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

Chapter 122: The Supreme Readiness

I fell to the ground and my stiffness broke, and I got up right away.

"Ah, duh. I almost forgot."

I'm worried about the apple reaction, but that's why I need to do something before I do.

The effects of The Incarnation of Anger are not yet over.

I'll check where Butcher was, the drop items that fell there, while I'm at three times my own speed.

Kingbutcher dropped the same two types of items as before.

The Great Sword "Meat Cutting Knife" and the doping item "Power Seed".

And this little species, Power Seed, was the last reason I challenged King Butcher.

It doesn't make much sense that in this game, where the final parameter is more than 1000, you used seeds to increase your muscle strength by only 1 or 2.

That's the same as dust if you say so, and that's unlikely to affect the game balance.

But what if that's 100, 200 and it keeps piling up?

- Dust, too, becomes a mountain.

As the adage suggests, the muscle strength bottomed up by Powerseed should be my big, big weapon.

Typically, seed based items are only available about boss drops, and their number is limited.

But it is this kingbutcher who breaks down that common sense.

This guy, who is inherently the unique boss of the dungeon, definitely drops the 'power seed' that should have a limited number of acquisitions.

And most importantly, there is no limit to the number of appearances of this guy that emerged from the bug.

As long as I keep knocking down Butcher, theoretically, I'll have unlimited access to this Powerseed.

(This is the first step)

I take the seed items I've gotten so far out of my bag, and once again I finally and politely pick up the seeds that Butcher dropped this time.

Anyway, this is going to be the trump card to defeat the Demon King.

I'm not going to flip my own words when I just give up mastering three times faster skills in this fight and say, "I'm not going to use my skills outside of the next three times faster".

Between now and the time limit, I will always be able to cancel my skills three times faster.

But even if you triple the speed, it's hard to defeat the Demon King as it is now.

Defeating the Demon King requires overwhelming speed as well as overwhelming attack power.

But both sides of the spectrum stood.

Combining "The Incarnation of Anger" with tons of power seeds, I'm sure -

(- Oh, come on?

It was when I tried to pinch up the seeds that were falling and bring them together and into my mouth.

Unexpectedly, physical freedom becomes less favourable.

(What, this...)

No, it doesn't mean I can't move my body at all.

However, the movement is incredibly slow and my body feels heavy as lead.

It feels like the clothes you're wearing, the armor, have suddenly gained weight.

It's like it's not my body, my whole body is unrestricted and dull.

(Hey, why...)

The hand I tried to lift doesn't move satisfactorily.

I try to lift my arms with all my strength, but I lose my strength.

I can't move every single finger satisfactorily.

Obvious anomalies.

Suddenly I panicked and finally realized.

(This, no way, the 'Angry Incarnation' recoil, huh?

"Angry Incarnation" raises all of the player's basic abilities to triple for thirty seconds after activating them, but for the next thirty seconds it reverses the player's basic abilities to one-hundredth.

Come to think of it, this makes sense.

Agility, that is, if you move a hundredth faster, you won't be able to move your body properly, etc., and if your muscle strength is a hundredth, the weight of the gear you've been fine with wearing will multiply by a hundred and come down.

(Honestly, I was watching sweetly, dude...)

This is beyond the dimension of what the parameters are.

In VR-based games, the functions involved in the player's senses are strictly audited, and the current law forbids, in particular, the technology to accelerate brain function, on top of the fact that it is not established.

So the only thing that is agile and changes is the speed at which the body moves.

In particular, the brain, eyes and mouth directly linked to the ability to communicate should not have been affected by agility.

But that's why, unnecessarily, that anomaly emerges.

(It's like, golden bondage...)

A hundredth of a speed means that it takes 100 seconds, or as much as a minute and 40 seconds, for an operation that usually ends in a second.

Seriously, the sensation of the brain is only so close to normal that it makes me feel the fear that my body will not be free.

At least in this situation, you can't possibly fight your enemies.

Using an 'incarnation of rage' outside of a situation where you can always defeat your enemies in 30 seconds is no longer tantamount to suicidal behavior.

I am relieved once again by my recklessness.

And

(Shima, shit...!

Awareness of the cause cut the thread of tension.

power fell out of the hand I was lifting, and seeds were about to spill out of it,

"Ah..."

The hand was gently supported from the bottom.

Sleepy cold, little hands.

"Lynn, go...?

I moved my tongue without heart or spinning badly and called it that name.

…………

It's just that she's always supposed to call herself "... soma" modestly silent.

The apple's face is a little above mine because I'm solidified in a slightly yielding position.

I couldn't lift my face, but I barely lifted my moveable eyes, and I asked for the look of the apple.

Even at a time like this, Apple's face is seemingly faceless and I don't see the color of agitation.

However, only a few millimeters more eyebrow root than usual, my heart and mouth are drawn tighter than usual, and only a little more than usual, my eyes seem to be moist......

No, I mean, this...

"Ringo. Could it be, cry...... muggle!?

All of a sudden I got all the seeds in my hand stuck in my mouth.

I was surprised by the surprise, but there's no way I'm gonna spit it out.

Move your mouth in the first place and shatter the seeds.

The specs of the game should not have slowed down the movement of the mouth, but there was still somewhat of a pull when it became a reality, the movement was dull.

Still, at least as a counterattack, I tried to look him in the face of the apple again, but I looked up again.

- Boo-hoo.

Now it was something soft, sealed with every sight.

Only momentarily late, I realize it was held by the apple's chest.

(Ko, this...!

When you are unknowingly upset by the soft feeling and the body temperature transmitted,

"... awesome, puffy"

Such a small voice comes down.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't tell you anything when I got my mouth blocked.

Scold your moving blunt mouth and increase the rate at which you chew.

"... don't tell me. I said,"

Even if this doesn't have a blocked mouth, there's no word to give it back.

I think I rubbed my mind a lot.

Apples, I think, were pulling my cheeks, making unfamiliar jokes, and all sorts of distressing things to get me back on track.

Yet in the end, I rushed to my butcher opponent to be impotent and could have died without the apple lying around.

You couldn't have said anything to me right now.

"... there we are," he said.

Nor did I hear this word, as if I were listening.

Bad guess, I finally realized what this word meant.

At the time, I only received this encouragement of apples like, "Hold on because this is the time," or, "Come on because we're still here," like that.

But what Apple wanted to tell you was much simpler.

"If it's hard, I want you to rely more on us," Ringo said.

"... sorry"

So I finally drank down the seeds left in my mouth and I vomited an honest apology.

The creaking voice must have entered the ear of the apple as well.

However,

"... no. I won't loose it."

Apple kicks my best apology.

As if to blame, there is force in the hands of the apple that was turned behind my head.

I can't move, I'm going to suffocate with my apple chest.

"... why?

And a quiet voice asks.

"... why are you so, so nasty?

"It's..."

I'm telling the truth.

That, for very selfish reasons, is what I decided to do without telling anyone.

But I couldn't keep my mouth shut about the apples that break my heart so much for me.

"Ena, but..."

As soon as I started talking like that, the apple's body shivered to fright.

I don't know if you reacted to the name Ena or what I told you.

I don't know, keep going.

"You don't want me to think like that that when Ena went back to normal, she had a victim because of herself"

Ena won't be aware of anything right now, but it's not something she can hide the truth through forever.

If we defeat the Demon King well enough, Ena will feel responsible if she finds out someone is dead because of herself.

That's obvious even if you look at the reaction to players who have died on their trains.

"Even he's been struggling.

I hope I don't have to burden you any more.

… that's all. "

It's selfish talk, but this was my undiminished heart.

After all, they're not strong enough for my sense of justice to hang my life for someone invisible.

I will curse the Demon King for Ena and defeat the Demon King without letting anyone die for Ena.

That's what I decided.

"... apples?

I made myself as honest as I could.

But to the words, the apple answered nothing.

Just still.

You don't have to say anything, I can see the apple breathing.

I can see you breathing heavily and trying to swallow something big and heavy.

"Whoa!"

So, the effect of "The Incarnation of Anger" is completely over.

With my physical freedom, I'm out of my apple chest.

"......"

My body went away and Apple's hand moved to chase my head only for a moment, but soon,

"... no"

When the apple left me, I turned around.

I don't know, but you probably don't want me to see your face right now.

In that gap, I will also open my face with my hands and cool off the reddened cheeks.

I think once again, the drop from the agile one hundredth is intense.

My body moves fast like a joke.

No, it was more unusual until just now, but I felt it that way.

"... this"

It wasn't that long before the apple turned around.

When I turned around, the apple's face was already faceless, and the potion was held in its hand.

"Oh well."

Speaking of which, I completely forgot to restore my HP after defeating Butcher.

I still have some rings for light attribute specialization on, so I can also recover with Bloody Stub, but because of this, I will take it.

Potions for recovery so that the bitter aftertaste of the seeds can be poured into the back of the throat.

"Thank you, apple. I knew I couldn't do it without an apple."

That's how I joked, but I told her what I thought that wasn't all jokes.

But the apple,

"... that's not true"

Instead, I relaxed and gave it back to him like that in a pompous way.

The face I lay low also appears to be riddled with sorrow and remorse.

Well, it's a reaction I don't understand.

It's just...

(Apples today are emotional, that's rap)

Look at that. I remember something kind of emotional.

Compared to when we first met, apples began to look different.

That's probably a change to be called 'growth'.

"... soma"

Apple looked up with a resolute look, as if to back up my view like that.

"… in Soma, only, there is"

"Please?"

I should have known about the apple growth, but I was a little surprised by the word.

Rarely as an apple did I often show a passive attitude other than about me, no, maybe it was every first favor.

But it was too early to be surprised.

"... please, I will"

So maybe, for the first time, the apple,

"… tell me your skills"

Towards me, I bowed my head.

After a sudden state of self-loss for a while, I finally realized that the apple looked anxiously at me.

I have to respond to something.

I finally thought of that fact, but what do you think?

Even if apples can't use their skills, they can use a ranged attack called 'Thunder Strike'.

Because of its very user-friendliness, they don't have much chance of getting other roles in the fight.

Of course there will be no harm in remembering, but there is not much inevitability of being able to use skills and magic.

Besides, skills, especially single-shot skills, leave a convenient opposite large gap.

That's what I just experienced.

As far as I'm concerned, Apple would also be more thankful for the support behind it, as it has always been.

I can also draw attention to turning down every first request for apples, but for now, try to persuade me to open my mouth.

"Even if I don't bother remembering that, it's enough as it is now..."

"No...! Not as it is now."

I'm pushed by the unexpected strength of Apple's narrative.

"... because even today, it wasn't right"

"Ah..."

To that word, I knew how the apple suddenly started saying this.

Earlier, when I was fighting Butcher.

Does Ringo care that he didn't let me in to help him that he couldn't rush to me?

(No, that's not all...)

Even when I found out I was losing to Maki at a rate in an underwater city more than a while ago, I figured it was a little, just a little bit, but things seemed strange.

Perhaps, ever since then, the apple has been troubled, thinking?

That's just like me feeling powerless before I fight the Demon King.

(Speaking of which...)

When I was about to get hit by Butcher, Apple threw a sidebar.

I was wondering why I didn't use the 'Vajra Thoroughness' above neither power nor speed, but maybe I was wrong about that idea.

"Konjutsu" is an equipment skill.

A skill that anyone can use if they have the corresponding gear.

However, there is a proviso that if you know how to use something called 'skill'.

Until he met me, Apple didn't know 'skill' or 'magic'.

Everyone in this world doesn't know how to use the technique "skill".

(Didn't use it, didn't use it, couldn't use it)

In retrospect, it wasn't the apples that mainly used "Vajra Toru".

I couldn't get my head around that much because I was thinking on the assumption that everyone in this world could use their skills unconsciously.

(Wait, are you...?

So I came up with another fact.

Apples don't know how to use their skills.

Because of the bug that was born because Maki came to this world, because the inhabitants of this world have no knowledge or experience of the skills that nature should know.

But doesn't that mean that if you return the back, you can learn how to use your skills from scratch without extra preliminary knowledge?

(Ena was too good at using her skills so far.

But maybe it's an apple...)

If you're an apple, you might remember.

Me and Maki, maybe Apple has the only possibility of using their skills by 'order' by looking at the two people from the other world.

"... soma"

Did you find out I was lost?

The apple goes one step closer to me.

And

"... I will do anything for Soma, because"

Apples mouth that word, which is exactly the same as before, but weighs incomparably,

"So... for that, then..."

With a blushing, trembling voice, he closed his eyes all the time so that he could desperately indulge in the terror, and still Apple said.

"- Wow, I don't want to do that!

Ready for that, I couldn't say anything for a while.

But as the meaning of the word got stained in my chest, I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

Slowly, like choosing words, I open my mouth.

"Thank you. But for one thing, let me tell you something."

Apple's determination, I'm glad.

But that's why I couldn't leave you saying words like that now.

Hey, apple......

- Skill cancellation isn't a human move, is it?
