ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 561 Part 2
ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 561: The Front and the Back In Parallels, And We Are the Spartans Part 2

Pencil Warrior: ………………
Sanraku: ………………
Pencil Warrior: Hmm, oh, I see! Now I get it! Now I understand! I’m sorry! It was my fault right now!
Sanraku: Why do I sense that there was little to no sincerity in that apology? Listen, dude! When you are apologizing to someone, at least make sure that you sound sincere, even if you are not!
Pencil Warrior: Hoo? Someone in here is getting absolutely cheeky, huh? Why the fuck would I even want to apologize to you for shit, huh? Forget about it! Keep dreaming and MAYBE one day it will happen?
Sanraku: Hoo boy, I can see that you are as rotten as ever, huh? If the simple concept of apologizing to someone is so hard for you, this must mean that your conscience is so small that you wouldn’t be even able to see it under a microscope, huh!? Don’t you think that’s just laughable!?
Pencil Warrior: Hey, it wouldn’t actually kill you to get off that high horse of you, you know? And besides, I am the one who is in the right here. So you can try to act tough all you want, but that’s not going to work.
Sanraku: Oh, just look who’s talking about staying on their high horse? I swear, every time I talk to you I feel like my brain cells degrade and die with each passing second. …… Wouldn’t that actually be amazing? Real-time brain death play? (lol)
「Wolfgang’s Group Chat」
Pencil Warrior: So, what are you going to do now, Mister Monstrous Funny Face? Thought about that? Or maybe you’re going to say that you don’t plan this far up ahead?
Sanraku: Hey, stuff it, you bitch! Or else you’re going to regret it!
Rust; Huh??? The hell is this all about?
Mold: Hmm? What are you guys even talking about?
Pencil Warrior: Oh, it’s nothing, really. Just a small discussion about the sanction that this asshole is going to be subjected to, that’s all.
Mold: Huh? I…… I don’t really get it……

「That absolute bitch……! God fucking damn it……!」
Kuh, that bitch managed to snatch the initiative from my hands, and now that she has done that, there is literally nothing I can do in order to retrieve it! God fucking damn it! I knew it! In this life you need to be constantly paying attention to what is happening all around you, lest you want to end up in a situation in which you are going to miss an opportunity of a lifetime! And I have no one else to blame for this situation but myself!
However, this situation is not a game. I cannot load a previous save file or I cannot rewind time to undo the damages that have already been done. And since Rei-san has gone to pick up some flowers or whatever other euphemisms for going to the toilet we want to use here, I cannot really leave here until she comes back from doing her business. But doesn’t that mean that I am pretty much stuck in here!? Yeah, I think it does! And I don’t really like it!!!

Sanraku; Say, when are you going to have some segment about ShangriLa Frontier?
Pencil Warrior: Hmm, let’s see…… We are about to have three more news segments, so I guess it would be somewhere after that? Most probably.
Sanraku (Visibly gasping for air)
* * *
Hmm, if there is still going to be some sort of a segment or corner about ShangriLa Frontier, then who knows? Maybe it will be a good thing to actually stay here and play along with Pencilgon’s screwed up games for once?
「Now then, whatever is it going to be what he have in store for you next, I wonder?」
「This time around, we would like to present to you the latest production from the critically acclaimed Royal Production studio…… “Spartan Metal”! Please give it a round of applause!」
「Alright then! How about some demonstrations, first? Our dear staff members, could you please roll the special teaser trailer, thank you so much?」
Oi! I don’t think that now is the appropriate time for that!!!
–––––– This place is called Sparta. For some, this place is equal to Hell. But for some, this place is nothing short of Heaven.
「Oh, the child of the great Sparta! From now on you live for the sake of your country! And for the sake of your country you shall die as well! From this point onward, all of your compatriots are your enemies, and all of your enemies are your compatriots as well!」
–––––– The life of a warrior is that of continuous fighting, day in and day out, without rest.
「Oh, the young fledglings! For your suffering and sacrifice, neither the food nor the money can be given to you!」
–––––– In this world, there is no such thing as peace. There is only fighting and strife.
「What? No food and no money? Then we are nothing more but slaves in here!」
–––––– In this world, there is no such thing as happiness.
「Listen here, you! You should be glad that you can serve our glorious Sparta! Even the Great king Leonidas would be able to carry on on nothing more than the fact that his fighting is what keeps the glorious Sparta safe!」
–––––– However.
「XERXES!!! IT’S XERXESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! XERXES’S ARMY HAS APPEAR!!!!!!!!!」
–––––– Even in a hellish place like this, there are those in whom you can trust.
「Greetings, my poor fledglings! Thanks for sharing some of those delicious potatoes with me! Now, in return, I shall teach you the ultimate military tactic that Sparta has to offer! Yes, I’m talking about…… the Phalanx!」
–––––– If there is one thing in which you can trust, that thing would be Unity.
「For a Phalanx! We are going to fight! We are going to travel to Thermopylae and we are going to defend it!!!」
–––––– The ties forged with blood. Yes, they are……
「Come here and fight us, if you can! And you! Raise your spears! Hold your shields firmly! Form a Phalanx! Form a Phalanx! Yes! THIS. IS ……!!」
「「「「「「SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!」」」」」」
–––––– Spartan Metal. COMING SOON…… ––––––
「This thing right here is what I would like to call Sparta’s Ultimate Weapon. Giant Armored Phalanx: Phalanx Superokos Rekedaion.」

Sanraku; I have a feeling that this thing is going to be a Top Tier Godly Game.
Pencil Warrior: I know that it is something that is sure to get you all excited, but it’s best to not let yourself be fooled by the initial impressions. Because you might be in for a rude awakening once all the bloody fighting starts, you know?
Sanraku; ………… Huh? What the fuck does that supposed to mean?
Pencil Warrior: Hah! This is it! This is what I need! A Bakumatsu Brain at its finest, with no strings attached!
* * *
Actually, I’m looking forward to it, but it was a fact that the Bakumatsu Online was starting to grow a little stale on me. Therefore, trying to live the life of a Spartan warrior might not actually be so bad for a change. Even Raid Boss, who seems to be unable to live outside the end of the Bakumatsu period, would certainly like to take a Spartan vacation, so to speak. Not to mention that the Royal Productions is a company with a track record of good and solid games under their belt…… So I cannot imagine this game going anything else but to become a huge hit.
Welcome to all of the new people! For the time being, just take a moment in order to reskill! You are going to need it!
