Chapter 263 – #2-26 Magical Girl Passion (1)
It’s only been 10,000 days since I ran away from the casino area.
I was walking aimlessly in the wilderness, having escaped from the pursuit of a cool-looking bike that had been pursuing me at a speed unimaginable on Earth.
Anyway, the power of the 〈 bunny girl costume 〉 was amazing, so I was able to safely run away from the monsters pursuing me.
Literally, I experienced what talto is without lacking in this one body.
However, even if the pursuers were barely separated, 〈 Super Dimension Tool 〉 was completely discharged and it seemed that it would take some time to use it again.
“Dan-ae, that guy… Could it be that he moved separately to leave everything to me…?”
“If you realized that now, I would be amazed. Is your head empty beyond decoration? Or has the level fallen that much?”
Something I don’t like very much.
All in all, my only current companion is this water golem I don’t like.
Water Golem Pandol.
A very cheeky temporary familiar created by Ade, an aristocrat of 【Water City】.
Through Pandoli, you can communicate with Ade in real time, and in addition, there is a rough navigation function that guides you where to go right away.
At first, I thought, “I have to be alone with this guy, the worst, the worst, the worst,” But he unexpectedly helped me when I was wandering aimlessly, not knowing where to go after breaking up with Danae.
“But is this the right way? The sun is already setting. I don’t have the equipment or points to be homeless, so what am I going to do!”
“Ah, proof! Didn’t I say I was right! How many times are you asking? Could you please take me to the desert, the exact opposite of the city?”
No.
Actually, I wondered if this guy was dragging me there to get me into trouble.
I’m asking because I’m worried about that, son of a bitch.
After all, he’s a golem with no trust.
‘Ha. My plans all went awry. That bad ass It’s like the head of a Mio mouse.’
I gritted my teeth as I recalled a face that looked more like a real mouse than a mouse there.
Originally, I tried to get a suitable vehicle in the casino area and move to the next residential area or city, but in the end I had no choice but to walk on my own two feet like this.
I’d rather use the 〈 Point Shop 〉 to buy the bike, but I wanted to keep the points in case I didn’t know.
Above all, I don’t think I can drive properly without a driver’s license.
In addition, it is not acceptable to die in a car accident in a different world far away from home.
“Can’t you see it well? Are you over there?”
“Yes? …Five!”
And.
Across the wilderness, a residential area finally began to be seen where people live.
* * *
C-Ah!
A voice was heard. What is this sound?
Anyway, just like I saw in the city of Qual, I wandered aimlessly down the rather unsophisticated streets.
A sparsely dug road. Dirty alley. Profanity and vulgar voices coming from somewhere.
It was dark, so it was difficult to see, but the fact that the road was already dark at this time seemed to indicate that this area was quite backward.
“It’s like this even though the technology has advanced so much.”
The question he had already had in the city of Qual was put into his mouth again.
Right after experiencing such a splendid and luxurious casino district, the gap with this run-down street was very close.
“I can’t help it. It costs money to maintain and manage the monsters of [Mekrak], And they also need to replenish their magic power. A city without the management of a [Noble] Can be seen as a lawless area beyond imagination.”
However, because of that, Pandori firmly warned them to be more careful.
“It’s especially dangerous if you find out that you’re a woman. Be careful not to get caught, and it’s best to stay out of sight. Never make a fuss. Even locals are dangerous, much less, as an outsider, you might become the prey of the whole city.”
“…It’s dangerous. I just wanted to run away.”
Unbeknownst to me, my shoulders were shaking.
〈 Hyperdimension Tool 〉 is only charged to a thread, and in its current state I can barely deal with two or three monsters.
Indeed, if all the people in the district rushed to grab me, I would surely be stranded and dragged away without even knowing a mouse or a bird.
But that can’t be.
“I can never go on foot to [City of Pleasure] From here. Got it? If you don’t use a vehicle, you might end up in a guest house on the road, and above all, if something happens in the capital in the meantime, it’s a total disaster. I said I don’t have time.”
“I get it, I get it.”
For the sake of future work, I have to find a lodging that no one will see.
I don’t have time, but it’s dangerous to go out without 〈 Super Dimension Tool 〉, so I wanted to wait until it was charged so that I could use it for 15 minutes… No, even 10 minutes.
“Does that hotel look good over there?”
When I looked in the direction Pandoli pointed, a hotel that looked useless and luxurious appeared.
It looks like a contrast with the messy streets that are all crumbling. When I looked around, only the area around this hotel, which was right in the center of the district, was barely clean and had a sophisticated feel.
A drone that appeared to be a surveillance camera was also roaming around the hotel 24 hours a day.
“Isn’t it nice? Let’s go over there! As a noble Adenim’s servant, it’s a bit low for me to use it, but I’ll tolerate it to this extent.”
“No.”
“What?!”
Pandori’s proposal to drink a bowl of kimchi soup was cut down with a single knife.
It looks expensive even if you look at it!
I’m still in the middle of a mission without a deadline, and there is a limit to the budget I’ve been paid.
Unless you’re going to die tomorrow, you can’t afford this luxury.
“You must have received a lot though! Salty!”
“Shut up! Shut up! Sleep is the same no matter where you sleep!”
“Not at all the same! You should think better of yourself!”
“What is my position!”
“Are you stupid enough to say that?! Don’t you look in the mirror?! Do I have to say this out of my mouth to burst into flames?!”
“…”
No, honestly, I know what that means.
Of course, for such an expensive hotel, it will be well-maintained, and above all, it is safe.
If I were to find out that I was a woman, I might be able to get some rest without any worries.
But.
I’ve said it before.
Emphasized over and over again.
I am a petit bourgeois.
“If I paid my own money to stay in such an expensive hotel, I would never be able to sleep! I’d rather sleep in a run-down room full of bugs!”
“Have you seen this beggar’s guts?! How pitiful!”
“You can curse at me! I know I’m pathetic, but what can I do! I am a petit bourgeois who is more comfortable with ramen and kimchi than expensive French cuisine!”
Eventually, after quarreling with Pandol, I finally headed to the outskirts of the area, which looked more insidious and dangerous.
The reason is, I thought that if I was in a place like this, I would definitely be able to use the cheapest facility.
Never.
In particular, it is an act that a weak woman, no, even a strong man should never do, but after experiencing various things, I was led by an indescribable boldness and boldness.
‘I did disguise myself though.’
No matter how boldly she raised her head for no reason, it was a little awkward walking around that city in an outfit that looked like a 【Magical Girl】 even at first glance.
In the end, I used 〈 Point Shop 〉 to pay small points and buy clothes for disguise.
She wore a tight leather top and pants that held her body tight, and a large robe-like hood was draped over them.
If you close the front tightly, the lines of your body won’t show through, and because of the sandy wilderness, there are many residents who wear it secretly, so it doesn’t seem to be more noticeable than I thought.
It feels a bit stuffy, but I can just take it off after entering the room.
“Oh, and the head, too.”
It would be comfortable if I cut my long hair like a man, but there is no way I can cut it properly by myself in the first place.
I was thinking about what to do, but with the help of Pandol, I somehow managed to hide it under the bread hat I additionally purchased at 〈 Point Shop 〉.
How can you get so much help from this unlucky Pandol?
You really never know what will happen in the world.
“Are you okay with this?”
“…I see. Closely… Um.”
Pandol had a dissatisfied expression on his face, but he said he was fine anyway.
I took Pandoli in my arms and walked cautiously down the dark street.
* * *
I don’t know if it’s quiet at all, but the street was noisy here and there.
Even in the alleyway, there were monsters like a rogue boat who laughed while drinking, but rather than being particularly scary, I felt a little relieved that there were people.
How should I say, is it because I think it’s better than disappearing without even knowing the mice?
‘In the first place, they’re all my enemies.’
Those guys are invaders over the earth.
And she is a magical girl who protects the earth, and is the ultimate prey to them.
He flew all the way from Earth to here with his bare body, and somehow, after many twists and turns, ended up going among the residents like this.
It’s a complicated mindset in many ways.
“What do you think? It’s quiet.”
“No, nothing. …Ah.”
After I got out of my deep thoughts in Pandoli’s words, I found a building that looked like an inn.
The first floor seems to be a restaurant, and above that is a cheap inn about 4 to 5 stories high.
The old, shabby exterior walls looked messy with the paint peeling off, but it didn’t look like they would collapse any time soon.
However, there was also a dark and shady atmosphere that was difficult for people to approach.
“…No way. Probably not I’m sorry. Hopefully over there.”
“Okay, let’s go in. It’s perfect. I think it will be cheap.”
“Are you sure?!”
Whether Pandol was surprised or not, I went inside the inn regardless.
[Hello.]
When I opened the front door and entered, the robot standing at the counter greeted me with a recorded voice.
The inside was surprisingly not that different from the outside.
Still, the minimum level of hygiene seems to be maintained, but there is no obvious dirt, but when it gets stuck here and there, or above all, the indescribable gloomy atmosphere warns of danger as if poked with a needle.
[Do you want to check in? It is ■■ for one night, and we can reduce the price if you stay consecutively. Regarding meals and other items――]
“(Are you thinking about it again! This is really not true! Doesn’t it smell like danger?!)”
When I came in, I was like that too.
No, what can I say, I came in with a spirit as if adrenaline was pouring, but after seeing the reality, I think it calmed down a bit… Should I say that a lot of fear or anxiety that I hadn’t thought about before came over me.
Anxiety that there would be an accident if I really stayed in a place like this came over me, and it sent chills down my spine.
However, according to the explanation of that robot, the price is cheaper than I thought.
The facilities don’t seem too bad.
Thinking like that, it was a bit wasteful to just leave.
‘What should I do…?’
I crossed my arms and twisted my head in thought.
What should I do?
Would you rather stay?
Or just turn around and go back…?
