ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 601: Late Night Shout, and the Dawn Girl Part 2
「What’s more! If you’re going to challenge this thing right here, you’ll have to go through me first! And you are very well welcome to do this, if you don’t mind getting grinded into EXP points and drop items, that is!」
…… And now we just sit back and wait for any reaction at all.
I don’t know just how many opponents are hidden out there exactly. It would be ideal if they just backed away and gave it a rest after that little demonstration, but if it happens that a few Goldunine closes start rushing me all of a sudden, I guess that the only real option in here will be to make a run for it. Or…… I should just leave my companion behind and try to fight them all alone, to buy us some much needed time? …… But I can already imagine how that would go.
When it comes to Goldunine, she probably has a dirty trick or two up her sleeve, no matter if we are talking about the original one or the copy. However, I do not wish to make a fight to the death in here right now, so hopefully with enough warmongering intent showing on my side, they will just ––––––
「T-The presences…… T-They are…… going away……?」
「Conclusion:; Does that mean that Plan B was a success?」
「Fuuh…… Oh yeah, everything went just according to my plan!」
「Oh yeah, that’s a big fat lie and we all know it!」
Listen here, Emul. As long as you manage to arrive at the proper conclusion to a problem at hand, it doesn’t really matter if you did so by a simple equation, some fancy and complicated graph or a sheer stroke of dumb luck. Whether it is a multiple choice question or a descriptive question, there is no difference between the correct answer that was derived seriously and the correct answer that was accidentally hit by rolling the dice. After all, the only thing that counts here is the result that you are getting.
「In other words, the RNG might be a bitch, but it is the kind of bitch that can be useful from time to time.」
「Yeah, I don’t really get it here, so……」
We consider the devil to be evil, but when it comes to contracts, that may be evil as well, we accept them because they technically abide by the law. So this means that even though RNG has its uses, it is still on the darker side of the force, so to speak.
However, it may be said that with this we just managed to overcome probably the highest and the most problematic of the walls that would be standing in our way. The rest is to just run into the Snake’s Apple before the troublesome normal monsters manage to approach us. Even if another Goldunine collaborator lurks in the front line base with the same idea as me, you can see what happens if you appeal that “There is a Unique Monster is here!” at the player’s base of operations.
「All right, now everything that we need to do is to just traverse through the sea of trees and we’re pretty much golden…… Ahh……」
「What’s wrong?」
「No, I mean…… Ah, it’s nothing really. But wait just a moment.」
While diverting my gaze from the other members of the party who looked genuinely confused right now, I refocus on what was always on the edge of my field of vision this whole time.
As long as I’m alive, the probability is not zero…… uh, yeah. The upper limit of my HP has been reduced so much that right now it was only but an illusion that it was still there, when in reality it was pretty much non-existent. The maximum HP is one at the current moment, isn’t it? If I twist my leg on accident, I will die instantly or something even more horrible than that.
「Haah…… I need to refresh for a little bit.」
「Excuse me……?」
I erect the tent on the spot, lie down in it to make a save, then get out and stand up…… Oh, there’s a tree of just the right thickness in a place like this. What a stroke of luck!
「FUNGOH!?」
「HUEH!?」
A head butt filled with full-hearted remorse! The blow of the astonishing heavenly land that splits the heavens and withers the spring shakes the big tree, and above all, my head gets crushed and I die on the spot.
「Just what exactly are you making me wear here……?」
「Eccentricity: Eccentricity or eccentric behavior. Pick your poison.」
Wanting to return to being a human, that is a typical humanitarian behavior that won’t ever be suspected by anyone.
…
………
……………
There is no night after which the dawn will not come around. And there is no goal that cannot be reached, no matter how hard or unrealistic it might seem at first. And just like that, we have reached our destination at the break of dawn.
「Oh wow, amazing……」
「I know, right? By the way, my friends and I managed to beat that thing in a battle once. 」
「If you are going to make up a lie on the spot, could you at least make that lie a believable one?」
「…………」
「Huh?」
I mean, of course I was being serious with that, well duh! Strictly speaking, it was not me who did all the job, but Kyogoku situated in that run-down shack on the outskirts of the forest…… But there is need for het to know about that. So yeah, let’s just say that it was me who was the one to do it.
「Alright, Wimp. Since the dawn is upon us, the morning is sure to follow. And in the morning there will be more people around here. …… Let’s just hurry it up and get this thing over with.」
Not to mention that I can get a little bit late to school because of that. It should be what, about 5 a.m. now? So if we are to wrap this whole thing up quickly, we need to move fast. I just hope that the rest of the way is going to be a smooth sailing from here on out……

「………Hmph.」
「Good morning, my sweet Little Girl Sensei!」
I used the power of the Holy Grail with a speed and smoothness worthy of an Olympic sprinter. When I change into a woman’s body I bow my head before the little girl that was right in front of me. God damn it, why is this fucking idiot Survival has to make so much noise in here, huh……!?
The Bounty Hunter who wore a dress that was handed over to her as a casual wear (via me who was a fool back then) instead of her normal battle attire, is starting to get a little drowsy at the current situation, where the strongest little girl warrior is reigning supreme in a bar located in the new continent. At that moment my brain basically restarted and was now working on its full capacity.
