■ [Lazy Demon King] ZZZ

Very depressed. Melancholic.

The weather is moderately nice today, so I could have slept uninterrupted with pokapoka cheerfulness.

It sounded like when the Dis guy ate every sky from the end of the horizon (...).

It's my favorite sleeping gear to sleep quietly, but the difficulty of letting the sounds that are safely involved come through.

I mean, this is dangerous, so that's depressing again, too.

'... annoying, already...'

I got up, so I had no choice but to fly a [slur] for reconnaissance.

Then I didn't say anything, not dis, who has a priori.

I feel like I don't look familiar in a quadruple.

So, there are more than two signs of a < super > appearance from there.

But I'm sure there's three of them. Worn out, maybe. Service clothes are non-human.

Dis, Benettonache, and the annoying people made me understand in that kind of atmosphere.

"Mendoyi..."

It's hard to even think about dealing with it, Baker.

Besides, if it was frightening, it would have increased again.

Something's flying, but the outfit is blatantly bad.

Even the most demonic “bottomless” don't dress like that...

So, these four and one... well, yeah, enemies.

You're all enemies. Enemy.

It's already a hassle, it's annoying with sleep jamming, and if you come this way, it's dangerous, so let's take the lead and take it down. Knockdown.

'... uh... yes... I'm awake...'

Ask the maid for dinner. Where?

Ring the bell beside the bed and ask the maid of the wool race to come.

Hey...... no, I'm pretty worried. Request an omelet for dinner.

Then, dispatch forces are also duly instructed.

Mithrill [Slal], which Replacorn B had increased at some point, and dispatch Cardinal A for Keeper (...). Gogo.

He's the guy I've tried to make with the Aragorn motif from Benetnache, but I've never used it in action before. Testo.

Well, as always, even with new faces. It's time to throw it into Dreamland and taco beat the flesh. Killkill.

All right, I used my head on dinner requests, and I'm getting sleepy feeling good -... Suya.

I'm going that way, too. Dreaming.

And sleep disturbance is... the death penalty. Despenaah.

"Good night then...... ZZZ"

■ [Night Hunter] Garbera

"... where, here?

As soon as I had the aftermath of the explosion of a monster made of Mithril, my vision dimmed and I stood in a space that, when I noticed, was unintelligible.

I'm on an elongated, thin road.

How do you know that, because when you look around, there is an endless stretch of thin road.

There are no foundations or columns anywhere but thin, winding roads.

The colors are also colorful and unrealistic, not asphalt black or cobblestone white.

I don't know what to say, it's like Rainbow Road (...) in an old Japanese race game.

I've played with my dad, but I hate that stage...

"Downstairs... you can't see"

Peeping down from the edge of the road...... I couldn't see anything with thick clouds.

... What happens if this falls?

"" Prison "... isn't it?

It wasn't an absurd sight to be in jail until just now, either.

Could it have been flown somewhere in that explosion?

Get a map window to find out where you are... oh?

"... I'm not answering?

I can't open the map window.

I mean, I can't even see the menu window.

Even the simple status cannot be checked.

............... Nanicole?

"No, this... what am I supposed to do about logging out or something?

No way, like a decades-old cartoon, stuck in a game or something......?

You don't... tell me you don't...!

"What the heck... The owners, the aprils... they don't even have candy..."

I mean, I don't even see my kid.

Dendro, you're the most pointless situation I've ever been in...

I'm over the owner...

"Is anybody there?

Raising his voice, he just wooded into a space where he didn't know how big it was.

... I have no choice. In the meantime, we'll just have to walk down this rainbow road...

While walking, think about the situation.

As far as I could see before the darkening, the owner and Candy were having an explosion just like me.

If there's any cause you're here right now, you two should be here.

... Whatever the candy is, the owner should be able to do something about it in this situation as it is omnipotent.

I need to rendezvous with the two of you for that... but I don't see any...

"What am I supposed to do alone..."

For some reason, there's no Alhazard, and I'm just less than Kanst right now, huh?

If a monster like [Slal] comes out earlier, he'll kill me...

"Anyone but me can come out..."

Wall role, Wall role Chamon......!

Thinking that way,

Suddenly, the colourfulness of the scenery increased.

An unspeakable mist of color began to bubble in... covering my sight.

Nothing, I can't see.

"What is this... I'm scared...!

Sounds like a horror game my dad was playing!?

This is ok!? Doesn't come out of the fog sucking bucket stuff!?

I don't mess around or grossly!?

"- Hey."

"Ahhhhhhh!?

Something grabbed my shoulder from behind. Ahhh...!

"Calm down, please!

"We are not enemies"

"... well?

To that voice, look back.

I don't know what's coming out. It's a weird place, and I don't care if you're not the enemy.

"Oh. Because I'm a dragged mouth here, too. My name is Ray Sterling. This is my nemesis. Well, it looks like the owner at your place knew."

It was an enemy.

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [Spellman] Ray Sterling

After falling into [forced sleep] with that jade insect colored aura, I noticed it was being sent into this space.

There was no silver figure I was supposed to be riding, no heart or my body was light and restless.

However, Nemesis was relieved at first because he seemed to be at his side and was able to weaponize without any problems.

Soon afterwards he was wrapped up in an unnatural strange mist and, if he noticed, he ran into one of the parties he had slept with earlier.

It's a woman who was badly injured and undergoing treatment.

"I said whoever... why..."

It's just that for some reason she looks at me and she's wolfy, and she's got a head.

... Is there something wrong?

'... not because of your lord's outfit?

Nemesis, are you blaming me for everything I've been wearing lately?

One outfit and a strange woman holding her head, right?

"Weren't strange bandits surrendering with their heads the other day"

... I'm sure the other three were too strong, not just me.

"Ugh... there's no Alhazard at this time..."

"Are you okay...?

"... yeah, I'm fine. I'll calm you down a little..."

"Oh......"

Because of me, because of this space, they seem to be hunting me down a lot.

"So what's your lord's name?

"... my name? It's Gabella............................................. ah"

Answer Nemesis's question with her own name...... she held her head again.

"She's a busy daughter..."

"... well, this is the situation and I can't help it"

But Gabella.

The name sounds familiar.

However, his brother and Luke fought under the same name.

The garbella was a horrible Guardian user who was completely undetected, but apparently an overconfident and highly assertive woman.

"... uhh... my idiot... I'm not a jerk anymore...... I knew I was the worst..."

... It's the opposite of her being a wolf here and despising herself for some reason.

Gabella, whom my brothers fought in the first place, should be in “prison," so naturally she's someone else.

As she was worried about what to say to her squatted, she glanced at Giroli with more tears.

"... why are you so calm...? I was suddenly put to sleep and brought to an unexplained place..."

Why are you calm...?

Well, if you say what it is... it must be because you've experienced it.

"... I've been abducted from a religious group while I was sleeping."

"Yep... what's that scary..."

Yeah. You're frightened to death when you think about it again, that.

"You mean you're used to unreasonable trouble, so you're calm?

"It will."

"Is that something you can get used to...?

…………

I guess I shouldn't get used to it, but I can't help but get used to it.

Plus there's not only trouble, there's another thing I've been through.

"Finally, this isn't the first space like this"

"Huh...? You know this wonder space?

Nod and respond to Gabella's queries.

"This is... this is my dream."

To my answer, Gabella blinks.

"... not in the game? I mean, isn't a dive-shaped VRMMO already like in your dreams?

"It's in Dendro. But the dream in it… is the space that is sent when the avatar becomes [forced sleep] or [stun]"

I have experienced it several times in the past.

[Armor] with both hands... Gardranda and I have recently moved my avatar in my dream space by that axe.

"Oh. That sort of thing..."

"But they usually send me to a space where there's nothing, and there's no one but me. Sometimes he's not even there. But now it's not just me, Nemesis... there's mine too. So this is a dream, but not just a dream."

"In other words?"

"Someone... maybe [Lazy Demon King] is connecting our dreams"

"... does that make sense to connect?

I know what she's trying to say.

I mean, why don't we just put him to sleep and then attack him?

There were still a lot of [slurs] left. All you have to do is put him to sleep if you just want to kill him.

"Oh. If you're just going to finish us off, you don't have to connect your dreams. So this must have some other purpose..."

Or maybe this space itself is involved in putting us to sleep.

"Ha... too many things I don't know -... The owner might know something..."

"Speaking of which, is it just one person? There must have been some other people."

"... that's what I want to know..."

Either way, now we have to move on alone.

I don't know where the path in my dreams leads, but this place will have to go first.

Besides me and Nemesis, are you fortunate to find a companion with the same predicament as Gabella?

"... something weird has happened to me"

But somehow she followed me with a complicated look.

◆ ◆ ◆

■ In dreams

"So, Zee doesn't know anything about this Embrio, sir?

"Yes, because the only [Demon King] I've ever fought is the [Runaway Demon King (Lord Gras)] Dis Satis Factory"

In a dream connected by [Lazy Demon King], Zex and Candy were rendezvous.

Having the two of them is on the same road as where Ray and Gabella rendezvous.

"I can only tell that neither Job Skills nor TYPE in Embrio is as different as [The Raptor King]"

"It's the same [Demon King] and it's such a different thing, sir?

"Yeah. [The Raptor Demon King] is the type of guy who fights head-on, not these flatterers. It was either a personal battle or a wide-area extermination."

Candy said, "Did you win? I tried to ask," I stopped.

At that point, Zex was not incarcerated, and [Rapture Demon King] is still here. Because the situation was one answer.

(Is that a draw?

I don't know at what point you fought Zex, but at least [Raptor Demon King] seemed to have more fighting ability than Zex and each other.

If so, it means that [Lazy Demon King], who is regarded as an ally and is similarly qualified, will also have the corresponding power.

"But when it comes to verifying this dreamy space,"

"If we're right, we're going to be forced into a considerable disadvantage in this space."

"Especially since GOD isn't going to help this time, sir."

Candy exhales as he circles the lechef, his own < embrio >.

I can hear the wind blowing out of the Lechev's discharge port, but there's no way the bacteria are spitting out.

"It's empty, sir... Even if you try to make it, it disappears from the edge you made it, sir."

"Bacteria without thinking can't exist in this space."

This place is in a dream.

It's a space where only dreaming things can exist, but therefore, the Lechev bacteria are not in here, nor can they exist even if they try to make it.

And what you make in your dreams doesn't even show up in reality.

Dragged in [Lazy Demon King] wouldn't have assumed this compatibility either, but Dreamland was completely disabling Lechev.

Or maybe this is why the bacteria that break down misrills didn't work.

"Even though bacteria are among the first generation lechefs...... It's not fair to have Zee from Slime, sir. It's bacterial discrimination, sir."

"It may be more of a distinction than discrimination. I guess I'll have to ask [Lazy Demon King] himself what that distinction means. Speaking of distinction, Aprile may not be here either"

Aprile is thought-provoking, but she is a brilliant man.

Here it is: 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' and so on without needing to bring up the classical SF title, and think that perhaps Aprile will not be here.

In the first place, because the abnormal state of [forced sleep], the gateway to this dream, is irrelevant to her.

I can tell you that this is completely different from it, even if it can be in a sleep state.

"But I'm sure you'd better."

"... right"

Candy snorts hard at Zex's words.

"Without Aprile out there, I'd go back to jail while I slept, sir."

◇ ◆ ◇

□ ■ South-end and border mountain forests of the Kingdom of Alter

…………

Aprile was wielding the wires on both arms and intercepting the impending [slur] of Mithril.

She stands alone and against numerous [slurs].

Because both her owner, Zex, and her companions, Gabella and Candy, suddenly lost consciousness.

Therefore, he struggles to protect them as his own role as a brilliant ballplayer in combat.

I didn't have the option to leave this place.

Unlike [Black Ball Tracker], who was a sister aircraft, Aprile is not very good at fast combat.

I didn't think I could get away with holding the three of them.

……

Mithril's defenses are dropped to the limit by Material Slider, tearing them apart with a wire.

But even if it falls apart, [Slal] still tries to get close.

Kick it off and pull it away from the sleeping Zexes.

The defense of the metal that became the material before the april makes no sense, but is ancient to this unusual life force.

…………

And apart from her, in the air a single brilliant jade horse kept the Lord on its back, continuing to dodge the attack of the winged [slur].

Stranger cavalry. But it was obvious from its creation that it was something that Flagman, his own creator, had created from hand to hand.

Although the actual sense of a sister machine is thin because of the different series, Aprill's arithmetic circuitry remembers the odd feeling that it encountered here after 2000 years.

"Cover"

Thus, Aprile extended the subject of "Material Slider" to [Slal] in the air, intercepting [Slal] attacking Silver by throwing stones.

…………

No response from Silver, but it inhibits it by creating a wall of air against the [slur] fragments that were approaching Gabella from the shadows.

Although the two stand in different positions now, the owners who give the instructions are in their dreams.

Therefore, Aprile and Silver decided to work together to protect each other.

"… GI"

Cardinal A, the commander of [Slal], was just watching behind him.

It's like waiting for something......
