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

Chapter One Hundred Two Beginning Countdown

He managed to capture Maki, who suddenly escaped after making meaningless remarks and actions, and discussed his future policy.

Surprisingly,

"Mm-hmm. If you leave me alone, this world is gonna be in big trouble, right?

I wish I could, but I want to do something about this world before I go home.

Unlike that game, the castle people were just so good, I want to make sure those people don't die or get hurt "

Maki also insisted on prioritizing game clearance over return.

Of course I was in full agreement with that opinion.

Instead, so much so that if Maki said he wanted to go home soon, how would I persuade him?

"But okay?

Having said that, Maki will have a life of Maki.

You should have more friends over there than I do, and I can see how blank in high school means a lot, unlike college where it's easier to recover to some extent even if you rest.

"That's not good, of course.

But I also tried to be an adventurer in search of Soma, and found that the people of this world were really desperate, and I lived hard.

That's the kind of situation that doesn't make it strange to die all the time, living with your life at risk. "

Maki says with eyes that look away somewhere.

But I don't know what that idea is.

In this world, the danger of life is in a much closer place.

Mitsuki's remarks, which sometimes sound extreme, for example, seem to represent it in the extreme.

In fact, in this' cat, ear, cat 'world, people die for a few mistakes, towns perish, and mankind perish.

And you can stop it...

"I'm gonna say something totally eye-catching from the top, but we're a little strong right now, aren't we?

I wonder if there's anything I can do for the people here. "

"Maki..."

Soon, Maki started saying fine things too.

... Well, if I hadn't robbed or massacred items from that 'people here' to protect in the game, it would have been a more inspiring dialogue.

"All right, all right!

But if Maki is so prepared, there's no reason for me to disagree.

"For now, let's move to make this world peaceful.

I also want to make sure that we defeat as many monsters as we can and eventually defeat the Demon King. "

"Ugh!

Maki beats Akitori well.

"It's just that managing events to defeat the Demon King is pretty tough.

Nearly all of the story events need to be done, and that takes a huge amount of time and effort.

Plus, there's a chance we can shortcut some terms now. "

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Maki couldn't follow the topic and snapped his neck.

I can't help it.

This is my lack of explanation.

"Uh, I mean, I have to do all sorts of prepping to defeat the Demon King.

In other words, the main story of this game leads to the preparation to defeat the Demon King in all its clogs. "

Defeating the Demon King is the clear condition of this game.

Then if that's all you can do, you can always clear the game, it's not.

A systemic obstacle that cannot be overcome by simple abilities or levels stands in front of the player.

For example, the incarnate black cloud of Demon King power drifting over Demon King's Castle.

When a player approaches Demon King Castle without taking action, a dark thunder popping out of the dark cloud instantly turns the player's HP to 0.

Or a blood pond boiling around Demon King's Castle.

Even if they manage to cut through the thunder of darkness, players will not be able to systematically cross the pond around the castle and will not even be able to cross to the castle until they obtain a specific quest item.

In addition, it is assumed that you cannot defeat the Demon King without various quest items, such as stones needed to break through the labyrinth of the castle, mirrors to find hidden stairs, and gems that weaken the Demon King.

And the only way to get that quest item is to complete the Story Quest.

(But this world is no longer the same as it is)

Freedom of movement has spread and unreasonable restrictions on players have disappeared.

Now we may be able to blow the clouds of the sky with strong winds, or we may be able to cross the blood pond with an air hammer and an instant bump.

The castle gimmick may also be avoided by breaking walls or breaking through the castle's outer walls, and it is not more impossible than it was to defeat the demon king without weakening.

Which schemes are shortcutable and which events are mandatory.

It can be a waste of time not to think more about it.

"I'll think about that some more, too.

So now I want to be able to use the methods that may be… "

"There is a way back!?

Maki has also eaten up strongly on this.

I guess Maki feels strongly about 'wanting to get back' too.

I just want to answer that this is a chest stretch.

"... I really don't know which one it can be, and if it doesn't work, I might die in the worst case scenario, but there's something I'm thinking about for once"

It's not exactly a way to be sure, and it's dangerous.

I retained it for this degree of answer.

"Yeah, it's amazing enough! So, how do you do it?

Still, Mayuki's eyes sparkle when she finds hope.

However,

"I'll talk to you when I'm ready to learn more about how.

But for that, I want Maki to do something. "

I missed my eyes just a little bit and avoided making any explicit remarks about the specific means.

I wondered if we could talk within the uncertainty, and most importantly, about Maki.

I don't know what I'd do first if I taught you how to do it.

Worst of all, "I can't let you do such a dangerous thing like that!" or breathe and may experiment on its own.

At least this method is not the kind of thing that a person who doesn't have the information about that game can find in a nasty way.

I secretly decide to stop teaching Maki until I'm critical.

"To try that method, I need two things.

One is something I've got in the game.

The other thing is what I was going to get.

Neither is easy to prepare, but I'm going to hit the one who gets it once.

So... "

"Yeah, okay"

Before I could say anything to everyone, I felt what I wanted to say and Maki nodded forcefully.

"I will support you as much as I can!!

"No, chicken!

I had no idea.

"I'm not, and right now, Mayuki's a princess, so you can use all the connections you want, right?

I want you to use that power to hit the other one!

"Huh?!

Maki voices dissatisfaction.

But I can't go that way.

There's a reason I don't want to go.

"Leila in this city is supposed to get the items she needs at character events, but it's a lot of trouble.

So I want to avoid going directly. "

I have never cleared it, but I understand with my own hands that it is a very dangerous event.

No, there's an event, well, it's dangerous anyway.

"But that was an event dedicated to male PCs, so in case Maki does not have a problem.

I just don't have direct contact with that person if I can, and I want you to negotiate with that person through the Knights and manage to get the items you need. "

"Mmm. I'm not sure about Pi Shi or anything, but if that's what you want me to do, I'll do my best..."

Disgruntled, he seemed convinced for once.

"Write your precautions together on paper, so when you're done with it, break up and act!

Yeah, we need to get the apples too!

I took the paper and pen out of the bag, saying so so so as to spatter while Maki was still in the mood.

Mitsuki and Ringo came quickly.

"Are you finally leaving?

I've been so tired of waiting. "

Mitsuki has not broken his attitude without me, and he is clear, but his cat ears are perfect, and he broke slightly to Maki, representing his intrigue.

I don't know what you're worried about, but I don't have to wish I could say that if I wanted to talk to you.

The apple on the other hand,

"What can I do for you?

This one didn't even try to hide her own desires, but stared at Maki still.

But even if Mayuki asks, Ringo doesn't try to answer anything.

I just kept staring at Maki.

A sense of urgency that somehow fills the field.

That goes without saying, two warlords hanging out on the battlefield.

The breathless tension, however,

"- Huh?!

By the apple of the day, it collapsed rapidly.

An apple with a stunned colour for a moment on its supposed faceless face,

"... eh"

I said something familiar.

But that voice is the opposite of the usual.

When I found my branched hair, it was something that even felt defeated, unlike the tone of joy in the pale.

"What? What's the matter?

Leaving Maki unaccompanied by the sudden change of circumstances, Ringo quietly dropped his shoulder as it was and hid behind me.

"No, that, apple?

"............ soma"

When I speak up, he looks at me with a squeaky eye.

(No, even if they look at me like that...)

Though I think so, I'm not numb enough to shake it off.

Not sure what to do, what did you think,

"... n"

The apple has stuck its own head at me.

A sudden head thrust attack of a confused apple!... then, of course not.

"Maybe you're telling me to look for branch hair?

When I asked, the apple's head nodded.

"No, but..."

Game characters don't have branch hair, so you can't possibly find them looking for them.

I saw the other two asking for help.

Maki hasn't been able to swallow the situation at all,

"... it's too late, Kuma"

Mitsuki just turns to "I haven't noticed anything," he says.

Even the cat ear turned sideways and said, "Hey, I haven't seen anything!" and makes a desperate appeal.

Conversely, it's easy to understand, but whatever it is, it's not going to help me.

"Well, don't expect too much, huh?

I had no choice but to stare at my apple hair and look for branched hair.

But there can't be any branch hair on the apple more than the original.

Still, I'm serious. Because of the appeal, I occasionally tried to tear my hair apart and give it a feel I was looking for.

(But this is something... yuck!

I don't know what sucked, but it sucked anyway.

Somehow, it's too much of a rush.

When you rinse with your hands and insert your fingers, you have little response and then flow and no scratches.

I don't know, but something's amazing.

Is this apple special or is all the characters in this gaming world?

No, but I also feel like Ena's hair and all that was a habit hair that seemed fine, and if I tried to do it with my hands, it would be scratchy.

Does it still mean that the former princess was of a different character?

"... n"

Weirdly thrilled that the apple would creep into its body,

"So now we're gonna check the back, huh?

"... ok,"

I'll go around behind the apple and check my hair for real.

(Oh, I knew it)

The amazing thing about this hair isn't just the touch.

Even though it's unlikely blue hair in real life, it doesn't feel cheap.

Instead, if you just slightly shrug and watermark it into the light, it looks very pretty.

I've never seen anything like superb silk thread, but I don't feel like I would take any hiccups from those things either.

Using this to make clothes, it seems as easy as a water feather coat.

No, the charm of apple hair doesn't stay to that extent, of course.

Do you understand, this...

"- What are you doing earlier?"

And so for some reason, Mitsuki pissed me off.

But thanks to that, you return to me.

"... soma"

When I drop my gaze, I see the face of the apple looking back at me, faintly red.

I dared to leave the apple.

"As soon as you're obsessed with something, you forget what's going on around you and common sense."

That's what Maki tells me as if I'm stunned.

No, regardless of the situation, I don't think common sense is something to forget, but it seems useless to argue here, so I held my mouth and endured.

Mitsuki seems even angrier than Maki,

"Weren't you leaving for your next destination?

He seemed to have lost his purpose along the way in the first place, and if he was hairy, I couldn't beat him. "

That's what they said in tougher words than usual.

Cat ears also say, "How's it going!" and all the hair tips, appealing to its superior hair quality.

I'd like to say where you're burning your sense of confrontation.

"That being said, you can't help it because you're not coming, can you?

Where the hell is he... "

"... Coming"

She came just when she said so, and the apple pulls the hem of my clothes.

"Are you finally here? Kuma, are you... Kuma?!

Seeing that, I was stunned.

Kuma showed up on the dance floor of the stairs.

The appearance was completely different from before.

It made countless dolls withhold behind, weaving waking bright red cloaks, and even felt the king's style as he stood at the top of the stairs.

When Kuma finds us,

- Nita.

He began to go down the stairs with a grin that made him feel awesome,

"Ah!"

I took my first step off and rolled down to the bottom of the stairs.

Moreover, along the way a large cloak was entangled in the body, caught up in it, and by the time it fell to the ground, Kuma had turned it into a mysterious object wrapped in a red cloth.

The bright red cloth that fell to the ground is desperate.

"... ah"

The apple that saw it raised its voice low.

"What's up?

"... This, Aye Heya's, Sheet of Beds"

"... oh"

Speaking of which, the original bed in the red room was certainly bright red in the sheets as well.

If you bring such a big thing and wrap it around your body, it would be natural to fall into this situation.

"Kuma......"

Did you want to get that far and cool?

As I looked at the red cloth, which was so complicated, Mayuki, who had come beside me, asked me flashly.

"... yeah, soma. What, this?

"My people... I wonder?

Mitsuki nodded at my words with confidence.

"Uh, yeah. They really call their friends."

"Please don't include me there."

Mitsuki pointed at the cat's ear and stabbed him in the nail.

Immediately after rescuing Kuma, we all left the mansion.

I was just outside, and Maki asks.

"So, what are you going to do now?

"How come you're still following me more than that?

On the contrary, he asks, but Maki is not comfortable.

Instead, I'm going to look at you with those eyes that you're one of us.

"Well, we can have a little bit of it, right?

"Mm-hmm. See you on the way."

It's not like I got hit in the eye for being one of Maki's people, but it's not like I'm in such a hurry.

It's hard for Mayuki, the princess, to act with me for too long, but she won't mind if she doesn't leave this city for a while.

"So, what are you going to do?

I looked so bitter that I could see myself answering the question I had once again.

"Told you?

I'll do what I can.

I don't mind, but I'll have to see him again. "

"That guy?"

Asking Maki, I nodded in a heavy mood.

"The most annoying sorcerer in the world, making him the world's most powerful user of magic.

It's Suthern, the most powerful genius asshole wizard. "

Unfortunately, Mitsuki doesn't seem to have any acquaintance with Southern.

Instead, I had Lyden's place explored that I think he was working with Suthern.

"Now... you're a lot more northwest than the city. Besides, this could be on the move"

Looks like Ryden is out of King's Capital.

Is Suthern with you?

The Demon King Castle is true north of here, so if you went northwest, you probably didn't go to defeat the Demon King.

If so, maybe he's also taking some kind of quest.

That's quite a hassle.

However, that party member has an unusually high level of individual competence, regardless of collaboration.

You'll probably be able to return no matter what situation you find yourself in.

I can feel safe in that sense, but the response could change depending on which event you are involved in.

If you're such a prominent member, the people of the city might know something.

I decided to gather their information in the city before I went after Ryden and the others.

And naturally, if you want to gather information in this city,

"Auntie, three apples!

I've decided to go to my aunt in 800 houses.

"You come a lot too... Maido!

Give me 150E and receive three apples instead and give the apples the apples.

Yeah, it's been a long time since I've done this.

"That's right, I always take care of you.

So, I still need to know something today, you know what a Southern is?

"Southern...... Oh!

You're a disgusting masked wizard from a party of prominent adventurers, aren't you?

Well, then you know!

Aunt Boulder, we're talking fast.

Besides, it looks like this also took the back that Suthern is partying with the Alexs.

"So do you know where that party went?

My aunt answered my next question without hesitation.

"I hear you have a big job up north.

Didn't you go to that?

I don't know much about the monsters storming out in the basement of the northern village or the girls being exposed to evil people, but it seems to be a lot of rumors. "

"Kidnapping a girl, to a village in the north, underground, to a cult...?

An alarm rings in the corner of my head in the streak of Terms I'm used to hearing.

My aunt doesn't care how I look like that.

"I don't know that much about it either.

If you're so concerned, why don't you go to the boulevard tavern and ask?

"Alcohol, venue...?

It looked faint in the distance, pointing to the city's largest liquor store.

(Ah...)

When I saw that, I thought I heard a chirp in my head, like a piece of puzzle fitting in.

Head to head is a bunch of adventurers, I saw by the time I went to the castle to get my medal.

Why didn't you notice?

The only reason the adventurers were flooded with the city was because of the aftermath of the Wangdu raid event.

At least a bunch that was headed outside the West Gate.

They were adventurers challenging 'A Big Quest' with that tavern as their starting point.

"Really? Thank you, thank you."

The mouth was spouting words of gratitude on its own, but the thought is already leaving the event in front of us and exploring the way forward.

Anyway, I can't waste a second anymore.

I walk away from my aunt and go back to my people in an irresistible foothold.

"Ah, soma. Did you find out who Zazane was?

I answered Maki with a hard voice that I could tell by myself.

"... Mahiko, get back to the castle now and send the Knights to the place we're going to say"

"Soma?

Suspicious sounds like Mahiko's voice.

But I don't have time to explain.

"Too bad, but play time is over.

We were a little too relaxed.

It may be too late, but we're going to have to do everything we can. "

The quest they headed for was' The Labyrinth of Sacrifice '.

That quest, which is so vicious as to make it bi-perfect with the 'Blue Bird of Michaels' quest, has something decidedly different to the 'Blue Bird of Michaels' though.

That's how dangerous the quest is.

"If we don't hurry, we're in big trouble.

To the quest they headed... "

Unlike "Mikhail's Blue Bird," which basically never puts players in crisis, "The Labyrinth of Sacrifice" has a high risk of game overruns.

Because it's a battle-related quest, players as well as NPCs can be killed, and most importantly, on that quest...

"- Other than player death, there is a forced game over!
