"Uh, who is it?

The kid's avatar was a little higher than our height, like middle school or high school.

On a twin tail that bounces small enough with a deformed cat hair clasp, with a highly exposed outfit, the class looks like a bandit or treasure hunter at first glance.

Pretty cute face, but now you're angry, you were staring at me with a pretty rugged look.

"My name is Nayu. You must be Mr. Shannon, right?

"Yes..."

I answered honestly for now.

"I can't believe we were already going down to the fifth basement floor...... all of a sudden, I'll sign you up for a battle!

"Huh!? Why!?"

"Some users have voiced suspicion that you are using cheats. I came to make sure of it."

"Hey, wait!? I'm not using cheats!!"

Then Luli next door pulled my clothes.

"Shanan, what's a cheat?

"It's about using fraudulent tools and cowardly behavior that no one else can ever do. You rewrite the data, you create the impossible, you disrupt the balance of the game."

"Then neither Shanan nor I would have done that."

Yeah. You're right, but I wonder if this guy will convince me with that...

"So how did you knock down the boss on the fourth basement floor!? The boss over there is pretty strong and is the first difficulty anyone can get stuck in. Normally, there are two shields who are attacked by the boss, the one who restores it, and the one who attacks in the meantime, the one who challenges at least four people at a party, right?

"Luli will heal you, and I will attack you..."

"You two are less than level 50, are you? Then show me the power. There's an area over there where players can fight."

No. You can't trust me at all...

"Why do I have to prove it anyway in the first place!? It's none of your business!

And, Luli bit.

"Yes. Because I have a duty to correct the fraud in this game!

…… I don't know what that means. "

While Luli is arguing with this guy, I try to open up the simplified status.

And I was stunned by its content.

Name: GM Nayu

Class: Bandit

Level: 785

I'm also surprised at the high level of that, but this GM is no way...

"Luli, wait!

I hurriedly suppressed Luli.

"... Shanan? What's the matter with you?

"This guy is GM..."

"Gamemaster? What's that?"

"Manage this dungeon quest, it's one of the operations."

Rulli seems to have understood the importance of it, too, and she gets quiet at once.

"... is that, like, a school teacher?

... What about the analogy? Unfortunately, I'm not wrong...

"This game was made with the soul of the brave man so that everyone could enjoy it. You can never forgive me for letting that get dirty with cheats! Come on, it's a battle with me!

GM took two short knives out of his hips and set them up with both hands.

... or who's the brave one? No, more than that.

"Wait! If you're running, you can see if you're using cheats by looking at my combat logs and data!

"That's true. But I'm not in charge of program management or development like that. As only one player, it's my job to make sure it's true and false with these eyes and ears. The brave man is so busy, you can't bore that hand. Because those players are just stories I need to check in person!

After all, he doesn't seem convinced he won't compete no matter what...

"Okay. Instead, judge fairly."

"Of course it is. Then follow me."

That's how we move the place. On a short walk, from a bittersweet rocky ground, some open flat ground spread, and the ground was reddish.

"You can play item battles here. Items to bet on... well, whatever."

I recover the MP I consumed with the item and put up my fist.

"Good luck, Shanan!

Luli is there for you at the end.

... but honestly I wonder if I can beat a level 785 gamemaster... no, this should be a battle to make sure I'm not using cheats, not winning or losing. If you fight properly, you'll understand, right?

"Okay, I'm coming!

That's how GM selects the icon.

[Item battle challenged by GM Nayu]

Let me prove to you that I didn't use cheats!

Thus began a battle with too many level differences.
