Chapter 383

~17 min read 3,259 words

Let me explain the rules!

First, this is a battle between 11 children! Players will receive special guns we have prepared. This gun is loaded with 10 powerful sedative bullets; once hit, you fall asleep immediately! Until tomorrow morning, I'm still dreaming! It's a pity they fell asleep outside the long-awaited party!

Players who fall asleep using these sedative bullets are out! And whoever wins the battle and persists to the end will be eligible to challenge the final showdown with this Yours Truly! The rules of the final battle... I'll tell you then.

This is a real title match for the title of First-Barking. Let's transfer the King's privilege to the children who can win the final battle. Transfer all shares of the ITube operating company owned by Yours Truly. With this, Yours Truly will retire from the ITU Bar.

... Seriously, everyone has that kind of reaction. Let me tell you, Ore-sama has no intention of losing, you know? Of course, the man has nothing to say either. I promise I will abide by the conditions I just stated. Just say it is a manifestation of Ore-sama's passion and absolute confidence! Don't think you can defeat it so easily.

However, some children might feel a bit uneasy about the current rule explanation. In short, it's a gunfight, a battle using the body, and naturally, there are things you are not good at. Therefore, let's add more rules.

Everyone who came to this party! Hey, it's time to show your unity! Surprisingly, this game is a competition in which all the audience participates! Gift boxes are currently being distributed in the auditorium. Please check the contents after receiving them!

There are two things in the box! An Anesthesia Gun and a Wristband! This gun is the same as the one I just described. And when the wristband is worn on the wrist, it can display colors on the display screen. You can only choose one from 11 colors when wearing it.

Do you still understand? This color corresponds to the 11 children. By choosing and displaying your favorite child's color, you can participate in that player's "team"! The children gather people into their own teams with the charm of the ITU Bar, and all the guests cooperate with the children they support and aim for victory!

The winning children's team will receive 1,000,000 Jenny! Oops, can't you join my team? Unfortunately, I can't. But if the final ends with Ore-sama winning, then all 2,000 guests will receive 100,000 Jenny!

You cannot enter the game without a wristband, so be careful not to lose it. It doesn't matter if you get hit by a sedative gun and fall asleep! The wristband detects the wearer's sleep and sends a signal, and the staff will send you to your room, so rest assured. Wear the wristband firmly on your bare wrist so that your Life Force can be read.

The game starts exactly one hour from now! After 1 hour, the gun unlocks and is ready to fire. Let's formulate a strategy together as a team by then!

Good luck to everyone! Check!

"Isn't it too suspicious?"

We, who were made into players without permission, were confused by this sudden game. Everyone is trying to figure out Pomony's true intentions. I don't think this is just an event to liven up the party. He is certainly a man who does crazy things, but this time he has gone too far.

A staff member came on stage to deliver the packages. The 11 sedative guns explained earlier were distributed to everyone. I have never touched a real gun, but I know it is heavy and has a sturdy structure. It feels like a weapon, not a toy.

I asked the staff member who came to deliver the guns, but he seemed to know nothing about the game and was just ordered to deliver the guns. The management said they were not informed. However, there is always someone in the venue giving orders to the staff working on the equipment. If an outsider is involved, it is impossible for them to know. It is interesting that the management knows nothing.

The person in charge of the host desperately grabbed the microphone, asking the audience to wait until the situation was confirmed, but the excitement of the fanatical fans did not subside. On the other side, Guan was calmly analyzing the current situation.

"My mobile phone signal is out of range."

I checked too, but the reception environment for the Smart Phone is definitely out of range. The same goes for other people's phones. The staff explained this to me. It is said that this electromagnetic interference was caused by the airship accidentally coming into contact with a cloud called an "electromagnetic cloud."

"Electromagnetic cloud...?"

"As the name suggests, an electromagnetic cloud is a special cloud that carries electromagnetic waves."

Professional Hunter BladeMax explained. When the airship approaches the airspace where these clouds are generated, it is affected by strong electromagnetic waves, causing radio interference, which temporarily disables communication equipment.

Even after leaving the airspace, this effect seems to last for several hours. It seems there are communication devices that can function even under this radio interference, but they are military weapons, and it is said that sightseeing airships are usually not equipped with them.

In fact, among the 11 people on stage, the virtual YouTuber Magical☆Milky has disappeared. This is because the video equipment displaying her figure has stopped working. This is also thought to be due to the effects of radio interference.

"Even if it's true, the timing is too bad. I can only think that they are trying their best not to leak future events to the outside world, because communication with the outside world is cut off, as if they were being targeted."

First of all, this electromagnetic cloud is generated on the sea surface under the influence of a special mineral vein that runs through the seabed, and its generation location and conditions are extremely limited. There is no reason for the pilot not to know the location, and unless he deliberately takes a direct hit route, it is said that there is almost no Collision.

And it seems that it takes a considerable amount of time to turn back the route and return to the airport. This super-giant sightseeing airship Sky Island is a heavy and slow ship that looks like an integrated amusement park, including accommodation facilities, floating in the air.

To put it clearly, it was designed with huge funds just to make it float, and its flight capability is second to third rate. The ship's speed is extremely slow, and due to its size, the places where it can land are limited.

It is precisely Sky Island. It seems that there are no electromagnetic waves causing an Obstacle to navigation, and the route is proceeding as planned, but with so many anxiety factors accumulating, I don't want to play games casually.

In the silence, I heard the sound of metal Collision. The I-chu bar Tsukutek I was trying to make was sitting on the floor busy moving his hands. What he had was a distributed sedative gun. Within this short period of time, it was dismantled into pieces, and countless parts were lined up on the floor.

"Humph, so that's how it is, so that's how it is, so that's what this means."

Tsukutek dismantled it to the last piece, and this time started assembling the neat parts. The shape of the gun was like an image being rewound at double speed. Tsukutek quickly returned to the original shape, prepared the gun, and pulled the trigger.

The sound of the gas from the Bullet being fired sounded like air escaping. The game commentator Captain Trail, who was pointed at by the muzzle, was hit.

"Ah, how... uh...?"

I fell down with a bang. From then on, the tension here instantly expanded and exploded. Realizing the start of the battle, my brain also switched. There was a feeling that time had slowed down.

Tsukutek pointed his muzzle at the next target. Besides that, there was the idol ITU-bar's Noah Heliodor. He was still staring blankly at the fallen Captain Trail, not knowing that he was being aimed at by a Tsukutek. The Bullet flew in a straight line.

"Ugh!"

However, a huge body intervened in the line of Fire. BladeMax defended Noah with an invisible movement. The sedative hit Blade's body, but it bounced back and rolled on the floor.

"Well, such a thin anesthesia Needle, it can't even pierce the 'outer garment', the power is enough for an illegally modified air gun, it can't be used unless it is weakened."

Tsukutek looked calm, as if he was considering doing an experiment. He was just asleep from the anesthesia, not like he was shot, just that the attitude was too indifferent.

If I remember correctly, this gun has a locking function, and it should be designed to be fired one hour after the start of the game. Because of this, before a game where we are scheduled to fight as enemies, we still maintain a certain state of tension, not fighting, and we are all trying to grasp the current situation.

Now it is a situation where it is on the verge of breaking out. I checked my gun again, and it did not fire. Why could Tsukutek's gun fire? One possible explanation is that he took the gun apart and reassembled it.

You might have unlocked it yourself. With his strength, it is not impossible. Tsukutek's technique shocked me; it modified the gun that should have just been distributed on the spot.

"It seems there is an idiot who doesn't even have a bit of common sense, but if there is an excuse, let's hear it."

"What are you talking about? This is just a game, right?"

Blade checked Captain Trail who was shot by the anesthetic. Took off the mask and checked the pulse, breathing, pupils, etc.

"I'm just sleeping."

"Look, he didn't die, that is to say, there is no problem."

Tsukutek said with a smile.

"I will fully enjoy this game. I don't care about the title of Ichu Bar King, but I like the fact that I can kick down that mountain general. Will you guys do the same? Huh? Show me your 'intentions', no need to shake the sickle."

Immediately after, an ominous deterrent feeling radiated from Tsukutek's body. I was attacked by pressure, making me shrink back. As if in proportion to that intimidation, the Life Force covering him shone and overflowed.

And, unexpectedly, most of the people here started to emit powerful Life Force fluctuations to offset Tsukutek's pressure. I wonder if this is some kind of technique. My body was evenly covered with Life Force, but I didn't feel any signs of power like they did.

Only Noah Heliodor could not create a Life Force membrane. The power leaked out like smoke above his head, which is the same state as the people you see in the city. I don't know if this is the reason, but he was the only one affected by Tsukutek's pressure, his face pale and his whole body trembling. Standing in front of Noah, letting the blade act as a shield, he could not stop the intimidation from all directions.

"Oh, what can I say? I didn't expect almost everyone to be a user of ten, I can't help but feel the guidance of Fate."

"I feel like I did too much, how could such a Coincidence happen?"

"No, this is not a Coincidence. No matter which field it is, whether it is East or West, ancient or modern, talented people will naturally start to reveal a touch of their own ingenuity. Owners with first-class brilliance attract other people's eyes."

It seems they call this Life Force "nen". I want to hear more about it, but the atmosphere cannot raise questions that everyone takes for granted.

"It's starting to get interesting, isn't it? However, I don't want to fight here without even knowing the enemy's abilities. Let's start the game according to the rules, and start when the time comes."

"The person who first shook off the trail should speak up."

"I have no relationship with you, and no one needs to worry about my thoughts, right? Fine then, I'll let you do as you please."

After saying this, Tsukutek left the stage leisurely. Afterwards, the few children dispersed.

"Oh, my troubled lambs are waiting for my Suggestion. I will be Together with them. Please forgive me."

The idealistic ITU Bar, Grandpa Galaxy seems very worried about his fans. I left the stadium together with the fans gathered on the stage.

"..."

The magical ITU Bar, Kaido Bat, left without saying a word. He is a person who wouldn't speak from the very beginning, but I don't know if this is his natural personality or his persona. For some reason, he disappeared somewhere as if he were trying to hide.

"Honestly, I have no interest in this kind of boring game. The title of King? What is the point of such a thing? The people gathered here are the ITU Bar, who can stand on their own feet without borrowing Pomerni's name. Even so, the reason I serve as an official under him is because I recognized a person named Pomerni."

The dance ITU Bar, JJJ Simon. The emotions he expressed were different from the others. It was Burning anger. The emotion manifested as Life Force that released its Heavy weight.

"You don't have to follow the rules he set. There should be a Pomerni on this ship, and I will find him from here. Then I will crush him. The one called brother."

He seemed to be trying to find Pomerni directly. I stepped forward to follow him, but I felt he wouldn't let me follow, so I couldn't go any further.

Only five people remained on stage. 【Six】【BladeMax】【NoahHeliodor】【JackHi】【VelvetAlect】.

"Alright, everyone, have something sweet here and calm down, hehe."

The mischievous YouTuber JackHi started distributing candy to everyone. I tried it, but it was very sour. It seemed to be based on the taste of cider, and the foam burst in my mouth with a fierce force and choked me. I looked around, and no one else was eating.

"So, how do you intend to deal with this group that stayed behind? I would like to propose a ceasefire agreement, and if possible, a cooperation system."

I expressed doubt at the proposal of the Burning ITU Bar, Velvet. Considering her actions so far, it wouldn't be strange if she entered the game to overthrow Pomerni. Don't feel like there is something behind it.

"What do you think of me? I will make great use of this big scandal later, but for now, I'll wait until I get home safely. I feel like I've passed it, so I'd better act cautiously until I uncover the truth behind it."

This is the purpose of the alliance. In terms of numbers alone, 5 out of 11 people will stand on a united front. No, if Captain Trail is out and Magical☆Milky has disappeared, that is 5 out of 9.

"Muscle muscle!"

"Haha... I don't know what it is, but if there is anything I can help with, I will do anything."

"Maybe I agree to form an alliance with you too. I like pranks, but the pranks in this game are too much."

Once Jack left his seat, he refused. Apparently, his acquaintance had arrived at the Venue, and he wanted to confirm his safety and protect him. He said he would go find him because he couldn't reach him via Mobile Phone.

Regardless, everyone showed a willingness to cooperate. It can be said that the greatest force under the current situation has been formed.

"Hmm, the princess and prince over there don't seem to be of much use, so the real strength is still me, Blade, and Jack."

It seems the princess is me, and the prince is Noah. It might indeed be weak, but when I received the notification that I had lost my combat effectiveness again, I was a little angry. What's more, the other party is Velvet.

"I didn't mean you don't need it. Even if it doesn't become combat power, it can still be used. Protecting the weak is a perfect cause of justice. For example, earlier, Blade protected Noah from 'Yeah.'"

Standing up for us gave us a cause and a stronger voice. Furthermore, the presence of 2,000 fans has a great impact on this game. Ordinary people who haven't undergone military Training gathered together would only create a mob, but even so, she said to have as many supplies as possible to increase their leadership.

"But, if you don't do the bare minimum of self-defense, that's fine too."

"No matter how you look at it..."

"My near-term goal is to cooperate with you to defeat Tsukutek."

I think being killed is an exaggeration. Indeed, Tsukutek's attitude is arrogant, but for the time being, he only uses a stun gun as a means of attack. I thought nothing would take my life.

"Too naive. That kind of aura containing bloodlust is not something an ordinary user can emit. It's better to treat him as someone who kills every day. He might be from Meteor Town and have connections with the Mafia."

Meteor Town is a place where you can throw away anything in this world. It has a long history and is said to have existed for over 1,500 years. I thought it was just a large garbage disposal site, but according to Velvet, it seems to be a very dangerous place.

It is a blank area that does not belong to any country and rejects the influence of any political organization. From the moment you step in, people treat you like "trash."

Many reporters went undercover to report on the situation, but none of the reporters who went to the interior returned. In any country, if a Japanese person goes missing abroad, they will do their best to find and protect them, but they say they cannot get involved in cases involving Meteor City. Its true nature is shrouded in mystery.

Their existence is rarely publicized, but there are exceptions. People who evade personal information management such as identity and nationality are said to be hired by criminal organizations like the Mafia as "non-existent people." Many Meteor City people who expose their identities on the front lines are called violent criminals of unknown nationality.

Tsukutek lives on a garbage mountain in Meteor Town and mainly uploads videos of crafts made using that trash. From the perspective of someone who understands the situation in the underworld, they realize that it is abnormal. This is not a place where you can just make crafts casually.

But when I heard Velvet's story, I couldn't believe it. I have watched many videos posted by Tsukutek. They are all wonderful works of imagination. In his hands, ignored waste is reborn in an instant. The content of the videos is carefully crafted so that even a child can understand. I can't believe he is the mastermind behind making that interesting video.

"Human beings are just like that."

Velvet did not have a tone of contempt or exaggeration, as if stating an obvious fact. For some reason, I wanted to deny it, but in the end, I couldn't think of words to express my feelings.
