A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 380: Demon King (2)

The location of the person caught on the radar was the road we had to pass through.

Since it's neutral, I think I can just pass by... The reason it is marked as neutral is that when I saw this person before, he was neither a friend nor a friend.

We'll have to meet to find out if it's still neutral.

I proceeded, being careful not to relax just because I was neutral.

What I do hasn't changed. Kill the presence with magic and move while hiding as much as possible.

For a decent opponent, this would be enough.

"... "It's coming."

However, it seems that the opponent was not very serious.

At some point, the other person's position, which had been moving around as if looking for something, started to point in a straight line towards us.

"Guys. "Do you see anything?"

"Yes. "Nothing."

"No. "No."

Flora shook her head, and Asil also denied it. And there was nothing I could see either.

We only noticed the opponent's presence using radar, but the opponent is coming this way.

What that fact said was clear.

It meant that the opponent's detection ability was much better than ours.

Then it wouldn't be easy to escape.

Instead of running away, we chose a good place to fight and settled down in advance.

The weapon has not been taken out yet. Because it's still neutral. No, since it is such a dangerous place, do you think it would be okay to take it out?

As the distance to the other person became about half again, we could now see the other person as well.

It was a human male. It was hard to see because it was quite far away, but he still had a handsome face.

When we spotted him, he made an 'Oh?' Expression and accelerated his approach.

Eventually, we came to a place where we could even know the color of each other's eyes.

His identity seen up close...

"... Who was it?"

I don't know.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere... No, I must have seen it because it was registered on the radar...

He stopped at a reasonable distance from us.

"I never thought I'd see humans in a place like this. "What did you come here for?"

His voice was light, but there was a caution that could not be hidden in his tone.

You were the one who came here first, so why do we have to be so wary?

Naturally, my tone of voice became blunter.

"There is no reason to tell that person."

Then the man realized his mistake and apologized.

"Ah. Hmm. Yes. Sorry. "I spoke aggressively because of the current situation."

Well, whoever this person is, I know that the situation is not good just because he is near the Demon King's Castle.

It wasn't like I couldn't understand it, so I took a sigh and decided to forgive.

"So? "Who are you?"

"What. "You don't know me?"

"How do I know?"

"I thought it was pretty famous. I am... "

We had a moment to talk to each other.

His name is Lev. He is said to be in charge of scouting for the hero party.

The hero party has already reached the devil's castle?

No, more than that. I finally remembered when they said it was a hero party.

"I saw it when I met the saint!"

"Huh?"

A long time ago.

After clearing the dungeon where Asil joined our party for the first time, I went to collect the quest reward.

At that time, on the way out from meeting the saint, I passed by a warrior.

So it was marked as neutral. We just passed by, and we are not friends or enemies.

"Ah. "That time!"

As I spoke, I also seemed to remember a man named Lev.

He thought for a moment and said.

"We... No. If you know the saint, you probably aren't a bad person. Hey ladies. "Can you help me?"

"Didn't you just tell us?"

"What? When will I?"

I heard it clearly.

Still, putting aside the question of what relationship there is between this man and the saint, what should I do to ask for help?

Honestly, my nose is three feet wide right now. I didn't have time to help others.

Just as I was about to refuse, Lev, who was looking closely at Flora, spoke first.

"Isn't that equipment a magical girl set?"

"Do you know this equipment?"

"I know. That's right..."

Lev stopped his words there and said to me.

"... We have one too. If you help me, I can give you something in return. How is it. Do you have any thoughts?"

Flora's equipment, the Magical Girl Set, now needed to be collected with just one piece of equipment to complete the set.

Was that what happened to the hero party?

Although set equipment is precious, it is not as precious as life.

But... If it were me, it would be different.

I decided to listen to the story first, with the intention of saving and loading.

◆

Lev's story was shocking.

"You lost?!"

Asil and Flora were shocked to hear that the hero party lost.

And I was surprised by what the devil said.

Achievement character settings can be interpreted that way.

I don't know if things will go according to the devil's plan. I've played WM a few times before, but this was the first time I added achievement character settings.

"So? "You're probably not asking us to defeat the devil."

"That's not true. "I want you to help me save Serena."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Serina. Ah. Don't you know this too? Hero's name is Serena."

The Demon King said he would keep the hero alive.

Maybe that means letting go.

I was worried that Lev was definitely going through all kinds of torture, but I thought that was unlikely.

Because this is a night game. Ah. If it's sexual torture, he might be suffering.

Looking for a hero? Us?

Normally, I would have just told him not to joke and went on his way.

But... Asil and Flora seemed to have slightly different thoughts.

Asil was constantly restless.

"Soira. Shouldn't we help?"

Flora said she would actively help.

Flora could roughly guess the reason for this. To the people of this world, a hero is someone who must be helped.

But why do you know?

Umm... After thinking about it a little, I realized that there was nothing to point out.

Are you saying that if you defeat the Demon King, you can return to Earth? I think I heard something like that a long time ago, but I couldn't remember if I saw it in a flashback room or if it was just a guess.

Anyway, that's probably the reason.

In that case, we could see that there was a reason to help the hero.

The fact that it's dangerous doesn't change. But I have a save.

I wanted to get items and listen to my friends' wishes. I accepted Lev's story.

"Good! Then I will guide you to where we are staying. Follow me."

Lev took us somewhere.

It was a rock cave hollowed out about halfway up the mountain.

What. There aren't many places on the mountain where you can avoid the wind and rain without being seen by others.

"Ruler. Come in, come in."

Lev entered through the thick grass that covered the entrance to the cave.

That moment.

– Piyung!

"Wow!"

An arrow flew from inside the cave and grazed Lev's head.

"Sylphy! "You're going to kill me!"

"It's a shame. "I thought I could send it this time."

Then, a green-haired elf came out of the cave.

It must be Silphiere, the archest of the hero party that Lev talked about.

Silpierre opened her eyes wide when she saw us.

"You're human, right? "I thought Lev had finally betrayed us and brought the Demon Lord's army."

"No... Sylphy. Anyway, isn't that too much?"

"It's noisy."

Although he said so, the arrow in Silpierre's hand had no tip.

No, it wasn't an arrow in the first place, it was just a tree branch of appropriate thickness. Even if Lev hadn't dodged, it would have hurt a little.

"Anyway, if you brought a collaborator, that's good. Come in."

"I said that from the beginning."

Sil-Pierre, who noticed that I was looking at his arrow, went into the cave, hiding his hand holding the arrow behind his back, looking a little embarrassed.

Lev grunted and went in, and we followed him.

The inside of the cave was surprisingly in good condition.

The floor was neatly cleaned, and there were crudely made chairs and tables.

It felt like I spent some time here.

Besides Silpierre, there was one more man and one woman in the cave.

The man was probably named Gaidon, and the woman was named Berti.

However, the condition of the two people was not that good.

Gaidon was lying down with his entire body bandaged and could not get up, and Berti was also lying asleep next to him.

"It's a wound I received when escaping from the Demon King's Castle. Gaidon was also harmed while trying to protect Berti. Thanks to this, Berti was able to escape danger."

Lev said gloomily. It was not a good thing that a colleague was harmed, and especially that a priest was harmed and had no means to recover.

It is said that all the potions he had were used up when fighting the Demon King.

"Soira."

"Huh. Yes."

Flora called my name. With that alone, I knew what I wanted.

Because I had the same thought.

"Ruler. "Here."

I took out the recovery potion that I had kept in my inventory and handed it over.

If you already decided to help, it would be better to help properly.

"Uh? Where did you just get that from? No, more than that, can I really use this?"

"Are you okay. Because there are a lot."

I received the remaining consumables from the mercenary group right before I was caught up in the magic circle, and I stocked up on a lot from the beginning.

Silpierre said thank you, took the potion, and poured it little by little into Bertie.

Lev, who was watching from the side, said.

"Sister Soira. "Do you have any food?"

"Who is your sister?"

"If anyone helps me, it's my older sister and older brother. Isn't that right?"

"What if it doesn't help?"

"Then I'll have to take off your ticket. So. "Is there food?"

"It exists. "It's not leisurely, though."

There is some emergency food, but it is really for emergency use.

"I'm not asking for it. We survived by hunting nearby and bringing back. Still, it's reassuring to know that there's something to eat in case of an emergency."

"Bringing it? Where?"

"Where is it, over there?"

Lev casually pointed in the direction of the Demon Castle.

Therefore... Are you making a living by robbing the Demon King's warehouse? This is also amazing in its own way.

On this day, Berti came to his senses, and when he came back to his senses, he used his divine power to heal Gaidon, and we spent the day sharing information among ourselves.
