Chapter 24
Chapter 24
Around a minute of waiting for Shuuya-san.
The person who brought it was a female player taller than him.
When she appeared with a suspecting face, when she saw my face, her expression brightened up and, from that action, I was somewhat able to guess who she really is.
「Nana-oneesama!」
「Okay, stop. Your player name is?」
「Its Touka!」
「Netiquette........yeah, you really are Touka-chan」
The female player that was about to pounce on me was Touka-chan as I had thought.
I thought about it this morning too but she sure is Tall. You are free to change your avatar’s height but, as long as you aren’t used to VR that much you won’t be able to keep your balance, a lot of players use their real height for that reason.
That’s why, to Touka-chan who has a big height difference, that will become her charm point.
But it seems that she changed her looks quite a bit, especially her blonde hair and blue eyes from her RL body into black haired red eyes.
Her race is...a normal human race is it?
『Who?』
『cute』
『It’s a long black hair』
『Damn she’s tall!』
「Ah, I will be playing with this girl after noon, Touka-chan. She’s cute isn’t she~」
「Cute-...! nn, You may call me Touka. Please take care of me」
With the entry of a girl with the atmosphere of purity, the comment section got noisy.
And among them there was even someone who knew who Touka-chan was. Now that I think about it, I remember that she also streams.
「As I thought, you are the person that Touka-chan was searching for」
While saying that he’s happy that we met, Shuuya-san sat on the seat in the Tea house.
Me too, I was surprised to know that Shuuya-san and Touka-chan know each other.
「He is the guide and bodyguard that I hired. Ashamed I may be, I have no sense of direction.... 」
「I see. so is this what you would call a reunion due to strange circumstances?」
「I guess ‘ssu. Well, anyhow it’s great now that you finally met ‘ssu」
Was he that relaxed that he said it while he was yawning?
You couldn’t imagine him going through a dungeon from that figure of him relaxing, compared to Touka-chan that was more or less tired; he has obviously had way more to spare.
「So, what are you gonna do? Just in case, since we talked about going until Dualis ‘ssu」
「If onee-sama is fine with it then, I would like for onee-sama to come with me....」
Holding the cuff of my clothes like the past-....though she can’t do that anymore due to her height, Touka-chan moderately asked me.
Since I don’t really have any reasons to refuse, I happily agreed.
「I’m fine with it you know?」
「Then that’s decided. My job will be only up until here ‘ssu」
Even though he didn’t rest that much at all, Shuuya-san stood up and stretched his body.
Shuuya-san went back again to the forest while lightly waving his hands to us but, it seems like he remembered something, and then turned around and said something.
「Ah, that’s right, Sukuna-chan. If you feel like it, come to the base of the《Round Table》. When we meet again, I’ll seriously welcome you ‘ssu」
☆
「Clan 《Knights of the Round Table》, there is a front line clan that only swordsman players can join in. Once a month, in their clan, they hold a replacement match, the player with the high win rate will be chosen by the 《Round Table》. Excluding their Leader, they are 11, and Shuuya-san was 3rd in terms of ability」
While on the way back to Dualis, I asked Touka-chan about the 《Round Table》 that Shuuya-san talked about.
「hmmm.....So that’s why he looks bored. Ah but, in the original knights of the round table, there were others that weren’t really swordsmen right?」
「Ahaha, I can only say that it is like that. What is important is the atmosphere」
「I guess it is」
Asking since I got a bit curious but, since I don’t even know much about the original knights of the round table, I stopped nitpicking about it.
「But, hearing about it, it looks like that he is quite a famous player」
「Ah, it is not like that. That person is certainly strong but he is always traveling around aimlessly, so he is not known that much」
「Now that I think about it, when I first met him, it was at Dualis. That explains that the viewers didn’t know him」
「Yes yes....Ah, Sukuna-oneesama, forward, under the shadow of rock at the right side」
「Okay. something just like.....this!」
At the rock that Touka-chan pointed, I threw the weights that I have gotten used to, high up in the air.
The weight that flew like going over a mountain, and hit something hiding at the rock, and then the result from the battle....or from the sniping? came to me.
「Onee-sama’s throwing skills sure is the same as back then」
「Really?」
「Yes, rather you could say that it have been polished more, as expected of Sukuna-oneesama!」
「I-Is that so」
While being pressured by the glittering eyes of Touka-chan, I picked up the weight at the place where something had gotten crushed.
Touka-chan said something like that but, I think that it’s not that hard to hit an enemy that is not moving.
Since the goal is right there, you should just throw at it in any form as long as it follows that trajectory.
It doesn’t matter if that trajectory is straight or curved, it would only change the time of impact.
「No matter how much I hear about it, I think that way of thinking is weird」
「Y-you don’t have to say it with such a serious face....」
『No, its weird』
『weird』
『She’s not wrong but you can’t actually put it into practice』
『This oni girl is saying it as if it hits before the actual event』
Even though it’s a topic that Touka-chan brought up, I was unexpectedly attacked in all directions.
「N-no, its just limited to an enemy that isn’t moving, if its moving, sometimes I don’t hit too....」
「Sometimes」
『Sometimes』
『Sometimes is it...』
『sometimes』
『The case where she remembered that she has no memory of not hitting after saying sometimes.....』
It’s not like that you know! I miss 1 out 100 you know!
.....yeah, it’s sometimes!
「By the way, I have seen Rin-oneesama stirring up Suku-oneesama to shoot a basketball from the other side of the goal and she scored 10 times in row」
『Twen twimes』
『a super serious super dimensional basketball』
『bashketball 』
『Are you an oni, for real?』
『It’s impossible even in VR』
「goffu-」
When I tried my best to explain myself, an unexpected betrayal destroyed my excuse.
I was pierced by the comments from the viewers.
By the way, Touka-chan was walking about when I was still in 1st year of middle school, I just came along with Rin-chan who got a gym made so that she could deal with her lack of exercise.
Furthermore, Rin-chan gave up on exercising, after a while that gym opened up to the public.
「N-Now then let’s get back to where we are」
「Ufufu, I guess you are right」
It was obviously a forced change to the topic but, Touka-chan followed me without continuing it any further.
Reaching halfway back to Dualis, there weren’t any signs of being tired.
The reason why we are able to advance smoothly was because of Touka-chan’s skill set.
「Though still, Touka-chan’s detection range sure is big」
「Yes it is, since I fully specialized in support, compared to Suku-oneesama who is specialized in battle, my 《Detection》has bigger detection area, is what I think」
That’s right, Touka-chan’s skill set is a bit special, surprisingly she does not attack type skills it seems.
I haven’t heard the exact details but, It seems to be a healer type skill set.
And in addition to that, she also has scouting skills, a style focusing mainly on support.
Unlike me who only uses it when I need it, Touka-chan always uses it to search for enemies. That’s why the mastery is way bigger than mine.
In this field where many mobs hide, she could detect them way faster than me. A lot of scenes happen where Touka-chan would find a mob.
「But, in the end I cannot do anything alone」
Though Touka-chan said that, opposite of her pessimistic words, she had strong eyes that wouldn’t make you think of so.
Confidence as a supporter. Or maybe enjoyment. Even if her level might not be that high, I could feel that she has a strong will that she doesn’t regret her play style.
Seeing her like that, To me who only knew of her when she was still young, frail and pampered Touka-chan, I felt something squeezing.
And, while we were talking on the way to Dualis, there was an electronic sound of a notice that a mail had arrived to me.
The sender was 『Konekomaru』. This is, so it means that.
「Touka-chan」
「Yes, what is it?」
「In the afternoon, before we go exploring together, there is something I have to go to. Would you come with me?」
「Of course」
「Thanks. Since I believe It won’t bore you」
Getting Touka-chan’s permission, I quickly sent a reply to Konekomaru-san.
I thought it would be after tomorrow but, he really is fast with his work.
On the road heading to Dualis.
Holding down the exciting feeling in my chest, I beat the monsters to death with 30% more power.
