“Despite saying those things, you could do what you have to do splendidly; it is plainly getting on my nerves.”
The true nature of this world is a game.
“But there is a reward for all those works. And the fact that we were able to catch that many bad guys is worth celebrating! Let’s end the day here and raise a toast!”
That is to say, there are ‘main characters’ in this world, there are events related to them, and there are stories spun around them.
All of them only occur in the presence of the protagonist (player), and conversely, the stories don’t occur in the place where the protagonist isn’t around. The events won’t occur.
The ones who change the world are the ‘main characters’, and the things that progress the world are events and stories, so unless those things take place, the state of affairs at that point will continue as if time had stopped.
Because that is the basic principle of games, this world is surely the same.
“By the way, I heard that you two are saving up points to revive. I personally think that lives must not be made light of and I cannot agree with the revival of the dead, but… still, I think it is a pity that your hot and intense ‘heat’ are lost from the world. Excessive ‘heat’ is poisonous, but without it, the world would become a boring place.”
I, ‘Sakurai Tōru (mob character)’ is not a protagonist. The protagonist is a boy named ‘Amanai Hayato’, the stories won’t progress in a place absent of him.
Not to mention the ‘Netherworld’ event, which will only be triggered when the number of exchanges and favorable impression to the protagonist reach a certain threshold – it definitely won’t start.
I thought so from the bottom of my heart, and that was why I did nothing apart from leveling diligently and merrily. Being able to concentrate on just that was extremely pleasant.
“Once, I was brought by my uncle, Anubis-sama, to the world of the living. Even to this day, I still remember the ‘heat’ of the living people I saw at that time and the warmth of the world it creates. To support that warmth, I am sure that fierce ‘heat’ like yours is necessary. That is why, I secretly root for you two, you know?”
Sitting at a table in the outside of a bar.
Iris-san said so without embarrassment while being tipsy and with a liquor in her hand.
Hearing that, Higaki said with a wry smile, “We’re not such prominent people”, and I thought at that time, ‘come to think of it, there was an episode like that’, remembering a memory from my previous life.
If the protagonist isn’t present, the event won’t occur.
Thinking about it now, it must be because I baselessly believed so that I couldn’t move until it was over.
“——!? Iris-san, dodge!!”
Even in the moment when an unknown person suddenly landed between us pierced Iris-san’s abdomen with a golden spear.
Even when Higaki who pulled out her sword in response was blown into the inside of the bar by the counterattack of the unknown person.
“Gh!? Higaki-sa……ng!? Sakurai…run…!!”
Even when Iris was still worrying about us despite being confused about what happened to herself.
“——Huh?”
And even when that unknown person picked up Iris-san, who still had a spear sticking into her, and took her to the ‘Tower’ with a jump.
I was just, just staring at all of it in a daze.
The event that happened before my eyes was a scene I saw many times in my previous life, and I could immediately understand what was happening and who the attacker was.
However, I couldn’t understand why it was happening.
After the daze, come bewilderment, and all I do is tilting my head, continuing to look up at Iris-san, who is getting smaller and smaller.
While the surrounding people who noticed the turmoil suddenly make a ruckus and move about as they please, I wonder what will happen after this.
I don’t know the reason, but the main event of ‘Netherworld’ in the original work has started.
The ‘Tower’ where the assailant escaped to will be blocked soon after this, and it will become impossible for me to earn points for revival.
I wonder what I should do in this situation I’m dragged into whether willing or not.
The hunting ground, namely the ‘Tower’, will becomes unavailable due to the assailant.
The efficiency of leveling in this stage will be reduced by several levels.
When my thought reaches up to that point, spontaneously, anger seethes me, and hatred for the assailant who leapt into the sky and ran away, swells.
“——Sakurai!!”
It’s the voice of Higaki who was blown away and is coming out of the bar that cools down my head.
The pressure of her gaze that is looking at me even while bleeding and having a great number of splinters piercing her shoulders, suppresses the heat that boiled in me.
“What are you doing! Let’s chase them!!”
“No, we won’t be able to catch up with them anymore.”
“Then what the heck are you going to do in a place like this!!”
Being grabbed by the collar, I’m slammed into a nearby wall.
I perceive regret, anger, and impatience mixed in the anguished face right in front of me——there, I finally realized the mistakes that I did.)
(Even though this part of me kept getting scolded by Iris-san…)
However, I don’t think I can change myself that easily.
Therefore, without looking away from Higaki’s blaming eyes and without shaking off the powerful and oppressive grip holding my collar, I draw a blueprint about the future in my head.
Then, letting out a long exhale once, I quietly declare to Higaki.
“Isn’t that obvious?”
In front of the glaring Higaki, I stare at the sky and mutter,
“I’m thinking of the best way to save Iris-san.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
