I love time travel the most!

"No!!!"

Without giving him a chance to explain, poor Kazuma Sato was forced to wear a silver bracelet by the guards.

Seeing that he was about to be taken away, Kobayashi quickly stepped forward to explain that they were just playing a punishment game, and that Sato Kazuma had just lost.

With Aqua and the others nodding in agreement, the unfortunate Kazuma Sato was finally let go.

"Why am I so unlucky...?"

I just entered the game and hadn't even had a chance to experience its wonders before suffering such a traumatic experience. That's just too unlucky.

However, this also shows that this virtual city is not as simple as imagined. Otherwise, these NPCs would only respond according to fixed routes and pre-set lines. Why would they take the initiative to capture Sato Kazuma?

"Speaking of which, where's Liu Zi? Didn't she come?"

Darkness looked around but did not see the elegant maid.

"Ah, her..."

"I know she can't get in."

Before Kobayashi could explain, Kazuma Sato interjected, "Because Ryuzu isn't human and doesn't have a soul, that's why she can't get in."

“You’re wrong, Sato-kun. Actually, Ryuu can come in. It’s just that when our consciousness enters the game, our bodies, which are outside the game, are completely unprepared and need someone to look after us. Also, don’t worry, I’ve already promised to go on a date with Ryuu alone later.”

"Oh, oh... but is it true that Ryuuzi was able to come in?"

"Of course. In the end, this device just collects the signal sources of objects and gathers them according to the commands of consciousness. Even if Liu Zi is not human, she can still appear here because she has independent consciousness and a fixed program. It just needs to convert her signal source first... blah blah."

"That's enough, stop talking."

Kazuma Sato covered his head.

His studies weren't good, so listening to Xiaolin's explanations was like listening to a teacher lecture in class. Even though he was surrounded by a flood of knowledge, his unrefined brain couldn't retain any of it, and it only made his head spin. If he didn't understand, he didn't understand; he had to face reality.

"So, we can have fun to our hearts' content now?"

"Of course, please do so."

If you don't play to your heart's content, then what's the point of assembling this super-sized arcade machine?

Just as Youyou hoped, let's create beautiful memories together in this huge virtual city.

--at this time.

[Beep beep! Welcome to the world created by the great Creator!]

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in everyone's ears.

Chapter 435 Family Reunion! Virtual Reality Game?

[Beep beep! Welcome to the world created by the great Creator!]

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in everyone's ears.

The notification sound wasn't issued by a person, but rather came from an invisible loudspeaker in the sky.

The sudden change threw them into a state of panic.

"Huh?! What's going on?!"

Aqua hid behind Kobayashi, too timid to even see the goddess's shadow—how pathetic!

[This is a virtual world that faithfully recreates the Creator's homeland. Please listen to the explanation first. The magical artifacts you use project objects from this world, which are the entrances to this virtual space. The people and buildings on the street are very realistic, aren't they? If time permits, please make sure to enjoy the virtual space TOKYO.]

"Virtual space... TOKYO?"

Darkness mimicked the other person's tone, but not understanding virtual space or Tokyo, she didn't comprehend what the other person meant.

By the way, TOKYO is Tokyo, right?

As expected of an island nation!

Alright, just explaining would be too boring, so I'll give this to you as a symbol of our acquaintance.

As soon as he finished speaking, several dark figures descended from the sky.

Youyou stepped back and said, "What is this? It's so strange."

"Is the box with mysterious patterns something like a magical artifact?" Huihui was wary and dared not approach.

Okay, accept the gift.

Okay, accept the gift.

Okay, accept the gift.

……

"Wow, what's going on? Will it keep playing on a loop if I don't accept it? It's disgusting. Anyway, I'll accept it for now."

Xiaolin gestured for everyone to take the boxes.

The patterns on the surface of each box are the same, and there are no special markings indicating ownership, so they are probably similar to beginner gift packs, at least from the outside they don't look dangerous.

Upon opening it, they found a stack of money.

The face value is 1, the exact amount is unknown, but it's a thick stack, so it must be quite a lot.

Yes, that's how it should be.

It's not like a mind-numbingly difficult Souls-like game; casual and relaxing games like this should get more discounts.

It seems that bald researcher is quite knowledgeable.

[Confirmation received.]

The continuous broadcast in the sky stopped.

Just when Kobayashi and the others thought it would pull another trick and ask them to do something, they were surprised—

So, if time permits, please enjoy yourself.

After uttering those words, accompanied by a sound similar to a school bell, the mysterious mechanical voice disappeared.

Is this some kind of tutorial for new players?

Just like every game developer provides guidance when welcoming newcomers, what role does it play?

"What happened just now?"

"As a result, I didn't understand most of the things, nor did I know how to return to reality."

"I'm a little uneasy..."

Because the guidance was too ambiguous, and the people from the other world didn't understand this approach, Darkness and the two Crimson Demon girls were still somewhat confused.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have trusted that bald guy."

Kazuma Sato clenched his fists.

What a thoughtful guy. Even though it was Kobayashi who kept encouraging them to use this virtual game machine, he didn't blame his companions but complained about how unreliable outsiders were.

"Sorry, I should have tried it first."

"It's alright. Besides, you know where this is, right? I think it's called... TOKYO, isn't it? Since this is a rare opportunity, why don't you show us around?"

Huihui also comforted Xiaolin.

Since returning from Scarlet Devil Village, she's been consistently speaking in Kobayashi's favor. While this was true before, it's become even more pronounced. If the one who made the mistake were Sato Kazuma, the little girl would probably be condemning him by now.

"Yes, maybe we can find clues to leave and tell us more about this city."

"I...I think so too..."

Darkness and Youyou also offered their comforting words.

"Everyone……"

Xiaolin was deeply moved.

Kazuma Sato nodded and looked around, saying, "Ah, yes. Hmm, around here..."

"You guys, don't ask Kazuma, an unemployed shut-in, to lead the way for sightseeing! Isn't that pathetic?!" Aqua suddenly spoke up, and her words caused great harm to someone.

"Huh?! Even I know about Shibuya! I'll take you to the place where you'll have the most fun!"

I only helped her out of embarrassment to avoid embarrassing my senior, but now I'm being mocked by that stupid goddess. I have no choice but to prove myself.

------

Under the confident guidance of Kazuma Sato, the group arrived at the game center.

If you're looking for a place that's easy to get hooked on and perfect for a group outing, this is it. It boasts a wide variety of novel and fun arcade games, as well as adorable claw machines that will captivate even young girls.

Kazuma Sato's choice was undoubtedly correct.

For example, right now, Xiaolin is being pulled by the arm by Huihui in front of a claw machine, determined not to leave until she catches that doll that looks like a doll.

"Hurry up, Kobayashi, I want that!"

"Yes, yes, I will try my best."

Kobayashi intently manipulated the mechanical grappling hook to grab the plush toy, but his technique was so poor that several times he managed to grab it only to have it fall again due to the grappling hook's tremors. This caused Huihui considerable emotional turmoil each time… she was referring to.

"Hmph, you guys are all no good now, when it comes to claw machines, I'm a professional!"

Kazuma Sato tossed three dolls around in his hand, and surprisingly, he had already amassed a considerable number of dolls in a very short time.

"Wow! Wow, Kazuma! I never knew Kazuma had something he was good at!"

Huihui exclaimed excitedly.

It's a bit hard to tell if it's mockery or praise; I don't know whether Kazuma Sato's expression is angry or smug.

"Waaaaaah! I was so close! Ugh! This claw machine is so hard to win!"

The silly goddess behind her let out a frustrated shout. Enraged, she kicked the claw machine hard, and her violent act naturally drew the attention of the staff.

Darkness smiled and said, "Aqua was too hasty in the end. Yuuyu was very calm in this respect."

"H-How could that be... Miss Darkness is joking." Youyou twisted her body.

With Sato Kazuma's three spoils and the others having none, the jet-black doll resembling a doll in Yu-Yu's hand stood out dazzlingly.

"Hui, Huihui... If you don't mind, this... is for you."
