–To sum things up, it was impossible to burn down ‘Vortigern Castle’.
The devs had learned from their past mistakes it seemed. The castle itself was made an indestructible object and the land it stood on was an unchangeable terrain.
As such, I failed to burn down the castle the same way I did the Pope’s castle, so I had no choice but to enter the castle the normal way with Yario, Crutteruo, and my enemies, Merlin and Alice.
But don’t forget, this was the castle of the prankster Vortigern.
The moment we stepped into the castle, a trap named ‘Forced Teleport’ was triggered and…
“Oeee… I’m so sorry, Yuri-san…!”
“Hey, I told you, don’t mind it,” I said as I ran around the castle with the gothic loli on my back.
Yup, I was now alone with ‘Alice, the Queen of Wrath’. We had been separated from the rest of the party.
By the way, her face was pale as a corpse. Seemed like she hadn’t recovered from getting swept along the rapids and swallowed by the whirlpool.
Her condition might get worse if I were to have her ride Urutaro, so I’d opted to carry her on my back while trying my best not to shake too much.
“Uu… you must hate me after what I did and yet you’re still helping me… if I’m being a burden, you can just leave me behind, okay?” Alice looked really apologetic.
She must be talking about when she had attacked me with Pendragon and Kirika.
But…
“I’m not the kind of person who’d hold a grudge over something like that.
“I killed you in the end anyway, and most importantly, leaving a sick girl alone would leave a bad taste in my mouth. And about you being a burden…”
Using the ‘Arms Barrier’ skill, I fired swords and spears at the giant bats swooping down at us from the air.
The weapons were possessed by Pontaro and the gang, and their power was astonishing. Having evolved, their attack power and homing ability had improved significantly, and they finished off the enemies in the blink of an eye.
“As you can see, I don’t need my hands to fight. You’re not in any way being a burden, so you can rest up as long as you need to.”
“Yuri-san…”
Thank you… Alice muttered as she completely entrusted herself to me without hesitation.
–By the way, my Strength was zero. Although Alice was petite, just carrying her on my back left my arms trembling, and honestly, I was kind of running out of breath. But I’d keep that a secret.
My pride as a man was at stake here, after all…
“In VR or real life, I’m not very athletic… so I’m not really good at controlling my avatar. That’s why I chose a fighting style that lets me overpower my enemies with magic at the cost of having to stand in place.”
“Ah~, the way you fired hundreds of lasers was really insane…”
I see. Figured that broken magic required some price to pay.
“‘You must be cheating!’ I hear that a lot. But I mean, you can pull off the same feat if you just put all your stat points into Magic and limit your HP to 1 point, you know?”
“Yeah~, I know the feeling. Ah, but wouldn’t other games’ skills be sealed during the ‘War of Extinction’ the day after tomorrow?”
If so, Alice wouldn’t have access to her skillset.
As I frowned, she said with a smile, “Don’t worry. By defeating the assassin players, you’ll get materials that you can use to grant your equipment with skills from the game they came from, remember? I’ve killed other players who came from ‘Darkness Soul Online’ like me and got all my skills.”
“You what?!” I turned around and looked at her with a jerk.
She looked just like a timid elementary school girl, but the things she did was quite crazy.
That reminded me, when I had been looking into other games to come up with countermeasures against the assassin players, I’d found that ‘Darkness Soul Online’ was a hard game where newbie hunting was popular.
Pendragon came from the same game, too. It was no wonder Alice was so extreme, I guessed.
“…If that’s the case, Pendragon will be able to fight with her full power during the war. Heh, good. It’s not going to be worth it defeating her otherwise.” I was looking forward to the war all the more.
Beating a weakened opponent was meh. If you wanted to experience catharsis, a full-powered opponent was the only way.
Just imagining what that perfect moment would feel like sent my heart pounding, and Alice giggled. “Hehe, besides being a nice person, I see you really love fighting, Yuri-san. You’re similar to Arata-kun in that sense.”
“Arata? Who’s that?”
“My fiancé.”
Hmm~… wait, her fiancé?!
I turned around and looked at Alice’s face.
…No matter how you sliced it, she looked like a loli. Your face and height were based on your real body in this game, so she should look more or less the same in real life.
“W-wouldn’t that be illegal…?”
“It’s completely legal! While my looks would suggest otherwise, I’m in my 30s, okay?!” Alice-san snapped, her eyes teary. Yup, still looked like a little girl.
“Eeeeeeeeeee… in various senses, eeeeeeeeeeeee…?”
I did remember her saying she was an adult before, but seriously…? She was in her 30s? Looking like this?
Well, regardless of her actual age, that Arata guy gotta be a lolicon. There was no other explanation.
“…Do I really look that childish? I’m going to pay a visit to Arata-kun’s parents’ home sometime next week, I wonder if I should be wearing high heels…”
“Well, I don’t think that’s gonna help much. …Hey, that reminded me, my brother said he’d bring his fiancée with him when he comes back next week.”
“Oh, really? …It can’t be, right?”
“No way, that’d be too much too much of a coincidence, right~?”
What were the odds of meeting your future sister-in-law in some game? Very unlikely, I’d say.
With a wry smile on my face, I imagined what kind of woman my brother—the eldest son of the ‘Nitta’ family would bring home.
