半壊し、さらに入り組んだ王城内を駆け抜けていると、身長が二メートル以上はありそうな偉丈夫が通せんぼして来ましたね......着ている衣服や装備品、装飾品から見るに大物の可能性がありますね。
「どちら様で?」
「......エルマーニュ王国軍総大将、アードルフ・M・サウスクラウド」
これまで王城内で出くわしたのは壊乱している兵士の方々のみ......それも殺すとなるとハンネスさんと蘭花さんが邪魔して来ますので、ちょっと消化不良気味でしたんですよね。
「そんな方がどのようなご用件で?」
「知れたこと......歴史と伝統ある我が祖国に唾吐く大逆罪共を誅するのよ」
「......おい、おま、一条......お前......え? いや、大丈夫か?」
どうやら成功のようですね。この言葉をユウさんが発した後、必ずと言って良いほどにマリアさんが「そんな! 貴方を置いて行けないわ!」だとか、「大丈夫なわけない!」みたいに、相手を心配するような言動を取りますからね......そう来たら次は──
「......ほう? ほうほうほう? なるほど......貴様が、貴様があの悪魔かァ......」
そうです、敵が「全員逃がさない」というような事を言ったらすかさず挑発するのです......確か二人はそんな感じで進めていましたので、間違いありません。
総大将さんもこめかみに青筋を立て、憤怒の形相で私のみを見詰めていますしね。
「私は別に楽しければここでイベントを脱落しても問題ありませんのでお構いなく......大国の総大将ともなれば、とんでもなく強い重要NPCでしょうしね」
私自身はスルーしていましたが、どうやら私がアレクセイさんとロノウェさんを立て続けに殺した事によって、運営がNPC全体にテコ入れをしたようですからね......それに重要NPC自体、プレイヤーがメインシナリオを進める毎に強化されていくのが決まりのようですし、現時点での大国の総大将ともなれば......ふふっ、楽しみですね?
「お前......そんなに死亡フラグ重ねて大丈夫なのかよ──」
「──いいから行くぞ! アイツの頑張りを無駄にする気か?!」
何故か微妙な表情をしていたハンネスさんが言い募ろうとしていましたが、タピオカマンさんに羽交い締めにされながら引き摺られて行きますね......凄いですね、本当に先に行くように告げるだけで一人になれるとは......ユウさんとマリアさんのおふざけにも意味があったのですね。
「果たして死亡フラグとジェノサイダー、どっちが勝つのやら......それはヒンヌーのみぞ知る」
いつの間にかこめかみの直ぐそこにまで振るわれた薙刀を、咄嗟に鞘から抜き取った勢いのまま短刀の柄で下から殴り付けながら、姿勢を低くする事で凌ぎます。......思った以上のスピードで素直に驚きましたね。
「......ふふっ、久しぶりに楽しめそうです」
「貴様の死体を辱めてやろう」

ロノウェさん以来のNPCの方との真剣勝負ですね......腕が鳴りますね? どう『遊び』ましょうか? レベル差等が大きいですから、創意工夫が必要ですね。
「主君の仇討ちとなれば、心躍るのは否定せんがな......」
本当にいつもこうだよね......喧嘩の原因はしょうもない事なのに、仲直りに変に時間が掛かっちゃって、馬鹿らしい......いや、ここは私からいつものスパイラルを断ち切ろうじゃないか! 駅前のケーキを奢る事になるのは癪だけど、なんだか嫌だしさ......よし!
「うぇっ?! あ、はい! なんでしょう?!」
「──って、いやいやいや! え?! 誰?! なんで私知らない人に担がれてるの?!」
「おお! マリア様! 麗しき清らかな御身に、この現世に穢れた私めが触れる事をお許しください!」
「じゃなくて! アンタ誰よ?! セクハラよ! 降ろしなさい!」
「何を言っておられるのですか! このゲームではプレイヤーも『借り者』になるのですよ?」
ユウとの喧嘩と仲直りに夢中になってて気付かなかっけれど、期間中ランキングで上位五〇〇名ずつが要人として発表されてる......なるほど、それで狙われてしまっ──
「──つまり合法的に我が聖母をお救いできる」
「──ユウぅ!! 謝るから助けてぇ!! 今すぐ助けてぇ!!」
「大丈夫でございます、安心なされよ......危害を加えたい訳ではございません」
ま、まぁ『借り者』になっただけだし......ちょっと変態過ぎてビビったけど、ただイベントのルールに従ってるだけか......なら何も問題は──
「──ヒンヌー教義、その十八ッ!! ──彼女達は臆病であるが故に隠れる、故に眺めて愛でよ」
「ユウッ!! 早く助けてッ!!」
多分、今の私は顔面蒼白だと思う......状況がさらに悪化しても、周囲のNPCに被害が出ちゃっても構わないから、レーナさんが助けてくれないかな......そしたら確実なのに......。
As we ran towards the royal castle, a strong man that was over 2 meters tall stood in our way and exclaimed, "Stop!"
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"I'm the Supreme Commander of Hermagne's Royal Guard. The name is Adolf M. Southcloud." He replied.
However, Hannes and Ranka were already readying their weapons, this is a bit troublesome...
"What business do you have with us?" I asked him.
"I've come to put an end to the scum that spit on the honorable history of this country." He said while also readying his weapon. Seems like he is willing to fight to the death.
"Hey, Ichi... I mean, Rena... Will you be alright?" Hannes asked me.
Success! Just like Yuu and Maria said! The 'No, I can't leave you behind' scene! In that case, the follow up is... "Do not waste my efforts! Hurry up! I'll be fine even if I die!"
"Oh... So you... I see... So you are the devil that ruined this country." He commented.
Just as planned! If the enemy says something like, 'I won't let any of you escape', then all I need to do is taunt him, so that he only cares about me!
And right now, the eyes of the Supreme Commander were filled with anger, and focused entirely on me.
"I don't mind dropping out of the event here, because this looks fun. This ridiculously strong Important NPC. The Supreme Commander of Hermagne... He is mine, so you go on ahead." I told him.
Moreover, it seems like the management team decided to greatly increase the strength of the NPCs after I killed Alexei, Ronove, and caused a lot of Chaos here in Hermagne. Not to mention how NPCs are supposed to naturally increase in power as the players advance through the game... So, right now, this NPC right in front of me must be a real challenge.
"I mean... Is it really alright to raise so many death flags?" Hannes asked.
"We should go! We cannot waste her efforts!" Tapiocaman suddenly exclaimed, then he picked up Hannes and started running ahead.
"W-what?! What are you doing, Tapiocaman?! Stop this!" Hannes exclaimed, but Tapiocaman did not stop at all... Perfect! Just like Yuu and Maria said it would happen! This was quite the important knowledge that they taught me.
"I wonder who will win... the Genocider, or the Death Flag army that she raised... Not even a Guru like me can know that." Hymn's Guru said that while following Tapiocaman.
He was quite fast, and I was almost unable to react to it, but I parried his attack with my shortsword in the nick of time.
I giggled once more, "Been a while since I felt like this... I'll enjoy this battle."
"I'll destroy you so thoroughly that not even a corpse will be left." The supreme commander said.

Avenger: <Attack Power increases when fighting for revenge: Large>

Strongest Person of Hermagne
Cool Old Man
He really is quite strong. It's my first serious battle against an NPC since Ronove... So exciting! How should we 'play' today? We have big difference in level, so I'll have to be creative here.
"I cannot deny that I am enjoying the opportunity of avenging my lord." The supreme commander replied... Well, it's fine if I'm the only one excited.
It's always like this. It can't be helped that we quarreled, but to take this long to make up is ridiculous... No, I can't let our relationship remain like this! I'm not going to let this quarrel stand in our way any longer!
"W-whoa?! W-what is it!?" He asked me.
"Wh-what the!? Who are you!? Why are you carrying me like this!?" I asked him.
"Oh, lady Maria! Please allow me touch your beautiful pure body!" He exclaimed.
"Wait, what!? No! Stop that! That's sexual harassment! Get me down!" I have no idea what was happening, but somehow this guy was flying away with me! Why!? And why is he calling me 'lady' of all things!?
"What are you talking about, my lady!? Players can also be kidnapped in this event!" The kidnapper said.
"Eh!? Ah... You're right..." I replied. I was so caught up in my fight with Yuu, that I totally forgot that the people that were having the best scores in the event would also become kidnapping targets...
"And because of that, I can legally save you, Saintess!" He exclaimed... Scary. Shivers ran all over my spine... This should just be a normal event kidnapping, but why am I getting goosebumps when listening to this guy, "Ah, to think that this lowly Hymn's Guru would be able to touch lady Maria directly... What a blessing..."
"Yuu! I'm sorry! Please help me! Please help me right now!" I shouted as loudly as I could... When I was in trouble, dealing with something that was too much for me, he always helped me out... Please help me out again.
"Do not worry, for I won't harm you, my lady." He told me.
Coming to think about it, this is just a kidnapping for the event, so... Even if this guy is perverted and scary, it should be alright for as long as the event's rules are followed. I'll probably just be taken to his home country and that will be the end of it... Right?
"Hymn's Pledge number eighteen! They hide out of timidity, so look over them and love them!" The pervert exclaimed.
"Yuu! Please help me!" I shouted once more.
I'm sure I was horribly pale now. I don't care if things go worse, or if the NPCs near me get hurt, I just need some help... I wouldn't even mind if Rena came and destroyed everything in our surroundings in the process, just please save me!
