Chapter 105 – 30,000 Miles in Search of Equipment (1)
The sunlight that always signals that the sun has risen shines on my face.
I opened my eyes, frowning in the warm sunlight.
“Umm… Ugh, I fell into a very deep sleep.”
I got up on the bed and stretched as much as I could.
Is it because of the intense night I had with everyone last night?
As soon as I lay down, I closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.
When I opened my eyes, I turned my head and looked around. I had roughly tidied up my surroundings with Lien before going to bed yesterday, but when I woke up in the morning, everything was organized.
Seeing that everyone who was sleeping around me is no longer here, it looks like they got up and cleaned up before me.
I don’t know where they went, but all four of them were not in the room right now.
I got down on the bed and put each piece of equipment on my naked body.
I don’t know where everyone has gone, but I need to think about what to do next.
I thought that with the compass Gaia gave me this time, things in this world would finally be resolved easily, but it turned out to be a development without any dreams or hopes.
No matter how you give it, you will be given the compass you are looking for, including the equipment used by Void.
It was confirmed that Gaia could not really provide proper help.
Now, let’s assume we don’t have any expectations about Gaia, and the compass will find the equipment itself anyway, so should we trust this and look around the entire continent?
In any case, if you travel by Minercia, you will be able to check this while traveling at a much faster speed than the transportation of people around the world.
No, maybe if I search for it with this, I might be able to find Void’s lair?
In fact, the probability of encountering Boyd may be much higher.
I have a feeling that Void’s influence may be spreading throughout this world more than we thought.
It seems that this time, the nobles of the Kingdom of Francia have laid out their magical arms in advance and thought of it as a hand to use when they devour the kingdom later.
Just like in the Kingdom of Francia and the Kingdom of Britinya, the Voids are showing moves to take the kingdom itself into their own hands.
When I think of the Void guys who appeared in Ar’estel, an elf village, I think the name they spoke at that time was Arceus…
They’re probably like their leader.
Although we have clashed with the Void several times, there is still very little information about the Void.
For what purpose is it active, how did it learn about demons, how did it summon demons here, and finally, where did it learn to fuse demons into its own body?
The fusion of demons and humans is, of course, an element that does not exist in games.
There are things like Infector that live on humans, but I don’t remember two creatures fusing into one.
The good news is that the demon that the Void fused with was Bael, a level 90 raid boss.
If you had summoned and fused with the level 95 raid boss Hydra from this dimensional gap, it would have been quite difficult.
Wouldn’t it be better to travel around the continent with a compass, use whatever game items appear, and destroy them when you encounter Void?
If you destroy everything in advance before meeting, you won’t have to worry about the future.
Should I tell everyone?
With that thought in mind, I turned my head around and looked around the room, trying to find a compass, but the compass didn’t catch my eye.
I checked to see if I had put it in my clothes, but that wasn’t the case.
Where did they put it?
Did everyone take it with them?
Seeing that the four people I slept with last night are not here now, I wonder if they went out with the compass.
In times like this, it would be nice if we could send each other whispers.
First, I sent a whisper to Ellie.
‘Ellie, did you go out with everyone? I’ll be waiting for you at the dorm.’
If you send a whisper, it will come on its own.
Then the door I was in opened.
“Oh, master! You’re finally awake. Aren’t you a bit of a sleepyhead? The sun is already high in the sky.”
There Noah opened the door and came in, looking happy.
“Good morning? Should I say it? If it’s midday, is it already lunch time?”
“Not to that extent. It’s true that I was asleep for a long time.”
Noah slowly closed the door, then trudged past me and sat down on the bed.
“Where has everyone gone? I woke up and looked around and there was no one there.”
“Oh, my sisters and Yuria went aboard Minercia to look around her. That compass? We took that.”
No matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find the compass, so I thought maybe everyone had taken it with them, but it seems I was right.
“If you were going to go out, wake me up too. It would have been better if we went together.”
“Lennia also said that, but Ellie and Lien said they should just let the owner sleep, so we decided by majority vote. We decided to go to the nearest equipment around here and come back. The compass “I’m talking about the pointing device. It’s been a while since we left, so we’ll be back soon.”
Is it.
It seems like everyone is planning to check in advance before moving with everyone.
I thought it would be a good idea to wait for everyone, so I went to the bed Noah was sitting on and sat down next to him.
“Hey, master. I’m just asking because I’m curious since you’re not there…”
As I sat down next to him, Noah looked at me and spoke to me in a meaningful voice.
“Huh? What is it, really?”
“I’ve been curious about this for a long time, but no one, including you, knows. Our master gave us the power, right?”
After hearing Noah’s words, I nodded my head, agreeing with what she said.
“Yes?”
I gave it to a game character.
There is no need to say it.
“Then on what basis did you give them this power? Even if I try to find common ground between my sisters and I, I honestly don’t know.”
“The criteria for granting authority?”
Is it finally time to ask this question?
I thought this was one of the questions that would come to me as everyone gradually gathered together.
You might be curious about me too.
I met someone who gave me power in a way I couldn’t imagine, and on what basis did they choose me?
So, I have been thinking about preparing answers to questions that may come up at any time.
“It’s a standard… Of course, the most important thing was how well you could handle that power when you received it. Even if you received power, if you couldn’t use that power 100%, it wouldn’t be efficient. That was the number one priority. .”
Of course it’s a lie.
“Next is humanity. Even if you can exert 100% of your power, you should use that power to defeat demons, but you cannot get drunk on the power of authority and use it to destroy the world. Even if it is not completely good, it is inclined towards evil. People avoided it.”
This too is a lie.
“And to defeat a demon, if there are only people who can fight in close combat, or if there are only wizards, the balance of the party will be lost, right? I chose it while paying as much attention to the balance of party members as possible.”
I spoke to Noah, showing him my hand with my fingers outstretched.
“If you look at the eight people I gave powers to, there will be Ellie, Lien, and Elsha who focus on close combat, Renia and Rachel who focus on long-distance combat, and Noah and Yuria who can both melee and ranged. Lastly, I will give buffs to everyone to strengthen the party members. “Freyja can do it. Like this.”
He told Noah by folding his fingers according to the number of people suited to each fighting style.
Noah is listening to me with such concentration that his eyes are shining.
Of course, what I just said is also a lie.
It’s just a lie that I thought was plausible until now.
I have simply been playing games as a hobby and did not choose anyone to raise me.
I haven’t told anyone about the game yet, and I don’t plan on talking about it.
What is the point of saying something like that?
Actually, I was living a good life, but if someone suddenly told me that the world you live in is actually a virtual space created by a game, you wouldn’t believe it easily, and you wouldn’t want to believe it.
Moreover, if you listen to the stories of the characters I summoned, there are subtle differences from the game.
Considering that I don’t know anything about the game system, which would naturally be the case in an RPG game, I guess it’s just a world as similar to the game as possible.
Noah listens to me and quietly nods and mutters her head.
“Hmm… That’s definitely not wrong. If you look at the people who have received the master’s power, none of them are evil. The power they use is, by our world’s standards, all of them capable of using monstrous power.”
I quietly listened to Noah.
“Then is it because the person who gave the power and then took it away does not meet the standards?”
“Hmm? Oh, right. I wish I knew before giving it to you, but that’s impossible.”
I heard this from Eli as well, but I also heard that there are people who received power from me but then lost that power.
I’ve been thinking that maybe those are characters that I just took levels for collection purposes and then deleted.
“Of course, if the person who received the master’s power has a bad mind, he could destroy a country at any time. It should be given carefully. Just looking at the people in our guild, they are only thinking of saving the world by fighting demons with the power of the power. “No one used it to realize their own desires.”
I wanted this situation.
This is a situation where if you give an appropriate reason, you will understand it on your own.
Now, Noah is convincing me of the appropriate lies I told.
“Then why are most of them women? Perhaps… Was it the owner’s preference? It’s not that there weren’t men, including those who gained and then lost their powers, but most of them were women?”
“That may have been a bit selfish on my part, but it is also true that women were actually able to use their powers better than men.”
Of course it’s a lie.
Most people who play RPG games probably think about and develop their own characters.
So in general, men raise a lot of women.
Doesn’t it feel good to express your character by putting on a pretty avatar?
Because I was a typical person, I raised mostly female characters.
Of course, it’s a bad thing for me now that I came up with an insanely strange name as a joke.
