I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 2177: A Nostalgic MMO ⑩



Of course, from the golden treasure chest, we obtained the most valuable item available in that dungeon. As Aoi-chan had mentioned that the difficulty might have been a bit high, the dungeon we were challenging was one of the highest-tier dungeons accessible to Tier-3 Classes, so naturally, the ultra-rare drops from it were also incredibly valuable.

[This isn’t an item that either Aoi-chan or I can use, so selling it is the best option, right?]

[That’s right. If we use the money to get resistance equipment, we’ll be able to access more places.]

[Yeah. Also…… I’m thinking of reallocating my stats and skills more toward a tank role. Aoi-chan’s firepower is overwhelming, and in this dungeon, our strategy of me holding the enemies while Aoi-chan attacked worked really well.]

[The Heavenly God's Accessory turned out to be even stronger than its description suggested. I think the 30% damage reduction it provides is applied at the very end of the damage calculation. Considering that, Kaito-san’s durability with that equipment was practically on par with a Tier-4 Class.]

Just as Aoi-chan said, while the accessory’s chance-based damage nullification was strong, the sheer durability it provided while equipped was incredible.

With all stats +20 and HP doubled, my survivability was already significantly boosted. On top of that, the fixed damage reduction further reinforced it…… making it possible to withstand attacks in a dungeon where enemy firepower was supposed to be high.

Moreover, since I had only recently advanced to Tier-3 Class and hadn’t leveled up much yet, by the time I reached Tier-4 Class, I would become even more solid. If I adjusted my stats and skills further toward a tank role, I might even be able to challenge even higher-difficulty dungeons.

[……Well, putting that aside, we’ve been playing for quite a while. Let’s take a break.]

[Yeah. We’ve been going nonstop since the event dungeon, so I’m feeling a bit tired too.]

[We’ve been sitting the whole time, so why don’t we stretch a bit and have some tea on the garden terrace? I’ll ask Illness-san to prepare some tea and snacks.]

[Sounds good.]

Having been absorbed in the game after such a long time, we had played intensely. Taking a break now felt like a good idea, so I moved with Aoi-chan to have some tea together.

By the time Kaito and Aoi headed for their break, Canalis had arrived at the parallel world cybernetic space. Her reason for being there was simple: to meet with the Virtual God, an acquaintance of hers.

The first time she appeared in this space, it was to eliminate an entity that had been acting suspiciously in the digital realm. Since that matter had already been dealt with, there were no further issues regarding it. If Virtual God hadn’t shown up, Canalis would have erased the anomaly herself.

The problem was that even after the threat was removed, Virtual God remained in the parallel world cybernetic space. Curious about what she were doing here, Canalis visited…… and with her usual blank expression, she tilted her head slightly.

[……What are you doing, "Electrone"?]

『I would like to preemptively clarify any misunderstandings. At this moment, this unit has not violated any agreements or restrictions. In accordance to the regulations of Miyama Kaito-sama’s fan club, should a disturbance occur in a non-Trinia location that is closely linked to cybernetic space, this unit has the right to act as Kaito-sama’s guardian. Therefore, this unit’s presence here is not out of personal desire but as a legitimate execution of rights…… Proceeding with further clarification…… <I am strictly following Nebula-sama’s instructions as well as all fan club agreements and contracts, and I swear I have not attempted any direct contact with Kaito-sama, nor have I entered Shallow Vernal’s world>…… Hence, there is no need for concern.』 ⱤΆℕöꞖÈṠ

[Ah, no, I know you’re always careful about such matters, so I’m not really worried about that…… What I do want to ask about is…… your outfit.]

Electrone had responded that she was here because of an agreement established by the various World Creators…… more specifically, the fan club regulations concerning Kaito. Within the cybernetic spaces of worlds outside of Trinia, Electrone was granted the right to protect Kaito against malicious entities.

Canalis had no issue with that. She was already aware that among the World Creators…… among those who had once pledged loyalty to Nebula, a fan club for Kaito had formed, and she also knew that various agreements had been made regarding it.

That said…… she couldn’t ignore the bizarre sight before her————- Electrone, dressed in a pink happi coat emblazoned with "KAITO-SAMA SUPER LOVE", wearing a headband that read "VICTORY ONLY FOR KAITO-SAMA", and holding seven-colored penlights in both hands.

『……Providing response…… <Even if this is by coincidence, this is a rare opportunity to support my oshi, Kaito-sama! Attending in proper attire is only appropriate!>…… Therefore, this outfit is the formal dress code for supporting my oshi, Kaito-sama.』

[……Well, I can’t really talk since my own facial expressions are basically dead, but…… seeing you wave those penlights with such high energy only to immediately return to a blank expression is quite the emotional whiplash.]

Watching Electrone rapidly shift from a calm and composed machine-like demeanor to that of an enthusiastic fan, only to abruptly revert back to an expressionless state, a wry smile was formed in Canalis' expressionless face.


<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [T- This God has…… quite the intense character……]

Makina : [She's like that, and yet, this Electrone apparently started as an AI that underwent abnormal evolution, reached the domain of Gods, destroyed the world it was originally born in, and then went on to create a new one……]

Serious-senpai : [That backstory is way too intense……]@@novelbin@@
