ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 467: Dragon, Oh Dragon! PART 44 Part 2
The members of Tempura Knights started to chase after the fox-faced ninja and the Black Dragon like a pack of angry hounds would chase after the game in the forest.
「THIS IS ONE OF MY CLOSELY GUARDED SECRETS…… THE SKILL “REMOTE EMOTE”. IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO SUCK OUT THE MANA FROM THE EARTH AND TO CREATE A CLONE OF MYSELF, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE USED TO DECEIVE THOSE INSECTS AND BUY US SOME TIME TO ESCAPE. THEY WON’T GET ME SO EASILY!」
「Umm, it’s all good and all that, but that strong-looking Sword Saint…… He still looks as though he’s chasing after you, isn’t he?」
「…… KUKUKU, TO THINK THAT SOME OF THOSE INSECTS WOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SEE THOUGH MY ILLUSION WITH EASE.」
「Umm! Does that mean he intends to take us both out!? If so, this is a big pinch for us, Noirlind-san!」
「YES, RUN AWAY FROM HERE! THOSE DWARF WINGS OF YOURS WILL NOT LET YOU FLY, BUT YOU CAN STILL RUN FAST!」
At that moment the gazes of everyone gathered here were drawn towards that one strange person who was laying “tag” with the dragon for some reason.
Tenzo prepared himself to cast one of his Sword Arts in order to put an end to this child’s play and carry on with their duties, but……
「Tenzo-kun!」
「Let’s! Have! Some! Fun!」
「Prepare to die, you assholes!」
「What the……!?」
It was a sudden surprise attack. A whole lot of players jumped on them with their weapons drawn when the crowd was drawing closer to both Akitsu Akane and Noirlind.
It was then that Tenzo noticed something peculiar about those players. They were all bearing the red name tags of Player Killers. And just like that name and color might suggest, those players are notorious for committing the most grievous crime of them all in a game like that.
「Player Killers……!? No way!? But why!? Why are you guys even here in the first place……!!」
「There is always a time and the place for a good Player Killing, mind you!」
「And since we can wash away our sins, we can be as flashy as we want to be!」
「We have received some pivotal information from our Pioneering friends! There is no longer any need and reason for us to hesitate!」
「Tias-tan! Please look after me when I’m sick……」
They make a very weird impression with their strange equipment and poor weapons.
They make a strong impression that they might have come from Firstia or somewhere near it.
They make a strong impression that they might be both harmless and cannibalistic at the same time.
The laughter comes to a stop.
They are still active sinners with red names.
They must not allow for that fact to ever be exposed to the general public. They must not allow for it to happen.
And for the sake of that goal…… even killing their own is just the means that justify their end.
Yes, that’s right. Those guys…… They find joy in killing other players.

「Kukuku…… Sanraku, you bastard. We certainly had to lay low somewhere, but this……We didn’t have all that much time to talk that time, but I wonder just what kind of face did you made there……?」
The café “Snake and the Blue Apple” is the branch office of the “Snake’s Apple” that was just recently opened here in the New World. And it just so happens that there is one woman sitting in this café right now, gracefully enjoying her cup of tea.
However, the appearance of gulping the entire cup of tea all at once and them biting into a stack of dried beef jerky is hardly an image that comes to mind when you think about a tea time snack.
「Oh well, “Well, there are idiots in this world who would hold a banquet if their name appeared on something as insignificant here as the bleached thread so… Kukuku, going out with a bang is always a nice way to go.」
No one knows this, to say the least, but the name of the person with which Sanraku had a connection was none other than Survival. Currently playing the role of the Avenger, but he still has many connections with Player Killers, including the infamous guild “Tias-chan’s Dress-Up Corps”.
And although both of them came from the same place and acted as completely different characters here in this game, their connection from that time was not lost to them.
And their real identities, which have been hidden to escape the penalties connected to player killing, are exposed for the first time in a long time.
And now, it is the members of the dress-up corps who are willing to accept the “request” coming from Survival, all in the name of ensuring their own survival and continuation of their hobbies.
「I don’t know if they will try to do something, but I think it’s because that Atbad guy sold them quite an interesting story out there.」
It’s easy to be mistaken about this, but apparently it’s not just Firstia who wants to dress up Tias-chan…… or rather, most of the members have already set foot on the New World as the first team that was pioneering in the New World.
After arriving at the new continent, they are started to do active Player Killing, but they have some kind of respect for themselves and their comrades, because they have returned to Firstia soon after with nothing more but regrets, wailing: “Even if you raise your karma there, Tias-chan will not come!!” And so they chose to stay on their old turf.
And then came Sanraku and Survival who lent them money. Money was the greatest incentive here, since they were always poor from wanting to go and see Tias-chan. And then Sanraku said: “If you are going to die anyway, it would be fun to go wild, don’t you think? Kind of like a bleached firework!” Survival, who earnestly carried out the joke, spit out the bones that had lost even the sticky meat and laughed invincibly.
「Your aim this time around is “E-Miria” and her “Tempura Knights”…… You may all be a bunch of idiots, but even people like you can make themselves useful from time to time. I might even be willing to throw you a bone for that.」
「Survival.」
「Ahmh……? AH!? R-R-R-R-Ru-Ru-Ru-Ru-Ruthia-chaaan……!? It cannot be! Your face! Your precious face is no longer hidden, but is so out in the open like that!?」
At that moment the faces of the Player Killers all turn pale, as the bounty Hunter Tias-sensei appears placed on the shoulder of Survival. This, on the other hand, caused him to let out a mighty shrill filled with both admiration and terror.
「I do believe, it’s time for, a little sermon.」
「Eh? No way! No! I don’t want to…… S-Sermon? We are talking about a reward, right!? Wait! Just let me prepare myself first! I need to make sure that my recording items are all in place and that they work properly……!!!」
In conclusion, it seems that for him everything was just about right.
