at me even when I'm like this... Isn't that pretty impressive? I never met anyone with a higher Raw Karma Value than mine, so I don't really know how it feels, but I think it's not easy for NPCs to... Oh, right, Karma differences don't affect players, I wouldn't be able to know how it feels anyways. In any case, I left the region and activated the camouflage again afterwards. And once we got back to the mansion, I logged out.

ポン子さんから伝わってくる悲哀を伴った驚愕の感情と、他の従魔達からの『信じられない......』という念話が少々煩わしいですね。 そのまま海へと落ちていったポン子さんを、予め括り付けておいた糸を手繰り寄せる事で引き上げます。 「ちょっと、人のすぐ近くで大声を出さないでよ」 「じゃーん! どうですか? 似合いますか?」 「お二人共よくお似合いですよ」 マリアさんは紺色のハイネックビキニの上から白のラッシュガードを羽織っているようですね......彼女の白髪のサイドテールが紺色の水着と、微妙に色合いの違うラッシュガードによく映えます。 「ふふん! レーナさんも本当によく似合ってますよ!」 「そうですか? それは良かったです」 「これですか? これは海中での攻防手段の一つです。......そちらは大丈夫ですか?」 「ふーん......ま、私の鎌は槍の派生だし魔術も氷がメインだからコッチは特に問題はないわよ」 確かマリアさんはほぼ完全な後衛職でしたね。 攻撃や防御は私やブロッサムさんが担うとして、彼女には回復や支援を中心として頑張って貰いましょう。 「い、いざとなったら敵の近くで炎を出して水蒸気爆発を起こせますから!」 「......野次馬が増えてきたし、そろそろ行くわよ」 ブロッサムさんの言葉を聞いてチラッと後ろを確認してみますが......本当に多くのプレイヤー達が集まっているようですね。

I attached a thread to Jun, then threw it under the water. The other servants seemed to be pitying Jun a lot, which was a bit bothersome... Nonetheless, I pulled Jun up with the thread and checked the result. Not only did Harpoon-Jun hit a fish with the throw, but it also didn't seem to lose HP from being thrown underwater. I guess my weapon won't be damaged by the sea water if it's spear-like. "Don't yell when you're right next to someone..." Blossom grumbled. "So, how about it? Do I look good?" Maria asked me. "You both look good." I replied. Maria was using a white and blue swimsuit, while Blossom was wearing a black frilly one. Their choices suited them. "You look good too, Rena!" Maria told me. "Glad to hear it." I replied. "My tool for offensive and defensive underwater measures. Did you two prepare yourselves appropriately as well?" I asked them. "Scythes count as Spear-type weapons in KSO, and I mostly specialize in Ice Magic, so I should have no issues." Blossom replied. "Ah... You're right..." Maria seemed to be disappointed, but it can't be helped that her main offensive capabilities aren't ideal for an underwater dungeon. Guess me and Blossom will be responsible for attack and defense, while Maria will be our support. "I-I-I can also try making an explosion on an emergency! We probably won't be underwater the whole time inside the dungeon!" Maria exclaimed. "In any case, the number of bystanders is a bit too big right now, so we should get going." Blossom commented. "Three female top players are gathering together in swimsuits... It's not strange for word to spread fast, and for players to come see what we're up to." Blossom explained.

「し、知らねぇよ! いいから早く逃げるぞ! 」 マップにジェノサイダーが短い間隔で表示され、居場所が分かりやすい為に狙おうとしたのが間違いだった。初日に三桁に上る数のプレイヤーの反応がジェノサイダーを追ってからマップに表示されなくなったのを確認し、すぐ様引き返して逃げたというのに............間の悪い事にその後すぐに俺たちがマップに表示され、それに気付いたジェノサイダーがこっちに向かってきやがった!! 飛んでくる鉄球の中には、今みたいに爆発したり内部から破裂して破片を周囲に拡散したり毒ガスを噴き出したりと、普通じゃないヤバいやつまで混じってやがる。仲間やなんとなしに一緒に逃げている連中と時に蛇行し、時に跳躍しながら、どこまで逃げれば安全圏なのかも分からないままとにかく走っていく。 また脱落者が出やがった! 脱落者が出るということは自身に鉄球が飛んでくる確率が上がっていくということ......既に十人も残ってねぇ! そんな愚痴を内心でしているうちに、とうとう自分に鉄球が飛んできやがった!! 気合いと根性を込めて、『刀術・王』スキルの《疾風旋刀》でもはや砲弾と言っていい鉄球を真っ二つに斬る!! 最早俺は脱力しその場に蹲るしか無かった......見れば周りも似たような奴らが結構な割合で居やがる............。 ............こんなものですかね? 初日はそれこそ何もせずとも入れ食い状態だったのですが......もう既に私を狙っていたプレイヤーの大半が引き返して逃げるんですよね。なぜでしょう? 原因はわかりませんが、あっちから来ないのならこっちから行くまでです。 たった今マップに表示されたこの付近に居るプレイヤーですが、大分その数を減らしてますね? まぁ、今日一日ずっと移動しながら逃げていくプレイヤー目掛けて超遠距離から攻撃し続けてましたからね。 「残りは......北に一パーティに、東に二パーティ......南西に三人程度ですか」 南西に最後の鉄球を投げ飛ばした後すぐ様走り出し、北と東に超遠距離攻撃をしながら北東方面に向かって駆け抜けます。 「カルマ値が高いからって強いとは限りませんが、楽しみではありますね。弱くても最悪ポイントと思えば許せますし」 さてさて、どんな方たちなのでしょうか? 秩序一位の方は名前的に少し不安ですけどね............。

"I have no idea! Let's just get out of here!" Another of my companions said. We thought it would be a good idea to aim for the Genocider because she was displayed at the minimap often, but after over a hundred players that had moved in her direction disappeared, we quickly gave up and decided to run away instead... But then we were unlucky and were displayed in the map shortly after, and now the Genocider is after us! As I thought about that, an iron ball exploded right next to me. From inside it, various debris were spread everywhere, as well as a poisonous gas. I felt like a prey running from a merciless predator, desperately going from left to right when in truth there was nowhere to escape to. Two more dead... We only have ten people left out of the big group we had before... Ah! Incoming! While making full use of my <Sword Art - Master> skill, I activated the <Gale Sword> to cut the iron ball in half. "How about that-" I shouted. "She's crazy..." I muttered to no one in particular. Then I just laid down on the spot. Looking around, I could see that there were a fair bit of people in the same situation as me. And that's another one down. On the first day I had been able to find 'playmates' without even trying, but... Everyone that was coming for me started running for some reason. I have no idea why, but if they won't come for me, I'll have to go after them. Their numbers surely fell by a lot by now. Though I suppose it can't be helped when I have been sniping them all day-long while still moving forward. What's left are... One party to the north, two to the East and three people to the southwest. I guess I'll clean up those in the southwest and then head northeast. It's convenient for killing the remaining parties and also for clashing with the Rank #1 Order player and the Rank #2 Chaos player. Finishing up with the last few Iron Balls that I was throwing against the southwestern players, I started running northeast while sniping the players on the north and on the east. ... I hope 'playing' against the high rank players will be more fun than this. Being high ranked doesn't necessarily means they're strong, but I guess I'll at the very least earn a lot of points. Though I wonder what kind of people they are, I'm a bit uneasy about the name of the Rank #1 player of the Order faction for sure...

「──ぜぇや!」 大鎌による大振りの一撃をお見舞いしてやる......が、年増は地を這う様に伏せる事で避ける。 「まるでゴキブリ──いえ、フナムシね! みっともなくて貴女にお似合いよ!」 な笑みを浮かべ、愉悦を隠そうともせずに大鎌の石突から伸びた鎖分銅を振るい、醜いフナムシの様な姿勢の馬鹿女の眉間を狙って低空を這わせる。 私の罵倒を聞き、分かりやすく青筋を立てながらもフナムシは獣の様に四肢のバネによって後方へと退避する。 「誰がフナムシか?!」 「アハ、自覚があったから怒ってたと思ったのだけれど?」 「挑発に乗るな! 《アシッド・ストーム》!」 「弟に庇われちゃって可愛い♡」 腐臭を放ちながら高波の様に迫り来る汚水を『八寒魔術』の《アヴィス・ブリザード》で一気に凍らせ、そのまま大鎌を振りかぶって刃とは反対側の 同じく『八寒魔術』の《悪鬼凍土》によって自身が凍らせた物質を支配下に置き、自在に操る事で毒で出来た氷の礫を二人に向けて回転と加速を加えながら飛ばす。 「ほらほらほらァ!! 一発でも食らうと毒になるわよ!!」 「《浸透撃破》!」 フナムシ達の必死の抵抗が心地良いわね......奴らの背後にある街へと凍土を徐々に伸ばしていっているせいか、その対応に掛かりきりになる弟と上手く連携が取れてないのが滑稽だわ。 先ほどからジリジリと私の領域を伸ばし、同時にフナムシ女の肉を削いできた。 ある程度は回復されてしまうけれど、私の領域が彼らを包み込めばそれで終わりだから別に構わない。 「うふふ、どうするの? ねぇどうしちゃうの? 威勢が良かった割には全然ダメじゃない♡ 本当に可愛いわね♡ あっ、そこ触れちゃうと凍り付いちゃうわよ? って素直に振り向いたらダメよ? 凍り付いちゃうからって敵から目を逸らしちゃったらこうやって蹴られちゃうんだから♡」 「ぐっ、おのれぇ......」 ふふっ、最初に触れたせいで腕を一回切り落とすしかなくなったのがトラウマになっちゃったのかしら? いいわよ、もっと無様に成り果てなさい? その様をちゃんと見ててあげるから。 「足掻いちゃって可愛い♡ ──どうせアナタ達はメレダイヤになれはしないのに」 私というメインストーンの輝きを最大限まで引き立てる、小粒ながらに綺麗な石にはなれないのだからただ見苦しいだけ。 所詮は噛ませ犬止まりなのよ、アンタ達程度では私を相対的に魅せるだけで引き立てられないのよ。 「ほら、素直に這いつくばって見せなさい? 踏んづけてあげるから」 せめて私の半身に見せるお手本の為に踏まれなさい。 自身に刃向かう者を嘲笑い、詰り、痛めつけ、晒し、踏みにじる......なぜそれが出来るかって? 決まってるじゃない、自らの自尊心を守るためよ。 「くっ、もはや老師に加勢する為に出し惜しみしている場合じゃないぞ!」 「クソっ、こんな小娘に......!」 「あらやだ、今さら本気を出すの? ......私を前にして全力を出さないなんて失礼にも程があるわ。それは侮辱よ」 決めたわ、コイツらはここで完膚なきまでに潰す。 「生意気な口をッ!! 『肉体昇華・海獣化生』ッ!!」 「『精神昇華・海獣化生』」 「あらら、本当に醜くなっちゃって......」 まさか自らを化け物みたいな見た目にするとは思わなかったわね......まぁお似合いではあるけれど。 でも私みたいな美少女の相手がこれなのは画面映えしなくて残念だわ。 「海神の威光を思い知れッ!!」 「思い知ったところで貴女の魅力が上がる訳ではないわよ? ──『永久凍土・唯我独尊』」 ウツボとトカゲを足して二で割ったみたいな外見で迫り、伸びた爪を真っ直ぐに揃えての手刀を大鎌を回転させる事で弾く。 フナムシ女に隠れる様にして放たれる水弾などの魔術攻撃を凍らせる事で落とし、逆に吹雪を食らわせてやる。 「その年齢でそこまで堕ちているとは......もはや死でしか救えんな」 「当初思っていた以上に詰まらない男ね? まぁ私の誘いを断る時点でゴミ確定なんだけど──『肉体歌劇・美麗優美』」 左足で地面を思いっ切り踏み付け、そこを起点として一気に緋色の氷塊を出現させる事で二人の攻撃を同時に防ぎ、その直後に爆破させる。 爆発によって飛び散る氷片と一緒に前へと躍り出て、絶対零度の冷気を大鎌に纏わせて薙ぎ払う。 「がっ?!」 「『神気冒涜・傲慢女傑』」 モロに直撃を喰らって倒れ込む女と、女を突き抜けてそのまま飛来した冷気の斬撃に肩を切り裂かれ、そこから凍てつき始めた男を見て嘲笑する。 今さら本気を出したって遅いのよ、顔を合わせた時から既に私の冷気はアナタ達の体内を冷やし続けていたのだから。 身体が思う様に動かなくて当然よね? 「『神前宣告・ 種族:魔人 名前:ブロッサムLv.101《+30》 カルマ値:-394《極悪》 クラス:氷の女帝 セカンドクラス:トップスター サードクラス:悪鬼 唯我独尊《STR上昇:特大・INT上昇:特大・人類種に対する与ダメージ上昇:極大・秩序に属する者に対する与ダメージ上昇:極大》 美麗優美《INT上昇:特大・LUK上昇:特大・相手よりも魅力の値が高い時、全能力値上昇:大・全能力値上昇:大》 傲慢女傑《STR上昇:極大・INT上昇:極大・人型に対する与ダメージ上昇:極大・人型からの被ダメージ減少:極大》 神敵討滅《全ステータス上昇:小・カルマ値:善の敵に対する与ダメージ上昇:大・継続回復:中》 属性付与《攻撃に氷雪属性:極大・暗黒属性:極大》 強化付与《STR上昇:特大・VIT上昇:特大・AGI上昇:特大・INT上昇:特大・DEX上昇:特大》 強化付与《切断強化:大・打撃強化:大・命中率上昇:大・回避率上昇:大》 神前宣告:自由意志《STR上昇:極大・INT上昇:極大・人類種に対する与ダメージ:極大・自身よりもカルマ値が上であるほど与ダメージ上昇:極大・常時HP減少:3%/1s》 五秒間しか──いえ、五秒間も動けない彼らを見下すのが愉しくて仕方がない。 あーあ、蒼褪めちゃって無様ね。 ふふっ、何とか魔術によって生み出せた小さな盾も後ろの街に回さないといけないだなんて、本当に可哀想。 「気が付いた?」 地べたに這いつくばりながら咳き込む男に声を掛ける。 ボロボロで死にかけの身体を僅かに動かし、私の事を親の仇でも見るかの様に睨む様が心地好い。 「態度には気を付ける事ね、まだ死なせたくはないでしょ?」 「......っ?!」 氷で作った椅子に座りながら、フナムシ女の首を掴んで持ち上げる。 それだけで分かりやすく目の色を変えるんだから、面白くて仕方がないわね。 「いーい? 私は勝者で貴方は敗者なの、偉そうに登場しておいて何も良い所を見せないまま終わったゴミ虫なのよ」 「それでも姉の命くらいは助けたいでしょ?」 「......なに、が......望みだ......」 「クスクス、そうね? まずは足を舐めて貰おうかしら?」 「私ね、これでも貴方にフラれた事がショックだったのよ?」 反対の手で口元を隠して笑いながら足を突き出す。 それだけで男が苦渋に顔を歪めるのが愉しくて堪らない。 「舐めれば、良いのか......」 「えぇそうよ、恥もプライドもなく一度は振った女の足を......秩序の戦士として混沌の足を舐めるのよ」 「嫌ならこの女を殺すだけよ」 ゆっくりと、手で這いずりながら男の顔が私の足に近づいていく。 拳を握り締め、悔しさに顔を歪める彼の顔をじっと見詰める。 一瞬の逡巡の後、そのまま舌を伸ばして私の足を舐めようとする男の顔を──思いっ切り蹴飛ばしてやる。 「アハハハハ! 馬鹿ね! 話を聞いてなかったの?」 男の頭を勢いよく踏み付けながら笑い声を響かせる。 いつもこの瞬間が好きで好きで仕方がない。 「最初に誘いを掛けた時も言ったわよね? 触れる事は許さないって......それなのに一度は私の誘いを断り、無様に敗けた男が当初よりも優遇されるとでも思った? 本当にバカね?」 「ぐっ......」 「それに私、プライドのない男って大嫌いなのよね」 女の死体を投げ捨て、そのまま男の頭に乗せた足に力を込めていき── 「死んじゃえバーカ♥」

"--Hyaaah!" I went with a big sweep from my scythe... But that middle-aged woman threw herself to the floor in all fours to avoid my attack. "You're just like a cockroach... No, like a wharf roach!" Without even trying to hide my excitement, I shook the the chain at the butt end of the scythe with a sadistic smile on my face while aiming for the area between that stupid woman's eyebrows, where a vein was clearly visible. Hearing my insults, the wharf-roach jumped backwards using her four limbs as if they were spring-loaded. "Who's a wharf roach!?" "What's wrong? Are you mad 'cause you've realized you're nothing but a creepy crawly?" "Like your stupid taunting would work on me! [Acid Storm]!" "Look at you, trying to protect your little brother! You're so cute " I instantly froze that wave of acid waste that was unleashed upon me with [Avis Blizzard], one of the [Eight Cold Magic] spells, before crushing it with the blunt end of my scythe. But it didn't end there. I used yet another one of my [Eight Cold Magic] spells, [Demonic Frozen Earth], which allowed me to freely manipulate the frozen acid shards, as well as hurling them back at my attacker. "Watch out there! A single touch of those will get you poisoned!" "[Permeation Crush]!" Seeing that wharf roach's struggle is so pleasant... She can't even work well with her little brother, perhaps because they're too busy being worried about the frozen soil that's gradually spreading to the city behind them. Since some time ago, I've been gradually extending my territory while slashing at that blasted wharf roach. It's going to get restored to some extent, but as long as it's enough to surround them, that's good enough for me. "Hehehe, what are you going to do, huh? What are you going to do? At least you're not a complete waste of power Oh, you're so cute! You're wondering if it'll freeze you if you touch it, turning around so meekly, looking away from the enemy right in front of you... You're only going to get yourself a kick like this " "Gah, you bastard..." Hehe, I wonder if the fact that touching that a while ago caused her arm to fall off has left some trauma behind? If you want to be even more deformed, I can certainly help you with that. "Aw, you look so cute, flailing about like that Too bad you two aren't good enough to become melee diamonds." They would be simply too deformed to become beautiful small stones, which would bring out my own brilliance as a main stone to the maximum. After all, you're fighting a battle you can't win, and you're simply not fascinating enough to make me stand out. "C'mere, why don't you let me see you grovel so I can step on you?" At least let me see how it looks to have my foot over your crawling body. You're wondering how can I persistently mock, torture and humiliate someone like you by stepping on you like a bug? Don't you know? It's to protect my own pride. "Guh, now's not the time to sit here doing nothing! We have to help the old man!" "Shit, we're getting beat by this little girl...!" "What's that? You're going to get serious this late into the battle? ...How rude of you to not come at me with your full power from the start. It's a bit insulting, really." Well, now I've made up my mind. I'll flatten these bugs onto the ground with everything I've got. "You cheeky brat!! [Body Sublimation: Marine Form]!!" "[Mental Sublimation: Marine Form]"" "Oh, look at you now, you look dreadful..." I had never imagined that they would transform into such ugly monsters... Not that their new shapes don't seem appropriate for them, though. But it's still a shame that these ugly things are my opponents. It certainly doesn't make me look good. "You'll soon realize not to mess with the power of the sea god!!" "The only thing I realize is that you're making my eyes hurt... [Permafrost: Vainglory]" The thing that now looked like a mix between a moray eel and a lizard dashed at me with its claws, which I repelled with a quick flick of my scythe. As for that wharf roach woman, instead of freezing her water bullets, I'll just hit her with a snowstorm. "To be so wicked at such a young age... Nothing but death can save your rotten soul anymore." "Man, you're even more boring than what I thought when I first looked at you... But oh well, the moment you refused my invitation, you became nothing but trash to me... [Body Opera: Beautiful Grace]" I stomped the ground with my left foot, making a scarlet ice block rise in front of it, which blocked their attacks before exploding. The force of its explosion sent its icy shards forward, and the air of absolute zero released by it enveloped my scythe's blade as I mowed down with it. "What?!" "[Divine Blasphemy: Arrogant Heroine]" The woman collapsed after taking a direct hit from my attack, and the cold air that was as sharp as a thousand blades went through her and reached the man behind her as well, tearing both of his arms away. And I couldn't stop laughing at them. It's too late for them to get serious. My cold air had been tearing through them the moment I laid eyes upon them. No wonder you can't move your bodies as well as you want to, huh?

No, it's so fun to look down on them for five more seconds that I just have to. Oh, look at your disgusting pale faces. It's a real shame that you had to turn that small shield you managed to create with magic towards the city behind you. "Are you awake?" I called out to the man, who was crawling on the ground and coughing. He then turned his beaten, dying body around so that he could look me right in the eye. "What's with that attitude? Don't tell me you want her to die already?" "...?!" As I sat on a chair made of ice, I grabbed the wharf roach woman by her head and lifted her. I can't help being amused by how the look on the man's eyes changed the moment he saw that. "Do you get it now? I'm the winner and you're the loser, and even though you talked big, you're nothing but cockroaches that couldn't accomplish a single thing here." "You still want to save your sister's life, right?" "...What... What do you want..." "Hehe... Well? How about we start by having you lick my foot?" "You see, even though things may look this way, I was still shocked to see you giving me the cold shoulder." I hid my mouth behind my free hand and laughed as I stuck out one of my legs. Oh, the grimace on that man's face... It's so amusing! "You want me... To lick your foot...?" "That's right. Come now, warrior of Order. Don't be ashamed or proud now. Come lick the foot of a woman of Chaos which you once dared to reject..." "If you don't want to, that's fine. I'll just kill this woman instead." As he crawled with his hands, the man's face slowly approached my feet. I clenched my fist as I stared straight at the man's face, which was filled with regret. After some more crawling, his stretched out tongue got really close to my foot... And then I kicked his face. "Ahahahaha! You're so stupid! Didn't you hear a word I said earlier?" My laughter echoed as I kept on stomping on the man's head vigorously. This, this is the best part. I can't help the fact that this is what I always enjoy the most. "I told you this back when I first tried to seduce you, don't you remember? I said that I wouldn't let you touch me... Then you turned me away, and now you think you'll get better treatment from me than before? You really are stupid!" "Gah..." "And let me let you in on a secret: I despise men without pride." After tossing the woman's corpse aside, I placed my foot over the man's head and put all of my strength to it... "Just die, you idiot~"

Chapter 44.3 The vibe emitted by Ronove took a sudden change... I feel like I have seen this somewhere before... "<Body Enhancement - Storm Sea Dragon>" To prevent the same thing from happening again, I attacked with iron balls and poisonous needles with the <Boulder Throw> skills, <Meteor> and <Comet>, but he was somehow able to dodge them all, even if barely. "<Physical Revitalization - Meat Slicing and Bone Fracturing>" In that case, I'll get close up and wield the <Quadruple Flaming Slash>, but I was counter-attacked with the same skill... Could it be that? I couldn't harm him during the reinforcement process? "<High Enchantment - Sacred Ocean>" Anything beyond this would be too dangerous. A clergyman, not the captain of knights, might be able to get through him; a poison attack strategy is futile. "Hah!" The iron balls were set up with explosives, and I threw it with all my strength using the rock-bombarding skills and it flew off like a bomb- however, the opponent just punched it away; I didn't expect such strength... "<Oath - I am the hunter for evil heretics>" I struggled to inflict maximum damage... but it seemed useless so I had to resort to this... "<Oath - I am the leader of devout believers>" I was unable to hinder the opponent who has completed the reinforcement process...

Well, the opposite party started using prohibited moves first, so I guess it shouldn't matter? "... I guess I really have to kill you here right now!!!" The ground started to split apart and Ronove dashed over faster than the speed of sound; I could not react to that speed and just stood still. "What chaotic power... how many people have you sent to hell?" "... Hell? Does it even exist? I've never been there before so I can't speak for it..." Is there a world for the afterlife? I have never died before so I don't know. Why did he ask something that cannot be confirmed...? Perhaps Ronove knows about it...? Well, I personally hope it exists. I escaped Ronove's repeated fist punches. Each of his blows blew up the surroundings all the way to the forest behind me. After dodging one of them, I struck his elbow with my shortsword's pommel. "Damn it! Why do you have so much power, technique and skills while being so young?!!" "... I'm not sure why." I answered Ronove's questions in the midst of the continuous attacks and defence. I dodged the opposite party's kicks and tried to stab his neck, but it was deflected by his chin and a right straight punch came for me. I flipped my body in the air and grabbed his wrist with my right hand and placed my left hand on the back of his elbow; using the opponent's momentum, I threw him into the air. While he's in the air, he tried to land some punch at a fast speed, so fast I could not see it, and I immediately backed off to avoid it. "Why... You're the good person who saved the sisters, right? Was that anything that forced you to act this way?" Once again, we clashed with each other. I aimed for the neck with the shortsword and wielded it sideways, but it was struck down by his left hand, he then attacked me with the <Crimson Lotus Land> punch and pinned me down. At that moment, I answered his earlier question. "I helped the sisters because I couldn't found your base. By helping the kids, you would lower your guards, so I did that." While my wrist was being crushed, I used the force of fulcrum and hit his solar plexus with <Explosive Gust> which blew him off. "Gah!! ... <Exheel>! But you were having fun with them, weren't you?! Why have you fallen to such lowness?" "That's right-" While adjusting my posture in midair, the opposite party let me go... he did an axe kick with probably a skill, I crossed my arm and escaped to the side... There's a huge hole in the ground. "-If I really have to say, I probably did that because it seemed fun?" I threw an iron ball at him as he answered. "In the first place, I just followed my heart, so I find it difficult to answer if you ask me the reason why." "..." "Also, would you stop asking while we're 'playing'? We're killing each other after all." I actually wanted him to focus on 'playing', but he's been deviating from it since earlier? "... it's fine, I'll have no hesitation or guilt when it comes to killing you!!" Is he finally going to be serious? That makes me happy.

「どうせ同じダンジョンよ、また合流してやればいいわ」 頬に張り付いた髪を払い除けながら立ち上がり、周囲を見渡してみる。 「はぁ? なに? マリアが心配? ......あのロリガキなら別に放っておいたっていいわよ」 本当に情けない女ね......正義くんと小鞠ちゃんが同じゲームを始めてはしゃいじゃったのは良いけれど、それで私の居場所を半端に奪って失敗して、それで変に懐いちゃって......馬鹿じゃないの? ......半泣きで謝るくらいなら最初から突っかかって来ないでよね。 泣くくらいならこの仮想空間でしか存在できず、アンタと違って現実世界の肉体には干渉できない非対称な存在である私に少しは配慮して欲しいわ。 「は? 自分には無理だから? ......舐めた事を言ってんじゃないわよ、アンタは私だけあって綺麗なんだからもっとドーンと大きな胸を張ってれば良いのよ」 アンタが自分を卑下するって事は私を馬鹿にするって事と同じだからね? ......は? そんなつもりは無いなんて言い訳が通用する訳ないでしょ。 怖いとか言ってないで無駄に縁のでかい眼鏡は外してコンタクトに......あ、 カラコンでも良いわよ? そして真っ直ぐ背筋を伸ばすのよ、前を見るの。 そうすればおのずと同年代に比べて大きめな胸が少しは目立つ様になるわ。 「は? 可哀想? ......今さら良い子ちゃんぶってんじゃないわよ、アンタの理想が私って時点で取り繕ったって仕方ないでしょ?」 常に違う男を連れ込んでは娘の前だろうが致す母親を持った私って可哀想。 「そう思うだけの愚図がいっちょまえに救われた恩返しがしたいって言うから協力してあげてるのよ? 本人も少しは努力をしなさいな」 正義くんと小鞠ちゃんの実家のお金が目当ての打算ありきとは言え、母親が男を連れ込んで来なくなったお陰で安心して家のお風呂やトイレに行けて、夜眠れるようになったんでしょ? そんでもって、まるで独立した個人であるかの様に、自分を一人の人間として尊重してくれる他人と会話する楽しさを覚えちゃったんでしょ? 急に最高にいい女である私の様に成れなんて無理難題は言わないから。

"We're still in the same dungeon anyways, so we should reunite eventually." I muttered. I stood up and looked at my new surroundings after this forceful relocation, but... There doesn't seem to be anything in particular here, aside from one straight road ahead of me, "If I was the only one washed away, I'm gonna write a really long complaint to the devs..." I muttered to myself. "What do you mean? Worried about Maria? Just leave that brat alone." I muttered. Really now... She's way too pitiful. Even after deciding to help Seigi and Komari in-game, she decided to just go and take my place halfway through and then... Then she just went and started getting comforted by that small girl. ... And now she is crying and apologizing... That's not it. Don't apologize. I only exist in this virtual space, so I just want you to be a bit more mindful of that. Let me be myself on the only time I can be... For I cannot interfere with our physical body, or what happens in the real world... It's basically as if I'm an AI living inside my own body. Don't start getting embarrassed over our own actions! "Are you seriously complaining just about a bit of leg licking? Come on, it's fine. It only happened because you're beautiful. She admired you so much that she was willing to lick your legs." And now you're self-depreciating yourself, saying that there is no way I'm saying the truth...? As if I have any reason to lie to ourselves! I'm the best version of you, got that!? I'm not going to harm you! ... Don't say it's scary. You can do it. And also get rid of those big round glasses too. Get some contacts, or even colored contacts if you want extra style points. But more importantly than that. Straighten your back and start looking straight ahead. ... Worried about your breasts standing out? So what if they're bigger than average for our age? You don't need to hide the good qualities of your body! You'll just get more popular with boys once they see how beautiful you are anyways! I bet they'll regret looking down on you once they realize how much of a beauty you are. "What? Pitiable...? I'm not a good girl so I can't be your idea self? Then help yourself mend what your ideal should be. I can't help you otherwise." Besides... You're the one who thinks of yourself as the most pitiable person possible. Because of your mom who kept on bringing a new man home each night... Because of the times mom was hurt by those men... Because of the fear of those men attacking you when they were done with mom... And because of the time that the homeroom teacher of our elementary school sexually harassed us. "I'm cooperating because you want to give something back to them, right? They saved you once, so the minimum we can do is to put an effort to help them, right?" Because if it was not for the help of Seigi and Komari, we would still be openly bullied. And not only that, she finally stopped bringing men in... We can finally go to the toilet, bath, and sleep at home with a peace of mind... Sure, maybe that is because she wants to paint a good impression on Seigi and Komari. Maybe she is just after the money of their house. But so what? Doesn't it feel great to have found two wonderful friends that respect you as a person? That look at you as an individual? "You want to pay them back for all their help, don't you?" "And as always, feel free to be fascinated by the great model that is me." I said while giving a bewitching smile to no one in particular.

「......確かに彼女は色々とやらかし過ぎだし、チュートリアルおじさんを殺された恨みもある」 「なら話は早い! 俺と一緒なら疑われずに接近できますよ!」 「あぁ......変な真似はしないでね?」 「もちろんっすよ!」 周囲に転がるのも俺の部下ではなく、奴の部下......自分が最初から騙されていたと思ったのだろう、同士討ちをさせた俺をキツく睨み付ける。 「ほら、命までは取らねぇから誰の差し金か──」 出来れば諦めて帰って欲しいんだがなぁ......まぁ仕方ないか、この国はあのクソ女のせいで色んなところから恨みを買ってるしな......本当にどうしようもねぇ。 「......僕を怒らせたんだ、覚悟は良いね?」 「さぁ? これをこの狭い廊下で投げたらどうなると思う?」 俺が何をするつもりなのかを察した奴が目を見開く様を嘲笑しながら《回転》、《跳弾》、《加重》、《加速》、《影分身》を手に持つゴム玉にどんどん重ね掛けをしてから── 「......本当に僕を怒らせるのが得意みたいだねぇ!!」

"... Sure. She is way too wild, and I do still resent her for killing the tutorial uncle." Sumeragi replied. I dunno who is this tutorial uncle, but I guess it's his acquaintance? I wonder how many people have a grudge against her... "Then it's settled! You should be able to approach her easily if you're with me!" I exclaimed. "Okay, just... Don't do anything strange, alright?" He told me. "Of course!" Then, as soon as I got in position, I exclaimed, "<Dark Purple Grip>!" and crushed his crotch with my strength that is enhanced by the skill! He really thought that his subordinates had defeated mine once we had started fighting, but in fact his allies were all fighting one another all along! He totally fell for our trap! "Just who is going to regret it now!?" I asked him. "Or what? You scared of more ball play or something?!" I asked him back. I'd prefer if he just went home without a fight, but with this country getting more and more enemies due to that madwoman's actions, I doubt he'll give up this easily. "You have angered me. Prepare yourself." Sumeragi entered battle positions. "Playing with my toys!" I answered while showing him another of those bouncy balls, "How many do you think you can handle while moving through these narrow corridors?!" While laughing at his reaction, I used <Rotate>, <Ricochet>, <Heavy Blow>, <Accelerate> and <Shadow Double> on the balls. "You're really good at angering me!" He exclaimed.

「とりあえず壊したいのは君だから、ねっ!」 オイルでテッカテカになった変態紳士に一瞥をくれただけに留め、絶対不可侵領域はそのままかの変態を気にせずにレーナへと襲い掛かる。 自身の愛用する巨剣を『雷轟魔術』を伴い、一見して弱い少女にしか見えないレーナへとフルスイングして重い一撃を放つ。 「影山さん、伸ばして下さい」 それを受けてレーナは即座に炎の鎧を纏いながら跳躍し、絶対不可侵領域が愛用する巨剣の、肉片等が刃に張り付かない為に空いている穴へと影で伸ばした大太刀の刃を突き入れ、地面へと縫い付ける事で急停止させる。 その一連の二人の行動によってレーナの背後にあった空間へと稲光が破壊を撒き散らし、大太刀が巨剣を縫い止めた際の衝撃が周囲の建物を吹き飛ばす。 大太刀が突き刺さった地面を中心としてひび割れた地面からは高音の炎が吹き出し、無差別に人や物を焼き焦がしていく。 「放置プレイとはお二方も好きものですなぁ......吾輩、滾ってしまいますぞ!!」 そんな二人の背後では変態紳士がアブドミナルアンドサイ──腹筋と脚を全面に見せていくポーズ──をしながら、その自身の鋼の肉体を盾としてNPC達を庇う。 を生成する事で稲光を弾き、大地から吹き出した炎を鎮火させる。 その英雄的な行動と、彼から発せられる超越的な神聖な気配......数多居る渡り人の中で最高最善のカルマ値と『海神司祭』という称号を持つ者の善なるオーラにNPC達は自らの救世主をそこに見る。 「そうですか? ......そうかも知れませんね」 突き刺したままの大太刀の柄を支点として倒立から回転し、ムーンサルトの様に脚を振り下ろすレーナの攻撃を絶対不可侵領域は篭手の一部を変形させて造った盾でもって防ぐ。 そんな二人のぶつかり合った衝撃によって負傷者が出ない様に、変態紳士はモストマスキュラー──身体をやや前に倒しながら、首周りにある僧帽筋や肩、腕の太さをアピールしていくポーズ──を取りながら水の鞭を生み出し、NPC達を老若男女問わず自身の後ろへと下がらせる。 その行動はNPC達に取ってまさに英雄であり、数ヶ月前の惨劇の再現という悪夢から自分達を救ってくれる救世主でしかなかった。 「せっかくアロマオイルを被ったというのに、放置プレイを続行されるとは......吾輩、感じてしまいますぞ!!」 ──アロマオイルというところが小賢しい。 この男、変態紳士は男も女もイけるバイであり、攻めも受けもイける両刀使いでもあり......そして、数多の過激なプレイはだいたいOKという怪物である。 そんな男にとって現在のほぼ無視されるという二人の対応は、ただ自らを高めていくプレイにおけるスパイスの一つでしかなかった。 サイドチェスト──胸の厚みを横から見せていき、腕の太さや背中、脚、肩などの各部位の厚みも強調するポーズ──をしながら、変態紳士はどんどん昂っていく。 オイルによっていつも以上に黒光りし、どことなくアロマのフレグランスな香りが漂う変態紳士はただいま絶好調である。 「いける! 俺たち助かるぞ!」 「誰かは知らんが、あれだけの神聖なオーラ......秩序神が遣わした救世主に違いない!」 バックダブルバイセップス──身体をやや後ろに反らしながら、広背筋と脚を見せていくポーズ──を取る変態紳士の、その大きな背中を見てNPC達は歓喜に奮い立つ。 あれこそが自分達を救う為に秩序神が遣わした救世主に違いないと、あの男の大きな背中に隠れてさえいれば自分達は安全なんだと......そう根拠もなく確信が持てるのだ。 それ程までに現在の変態紳士はオイルを被っている事も相まって、彼らには光り輝いて見えた。 ──が、現実は非情である。 「『あぁ?! 救世主様ッ!!』」 そんな救世主に向け、悪辣卑劣な二体の悪魔が攻撃を加えたのだ。 視界の端でうろちょろと意味不明なポージングを続ける変態紳士を流石に見兼ねたらしい......この時ばかりはレーナと絶対不可侵領域の息はピッタリと合っていた。 獄炎を纏った大太刀の上段に、極雷を迸らせる巨剣の逆袈裟の二連撃......そんな攻撃を受けて我らが救世主は無事なのかと、NPC達の間から悲鳴が漏れる。 ──良かった、無事だ! そう、思ったのも束の間の事......煙が晴れた先に現れたのは頬を激しく上気させ、息を切らせながらフロントラットスプレッド──腰に手を当て、逆三角形の体型を形作っている上半身の筋肉を強調するポーズ──を取りながら絶頂に至った喘ぎ声を上げる変態紳士の姿ッ!! 感じ過ぎているのか、胸の頂きと股間の膨らみを酷く隆起させた彼はもう止まらないッ!! あまりにも酷すぎる絵面な為なのか、素面の、まだ理性が働いている内に変態紳士自身が設定した規制によって、プレイヤーやNPCを問わず彼の隆起した三ヶ所が光り輝いて見えるッ!! ──馬鹿めッ!! 完全に逆効果であったわッ!! 百と八つある紳士技の一つ──〝紳士トライアングル〟を間近で見てしまったNPC達の心情は如何程であろうか。 かの偉大なる紳士を救世主として信じ祈っていた者、彼なら無事だと謎の自信に満ち溢れていた者、悪魔の攻撃を受けた救世主の身をただ案じていた者......様々な者達の表情が一斉に固まってしまう。 希望に満ち溢れ、自然と上がっていた目尻や口角が重力に引かれる様に段々と下へと下がっていく様は正に〝悲惨〟の一言。 ──この時、彼らは自分達のヒーローが化け物になる瞬間を目撃したのだ。

"Well, that doesn't matter. You're the one I want to destroy!" Absolute Inviolable Area gave the Pervert Gentleman -whose body was completely gleaming with oil- a sidelong glance, and rushed on Rena without paying too much attention to him at all. After applying Lightning Magic to the giant sword he always brought with him, he unleashed a full swing at Rena, who at first glance looks like a young girl too frail to hope to withstand such a heavy blow. "Come on out, Kageyama." In response to that, Rena immediately jumped while clad in armor of flames. In order to prevent her opponent's giant sword from tearing into her flesh, an extra-long sword came out from the shadows of a hole that had appeared in front of her. This sword thrust its blade into the ground, blocking the incoming attack completely. Due to this series of actions, lightning bolts sparked causing widespread destruction behind Rena, and the shockwave generated by the clashing of her opponent's giant sword with her own extra-long sword wiped out the surrounding buildings. And huge flames erupted from the point in the now cracked ground her extra-long sword had dug itself into, scorching people and things indiscriminately. "Oh, so you're into ignoring others? You two are such a tease... It's getting me all excited!!" Behind them, the Pervert Gentleman was doing an Abdominal and Thigh posture while using his own muscular body, which looked as if it was made of steel, as a shield to protect the NPCs. Then, by generating an insulator, he managed to keep both the lightning and the flames that erupted from the ground at bay. His heroic actions, and the transcendental divine presence that he emanates... The NPCs were drawn to the Pervert Gentleman's powerful aura of good, since he was one of the people with the highest Karma value among the many migrants they had seen, and had been given the title of 'Sea God Priest'. They looked up to him as if he was their messiah. "Right? ...'Peculiar' might be one way to describe him." Rena then used her extra-large sword -which was still stuck to the ground- to flip herself upside down by supporting her weight doing a handstand on its hilt before launching herself in a kind of moonsault, which Absolutely Inviolable Area guarded against with a shield made by transforming a part of his gauntlet. In order to prevent anyone from being injured by the shockwaves generated by that clash, the Pervert Gentleman created a whip of water while switching his pose to a Most Muscular -A pose that emphasizes the thickness of the trapezius muscles around the neck, shoulders, and arms while leaning the body slightly forward-, and ensured that every NPCs, young and old, men and women, would all get behind him. For the NPCs, his actions were nothing but those of a hero, a savior who would spare them from the nightmare of having to relive the same tragedy that happened several months ago once more. "To think that you both continue to ignore me, even though I went through the trouble of putting on aromatic oil all over my body... I'm really feelin' it!" -His shrewdness had taken him to the point where he would happily go about with his entire body covered by aromatic oil. This man, the Pervert Gentleman, was not only bisexual, but was also into receiving as much as he was into giving. And what's more, he was perfectly fine engaging in practices that others might consider too extreme. For someone like him, the response -or rather, the lack of- he was getting from the other two, was only getting him more and more excited. As he switched to a Side Chest pose -a pose that emphasizes the thickness of the chest from the side and displays the volume of arms, back, legs, and shoulders- the Pervert Gentleman was getting more and more excited. Covered by a black luster and an intense fragrance thanks to the aromatic oil, the Pervert Gentleman was looking in great shape. "Yes! We're saved!" "I don't know who he is, but that sacred aura... He must be the savior sent by the God of Order!" Seeing the Pervert Gentleman's huge back as he shifted into a Back Double Biceps pose - a pose that shows off the lats and legs while bending the body slightly back-, the NPCs were getting excited with joy. Without any real basis, they were convinced that the muscular man standing before them had to be a savior sent by the God of Order to save them, and that they would be safe as long as they were hiding behind his huge back. And the fact that their would-be savior's body was shining brilliantly -although it was only due to the aromatic oil he had covered himself with- only intensified their excitement. -But reality is cruel. "Ah!? S-Savior!" Two vicious, foul demons had attacked their "savior." It seemed that they could no longer stand the sight of the Perverted Gentleman, who continued to pose incomprehensibly at the edge of their field of view... Rena and Absolute Inviolable Area seemed to be in perfect harmony. It was a combo attack of a giant sword that was completely covered in lightning on top of an extra-large sword engulfed in hellfire. The NPCs screamed in terror, wondering if their savior was safe after receiving such an attack. -Good, he's safe after all! Yes, it had been just a momentary fear, as after the smoke cleared, they could see the figure of the Pervert Gentleman, seemingly nearly out of breath and with his cheeks blushing intensely as he stood in a Front Lat Spread pose -a pose where he emphasizes the muscles of the upper body by putting his hands on his hips and expanding his back to the sides to create an inverted triangle body shape-, gasping as if he was about to climax! Both his nipples and his crotch were swelling so much that it would make anyone wonder if he wasn't feeling it a little too much! Due to regulations set by the Pervert Gentleman himself while he's still rational enough, no matter if those around him are players or NPCs, these three bulging sections of his body were shining brightly, perhaps because not doing so would be a little too much of an outrageous sight for everyone else to behold! -Dammit! It had the complete opposite effect! It was one of the Pervert Gentleman's 108 tricks... But how would the NPC's react once they saw the "Gentleman's Triangle" up close? Those who believed in and prayed to that great gentleman as their savior, those who were filled with a mysterious confidence that they would be safe, and those who had been worried about their savior's wellbeing after being attacked by those demons... all of them. The once expectant look on all of their faces turned to horror, all at the same time. The corners of their eyes and mouths, which had been kept upwards by their feelings of hope, gradually descended as if pulled by gravity, giving them a miserable look. -It was then that they witnessed the moment when their hero became a monster.

224.ベルゼンストック市その4 「うげっ、『ベルゼンストック市』ってここか......よりにもよってアンタ達とまたこの街に来るだなんて」 「大丈夫? 膝枕する?」 「うっさいわ!」 ......マリアさんと仲良くじゃれ合っているようなので大丈夫でしょう。 と、そんな事をしている内に私達の下へと真っ直ぐに向かって来る人物が居ますね。 「え、誰よコイツ」 「案内なんじゃない? 私もよく分からないけど」 戦乙女? ......あぁ、そういえばそんな呼ばれ方をしていましたね、完全に忘れていました。 訝しむ二人に問題がない事を告げ、そのまま彼の背中を追い掛けます。 「なに? アイツ戦乙女とか呼ばれてんの?」 「本当に何をしたのレーナさん......」 案内の男性が去ったのを確認してから無造作に小屋に入ると、狭い室内で熱心に祈りを捧げていたロン老師がゆっくりと振り返ります。 まず私に目を留め、それから背後のブロッサムさんとマリアさんへと視線を移し......と、マリアさんにとても注目している様ですね。 にも負けないくらいの秩序の申し子が何故このような混沌の化身......それも二人と行動しとる?」 「なるほどのぉ......友が下手な事をせんように付き添っておるのか」 へぇ、マリアさんってばそんな事を考えていたんですね......思えば私が害したNPCが即死でないのなら必ず癒していましたね。 「さて、本題に入るが──ワシはお主ら混沌の勢力に対して反旗を翻す事にした」 「いいんですか? 多くの血が流れますよ?」 てっきり無駄に信徒を殺させない為に指導者として私達に降る事を選んだのだと思いましたがね。 「えぇ、出来たら理由を教えて貰いたいものですね」 貴方の動機が分かれば弱点も判るでしょう。 ワールドクエスト:老司祭の反逆 依頼者:ロン老師 報酬:5レベル分のスキル含む経験値・1500万G・??? 注意:ワールドクエストはゲーム内のシナリオや今後に深く関わるクエストです。その成否に関わらず受け直す事も何度も受ける事も出来ません。 受注しますか? Yes / No ふむ、これは船の上で戦うという事では無さそうですね......とりあえずいつもの様に『Yes』を押して承諾します。 「ではワシらは先に行って待っとるぞ」 「ねぇ、アンタの彼氏なら何か分かるんじゃないの?」 「おや、マリアさん恋人が居たんですか」 それは初耳ですね......私には恋愛なんかはよく理解できませんが、一般的にはめでたい事や他者へと自慢できる事だったと記憶しています。 どうやらブロッサムさんの勘違いの様ですね。 しかし確かにユウさんなら行き方とか色々知ってそうではありますね。 「まぁ生娘なロリっ子に彼氏が居るはずもないわね」 とりあえずユウさんにメールを送りましょうか......詳しい事を知っていれば良いのですが。 「何だとロリガキ」 海中では糸もおそらく使いづらいでしょうし......なるほど、とても面白い催しをしてくれるじゃありませんか。 「現役女子高生の氷像かき氷とかどう? 面白そうじゃない?」 何度かユウさんとメールのやり取りをした結果、私達がやるべき事は決まりましたね。 「マリアさん、ブロッサムさん──水着を探しますよ」

Chapter 224: Belzenstock City - four "To think I'm coming back to Belzenstock... And with you two of all people." Blossom muttered once we arrived at the city. She seemed to be in a bad mood, though I can't say why. Does she have bad memories of this place? "Are you alright? Do you need a lap pillow?" Maria asked her. "Shut up!" Blossom exclaimed. Well, since she is playing with Maria, she should be fine. Then, while they bickered, a person came to greet us, "War Maiden, priest Ron is waiting. This way." then, he turned around and started walking. "Who is this guy?" Blossom asked. "A guide? I dunno..." Maria replied. War Maiden though...? Oh, right. They did refer to me like that over here. Let's not mind that and start following the guide. "By the way, why are you 'War Maiden'?" Blossom asked. "I wonder what you did here..." Maria mused. Nonetheless, we went inside, and were greeted by Ron, who was praying, "You've come... With some people at your side." He seemed to be a bit surprised by my companions... Especially by Maria, "You... Aren't you the priestess of the Sun God?" He asked her. "Why is such a good orderly child like you by the side of this incarnation of Chaos...?" The old man asked her. "I see... So you are accompanying your friend even as she is about to do something bad?" The old man asked her. I wonder... Would Maria heal the NPC if I didn't do enough damage to one-shot it? It could be a bit troublesome in that case, but... If this is how Maria wants to 'play', then I'll play along. "Well, let's get into the main subject then. I've decided to rebel against the Chaotic forces that have been ruling over us." The old man stated. "You okay with that? Even if a lot of blood end up being shed?" I asked him. After all, I thought that he had submitted in order to not have many believers end up dying... What could have made him change his mind? "Well, I guess I'd like to know the reason behind the rebellion." I told him honestly. Besides, if I know his motives, I might also get to know his weaknesses. World Quest: The Old Priest's Rebellion Client: Old Man Ron Rewards: 15 million G + enough experience for 5 levels + ??? Note: World Quests are deeply involved with the game's future. Regardless of success or failure, it cannot be taken again. Do you accept? Yes/No This doesn't seem like a quest related to fighting on a ship... Oh well, let's just press 'Yes' for now. It's probably just an underwater dungeon anyways. "Then, we'll go ahead and wait." Old man Ron said, then left the hut. "Hey, does your boyfriend know anything about this place?" Blossom then asked this to Maria. "Oh? Maria has a lover?" I asked. It's the first time I heard about it. I don't quite understand romance, but as far as I know, it's something happy that one may brag about to others. There seems to be a real difference in 'human power' between those that have a lover and those who don't, but... I don't quite understand it myself. Seems like Blossom had a misunderstanding then? I suppose that's that then. Nonetheless, Yuu does know a lot of things about the game, so it might be a good idea to ask him about the best way to handle this quest. "Well, I guess a shortie like you wouldn't be able to get a boyfriend after all." Blossom stated. Let's send a PM to Yuu with the details of the quest and ask what he thinks of it. "You what!?" Blossom exclaimed. It might also be hard to use the threads on the dungeon, so... Well, won't this be quite the interesting quest? "I think an ice sculpture of a grade schooler would look quite nice!" Blossom exclaimed. After exchanging a few more PMs with Yuu, I figured it was about time to get moving. "Maria, Blossom, I'll go look for a swimsuit." I told them.

Previous thread: http: // ********** After reaching >> 980, please create a new thread. What do you guys think about Maria and the others going diving into the sea? Three top players have just decided to get together, huh... They may have just gotten together to play but it still gives me the creeps... Yeah, does Genocider even play like everyone else? Alright! I'm gonna take a peek too! This could definitely be considered stalking, so... AH AH AH AH I'M S-S-SINKING!!!! Why did you dive into the sea while wearing metal armor... Be careful with metal equipment in water areas, especially in the sea, as it will cause a strong debuff Yeah~ I didn't knoooow Or you could think it like wearing a swimsuit actually gives you a buff Oh, so Genocider and the others were in swimsuits, right? They looked like perfectly-looking swimsuits to me... I thought it was going to be like one of those fanservice episodes, but nooo Why would people of flesh and blood have to give you any kind of fanservice? Wait until her boyfriend comes around NOOOO! Our Mother doesn't have a boyfriend! The Queen hasn't chosen any specific partner either. Would you please refrain from making such devious remarks? After I become Lady Rena's boyfriend, I only wish for her to toy with me and then throw me away along with her burnable trash But her level is high, too high... And we can't even dream about ever reaching them, can we...? Come with me next time, all of you!! Why does this pervert keep such a positive attitude Come with me he says lol Just ignore him lol No one's gonna go back you up on that one, you know? I'm getting tired of supporting you with this You could scream from the top of a mountain and I would still not listen to you lol By the way, if you equip bikini armor, you can get the same buff that you would get with a swimsuit even though it's technically made of metal So bikini armor does that...? Ok that has to be some kind of bad joke Well it's not necessarily a mistake Gotta love these crappy games, you always get to crack up at these kinds of nutjobs Well that's because the management is quite crappy too By the way, can a man be equipped with bikini armor? Can confirm I've seen a perverted gentleman wearing a set of bikini armor What is that person trying to do? Lol These threads never disappoint lol I pictured that perverted gentleman in my mind and it almost made me throw up You won't believe this, but he's even popular with the ladies His inner charm is way too high, enough to make up for the fact that he's wearing a bikini armor You can say that again... I'm a man and even I feel I'm about to fall for him... Uh... You know, nothing's stopping you from telling that perverted gentleman that you want to sleep with him, so you should just go for it... Wait! I'm sorry! This whole thing blew up all of a sudden?! Reminds me of something I've read about before... You mean Bikini Atoll...? What happened... Please explain for those of us who aren't familiar with that place No, but Rena, Maria, and Blossom had gathered there in swimsuits, so other players were drawn to the place because of the sheer unusualness of it all... Then, even after they dived into the sea and stayed there for a while having idle conversations and fishing, the sea actually exploded all of a sudden... I see... That's strange, so you're saying that there was an explosion in the water even though some time had passed after Genocider and the others dived into the sea... Ah, I see! Yes! I know who the true culprit is! Even an amateur can understand The culprit is -- To be continued next week! To be continued on the website! The shocking truth will be revealed right after these commercials! The culprit is Tsuki*** Housei Well, even if there's only circumstantial evidence about it, it seems that Genocider and the others weren't the only ones in the water Ah, but Genocider and the others in swimsuits were truly a sight for sore eyes... Yeah, I saw them Hahaha these guys have started to escape reality now lol I regret that I couldn't take a picture though But you can't even get close to them without permission, let alone taking a picture of them Unless you want to die I mean yeah, even getting close to Maria means getting past her two chaotic bodyguards There's no way to get close to them If you approach them carelessly, you're gonna die (for real) What are they, monsters or something? Cute monsters, that's what they are Oh, I'm dead But at least you'll go with a pleasant sight > 219 What are you doing lol She's like a dreadnought ship of a beautiful girl, there's no way you're getting anywhere near her I envy her great style... What? I had to step out for a moment, and when I came back, I was dead on the floor If you are too far from the actual body, you'll get a warning lol What? You were dead? What happened It's a bit unsettling, isn't it? Are you okay? Is Genocider around? Funny how we first think of Genocider when something like this happens lol The events in the starter city are already a legend, so what did you expect? Oh yeah, I'm dead too... or was I killed? It says "Killed by Red Crow"... So you had no chance to fight back? Looks like your attacker has a lot of skills that help him remain stealthy Whoa, that guy is strong! I hit him directly with one of my spells and his HP didn't even move an inch lol Yeah, the only ones who are writing here are either those who have already given up, or those who have already been killed. He's too strong What kind of skills does he have to not get damaged at all even after taking a direct hit from a spell? I don't know of any skill that can reduce damage or even completely avoid it like that... Maybe he has a new skill that no one else knows about? I know there's something called "Parry" or something like that... But I don't think a single one of us has eyes fast enough to use it properly... Even after asking the mage and archer of my party to help me with my training, I still can't pull off a proper "Parry" What a crappy game, with magic, unlike physical attacks, you have to aim for a tiny core, or it won't work... You'll need a high level of "Detection" or "Magic Vision". Anything else you can think of? Well, I don't know... While we're sitting here theorizing, the fact that he annihilated a whole bunch of people still remains It must have been more than fifty people... And he was saying stuff like "Yuu isn't here" lol Is he still looking for that guy...? Things are blowing out of proportion, aren't they? Lol Uh, I'm really sorry for bringing this up... It's not your fault, bro... Even though I'm something of a client (?) of his, he's killed me twice already And this client who has been killed twice is... Huh? Is that you, Maria? ...No way, Maria is here? Why are you here? What about the other two? Did Maria do that explosion? Lol What are you doing here? You can't be here! Run away, Maria~! What's the deal with this "Are you Yuu?" guy? Anyway, no matter how you look at it, Our Mother is awesome! It's so frustrating that we can't talk until we get revived Would someone go get this Yuu guy already! Come on, Yuu, your girlfriend is going to get attacked! Our Mother doesn't have a boyfriend You shut up now The only one who can save Our Mother from her sticky situation isn't even here OK, I understand Alright! The moment I respawn, I'll run away! Where was the last church I prayed at...? I'm sure Yuu's here reading and posting as well Anyway, I'm calling him out! Before long, the members of the verification team who are with him will notice! Our Mother, please take care of yourself... Mother... What is this surrealistic scene The unreliable assassin who can't find his target The Environmental Destruction Saintess 30-year-old babies who can't seem to be able to get their eyes off either of them! C'mon, place your bets! The presence of babies is a factor that makes it difficult to maintain the seriousness of this place... I'll give you some honey, so just go somewhere else Honey is not good for babies lol Oh but I want them to feel even more tense than ever lol That won't work on a baby I'm a baby alright

「紳士のくせに! 女子を殴るなんて!」 「? 女子という属性ではなく、貴女個人を見て判断していたのですが......そちらの方がお好みでしたかな?」 「8:2くらいで変態成分が勝ってますよ!」 正論! まさに正論! 変態紳士の格好を見て、どこに紳士要素を見出すというのか? むしろ2割程度の紳士要素を見出した蘭花はまさに、仏の如き慈悲深さであろう。 「『身体昇華・一寸長一寸強』」 に対する蘭花は、マリアの炎を身に纏いながら知覚領域を引き伸ばしていく......自分以外がゆっくりと動く空間内で薙刀を振るえば敵に当たり、敵の攻撃は容易く躱せる......攻撃を避けられたとしても、見えない刃が連なっているのか、獣の爪痕のような斬撃を相手に与える。 「『御仏憑依・風天』」 「『神気憑依・嵐海龍』」 「早く私を倒さねば、同盟国の援軍が来てしまいますぞ? この国は各方面に恨みを買っていますからなぁ!」 「そっちこそ! 早くマリアさんを助け出さないと、あのジェノサイダーさんが来てしまいますよ!」 「なんと! 彼女と再戦できるのであればこのまま時間稼ぎをするのも一興!」 まるで個人が災害か何かのような言い草ではあるが、確かにこの場にレーナが現れると本格的に収拾が付かなくなる......そこに他国の援軍が雪崩込むとなれば、もはや戦場を意図的にコントロールする事は叶わないだろう。 「......しかし今回は姫を助けるナイトの手助けが目的ですからなァ......また次の機会に致しましょう!」 チラりと横目で、はたから見たら大道芸にしか見えないユウとヒンヌー教祖の戦いを覗き見ながら変態紳士は脇下から拳を振り上げ、それを迎撃するべく頭上から振り下ろされた刃を、拳を握ったままの人差し指と中指で白刃取る。 「吾輩から紳士要素を抜いたら何が残ると言うのです!」 「助けに来てくれたの?」 「......不本意ながらね」 「......変態紳士とペアになったんだ?」 「ふふふ、こんな絶好の機会を私が逃すと思って?」 「......ちょっとブロッサム? その嗜虐的な笑みはなに? ゾクゾクして怖いんだけど?」 「あ、アンタあの時私の膝の上で泣いて──」 「泣いてない」 ──もう怒ったからね! 許さないんだからね! 泣いて謝っても膝枕してあげないんだから! 指先で私の顎をクイッとあげながら、間近で小馬鹿にするブロッサムに向かって頭突きを放つ。

"What gentleman ends up hitting girls!?" I exclaimed. "I think it's more important to judge people as individuals instead of by gender. Do you disagree?" He asked me as he unleashed his barrage of punches. "At most you're 20% gentleman! The other 80% are pure pervertedness!" I shouted back. "... I'm surprised you can see a 20% of gentlemaness on this guy." Maria commented. "<Body Sublimation: Unlimited Growth>!" The pervert exclaimed. The pervert then tried to draw closer to me, but I used the extra range of the naginata to keep him away, while Maria's flames blocked his ranged attacks. "<Buddha's Possession: Wind Heaven>!" I used one more buff. "<Divine Possession: Storming Water Dragon>!" The pervert used yet another buff. He was forced to jump back again to dodge that, but then he said, "If you don't hurry up and defeat me, more and more of my allies will come. This country has gathered grudges from all sorts of people!" "Yeah? But the Genocider will come soon if you don't hurry." I replied. "I don't particularly mind having an opportunity for a rematch against her!" The pervert exclaimed. ... I have to wonder how can he seriously say this kind of thing. With the Genocider and some more reinforcements from his side coming... This battlefield will go completely out of control. How can he look forward to that? "However, this time my purpose is to help the knight rescue the princess, so let's leave the rematch for another time!" The pervert exclaimed. At that moment, he glanced at the fight between Yuu and Hymn's Guru, so I used the opportunity to attack him with the Naginata. "What will be left of me if you remove the gentleman element!?" He exclaimed as he punched me away... Though I was able to keep hold of my naginata at least. "Blossom...?" I turned around and saw that she was behind me, "You came to help me?" "Reluctantly..." She replied. "... Did you get paired up with the perverted gentleman perchance?" I asked. "Huh? Don't wanna." She replied on the exact same way as last time... "I mean, this is a good opportunity, isn't it?" She gave me a very evil smile as she said that. "Why are you smiling like that!? It's scary!" I exclaimed. "Huh? Forgiveness!? You were the one that cried at my lap!" I replied. "I didn't cry." She lied. Oh, that's it! I won't forgive you even if you cry and apologize! And I won't give you a lap pillow again! I made use of the fact that she was too close to me, and headbutted her!

「ゆ、ユウ......?」 可愛い水着を着てお洒落をしたマリアがボロボロになっている......その小さな身体を、前髪を掴んで持ち上げるという乱暴な手段で抑え込まれている。 本当に何でこんな事態になっているのか意味が分からないし、人のプレイスタイルに口を出すつもりはないけどさ......自分の大事な物や推しを攻撃されるのって、オタクが一番嫌う行為なんだよね。 「はぁ、はぁ......マリアから手をっ......ちょっ、もう無理っ......げんか──おろろろろ」 「ゆ、ユウ?!」 とか勇ましく登場して思ってはみたものの、もう既に身体は限界でしたとさ......マリアが襲われてるらしい事を聞いてから、ここに着くまでアイテムやスキルを多用してノンストップで走って来たからもうスタミナが残ってない。 それどころかろくに検証もしていないまま無茶なスピードで走ったせいか三半規管が大ダメージを負ってる。 現在のレベルに相応しくないスピードで相応しくない挙動を取ったせいか、現実の肉体で絶叫アトラクションをハシゴしたよりも酷い状態だよ。 「コヒュー......、コヒュー......」 「......なにこれ」 打ち上げられたばかりのマグロの様に身体をビクンビクンと跳ねさせてながら倒れ込み、大量の汗を掻きながら青白い顔で口から液体を吐く姿をいきなり見せられても困惑するよね。 もうさっきから視界いっぱいに『WARNING』だとか、『ログアウト推奨』みたいな警告文が出まくってて苦笑するしかない。 「大丈夫大丈夫僕はやればできる子元気な子」 歯をガチガチとかち鳴らせ、細かく微振動を起こしながら出来の悪いロボットの様に同じ言葉を繰り返す。 そんな僕を見てマリアが涙目になり、赤鴉とやらも困惑しているのがよく見える。 「「っ?!」」 とりあえず巨大な二枚貝へと変身してから二人を飲み込み、ついでに一緒に海水を飲み込む事で《潮吹き》を発動する。 それによって海水と一緒に赤鴉だけを外へと勢いよく放り出してやる。 「......ごめん、巻き込んだ」 「うん、シリアスな感じに言ってるけど何も見えない」 「本当になってどうするのよ......」 まぁ厳密には違うけど、今の状態はマリアが僕の口の中に居るようなもので......そりゃ何も見えないよね。 「あとなんか生臭いんだけど!」 「なっ?! それは僕の口が臭いんじゃなくて、この貝自体が臭いだけだからね?!」 「うっそ、私って今アンタの口の中に居るの?! この変態っ!!」 「『魔法少女・痴の七日間』」 「......マリアさん?」 「『生意気ロリに分からせ──」 「わ、わー! わー! これから危なくなるからマリアは大人しくしてようねッ!!」 なんでマリアが僕の有明の戦利品を知ってるの?! ちゃんと二重底に隠しておいたはずなのに!! クソう、幼馴染みの女の子に性癖がバレまくってて死にたくなってくる......ええい、もう仕方がない! 今は忘れよう! 「『貝塚』!」 自身を爆散させる事で大量の小さな貝へと分裂し、周囲に積み重なるように降り注がせる。 相手の視界を遮ると共に、僅かな振動に反応して中の身が鳴らす鈴の様な音色によってコチラからは相手の位置を把握する事が可能になるそれらを発動すると共にマリアを担いで飛ぶ。 「ちょっと揺れるよ」 「お、おう......」 周囲に鳴り響く貝殻の音を聞き、やはりそうかと確信を得る......奴は細かい攻撃に対しては『パリィ』などを用いて無効化するけど、こういった大規模な攻撃に関しては地中に潜る事でやり過ごしているみたいだね。 恐らくは『土中潜航』か、モグラの爪という消費アイテムを利用しているんだろう。 であるならば、そのどちらであっても地中に潜ってる事が分かればそれで良い。 『親子魔術』の《おねだり》を発動する事で突如としてデフォルメされた巨人の親子がその場に出現する。 小さい方の、子どもと見られる巨人が手に持つ何かを母親の巨人へと掲げて見せて何かを言うのを眺めながら、これから来る衝撃に備える為に『カースト魔術』の《最底辺》を発動し、空気となる事でプカプカと宙に浮く。 『ママァ! これ買って!』 直後に起こる地震──いや、子どもが我が儘を言いながら起こす地団駄によって周辺の地面が激しく揺れ始める。 さぁ出て来いよ、地面に潜った状態で大地を揺らされると四方八方から押し潰されてダメージが看過できないだろう? 特定のエネミーを怒り状態にする魔術を巨人親子の母親へと掛ける......それによって普段ならば買って済ませていた母親が急に怒り始めてしまう。 『もう知らないからね! 一生そこに居なさい!』 『や ゙ぁ ゙だ ゙ぁ ゙ー ゙! ゙! ゙ マ ゙マ ゙ァ ゙ァ ゙ァ ゙ァ ゙ア ゙! ゙! ゙! ゙! ゙』 これによってプリプリと怒りながら去って行った母親に置き去りにされた子ども巨人はその場で四肢を投げ出し、大暴れをしだす。 この状態では地中に戻る事も出来ず、出来たとしてもジリ貧......かといって地上に留まるのは地獄である。 さて、赤鴉はここからどうするのか。 「──《致命の一撃》」 『マ ゙ッ ゙? ゙! ゙』 ......まぁ、そうなるよね。 邪魔なエネミーは殺してその場の戦闘から排除するに限る。 僕だってボスモンスターが手下を呼んだらそうするさ......でも、それは今回に限っては悪手かもよ。 「......驚いた」 近くでチラチラと息子の様子を見ていた母親が、我が子が殺されてしまった事によって鬼と化して襲いかかって来るからね。 そしてここで《オレオレ詐欺》を発動し、絶えず母親に息子を騙る声を聞かせて怒りを増幅させ、赤鴉には《大草原》を掛けて動きに制約を与える。 「《蝶舞蜂刺》」 あれは自身に五回の絶対回避と、五回の刺突攻撃のダメージ倍加スキルだね......やはり彼か彼女か分からないけど赤鴉は軽戦士タイプが近いかな。 簡単に倒されてしまった母親巨人を見ながらゆっくりと大地に降り立つ。 「君、面白いね」 「面白いのはここの運営だと思う」 普通スーパーとかで騒ぐ子どもをスキルで再現するか? って思うよね。 僕の服の袖を指で摘みながらジトっとした目で見てくるマリアから目を逸らしながら次のスキルを発動する。 「《凍結》」 わざわざ地上に出てきてくれたんだから、まずは浜辺を凍らせて潜れない様にしてやる。 上空から聞こえてくる副垢と思わしき物で謝罪になってない謝罪を垂れ流す男の声をサクッと無視しつつ、マリアを背後に退避させてから走り出す。 「《不意に来たる不幸》」 「何を──痛っ!」 赤鴉の持つ細剣の柄に静電気を発生させるだけの小さな嫌がらせ......他にもこむら返りを起こす等があるけど、今この場は氷漬けで少し寒いから静電気が出る確率が高くなる。 望む通りの結果を引き寄せ、敵の注意が手元にいった数瞬を見逃さず《炎上》を奴に未だに絡まってる草目掛けて放ち、ついでに《クソリプ》も発動して一定の距離を保つ。 『本当にそんな事をしても良いと思ってるんですか?』 『ペストマスクとかダッサw』 『#自分を怒らせたらどうなるか みたいなタグ付けて呟いてそうな顔してんな』 『FF外から失礼するゾ~(謝罪) ファッ!? お前のツイート面白スギィ!!!!! 自分、RTいいっすか〜^? 淫〇知ってそうだから〇夢のリストにぶち込んでやるぜ! いきなりリプしてすみません! 許してください! なんでもしますから! (なんでもするとは言ってない)』 『君ね、そんな事をしていいと思ってるの? もしそうなら勉強不足だよ』 全身白タイツの集団が赤鴉を囲み、前進も後退もさせない様にウザさMAXで邪魔をするのを確認しながら準備を終わらせたスキルを発動する。 巨人親子の地震、不意に来たる不幸によって発生した静電気という雷、そして奴の身体に絡み付いた草が炎上する火事......ここまで来たら後はあれしかないだろう。 「──《害獣召喚》!」 何らかの手段で地震、雷、火事の三つを発生させないと召喚できない魔獣の恐ろしさをとくと味わえ! 「......なに、それ」 強烈な光と共にバーコードハゲでちょび髭、まるめがねを掛けた二頭身のオヤジが現れて──その口を開く。 「──この海にイルカはいるか、つって! ドッ!」 その瞬間激しい吹雪があたり一面を覆い尽くし、海までもが凍り付いて浜辺との境界線すら無くなってしまう。 赤鴉に至っては自身に纏わりつかれたクソリプマン達と一緒に氷像と化している。 寒すぎてコチラまで《霜焼け》のバッドステータスが付き、微量なスリップダメージが入ってしまう禁術の威力は凄まじく、遠目に見えていた他のプレイヤー達まで吹き飛んでしまった。 ......いや、その、本当にごめん......多分マリアを助けようと駆け付けてくれたんだろうけど。 ともかくこれで倒せていると良いんだけど......もしも無理ならまた次の手を打つ。 地震、雷、火事、親父のコンボ技は割とMP消費がバカにならないからこれで倒れてくれると嬉しくはあるんだけど。 「......やったの?」 「ねぇ、マリア?」 「え? ......あっ! ごめん!」 ついうっかり立てなくても良いフラグをマリアが立ててしまうと同時に目の前の氷像が砕け散る。 それを見て僕は額に手を当てて遠い目をし、出し惜しみしてる場合じゃない事態になった事を呪う。 ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼

"Y-Yuu...?" Maria, who was wearing a cute swimsuit, was a complete mess... She was being grabbed by her bangs and brought up from the ground. I don't really understand how things turned out this way, and I don't mean to pry on other people's playstyles, but... seeing those important to me and those I idolize getting themselves pummeled is not really the cup of tea of an otaku like me. "Hah, hah... Take your filthy hands off Maria... Wait, I can't... hah... hah... I can't... Owowow" "Y-Yuu?!" I thought that I had made quite a brave entrance, but it appeared that my body was already at its limit... After learning that Maria was being attacked, I'd used so many items and skills to run all the way here without stopping for a second. And now I don't have a single sliver of stamina left. As a matter of fact, my ears had sustained quite a deal of damage, probably because I've been running at an unreasonable speed without having ever stopped to check on them. It felt even worse than what would happen whenever I got on a rollercoaster with my real body, probably because I was moving at a speed that wasn't right for my current level. "*cough, cough*" "...What's this?" It was even more embarrassing to realize that my face was completely pale, and I was sweating and spitting so much that it seemed as if I was about to collapse like some tuna that washed up ashore. I couldn't help but laugh after seeing the "WARNING" and "Logout advised" signs that were covering my field of vision. "I'm okay, I'm okay, I can do this, I'm quite energetic, you know?" He was making a horrible noise while rattling his teeth and repeating the same words over and over like a broken record. I could see that the Red Crow was feeling very uncomfortable after looking at me and seeing Maria crying. ""What?!"" I transformed into a huge bivalve, swallowed the two of them, and then swallowed some seawater so that I could activate my [Water Spout]. This would allow me to eject the Red Crow along with the seawater I had swallowed. "...I'm sorry I dragged you into my attack." "I know that you're serious about that, but I can't see anything." "Have you really turned into a shellfish? What am I going to do now...?" Well, strictly speaking, I clearly didn't have the same aspect as an actual shellfish... But Maria was inside my mouth, so she couldn't see anything. "And also, it reeks of fish in here!" "What?! That doesn't mean that my mouth smells, it's the shellfish itself that smells like fish, okay?!" "What? I'm inside your mouth right now?! You're gross!!" "[Magical Girl: Seven Days of Foolishness]" "...Maria?" "[Turn into cheeky loli-" "W-W-Whoa! I-It's gonna get rough from now on, s-so you should stay put, Maria!!" How does Maria know I like that?! It's supposed to be hidden deep down in the far corner of my mind!! Shit, if the fact that I have a fetish for my childhood friend is exposed, I'm gonna die... But I can't think about that! I gotta forget about that now! "[Shell Heap]!" I caused my own transformed body to burst into a large number of smaller shells, which rained down and piled up in the surroundings. Then I carried Maria around while the shells not only disrupted my opponent's field of vision, but also allowed me to tell his position and movements relative to mine by sensing the fine vibrations that traveled through them. "It's gonna be a bit of a shaky ride." "O-Oh..." Listening to the sound bouncing between each of the small shells, I was able to confirm something... He was using his [Parry] to nullify small attacks, but when it came to large-scale attacks, he would instead burrow underground. Perhaps he was able to use a skill that allowed him to dig tunnels, or even a consumable item called a "mole claw". In any case, it was nice to know that he would try to escape some attacks by burrowing underground. The [Parent and Child Magic] spell, [Pester], caused a giant mother and child to suddenly appear on the spot. Watching the smaller, child-like giant hold something in his hand and show it to his mother's giant and say something to her, I activated my [Caste Magic] spell [Foundation] to float in the air in preparation for the upcoming shock. "Mama! Buy this for me!" Immediately after that, an earthquake... or rather, the giant boy started to stomp violently on the ground. I figured that by causing the ground itself to shake, that guy would be crushed from all directions, so there would be no way for him to avoid being damaged. Since I used a spell to enrage the giant mother, instead of "buying" it for her child, she suddenly became very angry. "I'm done with you! Stay here for the rest of your life for all I care!" "NOOOOOO! MAMAAAAA!!!" As a result of being left behind by his angry mother, the child started to throw a tantrum. That guy shouldn't be able to return to the surface under these conditions, and even if he were, I wouldn't want to do that if I were him. So, what is the Red Crow going to do now? "...[Fatal Strike]" "Ma...?!" ...Well, sure, I guess he could do To erase any disturbing enemies from the battle by killing them on the spot. I'd do that if a boss monster summoned minions... but that might have been a bad move this time. "...You surprised me." The giant mother, who had been watching events unfold, turned into a demon and rushed towards Red Crow after seeing her child getting killed. Then I activated [Voice Over] to speak to the giant mother using his child's voice to further amplifying her anger, followed by a [Praire] onto Red Crow to restrict his movements. "[Butterfly Sting]" That's a skill that consists of 5 total evasive maneuvers followed by 5 stabs that deal double damage... I don't know what his class was, but Red Crow's fighting style seemed to be that of some kind of light warrior. He gently landed on the ground while watching the mother giant, who was easily defeated. "You're an interesting one." "What I think is... He must be wondering how normal for a game must be to have skills that allow one to summon noisy children so that they can create earthquakes. While picking my sleeves with my fingers and looking away from Maria, I activate my next skill. "[Freeze]" Well, since he finally came out of the ground for us, I figured I'd freeze the beach over so that he couldn't dive underwater. I placed Maria on the ground behind me and then broke into a dash while promptly ignoring the Red Crow's grunting, which vaguely sounded like some false apology one would make from an alternate account. "[Unexpected Misfortune]" "What are you - ow!" It was only a slight harassment, a small lightning brought forth by a current of static electricity that was generated on the handle of the Red Crow's short sword. It also caused him some leg cramps. Since this place was getting a bit cold, there was a high chance that static electricity would be generated. This caused the desired effect of drawing his attention to his sword long enough for me to unleash a bit of [Flame] at the grass that was still attached to him, and then activated [Offensive Replies] to keep a certain distance from him. "Do you really think it's okay to do that?" "Look at that tacky plague mask you're wearing lol" "Should've added a #ThisIsWhatHappensWhenYouMakeMeAngry tag" "What's with that fake apology of yours? Your tweet is too good to pass up!! Can I retweet it? I'll save it on my Favorites list! Sorry for the sudden reply! Please forgive me! I'll do anything! (I won't though lol)" "You think you're so cool doing that, don't you? You must not be studying enough." After activating my skill, a group of white comment bubbles surrounded the Red Crow, and I could see that they were bothering him enough to not allow him to move either forward nor backward. The giant mother and child's earthquake, the Unexpected Misfortune generated static electricity's lightning, and the fire burning the grass on his body... I guess there's only one thing left to try since we're here. "...[Summon Harmful Beast]!" Now, experience the horror of a monster that cannot be summoned unless an earthquake, lightning, and fire are generated in some way! "...What Along with an intense light, a small creature that looked like a miniature middle-aged man with round glasses, a little mustache, and a comb over appeared... Then it opened its mouth. "...Oh, is that the sea over there? I At that moment, a heavy snowstorm covered the entire surface, freezing the sea itself as well, and turning everything into a sheet of ice. As a result, the Red Crow had been turned into an ice sculpture along with the comment bubbles that were clinging onto him. The intense cold had caused him to be afflicted with the [Frostbite] status effect, and the forbidden technique that causes damage over time was so tremendously effective that it had affected several other players that just happened to be within its large range. ...They might have been trying to rush here to help Maria... I'm sorry, guys. Anyway, I hope this is enough to beat him... If not, I'll have to take this even further beyond once again. The combo of earthquake, thunder, fire, and the middle-aged man actually takes a hefty cut of my MP, so I'm hoping this is enough to take him down. "...Did you get him?" "Hey, Maria?" "Eh? ...Oh! I'm sorry!" Maria then set a flag that didn't need to be set at all, and at the same time, the ice sculpture in front of her shattered. Seeing that, I put my hand on my forehead and looked far away, cursing the fact that no resource should've been spared in this fight. VVVVVVV

「はっ......はっ......」 「ごめんね、もう少しだけ頑張ろうね」 そう言って僕は助け出した奴隷だった小さな女の子の手を握り走る。女の子は体力の限界だろうが仕方ない。もうすぐそこまで追っ手が迫ってきている。 レーナさんに一発腹に貰って少し悶絶してから、僕は混乱に乗じて助け出された元奴隷たちをその時一番近い地下通路の出入口へと送り届けていた............が、この女の子はロリコン貴族の所から助け出された。幸いまだ奴隷になってから日が浅く酷いことはされてないようだが、その貴族の屋敷はどの出入口にも遠かったために未だ走り続けている。 「ごめんね、男の僕に触れられるのは嫌だろうけど我慢してね? 」 一言断りを入れ、女の子が頷いたのを確認してから、なるべく負担の掛からないように腕を椅子にするようにして担ぎ上げる。 「追え! 」 「この不良品共め! 」 迫る追っ手の剣閃を頭を下げ、飛び上がり、身を捩り回避するがそろそろキツイな......。 「《草》」 なのでここで『ネット魔術』で追っ手の足元に草を生やして足を絡め取り、そのまま全身に纏わりつかせる。............どこからか汚い笑い声が聞こえてくるがいつものことなので無視する。 すぐさま同じく『ネット魔術』による炎上により草ごと燃やし、継続ダメージを与えつつ後続の足止めをする。............どこからか尊師ネタやふざけた画像の応酬が演出として宙に浮かぶが無視だ! 「《凍結》」 そのまま草が燃えて発生した煙を隠れ蓑にして水路をこれまた『ネット魔術』で凍らせてからそこを渡り逃げる。............副垢で謝罪になっていない言い訳を垂れ流す声と映像が流れるが無視ったら無視! 「っ! 」 「道を塞げ! 」 なんとか撒いたと思ったら、運が悪いことに目の前の通りを衛兵が塞ぐ。予め回り込まれていたのだろう、ショートカットをしたとはいえ地元民には勝てないか............仕方ない。 「『DQN魔術』............《法定速度違反》!! 」 短時間だけだが一瞬のうちに爆発的な加速をして衛兵たちを追い抜............いや、轢いていく。............どこからか『キキッー! ドンッ! ウゥー、ウゥー、ソコノクルマトマリナサイ』と恐らく事故の音とサイレン音、そして警察の呼びかけらしきものが流れるが絶対に無視し続けてやる!! 衛兵たちを轢いて駆け抜けながらさらに足止めとして『ネット魔術』を発動する。 するとどこからかアニメアイコンを顔に貼り付けた全身白タイツの集団が衛兵たちを取り囲み『そんなことしていいと思ってるんですか? 』『走れない人もいるんですよ! 』『ポ〇モンゲットだぜ! 』『衛兵よりも事務職の方が給料もいいし命の危険も少ないと思います、勉強したらどうですか? 』『この子可愛くないですか? 』などと延々と相手のことなど考えず捲し立てる............おぞましいから無視しろ、俺!! 「ねぇ、あの人たち......」 「見てはいけません! 」 自分で出しておいてアレだが小さい子には猛毒だと思う。女の子の視界に入らないようにしながら逃げ続ける。 「あそこだ! 」 「絶対に逃がすな! 」 クソっ! 本当に敵の数が多い、確かにここは貴族街だがそんなに湧いて出てこなくてもいいじゃないか! 「くっ! この子の前で使いたくなかったけど.........ええぃ! 《メスガキ》! 」 『オタク魔術』......一時期オタクの間で流行った物を召喚したりする魔術により生意気な表情をした女の子が現れて衛兵たちに―――― 「ざ〜こっ! 恥ずかしくないの? ♡」 「大人を舐めるなよ?! 」 「絶対負かす! 」 ――――見事に引っかかりヘイトを稼ぐことに成功するが............。 女の子の視線が痛い! 無表情でジッとこちらを見てくる! いっそなんか罵って!! 「うぅ......《圧倒的成長力》《エンチャント・アクセラレータ》!! 」 『リア充魔術』を発動し、『自分を追い込み圧倒的成長』『フィジカルシンキングを発揮してパートナーシップを』『バーベキューなう』『お客様目線のカスタマーサイドに』『頼れる上司、優しい先輩、可愛い後輩』などと意識高い系――――ツイ〇ターではなくフ〇イスブックを使っているような奴ら――――が現れ、こちらに人生の楽しさをひたすら布教する............無視したいがそれによって次の強化や付与の効果が2倍になり、AGIの強化をした後に一気に駆け抜ける............!! 「......なんで泣いてるの? 」 「なんでもないよ............」 その調子で街を駆け続けやっと出入口に到着する。............ここまで本当に長かった、自分のスキルでダメージ負うってなんなんだ......取得したのは自分だけどさ............。 「ほら、あとはこの人たちについていけばいいからね? 」 「すまない、助かります」 「いえいえ、では僕は次の――――」 場所へ行こうとすると服の裾を女の子に掴まれる、どうかしたのかな? 「......どうしたの? 」 「あ、あの......助けてくれてありがとう、私の名前リナって言うの............だから、その......今度お礼させてください! 」 「もちろん構わないよ、その時を楽しみにしてるね? 」 「っ! う、うん! 」 どうだ! 僕だって役に立つんだよ! 見たかレーナさん! 「それでは僕はこれで、その子のこと頼みますね? 」 「あぁ、任せてくれ」 女の子......リナちゃんを解放員の人に任せて僕はまた街を走る、僕にラノベ的展開は望むべくもないけど少しでも......たとえゲームでも人助けが出来るのなら全力を出そう! 《カルマ値が上昇しました》 そんなアナウンスを聞き流しながら僕は次の場所へ向かっていく。

"Ha... ha..." "Sorry. It's just a little farther." I said as I held the hand of a young girl who had been a slave, and ran. She was likely too tired to keep going, but there was nothing I could do. Our pursuers would catch up to us. After nearly fainting from Rena punching me in the stomach, I used the chaos in order to help the former slaves escape through the underground passages... This girl had been rescued by some pervert noble. Though, it seemed that she had not been a slave for long, and had not been hurt yet, but as the mansion had been very far from any of the underground entrances, we were still running. "Sorry. You must hate being touched by someone like me. But it's not far now, okay?" She nodded without saying anything. Seeing that, I picked her up so that my arms were fixed like a chair. "Chase them!" "You faulty tools!" Our pursuers brandished their weapons above their heads as they jumped out. It would be hard to dodge their attacks... "<Weed>" And so I used the <Net Magic> to make weed grow at their feet, and bind their entire bodies... I could hear creepy laughter coming from somewhere, but I ignored it. I immediately followed it with the <Net Magic: Torches and Pitchforks> in order to burn the weed and cause repeated damage while slowing them down... Memes and silly images popped out of nowhere as part of the effects, but I ignored them! "<Frozen Account>" The grass burned up and created walls of smoke, allowing me to escape towards the water ways, which I also froze with <Net Magic>... I could see images and audio from alt accounts that were making terrible apologies, but I ignored them! "!" "Block the road!" It was just as I thought that I had shaken them off. Guards were suddenly blocking the path up ahead. They must have predicted where I would go. While it had been a shortcut, I didn't know the place as well as they did... It could not be helped. "<Dumbass Magic: Break the Speed Limit>!!" While it was only for a brief moment, there was an explosive acceleration of speed and I passed... trampled over, the soldiers... I could hear sounds like, 'Squeak! Boom! Woo-woo! Stop right there!' which I think was supposed to be the sounds of an accident and siren. And also a police officer. But I ignored them!! As I ran them over, I activated another <Net Magic> in order to slow them down. A group of people wearing white bodysuits and with anime icons stuck on their heads suddenly surrounded the guards and shouted things like, 'Do you really think it's okay to do this?' 'There are some people who can't run!' 'I caught a pocket monster!' 'You can make more money working in an office, and it's safer! Why don't you study for that?' 'Isn't she cute?' The provocations went on and on... It was horrifying, and so I ignored them!! "Hey, those people..." "Don't look at them!" I was one to talk, since I had brought them out. But this was clearly bad for children. And so I ran while keeping them out of her vision. "There they are!" "Don't let them get away!" Shit! There really were so many of them. I knew this was the district where the nobles lived, but there didn't have to be so many! "Tsk! I didn't want to use it in front of her, but...hah! <Lewd Brat>!" <Otaku Magic>... it was magic that was once popular among otaku, and allowed you to summon a girl who had an insolent expression... "You trash! Aren't you embarrassed?" "Don't disrespect your elders, okay!?" "You'll lose no matter what!" --She succeeded in antagonizing them... The glare of the girl I was helping was painful! She was looking this way without any expression! She might as well just insult me! "Uhhh... <Overwhelmingly Buffed - Enchantment: Accelerate>!!" I activated the <Normie Magic>. And then a bunch of smart types, the people who use facebook but not twitter, and make posts like 'overwhelming growth through pushing oneself,' 'partnership through physical thinking,' 'reliable boss, kind senpai, cute kouhai' etcetera... came out and started talking about how wonderful their lives were. And while I wanted to ignore them, they doubled my buffs and enchantments, and with my enhanced AGI, I was able to dash on ahead...!! "... Why are you crying?" The girl asked. "It's nothing..." I replied. Like that, I continued to run through the town until we reached the entrance... It had been such a long road to get here. And I somehow managed to receive damage from my own skills... It was ridiculous, but I was the one who had acquired them... "See? You just have to follow these people now." "Thank you for bringing her." "Not at all. Now I just have to..." As I tried to leave, the girl grabbed my sleeve. What now? "... What's the matter?" "I, uh... thank you for saving me. My name is Rina... so, uh... I'll thank you properly next time!" "That's fine. I'll be looking forward to it, okay?" "Ye-yes!" How's that? I can be useful too! Did you see that, Rena? "Well, I must be going now. Can I leave her in your hands?" "Yes, don't worry." The girl... Rina. I left her to the freed people and I ran back through the town. I didn't expect to live like a light novel protagonist... but if I could help even a few people within a game, I would do my best! <Your Karma has gone up.> I heard the announcement as I ran to my next destination.

Chapter 68 - Ichijouji Reina's Daily Life - Part 4 "... Yuuki, was Hannes... Was Masaki (?) alright? He seemed to be a bit strange." Miss Ichijouji said. Oda laughed a bit, "He'll probably be fine..." I, Hagiwara Mai, am currently in the middle of a stalking mission. The target is Ichijouji Reina, the school's celebrity whose rumors transcend the boundaries of our own school and go much farther beyond... And Oda as a bonus. "Isn't it still early?" The worm called Oda replied. "You forgot? Next class is PE." Miss Ichouji stated the obvious. ... Ah, I have to move too, I got too engrossed in the usual stalking routine that I forgot about the schedule. Better get going. She's so beautiful, her skin shines with perfection, her hair is long and glossy, her body's shape is nothing short of incredible... I might even get a nosebleed if I stare for too long, this sight isn't meant for human beings.... "Miss Ichijouji? You talked a lot with Oda today, are you really just friends?" One of the girls asked. That was an important question. The time I have available to stare at miss Ichijouji's perfect body is short, but I can't get so drawn into it to the point I miss this kind of information. "I'm not." Miss Ichijouji replied bluntly. Those are wonderful news, now I can be sure that the stupid Oda won't ever reach the pages of my doujinshi! The girl seemed to start remembering her place, so she changed her behavior a bit, "Then, would you mind telling me how you got to know each other?" I'm curious too! Please do tell! "From a game called KSO." Miss Ichijouji replied. "Miss Ichijouji you play games? That's surprising." The girl commented... And KSO of all things? I play it too! How didn't I meet you there!? How did Oda skip ahead of me!? "I wonder if I should try playing it too?" This girl... She sure has guts, doesn't she? How dare she try to-

20.アレクセイ・バーレンスその2 これは......中々に不味い状況と言えるでしょう。 近づくだけでスリップダメージがありそうな見た目してますし、迂闊に近づくのは悪手でしょうね............。 まぁ超絶強化の代償にこの状態は30秒と少ししか持たな―――― 「っ?! 」 ――――一瞬にして距離を詰められ左腕を斬り飛ばされてしまいました、全く前兆すら見えませんでした。 咄嗟にカウンターを放ち首筋を浅く切り裂くことはできましたが左腕を犠牲にしたにしてはしょっぱい結果ですね。 うわ、あの人突撃の衝撃で吹き飛ばしましたよ......これは、無理に倒そうとせず時間稼ぎや短縮を狙っていった方が良さそうです。 ――――なので積極的に周りで佇んでいるプレイヤーたちの群れに突っ込みます。 「ジェノサイダーちゃんマジ容赦ない......」 「散開しろ! 巻き込まれるぞ! 」 いいえ、逃がしません。退路を三田さんに《聖壁》と火薬玉の投擲、影山さんたちの《影縫い》で大体の足止めをします。 全員とは行きませんが大多数をその場に留め、積極的に盾にします。 プレイヤーたちを盾にしつつ自作ポーションで左腕をくっ付けます、三田さんの光魔術による回復と回復効果促進とリジェネ効果がつくポーションも追加で飲んでおきます............ちゃんと動くようですね、良かったです。 「まったく困ったものです......」 逃げ回りながらあちこちに毒煙玉をばら撒いていきます。 最初からこっちが不利だったというのにこの超絶強化はないですよね、作戦通りにいくとよいのですが―――― 「おい! 騎士のあんちゃん、俺たちプレ......渡り人は死んでも生き返る! 遠慮なくやれ! 」 「そうだ! 躊躇せずやれ! 」 「俺らごとやれ! 」 ――――――――さらに不利になりましたね、余計なことを.........。 「俺ごとやってくれ! へへっ、お前との冒険楽し――――」 あ、ふざけてた方が巻き込まれてリスポーンしていきましたね............って、悠長に観察してる場合ではありませんね、物凄い勢いでプレイヤーたちを巻き込みながら突っ込んできます。 火薬玉や毒煙玉を投擲して目くらまししつつ、大きく横に逸れます――――が腹を切り裂かれてしまいましたね。 「物凄い勢いでポーション類が消費されていく......調薬スキルを取得してて良かったですね」 盾にならないのならばせめて武器になれとばかりにプレイヤーを火薬玉などを仕込んで投擲します。 もちろん迎撃されますが関係ありません、1秒に満たないですが三田さんたちの魔術でも一瞬なら足止め出来ます、その間に出来るだけ距離を稼ぎつつまた投擲です。 「俺らがジェノサイダーちゃんの武器になっている件について」 「その前は盾にもなっていたし意外と優秀なのでは? 」 「最終兵器俺たち」 近づかれれば短刀でいなして、逸らし、受け流して凌いでいきます。 突進共に放たれる突きを刃をたて、半身になって躱し、急ブレーキからの振り返りの勢いを載せた薙ぎ払いを地面に伏せて回避し、その低い姿勢のままアキレス腱を切り付けます............が効いてるのかイマイチわかりませんね。 っ! ヤバいです、ここに来てスピードが上がりました、こっちは戦場にいる人数が減って称号の効果が落ちているというのにこれでは―――― ――――刹那の瞬間に放たれる斬撃を気合いの咆哮を以って自身に活を入れ、半ば意地で受け流します。 「......ふぅふぅ」 腕が痺れますし息が切れてきました、あちこち切り裂かれながら耐えています。致命傷じゃなければいいやという感じですね。 もう持ちませんよまだですかね? 「シっ! 」 「フッ! ハッ! 」 「ググゥ! 」 突きで肩を、薙ぎ払いで腹を、振り下ろしで右腕を、逆袈裟で太ももを、回転斬りで頬を切り裂かれながら紙一重で弾き、逸らし、流して、避ける―――― 「なるほど、これかヤムチャ視点」 「何してるのかまったくわかんねぇ」 ――――が、左脚を斬り飛ばされてバランスを崩したところに突撃されます。 ............あぁ、これは避けられませんね、走馬灯のように鬼の形相をした騎士団長が突っ込んでくるのを眺めます。 これは私だけでなく井上さんたちまで死んでしまいそうですね............。

Chapter 20 Alexei Vallence 2 This situation...can perhaps be called quite bad. It seems like I could take slip damage by approaching him, so it would be bad getting close to him carelessly.......... Well, I could just wait as he only has 30 seconds limit for the cost of his super-strengtheni--- Rena: "!?!" ------He reduced the distance between us in an instant and cut off my left arm. I did not even see any signs from him at all. I was able to throw a counter and grazed his neck slightly, but it's a shame that I have to sacrifice my left arm, you see. Uwah, it was blown away by his charge impact, yes... It seems it would be better to aim for surviving and shortened the time without trying to knock him down. ---Therefore, I aggressively rushed into the crowd of players who are standing still. Player: "Genocider-chan is really merciless..." Player: "Spread out! We will get caught!" I used Santa-san's <<Holy Wall>> on their retreat path, threw explosive balls, and confined most of everyone with Kageyama-san and the others' <<Shadow Weave>> . I didn't manage to get everyone, but I will keep the majority on the spot and use them actively as shields. I attached my left arm back with the potion that I have created by myself while using the players as shields. I added Santa-san's light magic, recovery, recovery effect acceleration and regeneration effects to the potion...... looks like I can move my arm again, that's great. Rena: "What a troublesome fellow..." I threw a few poison smoke bombs and scattered them here and there while running from place to place. Although this has been disadvantageous for me since the beginning, it's a lot more difficult if he has super-strengthening. It would be great if this will go as planned, but--- Player: "Oi! Knight bro! We, the playe-....the migrants will revive when we die! Just do it!" Player: "Yeah! Just do it!" Player: "Don't mind us and just do it!" ----------It became more disadvantageous, I see? Such unnecessary things...... Player: "Don't hesitate and mind us! Hehe, Let's go on a fun adventure toge---" Ah, those who were fooling around got caught and respawned, it seems..... Wait, This is not the time to watch leisurely. He's charging in with a frightful spirit while engulfing the players around him. I turned away to the side while throwing the explosive balls and poison smoke bombs as a smoke screen---but, I was cut in the stomach. Rena: "The potions are being consumed at a tremendous pace... it was a good idea to obtained the medicine skill, yes." If the players can't serve as shields, at least it can be used as weapons, hence I threw some players that I have inserted explosive balls and stuffs beforehand. Of course it was intercepted, but that doesn't matter. I can stop his movement with Santa-san and the others' magic even if it's less than a second, and while I'm at it, I have to get some distances as much as possible and throw another one at him again. Player: "About us being Genocider-chan's weapon..." Player: "Wait, before that, she also used us as shields, aren't we surprisingly good?" Player: "The ultimate weapon, that is us." If he gets close, I won't be able to use my dagger, and could only evade, fend it off and endure. I dodged while rushing in and released some thrusts with my sword, then I laid on the ground to avoid the slash momentum with a sudden break, and cut his Achilles' heel while maintaining a low posture......though, I don't quite know whether it would have an effect or not. !! This is bad. He's approaching here and his speed has increased. My title's effect has dropped as the number of people on the battlefield has been reduced significantly. This is--- ------I released some slashes with a vigorous yell in an instant while moving my body and half dodging with my willpower. Rena: "......Fuhh...fuhh..." My arms are now numb and my breath has run out, I have endured while being cut everywhere. It's a good thing that these are not fatal wounds. I can't wait anymore, is it not time yet? Rena: "Shi!!" Rena: "Fuh!! Haa!!" Alexei: "Guguu!" Stabbing his shoulders, cutting his stomach, swinging down my right arm, flipping over my thighs, turning around and cut his cheek while dodging with a paper-thin difference, evading, running away, and avoiding his attacks--- Player (Yamcha 1): "I see, so this is Yamcha's point of view." Player (Yamcha 2): "I have no idea what they are doing." ---but, my left leg got cut off and he immediately charged in when I was about to lose my balance. I watched the knight captain whose appearance is similar like a demon, came charging towards me. This is, the one who will likely die is not only me but also Inoue-san and the others, it seems......

──終わった。 私が地に倒れ伏し、殺害対象であるユウが立っている事から勝敗は明らかだった。 「......」 何度も立ち上がっては自分の持てる全てを注ぎ込んでユウを殺すべく立ち向かった......けれどもただの一度として私の刃は彼? には届かなかった。 客観的に見ても私の方がスキルではない体術も、VR適性も上だったのにそれでも彼の方が上手で......少し悔しい。 よく分からないスキルと、それを扱う異常なまでに高い 私は常に後手に回され、起死回生として無理に攻めに転じたとしてもいなされる。 正直に言って彼の扱うスキルの悉くがムカつくし、やっていられない。 「どう? 満足した?」 「......満足?」 敗者である私に勝者から投げ掛けられる言葉がそれなのか......どうだ、満足したかと詰られるのだろうか。 だとするのならば彼の性格は良いとは言えない、けれどもそれを責める資格は私にはない── 「──全力で競い合うのって、楽しいでしょ?」 そう言って屈みながら、割れたペストマスク越しに私の目を覗き込む彼の言葉に息を飲む。 「PKも楽しみ方の一つではあるけどさ、やっぱりゲームって驚きと発見、そして勝った時の高揚感と負けた時の悔しさが醍醐味だと思うんだ」 「だからさ、目標の人物を殺してはい終わりじゃなくてさ......全力を出しても勝てなくて悔しいって思って貰った方がゲーマーの僕としては嬉しいかな」 そう、かも知れない......私は確かにこの人とのPvPを楽しんでいた節がある。 自分では気付けなかったけど、何かに追われる様に手段としてこのゲームをしていた私が初めて......心の底から『遊べた』気がする。 「私も、アナタに負けて悔しかったけど......次は最強装備で返り討ちにしてやるんだから!」 コッチは確かマリアという名前だったか......この子は私に殺されて恨みを抱くのではなく、ユウが語った様に悔しがってくれているのか。 本人の同意もなくPKを仕掛け、襲いかかってきた私に何故そこまで情を掛けてくれるのかが分からないが......心地いいのは確かだった。 「ほら、マリアもこう言ってるしさ......ゲーマーはね、勝った側は大袈裟に喜んで見せ、敗者は心底悔しがって再挑戦に向けて爪を研ぐ。勝者はそんな敗者の再挑戦を心待ちにするものなんだ......持論だけどね」 そう語るユウの口調は何処までも優しくて......下層で野垂れ死にした兄をどうしても想起してしまう。 「ガチ勢やエンジョイ勢の区別なく──ゲームは楽しんでやらなくちゃ勿体ないぜ」 少しばかりカッコつけた様な物言いで持論を語りながら、私へと手を伸ばすユウの......前髪に隠れて見えなかった 私が唯一識別できるこの二色、今まで見てきたどの二色よりも......私にはどうしようもなく綺麗に映った。 「え? ......あぁ、これ? これは生まれつきなんだけどさ、ゲームならキャラ作りとしてそんなに目立たないからそのままにしてるんだよ」 「そもそも前髪が邪魔で見れないから切りなさいよ」 「え、いや、それはちょっと......十六年共に過ごしてきた前髪がないともはや落ち着かない身体になっていると申しますか......」 、私と同じで生まれつき目に問題があった人なのか......そう認識すると途端に親近感が湧いてくるから不思議なものだ。 そんな事を考えながら腕を上げて伸ばされた手を掴もうと──する直前で動きを止める。 「? ......どうしたの?」 「......流石に臭いことを言いすぎて気持ち悪がられちゃったんじゃないの?」 「そ、そんな事は......!」 何だろうか、この胸の高鳴りは......なぜ一旦落ち着いたはずの私の心臓はこんなにも暴れているのだろうか。 なぜこんなにも自分の顔が熱いのだろうか......マスクを着用しているとは言え、周囲にはまだユウがスキルで出した氷に覆われていると言うのに。 どうせ識別できやしないのに、何故だかユウの顔を見る事が......恥ずかしくて出来ない。 「あ、え? フレンド申請?」 とりあえず自分の不調は一旦脇に置いておいて、直前で止めてしまった手を誤魔化す為にユウへとフレンド申請を送り付けてやる。 フレンド登録なんて、幼馴染みの男の子以外では初めての経験だったせいか、少しだけ緊張した。 「......また、君に挑んでも良いかな」 「それは勿論構わないけど? ......あ、今度は間違えないでね! フレンドなら頭上に目印アイコンが出るし、ちゃんとそれを確認すること!」 「......分かった」 良かった、また会えるんだ──じゃなくて、リベンジの機会を得られたのだからもはやここに留まる理由もないだろう。 せめて次回戦う時は、先ほどの戦いでユウが繰り出してきたスキルには対応できる様に研究しなくてはならない。 ......だから、先ほどの戦いを録画した物を何回も何回も見なくてはならない。 「......じゃあ、もう行く......迷惑を掛けた」 「......ねぇ、私には?」 そのまま正体不明の恥ずかしさを振り切る様に、私は自らの喉を切り裂いてリスポーンする事にした。 「私だけフレンド申請来てないんだけど?」 「......マリアはほら、負けたから?」

It's over. I was lying on the ground and Yuu, the target of the murder, was standing. His victory was clear. "....." Many times I stood up and put everything I had into killing Yuu ......, but not once did my blade reach him. Even though I was objectively better at taijutsu and VR aptitude, which was not my skill, he was still better at it... It's a little disappointing. I wonder if his unfamiliar skills, along with his unusually high PS (player skills), memory, and processing power, are the secrets of his win. I was always put on the back foot, and even if I forced myself to go on the offensive as a comeback, I would be counter-attacked heavily. To be honest, all the skills he has and the way he handles pisses me off and I can't do anything. "How are you? Satisfied?" "satisfied with ......?" Is that the word that the winner throws at me, the loser? and ask me if I'm satisfied? If that's the case, then his personality is not good, but I can't blame him for that. "-- Isn't it fun to compete with all your might?" He bends down and looks into my eyes through the broken plague mask, and his words take my breath away. "PK is one of the ways to have fun, but I think the real thrill of a game is the surprise, the discovery, the excitement of winning, and the frustration of losing." "So, you know, as a gamer, I'd be happier if you felt frustrated that you couldn't win even though you gave it your all,......, rather than just killing your target and calling it a day. The boring thing" Yes, maybe ...... I certainly enjoyed PvP with this person in some sections. I didn't realize it myself, but I was playing this game as a means to an end, as if I was being driven by something, and for the first time ...... I felt like I could 'play' from the bottom of my heart. "I too was disappointed to lose to you, but ...... next time I'm going to get back at you with the best equipment and skills!" That girl was named Maria, as I recall,...... this girl is not holding a grudge for almost being killed by me. I don't know why he was so compassionate to me after I attacked him and set up a PK, but I was sure he was comfortable with it....... "Look, Maria says this too... Gamers will be happy to exaggerate the winner, while the loser will be heartily disappointed and sharpen their skills for another try. The winner is the one who looks forward to the loser's second challenge... It's just a matter of opinion." The tone in Yuu's voice is so gentle that it reminds me of my brother who died in the lower levels of the game. He said, "Whether you're a serious player or an enjoyer you've got to have fun with the game, otherwise it's a waste." While talking about his theory in a slightly cool way, Yuu's eyes reach out to me ... the red and black eyes that I couldn't see behind his bangs. These two colors, the only two colors I can identify, looked irrepressibly beautiful to me ...... than any other two colors I have ever seen. "What? ...... Oh, this? I'm born with this, but in a game, it's not that noticeable as a character creation, so I left it at that." "You should cut your bangs because they're too distracting to look at in the first place." "Well, no, it's just that ...... I've been with my body for ...... sixteen years, and I'm no longer comfortable without my bangs. ......" Oh, I see... Is he like me? A person who was born with strange eyes? It's strange because as soon as I recognize it, I feel a sense of familiarity. Thinking about that, I raised my arm and tried to grab my stretched hand -- just before I stopped moving. "What's wrong?...." "I thought you were done commenting on the stinky things on my bangs." "No, that's not ...... true!" What is this beating in my chest ...... Why is my heart, which should have calmed down, raging so wildly? Why is my face so hot, even though I am wearing a ......cooling mask, even though my surroundings are still covered in ice from Yuu's skill?. For some reason, I'm too ...... embarrassed to look at Yuu's face ......, even though I couldn't identify him anyway. "Oh, what? A Friend request?" For now, I'll put my own disorder aside and send a friend request to Yuu in order to fool the hand that stopped me just before. I was a little nervous because this was the first time I had ever registered as a friend with anyone other than a boy I had known since childhood. I asked him, "Do you mind if I challenge you again ......?" "Of course I don't mind, but... Oh, don't get me wrong this time! If you're a friend, you'll see a landmark icon above your head, and make sure you check it out!" "...... got it." It's good, I'll see you again - but now that I've got a chance to get revenge, there's no reason to stay here anymore. At the very least, the next time we fight, I must study our fights and tactics. So that Yuu can respond to the skills that Yuu has been performing in the fight just now. I'll have to watch the recording of the fight at ...... over and over again. "......So, I'm going to go now.......I've caused you trouble." "...... hey, what about me?" As it was, I decided to slice open my own throat and respawn to shake off the embarrassment of being unidentified "I'm the only one who hasn't received a friend request?" "...... Maria, you see, because you lost?"

「......本当に大丈夫なのでしょうか?」 「さぁな、無能であればそのままこの場で公開凌辱といくところだが......その心配はないのだろう?」 「えェ、むしろご自身の心配をした方が良いですヨ」 「ふん、スラム育ちの目利きがどれだけ当てになるか......」 おっと、私が考え事をしている間に二人が険悪な雰囲気を出してしまったな。 無能であれば潰した後に無理やり、有能であれば信頼を積み上げて聞き出そう......手に負えない存在ならば知らないフリだ。 「これより主賓を迎える!」 この場に居る一部の者しか理解できない言語で喋る他国の彼女が......この国の礼儀作法で挨拶する様に思わず感動してしまう。 この国の言語の習得すらまだであるくらい、この国を知って日が浅いだろうに......そんな彼女が祖国の礼儀作法だけは完璧に覚えている。 ......なるほど、ギランが殺せない訳だ。 「なぜこの場に......」 『さて、今回のパーティーではグレゴリウス様の支援者たちを納得させなければならないのでしたね』 「あ、あぁ、そうだ......皆の者紹介しよう! 彼女が私の協力者だ!」 っといけない......あちらの勢いに呑まれてはダメだ。 『今日は皆さんにサプライズプレゼントがあります』 「......ほう? サプライズとな? どんなものか楽しみだ」 ふむ......先ずは最初に賄賂や希少な品を融通する事でこちらの気を引こうと言うのか? 思わず通訳も忘れて聞き返してしまう......私の他にも『アリューシャ諸言語』が使える者たちが呆気に取られ、彼女の言葉が理解できない者たちは不安げに周囲を見渡す。 「大変ですグレゴリウス様! ファストリア商会の軍勢が迫って来ています!」

"Will things really be okay?" Gillian asked me. "Don't worry, if the girl is incompetent, then I can just push all the blame of whatever happens to her, and that will be that." I replied. "I mean... I think you should be worrying about yourself." Gillian replied. "Those nobodies' smell disgust me..." Another one said. They both went silent to my words... Truly uninteresting people they are. Gillian told me that Reiko is actually a pseudonym, but that's irrelevant. I'll see now if she's competent and worth working together with, or if she's a worthless person that needs to be crushed. "Everyone, let us welcome our guest of honor!" As I loudly stated that, the venue went quiet, "Please enter, Reiko!" Then, as the door opened, she came inside while being accompanied by a gigantic knight, "Thank you for inviting me today." She said in her native language. Most people here couldn't understand it, but her manners clearly showed politeness, which was plenty. Though I have to say it is strange that she came to this country without even learning the language first, but I suppose that's not something for me to worry about. I see... No wonder Gillian couldn't kill this one. "Why is that here...?" Another asked. "So, we came to this party to talk to the supporters of Gregoir." Reiko nonchalantly said. "T-that's right! Everyone, she is my collaborator!" I exclaimed, trying to regain control of the situation. Don't be afraid, don't be swallowed by the momentum. She surely took me off guard, but this is my ball, I won't let you do as you please here. "Oh, and by the way, I brought a present to you all." Reiko said. "A present? That was unexpected... I wonder what it might be." I replied. Is she trying to bribe them first before winning them over? That's not a bad plan, I suppose. Even the interpreter couldn't react to those words, but those that could understand the language went pale at her statement. "L-lord Gregoir! The forces of Fastria are approaching!" One of my soldiers rushed inside the venue while uttering those words, "They sent a messenger, saying that, 'We'll defeat the evil Serdis that is trying to get rid of the princess without going through a legitimate election!' milord!"

その一言と共に山田さんたちが城の中で高位魔術を放ちまくり、私も爆薬を周囲にばら撒きます。そこら中に大きな爆発音が響き渡り、壁などをぶち破って色んな部屋へと被害が出る。 「なにごとだ?!」 「陛下はいずこへ?!」 ここまで騒げばすぐに国王が殺されたことは伝わるでしょうし、ユウさんとマリアさんもこちらに気付くでしょう。 やはり振動がキツイのか抗議の声を上げる王女を窘めながら、駆け抜けていきます。 「殿下?!」 途中で遭遇した近衛兵の手足に鋼糸を括りつけ、そのままぶつ切りにして放置しましょう。 時間差で死んでも経験値は入るのか少し気になったのでその実験ですね、合間にステータスを見ながらギリギリレベルアップしないところまでは殺して、調整しながら行きましょう。 「貴様が騒ぎの元凶か?!」 「王女殿下を放せ!」 「ここから一歩も──」 爆発によって壁や床が吹き飛んだところから一気に跳躍して飛び降り、合間に外壁を蹴ることで落ちる勢いを調節します。次いでに落ちながら周りの外壁や尖塔に向けて爆薬を投擲して、さらなる混乱を呼び寄せましょう。 「......王女のことはいいのでしょうか?」

"Make some chaos, everyone!" I told my familiars, who instantly started throwing high level magic left and right. I also started throwing explosives around the castle, creating loud explosions, breaking multiple walls and causing damage to multiple rooms. "What's happening!?" One guard shouted. "Is his majesty safe!?" A third one exclaimed. By making this much noise, Yuu and Maria should probably understand that the king is already dead and will probably react appropriately. ... The gagged princess tried to say something, but I couldn't really understand anything, "This won't last much longer, so please be a bit more patient, alright?" after telling her that, I kept on moving while ignoring her protests. "Y-your highness!?" Another said as he noticed who I was carrying. I used my threads to quickly cut off the limbs of the guards that tried getting in my way and continued moving. They shouted in pain as they realized what just happened to them, but I ignored that. Rather, I was more curious to see if I could still gain experience from this battle even though I gained some levels just a small while back from killing the maid, maybe there is a time lag that stops it from happening... Let's use this as an experiment and kill as many as possible in the meanwhile. "How dare you cause all this commotion!?" One guard said. "Release the princess at once!" Another shouted. "If you take one more step-" A third one started saying, but I threw a bunch of explosives at them with <Meteor Shower> and blew them all up. As I jumped outside, I threw more explosives around to create more chaos, and to change my momentum mid-air so as to not free fall all the way to the ground. Then, some arrows started raining down from above, "Is it really okay to attack me like that while I hold the princess?" I wondered out loud as I blocked them. Perhaps some of the factions within the castle don't mind hurting her due to the internal conflict for the succession of the throne... Well, for now, "Let me return the favor."

251.一条玲奈の日常その12 「──これより〝第一回玲奈さんを追求する会〟を始めたいと思います」 レンズの部分に渦巻き模様が刷り込まれた、如何にもな眼鏡を掛けた結城さんが食堂の長テーブルの端で肘をついて組んだ手を顔の前に持っていき、何やら重役っぽいポーズを取りながらそんな事を宣言しだしました。 そんな結城さんの横では同じく変な眼鏡を掛けた舞さんが「すちゃっ! はい拍手! ドンドンパフパフ〜!」なんて言って場を盛り上げようと......? していますね。 本当にお二人は仲が良いようで何よりです。 「......なんで俺らまで」 「まぁ面白そうだし良くない?」 「アンタが私たちの中で一番気にしてたじゃない」 そんな横の二人を不思議そうに見ていると、対面に座った さんでしたか......そのお二方が正樹さんを窘めます。 長テーブルの端の方......上座に結城さんと舞さんが並んで座り、彼らから見て左側に私が、その私の対面に正樹さん達のパーティーメンバーが勢揃いして座っている形になります。 ......最初はバランスが悪いですし、私の所にも何人か座れば良いのにと思っていましたが、どうやら私は何かを追求されるらしいですね。 「シャラップ! 黙りなさい! 発言をする時は挙手をするように!」 「この二人って確か一条さんとよくゲーム内に居る二人ですよね?」 「......多分?」 「......二人共秩序陣営だったと思うが」 何処から取り出したのか、ピコピコハンマーでテーブルを叩きながら結城さんが私語を咎め、その横で舞さんがノートに「ハンネス 私語 一点」と書き込んでいるのが見えますね。 どうやら二人は本気? の様ですね。 「それにほらほらぁ〜、ハンネスくぅ〜んはレーナさんを叱ってやるんでしょ?」 「──また叱り飛ばしてやるから覚悟しておけ、でしたかハンネスくぅ〜ん」 それに対して正樹さんは青筋を立てながら大声を出しているので......これは多分怒っているのでしょうか? しかしながら今のやり取りが親しい者同士の掛け合いと呼ばれるあれであるのか、ただ単に親睦を深めようとしているのか、普通に失礼な言動に対して怒っているのかが分かりません......怒っていたとしても「あ、いや、そんなに怒ってないから」みたいな事もあると聞きます。 ......確かにあの時の正樹さんの発言は少しばかり嬉しかった様な気がしますね。 「正樹さん、正樹さん」 ですがまぁ、叱られないという事は私は現時点ではまだ何も間違ってはいないという事でしょうから、前向きに考えましょう。 「それで? 私を追求するとは?」 何か追求されてしまう様な事をしてしまいましたかね......一つ前の小休憩の時の『遊び』は痕跡を残していませんし、私を狙ったロシアからの諜報員もあの男が私に監視のために付けた黒服達が対応しました。 舞さんのその指摘に対して、何故か正樹さんが反応して膝を思いっ切りテーブルにぶつけていたのを首を傾げながら見れば、そっと目を逸らされます。 まぁ彼の事は今は脇に置いておいて、九条先輩と逢い引きですか......逢い引きとは確か男女が人目を忍んで会うという意味の言葉でしたね。 皆さんの反応の意味がさっぱり分からなくて困惑しますし、正樹さんは二回もぶつけてて少し注意力が散漫になっているのではないかと訝しんでしまいますね。 「そ、それってやっぱり......?」 「先輩と一緒に居たって事は......そういう事なんですか?」 「? えぇ、そうですね? 今度彼と『遊ぶ』約束をしたんですよ」 舞さんと結城さんの問い掛けに頷き、九条先輩と『遊ぶ』約束をした事を伝えると皆さんはまるで疑惑が本当だったみたいな、そんなよく分からない反応を返して来ます。 まぁあの場面が他人に見られていたとしても特に問題になる様な事は無かったと思いますが......何故に皆さん変な反応を返すのでしょうか。 「ど、何処に遊びに行くんですか? やっぱり定番の映画や遊園地とかですか?」 「? 映画や遊園地なんてありましたっけ?」 もしや他のプレイヤーの方が作ったとかですかね......それならまぁ有り得ますか、地球の料理を再現している人も居ましたし。 「あ、そっかそっか、玲奈さんはそういうの詳しくないんだっけ......」 「そもそも何処で『遊ぶ』のかはまだ決まってないんですよね......彼の方から一方的に宣言されてそれっきりですし、細かく段取りを決めるものでもないでしょう」 「なるほど、一条ちゃんはその時に行きたい場所に行くタイプなのね」 小休憩の時間自体があまり残ってませんでしたし、細かく段取りを決めるものでもないでしょう......そう言うと、希美さんが微笑ましいものを見る目で訳知り顔で頷いてきます。 本当に、皆さんいったいどうしてしまったんでしょうね? こういう時に『普通』を知らないと困ってしまいすね。 「? そうですね、初めての時も彼が上から降ってきて宣戦布告をして来ましたね」 それこそ正樹さんが私に叱ってくれると言ってくれた、あの帝都の時の事ですね。 急に帝城の天井を突き破って降りてきたかと思えば、そのまま 「......ちょっと待て、お前はいったい何を言っている? 九条先輩やらと恋人関係になったからデートする訳じゃねぇのか?」 「でぇと? ......何の話ですか?」 いったい正樹さんはどうしたと言うのでしょうか、いきなり突拍子もない事を言い始めて......先ほども連続してテーブルに膝をぶつけていましたし、少し体調が優れないのでしょうか? ふむ、この様子は......どうやら私の方が間違っているみたいですね。 「え、えっと、玲奈さん? 九条先輩とはいったいどういう関係で?」 「どういう関係......いずれ絶対に壊したい相手、ですかね」 「んんッ! ......で? その九条先輩って奴はナニモンなんだよ」 「おや、正樹さんも会った事がございますよね? 絶対不可侵領域のエルさんですよ」 彼のパーティーメンバーの方々も痛ましいものを見る目で正樹さんを見ている様ですし、これだけは当たっていると思うんですよね。 一瞬だけ息を飲み、そして再度大きくため息を吐き出した正樹さんは私の目をしっかりと見詰め返し、そしてまた逸らしながら口を開きます。 「そう、ですか?」 それっきり、口をへの字に結んだまま黙っている正樹さんを見詰めているとチャイムが鳴り、お昼休みが終わってしまいました。

Chapter 251: Ichijouji Reina's Daily Life - twelve "Then, I'd like to start the first meeting to pursue Reina." Yuuki said. Yuuki was wearing a glass with a swirl pattern imprinted on its lens. He put his elbows on top of the long table and his hands in front of his face. While making this executive-like post, he made such a declaration. Next to Yuuki, Mai, who also wore the same strange glasses, said, "Alright! Applause, everyone!" then started clapping her hands. Those two really do get along well, don't they? "Why with us...?" Masaki asked. "Well, it looks interesting, so why not?" One of Masaki's male friends replied. "You're the one that cares the most about it, you know?" One of Masaki's female friends said. Masaki looked back and forth between the two people sitting next to him, and he seemed to sigh out of frustration. And those two were... Kenji, the spearman, and Nozomi, the mage, right? At the end of the long table, Yuuki and Mai are sitting side by side. I am sitting to their left, while Masaki and his party members are in front of me. At first I thought this sitting arrangement was too unbalanced and that it would be better to have some people sitting next to me, but apparently this is a meeting to pursue me? So there seems to be a reason behind this arrangement. "Shut up! Shut up! Raise your hand when you wish to speak!" Yuuki hit the table with a toy hammer. "These two are the ones who are often with Ichijouji in-game, right...?" Sakura muttered. "Maybe...?" Miki replied. "... I think they were both Order players too." Masaki murmured. Yuuki started hitting the table harder with his toy hammer, while Mai started writing something on a notebook titled 'Hannes' Secret Talk'. Seems like the two of them are serious about this? They seem to be at least. "So? Little Hannes, you are going to scold Rena again, right?" Mai suddenly stated. "'I'll scold you again next time', wasn't it, Little Hannes?" Yuuki said. And Masaki's shout was pretty loud, so... Is he angry perchance? However, I'm not sure what this exchange means. Could it be a dialogue between close friends who are trying to deepen their friendship? Or is he just angry at a rude behavior? ... I think Masaki's remarks from that time made me a bit happy. "Masaki, Masaki." I called his attention. Though not being scolded means I haven't made any mistakes at the moment, so let's look at it as a good thing. "So, what is this pursuing me thing?" I decided to ask. Did I do something that would make me need to be pursued? I left no trace of the 'play' I did on yesterday's lunch break, and the foreign intelligence officer that was aiming at me has also been taken care of already. I glanced towards Masaki and saw that he seemed to have hit his knee hard against the table... Right now, he seemed to be averting his eyes and not meeting my gaze. Well, putting him aside from now, I certainly met senior Kujou... Though a secret rendezvous? I guess we were both a man and a woman meeting up in a secluded place, so I suppose it counts? I'm confused because I can't understand everyone's reaction at all... And I also don't get what is distracting Masaki so much to the point he'd hit his knee twice. "I, I see... So that's how it is...?" Yuuki muttered. "You're together with senior... Is that it?" Mai asked. "Yes? I promised to 'play' with him next time." I replied. Once I said those words, everyone had a bit of a strange reaction. Something that seemed to mean that their suspicions were correct. Even if our meeting was seen, I don't think there was any problem with it though? Why is everyone showing strange reactions? "Where are you going to play? At a movie theater or at an amusement park?" Nozomi asked. "Were there any movie theaters or amusement parks though?" I asked back. Maybe another player made it? I suppose it might be possible. There were people who were able to replicate modern cuisine, after all. "Ah, Reina isn't familiar with this kind of thing..." Mai muttered. "To begin with, we didn't decide where to 'play' yet. It was just a one-sided declaration from him, and we didn't make any detailed arrangements." I told them. "I see, Ichijouji is the type to go to wherever the other party wants to go to." Miki said. There just wasn't much time left on the lunch break, and we didn't really need to arrange anything particularly detailed. What's going on with everyone? Not understanding what is 'normal' at these times is troubling. "A thing? Well, we first met when he fell from above and declared war on me." I replied. It was on that time at the Empire's capital, when Masaki said he'd scold me. He suddenly broke through the castle's ceiling and came down. We then exchanged a few happy words and started 'playing'. "... Wait, hold on, what are you talking about? Aren't you in a lovers relationship with senior Kujou? Didn't you two decide to go on a date?" Masaki suddenly asked me. "Uhn... What are you talking about?" I asked back. Masaki said something really outrageous just now, and a small while back he was hitting his knees on the table, so... Could he be sick? Hmm... When taking those reactions into account, I guess I'm wrong in my assessment of Masaki's state. "U-uhn... Reina, just what kind of relationship do you have with senior Kujou then?" Mai asked me. "What kind of relationship? "H-huh...? W-wait, who is senior Kujou?" Masaki asked me. "Oh, you've him before, Masaki. It's Jeru, the Absolutely Inviolable Area." I replied. Masaki's party members seem to be looked at him with a pained gaze, so I guess something is troubling him right now. Masaki took a deep breath, then heaved another sigh. "Is that so?" I replied. As I stared at Masaki, who had gone completely silent, the bell rang, signaling the end of the lunch break.

人が家族面をする不快感」 背中から落ちてくる少年が自身の胸の高さまで来たところで肘を腹に打ち付けながら膝で腰を穿ち、首を掴んで壁に投げ飛ばし、震えながら弓に矢を番えようとする少女の胸を勢いを付けて踏み付ける。 彼らの求める近況報告とやらでその行いを全否定します。歩み寄って仲良くなど......そんなものは私には無理です、出来ません。......二人が何かした訳でもない事は理解していますが許せません。感情が、心情が納得しないのです......彼らの顔を見る度に寂しそうな母の顔が脳裏に浮かんで、自分でもどうしようもなくなってしまいます。......たとえ、大元の原因が私自身だったとしても。 「どうです? 私の思いは分かったでしょう? このまま諦め──」 なんだか無性に苛立ってしまいます......尚も言い募る彼女の顔面を淡々と殴打して、殴打しますが......最後に叫びながら再度、私の肩を矢で貫く。肩から噴き出す私の血でさらに彼女の顔が汚れる。 「ゲホッ......近況報告その三。押し掛けて申し訳なく思ってはいる......けれど、それ以外に言葉を交わす方法は思いつかなかった」 そうですか、あの男に挑むような気概でしたか......私だったらどうしてたでしょうね? まぁ関係ありませんし、理解できませんが......私は私の気持ちしか把握できません。予想はできてもそれだけなんですよ、あなた達がどのような気持ちや覚悟で私にぶつかって来ようとも......どれだけ想像してみても......分からないんですよッ!! 少年に括りつけた糸を引っ張って反対側の壁へと叩き付ける......気絶の状態異常のアイコンが浮き出たのを尻目に少女の髪を掴んでその後頭部を地面へと打ち付け、このまま彼女の頭を── 少女の頭を掴んだまま動きが止まる、少年を縛る糸が緩む......頭が脈打つほどに血が上り、視界が赤く染まり狭まる。唇が震え、呼吸が浅くなり、鼓動が早くなる。 『WARNING:心拍数が急激に上昇しています。ログアウト推奨』 視界の端に警告文が出ているのにさえ気付かず、警告文を淡々と読み上げる〝ニコちゃんさん〟の声すら遠くの......誰かの話し声のように現実味がなく......ただ彼女の口元を注視する。 「──おんや? そこにいらっしゃるのはジェノサイダー殿ではありませんか?! 吾輩、歓喜のマッスルポーズ!!」 背後から聞いた事がある男性の声が降りかかり、思わずゆっくりと振り返る......そこにはいつもと変わらず、目に毒な......母が見たなら赤面して卒倒しそうな格好のプレイヤーが一人、己の大胸筋を強調しながら立って居ました。

I then used my shadows to throw the boy high up in the sky, and used the threads to pull the girl closer to me. I punched her face as soon as she arrived, "Fact #4: I'm not comfortable with strangers trying to talk to me as if we were family." As the boy fell, I hit my elbow against his abdomen, his hips with my knee, then held him by the neck and threw him at a wall. Meanwhile, the girl was trembling, but trying to put an arrow on her bow, so I kicked her belly, "Fact #5: I'm absolutely unable to get along with you two." This should be enough, right? I answered their question while making it clear that we cannot grow closer, and that I do not want to get closer. I understand that they did nothing wrong, but I cannot forgive them. I can't accept being with them, not when I feel such strong emotions whenever I see their face... Because then, I remember mom's lonely face every time I look at them... Even if I know I was the cause of mom's loneliness. "You understand it right? So give up-" As I said this, the girl cut me. I started punching her face over and over again, but she still squeezed up some words in-between each punch, "Fact #2: I was looking... really forward to having... a sister-in-law!" It was really annoying that she didn't stop talking even as I punched her. Moreover, she pierced another arrow at my shoulder, and the blood that spilled from me fell on her face, making her even uglier, "Fact #3: I'm sorry... to use such a forceful approach... but I couldn't think of... any other way that... could let me... have an opportunity... to talk to you." Of course there was no other way, I purposefully avoided them, ignored them, and made it as clear as possible that there was no relationship between us. Does that mean she actually had the guts to challenge that man as he tried to teach her how to eventually succeed him in his job? That... It doesn't matter. I don't need to understand her feelings, and don't need to try thinking of what was their exact interaction... It doesn't change my feelings, and it doesn't matter if they tried getting closer, it doesn't matter what I imagine, it doesn't, it doesn't... I don't get it! I pulled the boy with my threads and slammed him against another wall. I grabbed the girl's hair, and slammed her head on the ground, then- I couldn't move. The threads binding the boy got loose. My blood was rushing to my head; my heart was beating faster and louder; my vision was getting red and narrower; I was trembling; it was hard to breathe... <Warning: Heart Rate is raising above safe levels, immediate logout is recommended> I could hardly comprehend the system warning I heard just now. It felt like such a faraway and quiet sound... Differently from what the girl just said... Those unbelievable words that came from her mouth... Suddenly though, a voice came from above, "Oh, Genocider! What a delight to see you!" I looked up, and saw that there was someone jumping from the top of a building, and that would soon arrive here... The Perverted Gentleman was here.

「......それは本当か?」 「えぇそうです、戦争を起こします」 「なんでまた?」 「......聞きたいんですか?」 疑問の表情を浮かべて質問してくるエレンさんに聞き返すと、こちらを怯えた目で震えながら拒否されました......私ってそんなに怖い顔してますかね? 自分で言うのもアレですが、母に似て割と整っているとは思うのですが......。 「......少しだけ自信が無くなりそうですね」 「なにがだ?」 「いいえ別に......まぁ、というわけで皇帝を呼んでも、というより誰を呼んでもいいですよ?」 「......居なくなっても一番影響が少ない奴は誰だっけ?」 ......おや? これも違ったようですね? さらに頭を抱えて部下の方に胃薬と頭痛薬を取りに行かせてますね。 「いったい何が不満──」 「──敵襲ー!!」 なにやら騒がしいですね......それに敵襲? まだ帝国とは連絡は取れていないはずですが......他に領主館を襲うほどの勢力は......今はちょっと思い付きませんね。中央政府は今混乱の極みでしょうし、軍を集めるのも動かすのも時間がかかりますから数日でここを襲うのは無理でしょう......辺境派遣軍も壊滅させたばかりですし。 「報告! 敵の正体は渡り人! 全容は未だ不明、どれぐらいの規模かはまだ把握できておりません!」 おや? プレイヤーの皆さんがここを襲っているのですか......彼らの大半は秩序か中立であり、最近増えた混沌勢力もまだそんなに育ち切ってはいないと伺いましたが? ここを襲う秩序的な理由でもあるんですかね? 「彼らは声明を発表しております! ......王国を混乱に陥れ、いと麗しきエルマーニュ王国第一王女を不当に攫った貴殿らを許しはしない......ここに秩序の鉄槌を下す......とのことです!」 なるほど、なるほど......? ユウさんにこんな大胆なことができるとは思えませんし、マリアさん......あなたの手配ですね? ユウさんも色々と協力や助力はしているでしょうがあの方はヘタレですから、いるのかわかりませんが攻略組トップたちと交渉なんてできないでしょう。 「......中々に楽しませてくれるじゃありませんか?」 「......壊れてるのは元からか」 勝利条件と敗北条件を明確にしましょう......こちらの敗北条件は王女の奪還、ないしせっかく作った傀儡領主であるエレンさんを排除されること......既に『遊び』の計画に遅れが出ていますがそれは構いません。次に勝利条件ですがこれは単純です。彼らを全滅もしくは戦意喪失させるまで殺し続けること......初動を取られた時点でこちらが圧倒的に不利ですね。 「さて、全軍私の指揮下に入りなさい」 「......軍の指揮までできんのかよ......どこぞの王族でも無理だぞ?」 いやだって、確かに私が掲示板とか駆使してプレイヤーたちに呼び掛けたよ? 一種のプレイヤーイベントだー、とか煽ったよ? 一条さんを最高に楽しませるために頑張ったよ? ......でもね? 「私も陰の者なんだよなぁ......」 「レーナさんと仲良くなるなら関係ないから......」 あの織田が......自分の趣味のことになると途端にそれまでの優しさと配慮が無くなって空気が読めなくなる織田が......オタクを隠しているつもりでも好きなことになるとついつい声が大きく早口になっちゃう織田が......すごく、遠い目で声を震わせてる......私、震え声っていうのを生で初めて聞いたよ......。 「......『宴会魔術』と『DQN魔術』だっけ?」 「それに最近『公共魔術』で《放送》てのも習得したから」 「......君のスキル本当に謎」 「皆さん、この度はお集まりいただきましてありがとうございます」 「嬢ちゃん堅いよ〜!」 「もっと気楽に〜!」 煩いよ! こっちは慣れないことしてるんだから少しは大目に見てよ! くぅ〜......プレイヤーの戯れ言は放っておこう、無視だ無視。 「本当にそんなことできんのか〜?」 「まぁ、楽しむだけ楽しめばよくね?」 「勝てなくても別にいいしな」 当然そんなことを言ったって、一条さんの実績は大きく、わかりやすく、一条さんは倒せないとプレイヤー達の半ば常識となりつつあるため皆どこか気楽な雰囲気がある......だから── 「じゃあどうしろってんだよ」 「勝てる秘策はあるんだよな?」 「なんだよ、やっぱり無理じゃねぇか」 「今ここにジェノサイダーを討つための宣言をします! 勝っても負けても本気であるならば、我々はゲーマーとしての誇りを取り戻せる!」 あぁ、ダメだ......陰の者である私にはやはりキツイ、気持ち悪い、吐きそう......こんなに大勢の視線に晒されて演説しなきゃいけないなんて、私は前世でとんでもない悪事を働いたに違いない。

"... Are you serious?" Eren asked. "Yes, I will start a war." I replied. "Why are you doing this again?" He asked. "... You really want to me to explain myself?" I told him. "I see." I wondered why he seemed so scared, was my face that frightening? I think it's a pretty clean face, just like mom's. "I'm just... A bit worried." He commented. "About what?" I asked. "It's just... Who are we even going to talk to in order to declare the war? The emperor?" He asked back. "Who will be least impacted by his death?" I asked him. His reaction was strange though, I'm letting him decide on things, but instead of finding a solution, he keeps holding his head while thinking of something. He even gives this kind of reaction when I make simple questions about what we're eating for dinner today... Oh well, it doesn't matter either way, "If you can't think of anyone, just go for the person with the highest position available." "It just keeps getting worse..." He then asked his subordinate to fetch some stomachache and headache medicine, he really asks for those a lot. "Is there something that's bothering you?" I asked. Before he could answer though, one of his subordinates barged into the room while shouting, "Enemies are attacking us!" That's weird, we didn't contact the empire yet, so they shouldn't have attacked us, yet I can't think of any other force that would start an attack. The kingdom's government should be in turmoil and unable to properly organize a rescue operation in this little time... Even their battalion near the frontier is gone now, so what could they possibly do? The person making the announcement clarified before I asked, "Sir! The enemies are Migrants, though we do not know the size of their full force just yet!" "Migrants!?" Eren asked in disbelief... So the players are the ones attacking us. Could this be because they're trying to restore the order in this city? I suppose it would make sense when considering that the Order faction is the biggest one. "They have also made an announcement, 'We will not forgive the ones who created chaos in the kingdom and kidnapped the princess!' that's all that they said, sir!" The subordinate continued. I started laughing out loud, "Did she break?" Eren asked, but I ignored it. I finally understood it after all. Yuu wouldn't be able to be this bold, so this must be Maria's doing... Yuu might still be cooperating from the shadows, but he wouldn't be able to talk directly to the top players, so this must be her doing. "... Isn't this joyful?" I asked Eren. "... Of course, you have always been broken." He replied. Let's ignore that and focus on the matter at hand. For now, I should try thinking of what they would be aiming for. Their victory should come if they save the princess, obviously. Though it would probably would be enough to just kill Eren, since he is the one that is controlling this city right now. However, It would be a real shame to lose this puppet that I obtained with much effort. "Well, let's use the entire army under my command now." I said. "... Can you even give them proper orders? To think we'd fight such a deadly battle for the sake of a member of the royal family..." Eren asked with teary eyes, while trying to organize a defense plan with our troops. "Well, you were the one that called them..." He replied. I mean, I did use the forums to call as many players as possible, so as to make an event that would entertain miss Ichijouji to the fullest, but still... "I'm also a person that lives in the shadows, you know?" I told him. "So it's fine if you don't entertain Rena?" He asked me. "... You sure hit low." That Oda, he really doesn't hold back at all sometimes. Though right now he seemed to be trembling just from the presence of all those players that will soon be paying attention to us, it's the first time I see him like that... I guess it can't be helped that he can't make the speech himself... Even though he can easily speak non-stop when talking about otaku matters. "You'll be using <Party Magic> and <Dumbass Magic>, right?" I asked him. "That, and also the <Broadcast> spell from <Public Magic> that I learned recently." He replied. "... Your skills are way too weird." I told him. He is always unpredictable when playing games, but that's why it doesn't get boring to be near him, so it's not really a problem. I took a deep breath and then asked him, "Well, you're coming too, right?" "Thank you all for coming here." I told them. "Your voice is too loud!" A player said. "Tone it down!" Another said. ... So annoying! I'm not used to using this kind of magic! Let's not bother with them and focus. Focus... "Everyone knows why we're here, to get get revenge against the Genocider." "Is that even doable?" Someone said. "Well, we should just enjoy it." Another said. "It should be fine even if we lose." A third one said. ... Of course, miss Ichijouji achievements are nothing short of amazing, it's no wonder that it became common sense that she is invincible, so everyone is just taking things easy. "Alright, what are we doing?" Someone seemed motivated. "Is there some secret plan that will make us win?" Another was a bit doubtful. "Wait, isn't it impossible then?" They're losing morale... "Here is a declaration of war against the Genocider! Here is a war for revenge! Show her that we can win! Show her your pride as gamers! "Show... What is order to this world!" This feels horrible, I'm about to vomit, I'm not the kind of person that is suited to making speeches... I must have made something terrible in my previous life to accumulate enough bad karma to make me do this...

「お嬢様、荷物が届いております」 学校から帰ってきて開口一番に家令である山本さんからそう言われる。確か今日だったか......忙しくて忘れていた。けど楽しみにしていたのは事実、内心のワクワクを隠して私は応じる。 「わかりました、ありがとう存じます」 そのまま山本さんは一礼して去っていく......さて、私も部屋に戻って準備しますかね! 私こと一条玲奈は日本の華族である一条公爵家の長女です。 家柄に相応しい淑女たれとこの厳しい家庭環境にて育てられてきました。そんな生活は嫌いでしたし、なにより小さい頃から父の私と話す時の道具を見るかのような目が特に大嫌いでした......多分というか確信が持てますけど父も私のことが嫌いだったのだろうと思います、自分で言うのもどうかとは思いますが私はどこかおかしかったですから......。 小さい頃にアリの巣に水をいれたり、虫を捕まえて戦わせたりした経験がある人は多いのではないかと思いますが、私はそれを人に対して、それも躊躇や遠慮、際限が無く行っていました。 今にして思えば人目のある所でやるなんて......と思いますが、そこは若気の至りと言いますか、小さい子供だったのでしょうがないとしか言えません。 そんな私にいつも『普通』を教え諭してくれる母が好きでした。私がやりすぎる前に止めてくれて、『正しい行い』というのを丁寧に優しく教えてくれていまして、何かあったらまず母に相談するように言ってくれました。 今にして思えば、母は一人娘である私の将来が心配だったのだろうなと自分のことながらに思います。 そんな私に転機が訪れたのは小学校に上がってからでした。子供というのは残酷なもので『異物』に敏感です。客観的に見て整った母譲りの容姿に、綺麗な濡れ羽色の黒髪。『みんな』と違うキャラや戦隊物の服や最新の子供服ではなく、ちゃんと1から仕立てられた一目で高いとわかる洋服。 この程度ならまだみんな「すごいね」「可愛いね」で済んだでしょう......ですが私は『普通』ではありませんでした。子供ながらに......いえ、子供だからでしょう、敏感にそこに気付いていたのでしょう。入学からそう時を置かずに、私という『異物』を排除するためにイジメが始まりました。 ですがこの時、私はこれをイジメと認識せずに自分がしてる『いつもの遊び』だと思ってしまったのです。物を隠されれば隠した本人の物を目の前で燃やし、押し倒されたら前歯が折れるまで押した相手を殴り続け、悪口を言われたのなら相手の口に虫を入れ顎を叩き上げ咀嚼させるなど、枚挙に暇がありませんでした。 そんなことが続き誰も私に近づかなくなった頃たまたま職員室前を通りがかった時です。母の謝罪の声が聞こえたのは......なぜ母が謝罪しているのかその時はわかりませんでしたがなんとなく、『自分が悪いのだろうな』と感じたものです。 大好きな母が理由はわからないけど自分のせいで嫌な思いをしている......それだけで悔しくなり立ち尽くしていました。職員室から出てきた母は目の前のそんな私にびっくりしたような表情をして、それから微笑んで―――― 『帰ろっか? 』 それから私は『遊び』をしなくなりました。何かあっても淑女らしく微笑み受け流して、決して自分を出さない、自分がおかしいことに気づく年齢になれば尚更その傾向は強まりました。 父はますます私を無機質な目で見てくるようになり母にも辛く当たっていたようですが、当の母が微笑み私を暖かい目で見てくるのでまだ我慢はできました。 ですが、母が癌にかかりそれから数年もせず亡くなると、父はそのまま浮気相手と再婚し、あろうことか腹違いの妹と弟まで連れてきました。『あぁ、このままだと遊んでしまうな』と直感した私は、父の関心がないのを幸いとばかりに屋敷の離れに母の部屋の家具と一緒に移り住みました。 父は腹違いの妹と弟を可愛がるばかりで、私に対する興味などとうの昔に無くしていましたので、何も言ってはきませんでした。 ですが、今までの心の支えであった母がなくなり、自分の中の『異常』と折り合いをつけるのが難しくなるのは死活問題で、こればかりはどうしようもありません。何かないものかと様々な紛争地域や国の刑法などを調べていくうちに、端の方にオンラインゲームの広告があるのが目に付きました。 興味を惹かれるがままに調べていくと、今の私に丁度いいというのと、サービス開始間近というのもあって即購入しました。それが今日届いたのです。 「やっと届きましたね、カルマ・ストーリー・オンライン! サービス自体は昨日のうちに始まってますけどまだ許容範囲内ですね」 カルマ・ストーリー・オンライン、通称『KSO』はプレイヤー自身の行動によってカルマ値というものが変動し、最終的に秩序、混沌、中立の三つの陣営に所属することになる新作VRMMORPGです。所属と言っても具体的な組織や国に加入しない限りなにかしなければならないことがあるわけでもないですが、NPCたちからは犯罪者や聖人の如く扱われたり、施設の利用制限、なれるクラスやなれないクラスなど色々と関わってくる重要な値です。 このゲームは最初から自分で所属する陣営は選べず、カルマ値もプレイヤーがゲームをプレイしていくうちにNPCに対する態度、ゲームの攻略状況、特定の国や組織に対する貢献度などで上下するために、まだ始まりの街周辺から動けてないプレイヤーたちはそのほぼ全員が中立でしょう。 「もうサービス開始から1日以上経過してるし、もしかしたら既に中立から脱してる人もいるかもだけど...」 そしてなにより公式ホームページにて、運営はゲーム内のハッキングやセクハラ行為などの現実の法に抵触しない限り、如何なる言動をも黙認すると書いてあるのがいいです。ここなら『遊び』ができると考えたのが一番の決め手です。 自分の行動次第で自身の立ち位置が変わるというのが、最初から自分の意思など関係なく立ち位置も明白に定められた家庭環境とは正反対であり、自分には酷く魅力的に映ったのもあるし、日頃の鬱憤をリアルではできない手段でゲームで発散してしまおうというわけです。 「さてと、インストールも終わったし早速プレイしましょう! 」 トイレも行ったし水分補給も大丈夫、微かに母の匂いがする気がするベッドに横たわりいそいそと最新型の薄い輪っかのようなヘッドディスプレイを被り、ゲームアイコンを視線操作で選択、そのままログインです。

[My lady, I have received the package.] As soon as I came back from school, the first person I met was Yamamoto-san, a butler of my household. If I remember correctly, it's today, huh... I was too busy and had forgotten about it. But in truth, I was looking forward to it and concealed my inner excitement. [Understood, thank you very much] Yamamoto-san immediately leave without saying a single word... Well then, I will also go back to my room and prepare it! I, Ichijou Reina, am the eldest daughter of the Duke Ichijou's household which is one of Japanese aristocrat families. I've been raised in this tough family environment and taught adequate manners of a lady that is appropriate for the family. I hate this kind of life since I was a child, especially those eyes, as if they saw a tool when talking to me with the intention of approaching my father... maybe, or should I say, I believe that my father also hates me. I have thought about it myself, but I'm still not sure where did I do wrong.... I think that there are not so many people have had the experience of pouring water to the ant's nest or catching insects and make them fight when they were a child. However, for me, there was no limit of hesitation as well as restraint to do those kind of stuff. Thinking that I had done it in the public gaze is too bizarre for the current me..., but I can say for sure that it will still be regarded as a youthful indiscretion due to the fact that I was only a small child. That is why, I liked my mother who always taught me to be {normal} . She will stop me before I overdid it, taught me carefully and kindly about {righteous conduct} , and told me to consult with her if something happened. When I think about it now, my mother was probably worried about my future while thinking about me, who is her only daughter. It was after I got into elementary school that I came to such a turning point. Children are cruel and sensitive to {strange object} . A beautiful wet feather-colored black hair that has the same appearance with her mother. Not wearing common {everyone's} clothes or latest children's clothes, but instead western clothes that was made from the scratch and proved to be expensive at a glance. While being a child......no, probably because, I, was a child, excluding the time when we enrolled, I noticed that I have started to bully those so-called {strange object} . But at this time, I did not realized that this was a bullying and thought that it was just {a regular play} like what I always do. Hiding people's things and burned it in front of them, pushing someone down until his/her front teeth are broken, and if they complained, I will put insects inside their mouth and forced them to chew. There was no free time for me. Such thing continued on and on until no one wants to get close to me. Then, it happened when I passed the staff room. I could hear my mother apologizing... though, I did not know what she was apologizing for but I felt that {I have probably done something wrong} . With only that much, I became frustrated and stood still. My mother who just came out from the staff room, saw me right in front of her and surprised. But, she then eventually smiled and said, {Wanna go home?} And from then on, I stopped {playing} . Even if something happened I ward it off with a girlish smile and I never give myself in. As my age grew older and older, I have noticed that I was strange. My father sees me more and more with cold eyes and seems to always hit my mother harshly. But my mother still endured and looked at me with warm eyes. However, when my mother suffered from cancer and died after a few years of battling it, my father immediately remarried with his cheating partner and even brought in her daughter and son. My intuition told me, {Aah, if I let this be, I will eventually play with them} , thus I moved away along with my mother's furniture from her room in the mansion. Fortunately, my father was not interested to what I was doing. My father only doted his step-daughter (little sister) and son (little brother), and had already lost interest in me a long time ago, hence he said nothing to me. However, it was a life-and-death matter for me. The reason being was, my mother, who used to be the support of my heart, was nowhere beside me and it was difficult to come to terms with the {abnormality} in me. As I examined the various conflict regions and the criminal laws of this country, I stumbled upon s for online games towards the end. I got intrigued and investigated it a little bit more, and bought it immediately as it was just right for the current me and the service was also about to be opened. [It's finally arrived, Karma Story Online! The service itself had just started yesterday but it's still within the acceptable range.] Karma Story Online, commonly known as {KSO} , is a new VRMMORPG which the players themselves are the ones who could change their karma value depending their own actions. Then, they will eventually belong to one of the three factions, order, chaos and neutral. Although I said factions, there is nothing that you need to do such as belonging to a specific organization or country. NPCs will be treated as criminals or saints, and there would be important cost for your decision, such as restrictions on a certain facilities, classes that can be picked or cannot be picked, etc. In this game, you can not select the side you belong to from the beginning. The karma value changes while the players play the game as it relies on his/her attitude toward NPCs, conquest method, contribution to a specific country or organization, etc. [It's been more than a day since the service started, maybe some people are already out of the neutral faction...] And above all, on the official website, it was written that the admins will tolerate any speech or behavior unless it violates the real laws such as cracking or sexual harassment in the game. I think that this place is the best choice for {playing} . The fact that one's standing position changes depending on one's actions is contrary to my home environment where as my standing position is clearly defined from the beginning regardless of my own intention, thus it has drawn me in as it's an extremely attractive offer for me. It seems that this game is also a way to release all of the resentment and frustration which cannot be done in real life. [Okay then, the installation has already finished, so let's play right away!] As I already went to the toilet and well hydrated, I lied down on the bed which has a faint smell of mother, and excitedly crowned myself with the head monitor which similar to a thin halo.

「まだ近くに居るはずだ! 織田と合流する前に探し出せ!」 口を両手で抑える事で乱れる息を漏らさないようにしながら必死に隠れる......クソう、毎年毎年なんなんだよぉ! そんなにチョコが欲しいなら常日頃から女子に優しくしとけよなぁ! 「どうしたの?」 「一部の男子たちがね? 私のチョコを奪おうと──」 が入っているカバンを隠す様にして両手で抱き抱える。 「う、うっす......」 「うるせぇ! 健人は黙ってろ!」 むむっ、確かに正樹さんの耳が真っ赤になってる......ゲームでハンネスとして豪快に斧を振り回して戦う姿とは似ても似つかない。 「............ま、そうだろうとは思ってたがな」 ぷぷぷ、玲奈さんが早々に恋愛なんてする訳ないじゃーん! ......玲奈さんにも好きな人が出来るんだろうか? 全く想像がつかないんだけど。 「うん、今年も舞の義理チョコは美味いよ」 「........................モテない陰キャ野郎に毎年恵んでやってんだから有難く思いなさい!」 「ははぁ! ありがたき幸せ!」 本当に美味しそうに頬を緩めながら食べてくれるユウの横顔を見るのは何だか気恥ずかしくなってきちゃって......なんとなしに目を逸らす。 「......あ、ごめん。そういえば寒いって言ってたね」

"She should be nearby! Find her before she reunites with Oda!" Another exclaimed. ... Why is it like this every year!? You should try being kind to the girls you want chocolate from, not pursue them! And why don't you go ask Reina for chocolate instead of me!? She is far more beautiful than me anyways! "What's up?" She asked me. "Some boys are trying to steal my chocolate..." I explained. "W-whoa!?" And then, I exclaimed this, as he wrapped the scarf that he had been wearing just a few seconds ago around my neck. "Huh?" He asked. "Shut up, Kenji!" Masaki yelled. This super embarrassed Masaki was quite contrasting the usual Hannes I see in-game... Could he perchance like Reina? "Well... I guessed it was something like this." Masaki said with a sigh. I giggled to myself seeing that exchange. I guess it's still too early for Reina to think of romance... "Yep. Your chocolate is as delicious as ever." He replied. "Well... Be glad that a nerd like you is blessed with my homemade chocolate every year!" I exclaimed. He giggled, "Yeah, thank you. I'm truly happy right now." It was kinda embarrassing to see him happily eat my chocolate, so I averted my eyes from him. "Ah, right, you said it was too cold... Sorry about that." Yuu said.

Chapter 195: Official Bulletin Board - sixteen [Finally] Second Event Thread 1 [It's Started] This is a general chat thread. Let's write freely. However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. It's only been a few hours since it started, but what's the current situation? Hymn's Guru is making his crazy prayers in the middle of the city, and Ranka is chanting Buddhist sutras to maintain her sanity. Yeah, I have no clue what that means... If you hear Hannes screaming somewhere nearby, you're probably gonna have a bad time. By the way, who is Hymn's Guru? A veteran of Maria's faith or something? I guess they're just doing the minimum amount of crazy things necessary in order to reach the top rankings? Then I'll stay as a mid-level player for the rest of my life... You can't achieve anything without sacrifices! Forsake your humanity! Nah, that's too much. Genocider > No ethics Absolutely inviolable area > No social skills Perverted Gentleman > No shame Kinda amazing that Hannes can remain at the top while still being a pretty normal person though, isn't it? Bring this one up in front of Hannes, and he'll get angry. Are you seriously bringing up the arrow that Myra shot on the day of Genocider's debut in the game? Yeah, sure, it did pierce an NPC child, but it was the Genocider that used the child as a human shield. Also, while this still bothers Myra, the Genocider probably forgot about it already. On a side note, I don't recommend anyone doing the kind of thing that Genocider did... NPCs are a bit too humanized in this game, so it feels kinda bad to kill them whimsically. And yet, the Genocider doesn't even hesitate to kill them... I wonder if the Genocider even cared to look things up, in order to find out that NPCs don't respawn. And she doesn't slow down on her slaughter at all! Lol! Whether it's a player or an NPC, it doesn't matter! Slay them all! Lol! You what!? Did you just call lady Rena a barbarian!? I can't believe someone would say such absurdity about lady Rena... They feel more like gangsters and less like worshippers... The Genorers surely know how to be scary, lol! I wonder what they do when they actually meet up with the Genocider. At that point, it's on the lady's hands. Yeah, she'll do what she wants, as usual, and we'll watch as she slaughters everyone. ****** [As Expected] Second Event Thread 17 [Those Two] [Breaking News] Both Genocider and Absolutely Inviolable Area are invading other countries while bringing an army with them. Not to mention that they probably have no clue on how to manage an army, so they basically need to order the general around and let the general find a way of executing the commands in a sensible manner. And the princess of Absolutely Inviolable Area's country just made a speech. Never saw that princess before... Guess it's because she's from a small country, so it can't be helped. Actually, I feel like I did see her before... Huh? When? Yeah, in the Beginners' City, but... I'm pretty sure it was a player though. Maybe they're just really similar? Maybe... Or maybe something troublesome is happening.

Chapter 194: Official Bulletin Board - fifteen [That Person] Talking About Celebrities - Thread 451 [This Person] This is a general chat thread. Let's write freely. However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. Seems like we're finally getting a second official event. Why 'Official'? Was there a player-made event before this one or something? There's no way this will get more exciting than the player-made event though, lol! As if. This one has way more people playing. Btw, the people on the top of the karma rankings are kind of always the same, aren't they? And Genocider's value became even more absurd. Blossom can't even compete... > 10 There are some fluctuations within the top 20, but it's hard for new people to catch-up to the older players. Well, the top ones are definitely fixed at this point though. Order #1: Perverted Gentleman - Karma: 308 Chaos #1: Rena - Karma: -411 #1: Absolutely Inviolable Area - Karma: 0 If the top 3 ever stopped being those people, things would be really strange. > 15 The really strange thing, is having the Perverted Gentleman as the top Order player. Let's not talk about that... [Breaking News] KSO Management is actually held hostage by the Perverted Gentleman! You crazy! You're gonna get erased! And I now started imagining unpleasant things... Like the management team being embraced by the Perverted Gentleman? I bet the Perverted Gentleman is actually a serious person offline though. There was actually a case of a player using a young girl avatar confessing to him, and he actually tried giving her serious life advice when he heard that... Turns out it was just a joke confession, so they both laughed it off. That was truly a gentlemanly act... That's the top Order player alright. I'm sorry for doubting his orderliness. > 40 > 41 > 42 > 43 > 44 > 45 I got an automated e-mail from the management team saying something about 'due to a large number of reports, we...' No no, he can't do it either. A soldier arrested him just a small while ago, after all. ****** [That Person] Talking About Celebrities - Thread 459 [This Person] [Sad News] An expedition force of the Empire just had an unfortunate encounter with Absolutely Inviolable Area and is getting wiped out. > encounter with Absolutely Inviolable Area It's amazing how terrifying those words are. Let's hope he won't attack us to adjust his Karma... [Breaking News] The imperial detachment just got wiped out! I mean, Absolutely Inviolable Area also has one of those crazy passives that the Genocider has, doesn't he? Those that get them stronger the more enemies are nearby and all that. Yeah, those two are the peak solo players for sure... And they really don't care for the results of their actions, which makes it all worse. At least Genocider is purposefully a solo player... Absolutely Inviolable Area is a solo player due to the consequences of his actions. I mean, nobody will party up with the guy that backstabs you on the moment that his karma rises... Yeah, we once got our entire party wiped (except for him, of course) during a boss battle just because he needed to adjust his karma... Is there anyone still crazy enough to party with Absolutely Inviolable Area...? Genocider is hard to party up with. Absolutely Inviolable Area is hard to stay at a party with. Wouldn't those two be the strongest party ever if they decided to join forces? Not just the strongest, but also the worst party ever... Let's add the Perverted Gentleman to the mix. Terrifying... I'm now imagining Genocider happily throwing bombs at you, while Absolutely Inviolable Area holds the frontline... And the Perverted Gentleman just shows off his body in the back, because he doesn't need to do anything. What a hellish image... Who is the Perverted Gentleman? Don't wanna... Just talking about it gives me the shivers! Lol! Yeah, us mobs just can't compete! Lol! On a serious note, is there anyone that can actually fight against Genocider or Absolutely Inviolable Area and not get stomped? Hannes has a proven track record of holding his own against those two. I think all 5 top players (if you count the ones right below those two) should be able to fight more or less on even grounds actually. Well, Maria, Blossom and Hannes should be indeed capable of fighting properly, but... Who else would fit? There's actually a website with more information, so if you're interested, you can see a more in-depth explanation at http: // ****** They really come out of nowhere, don't they!? Lol! I wonder if you need to pay a fee to enter the faith...?

37.クレブスクルム解放戦線その6 助けた姉妹たちがなにやら手作りのペンダントを作ってくれました。不思議な生き物を象った物なんですが、普通に司教から奪った物よりも高性能だったので素直に戴いて三田さんを移しておきます。 そうこうしているうちにロン老師に呼ばれたので、会議室に移動している最中です。会議と言っても最終確認のようなものらしいですが........................。 「............めっちゃ見られてますね」 「カッカッカッ、どうやら好かれたらしいな? 」 まぁ、確かにこの二日間せがまれましたので子どもたちと遊びましたけど......ニアさんと恐縮するメアさんと遊んでたら遠巻きにしてた子どもたちがそれを見てワラワラ寄ってきたんですよねぇ。なので積み木や肉の解体の仕方なんかも教えてただけなんですけど、妙に懐かれてしまいました。 「良いことじゃて、警戒心の強くなってしまった子どもたちと仲良くなれる者はそう多くない」 「そうですか? 」 私小さな子にあまり良い思い出ありませんけどね? まぁ、そうですね............悪い気は、しないです。 「そうじゃて。......さて、ここじゃ」 どうやら着いたみたいですね、船の船長室を会議室として使っているみたいです。促されるままユウさんと一緒に入っていきます。 ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ 「皆の者、集まっておるな? 」 レーナという娘とユウという小僧を伴って会議室に入っていく。見ればここに集まった皆が覚悟の決まった顔をしておる............ここに居る何人が生き残れるやら。 「......大丈夫なようじゃな、これより作戦会議を始める」 そうして会議の開始を宣言し、詳細を煮詰めていく。 「まずロノウェとそこのレーナという娘が今回の主力兼本命じゃ。この二人が本丸を落とす前に街を混乱させ衛兵共を我らで足止めする、これは確定じゃ」 「......ロノウェ殿はわかりますが、そこの女の子が、ですか? 」 ふむ、見れば他の者も大小あれ不安や困惑の表情を隠し切れておらん。 「案ずるでない、この娘は少なくともあの四人より確実に強く、下手したらロノウェと同等以上の実力者じゃ」 「っ?! まさか?!! 」 皆一様に驚いておるな、驚愕の眼差しで娘を見ておる。まぁ、真に驚くべきはその様な眼差しを大人数から向けられてなお首元のペンダントを弄っておる娘の胆力か......。 「じゃから安心せい、それよりも他に意見がある者はおるか? 」 「では、私から。四人のうち二人は、決行予定日に広場にて反抗した奴隷を見せしめにするためのショーをするために出張るようです」 「ふむ、であるならば......レーナとやらそちらは任せてよいかね? 当初は二人で行動してもらうつもりだったが............」 「私は別に構いませんよ? むしろ一人の方が気楽です」 さすがと言うべきか頼りになる娘じゃな。これで混沌に属しておらねば......子どもたちからも好かれておるし、本当に残念じゃ.........。 「では、概ね当初予定していた計画に変更はないでよいな? 」 「『はい! 』」 ふむ、良さそうじゃな? ならば後はそうじゃな............。 「一応聞くが、この中に統率や鼓舞といったスキルを持っておる者はおらんか? 先遣隊が混乱を起こしている間に、本陣にて戦闘員に対して演説を行ってもらいたいのじゃが............」 ワシの言葉にみんな黙ってしまう、さすがに望み過ぎたか―――― 「――――それなら両方進化スキルを持っていますよ? 」 ――――この娘は本当に底が知れんのぉ......斥候や暗殺者の類かと思っておったがな? 「......そうか、ではそれも頼んでよいか? 幸い広場は領主館よりも近い、多少遅れても問題無かろう」 「えぇ、構いません」 「すまぬな......それでは他に何か意見のある者は.........おらぬな。ではこれで会議を終了する、決行は明日じゃ!! 」 「これより我らクレブスクルム解放戦線は自由の身となるため戦うぞ!! 」 長かった隷属の時代はようやく終わるかも知れん......いや、終わらせる。少なくとも我らの代で......これからこの左頬の印は隷属ではなく自由、早さではなく速さの象徴に戻る!!

Chapter 37 - Krebskulm Liberation Front (Part 6) The sisters I had helped gave me some kind of hand-made pendant. It was decorated with a strange creature, but as it had better stats than the thing I took from the bishop, I accepted it gladly and put the old one away. Shortly after, Sage Ron came to call us. We were currently moving towards the meeting room. Though, it seemed like it was mostly about confirming a few final details... "... People are really staring." "Hahaha. I guess they've become fond of you?" Well, it was true that the children had pestered me into playing with them during the last two days... I had been playing with Nia and the more hesitant Mea, and then the children saw us and came forward. With no other choice, I taught them about building blocks and butchering meat. And now they seem to like me. "It's a good thing, though. It's rare for people to be able to get close to children who have become very guarded." "Is that so?" I don't really have any good memories attached to small children, you know? But, well... I don't exactly hate it now. "This is it." Apparently, we had arrived. The captain's room was being used for meetings. And so Yuu and I entered as we were told. ****** "Is everyone here?" The girl called Rena and the guy called Yuu entered the meeting room. A quick glance showed that everyone present had expressions that showed that they were prepared... How many of them would survive? "... It seems like it. Now, we will start the war council." I declared, and we went over the details. "First, Ronove and Rena over here will be our main force. Before these two take the castle, we will create confusion in the town and stop the guards. This has already been decided." "... I know who Ronove is, but who is that girl?" Hmm. Judging by their expression, the others were quite worried. "Do not fear. She is at least stronger than those four. In fact, she may be just as strong as Ronove, if not stronger." "Surely not!?" They were all so surprised. They looked at the girl with wide eyes. Well, what was really surprising was her boldness. She was being stared at by so many people and yet she was more interested in the pendant around her neck... "So, do not worry. Now, does anyone else have any opinions?" "I do. I heard that out of the four, two will go out to the town square in order to put on a show with the slaves that rebelled." "Hmm. In that case... Can I rely on you, Rena? I had initially planned for the two of you to move together..." "I don't mind. If anything, it's easier when I'm alone." She really was a reliable girl. If she wasn't so close to chaos... and even the children like her... it really is too bad... "So then, are we all in agreement that there will be no changes to our initial plans?" "Yes!" Hmm. Seems to be fine? In that case... "I'm asking just in case, is there anyone here who has skills like Leadership and Encouragement? While the advance party is causing chaos, I want someone to give a speech to the fighters..." Everyone remained silent. Perhaps I was asking for too much... "... If that's what you want, I have both skills." ... Does this girl have no limits...? I thought she was just a Scout or an Assassin type? "... I see. Then can I rely on you? Thankfully, the town square is closer than the lord's house. So it won't be a problem if you're a little late." "Yes, that's fine." "Thank you... Now, if anyone had anything to say... no, I see that no one does. Well, the meeting will end then. We start tomorrow!!" "We will fight at the Krebskulm Liberation Front in order to be free!!" This might be the end of the long age of subordination... No, it will be. At last, in our generation... From now on, this mark on my left cheek will once again be a symbol of freedom and speed, not hurrying!

「ヒュッー! やるねぇ、坊ちゃん!」 「......いったい何処まで続いてる?」 「どうって......そりゃマフィアの拠点の一つだからな、隠し事の一つや二つはあるのさ」 「......まともに答える気はないようだね」 「......あの女が領主館を爆破しやがったからな......クソっ」 「......その、すまない」 小馬鹿にする表情から一転して暗い影を背負い、露骨に落ち込むエレンを見て、レーナが領主館を爆破した原因の一人でもあるスメラギは反射的に謝ってしまう。......彼は普通に善人なのだ、どこぞの狂った女性プレイヤーと違って罪悪感くらいは感じるらしい。 「なんてな! 今はここが領主館だよ! 《宵闇兎》ッ!!」 「このっ?! 《Z飛斬》ッ!!」 「このっ?! 『身体超過・嵐雷騎士』ッ!!」 「『身体昇華・嗤う道化』」 「『魂魄超過・神聖なる導べ』ッ!!」 「《エクスエンチャント・フィジカルパワー》、《エクスエンチャント・フィジカルバリア》、《エクスエンチャント・アクセラレータ》、《エクスエンチャント・セイクリッドネスブリリアンス》、《エクスエンチャント・リジェネレーションストーム》」 「《エクスエンチャント・フィジカルパワー》、《エクスエンチャント・アクセラレータ》、《エクスエンチャント・デクステリティ》、《エクスエンチャント・イビルスピリット》、《エクスエンチャント・カンカラーフレイム》」 「『──神前宣告・闇夜に嗤う』」 「『──神前宣告・僕は皇国の盾』ッ!!」 「『──神前宣告・俺は道化師』」 種族:聖人 名前:スメラギ Lv.92《+30》 カルマ値:277《極善》 クラス:神命騎士 セカンドクラス:嵐雷騎士 サードクラス:神聖導師 状態:正義《自身の正義を成す時攻撃力上昇:大》 神聖騎士《STR上昇:特大・INT上昇:特大・攻撃に光輝属性:極大・光輝属性の与ダメージ上昇:極大》 嵐雷騎士《STR上昇:特大・VIT上昇:特大・攻撃に暴風と雷鳴属性:特大・暴風と雷鳴属性の与ダメージ上昇:特大》 神聖なる導べ《INT上昇:特大・DEX上昇:特大・攻撃時ランダムで武技発動・武技の与ダメージ上昇:極大》 暴風攻勢《攻撃に暴風属性:中・攻撃力上昇:中》 暴風守護《暴風耐性上昇:中・防御力上昇:中》 神聖攻勢《攻撃に光輝属性:中・攻撃力上昇:中》 神聖守護《光輝耐性上昇:中・防御力上昇:中》 防人《AGI上昇:特大・VIT上昇:特大》 博愛主義《最大HP上昇:特大・回復効果上昇:特大》 重要NPC 名前:エレン・クラウディア・バーレンス Lv.101《+30》 カルマ値:-512《邪悪》 クラス:夜闇 セカンドクラス:嗤う道化師 サードクラス:情緒不安定 状態:お遊び《人を揶揄う時攻撃力上昇:大》 宵宮隠し《INT上昇:特大・AGI上昇:特大・攻撃に暗黒属性:極大・回避率上昇:極大》 嗤う道化《STR上昇:特大・DEX上昇:特大・攻撃に暗黒属性:極大・暗黒属性の与ダメージ上昇:極大》 喜怒哀楽《STR上昇:大・INT上昇:大・AGI上昇:大・DEX上昇:大・攻撃時ランダムで武技発動・武技の与ダメージ上昇:極大》 神敵討滅《全ステータス上昇:小・カルマ値:善の敵に対する与ダメージ上昇:大・継続回復:中》 暗黒攻勢《攻撃に暗黒属性:中・攻撃力上昇:中》 暗黒守護《暗黒耐性上昇:中・防御力上昇:中》 炎熱攻勢《攻撃に火炎属性:中・攻撃力上昇:中》 炎熱守護《火炎耐性上昇:中・防御力上昇:中》 神前宣告:踊る道化《STR上昇:極大・DEX上昇:極大・秩序に属する者に対する与ダメージ上昇:極大・秩序に属する者と戦う時全ステータス上昇:極大・常時HP減少:3%/1s》 備考 ムーンライト・ファミリー 若頭 バーレンス辺境伯(偽) バーレンス王国・国王 傀儡の王 神の道化 混沌の使徒 「じゃ、準備はいいか? 俺はこの後も仕事が溜まってんだ──」 お互いにそれぞれ武器を油断ならない相手に向けて鋭く構える......特に《看破》でエレンのステータスを覗き見たスメラギは一瞬で冷静に戻り、驕りや隙の一切を排除する。 「──いっぺん死んどけ」

"Not bad, boy!" I exclaimed while still running from him. "Just how many corridors does this mansion has? It feels like we've been running for eternity..." He asked me. "A mafia base will, of course, have some secrets, fool!" I told him. "I guess I shouldn't have expected a proper answer..." He commented while sighing. "You know, the base is only like that because a certain madwoman blew up the original mansion of the city's lord..." I said. "... I'm sorry." He replied. Well... At least he seems to feel a bit of guilt from it, since he was involved in the attack that made her blow up the whole place... It's nice that someone has a bit of sense. However... "If you're sorry, then leave! This is the new home for the lord now! And you're invading it! <Moonlight Rabbits>!" I exclaimed. "<Flying Z Cut>!" He used his sword to start cutting the purple flying rabbits that I threw at him... However, their real goal wasn't to hit him directly, but to instead throw even more rubber balls in even harder to keep up patterns than before! "Agh! Just how many of those are you planning on throwing!?" He exclaimed as another ball hit the back of his head. Bullseye! "Eh...!? Bo-<Body Transcendence: Storm Knight>!" He used next. Seems like he was surprised I could also strengthen myself. "<Body Sublimation: Laughing Clown>!" I used next. "<Spiritual Transcendence: Divine Guidance>!" He used. "<Ex Enchantment: Physical Might>; <Ex Enchantment: Physical Barrier>; <Ex Enchantment: Accelerate>; <Ex Enchantment: Sacred Brilliance>; <Ex Enchantment: Regeneration Storm>" He used all those next, so I followed suit.

8.地下墳墓探索その4 「お、お前ぇぇぇぇえええ!!!! 」 俺は衝動のままに斧を振るう。少しでもこの激情を晴らさんと、この憎き相手に叩き付けるかのように上段――――身体を横に逸らし――――薙ぎ払い――――バックステップで――――振り上げ――――身体を後ろ斜め後ろに倒し――――袈裟斬り――――そのままバク転でどれも躱される。 狭い通路内だってのに冗談じゃねぇ!! 「この野郎ォ! 」 そのまま踏み込もうとして―――― ガキィン――――!! ――――投擲された短剣をラインの長剣が弾く。 「ハンネス! 落ち着け、俺たちと連携しろ! 」 「っ! あ、あぁそうだ、そのとおりだ」 くそっ! いきなり件の野郎に仲間2人が殺られて一気に沸騰しちまった......頭に血が上った状態で勝てる相手じゃねぇってのに......だが、この狭い通路内で仲間と連携すれば目がないわけじゃない。ベータ版からの特典で、上限のLv.15とスキルレベルの半分を引き継いでる俺たちはトップ組としての技量も矜恃もある――――!!! 段々と、ほんの少しずつだが相手を追い詰めんと連携して攻める! ケリンの槍は執拗に足元を狙い踏み込みを躊躇させる、ラインの剣捌きは頭を狙い相手意識を奪い視線を遮る。そして動きが止まれば......いや、少しでも隙ができれば俺が斧を叩き込む――――!!! 「シっ! 」 「フッ! 」 ケリンの槍はダンスを踊るように躱され、むしろ時おり槍を踏みつけられバランスを崩したところに首を狙われる。ラインの剣閃は目線すら寄越さず首の動きのみで躱される。俺の大振りの斧は言うに及ばず............。 「クソッタレ! 」 「化け物め......」 思わずラインと一緒に悪態をついちまう......でも仕方ねぇだろこればっかりはよ、いっそ面白いくらいに当たらねぇんだから! だが俺たちもただ苦戦してるだけじゃねぇ、ジリジリと奴を誘導し―――― ミラが矢を放つ。当たらないとは言っても奴は俺らに掛かりきりの状態、しかも矢は死角である後方からくる。距離的にミラのキルゾーンだ。そのまま後頭部から貫かれて即死だ、ざまぁみろ! 奴の死を半ば確信し―――― 「......あっと、ありがとう存じます」 「――――は?」 その時だった、奴が何かに引っ張られるように後ろに倒れ矢は素通りし、そのままケリンの頭を貫く結果に終わる......ケリンがリスポーンしていくのをただ呆然と眺めながらひたすら考える。 ――――なぜ回避できた? ――――奴は後ろに目でもついているのか? そんな場合ではないと分かってはいるが、確実に決まったと確信していただけにショックは大きく、目を見開いて固まってしまった。 時間にして数秒程度だろうがその間に奴はミラに迫る。 ミラは相手を近付けまいと矢を連射するが、全て短剣で弾かれる。 その音で我に返りラインと2人で駆け出すがもう遅い......正面から喉を貫かれてミラのHPは全損する............。 「アァァァァァアァアアアァア!!!!!!!!!!!」 「ライン! 待て! 」 それを見て、今まで俺を窘めていたラインが破れかぶれの突撃を敢行する。 それに続き俺も突っ込むが―――― 「まぁ、はい......それなりに楽しかったですよ? 」 奴にそう微笑まれながら喉を貫かれてHPが全損する。リスポーンする前の刹那のその微笑みに、悔しいが見惚れてしまった......。 「ふふっ、喜んでいるのですか? それは良かったです」 実際、最後の方の矢は麻布さんが居なければ反応が遅れてノーダメとはいかなかったでしょうね。しかしながらモンスターたちの魔術も使いませんでしたし、上々の結果ではないでしょうか? 「何も問題ないことがわかりましたし、目当てのモンスターをテイムしつつこのエリアの攻略をめざしますよ! 」 ふふ、なんだか可愛く思えてきちゃいました。この調子でドンドン行きましょう。

Chapter 8 Underground Tomb Exploration 4 Hannes: [Y-YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAARRDD!!!!] I swung my axe on impulse. I need to unleash even if it's just a little of this furious emotion towards that detestable one who was right above me---moved her body sideways---mowed down---backstep---went over me---swung her body diagonally to behind me---and slashed with her dagger---then she dodged with a backflip. Even though this is a narrow passage, this got to be some kind of a joke!!! Hannes: [This bastard!!] Ryne tried to step in, but--- ---Gakiin---!!! ---His long sword was repelled by a thrown dagger. Ryne: [Hannes! Calm down! Cooperate with us!] Hannes: [!! A-aah, yeah, that's right.] Shit! Because that bastard suddenly killed our two comrades, it made my blood boil instantly... even though I knew that we cannot win if we lose our temper here. Gradually, bit by bit, we attacked cooperatively and chased after her! Kellin relentlessly aimed his spear at her foot and made a move towards her while Ryne aimed at her head to distract her and block her line of sight with his bladework. Then, when her movement stops... No, If I could get just a slight gap, I will strike her with my hammer---!!! Kellin: [Shi-!] Ryne: [Fu!!] She evaded Kellin's spear as if she was dancing along with it, or rather, she sometimes aimed for his neck while she stepped on the spear and threw off her balance. Ryne's blade was also dodged by her with only moving her head without looking at him. It goes without saying my large axe was............ Hannes: [Fucking shit!!] Ryne: [You monster...] I cursed along with Ryne unconsciously... but it can't be helped if you look at this situation due to the fact that we can't even get a single hit on her! However, we are not just struggling with her here. Slowly but steadily we lead her--- This distance is Myra's kill zone. It will pierce from the back of her head and she will have an instant death, serves her right! When I was halfway convinced about her death--- Rena: [......Ah? thank you very much.] Hannes: [----Huh?] It was then that she fell on her back as if she was pulled by something, and the arrow passed by as it is and pierced through Kellin's head as the end result... and I can only think about Kellin's stunned look when he respawned. ------How can she avoid it? ------Does she also have eyes on her back? I know that is not the case, but I was very shocked and stiffened with my eyes wide-opened as I was sure and confident that it was a certain result. We were stunned for just about a few seconds, but in that meantime, she was already approaching straight towards Myra. Mira shot her arrows continuously towards her approaching opponent. However, all of the arrows were deflected with a dagger. I, as well as Ryne returned to our senses after hearing that sound and start running, but it was already too late... Ryne: [aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!] Hannes: [Ryne! Wait!] Seeing that, Ryne, who had been rebuking me up until now, desperately rushed in on his own. With that, I also tried to charge in, but--- Rena: [Well yes... it was fun in its own way, you see?] She pierced my throat while smiling and I lost all of my HP. Rena: [Ufufu, are you happy with that? I see, that's good.] In fact, I could not dodge the arrow at the end if it had not been for Azabu-san. Nevertheless, the monsters did not use any magic, so is it not the best outcome? Rena: [I see no problem with our battle there, hence let's aim to conquer this area while taming another target monsters!] Fufu, they're somehow pretty cute. Let's go steadily with this condition.

私からも向かおうかと足を踏み出したところでユウさんとバッタリ遭遇しましたね......なぜ地面から出てきたのでしょうこの人は? 「......というよりなんですか? そのげぇ! という鳴き声は? 」 「酷いじゃないですか、友達に何も言わず居なくなるなんて............」 「っ?! あ、あれは同じ検証班でリア友がですね! いや、その......本当にごめんなさい!! 」 また余計な一言を言いかけたユウさんに鉄片入りの雪玉を思いっ切り投擲しますが間一髪で躱されましたね、ユウさんのくせに生意気な............。 「ま、待って! 謝りますから落ち着きましょう?! レーナさん!! 」 む? 雪の下から凄い勢いで草が伸びて絡み付いてきますね? しかもどこからか全身タイツの集団が――――――― 「覚悟っていうのは自分がするものであって他人に強制するものではないと思うのですが? 」 人の顔見てビビることはないでしょう? これはあなたの選択の結果ですよ? 身体に纒わり付く草を《発火》で除去しながら白タイツの集団の首を飛ばしていきつつユウさんに毒針を投擲していく。 「《世間との壁》! 」 ........................投擲がめっちゃ弾かれますね? このままだと中々近付けな――――

"Geh!" He screamed. I wonder why he came out of the ground, right below my feet to boot... "... Just what's up with this noise you just made?" I asked him. 'Geh' was a really weird reaction. "... Hey, were you perhaps abandoned here by your friends?" I mean, it really was weird that he came out of the ground like this... "Eh? N-no! I mean, we're friends from real life, alright? We're all on the verification team! You don't need to feel sorry for me!" He hurriedly explained, but his exaggerated motions just made him look more pitiful, though also a bit funny. "You got my point!" I said while throwing a snowball with iron scraps inside it. He shouted in pain once it hit him, but he deserved it for his attitude. "Wait wait, I'm sorry! So please calm down!" He desperately begged. A bunch of grass came from under the snow and tried to entangle me. Also, some people in skin-tight clothes also appeared and surrounded me... "You seem to somehow be prepared for every situation, and even has magic that can summon other people? How come?" I asked him nonchalantly. "Eek!" He screamed. He seemed a bit terrified of me, but that was the result of his choices. While removing the grass that was holding me with <Ignition> and getting rid of the surrounding group of people with kicks to their necks, I started throwing poison needles at Yuu. "<Wall Off The World>!" He used another weird skill that somehow saved him... That said, we were still pretty close to one another. So... Let's take care of this for good. "<Overwhelmingly Buffed>: <Break The Speed Limit>; <Overwhelmingly Buffed>: <High Enchantment: Accelerate>; <Overwhelmingly Buffed>: <Enchantment: Accelerate>!" He casted one buff after another and then... Ran away?

12.暗躍 さて、学校から帰ってきて諸々の用事を済ませてログインです。あれから数日が経っています、続きがしたくて堪らなかったんですよね。 「おはようございます、少し出てきますね」 宿屋の主人に挨拶しますが、こちらを怯えるように見るばかりです。一応返してはくれましたが.........。 初日に泊まろうとした時拒否されたんですよね。だから指を2本ほど落としただけなんですけど、完全に怖がらせてしまったようです......今後の課題ですね。 さて、宿屋から出たら隠密系スキルをフル稼働させます。一応私は指名手配されてる身ですからね。 今日はそのまま街をぶらつこうと思います、もしもの時のための逃走経路確保と『遊び』のためです。 改めて街を見渡すと近世東欧のような街並みでした、ワルシャワやブカレスト辺りを想像してくれれば丁度いいですかね? 領主の館はチラッと見た限りロシアっぽかったです、なぜでしょう? 異国情緒あふれる街並みを眺めながら歩きます。隠密系スキルを全開にしながら、従魔達にも警戒してもらいます。 観察する限りでは初日のような活気はなく住人たちの顔も暗いですね、そしてなにより衛兵たちが物々しい......二人一組ならまだわかるんですが、見掛けると必ず四人一組で行動してるんですよね、しかも見廻りの頻度が高い───確実に私のせいですね。 人目を避けるようにして路地裏に入っていきます。初日はやめときましたが、やはり道順覚えてマップに記録しておいた方がいいですからね。少なくとも損はしません。 路地裏に入って少しすると、表の眩い感じがなくなり完全にアウトローな雰囲気です、こういうのワクワクしますね! そのままキョロキョロしながら歩いていると─── 「おうおう、嬢ちゃん迷子かぁ? 」 「おじちゃんたちが道案内してあげようか? 」 「俺たちやっさしー! 」 ――――チンピラに絡まれました、デブ、ノッポ、チビの3人組です。最悪です。路地裏の雰囲気に浮き立って隠密と索敵が疎かになっていましたか、反省です......。 「何か言えよ」 「ビビってんじゃね? 」 「おじちゃんたち怖くないか――――」 まぁ、丁度いいですし今日の予定は変更です。 そのままデブの首を落として、残りの2人の両脚を逃げられないように切断します。 そのままチビの頭を踏み付けて、ノッポさんの顎を掴み壁に押し付けます。 今ごろ状況把握ができて痛みに叫んでますね、チビさんは頭を踏み付けてるので聞き取りづらいです。 「少し五月蝿いです」 ガキャという間抜けな音と共にそのままノッポさんの顎を外し、またガコンっという音とともに顎をつけ直します。 「〜〜〜〜〜〜〜っ!! 」 少しだけ静かになったところで尋問開始です。 「あなたに聞きたいことがあるのですが」 「わ、わかった! なんでも言う! だから助けてくれ! 」 「それは良かったです、ではここ最近変わったことはありますか? 」 「.........す、数日前に表の方で大事件が起きたらしくて、失業者が裏側に溢れてどこも治安が悪くなっちまった! 」 どうやら私が暴れた影響で、始まりの街では失業者などで溢れ、表だけでなく裏社会の治安まで悪くなっているようですね。 「他にはありますか? 」 「......そういった余所者を集めて新興組織のヤガン・ファミリーが勢力を拡大し始めて、ここら一帯を仕切ってるムーンライト・ファミリーに喧嘩を売り始めて、それに対して報復に出てって感じで抗争が増えてる」 なるほど、裏社会は裏社会で大変なんですねぇ〜、まぁそれは別にいいです。 「では最後に1つ、そのムーンライト・ファミリーの所まで案内してください」 「っ! 待ってくれ! それはできねぇ! お前みたいなのを案内したら殺されちまう! 」 「......そうですか、それは残念です」 どうやら案内してくれないみたいなのでコレはもう要りませんね、顎を掴んで固定し口の中に油をドンドン詰め込みます。 そのまま松明を食べさせて上げて着火します、人間篝火の完成ですね! 目からも火を吹いてるのが芸術点高いです、さすがノッポさんです。 「さてチビさん、あなたは今ここで殺されるのと後で殺されるのどっちがいいですか? というよりどちらに殺されたいですか? 」 そう言って足を退けてあげます。 「わ、わがった! 案内するから〜」 うわっ、涙と鼻水で汚いです。靴を地面に擦り付けて拭いておきます。 言質はとったので、物干し竿をチビさんの襟首に引っ掛けそのまま移動します。 「どちらですか? 」 いい加減に泣き止んでくれませんかね? 目が見えないと道案内できないでしょうから潰せませんけど、鼻ぐらいは削いでおくべきですかね? 「兄貴! またヤガン・ファミリーの連中でさぁ! 今度は魔薬ですぜ! 」 「またか! これで何件目だ?! 」 クソッ! ツイてねぇ! アジトの隠れ蓑としての表の酒場で飲んでいたところにこの部下の報告だ。 この前にここら辺を仕切る幹部に昇進したばっかだってのに、昇進した2日目に表の方で大事件が起きて、一気に裏社会の住民が増えた......。 それだけならまだしも、その余所者を吸収したヤガンの野郎が勢力拡大してこちらに喧嘩売りやがった! 破門されたんだから大人しくしてろってのに! 「それで、被害は? 」 「廃人になったのが数名と、こちらの組員に重軽傷者が十数人でさぁ」 魔薬が絡んでるにしては被害は少ない方か......それよりも問題なのは―――― 「それよりも、これを機にコチラ側に領主から捜査の手が伸びる恐れがありやすぜ」 ったく、次から次へと......割と大きな国が魔薬で国民丸ごと滅んだ経緯から大陸条約で禁止されてるってのに、そんな物に手を出したらこちらまで危ねぇじゃねぇか。 「今回はさすがに見逃せねぇ、俺も上に掛け合ってヤガンの野郎を潰す許可を―――」 「―――こんばんはー? お邪魔しますね? 」 バンッ! という扉を開く大きな音と共に声が掛けられる。 ったく誰だ? 女なんか呼んだ奴は? ここは売春宿じゃねぇんだぞ? 振り返りつつ文句を言おうとして――― 「っ! 兄貴! ロランの野郎が!! 」 振り返った先には美しい女が居た。しかしながらその手には両脚を失い、鼻を縫い付けられ、両目を穿たれた変わり果てた姿のロランが襟首を掴まれていた。 一緒にいたダンとノスリの姿が見えないが............望みは薄いな。 「てめぇ、ヤガンのとこのもんか? 」 「? 違いますよ? 」 なに? てっきり遂にカチコミに来たかと思ったんだがな? 「じゃあ領主の手先か? それとも他のファミリーのまわし者か? 」 「どちらも違いますけど......」 「じゃあどこの誰でなにが目的なんだ!! 」 クソっ! 落ち着け俺、部下がやられて腹が立つのはわかるが冷静になれ......普通に考えて成人男性3人を1人で殺せる女は異常だ、相手の出方をよく見ろ。そして隙を見てこの場にいる全員で掛かるんだ......そこまで考えてから、周りの部下に目配せをする。それぞれ頷きや目礼が返ってきた。 「私はですね、ムーンライト・ファミリー? っていうところのボスに用がありまして」 「そいつは運がよかったな、ここのボスは俺だ」 「そうですか? そうは見えませんけどね......」 ここのボスは俺だ、嘘は言ってない。仮に看破を使われても大丈夫なはずだ。 「あぁそうなんだよ、話なら奥で聞くからついてこい」 「......まぁいいですか」 腑に落ちない様子で女が馬鹿正直についてくる――――間抜けめ、そのまま酒場の中心よりコチラに来た時がお前の最期だ。痛めつけて背後関係を洗いざらい吐かせたあとは売春宿に売り払ってやる。 女に背を向けある程度進んだところで、部下にだけわかるように合図を出す。 「死に晒せ! 」 「覚悟しろ! 」 それによって周りで待機してきた部下が一斉に女に襲いかかる。 「運も悪ければ頭も悪い、素直についてくる方が悪いんだ――――」 ――――振り返りつつそう言う俺が目にしたのは3人の部下の首が飛び、5人の部下の腕が落とされ、さらに3人の部下の喉に持っていたものだと思われる武器がそれぞれ生え、2人が店外に投げ飛ばされたところだった。 「――――本当にツイてない」

Chapter 12 Secret Maneuvers Now then, as I have come back from school and finished various tasks, I can now log in to the game. A few days have passed since then, and I wanted to continue playing it as it was unbearable to withstand the urge for a couple of days. Rena: [Good morning, I will go out for a bit.] I greeted the inn owner but, she only looked at me and become frightened. Though, she gave a reply more or less... You see, I was refused once when I tried to stay here on the first day. Hence I only removed her two fingers but, seems like she's completely scared of me now... Now then, by the time I get out of the inn I need to activate my stealth skill in full power as I'm more or less a person who is on the wanted list. I would like to take a stroll around the town for today as this is for the purpose of securing an escape route if things happened and also for {playing} as well. Looking back at the town once again, it looks to be an Eastern Europe-like town from the early modern times. Would it be better if I imagine it as someplace like Warsaw or Bucharest? The lord's manor looks like a Russian-type one as far as I could see but, for what reason? I also have my followers to be on guard while my stealth skill is fully activated. According to my observation, the town has no liveliness like the first day and the residents are looking gloomy. And above all, the guards are in a more awful looking... I had given up on the first day, but as expected, it's better to remember the directions and record them on the map. There's no harm on doing that at least. After entering the back alley, there's no dazzling feeling on the surface and the atmosphere is completely outlawish, which is very exciting, yes! When I was walking and looking around restlessly--- Outlaw A: [Oooh, missy, are you lost?] Outlaw B: [Do you want us uncles giving you the directions?] Outlaw C: [We're nice people~!] --------I got entangled with a group of three hoodlums; fatty, giant, and chibi. This is awful. The atmosphere from the back alley had enlivened me and made me neglect my stealth and presence detection. I have reflected... Fatty: [Hey, say something.] Giant: [Is she scared?] Chibi: [Are you scared of us uncles?---] Well, as the timing's just right, I will change today's schedule. I decapitated the fatty and cut the legs of the remaining two so that they cannot escape from me. I then stepped on the Chibi-san's head and grabbed Giant-san's jaw and slammed it against the wall. Now that he can understand his situation, he immediately cried out in pain. Chibi-san's head is being trampled down currently, hence he's struggling to hear what the other is saying. Rena: [You're a little noisy.] With an idiotic *Gakya* sound, I dislocated Giant-san's jaw and returned it back again along side a *Gakon* sound. Giant: [~~~~~~~!!] I start my interrogation after it has become a little quiet. Rena: [I have something to ask of you.] Giant: [I-I understand! I will do anything! So please help me!] Rena: [That's wonderful, now then, did anything change recently around here?] Giant: [.........A-A few days ago, it seems that a big incident had occurred, and the unemployed people overflowed to the ghetto and the security turned bad everywhere!] It seems like due to the influence of my act, the First Town was flooded with unemployed people and the security had gotten worse not only on the surface but also on the underground society. Rena: [Is there anything else?] Giant: [...The rising organization, Yagan Family has begun to expand their power by gathering outsiders and starting to force an expansion to the Moonlight Family, who are controlling the area here, and it seems like they are out in retaliation, hence the conflict between them is rising.] I see, the underground society also has its own serious problem, yes~? Well, that doesn't matter for me. Rena: [Now then, my final request. Please take me to this Moonlight Family.] Giant: [...!! Wait! I can't do that! I will be killed if I guide someone like you!] Rena: [...I see, that's a shame.] I don't need this thing anymore as it doesn't seem to want to guide me there. I grabbed its jaw, fixed it and continuously poured oil into its mouth. I let it eat the torch and set it on fire, it has turned into a perfect human bonfire, yes! It also has a high artistic point as the fire is also burning from the eyes. As expected of Giant-san. Rena: [Well, Chibi-san, would you prefer to be killed here or later?] I say so while putting my feet away from his head. Chibi: [I-I UNDEESTHAND!! I WEILL GUIYDE YOU SO PWEASE~~] Uwaah, being in tears while having a runny nose, that's dirty. I rubbed my shoe on the ground and wiped it away. As promised, I hooked Chibi-san's nape to a pole and moved him as it is. Rena: [Which way is it?] Could you stop with your crying? You can't guide the way if you can't see. Though I can't slaughter him right now, would it be okay to cut off only his nose? Junior: [Aniki! It's the lot from Yagan Family again! This time, it's magic drugs!] Aniki: [Again!? How many times has it been now!?] Fuck! Just my luck! I got a report from my subordinate in a tavern where I'm drinking right now which is a cover for our hideout. Although I was recently promoted to a leader who are controlling this area, a big incident had occurred on the surface on the second day of my promotion and the number of people in the underground society increased in one go.... It's good if it was only that but, that Yagan bastard who absorbed the other people and expanding his authority, has been trying to pick a fight with us! Even though I was excommunicated and being quiet! Aniki: [So, how's the damage?] Junior: [Some people have been crippled and there are more than a dozen of people in the group who are seriously injured as well, you see...] So there is less damage when it comes to magic drugs, huh?...or rather, the thing that's more problematic is--- Junior: [More than that, there's a chance that the lord's investigation will extend to this side.] Sheesh, doing it one after another... Even though the magic drug has been banned by the Continental Treaty as it had destroyed a once big kingdom before, won't it also be dangerous for us if they pulled out such a thing. Aniki: [Don't let them escape this time, I will also tell the higher-ranked to give the permission to kill that Yagan bastard---] Rena: [----Good evening-? Could I bother you for a second?] There was a loud door opening noise. Geez, who was it? Who called a woman in this crucial time? This is not a brothel, you know? I tried to complaint while turning around-- Junior: [!! Big bro! Loran is...!!] There stood a beautiful woman however, I also caught a bizzare glimpse of her hand which is currently grabbing the nape of Loran who had lost all of his limbs, a sewed nose, and had both of his eyes pierced. I can't see the figure of Dan and Nosley who were with me but......... my expectation for this is slim. Aniki: [You, are you Yagan's people?] Rena: [? You're wrong, though?] What? I was certain that they have finally come here to raid us, is it not that though? Aniki: [Then, are you the lord's underling? Or maybe another family's spy?] Rena: [Both are wrong, though?......] Aniki: [Then whose family did you come from and what do you want here!?!] Fuck! Calm down, me. I know that I'm upset because my subordinates got done in but, let's calm down... If you think it normally, a woman who can kill three adults alone is abnormal so look closely at her attitude. I could see everyone who's in this place from a gap...we had already thought that far so I will signal my subordinates with my eyes. Each of them replied with a nod. Rena: [You see, I have some business with Moonlight Family? or something's boss?] Aniki: [Then you're in luck, I'm the boss of this place.] Rena: [Is that so? I can not see you as someone like that, yes...] This place boss is me, I'm not lying. It should be okay if I used it for gathering information. Aniki: [Yeah, that's right. Follow me, I will hear your talk inside.] Rena: [......Well, that's fine.] An honest to a fault woman came in without understanding her current situation---Stupid, it is already the end for you by the time you came to the center of the bar. After giving her tortures and knowing her background, I will sell her to a brothel later. When I turned my back to the woman and advance to a certain extent, I gave a signal so that only my subordinates know. Subordinate A: [Die!] Subordinate B: [Prepare yourself!] My subordinates, who has been waiting around, finally began to attack the said woman simultaneously. Aniki: [If your luck is bad, so does your head. it's bad for you to follow someone that honestly---] ------I said so while turning around and saw the heads of my three men flew and the arms of five men removed. In addition, the throats of three men were cut by a weapon and two men were thrown out of the bar. Aniki: [----really, just my luck.]

Chapter 218: Official Bulletin Board - nineteen [Victims] General Chat Thread 517 [Too Many] This is a general chat thread. Let's write freely. However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. I dunno, I was assassinated from behind out of nowhere. I thought it was the Genocider killing me on a whim, but it was a completely different person. [Sad News] Red Crow mistook another player for Yuu and killed them. Way too annoying! Lol! Also, I'm a woman, why was I targeted instead of Yuu!? So Red Crow doesn't even know the gender of Yuu...? Now that's just stupid... Well, he did leave without asking any information about the target... Ah... He certainly earned the fame he wanted, I guess... In a weird way. Give me back my experience points! No wonder he said he didn't want a reward... I thought that was just nice of him, but he was actually just bad at the job... Well, I'll remember that on the next time this guy comes here... Nobody thinks he has a chance of killing Yuu now! Lol! By the way, how many victims are there already? At least 21 already complained on the forums... Will this keep going until he finds Yuu...? Well, I think Red Crow tends to consider the request a failure if he is defeated. So we only need to get revenge on him to end this...? Good luck on beating a top player that specializes in PVP. How does he even know if he killed the right target? There is a log that shows the names of the people that you killed, so you can check It there. [Sad News] Genocider now has a gun. She can already throw people at the speed of a bullet anyways, so it's kinda pointless to her! Lol! That's Genocider for you. Makes me wonder how many skills she even has, because like... She'd surely need some throw-related skills in order to throw that fast. Well, you can get Skill Points as event rewards, so... Both her and Absolutely Inviolable Area probably have more Skill Points than they'd ever need. They can get every skill in the game by now, most likely. At least the new Gunner class looks interesting. I've been using a sword so far, but I wonder if I should switch. Archers can probably make the switch fairly easily if they want to. Though only after they obtain a gun... Maybe in the Northern portion of the continent? She is a top player, so maybe she found a way to move through the borders. I wonder who was the first victim of her gun. The scale is too big! Lol! Can't we at least lower the scale to a city? Like the Beginners' City!? Lol! Still too big! Lol! ****** [Flag Collection] General Chat Thread 521 [Thank You For Your Hard Work] Ah... This World Announcement... Player Rena cleared the World Quest, and due to it, the Meffy Commercial Nation was annexed by the Wallace Kingdom... Our flags surely paid off! Lol! Where is Meffy Commercial Nation anyways? Should we try attacking the Wallace Castle? On the plus side, I think we should be able to go to the Northern portion of the continent now. Because the Wallace Kingdom is in both Western and Northern portions of the continent now, so it should serve as an entryway for us. Oh, right, there was that thing that didn't allow us to cross the border as we didn't have permission... I wonder how the Genocider crossed it though. And she doesn't care at all... Though I think she isn't even aware of how popular she is. She doesn't interact much with other players, after all. Even though they love her so much... I pity the Genorers a bit. I wonder where the Genocider will appear next. Would be funny if Red Crow tried to assassinate her. Well, Genocider would definitely win that one. Please find him and end this murder chain, Genocider! On a side note, I don't think Red Crow has any chance of winning against Yuu without doing some research in advance, I mean... How will he deal with Yuu's crazy skills? This whole murder spree seems pointless. Stop running Yuu! Sacrifice yourself for us! Well, Red Crow was too unexpected. It couldn't be helped.

「俺は......できたら仲良くしたいとは思うけど、本人が嫌がってるなら仕方ないだろ?」 「なんだよ、そっちが聞いた癖に......」 「好きな食べ物をご馳走するなんてどうかしら?」 「あうぅ......レシピとか残ってないかしら?」 「おや、こんな所に......正義お坊ちゃま、小鞠お嬢様、宿題は済みましたか?」 「もちろん終わらせたよ」 「私も......ってそうだわ! 山本さん丁度良いところに!」 「そうですね......最近の玲奈お嬢様はゲームを楽しんでおられるようです」 「ゲーム、ですか?」 「へぇ、意外だな......」 「えぇ『カルマ・ストーリー・オンライン』......略してKSOというゲームをご学友と一緒に楽しまれているようですよ」 「友人が居たのか......?」 「俺もやる前提かよ」 「......やらないの?」 本当に素直じゃないのねこの子は......とにかく今から注文しても直ぐに届く訳でもないし、公式ホームページでも見てみようかしら? 明日には届くといいな。 「ご、ごめんね?」 むむむ、お義姉様とは仲良くなりたいけど華子ちゃんとももっと仲良くなりたいんだけどなぁ......正義にも窘められたし、本当になんかいつも以上にオロオロしているし無理にしても楽しくないし仕方ないかな......。 む、むぅ......確かになぜか『始まりの街』がとあるプレイヤーの手に落ちて、さらには抗争があって領主の屋敷が爆発したとか、そもそも神殿が焼け落ちてるとか、意味がわからない事になっているみたいだけど......あ、ダメねこれ。 「うーん、俺も昔のゲームを少し触ったくらいだしなぁ......」 す、少しゲーム初心者が手を出すにはハードルが高かったかな? でもお義姉様はこのゲームで楽しく遊んでいるらしいし......。 「そ、その私その人に連絡取るからもう先に帰るね!」 なんでか私たちよりもやる気を出していた華子ちゃんをそのまま見送って正義と二人で帰る......ゲームはしたくないけど手伝う事は問題ないの......かな? 華子ちゃんあんなに走れたんだとか思いながら家に帰ればちゃんと二人分のVR機器が揃っていて今日からゲームが始められそうだった。

"I mean, I do, but... Not much can be done if she doesn't want it." He told me honestly. "That's a bad habit of yours." He said while patting my head. Seigi seemed to understand my plight, so he tried coming up with some ideas, "Why don't you try cooking her favorite food?" He suggested. "Ah... Maybe she left some recipes...?" I'm not sure I can replicate her meals without having the deceased help me... And I'm also unsure if Reina liked the food for the taste, or because it was made by her mom... And wouldn't she actually get angry if a child that was born out of an affair tried to replicate the food that her mom cooked!? At that moment, Mr. Yamamoto entered the living room and said, "So that's where you two were... Lord Seigi, Lady Komari, I assume the two of you have already finished your homework?" "Of course, I did!" Seigi said. "I did too... Oh, right! Mr. Yamamoto, you came at the right time!" He has been working for the Ichijoujis since forever after all, so he must have some ideas! "I want to get along with our sister-in-law, Reina." "Oh, with miss Reina..." He seemed to think for a bit before replying, "Well, there is a game that she has been playing quite a bit recently, and she seems to enjoy it a lot." "A game?" Seigi asked. "That's kinda surprising..." I commented. I mean, I always thought of her as the kind of person that reads books by the window while being bathed by the moonlight, so this is an unexpected hobby for her. "The game is 'Karma Story Online', or KSO for short, she seems to be playing it with her classmates during most of her free time." Mr. Yamamoto told us. "She has friends!?" Seigi exclaimed. "Why are you working on the premise I'll play too...?" He asked me. "You won't play it?" I asked him back. But well, the game won't arrive right away, so I guess we should try looking at its homepage for now at the very least. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow. "I-I'm sorry?" She said confusedly. I mean, I do want to get along with our sister, but I want to get along with Kako even more, so I shouldn't force her... What to do now? I get that there is a player that took over the beginners' city, burned down a temple, exploded a mansion, started a war with other players and... "I only touched old games a bit, you know...?" Seigi said. I get that it looks tough, but our sister seems to be having fun playing it, so I want to try it... It can't be that hard to accept that! "I'm gonna leave first since I need to contact this person, so I'll see you later!" As soon as she said that, she turned around and started running away. Somehow, Kako seemed to suddenly be more motivated about this than we were... But well, if she wants to help us, then that's fine? When we got home, we found out that the VR consoles had arrived, so we could start playing today! Let's do our best!

82.潜入 王女に仕込んだ糸を辿って駆け抜ける、灯りのない地下通路を走り、壁を押し退け、階段を下り、穴に落ちて、五回ほど柱の周りを回ってから出てきた階段を登って、枯れた水路の横穴を通り抜ける。 ユウさんが言うには無駄に複雑なマップはゲームには付き物らしいですからいいですけど、これ糸がないと初見では確実に迷ってましたね。 まぁ、構いませんけど......そのまま目の前に現れたカーテンを捲り、出てきた鏡をそっと押す。 「おっと、どうやら王女様は目的地に着いたようですね」 寄り道はやめて一直線に進みますか。長く広い、天井も高くて隠れにくい通路を足早に通り抜けていきますが......途中で動かずそれ以上進ませないための衛兵がいますね。 「......あなた、アナベラを......私のメイドをどうしたの......?」 「殺しましたよ、わかっているでしょう?」 ほほう、襲撃されているのに罵倒する余裕まであるのですね? 「いいんですか? あなたの態度次第でこの場の命が少なくなりますよ?」 偉く物分りがいいですね? いったい何を企んでいるのでしょう? 「......娘さんが大事なんですか?」 「? 当たり前だ、子を嫌う親がいるものか」

Chapter 82 - Infiltration I followed the thread tied to the princess into a dark underground passage, pushed a loose wall out of the way, went down the stairs, fell into a hole, ran around a pillar five times, climbed the stairs that came out once I did that, and then moved through a side hole that went through a waterway. It is certainly quite the complicated path, I would definitely be lost without the thread. Yuu says that complicated maps are good game design though, so I suppose it's a nice thing that the path is this confusing. I rolled up the curtain ahead of me and gently pushed the mirror behind it. ... Oh! The princess reached her destination, let's get moving. As I left the room, I noticed there was a pair of nearby guards. The path ahead was a long corridor that was hard to hide in, so it seemed like I didn't have much choice, but to... Help them die. "W-what did you do with Annabella!?" The princess asked, interrupting our conversation. "I killed her, of course." I replied. "I believe I have the right to insult monsters." He replied... To think he is willing to curse even in his current situation. "Are you sure about that? Your life might last less if you maintain this behavior." I told him. "What is it?" I asked. I wondered if he was leading me towards this on purpose. "... Is she important to you?" I asked. "But of course, there are no parents who dislike their children." He said. I stayed silent.

29.北の地下通路その5 「ダメだこの人......」 そんな失礼極まりない言葉とともに支援をかけて彼――――ユウさんは下がっていきます。 どれどれ、強化の具合は......と。 名前:レーナ 性別:女 種族:人間Lv.40 状態:憑依《影山さん》 付与《STR上昇・中》 付与《VIT上昇・中》 付与《AGI上昇・中》 付与《切断強化・中》 付与《命中率上昇・中》 カルマ値:-181《悪》 クラス:暗殺者 セカンドクラス:テイマー おお、素晴らしい強化具合じゃないですか。別に無くても構いませんけど時間短縮して損はないですからね、助かります。 「仲間じゃなかったんじゃねぇのかよ?! 」 「......どっちでもいい、彼は敵」 ユウさんに向かってくる矢を弾きながら毒針を投擲、これだけ数がいるのですから一人くらい新作の毒薬を喰らってくれませんかね? そのまま投擲を続けつつ突撃します。すぐさま前衛が前に出て後衛が下がりますが、関係ありません。 左右から長剣と斧が迫ります。振るわれる長剣を躱し、斧は短刀の柄で下からかち上げから横を通り抜け槍使いに短刀を振るい――――防御の姿勢を取ったところで神官の女の子に鉄片を投擲して頭をぶち抜きます。 「しまっ! 」 驚いた槍使いを他所にすぐさま反転して背後から斧使いと剣士を襲い、ユウさんを襲わせないよう牽制しつつ脇下からまた投擲――――もちろん今度は金属音と共に防がれますが、足止めが目的なので構いません。 重いために構えなおすのに他よりも時間がかかる斧使いを捨て置き、剣士に向かって短刀による突きを放ち、利き手を貫きます。剣道で言う小手ですね。 「ぐぅっ! 」 長剣を落とした剣士の首を刎ね飛ばしてから最初の位置に戻り、《聖壁》と《風壁》を発動してもらいます。 「《爆裂火炎》」 間を置かずして魔術師から放たれた魔術を防ぎ、再度突っ込み斧使いを強襲―――― 「そう何度もやられるかぁ!! 《大地律動》!!」 ――――強烈なエフェクトを伴い地面に叩き付けられた斧から放射状に地面が陥没し、隆起し、それに足を取られたところに槍が迫ります。 それを麻布さんと井上さんに引っ張ってもらってから後方に避け、牽制の鉄片と毒針を後衛に複数投げ付けます。 「《炎壁》! 」 「《雷雲剛矢》! 」 魔術で防がれさらに反撃を貰いますが、それをこちらも「《爆炎四刃》」にて打ち落とし、迫る斧を弾き、槍を吹き飛ばしてから斧使いの首へ捩じ込みます。 「がふぅっ?! 」 そのまま首のない胴体に火薬玉を仕込んで後衛に投げ飛ばします。何発か不発に終わりさほどの効果は見込めなくても、牽制にはなります。 復活した槍使いの一撃を頭を下げて躱し、短刀の柄で横から殴り付けて体勢を崩します。 すぐさま脇腹に回し蹴りを放ち、すぐ側の壁に打ち付けてから後衛に再突撃します。 「っ! 《熱線》! 」 「《キラーショット》! 」 後衛からの妨害を壁を走ることで回避しながら近づき、すぐさま次の矢を番える弓使いに鉄球を投岩スキルの「《流星》」で頭をぶち抜き、魔術師のお姉さんに自由落下と共に短刀を振り下ろし頭を左右に分断します。 「ハハッ、マジかよ......」 立ち上がってきた槍使いに向けて再度反転突撃します。 「......もう俺一人じゃねぇかよ! 」 叫びながらこちらと同様に突撃をしてくる槍使いの顔に向かって、砂粒を投げるのと一緒に《突風》を発動してもらい目潰しします。 そのまま槍を短刀の柄でかち上げてから腹を蹴り飛ばし、地面に引き倒してから秘技・くるみ割り――――小学生時代にお尻を触ってきた男子に使用して問題になった技――――を放ちます。 「――――ぅあ?! 」 『パキャン』という間抜けな音とビックリしたような顔に泡を吹いて槍使いはリスポーンしていきます。 「......終わりましたね」 「.........鬼だこの人」 何故か内股になっているユウさんの下へと戻っていき、『ベルゼンストック市』への道を急ぎます。 「ねぇ、なにしてるの? 」 未だに内股気味のユウさんが尋ねてきましたので答えておきましょう。 「通路に自作の爆薬を仕込んでいます」 「......なんで? もう出口はすぐそこだよ? 」 「ここはもうすぐ上が海ですから、爆破したら海水がなだれ込んでくるでしょう? 毎回出会ってすぐバトルなのは疲れるので他のプレイヤーが辿り着く時間稼ぎをするんですよ」 そうやって会話に応じながら階段から上がってすぐの通路に満遍なく爆薬を仕掛けていきます、天井だけでなく地面や壁にも仕掛けていきます。 「......そんなことして大丈夫なの? 」 「別にここを通らないと行けないわけでもないですし、そもそもここでは海水は水晶になるのでしょう? またすぐ通れるようになりますよ」 会話をしながら続けていた作業が終わりましたので爆破しましょう、それはもう盛大に。 「では、我々はここを出ますよ。時間経過で爆発しますのであと3分です」 「あ、ハイ」 遠い目をしたユウさんを連れて長かった地下通路をようやく抜け出ます。 んん〜〜、大体1週間ぶりぐらいですか? 外の空気が美味しいですし青空は眩しいです。まぁ、リアルでいくらでも堪能してましたけどね。 そうして感慨に耽っていると背後の地下通路出口から盛大な爆発音と共に左手側にある海で海水が大きく吹き上がり、その後すぐに渦潮が発生します。

Chapter 29 North Underground Passage 5 Yuu: "This person is beyond saving..." Along with his extremely impolite remarks, he-Yuu-san moved a step back. Let's see what got strengthened,...oh? Name: {Rena} | Gender: {Woman} Race: {Human} | Level: {40} Condition: {Possessed <<Kageyama-san>> } Granted <<STR Increase * Medium>> Granted <<VIT Increase * Medium>> Granted <<AGI Increase * Medium>> Granted <<Cut Strengthening * Medium>> Granted <<Accuracy Increase * Medium>> Karma Value: {-181 <<Evil>> } Class: {Assassin} | Second Class: {Tamer} Ooh, aren't these great enhancements? It doesn't matter if I don't have it, though with this, it will save my time. Hannes: "So he isn't your comrade?!" Myra: "...Either way, he's an enemy." I threw a poison needle while she aimed her bow towards Yuu-san. Because there are a lot enemies for one person, why don't I let her eat one of my new poison, yes? I charged in while continuing to throw the needles. The vanguard immediately went forward and the rear-guard stepped back, but that doesn't matter. A longsword and an axe are approaching from both sides. I dodged the waving longsword, lifted up the axe from below with the hilt of my dagger, slipped through from their side, and swung my dagger towards the spear user---While he's in his defensive position, I threw iron scraps at the priest girl and removed her head. Kellin: "Shi-!!" The axe user and the swordsman attacked from behind immediately after the surprised spear user rolled over to another spot. I threw another needle again from the flank to prevent an attack towards Yuu-san---Naturally this time it was prevented with a metallic sound, but it's okay as the purpose was to stop the attack. I ignored the axe user who takes more time to re-establish his axe because it's heavier than the others, thrust my dagger at the swordsman and pierced through with my dominant hand. It's called "Kote" in Kendo, you see. Ryne: "Guh!!" I then returned to my initial position and cast both <<Holy Wall>> and <<Wind Wall>> . Eleanor: "<<Exploding Flame>> !" Without a pause, I blocked the magic that was released by the magician and the axe user once again tried to attack--- Hannes: "You think I will let you get me once again!?! <<Earth Rhythm>> !!" --------The ground radiates with intense effect from the axe that was slammed into the ground, elevated me, and the spear user approaches the place where he could get my footing. After having Azabu-san and Inoue-san pulled me, I avoided it backwards and threw several iron scraps and poison needles towards the rear guard. Eleanor: "<<Firewall>> !" Myra: "<<Thundercloud Arrow>> !" They defended it with magic and furthermore tried to counterattack. However, I also shot it down <<Four Exploding Blades>> , repelled the approaching axe, drove away the spear, and thrust my dagger into the axe user's neck. Hannes: "Gafuh?!" Like so, I put explosive balls inside the headless body and threw it away to the rear guard. Whether it will explode many times or not even explode at all, it will still keep them restrained. I lowered my head and dodged the attack from the spear user who has recovered and bashed him with the hilt of my dagger from the side to make him lose his position. I released a roundhouse kick immediately from his side which knocked him against the wall and attacked the rear guard again. Eleanor: "!! <<Heat Ray>> !" Myra: "<<Killer Shot>> !" I approached while avoiding the obstacles from the rear guards by running on the wall. Then, I threw an iron ball with the <<Meteor>> skill immediately to the archer who was fixing her next arrow which went through and smashed her head. Finally, I swung my dagger down while free-falling towards the miss magician, thus dividing her head into two parts. Kellin: "Haah haah, you've got to be kidding me..." Once again, the recovered spear user charged in, rolled over and attacked. Kellin: "...I'm the only one left, huh!?" I cast <<Gust>> and threw grains of sand at his face who was shouting while doing the same attacks. Like that, I lifted the spear with the hilt of my dagger, kicked his stomach, pulled him down to the ground, and then used my secret technique, The Nutcracker---a technique that I used on a boy who had touched my buttocks in elementary school which led him having a utilization problem---Release. Kellin: "--------uWAA?!" Alongside the silly "Pakyan" sound, the spear user who had a surprised look and foams on his mouth will now wait to respawn. Rena: "...It's over, yes?" Yuu: "...this person is a demon." I returned back to Yuu-san who for some reason, became pigeon-toed and hurried our way to {Belzenstock City} . Yuu: "Hey, what are you doing?" Because Yuu-san, who still seems to not recovered yet, asked such question, let's answer it. Rena: "I'm preparing self-made explosives along the passage." Yuu: "...Why? The exit is already right there, though?" Rena: "Because the sea will be right above us, the seawater will surge in here if we blow these up, right? It would be tiring to battle immediately every time we encounter someone, hence I'm trying to buy some time for the other players to reach here." Like so, I set up some explosives evenly along the passage immediately after going up the stairs while responding to his questions, not only on the ceiling but also on the ground and walls. Yuu: "...would that be alright?" Rena: "It's not as if they can't go nor pass here, and to begin with, the seawater will eventually turn into crystals in this place, right? With that being said, they will be able to pass here again soon, yes?" The work that I've been doing while we were talking is complete, so let's blow it up, that is to say, naturally with a large scale. Rena: "Now then, we'll now leave this place. It will explode in about three minutes." Yuu: "Ah, I finally get out from the long underground passage along with Yuu-san, who is having distant eyes. Hmmm, it should be around one week, I guess? The outside air is pleasant and the blue sky is dazzling. Well, I had enjoyed it as much as I wanted in the real world, though. While being deeply moved by the scenery, the seawater on the left side of us blew up along with a huge explosion sound rang from the underground passage exit behind us, and thus a whirlpool will be created soon afterwards.

50.第一回公式イベント・一日目 真っ白な視界が開けるとそこは草原であり―― 「げぇっ?! ジェノサイダー!! 」 ――二組のパーティーが居ましたね、ランダムとは言え初っ端から三組が会敵するとは幸先が良いですね。 「おい、そっちの! ここは共闘――」 敵の数を確認すると共に片方のリーダーだと思われる男性の頭を鉄片を投擲することで貫きキルし、そのまま足元に『火炎魔術』の《噴射》により安定した加速によってパーティーのド真ん中に躍り出ます。 「リーダー?! 」 未だにこちらに反応し切れていない彼らを尻目にその推進力を殺すこと無くパーティーのヒーラーと思わしき男性の首を後ろ回し蹴りによって折り砕く。 その時の悲鳴によってやっとこちらを向いた魔術師の女性の首を片手で締め上げながら再度《噴射》によって加速し反対のパーティーへと突っ込み、手に持っていた女性を振り回して前衛と後衛を分断します。その後は女性に火薬玉と毒煙玉を仕込んで前衛に投擲し、背後を確認せずに後衛に突撃、詠唱していた魔術師の首を鉄片の投擲によって貫いて殺し、ヒーラーの足を引っ掛けて転ばしながらもう一人の魔術師の首を落として足元に転がったヒーラーの女性の首を踏み折り殺します。 「て、撤退だ!! 」 撤退の指示を出すのは片方のリーダーであり、その掛け声に残ったもの同士で臨時のパーティーを再編成して逃げようとします。が、その先へと鉄球を砲弾のようにして投擲、剣士の頭をぶち抜き巻き込みながら地面に着弾し盛大に爆発炎上、毒煙まで噴き出します。 最初ですから仕方ありませんが、物足りませんね..................。 「宣戦布告の彼をただ待つのも退屈ですし、当初の予定通り『遊び』ましょう」 その場を後にしつつこの広大な草原地帯を見回し、見事に何も無いことに溜め息が漏れました。 ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ たった今襲撃してきたパーティーを殲滅したところだが、そろそろ30分が経ちマップに表示される頃だろう。 「おっ、出たぞ」 「そうね」 「僕は良かったと思うけどね? 」 俺らが居るこの岩山のフィールドとおそらくレーナが居るであろう草原のフィールドは大分離れてる。 「ジェノサイダーちゃんだけ目立ってるねぇ〜」 「............色が濃ゆいし印が大きいですから一目でわかります」 早くレーナのところに行かねぇと! アイツに限ってそう簡単にやられるとは思わねぇが、ポイントや名声狙いの奴らに断続的に襲われれば精神的に疲れるはずだ。 「............私も構いません、彼女には言いたいことがあります」 「奴を射抜くまでスッキリしない」 「......いや、連絡先教えてほしいかなって? 」 「てめぇ......」 「はぁ......」 「......最低」 「あまりそういうのは感心しません」 「いや、だって......可愛いのは事実だし? 」 確かにそうだがアイツはダメだ!! 憤慨する俺をラインが窘め、ケリンがケラケラ笑いながらレーナを目指して先へ進んでいく。

Chapter 50 - The First Day Of The Event Once the teleportation finished, the surroundings became clear, and I could see that I was in the middle of a vast meadow. "I-it's the Genocider!" Someone nearby said while pointing at me. Directly near me, there were two enemy parties. It was fortunate that the random distribution already put three groups of different factions together. "Hey, we should join forces!" One of them said while looking at the other party. While they were talking to one another, I threw some iron scraps at the guy that just spoke and pierced his head, instantly killing him. Then I used <Fire Magic> at my feet to create a <Jet Propulsion> and used it to jump in the middle of their party. "Leader?!" One of the nearby enemies said. They didn't start reacting to my attack yet, so I made use of that to kill the man that looked like their healer with a roundhouse kick to his neck. After that I put one of my poisonous smokebombs on her mouth and threw her as a living bomb towards their fighters. While they were confused by it, I killed their other magician by throwing an iron scrap at his neck before he finished whatever he was casting, and then kicked their last healer's neck, killing them as well. With only some of their fighters left, the remaining leader of the two parties shouted "Retreat!" Before they had the chance though, I threw an iron ball at one of their swordsman's head, which smashed it to death and also exploded, leaving flames and poisonous smoke in the surroundings. It can't be helped since the event just started, but this isn't nearly enough... It would be boring to wait until the guy that declared war on me came, so let's just 'play' around as I originally planned. And as such, I started looking around this vast meadow, though I couldn't help sighing at the splendid nothingness all around me. ****** We had just defeated a party that had been attacking us, and the fight just happened to end at about 30 minutes since the event started. "Oh, it's live," Kellin muttered. "Yeah," Ryne replied. "Isn't that a good thing though?" Kellin commented. Considering the distance between the mountainous area we're in, and the grassland that Rena is at... "Won't we only reach her in the last day of the event? And even then, the timing will still be tight, won't it?" I asked to no one in particular. "It's amazing that the genocider is the only one that stands out this much, isn't it?" Myra commented cheerfully. "Her marker in the map is so large and it is of such a deep black hue... It only takes a glance to identify her," Cherry noted. That's no good! I have to meet her soon! Considering how infamous she is, she'll definitely be attacked all the time, which might make her mentally tired, and then her concentration might slip, so someone might be able to actually defeat her at that point... "Let's hurry! I have to be the one to beat her!" I exclaimed. "... I suppose it's fine. I have something to say to her anyways." Cherry said. "Sure, let's do it. I won't be satisfied until I shoot through her anyways." Myra also agreed with the plan. "... Rather than holding a grudge, I kind of want her phone number instead." Kellin clarified. "You..." Myra seemed angry. "Huh...?" Cherry didn't seem to have understood what he just said yet. "... You're the lowest." Eleanor seemed to have lost any hope that she could have had for him. "I guess I really shouldn't be surprised by those reactions..." Kellin said. "But well, isn't she just super cute?" He complemented. Just because it's true, it doesn't make her any good! Even Ryne was astonished at this point, but Kellin just kept laughing while aiming at Rena! Seriously!?

56.第一回公式イベント・四日目 「ひっ......いや、離して! 」 「し、信じられるわけない! リスナーの皆さん早く助けて! 」 「そうですよ、早く来ないと暇つぶしに何かするかも知れませんよ」 「は、早く助けて! 」 「——————《暗黒領域》」 「誰か視界補助のスキルか魔術を! 」 彼らがそれに対応する前にメイルさん............でしたか? 彼女の長い髪を全て剃りあげます。 「彼女には酷いことしないんじゃなかったのか?! 」 「いやぁあ! 私の髪がぁぁあ!! 」 この毒ガスには色が着いていますからね、この《暗黒領域》をなんとかできても視界は塞げるでしょう、そのまま隠密系統を全開にして洞窟から脱出します。 「............それでは、さよならですね」 彼女を引き摺っていた時と集団の中央を駆け抜けていた時にばら蒔いていた爆薬が起爆し巨大な爆音と共に彼らを洞窟ごと生き埋めにします。 「念のために......《延焼》《微風》」 炎が燃え広がりやすいように補助魔術を掛けてから直ぐにその場を離れます。山の中腹で起こった大爆発と火事の影響で土砂崩れが起き、麓まで来ていた囲い第二陣の幾人かを巻き込んでいきます。 少し確認してみましょう............うわ、相当ポイントが稼げてますね? 人数が多かったのもありますが質が高い人も混じっていたようですね? もうイベントも半分を切りましたし、生き残りを探すのも大変ですね。 「ハン......ネスさんとユウさんは生き残っていますかね? 」

Chapter 56 - The Fourth Day Of The Event "Stop...! Let go of me!" Said the girl. "I can't believe you! Please, viewers, help me soon!" She shouted. "Yes, please do come soon, otherwise I might do something if I end up getting bored." I said while smiling at the camera and giving them a small wink. "Please hurry up and save me!" The girl screamed. "<Darkness Domain>" I said while activating a spell with the aid of Kageyama's <Black Magic>. It made the entire cave much darker than it already was, making it basically impossible for them to see anything. "Someone use light magic already!" Another said while panicking. Before they could react to it, I cut off the hair of this Meiru girl. She seemed to take a while to understand what just happened. "Did the Genocider do something horrible after all?" Another asked... That's a bit rude. I didn't do anything horrible. "M-my hair!" She seemed to still be in disbelief. "Gah! What's this!?" One of them exclaimed as he saw the poisonous cloud surrounding them. It's a colored gas to boot, so even if they were able to cleanse my <Darkness Domain>, they'd still have their vision impaired by the poison. Not to mention the cave itself already makes it hard to see. "Well, time to say goodbye." I told no one in particular. At that point, I activated all the explosives I had scattered around while dragging the girl around the cave. The explosion was big enough to collapse the cave and bury almost all of them below a pile rubble. "And to be sure there are no survivors... <Growing Flames> and <Breeze>." As soon as I finished casting those spells, I quickly left the cave in case the rest of it collapsed and buried me together with the group. Surprisingly, the explosion also caused a landslide that ended up killing most of their secondary group that was waiting on the foot of the mountain that the cave was in. It really worked out much better than expected. Now let's see... Wow, I really got a lot of points this time around. There surely were a lot of people, but they also seem to be high-leveled... I suppose that's understandable though, over half of the players that were in the event must be gone already, so whoever is still around must be quite tough. I wonder if that Han... Hannes guy and Yuu are still alive... It should be about time for us to meet now, shouldn't it?

「親分早くしてくだせぇ! 戦線が持ちません! 」 「わかっている! あとこれだけでいい! 」 クソっ! 今まで順調だったのにどうしてこうなる?! 何が起きてるんだ?! クソ親父にムーンライト・ファミリーを破門されてから虎視眈々と復讐の機会を狙ってきた。 油断も隙も無かったはずだ、慎重に事を運び少しずつバレないようにムーンライト・ファミリーのシマを削り、バレない程度に組員を拉致して情報を吐かせ、時には買収し、幹部の1人をこちらの息のかかった奴にすることもできた! 最近街で起きた事件の影響でさらに勢力を拡大することもできた、後は今までの行いを続けながら小競り合いをし、機を見て本部に強襲を仕掛けるだけだったのに!! どうして上手くいかない?!! 「よし! 逃げるぞ! 」 敵がムーンライトの者か、それともさじ加減を間違えて領主の尖兵が来たのか。そのどっちかはわからんが、向こうに渡ってはまずい帳簿や資料と幾つかの貴金属を手にし、側近に用意ができたと振り向いたところで―――― 「どちらに行かれるのですか? 」 ――――さっきまですぐ側に居た側近の首を片手に女が隣に立っていた。 《カルマ値が下降しました》 《称号:人種キラーを獲得しました》 これでヤガン・ファミリーの本部は終わりですね、後は残った日数で支部を潰していけば完全に終わりですね。 「皆さんもお疲れ様です、特に麻布さんと井上さんはそれとなく動作の補助大変助かりました、ありがとう存じます」 『――――! 』 『ヴゥ! 』 『イィ! 』 「ふふ、元気なようでなによりです」 さてとこの館を探索して良い物がないか物色してから帰りましょうか、それが終わったら今日はもうログアウトですね。 さて、あれから約束の一週間が経ちましたね、その間に私はヤガン・ファミリーを完膚なきまでに潰しておきました。名簿にあった幹部から上は全員首を塩漬けにしてありますし、これなら文句は出ないでしょう。 そのまま一週間前にも立ち寄った路地裏の酒場に入っていきますが............皆さんこちらをすごい勢いで二度見しましたね。 「お前さんか......こっちだ、ついてこい」 この前の人ですね、言われたとおりに素直についていきます。 まず裏口から外に出て、細い路地に入り途中の建物の中に入り、2階から洗濯物を干すための立てかけられた道を通り反対側の建物の屋上へ渡り、一旦そこからまた外に出て、回り込んでからまた同じ建物に入り、2階に上がったと思ったら地下に下り、そのまま地下通路を通っていくと扉が現れました。 「......随分と入り組んでいますね? 」 「やましいことがあるからな」 そのまま扉を開いていき中へ入ります、そのまま連れられて奥に進み一際豪華な一室の前へ着きます。 「親父、エレンだ! 例の女を連れてきた」 「............入れ」 この人エレンさんというのですね、何気に初めて知りました。 エレンさんが中へ声をかけると渋い声が入るように促します。それに従いエレンさんが扉を開けて中に入っていきます。それに続き私も入室します。 「......その女がか」 「えぇ、そうです」 値踏みするように見られますが、こういう視線は嫌いじゃありません。少なくとも私の価値を見ようとしてくれている証拠ですからね。 「ふん、幹部に成り立てだからビビったんだろ? お前には気概というものが足りない」 「......そうかい」 なにやら喧嘩腰の方がいますが仕方ありませんね、ヤクザな人は面子が大事とどこかで聞いたことがあります。貴族と一緒で常に見栄をはり、隙を見せた相手にマウントを取らないと死んでしまう生き物なのです。 「女1人に親父や俺たちの手を煩わせやがって、なんなら俺がこの女を始末して――――」 「――――よせ」 おや? なにやら不穏な空気になりかけたところで親分さんが止めましたね、まぁ止めなかったらあの人の首は胴体と泣き別れしてましたけど。 「その女に手を出すな、あれは人間じゃない」 「......親父が言うのであれば従いましょう」 そう言ってこちらを睨みつけるに留めます。どうやらここの親父さんは部下から大変慕われているようですね。 「いつまで立っているんだ、そこに座りなさい。話を聞こう」 「それでは失礼して」 やはりソファーはふかふかですね。そのまま私が座ったのを合図に綺麗な女性が紅茶とお茶菓子を用意して去っていきます。教育が行き届いているようで感心ですね。 「それで話とは? 」 「エレンさんから聞いてないのですか? 」 「お前さんの口から聞きたい」 なるほど、道理ですね。本人の口から聞かないと後からシラを切られるだけですから。 「私が指名手配されてるのはもうご存知だとは思いますが、そのせいで不自由を被っているんですよ。街中を堂々と歩けないのは別に構わないんですけど施設を利用できないのは面倒臭いんです」 「それでワシらに領主になれ、と? 」 「お前さんの要求には無理がある。なると言って簡単になれるものではないし、第一なれたとしても次は国から討伐軍が来るだけじゃ。そこらへんはどうする? 」 ちゃんと考えているようで安心ですね、ここですぐさま頷くようでは用はありません。 「まず領主の子供と妻を全員殺します。その後にエレンさんあたりを隠し子だなんだと理由をつけて後継者に据えます。要は正統性があればいいのですから、家督を簒奪してしまえばよいのです」 「そう上手くいくとは思えんがな? 」 「大丈夫です、実行は全てこちらでやります。あなた方には物資の提供と成功したあとの諸々の処理、そして領主としての便宜を図ってくれればそれでいいです。万が一失敗した場合は素知らぬ顔をしてればそれで構いません」 「ふむぅ......」 別に失敗してもいいんですよねぇ〜、国の討伐軍が来ても次はそれを鑑賞するか飛び込んで引っ掻き回すだけですし、なんなら討伐軍の司令官だけをひたすら殺し続けるのも面白そうですね? 「......お前さんを放っておくとなにやらさらに不味い事態になる気がするのぉ。わかった、協力しようではないか」 「そうですか? ありがとう存じます」 協力を無事に得ることができましたね、なによりです。 「......その前にヤガン・ファミリーを潰したと言ったな? そこのボスの首はあるのか? 」 「? これですか? 」 そう言って私はヤガンの首の塩漬けをテーブルの上に乗せます。死んだ時と同様に間抜けな表情をしています、こんな物がどうしたんでしょうね? 「............」 「まさか本当に......」 「お腹痛い、胃薬どこだっけ? 」 周りがざわめく中エレンさんは胃薬を探しています、大丈夫でしょうか? 胃が悪かったのですね、そうは見えませんでしたが............。 「............バカ息子め」 「確かにヤガンの首だ。報酬の前払いも貰ったことだし協力を約束しよう」 「本当ですか? それはなによりです」 「この後はどうするね? 」 「この後一旦休みます、明日細かい準備を終わらせて明後日にはもう決行です」 「随分と性急だな、あいわかった」 「エレン、送って行きなさい」 「............はい」 そのままエレンさんに来た道を案内され酒場で別れてから宿屋に帰還し、ログアウトです。

Enemy: "Boss! Please hurry up! The battle won't wait for you!" Yagan: "I know! I just need to do this first!" Fuck! Even though we were doing well until now, how did this happen?! What is happening?! Since that shitty old man tried to make Moonlight Family surrender, they have been aiming for a chance to get revenge against us. We should have been secretly shaving away Moonlight Family's territory little by little and abducting their members without carelessness nor gaps and successfully taking over their family! Heck, we even captured one of their leaders as well! We were able to expand our power further with the help of the recent incident in the city. What we have to do left should only be continuing our expansion while doing skirmishes and attacking their headquarters when we see an opening!! But how come it's not going that well?!! Yagan: "Alright! Let's escape!" Is the enemy from Moonlight, or is it the lord's vanguard who we have misjudged? I don't know either way, but in any case, when I turned around after getting the confidential account book, documents and some precious metals--- Rena: "Where are you going?" ------A woman stood close while grabbing the head of my close aide who was on my side not too long ago. Rena: "Pardon the intrusion~" Rena: "Understood." With this, Yagan Family's headquarter is now gone and my task will be over when their branches are destroyed in these remaining days, yes? Rena: "Everyone as well, thank you for your hard work. Especially Azabu-san and Inoue-san who have been extremely helpful in assisting my actions indirectly, I'm very grateful to you." Yamada: {----!} Kageyama: {Uuu!} Inoue: {Iiii!} Rena: "Fufu, it's wonderful when everyone seem to be in full spirit, yes?" Well then, let's explore this building and look for something good before we return, and once that's over, I will log out for today. Now then, the promised one week has passed, yes? In that meantime, I had completely destroyed Yagan family by the end of the day. All of the top leaders' heads that are on the list have already been salted, so with this, there won't be any complaint from them. I went into the bar in the back alley where I stopped by a week ago, however... everyone was very surprised when they saw me. Aniki: "So it's you, huh?......This way, follow me." I will be obedient and follow him just like he said. We first went out from the back door, then we entered a building in a narrow alleyway, went up to the second floor and to the roof of the opposite building. We were in that building for a short time as we entered the same building again. When I thought that we will go up to the second floor again, we instead went downstairs to the basement where I could see a door in my vision. Rena: "...it's surprisingly complicated, I see?" Aniki: "Because we have some envious things, you see." He opened the door and we went inside. I was then taken to the back and arrived in front of a remarkably luxurious room. Aniki/Eren: "Boss, it's Eren! I have brought the woman that I have told you." Boss: "............Come in." This person is Eren-san, I see? I just realized that this is the first time that I know him. There was reply with a refined voice after Eren-san called out to the inside of the room. Obeying so, Eren-san opened the door and went inside. I then entered the room following him. Boss: "...Is that the woman?" Eren: "Yes, that's right." It looks like he's appraising me but I don't dislike it. It's at least a proof that he's trying to see my value, yes. Moonlight Leader: "Hmm, you're just scared because you have only become a leader, aren't you? You don't have enough guts." Boss: "...Is that so?" There's still someone who's being noisy, but it can't be helped as I have heard that the Yakuza people value honor. They are creatures that always try to look good towards the nobles and will die if they are not mounting them. Moonlight Leader: "Troubling the boss and us with only a single woman, how about I kill this woman, th---" Boss: "----stop it." Oya? Somehow this boss-san stopped him when it was about to become a disturbing scene. Though, if he did not stop him, I will only separate that person's head from his torso. Boss: "Don't try to do anything to her, she's not human." Moonlight Leader: "...If the boss says so, I will obey." He said so and stopped what he was about to do. Apparently, the boss here is very well received by his subordinates. Boss: "How long are you going to stand there? Sit right over there and let's talk." Rena: "Well then, pardon me." As expected the sofa is soft and fluffy. Then, as if the time where we sit is a signal, a beautiful woman comes and leaves only to put down the tea and snacks on the table. I am impressed by how well-educated she is. Boss: "So, what do you want to talk?" Rena: "Have you not heard it from Eren-san?" Boss: "I want to hear it from your mouth." I see, it's no wonder, yes? If he doesn't hear it from that person's mouth, he'll just pretend to know nothing. Rena: "I think you already know that I'm someone who is currently on the wanted list. Hence, I'm suffering from the inconvenience. It doesn't matter that I can't walk around in the city but, it's troublesome that I cannot use the facilities." Boss: "And you want us to become the feudal lord?" Boss: "There are some things that would be impossible to handle by accepting your request. We can't simply say that it can be dealt easily and even if we become the top, our next enemies would be the punitive forces from the kingdom, you know? What will you do about that?" It's a relief that he can think properly, yes? With this, there won't be any sign of agreeing immediately here. Rena: "First, kill all of lord's children and his wife. After that, we will make Eren-san to be the successor by saying that he's the lord's illegitimate child. In short, politically speaking, it should be okay as it's already good if he can usurp the family head title." Boss: "Do you think it would work that well?" Rena: "It will be alright as I will carry out everything here. It's already good enough if your people can provide the supplies, handle the various things after the usurpation, and plan to take the lord's advantage. If by any chance you failed to do so, it doesn't matter if you pretend to not know anything." Boss: "Fumu..." It will also be interesting as well to earnestly continue to kill the commander, don't you agree? Boss: "...I feel like it will be even more problematic if I leave you alone. Alright, let's cooperate." Rena: "Is that so? Thank you very much." I was able to get their cooperation safely. That's excellent. Boss: "...You did say that you are going to destroy Yagan Family before, right? Is that the boss' head over there?" Rena: "? Do you mean this?" Having said that, I put the salted Yagan's head on the table and everyone made a stupid facial expressions similar to the ones that died back then. Is there something wrong with this thing? Boss: "......" Moonlight Leader: "No way, she really..." Eren: "My stomach hurts, where's stomach medicine again?" Eren-san is searching for a stomach medicine while the surroundings turn astir. Will he be alright? He said his stomach is hurting, yes? Though, he didn't look like he's hurting before......... Boss: "............you stupid child." Boss: "Yes, it's certainly Yagan's head. We have gotten our advance payment so we promise to cooperate with you." Rena: "Is that true? That's wonderful." Boss: "What will you do after this?" Rena: "I will take a temporary break for today. I will finish the minor preparation tomorrow and act the day after tomorrow." Boss: "You're surprisingly impatient, huh? Alright, I understand." Boss: "Eren, go escort her." Eren: "............Yes." I was then guided by Eren-san to the road where we came from and returned to the inn after separating with him at the bar and logged out.

「......お姉ちゃんお腹空いた」 そう言って私は横になりながらお姉ちゃんの服の裾を掴む。 この知らない街に連れてこられてもう2週間が経つ。すぐに怖い人から逃げられたのは良かったけど、毎日色んなところでゴミを漁っても食べられる日は少ない。 今日だって一日中歩き回ってパン半分の値段の硬貨を拾っただけ......暗くなってきて活動するのもできなくなった。 「......ごめんね、でももう寝ないと」 「ううん、わがまま言ってごめんなさい」 お姉ちゃんだって辛いんだ、今日だってなけなしの野菜屑を私に分けて自分は何も食べてなかった。 明日こそは私が頑張って..................お姉ちゃんを.............................. 「............ごめんね、少し待っててね」 ..............................はっ?! 寝ちゃってた、かわりばんこに見張りしないと腕を切り落とされちゃうのに..................。 「......アレ? お姉ちゃん? 」 お姉ちゃんが居ない? もしかして置いていかれちゃった? いや、お姉ちゃんは優しいからそんなことしない、じゃあどこに? もしかして捕まっちゃった?! 探しに行かないと! 「お姉ちゃん? どこ? 」 暗い路地をキョロキョロと見渡しながら探していると案外すぐに見つかった。 「お姉ちゃっ......? 」 誰? お姉ちゃんが知らないおじさんと一緒にいる、何を話してるんだろう? その人は私たちの腕を切り落とそうとしない人? 「あっ、行っちゃう! 」 そのまま2人でさらに隣の路地に入っていく、急いでその後を追いかける。 「なにしてるんだろ? 」 少し奥まったところに入っただけで何か布のような物を敷きだした......そこにお姉ちゃんが寝転がり、その上にさっきのおじさんが........................ 「わ、わぁぁぁああぁぁあ!!!! か、火事だァァァァァァァ!!!! 」 私はお姉ちゃんが何をしようとしてるのか理解してしまった、捕まった最初の時に説明されたことの1つだ、私がわがまま言ったからだ! ごめんなさい、ごめんなさい、ごめんなさい!! 「ねぇ、火事だってば! 逃げないと! 」 私が精一杯の大声で叫んでもおじさんは最初の方にビックリしただけでお姉ちゃんの上からどこうとしない、それどころか服を引っ張ってる。 「っ! なんで! 」 「あ? うるせぇガキはすっこんでろ! 大体こんな水が溢れる場所で火事なんか起こるわけねぇだろ! 起こったとしてもすぐに鎮火されるわ! 」 今の自分に精一杯の嘘をついてお姉ちゃんを助けようとするもお姉ちゃんはこちらをビックリした表情で眺め、おじさんはまともに取り合ってくれない。 それどころか........................ 「あ? よく見たらガキでも女じゃねぇか、お前も売りたいならそう言え」 このおじさんが何を言ってるのか理解できない、売る? 売るって何を? 「っ! 待って! この子には手を出さないで! 私が相手をするから! 」 「あ? お前らみたいなガキ一人で満足するわけねぇだろ? 」 「ぅ、お、お姉ちゃん逃げようよ......」 お姉ちゃんが必死に私を庇おうとすると、私も必死に逃走を促す。 「うるせぇ! 金が欲しいんだろ?! 」 「うっ! 」 お姉ちゃんがぶたれる......なんで? どうして? 私たちは何も悪いことしてないのに、誰か......神様じゃなくてもいい、誰か..................。 「だ、誰か助けてぇ!! 」 「あっ! このガキ黙れ! 」 私が泣き叫ぶとおじさんはこちらに勢いよく腕を振り上げる。それを頭を庇い、お姉ちゃんが必死に止めようとするのを眺めて–––––––––– 「――――わかりました、助けてあげますね」 ――――なぜかおじさんの首が落ちた。 「ぅえ? 」 お姉ちゃんも何が起きたのか分からないようだ、私もいつの間にか泣き止んでそれを成したであろう人物を見上げる。 とっても綺麗な女の人だった。月の光を反射する一部が白い綺麗な黒髪に、夜の闇で一際目立つ紅い瞳......この人が神様じゃないなら........................。 「悪魔? 」 「ある意味間違ってない............」 「何か言いましたかユウさん? 」 「っ! い、いえ! なんでもごさいません! 」 もう一人いたようだ、私の呟きに反応してさっきの女の人が手に持っている短刀を首に突きつけられてる。 「......まぁ、いいでしょう。それよりもあなたたちのお名前は? 行くところがないのなら私が面倒を見ましょう」 「っ!? 本当に?! わ、私はニアって言います! 」 「に、ニア! 」 これでお腹空くこともお姉ちゃんが酷い目にあうこともなくなる! でもお姉ちゃんはまだ警戒してるみたい............。 「大丈夫ですよ? 私はあなたたちの敵ではありません。どうかお名前を教えてくださりませんか? 」 「............メア、です」 お姉ちゃんも警戒してても現状は変わらないことは理解できてる、なら少なくともこの場を救ってくれたこの人に縋ることにしたようだ。 「メアさんにニアさんですね、わかりました。では一先ずここを離れ――――」 「――――お前らその子たちに何をしている? 場合によってはただじゃ済まさんぞ......」 今度は大きい男の人が現れて女の人を睨みつけながら声を掛けてきた、もうさっきから何がなんだかわからない。 「いきなりなんですか? 不躾な方ですね、私はこの子たちを助けただけですよ」 「......」 男の人はチラッとおじさんの死体を見てからこちらを見てきたので頷いておく。 「どうやら、そうらしいな」 「えぇ、信じてもらえましたか? ではこれで、私はこの子たちを連れていきますね」 「いいや、その子たちは俺たちが保護する」 「..................保護? この子たちを? 奴隷のあなたが? 笑わせないでください」 よく見れば大きい男の人の左頬には私たちと同じ奴隷の印があった、暗くてよく見えなかった。 「お前たちこそ逃亡奴隷を連れてどうするつもりだ」 なんだか女の人と男の人が険悪な雰囲気になって怖い。いつも頼れるお姉ちゃんはいきなりの急展開に私と同じく困惑してる。 「えぇ......? ちょっとレーナさーん? なんで喧嘩腰なの〜? 」 女の人の後ろにいた男の子はもっと頼りなさそうだった..............................。

"... Sis, I'm hungry." Clinging to the hem of my big sister's clothes, I was complaining while lying down. Two weeks had passed since we were brought to this unknown city. It was nice that we could immediately escape from that scary person, but we had to scrounge the garbage for food every day. Some days we went without food at all. We walked around all day today and only managed to pick up a coin that was not even enough to afford half a loaf of bread... Since it was getting dark, we decided to stop searching and took shelter. "... I'm sorry, but it's bedtime already." "No, I'm sorry to say something so selfish." My big sister was suffering too. She did not eat anything since she shared the little vegetable scraps with me. I would do my best tomorrow... Sis... "... I'm sorry, please wait for a little bit." ... Huh?! I fell asleep! It was supposed to be my turn to be on the lookout because our arms would be cut off if I didn't... "... Eh? Sis?" Where did my big sister go? Could she have left me? No, she was too kind of a person to do something like that. So where could she have gone? Did she get caught?! I had to go find her! "Big sis! Where are you?" I was searching and goggling at every dark alley to find her. Unexpectedly, I found her right away. "Big sis...?" Who was that? She was with an unknown old man. What were they talking about? Was that the person who was trying to cut off our arms? "Oh, they're leaving!" The two of them went into the next alley. I had to hurry and go after them. "What are they doing?" They went into a secluded part of the alley and laid something like a cloth on the ground... My sister laid there, and the old man on top of her... "A-aaaaaaaah!!! F-fire --!!!!!" I figured out what she was trying to do. It was explained to me when we were caught the first time; because I said something so selfish! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! "Hey, there's a fire! We have to run!" Upon hearing my scream, the old man was surprised at first. But he did not budge from on top of my sister and started to pull off clothes instead. "Eh? Why?!" "Huh? Shut up, brat! I don't think there's a fire in a place that overflows with water like this! Even if there is, it will be extinguished soon!" I even lied with all my might to save my big sister, but it fell on deaf ears. My sister gazed at me with a startled look. Instead... "Heh? Taking a closer look, you're a girl though still a brat. So just let me know if you want to sell, too." I could not understand what this old man was saying. Sell? Sell what? "Huh! Wait! Don't touch her! I'll be your partner!" "Hah! You don't suppose I'd be satisfied with only one brat like you, do you?" "Uh, S-sis, let's run away ...." While my sister was desperately trying to protect me, I was desperately urging her to escape. "Shut up! You want money, don't you?!" "Ugh!" He hit my sister... Why? Why? We didn't do anything wrong. Someone... even if it's not god, anyone... "H-help! Please help!!" "Ah! Shut up you brat!" The old man raised his hand ready to strike me, while I was crying and screaming. I guarded my head, while my sister was desperately trying to stop him, and then I saw--. "-- Okay, I'll help you." -- Somehow the old man's head fell to the ground. "Huh?" Shocked, my big sister seemed unable to wrap her head around what just happened. I stopped crying and stared up at that person without realizing it. It was a very beautiful lady. Part of her beautiful black hair was white where the moonlight bounced off. Her crimson eyes were striking in the darkness... If this person was not god... "A demon?" "Well, in a sense, you're not wrong..." "Did you say something, Yuu?" "Huh? N-no! I didn't say anything!" There seemed to be another person responding to my comment earlier. The lady who saved us had her knife to his throat. "... Well, whatever. By the way, what are your names? If you have nowhere to go, let me take care of you." "Huh?! Really?! I-I'm Nia!" "Ni-Nia!" With this, we would not be hungry anymore, and my big sister would not have to suffer anymore! But she seemed to be extremely cautious... "Don't worry. I'm not your enemy. Would you please tell me your name?" "... I'm Mea." She understood that the current situation would not change even if she was being extremely cautious. She decided to cling to our savior for just a little. "Mea and Nia. All right. Let's leave this place for the time being --." "-- What are you doing to those children? Depending on the situation, you might not get away without consequences ...." A big man appeared and stared at the lady while calling out to her. I did not know what was going on anymore. "What is it, so suddenly? What an impudent person. I was just helping these children." "..." After glancing at the old man's lifeless body, the man looked toward us and nodded. "So it seems." "Oh, so you believe me? In that case, I'm going to take these children with me." "No, we will take custody of those children." "... Custody? These children? A slave like you? Please don't joke around." It was too dark to see well at first glance, but looking more closely the big man's left cheek bore the slave seal just like ours. "What will do with fleeing slaves anyway?" Somehow the aura of that lady and the boy changed into something threatening. Scary. Seeing the rapid development, my dependable big sister was as baffled as I did. "Eh...? Wait a minute, Rena. Why are you being belligerent --?" The boy standing behind the lady seemed to be even more unreliable...

真っ白だった視界と衝撃が無くなった時に自分が居たのは『始まりの街』の広場ではなく針葉樹の枝の上でした......まぁ、居たというより足が引っかかってるという方が正しいですけどね......直前に山田さんたちが防御してくれなかったら私も危なかったですねぇ〜、今の私は雪が積もる地面に向けてバンザイしている状態です。 「ハンネスさんは............ちゃんと殺せたようですね、よかったです」 雪が積もる地面に向けてバンザイしている手をこちらが考え事をしている間にコッソリ逃げ出そうとしたユウさんの首に回します。 「ま、まさか逃げ切れたと思ったレーナさんが飛んでくるなんて............」 「ふふ、それは残念でしたね? 」 首を軽く握り、喉仏に親指を添えて逃げられないようにしつつ耳元で囁きます。 イベント最終日の今日、断続的に襲ってくるプレイヤーの方を来たそばから殺していきますがその数も多くて間隔が短く、キリがありません。 「今ならジェノサイダーも本気出せないって本当なんだろうな?! 」 「知るかよ! でも信じるしかねぇだろ?! 」 背後から突き込まれてくる槍を横にズレて躱しながら掴み取りそのまま前方の敵目がけて引っ張り首を貫く。驚き体勢を崩した槍使いの鼻を槍を掴んでいた方の腕で肘打ちし顔をかち上げ、晒された首を切り裂き、殺す。 「いい加減死に晒せ、ジェノサイダー! 」 「ハンネスよく頑張ったよな? 」 「あれな、見てて凄かった」 「あのなんだっけ? 『ネット魔術』とかってなんだったん? 」 「知るかよ」 皆さん思い思いにイベントの感想などを言い合っているようですね。私はユウさんが見当たりませんので語り合う相手も居ないためで一人でイベントの余韻を噛み締めていますと上空に運営が現れましたね。 『やぁみんな! 運営だよ? 』 『主任、もっとしっかりしてください』 『いいじゃん! 堅苦しいよりも絶対いいじゃん! 』 主任さんはとても愉快な人らしいですね? まぁ、それよりもササッとランキングを確認しましょう。 差出人:KSO運営 件名:公式イベントの最終結果 本文:第一回公式イベントの個人ランキングとパーティーランキングを陣営と総合に分けて上位5位まで発表します。 序列1位:スメラギ《獲得ポイント5万4000》 序列2位:ルナ《獲得ポイント5万2000》 序列3位:褐色司祭《獲得ポイント4万8000》 序列4位:アーロン《獲得ポイント4万5000》 序列5位:ハンネス《獲得ポイント4万2000》 序列1位:レーナ《獲得ポイント31万8000》 序列2位:†漆黒の堕天使†《獲得ポイント5万2500》 序列3位:えーたん《獲得ポイント5万2000》 序列4位:ヒンヌー教祖《獲得ポイント4万9000》 序列5位:バウバウ《獲得ポイント4万2000》 序列2位:蘭花《獲得ポイント4万9800》 序列3位:ミラ《獲得ポイント4万5000》 序列4位:ハロルド《獲得ポイント4万2000》 序列5位:スク水ニーソ大盟主《獲得ポイント4万1500》 序列2位:レーナ《獲得ポイント31万8000》 序列3位:スメラギ《獲得ポイント5万4000》 序列4位:†漆黒の堕天使†《獲得ポイント5万2500》 序列5位:ルナ《獲得ポイント5万2000》 同率5位:えーたん《獲得ポイント5万2000》 パーティーランキング 《リーダー・アーロン:獲得ポイント26万8000》 序列4位:皇国神聖騎士団 最終的な陣営順位は以下になります。 以上となります、それぞれのランキング上位者と順位に見合った報酬を各陣営全体に配ります。また、自身が獲得したポイントで豪華景品と交換できますがポイントの有効期限は明日から一週間までとなりますのでご注意ください。 『いやぁ〜、個人でヤバいのが二名ほどいるね? 見てて爆笑してたよ! 』 『......そうですね、主任と同じ意見なのは遺憾ですが』 『それよりもせっかくの隠れ鬼ごっこなのにその二名ほど全然隠れたり逃げたりしないので現場の方が脱力してましたよ』 ........................そういえば隠れるよりむしろ目立ってましたね? まぁ、その方がポイントが稼げそうでしたから仕方ありませんが。 『ていうか秩序は一番人数多いんだからもう少し頑張ってよね! ぷんぷん! 』 『それよりも主任、そろそろ締めてください』 『話逸らしたね? まぁいいや、ポイント忘れずに使ってね〜? それじゃあまた会おう! サラダバー!! 』 『............本当に申し訳ございません、この生ゴミは処分しておきます』

... Seems like I have been blown pretty far away. Once my view cleared out, I found out that I wasn't in the Beginner's City, but instead stuck on the branches of a tree. I would have been in danger if Yamada and everyone else hadn't protected me just before our attacks collided. After dropping down to the ground, I started saying, "I'm glad I could kill Hannes in a way that gave our fight a proper conclusion..." After checking the UI just to be sure, Hannes' name was listed as one of the people I killed, as well as the points I earned for defeating him, "I'm satisfied from this." That said... "Where are you going, Yuu?" I said while plunging my hand into the snowy ground and lifting him up by the neck. "T-this can't be happening... I was sure I had escaped you, but then you suddenly came flying out of nowhere..." He said dejectedly. "Such a pity, isn't it?" I said while giggling. I kept a tight grip on his neck to stop him from escaping, and then whispered to him, "Hey, Yuu..." He blushed furiously and made an incomprehensible sound at that, "I didn't know you were so good at 'playing'." Wow, they really don't stop coming... It's the last day of the event now, and I kept on killing the players that came after me time and time again. Their numbers are large, the time interval between attacks is short and there really is no end to them. "Can we really take on the Genocider?" One of them asked their comrades. "I don't know, but we have to try!" Another said. I grabbed a spear that was coming from behind me and used it to pierce the neck of an enemy that was approaching from the front. The spearman was surprised by this and lost his balance, so I used the opportunity to kick his neck and kill him. "Slacking off means death near the Genocider, stays sharp, everyone!" A leader-like person said. "Hannes really did an amazing job, didn't he?" Bystander B said. "It was a really amazing fight." Bystander C said. "What was that <Net Magic> anyways?" Bystander D said. "I wonder if anybody knows that..." Bystander E said. Seems like everyone is discussing their impressions of the event. I can't find Yuu amongst the crowd though, so I didn't have anyone to talk to. I ended up just loitering around by myself until the announcement resumed. "Hey, everyone! It's the management team!" That bald guy from the event's start said from the screen. "Boss, please be more serious." One of his coworkers said. "It's better like this than to be too stiff! Anyways, we will now announce the rankings!" The bald said. He seems to be quite the relaxed person. More importantly though, let's check the rankings. From: KSO management Subject: Final results of the first official event Details: The individual rankings and party rankings will be analyzed both per karmic camp and in comparison to all other players. We'll only announce the top 5 of each category, but you can still check your own rankings in your status screen. #1: Sumeragi <54000 Points> #2: Luna <52000 Points> #3: Dark Priest <48000 Points> #4: Aaron <45000 Points> #5: Hannes <42000 Points> #1: Rena <318,000 Points> #2: Jet-Black Fallen Angel <52500 Points> #3: Eetan <52000 Points> #4: Hymn's Guru <49000 Points> #5: Bau Bau <42000 Points> #2: Blooming Flower <49800 Points> #3: Myra <45000 Points> #4: Harold <42000 Points> #5: Leader of the Swimsuit-Stockings Alliance <41500 Points> #2: Rena <318000 Points> #3: Sumeragi <54000 Points> #4: Jet-Black Fallen Angel <52500 Points> #5: Luna <52000 Points> #5: Eetan <52000 Points> Party Rankings: #3: Nature's Light - Leader: Aaron <268,000 Points> #4: Holy Imperial Knights - Leader: Sumeragi <257,000 Points> The final rankings of each karmic camp are as follows: That will be all. We'll distribute rewards everyone according to points earned, and extra rewards to the top rankers. You may also use your points to redeem special rewards, though do note that the points will expire one week from now. "With this out of the way, there were two pretty crazy players out there, right? I was laughing out loud while watching the event." The bald man said. "Regretfully, I have to admit I share the boss' opinion." His secretary commented. "To think that neither of them hid nor run at all in the middle of the Hidden Tag game, it certainly made the premise a lot less interesting..." The secretary complemented while ignoring her boss. I really didn't hide, but that was only because I'd get more points like this. It couldn't be helped. "Ah, and the Order faction has the highest number of players, for the record. Please try harder next event, you all!" The bald said, and then was punched in the stomach by his secretary "I'll really get hurt if you keep this up..." "Rather than that, please wrap this up already." She said. "That? Alright, don't forget to use your points. See you later, everyone!" He said. "... My deepest apologies to all viewers, rest assured that I'll soon dispose of this garbage." The secretary said.

「そこら辺に適当に腰掛けてくれ」 そう親父が言うと、あの女は素直に従い座る。後ろにいた小僧は戸惑いながらもそれに倣う。小さな姉妹たちは別の部屋で休んでもらっている。 「それで、話とは? 」 ..................この女は本当に動じないな。普通知らない男に簡単には逃げられそうもないところに連れてこられたら、辺りを警戒するぐらいあってもいいのだがな? むしろ我らの総司令である親父が、街の協力者でも解放してきた奴隷でもないこいつらを連れて歩いてるのを見て、仲間たちが遠巻きに見てたぐらいだ、情けない............。 「うむ、薄々わかっておるとは思うが我らは反体制組織でな。奴隷たちの解放を目的としておる」 「それで私たちに協力してほしいと? 」 なぜこの女に協力を求めるのか、親父だって分かってるはずだ..............................この女が混沌に属する者だということを。 「そうじゃ、反体制だの解放だの大仰なことを言っておるが、その実態は街に少ない協力者をつくり、ちまちまと逃亡奴隷や主人に反抗した奴隷を助ける程度。それも良くて1ヶ月に二、三人じゃ」 悔しいことに親父の言ってることは事実だ、俺の力が足りないばかりに未だ皆に我慢を強いている。 「今まで助けて我らの仲間になってくれた元奴隷たちもそれなりに戦力になるが、領主のもとには腕利きの用心棒が四人居てのう。一人二人なら馬鹿息子でも相手できるのだが、これが三人四人となると話にならん。こやつらを倒さねば領主も負けを認めんじゃろ」 そうだ、憎いことにあの裏切り者共は完全に領主の犬になった......真なる海神クレブスクルム様への信仰なども既に無かろう。できることならこの手で殺してやりたい............!! 「じゃが、そこにお前さんが加わると話が違ってくる。後ろから少し見させてもらったが、息子が迂闊に手を出せない相手など、その四人が相手でも無い。察するに相当な実力者じゃろう」 「......女の近くに姉妹が居たから人質に取られると思っただけだ」 「よう言うわい」 ............ぐぐっ、確かに手を出せなかったの事実だが、戦えば絶対に負けん!! 「それでどうじゃ? お主が息子に加わってくれると、泥沼の内戦にならず可及的速やかに領主のいる本丸を落とせよう。陽動なら我ら元奴隷たちが請け負う」 「ふむ......」 そう言って女は考え込む。本当に底が知れん、いったい何を企んでいやがる......? 「無理にとは言わんがな、報酬も勿論用意する。どうか我らを助けてはくれんか? 」 そう言って親父は頭を下げる............やりたくない、やりたくないが......親父が頭を下げてるんだ俺も下げよう。 彼らから話を聞き、頭を下げられてお願いされます。 クエストNo.番外 ワールドクエスト:クレブスクルム解放戦線 依頼者:ロン老師・ロノウェ 依頼内容:クレブスクルム戦闘員が街の各地で混乱を起こしている間にロノウェと一緒に領主館へ強襲、領主の凄腕の用心棒を撃破し体制を崩せ。 報酬:5レベル分のスキル含む経験値・100万G・真なる海神クレブスクルムの加護 注意:ワールドクエストはゲーム内のシナリオや今後に深く関わるクエストです。その成否に関わらず受け直すことも何度も受けることもできません。 受注しますか? Yes / No おや? 何気に初クエストですね、チュートリアルおじさんはクエスト受ける前に殺してしまいましたからね。しかもワールドクエスト......Noも番外になってますね。 なるほど、クエストの成否に関わらず結果は固定されてしまうんですね。ですが、元々そんなものなくても自主的に起こしていたものです。真なる海神クレブスクルムの加護というのも気になりますしYesで。 「わかりました、協力しましょう」 そう彼らに告げます。 「おお、そうか! それは助かる! 」 相変わらずロノウェさんはこちらへの警戒を解かず無愛想ですね、一応お礼は言ってくれましたが......本当に私なにかしましたかね? そんなに殺気ぶつけられたのが嫌でした? 「それでは今日はもう遅いですし、部屋を準備させてますのでゆっくりしてくだされ」 「それではお言葉に甘えさせてもらいますね」 そう言って席を立ち部屋を出ていきます。 「............全然話についていけなかった」 落ち込むユウさんを伴って準備された部屋に入った後は、今日はもうログアウトですね。

"Please sit around here." My old man offered them seats, and that woman complied. The guy standing behind her looked a bit confused, but he followed suit. The little sisters were resting in another room. "So, what would you like to talk about?" ... Honestly, this woman isn't agitated at all. Normally, wouldn't a woman be wary if some strangers brought her to a secluded place where it would be difficult to escape? Rather, I felt a little worried, seeing my old man, who was our general commander, walking with these people, who were neither the allies of the city nor liberated slaves. We could only see him from the sidelines. How pitiful... "Well, you've probably have guessed, we're a dissident organization. Our purpose is to liberate the slaves." "And you would like our cooperation?" I have no idea why my old man asked for this woman's cooperation... He should have known that getting her involved would only bring chaos. "That's right. Well, it's an exaggeration for us to be called rebels or liberators. In reality, we only have very few allies in the city and help the slaves who rebelled against their masters and escaped. This happens twice or three times a month." What my old man said is regrettably true. Because of my lack of power to save them, everyone still had to persevere in hardships. "Former slaves have become a fighting force and aided us in their own way, but there are four skillful bodyguards hired by the lord. If there were only one or two bodyguards, my stupid son would be able to deal with them. But more than that would be impossible. If we don't defeat them, the lord won't acknowledge us." Indeed. Those hateful traitors had become the lord' dogs completely... They no longer had faith in the true Sea God Krebskulm. If possible, I want to kill them with these hands...!! "However, if you agreed to lend us a hand, we would have the upper hand. I was observing from behind earlier. My son wouldn't have been able to take you on as his opponent, just like those four bodyguards. You are a skillful fighter after all." "... I just thought those sisters were taken hostage because there was a woman standing near them." "Don't make me laugh." ... Argh! My old man was right. Even if I fought her, my defeat would be certain!! "So what say you? If you agreed to join hands with my son, we could focus on attacking the lord and end this slavery once and for all, without dragging this whole thing into a civil war. If you need a diversion, we, the former slaves will undertake it." "Hmm ...." The woman was giving a deep consideration. I could not read her at all. What in the world could she be scheming...? "Of course, we will prepare rewards. Would you please help us somehow?" My old man bowed his head in request... Even though it pained me to do so, I followed suit. They bowed their heads pleading for my help. Quest No. Extra World Quest: Krebskulm Liberation Front Client: Sage Ron, Ronove Mission Details: While the Krebskulm fighters are causing confusion throughout the city, Ronove and we will assault the lord's mansion, take out the bodyguards, and overthrow the regime. Rewards: 5 levels worth of experience points, one million G, blessing of the true Sea God Krebskulm. Warning: World quests are quests that will influence in-game scenarios and future quests. Regardless of its success or failure, it may not be repeated. Accept quest? Yes / No Oh? This would be our first quest because the tutorial guy was killed before we could accept any quests. Moreover, it was a World Quest... The number was extra as well. I see the outcome is fixed regardless of the success or failure of the quest. However, even if there was no such quest to begin with, it would happen voluntarily. I'm also curious about the blessing of the true Sea God Krebskulm. So let's select "Yes". "Understood. We shall cooperate." I informed them so. "Oh, that's great! We're saved!" As usual, Ronove was unfriendly and very cautious toward us. They thanked us for the time being... but really, did I do something to offend him? Could it be because of the killing intent I displayed earlier? "Well then, it's already late today. We will prepare a room so please have a rest." "Right then, we'll be in your care." After our conversation was over, we all left the room. "... I couldn't keep up with what they were saying at all." Yuu was feeling down. After entering the room they had prepared for us, it was time for him to log out today.

「──あなた達が華子の知り合いね?」 「......どちら様ですか?」 「そう......私はブロッサムよ、それよりもさっさとこの街を出るわよ」 自己紹介もそこそこに、スタスタと先を行く彼女を慌ててマサと一緒に追い掛ける......でも私たち始めたばかりなのにもう『始まりの街』から出て行くの? 普通チュートリアルクエストとか無いの? 「大方予想がつくから先に答えておくわね......チュートリアルNPCは殺されたから居ないわ」 いや、まさか......『始まりの街』が一人のプレイヤーの手に落ちたとは聞いていたけれどチュートリアルNPCまで殺されているとは思わなかったわ......。 「それとステータスを出して見なさい」 マサと二人でポチポチとディスプレイを弄り回して設定を本と巻物にする......ステータスを出す時もブロッサムさんの『ブック』みたく自由に変えられるようだからそれも変更する。 「それと二人のメイン武器とか魔術の属性は?」 なんで華子ちゃん本人でもないのにこの女性が張り切っているのかは分からないけれど、お義姉様と仲良くなるためだもん、頑張らないと......マサはもう順応してるし。 「最初は適当なプレイヤーでもNPCでも不意打ちして殺すわよ」 「ある程度まではそれで良いけれど、レベルが三十五を超えた辺りからは普通にモンスターを狩った方が効率が良いわ」

"You're Kako's friends, right?" A woman in pure black clothing that was holding a really imposing scythe suddenly called out to us. "And you are...?" Seigi... I mean, Masa asked her. He seemed to be quite weary for some reason. "And I'm Blossom... Well, for now, let's leave this city." Wait, we're leaving the city!? And she's not even waiting for us!? We had to run after her in order to not be left behind... What kind of help is that!? "Since you're probably wondering, I suppose I should say it now, but there are no tutorials in the game because the tutorial NPC was killed." Blossom explained as we moved. "And since there is nothing meaningful to be done here, it's better for us to leave right away." She continued... I did hear that the city was taken over by a player, but I didn't expect the tutorial NPC to have been killed... Goodness, "Anyways, try calling out <Status> for now." "<Status>" We both said as she instructed, and a translucent scream appeared in front of us, showing our equipment, basic stats and some other stuff. Me and Seigi played with the settings for a bit. I ended up getting something that looked about the same as Blossom's book, while Masa made it look more like a scroll. Once she noticed we were done, she asked us, "Alright, now tell me your base weapons and magical elements." "Seems fun." Masa seemed to have already gotten used to her... Also, even though she's not Kako, she seems to be about as enthusiastic about this as Kako was when she said she'd call her acquaintance. How mysterious. She then said something a bit unbelievable, "So, for now, let's search for some players or NPCs to kill. It shouldn't be too hard if you sneak up on them." "It's the most efficient way to quickly get levels in the early game. At around level 35 it becomes more efficient to hunt monsters, so we'll switch to that later, but for now it's better to go for humans." She explained... What a weird game, to encourage players to kill one another from the start... "Also, don't get close to the players that are known as 'Perverted Gentleman' and 'Genocider'."

Chapter 63 - Official Bulletin Board 5 [Event] Event thread 47 [Fourth day] This is a thread to discuss the event. Let's write freely. However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. The number of people here is gradually increasing... The event is back. Pretty much this. Also, even though the Genocider has more kills, he'll probably win the event because he is in the Neutral Faction. Most of the people here are victims of those two... Just what are they anyways? Some sort of human weapons? A famous streamer was caught by the Genocider... She isn't aware of the chaos that will be brought by this...(-Ren -) She's dragging her by the hair! Lol. Isn't the hair a woman's life? Naturally shaved, lol. She did it so naturally that I didn't understand what had happened for a second. You arrived way too late, lol! Her one eyebrow is already...! Such a sad incident... Meiru also gave a "Huh?" reaction now... It's terrifying that she can kill one of their leaders so quietly in the dark like that. And the cave blows up. Different people have different standards of terrible... Scary. I think there is an insurmountable wall between Genocider and us. It's okay because she didn't harm the person, only her avatar. Genocider's event action log as of now: On the first day, she annihilated two high level parties in only a few seconds. Also burnt tons of players together with a whole forest. On the second day, she sniped lots of players that were trying to run from her from who knows how far away. On the third day,she defeated the top two players of the Chaos and Order factions, both of which have access to Oath skills. On the fourthday, she grabbed the hair a popular female streamer, dragged her to a cave in front of the camera, shaved one of her eyebrows, cut her hair, and then blew up the cave to bury her up together with many of her fans. And there's still half of the event left... She really doesn't care for other girls' reputation now, does she? And because she was a streamer, this will now be known by people that don't even play the game. It's definitely reaching beyond just KSO. ****** [Event] Event thread 61 [Fifth day] Isn't Absolutely Inviolable Area too dangerous? It's flying over the sea. He is cutting the sea in half to chase the fleeing mage... Is he Moses? Lol. Does anybody know anything about this guy? It's definitely strange that he is able to keep a Karma of exactly 0. I've been in a party with him before, but I gave up on it and removed him from my friend list. Oh? Why? Was it due to level disparity? Or is there a problem with his personality? Nothing wrong with his personality, he just kindly guided an NPC that asked for directions... But then his Karma was raised by 1, so he started slapping the NPC over and over again until it dropped back to 0. He smiled after that. He's a total psycho, lol! He is strong and usually pretty reliable, but the party just didn't work out. There was one time that his karma went up because he protected me from an attack, so he immediately stabbed me in the back to reset the karma to 0. He is pretty nice and easy to talk to on normal situations though. No wonder you deleted him from your friend's list, lol! Why are all strong players either Genociders, perverts or psychopaths? I also partied with Absolutely Inviolable Area once. After we searched for the parents of a lost child NPC, he slapped the parents until his karma went back to 0. I guess common sense doesn't apply to him, lol! I guess you need to be crazy to reach the high ranks, lol. Pretty sure this guy was the first person to get the swearing skill. I guess he is also the first person to get the Advanced Class? Really? What are the conditions to obtain an advanced class? I don't know. Well, considering it's Genocider, she probably got the advanced class already. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if she did. Genocider's... Friend? You're wounding my heart... Genorers, calm down! Lol! "We're friends from real life, you don't need to feel sorry for me", lol! He was only hurt by Genocider, lol. He is being attacked for saying too much, lol. Lol, is this an attempted suicide?! Otaku... Magic? The feeling of Otaku Magic is gross. Why is there a Dumbass Magic about a Convenience Store!? LMAO! The Boss definitely put this in as a joke, lol. He is walling off the world to protect himself, lol. It's a pretty thick wall... He ran away from the Genocider! Lol! Hannes must be convulsing on his grave after seeing someone escape with this kind of magic. He's not dead yet, lol. Does anybody know anything about the skills of this Yuu guy? I didn't know this kind of skill existed. Well, I don't think I'll look for those when acquiring new skills, lol! He is quite famous within the verification team as "Yuu of the Variety Show." He got all the weird skills of the skill tree, but there are normal ones there too. That just makes it even more amazing that he escaped the Genocider with those! Lol! Aren't the Genorers oddly quiet? Try peeking at the dedicated Genocider threads? Genocider's smile is scary, lol. I looked at it and it seems like they're about to explode. I guess this Yuu fellow was now marked by the Genorers. I'm not jealous or anything, but I pray he has a nice rest in the afterlife. Seems like he attracted bad luck even after escaping with this much effort, lol.

「ね〜んねん、ころ〜り〜よ」 四肢と両目を失ってなお息がある聖騎士長さんの襟首を掴み、そのまま引きずりながら歩きます。 彼女が途中で『お父さん! お母さん! 助けて!』なんて叫ぶものですから、母の事を思い出してしまいました。 そのせいなのか、幼い頃に母から唄って貰っていた子守唄をいつの間にか口ずさんでしまっているではありませんか。 意識して歌っているものでもなく、ただ何となく口を動かしているだけの歌っているとも言えないクオリティのものでしかありませんが、通路内に反響する事でまぁまぁよく聴こえているのが少し微妙な感じですね。 母はいつも独特で変なアクセントを付けて唄っていましたから、その癖が私にまで移ってしまってこの歌だけは正規のメロディで歌えないのですが......それが良く聴こえるというのが変な感じです。 まぁだからと言って何かが悪い訳ではないのですが、自分の歌から母を感じ取れないのが少し寂しくありますね。 母がよく目の前で唄ってくれていたこの歌だけは、私が少し下手に歌えて、母がすぐ側で唄ってくれている様な気持ちにさせてくれていましたから。 そろそろ聖騎士長さんが失血で死にそうですね......まぁもがれた四肢もくり抜いた目玉もそのままに、大した治療もしていないので当然ではありますか。 いつまでも両親の名をぶつぶつと呟くこの肉塊にも飽きてきたところですし、ちょうど目の前に現れた扉の先で太郎さんの餌にしてあげますかね。 そうと決まればさっさと開けてしまいましょう。 「......いい唄だな」 「おや、こんな所に居たのですか」 少しばかり驚きですね、開けた扉の先にはロン老師が待ち構えていたではありませんか。 あんまりダンジョン内を探索した気がしませんが、おそらくある程度は内部の構造を弄れるのでしょうし、彼がわざと私だけをここに来るように道順を変えたと見るべきですね。 聖騎士長さんを投げ捨て、その血肉に群がる花子さんと武雄さんの眷属達を視界から外してロン老師を見据えます。 「居た、というよりは招いたが正しいのう......思いの外上手く邪魔な二人を排除できたのでな」 「邪魔な二人......あぁ、マリアさんとブロッサムさんの事ですか」 「然り。ワシの目的はあくまでもお主ただ一人よ......それに、お主にこれ以上人の命をおもちゃにして欲しくないのでな」 まるで痛ましい物でも見るかの様な表情で聖騎士長さんの遺体を見詰めながらロン老師が語っていますね。 それに釈然としないものを覚え、首を傾げながらも彼の言葉の続きを待ちます。 面倒だとは思いますが、どうやら人は戦う時に内心の憂いを取り除かねば全力を出せないみたいですから。 「どうせこれが最後になるのですから、気になる事があるならどうぞ」 何かを躊躇しているらしいロン老師にそう水を向けてやれば、数秒の逡巡の後に彼は顔を上げて真っ直ぐに私を見詰めて口を開きます。 「最期にお主に問う──なぜ尊い命を弄ぶのか」 そう問われても私は首を傾げるしかありません。 自身と同じ人の命だろうが、蟻だろうが私にとっては何も変わらないからです。 では何も変わらないのに、なぜ人を積極的に狙うのか、それは自分でも人の命を特別視している証拠ではないのかと以前にも指摘された事もありましたが、それもまた違います。 私はただ目の前の物で遊びたいだけなのです。 何気なく机を指で叩く、蟻の巣に水を注ぐ、何となく服のボタンを弄る、......まるで小石を蹴りながら下校する小学生の様に私はただ遊びたいだけなんですよ、そこに深い意味はありません。 あぁ、そうですね......私はただ小石を蹴りながら下校がしたいだけなのです。 自らが蹴っていた小石を途中で友達に奪われると嫌な気持ちになるでしょう? 私は社会が、倫理観や常識と言ったもので自らの小石を奪われるのが酷く悲しいのです。 現実世界でも、犬や猫などの小動物の命を弄んでもそう注目されません。路地裏などに捨て置けば勝手に処理されますから。 ですが人の命はそうは行きません......犬猫と違って人の死体はよく目立ち、一度誰かに見付かってしまえば絶対に当局からの捜査が入ってしまうからです。 そうです、人の命を積極的に狙っている訳でもありません......ただ 「──ただ、それだけです」 ご満足して頂けましたか、と、そうロン老師に問えば彼の瞳から甘さや躊躇いの一切が消えたのが分かります。 どうやら私の答えは彼から躊躇い等を消すくらいには満足させられるものであったようで、何よりですね。 「......もう、よい......お前さんの性根は充分に理解した......その様な考えでロノウェの命を奪った事も......」 「? ......あぁ、ロノウェさんですね、確かに彼との『遊び』はとても楽しめましたね」 何故でしょうか、ロン老師が愕然とした表情で私を見ています......そんな顔で見られる様な憶えは全くないのですが。 他人と会話をするといつもこうです......勝手に相手が理由の説明もなく憤ったり、泣いたりと、突然感情を荒立てるのです。 せめて何かあったのか、私に原因があるのなら何処が悪かったのかくらいは教えて貰いたいものなのですが。 ......ですが、それを尋ねるとさらに相手を怒らせてしまうのですよね。 「そうか、そう、か......お前さんはもう本当に......ワシでは救えはしないんじゃな......」 「救う、ですか? ......特に今は困っていませんよ?」 海底ダンジョンの場所が分からなかった時は確かに少し困っていたかも知れませんが、マリアさんの爆発で呼び出して案内して貰ったのでもう解決していますしね。 あと私が困っている事と言えば......何故ロン老師が感情を荒立てているのかが分からないという事くらいでしょうか? まぁ、それを聞いても教えてはくれないのでしょうね。 「いや、もう多くは語るまい──今ここでお前を殺してやる事こそワシが唯一してやれる事じゃ!」 左拳を前に突き出し、右腕を折り畳んで腰辺りに付けるという空手っぽい構えをとったロン老師から強烈な殺気を飛ばされます。 いいですよ、そうこなくてはなりません......よく分かりませんが、躊躇なく私と『遊んで』くれるのであればコチラからは文句はありません。 クエストNo.番外 ワールドクエスト:老司祭の反逆・√甲 依頼者:ロン老師 依頼内容:条件を揃え、秩序を守護する戦士の一人としてなんの憂いもなく戦える様になったロン老師とその仲間達を撃破せよ。 →一切の甘さと躊躇いを捨てた全力のロン老師を撃破せよ。 七色の貴神の眷属が一柱、海神クレブスクルムを信仰する最高司祭が聖地で権能の一部を振るう為、敗北するとアカウントデータが消去され、文字通りこの世界で死にます。 報酬:10レベル分のスキル含む経験値・5000万G・??? 注意:ワールドクエストはゲーム内のシナリオや今後に深く関わるクエストです。その成否に関わらず受け直す事も何度も受ける事も出来ません。 受注しますか?

"Hush, little baby, don't say a word~" I grabbed the Chief of the Holy Knights by the collar, who was still breathing even after losing her four limbs and both eyes, and dragged him along as I walked. She was screaming things like "Mom! Dad! Help me!", which for some reason reminded me of my own mother. Perhaps because of that, I found myself humming the lullabies that my mother used to sing to me when I was little. It could hardly be said that I was fully aware that I was singing. In fact, I was merely moving my mouth, and although my voice came out very subtly, it felt as if it could still be heard because it echoed in the aisle. My mother always sang this lullaby with a unique and strange accent, a habit I ended up picking up myself, so I can't sing this song with its usual melody. ...But this strangeness felt good. There's nothing wrong with the way she used to sing. Still, I normally can't feel my mother through my own singing, which makes me feel a bit sad. But only through this lullaby she used to sing to me, I could feel safe to sing it even a bit badly, and still I would feel like my mother was singing right next to me. The Chief of the Holy Knights seemed to be about to die from blood loss... Which was only natural since neither her torn limbs nor her hollowed-out eyeballs had been treated at all. But I was starting to get tired of this lump of meat's incessant cries for mom and dad, so I figured I'd go feed Tarou right in front of this door that had just appeared before my eyes. Having decided that, I opened the door. "...That's a nice song." "Oh? I didn't know you'd be in a place like this" To my surprise, it was Old Man Ron who was waiting at the other end of the open door. It didn't look like he had explored much of this dungeon, so he must have tampered with the internal structure of this place to some extent, deliberately making it so that only I can see he had done that in order to get here. I threw away the remains of the Chief of the Holy Knights and wiped out the blood from Hanako and Takeo's faces before fixing my gaze on Old Man Ron. "It would be more correct to say that I was called here... I see you were able to get rid of those two people who had gotten in your way quite splendidly, I must say." "Two people who have gotten in my way... Oh, are you talking about Maria and Blossom?" "Correct. You are my ultimate goal... I don't want you to continue to use human life as a plaything anymore." Old Man Ron spoke while staring at the corpse of the Holy Knight Chief with an expression as if he were looking at something painful. He then tilted his head to the side, seemingly displeased, before continuing his speech. I think that, while it can be troublesome, it seems that people can't put out their best unless they get rid of their inner worries when fighting. "This will be the last time anyway, so if you have any concerns, go ahead." As I offered him a proverbial glass of water before sending him to the gallows, Old Man Ron stared straight at me after a few seconds of hesitation before opening his mouth once again. "I only want to know one thing. Why are you toying with precious human lives?" I could only tilt my head to the side in response to that question. It doesn't matter if it's the life of someone like me, or that of an ant... It doesn't change anything for me. I've been asked before things like "Then why do you actively target people even though there's no difference? Why not just kill ants?", as if to try to point out that this proves that I do actually regard human life as something special, but that is also not the case. The truth is, I just want to play with what's in front of me. I would casually tap on top of a desk with my fingers, pour water into an ant's nest, fiddle with the buttons on my clothes... There's no deep meaning to it. Just like an elementary school student who kicks pebbles on the way home from school, I simply want to have fun. Ah, that's it. All I want is to kick pebbles on my way home from school. But it feels really sad when supposed friends end up trying to take away the pebbles you've kicked. I am terribly saddened by the fact that society is robbed of its own pebbles by ethics and common sense. Even in the real world, playing with the lives of small animals such as dogs and cats does not attract much attention. If you throw them away in a back alley, they will be disposed of basically on their own. But it's not the same for human lives don't go that way... Unlike dogs and cats, human corpses stand out, and once they're found by someone, they'll definitely be investigated by the authorities. That's right, it's not like I'm actively aiming for people's lives... It's just that they're rare, so I'm just actively playing the game. "...That's all there is to it." After asking Old Man Ron if he was satisfied with my answer, I could see that the softness had disappeared from his eyes, as well as his hesitation. It seemed that my answer had been good enough to at least remove his hesitation, so I was thankful for that. "...That's enough... I fully understand your nature... That's the kind of mindset you had when you took Ronowe's life as well..." "...? ...Ah, Ronowe, yes, I remember having a lot of fun 'playing' with him." For some reason, Old Man Ron was looking at me with an astonished look on his face... I don't remember ever seeing him with that kind of expression. It was always like this whenever I had a conversation with another person. The other person would suddenly get angry or start to cry without an explanation as to why. At the very least, I would like to know what's wrong with them, and if I was the cause of whatever's making them suffer. ...But whenever I ask them that, they get even angrier. "I see, I see... You really are... beyond saving... Even for someone like me..." "You want to save me? ...But I don't think I am in any kind of trouble." I remember being in a bit of a pickle back when I didn't know the location of the undersea dungeon, but Maria's explosion summoned me and guided me, so I've already solved that problem.. Besides, the only thing that bothers me is that I don't understand why Old Man Ron is getting so upset. Well, even if I were to ask him, I don't think he'll tell me. "No, enough talking. Killing you here and now is the only thing I can do now!" Old Man Ron took a karate-like stance with his left fist forward and his right arm folded right next to his waist. There was an intense bloodlust in his eyes. So it had to come to this. It was fine by me, honestly. I didn't really understand what that was all about, but so long as he didn't hesitate to "play" with me, I wouldn't have any complaints.

Chapter 196: Official Bulletin Board - seventeen [It's Going Fast] Second Event Thread 23 [Hell On Earth] This is a general chat thread. Let's write freely. However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. Aren't countries getting destroyed way too fast...? I mean, when we consider that the Genocider took over the Beginners' City near the start of the game, I guess it can't be helped that the top players can quickly take out countries now. [Breaking News] Hermagne's capital was just invaded by an aerial group of assailants! Huh!? What the!? This is crazy! Bluer than indigo... ((See Translator's Note at the end)) High up in the skies... Pure white roses... Achoo! In a beautiful floral pattern... Don't sneeze in the middle of it! Lol! Should we sing an old song or sneeze, such a hard decision! Lololol! Hermagne's capital became a mess while you all were singing... And to think we first thought that war in KSO would involve cavalry battles... We're now seeing an aerial strike. Oh, and the attackers all seem to be assassins, by the way. Hermagne might be destroyed for good this time around... Fire is rising everywhere, it looks like Hell on Earth over here. They're really burning the capital down? Just what is this madness...? I guess she wanted to mess Hermagne up badly enough to the point it can't compete with the Empire anymore... Oh, don't worry, Absolutely Inviolable Area is making sure that the Empire is as devastated as Hermagne. Too horrifying! Lol! Small countries are crushed like ants, big countries are used as punching bags... Goodness. What a mess... Though I worry about the nightmare that will follow once the countries owned by Absolutely Inviolable Area and by the Genocide end up becoming major powers... Yeah, our best hopes would be to get help from Hermagne or from the Empire, but they're currently being used as punching bags, so... If only we had one of them to rely on! Why did they have to invade at the same time!? [Way Too Quick] Second Event Thread 31 [Too Many Destroyed Countries] The top players are fighting over Maria in the Beginners' City now... Hymn's Guru VS Yuu! The almost-naked guy fighting a girl who already has to deal with one stupid pervert... That's just sad. Reported! I have no idea what Yuu and Hymn's Guru are doing anymore. Feels like a battle straight out of a buggy demo. Well, you can kinda understand it if you already know some of Yuu's skills, but... Yeah, it's a weird fight alright. Looks more like a circus presentation than an actual battle. It presents itself as a battle, when it's actually a circus show for the spectators! It's definitely a circus! Lol! Hymn's Guru passes through the ring of fire! The Perverted Gentleman attacks Ranka! Hymn's Guru approaches while dancing through the mud! Ranka repels the Perverted Gentleman by chanting her Sutras! Yuu eats some red mushrooms and becomes huge! Hymn's Guru jumps on top of his head to make him smaller! The Perverted Gentleman shines brighter as he poses! Ranka's voice goes lower and lower as her disbelief goes higher! What will actually happen next!? You've done a good job. You may rest now. I've been laughing so hard that I got a stomachache! Lololol! It's nice to see a good tag team battle with the top players again. Kinda like the Hannes VS Genocider fight in the first event. I'm still laughing! Lol! Only the top players are not participating in the wars anymore! Lol! Well, it's still exciting. > 154 It's a different kind of excitement though. Yeah, I mean... I thought I'd be amazed by an epic battle, not by Yuu's circus show. They're great entertainers though! Lololol! I have no clue what Yuu is doing anymore! I can't guess the effect of his skills from their names... I remember what a few of them do, but I think he must have dozens of different skills, so it's hard to keep track. Not only that, but he is actually able to somehow use them effectively in combat... His capabilities are as praise-worthy as his weirdness. Or rather, if Yuu is a parasite, then what are we, who just make use of the information he shares with us? Don't involve us in this mess! Yeah! The ones talking in the forums while the event is still ongoing totally aren't complete losers! Eh? Losers? Well, that's not wrong, but still... Lol. I'm no loser, it's just that my country lost. A crushing defeat. Well, better to lose to monsters like the Genocider, than to lose like the poor Holy Imperial Knights. It was to NPCs actually... On a side note, I don't think I'd be able to defeat Alexei even at the current point. I feel like I wouldn't be able to keep up even though my level rose quite a bit since that time. Well, the NPCs also had their level raised, so you'd be outleveled regardless. Guess the Important NPCs won't ever become complete pushovers... How horrible! Such a mean management team!

Status: Normal Notes: Eldest Son of the Spelldia family Warrior Priest of Krebskulm Name: Romulus Spelldia - Lv 115 Class: Wizard of the Tempestuous Sea; Second Class: Warrior Priest; Third Class: Exorcist Twin Brother Two strong important NPCs are protecting this underground path... Now isn't this quite the find? I guess I won't have to send any complaints to the devs about the design of this dungeon then. "<Ex Enchantment: Physical Barrier>" I had attempted to cut woman's arm off next, by swinging the scythe at a part that wasn't protected by her gauntlet, but this guy's buff didn't let me deal much damage, even if I used offensive skills on my attack. It's certainly a bit hard to handle someone with strengthened physical powers and defense... Unless I become too fast for them to handle that is, "<Ex Enchantment: Accelerate>!" I exclaimed. "Hey, you, the younger brother over there." I called him. "... What is it?" He asked. "What!?" The older sister replied... Why is she, the one who is unrelated to the conversation, the one with the biggest reaction to my invitation? "Ain't I beautiful? Don't you want to come closer to take a look?" I asked him. She kept on trying to punch me with her fists, but I dodged her attacks with dance-like steps, and countered them with scythe attacks. "I'm inviting your brother, you know? Can't an unrelated woman like you stay quiet?" I told her. "Irrelevant! I won't stay silent while a Chaotic person sends winks to my younger brother during battle!" She exclaimed. I then attacked her neck with a rotating swing of my scythe. She dodged the initial blow, but without losing the momentum, I changed direction of my attack to aim at her neck from the other side. Her face was bright red at my taunt, which just made it feel even funnier. "So, younger brother, what's your reply?" I asked him. "Of course, I refuse! <Ex Enchantment: Storm Ocean>!" He exclaimed. Truly, to waste the opportunity when such a beautiful woman invites him. It is a shame. "Don't hold a grudge against him just because you weren't charming enough." The annoying older sister commented. I don't get what you're so scared of. You don't need to put a bunch of clothes on to hide yourself. It's fine to show some skin. I'm sure I chose a very good swimsuit. Black, not too flashy, not too plain, it truly complements my beauty. "You only try flirting with men by excessively exposing your skin and being overly flashy!" The older sister exclaimed. "Don't get me wrong. I'm not flirting. I'm just giving an opportunity to a man whose eyes are begging for me." I replied. It is not fair for a man to assume a woman is flirting with him just by exposing her skin. A woman who exposes her skin should not be violated... And she should not be blamed for the crimes of the perpetrator just ''because she is dressed like that', it is just insane to think those things. It's ridiculous to dress up like that girl. What's wrong with showing such beautiful skin? All that will happen is that we'll fascinate the men, and get jealousy from the women. Stop worrying about this kind of silly thing! "I dress up nicely, to further enhance my own assets, for I'm the most beautiful woman in the world!" I exclaimed, not to that older sister, but to the me who refuses to believe herself.

「あ、アナベラ......これはね? その、違うのよ?」 「......陛下から外出を控えるよう通達があったはずですが?」 ぐぬぬ、確かにそうだけれども兄は二人ともどこかに出かけられてるじゃない、私だけなんてズルいわ! 「そうおっしゃられても、侍女の私には判断ができませんので......」 「本当に頭が固いわね......」 「はぁ......仕方ないですね、私の監視と定期的に陛下に連絡するという条件付きですよ」 「やった! ありがとうアナベラ!」 ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ 「うわぁ......人がいっぱいね!」 夕食が入らなくなっちゃったらそれこそ侍女長に叱られてしまうわ、そんなヘマを私がするわけないじゃない。 「ありがとう! ......んん〜! この安っぽい味がたまらないわ!」 「おじさん、ありがとう! 機会があったらまた来るわ!」 「むむ、あっちから甘い匂いがするわ!」 「殿下......」 「アナベラだからいいのよ! ほら早く!」 「どうかしら?!」 「殿下、それを食べ終わりましたらそろそろ帰りますよ」 「えぇ! もう終わりなの?」 顔を見ようと上を見上げるとびっくりしてしまうくらい綺麗な顔があって思わず黙ってしまう......。 「レーナさんは大丈夫ですか?」 「私は大丈夫ですよ......そちらのお嬢さん、アイスクリームを台無しにしてしまい申し訳ございません」 「一条さん、このハンカチ使ってください」 よく見ると連れがいて二人ともすごく徳が高そうな人たちだ......秩序陣営のすごい人たちなのかな? 綺麗な女性は聖女みたいな可愛らしい人にハンカチで足を拭かれてる......ちょっと聖女みたいな人の鼻息が荒い気がするけど私の勘違いだろう。 「............良かったらアイスクリームを弁償しますので王都を案内してくれませんか?」 「でん......お嬢様!」 「いいじゃない! 連れの二人からすごく清浄な気配がするし悪い人たちではないわ......それにもう少し遊びたいし、ダメ?」 「ありがとう! アナベラ大好きよ!」

"Whoa!" I exclaimed and turned around, only to see my personal maid looking at me with a troubled expression, "Oh, Annabella, this is... Well... It's not what you're thinking!" She seemed exasperated, "You know that his majesty specifically said that you were not to leave the castle..." I know... But both of my brothers left to do something! Why am I the only one that has to remain locked inside!? "Please, just for a little bit! I'll be back soon after having a bit of fun outside!" "As your personal maid, I cannot allow that." She said. "Why are you so inflexible...?" I replied while pouting. She sighed, "I suppose it should be alright if I'm by your side, we don't stay out for long, and warn his majesty about it." "Alright! Thanks, Annabella!" I said while hugging her. Now let's head off! ****** "Wow... There are so many people here!" I exclaimed. I haven't been to town in a while, yet it's still filled with this many people. I'm happy that father's rule is wonderful enough to care for all those people... "Let's go over there!" I said while running. "I know, I know!" She's going to scold me if I eat so much to the point I can't have dinner, so I won't go that far. "Thank you!" I said and immediately took a bite, "This cheesy taste is just irresistible!" "Thank you again, Uncle! I'll come again if I have the chance!" I said while walking away. Wait a minute... "There's a sweet smell coming from that direction!?" I said while walking towards another stall. "Your highness..." Annabella seemed worried... "It's alright! You can eat it because it's you! Come on, come on!" I understood it. A maid shouldn't eat her master's food... But it's Annabella! It's obviously alright! "How is it? How is it?" I asked her. "You can take your time eating the rest, your highness, but we'll be going back as soon as you're finished." Anabella said just as I took another bite. "Eh!? Already!? Why!? What's happening, Annabella!?" Everyone at the castle is more nervous than usual, my brothers are super tense... Just why!? I was about to start complaining, but when I took a good look at her face, I saw how beautiful she was, and became unable to say anything. "Rena, you alright?" A guy behind her asked. "I'm alright." She said without even looking at him, and then she offered me a hand, "I'm sorry for ruining your ice cream, Miss." "Miss Ichijouji, please excuse me." A woman that seemed to be accompanying the one I bumped into said. They both seemed to be very amazing and virtuous people, they must be on the Order faction... A beautiful woman is having her legs wiped by a napkin held by a saintess... The saintess seems to have something coming out of her nose, but I must be just seeing things. "... If that's alright, I can reimburse you for the lost ice cream, so you could please show me around the capital?" The beautiful woman said. "Yo... Young lady!" Annabella shouted. "It's alright! They seem to be good people, don't they? And I want to play a little more... Please? Pretty please...?" I asked Annabella. I hugged her, "Thank you! I love you, Annabella!"

「レーナさんレーナさん、それよりもこっちにしましょう? ね?」 私が今着用しているのはピッチリと全身を覆うタイプの、ダイビングに適した水着の筈です。 「あのね? ここはゲームよ? 現実じゃないんだから見た目の利便性はあまり考えなくて良いの、水着というだけで行動にバフが掛かるんだから」 「なるほど、一理ありますね......ですがコチラの方が動き易いのに変わりはないのでは?」 「レーナさん、こういう時はお洒落を優先しましょ? ね?」 むむむ、この場では二対一ですか......まぁ一の方が私であるならば、この場合はお洒落を優先するのが『普通』なんでしょうね。 「ほら、ここは大胆にビキニとかどうです? レーナさんいつの間にか髪も伸ばしてますし、パレオも似合うと思うんです」 「アンタはスク水に『まりあ』って書かれたのがお似合いだけどね」 そして今さらながらに『メッフィー大公領』から戻って髪の長さを戻してない事をマリアさんに言われて思い出しました。 「「うわっ、でっか......あ、萎んだ」」 私が装備できる様にサイズ調整されていた水着ですが、二人の手に渡った途端に今度は彼女達が装備できる様に大きさを変えたようです。 「それではまた明日会いましょう」 「せいぜい遅れないでよね」 「それではまた明日ですね!」

"Rena, Rena! Why don't you try this one instead?" Maria pointed towards a different swimsuit. The swimsuit I chose covered the whole body and was suited for diving. It was the ideal type that prioritized mobility underwater. "Well, this is a game, not reality, so you don't need to think too much about the utility of your clothes. Just being a swimsuit is enough, as it will buff your stats regardless." Blossom said. "I can understand that, but I still think it would be easier to move on this one?" I replied. "Rena... I think it's important to prioritize fashion in this case." Maria told me. It's two-to-one here... Could it be that it's 'normal' to prioritize fashion with swimsuits? I suppose it doesn't make a big difference in the end, so it's fine to choose something else. "How about this bikini with this pareo, Rena? I think it will go well with you, especially with your now grown hair." Maria suggested. "You'd look good on a school swimsuit." Blossom snickered as she said that to Maria. Though now that she mentioned it, I forgot to shorten my hair again, now that I came back from Meffy... Well, maybe it's fine either way? Shorter hair would be more convenient when fighting, but in a game, I suppose it won't make much of a difference. Perhaps I should just change my hair length according to my mood. "Oh, big... Wait, it shrank!?" Maria exclaimed. As soon as they touched it, the size changed to make it equippable by them... It's the first time I saw such a drastic and visible change happen on the size of equipment. I guess it's easier to notice those changes on clothes than in armors? "Then, see you tomorrow." I told them. "Don't be late!" Blossom exclaimed. "See you tomorrow!" Maria said.

185.第二回公式イベント・Collapsing Kingdomその22 「おや、ハンネスさんではないですか」 「......それだけ覚えてて、よく普通に話し掛けられるな」 「......やっぱり『普通』なんじゃないですか、何処が悪いと言うのです?」 なるほど......話し掛け方や言葉選び自体は『普通』で問題無かったようですが、私と王女殿下の関係性で『普通』に話し掛けるという、その行為自体が『普通』では無かったようですね......中々に難しいものです。 「......はい?」 「お前、は......もし仮に大事な人が殺されて、その犯人が一年も経たずに気軽に話し掛けて来たらどうする?」 「? 何を言ってるんですか? 私の大事な人は殺されていませんし、話し掛けられてもいませんよ?」 「っ! な、なんでもねぇ! さっさと帰るぞ!」 ポン子さんに跨り、今回はハンネスさんと王女殿下用にサイドカーも再現して貰ってから三人で乗り込み、走らせます。 リリィさんもあの後『バーレンス王国』に残って何をしていたのかも気になりますね......一人だけ残って、何か目的でもあったのでしょうか? イベントに参加したいだけなら、大国に所属しているはずですし......彼女? 彼? も謎ですね。 「レーナ様!」 「えっと......私と王女の関係性では会話はご法度なのでは......?」 「......お前、本当に極端だな」 ポン子さんを走らせ、頬に強烈な風を感じ取りながらハンネスさんが丁寧に教えてくれる『普通』と、そのケースバイケースについて感心しつつ良く聞きます。......ハンネスさんって、割と面倒見が良いですね。 「こんな人に私の国は滅茶苦茶に......(小声」

Chapter 185: The Second Event - Collapsing Kingdom - part twenty-two "Oh, Hannes, there you are." I said as I drove the motorcycle Jun towards him. "If you remember that much, then don't talk to her as if you two had a normal relationship..." Hannes heaved a sigh as he said that. "It's not 'normal', I guess? But what might be the problem?" I asked him. "I see... So the problem wasn't that the words I used to communicate weren't 'normal', but that the act of talking in itself, when considering my relationship with the princess, wasn't 'normal'..." I mused. That's quite hard to understand. "Yes...?" I replied, "I thought it was important to greet an acquaintance that I haven't met in a while, so I did it." "Just... How would you react if a criminal that killed someone important to you decided to casually talk to you less than a year after the occurrence?" Hannes asked. "I don't get it? Someone precious to me wasn't killed, and nobody tried talking to me." I answered. "Oh, shut up!" He exclaimed, though I just giggled at that. "Sure, let's get going." I said, then made Jun transform the Motorcycle in a way that would let Hannes and the princess sit on a sidecar. The rest of the people I brought here can return on their own. I also wonder about Lily. She stayed behind at the Wallace Kingdom, but I don't quite know why... Why would she stay there in the middle of the event? That person is somewhat mysterious. "Rena!" The princess exclaimed. "I shouldn't? But I thought I was not allowed to speak with the princess due to our relationship?" I asked him. "You're way too radical..." He sighed once again, "Look, it's troublesome when the perpetrator starts a conversation with the victim, but when the victim is the one who starts the conversation, it's usually seen as a way to compromise, so you should hear her out properly." Hannes explained. "Oh, I see." I said. 'Ordinary' human relationships are truly complicated, but at least Hannes helps me out by explaining them properly. "To think that it was this kind of person that messed up my country so badly..." The princess murmured something, but I couldn't quite understand it. Her tone seemed to be a bit depressed though.

34.クレブスクルム解放戦線その3 口角が釣り上がるのを必死に抑えて、なるべく相手を見下した表情を心掛けます。 「逃亡奴隷を連れてどうするつもり、ですか......それをこの街に於いて人ではないあなたに教える必要が? 」 「......ほう、どうやら死にたいらしいな? 女だからといって容赦はせんぞ? その死体の切り口を見れば只者じゃないことはわかるからな」 そう言って短刀を構え、相手も拳も構えます。どうやら拳打で戦うスタイルのようですね? 一応腰に短剣を差してますが、使われた形跡が一切ありませんね? 手入れはしているようですが............。 「ち、ちょっとレーナさぁ〜ん?! 」 囀るユウさんを無視して互いに相手の出方を探り合います。どちらも間合いが狭く、薄暗い路地というこの立地、そして実力も未知数の相手ですからね、お互いがカウンターを警戒している感じです。 「来ないのならばこちらから――――」 「――――待たんかバカタレ!! 」 「っ?!親父?! どうしてここに居るんだ!! 」 おや? 誰か知らないおじいさんが男性の頭を殴りつけましたね。 「......私は別に二人同時でも構いませんが? 」 「......お主もここは一旦矛を収めてくれんか、場所を移して話がしたい」 ふむ? まぁ、当初の目的には沿いますしむしろ手間がなくて良いのですが......そうですか、お預けですか............。 「......残念ですが、そうしましょう」 「はぁっ〜、若いモンは血の気が多くていかん! ほれ、そこで突っ立てる兄ちゃんと座り込んでる君らもささっと移動するぞ! 」 「っ! あ、は、はい! 」 「た、助かった〜」 まぁ、ユウさんならともかく、せっかく助けた女の子たちを戦いに巻き込むわけにもいきませんからね。ここは引いて最初の目的の達成のために動くとしましょう。 「っ! 親父?! まさかコイツに頼むつもりか?! 」 「......そうじゃと言ったら? 」 「でもコイツは!! 」 「わかっておる、でも他に手はないのはわかっておるじゃろう? 」 なにやら揉めてますね? 私が何かあるのでしょうか? さっきまで殺気を飛ばしあってたからでしょうかね? 「とりあえずささっと移動せんと見廻りが来るぞ、ついてこい」 「そうですね、行きますよユウさん」 とりあえず、案内してくれるようですので素直についていきましょう。 「ワシのことはロン老師とでも呼んでくれ、こっちは愚息のロノウェじゃ」 「..................よろしく頼む」 その直前に軽い自己紹介がされますが、大柄な男性――――ロノウェさんは素っ気ないですね。とりあえず今は放っておいて先を急ぎましょう。 そのままおじいさんは路地を出てから反対側の路地にまた入り、途中の建物の裏口に入って中の店員を無視して店内を横切ってから別の部屋にある階段から地下に降り、しばらく進んでまた登って外に出たと思ったらそこは街の外でした。 「......なるほど、探しても見つからないわけです」 「......このまま船に乗るぞ」 そして出口から近い小川に船が係留されており、それに促されたまま乗り込みます。 「このまま海まで出る」 「えぇ? 大丈夫なんですか......? 」 不安そうに辺りを見回すユウさんに水月への肘鉄をお見舞いしようかと思ったところで『ぐぅ〜』という可愛らしい音がしたので取り止めます、命拾いしましたね。 「お腹が空いてるんですか? これ良かったら食べます? 」 「いいの?! 」 そう言ってインベントリから、昨日と今日とで情報収集のために散々買った屋台の食べ物を取り出しニアさんに渡します。 「に、ニア! すみません! 」 メアさんは一応遠慮しますが、食べたいのが隠しきれてませんね。今も『ぐぅ〜』とニアさんと同じ音が聞こえてきました。 「いいんですよ、ほらメアさんもどうぞ」 微笑みながらそう渡すと、『うっ、すみません! ありがとうございます! 』と深く頭を下げてお礼を言いながら食べ始めます。 別にそんな大層な物じゃないんですけどね。買う時にユウさんが『いや、情報収集ってなにも屋台って決まったわけじゃ......』とか言ってたので酒場に行こうとしたら、『まぁテンプレだけども......』とかほざきやがったのでその場で腹に膝蹴りした曰く付きですが、まぁ大丈夫でしょう。少なくともお腹を壊すことはありません。 「............意外と優しいんだな」 「あなたは私をなんだと思っているのです? 」 ロノウェさんがこちらを訝しむように見てきますね、私そんなにおかしなことをしたでしょうか? 「............いや、なんでもない」 「カッカッカッ、こやつは頭が固いからな、気を悪くせんでやってくれ」 「親父」 「事実じゃろう? 」 へぇ〜、親子仲は良さそうですね? ........................本当にさっきのお預けは残念でなりませんね、まぁ今は我慢しましょう。 「まぁ、構いませんよ」 「カッカッカッ、すまんの」 そうこうしているうちに海に出ました。それからもしばらく船を漕ぐと、一際大きな船が岩礁に隠されるようにしてありました。 「あれがそうじゃ」 「あの船がですか? 」 「あぁ、そうじゃ我ら――――クレブスクルム解放戦線のアジトじゃ」 やはり思った通りビンゴですね、上手くいったようでなによりです。これからの計画がまた随分と進みますね。

Chapter 34 - Krebskulm Liberation Front (Part 3) I desperately tried to suppress myself from smirking. In fact, I was trying to show some consideration to the person in front of me who's showing disdain. "What will I do with runaway slaves, you asked...? I'm not obliged to tell you." "... Oh? It appears to me that you're ready to die. Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're a woman. I know you're no ordinary person just from looking at how cleanly that man's head was lopped off." I readied my shortsword and my fist. He seemed to be a fighter with a fist fighting style. I kept my shortsword sheathed on my waist, and there was no trace of evidence that it was used. Well, it was armed as an extra defense... "H-hold on a second, Rena!" Ignoring the pestering Yuu, both of us were probing each other cautiously. We were in a dimly lit narrow alley which did not give us much room for movements. Both of us were being vigilant since we did not know each other's fighting style and abilities. "If you don't attack, I'll start --." "-- Were you waiting to attack, idiot?!" "Huh? Father? Why are you here?!" Oh? An unfamiliar old man hit the big man's head. "... I don't mind if you come at me at the same time." "... Would you please lay down arms? I'd like to speak with you, so let's go somewhere else." Hmm? This development was going along with my original purpose and less of a hassle... I should put the fighting on hold for the moment... "... Well, that's too bad, but let's do that." "Hmm, young people are too impulsive! Hey, you standing over there and you sitting down there, let's hurry and leave this place!" "Oh! Ah, y-yes!" "Oh, that was close." Well, leaving Yuu aside, it would be unwise to get those girls that I just saved involved in a fight. I shall pull back for the time being and move so I can achieve my initial goal. "Huh! Father?! Are you going to ask this gal?!" "... What if I am?" "But...!" "I know. But you also know that we have no other choice, right?" They seem to have a bit of a conflict, eh? Do I have something they need? Is it because we were showing our killing intents earlier? "Anyway, patrols will get here if we stay here any longer. Follow me." "I guess. Let's go, Yuu." For the time being, it seemed that they would guide us, so I decided to go along. "Call me Sage Ron. This is my son, Ronove." "... Nice to meet you." It was a simple introduction, but that big man -- Ronove seemed to be curt. I decided to leave him be and hurry on ahead. After we left that alley, the old man led us to another alley across the street and went inside the back door of a building in the middle. He ignored the clerk inside the store and proceeded down the stairs in another room to an underground passage. We trudged along the passage for a while and emerged outside the city. "... I see. It's a secret passage no one could find." "... We're going aboard a boat." The boat was moored on the stream near the exit of the secret passage. We promptly got on the boat. "We're going out to sea." "What? Are we going to be all right...?" Yuu looked around in anxiousness. When I was about to nudge him, I heard one of the girls' stomach growled loudly; it was almost cute. They just escaped a dire situation after all. "Are you hungry? Would you like to eat this?" "Really?!" I took out the food I bought for the information gathering quest yesterday and today from my inventory and then gave it to Nia. "N-nia! I'm sorry!" Mea refrained from taking the food I offered them, but she could not hide her hunger. I could hear her stomach growling, just like Nia's did. "It's all right. Here, please take this, Mea." I gave them the food with a smile. She replied, "Uh, I'm sorry for troubling you! Thank you!" She bowed in appreciation and started eating. It was nothing much, though. When I bought them, Yuu complained about how we did not decide to gather information at a food stall, so we went to the bar instead. He then was about to prattle about the template, so I struck his gut with my knee. Well, the circumstances were difficult to explain, but I guess it would be all right. At least it would not cause food poisoning. "... You're unexpectedly kind." "What do you think I am?" Ronove seemed to be astonished as if I just did something out of the ordinary. "... No, nothing." "Ha ha ha, this guy is thickheaded, so please don't take offense." "Father." "It's true, isn't it?" Hmm, their parent-child relationship appeared to be close... Even though it was a pity we put the earlier fight on hold, but I should restrain myself for the time being. "Well, it doesn't matter." "Ha ha ha, please pardon him." After engaging in various conversations, we finally were out at sea. We rowed our boat for farther. There was a remarkably huge boat hidden behind a reef. "There it is." "That boat?" "Yeah, that's right. That's our -- Krebskulm liberation front's hideout." Bingo! It was as I suspected. I was glad they had come to organize a liberation front. With this, my plan would move along quite far.

Chapter 138 - Official Bulletin Board - eleven - and a bit more [Unofficial event] Made on a whim - Thread 5 [Because I can't wait] This is a general chat thread. Let's write freely. However, if you don't abide the basic rules, this thread will disappear. Previous thread: http: // ****** >> 980 Next thread, please. Anyone confirmed that they're participating so far? >> 5 Is this a reference to the last official event? Sounds interesting. Maybe? Gotta wait until more details are decided, since right now it seems kinda pointless. Current Seekers: 95 Current Hiders: 105 >> 90 It's probably a good idea to work in groups to exchange information more easily. Hide and Seek looks fun now. I'll have to prepare a map. Let's go after the Genocider! The hiders seem to be close to being wiped. Oh... Yes! It's decided! Case closed, court dismissed! Why is it suddenly getting harder!? Mom, prepare a grave for me... You're gonna need to get the top 15 players to come to the city to participate, won't you?

You know, there is no way anyone will go after the Genocider or Absolutely Inviolable Area. >> 214 Alright, then as an incentive, I'll give a premium item that can raise or decrease someone's Karma by 10 to whoever defeats one of those two. It's alright, I have rich parents! Lol! Btw, I'll also give 5 tickets to the premium gacha to whoever gets the most contribution into the event if the seekers win! Leave them be, it's funny to see their banter anyways.

==================== 拝啓 肥えた老豚たる帝国 慈悲深き我が王女は劈頭から今日に至るまで自国民を保護することこそを目的としておられた......にもかかわらず、謬見なる貴殿らは人類普遍の倫理から逸脱し、まだ食べ足りないと言わんばかりの獣のように我が祖国に対して情欲を滾らせる。 牽強付会が大好きな帝国産の豚は、恣意に醜態を晒すことを止め、そろそろ二足歩行を覚えて人類に進化してはどうだろうか。知性ありし数多の国を呑み込み肥太った貴国には難しいかも知れないが......いやそもそも無稽なる貪食者たる豚には理解はできなかったかも知れない。謝罪する。 そうそう、無知蒙昧たる娼婦が数多の肉竿を連れて稚拙な営業に来たので峻拒したのだが......残念ながらやはり人と豚ではお互いの常識に齟齬があり理解されなかった。動物好きの王女としては誠に残念である。 だが我々の本音としては仲良くしたいのが純然たる事実である。そのため貴国との友好を敷衍するに当たって娼婦を飾り立て、肉竿を食べやすい大きさに加工しておいた。好きだろう? 豚は共食いが。 貴殿らの未来の飼育者たるフェーラ・ディン・エルマーニュ第一王女より。 親書を握り潰し、プレッシャーを放ったままだった皇帝がやっと声を発する......既にこの場に満たされる殺意から解放されようと今一度大臣の一人が呼び掛けるが反応がなく、困惑が謁見の間に広がっていく。 「失礼ながら陛下、もう一度──」 皇帝からの勅命の内容にその場に居た重臣たちはもれなく全員が驚き、息を呑む。温厚派であり、過激派や主戦派の部下たちを抑える側であった皇帝の変わりように主戦派の将軍ですら驚愕を顔に貼り付ける。 「余の武具を用意しろ! 娘の仇を討つ!」 「......そして娘の安否確認も並行して行え」 この三日後に皇女殿下はすぐに見つかるものの、あんまりな内容に謁見の間で吐く者も現れ、皇帝は涙を流して憤怒する。これに対して帝国貴族は派閥を乗り越えて、御前会議にて全員が参戦派に回るという異例の事態を以て王国との全面戦争を決意することになる。 「主任〜! もうこのサイコパス共イヤっすよ!」 「んー? どったの? またレーナがやらかした? それとも不可侵領域の方?」 「両方っすよ〜、見て下さいよこのログ!」 「ん〜どれどれ............ブッフォッ! 草生えるんだけど!」 「もうこのままワールドクエストにしちゃおう! プレイヤーには王国か帝国のどちらに加担するか選ばせよう!」 「......でもそれだと、どっちが勝っても地域の混沌具合が高まりますが?」 「フェーラ王女の奪還、もしくはレーナと絶対不可侵領域の討伐!」 「王女の奪還はわかりますけど、プレイヤーを狙い撃ちっすか?」 「──こんにちは主任、会議のお時間です」 「......もうそんな時間かな?」 「時間を確認して部屋から逃げたのを確認しておりますが?」

----- Dear Lord Of The Pig Empire, In my mercy as the princess, I have always been aiming to protect my people... However, your kind has deviated from the basic ethics of mankind, and seem to behave like lustful beasts who view others as nothing but food. I cannot understand why the imperial pigs are unable to stop exposing their own ugliness and to walk on two legs like a human being. It shouldn't be too hard for a country that has swallowed many nations with actual intelligent beings in them... Though perhaps this kind of language may be too much for a pig to understand, I apologize. Then let me try communicating in a language even pigs might comprehend. Our country will not allow such disgusting beings to roam freely in our lands. The whore that you sent us together with countless meat rods had her advance refused, but as pigs like you seem unable to understand each other, it seems like they decided to just do their things with one another... What a shame, she looked like a proper princess at first. Though since there is a clear will on your side to try expanding the friendship with us, we have decorated your envoys and their meat rods into appropriate bite sized meat, so that you may eat it if you so desire to cannibalize. From your future owner, Princess Feera Von Hermagne. "Y-your majesty!? Please calm down!" I urged him. He had already jumped out of his own throne and seemed about to storm out of the room, but we couldn't have that, the emperor of all people should be calm at all times, or all will fall to ruin! "The general commanding our battalion was her royal highness! We can't be sure if she-" Still, we cannot let the emperor lose it here... "Please, your majesty, remember that she is a valuable individual for the kingdom. She is worth more alive than dead, so she is probably a prisoner right now..." I tried to reason with him. Even though we expected it, the way his majesty spoke and the scope of it were totally beyond what we imagined. I could see that even our most radical generals who were looking the most forward to the war had nothing but astonishment in their faces. And then, the emperor continued, "Prepare my armor! I'll avenge my daughter myself!" "... And as you advance, investigate the whereabouts of my daughter and find out if she is safe." His majesty added. ... Three days later, her highness was found. The sight of what happened to her and her men made some of our men puke, while the his majesty shed tears of anger. There was no turning back now, the kingdom will pay. "Boss! Those psychos are driving me crazy!" I told the boss as I finished checking the logs. "Oh my? Which one was it this time? Rena or the Inviolable Area?" The boss replied as he moved near me. "Both! Look at this!" I showed him the important parts of what I had just checked. "Well, let's see... OMG! ROFLMAO!" He shouted this out loud... He thought for a second before saying, "Alright, I have decided!" Most of our team sighed while preparing to hear what crazy idea the boss would have come up with now... "Let's make a World Quest! Let the players decide if they wanna help the kingdom or the empire!" It didn't look like a terrible idea, but there was a problem, "Wouldn't the Chaos Faction benefit the most from an event like this? Regardless of who wins?" It did seem unfair to make an event clearly aimed at Chaos after all... "Yeah, rescue princess Feera, or subdue Rena or subdue the Absolutely Inviolable Area!" The boss told us. "I get the rescue quest, but... We're seriously making a quest putting specific players as the targets? Can we even do that?" I asked him. "Boss, it's time for the meeting." The secretary appeared just as he was about to go eat lunch. The boss froze on the spot, "... Is it that time already?" He asked... His tone didn't make his statement very believable though. "You were trying to escape because you checked the time and knew I was coming to fetch you, weren't you?" The secretary accused him.

まるで自分の部屋に入るのだと言わんばかりの自然体で私の寝室に侵入してくる者にそう声を掛ける......が、しかし......えらく若い女だな? それも大国の美姫と言われても納得するであろう容姿の娘だ。 てっきりサーディス辺りからの刺客だと思ったのだが、あそこの好色狸はこんな上玉を鉄砲玉にはすまい......まず自分で囲うはずだ。 「すいません、未成年なのでお酒は飲めないんです」 ふむぅ......まさか未成年ですらあったとは、本当に驚かされる。 未成年にこんな危険な仕事をさせることには怒りを禁じ得ないが、その未成年が一人でここまでたどり着けた事に対する驚きの方が強い。 未成年の暗殺者という特異な肩書きから、拾われた孤児が育てられたのかと思っていたが......私や、この国の王族よりも優雅で気品のある佇まい......細かい所で作法は違うが、その洗練された所作に高貴な生まれであると確信を持つ。 「今宵は月が綺麗だな」 「......月なんて、もはや綺麗なものではありませんよ」 月はもはや綺麗なものではない、か......何やら意味深な事を言う少女だ......私には理解できないが、何やら実感のようなものが籠っている。 「もちろんだとも、時間稼ぎなんて君にはあまり意味がないだろうからね」 私の寝室へと至る廊下には兵士たちの部屋が並んでいたはず......彼女がここに来る前に漏れ聞こえていた騒ぎに反比例する様に静かな部屋の外を思えば......まぁほぼ全滅したと見ていい。 それにここまで深い混沌の気配を漂わせているのだ、十中八九......目の前の少女は〝使徒〟レベルだろう。そこらの雑兵では相手にならない。 「いやなに、この時期に襲撃してくるという事は大公選挙絡みだろう? なら少し私の話を聞いてからでも遅くはないと思ってね」

"Would you like a drink?" I asked the invader who entered my room as if it was a completely natural act for her. She was a young lady, probably a noble, probably a noble judging from her mannerisms. Is she maybe from Serdis...? No, I don't think the people from there would choose such a direct approach... Neither would the people from Fastria. She's probably from a different country. "Sorry, but I'm a minor, so I can't drink alcohol." She replied. "That's a shame..." I suppose I just ain't compatible with those chaos-aligned people. I felt a bit guilty at killing a little girl, but it couldn't be helped, so... I pointed the muzzle of my weapon towards her. ... I just don't get it. Her mannerisms are clearly those of a noble, yet she is working as an assassin? I could understand it to some extent if she was an orphan that was trained for this kind of duty, but this is not the case at all... "The moon is quite beautiful tonight." I mentioned. * "The moon is no longer beautiful." She replied. The moon isn't beautiful... Does she have any hidden meaning with those words? Or is she just making random talk? I don't quite get it. "No, there is no point in trying to buy time." I replied honestly. There were a lot of soldiers stationed on the way to my room, after all. The fact that she even reached this room is enough to know that they cannot help me right now. Though it's understandable... This girl is probably an apostle of chaos. There's no way the soldiers outside would be able to handle someone like this. "I'm just wondering, isn't this attack related to the Grand Duke election? In that case, it might interest you to listen to me." I told her.
