ShangriLa Frontier ~ Shitty Games Hunter Challenges Godly Game ~

Some of those things were pretty unexpected, but apparently this accessory…… It will automatically grant tremendous acceleration to whoever wears it. Because it is surely not something that was a result of my conscious intention, and if that was a factor here, I do believe that the acceleration would have been too much to handle. But here’s a question, then: will this thing be compatible with the Overflow state? Or will that actually be way too much of an overkill?

At the time of achieving this tremendous acceleration and satisfying other conditions, it seems that a propulsive force with an additional rotation is going to be generated in front of the individual’s feet. And excessive transmission increases the movement of the body, and if you move the body to respond to rotational energy, then you are going to throw yourself off balance even more……

「I get a feeling that if you combine those two things together, the effect is not going to disappoint, but it might not be all that optimal, either……」

One thing I know for sure: using this thing in areas with walls and limited amount of space is a no-go. However, even though this accessory might seem horrible at first, it is certainly not useless. It is going to be incredibly situational, but still useful.

「Don’t you think so as well, Big Bro? And thanks for coming out of your way to see us.」

「Think nothing of it. But that being said, getting this one under your control might be a truly difficult endeavor, even for someone like you……」

「P-Pops!?」

Oh, look what the cat dragged in here as well! If it isn’t that small grunt Evel! Judging from how surprised he was, he surely did not expect to meet his Pops in a place like this one. Well, not that I can blame him for that, since I did not expect that to happen as well.

「The more blood we shed the more mature we become. This means that each failure is making us grow a little bit stronger…… At least that is the truth that I managed to arrive at across the span of my life. Sanraku, there might come a time when we shall test our strength against one another…… So I would like you to remember those words.」

「Oh yeah, talk about an ominous foreshadowing if I have ever seen one…… But was that supposed to cheer me up? Thanks, I guess.」

「Are you sure you wish to thank me? Oh well, but since I have already went out of my way to come here…… I might actually lend you some of my power for this.」

There was a cold wind blowing in here all of a sudden, causing the illusion that my skin was freezing and cracking. It was a fleeting feeling, but it was certainly intimidating for sure. And whatever it was that Weissash took out now, it was certainly with us right here. That much was not an illusion. It was good or different, and the intimidation feeling that the “it” that Vash taken out was so much that it was about to illusion.

「O-Old man, no way…… is this……!?」

「Pops! Do you really think of lending this power to this guy!?」

Both Break and Evel’s reaction were very uncharacteristic for the two of them, so I can only imagine that whatever it was right now, it must have been something really serious. And if it was not, that would have been even more surprising.

「If it is him, he should be able to handle at least that much…… And if not, then well…… There will be always a next time. But there should be no harm in trying, right?」

「Huh? No, I mean…… Yes, sir!」

I’m not really able to understand the circumstances of what is going on here, but it seems that I was not the only one in here. Emul looked really puzzled as well, and our Cat companion finally fainted on the spot. But even so, I reached out towards the sword that Weissash extended towards me…… And seriously, what is this thing even? I mean, it’s almost as long as I am tall, so it’s quite a weapon fir sure, I’ll give it that.

「Ugh, it’s so heavy…… And I cannot draw it out?」

「Well, of course it’s heavy, back at the country where it was originally created, it was a single unit, just like that…… Technically you don’t need to know this, but at its peak potential it should be powerful enough to level entire countries with ease.」

Ahh, now I see. So, it’s a sort of a system that discerns if you are worthy, or something like that? I get it, I get it …… But, am I going to be alright with this? Wouldn’t this be of the same category as Rei’s Heroic Weapon? Is it really alright to lend something like that to a complete stranger, disregarding your children and other members of your own race?

「Well, I do believe that there is a reason in this world for everything, so how about that for an explanation……? So, how about it? Care to give this one a swing or two? Surely just watching is no fun, right?」

After saying that Weissash laughed shortly, a genuine smile on his face. Even though he was smiling, others did not look too amused about that. What’s more, Evel looked as though he was simply fuming inside. Thinking about it now, even Bunnies in this game had very rich palette of expressions……

「H-Hey, Break, do you think you could whip me up a sword for practice? And can you make it before noon?」

「……………」

Silence, there was nothing but silence in here…… It seemed that Break was initially conflicted about this, just looking at my huge sword. But then she just nodded her head slightly, and I took the courtesy of considering that as a sign to go right ahead. And then there was a matter of Evel. But, I mean, since he was glaring at me like that, there was only one way in which I could have possibly responded to him, don’t you think?

「Oi, you stupid grunt! Yes, I’m talking to you!」

「Huh? The hell do you want!?」

「This is what we call a sense of superiority! (While pointing at myself)」

「Why, you little shit! Come back here, you asshole! I’m going to rip ya a new one!!!」

* * *

「Oh, hey there, Sanraku! Sorry for making you wait! …… Hmm? You a dude again? What happened? Did you die on the way here?」

「Don’t worry about it. It was just a minor accident. Of smashing myself flat against a wall, that is……」

「Huh……?」

After that, I was considering going back to Break to ask her for advice regarding this new accessory, but ultimately I decided on trying to have a go at it myself a few more times, just to see if I would be able to come up with anything on my own.

Then we have discussed some minor things and matters between ourselves, and while we were doing that we could finally see the huge “head” of the Leviathan becoming visible in the distance.

「Now, this takes me back! Say, Survivor? Have you managed to make some more progress inside of this thing?」

「Hm? Not really? I have been busy with some other stuff as of late, so I have only managed to delve as far as the second layer.」

「Oh, well wouldn’t you know it, same as me. Alright then…… Are we doing this thing or not!?」

Let’s go! To conquer what lies beyond the second layer of the Leviathan!
