Pandora of Fantasy And Reality Chapter 119

Added 2023-05-05 09:37:54 +0000 UTC

Contagious Madness

Lighter and Blaze who were asked for help by Ponsuke trembled when they stepped into the Capital of Hope’s sightseeing area.

「Gyaaaa!!」

Lighter’s scream vanished into the burning sightseeing area.

Blaze looked around.

「What in the world is going on here? The buildings should be impossible to destroy. They are protected so they shouldn’t crumble or anything, and yet!」

Most of the buildings were impossible to destroy no matter how hard player gave it a try.

Lighter fell on his knees on the spot.

「I-it’s over. As expected we’ll definitely get banned from logging in anymore after going this far. The guild, might get dissolved……those girls, what the hell are they doing」

「No! Be more responsible there! Or rather, you yourself are naturally horrible too!」

「Ah, Fran……chan?」

Lighter saw a woman walking slowly behind the players of the sightseeing area who were running around like headless chickens.

She had horns on her head and flame leaking out from her mouth.

She widened her legs to shoulder width and planted her feet firmly on the ground while opening her mouth.

It was a flame that came from skill instead of magic.

She let out a breath that should be called as inferno that burned the sightseeing area’s players to ash.

Both Lighter and Blaze could only watch in astonishment.

The players screamed inside the flame as they vanished into red light.

The buildings that were swallowed by flame blazed and crumbled.

Fran wiped her lips.

Her eyes were bloodshot. Her gritted teeth showed sharp fangs among them.

Lighter and Blaze wordlessly hugged each other in fright. They could only tremble fiercely without being able to make any sound.

Lighter thought.

(Scaryyy! She’s scarier than even monster!!)

Screams and yells could be heard from all over the sightseeing area.

Sparkling red particles could be seen whirling up to the sky. Perhaps they came from the crumbling building……or the defeated players.

Anyway, more red particles were created from the progressing destruction and they rose to the sky above the sightseeing area.

Fran’s eyes fiercely rolled toward Lighter and Blaze, but several seconds later her gaze fell to the ground and she started walking away.

Lighter thought.

(Those eye are no good. That is absolutely no good!! That stupid bastard SOLOLY……he opened the damn Pandora Box)

Just seven people turned the sightseeing area into a sea of flame. The two could do nothing except watching.

However after a while Blaze said.

「E-eh? Isn’t it strange?」

「Yeah, isn’t the damage too small from a rampage of those seven? Is it going to spread even wider after this?」

「That’s not it! No matter how you think about it, Fran-san’s condition is just strange!」

Lighter also fell into thought after being told that.

(Now that he mentioned it, certainly, would she really go this far? ……It’s not strange at all for her to do this but, they should focus on catching Ponsuke-kun first before that……but, it’s also not strange at all for them to do this.)

Blaze looked around.

「Besides it doesn’t look like that it’s just us――those seven who are fighting here.」

「Eh?」

Lighter turned his gaze around and saw players who weren’t from their guild attacking the sightseeing area.

On the official forum inside Pandora.

Comments were getting written there one after another.

『Oi, those problem children are storming the sightseeing area!』

『Those guys seriously have screw loose in their head lolol』

『But you know~ those guys at sightseeing area are annoying dontcha think』

The news that the guild Ponsuke and His Happy-Go-Lucky Friends were rampaging in the sightseeing area immediately spread out.

Whatever they did became standing out because they were a famous guild.

However the forum’s atmosphere was heading to a strange direction.

『They’re always looking down on us.』

『Getting absorbed with the game is proof of the losers lol……they’re seriously unforgivable』

『It’s a hobby that those great elites can’t comprehend ain’t it lololol』

『……Then, won’t it be better if they don’t login into Pandora in the first place?』

『Did you guys see!? Those guys at the sightseeing area, the level of the players there is only at single digit. They’re hunting them down like there’s no tomorrow!』

『This one too shall participate in the party lololol』

『I summoned my guild members and 80% of them answered lololol』

『You guys are too free spirited lolol……let’s hunt those bastards yeah』

At first the players there were only commenting the actions of Mariela and co live, but it was as though their madness was infectious and caused the players in the forum to take action too.

In respond, the players of the sightseeing area were also――.

『Those useless lowlifes!』

『They don’t know their place.』

『It’s just a game. And yet they’re getting angry over it. As expected from the lowborn』

『The level of the majority of the guys at Capital of Hope is just single digit right? Let’s go help them out.』

『This “Ponsuke and His Happy-Go-Lucky Friends” is annoying. How about doxxing them IRL too?』

『Nice idea!』

There were players from both sides in the forum.

The information broker who was wearing a hooded cloak――and other avatars dressed like him were watching that.

They were posting the posts from those threads to the thread of the opposite side.

The atmosphere was gradually becoming so feverish that the forum would go up in flame even without them doing anything. The information broker couldn’t stop laughing.

「Way to go, more. More!」

He never thought that Ponsuke of all people would become the trigger, but actually he had been instigating the players of the sightseeing area since some time ago.

The result of that was appearing now.

「Ponsuke-kun, you’re really really helpful no matter when. I was already planning to punish those sightseeing area players soon. But you went and brought those seven there without me needing to do anything.」

One person talked to the information broker.

「Is this alright? There is a sample among those seven who are connected to a Selector. It looks like they’re going into rampage……」

The information broker spread out his hands.

「It’s fine! Well, she’s just an imitation after all. She can’t become a Selector. That’s why she got strongly stimulated by Ponsuke-kun like this.」

The information broker was looking at the screen that showed a rabbit girl――Inaho chasing Ponsuke around.

Ponsuke was desperately running away.

「The virtual world is surpassing the real world……that’s right, soon. Soon the ideal world will be in our grasp.」

The information broker was getting drunk with the banquet of madness.

「Tattara~, tattara~……oh ho?」

Alfie was humming her original tune while carrying a large baggage on her bag. Then she stopped walking.

She was holding gatling gun in each hand.

The gatling gun had six barrels. It was a large weapon that rotated while firing bullets so it wouldn’t get heated up quickly.

The players of the sightseeing area were surrounding Alfie.

They were 20 level higher than the sightseeing area players of the Capital of Hope. However all of them had good look that came from copying famous celebrity. What’s more the making of their avatar was shoddy.

「You malicious player!」

「Kill her!」

They were boosted by paid items and their equipments were also high quality. They were tough opponents.

――Though only in comparison of the previous opponents.

「Paid equipments eh! Those are nice! I’m also using them! The reloading sensation is just wonderful! Ponsuke also praise……praise……aaaaAAAAaaa!!」

Alfie recalled Ponsuke. Her hair was looking messy. Her HP was gradually getting reduced from the attacks that were hitting her.

「Good! Keep pushing like this!」

「Bitch, don’t think that you can get away after going――wild?」

Alfie raised the gatling guns she was holding. She pulled the trigger and turned the players around her into red particles.

The bullets penetrated through the buildings. They were destroyed and then crumbling.

Alfie’s eyes were insane.

Those were eyes without any light in it.

Her smile looked delighted.

「But too bad! This is also paid item after all! Can you believe it, the pack on my back refill the bullet so I can ignore the cooling time! But, it’s troublesome that you need to be at certain level and clear an event to use it. I~, had Ponsuke helped me out~」

Alfie laughed kyaha kyaha, but then her movement stopped suddenly.

She looked expressionless. Then her face gradually became tearful. Her gatling guns’ barrels started rotating――.

「AaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAaaa!!!?!!!!!?!!」

With Alfie’s level and skill effect, the bullets reduced all the buildings around her into rubbles.

Ponsuke and Naia managed to shake off Inaho.

Inaho who ambushed them at the entrance tackled them, but the two forcefully got outside.

Their instinct instantly told them 「This girl is dangerous!」 when they saw her eyes.

(Shit-! I can’t stop feeling super scared no matter where I run to. I got the feeling that I need to run from this area no matter what.)

Ponsuke’s wild instinct, or perhaps an orc’s instinct was telling him the truth……but it was also wrong.

After all――.

「Found youuuuu!」

An attacker came from the sky. It was the bird girl Anri.

The forte of her avatar was its long gliding time though it couldn’t fly.

Her jumping strength was also considerable.

Anri swoop down with her spear targeting Naia. Ponsuke pushed her away from the attack while stepping on Anri’s way with a one-handed sword in hand.

「Anri-san, just what in the world are you doing!」

The burning sightseeing area.

Ponsuke guessed that this wasn’t a normal situation, but he didn’t want to think just why things turned out like this.

In the unlikely chance of 10000 to 1.

No, that possibility couldn’t possibly happen to him even in a hundred million to one chance. That thought simply passed through his mind briefly.

Anri pulled out her spear from the ground.

「You asked me what I’m doing? I should be the one asking hereee……who is that bull woman huh?」

Naia said something like 「Ah, she looked at me」. Then she replied even while feeling surprised.

「U-umm. My name is Naia. I’m getting into marriage with Ponsuke-kun for status merit――」

Anri’s spear changed shape with cracking sound into a sinister appearance.

It was a transforming spear that Lighter and other craftsmen created.

However, that transformation mechanism was fanning up Ponsuke and Naia’s fear right now.

「M-marriage? Hey, why……why it isn’t me!」

Both Ponsuke and Naia were dumbfounded.

「N-no, umm, Anri-san! This is, even if we call it marriage it’s just for the merits, it’s only to increase our status parameter, that’s all!」

「T-that’s right! And you know, this is just a game anyway.」

Anri stomped on the ground when Naia said that.

Even though Ponsuke was standing in her way, she used a skill and closed the distance to Naia behind him.

It was as though she was slipping through Ponsuke.

「C-crap!」

Ponsuke turned around and saw Naia using her favorite battle axe to block Anri’s attack.

「Don’t underestimate me you shitty bratttt!」

Anri’s eyes widened from Naia’s roar.

「Shut up you old haggggg!」

Both Naia and Anri shouldn’t know about each other in real life. However because the other insulted them, they also raised their voice and reflexively spoke what came up in their mind.

Ponsuke thought it was like that.

At another place.

A lot of players were lying on the ground around Lily.

They got enveloped in red light and vanished. Meanwhile Lily was staring on her handguns.

Her comrades ran toward her.

It was the orcs.

Prey got forcefully pushed by the other orcs to the front. It was him who was forced to talk to Lily who was looking calm.

Inside his heart.

(I don’t want to do this……I don’t want to talk……I don’t have experience with this kind of negotiation)

He couldn’t say that he had never poked his nose to other people’s love affair until now but……a case this particular was the first time even for Prey.

Lily was replacing her handguns’ magazines.

She was also reloading the bullets in the handguns.

「Lily……san!」

「What is it? I’m busy right now so keep it short okay.」

「Ah, yes.」

Prey flinched. The other orcs kicked him from behind.

(Stop! You guys are just making me excited!)

Prey cleared his throat and talked to Lily.

「I’m feeling a bit puzzled……why are you joining this attack? Is it to support Inaho-chan and Anri-chan?」

Lily replied while checking her handguns’ condition.

「No, I’m here under my own will.」

The orcs were whispering at the back.

「Eh? But, Lily-san doesn’t has any feeling to Ponsuke-kun right?」

「But you know, she is always with Inaho-chan and Anri-chan, so perhaps she got charmed during that or something?」

「There’s no way he can raise a flag with that kind of babe! Wait a second……what if, I introduced my girlfriend to Ponsuke-kun?」

The other orcs reacted to what that last orc said with 「Idiot, that’s not something to say at this kind of time! ……Let’s talk about it slowly later」 and so on.

Prey thought.

(How nice……I want to join their merry talk too)

「Your own will? Ponsuke-kun is really something isn’t he.」

「Yeah he is. At first I was just listening and giving advice to Inaho and Anri but……then I thought about testing Ponsuke.」

If Ponsuke got carried away after she tempted him, she planned to tell Anri and Inaho to quit chasing him.

But, Ponsuke didn’t fall to the trap. Or rather, he was too dense that he wasn’t noticing the approach.

「I planned to tease him a bit. But then……you know, I already liked him when I realized. That’s something that often happen isn’t it?」

「True that!」

The conversation stopped after Prey nodded.

(……Hah!? Stupid me!)

Lily spoke.

「I’m hopeless already when I realized it. My body is getting hotter the more I’m with him day by day. And then……when I heard that he married……it’s just plainly unforgivable isn’t it?」

「Yes, true that!」

Lily raised her handguns.

Those were handguns that were created by Lighter and co. They had formidable attack power.

「But still, Ponsuke-kun too is young, so I guess it’s normal for him to make a mistake. That’s why I’ll forgive him but, it’s fine even if that minotaurus is dealt with isn’t it?」

Smile. She had been smiling all this time while talking.

Prey felt chills running on his back.

It wasn’t a thrilling chill, but wasn’t this also nice in its own way? In the first place, it was Ponsuke who was getting targeted.

Prey gave a thumb up.

「It’s exactly as you said! We too shall cheer you on.」

Lily started walking away elegantly.

「Thank you. I’ll give you some whipping later if I succeed.」

The orcs straightened their backs.

They all replied at the same timing with exactly the same words and tune. It was a harmony as though they had routinely practiced it.

「Yes your majesty! We shall be praying wholeheartedly for your success!」

The orcs saw off Lily walking away.

Prey wiped his sweat.
