Chapter 67 (2/2)

”Hmmm…”

I used Cyber-Manipulation on one of the servers It held nothing but player data

I was quite certain this here they did the overall drasia, but there was no sign of anything rese the all-i sent from here Perhaps this was just a layover spot, and the main system of the militarized avatars were somewhere else?

There was awith a whole fifteen floors, was a facility of this size even enough to bridge the gap between di system were also set up in the other locations on my list of suspects, the 4th and the 7th research centers?

In which case, perhaps this facility really was only used for connecting the game to the other world What should I do…

”Maybe I should just destroy it”

I looked at the superco how I'd do this Then my rabbit ears picked up a faint noise

”Mmm? Is somebody there?”

It was the sleepy voice of a wouards on the upper floors, but I'd left the the their job

The habits froh, despite my lack of need for respiration

Fine then If I was discovered, then I had no choice There was a bit of distance between us, and I didn't want to waste htly released the lid on my presence and quietly turned around

The woht of irl in a white parka and deni somewhat suspicious Then the little bit of presence I released took her by surprise She gasped, her face twitching fiercely

I pulled th about 40 centimeters, from its black-lacquered scabbard I silently closed our distance The redhead wo a white lab coat and a pair of glasses, was shocked silent She sank to the floor, apparently too scared to even stand

Thank you You're a nice person You didn't screaic

I looked down on her and put on a s so wide they looked like they'd fall out at any moment

”…the Dark Bunny Lady…?”

”…what?”

The hell is that? I kneas called the Dark Lady, but Dark Bunny Lady? What were they thinking?

Her words were so out of left field I couldn't help but stare at her face The rabbit ears behind my head slipped out of the hood a bit The woman beamed

”Aaaahh, it's really you! I can't believe I' the Lady Bunny here! This is the best day of my life! Do you know I've filled my rooe every day—ow that's cold!”

I blew a bit ofher impassioned word vomit She shi+vered as if someone had just poured ice water on her

”Explain”

”Y-yes…”

Her name was Jennifer She wasn't exactly a researcher of the 12th research center, but rather one of the people ame

Jennifer had also personally joined the MMORPG World of Yggdrasia as a player She knew about how the other world was real, and how I had come back to Earth and killed a facility's staff members

But she still loved the idea of a real-life Dark Lady Apparently she'd bought every single kind of prooods related to me

She was also the person who'd developed the backdoor progra si a way to contact me She pleaded withon the gaone, she wouldn't be able to join the game anymore

”I see… any other last words?”

”W-aitwaitpleasewait! I can be useful to you, my Lady, even here or on the other side too! You have soht?! I'll help!”

Jennifer stared ateyes I scowled, but took some time to think

True, if I had sos of the corporation to help, it'd saveon the day right after such a hugeher

Oh well, I could just erase her if she turned out to be ht suspect you, you know?”

”It's fine! It's already ti a vacation starting froot kidnapped by the Dark Lady!”

”Uht…”

I didn't think the corporation was that naive anway, but well, if she's willing

After that, after Jennifer finished her weird performance in the security room devoid of any other people and clocked out for the day, we left for the underground parking lot and got into her second-hand car The two of us headed for my next destination: the 4th research center
