Volume 6, Chapter 17: We’re here to spoil it! (8/8)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Yoko was not an invincible being in this world.
As long as her abilities depended on the game system, various restrictions were brought about by that system.
One of them was the guard.
The guards were responsible for cracking down on criminal activities in the city, and they were sure to catch crimes in public places and appear in front of Yoko out of nowhere.
The guards were not invincible, so even Yoko could defeat them, but the guards got stronger every time they were defeated.
The more crimes she commits, the stronger the guards become, and eventually they become impossible to defeat.
If she was captured by the guards, the game was not over, but she would be locked in a prison for a certain period of time, during which her status will continue to drop.
Therefore, Yoko acted as an ordinary adventurer in the city.
It was fine to do whatever she wanted, but she didn’t want her normal life to be threatened by it.
The only reason she couldn’t do whatever she wanted was that she had to do it in a place where there were no guards.
For example, in a locked room.
As long as it was in a place where the guards would not normally come, there was no problem. If she occupied a house, locked all the entrances and exits, and then commited the crime, the guards would not find out about it.
Or, since guards were only found in large cities, a local village would be fine. There were also guards patrolling the streets, but they are not very numerous, so she just had to be careful and she would be fine.
And on the ship there were no guards either.
There seemed to be some sort of mercenaries protecting the ship from foreign enemies, but there were no guards here, protected by the system. The guards belong to the state, so private passenger ships were not covered.
Therefore, Yoko thought that she could do whatever she wanted on the ship without being bothered by the guards.
That’s why she thought it would be a good idea to book a second class cabin and steal a special class cabin. She even thought it would be fun to kill everyone on board and turn the ship into a ghost ship.
But there was a surprise hidden inside.
When she used her picking skill to open the door of the special cabin she had chosen at random, a hero was there.
If he was just a hero, she would be able to handle him, but somehow the hero transformed into his second form.
The NPCs she had with her were erased, and just when she thought she was in trouble, a large number of bugs appeared.
This was also one of Yoko’s weaknesses.
TSS had a function to target enemies, but if there were too many of them, it would try to capture them all and freeze.
So Yoko immediately started to run away.
Yoko relied heavily on TSS for fighting. If she hadn’t done what she did, she would have been killed.
It was possible for her to fight without using TSS, but it required a different mindset.
As soon as Yoko escaped, she used her covert skill to eliminate any sign of her presence and then went on to hide herself in a suitable room after a considerable distance.
Since covert skills were useful in a variety of situations, she was raising her skill level. It would be extremely difficult to find Yoko hiding if she was serious.
“It’s too much trouble. Maybe I should just leave him alone.”
Yoko was not a battle fanatic. She liked to defeat her enemies, but only when she could easily and overwhelmingly win. Taking on ridiculously strong opponents, strategizing, and achieving a last-minute victory was not Yoko’s style.
“Hmmm…lock him up somewhere? But I have a feeling he might warp or something…”
Locking NPCs in was something Yoko liked to do a lot.
Luring them into a suitable locked room, making the room indestructible, and blocking the entrance and exit with indestructible objects.
She loved watching the NPCs struggle to escape and eventually lose their minds in despair, but she wondered if this method would work against the hero.
She also was not sure if this method would work on someone who could use subspace transference.
“My original intention was to go to the Ents and burn the elven village, so I can go through here. I don’t have to beat him, I can just taunt him, right?”
It was also annoying for her to just run and hide.
She decided to do something that would give her a story.
In order to come up with a concrete plan, she wandered around the room, not knowing who was staying there.
Yoko felt uncomfortable.
At first she didn’t know what it was, but then she found the answer in the mirror: a skinny woman with a pair of beady eyes.
„What?“
Yoko froze when she saw the figure of a woman who looked too familiar.
It was not Yosuke Hiiragi as an avatar, but the real Yoko Hiiragi.
„What’s going on…?“
„Oh, I wish you had been a little more dramatic.”
As she was stunned, she heard a voice behind her.
She turned around and saw two girls with the same face standing there. Unlike her shabby self, they were really lovely looking girls.
“I’m Marna!”
“I’m Liluna!”
“Together! We are Marnaliluna! Yes!“
They clapped their hands together in a synchronized movement.
“Wha…What are you doing?
“We’re Gods!”
“We’re here to reveal the truth!”
“We’re here to surprise you before you know it!”
“In fact, this game world”
“Isn’t one!”
“It’s another world!”
“Yoko-chan is dead in your original world!”
“What?“
The two of them spoke in turn, and Yoko was confused.
She did not immediately understand what they were saying.
“In an experiment to simulate all your senses, you had needles poked into your head and an electric current passed through you”
“and your brain just exploded!
“But if you think it’s a game, then it’s fun.”
“Well, we thought it would be fun to do it this way.”
“We’ve prepared a body, we’ve dragged the soul in”
“then we’ve given you a game-like ability!”
Yoko gestured for the system window to appear, hoping to attack the two.
Nothing appeared.
“Now. A ability nullification ability was already used.”
“Yoko-chan’s ability is implemented as a skill in the system called Battle Song.”
“If we use a powerful disabling ability, you can’t do anything!”
No matter how many times she repeated the gesture, the window did not appear.
TSS was not activated and no magic could be used.
It was not possible to change the game settings or check her status.
But Yoko still couldn’t believe that what they were saying was true.
If they say that this was a different world, inhabited by monsters that don’t exist in reality, and that they can use magical powers, how could she believe them?
It would be much more convincing if it were explained to her that everything was a game.
The current situation could also be interpreted as a system problem that had prevented the use of commands.
These two people were from the development side and had come to explain the situation.
She assumed the explanation given earlier was a joke and that the real explanation would be given now.
“You know what? Do you think it’s possible to make a game that’s this realistic, using common sense?
“But, but! It’s undisclosed advanced technology! They say that military technology is so advanced that it’s out of the world!”
“No, you didn’t believe it? Didn’t you think it was impossible?”
She had a vague suspicion.
But when she started to play and saw the system window, she believed that this was a game.
“In terms of difficulty, it’s easier to build everything in VR…”
“It would be easier to use augmented reality in another world.”
“Well, most of the abilities in this world are based on battle song.”
“It’s a very game-like system.”
“It’s easy to misunderstand.“
“Why, otherworldly gods, do you know all this stuff about games? Isn’t it strange? You’re the developers, aren’t you?“
“We don’t know anything about games.”
“But I can look into other worlds and see what kind of civilization they are and what kind of entertainment is popular there.”
“Isn’t it funny that I’m dead? I mean, I’m not even alive!”
“There you go.”
“Because we’re Gods.”
Immediately Marna and Liluna showed their haloes and Yoko knelt.
What Yoko felt was a primordial awe.
An instinctive feeling that naturally arose when she saw something enormous.
It was a feeling that prevented Yoko from standing still.
She had no choice but to believe that this world was not a game.
She had come to truly understand that it was possible for this being to bring Yoko back to life and bring her into this world.
“That’s why. Yoko killed all those people.”
“They weren’t NPC’S”.
“Born and raised in this world.”
“They feel pain, they get hungry.”
“They fall in love, they get married, they have children.”
“They’re just normal people living their lives.”
That being said, she didn’t immediately feel guilty.
Death, caricatured by the cruelty filter, was portrayed in the most comical way possible.
When she was told that it was the death of a person, she didn’t feel anything.
“So… what am I supposed to do…?”
„Huh?“
„Huh?“
Yoko prayed to the beings who claimed to be a god, but all that came back was a distracted mumble.
“We didn’t say anything in particular.”
“We were just wondering what kind of face you’d make if someone spoiled it for you.”
“It was supposed to be an unexpected truth, but you didn’t react well.”
“So that’s it!”
“Yes, yes. The situation is only temporary.”
“It’s like a game all over again when someone with a disabling ability stops your ability.”
“If they stop their ability or go out of range, it’ll be like playing a game all over again!”
“See you later!“
With that, the two simply disappeared from the scene.
Yoko remained on her knees, stunned.
She couldn’t swallow the information she was given and didn’t know how to organize it.
While she was in a daze like this, she felt something had changed.
Yoko’s body was transformed into that of a man, slender but supple and well-trained.
As if the feeling she had just experienced was a lie, her body was filled with power.
She drew a gesture with her fingertips, and a system window appeared in her field of vision.
Her strength seemed to have returned.
“Sh*t! What the hell was that?!”
But even if her power returned, she couldn’t let her guard down at all.
The ability to disable abilities.
There was someone on this ship who had been using it.
Did that person go away or did they just stop using their abilities?
She ccouldn’t help but feel uneasy until she confirmed this.
“In the meantime, let’s call my companions.”
She called her companions from the system.
Then the three maids who had been waiting in her room came immediately.
If she made a call, they would come to Yoko wherever she was.
“You know how to fight, don’t you?”
“Well, that’s because we’re battle maids.”
If her abilities were to be nullified, she would have to rely on her bare combat power.
Since she and the girls were master and servant by virtue of their employment, she figured that there would be no problem even if Yoko’s ability was disabled.
-I just wonder if it would be effective if my form were to return to normal.
“Good. Well then, we’ll search the ship now and take care of the ability wielder.”
The hero was secondary now.
“Who is the ability wielder?”
“I don’t know. I’m not sure. I’ll just kill whoever looks like it. His attack might change my appearance, but don’t worry about it. I’m sure I’ll be back to normal after I kill him.”
“Yes, sir!”
She left the room with the maids in tow. There was a lot of noise outside.
A small fat man rushed to the scene.
Yoko activated TSS and unleashed her Ice Needle magic.
The man turned to light and disappeared, leaving behind his expensive looking clothes.
Yoko was disgusted. She was somewhat annoyed by the way the man was running.
There was no need to feel sorry or regret now.
For Yoko, this world was a game. The only way to live was to believe that.
“That was the plan all along. I’m going to kill every single person I meet!”
If she killed them all, she would eventually get to the disablers. Thinking that way, Yoko was getting short sighted.
“Yes, sir.”
The maids responded cheerfully and quickly rushed to the boy who had come around the corner.
Then they collapsed and stopped moving.
“What the hell are you doing, guys?“
She didn’t understand why they fell down in the middle of nowhere.
“I’ve seen your face somewhere. Oh, you’re the guy who said something about a game.”
Yoko remembered that she had talked to this boy briefly before boarding the ship.
But there was no way she was going to let him off the hook for that level of involvement.
She decided to kill him from all sides.
Then let’s kill him quickly.
Yoko activated the TSS.
＊＊＊＊＊
“Do you think this person was a pirate?”
Yogiri tilted his head, as someone who should have been almost unrelated to them directed killing intent at him.
