Chapter 384: – A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated
Were they suppressing the demonic beasts with the power of the Demon King?
The demon beasts handled by the Demon King\'s army began running rampant as soon as the Demon King died.
We were able to take advantage of the resulting confusion and escape from the Demon King\'s Castle.
He sneaks in, kills the king, and escapes. I thought it was more like an assassin than a warrior, but I didn\'t say it out loud.
Anyway, I won, so it\'s okay.
And on the way back from the Demon King\'s Castle, there were things that could be called adventures, but I won\'t write about them at length.
Fortunately, the place was in chaos due to the demon beast\'s rampage, so there were no demons paying attention to us.
When we crossed the front line and entered human territory, the news had already spread so much that the empress of the empire came all the way to the front line to greet Hero and the others.
With flowing blonde hair, a body boasting feminine beauty, and a charisma that naturally overwhelms those around her.
Certainly, the empress of the empire was different.
And we, who joined her Emperor Yeo, began to move with her.
◆
A sky without a single cloud. With the warm sun shining gently, countless people gathered in the capital of the empire.
Roaring, roaring.
The cloud-like murmur could be felt even by those of us standing across one of the castle gates.
"Wow. What do we do? "If I fail, won\'t it be a total shame?"
"You\'re right, it\'s a disgrace. So hold it straight."
"Ugh..."
Asil, who did not know how to ride a horse, grabbed the horse\'s reins and trembled.
The saddle that Asil was sitting on was specially designed for people who did not know how to ride a horse, so unless they were doing a lot of acrobatics, the horse would never fall below walking speed.
No matter how many times I said that, it was like that.
"Hehe. "You know, would you like me to use some magic?"
"Is there a magic that makes you good at riding horses?"
"If you increase your weight with gravity magic, won\'t it be fixed heavily?"
"Is that so? No, you can say that. I\'m sorry about the horse..."
Of course, since the horses given by the empire were war horses, Asil would not have cared even if they were three times his weight.
In the end, when I felt like I was going to fall, I decided to get help from Sylph and use the wind to correct my posture.
Even while this conversation was taking place, the procession slowly approached the castle gate.
"The door opens!"
We stopped chatting when we heard the soldier in charge of the gate shouting loudly.
– Kugugung...
The huge castle gate slowly opened with a heavy sound.
The sun was shining from our side. A path of light stretched straight through the gap in the open castle gate.
Starting with Serena and the Empress at the forefront, the procession, which stopped for a moment when the door was opened, started moving again.
-――――――!!!
As soon as we could see the people gathered in the castle, a huge noise erupted.
The sound of praising the empire, the sound of hailing the sun, the sound of honoring the warrior... I couldn\'t hear it properly because there were so many sounds mixed together.
At least it was well conveyed that everyone was thinking about a bright future.
A system message was displayed while the parade was in progress.
After contemplating what to do, I put it down for now. I didn\'t think there was a need to choose now.
◆
After the parade ended, the Empress held a grand banquet.
But we decided not to attend the banquet. This is because Asil, who received excessive attention at the parade, was already in a groggy state.
"I feel like I\'m getting motion sickness... But I wanted to try it at least once..."
"Yes, yes. "I understand, so just eat first."
"Haum."
Asil sits against the wall in the room given to us and eats the food that Flora gives him, even though he is dying.
The food was extremely delicious.
The female emperor seemed to have some information about the hero party, and although she knew that we were not part of the hero party, she promised to treat us accordingly since we were a great help in eradicating the demon lord.
She even asked if there was anything she wanted. She said that if she could listen, she would listen.
Flora requested assistance in rebuilding the Kingdom of Vale, which she gladly accepted. I\'ll have to consult with Flora\'s siblings for details, but since it\'s support from the Empire, it\'ll probably be great.
What should I receive?
She spent time thinking about such things.
◆
One day, a saint came to visit.
Since we were planning to visit soon, we were a little surprised because we didn\'t know that the other person would come first.
She asked me to visit the temple in the capital. The promised time has come.
And that night Asil revealed her secret to us.
I came from another world, and now I have to go back.
"Yes... ?! So are you really going away? ?"
Flora was more shocked by the fact that she had to break up with Asil than by the story about the other world.
What am I? She was busy trying not to find out that she already knew.
Time passed quickly, and the day came to visit the temple.
After the saint came to visit, they spent time together, traveling around the capital for a few days, but it was always a pity to say goodbye.
"..."
The whole time heading to the temple, Flora looked like she was about to cry.
It seemed like she was trying to hold back, but it didn\'t seem to work out as she expected.
She finally arrived at the temple.
"Please come this way."
The saint personally welcomed us and guided us.
The saint took us deep into the temple, into a place not permitted to the public.
The deeper I went, the more sacred the building itself became.
The saint stopped her feet in front of one of her rooms and said.
"Please tell me when you\'re ready."
The saint moved her place to a little distance away. It was as if she knew we were parting ways here.
"You know..."
Flora fell into her arms.
Starting with that, we said our goodbyes.
I thought we had already talked a lot over the past few days, but when I thought it was the last time, I couldn\'t run out of things to say.
Still, time passed.
"... "I\'ll go now."
The moment has come that cannot be put off any longer.
Perhaps the saint guessed our feelings, but without saying anything, she led Asil into her room.
And.
When the saint came out again, she was alone.
...
"Soira. What are you going to do, Soira?"
Flora asked after leaving the temple.
"Umm..."
I couldn\'t answer.
The system message she had put down flashed in the corner of her vision, asserting her presence.
[Clear the game!]
[You have completed the scenario \'Invasion of the Demon King\'s Army\'. How would you like to play next?
1. Quit the game.
2. Start a new scenario.
3. Continue playing. ]
I haven\'t made a choice yet.
Even though it\'s a choice I\'ve already made several times since I started enjoying virtual reality games.
◆
"Watch out for the bricks there!"
"Who put something like this here?!"
"What was lunch today?"
A noisy construction site. There were several other construction sites like this in this place, which was once the capital of the Kingdom of Vale.
It was a construction project to restore broken buildings and castles.
I was busy going around the construction site with Flora and checking the status of the construction. It could be said that the construction work was truly fruitful.
"It\'s a princess!"
"What? Where?"
The workers who discovered Flora stopped what they were doing and looked this way.
Flora smiled and waved at them. With that alone, you could see the fatigue disappearing from the workers\' faces.
I was Flora\'s escort. First, nominally.
I stayed with Flora, helped her with her duties as a princess, and spent most of her time together.
Spending time with friends was fun.
But. I also had this thought.
Was this the game I wanted?
I definitely started playing VR games and WM because I wanted to be humiliated.
Asil also left this world, Flora settled down, and the scenario ended. I guess there\'s no need to be in this world anymore.
You could go on a trip alone, but then there was no reason to continue this episode.
Even now, my eyes were drawn to the system message flashing in the corner of my vision.
It was then.
– Woo!
Suddenly, a round gate opened on the side.
"Huh?"
Even though I was surprised, I hid Flora behind my back. But somehow, it felt familiar at the gate.
What was this?
And the surface of the gate shuddered...
A woman came out.
Dolphin pants that show off your thighs and a T-shirt that pushes up your chest. There\'s silver hair that sparkles in rainbow colors that you can\'t forget once you see it.
That is.
She was Asil.
"Do you know?!"
The outfit is retro... No, I guess that was the latest trend in Asil\'s era.
Both Flora and I were surprised by the sudden appearance of Asil.
And Asil was also surprised.
"No, this is it?!"
They immediately dragged Asil away. It was nice to see her again, but I was also curious about how she got here.
"So. How did you come back? "No, are you really back?"
"Was there a problem?"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Ask them one by one."
Asil\'s story was like this.
It is said that when she returned to modern times, Asil regained her previous peaceful daily life.
If you look closely, she had some minor problems, but she was still living her daily life without problems.
She meets her friends, goes back to her old school, and earns her pocket money by catching monsters that occasionally appear.
Then one day, while sorting out the farewell gifts we gave him, he found it.
\'The door to the spirit world\'.
When I was in this world, I always wore it, and there was actually a time when I escaped a trap thanks to that item, but in modern times, there was no such thing, so it was an item I kept with other farewell gifts.
Asil was lost in her memories and tried using the door to the spirit world.
Then, the door from Earth to the spirit world was truly opened.
And it is said that when she used it again in the spirit world, the door to this world was opened
In other words, the world of Asil and this world were connected through the spirit world.
In fact, it is possible because Asil\'s Earth and this fantasy world are the same in a game called WM... Possible... No, this is possible?
"Can I still use that?"
"Huh? Huh. The condition of being able to open the door once a day remains the same, but it seems like it can be used continuously."
"You know. Then we can continue to be together in the future?"
"Okay. Flora. "I also have a life over there, so we can\'t always be together like before."
Asil and Flora looked at each other and smiled brightly.
Looking at that, I felt foolish for worrying about what I was doing just a moment ago.
"Then perhaps we can go to that world too?"
"Umm... No, since you have to go through the spirit world, wouldn\'t it be a bit difficult for you?"
"If you look carefully, there might be a way."
"Oh, oh... "I\'m curious about the world of Asil!"
"I wonder if there is a way... ?"
While having such trivial conversation, I brought up the system message that I had been putting off.
The three of us were together again, and we were able to feel as happy as before.
If Flora were to go on her trip again, her siblings might be a little reluctant, but they would eventually allow it.
She didn\'t have to worry anymore.
[3. Continue playing.]
[Confirmed. We will do our best so that you can continue to enjoy the world of World Maker.]
The journey still continues.
