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

Chapter 169: The City of Mamoru

"Ha. Damn, you..."

I should have talked to this guy about targeting an underground Nekranomicon, too, but I totally forgot about it while I was fishing for the book, and I thought I'd been left behind, and Suthern seemed to be roaming the library crying.

...... too annoying.

This happens because you prioritize your desires and go looking for books to the habits that you were a good addition to when you ate.

When I was frightened, Suthern, who had recovered in the meantime, found Mr. Sailier and raised his voice.

"Ah, you! You're an official here! I have something to say to you!!

"... what is it?

At that time, my Sailier's mood sensor, which had become more sensitive because of the repeated crises, sounded an alarm.

It's not on your face, but this is a reaction when you're serious and angry.

I detected a premonition of a big explosion, and I was only a moment confused as to whether to take Mr. Saelier or stop Suthern, and as a result,

…………

I decided to shut up and expect Susan to blow herself up.

It's just enough to set up a little moxibustion for this guy who can do whatever he wants.

Besides, it's a great calculation that if a spearhead of anger were pointed at Suthern here, the pursuit might not go away on me about the dragon.

"This is it, this!

But things change in unexpected directions.

It was the first time Mr. Saelier's expression was clouded when he saw something protruding by Suthern along with his dissatisfied voice.

What Angry Southern had in his hands was a small tablet about the size of a notebook.

There are glowing letters inscribed with old brushstrokes.

"I was looking forward to it because it says it's a valuable video record of the brave men who sealed the evil gods, and nothing happens when you touch it!

That said, the tablet that Suthern wielded would be an exhibit that says' Evil God War Video Record 'decorated in the exhibition room.

Its familiar stone slabs include:

"Eventually, I will set this record for the brave, qualified visitor.

If you want to take over the will of your hero Alex and take on evil gods,

Follow the trajectories of the ancient braves and see their fate.

> > First story '

It says:

When did you bring the exhibit?

The skilled 'cat, ear, cat' players in the country (whose total number is in the thousands and hundreds, well there are at least fifty of them, they say) do flat out what they couldn't do.

... Well, it's probably a specification change that comes with realisation.

The game didn't allow that tablet to interfere with the same topography as the walls and ceilings, but apparently it's free to carry in this world.

But what does it mean that nothing happens?

If I touched the link "First Story" that says at the end of the tablet, that should have been the only way the video would have started on its own......

"I'm sorry. It's for viewing, so you can't actually see the record."

Mr. Saelier bows his head so as to further deepen that question.

It wasn't supposed to be a bad flow as far as I'm concerned, but I stuck my mouth out.

"Wait a minute! That, doesn't it work just by touching the 'first story' part there?

Even I have used that tablet several times.

So I figured for sure, Mr. Saelier shook his head.

"No, I tried too, but nothing happened"

"That shouldn't be..."

Has there been any specification change?

When I snap my neck again,

"Well, let me try."

A small hand reached out from across and took the tablet from Southern's hand.

"Maki? How..."

As the surprise gaze concentrated, Maki, who took the tablet from Southern,

"This kind of thing. Don't make a mess, you just have to try it first."

Raise the tablet high and speak proudly.

"Oh, no, wait..."

Now that I understand Maki's next move, I try to put a stop to it, but I can't make it.

"Start the first story! Oh, my God."

Brave Mahiko shouts echo the library,

"... uuuu"

A moment later, Maki was sitting on the spot, rounded up to hold his body.

Everyone, as they blink their eyes without knowing what happened, some frightened look of Maki gives them a face.

"... also, did you come back?

That Maki twinkled so with a trembling voice, and when he found me, he jumped at me.

"Soma! Here, here we go!

I take that body, thinking today is a good day to be jumped.

"So don't mess around without thinking. You always say"

"Ugh!

Maki voiced her dissatisfaction in my chest, but she didn't argue with me as to whether she was aware that she deserved it.

My buddies watched me far-fetched slapping Mayuki on the shoulder, but eventually Mr. Saelier came forward on his behalf.

"What happened? In that moment, if this is quite dangerous for her to be so frightened..."

"Oh, no. For a moment, but not for Maki."

"Yes?"

I'm still crying. I answered with a good answer to Maki.

"- Maki saw an hour of carnage just now."

Simply put, this' Evil God War Record Footage 'is an item that, when used, is called Evil God War and is seen traveling until the brave men of the past seal the Evil God.

Some of that footage was also used to promote the game before it was released, and that's why it's pretty powerful.

One missing volume in the in-game movie called One Hour.

Powerful camera work for higher graphics quality than this edition.

Brave music that you will never forget once you hear it, that you hired a famous composer to make it.

This overwhelming potential showed a harmony of miracles, all of which came to fruition in a negative direction as if they had been set up into something.

This work, according to the official announcement, seems to be all fifteen stories, but the first story that begins unfolds the promised story that the village of the brave will be attacked by monsters and wiped out.

In other words, the worst case scenario is that the families and friends of the brave men who made them emotional at the beginning of the story will be killed, sent to you by means of high-quality graphics, more powerful camera work than this edition, with one out of the head volume of an hour.

There is also a problem with the rating once and for all, and depictions of blood and such are discouraged, but this is already totally harassment and no longer torture.

Moreover, this is the same as the staff roll and no interrupt mechanism is available, and once you start looking at it, there is no other way to stop it than to manipulate the generic menu and stop the game itself.

In this world where the menu screen cannot be opened, it is virtually unstoppable.

Also, you thought you shouldn't get in the way of a famous composer's song, the voices of the characters aren't set, a state like a silent movie that was popular a long time ago.

Even more famous composer Gala was higher than expected, the song is only available one song, so both the soggy and honky scenes are God's performances that will always keep the atmosphere uplifted with brave songs.

This level of mental contamination is quite significant because of the uninterrupted loop of an impactful song that you will never forget once you hear it.

Then for a few days, I can't get that song out of my head, and when I get distracted, I'm unconsciously mumbling.

Finally, besides that, this video also has the flaw that "other than sight and hearing are not followed".

Normally, a video of a VR lets you share all of your physical senses with the characters, or if not, the senses you don't need are usually shut out.

However, I took an unexplained way of knowing what I thought in this' cat ear cat ', only overwriting sight and hearing while maintaining the sensory state in play.

Without reason and sensibly speaking, it becomes like "leaving your body in the library, flying only to the battlefield of the past with your eyes and ears".

Even though my feet are on the ground, my point of view is in the sky, and this creates considerable confusion, I can close my eyes and block my ears, but I can't cut visual and auditory information with it.

Semi-forced eye to eye a powerful depressive video, ear to ear a high volume infinite loop song, otherwise an hour of information that has absolutely nothing to do with sight or hearing, which is what kind of brainwashing program this is.

It's an issue that seems to develop into a collection noise if it's bad in normal games, but I guess it's sad, to that extent for the 'cat ear cat' player who got here so far, it was no longer even a surprise rather than already moving.

"Uh-huh. Yes, we all disappear all of a sudden, we're in a place we don't know why, and I thought about what to do. Yikes!

But it would have been a surprising experience for Maki, who is not used to 'cat ear cat'.

I'll gently slap Maki on the back like I used to when I was in Japan and calm him down.

"Hey, I'm not convinced to go! How can it be used by Maki and not by me, this genius magician!

Then again, for unexpected reasons, Suthern began to turn excitedly, but for once I can't imagine why.

"Maybe this' brave qualities' thing is about the players"

Naturally, I don't have the ability to watch videos to NPCs in the game.

Well, the only thing a player could do in a game can be done by humans in this world, so I can't say anything about it, but it's not surprising that this tablet was reserved for players.

Maki doesn't seem to remember "The Incarnation of Anger," nor did he seem to react to the final form of the Demon King, so it was subtle to treat him as a player, but if this can't be moved by people in this world, you can assume he has some kind of privilege.

"The rest of this, if I could use it, would be definitive..."

Unfortunately, this slab has charge time to reuse and cannot be continuously regenerated.

In the evidence, there is a link to the first story and a new link to the second story at the end of the tablet, but there is no light lit there.

Sure, I'll be able to use it again in 24 hours, but nothing should happen if I touch it until then.

By the way, one story was a huge volume of an hour, but did you use up your power and budget with that, and the second story only plays thirteen minutes.

Furthermore, the third story has only six minutes, and has not yet been created since the four stories.

I can actually say that the "cat ear cat" seems to be in a dragon snake tail condition.

"... I can't help it. Will you come back here tomorrow?"

When I say with giving up, Mr. Saelier has made an unexpected suggestion.

"No, then you can take the tablet."

"Huh? Is that okay?

"Yes, it doesn't seem to work for normal people, and if you say that that submerged prince needs it, no one complains.

And most importantly... I don't want to leave this dangerous thing in the library. "

I look at Maki only at the end and say.

...... yeah.

I feel somewhat troubled, but I'm sure it's a suggestion I don't even wish for.

When I put the tablet in my bag, Suthern slipped over.

"Hey, soma! If you can see the rest, tell me the story, too!

I felt like I was here.

Even if you can't see it in person, you can listen.

That would be right.

"But you, are you interested in something like this?

Southern only has the image of a magical fool, but do you like brave men or something?

When I asked, the masked asshole magician bragged his chest out.

"Huh! You didn't know that? The purpose of my journey is to crusade the evil gods!

The goal for now is to find and defeat the right demon shards and make the people in the house recognize my power. "

"Heh. Did you"

Or I'm surprised that Southern had something like a decent goal.

"But there were times when you defeated demon kings and shards of sacrificial altars.

So you can't do that?

"You bet! Neither demon king nor evil god shard fought properly!

Well, well.

It's a little harsh to say whether you can recognize your strength by sinking it in water or putting yellow slime on it.

"That's why I'm looking into the Evil War to get information on the Evil God."

"Hmm."

"What the fuck! You're unresponsive!

Southern gets angry, but unfortunately I'm not very interested in that.

I gathered all the information on Cat Ear Cat, but clearly, I was oblivious to the fact that it was a worldview setting.

"Cat Ear Cat Wiki" had some of those specialist discussion pages and it was quite busy, because my playing stance was that I'd rather raise one or more levels than know something like that.

But 'Cat Ear Cat' isn't just a piece of shit, it's a piece of shit with specs and potential.

In short, it's a piece made with attention, and all that attention is so negative, but that's why there's some glowing stuff.

The same goes for a wealth of skills and special magic systems compared to other masterpiece games, other than that, the world settings can be surprisingly elaborate, or the stories and events can incorporate a surprising amount of sophistication.

... but it is also true that there is no good communication of will between staff and the setup is eventually full of inconsistencies, that despite the huge amount of voltage, we have not recovered it, and that the excellent part is always written off.

"Damn, I can't help it. Look, I'm still lending you this, so study!

That's what Suthern took out of the inside of his cape was a children's book called "The Jason War - The King of Heroes".

This guy, why is he putting this stuff in his cape?

I'd rather have my penetrating glove back than this, but I turn the page with paralysis as I flaunt my face in a book muddy to my human skin.

There were all sorts of things that I didn't remember clearly either.

That Alex the Brave survived God's trials to obtain the Divine Sword Altihat and seal the Evil God.

That the Evil God was divided into four shards with the main body and sealed in all parts of the country.

That Alex had five companions, but their names have barely even been revealed since then.

That Alex, who sealed the Evil God, made his country in the land and became the first king.

That the great and noble spirit of it was honored and that a religion was born to bear Alex as a saint.

And when I saw the painting of Richter, the king's capital, flourishing in the presence of King Alex, I stopped my hand from turning the page.

"Is that it? This shape, like I've seen somewhere recently..."

As I looked at the overall view of the King's capital at the time, Shinji peered in a little from the side.

"Hmm? Oh, this is the shape of the king's capital now!

It looks just like the map at the entrance to the Wang capital!

It was supposed to be a city a long time ago, but wow!

"I think it's amazing how fast you get back on your feet."

And so on, but Mayuki's distance is closer than usual.

Outreach Maybe the shock just now is pulling its tail.

"... hmm?

If I try to turn my eyes back on Wang Du's painting again, I will now have a mild impact on the opposite arm.

When I saw it, Ena was bringing a trick to my shoulder and a head.

When I looked at you, Ena took her head off me and laughed.

"Uh... well, I countered it, too. Oh, my God."

I don't know what that means.

Ena also suggests as she waves patsy about whether she was in a hurry for her quirks.

"That's better than that! Why don't you get up there first?

I got a little tired because I had a lot going on in a short time.

I'd like to sit in a chair and rest for now, I can't believe... "

"Right..."

I'm still a little concerned, but I can read books anywhere.

You should get out of the basement and calm down and talk about the future, etc.

As we walked out toward the stairs, Leila came with her face down.

"Soma, I'll give this back."

And stick a Necranomicon out at me.

Apparently, it means take it.

"Are you sure?

I thought I was a lot obsessed with this book, but to my words, Leila nodded with the kind of smile I couldn't help but make.

"Ugh, yeah. Hey, it's sad, but, but if my endurance annoys Soma, it's because I don't like it any more.

So that's what Soma wants you to have. "

"Oh well..."

I don't have to think I exaggerate in one book, but when I'm seen with the kind of eyes I see my son being sold, I get guilty of bouldering.

"Uh, well, I'll give Leila something next time."

"Ugh, ugh! Then I'll take care of it for the rest of my life!

The fate of the gift I haven't even bought yet has already been decided.

I manage not to catch my face and return the words.

"Ah, oh. I'm glad you did."

"Good! When Soma is happy, I'm happy too!

"... yes. That's good."

We left the basement as we had a heavy conversation.

Returning to its original location, it was in no condition there.

It's flooded with people lying on the table or keeping their bodies behind their chairs and sleeping.

The only survivor was still that monk woman, and she was the only one who kept working unconsciously as everyone slept.

Did the work come to a paragraph, okay, she just guts posing.

Next to it was a tower of books made by cleverly stacking thick books vertically.

... What is this guy really doing?

"- Ha!?

When she realizes that she is being watched, she manages her attitude in advance, looks at the book tower and puts her neck in a difficult way, but what troubling elements are there?

And the book tower was out of balance, whether it was because of a distraction, and the monk-style woman became the underside of a collapsed book.

When I unwittingly loosened my cheeks to that sight,

"- What is this?"

Behind me, a flashing voice leaked out of Mr. Saelier's mouth as he caught up.

(That's not good...)

If you love the library more than anyone else, Mr. Saelier, you can't possibly think nothing of this full of users.

You should be seeing this sight once when you came to get me, but it was a bummer then, and the person was up and out of sight around.

I saw this misery once again, and now it's about to explode or something?

"As it is, well, good cheerfulness, and you don't have to blink at a bit of sleep..."

"This is it! Does this look a bit like it to you?!

I inadvertently shrug myself to Mr. Saelier's anger.

For a moment I wondered if Mr. Saelier was angry enough to shout out.

However,

"What the hell is going on in my library?

This, this, this is crazy... "

She was frightened.

I was terrified by the sight that was spreading in front of me.

Inspired by her attitude, I look around again.

Again, see the view in a sarcastic mood.

Then, naturally, my throat rang.

... right.

Why, I didn't wonder.

Nearly all of the dozen users who are here, just to be seen, are asleep.

- Is that really possible?

"The admission fee for this library is not cheap.

So only someone with a proper purpose, and yet this... "

The twitching and anxiety spreads to the words Mr. Saelier spills.

2000E admission fee.

Would there ever be a person who paid such a lot of money spending time at the same time and for no reason like this?

And yes.

When you first saw this sight, what did Mitsuki say?

"When we first got here, I think we were all a little tighter, but the time slot is the time slot."

We just didn't notice, the anomalies are a little bit...

"Soma. Could be a little rough, maybe."

"Maki?"

The voice of Maki whispering my thoughts.

I give a face to the urgent sound of being rubbed there.

Maki approached the table and said with a crying face, keeping his hand on the shoulder of the man who stuck up there.

"- What, so. This guy won't wake up at all, will he?

A chill rushes through my back.

No way, I rush over to the nearby table and call on the fallen.

"Excuse me, please wake up! Wake up!!

I shake that body roughly out of anxiety, but I'm not responding.

"Ah!"

He misapplied too much force in a hurry and pulled the person down to the ground by chair.

But still, the person stays asleep.

I don't even react with Pickle.

"What the hell, this..."

After what happened here, I finally convinced myself that this was an anomaly.

And the scariest part is that the game didn't have this kind of event in the library.

No, I've never experienced a mass coma case, not just a library.

Totally, unknown phenomenon.

"I need help, I need to call help!

This library was attacked by something… "

"Mr. Saelier!

Running over to Mr. Sailier, who fluttered with screams, supporting his body in the meantime.

"I can't do it even though I don't have enough sleep, or..."

Words you say freeze along the way.

The worst anticipation turns my head when I look up at Mr. Saelier looking up at this one with a hazy eye.

Mr. Saelier's, last and present anomalies.

Was that really, like, a common lack of sleep?

"... No way"

What flashed at that moment was a possibility that could only be described as delusional.

But once I started to doubt it, when I started to think about it, it was right from there to decimation.

Many of the things I've seen and heard in the last few days, words I hadn't even cared about, flood out in unison now.

The information swirls in my head and runs around.

The sights I've ever seen, the words I've heard, they come together in meaningless corners of my head, creating a single shape.

- Mr. Saelier's unwell. Cathedral rumors. Mage Guild.

- The words of Suthern. Magic Formation. The two of us were safe.

- Escape with Ena. Light from heaven. Mithril theft.

- And it hasn't changed for a long time, the streets of Wang Du.

What if all of them, all of them, had something to do with it?

"... make sure, we have to"

I think it's absurd.

But to confirm that......

- Outside.

When I stand up with Mr. Sailier in my arms,

"Layla, please"

"Huh? Ah, soma!?

I deposited Mr. Sailier neat with Leila and ran out without hesitation.

"Mr. Soma! Wait, wait!

I can hear Ena from behind, but I don't mind running.

Sewing between Pickle and people who can't even move, at the entrance to the library.

Fly out of the library through the side of an official who fell into the counter.

"- Huh!"

Outside I narrowed my eyes slightly to the quiet opposite of the anomaly and confusion in the library.

No, this tranquility is the anomaly.

This is the time.

Though outside the city, there should be a lot of buzz.

"What the hell are you saying!?

I ask Mitsuki, who has caught up to me, without looking back.

"Mitsuki. When you went to the shrine today, did you miss someone?

"Huh?... No, speaking of which"

It was nearby, and I didn't even care because I was in a hurry.

There was only one person we ran into before we went to the shrine.

Apple intervened, it was falling on the street (...) just the old lady.

"... I'm an idiot"

Maybe right after we defeated the Demon King, no, I'm sure it was a long time ago, and this (...) started a little bit.

The tip was too much.

No matter who else didn't notice, I had to, I had to.

No, not yet!

If you fail, you can take it back from here!

"Guys, from now on -"

When I look back and try to give instructions, I have a mild impact on my arm.

When I saw it, Ena was bringing a trick to my shoulder and a head.

Unexpectedly leaks a bitter laugh.

"Ena. At a time like this, I'm just kidding..."

As I say, I reach for Ena.

But Ena's body slipped as if slipping through my hand,

"... Huh?

I made a blunt noise and rolled to the ground.

Keep it up, it doesn't even work with Pickle.

"E, na?

A faint voice leaks out of my mouth.

- But the word was never answered by a chestnut-haired girl.
