ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 614: Once You Connect With Me, Everything Will Be Fine (With Some Exceptions) Part 1

One Type Man Series, the Tactical Warbeast Cone “The Pyramid Man”.

Unlike the Avant-Garde Type “Cube Man” and the Game Type “Ball Man”, the Cube Man that ran next to each other by swinging a solid mana railgun for long range shooting, which is mainly equipped on Tactical Warbeasts that are usually tasked with fire support from behind the main lines. With a machine like that, I step on the gas and accelerate.

Cube Man has a powerful booster because it has the role of maintaining the front line and pushing up, but only two legs are used for self-reliance purposes. In other words, the Cube Man with an angular body that tumbled vigorously during high-speed maneuvers was prone to falling down like a dice that was thrown loosely inside of a cup.

「Number Four successfully secured, moving onto the next one.」

Pyramid Men holding the Solid Mana Railgun was now holding the Red Numbe One as its designated target, all the while cranking up the boosters and overtaking the Cube Man who was up until now holding onto the Number Four.

Assessing the situation took no longer than a second, and if you look through it, the bullet fired by the manual lock-on flew with a supersonic speed, landing on to the side of the Ball Man that was on the innermost side of the front team trying to turn the curve, and the sphere blown off by the impact from the outside crashed by involving the two machines that were supposed to be overtaking the rest.

「Their functions did not stop, fifth, sixth and ninth are being retrieved. Next!」

Pyramid Men, who robbed the Wire-Type taser rifle from the cramping Cube Man, casually held it with one hand and fired.

The wire that flew forward flipped its circuit and landed on the Ball Man Number Four heading toward the Pyramid Man.

「AHH!? OH SHIT!?」

「This feint is seriously monstrous. But that takes care of Number Four. Next!」

「STUN GUWAH –––!?」

Tick, tick, tick, and the Ball Man who ate the three electric shocks loaded in the taser gun rose smoke from its machine and fell down.

「H-Huh!? The function did not stop? What the hell is going on……!?」

「…… Today is the day to issue the perfect ten thousand betting tickets, so with that in mind……」

「HUH……? AHH, SERIOUSLY NOW!? WAS THERE REALLY THAT KIND OF A LOOPHOLE THERE!?」

「You are all welcome to try and imitate it if you want…… Now then, securing the number Two!」

Red Number One commonly known as Red One…… It seems like the usual scene of a player who is directed to the emotions of sadness and defeat that has won and defeated so many opponents that he can choose the number and color with priority among player jockeys. But this time around something was clearly different.

The spectators noticed that as well when the Pyramid Man, who had slammed eight aircraft other than itself into an incapacitated state, kicked the Pyramid Man Number Three out of the way and started speeding towards the goal line.

「Wait just a…… Is there even such a thing here!?」

「Wait, wait, wait, wait just a freaking moment!! I borrowed some money and bet them all on destroying the Red One eight times!?」

「Surely forcibly manipulating the rankings like that must be against the rules, wouldn’t you agree!?」

「LISTEN HERE, I NEVER EXPLICITLY STATD THAT YOU CANNOT DO THAT, AM I RIGHT?」

「「「「「“BRAVE FISH”––––––!!!!!!!!!」」」」」」

「OHHH, IT SEEMS THAT THIS TIME AROUND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE GOING BANKRUPT, HUH? OH WELL, FOR THE TIME BEING, LET ME START THE USUAL PROCEDURES.」

First place, Number Three.

Second place, Number One.

Also, why is it that a Pyramid Man that connects fifth, the seventh, the eighth, the sixth, the second, the ninth and the fourth place in this order using a long-range Wire gun? That question was probably going through the mind of every single spectator that was in the audience right now. But still, it was going quite strong……

「……TYPE MAN, IF YOU KEEP ON INCREASING YOUR OUTPUT LIKE THAT, YOU CAN EVEN PULL UP TO SEVEN MACHINES TOGETER…… ISN’T THAT THE SAME KIND OF STRATEGY AS THE ONE THAT SUZAKU USED TO EMPLOY? OR COULD IT BE, ARE YOU CUTTING THE MAIMUM OUTPUT ON PUPROPSE HERE TO MAKE IT MALFUNCTION?」

ZUGON!!!!!!

After restarting, the fist of Pyramid Men, who was supposed to finish as second place right behind the Ball Man who tried to overtake other Pyramid Man, was struck and fell off course once again. And just like that the race was settled, and until the finish line there were hardly any changes in the positions of competitors.

「Borrowing! The! Money! Complete! I! Am! Done!!!!!!」

「Hahaha! By the way, I can finally say it! I’m fucking rich!!!」

「…… Sanraku? What’s that all about?」

「Ah, that? It’s just the way that this Good-For-Nothing and Filthy-Lolicon are. Best leave them be and do not concern yourself with them.」

While welcoming Rust back, who managed to get herself free of debt in a manner of just one game, we all have showed the perfect score of ten thousand points worth of betting tickets to the “Brave Fish”…… And just like that, we would be granted the free passage onto the fourth layer without any further formalities and complications.
