Chapter 17: New Encounter (3) *
"Ryaaa!!"
The boss shouted and charged with his ax raised.
If you're in a rush, you might miss the timing to dodge while flinching from the momentum and try to block.
Then, your defense will be cut into pieces by an ax struck from that high place, and the game will be over.
In other words, you don't have to miss the timing to dodge.
Whoa!
The ax blade passes by me with a bloody sound.
Whether it's a brush or something else, it's okay as long as it doesn't hit you.
He immediately thrust his sword in, but due to his agile movements that did not suit his large size, he only managed to cause a scratch.
A boss is a boss.
It seems difficult to deal with it as easily as other miscellaneous mobs.
The battle took longer than expected.
With my skills developed through years of gaming experience, I didn't get a single effective hit, and the boss showed strangely delicate movements and was avoiding minor injuries.
This seems like a lack of skill.
My current swordsmanship proficiency is D rank.
The fact that skill growth is fast in the beginning is the same in all games, so it cannot be said to be a high rank.
In WM, the proficiency of combat skills affects two ways.
First, fine corrections are made to the movement. It holds the shaky trajectory steady. Or, a weak manpower is applied to accurately attack the targeted area.
And the second is to adjust the NPC's skills.
No matter how virtual reality is, it cannot make a user a master of swordsmanship or martial arts just by increasing his or her skill level in the game.
So, the method that the game company found.
The idea was to adjust the NPC you are dealing with, not the user.
If the user's skill is high, the opponent's sword swing becomes simpler, and if the user's skill is low, the sword is wielded more precisely.
As a result, the higher the skill level, the easier it is to deal with stronger opponents, which fits the original purpose and makes it easier for game companies to solve problems.
So.
The fact that the boss is now strangely good at avoiding my attacks means that my swordsmanship proficiency when attacking is lower than the martial arts proficiency of the boss who is dodging.
"Maybe I should have put in some hard work."
"Yes? "What are you muttering to yourself!"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Even while I was thinking, the battle was still going on.
If this gets longer, it gets annoying.
It was not a battle that could not be won. Anyway, I'm not getting hit, and the boss is still getting slightly hurt.
If we drag on for a while, I will have the upper hand in terms of physical strength.
However, with such an ambiguous advantage, there is a high possibility that the boss will not be able to catch you if he notices that you are at a disadvantage and tries to run away.
You have to defeat the boss to receive the reward for defeating the bandits.
At that time, I saw something moving behind the boss.
Small body and pink hair.
She was the woman who was embraced by the boss at first.
The other women were lying down, unable to open their eyes due to the noise of the battle, but even though that woman had been hit so hard, she was still trying to do something.
What she did was not special.
I picked up the weapon dropped by one of the random mobs I defeated.
"Hah!"
He stabbed the boss with all his might.
Just a stabbing blow without any swordsmanship or calculation. It was nothing special that even a child could do.
The result was special, though.
"Ugh?! Oops!"
The boss, who noticed the attack before it reached him, quickly dodged.
Just by looking at it, the body of a woman who was not used to hard work made a sound of excitement just by doing that much.
It was only natural that the boss, whose concentration was heightened during the battle, would notice and avoid her.
The revenge of a woman who had suffered for a long time ended in failure.
It would have been like that if I wasn't in front of the boss.
"Ugh!"
The moment when the boss's attention turns to the woman.
The sword he swung with the intention of risking everything on this one blow successfully inflicted a fatal blow.
And it wasn't long before the boss lost her life.
"Hey... You worked hard. Thanks for your help. "I am Soira."
"My name is Flora. Thank you for saving me."
"Okay. Flora. I have to ask you something. What are you going to do? I'm going to the city from now on. "I can take you with me if you want."
"Ah. That... Hmm... "
"What's the matter? Is there somewhere to go?"
"No. That's a bit... It's not that I don't believe it, but... "
...
"You were a princess?!"
And after listening to Flora's story, I could roughly understand what she wanted to say.
I ended up in this situation after believing that a princess who had no idea about the world would take me to a village of refugees. It would be hard for me to believe it, even if it was the person who saved me.
Even if you understand it with your head, it will be a burden on your heart.
Wait. Breasts?
"Oops. You still haven't gotten dressed. I need to wear something. Would you like me to lend you some of my extra clothes? "It may not be the right size."
"... Uh. Aren't you surprised?"
"Huh? No. I was surprised, though. "If you're surprised, you're surprised, and you should wear clothes."
In fact, it's because I'm so used to it.
Since it is a world where wars on a continental scale last for a long time, I have seen countless royal families of fallen countries... Still, it's my first time playing this game.
"The clothes are okay. When it was attacked, the thieves took it off and stored it. "It looks expensive."
While saying that, the clothes he took out of the thief's luggage really made me think about many things.
"That is... It's clothes. "Is it like pajamas?"
"No? This is the formal dress of our kingdom. That day too, I ran away from class... "
The clothes Flora wore was a white dress.
It's just that the front part of the skirt that goes down to the knees is missing, so the crotch of the leotard covering the body is exposed, and the rest that covers the buttocks and thighs on both sides is only see-through.
As a bonus, her upper chest, both shoulders, and arms were all see-through. At this point, the invisible area was smaller.
Something like that... Formal dress? Royal?
For the first time since I started using WM, I realized that my WM settings were excessive.
Surely. Clothes that are see-through over half of the area look expensive to anyone. That's only possible if the fabric is thin.
However, since the clothes that the other women were wearing were not found, only scraps of clothing were found, so they had to be covered with large cloths and brought to the city at once.
Flora gave me a separate horse to follow.
She cares for Flora, who trusted others but was tricked and almost became a slave. It meant that if the path I was taking seemed suspicious, it was okay to run away on my own.
Of course, nothing like that happened, and we arrived in the city safely.
After reporting the defeat of the bandits shown on the adventurer card and receiving the reward, I brought Flora to the inn where I was staying.
The other women still couldn't come to their senses, so they left them at the guild.
"Ruler. Flora. Take it."
"Money? Why... ?"
"You. You don't have any money? Anyway, if the money the thieves had, they would have stolen it and sold it to people like you. I'll give you half. Since I'm not volunteering for free, I'll keep half of it. If it's not enough, I can give you a little more."
"No. So dissatisfied... Thank you "I am indebted to you in many ways."
"What. If you go through something that difficult, something good should happen. How is it. Because I will buy it. "Would you like to at least eat some food?"
"Ah. Thank you."
We talked about various things while eating.
"Soira, how did you find the cave we were in? "Did she have a bounty on that group of thieves?"
"No. It wasn't like that... "
I couldn't bear to say, 'I've been looking for days to be raped just like you!', So I just made up something plausible.
"I, too, had a hard time because of the bandits. Since then, we have been exterminating all thieves we see."
"Is that so... Even someone as strong as Soira goes through something like that... "
"It's all in the past now. Thanks to you, we were able to save Flora, right? "Don't worry."
"Hehe. Soira is strong. "Skill and heart."
"Look at this? I guess someone isn't a princess. "You speak delicately."
"Hiya?!"
While continuing the conversation, Flora suddenly stiffens and begins to tremble.
Where does it hurt?
"Are you okay? "Where does it hurt?"
"Ah... No. It's no big deal?"
Ah. This reaction is a knowing reaction.
Your eyes are wandering, and your face is bright red? It's strange that I don't recognize this.
"No, it doesn't matter. It's obvious."
When I went around the table to check, it was as expected.
The man at the next table, who was very drunk, was massaging Flora's butt while pretending to be drunk.
"Hey! Where are you touching!"
"Hi!"
A drunk customer runs away when someone speaks strongly while kicking the table.
If you're going to run away like that, you shouldn't have touched me in the first place.
"Are you okay, Flora? If something dirty is happening, give me a signal. "I can take care of it."
Then Flora looks puzzled.
"Something dirty? No. "There was nothing like that?"
"What. No, you just got hit, right?"
"You deserve it? Me?"
"Okay. "That guy just touched your butt."
Did I see it wrong? No, if I had done that, I wouldn't have run away when they threatened me.
"No way. Soira too. That's not a big deal."
My sharp senses felt something cheap at this point.
Just in case, let's check.
"Is it? Then, Flora, I'm asking just in case you don't know. Do you know what dirty things do?"
"That..."
I won't be surprised no matter what they say after that.
I thought so.
"That's the danger, sincere pregnancy, restraint, rape, uterine mouth, vaginal ejaculation, mating press, animal mating, right? Even though I'm a princess, I know that much."
Like that... Thought... I did it...
