Chapter 32 . 2 : First Experience + Final Trump Card = Taste of Soil

I wonder what my current expression is . Is my blood boiling in excitement? Is this what I think it is? The throbbing of my body… Well that’s trivial, what matters now is to enjoy this . I placed my dual guns in front of—- What the?

The Jiisha who had raised a wailing roar filled with pain just a moment ago had suddenly calmed down and was rounding up his body like a cat in a kotatsu .

Eh, what the h.e.l.l is this? Is he rolling back due to my roar?

As I stayed dumbfounded, Shinji went to my side with an unsteady gait .

「What the h.e.l.l is that, Sou?」

「I don’t know . Actually, you’re still alive huh?」

I thought he had faded out after splendidly completing my request .

「Somehow . I couldn’t move my body for a while . Whew, my HP almost went to zero . 」

「I see, thank goodness . So, what shall we do about this? My weapons are barely effective if it’s hiding its face and neck like this . 」

「U~hm, you’re right……… . . EH!」

It seems he had noticed something . As expected of Shinji, my dependable partner!

「That posture, it’s just like a cat in a kotatsu!」

G.o.dd.a.m.nit, I am a fool for expecting something from him . And above all, it’s really frustrating that this guy is thinking the same thing as me . Moreover, I also want to hit that face which is showing an expression of accomplishment . .

「Oi, I’m serious he――」

「We can at least restore our HP as long as we have Fuyukawsan but…… . . What choice we-muscle brain duo- can do in this situation」

You should say that from the very beginning .

「Anyway, shall we try to attack it for the time being? We’ll be in danger if it turns out that this is a counter skill but, if it was turned out to be charging its attack, we’ll be in danger for not doing anything」

We currently have no information about this huh . In that case, the thing that I have to do is . With a determined look, I looked at Shinji, who was also looking at me the same way . It’s decided huh .

Together, we started walking toward that guy at the same time . Since it’s better to regret after doing it rather than regretting for not doing it .

But, a while after we started walking, we were a bit too late .

But, a while after we started walking, we were a bit too late .

「W-WHAT THE!?」

The Jiisha suddenly shone while still in that rounded up posture, and then――

「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! 」

Our first boss battle ended just like that .

When I noticed, I was already inside of a dark place . I’ve seen a similar room to this before . Ah right, the tutorial room!

「We lost huh?」

――Still not enough .

「d.a.m.n it!」

――What the h.e.l.l was that last attack?

「Its power is no joke . 」

「Its power is no joke . 」

――Such a thing…

「This just got more interesting . 」

What the h.e.l.l is wrong with that monster though . Since when was I completely defeated like that . How can I beat that last attack? What am I lacking that makes me unable to beat that? What should I do now? c.r.a.p, my head is in a mess right now . Even so, one thing is clear .

――I had fun fighting against that b.a.s.t.a.r.d . Wash your neck, since I’m gonna beat you the next time we meet!

「Well then, what should I do after this I wond—N?」

『SYSTEM MESSAGE . THIS MESSAGE WILL BE SENt TO ALL PLAYERs WHO DIED IN THE GAME . TODAY AT 2:48 AM, YOU DIED IN A BATTLE AGAINST JIISHA, THE BOSS OF OKINAWA AREA . YOU CAN RETURN TO THE GAME 4 HOURS LATER . YOU’LL LOSE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU GOT WITHIN 24 HOURS BEFORE DEATH AND WILL RECEIVE A DECLINING GROWTH RATE FOR SKILL ARTS FOR 28 HOURS AS A DEATH PENALTY DUE TO FIGHTING AGAINST AN NPC!』

It’s already that late huh . But, that’s also quite a harsh death penalty . There’s no login restriction death penalty in PvP but, it’s there in a fight against an NPC . Is this a message from the management side telling me to cool down my head a bit?

『AS FOLLOWED, YOU’LL BE FORCED TO LOGOUT AFTER THIS . WE WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT DEATH . NOW THEN, COOL YOUR HEAD A BIT OUT THERE, FOOL』

This management side…

When I opened my eyes again, it’s the usual ceiling . Me lying down doesn’t mean that I’m sleepy though . Let’s contact Shinji .

I send an email to Shinji with my smartphone .

【Yo Shinji, we lost huh . 】

【Yeah, we ended up losing to that . Let’s have a meeting for a revenge match… Is what I want to say but…】

【Yeah, I’m also really sleepy right now . I’m already ZZZZZZZZZ . 】

【Right . Let’s meet again in the afternoon and continue our discussion at that time then . 】

【Roger . Well, G’nite!】

【(つ∀-)G’nite!】

My consciousness departed as I surrendered myself to drowsiness with my smartphone in one hand .
