Vol 3 Chapter 3 (1/2)
Chapter 3 - Killing
Giant/Guiding Method
Part 1
Elchea's King City——audience hall
The two I on the throne, limp and weak
”I say, this is boringWhen will the Eastern Union contact us about the
competition date?”
”Boring”
After the series of events with Kurami, five days had already passed by
Their originally positive spirits now cru
Even Steph, who always lectured the to say now
Finally, the restless Steph had a thought
”Wh, what if they forgot——or the letter didn't reachhere?”
——Steph said so, having experienced the same problem in the past
Sora regained his vitality and sat up, displaying a tyrannicalsmile
”Oh? If that's the case, then we'llsee ould happen——right?”
What Sora thought was, using the last trureatest
harassment——
”Master, sorry to bother you”
Jibrilsuddenly eed from thin air
Seeing a cylinder-shaped iteot up
”Whoa! Jibril! Is that——!?”
”Yes, this was sent from the Eastern Union, the date of the competition”
Jibril continued while s:
”It seeht with the Eastern Union and
locked it so City Well, it was because they
appeared suspicious when looking at me——”
”GuuuUnless you”
Because it was Jibril, she would kil——
”Please rest assured, I politely and peacefully convinced the other party I
gently looked into his eyes and coughed a bit, causing him to wet his pants
and he unhesitantly gave ”
”Is, is that so”
——The [Ten Oaths] Doesn't include intimidation?
No, before that, wasn't it looting if he prevented the letter fro into
our hands——
Nevertheless, Steph hugged her head and said:
”I should've guessedBecause it involved the fate of I
as so false reports to
Sora], then he could obtain the [Rights to send the letter] and——”
It see as it was about
politics
Slightly changing his opinion of Steph, Sora quietly thought and said:
”——so it was my fault someone didn't specify a time for the letter to arrive?
Oi, if I like this when the situation arises, why can't they
use that sort of brain to focus on the country's affairs”
”Since Sora is I their best to stop you”
Steph coldly replied, but Sora jovially ignored her
”Okay, what is written——————————shi+ro, today's date?”
”27”
Sora's face stiffened when shi+ro answered him immediately
”——ISN'T THAT TODAY!? THE COMPEtitION DATE!!”
”Eh!? Th, that, time is ——”
Sora shouted towards the panicking Steph
”Froet yourselves prepared!”
”I, I know——”
”As expected ofJibril, always ready”
”shi+rois allready”
”shi+ro's brother, Sora, is always OK! Good, let's go!”
Looking at Sora and company who stood up and said they [We're ready],
Steph started panicking
”Th, that! Oi! This is a competition for countries! At least wear formal attire
——”
”Eh? Isn't this our formal attire? Is there a problem?”
In the group of abnormal people, the truly normal person was known as the
abnormality
The three of the:[”What are
you talking about”]——
”~~~~Fi, Fine! So be it!”
”Then, Masters and Dora-chan, please hold onto me, I'll jump into the
embassy——”
”Ah, Jibril, there is no need for that”
After refusing Jibril's fastest way to travel, Sora turned to the idling Steph
”Steph, arrange a carriage at the entrance of the city——we'll openly depart”
Jibril was unable to grasp that sentence while Steph was shocked speechless
”WhWhat about the demonstrations!?”
”Why——why do you think I intentionally caused the demonstrations to start
in the first place?”
Part 2
With provocations co
City square
TheCity slowly opened with a screech
Everyone who appeared castigated them——but
As soon as they saw the figures of the four, the crowd fellsilent
In the midst of that silence, the crowd parted ways to allow them to pass
Walking in the center, with jet-black hair and cold eyes——the [King] Sora
Next to him, with ruby-red eyes——the [Queen] shi+ro
Closely sticking behind the quietly——the
[Attendant] Jibril
The three shi+ning eyes exuded out extraordinary determination and absolute
[Confidence]
The crowd couldn't utter a word
No, it was too beautiful
To be honest, Jibril's eyes and gentle smile seemed to imply:
——[If I can hear your insults towards Master, prepare to hand out your
lives]
The oppressive at someone from
breathing stopped the crowd's words
At the rear of the group was the blue-eyed Steph, as tre while
chasing
——In the end, not a single remark was spoken as they walked down the
road
Steph breathlessly got into the carriage and asked Sora:
”You, you said you purposely caused the demonstrations——why is that so?”
Sora was surprised by that question and asked shi+ro:
”Eh? shi+ro, you didn't tell her?”
”?”
shi+ro tilted her head in confusion, leading Sora to finally realise so
This was a really stupid question
shi+ro wouldn't take her own initiative to explain so to someone except
for Sora
”Ah~It's like that, the number of reasons as to why I betted the Imanity piece
is——[Three]”
Sora lifted his fingers and turned towards Steph
”Needless to say, the first was to force the Eastern Union out; the second is
soet her to join us; and,
lastly——”
Sora explained sequentially until the last finger, where he had a mischievous
smile:
”Everyone's suspicious eyes”
”Eh?”
”I don't need the kind of trust of [We'll win if it's us], but I need a bunch of
worried people to widen their eyes and see This will be the countermeasure
for the Eastern Union's cheat because there is nothing more reliable than a
pair ofsuspicious eyes”
Sora smirked
Ignoring the stunned Steph, he coe driver:
”Please start the journey, destination will be——Izuna-chan's house!”
”GO~”
Part 3
The outskirts of Elchea, the huge building that stood near the border
This was Elchea, the Eastern Union embassy
Sora and coe, and an old Werebeast who
earing a Hakama welcomed them
He was the Elchea Eastern Union en ambassador——Hatsuse
Ino
”Waited for a long time”
”The ones aited were us Okay, we should start”
Once they got down, Sora carefreely said, but the alert Ino briefly responded
”Then, this way please”
Following Ino, Sora and co——Embassy, with
Ino being silent
”H with the old man, why is he so quiet?”
Sorathat ironic talk earlier on
Steph replied, with a look of utter defeat:
”Using a method close to fraud to force the Eastern Union to bet everything
on their territories, are you qualified to have those kinds of talks with him?”
”Rather than that——” Steph pressed her fingers on her head
”Are your brains nor the whole of
Ihts?”
This was obviously the second visit, but Jibrilstarted salivating when she
looked around, deeply interested in everything she saw In contrast, shi+ro
yawned and started to play with her phone; while Sora had hands behind his
back as he walked leisurely Steph desperately endured a stomach-ache
”Steph, are you okay? Please take it easy, or you won't be able to handle it
oh?”
”Thank you for the concern, but the main reason why my stomach hurts is
definitely because of you”
They were taken to the living rooo
”Then before the game starts, please wait here temporarily”
”I know, you must also allow the audience in okay!”
Ino silently bowed and left After disappearing, Sora unhesitatingly laid down
onto the sofa
”Then, Jibril, please call me when the time is up”
”Understood, please rest assured and relax”
”shi+ro too”
Saying so, shi+ro laid onto Sora's stomach, huddled her body and closed her
eyes
Just like that, the siblings fell asleep after a couple ofseconds
”Unbelievable, how sane are they supposed to be”
Several hours later, the game that would decide the fate of Imanity would
begin
Froame's date, she started
experiencing nausea and stomach pain
Jibril as at ease as the siblings said:
”Dora-chan should rest awhile too? According to Master's books, the human
brain can function better after several hours ofsleep!”
”If I had the steel heart to sleep under these circumstances, I would too”
”Indeed, considering what Master has to do, this is indeed a tough situation”
”!”
These words stiffened Steph
”Looking at this , so we
should give it our all too”
Feeling her sto, Steph then——
In the few hours before that start of the game, Steph spent the time in the
toilet connected to the living room
Part 4
”FuahhhEH? Steph, you looked like you've lost weight in the last few
hours?”
”If you say I look languish, it may actually be true”
With the galy replied to Sora who had
just woke up
”Okay, shi+ro, status?”
”Good”
Hearing Sora's question, shi+ro's eyes eht several times sharper
than usual
”What about Jibril?”
”There is no good or bad condition for The Flügel, as long as you command,
I'm ready to devote myself”
Jibril eli all expressions from her face
while speaking
”Steph's condition——Un, looks very good”
After saying that, Sora continued, albeit slowly:
”Steph, remember e bet the last time?”
”Which bet?”
”The ti where the dove would fly away”
”AhhI re that day, so what
about it?”
”You remember? The bet that time——I still haven't said it yet oh?”
”——Eh?”
”Jibril, can you ensure that the Werebeasts can't hear my voice?”
”Yes, I've enshrouded Master and Dora-chan in a sound cancelling barrier”
After Jibril's halo spun for a while, Sora nodded and faced Steph
”Steph, I shall now impose on you a special curse”
Sora's sentle
However, Steph felt troubled due to the unnaturally close distance to Sora
Part 5
——start of the game
A croas led by Ino into the embassy's first floor
It was a gargantuan hall that encompassed the entire first floor of the
embassy
There were giant screens on each of the four walls
The place was filled with hundreds——no, thousands of hu
the game that decides the fate of Imanity with doubtful eyes
Facing opposite the screen on the stage was a black box——with 5 chairs
near it
””
Silently sitting on one of the chairs——was their opponent, a girl
She was the ambassador for the Eastern Union embassy in Elchea
With fox-like ears, a black-haired Werebeast——Hatsuse Izuna
The girl's eyes were closed, as ifshe was concentrating, devoid of the
intimacy from before
”Please sit here”
Under Ino's urging, Sora sat beside Izuna, while following in a sequence was
shi+ro, Jibril and Steph
After confir that they were seated, Ino stood beside Izuna and recited the
file in his hand
”Then——we'llstart by [Confir the contents of the Oaths]”
A sound ofso their saliva was heard
”The Eastern Union will bet up [Everything in their territory], while Elchea will
bet on their [Race piece]——nahts, territories and
whatnot The Eastern Union representative, with Elchea's two kings and their
entourages, it will be 5 people——a 4 versus 1 style, to partake in this
Eastern Union game”
The opponent followed his require the 4 versus 1, which
made Sora smile
——of course, this was because he didn't give his opponent any rights to
refuse
”With an additionalrequirement from the Eastern Union, the erasure of
[Meame], this will be set upon the whole of Imanity,
not just the participants”
Ino continued reading in a dull tone
”In addition, the rules would be explained once the gaame will
be dee in the erasure of the
memories——are these conditions okay?”
——a sieous condition
Only knowing the ga?
Afterif [these
conditions are okay]?
[Are these conditions okay?] hat the spectators wanted to ask
However, Sora had a relaxed expression
”Yes, there is no problem, but there are two points that need to be made
clear”
Meanwhile, I——Sora responded
”Even if we forfeit, e forget will be——[The ame
today] If you decide to have an iame that forces us to forfeit,
taking our ive up on that kind of expectation,
because it's a waste of time”
Staring into Ino's eyes, Sora said;
”The second point is, [If there is any ame, defeat will be
certain once brought to light]——this is one of the [Ten Oaths], so please
don't forget about this point Okay, there aren't any problems left, so please
hurry up and start”
Too easy
The first trap that the Eastern Union had arranged was already seen through
by Sora
Sora had an expression that was certain of victory
Everyone in the area had un eyes
Ino and Izuna knew that the contents of the gah
Both of them frowned for different reasons
”Then we should get your agreein, swear to the Oaths”
After announcing this, Sora and shi+ro raised their hands
Jibril unhesitantly, while Steph hesitated in fear——
”” [Acciente]””
” [Acciente], des”
The representative of Imanity, Sora and shi+ro, as well as the opponent
The Eastern Union's ambassador Hatsuse Izuna
——pledged to the [Ten Oaths], the mutual declaration
”Then, shi+ro, don't let go of my hands!”
”Nii too”
Grasping onto each other's hands tightly Sora leaned back on the chair and
said:
”Okay——start the game”
”Then let's get started”
Ino said while controlling the black box——probably turning on the power
What they saere the huge screens that started gloith light
——this could be said to be a gaainst the
entire territory of the third largest country on the continent
Anxiety, confusion, despair, countless of eether,
The hall packed with thousands ofspectators, went silent
Looking at Izuna, Sora said:
”I say, Izuna”
”What, des”
Izuna hesitated for aifshe should respond to the enemy
since the gain
However, Sora gazed up at the screen, and casually said a sentence
——Izuna was going to regret having heard those words
”When was the last ti [Happy]?”
Hearing that sentence, Izuna didn't have a moment to think before the screen
dyed black, and——
——Sora and everyone's consciousness was sucked into the screen
Part 6
In theconsciousnesses, Sora started to think calmly
(Going through the late king's intelligence, and also the spying, speculating
what the game is is easy)
It was indeed as what Sora had revealed, a [Video game]
The only difference as, this was a virtual game that involves the transfer of
consciousness
The late king re in a [different world],
which was probably his limit
(At that time the opponent was Hatsuse Ino, which was that old man)
The record said that it was a [Body blowing game]——which meant it was
definitely a FPS
[7] game
After the last coo, the opponent was also
changed to Hatsuse Izuna
It definitely ame content, but——
(As this was an [Open]the characteristics
of the Werebeasts and their e
fundamentally)
Indeed, under these conditions, the Werebeasts would always [Win]
(So, even if they were to change the venue and alter the rules If we
responded to it rapidly and anticipate it carefully, this would definitely be a
win——!)
However——before finishi+ng his
constructed in front of his eyes which caused hihts and
widen his eyes
In front of their eyes were——————
”————————you're kidding me”
”————————”
The siblings resented their missteps
They had predicted numerous rules, countless venues and were prepared with
countless strategies
But————this was the only venue that they didn't expect
There was no doubt, what they sawWas so that they didn't want
to see
Ahhhhh, love and hate, the place filled with psychological trauma——
They cannot be mistaken——this was indeed Tokyo
”Sorry, Steph, Jibril”
”Eh? What?”
”AH! Erm, that, did Master call me!?”
Sora said to the stunned Steph and the salivating Jibril as engrossed
with the scenery:
”I can't do it, sorry, Imanity is finished”
” shi+vers shi+vers shi+vers shi+vers”
”AaaWh, what happened!? That kind of rhetoric questi——”
”I'm sorry I'm sorry I did not think that it was Tokyo that illface up
against our hoain and that we can't help anymore and that you need to
think of your oays and that I'm sorry”
” shi+vers shi+vers shi+vers shi+vers”
The brother was rolling his eyes and saying a torrent of words; the sister was
squatting, shaking her head; Jibrilsaid:
”——un, unless, this is Master's world?”
At this time, a narration——no, Ino's voice resounded around
[Surprising isn't it? Welcoame world]
”GameWorld”
[Yes, this is the stage for the game, the virtual world]
”Hold on”
[——Yes?]
”Let me confirm, this is——a virtualspace, a non-existent place?”
[Indeed, what about it?]
Surveying around, Sora calmly re-evaluated
Numerous skyscrapers towered over the sky, while the concrete-filled roads
enveloped the floor
Indeed, this was similar to the heart of Tokyo——but
The billboards were not in japanese, there were also Toriis
[8] everywhere,
giving athat was clearly different from the
Tokyo Sora knew
”——which is to say, this virtual place was created with iination?”
[Yes, you understand this very fast]
”————————DON'T SCARE US LIKE THAT!!!!”
Sora's roar echoed in the pseudo-Tokyo game
”————Ahh, darn! Made me think ofsome traumatic experiences! I
would've unhesitantly cut my arteries and died Don't do this kind ofstuff
again, old man!”
Ino was confused as to why Sora was mad
[Why are you that ?]
”Unsatisfied! Why choose this kind ofstage! Is this a form of malicious attack
or simply harassment!”
[NoThis is a sci-fistage that recently got popular with the youths in
Eastern Union, there isn't any specific intentions for using this stage]
”AhAhhh? Science, science fiction?”
——ye, yeah
Calin Sora
Yes, thinking about it, this is a fantasy world
Which inal world——a
world filled with elves and dragons
Just like our world, this [Disboard] is indeed a fantasy world
To these people, the idea of [Modern Earth] is just a product of what I'm
thinking——only me
This is a gaame, not Tokyo, a
virtual game
Sora convinced himself and took a deep breath
”FuHaOkay, no problems, my heart is calm”
” shi+vers shi+vers shi+vers shi+vers”
”shi+ro, calh this looks like Tokyo, it ain't This is a place that
cainations”
”GuuuuEh?”
Perhaps she was hit with a psychological trauma
shi+ro didn't seem to have heard Ino's words and needed Sora to convince
her
”Yes, and since this is a gaht? Like the Persona series,
Akiba's Trip and Steins;Gate This is a game, so there won't be any
probleht?”
”Inside a gaotIt”
Although her eyes were still dazed, shi+ro nonetheless stood up
[Uhh~ So let ame?]
——there were huame
Sora lightly coughed, having felt the cold gazes staring at hih the
spectators were invisible
”Okay, no problein”
[Un, then we'll begin the animation]
”Eh? What is that?”
”Is there a need to see it?”
Steph and Jibril were confused, but Sora and shi+ro had already positioned
theht
”You are not worthy of being a gamer if you skip the introductions, so stop
gazing around, widen your eyes and sit in the correct position to watch”
”nodsnods”
By their urging, Steph and Jibrilreluctantly sat in an upright position
After that, a huge screen appeared from above Tokyo (fake)
[You——are a heartthrob]
Just a second has passed before Sora gave the judgement that this was
undoubtedly a bad game
But holding onto his gamer's self-esteem, he remained silent
[Every girl in the world is crazy for you, giving you days where you are
chased by themBut you already have someone——someone you like]
The huge screen that originally had narration suddenly changed to an angelic
Izuna, as dressed beautifully
[However, in the face of many temptations, there is no error in true love——]
Then the screen changed to a scene where dozens of kemonomimistarted to
chase, wanting an embrace
[Can you resist all these temptations——and convey the [Love] to your
sweetheart!?]
A side-story of the Dead or Alive series
L O V E D OR L O V E D 2~shoot your love to her~
Contrary to the the siblings' amused expressions, the other two had not seen a
gun before and were confused Ino continued:
[Then I'll explain the rules]
With a tone as if he was reading an instruction manual, Ino said:
[Please use those guns——to shoot at the nearby NPCs]
[9]
”Shoot!?”
[You can shoot or blast——give them the melty melty]
”GalGun!?”
[10]
[Once given the irls would understand your sweetheart and
entrust their love power to you”
”Ah, yes”
[What the 『Melty un』 shoots out is 『Love power』——which means
everyone's 『Power of love』]
Suddenly, everyone looked down on the gun on their hands that had a
peculiar shape
”——this is called the [Melty un] eh”
”Good custom”
”What a cheap name, you can obviously feel the childish vibes from it”
”Hey hey, what is this [ㄑㄧㄤ]?”
”In other words, Izuna wants us to love her, the goal is a hare While
our goal is Izuna alone”
[That is indeed right on the dot]
”ThatHow do I say”
Holding cos, Sora spoke up:
”I'llforgive this setting since Izuna-chan is an adorable kiirl; if this
was you old e out my own eyes”
[I can understand your strong feelings, but please don't forget, the request of
4 versus 1 was set by you!]
——Ino's explanation clearly e was caused by
Sora's request
However, he continued saying, as if agreeing to Sora's thoughts
[The latest trend has got to do with all these cute gamesBack when I was
younger, everything was more hot-blooded——]
——It appears no amers, Sora
thought
”Oh well Old , and some questions too”
[Please go ahead]
One, the [Energy](power of love) consuun] and
[Melty grenade]
Second, attacking the [NPCs], willrestore the [Energy](power of love) or
not
Third, when the [NPCs] received the [Energy](power of love) and starts to
attack, will the [Energy](Power of love) decrease upon contact
Fourth, once the [Energy](power of love) is used up, the [NPCs] will no
longer approach and will be unable to fight
Fifth, once hit by Izuna, you'll become her [Companion](love slave),
beco an uncontrollable——[Enemy]
Sixth, if a co
them back willreturn them back to normal
Seventh, even when the [Energy] (power of love) is used up, reversing the
situation with the sixth is still possible
Eighth, the situation reflects the reality of one's own physical abilities, with no
usage of ic
”——that should be allright?”
[You are learning too quickly, that saves time]
——Sora placed a finger on his chin and started thinking
Although there were problems with several of them, this wouldn't affect the
overallstrategies
This game is barely——just a little shy——but still within the predicted
range
”So this a gaun and Left 4 Dead had a child”
Sora had so to all those rules
”This is such a stupid gameLike any otaku would happily buy it”
”Which meansNii will buy”
”Yes, even though the stage and protagonist sucks, but using this game to
seize territorieschased by kemonomimi
girls, or wanting to achieve more”
Sora explained with excite:
”Old un]——what kind of principles would be restored if
you shoot it at your companion?”
[Simple, because what it shoots out is the 『Power of Love』]
”Sa shot by Izuna?”
[Yes, only temporarily, the person shot will become the shooter's 『Love
slave』——]
Bang!
Before Ino finished talking, shi+ro had already pulled the trigger at Sora
without any hesitation
The pink bullet flew out of the gun and struck ho
countless ofsmall hearts to fly about——
”Ahhh, my little sister————my little sister! Why didn't I notice that there
was such a lovely woman at my side the whole time! Ahhh! I really want to
dig out my own eyes!!!'
”KyaaaNii, noWe are siblings”
shi+ro blushed and responded with exaggeration
”Whoa whoa! What about it! Indeed, societal norms reject it, but the socalled
society isn't present right now! This is [Disboard], where everything is
decided by gao——the other side
