Vol 3 Chapter 3 (2/2)
where ethicalrequirements does not exist!!”
”Oi! I'll interrupt okay!! Have you forgotten that this is an important match!?”
Although she was confused, Steph nevertheless quickly interjected Jibril who
was at the side suddenly said:
”Then let me have my fun too”
Bang
The bullet fired fro small hearts about
”JibrilI love you?”
”Ahhhhhhhhhhh shi+ro! Are you rejecting Nii's love!?”
”Ah ha!! This le] and [Netorare]
[11]
written in Master's book, I see——even though I don't have feelings of love,
this is very exciting————!”
”————Ah!”
Sora suddenly woke up
”GuuI can't even controla [Love Slave], but I'm
still conscious of itThis is horrifying, going into a state where I can't control
to shi+ro and went to the land of the
prohibited”
Slightly later, shi+ro seeained consciousness too and she
started staring at Jibril with her eyes half-opened
”JibrilLaterPunishment”
”Ahhh! Forgive me shi+ro-sama! I couldn't suppress my curiosity!”
”Why punish her? WhateverIn short, the rules have been
masterednext”
Mastering the rules of the gaies
However, thematter was——
”EhhhSteph, the rules, do you understand it?”
”Heh, don't underestimate me——I totally didn't understand it!”
Steph puffed out her chest and said Sora then said to her:
”Okay, firstly you'll hold the gun like this”
”Un, like that?”
”Yes yes, then place your index finger into the hole”
”Okay”
”Next, point the gun doards and pull your index back”
”Like this?”
Steph pointed the gun onto the ground and pulled the trigger
With a Bang, the bullet hit the ground——and bounced back
”Ah, ahhhhWhy ao”
Beco a love slave to herself, Steph e
her body
”H capabilities shi+ro, this is the
key factor”
”Un, I knowLeave it to me”
The siblings conversed while observing Steph with serious eyes
”So we'll tentatively treat this place as point α until we've finished settling
down in this place, beforeto the rules, aside from
Jibril, our bodies are the sath of
Werebeasts, then it'll be hard to shake them off Jibril, you'll be at the rear to
help send our pursuers packing home”
”Yes, sir”
”Understood——but what about Dora-chan?”
Hearing this, Sora watched Steph whose body rithing
”Doesn't ets shot by Izuna? Since it is [Steph] after all”
”Indeed, if it is [Steph]”
Listening to Sora's certainty, Jibrilreadily abandoned Steph
”Okay, let's go! Both of you! The fate of Imanity lies in this battle!”
””Oh~!””
”Oh hohoho, why am·I·so·beautiful?Ahhh, why are you so cold?”
Ignoring Steph as sticking herself to the mirror, the three of them took
action and left
■ Spectators' floor ■
The gaun
In the eyes of the duame
There was a girl who had a tense atmosphere, with black eyes obscured
beneath the shadow of a black veil
——Kuraure appeared
(Fii, can you see it?)
《Yes~the angle is perfect, I'ht》
Kuraht was currently in sync with the elf outside the building——Fiel,
and they were having a conversation
Although this was as nor for Kurami as born in Elven
Gard
(Really, coet hit with this sort of
ic)
——Ino's eyebrow started twitching
(——This is The sic?)
Humans do not have the capability to connect to the Elemental Gallery, and
neither can the Werebeasts
However, Ino caught the [Sic with his extraordinary senses and
started looking around
(Kurami Zierh! Why is she here!)
He remembered that she was a spy sent by Elven Gard of the elf race to
infiltrate into the King selection battle of Elchea
(——the person even lured over [Other races to monitor] eh)
——the Oaths only covered the participants and the spectators' memories
If Kuraic to report to the currently far away elves,
then this game would be known to Elven Gard
Staring at Sora as running in the virtualreality, Ino thought:
(This man——prepared to this extent!)
——[Try and blatantly cheat if you dare, even the tricks to your game would
be exposed]
A shallow smile appeared on the man whose eyes were closed
《Fufu, still pretendingYour over-sensitive ears are currently showing a
reaction yo~》
Seeing that the un his attention to them, Fii can't help
but laugh
——This should be the development as desired by Sora
(Fii, this [Coame that was speculated by Sora, a virtual
world wherewe can do
——)
《I understand, the i at this》
——as expected of Fii
Once she had heard of Sora's request, she already grasped onto his
intentions
(This way, the Eastern Union can't use an obvious cheat)
Co means were known by
Elven Gard, then they should be able to take countermeasuresWhich
means next time Eastern Union willreally be finished
For this reason, Sora would exploit the contents and use [Fii] to monitor, so
that her memories wouldn't disappear even if they had lost
(But even so, I do not intend on letting them cheat, so Fiishould also help
too)
《Un~ yo~! But, for Kurami, I'll work hard》
——re-exaame
No matter how much she looked back, this was a plan that was too risky
However, even with all those negative factors, [Victory] this as shi+ning
in Sora's memories
For him to have such a confident answer——should lie in who Sora believed
in
Kuraame?
”Let me see——Sora”
Just like that, Kurah the black veil and stared at the screen
that was reflecting a running Sora
■ In the game ■
There were a bunch of people running in a concrete jungle, between buildings
in a fictional Tokyo
——Sora skillfully dodged the Ke
them
While observing with his sharp eyes, he started thinking
Because the NPCs were set to be Werebeasts, their physical capabilities
were definitely higher than them——but,,,
Sora could barely cope with their actions
This was probably because there was similarity in their movements, the
them
But, that sort of thing didn'twas——
Prior to this and due to his old habits as a ga the
approach ofshooting the NPCs [Head first], causing hi
akin to a sense of violation
”The disappearance of the NPCs(girls) and their clothing——has a slight
delay in ti!)
The gaht difference with their ability of nota
single frame
Unless it was actually possible to do a————partial destruction!
Sora aiun and shot
The gun flashed, causing the pink bullet to fly at the speed ofsound, hitting the
skirt of the NPC(girl)
——the NPC(girl) did not disappear, as the small hearts scattered Only the
skirt disappeared!
”As——As I thought!!!!! This is the real catching point of this game!!!”
No, they must do it The item that sticks closely to their body——which is!
Thethe underwear only——it can be done!!
”Cloth are——presue of 15mm”
Losing the skirt, the NPC(girl) started running at breakneck speed toward
Sora
”The bullet's accuracy has to be at the 1 mmBut, I can do it——!”
The NPC(girl) charged towards Sora with her hands wide open
Slightly bending his waist, Sora dodged the NPC(girl)'s hand and did a
sidestep
Using the set behind the
NPC(girl)'s back
Sora started aie at————the
horizontal-striped underwear!
”——right here!”
The bullet shot out brushed past the underwear——then disappeared
But, the NPC(girl) also scattered the s into
[Energy(Power of Love)] and then disappearing
”damn it alllll! Why, why can't you not wear underwear!? damn it alll!!!”
■ Spectators' floor ■
Seeing how Sora failed to make the underwear disappear, the packed room
ofspectators
OHHHHHHHHHHLet out sounds of regret
Watching that scene, Kura hard to not look
away
(This is a trick, this is a trick, there must be some intentions, he must have
caught onto so, resist it, Fii)
《I'aze, I'm about to faint》
[GOOOD! The bra is destroyed! Holedgeable, to use a hand bra!]
From the screen came Sora's voice, while the spectators' floor were filled
with cheers of OOOOOOHHHHHHHH
(This stupid race, I don't care anymore)
Kura
《Ahh, Kurami, don't close your eyes, open them, Kurami!》
■ In the game ■
(——good, the final confirmation)
Experiencing the chase from the Kemonomimis, Sora joyfully ran in the alley
between the buildings
shi+ro was following his pace and closely followed Sora with her smallsteps
Jibril was juirls)
behind Sora
Exchanging gazes, Sora nodded his head
”shi+ro, report the perforun”
”All intelligence, parahlyIn meters”
shi+ro took a deep breath before continuing
”Velocity of projectile is 300 e of 400m, not affected by wind or
gravity; has straight and bouncing capabilities, lie of
the gun are geole of
incidence are geometrically similar, simple”
She finished the torrent of infor her
breath, shi+ro said
”HowTired”
Co to shi+ro Sora started patting
his little sister's head
”Good, well done, as expected of shi+ro!”
Confirhtly better
”Jibril, how are your physical abilities?”
Sora and shi+ro were still the sa out of breath
after running
So what kind of change did Jibril experience?
”To not be able to uselimited to
my physical limits Really, it's such an inconvenience to have my physical body
only”
Why was it inconvenient ifshe could jump between the walls of
buildingsbut, Sora asked carefully:
”You said it earlier, that the Werebeasts could exceed their physical limits
What's the difference between that and your's?”
”Although it's unpleasant, but that should be correct”
But only, Jibrilsaid:
”As I've discussed before, the Werebeasts can use [Blood Devastation], if
that can be reflected in this game——then I'll prevail in an instant, so best be
prepared”
——[Blood Devastation]The Werebeasts have the capabilities to surpass
their physical li multiplied
severalfold
If this was a game prepared by the Werebeasts, then this capability was
certainly there
”The Flügel, the WerebeastsThis world is too exaggerated”
Sora sighed——nevertheless, they've collected the necessary intel
”In other words, in this virtualspace that prohibits ic, they have the
overwhel on the [Physical aspects]
——this is probably what the eneht”
Sora couldn't help it, and started laughing
They have no obligations to [Fight]; this is a game
——In the previous world, [Blank] was at the peak of more than 280 kinds
of games
Both of theame, which was——
”No ame looks, there are two kinds of actions
for the final action”
”Youris?”
Facing Jibril's question, Sora answered with a splenetic smile:
”——the tactical and corresponding action, which means the active and
passive”
Which means——the one who initiates first wins
This could be said to be a gamer's fact, and——
”They didn't realise, that since ancient tiame”
The ga]
”shi+ro, ready? Keep a low profile while running——okay?”
”Understood”
”Its about time we start eh?”
—————
At a distance hundreds of
Izuna was hiding in a warehouse with a small
Because of where the sun reflected, Sora would not be able to see the
Izuna used her Werebeast sight to locate and watch Sora and
company's movements
There are four enemies, there is one of her
Even if there were many ways to win, the result would be over if there was a
slight el on the opposition
Before the battle, Izuna had been focused on analysing the combat capability
of her enemies
Upon seeing how the trio were having sothe
NPCs(girls) clothes, Izuna frowned unhappily
——[When was the last ti 『happy』?]
Sora's words caused Izuna to bite her lip
(What is happiness? How can I have that kind of feeling, des!)
The gaht
As long as you lose, a lot of people would be unhappy
For this reason, winning was obvious
However, winning, the other party would suffer, even taking away their lives
Those kind of things were [Happiness]?
The only feeling felt was——[Guilt] fro the predator
(Why do you look so happy? Des!)
Izuna was irritated, her eyes that were locked onto Sora became sharper
——suddenly, her eyes caught onto the [Grenade] Sora was holding in his
hand
Sora waved his hand, throwing the [Grenade] This caused a sudden pink
flash to appear
After a bang, there was a severe impact shock
”———!?”
The building Izuna hid in shook
Izuna juht She then placed herself on alert and
listened
(My hiding place was discovered, des!? Impossible, des!)
Since the beginning of the game, Izuna immediately pulled a distance away
from Sora and company to carry out observation
If they didn't have the five senses of the Werebeasts——no, they shouldn't be
able to locate even if they had it
But what Izuna heard——with her radar-like ears that could discern
movements in a 100 meter radius
Was the sound of footsteps walking into the building
(This sound——is shi+ro's, des)
Walking in at a certain pace that was short and lightweight
She was the ene]
No——not only shi+ro, but also Sora and Steph Humans did not have
enough combat capabilities
Izuna did not attack ielJibril
Even if the opponent had gaames, humans
would always be the same——unable to keep up with the Werebeasts'
response
——Then
From the [Grenade] and the [Close footsteps sound], ere these weird
feelings?
Suddenly, she sensed danger
Izuna listened and found out that this building was suddenly full of
NPCs(girls)
Within all that chaos, there was a rhyth
footsteps?
”——!”
Izuna went on full alert and flipped up her kiun which she
started pointing at the small door
This was the only door that connected to the warehouse Izuna was hiding in
Slightly opening the door, a huge a
about
Once the cohth floor
——
It suddenly——stopped
(——?)
Izuna raised her ears to pick up the sound, then——
The footsteps instantly increased in speed
The speed of a human child was not supposed to have any threat——this
was originally the case, but——
(——what is going on, des!?)
Outside——in the hallhere the wandering NPCs(girls) were
With every gunshot, one disappears This sent a chill down Izuna's spine
These set of movements repeated, with no hesitation and disruption
Dispersing the nu down, the footsteps
generally——
(It's co here——des!?)
Izuna didn't doubt it any place was discovered]
——!
How did they find me?——this question didn't matter at this point
Activating her five senses, Izuna turned to face shi+ro as outside the
warehouse and followed her un in her hands
With shi+ro closing in, she fired a bullet outside the door, causing the sound of
explosions and bursts of hearts to appear The bounce from the bullet were
certain to hit home on shi+ro's forehead——
Yes, it was a calculatedpower of the bullet and the
fact that shi+ro couldn't see it
However——that accurately shot bullet——
Was dodged narrowly by shi+ro
(——impossible, des!)
Yes, impossible
After seeing the bullet that travelled at the speed ofsound, avoiding it was
impossible
Even if they knew it, their——bodies wouldn't be able to react in time
Not to irl, but——
That was—— a situation where you [Dodge]
Before that, [shi+ro's footsteps] weren't chaotic in the midst of all those
NPCs(girls)
Her footsteps gave Izuna her answer
In order to confirm it, Izuna shot another bullet out in attempt to hit shi+ro——
but
”Useless”
The bullet that was [Shot] towards shi+ro——was repelled by another bullet
from shi+ro
(Really——it's like that, des!?)
Up to this point, Izuna had a new belief
——she was sure
This huirl
She took action after fully grasping onto the dynamics of all movements
——the bullets and NPCs(girls) wouldn't appear out of thin air
As long as you confirhten
your arms, aim and fire
As long as it was an NPC(girl), once you are discovered, they would come
after you
Abiding by some numerous patterns, from the obvious attacks
Then——there was no need to dodge
As long as you are not in the trajectory of the shot
——shi+ro's actions were secretive
In their original world, the urban legend gamers [Blank]——which means
Sora and shi+ro
In the FPS world, the gamer that held the most kills in recorded history——
Was not Sora, but shi+ro
She had a derasp onto the enemy's dynamics,
deriving out what the eneards
to shooting and dodging ti the enemy an illusion as if [The bullet
took the initiative on her, and is in hot pursuit]
(——is that possible, des!!)
Of course, Izuna couldn't possibly know about the previous world Sora was
in
The fact that Izuna inferred out, was not because she relied on her
Werebeast's instincts
But it was her gamer's intuition that told her that shi+ro——was much more
dangerous than The Flügel
Frantically searching around, Izuna found and hid in a smallspace filled with
items
Facing against opponents that could dodge ricocheting bullets and are able to
mount an offensive front, places like these——were unfavorable
(——I can only escape, des!)
In order to buy time for her escape, Izuna threw a [Grenade] outside the
door
——but before the grenade flew out of the door
A bullet was shot fro it
(What——!?)
Bang
Izuna instantly hid behind all those ite the blast of wind
rushi+ng indoors
But to counter-attack like that, it was like they already knew in advance that
she would throw out a grenade
During that period, shi+ro's footsteps weren't in disorder Reaching the
warehouse, Izuna started having goosebumps
(She's here, des!)
shi+ro launched a flying kick while running——kicking the door open
She then threw a s into the warehouse
Following that, shi+ro knocked down a nearby cupboard,the sound of
her steps with the sound of the collapsing cupboard Izuna's ears couldn't
discern shi+ro's position
Izuna started breathing erratically——she couldn't hear
(———I can only start shooting, des!)
Hiding behind the ite
The countless bullets bounced after being fired, causing the room to become
an endless bombardment
Then——in a moment
Izuna heard shi+ro exhaling——causing a chill to run across her back
Izuna ied out
With ground-breaking strength, she crashed through the so
out of the building
Looking back, in the smoky room caused by an explosion, Izuna felt——
The sound of the ene down all bullets she shot
Next, she heard all the reflected bullets headed into the spot Izuna was hiding
in
(————What exactly is happening, des!?)
A moment——ifshe was a moment too late, she would have been
bombarded with a rain of bullets
But, at this time, Izuna widened her eyes in surprise
This didn't come from shi+ro
——it came from above
”We~ lcome?”
(The Flügel——Jibril, des!?)
She see of which
she would jump out
——When did she move to the roof!?
Izuna gasped in astonishame
restricted them to their absolute physical limits
She shouldn't be able to use ic, so she couldn't fly
Ifshe waswith her two feet, her own ears should've been able to pick
up——
Despite the predicament she was in, Izuna still operated calmly and rationally
She noticed that Jibril was ready to throw a [Grenade]
(——A flash bomb! Des!)
Izuna concluded
Attacking the grenade first would result in an explosion
So——ignore the grenade, shoot Jibril, and then use the second round to
deal with the bomb!
Repeating the actions that she'd picked out, Izuna pulled the trigger
However——
”Aren't you too naive?”
Even if they were restricted by elstill
exceeded the Werebeasts
In the air, Jibril twisted her body at the bullets fired at close range
The bullet slightly grazed Jibril's clothes, causing it to disappear
Then, the grenade burst and caused an explosion, followed by a flash
Jibrilraised her gun in an attempt to shoot the enemy hidden in the smoke
However, she widened her eyes in surprise
The bullet Izuna had fired——was the third shot
Two shots were fired——the first was to allow Jibril to dodge it
The second bullet was to lure Jibril to throw the flash grenade, then counterattacking
in the flash
And the purpose of the third bullet——
”Heh——eh? Ah, I forget I can't fly!?”
Jibril wanted to flap her wings to dodge, but the wings were onlyin
emptiness
Unable to recover, she was going to get hit by the bullet at her forehead——
But, at that moment
Jibril witnessed——
In the situation where there were no simultaneous plans——Izuna panickedly
looked at the distant outline on the other side of the building
Izuna abruptly——twisted her body, taking the most evasive measure she
could
A bullet penetrated her clothing——disappeared
Then, the second bullet fired from the same direction impacted on Jibril who
was freshly hit by Izuna
——facing the facts, with beast-like reaction
The blow instantly brought Jibril back
(Unless, everything was in the plan, des!?)
Izuna suddenly looked up——
In the place where Izuna broke the , shi+ro was aiun on
Izuna
However——
(I can't be attacked from here, des!)
Just like Jibril
Because of the initial attack, Izuna was forced to dodge, she had no other
counters
——even if their physicalstrength were higher, she couldn't fly
With no foothold to dodge bullets in the air——she had to throay her
main focus to perform that kind of aard movement
This was her limit——she couldn't adjust her position anymore
shi+ro's gun muzzle aimed coldly at her
Fight back? Impossible Avoid? Impossible In that case——
Fire
The bullet that couldn't be avoided——
(——!!)
Izuna bit her teeth, waving her hands upwards
Her second set of clothes flipped to stand in the trajectory of the bullet
Penetrating the kimono, it disappeared
However, the bullet scattered s
”I seeClothes can be used as a shi+eld”
This rule wasn't explained
shi+ro ed to land safely on the
ground
Ied beast
Jibril as hit by the bullet, struck the tarround head first
——A moment ofsilence
But, she slowly got up as if nothing had happened
Then, with heart-shaped eyes, she stared into the distance
”MasterOhhhh my MasterPlease let me stay by your side?”
Jibrilstarted running on the asphalt ground
She was headed to——Sora as sniping from three hundred meters
away
——eleven seconds have passed since the commencement of the battle
”FuuFuuu”
In the warehouse full ofsmoke, shi+ro panted intensely
——even if her movements are as precise as machinery, and she did
calculations that even computers can't replicate Nevertheless her body was
still that of an eleven-year old huirl
Including their physicalstrength, this game directly reflects their own self
Not to mention that shi+ro and her brother were NEETs, they were exhausted
due to their lack of exercise——and their devastating lack of physical
strength
In order to reply as soon as possible, shi+ro relaxed her body, and murmured
out:
”Didn'tFuuhit”
”That isn't shi+ro's fault, compared to that——”
Responding to her was Sora as three hundred meters away
Froot hit by the bullet, 15 seconds had passed
Regaining consciousness over her body that was hugging Sora, Jibril
immediately sent him to shi+ro as in the warehouse
”The state of being unable to manipulate lasts for 15 secondsAnd also
——”
Sora came down to shi+ro's side, and asked Jibril:
”Jibril, you confirmed it?”
”Yes, personally confirmed”
Jibril as leaned on by Sora said:
”Before Master shot, she turned to the direction of Master, no mistakes”
Hearing her report, Sora asked another question
”Well, I
