Chapter 1 (1/2)

I, who was given a console and the game “Dragon Hunter Cross” by a mysterious old man, went straight back home to confirm the quality of the things.

Neither the package nor the contents were changed, everything seems genuine.

I took the 3PS console out and read the manual but there didn’t seem to be anything strange……was he just making a fool out of me？

When I thought ‘let’s try this out’ and closed the manual, something strange was written on the back of the booklet.

『About the way of doing things inside the game 』

「The way of doing things……inside the game？」

『When you want to go inside the game, please push L b.u.t.ton five times with the selection b.u.t.ton pushed. When you want to return, please do a similar operation with the controller that appears inside your head』 (TN: Not 100% sure about this one)

The h.e.l.l……？　Inside the game？　To go inside？　Such thing is impossible.

This might be a joke of the developers.

I charged the 3PS console and started initializing it while connecting it to wireless LAN, then I inserted “Dragon Hunter Cross” while being excited.

A heroic opening movie was shown and the logo of Dragon Hunter Cross was projected on the screen.

I already checked out the “How to play” guides on the official website.

There was something strange at the character creation part.

「What’s this……I can only choose a Male character……」

Dragon Hunter Cross is supposed to let players freely choose between male and female.

Is this a fake product after all？

「Tch……even though I intended to make a female character and have her wear erotic equipment……」

Anyway, since it can’t be helped, I’ll just make a male character and try to make him look good.

Character’s name… I just read an R18 web novel the other day so I’ll use that protagonist’s name “Arc”.

As the character creation ended, I proceeded to the main part being very excited.

The screen projected the scene of a farming Alpine village, as well as its field.

I greeted the chief and other inhabitants and was given a house. At first I thought it was fake, but it seems like the old man didn’t fool me, this really is the genuine product.

As for the beast people in the village… I came to say hi to the so called “cat roux” girls.

When I talked to the balloon cat that managed the village, it said something strange.

『Hunter-sama, from here, you can proceed to Saishono Village, Yukiyama Village, Hot Stream Village, and the Red-light district nya~』

「……ha？」

I was dumbfounded and read the whole thing again twice.

In the Online PC Version of this game, this town is the starting base, that I understand. (TN: ビジョオルデというのは、ドラハンのＰＣ版オンラインゲーム、「ドラゴンハンターオンライン」の拠点となる街だ、それはまだ分かる。)

But Red-light district……？

This is a game that you shouldn’t expect any eroticism, much less an absurd thing like this.

But the word “Red-light District” is clearly written on the screen.

「……let’s try going there……」

I asked the balloon cat for directions and moved my character towards the Red-light district.

Before my character, a street with rows of houses like in the Middle Ages with the dusky pink-like atmosphere opened.

The streets were suspicious, customer-pulling men were standing here and there everywhere.

I made up my mind and talked to one of them.

「Welcome！　3000 gold for one night of s.e.x！　How’s that onii-san！」

Then the line 「Gold is insufficient」 appeared on the screen.

「Come again another time！　Onii-san！」

I only had 1000 gold the village chief gave me as a headstart, and when thinking about hunting business in the future, gold cannot be wasted too easily.
