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

Chapter 128: Calling Its Name

"- Maybe you drowned earlier, Demon King?

My breath stopped between the bundles at the words of Maki, who had not clapped too much.

For a moment a string called 'The Tragedy of Poseidal' came up in my brain, but soon I shook my head to the side.

No, there's no way the Demon King can die like such a gag comic book, no matter how much.

"No way, that's not true of boulders.

First of all, if the Demon King is dead, you can break the curse by now... "

Yeah, that was when I was about to say it.

Suddenly a familiar voice pops in so that it resonates directly behind my ear.

"The last time I could marry Mr. Soma, I - I said, duh, where are you!!

"Huh?! Ena!?"

I was screaming unexpectedly at Ena's voice, which was supposed to have solidified in the cat ear mansion.

To me like that, Ena speaks out in a chopped voice,

"Is that you, Mr. Soma!? Heh, it's weird!!

Me, I should have been on a tree earlier, but all of a sudden I was in a room like a mansion...

And this, jillilli 'sound...... hiccup!

Wall! There's a red bill on the wall! Keep coming, keep coming closer...

Shh, shh!! There's a woman in the box!!

Ah, ah... Now lots and lots of puppets from the outside!!

Hey, what is it!? What is it, this!!

Help me, please! Help me, something- '

So, communication from Ena was interrupted.

(... Shit. I forgot to be careful not to leave Ena alone with the guys at the mansion)

More cold sweat erupts.

The same goes for Ena, who's having a horror experience by now, but most importantly, it hurts my peers' gaze at me.

"Uh..."

The voice of the communication ring does not reach anyone else.

I'm supposed to be the only one who heard Ena's voice, but because I called Ena's name on the way in, my people would already have missed that she was the one in the correspondence.

Everyone looks at me like they want an explanation.

I couldn't stand the pressure, and I had no choice but to stick my fist up, I said.

"... OK, Operation Success!!

On the volcano, a blizzard of cold gaze blew away.

- "The tragedy of Poseidal".

There was once a case in "Cat Ear Cat," which was later to be called that way, something that could not be called a case.

The stage is the undersea city we visited to pick up the water dragon ring.

Even though there was certainly information about this undersea city that "there is a boss monster to protect the treasure trove," reports that players were actually unattended in front of the treasure trove sent to the 'Cat Ear Cat' related online bulletin board.

On the contrary, when I solicited information about this boss, there was not a single player who met the boss of the undersea city at that point.

...... obvious bug.

But if that's all, it could be that I forgot to set up a boss monster, or I just misplaced information about the undersea city.

However, this was greatly discussed due to the fact that in front of that treasure trove, just in the large hall where the boss battle was likely to take place, magic seeds were always dropped only for the first time.

Unique bosses that only come out once always drop one of the Power Magic Defense Mindseeds, depending on the type of boss they are.

Conversely, these seed-based items are rarely otherwise available.

From this, it was inferred that the 'Cat Ear Cat' players have boss monsters in the undersea city, but are dead before the players arrive for some reason.

Of course it's about the exploratory 'cat ear cats' players for nothing.

They naturally expressed interest in this mystery and moved to not figure out why.

However, no matter how quickly I found the undersea city and how quickly I headed to the treasure trove, I couldn't run into a boss monster there.

More than I can confirm, rumors are nothing but rumors.

The story of the boss monster in the undersea city weathered with time, but then the truth was revealed by the hit of a new patch.

after hitting the ver1.03 patch, a boss monster named Poseidal appeared in the undersea city, and it turns out that the boss drops his magic seed.

In a sense, the 'cat ear cat' players, more sticky and persistent than the 'cat ear cat' staff, moved to identify the cause, and found that sentence from the updates that were on the patch.

· Fixed an issue where aquatic attributes were not correctly applied to some bosses

The aquatic attribute means underwater aptitude, and he says it wasn't applied correctly or something, but the point is a confession that he "forgot to apply underwater aptitude to the boss," the 'cat ear cat' player decided.

Characters and monsters without underwater aptitude suffer reduced speeds in the water and proportional damage to their maximum HP every certain amount of time.

This "proportional damage to max HP" is miso, and before this penalty it doesn't matter if you have more or less max HP.

It turns out that Poseidal, the boss monster who should be proud of his enormous HP, was also dead from this ongoing damage because he forgot to set his aquatic attributes.

And this is what makes me uncomfortable.

It's an element I've missed in setting up an operation, and it's also the cause of this demon king's death.

The Demon King is completely resistant, so sinking into the water couldn't possibly take damage, but that was an early point.

It is often misconstrued that a guy named Aquatic Attributes is completely different from all kinds of attribute resistance, state anomaly resistance.

In fact, Poseidal, who died without an aquatic attribute, was completely resistant to the water attribute.

I had also somehow stopped thinking, thinking, "You have about the aquatic attribute because you say it's completely resistant," but that didn't seem to happen at all.

In the first place, the very method of warfare of "sinking Demon King's Castle into water" was made possible because this world has become a reality, and naturally, in the game, it is unlikely that the Demon King will sink into the water.

It's also a strange story to think about normally and to make a monster fit in the water that isn't even supposed to go underwater.

Blaming this for being a bug would be cruel to boulders.

And I still find it hard to believe that the Demon King drowned even when I reason so far, but unfortunately thinking so explains the various anomalies that just happened.

First of all, the chills I felt when I tried to get into Demon King's Castle.

I can imagine that was because of the Demon King's 'genuine mode', activated by the Demon King's HP cutting 10%.

It took a long time to store water in that large volcano on the boulder.

Water should have been in between Demon Kings before Demon Kings Castle sank completely, and perhaps Demon Kings' HP was considerably reduced by the time Demon Kings Castle sank.

And the Demon King goes to 'serious mode' when his HP drops below 10%, changing his attack pattern.

Even the game had a strong unpleasant feeling at that moment, but I guess that was an event performance by the game system side, not something that my inquisition sensed.

Assuming that ominous hunch is a sign that the Demon King is in 'serious mode', the Demon King is already a bug breath at that point.

It has nothing to do with the percentage damage caused by water, no matter how much more offensive or defensive it is, so I can imagine that the Demon King died right after that.

Doing so also shows why the pillar of light rose just a little time from the chills.

When the Demon King died in the game, he was emitting intense light as a death effect.

It was too close at that time to look directly, but maybe that's the pillar of light we witnessed today.

Normally, when he defeated the Demon King, he would be invisible because he was inside the Demon King's Castle, but the light of the Demon King's Death Effect would go through the Demon King's Castle and rise to heaven, erasing the clouds, symbols of the Demon King's power.

... It sounds good to say that I'm sticking to the unseen, but I wish they would get rid of even one bug if they had time to elaborate on that kind of waste.

Well, I guess that's why they say 'cat ear cat' quality.

In the end, the staff roll didn't flow, and there are parts of the knockout that don't somehow fall into the heart just the way we knock it down, but there's no doubt that we knocked down the Demon King with our activism anyway.

Something had to be done, like collecting items from Demon King and Demon King's Castle, but we decided to turn it around the next time and we decided to head back to the city.

Mitsuki with the metastatic stone leads one foot forward for a report to the King, and I follow the path of relaxing with the rest of the members.

On the way home, some strange emotion came in.

"When I finished, it was kind of a short while..."

I don't care who you tell, it snaps like that.

"Right. It's like yesterday that I left the Mansion saying I'm going to defeat the Demon King."

When Smudge and Maki answer,

"... because I'm not stuck."

Somehow Suthern, who looked tired, said so and turned away,

"... ahhh"

Saying something completely irrelevant while the apple looked at Kuma's back, Kuma ran away with a bummer.

I don't think I was breathing fighting the Demon King until just now, our loose exchange as usual.

I'm so happy from the bottom of my heart that I can stay like this.

(But...)

Just a little more, if you say greed.

Here's Mitsuki, and then the other...

"... soma"

The apple softly aroused me when I was about to flirt with things.

When I look up, I can already see the North Gate of Wang Du behind my sight.

... No, that's not all.

There are two (...), shadows, in front of that great gate.

One, my well-known, cat-eared girl.

And the other one......

"... ena"

All this time, the person I've been waiting for to see again stood there.

But as soon as I see it, my leg suddenly stops.

You're the person you were supposed to miss the most, but you're about to get emotional and you don't know what to do.

But someone pushed my back like that.

"... Go on, give it to him"

An apple's little hand was pushing my back so hard.

Turning around, I don't see the look of a nagging apple.

"... Quickly"

Still, as the words rush me, I step out again.

At the same time, behind my sight, I saw a little girl pushing her back by a cat-eared girl and walking out toward me with a snack.

Gradually, I can see Ena's face clearly.

Little by little, little by little, the distance between them shrinks.

I couldn't wait for that moment, and the foot I was supposed to be walking on had turned into a quick foot at some point, and a quick run.

"Mr. Soma!

Take Ena's body jumping in.

I hugged Ena so hard I cried in my chest that I said what I always wanted to say.

- Welcome back, Ena.

Thus, the story of me and the Demon King closed.

Just for once, there's just a few things I need to talk about later on in this story.

- Demon King, drown!!

This ancient and unparalleled shocking news ran through the city overnight, no, the world.

The next day, it was the applause and cheer of all the cracks and a tight half laugh of the people throughout the king's capital who welcomed us summoned by the king.

People praised us, the saviors who fought for the Demon King, especially when I was once famous for saving the city from demonic raids, being awarded a medal by the royal family and being cordial with the princess, and became a true hero for this time fought for the Demon King with a stunning water meter.

People called me that with deep gratitude and awe.

- The hero of the Redemption, "The Submerged Prince Soma" and.
