ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 570 Part 2

ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 570: The Correct Answer Is “Prepare For The Next Landing Confirmation!” Part 2

There is a possibility that by bringing Sigma into the theater I managed to change the movement of the other “me” quite drastically…… Well, it’s more unskilled than I expected. After all, I really need a change of pace right about now.

「I, I see…… A-And do you know perhaps for how long you are going to be absent?」

「Hmm? I haven’t decided how long it will take, but … about a week, maybe?」

「F-For an entire week……!?」

As expected, Rei-san’s reaction was quite the lively one. Perhaps she was shocked to hear that I would be absent for an entire week, or seven days, or roughly about one hundred and sixty eight hours. True, some people would not bother getting back into a game after such a long time has passed, but I consider myself to be an enjoyer. I won’t abandon a game that easily, but I want to dip into a different setting so that my shitty game hunter’s soul could get a new portion of fresh excitement.

After writing the same thing in the chat, the real person, Towa Amane will smile and show me a glaring face that is not laughing at all, emanating a truly malicious aura.

「(◔ิω◔ิ)」

「Uwahaah.」

「Uwahaah?」

Pencil Knight King: Wow, now I’m angry!!

Sanraku: The drawback is that you don’t know what you look like right now. And I know.

Pencil Knight King: (◔ิω◔ิ)

Sanraku: What happened to you for you to suddenly go crazy like that? Could it be that this is your casual expression? Or maybe your car got towed away by the cops?

Pencil Knight King: I’m angry!!!

Right about now I have a big smile painted all over my face.

However, although I gave up all of a sudden (self-proclaimed), I was not completely calm about the whole situation. And then there was that surprise about the capture announcement of the Unique Scenario EX, but overall Pencilgton said that we shall discuss the rest “Inside of ShanFro”. On the screen, she was explaining a graph of “The Highest Level Reached by the Players” (though the name was not mentioned, there were about three players who knew about who it was, and they all belonged to the “Wolfgang Guild), and “The Record of Monsters Killed by the Player” (Wow, there was a picture of a spider, a scorpion and a centipede, but there was no name of who could have done it). I continued talking while making such a player’s progress appear in a hologram, but for some reason I was registering only every second word or so, with my thoughts already drifting somewhere else.

「（、ン）」

「Now that’s some tremendously flat expression if I have ever seen one……!」

「Huh? Did it really look like that just now?」

「Huh, no, it’s fine. Umm, I was just surprised to the see the emoji that appeared, so……」

No, that’s not it, just what kind of…… Ahh, it was only now that I realized that the stage event was slowly drawing towards its end. While watching the trio that started talking about some unrelated topic, my mind slowly started to drift somewhere else, eventually trying to pinpoint the exact new game that I was going to play. Maybe that one farming simulator from way back? But wouldn’t that be dangerous? I have heard through the grapevine that recently the developers added new monsters to the game. And some of those were truly gigantic and even more powerful than already existing monsters that were considered to be apex predators. But this time around I am going to spec myself towards power and then I’ll show that fucking giraffe what I’m made of…… Or was that actually a cow……? I can’t really remember all that well.

No, no, no! Or not! It might actually be a good idea to try and spend my forced ShanFro vacation inside of Bakumatsu Online. Apparently there will be some sort of new event happening soon, something called The Thousand Slashings Case. And to make the matters more interesting, Kyogoku said that a large number of high quality items would flow to the pawn shop once the event is over, and a large-scale destruction festival would start right after that to boot. However, for an event like that there are bound to be a whole lot of strong players out there…… Yeah, they will definitely come, the absolute top of the leaderboards! So the probability of being beheaded there is going to be quite high.

No, no, no! Wait, wait, wait! There is also Justice Versus to consider here! At first, JasBa was famous for its voice actors and almost every single line getting a voiceover, from the main cast to the hidden characters! However despite all that and the publisher, Hobbitwork, having experience in that field of games, it did not sell all that well. At least in Japan, that is. But after that, the game has become a huge hit completely out of nowhere overseas, mainly in the United States. Next thing you know, the publishing giant Spike Games bought the rights to JasBa and because of that it became the hit title it is today.

Therefore, for a very short period of time…… The phantom first edition of Justice Versus, which has been on the sales channel for only one month, is being traded at a super-premier price. But this is also exactly part of the reason as to why it was considered to be so famous and a “cult classic” that it is nowadays. So I really want to see it for myself and hear all those cool voice lines that I could only listen to in videos up until now!

「Ah, umm……」

「Hmnh? What’s up?」

「Umm, this is…… The event seems to be over, but…… Where are we going to go next……?」

Huh, wait, seriously? I didn’t even notice when the event was finally over, but apparently that was the case here! But as you might have expected, the all chat column was scrolling through the displays at high speed, making it pretty much impossible to read what the people were writing in there. Hahaha, people can be truly awesome in the weirdest of ways, wouldn’t you agree?

「Yeah, you’re right…… But I wonder, is there really some booth in particular that we could visit here? …… Ah!」

「…… Hmm?」

Oh yeah, that being said, maybe we should go check some more places up? It would certainly be wise to use the time we were given in here to the fullest before the event comes to a close.
