Chapter 9 – I Decide My 3 Genders (4)
Sometimes.
When playing gacha games, there are times when popular characters are removed in the form of limited pickups.
For example, a swimsuit.
For example, a wedding dress.
For example, a bunny girl.
For example, the traditional clothes of that country.
In some cases, it is sold as a skin for an existing character, or in other cases, it is sold as a completely different character.
P.A.O. Sold both of these.
Character skins are created by changing the sprite or cutscene of an existing character.
Limited characters are released as new characters with completely different skillsets and performance.
-You crazy people! It costs twice as much!
-So you’re not buying it?
-Keep acting like that! All you have to do is chase until your wallet is stolen!
In the end, both were defeated.
The former is just a hanger and the latter is performance, but I ended up paying for both.
-It doesn’t affect performance at all, so why use it?
-Are you not using your skin? As I live in this world, I hear people asking me why I buy skins in a beautiful girl game. Then why do you wear rags and a bikini when playing the luxury restaurant game?
-That’s the default skin!!
No matter what people say, I did both.
Pretty is performance, and the latter even has better performance, so what’s wrong with focusing on that?
If it’s pretty, it’s performance.
If the performance is good, it is pretty.
That was actually the case.
Just.
Now that it has become a reality, the story is different in this world.
-Wow, you’re going to conquer the labyrinth wearing that? It’s either payoen or a bitch.
-That woman wearing a swimsuit and a tube to conquer the labyrinth…Is she serious?
-Stop running the labyrinth raid with Bunny Boy’s party…!
Skins are the prettiest and most beautiful when they are games.
The moment it becomes a reality, both the person who was told to wear it and the person who enters the labyrinth will have their brains crushed.
But I am different.
Bunny Girl’s Knights.
This is a group of knights that actually existed in the in-game setting, and there was a party that attacked the labyrinth wearing a bunny girl costume.
I just try to imitate that.
And they just want to use Rouge’s notoriety to hide the power of the Bunny Girl Knights.
“What is it like?”
“Hmm… “
Laura frowned with a serious expression on her face, then looked at me with a wide smile.
“I decline!”
“…”
I was criticized.
Why?
Maybe you don’t like luge?
It can’t be.
Even though he has an angry face, he is quite handsome – a face that is better than me in real life – but are you really looking for a face that is more handsome than me?
“I understand the Count’s favor, but I don’t think I’m ready to be called by him yet.”
“What?”
“I’m just an ordinary adventurer. To put it in terms of the rank among adventurers… I’m nothing more than a chick. Dare I say that I’m far below the level of the Count’s knights…”
“…”
“So one day, when I become stronger and become a famous adventurer, would you please call me then?”
“Huh.”
It won’t work.
“You don’t understand what I’m saying.”
“…Yes?”
Now that this has happened, I have to show the power of power.
“I’m not recruiting you. I’m giving you an ‘order’.”
Laura’s expression began to harden.
At the same time, Bernhard’s complexion also hardened.
“There are two ways for you. One is to quietly join my knighthood. And the other is to leave this city.”
“W-Where is that thing…” “?!”
“There is in Fermaton. And I am Permaton.”
Youngju So went crazy.
Yeah, I’m crazy now.
‘Am I going to miss my death flag here?’
The protagonist will gather a party, and among those gathered at the party will be other Fermatons, and eventually they will kill me.
So even if Laura shows signs of dislike, I need to at least force her to be mine.
“Little Lord. No matter what, as a guild leader, I can’t get away with doing something like that to an adventurer.”
“Why?”
“Adventurers are free beings. Even though they are called Counts…”
If you cross the line any further, I will not remain silent.
They are issuing such warnings, but this is a matter of life.
“Didn’t you understand what I meant? I’m telling you to stop being an adventurer and become a member of our count family. Then the adventurer’s logic will no longer apply.”
“But Miss Laura herself hasn’t decided yet. She’s still an adventurer.”
“But she’s the woman I like.”
From here, without retreating, we head out to Noppa-gu.
“I want to keep you close to me and check whether or not you are suitable as a member of Fermaten.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
Bernhard’s expression gradually began to change.
It seems like he’s slowly realized the true meaning behind my words and the reason why that bastard Rouge is so obsessed with one woman.
“Why should I say more? I don’t mean to say it carelessly in a place where there are a lot of people, but do you two need to talk separately?”
“Oh, no. If that’s the case, I can completely understand.”
“Hey, guild leader?!”
Laura was shocked and surprised.
The guild leader who was on her side just a moment ago suddenly started defending me, so Laura must have been very embarrassed.
“Miss Laura. This might be a good opportunity. All Miss Laura can do now is mine for magic stones in the coal mine. Rather than that, maybe it would be better to start at the count’s house.”
“B-but… “
“Okay. I’ll make a hundred concessions and give up the bunny girl.”
It’s a lie.
“But you cannot give up, Miss Laura. I will formally invite you to the count’s house.”
“Well, I’m just an ordinary rookie adventurer…”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a rookie adventurer. “What matters is whether you liked me or not.”
This is the newbie I picked.
“Trust me and follow me. I will make you the strongest in Fermaten.”
“Uh, over there… “
Laura still couldn’t answer as she looked at me.
“…Well, I know I’m not in a position to dare to do that. Can I tell you one condition…?”
“Good.”
Laura.
Conditions for the player to speak.
This is also related to her her her her ‘dream’her her.
“…I want to see the end of the infinite labyrinth.”
“The end?”
“Yes. I’m curious about what’s at the end. Is it really an infinite labyrinth? And…What will be the end of the infinite labyrinth.”
Some people think it is a treasure.
Some people think that it is an all-powerful lamp that grants all wishes.
‘Even if you get to the end, there is only a temporary boss mob.’
I’ve seen systemic endings in-game, but people here are different.
Infinite Labyrinth.
The name ‘Infinite’ is meaningless because it goes endlessly, and only about the 50th floor of the Infinite Labyrinth has been completed.
Why is it still on the 50th floor even though hundreds of years have passed?
This is because the seal going down to the 50th floor has not been released, and you are eventually transported to another 50th floor by taking the transfer door that is trying to go down to the 50th floor.
You can go up normally, but you cannot continue down.
It is a series of 50 floors that repeat infinitely, but after someone conquers the 50th floor, the floors below the 50th floor begin to open.
That’s the main character, Laura.
She has a sense of purpose to conquer the Infinite Labyrinth externally, and her sense of purpose to conquer the Infinite Labyrinth on a regular basis gradually began to flow out as a piece of cake as her story progressed.
Let’s start with the conclusion.
-Isn’t this the final boss, a character of a different gender than the player character?
No matter how much I am, I know enough about rice cakes.
And, as is the case with many things, I was able to figure out some decent things among the pieces of cake tangled in the infinite labyrinth.
If you play as a male character, her younger sister is the final boss.
If you play as a female character, her brother is the final boss.
Although opinions were divided about her actual identity, Laura is a key figure in conquering Fermaten’s Infinite Labyrinth.
“Others may say that this skill is nonsense, but anyone can dream. So…I want to see the end of the infinite labyrinth.”
“Do you simply want to see the end?”
If you look at it from someone else’s perspective, it’s nothing short of arrogant.
But if you understand her background, it’s a different story.
“No. It’s not like that. It’s just… There’s a rumor that there is a ‘God’s Jewel’ that can grant any wish once you reach the end of the Infinite Labyrinth.”
“That’s just a rumor.”
It’s true.
“But wouldn’t such a rumor have spread because there actually was such a thing? I mean… “
“What if there is such a thing?”
“…If I have the chance to make a wish even once, would you give me one chance?”
“What is your wish?”
“That’s… “
I can’t speak.
I can only guess about the specific wish, and I don’t know what she wants.
“Well, that’s good. I can grant at least one wish. Even if it’s a wish that the jewel of the God of the Infinite Labyrinth cannot grant, I will grant it as many times as I can.”
It could be the end of the infinite labyrinth.
It could be that they are trying to eliminate the person who created the infinite labyrinth.
“Rejoice, Laura. I will make your wish come true.”
But what is clear is…
“It looks like your current strength is not enough. That’s good. Fermaten will help. So, you too, help Fermaten with the work.”
“…Yes, I understand. Lord So.”
Laura stood up and saluted me with the manners of a knight.
“…But, Lord So.”
“Why?”
“Bunny girl… Are you kidding?”
“…Don’t worry, Miss Laura.”
I sipped my tea lightly.
“I’ll make it possible for you to conquer the infinite labyrinth even while wearing bunny girl clothes.”
A bunny girl can’t give up.
