ガラガラと崩れ、自分の頭の上に降ってくる氷塊を左腕の篭手で弾きながら息を整える......ギリギリだったけど、何とかスタミナが足りた。
キモい奴らと凍らされた時は少し焦ったけど、細剣の周りに《振動衝》で作った小さな隙間を利用して《二連突き》《四連突き》《八連突き》と細かく発動し続ける事でようやく砕く事が出来た。
小さな隙間では十分に振りかぶれないし、ほぼ突くというよりも前後に小さく揺らす感じではあった......けど、連続して同じ場所に当て続けるとダメージが増えていく《継ぎ矢》を発動していて良かったと思う。
「はぁ......はぁ......」
私は何としても名声が......このゲーム運営の目に留まり、そのさらに背後に居る政治家から注目される程の名声が欲しい。
当初はゲームで稼いだ金額と同じ額のリアルマネーが支払われるからと、この『下層民救済プロジェクト』なるものに参加した。
けれど次第に、いつしか私達の知らないところで行われた選考によって私と同じ下層出身の数人が運営の目に留まって上層への居住の許可と正式な戸籍を手に入れたらしいと聞いた。
......定められた期限までにカルマ値がマイナスだと脱落するのではない......特に大した事も成せずにマイナスだと『ただの犯罪者予備軍』として下層に戻されるんだと、そう気付いてからは私が取るべき手段や行動は変わったんだ。
「ユウ、っ......!」
幼馴染みで、五歳下の男の子と一緒に『いつか放射能がない上層に住みたいね』なんて話し合っていた......まぁ、その子はフィーリアという名前で慣れないネカマプレイをした挙句に重要NPCになっちゃったみたいだけど。
だからこそ、あの子はもう上層住みがほぼ確定しているからこそ......今度は私がその権利を勝ち取らなきゃいけない。
生まれ付き家族や親しい相手であろうと他人の顔が認識できず、見る事も覚える事も出来ない私でもトッププレイヤーと呼ばれる人達や、重要NPCを殺していけば注目されるはず。
顔が判別できない私でも、殺し屋として依頼を受けるという形を取れば向こうから......私も知らない有名人の暗殺依頼が来るし、依頼を受ける過程で私の存在も大多数に認知されるはずだと......それに、有名人なんてどんな人物であっても誰かから恨みや妬みは買っているものだから数には困らない。
「お前を殺して、私はさらに名声を得る!」
「......そっちはマリアだよ」
掲げた細剣を少しズラして隣の人物へと向ける......こっちは炎使いで一つ前に戦った奴だったか。
赤と黒以外の色も認識できない私では服装から判別する事も難しい......かろうじて分かるのは片方は露出が少し多いかな、という事くらいか。
まぁ何にせよ、こいつを殺す事に変わりはない。
「......殺されたくなかったら私を殺せ」
「本当に混沌プレイヤーは極端だよね!」
ユウ(?)が追加で全身タイツのキモイ集団を召喚する......本当にコイツらは邪魔くさい。
先ずは何かオットセイの真似をしているらしい者の首を
お仲間が目の前で殺されたにも関わらず、全身タイツの集団は欠片も気にせずに私へと突撃してくるようだ......とても、ウザイ。
『よろしくニキーwww』
『何回も間違えて恥ずかしくないんですか^^』
『PK厨くっさw』
『キッズかな?』
......真面目に聞いても意味はない罵声を完全に無視しながら剣を振るう。
上から掴みかかろうと振り下ろされる手を膝を曲げながら半回転する事で避け、目の前の全身タイツがそのまま腕を伸ばし切ったと同時に曲げた膝を伸ばし、脇下から抜き出すようにして振るった細剣で首を
そのまま首を失った全身タイツの死体に体当たりをする事で、そのさらに後ろから飛び掛って来る者への盾とし、一人分の重量がぶつかった事によって動きを止めた全身タイツの腕を掴んで引き寄せる。
『害悪プレイやめちくり──かひゅっ!』
《霜焼け》と《低体温症》のバッドステータスによって手元が狂い、細剣の切っ先で喉を掻き切るだけに留まるがそれで良い......悶え苦しむ全身タイツの首から噴き出す血飛沫によって幾人かの目が潰された。
そのまま彼ら......彼ら? が目元を拭うまでの時間を利用し、ド真ん中へと爆薬を投げ込みそのまま反転......爆風を追い風に術者であるユウを目掛けて駆ける。
「《螺旋突き》」
「《世間との壁》!」
また妙なスキルを使う......名前から効果が推測できないのが一番厄介なところだと思うけど、それ以上にそんな変な名前のスキルに自分の技が防がれているという状況が我慢ならない。
それに世間との壁と言うのであれば、戸籍も選挙権もない私の方が分厚い物を持っている。
「《バイキンタッチ》! ......赤鴉に田中菌が移ったぞー!」
でも、なんだろうな......それと同時に少し楽しい気もする。
このユウって子と戦っていると何が起こるか分からなくてドキドキするし、純粋な気持ちで闘争が出来る気がしてしまう。
「《バーリア》!」
「《タイム》!」
......訂正、やっぱり凄くムカつく。
ユウ自身がちょこまかと動き回って逃げるだけに留まらず、よく分からないスキルでよく分からない挙動をするから本当に追い切れない。
それを何とかしてやっとタッチ出来ても、これまたよく分からないスキルで防がれてしまう。
「今度こそ──タッチ!」
「《クソガキ》!」
ユウがまた何か変な名前のスキルを発動すると、眩い光と一緒に鼻水を垂らした子どもがニヤニヤしながら現れる。
『はい今のなーし!』
「......嘘、ちゃんと防がれる前に触れた」
『何時何分何秒地球が何回回った時〜?』
「......答えられないと無かった事にされます」
「......ありなの?」
「......ありなんです」
少しムカついたり、でもやっぱり戦うのが楽しくなったり......ユウと殺り合うのは小さくない感情を私に与えてくれるらしい。
そのどれもが本物で、どれが正しくて偽物なのかとかは無い......けど、一つだけ確かな事が言えるとしたらそれは──
「あ、ちなみに答えられないと小学生の子どもに煽られます」
I rattled and collapsed, but I managed to get enough stamina to catch my breath while playing with the basket of my left arm against the ice chunks falling on my head.
I was a little nervous when I was frozen by those disgusting people. Still, I was finally able to shatter them by using the small gap created by the "vibration impulse" around the thin sword and continuing to launch the "Double thrust," "4-stroke thrust," and "8-consecutive thrust".
The small gap was not enough to swing the sword. It was almost like a small back and forth swing rather than a full thrust. ...... However, I was glad that I had activated the "joint arrow," which increases the damage if I keep hitting at the same spot multiple times in a row.
"Hah ...... hah ......."
I want fame at any cost ...... so much so that it will catch the attention of this game's Management and the politicians behind it.
At first, I joined this "Save the Low-Class Project" because I was paid the same amount of real money in real life as I have earned in the game.
The first thing that came to my mind was that I had been in the same class as the others. Still, gradually through a selection process that took place without my knowledge - a few people from the same low class as me, caught the attention of the Management and were granted permission to move to the upper class and obtain official family registration.
I realized that if my karma was negative by a certain deadline, I would not be eliminated from the program, but if I have a negative value without doing anything special, I will be sent back to the lower level as "just a criminal reserve army".
"Yuu ...!"
Once I was discussing with my childhood friend, five years younger than me, about 'someday I want to live in the upper levels where there is no radiation. ...... Well, it seems that my friend became an important NPC after playing an unfamiliar game of necromancy under the name of Philia.
That's why I have to win this right...... and that my friend is almost certain to live in the upper levels now.
Although by nature I am unable to recognize, see or remember other people's faces, be they family members or close associates by nature. I should be able to draw the attention of Management by killing the people who are called top players or important NPCs.
I cannot recognize faces, if I accept requests as an assassin then I receive assassination requests from the unknown ......Mostly celebrities. And in the process of accepting the requests, my existence will be acknowledged by the majority.... ...Besides, any celebrity, no matter who he or she is, they are bound to have some resentment or envy from someone, so there's no need to worry about the numbers I kill.
"I will gain even more fame by killing you!"
"...... that's Maria over there."
He shifted his raised sword a little and pointed it at the person next to him. ...... This one is a flame user, the one I was fighting before............
I can't even recognize colors other than red and black, so it's hard for me to tell them apart from their clothes or faces. ...... The only thing I can barely tell is that one of them might be a little more exposed than the other.
Well, whatever it is, it doesn't change the fact that I'm going to kill both of them.
"... Kill me if you don't want to be killed"
"Really chaotic players are extreme!"
Yuu summons additional disgusting people with full-body suits: ...... These guys are really annoying.
First of all, I decapitate the neck of a person/creature who seems to be imitating a fur seal. The black sword flash illuminated by the sunset and the fine red-light drizzle stains this frozen beach.
Even though their friends were killed in front of me, the disgusting people in full-body suits seemed to charge at me without a shred of concern ...... very, very annoying.
"Nice to meet you!"
"Don't you feel ashamed of making mistakes so many times?"
"I'm not a PKer."
"I'm not sure if they're kids or not."
He swings his sword while completely ignoring the cursing that makes no sense even if he listens to it seriously.
I avoided a hand that was swinging down to grab me from above by bending my knees and doing a half-turn. As soon as the full-body tights in front of me reached down, I stretched out my bent knees and pulled out my sword from under my armpits and twisted the neck with the thin sword.
By slamming his body into the headless corpse, I used it as a shield against those who jumped at me from further back, and grabbed the arms of the tights that had stopped moving due to the weight of one person hitting them.
"Harmful play, stop it!"
The bad status of "Frostbite" and "Hypothermia" made me lose control of my hands, and I could only slit their throats with the tip of my thin swords, but that's okay. ...... My eyes were blinded by the blood spurting from the neck of their writhing, full-body tights.
After wiping my eyes, I threw an explosive into the center of the field and flipped it as it was. It was blasted as a tailwind. They ran toward Yuu, the magician.
"Spiral Thrust!"
"Wall to the world!"
I think the most annoying part is that I can't guess the effect from the ...... name, which uses another strange skill. Still, more than that, I can't stand the situation where my skills are being prevented by such skills with strange names.
And if you want to call it a "Wall to the world", I have a thicker one than you do, as I have no family register and voting rights.
""Baikin Touch"...... Tanaka fungus has transferred to the red crow!"
"I don't know how to feel about this ......it makes me a little mad."
I'm thrilled because I don't know what will happen when I'm fighting this Yuu, and I feel like I can fight with my pure feelings.
"Barrier!"
"Time!"
...... correction, I'm still very annoyed.
Yuu moves around a bit and escapes and behaves in a way that I don't understand with skills that I don't understand, so I really can't keep up.
Even when I finally manage to touch him, I'm blocked by another unfamiliar skill.
"This time -- touch!"
""Fucking kid "!"
When Yuu activates a skill with a strange name again, a child with a runny nose appears with a grin and a dazzling light.
"Yes, now!"
"... lie,...I touch before it was properly prevented."
"What time, what minute, what second, how many times the earth moved?"
"......, if you can't answer, they'll forget it ever happened."
"Is there a ......?"
"...... yes."
I'm a little pissed off, but I still enjoy fighting,...... and it seems that fighting with Yuu gives me more emotions than I could ever imagine.
I can't say which of them are accurate, which are correct, and which are fake......, but if there is one thing I can say for sure, it's that--
"If you can't answer the question, the elementary school kids will get upset with you."
