Garrosa clenched her fist and looked at the people in the village without confusion.Whoever looks at him now must be the head of this village.

"Yes, let's go!" You can build a village even if it's not here! ”

Right… we'll just take what we need!

"People who can't move are supported by people who can move!"

Once they decided to go, they acted quickly.

Everyone has the experience of risking their lives to escape something, so if you do it, you'll have strong kids.Even though I'm here to help, I feel comfortable.

"Hurry up and get ready!We'll leave the village in a few minutes! "

»» »Yes!» »

On Garrosa's orders, everyone moves together.

“We'll keep an eye on the area.I'll be back when I'm ready. ”

"Okay, um... thank you very much."

Garrosa bowed her head again.

"Thanks to everyone who made it out of here safely."First of all, think only of running away. "

Yes!

Garrosa responds loudly to me and Pilte. You seem to be motivated enough.

Pilte and I will leave the village once to ensure the safety of our surroundings first.

"Mother."

As soon as Pilte left the village, he called out.

What's the matter?

"It's from here, but I think it's better to set up a trap around the village.If someone tries to break into the village and triggers a trap, you can find out where the enemy is if it's so flashy that you can see them from a distance. "

"That's right... that's an interesting idea."Let's do it.

If it had lethal power and was flashy, it would still be explosive.I think it would be better to use the explosive item that Cynthia gave me.Choose a place where the fire won't burn around you. ”

“Okay, we're going to blow up with a shock, so do you want a simple trap and a number?”

"Yes... even if a battle occurs, if you're not familiar with it, it might be dangerous. Cynthia said," Let's make it as much as we can as a trap. "

Yes!

Pilate has really changed. This is how I started to be honest about my opinions after meeting Nil properly.

Now I think it may have been the beginning of what you insisted on talking to me about when you first met Cynthia and the others.I feel a little lonely, but the joy is much greater.

I'm going to install it more and more.

Me and Pilte made a simple trap around the village as time allowed.

"It's about time. Let's go, Pilate."

"Yes, Mother!"

I've had quite a few traps set up, but they're simple and I don't know if they'll catch me well.Don't expect too much.

"Garrosa, are you ready?"

“Yes, I'm just getting ready.You can leave anytime soon. ”

"Then let's get out of here." I've set up a trap on the east side of the village, so be careful not to get in there. ”

"I see. So... which way do you want to go?"

"I think so... north or south, but... I don't know which way to go, so let's go west first."

To the west…?

"I know that if we head west, it'll be a pocket lane."But I don't know whether to go north or south, and I want to avoid being biased towards either.When the signal arrives, I can decide which way to go, and then I'll move north or south. ”

"Is that so... I see."Let's head west first. ”

Focusing on Garrosa, the villagers first headed west.

I don't know if this is the right answer, but if I have to move without finding it, I want to stay away from the enemy as long as I can.The more distance we have from each other, the better.

After losing two of my subordinates, my choices in important situations are always filled with anxiety.I wonder if this is really good.Still, you have to make a decision.At the very least, we must strive to say later that this judgment was not a mistake.

"Piltee, please look behind you." I'll take the lead, and Garrosa will take care of everyone. "

Yes!

Got it!

I will never... I will never let anyone die again under my orders.

With your heart, you swear to it and step out.

We began to move slowly westward.



At that time, Sura Tan.....

"Huh... it's hard to move around in the woods after all..."

Since Sinya asked me to help her escape the villagers, I've been searching around the village alone.

Hands who confronted Ponatala with Shinya.If they were involved in this raid and headed for the village first, it could end before the main force arrives.For this reason, we conducted a survey quite carefully.

Not only the hand, but also the presence of the player.I and Shinya-kun have the power to be different in this world.I'm not the top player.

It's not surprising that someone like that was there.If there were such an opponent, things would be very troublesome.

Sinya left me to the villagers.Maybe that's because I don't want people in the other world to kill me.

Shinya is kind. [M]

It doesn't always happen, and rather, it's often about me every day. [M]Synya has long said that she is not good at getting to know people.Even in a game called Van der Jeu, it's a line I've heard several times.

Sure enough, Cynthia was a solo player, she didn't engage with many people, and she always seemed to be standing a step away.

But that doesn't mean you don't know how others feel.

Cynthia will never say or do anything that will hurt the essence of a person.When Shinya-kun says or does something like that, only if the other person is worthy of it, or if it is for the person's benefit.

And if ninety-nine of the hundred say the same thing, and it is a word that hurts others, then it is a man that turns against ninety-nine.

That intense ego... Synya-kun with the core is a person that others don't like very much.Especially in games, I don't think anyone would bother to get close.After all, it's a game, so I want to have fun... it's the general opinion.

But not for me.

I fell in love with Van der Geu when I lost my grandparents and was in a state of despair.

Everyone is having a good time, and I have no intention of blaming them at all.But for me, it felt like another life...

It's just branded as an ultra-realistic RPG, and it's a terrifyingly ghostly setting.You don't want players to have fun running it?And the more you want to suspect.

But it was similar to reality for me.

Until then, my grandparents who loved me died, and my parents were drug addicts.I learned medicine because I wanted to help my grandparents, but I couldn't help my grandmother.

If God put me to the test, why me instead of my drug-addicted parents?Did I do something wrong?Thinking so, I couldn't help but resent God.

Since I escaped from such a bad world in the first place, it's a demon game, so I can't save it either.

But it was Shinya who met me in such a demon game.

Though Cynthia may not remember, for me, meeting Cynthia was special.

Identify yourself as a Slime Researcher, raise your stats to research Slimes, and complete quests to study Slimes.There's no such player.

Naturally, I was treated as a freak from around me, and there was no fixed party.That said, it wasn't a solo player, it was like going that way or this way.

In the real world, I was a social person, and I was able to avoid talking about topics that I knew others would not be interested in.I was good at getting to know people, and there were a number of parties in Van der Jeu that I often played with.Nevertheless, I did not settle for one party.

It's fun to be doing it.I think it would be nice to complete one quest with everyone, and everyone would be happy...But I couldn't feel the same way.Not because I wanted to do slime research, but because I felt like I was standing in a different place than those people.

Everyone stood in a bright place, but it felt like they were the only ones in the shadows...

At that time, I will learn about the rumors about the solo player, Simya.

The rumors are in favor or disagree. In my opinion, there were many rumors of no. [M]

Shinya continues to live through this demonic game in solo play.It was rumored that he was strong enough to complete dungeons and hunt powerful monsters by himself.However, the party that had done the quest together invited the members, but no party was able to bring him in.

So... it was said that "a patient with cooking disorder", "Comu Bocchi", and "a bad person in a good mood".

There's no reason I'm not interested in hearing this kind of story.Even in normal times, I was probably wondering what kind of person I was, but I felt like I was the only one floating around, so I was extra curious... At that time, the city where Cynthia was active was nearby, and in the end, I decided to go see the rumored solo player.Even if you say you're going to see it, you're only going to see the character through the monitor, so all you're actually going to see is the character's behavior.I thought that I might not be able to sense something from it, but I couldn't win the desire to see someone similar to my situation.

And what I saw there was deeply engraved in me.

When I was traveling to the City of Rumors to find you, you were hunting monsters in a nearby Crusade Quest.By chance, I was able to see the scene. [M]

A sophisticated sword technique and magic that makes me want to hear how many times I've practiced.A horribly accurate attack that is supposed to be moving through the screen rather than actually moving its own body as it is now.

As soon as I saw it, I had goosebumps all over my body.

I instantly understood that this person was projecting another self into this world just like myself.

I immediately sent a message in anticipation of the timing of your calmness. [M]Anyway, I want to know about Shinya-kun, and I want to get a reply from Shinya-kun anyway, so I wrote this in the subject line to express my interest.

Slime researcher to Mabdachi.

When I opened the message, I felt that Cynthia's time had come to a halt, even through the character.

If I had been given such a strong impression, I would have written it thinking that Cynthia would not ignore it, but later on, I thought it was a great subject.

In the main text, I seriously wrote that I am in the future, that I am interested in Synya-kun, and that I would like you to exchange messages because it is even a little good.Thanks to that, Cynthia replied to me with half the fun.

Then the interaction between me and Shinya began.

When I invited him to talk about things like his self-proclaimed slime researcher and his playing style, Shinya told me a little bit and I was able to hear a lot.

Sinya's style of play, how long she has played Van der Jeu, and why she continues to play solo.

As for the reason for continuing the solo player and refusing to invite him to the party, he didn't give me a clear answer, but it seemed like it would be better not to touch it too much, so I could understand that something had happened.By exchanging messages, I could understand a little bit about what kind of person Shinya was.

There are many things that have been said, but there are some things that may have a reason for that, and there are parts where you continue to play solo because you don't like the noise from the outside.

I think that I and Shinya were similar. [M]Though the things you carry may be different, I think the reasons for immersion in this world were similar.However, how we behave in this world… there was a big difference.

I was trying to blend in with others, smiling, knowing that this was not where I belonged.Simya-kun, on the other hand, was distancing herself from others and doing what she wanted to do.

I don't think there is anything good or bad about it.Still, I seemed free to you, Simya. [M]Because my hobbies don't suit me, I was very jealous that I could only match up with my surroundings without talking about slime research at all.

I called myself a slime researcher, and I began to talk about slime without any hesitation, because I admired you.

But if you live that way, you naturally had to pay for it.

The people who were involved with me until then smoked at me, reacted in a disgusting way, and became unwilling to form a party.

I also know that "slime researcher www" and "freak player" were said in the shadows.

Honestly, when I first found out about it, I was pretty depressed.There are not many people who are happy to be hated by others.

And I consulted with Shinya-kun about it.No, it's better to say that you've spoken stupidly than to consult.At last, I wrote such a thing in the message.But as a result, it changed the life of Van der Jeu a lot.

When I sent a message with a stupid accusation, Cynthia wrote something like this in his reply.

"If you want to study the way of life that you want to stop just being fooled by others, you better stop.

Still, if you say you want to do it, I'll back you up.

Everyone has their own way of enjoying the game.

He who speaks of other people's hobbies is a lonely man who can't have a hobby.I'm sure you'll be out of this game soon. ”

When I saw the message, I began to think of Shinya-kun as the real Mabuchi.

I don't think you need to tell me why.

I'm going to be immersed in slime research.

Synya went to another city to do what she wanted to do, and I left the city to do what I wanted to do.

Even though the messages are so interchangeable from time to time, a man's friends can be like that.

Besides, since Cynthia taught me how to have fun, I couldn't help but enjoy Van der Ju.

For me, Cynthia-kun is like that. [M]

I think you're keeping me away from murderers because of you.Cynthia is such a kind person.

To be so kind, and on top of that, I was asked to rescue the villagers.If you don't succeed, you can't forgive yourself.

The villagers will be safely evacuated.

"Pure Tan. I think there are slimes around here. Can you unfold the slimes for me?"

Hearing my words, the core of the pure tongue moves fuzzily.

I can't have a conversation, but I can feel the slimes unfolding around me through the pure tongue.

"Alright..."

If Slime notices the enemy, I'll notice it too.However, we can't cover the whole area, so we have to move repeatedly and remain vigilant.

The enemy soldiers are coming in now, and when they find a thin spot, they give a signal.And break through the walls before everyone comes... are you sure that's all you need to do?Even if we break through the wall, if we get blocked, we'll get there.

When I was in the game, I've been in quests with Cynthia several times, and I understand my movements in battle to a certain extent.I mean, Cynthia, you're assuming that I'm thinking and moving to some degree.

In other words, it would be better to think that you left what happened on the scene to me...In that case, the specific actions from here on out will change greatly depending on my thoughts.

"This is... a serious responsibility..."

When I definitely tried to finish it, I was breathing, but I shook my head to the side as I became anxious early on.

Pacifier!

I slapped my cheek hard with both hands to regain my temper.

"I've decided to do it, so I'll do it!" Definitely! "

In the first place, it was my decision to arrive at Cynthia, so I knew this would happen.It's too late to be scared.

Besides, to the people in the hidden villages, Heine and Pilte.The safety of all is on my shoulders. [M]It's not the case that I'm flustered.

"Pure! Let's do our best together!"

Place the pure tongue that moves the nucleus on your head, and I will begin to move.

It may have been better to show your face to Heine-san and Pilte-san, who would be in the village, and then move to the surrounding vigilance, but if you think that the enemy might come in the meantime, you could not go to the village easily.But instead, it turns out there's no enemy soldiers around here.

"If there are no enemies, it means that they will come from now on..."

Even if I think about it from the beginning of the game, I don't know how the enemy moves when I don't have much combat experience.
