Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

Chapter 35: The Battle Before the Battle

She asks in a surprised voice if the words in my mouth didn't pin.

"Are you kidding me?

Are you sure that's the perception that I'll trump you dressed as a ghost?

"Too sure!

Rather, it's only a mistake.

What's that violence-real shit!

The slaughter and the contents haven't changed at all, and it's like some kind of premise that I'll be killed already.

"I'm not, and you're confident in your speed, aren't you?

But I'm confident in the speed of my escape, too.

So why don't we fight with that?

To my suggestion, but she still shakes her head when she's not convinced.

"Earlier, it seemed easy to catch up with."

"That's because the conditions weren't in place.

You'll never catch up with me if I don't choose my means and do everything I can. "

"... Mm"

The servant also seemed a little offended by what could be described as disgusting.

The cat's ears are stirring up and "Mi-yun" is getting stiff.

...... kawah eh ~.

No, it's certainly cute, but that's not what I mean, and I'm not going to back down here either.

I may have found a way to get away from someone I'm not supposed to get away with.

I wanted to bet on that.

"... ok"

The shark broke first.

He scowls there with no expression and opens his mouth.

"If you say so much, that's fine with the way you fight.

But what about the time limit?

To be clear, I'm confident I'll catch you in less than ten seconds, but how much... "

"Ten minutes."

I whispered shark words, and I told him so.

"... Are you insane?

"This one's gonna be sane."

Her cold eyes and her gaze bump.

For a while, we stare at each other silently.

"You're not lying."

Apparently, her eyes can also be a lie detector.

It's too convenient, isn't it, Mr. Cheetah?

"So, what about the use of weapons?

Again, a total ban?

To the words, I shook my head to the side.

"No, I don't restrict the use of weapons.

I'm not even going to let you attack me. "

"You slap me in the mouth a lot."

With that said, the inside was a cold sweat.

This is, in fact, a bitter choice.

If things didn't get to us the way we thought they would, there's absolutely no winning shot at chasing her without using any weapons.

Then it's better to still be in battle.

Only to the best of all.

"Instead, I don't mean to, but I have preparations here, too.

Give me a whole day. "

"Time, is it?

This is where it matters.

If they tell me to fight right now, I don't have a chance of winning.

Forced, but let's move on.

"Oh. Right..."

Now, how do I explain the time?

Looking at the clock for grounds for judgment, the time was around 8: 30.

This is it, okay?

"Then the battle begins about 24 hours from now.

Let's make it 9: 00 tomorrow morning. "

In this town, there is certainly a bell that can reward the time multiple times three.

Kiri is good, and it's easy to understand.

"Tomorrow morning at 9: 00 a.m., no, five minutes before that, come to me in front of the inn earlier.

Ten minutes from exactly 9: 00, that's our game time.

If you get touched by me in those ten minutes, you win.

Otherwise, what do you say I win?

"... okay"

Fortunately, sharks were not particularly rude and acknowledged the date and time of the battle.

But this is where the battle comes from.

Keep talking all at once.

"This is where the rules about direct battle come from.

I just need some drinks before then. "

"Conditions, is it?

I nodded.

"First of all, regardless of the battle, I would ask Ena, the girl who was with me until just now, not to lay a hand on me"

"I don't mean that any more than I did"

"Still. Promise me."

Intensifying his tone, he nodded over there with various types.

"Then let's promise not to lay a hand on her.

Not if she attacked me. "

"That's enough."

Sharks are whimsical, but they keep their promises.

Now you won't have to worry too much about Ena.

No matter how bad it is, it's over with me dead.

It made me feel much easier.

"And one more thing.

I don't want you to come near me until the battle begins.

I want to believe you're not a fool, but I don't feel comfortable if you get attacked before a battle or steal your prep for a battle. "

No, I really don't believe you would do that, but this is where it matters.

I took a distance from the shark.

"This distance now...... about three meters.

I want you to stay away from me, at least until it's time for a fight. "

This is totally a suggestion to call my wagamama.

It is unknown whether sharks drink this demand......

"You don't have to worry about it.

But if that's all you have to say, I promise you that. "

All right, it took!

I play a gutsy pose in my heart, just in case.

"... okay?

If you agree, from that moment on, if you're within three meters of my radius before the battle, we'll let you lose without waiting for the battle to begin. "

I said, "I don't mind."

I also took the word.

This made it much easier to do later.

But the moment I breathe a sigh of relief, now the shark starts pursuing me.

"Instead, I don't mean to, but there are two things I'd like to confirm."

"... what?

Did they see through my thoughts?

thrilled to hear that, but what she asked was something completely different.

"You haven't said anything important yet.

If you win, what are you going to demand from me?

"Ah..."

I just thought about cutting through this place for now, and I completely forgot.

"Uh, uh, that's..."

A one-horse event with her was meant to keep sharks company.

So if I wanted to after winning, she would surely be one of mine.

But honestly, it's suicidal to keep sharks company and have her serial event now.

Definitely die on the way.

Then maybe it's a good idea to pick the right stuff...

What do you demand at a time like this?

Gold or equipment, or something?

"You will have your life at stake, so I will have a fair price to pay.

I know what I can do, but anything within that range. "

"Anything?!

Anything, is a fascinating word that should not inspire teenagers' desires.

Does anything mean I can fluff shark cat ears all day long?

By the way, what the hell do you say about fluffing cat ears?

I'm not sure already from there, but I want to try something asexual!

but I suppressed my desires and shook my head.

"No, I don't need anything.

So far, there's nothing I want or demand from you.

If I insist, I don't want you to take serious battles like this. "

"Don't you need my help?

You got pride hurt for not being asked, she says that, but, well, that's true.

It doesn't mean it won't be a force of war, though it just means that the derivative events are too dangerous to be left aside.

I chose words to answer.

"Well, if you could help me, I wouldn't be comfortable anymore.

However, if there is no imminent danger, I want to take it easy on my own. "

"Really? You're a strange person."

The tone is cold, though, and the tone flutters, but the cat ears, which were tight on sharks, became 'fuzzy' only a short while ago in the current exchange.

Just for a moment, maybe you could forgive me.

"So that's enough.

So, what's the other one?

But the moment I asked her that, I knew her vibe had changed.

Horribly serious, like the attitude I just had was a lie, she said.

"Now, can you promise me that once I lose this battle, I will give you my own life?

Is that the weight of thoughts hanging in serious battle?

At that moment, it seemed like something with an actual mass held my body down.

I proclaimed slowly, but clearly, not to lose that oppression.

"... oh. I risk my life for this battle."

At the end of the mouth, shark pressure pulls.

"Really? Then nothing more from me"

That's what I say, I try to turn my heel back untrained.

Now the rules are set before the battle, and the negotiations are over.

I'm glad I'm done here.

"Wait!

And for some reason, I was calling sharks.

"Something?

I don't have any expression on my turned face.

Neither does Cat Ear show any emotion right now other than just interest in me.

From the bottom of my heart, I am flat.

He said he decided to exchange his life a few minutes ago.

"Hey, what are you, so obsessed with the duel of your life?

That's a question I've been wondering about her ever since I was in the game, but I couldn't get a proper answer.

I thought it was a mistake to ask the 'Cat Ear Cat' game character for a reason to get that far.

But if she's in this world that's become a reality now, or...

"I know that people are uneven values, but I believe that important things lie ahead of the dead line."

She answered my question with anticipation.

"Become, I see..."

Though I thought she was a Battlemaniac, I learned from her response that she had something called faith.

I can't empathize, but sometimes I can understand it.

"Is that why you were slashing me in the head or trying to kill me?

No matter how much, I thought it was too steep.

If I could cross the dead line, were you trying to gauge guilt or misdemeanor?

That's a messy reason, but if that's the reason, I can get through.

I thought it that way and said so, but she reacted like she was stunned by my words.

"What are you talking about?

You can't really kill people with that kind of argument, can you?

You seemed like an extraordinarily interesting person, so I just made a few threats and tried to see what I could do. "

"Right. I see... huh?

Huh?

Wait?

Wait a minute?

Wait, wait, wait?

Said so.

This guy just said yes.

Could that be a hell of a word right now?

I don't know, is that it?

The first thing I have to do is avoid shark attacks...

Or if I don't say serious battles along the way...

The shark stopped the attack, said, "I just tried you," and that's where the fight was over?

But I took a serious battle out of my way to make a shark who didn't originally want to kill me worry about it and challenge the battle for his life?

Could I have done a hell of a snake foot or an irrevocable snake?!

"See you..."

You saw me suddenly nagging you, and you thought you couldn't get along.

She turns her back on me again and tries to walk away from this place.

Sure, what I'm saying now was shocking, and I found the shark to look like a battle junkie with no prospects, battlemania, and the least amount of line pulling is a guy I know.

(That's why I don't really want to imitate this kind of deception...)

There is certainly something that cannot be given way lightly.

For me, my life is one of them, of course.

And if you have the cloth stone you need to protect it, I won't hesitate to hit it.

So......

(High step!

I used my skills with a shark on my back.
