chapter 85
85 – Midterms (3)
Even during the midterms, there was no break from hunting monsters.
When the dungeon disappears, the number of monsters decreases, but there are monsters that remain.
If the population is too large, the frequency of attacking people increases, and it is a system that causes people to become disabled or even die. It could be interpreted similarly to ferocious wild animals.
‘Well…The death toll continues to rise.’
I muttered while checking the news.
Death by rapid heart attack was only published as a small obituary. The death of a person is not something that is reported on the news.
The last train runaway incident was enough to be reported on the news, but the rest were not. It was too irritating for the media to deal with.
Well… The cops were a little different. There was an investigation focusing on the occurrence of death or debilitating death due to a heart attack only in Emosh*ta. However, the police did not know the existence of the other world. Naturally, the investigation was sluggish.
‘Are you saying we have to do it after all…’
sh*t. It was a shame to do it myself. Why does the fate of the world depend on caterpillars? Could a high school student be compelled to save the world?
Anyway, I had to reduce the number of monsters while hunting today.
“Everyone!! It’s an emergency call!! The militia is dispatched!!!”
I immediately pretended to ring the bell.
“Uhhhhh. What kind of militia are you?”
Taiga said as he brought the baseball bata.
“Oops!! It’s a monster hunt!!!”
Umi immediately woke up with her eyes shining.
“Umi. Did you always like monster hunting that much?”
I asked Umi.
Umi…Had no sense of mission to save people from monsters.
Originally, Umi was a little different. She was a classic heroine who was saved by the player from a near-death crisis and was overcome with a sense of mission to help the player.
However, things went awry because of my intervention. I was just doing activities with a light heart that I was just doing club activities. Well, I don’t have any complaints because I’m good at the role of healer.
“Huh? Ahh… Do you feel like monster hunting became fun after studying for the exam?”
Said Umi.
You know what. It is fun to clean the room during the exam period. It was a kind of escape from reality.
“It’s nice! Take a walk!”
Umi was already eagerly pulling out her staff.
“That, yes…”
Well, it’s good to be motivated when it’s something you have to do. I decided to think of it that way.
At that time, Eri asked.
“By the way, I can’t get a feel for your club activities. What are you doing?”
Eri asked, tilting her head.
“Huh? Ah…”
“Taiga always carries a baseball bat, Umi also carries a strange cane, and Shota carries a sword, too? Isn’t he committing a crime or something?”
Eri stared at us.
“Besides, you said the word ‘monster’. What is that?”
Eri looked straight at me. This… I thought it would be a big problem if I didn’t answer properly.
Umi and Taiga immediately looked at me. Yare yare. Am I in charge of the tour?
“That… Actually, we’re doing a situational play. It feels like a party of warriors dealing with monsters.”
I said so.
“Ah. Kindergarteners and elementary school students? My younger siblings are like that sometimes.”
Eri immediately agreed.
“Yeah. It’s a bit like I can’t graduate from this game even when I’m old, so I’m secretly playing it late at night.”
I said moderately.
Eri was simpler than I thought. First of all, he was the owner of a good heart who believes and listens to the man he likes.
“Well, Shota has a childlike side. That’s why kids play well, too.”
Eri said with a chuckle.
“Ah. Since the kids are doing it… How’s everyone doing?”
I immediately changed the topic naturally. I showed my talent for depressing unfavorable topics without hesitation.
“Yeah. Everyone keeps asking me when you’re coming.”
Eri said with a chuckle.
“I’ll be there soon.”
I said so.
“Yes. Let’s play together again.”
Eri said.
Like that, after creating a warm atmosphere, our party immediately went off to hunt monsters.
——–
Central Park, a fixed meeting place.
There Sasitth was swinging his arm.
“Suddenly, mosquitoes started appearing.”
Sasitth clicked his tongue and said. He looked like he had already been bitten a few times.
“Since it’s May now… Shall we change the gathering place?”
I said so.
Gathering at my house…It was kind of like that. Affection with girlfriends is like privacy. It was a bit like that when I got caught.
“Shall we go to Sasit’s house? You’re on your own.”
I said so.
“That… I don’t like it.”
Sasiceth said.
“Why?”
There shouldn’t be anything unusual about the player’s house in the game. It was perfect for an azit.
“Absolutely hate it!!!”
Sasitth shouted loudly.
What is it? Do you have something at home? I was a little bit suspicious.
But it can’t be helped that he hates it. Because everyone has privacy.
“Ah…Wouldn’t there be a good hideout somewhere?”
It would be nice if it was somewhere like the headquarters of the Earth Defense Force in a special film. It’s okay to go to places like club clubs.
“Ah! The Soul Room! It’s fine there. But… Umi and Taiga can’t enter.”
I clicked my tongue in regret. The only ones who can see the soul chamber are me and the Sash*ts.
“Did you think of occupying it calmly… Then you really are a permanent van.”
Sasiceth said.
“What do you think? I’ll forgive you right away.”
I said calmly.
“You have a mindset that is satisfied with occupying anything and playing a game…. Were your ancestors barbarians?”
Sasitth said too much depending on what you heard.
Anyway, I decided to think about the hideout later. When you meet in a forest like this in midsummer, mosquitoes have a party. Really.
——–
We started hunting monsters according to our routine.
“Ughhhhh!!!”
I immediately summoned Pinocchio and held it like a shield.
“Shield Push!!!”
Right after that, I swung Pinocchio and smashed the skeleton soldier in front. It was about headbutting the monster, but Pinocchio didn’t even scream anymore. He is accustomed to suffering.
Pajajajajaja-!!!
Thanks to his rapid jump to level 24, his strength increased considerably. Originally, even a technique intended to break one’s posture was sufficiently powerful. The Skeleton Soldier immediately turned into crispy powder and scattered. This guy must have been a daughter. His bones were all gone.
“Ughhhhh!!”
Right after that, I swung my sword.
Pusha Sa Sa Sa Sa Sa Sak -!!
The red light unique to the magic sword tomato was cast like a ray of light as the sword moved.
The sword broke through the bodies of the skeleton soldiers on the front. Originally, the guy who would die in two shots was now one cut. He didn’t even have to exchange sword strikes. The feeling of getting stronger was confirmed.
“Krurrorruck!!”
Before long, other skeleton soldiers ran towards us. There were many.
“Sacits!!! I have to test the newly created psychorobo!! Weakness is hitting!!”
I said, holding up Pinocchio to block the attack.
Like a tanker, I drove the mob nicely. Now it was possible to clean up in one blow by using only a wide area.
“Come out!! Woowang No. 799!!!!!”
Sasitth immediately took out the Psycho Robo. It was a powerful Psycho Robo that could be said to be Hoeta’s reward for winning the Duel Tournament.
“Uooooo!!!!!”
A monster in the shape of a cow with half a mechanical body popped out. It was always cheap.
“Gigant Punch!!!!”
Sacits immediately activated a high-level strike-type physics technique.
Woo woo woo woo woo !!!
Wuwang 799 immediately swung a huge fist.
At the same time as the martial arts were driven from the fist, the martial arts passed straight through, smashing the skeleton soldiers in front.
Kwaaang-!!!!!!!
Skeleton soldiers were scattered as powder with it.
It’s f*cking strong. I also realized that this game is a psychorobo suck.
“Ceee.”
Bamsim came right away.
I had to wield the sword one stitch at a time to get rid of the monsters, but Sasitth just digested a cow, and the monsters were sorted out. This is a disparate society.
“Sacits. Would you like to get a good Psycho Robo?”
A crooked word came out of my mouth.
“Why are you filled with jealousy again?”
Sasitth said with a puzzled expression.
“Ehh. Yes. My son-in-law. My son-in-law who has to fight with a piece of burning garbage like this!!!!!”
I cried out loud.
At that time, Pinocchio jumped out.
“Zuin-nim!! If I do this, wouldn’t I look like that Psycho Robo?”
Pinocchio said with two twigs placed on his head.
Certainly, it looked like a cow’s horn.
“Even if it’s not Ooh 799…Wouldn’t it be Ooh 001?”
Said Pinocchio.
“Why do you overestimate yourself as a positive number? You are Woowang-3000.”
I said so. Where are you sneaking up on yourself?
“It’s too much!!!”
Pinocchio immediately exclaimed loudly.
“By the way, when did you hit level 24? You were 20 before then.”
Taiga said.
“What…Talent? Something like that.”
That’s how I got around it. If I said that I was using lucid dream training in my dreams, it would be dismissed as normal nonsense.
“It’s unlucky to say things like that yourself… But Shota has talent. My dad always praises him.”
Said Umi.
“Thanks to Shota, it’s helpful. While Shota blocks enemies from the front, I can focus on summoning the Psycho Robo.”
Sasice patted me on the shoulder and said.
“Ayu~ Praise from our leader! It just seeps into my heart!! Ehehehe!”
I immediately went into cringe mode for the Sassets.
“Wow… Gross.”
Umi gave me a cold, salty look. Don’t go home later.
“Really. I wish they were so polite to us.”
Taiga said with a smile.
Anyway, after a rough hunt, we went home.
Pitching-!
As I was about to return home, I felt a chill behind me. Someone was breathing life into me.
I immediately turned my head. However, there was no one behind.
“Huh? Why Grain?”
Umi asked me.
“……No. Nothing.”
I shook my head.
“I set the mood again for no reason. Even if I don’t do that… It’s cool.”
It was Taiga who was talking in a tone that made fun of me as usual, but then suddenly threw a breaking ball and made me happy.
“Taiga! Where did you learn such pretty words!”
I smiled and immediately hugged Taiga.
“Uhhhhh. I don’t know.”
Taiga was acting cute and kissing me.
“Oops… I lost.”
Umi clicked her tongue in anger.
How are you? I guess it’s because of my mood. With that thought in mind, I went home with both Umi and Taiga. And just like that, another day would end.
